I also prefer the ‘Alex’ voice, and usually set it at the speed the presenter shows. He uses command-x for the keystroke command, which I would think is a no-no, because it’s the standard ‘cut’ command. I use control-s instead.

[UPDATE October 2016] I’ve been using this option pretty much daily ever since posting this in 2013. It’s worked fine in all of the browsers I’ve tried. But recently, in Apple’s Safari browser (all other browsers I’ve tried are fine), the sound muffles slightly when videos are speeded up. The speed boost still works in Safari. I sometimes use it anyway, but for best playback audio quality, browsers other than Safari are preferred. Browsers I’ve tried that have excellent sound quality when speed boosted are Firefox, Chrome and Opera.
Also, I recently posted this: HOW TO CHANGE THE PLAYBACK SPEED OF A YOUTUBE VIDEO (tutorial)

How To Speed Up Videos
[…]
Speeding up Online Videos
Most times, I was trying to speed up videos that I was viewing on the web. In these instances, the best program I’ve found is Enounce MySpeed . It’s a small app that monitors online videos. If the tool detects that it can adjust the video speed, it displays a small slider. This slider allows you to adjust video playback speed within a set range from .3x to 5x.
[…]
Speeding up YouTube Videos
If your primary goal is to speed up YouTube videos, there’s a free option in testing. You’ll have to sign up for the YouTube HTML5 trial and use a supported browser. You can see in the screen snap below, the YouTube interface is slightly different than in my previous example. The speed control is built into the bottom portion of the video frame. Clicking the Speed button opens a menu where you can increase the video playback from .25x to 2x.
As the speed feature is still in testing, it doesn’t work on all online videos. Some known limitations include full screen videos and videos with ads. There may be additional issues if you’re testing other YouTube features.
Using Windows Media Player to Speed Up Videos
Sometimes the video you want to speed up is a movie you’ve downloaded to your computer such as an .avi, .wmv or .mp4 file. In this case, I would use Windows Media Player enhancements. The free program is included with most versions of Microsoft Windows and you can download the newest version from their site .
[…]
Using QuickTime Player to Speed Up Videos
Another popular video player is Apple’s free QuickTime video player that is bundled with iTunes. It plays .mov, .mp4, .avi and MPEG-1 files. Like Windows Media player, it also allows you to adjust the speed on videos you’ve downloaded to your PC.

Rodney’s San Francisco gallery is the largest single artist gallery in the world!
I’m a big fan, having been to three of his four galleries, multiple times!
Quirky sense of humor…

becoming an artist was probably not the smartest move.”

“Enrich people’s lives through nature — that’s what I’m seeking to do. …
It only works because I have the passion.”

“Remember we were talking earlier about talent? I’ve actually looked through a lot of other people’s cameras through the years, and some people absolutely have it, and some people don’t. And I can’t explain why that is, other than this concept of we all have different talents, right?
But I’ve had five, six people on this side of me [left], five, six people on this side of me [right]. We’re all looking at the same thing, and I go look at their cameras, and every single one of them is different. It’s really unique, actually. It’s kind of fun.”

Rodney has been traveling to the ends of the earth and weathered all types of climates, in a quest to find nature’s most exquisite terrains to photograph. Equipped with his Dodge 4×4 turbo biodiesel truck, Lance camper, 26′ Custom Jet Boat, camera and tripod — Rodney is determined to obtain that perfect image of Mother Nature at her best. From the sweltering dry deserts of the American Southwest to the Rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, from waist-deep snow fields of the great Alaska wilderness to the frigid peaks of the Rocky Mountains, Rodney has survived everything the earth has thrown at him. He’s even survived a fall off a 30 foot cliff!
Renowned for the vibrant colors and vivid textures of his wilderness and landscape photography, Rodney is a purist who captures what nature creates, using no color filters or darkroom deception. The world today is a remarkable place full of beauty and splendor,” Rodney exclaims. “To witness the simple grandeur of creation, the miracle of nature, is perhaps all that we need. The peace received while viewing a leaf turned color at the height of fall is immense and divine.”
As far as I know, I’ve never had a dream about anything like this before.
I was standing near a small group of people (maybe four) who had shotguns, and I thought they were hunting rabbits; though, it was on a rocky shoreline where rabbits usually wouldn’t be seen.
They were all standing on top of a 30-foot-long, 15-foot-high rock outcropping, but one lady walked back onto land, and stood on my right. I looked where they were looking and spotted two ‘rabbits.’ The woman next to me raised her shotgun, and a guy on the rock aimed down at them too.
The ‘animals’ didn’t move quickly like rabbits, and stayed upright as they lowered themselves into the water. Then I realized the one had what looked almost like a human head, round and much bigger than a rabbit’s head would be, and not much hair. That’s when I semi-yelled: “humans!” But if they were fully human I would have screamed. No one shot, and they didn’t say a word.
Then I saw the manimal family in a hollowed out rock with a large opening on the side. It looked like about six of them. Two in the center were much bigger and had humanlike round heads. But they clearly weren’t even close to fully human.
When I awoke, I pondered what I had just seen, and thought of Jesse Ventura’s ‘Manimal’ episode of ‘Conspiracy Theory’ that aired recently, which I’m including below. The show goes into the evidence that part man/part animal creatures are being bred, and this has probably been going on for quite some time.
Apparently, it’s important enough for us to be aware of, which was why I was given this dream. They’re not just breeding salmon with eel to get the ‘frankenfish’ the FDA has already partially approved.

