[VIDEO PICK: Off the Post] Richard Swarbrick, an artist, filmmaker and YouTube sensation, has created another short animation, this time capturing classic World Cup goals in exquisite art form. Jurgen Klinsmann's volley for Germany in 1994 against South Korea is part of the brilliant montage that includes, of course, Diego Maradona's 1986 goal against England.
Pele appears setting up Carlos Alberto in the 1970 final in the 2-minute piece that also
includes goals by England's Michael Owen, Italy's Roberto Baggio and Dutchman Dennis Bergkamp.
It's a great reminder of the World
Cup's magical potential. What great golazos will go down in history this time?

Revert CP 1.75 install to 1.74?

Revert CP 1.75 install to 1.74?
July 30th, 2012, 10:59
Okay, so, I bought and installed the GOG version of G3, which includes CP 1.75. Unfortunately, I have a bunch of saves left based on a CP 1.74 install (might have been 1.73 too, don't remember exactly). I lost that install due to a failing hard drive, but I don't want to lose the countless hours I put in those save games and just continue from them.
Is there any way at all to "roll back" the GOG install? Could I just try to install CP 1.74 over it? Is there any other way to be able to play my saves?
Thanks in advance for any insights.

Why won't my "F" keys work? I try to use F1 for help or F11 to make my browser full screen and nothing happens.
My guess is that you have a newer Microsoft or Logitech keyboard. These have something called an "F Lock" key located just above the number keypad on the right side of the keyboard. It allows your Function keys to do more than one operation. If you notice, the top side of the keys probably say "Print", "Undo", "Save", "Reply", etc. while F11 and such are on the front. You may have an indicator light that comes on when you are in normal "F" mode.
When you boot up your computer the F Lock key is off so the keys use their "enhanced" function. What that means is that every time you boot up you need to hit the F Lock key for your Function keys to act normally. I don't know who the genius in Redmond is who came up with that idea. Microsoft offers no way to change this setting.
Keep all this in mind if you need to boot up in safe mode (F8 key) or BIOS (F2 or F10). You must immediately hit F Lock when you turn on your computer, then the function key—hoping that you do it all in time.

Josh Nesbit was a student at Stanford
University preparing for medical school, when two conversations with
a doctor and a community health worker in Malawi changed the course
of his life.
I was doing HIV
research at a clinic in Malawi, in 2007, when I met a doctor who was
covering a catchment area of 100,000 people single-handedly, and a
community health worker who walked 35 miles to the hospital each week
to hand-deliver patient reports, said Nesbit. But he also realized
that he had a better mobile signal at that community health worker's
home than he did in Palo Alto, California. It became clear to him
that this new mobile infrastructure could be harnessed to bridge gaps
and coordinate health care services.
Inspired by volunteer
village health workers in rural Malawi, Medic Mobile was launched in
2009 by Josh Nesbit and three co-founders while they were still
students. According to the organization's website, Medic Mobile
develops technologies such as easy-to-use medical record systems and
SIM card applications to help health workers communicate and
coordinate patient care, and provide diagnostics using low-cost
mobile technology. Medic Mobile believes that well-coordinated and
connected health systems can save lives.
In June 2011, they
announced the first SIM card application for health care, created
with support from The Maternal Health Task Force and PSI. These
applications run on any GSM device, from the simplest US$15 handsets
to smart phones. Using SIM apps, they plan to bring structured
information exchange to the last mile, supporting health
workers and patients. Today, Mobile Medic has over 30 partnerships in
15 countries to improve health care delivery in extremely resource
poor conditions.
An article on the
website of Global Pulse, the international health journal of the
American Medical Student Association, cites World Health Organization
(WHO) estimates a shortfall of 4.3 million health care workers in the
developing world. Medic Mobile believes that the intelligent
deployment of mobile technology can help improve access and outcomes,
even with this lack of health professionals.
Mobile Media now works with more than
30 international and local partners. The group has established
programs in 70% of Malawis districts and implemented projects in
twelve countries in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. The results
continued - drug stock reporting improved from less than 35% to over
80% across 10 districts in Malawi, costs decreased four times and
efficiency increased 112 times for community-level treatment support.

