I was just wondering what amplifers those of you with pickups use.I bought a pignose acoustic used but it has a horrible buzz. Is it betterto have and acoustic pickup for banjo or will an electric guitar amp workas well. I will mostly be playing through a PA but would like to use the ampas a monitor while I practie.thanks,Kirby
steve davis - Posted - 11/27/2008: 16:07:00
I have 2 wonderful old tube amps.A 1968 Fender Vibrolux and a 1961 Ampeg b15n bass amp.I have the Jones pickups in my 2 banjos and use my amp as a monitor and board signal through a red box (Direct Box).I love the Fender which was my dad's amp for his pedal steel,but lately I've been using the Ampeg more as the banjo tone through it is very,very good.timtim

I can only relate my actual experiences, using a Gold Tone SMP pick-up.Roland micro cube---pretty good "acoustic" option. The other guitar effects sound just like that, guitar.Roland JC120---made for electric guitars, not banjos, unless your running your signal through other tone altering equipment first, or you are not trying for authentic acoustic tone.Rloand Cube 60-- same "acoustic" setting the micro cube has, and works good.Straight to powered mixer-- yuckTo powered mixer through Boss "acoustic simulator" effects pedal-- my second favorite.Roland AC60 acoustic guitar amp-- My favorite by far. Also has a second channel with XLR input and phantom power if you decide to mic your banjo (or voice), and also an effective feedback killer.Dean

the roland cube is one I'm considering..so I'm glad to know it works good. I like that it has battery powered option

Hi Kirby, An amplifier you may want to try before you buy is a Crate CA-125 DG, acoustic amp (available at Guitar Center, and at Musicians Friend). One of the main reasons to buy an acoustic amp is the feedback suppression, and you get more with this amp than any other on the market, it can get loud, and still sound like your banjo too. If you listen to the song clips on my homepage, they were recorded with this amp, then directly out into the studio mixer. They are great on stage, we use the line-outs into the mix and the amps for ourstage monitors. I have a band that plays LOUD...Very LOUD. We use drums, and electric guitar, rock n' roll music, with a banjo, and I've tried nearly every pickup/amplifier system, and this is the best I've used. Farley
kirbonite - Posted - 11/28/2008: 07:04:06
yes,I've heard goog things about that one., I'm also looking into the behrigher amps. they have a lot of positive feedbackand are priced lower. they also have a mic input and tubesimulator. either way, I'll be better off than I am now.I enjoyed your band a lot btw.. Kirby
1four5 - Posted - 11/28/2008: 08:08:06
Thanks for reminding me of the Crate farely. Our lead guitar player uses the 30 watt version (Taos) and what an sweet little amp. I've played my banjo through it, and although it's sound was close to the AC60... that little 30 watter had a LOT more volume and head room.Dean

A Kid Too Young To Walk Goes Waterskiing [VIDEO]
This is hysterical, plain and simple. A kid less than a year old going waterskiing. Boy, they sure start them young these days. Do you think this is a little cruel, or just cute?
Personally, I think this is really pushing it with a kid this young Are they trying to breed a super athlete or something? Ok ,I'll hold any other comments until you see this
<iframe width="970″ height="580″ src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pG0kcYrhUu8″ frameborder="0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>
I guess I'm too conservative, and maybe we all hover over our infants too much and shelter them, but this is going way too far the other way, don't you think?
How do you feel? Would love to know your thoughts.

Life is a marathon. Keep running.
Now if that doesn't sound like an awesome quote, then I don't know what is. But I found it in the last place that I would ever go for advice. Yet, I found it just in time.
July was not only awful in the weather department, but in my private life as well.
Early that month, I became Mrs. Monique Spencer as I married the love of my life, Gary. Now I should be basking in "honeymoon bliss" right? Wrong.
That night, I received a phone call from my mother who is stationed in Afghanistan.
"So, have you watched the news this week?" she asked.
Confused, I said no. She told me to Google her husband's name and to stay on the line. As I typed his name, my heart stopped as soon as I pressed "enter."
There was her husband and another man, both arrested on felony drug charges and both mentioned on local news channels and websites.
I could hear my mom's cries through the phone. "How could this happen? You think you know someone, huh?" she said.
I grieved with her as she vented. She was married to this man for almost nine years. No one guessed he had involved himself in anything like this.
The next week, my home got water-damaged after a pipe ruptured under the foundation of the house. The city's utilities department had to shut off our water, forcing my husband and I to spend our first month of marriage in a hotel suite.
But that's not the icing on the cake. My car got a flat tire while we were out of town, and I was forced to leave it at the hotel. When we returned three days later, my car had been towed. Now I must pay $400 to get it out of the pound.
By mid-July, my heart and soul felt empty. I felt like I had nowhere to turn. I cried for days, not wanting to get out of bed. I asked myself, "Why me? Why? Everything was going well before this."
One night, my husband caught me crying.
"You can't feel like a victim when times get bad, honey," he said. "This is just a true test of faith and integrity alone. Congrats on going through a struggle."
I was too weak to yell, so I just slammed the door.
The following Sunday, I went to my Buddhist service. The guidance I received there took me by surprise:
"Life is like a marathon, as is faith. Though you may lose the lead in the midst of the race, victory or defeat is decided at the finish line."
As a former track and field athlete, I could relate. But as a stubborn mule, I resisted.
When I got home, all I wanted to do was sleep my stress away. I opened up my medicine cabinet, and all the contents inside fell out. While cleaning up, I looked at a quote printed on a feminine sanitary wrapper: "Life is a marathon. Keep running."
Obviously, the universe had spoken and I needed to listen. I spent the rest of that evening in deep thought and prayer.
In early August, I got an email from my Realtor. She found a loft-style home within our price range and move-in ready in Harker Heights. We filled out the paperwork, and are now painting and decorating.
Last Thursday, I got a phone call from an old high school buddy. He sounded upset. His home was burglarized by a family member, and he called asking if he could stay with us for a while. We opened our new home to him.
And the universe just slapped me across the face.
The world doesn't only revolve around the individual. It surrounds us all. When times get rough for us, the rest of the world still goes on. Still moves. Still pushes. That's what we should do. Keep going. We should learn through our experiences so we can eventually help others. This is what helps us grow.
So if you are reading this and also going through something in your life: Congrats. We are both going through struggles. Congrats, we are growing together.
Now let's keep going.