I just had a personal prayer breakthrough, praying towards the root of improper concepts that are putting people to sleep to a degree that I probably never have before.
There are people who pray against (James-3 curse) people to not investigate various concepts and/or even events to see what is really going on — to keep people in the dark: the situation we’re really in with God for not caring about what we’ve done and supported overseas in these wars is just one example. I was watching a documentary on Abu Ghraib when I got the idea to pray more thoroughly about this than ever before. And that led to prayers about other “Schultz – ‘I know nothing; I see nothing; I hear nothing'” blockages.
I can post truth every day, but if people feel compelled to look the other way because others have ‘prayed’ that they would close their hearts….
There are bullies and scoffers who want people to be in the dark, for whatever reason about many things. We don’t have to know who the truth stoppers are, but we can pray for whomever they are to set many free!

This ends my Cargo’s Last Stand photos for now — especially those shot from the inside of the operation. Though, I’m sure there will be some others to add later.
About 500 photos are in the Cargo’s Last Stand category. You’re welcome to download any for non-commercial use. Right-click on the image and click on “Save Image As” (or similar).
If you’d like to only see NWA/Delta photos, they’re all in my Cargo’s Last Stand category.
Before Delta bought us out, the NWA PHOTOS START ON PAGE 12.
To fine tune your starting point, a good way is to scroll to the bottom of the page and click on “Older posts.” Then you can replace the number ‘2’ with any number you’d like in the address bar in the top of your browser. Currently, the first Cargo’s Last Stand entries are 32 pages back (this number could increase if I add more photos someday).
So the beginning point is here: http://jefffenske.com/category/cargos-last-stand/page/32/. And then go forward in time (Not available in this new configuration) by clicking on “Previous Page” at the bottom of each page.
There is a Search Engine:
In most cases, I’ve named people in the photos by their first name. So you might be able to find people that way.
To be notified by email every time I add a post on this blog, there is a box in the right column that says: “Follow Blog via Email.” I’ll be giving some personal updates, as well as posting some of my favorite posts from my other two blogs, linked on the top of the right column. I’m also on Facebook: facebook.com/ONEcanhappen
If you leave my Cargo’s Last Stand category, I am into reality, and hopefully you are too : ) There is a saying that religion and politics should never be discussed, but that’s what the dark side wants. And that’s how they’ve been able to take over America, which is on its last leg, sadly. How can America survive if we don’t figure out what is really going on, narrowing our conversation to things that don’t really matter: sports, Hollywood, etc.? In the meantime, the corruption in the government and in the corporations is fully evident, and some have even lost their jobs.

This note was to us ESEs, before Delta took us over,
when we were closed for a few hours each night
It kind of speaks now.
The opposite of the Motel 6 jingle:
We’ll leave the light on.

In Memoriam
12/31/12
In memory of our jobs…
Of all of the many types of equipment we operated over the years, inside and outside, the small propane powered forks were my favorite vehicles to drive.
The massive Taylor had amazing torque and power, but these little babies were quick and agile — feeling more like being one with the machine!
In these photos that I’m in, I had 10 seconds to click the shutter and run into the photo. Running to and jumping on the Taylor was a hoot.
I’m too somber when I shoot myself. Sorry.

When Delta told us our jobs were being outsourced, they offered the option of transferring to open positions in the lower 48, which is where Don B. (on the forklift here) elected to go.
