Original Message
I was browsing around and came across this interesting 12/21/12 paper. I haven't seen it before, and thought I would post it because we are getting close to the 21st.
I am posting this because I thought it was interesting. It is not meant to rile up Believers or anything like that. I am posting it for fun.
The research connects the Roswell Event, Majestic 12, Freemasonry, the Rise of the Phoenix, the return of '
Sons of God
', The New World Order, the Secret Destiny of America, the return of Quetzalcoatl, and the return of the Supernatural King (messiah).
It starts saying that the Crash at Roswell of the UFO was not an accident. The extraterrestrial craft and alien bodies recovered were appointed to be assessed and examined by Majestic 12.
Then, it jumps to some information of Manly P Hall, and the destiny of America.
"Not only were many of the founders of the United States government Masons, but they received aid from a secret and august body existing in Europe
which helped them to establish this country for A PECULIAR AND PARTICULAR PURPOSE known only to the initiated few.
~ Manly P.Hall, The Secret Teachings of All Ages, pp. XC and XCI
"There exists in the world today, and has existed for thousands of years, a body of enlightened humans united in what might be termed,
an Order of the Quest.
It is composed of those whose intellectual and spiritual perceptions have revealed to them that
civilization has secret destiny.
"European mysticism was not dead at the time the United States of America was founded. The hand of the mysteries controlled in the establishment of the new government for the signature of the mysteries may still be seen on the Great Seal of the United States of America.
Careful analysis of the seal discloses a mass of occult and Masonic symbols chief among them, the so-called American eagle....
The American eagle upon the Great Seal is but a conventionalized phoenix
~ Manly P. Hall, The Secret Destiny of America
The word Phoenix is derived from the Greek word for "
". Phoenicians referred to themselves as
From the website:
The preeminence of the Phoenician / Sidonian knowledge in ancient civilization is a long guarded occult secret. But more important than the scientific influence of Sidonia, the
symbolic meaning of Manly Hall's Phoenix represents an age when mankind and extraterrestrials were believed to have lived on earth side by side.
Phoenicia was the land of descent of the "Sons of God" described in Genesis 6.
According to the history of every ancient culture in the Middle East, Phoenicia was the first place where beings from heaven came to the earth
...Manly P. Hall refers to this history when writing of the coming world order and the rise of the Phoenix. His understanding of the Phoenix is shared by illumined fraternal orders that have preserved the scattered "sacred" knowledge of the ancients.
They anticipate the rise of the Phoenix from the ashes of history. They wait for an age when knowledge will once again descend from heaven.
This secret has been hidden in their symbolism and numerology throughout history.
...33 and 3 are all featured prominently in occult doctrine. The great significance of the number 33 cannot be fully understood unless it is combined with the most important science of Free Masonry, navigation. The compass and square, the most visible symbols of Masonry are also the basic tools of navigation and map making...
As the navigator can use increments of the earth's latitude and longitude to determine location in space and time,
these increments can be measured in the earth itself to reveal the appointed time of humanity's destiny.
This is why the number 33 and the compass and square are such important symbols of the illumined elite.
33.33 degrees of the great circle of the earth represents
nautical miles.
Mount Hermon in Phoenicia, the first location of extraterrestrial influence with man, lies precisely at 33.33° north 33.33° east ... 2,012 miles from the equator and 2,012 miles from the prime meridian.*
...To be completely accurate, the number of nautical miles in 33.33 degrees of the earth is 2012 ".9"
This corresponds to the year and date that the ancient Mayans of middle America believed their calendar will end, December 21st, 2012. This is also the year their serpent god and founder of civilization, Quetzalcoatl, will return from heaven
...Finding a relationship between 2012 AD and the present age may be the critical way to resolve this question.
It makes more sense to qualify this future date with references left from the previous encounters of extraterrestrials with humanity. If the sons of God descended to Mt. Hermon with the intention of connecting 33.33 with 2012 navigationally, might they also have placed an additional marker coordinating the year 2012 with their return?
It appears they did. This is very probably the meaning of the Roswell event. It is a marker consisting of ancient, sacred numbers.
The impact area near Roswell lays
33° north latitude, at a distance 2,012 miles from the equator
...When the latitude of the impact site 33° north, is multiplied by the universal mathematical constant PI, (3.1415926572...)
the result is 104°, the longitude of the impact site. The only place on earth where 33° latitude and 104° longitude exist without lying in an ocean, as it does south of the equator, or an uninhabited mountain plateau as it does in the eastern hemisphere... is a few miles north west of Roswell, New Mexico, USA.
19.47° or "19.5" is a universal number signifying the meeting of a tetrahedron with a sphere. The Roswell message numerologically interconnects 19.47 with the date, latitude, longitude and distance from the equator of the impact event itself.
Ok, now we get into some number crunching.
The earth is 21,600 nautical miles around.
At Roswell, 19.47 appears in relationship between 21,600, 6,480 and 33.33
When the earth's circumference, 21,600 is divided by 33.33 the number 6,480 appears in a variation:
21,600 / 33.33 = 648.06480648064...
648.06480648064... divided by 19.47, the number suggested by the year of the Roswell crash itself (1947)... produces a modification of 33.33:
648.064806480 / 19.47 = 33.28
...Latitude 33.28°
This latitude, 33.28° multiplied by PI (3.141592653589...) results in a longitude 104.56° ...
pinpointing the exact coordinates of the disc impact site near Roswell NM.
Additionally the number 2012 can be calculated with a form of the number of the exact Roswell crash site latitude, 33.28° and the year of the Roswell event itself, 1947:
19.47 x 3.328 = 64.80
Between July 1947 and March 2012 there are 64.80 years.
It is significant that the United States recovered the debris and "alien" bodies of
the Roswell crash on the 4th of July 1947. America itself was founded on the same date in 1776.
This year was chosen by the occult elite behind the formation of America for a special reason.
888 is the sum of the letters in Greek of the name Jesus (each Greek letter represents a number). A second "messiah" (888) plus the first messiah (888) = 1776
America's founding date, 1776 is a number representing a 2nd messiah or the "king" of the World Order. It symbolizes the advent of a god man on earth.
According to Christian eschatology, the return of Jesus as king of the earth follows the appearance of his counterfeit. This false king will control humanity empowered by the same angelic rebels that ruled the earth before Noah entered the Ark. This concept has been around for a long time. It isn't so extraordinary that Roswell repeats it. The troubling aspect of the Roswell message is that it seems to predict that these events will occur, or begin to occur in 2012.
America's founding date, 1776 is a number representing a 2nd messiah or the "king" of the World Order. It symbolizes the advent of a god man on earth.
According to the illuminated elite, as the first messiah came to establish the Kingdom of Heaven, the second illuminated messiah will establish a New World under his rule.

