Florida volunteer named Point of Light
The Florida governor Charlie Crist recognized Shirley Symonds as a Point of Light for the people of Florida, citing her as a "shining example of volunteer service" on July 9, 2007. Symonds, 89, was honored for giving more than 26 years of service to the Florida Bureau of Braille and Talking Book Library (BBTBL) in Daytona Beach.
Since 1981, Symonds has regularly volunteered 15 hours a week at the bureau, assisting in nearly every area of work and contributing more than 20,000 hours of service. She currently works in the bureau's Materials Production Section, where she operates braille embossers and other equipment used to produce braille books, magazines, and newsletters.
Governor Crist said in a written statement, "I am proud to honor Shirley for her steadfast commitment to serving the braille readers of Florida. By volunteering each week, Shirley embodies the selfless spirit of Floridians dedicated to improving the lives of others."
State senator Evelyn Lynn presented the award to Symonds on behalf of Governor Crist at the ceremony, attended by more than 70 bureau volunteers and staff. Former Florida Department of Education commissioner John Winn, whom Symonds met while he was touring the BBTBL, nominated her for the award.
BBTBL chief Michael Gunde said, "Symonds' service is emblematic of all of our volunteers, whose work is critical to our program. We are one of only a few government agencies where volunteers are the majority of our workforce rather than paid employees. Yet our service quality is consistently rated as higher than most other programs. Volunteers are the key to our success. We salute Shirley Symonds and all of our dedicated volunteers who work together to help make our world a better place in which to live."
"Shirley embodies the selfless spirit of Floridians dedicated to improving the lives of others."
—Florida governor Charlie Crist
The Governor's Point of Light Award, sponsored by Royal Caribbean International and Celebrity Cruises, recognizes a Florida resident each week who demonstrates exemplary service to his or her community. A panel of judges, composed of Florida volunteers, evaluates all nominations and makes recommendations to Governor Crist. The nonprofit Volunteer Florida Foundation manages the award program.
National Federation of the Blind handles NLS braille certification responsibilities
Since taking over the administration of the braille transcriber training program for NLS in 2007, the National Federation of the Blind (NFB) has forwarded to NLS the names of more than 300 individuals for certification as braille transcribers and proofreaders. Authority and oversight for certification remains with the Library of Congress; NFB's role as a contractor to NLS is strictly administrative. The Librarian of Congress and the NLS director will continue to authorize and issue certifications for braille transcribers.
Students may now submit their literary course lessons in electronic format via e-mail. Communicating via e-mail reduces the turnaround time for lesson evaluation, which helps students proceed through the course more efficiently. NFB continues to revise course materials to ensure that Braille Authority of North America (BANA) updates are incorporated into the braille certification courses.
"Braille remains essential for the employment of blind people everywhere, and we are pleased to be working with the Library of Congress on this important program that makes high-quality braille more widely available," said Jennifer Dunnam, manager of Braille Programs for the NFB's Jernigan Institute.
"NLS was solely responsible for all braille certification in this country for 63 years, but the methods of braille production have changed dramatically," said NLS director Frank Kurt Cylke. "To best serve our patrons, we must keep pace. NFB, a longtime advocate for braille in the United States, has demonstrated expertise in braille technology and is therefore highly qualified to administer this program."
Since 1943, NLS has offered courses in literary braille transcription for Library of Congress certification. Courses in mathematics and music transcribing, as well as literary and mathematics proofreading, were later added. Transcribers determine how to accurately represent print information in braille and then transcribe the information, providing blind readers with the same materials available to sighted readers. Approximately 200 transcribers and proofreaders receive certification each year. "NLS will remain the certifying authority for braille transcribers and proofreaders, continuing to guarantee the high standards associated with their work," said Cylke.
Founded in 1940, the National Federation of the Blind is the largest organization of blind people in America, with more than 50,000 members, with affiliates in all 50 states, and more than 700 local chapters. NFB's International Braille and Technology Center for the Blind is a comprehensive evaluation, demonstration, and training center, housing more than $2.5 million in tactile and speech output technology. Current and prospective braille transcribers may contact Jennifer Dunnam, manager of Braille Programs at NFB's Jernigan Institute, at (612) 767-5658 or [email protected].

National Braille Association launches Ask an Expert
In April 2007, the National Braille Association (NBA) launched a web site feature called Ask an Expert that lists 10 areas of expertise in braille transcribing where members may post questions and view responses. Visitors do not need to be members of NBA to view the site, but those who wish to post questions must register.
The Ask an Expert service was originally developed to increase services to members. According to executive director Dave Shaffer, NBA created a place online for transcribers and experts to meet. "We are hoping people who use Ask an Expert will promote the free service and spark interest in joining NBA," said Shaffer.
The goal is for an expert to respond to each question within 24 hours. A question may be forwarded to several experts before an answer is provided. The NBA board of directors moderates the questions and volunteers its time to help transcribers.
The site's registered membership has grown to nearly 200 with about as many questions posted. The Mathematics and Science area is the most widely viewed—one question and response on centering reference page numbers in a second-grade math workbook attracted more than 900 views.
Carmen Gilchrist, who owns a transcription business in San Antonio, is an example of the site's success. She heard about the service "through the grapevine" a few weeks after it launched and has been hooked ever since. "It says something about the industry that so many people want to find the exact format for transcription," said Gilchrist. She doubts the experts can be stumped. According to Gilchrist, a question on where to place the name of the author of a poem went through ten moderators before the correct format was established. "I'm so grateful for how much people volunteer for this service," she exclaimed.
Areas of expertise on the web site are: the braille formats course, computer-assisted transcription, educational materials, foreign language, literary braille, mathematics and science, music braille, online learning, tactile graphics, and transcriber services. To view Ask an Expert, go to www.nationalbraille.org. The National Braille Association can be contacted by phone: (585) 427-8260; by fax: (585) 427-0263; or by mail: 3 Townline Circle, Rochester, NY 14623-2513.
Braille Authority of North America offers code update
In a continuing effort to be responsive to braille readers and braille transcribers, the Braille Authority of North America (BANA) released BANA Braille Codes Update 2007. It contains updates to the following codes:
• English Braille, American Edition, 1994, Revised 2002
• Braille Formats: Principles of Print to Braille Transcription, 1997