By Sgt. Mark B. MatthewsNovember 6, 2007
CAMP LIBERTY, Iraq (Army News Service, Nov. 6, 2007) - Towering overhead and aligned one after the other in a seemingly endless row, the Army's next generation of combat vehicles have rolled into Iraq.
The new Mine Resistant Ambush Protected vehicle is currently being fielded here for the first time anywhere, and Soldiers are getting their first hands-on look at the latest development in troop protection.
"I'm really impressed by the vehicle, mainly because of the height, and the fact that it can drive about 20 to 30 degrees on its side without rolling over," said Spc. Marquis Dawkins, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division. "It is also much more comfortable. The makers of the MRAP were definitely thinking about the Soldiers."
The MRAPs come in two categories. Category one holds up to six Soldiers and will replace the Humvee. Category two is a longer version, which can hold a crew of 10 Soldiers. Both vehicles, although different, bring the same ideas of troop protection to the fight.
"The vehicle has an angled bottom shell on it so it can deflect blasts a lot," said Pfc. Nicholas Lane, Company C, 2nd Bn., 2nd Bde., 2nd Inf. Div. "Hopefully, it will keep us safer out there."
Prior to the vehicles being handed over to the units for day-to-day use, the Soldiers are given extensive training on how to operate, drive and maintain the vehicles. This training also introduces Soldiers to some new luxuries the Humvee lacked, like pneumatic doors and suspended seats.
"Throughout this week we are learning how to work on the trucks, and we're learning how to drive them," said Pfc. Lane. "This is the first course, and the vehicles are still new so we're just taking it step-by-step."
This training not only familiarizes the Soldiers with the vehicles, but gives them confidence in the MRAPs, as well, by giving Soldiers the opportunity to drive the vehicles over steep hills and through tight turns.
"I feel blessed," Spc. Dawkins said. "Knowing the capabilities of the MRAP gives me reassurance that even though I have a few more months here in Baghdad that I have a much better chance of getting home to my family."
The MRAPs were designed to be both safe and effective for Soldiers conducting patrols, convoy security and missions throughout Iraq. As more trucks arrive in theater these trucks should play a vital role in providing security and stability to the people of Iraq.
The MRAPs are currently being fielded to units who need them the most and operate in areas with the highest threat, officials said. Although the Humvee is not expected to be phased out anytime soon, the MRAPs will begin to take its place as a new standard Army vehicle.

"The more you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go." Dr. Seuss got it right. When you read, every day can be an adventure!
Early literacy experiences are critical to healthy brain development. With this in mind, Needham Elementary School is hosting a "Reading Celebration" this week. Exciting new things are happening on campus each day. From being featured on Good Day Sacramento to classroom visits by volunteers who read their favorite books, there is a lot to look forward to each day.
I had the pleasure of participating by reading one of my favorites by Dr. Seuss, "A Big Ball of String", to first grade students in Ms. Jaymont's class. Watching the children, eyes wide with anticipation as each page turned, was definitely the highlight of my day!
Join Needham in their effort to excite children about reading! Take the time and read to someone today!

Current Management of Unusual Genitourinary Cancers: Part I
Current Management of Unusual Genitourinary Cancers: Part I
ABSTRACT: Often overshadowed by more common genitourinary cancers, such as prostate, testicular, and kidney cancers, penile and urethral cancers nonetheless represent difficult treatment challenges for the clinician. The management of these cancers is slowly evolving. In the past, surgery, often extensive, was the treatment of choice. Recently, however, radiation and chemotherapy have begun to play larger roles as initial therapies, with surgery being reserved for salvage. With these modalities in their treatment armamentarium, oncologists may now be able to spare patients some of the physical and psychological sequelae that often follow surgical intervention without compromising local control and survival. Part 1 of this two-part article focuses on cancer of the penis. Part 2, which will appear in next month's issue, discusses cancer of the urethra in both females and males. [ONCOLOGY 13(10):1347-1352, 1999]
Penile and urethral cancers, while less common than other genitourinary cancers, such as prostate, testicular, and kidney carcinomas, nonetheless represent difficult treatment challenges. The management of these cancers is slowly evolving as radiation therapy and chemotherapy begin to play larger roles in treatment. Part 1 of this two-part article focuses on cancer of the penis. Part 2, which will appear in next month's issue, discusses cancer of the urethra in both females and males.
Epidemiology and Etiology
Cancer of the penis is a rare disease in western countries, where it is responsible for fewer than 1% of malignancies in male patients. Worldwide, however, penile cancer constitutes a major health problem, accounting for as many as 10% to 20% of cancers in males living in Asia, Africa, and South America.[1] This cancer is virtually unknown in Jews who practice infant circumcision and is seen only rarely in Moslems who delay circumcision until the age of 3 to 13 years.
Cancer of the penis has been associated with phimosis and poor local hygiene. The human papilloma virus (HPV) may be an etiologic agent[2,3]; HPV-16, in particular, has been identified as a potential causative agent.[2] Ultraviolet radiation also appears to have carcinogenic potential for squamous cell carcinoma of the penis.[2]
The penis is composed of the corpus spongiosum and two corpora cavernosa enclosed within a fascial layer called Buck's fascia (Figure 1). The corpus spongiosum expands distally into the glans penis, which is covered by the foreskin (prepuce).
Over 95% of cases of penile cancer are squamous cell carcinomas (Figure 2). Bowen's disease, or carcinoma in situ, is also seen. Erythroplasia of Queyrat is a variant of carcinoma in situ. Approximately 18% of patients with acquired immune deficiency (AIDS)–related Kaposi's sarcoma have lesions on the penis or genitalia.[2] Other sarcomas, melanomas, basal cell carcinomas, and lymphomas have been reported but are extremely rare.[ 1] A 1992 review of the literature identified 277 cases of lesions metastatic to the penis.[1]
The incidence of lymph node metastases from squamous cell carcinoma of the penis is related to histologic grade. Well-differentiated tumors have a far lower incidence of spread to the nodes than do moderately or poorly differentiated tumors.[4] Verrucous carcinoma, a variant of squamous cell carcinoma, appears to have an especially low potential for metastatic nodal spread.[5]
Routes of Spread
The skin of the penis and prepuce is drained primarily by the superficial inguinal nodes, while the glans is drained by the superficial inguinal nodes, and, along with the corpora, by the deep inguinal and iliac nodes. [6] The first site of metastasis from carcinoma of the penis is usually the inguinal nodes, with secondary involvement of the pelvic nodes. [6] Dessication of the superficial lymphatics at the base of the penis accounts for bilateral involvement.[6]
Approximately 50% of patients with cancer of the penis present with palpable inguinal nodes.[1] A course of antibiotic therapy is indicated in patients with palpable nodes, as only half will contain metastatic disease while the other half are inflamed secondary to infection of the primary tumor.[7] Conversely, approximately 20% of patients with clinically N0 inguinal nodes will be found to have metastases in these nodes if prophylactic node dissection is undertaken.[7]
The most common sites of distant metastatic disease are the lungs, liver, and bone. [1]Clinical Presentation The clinical presentation of penile cancer varies from subtle areas of induration, erythema, or warty growth to obvious extensive carcinoma.[1] The earliest symptoms include itching or burning under the foreskin and ulceration of the glans or prepuce, which can progress to a lump, mass, or nodule. With continued neglect, the lesion advances until a persistent, foul-smelling, purulent discharge exudes from beneath a frequently phimotic, nonretractable, distorted prepuce. Pain usually is not proportional to the extent of local destruction.
Ultimately, neoplastic extension along the entire glans and shaft, invasion of the corpora cavernosa, erosion of the prepuce, bleeding, fistulas, or total destruction of the penis may occur. Occasionally, inguinal ulceration is the initial complaint because of tumor concealed in a phimotic preputial sac. [1]
Diagnostic and Staging Studies
The work-up for carcinoma of the penis begins with direct examination and palpation of the penis and inguinal nodes. Cancer of the penis can infiltrate deeply into local tissues. Ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the penis may be useful in delineating the degree of local infiltration.[8]
A computed tomographic (CT) scan of the pelvis and abdomen can help assess the pelvic and para-aortic nodes. A chest x-ray should be obtained in all patients, and a bone scan should be performed when clinically appropriate. A lymphangiogram is not warranted, as it appears to add little information beyond that provided by clinical examination[1] and CT.
The TNM staging system for penile cancer is shown in Table 1. In the literature, the Jackson system is also used extensively, although it lacks the precision of the TNM system. Table 2 compares the two staging systems.
Surgery for treatment of carcinoma of the penis has ranged from circumcision and local excision to radical penectomy, depending on the extent of the lesion. Most authors recommend a 1.5- to 2-cm margin of resection to prevent local recurrence.[9-11] However, a Moh's micrographic surgical technique has been described; this procedure may offer a less deforming alternative in selected patients and local control rates up to 86%.[11] Erythroplasia of Queyrat usually is managed by circumcision and topical fluorouracil. Bowen's disease can be managed by local excision or Moh's surgery. [2,11]
Most relapses occur within the first 12 to 18 months after penectomy.[12] Thus, close follow-up of these patients is important. Montie[12] recommends performing a physical examination of the inguinal nodes monthly for the first 6 months, bimonthly for the next 6 months, and then quarterly for the next year for higher-risk individuals (ie, those with poorly differentiated histology or invasion of the glans or corpus cavernosum). Inguinal CT scans are obtained every 3 to 4 months for the first year.
For patients who develop penile recurrence after initial partial penectomy, further surgical salvage may be possible.[12] Disease that recurs in the urethra is particularly worrisome. Such disease tends to grow quickly through the corpus spongiosum. When faced with this situation, the surgeon should consider resecting the entire urethra and possibly performing an anterior exenteration.[13]