Portugal. The Man
Outside Lands Video: Portugal. The Man
These guys are a favorite of the cool kids we share an office with at Spin Earth and now we know why. Portugal.The Man lived up to all their hype today and totally rocked out the Panhandle stage. Lead singer John Baldwin Gourley's haunting vocals and drummer Jason Sechrist's (who, we've gotta say it, looks way too much like Napoleon Dynamite) drum-cirlce-esque sessions were definitely enough to convince us to buy tickets to their more intimate show a few weeks from now (Sept 23) at The Independent. Check them out below.
Portugal. The Man's New Album: The Satanic Satanist Preview
An extremely thematic and well-thought-out album is about to hit stores near you, and we were lucky enough to preview it a few weeks in advance. We're talking about the much-anticipated album of up-and-comers (and personal favorites), Portugal. The Man. While their third album, Censored Colors, knocked them through into super-fame, the forthcoming fourth record, The Satanic Satanist, shows a side of Portugal the public has yet to see. Perhaps a more massively appealing album with its vocal-centric and decidedly uncomplicated musical arrangements, what remains inside is a deep potential for what's next and even more so, the very obvious fact that Portugal. The Man has and always will be a stellar live band that doesn't entirely translate to record.
Portugal. The Man Dominates du Nord
And that's an understatement. Easily the best performance of Noise Pop 2009, Portugal. The Man delivered nearly a 2-hour set cruising through almost the entirety of Censored Colors and even a few previews from their upcoming album.
Lead singer John Gourley and bassist Zachary Carothers played a good portion of the show with their backs to the crowd (we can't help but wonder if John's slight stage fright had something to do with this). Nonetheless, the performance was somewhat reminiscent of Jim Morrison in his early days - no talking, no frills, no direct connection with the crowd, but somehow one of the most solid and touching sets that we've ever seen.
Portugal. The Man on Being Star Struck by Other Band Members
Recording an album a year clearly isn't enough for these Portland-based fellas. After recording and writing all 15 songs on Censored Colors (their September 2008 release) in 15 days, Portugal. The Man just finished another 3-week stint recording their latest album in Boston (still unnamed and without a release date). Those loveable boys originally from Wasilla, Alaska have been on tour for nearly three years straight (nearly 300 shows a year) and recording albums on their few weeks off a year, but after Alternative Press named lead singer John Gourley the "Best Vocalist of 2008," they began blowing up in the press and we can't say they don't deserve it. With people like Paul Q.

ZAAKUA chapter 3ZAAKUAZAAKUA chapter 3 by narucloud2
Chapter three
The morning sun had begun to rise on the rural county of Caroline. The shops and offices had begun to stir with activity on this crisp Monday morning. Ethan began to step out of his house, holding his large black pit bull by his side with its leash. He walked down the street and allowed his dog to finish its business on a large section of shrubbery, while watching a group of morning joggers run down the opposite side of the road.
"Getting a little on the perverted side aren't we?" a voice from behind him said. He snapped around to see Dillon, who was in the middle of his own morning jog. "Bet you wish I was rocking those skimpy shorts too, huh?" The two laughed and shook hands as Ethan's dog began barking. "Aww sorry there Spot, didn't mean to ignore you" Dillon said, kneeling down to pet the dog.
"Pretty nice day today, huh?" Ethan asked, watching the leaves blow around in the wind.

Eric woke the next morning to a text message from Jadrien. It read:
"Bro, when you wake up, check your email. I sent you the list of people that are really into the whole zombie apocalypse bid and I think we could have some real fun with this. I talked to Ethan about it and he agrees the three of us should admin the group. Text me when you read the list so we can agree on who to invite."
Eric rubbed his eyes and checked his alarm clock. It read 11:30. "Well I'm already late for class, might as well check it out," he thought. He clambered out of bed and went to his laptop. He read the list to himself: Jazmyn Parker, Robbie Parker, Dillon Robinson, Sarah Mack, Alisha Taylor, and Derek Burkholder, admins- Jadrien Roberts, Eric Allen, and Ethan Peake. Feel free to invite anyone else you know."
Eric texted Jadrien that all of the names he had mentioned were good, and that he would keep an ear out for anyone else interested.