In Memoriam
Maxine B. Dorf (1921–2008), leading braille authority
Maxine B. Dorf, who retired as NLS Braille Codes Section head in 1983 after 32 years of service, died in Lexington, Kentucky, on March 14, 2008. She was 87.
For more than three decades, Dorf was part of the Library of Congress program to certify braille transcribers and proofreaders. Coworkers and volunteers knew her as an outgoing person who found much joy in her work and life.
NLS government and volunteer information specialist Freddie Peaco, a colleague, fondly remembers her: "Maxine was such a warm and welcoming person. She was very active with the volunteers and the braille community, and I found her to be very approachable about work-related matters."
As Dorf's tenure with the Library grew, so did her reputation as a braille authority. "She was known worldwide for her professional braille capability," said NLS director Frank Kurt Cylke. "Maxine had a talent for melding accuracy and humor to the point that those who enjoyed her tutelage were sad when they had to leave."
Dorf received a Meritorious Service Award in 1961 for coauthoring the Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing, a lesson plan for teaching braille, used by students around the world. The American Library Association honored her with the Francis Joseph Campbell Award in 1984. She served for decades with the Braille Authority of North America. From 1981 to 1982, Dorf was president of the National Braille Association. During the 1980s she received the Leonard A. Robinson Award from the Maryland chapter of the American Council of the Blind (ACB) and the Robert S. Bray award from ACB.
Norma Schecter (1919–2007), braille literacy champion
Theta A champion for braille literacy and an advocate for the blind community, Norma Schecter died January 6, 2007, after a long struggle with Parkinson's disease. She was 87.
During the 1950s, Schecter was an early proponent of braille in Southern California. She taught braille in West Covina and organized the Braille Institute Transcriber's Guild in Los Angeles and the San Gabriel Valley Braille Guild. In the 1970s Schecter moved to Orange County and started braille transcription courses at Huntington Beach Adult School and Saddleback Adult School, Orange Coast College, Saddleback College, and Long Beach City College. In 1974 she founded the Beach Cities Braille Guild. Schecter taught in Orange County for almost 30 years.
She received the 2001 Braille Literacy Award and the 2000 Jim Veale Humanitarian Award. A stone honoring Schecter was placed on the American Printing House Wall of Tribute for her 50 years of service.
"Norma had a Rolodex in her brain that she could scroll through in seconds and come up with an answer—a source of information, who to call, where to go, etcetera—to anyone with a question about braille," said Linda McGovern, a longtime friend.
Richard Hawkinson (1925–2007), dedicated South Carolina volunteer
South Carolina State Library, Talking Book Services (TBS) TelecomPioneer Richard "Dick" Hawkinson passed away on August 20, 2007. He was 82.
For 20 years, Hawkinson spent most Tuesday mornings repairing talking-book equipment for the library. Since 1992, he led a dedicated group of TelecomPioneer volunteers who supported the library's machine-repair program.
"Demonstrating his dedication to the Pioneers and the repair program, he worked until August 7, still wearing his big smile," said Pamela N. Davenport, TBS director.
Braille student-instructor dialog
The Braille Development Section receives numerous questions concerning a variety of problems in braille transcribing. This article addresses some of those issues. The question-and-answer format is intended to provide clarity.
Student: I am about to begin working on my 35-page trial manuscript for Library of Congress certification. I have studied the Instruction Manual for Braille Transcribing, fourth edition, 2000, concentrating on the instructions for centering a heading.
However, when a centered heading occupies an uneven number of cells, I am having trouble deciding in which cell to begin my heading. For example, the title of my book contains 29 cells. When I follow the instructions for centering a heading on a braille line, I have an uneven number of cells so that the title cannot be perfectly centered.
Instructor: When a heading occupies an uneven number of cells so that it cannot be perfectly centered, move the heading off center by one cell to the left, thus making more room for a long title and the page number. Therefore, the title of your book should begin in cell 6.
Student: I am transcribing a book in which it is necessary for me to divide plural words at the end of the braille line. Unfortunately, the plurals of nouns are not given in my dictionary. Could you give me some guidance on how to divide them?
Instructor: Certainly. The plurals of nouns are not given in the dictionary if they are formed regularly. To divide such words, it is necessary to know that when a plural is formed by adding "s" or "es" to a word ending in the sound of "ch," "sh," "j," "s," "x," or "z," the "es" becomes a separate syllable. Examples: bush-es, catch-es, dress-es, box-es, hedg-es, maz-es. Remember that when an "s" is added to a word ending in "e" but does not form a new syllable, the word cannot be further divided. Examples: games, miles, likes, dislikes, takes, mistakes.
Student: I believe it is clear to me now how to divide plural nouns. However, the past tense and the past and present participles of regular verbs also cannot be found in my dictionary, and I am having difficulty deciding how to divide these words.
Instructor: In general, adding "d" or "ed" to form the past tense of a verb does not create a new syllable. Therefore, such words as "raced," "caused," and "shaved" are one syllable and are not divided. However, when "ed" is added to a verb ending in "d," "t," "dd," or "tt," it is pronounced separately and constitutes a new syllable. Examples: suspend-ed, supplant-ed, add-ed, butt-ed.
When a verb ends in a "t" or "d" that is doubled before the addition of "ed," a new syllable is formed and the division is made between the doubled consonants. Examples: nod-ded, plot-ted.
When "ing" is added to a verb to form the present participle, it creates a new syllable. Examples: play-ing, hid-ing, fish-ing. When "ing" is added to a base word, it becomes a syllable; however, when a final consonant is doubled before adding the "ing," the word is divided between the doubled consonants. Examples: grab-bing, run-ning.
Student: Finally, are there other problems that I might encounter in dividing words that are not given in the dictionary?
Instructor: Yes, adjectives. Great care should be taken to distinguish adjectives ending in "ed"—such as "crooked" and "wicked"—where the "ed" constitutes a separate syllable, even though it is not preceded by a "t" or "d."
When "er" or "est" is added to adjectives to form the comparative or superlative, this always results in an additional syllable. Examples: bold-er, long-est.
When the base word ends in "ee," the word is divided between the two "e"s. Examples: fre-er, fre-est. When a final consonant is doubled before adding the "er" or "est," the word should be divided between the doubled consonants. Examples: big-ger, mad-dest.
Volunteers master new skills
Between January and October 2007, 180 people received certificates in braille transcribing: 160 in literary braille transcribing, 1 in literarybraille proofreading, 13 in mathematics braille transcribing, and 6 in music braille transcribing.