It will again be a family affair at Oklahoma.
Former Arizona coach Mike Stoops will rejoin the Sooners staff under his brother Bob, the coach confirmed to the Tulsa World in a text message.
The news was first reported Tuesday by ESPN's Joe Schad, who said Mike Stoops would become the team's co-defensive coordinator.
Mike Stoops was previously the defensive coordinator in Norman from 1999-2003 before leaving for Arizona. He was fired by the Wildcats in October after posting a record 41-50 record with three bowl appearances.
To make room on the Oklahoma staff, secondary coach Willie Martinez will be departing for an unknown location, Stoops told the Tulsa World.
After Mike Stoops was fired, Bob Stoops said he was open to his brother's return, but there wasn't an opening on his staff. Mike Stoops interviewed with Nebraska and Ohio State for vacancies after the regular season was completed.
His return should help the Oklahoma secondary, which was exposed in losses to Texas Tech and Baylor this season.
With Mike Stoops leading the defense, the Sooners produced multiple All-America defensive backs, including Roy Williams, and won a national championship in 2000.

Alzheimer's question?
my fiancees father has alzheimer, and he is prone to anger and intimidation when he has his "bad days"..right presently he is in the beginning stages of alzheimers, and i be wondering, do these rages become worse during the moderate stage, or does the person become more mild mannered and helpless? also, how long does it take to get to the moderate stage? appreciation
Answer: Every patient is different. Personality changes do go on. His Dad may become calmer, or his bad days may become more frequent. My husband be a Type A personality, and became extremely calm and child-like with the disease. As portion of the disease, a patient can lose the ability to control himself or to know when he's behave badly. The family can tell to his doctor about the behaviors. He might need some medication to help with discouraging behaviors.
The disease will also progress differently in every patient. We be told the average is 8 to 10 years, but some patients can live with the disease for 20 years. It tends to walk a little faster in patients diagnosed beforehand age 65, the early-onset patients. My husband was diagnosed 6-years ago in his 50s. He's presently considered to be in the severe stage based on trialling, although he's still home. I would say that he was surrounded by the early stage of the disease for 2 years, and then be in the moderate stage for about 3 years. I've be told that it may be another year or so before we get to end-stage/nursing home stage.
Your prospective father within law may be dealing with like mad of stress right now if he understands the diagnosis, so his fruitless days may come from facing the disease as opposed to the disease itself. There's a lot of facilitate out there for Alzheimers' families - check out the Alzheimer's Association, Yahoo Health board, etc. The Alzheimers' Association have a really good free publication with lots of suggestions for caregiving.
Good luck - it's a horrible disease, and your fiancee is lucky you're trying to find out more info to assistance..
my mother in law have it. the anger will get worse. on the stages, it all depends on the personality. my mother in law is getting worse by the weeks, some ancestors get worse by the months, day, years. endow with him lots of vitamins, it helps some. good luck.

Please excuse me if I didn't get caught up in the media-hyped trial and subsequent not guilty verdict for Casey Anthony in connection with the death of her 2-year-old daughter.
While what she was accused of doing is awful, I don't care about where Ms. Anthony is living now, what she's doing and who she is seeing.
And I don't care that Nancy Grace, TV's equivalent to fingernails raked across a chalkboard, is still unhappy with the verdict.
But I am perplexed by the lack of national media coverage — and even national public interest — shown in the murder trial of New Orleans police officers accused of shooting and killing, wounding and maiming unarmed citizens in the days after Hurricane Katrina. Five were convicted last week of civil rights violations.
As bad as the shootings and killings on the Danziger Bridge were, the elaborate cover-up described by witnesses was even more chilling. It begs the question, "How many times has something like this happened and no one was arrested or prosecuted?"
This sad story in New Orleans had everything to draw American viewers to their TV sets, newspapers and Internet news sites. There were shootings, killings, he said-she said and cops accused of creating evidence and witnesses and of using throw-down guns. This had all the grist for a great tale, except …
The problem with the story was that poor and black people don't look like sympathetic victims — and don't tug at American heartstrings, even among many black people, the same way as young, attractive white people do.
How could this tragedy in New Orleans not garner daily updates on the national news? Officers were accused of shooting two brothers, one of them in the back, then walking up and stomping one of the shooting victims as he lay dying. Oh yeah, and that victim had severe mental disabilities.
This alone should be the stuff that the national media would deal with.
Not done in this incident, officers shot at another group, killing a 17-year-old and wounding at least four more people. The officers said they thought they were being fired upon.
After the dead and wounded were hauled away and things looked bad for the police, the officers turned to what appears to be a cover-up playbook. They charged one of the unarmed shooting victims with trying to shoot them. One officer was accused of later bringing a gun from home and claiming the victim fired it at police.
And, as added flavor, they created witnesses out of whole cloth, then offered statements favorable to the police from the fictional witnesses, according to the prosecution.
You tell me this is not so sensational that national TV news should have been giving us a daily dose of this trial.
To add more spice this gumbo of horror, the national media could have referred to another case in which two officers were convicted in a post-Katrina killing and subsequent cover-up. This is the one where cops were accused of killing an unarmed man and burning his car with his body inside. Then the corpse's incriminating skull went missing.
Talking about riveting news for the American public. The shock value of this kind of horror is enough for me.
But for the national media, everything was there for a compelling daily update, except the victims were …