"Jadrien Roberts wants to video chat? I guess." He said to himself. He hit the video button and watched as his best friend appeared on screen.
"How's life on the East coast bro?" Jadrien asked.
"Same shit, different day. How's life in California?"
"Boring. I can't find a job, and that saying about how great and sexy Californian women are is a boldface lie." The two laughed as they continued to reacquaint themselves with each other's life. Jadrien stopped for a moment, appearing to be deep in thought. "So, I know we all know that

"This rain hasn't let up in weeks, I need to find it soon" Solus was young, only 18 years old, he had brown hair and his favorite jacket on, it was black with a red scythe on the back that read "veritas" under it. Solus was a reserved person, not liking contact with others, he would rather his actions speak for him. Solus was scanning for a demon on top of a dorm building on his campus, his eyes widened,
"found you" he jumped of the building and fell into a roll and continued to run towards the presence he had felt, another 18 year old, a girl named Amicus was almost ran over by Solus' rolling jump,
"Hey! Watch it, will you?" she yelled, but Solus didn't hear, he kept running towards his target,
"Hey, I'm talking to you!" the girl ran after him to get a proper apology.

After some quiet weeks, Qassam rocket lands south of Ashkelon Saturday evening

"I believe that as long as we don't have an agreement with the Palestinians, the rocket fire will continue," he said.
On Monday, the first hearing will be held on a petition filed by the Ashkelon city hall and parents of students in respect to the fortification of schools in the city. At this time, the State refuses to fund the fortification project.
The petitioners claim that the deputy defense minister promised to finance the venture, but that later Defense Minister Ehud Barak went back on the promise.
For the time being, the Ashkelon student council launched a protest and is fundraising at city malls in order to secure the money needed to purchase mobile fortifications.

So basically, it's 'targeted advertising'. Only for content. Only it'll probably still end up mostly used for advertising.
Mozilla ponders blinkers for your browser
Mozilla Labs has outlined an experiment it's conducting in improving the personalisation web publishers can offer readers who browse their sites using Firefox. The outfit says it's been working on the idea since last year, when it "conducted a series of experiments in which a user's browsing history could be matched with …
Done properly, it might actually be quite good. I recall reading a science fiction book ages ago which mentioned something similar - the subscribers "news service" gave them stories about topics they were interested in and a smattering of other stuff that they might be interested in, rather than present them with everything.
Strange as it may seem, the Daily Mail might be a good place to implement it as their stories can easily be categorised/tagged:
Kardashian clan
Royal Baby (admittedly only recently)
Various celebs being "brave" by not putting on makeup
Nature photography (usually excellent, btw)
Helen Flannagan's boobies
Couple it with the ability to "downvote" topics so that as they keep getting presented to you, you can make it less likely that this topic is presented to you again.
At least in this way the targeting is giving me something I want. With ads I never want to click on any of them, irrespective of the targeting (which is why I use Ad-Block & Ghostery).
In Arthur C Clarke's "The Fountains of Paradise" he mentions a news service like you mention.
Apparently some people would set up spoof search terms like "Circle - Squaring Of" or even "World - End Of"!
See http://www.e-book2u.org/sf/Clarke08/30299.html for details :-)
Re: @JetSetJim
That's the one - ta, it was bugging me
The problem with this kind of idea is that you eventually get herded into a dead end when it narrows down your interests. I prefer the serendipitous nature of random online discoveries.
Re: No
I agree, targeted advertising never seems to address what I'm interested in. Take Amazon for example, they seem to target me with products that I have.
Though if you are into weird ads http://tinyurl.com/nqm7u6u
Re: No
It used to be the case that Amazon had a reasonable recommendation system that actually produced useful results for 'people who liked x also liked y' type queries. Unfortunately, as time goes on the system has 'overtrained' somewhat and narrows everything down into tiny little closed graphs... people who like musician 'x' are now only recommended to buy everything else by 'x', and so on.
Gathering more information (as Mozilla is offering here) won't help much if you can't use it effectively, and so far there's precious little evidence that anyone can.
Re: No
Agreed, I prefer to be able to find stuff by accident. That said, some recommendation systems (such as Google's YouTube algorithms) are superb. Not the kind of thing you can likely replicate in a browser though.
Fortunately, this is Mozzy, so there'll be an off switch.

"targeted advertising never seems to address what I'm interested in"
Around xmas of 2011 my kitchen sink/tap broke. While I was waiting for the landlord to get someone in to fix I idly looked up what was involved to fix it, taking around 25 minutes over a couple of sites. As far as I can remember I have never looked up similar things before or since.
I still get tons of ads for kitchen hardware and spares 18 months later.
Re: No
No, the main problem is that you are unconditionally giving the website information, in the hope that they *may* use that information to better serve you, rather than themselves.
Care to guess whose interests they'll look after first?
How often do you go into a shop and tell them exactly what the best price another shop was prepared to offer you, *before* you've asked what *their* best price is? Never, because that puts the shop in the position of knowing more than you. If they were going to offer it £20 cheaper they can now offer it £10 cheaper and still get the sale. The information you just gave them cost you £10.
Well this is the browser equivalent. You're telling every retail website what price you've seen elsewhere before they present their price.

Re: God bless his little Royal Highness!
The real question is why would they bother reading the words of someone who can't coherently form a sentence, and who thinks Britain would be better served by "President Blair" / "President Cameron" / "President Clegg" <- That one is so good :-D
What about "President Prescot" / "President Gove" / "President Osbourne" / "President Harman"... Can you imagine? ... OR How about the Dark Lord himself "President Mandelson"
Our Monarchy may not be perfect, but the alternatives all look amazingly bad.