North Carolina celebrates 20-year career of volunteer services director Gary Raye
The theme "You and Gary Ray make a difference every day!" greeted the more than 150 volunteers and well-wishers gathered at the North Carolina Library for the Blind and Physically Handicapped (LBPH), on November 16, 2006, for a combined volunteer recognition dinner and retirement party. Gary Ray, the library's outreach/volunteer services director, retired in March of 2007 after working for more than 20 years to ensure that patrons received the best library services.
Ray began his association with the LBPH as a volunteer in 1981. For six years he served in many different capacities before he was hired as a reader advisor in 1987. In that capacity, Ray got to know many of the library's patrons and volunteers. During this time he also served a term as president of the Friends of the Library. "This position allowed me to give back to the organization that not only employed me, but also gave me high quality library service, which I first started using in 1976," said Ray.
In 1996 Ray became the library's outreach/volunteer services director, a position that gave him the opportunity to travel around the state to discuss the library's services. "It made me so happy to spread the word about the service. Sometimes I felt it was more of a calling than a job," he smiled.
In his farewell speech "I Had a Really Good Time," Ray said:
"I first became aware of the library back in the mid-seventies as I was losing my sight. The services of the LBPH saved my life. Reading was the first thing I took back from my blindness. I have seen the library from every point of view: as a patron, volunteer, Friends officer, and an employee. During that time, nearly 30 years, my support for this agency and its mission has never flagged. . . .
Volunteering is important to me as I know it is to each of you. I can assure you that your contribution to our service is essential for us to deliver some of the best library services in the nation. What you do is so important. Please don't ever stop!"

Do you have a favorite ancestor? It's hard for me to narrow down my favorite to just one, but I do like John E. Wilson, who was buried at Crooked Creek Cemetery in Crittenden County in 1853, age about 75. This area was part of Livingston County, Kentucky until 1842, when Crittenden County was formed.
John E. Wilson just shows up in Livingston County in 1816, when he married Harriett Brooks. John E. doesn't appear on the tax lists there until 1818, but he bought land on Crooked Creek from David Dickey in 1817 and then is on the 1820 census record. Bit by bit, I was able to learn more about him. John E. had an earlier marriage to the daughter of Hugh McVay, a veteran of the Revolutionary War, and he had a third marriage to Nancy Franks in 1831. I also learned that his oldest child was born in Tennessee about 1807/08. Prior to that, his whereabouts were a mystery.
Long after John E. Wilson's death, a deed was recorded which conveyed land for an addition to the cemetery at Crooked Creek Baptist Church so I knew he lived near the church. The area around Crooked Creek was settled mainly by people from the upstate area of South Carolina. None were named Wilson except John E. and he listed North Carolina as his place of birth on the 1850 census. Maybe he was actually born in South Carolina or maybe he was born in one of counties along the North - South Carolina border. Previous research on other Wilson families in the area had shown that several Wilson brothers who settled in the Bells Mines area were from Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, but I had eliminated them as relatives of John E. Settling over in the Piney area was John M. Wilson, but he was from Roane County, Tennessee and came to Kentucky later than John E.
Sometimes when you can't find the info you need by researching the person directly, you have to try a different tactic. It was time to research anyone who might have had contact with John E. I gathered as much information as possible on the neighbors of John E. Wilson - their marriages, who witnessed their deeds, who owned land adjoining that of John E. Wilson, who was also buried in Crooked Creek Cemetery, and anything else I could turn up. There was some success as I did learn that William McMican, who bought land from John E. Wilson in 1820 was married to Rhoda Brooks and her death record lists her father as Dabney Brooks. Interesting. There was no other Brooks family in the area so maybe Rhoda and Harriett Brooks were sisters, or at least closely related. I also learned that each of John E. Wilson's three wives had some sort of connection to Hugh McVay, his first father-in-law, either through blood, marriage or location. Hugh McVay was also in Tennessee before receiving a land grant in Kentucky. Perhaps that is where his daughter met and married John E. Wilson. No marriage record has turned up, though.
I've learned a little more about John E. Wilson and it causes me to feel there was a strong connection to Dabney Brooks with Dabney probably being the father in law of John E. Wilson. John E. and Dabney Brooks were both in southern Indiana, not far from where I live, at an early date and, while Dabney stayed and died in Indiana, John E. apparently went back to Kentucky. Dabney also shows up in some of the same counties and states as Hugh McVay and there is a connection by marriage years before they both show up in Kentucky.
I have been in contact with other researchers who suggest that John E. is connected to Aquilla Wilson, who left Maryland and settled in Rockingham County, North Carolina. Some members of this family migrated to Giles County, Tennessee. I haven't seen any proof, but, if this is true, it is quite a coincidence as my Joyce and Bostick families also lived in Rockingham County. They, too, went to Tennessee, just one county west of Giles.
As far as I know, John E. Wilson didn't participate in any great event, he owned but little land, and he has managed to keep his birthplace secret for years and years. I'll keep on searching and sometime, somewhere I'll turn up that piece of information to complete this puzzle. In the meantime, I've learned quite a bit about his neighbors and that isn't bad.
Another time I'll tell you about my Livingston County ancestor who had several children and no husband. What a challenge she has been! Also, be thinking about your favorite ancestor and what makes them special. Maybe you will share that information with us.

Missing Malaysian Airlines Flight: What We Know Now
The search area grows as the investigation continues.
March 15, 2014 -- After a week of investigating and searching, officials are still unable to explain what happened to Malaysian Airlines Flight MH 370.
New revelations about the plane's path have led officials to refocus and expand the search area, which has widened to nearly 5,000 miles wide. As officials frantically search for the missing jetliner carrying 239 people, here's a rundown of what we know so far.
Investigation Reveals Plane was in Air Hours After Disappearing From Radar
Malaysia Airlines Flight MH 370 en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, China, disappeared from radar about 1:30 a.m. a week ago.
Investigators revealed today that the jetliner is now believed to have been in the air for nearly seven hours after initially disappearing.
The plane's transponder, which reports its location and altitude - along with a data reporting system - were shut down within minutes of each other before the plane changed course. According to experts, the fact that the systems were shut down separately means a catastrophic event is unlikely because both systems would have failed at the same time.
Malaysian Airliner Shut Down Communications Separately
After disappearing from radar the plane turned back towards Malaysia, where military radar picked up the plane's signal but did not realize it was a passenger jet until days later. The plane was tracked crossing Peninsular Malaysia before crossing the Strait of Malacca.
Although the transponder was turned off, the plane was "pinging" a satellite for hours after it disappeared from radar. As a result, officials revealed the last time the satellite received data from the plane was 8:11 a.m., about seven hours and 31 minutes after the plane took off. Currently officials have not been able to track the plane's location with these same "pings."
Officials refused to confirm that the plane was hijacked and said "all possibilities" were being investigated.
The Malaysian government has come under fire for not sharing information sooner. The government has turned down multiple offers of help from Interpol a source told ABC News.
The Chinese government's Xinhua News Agency said the Malaysian information was "painfully belated," on Saturday. A majority of passengers on the missing flight were Chinese.