McClatchy Newspapers
WASHINGTON — Congress is growing increasingly wary of controversial National Security Agency domestic surveillance programs, a concern likely to erupt during legislative debate — and perhaps prod legislative action — as early as this week.
Skepticism has been slowly building since last month's disclosures that the super-secret NSA conducted programs that collected Americans' telephone data. Dozens of lawmakers are introducing measures to make those programs less secret, and there's talk of denying funding and refusing to continue authority for the snooping.
The anxiety is a sharp contrast to June's wait-and-see attitude after Edward Snowden, a government contract worker, leaked highly classified data to the media. The Guardian newspaper of Britain reported one program involved cellphone records. The Guardian, along with The Washington Post, also said another program allowed the government access to the online activity of users at nine Internet companies.
Obama administration officials quickly provided briefings about the programs, and they continue to have strong defenders at the Capitol. "People at the NSA in particular have heard a constant public drumbeat about a laundry list of nefarious things they are alleged to be doing to spy on Americans — all of them wrong," House Intelligence Committee Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Mich., said last month. "The misperceptions have been great, yet they keep their heads down and keep working every day to keep us safe."
Most in Congress remain reluctant to tinker with any program that could compromise security, but lawmakers are growing frustrated. "I think the administration and the NSA has had six weeks to answer questions and haven't done a good job at it. They've been given their chances, but they have not taken those chances," said Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash.
The House of Representatives could debate one of the first major bids for change soon. Rep. Justin Amash, R-Mich., is trying to add a provision to the military spending bill, due for House consideration next week, that would end the NSA's mass collection of Americans' telephone records. It's unclear whether House leaders will allow the measure to be considered.
Other legislation could also start moving. Larsen is pushing a measure to require tech companies to publicly disclose the type and volume of data they have to turn over to the federal government. Several tech firms and civil liberties groups are seeking permission to do so.
Other bipartisan efforts are in the works. Thirty-two House members, led by Amash and Rep. John Conyers, D-Mich., are backing a plan to restrict Washington's ability to collect data under the Patriot Act on people not connected to an ongoing investigation. Also active is a push to require the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, which rules on government surveillance requests, to be more transparent.
Late Friday, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court reauthorized collection of telephone and online data by the federal government, Director of National Intelligence James Clapper revealed. He said the administration was "undertaking a careful and thorough review of whether and to what extent additional information or documents pertaining to this program may be declassified, consistent with the protection of national security."
"It is incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to have a full and frank discussion about this balance when the public is unable to review and analyze what the executive branch and the courts believe the law means," said Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., who has asked the administration to make the opinions of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court public.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D- Calif., is leading an effort along with Rep. Ted Poe, R-Texas, to have the court's judges nominated by the president and confirmed by the Senate. Currently, the Supreme Court's chief justice selects judges from those holding other federal district court judgeships.
Schiff also is pushing a measure, along with Rep. Todd Rokita, R-Ind., to require the attorney general to declassify significant Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act opinions, and got a boost Friday from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
If there is a prevailing mood, it's the nuanced approach offered by Rep. Jim Himes, D-Conn., an Intelligence Committee member.
"I think as more and more people come to understand the breadth of the authorizations that the NSA and other intelligence agencies have, they start to get a little worried about the encroachment on their privacy, and that's absolutely fair," he said.
The NSA is not acting rogue, Himes added. "They are acting pursuant to very clear authority under Section 215 of the Patriot Act," Himes said. But, he said, "that law is too broadly worded and being interpreted a little broadly." Section 215 provides authority for the surveillance programs.
The Obama administration maintains Congress shouldn't be surprised.
"These programs are not illegal," said James Litt, general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. "They are authorized by Congress and are carefully overseen by the congressional intelligence and judiciary committees. … "In short, all three branches of government knew about these programs, approved them, and helped to ensure that they complied with the law."

A man was knocked unconscious and hospitalized after allegedly ramming an officer with a stolen car — the sudden end to a long chase.
About 8:30 a.m. Saturday, a Utah Highway Patrol trooper saw a white BMW with no registration driving east on Interstate 70, near Thompson in Grand County. The BMW was going a little more than 90 mph, according to a UHP news release.
When the trooper tried to stop the BMW, the driver fled, so the trooper gave chase. A few moments into the pursuit, the BMW pulled off to the right and stopped long enough for a female passenger to get out before the car sped off again, the release adds.