I'm waiting on the publication of the "black spider memos" before I evaluate that assertion.

I hear this rather odd objection every time I argue with someone over the royals. Are you allergic to the word "president" or something? Does it physically hurt you to read it? Why not, then, keep on calling them a Prime Minister, and just ditch the pointless monarchy part?

Nope none of that, just an observation about someone who creates sentences such as the following:

We do a Jury service one on it - you get called up you do the job - and like jury service if you have any power beyond being a citizen you wriggle out of it and good bloody riddance.

Yes I propose we start by calling up Nick Griffin. Then maybe you can have your turn?
Re: God bless his little Royal Highness!
Amazingly bad the alternatives may be, but they are at least temporary and not entitled to huge amounts of cash at our expense. You can bow and scrape as much as you want. I'd like to live in a free and fair society where anyone can aspire to the top of the social pyramid.

It's worse than that if you're a subscriber. They increases everyone's charges last year, so they could fund a campaign to repeatedly send you junk mail trying to get you to buy a mobile from them.
And their on-demand TV service only works about 60% of the time. And the majority of channels you pay through the nose for are full of adverts and you don't want them anyway.

Yeah.... My browsing history doesn't really cover categories like that. Who knows what kind of stuff it would recommend with El Reg in my browsing history.
You click on one dodgy video on YouTube and suddenly you're getting all sorts of crap "Recommended for you" that you don't want. I fully expect this technology to function in the same way.
Re: Browsing history
Sorry, thought you said "doggy video"...
Re: Browsing history
We see that you're interested in doggy videos. We think you'll also like the following:
- cat videos
- more cat videos
- dogging videos
This might just turn out be the ruination of the Internet.
If you listen to an all request afternoon show on one of the ultra-bland "local" radio stations (that somehow manage all to sound the same wherever you go) you will quickly become bored. But if you listen to Six Music (assuming you can get a digital signal), they actually play interesting stuff. I might not like every single record they play, but the bad ones make the good ones sound better.
Most of the fun of the Internet is discovering stuff by accident that you didn't know you were looking for. Trying to second-guess users like this is going to remove this. Still, if it gets people away from their computers and out into the big blue room, it might not be such a bad thing, really .....
There was an argument against the sites like wikipedia that they weren't as good as a paper encyclopaedia because you'd always find exactly what you were after straight away, with none of the serendipitous stuff you find while flicking through a book.
Of course we now know that you find all kinds of odd stuff while looking for something else entirely, following obscure links all over the place and can waste hours doing it. Often mind bleach is required afterwards.
Having a browser tell a site what you are interested in might well highlight what you are interested in - but on the down side how would I know what I'm not being shown? As an extreme example, all I'd be shown is more of what I already know. Fine for Daily Mail readers, but some of us like to be told new things.
Google does this already - my search results could be different from yours with the same search terms based on past searches. It's useful, but could just reinforce my prejudices. (Except that I don't log in to Google and use Duck-Duck-Go anyway).
My browsing history is mine. Not intended for some random website to peruse should they so choose.
As has been already said in comments before this one, targeted advertising is crap and about the only useful is the non-targeted which can on occasion lead you to find something interesting. Although I suspect many use Adblock anyway.
And as for the example on sports, I'm sure people will be delighted if the system blats out a score to a game they have yet to watch (which normally they would be able to avoid from happening).
So, in effect, Mozilla want to do in the browser something similar to what Google are doing in the search results: Tailoring what you see based on what you've already seen.
Well, the Google problem is solved by not letting Google store cookies on your computer (and remaining logged out of any of their services unless logging in is necessary). And/or by using another search provider.
So the equivalent solution for FurryFox will answer this quote from the article:
"Some publishers have already pressed the API for this kind of thing into service, according to the Mozilla Blog, but the code is not in the wild and is being tested – technically and conceptually – as Mozilla figures out how people will react to websites that dynamically change content based on readers' past behaviours."
The way I'll react will be to prevent my browsing history from being saved. And/or use another web browser.
It's almost as if these companies want to drive people away from using them.
<paranoid> Or maybe they're just trying to drive me away from using them. Which is probably sensible, if truth be told.</paranoid>
<h1 id='no'> Fuck No ! </h1>
<script> var h1=document.getElementById('no');
And people get upset about the NSA!
Oh, goody! A personalized spy experience! Believe it or not, this stuff is already done using cookies and web bugs and such. I like running with as much snoop-disrupting plugins as I can so I don't have the experience of momentarily browsing a particular site, and ads for that site's products keep following me. I hate that.
It's bad when it's done by the government, and it's bad when it's done by the private sector. This includes you, Mozilla!
Its not for us
I'd wager that the people who read El Reg are awfully good at bending technology to our will. In this instance, quickly and accurately slurping whatever content from the internet that suits our needs or desires. This isn't for us. I image that what Mozilla is working on will make it a little easier for everyone else - for the people who aren't as good at navigating the endless sea of stuff on the internet - to find what they're looking for.
For us, well, either Mozilla provides an option to turn this behaviour off or there will be an addon which does so within hours. I don't see the harm in something that helps others while costing us nothing.
I was ready to complain
that this is just the web 2.0 filter bubble ramped up to 11 and then I was offered the delicious prospect of never having to read about the doings of the Windsor clan again. Add to the list anyone who's ever appeared on reality tv and I'm sold.
Re: I was ready to complain
Don't forget to add reality TV itself to your list.