The Pilots
A week after the flight disappeared, police finally visited the homes of the pilots for Flight MH 370. They did not release any findings to reporters.
The missing plane was piloted by Capt. Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, and his co-pilot or first officer on the flight was Fariq Abdul Hamid, 27. Neither Shah or Hamid appeared to raise any red flags during the initial investigation.
Shah, a married father with three grown children, joined Malaysian Airlines in 1981 and has more than 18,000 hours of experience in the air.
Hamid had been flying with Malaysian Airlines since 2007 and has more than 2,000 hours in the air.
Earlier this week ABC News visited the mosque where Hamid prays on Fridays when he is not flying. Imam Ahmad Sharafi Ali Asrah characterized Hamid as a good man. The mosque prayed for him and his family.
The Search
The new information about the plane's flight path has meant the search efforts have been rerouted from the South China Sea to the Indian Ocean.
The hours between the plane's disappearance from radar and its final data transmission to a satellite means officials are left to search a staggeringly large area, around 5,000 miles from Kazakhstan to the south Indian Ocean.
More than 40 ships and 39 aircraft from 12 countries are searching for signs of the plane in the water but have not found any debris yet.
The Passengers
Aboard the flight were 239 people, made up of 227 passengers (including one infant and one toddler) and 12 crew members. Four passengers who were waiting on the stand-by list to board flight MH370 were given seats on the plane after four ticketed passengers did not show up for the flight.
Three Americans, including two children, are among the missing. Philip Wood, 50, an IBM executive, had just come from Texas where he was visiting family on his way to Beijing. Fourteen nationalities were on board, though 152 passengers were Chinese.
Twenty passengers on the plane worked for the Austin, Texas, company Freescale Semiconductor. Another passenger, Chng Mei Ling, worked as an engineer for the Pennsylvania company Flexsys America LP.
Investigators discovered that two passengers used stolen passports - one from Austria and one from Italy - to board the flight. Interpol identified them as Iranians Seyed Mohammad Reza Delavar, 29, and Pouria Nourmohammadi, 18, and said they have no known links to militant groups, downplaying the possibility they were terrorists.

Ever since the iPhone 4S and iOS 5 have been released, there have been widespread complaints about the iPhone's dismal battery life, especially on the latest model.
Apple appears to have finally figured out the issue, as a new software update is coming soon to fix the power-hungry problem.
Here's Apple's terse statement:
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
"A small number of customers have reported lower-than-expected battery life on iOS 5 devices. We have found a few bugs that are affecting battery life and we will release a software update to address those in a few weeks."
Small number, big number, whatever. What's important is that the issues should be taken care of soon, so you can stop carrying that power cable around with you in your pocket all day.

Getting annoyed with "Your Firefox Browser is out of date" notification that hijacks the browser page everytime I open Firefox. If I wanted to update I would!
Getting annoyed with "Your Firefox Browser is out of date" notification that hijacks the browser page every time I open Firefox. If I wanted to update I would! I do not want to update. I want to remain on the version I have so HOW DO I STOP the annoying notification alert every time I open a browser window ...to which I have been selecting. "No thanks, I will risk it". I do not want this box popping up anymore. It seems like a bullying form of forcing something on someone.
Soluzione scelta
Hi HawkMike...... your solution for now seems to have done the trick and got rid of that annoying forceful drop down box every time I opened a new Firefox browser window.
I had to enter and edit it twice under Tools-Options- General- Homepage Box: as Craigslist kept coming up as the forst screen since I was in Craigslist last. So I deleted the string back to just : http://www.google.com/
Problem relieved. Thanks HawkMike.
@ Tyler... I do understand what you are saying but for now ... I have been on this version for 2 years or so and maybe I am playing Russian Roulette but I hate being pushed into a format I end up not liking and if the instructions above are as easy as you say and often they are not.... than if that does not do the trick, it's not like I can get back to 3.6.6 again. I tried to do that on my home computer to no success. It still had all the fragments of the new version even though I assumed I reloaded the old back on again.Leggere questa risposta nel contesto 2

The version of Firefox you are using is very old and very insecure. Staying with that ancient of a version is not recommended. Is there a reason you don't want to update? I can try to help you resolve any issues you have with updating.
If you go to Tools, Options, Advanced, Update, tell firefox to "Never check for updates".
Utente che ha posto la domanda
Hi Tyler, Thanks for the quick reply. To your question: Is there a reason you don't want to update? The short answer to this is an old saying that I often live by: If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Often more times than not when I have upgraded in the past whether it was my browser, Media Player, or other programs what usully happens is the format, the overall look of the program that one has got used to changes a fair bit. In other cases some aspects of the new upgraded program become intrusive, annoying or impaired. When someone gets used to the layout and look and feel of a program, changing it all around is a negative and makes it hard to navigate and learn all over and frankly, I have never had a security issue thus far with my Malware and Virus protection.
I know at my home computer I was tricked into upgrading Firefox and I do not (as many do not) like the new look and layout of Firefox. I will try your tools suggestion and see if that helps. Thanks so much
Utente che ha posto la domanda
Hi Tyler, Well I just went to Tools- Options- Advanced and low and behold all three boxes are UNCHECKED I am still being hassled by a drop down box telling me my browser is out of date. Here is the drop down box that haunts me now every time I open a new browser window:
Your browser is out of date.
Upgrade today for the latest in speed and security.
Your browser is out of date.
Upgrade today for the latest in speed and security. Free Download No thanks, I'll risk it.
Ok, I think what your best solution is is this: Download Firefox 12 from www.getfirefox.com.
After downloading and installing that, then I would suggest using a resource like http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6/, which will help you customize Firefox to look and behave just like firefox 3.6, but with all the new security fixes (Just so you know, by not updating, you are vulnerable to almost all of the security holes listed at https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html, and more).
With the new theme and customization (which shouldn't take very long to do) you should be all set. I know getting used to a new look and feel is difficult, fortunately that is the beauty of firefox, you can make it behave and look how you want it to. But, just not upgrading because "it isn't broken" don't work here, because unfortunately, Firefox 3.6.6 is broken due to security issues, crashes, speed and web standards support :(

Risposta utile
The solution is actually very simple. Just change your home page (Tools -> Options -> General) to something else, like http://www.google.com, and the popup will go away. I had this problem also, but not anymore!!!
It seems to only pop up if you go to start.mozilla.org
I'm not super happy about changing the homepage, but I don't really care because that pop up is worse.
I came here expecting to get help with this problem. Instead, I see a bunch of responses repeating what the spam message says. If I wanted to do that I wouldn't have come all the way out here!
EDIT: Alternately, if you have Adblock Plus (or another blocker), you can go Tools -> Adblock Plus -> Open blockable items and block the line
This seems to work too, then you can keep using the old homepage with no harassment.