"I LOVE using TinyPrints for all of my party needs, but when it came time to organize my son's 13th birthday party...I didn't know if TinyPrints would have what I was looking for. I could not have been more wrong! In fact, the entire theme came together from this one invitation! We even carried it through to pit crew shirts for all of the guests, postage, and chocolate "tire" cupcakes. I'm sorry I ever doubted you TinyPrints!! And ps, I already found invites for my husband's 40th too!! Thanks again!!"
"My birthday invitations turned out excellent with the help of the Tiny Prints Staff. I had to change the date of the event and their staff was very helpful and responsive. I couldn't ask for better service. Thank-you to the Tiny Prints staff!!"
"This product design was great. I was able to change the back to fit all the information I needed. I was also able to change the entire text to Spanish which was really awesome"
"My daughter was having a sweet 16 and wanted a black and white color scheme. We found lots to chose from.Since we were on a budget we didn't want to spend to much on the invitations. For the price the card was elegant and had lots of room to write the information needed. I just loved the back vintage look as well. Take my word you will not be disappointed."
"I have always been satisfied with TinyPrints, and they did not disappoint me with these invitations either. I loved how I could personalize it to meet my needs. Even though this invitation is a little small, I still think they look great! I love how bright and fun they look! TinyPrints delivery was fast and the invites were packaged very well. I can't wait to put these in the mail and send them out when it is time for my party! Thank you TinyPrints for another great product!"

I have my Video Player in root directory and everything is fine. But when I move files (directory elite_video_player_xml and file elite_video_player.swf) into another folder, my Video Player doesn't work
For example:
Its OK:
Its NOT :
Of course I also change proper XML config file with a new path. What should I do?
PS: Sorry for my English
Thank you for answer:-)
Great question, usually it's because the XML content is loaded into the flash movie through the file structure.
e.g. "load.xml=/www/elite/elite_video_player_xml.xml"
So, if you change the folder name or move folders around, they won't work properly.
Now, consider the fact that I have not seen the file, however this general info should still apply.
Where is the Video that you are playing located?
Most of the files that I have worked on from Flashden, the action script points to the xml within the same directory and not the full url, so simply moving all the contents from one folder to another normally does not matter, but what does matter is how you point to the video file, if you made no change to the xml script when you moved it, it probably wouldnt work, if you did make a change, make sure that it was correct. I would put in the fully qualified url tot eh video path just to see if it was working correctly i.e. http://www.yoursite.com/video/myvideo.flv in your xml file.
I use the elite template and when I move xml files I have to open the fla of the section I am working on and go into the config actionscript and the functions and look for links to the xml and then change them to the corret directory paths.
@SpiderFX I checked with fully qualified url and it's not working, its so strange Do you have another idea?
@unchartedrealms Could you tell me how and where I can find link to that xml file? I know I should run fla in Adobe program but what else? Where is this config action script? I tried to find it but I'm not very good in this program.
Thank you very much for any help:)
yea open the elite video player .fla file inside of adobe flash. Look at your layers in your timeline and look at the layer named config and the layer named functions. Open your Actions panel through the top menu item widows or hit the function key f9 to open the actions panel. With the actions panel open look click on the frame in the timeline that is labled config. At this point you should be scanning through code triworks wrote in the actions panel. YOu are looking for the line that looks like the file name of your xml file. you can do a search of the actions panel by hitting control f and then pasting in the text string you are looking for . hope this helps. you need to find it in the functions keyframe as well. hope this works for you.
Thank you very much <\beer>

It's Time to Man-Up, Mr. President
If you don't have something nice to say about someone, don't say anything at all.
It's a lesson most of us learned as children – but it's one President Obama seems to have forgotten.
The president was engaged in a gripe session about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu with French President Nicolas Sarkozy that was overheard by reporters covering the Group of 20 Summit in southern France.
"Netanyahu, I can't stand him," Sarkozy said to Obama. "He's a liar."
According to the Associated Press, the French interpreter said Obama did not object.
"You are sick of him," President Obama reportedly said. "But I have to work with him every day."
President Obama should have politely instructed President Sarkozy to shove his soufflé where le soleil ne pas brille.
But instead, the president stood by and did nothing – except throw our most trusted ally under the United Nations bus.
The White House was asked to comment on the president's conversation, but a cone of silence has enveloped 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. – a few days too late.
But Israel is buzzing about the American slight.
"Obama is wrong," one reader wrote on the Israeli newspaper Haaretz's website. "We're the ones that have to deal with him every day."
Trust me. We know.
President Obama's disdain for Israel has been well-documented. But this most recent slight has come at a dangerous time.
Last year, Netanyahu was humiliated during a White House visit. The president walked out of a meeting with the Israeli prime minister – refusing to invite him to dinner – or pose for official photographs.
The Times of London reported that the prime minister had received "the treatment reserved for the President of Equatorial Guinea."
Israel's defense minister warned of a possible military strike against Iran's nuclear program. Iran's leaders have vowed to wipe Israel of the face of the Earth.
I'm not an expert on the nuances of international diplomacy, but the next time President Obama has an issue with Israel's prime minister, perhaps he should man up and say it to his face – instead of stabbing him in the back.