Midday Roundup: Kansas shooting targets Jews, kills Christians
Hate crime. The man accused of a shooting attack at a Jewish community center and Jewish retirement complex near Kansas City is a known white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader. Frazier Glenn Cross, 73, of Aurora, Mo., is charged with first-degree murder in the deaths of three people in Sunday's attack in Overland Park, Kan. SITE, a U.S.-based terror monitoring group, described the suspect as a known and vocal anti-Semite who frequently calls for genocide against Jews. The family of the first two victims, who were Christians, released a statement identifying them as William Lewis Corporon and his 14-year-old grandson Reat Griffin Underwood, who was at the center to audition for a local talent show. "We take comfort knowing they are together in heaven," the family said, while asking for privacy to mourn. The third victim has been identified as 53-year-old occupational therapist Terri LaManno, a Catholic who was visiting her mother at the retirement complex near the community center.
Security alert. In the aftermath of the shootings in Kansas City, synagogues are stepping up security across the country as they prepare to commemorate Passover, which begins today at sundown. In New York City, home to 1.5 million Jews, Mayor Bill de Blasio said police would have a heightened presence around temples and Jewish neighborhoods, WPIX-TV reported. Police in Nassau County on Long Island will increase patrols, as well.
Presidential prayer. President Barack Obama remembered the Kansas City victims this morning at an Easter prayer breakfast at the White House. "As Americans, we not only need to open our hearts to the families of the victims, we've got to stand united against this kind of terrible violence, which has no place in our society," Obama said. "We have to keep coming together, across faiths to combat the ignorance and the intolerance, including anti-Semitism that can lead to hate groups and violence because we are all children of God." Obama started the annual Easter breakfast in 2010. At the end of this year's event, the president called on Gene Robinson, The Episcopal Church's first openly gay bishop, to pray. From his Twitter account, Robinson posted, "POTUS 'preaches' at the Easter prayer breakfast. Then, out of the blue, asks ME to close with prayer. OMG!"
Into the deep. Search crews sent a robotic submarine deep into the Indian Ocean today to begin scouring the seabed for Flight 370, the missing Malaysian airliner. After six days of trying, crews have not detected any further signals believed to be from the plane's black boxes. The unmanned underwater vehicle, the Bluefin 21, can create a three-dimensional sonar map of any debris on the ocean floor. But search officials warned the public to be realistic about the challenges facing search crews in the extremely remote, deep patch of ocean—an area one official called "new to man." Meanwhile, officials are investigating an oil slick about 3.4 miles from the area where the last underwater "pings" were detected. Crews have collected an oil sample and are sending it to Australia for analysis, a process that will take several days.

Penn scored a go ahead run in the top of the seventh inning. The Bulldogs responded in the bottom half of the inning when Paine scored the tying run.

Esparza struck out 10 batters on the day.
The Bulldogs will play six more games in Florida before returning home for a double header against Morehead State at the Butler Softball Field on March 16.

I'm in need of a two-way encryption solution for Ruby, such as Blowfish, Rijndael (AES) or other. The problem, however, is that I can't find an appropriate gem for it. I would like for the library to support several different encryption algorithms so I can compare the performance of each for optimal integration i my application. I would also like it to be open source.
I came across Crypt, but it doesn't install properly and doesn't look like it's been updated in a while. EzCrypto won't install, either. I also saw ruby-aes, but that only supports Rijndael.
After some GitHub searching, I found Encryptor, which seems to be something like what I'm looking for. However, I'd love to get some ideas about any gems/libraries I might have missed.
Thanks in advance!

Epiphone Special-II GT
Rating: with no reviews yet. Be the first to review!
Description: Epiphone Special-II GTEDIT
From the Manufacturer
Epiphone's top-selling Special-II gets Revved UP! Since it's introduction almost 20 years ago, The Special-II has met the needs of countless musicians with it's combination of Les Paul features, great tone and affordability. Now, Epiphone puts a new twist on this classic with the NEW Special-II GT. Like the Special-II, this is a full-on, in your face rockin' machine with all the same features (and more!) that you've come to expect from Epiphone. High-Out Ceramic Pickups: Providing the sizzle and snarl that you can only get from humbuckers is a 650R (neck) and 700T (bridge) pickup combo. You'll be amazed how these U.S.A. designed pickups with their high-output magnets add more highs with increased definition and no muddiness. Slightly over-wound, the hotter 700T bridge pickup is smooth but can give you a little extra scream or growl when you need it while never losing its rich combination of enhanced lows and crystal clear highs. Cool New Electronics: Always an innovator, Epiphone has equipped the GT with a patent-applied-for combination Master Tone and Kill Switch. Operating just like an ordinary tone pot, if you push or "tap" it down it acts as a KILL switch muting all output signal and creating a cool effect (think Buckethead!) when combined with distortion. Is that a WHAMMY bar? Yes it is! Epiphone has equipped the new GT with a vintage style tremolo what allows you to bend strings and chords with ease. Typically not found on Les Paul guitar, this combined with the kill-switch, this guitar can create amazing effects – all at a price that won't break your budget. The Whole GT Package: Other features include a tapered heel for more comfortable access in the upper frets, Epiphone's patent-applied-for LockTone™ tune-o-matic/stopbar combination for re-stringing ease and increased sustain and of course, their Limited Lifetime Warranty with 24/7/365 Customer Service. Top it all off with a Rosewood fingerboard upgraded with pearloid parallelogram inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets. With this GT's singlecutaway design and a contoured, recessed bolt neck, all 22 of those frets are easy to access and it's SlimTaper™ neck profile make it comfortable and fast. Wrap it all up in a thin "worn" black finish that feels vintage all with a price tag that any guitarist can afford and you've got a NEW Epiphone classic made just for you!