I am also annoyed by the notification of "Your Firefox Browser is out of date" that hijacks the browser page every time I open Firefox. As a matter of fact, I had to downgrade Firefox to the version 3.6 because it is the only one compatible with the RealPlayer plugin that allow me to download content from youtube easier than any of the all other junk out there
Do I have the choice to use whatever version of anything that I want on my computer?
This whole Firefox is annoying my concept of ownership of my own computer, I can't be wasting time on annoyances every time I open my browser - if that's Firefox policy, it has something in common with ie
Please, don't waste your time in replying with what is good for me - this is about ownership rights - I am running an old version - so what? The version of the OS in the brain of anyone in here is older than DOS and I don't know anyone who wants to change the air of the head just because they have a new version
I am older than DOS and I can tell you, there is no such thin as a browser that is also a firewall and antivirus and wipe your back at the same time - if so, just delete your antivirus and install the new version of everything (yeah right)
I think that it is about the time to seek for another browser that is just a browser and let my firewall to be the firewall and my antivirus to take care of the viruses - trend micro proxy also prevent me from accidentally accessing malicious web sites
I dont need to have Check Point Firewall on the front of my router, then another virtual firewall in Windows and another Firewall on the browser
What's going on with you guys?
Actually, if you do upgrade to Firefox 12, and can't get it to work, you can downgrade to 3.6 http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html has the installers. Please note this isn't supported at all due to security issues.
TheMiamiguy, a firewall won't help you against some of the security issues fixed in these updates. And not updating is a wise thing because you'd rather have known security holes then try your best to stay secure? I update as soon as possible to help minimize the possibility of attack, I figure, the more updates and fixes I have, the better the chances i won't have issues down the road.
My computer does not meet the requirements for the the new Fox download.
Yeah...this is annoying me. I hated when I upgraded from 2 to 3 because it broke all of my plugins...I don't want to break all of my plugins from firefox 3 Mozilla! What about that do you not understand??
Tools > Options > General > Home page Check that your default (home) page is google.com (or whatever) and not some https://... mozilla... something. THIS is how you get rid of the annoying pop-up, not by downloading the newer version. The new versions (they are Sooo fast) use 80-100% of my P4 CPU. I gave up long ago on "upgrading" Firefox. This was an ugly move from you guys.
Modificato da qualifier il
Yes I know, I switched to www.google.com but I liked the Mozilla google page. :P
Me too. Not anymore, for the obvious reason discussed above.
Plus, I LIKE the format of Firefox 3. The new version just looks like an attempt to look like google chrome...I don't LIKE google chrome, that's why I use FIREFOX, not google chrome...
Well the awesome thing is, you can customize Firefox 12 to look like 3.6. http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/13/making-firefox-10-more-like-firefox-3-6/ is a good starter.
Utente che ha posto la domanda
Hi Tyler, You are taking a lot of beating and I applaud you for keeping calm.... even though everyone does have very valid points. I think Firefox should simply alert the user to the reasons to upgrade but also be transparent about any negatives like more CPU usage, or more stuff running behind the scenes... be transparent and let the user decide. If they risk the old version and get compromised, than as they say Caveat Emptor. Being forced or tricked into a upgrade because someone hit the wrong button when refusing or having to change the Homepage in order to shake a nasty reminder that does not go away is in my opinion pushy and bossy.
deadcandance, you can always give your opinion on a better way of updating Firefox by going to http://input.mozilla.org/en-US/feedback and clicking the "I have an Idea" section (developers rarely read these forums, so suggestions like yours will likely get lost here).
Also, just so you know, high CPU usage, etc. (I'm not sure what you mean by more stuff running behind the scenes, as there aren't anythings running behind the scenes. If you mean the mozilla update service, it only starts when there is an update, it installs it, then kills itself, so it isn't constantly running) are not normal and we can help you resolve them if you have those issues.
Perhaps I'll sum it up here so then everyone coming into this discussion can see :)
Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported: Firefox 3.6 is no longer supported
Firefox 12 is the current release: www.getfirefox.com
Firefox 3.6 is open to security holes: https://www.mozilla.org/security/known-vulnerabilities/firefox.html
While you can choose to stay on 3.6, it is not at all wise or recommended.
If you want to keep the home page from telling you to update, simply change your home page to something else (like www.google.com). How to set the home page
If you wish to customize Firefox 12 to look like 3.6, you can: http://mike.kaply.com/2012/02/13/making-firefox-10-more-like-firefox-3-6/
All software gets out of date, and eventually people have to stop supporting older versions, as the man power is limited :( 3.6 has been supported since it came out in 2010, it is at the end of it's life.
If you have specific issues with Firefox 12, please start a new thread and the community would love to help you out! https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new
hopefully this helps sum everything up so far (as I understand it), just so everyone is on the same page.
What we gently ask of you is: "no more pop-ups". Thanks, Tyler.

Check out Shark Man as Computer Jesus
The first trailer for the Steve Jobs biopic written by Aaron Sorkin, creatively titled Steve Jobs, is here and it does not show much beyond Michael Fassbender in a black turtleneck and glasses as Jobs. The movie is still shooting, so it's no surprise there's not much footage available, but I do like the tone this trailer is setting. Full Story
The Jobs movie is officially happening
After a very public, turbulent pre-production phase, the Steve Jobs biopic written by Aaron Sorkin—disappointingly titled Steve Jobs and not Computer Jesus—is officially underway and shooting around San Francisco. After being plagued by casting problems ranging from a leading Full Story
Still Dumb and Dumber
I don't think I've ever laughed harder in a movie than I did when I first saw Dumb and Dumber. It was a perfect convergence of comedy: I was twelve, Jim Carrey was at the top of his game, and the Farrelly Brothers' gross-out aesthetic was brand new. Dumb and Dumber felt less like a movie and more like a collection of related skits. Full Story