NI, European sensor vendors adopt smart analog sensors; support IEEE P1451.4
Nuremburg, Germany—National Instruments (NI, Austin, TX) reported May 13 that European sensor vendors are joining NI's Plug & Play Sensors Program, a collaborative effort by NI and many sensor vendors to gain widespread adoption of IEEE P1451.4.
Nuremburg, Germany— National Instruments (NI, Austin, TX) reported May 13 that European sensor vendors are joining NI's Plug & Play Sensors Program. Launched in North America in 2002, this program is a collaborative effort by NI and sensor vendors to gain widespread adoption of IEEE P1451.4, a proposed standard for analog sensors. IEEE 1451.4 would reportedly make integrating 'smart' sensors into measurement systems as easy as connecting a mouse to a computer.
Several European sensor vendors already have joined NI's Plug & Play program to integrate new sensor technology, and support the IEEE P1451.4 standard, which recently went to ballot, and will be voted on by IEEE's applicable subcommittee and members. NI's group aims to improve system configuration and diagnostics, reduce downtime and improve sensor data management for its customers. The seven initial European vendors include:
Bruel & Kjaer (Denmark);
G.R.A.S. Sound & Vibration (Denmark);
Kistler (Switzerland);
LEM Components (Switzerland);
RDP Electronics (U.K.);
Sensorex (France); and
WayCon Positionsmesstechnik (Germany).
'The IEEE P1451.4 standard makes it possible for us to deliver on a long- time customer demand for automatic configuration of analog sensors for measurement and automation systems,' says Loic Moreau, LEM Components' process automation manager. 'Embedded, standardized TEDS information on these 'smart' sensors greatly reduces setup and maintenance time, while increasing general system integrity and reliability for our customers.'
The contemplated standard proposes that sensors add an embedded, low-cost memory chip containing a standardized transducer electronic data sheet (TEDS) that stores important sensor information and scaling parameters for self-identification and self-description. TEDS eliminates the need to manually input this data when configuring a measurement system.
As part of its Plug & Play program, NI and the sensor vendors are working together to expand plug-and-play capabilities to legacy sensors. Through a proposed online database of TEDS data from sensor vendors at www.ni.com , users soon will be able to download TEDS binary files or Virtual TEDS to their systems to instantly give plug-and-play capabilities to their traditional sensors without a memory chip. With Virtual TEDS, engineers also will be able to take advantage of this new sensor technology with their traditional measurement hardware, providing a smooth transition to the next generation of measurement and automation systems. In addition, engineers can implement basic TEDS management functions into their NI LabView applications using the TEDS library for LabView, which is now available for download at ni.com/sensors .
'As the official vote for IEEE P1451.4 nears, leading sensor vendors worldwide are recognizing the need to join together to adopt and build on this standard,' says David Potter, NI's DAQ platform manager and vice chairman of IEEE's P1451.4 committee. 'Through the Plug & Play program, we are ensuring that developers and systems integrators have a standard for integrating 'intelligent' sensor technology into systems that can use both next-generation sensors and legacy sensors.'
Other members of the Plug & Play program include Celesco, Endevco, Lebow, Lion Precision, Macro Sensors, Measurement Specialties, PCB Piezotronics, Honeywell Sensotec, Transducer Techniques, Watlow, Weed Instrument and Wilcoxon.

Title: Slide
Author: Jill Hathaway
Pages: 256
Publisher: Balzer + Bray
Source: Publisher Provided
Available: Barnes and Noble
From the Publisher: Vee Bell is certain of one irrefutable truth—her sister's friend Sophie didn't kill herself. She was murdered.
Vee knows this because she was there. Everyone believes Vee is narcoleptic, but she doesn't actually fall asleep during these episodes: When she passes out, she slides into somebody else's mind and experiences the world through that person's eyes. She's slid into her sister as she cheated on a math test, into a teacher sneaking a drink before class. She learned the worst about a supposed "friend" when she slid into her during a school dance. But nothing could have prepared Vee for what happens one October night when she slides into the mind of someone holding a bloody knife, standing over Sophie's slashed body.
Vee desperately wishes she could share her secret, but who would believe her? It sounds so crazy that she can't bring herself to tell her best friend, Rollins, let alone the police. Even if she could confide in Rollins, he has been acting distant lately, especially now that she's been spending more time with Zane.
Enmeshed in a terrifying web of secrets, lies, and danger and with no one to turn to, Vee must find a way to unmask the killer before he or she strikes again.
First, this book made me realize that I need to re-evaluate my rating scheme. In the past, a 3 has been a book that I recognize as being a good book, but one that wasn't particularly for me, a 4 was a book I really enjoyed, and a 5 was a book I couldn't get enough of.
But that doesn't leave any room for books like Slide – a book I enjoyed, but didn't love. So I'm changing what a 3 means to me.
This book was a good book. It's not my favorite genre – and I found the plot slightly cliche – but it wasn't badly written, and I wanted to find out what was happening.
I did, however, find myself able to put this book down for long stretches of time – that's something that almost never happens to books I give 4s and 5s to. This book wasn't memorable. It didn't grab ahold of me and keep me locked into the story the way I like my books to do.
Instead, it meandered along and was still waiting for me when I came back to it.
I wish Vee's ability had been explored more. Instead of reading like a supernatural/paranormal thriller, it felt like a contemporary novel where the MC just happened to have this random ability. An ability that was never explored, merely used. The part where she realized she could actually control the person she slides into should have been a much larger part of the story.
This was yet another story where I found myself exasperated with the MC because of her secrecy and unwillingness to trust those around her – if she had only talked to Rollins about what was going on, things could have happened differently.
That's one trend in entertainment that I simply don't understand; why have a best friend if you can't trust them with your life? It doesn't make for good books/movies when the reaction from the audience is frustration.
Overall, it was a decent book. You shouldn't run out to get it right now, but if you are looking for a light mystery, this one probably won't disappoint.

Hingis, who has been struggling with a hip injury, won 7-5 6-2 against Wimbledon quarter-finalist Krajicek.
"This is the first time I feel like myself since March," said Hingis. "I feel fresh and motivated again."
Second seed Jelena Jankovic and Wimbledon finalist Marion Bartoli were among the other winners on Tuesday.
Jankovic marked her return from a four-week layoff with a 6-3 6-0 thrashing of American Vania King.
"It was my first match since I came back from vacation and I'm still jet lagged so it was tough, but it was a good effort overall," said the Serbian.
"I focused on trying to get used to the atmosphere and the ball. I had a cup of coffee before coming on court and ended up moving well. I hope I'll get better and better."
France's Bartoli beat Aiko Nakamura 7-6 6-1 and appeared to have recovered from the stomach illness and leg injury that hampered her at Stanford last week.
"Any time you play someone who reaches a Grand Slam final, they have a target on their back," said Bartoli.
"Now some players feel like they have nothing to lose against me but I like the challenge."
On Wednesday, top seed Maria Sharapova will open the defence of her title against Thailand's Tamarine Tanasugarn.