GOP-dominated Texas backs Romney, Cruz
DALLAS (AP) — Texas voters made Ted Cruz the state's first Hispanic U.S. senator but their overwhelming support for fellow Republican Mitt Romney wasn't enough to keep Democratic President Barack Obama from winning re-election to a second term.
The GOP dominance at the top of the Texas ticket was no surprise. Democrats haven't won statewide office in Texas since 1994, the longest state losing streak for the party in the country.
Romney won Texas' 38 electoral votes by building a nearly 3-2 margin lead over Obama but lost the overall prize.
In the balloting to succeed retiring U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison, Cruz similarly topped underfunded former Democratic state Rep. Paul Sadler. Cruz was virtually unknown as a former state solicitor general before he used tea party backing to emerge from a crowded GOP primary field as runner-up to Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, then swept by the mainstream party choice in the runoff to clinch the Republican nomination.
In congressional races, Texas is getting four new representatives thanks to adding 4.3 million residents between 2000 and 2010, bringing the delegation count to 36. Republicans took 22 seats Tuesday and Democrats captured 14, highlighted by state Rep. Pete Gallego's narrow ouster of freshman Republican Francisco "Quico" Canseco in a sprawling district stretching from San Antonio to eastern El Paso County.
In another high-profile contest, Republican state Rep. Randy Weber slipped by former Democratic Congressman Nick Lampson in the Gulf Coast district being vacated by retiring Republican Ron Paul.
In the Legislature, Republicans lost the 102-vote supermajority in the House that had allowed them to pass legislation even if their Democratic colleagues failed to show up for work, but still maintained their grip on the chamber.
And in the state Senate, an expensive and increasingly nasty battle ended with Fort Worth Democratic Sen. Wendy Davis taking a narrow victory over challenger and tea party Republican state Rep. Mark Shelton. Davis' triumph leaves Republicans with a 19-12 advantage. Under the Senate's traditional rules, a bill needs 21 votes to make it to the floor for debate, and Republicans were fighting for every possible seat to achieve a supermajority that can suspend the rules.
Among the Senate winners was Democrat Mario Gallegos, Jr., an incumbent from Houston who died in October of liver failure. A special election will be held to fill his seat.
Cruz told supporters in Houston if Obama followed through on campaign promises to bring people together to reduce the deficit and get people working, "then I will work with him."
But Cruz said if Obama did not, "then I will spend every waking moment to stop it."
"My pledge to you is to work every single day in the U.S. Senate to champion small business and entrepreneurs and help them do what they do best, create jobs and get America working again," he said.
Sadler said he called Cruz to congratulate him.
"It's worth the fight, our state is worth the fight, our country is worth the fight," Sadler said of his long-shot campaign. "We expanded the debate and made people think maybe about issues a little deeper."
Voters waited at least 30 minutes at some Texas precincts earlier in the day although state officials predicted overall turnout likely would be below levels of four years ago.
"I don't think you should take money from people just because they are successful," said Bob Ramey, 61, an El Paso accountant, explaining why he couldn't vote for Obama, who advocates higher taxes for wealthier Americans.
But Ben Hernandez, 59, who owns a construction company with his wife in League City outside Houston, credited the president with a good job in his first term and deserving of their votes.
"He did what he had to do," Mary Sue Hernandez, 52, said. "He came in at the toughest time and he did well."
A tight race unfolded in a sprawling congressional district stretching from San Antonio to eastern El Paso County, where freshman Republican U.S. Rep. Francisco "Quico" Canseco and Democratic state Rep. Pete Gallego swapped slim leads.
And in the election for the seat Republican Ron Paul is leaving along the Gulf Coast, Republican state Rep. Randy Weber narrowly defeated former Democratic Congressman Nick Lampson.
In the winners with surprising backgrounds was Republican former U.S. Rep. Steve Stockman, who served one term in Congress starting in 1994 but accused the government of "executing" members of the Branch Davidian cult after the siege near Waco. He was headed back to Capitol Hill after waging a low-profile campaign in a district north and east of Houston.
Beto O'Rourke also was going to Congress for the first time from heavily Democratic District 16. He is a guitar-playing, twice-arrested former El Paso city councilman who once advocated for legalizing marijuana but nonetheless stunned eight-term incumbent Silvestre Reyes during the Democratic primary.
All 15 of the Texas Board of Education's seats were also on the ballot. Ten Republicans won and five seats went to Democrats, including Martha Dominguez's victory over GOP incumbent Carlos "Charlie" Garza in an El Paso-area region. Still unresolved, however, is whether social conservatives gained more influence.
Among statewide court races, Republican Sharon Keller won a fourth six-year term as presiding judge of the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. Keller gained notoriety in 2007 for closing the state's highest criminal court precisely at 5 p.m., barring a final-hour appeal from a death row inmate who was executed that evening.