Wenn, Fame/Flynet
As I mentioned yesterday, Aaron Sorkin's new show The Newsroom, premiering on HBO Canada and HBO on Sunday at 10pm, is being ripped apart by critics. It's not that they don't have a point: Sorkin is sentimental, smug, preachy, wordy, and it can be infuriating the way he writes women. Full Story

Johnson handed Home Office brief
Poisoned chalice for alleged leadership contender
Alan Johnson, the man tipped to take over if Gordon Brown is forced to quit, has today been handed the famously troublesome Home Office brief.
Following the resignation of Work and Pensions Secretary James Purnell last night, the Prime Minister brought his Cabinet reshuffle forward from Monday in a bid to regain control of his government.
Johnson has pledged allegiance to Gordon Brown, but it's reported he has let it be known he would be interested in the leader's job if it came up.
As Home Secretary he'll take responsibility for arguably the most disliked and gaffe-prone Whitehall department, which is currently pushing through the ID card project and plans for a massive increase in monitoring of the internet.
A former postal union chief, Johnson was most recently Health Secretary. He takes over at the Home Office from Jacqui Smith, whose resignation was leaked earlier this week.
The job of Home Secretary has proven a poisoned chalice for senior Labour figures. David Blunkett, John Reid, Charles Clarke - and now Smith - all headed for the back benches after controversies. Only Jack Straw remains in frontline politics.
According to the BBC, the Chancellor Alistair Darling turned down a move to the Home Office and will stay at the Treasury.
Also part of today's reshuffle, Defence Secretary and prominent Blairite John Hutton became the fourth Cabinet minister to leave government this week. He cited family reasons. A successor hasn't been named yet.
In a forthright blog posting today, John Prescott strongly criticised Purnell and other senior Labour figures for distracting the party from the European and local election campaign. ®

The True Cost Of SMS Won't Matter Much As Mobile Devices Advance
from the it-will-work-itself-out deptLast week, Slashdot linked to an entertaining analysis of the cost of SMS messages. Noting that many carriers are raising their SMS prices despite increasing demand for the service — demand which should be spurring competition — the author of the post figures out the number of bits in a text message and concludes that transmitting data by SMS is about 15 million times more expensive than doing so over a commodity internet connection.
But of course this isn't really a fair comparison. A commodity internet connection doesn't afford the ubiquity that a cellular network does. Comparing the data rate and price of voice traffic is probably more instructive (although the two types of messages are admittedly not transmitted in the same manner across the network). Taking AT&T's overage charge of $0.45 cents/minute and 13kbps as a plausible bitrate for a GSM call, my calculator says that SMS data is a mere 316% more expensive than voice traffic.
That's still not great, though. And there's no question that SMS prices are going up even farther — in the past year or so the Consumerist blog has been full of posts encouraging various carriers' users to escape their contracts thanks to those contracts' newly-increased SMS fees. It's an unfortunate situation: very few consumers select a carrier on the basis of its SMS offerings, and few will leave their carrier over them, either, blunting the consumer response to price increases. Plus, as the technology has gained popularity the mobile operators have lost the need to encourage its adoption through cheap rates. It's not very surprising to see them conclude that the most profitable price point for SMS is higher than the one they had been offering.
Fortunately for the rest of us, this state of affairs doesn't seem likely to last much longer. Although there's little reason to have faith in the mobile market's ability to bend the carriers to consumers' will, new technologies are going to inevitably dry up the SMS bonanza. We're on the verge of the iPhone SDK's release, and Google's Android seems likely to find its way into many cheaper handsets. These and other technologies mean that the average customer will have access to bulk data services on their handset soon if they don't already. And once bulk data can be consumed, so many options for short message communication become available that SMS's specialized role will disappear almost immediately. Between web interfaces, widgets, IM clients and email apps, there are a vast number of ways to send short strings of text. Services like Twitter that offer a variety of input modalities will no doubt help to stitch together this looming surplus of communication options.
Given how few bits are required to transmit those messages (and the generic nature of those bits), there'll be no way for the carriers to keep short message transmission as expensive as it currently is — not without without pricing web browsing, email and other mobile data services into oblivion. I wouldn't expect SMS to disappear, but it seems safe to assume it'll start getting cheaper soon.

Maybe it's a hold-over from my childhood days, but September is the month of organization. You know, the ritual purchasing of three-ring binders, pencil holders, graph paper, all with the hope and optimism that this year things will stay organized. Inevitably by the end of the year you're digging around your overstuffed backpack for that piece of paper with the homework assignment on it.
Now instead of three-ring binders I hoard information online: downloading, tagging, and clipping, all in the vain hope that it will stay organized for some future use. And why not. I spend a lot of time reading and searching online for emergency medicine information for my particular learning needs. Unfortunately, most of it collects digital dust on my hard drive or cloud – the junk drawers of the digital age.
So here is a great new tool that is actually getting me to use the information I've already collected. Evernote meet Google. Evernote now allows you to simultaneously search Google and your Evernote folder on any web browser. Want to review subtle ECG findings suggestive of STEMI? Type STEMI into Google and it gets you 1,700,000 hits, but now it also gives me 3 notes from my Evernote account. Since I've already clipped these to my account the likelihood that they are valuable to me at the moment I want it is high.
Sure enough clicking on the Evernote icon shows me I have an article from Amal Mattu about high risk ECGs, a review of subtle STEMI patterns by Dr Smith from his ECG blog, and a link to another good online ECG education site.
Wow, my preselected information side by side with the power of Google, all at my fingertips on a web browser. Finally, I'm ready for school (can I redo fifth grade please)?

Add Louisville athletic director Tom Jurich's voice to the nation-wide chorus condemning the omission of Colorado by the NCAA Selection Committee omitting Colorado.
"I thought for sure they'd get in," Jurich said Tuesday soon after the Louisville party landed. Jurich is in Denver where his Cardinals are a No. 4 seed at the Pepsi Center.
He has deep ties to this state. Jurich was Colorado State's athletic director from 1994-97 and mentored current CU athletic director Mike Bohn. He had nothing but praise for the job Bohn has done in Boulder.