The Taxman's Going to Get You!
Even the most sophisticated fraudsters stumble when tax time rolls around.
Brad Sargent
News From the World of Forensic Accounting
When I'm conducting an investigation, I'm often amazed at the level of sophistication perpetrators of fraud employ. I've uncovered schemes that were so intricate that layer upon layer of bad data and creative accounting had to be peeled back in order to get at the truth.
While sophisticated, fraud is often a short-term play that fails to consider the long-term ramifications. Taxes are one of those ramifications.
Consider two distinct and very common cases: Asset misappropriation and income overstatement. Both cause tangible damage to the entity, can quickly rise to the level of criminal behavior, may mean substantial gains for the perpetrator— and have a tax "shoe" waiting to drop years after the fraud is committed.
Asset misappropriation most commonly involves the theft of cash. Of course, it also may involve anything from intellectual property being downloaded onto a portable storage device to inventory walking off a receiving dock. Regardless of the asset, let's think about the accounting. For the sake of my example, we'll only consider assets that are already entered into the accounting system rather than assets diverted prior to being recorded in the books. When assets are reduced, you'll see a credit on the balance sheet. But what's on the other side of the entry? A debit has to go somewhere, but where?
With the theft of cash, we commonly see a bogus expense involving an employee or vendor. In this case, a debit hits the income statement, reducing the entity's profits. Only slightly less obvious is a cost-of-sales debit, with the same impact on profits. Have you ever talked to a business owner who knows they should be making more money but can't figure out what's wrong? Dollars are rolling off the balance sheet and draining the income statement, but why?
Less industrious fraudsters credit the misappropriated asset account and don't have the brass to debit the income statement. Instead, they "re-class" the stolen asset and artificially inflate another asset account. This can go on for only so long before risking exposure. In some cases I've actually seen a reduction to cash and a reduction to payables. Talk about a short-term scheme.
Eventually, most asset thefts end up on the income statement as an understatement of income. The result is less income to distribute and a lower tax obligation. The entity fails to pay tax on actual profit because of the employee theft (an actual loss). Correcting this with the IRS typically doesn't involve a big hit to the entity.
Far more impactful is the case of income overstatement, often committed to deceive stakeholders. At the turn of the millennium, we witnessed mass income overstatement among publicly traded entities, with the goal of meeting and exceeding Wall Street expectations, which in turn kept stock values and market capitalization artificially inflated. Enron, WorldCom/MCI and HealthSouth all aggressively sought tax credits and refunds when their respective frauds came to light, arguing with varying degrees of success that the entity overpaid taxes on artificial income, using shareholder dollars. They contended that, since this income wasn't real, the tax obligation didn't exist and shareholder dollars should be returned to the entity for distribution back to the shareholders.
Many of us recall those days back in 2003 and 2004 with a mix of amusement and disdain. These leviathans created massive amounts of artificial wealth for their shareholders and now wanted more dollars for shareholders as the "victims" of fraud.
More common is the case of overstating income in order to deceive creditors. In this scenario, an entity cooks the books, receives funding it's not qualified to receive and, predictably, goes into default. The bad guys may think they're smart, but often don't consider the tax consequences when the lender actually writes off the bad debt and issues a debt cancellation. Now the fraudster may face both civil and criminal liability, as well as material tax obligations.
Ambitious fraudsters who juice the income statement and secure numerous loans are particularly at risk when this double whammy comes back to bite them down the road. Of course, this is all predicated on the fraud being uncovered and the bad guys being caught.
The basic accounting for income overstatements is a false credit to revenue or to cost of sales. But where do you hide the debit? Putting it on the income statement offsets the credit and defeats the purpose of the fraud. The balance sheet, then, is the logical place; and, in fact, contra-asset accounts are a favorite hiding place. Intercompany accounts also are frequently used as a landing place for the other side of a bogus entry into the general ledger. In an asset-based lending scenario, inflating income and the asset base is a "win-win" for the bad guys and terrible news for the lending institution. Simple audit procedures, such as counts, confirmations and ratio analytics, ultimately can expose massive income overstatements. If you're a business owner with concerns about your profits, try these basic audit procedures.
If you're a fraudster looking to prolong your fraud, think twice about the unforeseen tax consequences of your acts. You may pay far more than you think!

Repair Panamax Power Conditioner?
Not sure if this is the right forum....
My Panamax 1500 Power conditioner no longer works correctly. All lights are on and look OK, but it repeatedly cycles on and off.
Anyone have any idea what goes wrong in these and if it is DIY-repairable?