An excerpt from www.HouseOfNames.com archives copyright © 2000 - 2016
The ancestors of the Fairbairn family lived among the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. Fairbairn was a name given to a person with attractive, youthful looks, or someone who was noted as having been a beautiful child. The surname Fairbairn is derived from the Old English words fair, which means lovely, and bearn, which means child. However, the name Fairbairn may also be a local surname applied to someone from the settlement of Fairbourne in Kent or Fairburn in the West Riding of Yorkshire. In this case, Fairbairn belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.
The surname Fairbairn was first found in North Yorkshire at Fairburn, a small village and civil parish in the Selby district that dates back to before the Domesday Book when it was listed as Fareburne c. 1030. A few years later in 1086, the Domesday Book lists the placename as Fareburne [1] and literally meant "stream where ferns grow," having derived from the Old English fearn + burna. [2]
Fairbairn has been spelled many different ways, including Before English spelling became standardized over the last few hundred years, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. As the English language changed in the Middle Ages, absorbing pieces of Latin and French, as well as other languages, the spelling of people's names also changed considerably, even over a single lifetime. Fairbairn, Fairbairns, Fairbarn, Fairborn, Fairborne and many more.
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Fairbairn research. Another 331 words (24 lines of text) covering the years 1297, 1327, 1644 and 1680 are included under the topic Early Fairbairn History in all our PDF Extended History products.

In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Fairbairns to arrive on North American shores:
Fairbairn Settlers in United States in the 19th Century
Fairbairn Settlers in United States in the 20th Century
Fairbairn Settlers in Australia in the 19th Century
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Nec cede arduis
Motto Translation: Not high yield

The Fairbairn Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Fairbairn Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname.

'68 Classmates Having a Big Impact
Vancouver, B.C., Canada - Mike Gallagher and Lee Grogg are classmates from 1968. Both have made a career in very different fields, but both have had significant impact in their chosen fields.
Gallagher is the President and Chief Operating Officer for Westport Innovations in Vancouver. The company is doing fascinating research and production in the area of heavy engines. They're working with Cummins to produce large vehicle engines which run on natural gas instead of diesel. The benefits are lower cost and lower emissions.
The company seems to have an unlimited future. They are looking for new ventures all the time. They have a deal now with Kenwood to build trucks to try to increase their fleet. The Cummins partnership even includes offices in the Westport headquarters near the Vancouver airport.
I toured the research lab where they test the engines. It was interesting to see how the natural gas fuels the Cummins engine. The modifications are rather small, but certainly not simple. A†very small amount of diesel is used with the modified trucks to allow the natural gas to fire the engine.
Gallagher's office is simple but with a beautiful view of the river running along the airport and the mountains in the distance. It's decorated with photos of family and pictures of Mike receiving many of the awards Westport has garnered the last few years.
The world is watching Westport's work. China is already a customer. The company wants to increase the size of the fleet to lower production costs, then the future is almost unlimited with large engines.
Grogg spent most of his career in northern Indiana and building a small community health center to a major social service agency in the Portage region.
He's now the Executive Director of the Ryther Child Center on Seattle's north side. The center is a residential†home for children. Many have mental health issues, have been abandoned, or abused.
Lee gave me a walking tour of the small campus. They deal with younger children mostly, with the exception of one program for teen boys.
He visits a cottage a month to hear directly from the residents and hear their concerns. He instituted programs to give the kids a chance at plenty of physical activity.
The center was started over 100 years ago by a women's group as an orphanage. Today they are serving Seattle's children with Lee's compassionate leadership making a difference in many lives.

By: Authors Posted: June 15 2010 8:06 PM 0 If you thought the BP oil debacle couldn't get any worse, brace yourself. A government panel of scientists provided a new estimate for the amount of oil gushing from the ruptured well in the Gulf of Mexico that indicates it could be leaking between 1.47 to 2.52 million gallons of crude a day. These figures are more in line with what independent scientists have predicted. We're sure this is just what President Obama wanted to hear just before his press conference explaining how the Gulf Coast is going to be better than it was before the oil spill.

Can a solicitor win me back custody of my child against social services word if we have good enough reason?
I'd think so, but you'd be better off asking a solicitor after giving him/her all the facts
They can't "win" back the custody, that's up to Child Welfare. However, it would help for you to be represented by consule to guid you. Get someone who specializes in child welfare.
First thing you need to do is to change the way you talk. SERIOUSLY !

You do not "WIN" back custody, like it is a game.

The lawyers / Solicitor for Social Services will pick up on that quickly and play it against you.

You want to have "your child returned to you where your child belongs."

And now to answer your question.

Yes, it is possible if the Judge is not playing the political game.
In matters like this they may go for the "politically correct" side of things rather than the lawfully correct. Either way is at the discretion of the judge. They can follow the guide lines or do their own thing.
Just as some kids have been made to wear a sign saying they stole something rather than go to jail.
Whats the reason? They are an impartial judge that go by things like a place too live, job, not on drugs, support group, child in danger... list is endless
I am just showing possible reasons on why a child can be taken. Peoples actions can dramatically affect those ideals :)
its usually drug addicts/alchoholics,have their kids removed,for obvious reasons,and they usually get them back ,im neither,they kidnapped my daughter for no reason,kept her a year,and refuse to let her go for fear i will sue/claim compensation.without her,i cant do a thing.its cost taxpayers thousands of pounds,its a disgrace.the judges magistrates and all in family court lie and stick together,they have no interest in children,or the truth,they all know their part,to play,to stitch up innocent parents,there are no policeofficers in court,if you walk out nobody will stop you,its just a pantomime,its a disgrace