Nasty: DJ From Pennsylvania Breaking Into Houses & Giving Men Blow Jobs While They Sleep!
"Harrisburg police arrested a man they say prowled the bar scene, looking for victims to satisfy an insatiable appetite for sex in an unusual way. Police say Dajuan Porter performed oral sex on unsuspecting men while they slept. Wednesday night, one man tells only CBS 21 News about the night he found Porter on top of him... Dajuan Porter is known for DJing around Downtown Harrisburg. In recent months he became notorious for assaulting men when they least suspected it. In May of 2011 a man reported to police a man climbed up his fire escape, broke in and began performing oral sex on him. That is the first of three charges that police announced Wednesday. The next two cases came a year later, in that case both victims reported they woke to Porter performing oral sex on them and they knew him. The assaults in those two cases happened after a night of partying. "He actually tried it on me overnight," stated an additional victim. This man, who asked to remain anonymous, claims Porter has done this more than three times. "I violently woke up because I felt a hand go down my pants," stated the victim. That's where it stopped. The man kicked Porter out of his house. Porter had been over with several mutual friends following a night at the bar. "It made me crazy for days and I really wanted to hunt Dejuan down and beat him to the pavement," the victim told us.

|Head Coach
|(617) 495-3434
|Previous College:
|Boston University 1989
|23rd Season
Michael O'Connor has been Harvard's head coach of coed and women's sailing and the university's director of sailing since 1997.
Since taking over the Crimson program, Harvard has won national team race championships in 2002 and 2003, as well as the 2003 national coed championship and the women's national title in 2005. His teams won five straight Leonard M. Fowle Trophies for the top-team performance in the six ICSA North American Championships from 2001-2005. It is the second-longest Fowle Trophy run in history, trailing only Navy's streak of seven Fowle Trophies from 1977 to 1983.
Individually, O'Connor has guided Harvard sailors and crew members to four national sailor-of-the-year awards, six NEISA singlehanded championships, including five of the ICSA variety, and 67 All-America honors.
Since the inception of the ICSA All-Academic Team in 2006, O'Connor's student-athletes have been honored 57 times with the award that recognized those who have distinguished themselves in national and intersectional competition, while maintaining the highest levels of academic standards. Additionally, 24 members of his teams have earned Academic All-Ivy League honors.
Regionally, Harvard has also won nine New England titles under O'Connor's tutelage, including six singlehanded championships, earned three sailor of year honors and collected 58 accolades.
In 2018, O'Connor coached Kevin Coakley into the ICSA Hall of Fame.
O'Connor has been affiliated with the Crimson sailing program since 1989, when he joined the staff as a part-time assistant to former head coach Mike Horn. He was promoted to full-time assistant coach and manager of the Harvard Sailing Center in 1990 before assuming his current position in 1997.
O'Connor has a long and distinguished record of commitment with the New England Intercollegiate Sailing Association, and he currently represents that organization on the Inter-Collegiate Sailing Association All-America Committee. In 2013, he was presented with the ICSA's Graham Hall Award for Outstanding Service as a Sailing Professional and inducted into the ICSA Hall of Fame.
His experience in compeitive sailing dates to his high school days, when he played a key role in the introduction of the sport at Boston College High School. O'Connor went on to spend four years as a member of Boston University's sailing team before he graduated from that institution in 1989.
O'Connor has taught sailing at a number of clubs throughout Massachusetts, including the Wild Harbor Yacht Club, Chappaquoit Yacht Club, Falmouth Yacht Club, and Nantucket Yacht Club. He is currently the director of the Falmouth Sailing School.
O'Connor's family includes his wife, Jane, and their daughters, Julia and Caitlin. The O'Connors live in Foxboro, Mass.

Note: If you are unfamiliar with South Carolina's homeschool laws and would like to know more, there's a summary here at homeschoolacademy.com. I would have linked to scstatehouse.gov, but the website is down today. Hopefully it will be back up soon.
To South Carolina's General Assembly and all concerned citizens:
The 2012-2013 school year has been a special one for our family. This year our firstborn daughter turned five and we began our official first year as a homeschool family. We've known since she was a baby that we would homeschool. Our reasons for choosing this path are many and deep, and we take it seriously. Our journey to this first homeschool year has been filled with research, networking, and preparation. We've spent hundreds of dollars on curricula, books, and manipulatives. Last summer we drove out of state for a wonderful homeschool conference. We are active members of a homeschool enrichment cooperative. We pour our time, money, and energy into this for our children's sakes. Knowing this, can you imagine how I felt upon learning that lawmakers in our state were devising a plan to have us jump through extra hoops and pay more money? The passing of House Bill 3478 would mean less time and money for diligent, responsible homeschoolers to spend actually homeschooling.
While there may be a few parents who do not fulfill their responsibilities, the majority do. All of the homeschool parents I know go above and beyond. Likewise, most third option accountability associations do an excellent job of ensuring that parents know what is required and seeing that they fulfill it. Palmetto Homeschool Association, which our family uses, certainly does. It has always been clear to me that failing to submit the documents certifying that we have completed the required work is unacceptable and could result in termination of our membership. No, it is not required that we submit details of what we do every day; more specific records are maintained privately at home. But why would I lie? A school bus passes our house every day. If I were a lazy, uncaring parent, all I'd need to do to be within the law is nudge my daughter out the door to get on the bus every morning. Of course, most of the parents of public school children I know are also passionate about their children's education. They spend hours helping with homework, chaperoning field trips, and volunteering at the school, but none of that is required by law. If I really didn't care, I could put my kids on that bus once they reach kindergarten age and have six hours to myself every day. We could become a dual-income family and enjoy more luxuries. Instead, I choose to stay home with my children and homeschool. A large portion of our spending money goes into buying educational items or to pay for family field trips. As I think of a few of my homeschooling friends, I know I am not the only one. We are passionate about helping our children learn and grow. If this bill were to become law, it would take money we could put towards our children's education away from us. The sponsors of this bill have apparently seen some poor examples of homeschooling parents, but this is no reason to hurt all the good ones with expensive and invasive measures.
This proposed legislation would create financial hardship for many homeschooling families. Membership in our third option accountability group, Palmetto Homeschool Association, tops out at $65 per year for an entire family of homeschoolers. It's quite affordable and has fulfilled our needs perfectly, but the sponsors of this this bill want to kill it. Membership in SCAIHS, the second legal option, costs upwards of $400 per year depending on several factors. What's more, the president of SCAIHS has said the organization "adamantly opposes" the legislation, according to this article on wyff4.com. Is it really wise to place thousands of extra protesting families under the auspices of this organization without their permission? Also, if this bill becomes law, we will be having tests administered in our home so that our daughter will be in her own learning environment, particularly while she is still very young. Public school children get this for free. I have no idea how much in-home testing would cost us, but we could make some budget cuts if necessary to afford it. Many families wouldn't be able to pay that extra money.
The proposed new requirements could create more than just financial stress for families. Forced testing of homeschoolers is unfair. First of all, public school children are taught from the same curriculum and learn the material that will be on the test in the same environment in which they will test. They would be much more comfortable testing than children who were accustomed to learning at home. I took standardized tests when I was a public school child, and I remember my teacher telling us not to worry and to do our best. For a public school child, the test is no big deal. For a homeschooled child, however, there's a chance it could be. The law states that if a child performs below the appropriate grade level on a standardized test, as one of several invasive remedies, the child may be forced to attend public school. Some children, despite a teacher's best efforts, do not test well. Some of them might have debilitating anxiety. Some of them might naturally be a grade level or two behind on one subject, while ahead in another. This happens in public school classrooms all the time! Would it be fair to fire these students' teachers? Is it fair to cause me and my children anxiety all year long because if, for whatever reason, they perform poorly on the test I could be fired as their teacher? This probably would not happen to us, but it could happen to some families and it would completely change a homeschooling family's way of life.
The government has no business reaching into our lives in the way this bill proposes. It is not the will of the people, and it's certainly not what the freedom-loving people of South Carolina want and expect from their legislators. We parents raised these children. We've changed diapers, fed them, taken them to the dentist, washed their clothes, and read "Goodnight Moon" fifteen times in a row. We've done everything for them and have poured our very lives into helping them grow. Now that our children are school-aged, there are some who would suggest that we are not qualified or don't care enough to offer our children a decent education. That is simply uncalled for. The vast majority of those who homeschool strive to offer the very best education to their children—and in the United States of America, and especially in our state which values freedom so highly, they should always have the right to do it as they see fit. Lawmakers, please abandon this and any future efforts to restrict the freedom of homeschooling families. It's a waste of our time and tax dollars, and propositions of increased government control certainly won't win you any popularity in our state.
Jenny, a hardworking homeschooling mother

