nivo slider loading problem

Hello,
I'm very new to Fuel, so you may need a little more patience for me than most. ( 12hr new )

I Find fuel awesome, been using the demo and just extending it in certain area's, learning the ropes and what not.

What I'm trying to do now is simple.. I know, but I use nivo slider to display a few images and text in a slider, the css loads fine, images load fine and some of the javascript loads but I think I may be having problems with jQuery.

I have the scripts called in a _blocks/head
then further down the page
I have the html slideshow content loaded _blocks/slideshow

The CSS Call
css('styles,nivo-slider')

The JS Call
js('jquery.prettyPhoto,jquery.easing.1.3,jquery.nivo.slider,functions'

Interesting to know if any one else has tryed nivo

You can see nivo in action here: http://nivo.dev7studios.com/demos/
download it here: http://nivo.dev7studios.com/pricing/

Grab the jQuery plugin, it's free.

Later I want to be able to make a backend interface for this where you can add slides or change slides that being Image and text. Should be very easy to complete and would be kinda cool for everyone

Oh oh, important note, this was tried and tested before trying to get this to work with fuel.