An article published on 13 October 2008 by the Association for Reflection and Information on Burundi (Association de réflexion et d'information sur le Burundi, ARIB), a non-profit association founded in Belgium in 1995 (ARIB n.d.), stated that the 13 October 1961 killing of Prince Louis Rwagasore, Prime Minister and eldest son of King Mwambusta IV Bangiricenge, precipitated the fall of the monarchy. According to a report on the United Nations (UN) International Commission of Inquiry on Burundi, the monarchy was overthrown in 1966 following a military coup orchestrated by Michel Micombero with the support of Tutsis (UN 23 July 1996). An article published on 29 April 2003 by the Umuco News Agency (UNA) indicates that Charles Ndizeye (Ntare V), the last king of Burundi, was betrayed by the Ugandan government and killed on 29 April 1972 in Gitega by the Burundian authorities, who are responsible for the disappearance of his corpse.
During a telephone interview with the Research Directorate on 5 May 2009, a representative of the UN Integrated Office in Burundi (Bureau intégré des Nations Unies au Burundi, BINUB) stated that the royal family has asked authorities, through Member of Parliament Rosa Paula Iribagiza Mwambusta, to investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of the last king of Burundi, to organize a state funeral in his honour and to give special treatment to the family members of former leaders (UN 5 May 2009; see also Renaissance FM/Bonesha FM 27 Feb. 2009 and RTNB 30 Apr. 2009), because, since his death, [translation] "none of the succeeding governments ... has made any effort to find his remains and give him a dignified burial" (Renaissance FM/Bonesha FM 27 Feb. 2009). With regard to the repatriation of the remains of King Mwambusta IV, who died in exile in Switzerland in 1976, the Burundian authorities reportedly consider that the matter [translation] "is not a priority" (ARIB 13 Oct. 2009).
During a telephone interview with the Research Directorate on 3 May 2009, the project manager for the Burundian Human Rights League (Ligue burundaise des droits de l'homme ITEKA, Ligue ITEKA) stated that his organization has never heard of a situation in which a person was subjected to any particular treatment by the Hutu or Tutsi authorities merely because he or she was a monarchist. Moreover, the Representative from Ligue ITEKA indicated that, although certain Baganwa express some nostalgia for the times of the monarchy, the country's current political context forces them to choose between the party in power and the opposition (Ligue ITEKA 3 May 2009).
However, according to some sources, Princess Esther Kamatari, King Mwambusta's niece (Afrik.com 18 Jan. 2005), reportedly received death threats after she announced her candidacy for the 2005 presidential elections in Burundi (Telegraph.co.uk 7 Nov. 2004; see also Histoire de l'Afrique n.d.). In addition, Princess Esther Kamatari stated in an article published on 22 August 2005 by the UNA that Prince Godefroid Kamatari, her older brother (The Independent 23 Oct. 2004), had died in Kigali under unexplained circumstances. Information on the authors of the death threats made against Princess Esther Kamatari during the 2005 election campaign or on the circumstances surrounding the death of Prince Godefroid Kamatari could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate. Additional information on the treatment of the Baganwa by the Tutsi or Hutu authorities could not be found among the sources consulted by the Research Directorate.

TAPS / Remember our troops
If any of you have ever been to a military funeral in which taps were played; this brings out a new meaning of it.
Here is something Every American should know. Until I read this, I didn't know, but I checked it out and it's true:
We in the United States have all heard the haunting song, 'Taps'. It's the song that gives us that lump in our throats and usually tears in our eyes.
But, do you know the story behind the song? If not, I think you will be interested to find out about its humble beginnings.
Reportedly, it all began in 1862 during the Civil War, when Union Army Captain Robert Ellicombe was with his men near Harrison's Landing in Virginia. The Confederate Army was on the other side of the narrow strip of land.
During the night, Captain Ellicombe heard the moans of a soldier who lay severely wounded on the field. Not knowing if it was a Union or Confederate soldier, the Captain decided to risk his life and bring the stricken man back for medical attention. Crawling on his stomach through the gunfire, the Captain reached the stricken soldier and began pulling him toward his encampment.
When the Captain finally reached his own lines, he discovered it was actually a Confederate soldier, but the soldier was dead.
The Captain lit a lantern and suddenly caught his breath and went numb with shock. In the dim light, he saw the face of the soldier. It was his own son. The boy had been studying music in the South when the war broke out. Without telling his father, the boy! enlisted in the Confederate Army.
The following morning, heartbroken, the father asked permission of his superiors to
Give his son a full military burial, despite his enemy status. His request was only partially granted.
The Captain had asked if he could have a group of Army band members play a funeral dirge for his son at the funeral. The request was turned down since the soldier was a Confederate. But, out of respect for the father, they did say they could give him only one musician. The Captain chose a bugler. He asked the bugler to play a series of musical notes he had found on a piece of paper in the pocket of the dead youth's uniform.
This wish was granted.
The haunting melody, we now know as 'Taps' .. . used at military funerals was born.
The words are :
Day is done..
Gone the sun.
From the lakes.
From the hills.
From the sky.
All is well
Safely rest.
God is nigh.
Fading light.
Dims the sight.
And a star.
Gems the sky.
Gleaming bright.
From afar.
Drawing nigh.
Falls the night.
Thanks and praise.
For our days.
Neath the sun.
Neath the stars.
Neath the sky.
As we go.
This we know.
God is nigh.
I too have felt the chills while listening to 'Taps' but I have never seen all the words to the song until now. I didn't even know there was more than o ne verse. I also never knew the story behind the song and I didn't know if you had either so I thought I'd pass it along.
I now have an even deeper respect for the song than I did before.
Remember Those Lost and Harmed While Serving Their Country.