8:57PM: Louis Jean, a reporter from Montreal, spoke with Bill Daly who said that the two sides will keep talking through the night until the they hit a wall or the talks start being counterproductive.
8:45PM: Darren Dreger says that the bargaining will likely carry over to tomorrow.
8:12PM: According to Kypreos, the remaining issues are "variance on contracts, term of deals, walkaway arb, pension, buyouts, all issues need to still b resolved"

7:29PM: Darren Dreger replies to LeBrun and says that the difference between the players and the league, in regards to the cap, is believed to be less than $2 million.
Nick Cotsonika tweets
- A $2M gap on cap for one year of eight- to 10-year CBA is silly, especially when players are limited to 50% of HRR no matter what cap is.
- Don't tell me the salary range can't be more than $16M for one transitional year of an eight- to 10-year agreement. Come on, guys.
7:13PM: LeBrun tweets that the NHL has moved off of $60 million for the salary cap but it isn't enough for the players.
6:26PM: Doug MacLean tweets "Making progress. Not tonite but will be done. Motivation is to play more than 48 games..nice change in whats motivating each side."
5:56PM: Bob McKenzie tweets that he is being told that "There's a bit of frenzy going on now that may not be entirely justified." He notes that the comment isn't meant to be taken in a negative tone, but that the "runaway train of optimism that may be a little excessive."
4:53PM: Kevin Paul Dupont writes "Agent: "Ways to go. League leaking info to up pressure on players.""
4:50PM: Bob McKenzie says "3 things to remember: 1. Until whole deal is done, none of it is done. 2. I'm cautiously, VERY cautiously, optimistic. 3. Re-read No. 1."
4:36PM: Kevin Allen reminds:
Everyone needs to be patient There is a big difference between "progress" and a done deal.4:21PM: Nick Cotsonika tweets that there is reason to be optimistic but that things are still tenuous.
4:04PM: On Sportsnet:
- Doug Maclean says that the disclaimer of interest is not a factor anymore. The salary cap will be around $63 or $64 million.
- PK Subban, a guest analyst, says that the key is that both sides want to play.
- John Shannon says that the pension issue is finished.
- Nick Kypreos says that the NHL may be up to around $63 million for next seasons salary cap. Shanon says that the floor at $44 million isn't changing. He says that the floor will be calculated by a revenue formula after the second year of the CBA.
- "lets not get the cart before the horse."---Shannon
- Kypreos says that this all falls on Donald Fehr and how much he wants to squeeze out of the NHL and when he actually wants to sign off on a new CBA.

Tile of the Moment
"Kingfisher" Solon and Schemmel, San Jose, CA. Circa 1920s.
Tile Heritage Foundation collection. Gift of Nick Tommich, 1989.
"Very few tile artists have made as lasting and as dramatic an impression on the California decorative ceramic arts scene since the beginning of the twentieth century as Albert L. Solon (1887-1949). Albert Solon, together with his partner Frank Schemmel began a distinctive tile manufacturing career back in the early 1920's in San Jose, California. Withstanding the test of time . . . . . exquisite examples of Solon's magnificent tile work appear throughout the West; a testimony to the abundant popularity of his unique decorative tile artistry. "
Excerpt from an article "Reflections of the California Mystique; Albert L. Solon's Decorative Style of Arts and Crafts Tiles" by Jeanne M. Lazzarini originally printed in Style 1900 Vol 8. Number 3. 1995.

Tour postponed 🙁 🙁 🙁
TO: Our Suicidal family, friends, fans, supporters, venues, promoters and media Australia wide.
It is with much regret and disappointment that we are forced to announce we have to cancel and postpone the scheduled November CxMx/IxGx/SxTx tour until further notice.
We would like everyone concerned to know we have not come to this decision lightly and have had to make this difficult decision in the best interests of the fans and supporters, for reasons certainly beyond our immediate control.
The band and crew have been working tirelessly to find ways to circumvent these factors and continue with the tour, but now, unfortunately, we feel it would not be fair to our many fans given the current circumstances, if we went ahead with the tour.
Recent unforeseen events including illness, family commitments and scheduling conflicts have influenced this decision.
As many of you already know, Suicidal Tendencies has rarely ever cancelled shows – this action is only ever taken should circumstance deem it absolutely unavoidable.
Our main focus at the moment is ensuring that when we return to Australia, we do so with full momentum and stay true to everything Suicidal Tendencies represents; past, present and future.
We can't express enough how grateful we are for the support we have enjoyed in Australia over the years and eagerly look forward to our next tour being bigger, better and stronger than ever … and hopefully sooner rather than later.
Again, we thank all involved, especially our many lifelong fans, for their support and their understanding. We offer our assurances that we will be working hard on new dates for Australia as soon as circumstances allow.