Kelly Clarkson, 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)' – Song Review
Kelly Clarkson has revealed the finished version of the new song 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You),' a track from her 'Stronger' album, due later this month.
We know how Kelly feels about song leaks, so we're happy to report that she approved this one! Clarkson wrote, "Hey ya'll – I heard that some versions of 'What Doesn't Kill You (Stronger)' started showing up online. My new album 'Stronger' is out in 3 weeks (Oct. 24) and I want you to hear the real thing! Check it out!"
Atop a vibrant beat with synth and electric guitar accents, Clarkson tells off an ex: "You think you got the best of me / Think you had the last laugh / Bet you think that everything good is gone / Think you left me broken down / Think that I'd come running back / Baby you don't know me, cause you're dead wrong."
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger / Stand a little taller / Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone," Clarkson sings during the soaring chorus.
With a strong hook and an empowering message, 'What Doesn't Kill You' is vintage Kelly Clarkson. And it's actually a bit 'Stronger' than the album's actual lead single, 'Mr. Know It All.' Let's hope 'What Doesn't Kill You' ends up being single number two!
Listen to Kelly Clarkson, 'Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)'

Critical Realism: The required philosophical compass for inclusion?
Burnett, Nicholas B. (2007) Critical Realism: The required philosophical compass for inclusion? In Australian Association of Research in Education : Research Impacts: Proving or improving?, 25 th - 29 th November, 2007, Fremantle, Western Australia. (Unpublished)
|PDF (147kB)
Although during recent years in the field of special education there has been much debate regarding inclusion and people's beliefs around disability, it is suggested that what has been lacking in many of the discussions is any coherent guiding philosophy that helps direct research in this area. The paper proposes that critical realism, developed by philosopher Roy Bhaskar, may provide such a framework and offers a philosophical 'compass' (Egbo, 2005) to researchers who want to be engaged in critical social scientific inquiry. The paper will briefly outline the main ontological and epistemological tenets of critical realism before exploring these in relation to the literature in the fields of disability, inclusion and special education. Finally it suggests that critical realism avoids many of the fallacies associated with educational research and could be seen as useful way forward in the debate around inclusion and propose where further research is required.

Why can't I see pictures in my yahoo email anymore?
User Help for Mozilla Firefox
29 posts • Page 2 of 2 • 1, 2
I just confirmed that it is Firefox with Yahoo email. IE loads the same Yahoo email with image attachment just fine whereas Firefox is not. Firefox was working until several days ago (today is 02/06/2007), so Yahoo must have updated how their servers are serving up attachments, as this rev of Firefox is:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:126.96.36.199) Gecko/20061206 Firefox/220.127.116.11
Would love a link to anything informative on this situation as it is not a figment of anyone's imagination for sure!
Please see the sticky post atop this forum.
I hate to burst your bubble greglynn, but I am encountering the same problem with Safari. I've been having a lot of problems with Yahoo since I downloaded FF 2, and today I can't even open my Yahoo mail account in Firefox (Yahoo keeps asking for my password, then rejecting it). So I opened it in Safari, and am looking at an email with many photos attached, the last two of which show only the tops of the photos. After reading many posts here and in other threads I had thought it was a Yahoo/Firefox compatibility problem, but now I am not so sure.
Back up my hard drive? How do I get it into reverse?
In Firefox, one temporary workaround that seemed to work in many cases was going forward from the message to another page and then using the back button; now that the images were cached, the Yahoo! script would resize the message area to show all of them. Does that work in Safari?
I have used Mozilla as my browser for quite a while and have not experienced this problem until recently. Suddenly I am not able to view any photos in Yahoo groups. The captions are there; the folders are there, but there are no images available. However, when I switch to Internet Explorer, I can access the photos just fine. I am able to view and download/upload photos as e-mail attachments. The problem is just with Yahoo groups. I am assuming it is not a Yahoo problem since viewing works fine in Explorer.
Anyone else experience this problem? Solutions?
I have the very same problem and it is not just yahoo mail it is all of my web based mail services. Yahoo, Gmail, hotmail display empty boxes where the photos should be. I never had any problems like this with Safari but have decided to use Firefox as my default browser. i surely hope someone knows how to correct this glitch.
Hi therealmagicdave. Try this: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_ani ... o_not_load
Edit: I see you started a different thread here. Please don't double-post.
Sorry, I reposted because I could not find the first post. None of the remedies seem to work for me. I don't know why either. I am pretty literate with these machines.
You can fix this problem by going to your email->mail options->spam protection->image blaocking and check the always show images option if you're using yahoo!
Hi, I have the same problem: Firefox doesn't display thumbnail of attached images in the e-mails. It is a problem of Firefox because IE displays them ok. Also It is a problem with Yahoo mail because other web mail programmes display the thumbnails.... So there is something that Firefox is not doing in Yahoo mail. Anybody discovered the problem? Thanks!
Hi bigart, did you try the steps in this article? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Images_or_animations_do_not_load
I am having the same problem with Firefox/Mozilla. I did an update on AVG the other day and have been having problems since. When I looked at downloads, there was a file type that said to block. The file type was d.yimg. I just unblocked it and now I am geting the photos back. Do yall have AVG??

July 2008
Nhat Thi Duy Nguyen from Vietnam
According to Nhat, "IESL prepared me
really well for the future. I was able to observe academic
classes and ask questions." This enabled Nhat to make an
informed decision about her major.
Nhat's initial intention was to study business
because that is what her parents wanted. However, she was so
impressed by the science faculty and their passion for teaching that
she decided to pursue Chemical Engineering. "My childhood dream was
to invent a perfume," said Nhat.
Nhat was involved in many campus activities. She
was the President of the Vietnamese Club, she participated in
science clubs, she worked in the International Programs office, and
she lived in Campus Corner Apartments.
Nhat was also accepted in to Colombia University,
UC Davis, UC San Diego, and the University of Colorado. Nhat
will be attending UC Berkeley in the fall of 2008.

Chinese home sales are picking up and prices across the country may have bottomed, as the government talks down activity in an attempt to ward off another property bubble.
Figures from the National Bureau of Statistics, published yesterday, showed prices in 43 of 70 cities across the country had fallen over the past year. The government did not publish the average decline, but a Reuters index estimated prices had fallen 1.5 per cent in the past 12 months.
The housing picture came as Chinese President
Mr Hu said Europe's debt crisis was "an issue of general concern" and the other G20 members should "encourage and support efforts made by Europe to resolve it and send a signal of confidence to the market". "Total global demand remains weak. Growth in major economies is sluggish," he warned, in an interview with the Mexican newspaper Reforma .
In turn, US and European leaders will be discussing China's economy at the G20 to determine how much it is slowing and how much of an effect Europe – China's biggest single export market – is having.
Soufun, a private real-estate statistics provider, estimates national house prices in China are down 2.2 per cent from their peak last August.
Such declines appear to have spurred buying activity across the country.
In the second-tier city of Hangzhou, outside Shanghai, there have been more transactions in the first 5½ months of the year than for all of 2011, according to the government-owned Shanghai Securities Journal.
In the eastern city of Nanjing, the newspaper said 11,000 people had inspected a new development offering 700 apartments for sale.
"We think property sales are a leading indicator and the underlying demand appears very strong," said ANZ's China economist Hao Zhou.
"Buyer activity would tend to indicate that house prices have bottomed."
The Bureau of Statistics said prices were flat in 21 of the 70 cities it surveyed and rose in six. It stressed the price rises for new apartments were no more than 0.2 per cent over the month.
The Chinese government has spent the past two years trying to engineer a soft landing for the property sector and is anxious to avoid the market over-heating again.
A front-page editorial yesterday in the official China Securities Journal said the property market was again reaching a critical stage and government restrictions needed to be maintained.
"The real-estate bubble could do long-term harm to the economy," it said.
"The government needs to guard against speculation returning after a pick-up in recent weeks in the number of transactions."
The government has come out in recent days and denied reports that a loosening of its property restrictions was imminent.
At the start of last year, the government said an individual could only own three properties. For those wanting to buy second and third properties, the required deposit was lifted as was the interest rate.
This followed double-digit monthly rises in cities like Shanghai and Beijing after the government injected 4 trillion yuan ($615 billion) into the economy after the 2008 global financial crisis.
While ANZ believes a pick-up in buyer activity indicates the property market may have bottomed, JP Morgan believes further falls can be expected.
"The central government has reiterated that property tightening will continue and house prices are still above reasonable levels," JP Morgan's chief China economist Haibin Zhu said in a note to clients.
"We maintain our view that house prices will decline by 5 per cent to 10 per cent this year at the national level."
Despite its restrictions the government does appear to be offering incentives to attract first home buyers into the market.
Recent media reports indicated that the People's Bank of China, the central bank, has drafted new guidelines allowing commercial banks to offer a 30 per cent discount on mortgage rates to first home buyers.

Wavewuver is correct. The manual states that this can happen. You are not the first person to complain about this so I don't think your vehicle has a unique problem. Many people have said they are not happy with the lights coming on often when full sun is present. I know there were a few people trying to figure out if there is something in the coding that could be changed to adjust the sensitivity.

The Illuminati are suspected of having an influence on practically every part of our lives from politics to religion and economy, technology, and even major world events. The Illuminati are a secret society closely linked to Freemasonry. Founded on the first of May, 1776 with only five initial members, the group discussed and philosophized about things that were generally thought of as taboo at that time period in France. Among the things that they looked at were the teachings of Voltaire, an anti-Christian who questioned politics and current philosophies. Under the leadership of Adam Weishaupt, codenamed Spartacus, the order never made progress. After a few years, however, much more prominent members joined such as Baron Adolph Knigge, Duke Ferdinand of Brunswick, and Duke Ernest of Gotha. This gained the Illuminati much popularity. However, on June 22, 1784, the French government issued a decree banning all secret societies from operating in France. This was brought about by the suspicion that the Illuminati were conspiring against the government and that they might have been behind the French Revolution. In 1906, a man by the name of Leopold Engel revived the Illuminati in Berlin, Germany. He did this under the instruction of Theodore Reuss, a man who had a place in just about every secret society in Europe at that time. After that, unfortunately, not much is known for sure about the history of the Illuminati.
Chances are that you've actually heard of them before. They play common roles in fiction that has a conspiracy twist to it. They've appeared in the books The Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, played a central part in the Deus Ex and Area-51 videogames, and been in quite a few movies, such as Tomb Raider. Also, you've almost certainly seen their mark, the All-Seeing Eye. It's an uncompleted pyramid underneath a giant, ominous eye. Every time you look at a dollar bill you see it. Could this be just a coincidence?
It is commonly believed by conspiracy theorists everywhere that the ultimate goal of the Illuminati is to create a New World Order. A world united by one government, one religion, one economic system under their power. There are actually quite a few organizations already in place that could definitely be helping to achieve this situation. One such organization is the United Nations. Because many people trust the U.N., it would be ideal for the Illuminati to use them as a middleman to implement their policies of a New World Order. To quote Encarta Encyclopedia, "Despite the challenges it faces, the UN will likely play an increasingly central role in international politics in the coming decades." As time goes by, the UN is becoming more and more important to the world. It is commonly believed in the theorist culture that once the U.N. gets too important, they're going to suggest uniting everyone under one central government, and because everyone loves them, the people will go along with it blindly. Yet another organization that may be in use by the Illuminati is the World Trade Organization. Another quote from Encarta Encyclopedia: "Since its creation, the WTO has attracted criticism from those concerned about free trade and economic globalization. Opponents of the WTO argue that it is too powerful because it can declare the laws and regulations of sovereign nations in violation of trade rules…" Some people fear this organization because they have the authority to completely alter a country's economic system and force it into their own rules and regulations.
From the very beginning of the order, they have been against most, if not all, mainstream religions. Some actually blame them for setting up the whole controversy over priests molesting children. Why would they do something hideous like that? The answer is simple: to discredit the Catholic Church. If the Illuminati have their own set religion, they could introduce it into the mainstream while people are still questioning the Catholics. Most information on the true religious intent of the Illuminati is just opinions and no hard evidence, but there are many rumors around their religious motives that range from apocalyptic cults to prophecies of a chosen one to rise up and rule the world.
In the economic world, the Illuminati are already hard at work. They supposedly own several major corporations from behind the scenes. One such corporation is the European Central Bank, which teamed up with the European Union a few years ago to create the Euro. The Euro is a newer form of currency that 11 major countries adopted. It's just one more agent of control, bringing the world under one economic system is likely soon to be completed, possibly within the next twenty years. The Illuminati also may have a hand in controlling the stock market flow. They keep the money flowing to wherever they want it to. The same would also be true for the general economy of every country in the world. The countries from which the Illuminati could gain are kept in a position to continue their growth and expansion, while nations that have seemingly no value, either now or in the future, are stopped from advancing altogether. Also, people that could potentially threaten the Illuminati's power are not given the means to financially support an armed rebellion against the New World Order. The Enlightened One's don't want to give their enemies the opportunity to delay their progressive takeover.
Through the decades when suspicion has once again risen against them, the Illuminati have always been associated with the idea of advanced technology that civilians have no clue about. Most people are content thinking that the military has advanced weaponry that they don't expose for whatever reason, but do people actually think about where those weapons and other equipment come from? If the government funded it normally, the records would be easily accessible for all to see. That's why secret projects may be funded out of the Illuminati's pockets. Another good question to ask would be, "Where is this technology made?" Area-51 is a possible answer to that question. Ever since it was first discovered, people have theorized about what's been going on in those structures. Once the public obtained satellite photos proving its existence, the government quickly acknowledged that it does exist, but that nothing out of the ordinary goes on there. When the facility was checked out, nothing was found. Why would there be so much controversy over something if not even a few of the rumors were true? It is thought that the Illuminati paid for, or conducted personally, the research that went on in Dreamland, as it is sometimes called, and had everything moved out to another location before anyone could find it. Yet another plausible explanation for finding nothing out of the ordinary is that we may not have been shown the entire base. It may be very well true that there is more than meets the satellite photographs, meaning the chance of there being some kind of underground structure or another location altogether that is used for things the Illuminati doesn't want advertised during the Super Bowl. Despite the highly restricted nature of the projects that took place in Area-51, some information has trickled through the cracks.
One such project is called "Aurora". Apparently, its purpose was to create a next-generation stealth fighter craft. Rather than conventional jet engines, which can be easily used to detect modern stealth planes, the Aurora was being designed with a completely new type of propulsion system. Some of the more fanatical theorists believe that it uses some kind of gravity altering technology discovered from the Roswell crash site. In any event, it would be obvious that the Illuminati would not want this advanced technology to fall into the hands of those who would oppose them, hence the secrecy surrounding it. Ironically enough, however, once there was actual evidence that there was a top-secret project dubbed "Aurora", even though its' purpose could not be proven; it was rumored to have been abandoned.
Echelon is something else rumored to have been, at the very least, thought up in the base. The details of Echelon are even sketchier than those of the Aurora project; however, its intent is widely agreed upon. The ultimate goal of Echelon is to be able to collect and monitor any and all electronic forms of information from anywhere in the world. Some think that this is an organization working under the wing of the Illuminati, collecting anything they want from email to phone calls, television programs, radio shows, and pretty much anything else that sends out a signal. While it is very possible for such an organization or group of top-notch computer geniuses to hack into your phone just to laugh at the three second silence before a telemarketer recording starts, many other people believe that the Illuminati created the world's most powerful computer to collect and interpret any form of electronic information that they'd like to keep their All-Seeing Eye on. Other than this, no one knows anything at all about Echelon, whether it was just a rumor, or if the project was altogether abandoned. Then again it's possible that it has already been completed, or, with President Bush's legalized eavesdropping act now in play, is hastily being worked on now that it has justifiable use.
It's possible for many of people to have heard of nanotechnology at least once in their lives, and they've definitely heard of cloning. The Illuminati are suspected of starting the initial research surrounding the technology behind them, and even today continue to make well guarded advancements. The idea behind nanotechnology is to create machines that can be implanted in the human body to do amazing things. Some of these machines store personal data for later use, others closely monitor functions and vital statistics of your body, some of them are being developed with the hope of being able to help regulate and keep your body running in an ideal state (Helping to keep a steady blood pressure for example). Some movies and videogames even depict this technology as being able to augment human abilities to extraordinary levels, which, if the technology becomes advanced enough, could be possible. Cloning is another thing that the Illuminati are believed to have a hand in, the only backing behind this belief being that almost everything that they are accused of being involved in has to do with advanced technology and scientific concepts, and the general belief in the existence of MiB agents. Yes, that stands for Men in Black, but these guys aren't Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones running around with laser guns and flashy-light-memory-erasy-type-things. People who have witnessed something that they really shouldn't have (i.e. an alien space craft, or an unidentifiable black helicopter taking off from Area-51 although it is restricted air space and the government swears there is nothing going on in there) often also claim that soon afterwards, they are visited by someone or a small group of people wearing black, offering them the choice of either being quiet about what they saw, or finally finding out whether or not God exists. They are described as being completely devoid of emotion, and most accounts of them have these agents looking and sounding exactly alike, almost like they were cloned. In addition to all of this, some people actually swear that they saw a tattoo of the All-Seeing Eye on these men, usually on the back of the neck or on the wrist. These muscle men are thought, by the conspiracy community, to do the Illuminati's dirty work.
It was mentioned before that this shadow organization is also thought to be responsible for the general state of the political world at any given time. Again, little to no evidence can be given to even begin to accurately speculate what exactly they've done or are doing, but many informed individuals have their own theories and ideas. Some sources also say that it's possible that the War on Terror was a rouse to throw the world off-balance while the Illuminati slip in and take a firmer hold on things, taking advantage of the confusion and chaos that has swept through almost every country in the world, which has been growing since the beginning of the new millennium. It's impossible to know exactly what to believe about the Illuminati primarily because of the lack of evidence pointing to, or discrediting, any given theory that one might discover.
Even after all of the information provided, it is very plausible to still retain the belief that there is no secret society Hell-bent on world domination, based on the very simple phrase that seems to have dominated these past few words: "there is little to no actual proof". However, wouldn't it be purely ignorant to blindly follow your president around without even questioning his motives? Is it really that far-fetched to think that someone is using the government as a scapegoat to hide their own agenda until it's too late? I believe that the Illuminati are very real today, and are working very hard at the expense of others just to fulfill their own lust for power, and I can only expect that after reading this, one will at least stop to think a moment before throwing complete trust away to those who claim to be working in the publics best interests.
This is what I know.

Hey guys,
Recently I've added an addition to my site; a javascript featured image slider / slideshow where it cycles and fades between a select amount of images.
Everything works great and it works in all browsers except for the dreaded IE :mad: The problem with IE is that the script doesn't work at first because it requests permission (the popup at the top) and the page doesn't work correctly until permission is granted. I was just wondering if there was some way to bypass this, as it is quite annoying, but not the end of the world.
The way to bypass that is to upload it to the web.
IE only applies that restriction to pages that are direct file references on your own computer - because there the script has access to your entire computer and not just the web page.
Oh, currently my site is just off my PC as I'm finishing it up, as soon as it's uploaded to a host this should be resolved?

Frankie Fenner - real meat merchants
Do you know where the lamb roast you'll be eating on Christmas Day - or your Boxing Day braai chops - comes from? Do you know what is in it? While ignorance may be bliss, it's neither good for us, nor does it have much flavour. Which is why Frankie Fenner Meat Merchants is such a welcome addition to Cape Town.
Although they haven't been open long, Frankie Fenner has already amassed quite a following. I'm not surprised. Everything is ethically-sourced; the lamb is 100% free-range, the beef is grass-fed, the pork is acorn-fed and the chickens pasture-reared. No hormones, no antibiotics, no abysmal factory farm conditions. "Proper meat" as they so succinctly put it. What all of this adds up to is superb quality and flavour.
It's not just about great meat, though. I like that I can pop online, see what's available and place an order. I really like that they offer gift vouchers. I know a few people who'd love one (including me). And I love the recipes on their website. Slow Roasted Asian Pork Belly with apple and chilli? Yes, please. Beer-braised Shin of Beef with Chorizo and Wet-Polenta? Without a doubt.
Frankie Fenner has also developed a range of products to complement the meat - confit garlic, pickled onions, mango atchar, pineapple salsa, old-school tomato sauce, to name a few - and in keeping with their ethos, the they'll be seasonal and additive free.
From January the cuts of the week will be updated every Monday, allowing you the opportunity to order throughout the week with collection the following Wednesday. The store will also be open from Monday to Saturday should you prefer to do your shopping in person.
The new year will also see a range of different products, including Jason Lilley's bacon brioche and chorizo muffins and some really excellent coffee. I can't think of a better way to start a work day.
Find Frankie Fenner Meat Merchants at Metal Lane, 8 Kloof Street, Cape Town, on Twitter, or via their website.