Subaru WRX Forum (http://www.wrxtuners.com/forums/)
Tranny Swap
I am going to look into getting an STI trans.
What years would fit in my car?
P.S. Looking for an STI trans is anyone knows let me know, could be blown doesnt matter, going to build it anyways
Wow! Stupid, why didn't you just buy an STI in the first place.
Don't mean to come off too harsh, but I've read your build thread. Looks like you should have just bought one of those.
I also saw that you're "sponsored", if it's a legit sponsor, they'll she'll out for it. Or should.
Whaoo Riceburner, chill out. First off, not everyone can afford the newer gen (08+) STi's and it's actually cheaper to get the WRX and Swap in a STi Transmission.
Also not every sponsor will just go out and shell out money for your mod's.
In all honesty you are calling him stupid, when in reality your making yourself look that way.
To the OP. I believe any STi Drivetrain 08+ will match up.
I also am looking to go STi Trans once I buy my Built Block (After I reach 320-350whp)
What happened there.
Like a famous man named Joey once said.... Whoa!!!
RiceBurner, get off this forum and go to nasioc where you belong, this isn't a place for your crap! Also it's called built not bought!
And exactly as sub14wrx said things didn't happen at the time where I have the money to buy an Sti that was a newer gen.
So anything 08+ should fit?
Yes with the help of other items it will bolt in.
Here is what I found on Google, could have found it here using the search button too.
This swap done right is still going to cost you the 10 you didn't have before though Nate.
It's going to cost you more than buying an STi over the Wrx too.
So I understand where rice burner is coming from.
Think about it. You'll have the tranny in the Wrx at the 32-36k cost.
But still won't have the other STi goodies.
So if you go to a full STi parts swap, it will probably run around 40k.
If you look hard enough you can get the transmission cheap and still in great condition. Just have to find the right spots.
[url=http://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-SUBARU-IMPREZA-WRX-STI-6-SPEED-TRANSMISSION-DIFFERENTIAL-TY856UW1MA-42K-/370899955761?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item565b5c3031&vxp=mtr]2008 Subaru Impreza WRX STI 6 Speed Transmission Differential TY856UW1MA 42K | eBay[/url]
$4,000 comes with trans, rear dif, shifter assembly.
I don't know if you'd need anything else.
This is for guys that have a wrx and wants to do a 6-speed swap.
I know there is a large number of swaps that have been done with all kinds of year and there are some differences with each. I just think with a superior design the Sti transmission is a great option for those needing something that can hold some more power. While it may not be indestructible, it is still a HUGE improvement over the WRX 5 speed glass box. Other upgrades include the RA gear set for mild power, M-Factory, MTR gears, Kaz gears and of course PPG gears. There are a fantastic selection of products not only for the WRX 5 speed but also for the Sti 6 speed available from a variety of companies. . So here goes:
04 USDM Sti 6 speed:

*For those wanting to use the R180 but not switch out the hubs, Apparently driveshaftshop.com offers custom axles (pricey) that allow you to retain the wrx hubs while using the R180 rear end.
** DCCD controller options...seems a member on here Spider? is making one for around $150, others go up from there. Without going to an Sti ECU it does not appear to be able to be used as a fully automatic setting, but Spiider's and the Neetronic units seem to get close. Then there is the 100% lock up with a toggle switch. I am unsure as to how soon this could kill the DCCD, but who knows it could last forever! Some sites with controllers:

*** There may be a difference between the 05 axles and the 02-04 axles on the WRX. There may have been a change to the axle and some 05 wrx might be able to use their stock axles. I have not verified this, just read some threads suggesting it.
****The shifter boot is suggested, but not necessarily an absolute must. The old shift boot can be reused with some modification and work. Shift knob is the same, it can be reused if necessary, but not the best option. Thread about this located here see post #66.
Parts and numbers for some of the parts:
32000-AJ350 2007 STi transmission
805329010 Circlips need 2
38415AA110 stubs need 2
806730041 oil seal Left and right side are different
806730042 oil seal Left and right are different
C1010FE004 short shifter
35046FE010 -shifter joint
633046020-spring pin
Ok guys im currently doing an 08 sti trans swap into my 02 wrx. Ive searched alot for alot of questions about the differences between the 04 to 07 trans and the 08+ - some i have found and some i still have yet to find. So i figure id start a new thread about the new 08+ transmissions. If anyone has any info to add please do and i will update this.
Trans - duh
-04 to 07 are direct fit
-08 can be used - it must be shortened - read below vvvv
Axle stubs, seals, and circlips to reuse your front wrx axles
-can also use 04 to 07 sti axles if you have the supporting hubs*** - 08 axles are too long i believe
6 speed clutch, flywheel, and fork
- 5 speed clutch and flywheel will NOT work - i tried
Can reuse all the rear end driveline if it is a wrx with a 3.54 rear end (02 to 04?) i believe
- If 05 wrx and up (other than 3.54 rear) you will either need to:
- swap to a 3.54 rear diff
- swap out your ring and pinion
- swap to the sti (06? and up) rear end (3.54)
- this one will require in the rear the sti axles, hubs, brembos, and rear sti suspension assy
Linkage form an 04 to 07 sti - this is the easiest - buy one
- the 08 one may be able to made fit but it will require extensive shortening and *may* throw off your shifter position - dont be cheap
08 trans mount and support works just fine
slave cylinder and starter can be reused
After completing the swap and if you plan on running without any sort of speed sense signal input to your ecu (aka speedo reads 0mph all the time), you must reflash the ecu to disable the code and the rev limiter. Since there is no speed input, the ecu thinks that the car is standing still and it employs a rev limiter for "neutral mode" which means that you wont be able to rev over 5k. If you are fluent with romraider then im sure you can take care of it, if not see your local tuner and let them do it. The obd code for the "vehicle speed sensor A" must be disabled along with the "neutral rev limiter". This is in a different catagory - i believe its in the limits catagory. Again - these two must be disabled and reflash the ecu if you plan on driving the car without a speed input.
I think thats it - please let me know if I forgot something
1. What are the diff ratios in the 08+ transmissions?
The diff ratios are unchanged from 2007 - thanks to dylan @ DS1. It runs a 3.90 in the front and a 3.54 in the rear which yields a 1.1 center. Strait swap into the bugeye wrx if you dont plan to swap the rear diff right away.
2. Are there any changes to the gear ratios from 07?
I have yet to find a subaru transmission chart with the 08 specs on it but another member on here has found some info about the internals in the 08 sti transmissions. as far as he can see there are some changes to small things but the ratios appear to be the same. here is the link - [url]http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/show....php?t=1443215[/url]
3. Are there any changes to the housing or overall case size?
No it is still the same overall size as previous years.
4. Are there any changes to the wheelbase length in 08 to affect the driveshaft length?
Yes - Ive found that from 02 to 07 the wheelbase length is 100 inches. In 2008 it was LENGTHENED to 103.3 inches. This will explain why my 02 wrx 5 speed ds and the 08 sti ds are the same IDENTICAL length when laid next to each other. The 08 sti ds can be made to work - it needs to be shortened vvv.
5. Can an 04 to 07 sti driveshaft be used with an 08 sti tranny?
Yes - you will need to find a ds from an 04 to 07 sti or from an automatic impreza.
****** Also - If you are in my place where the 08 driveshaft that came with your 08 trans is in super awesome shape and you dont wanna risk paying good money for someone elses ds that you dont know what condition the u joints are in, the 08 ds can be shortened and made to fit. If you decide to shorten your 08 sti ds -
**** the front half must be shortened 3 inches and the back half must be shortened 0.5 inches****
You must also modify the center bearing bracket cause it is a slightly different shape in 08. the drivers side of the bracket must be "bent" so that it is higher than the passenger side - if you look at the mounting holes you will understand. in 08 the centerbearing bracket is nearly flat.
6. Can the 08 shifter assy be used in an earlier model when doing a swap?
No - The shifter linkage along with the brace bar underneath are too long. It seems that the hole cut under the center colsole for the shifter assy has been moved backwards in 08 to cause the linkages to be longer. You will need an sti shifter assy from an 04 to 07.
7. When doing a swap to a wrx with female front axles, can the same axle stubs and seals be used as if it was an 07 trans?
Yes - I installed the seals and stubs with circlips in the trans and all went smooth and looks good.
805329010 - Circlips x2
38415AA110 - Stubs - x2
806730041 - Oil seal left
806730042 - Oil seal right
633046020 - Spring pin x2
8. Are there any changes to the trans fluid and rear diff fluids needed?
No - I contacted the dealer on this. The dealer told me they use valvoline 80w90 in the trans and the house blend subaru lsd oil in the rear diff.
9. The 08 trans doesnt have a dipstick anymore?????
True - there is a plug where the dipstick should be. the filling process is to open both plugs underneath and let it drain completely, then fill is with the specified amount of oil - which i believe is 4.3 qts per the dealer. Also the dealer will tell you that after you put in your 4.3 qts, the level should be near the hole where you can touch it by sticking your finger in there - WRONG!!!! After 7 qts i was able to see the level in the hole with a light and it was still about 4 to 5 inches below the hole! There is a second plug on the driver side of the trans near the front that when it is opened and 4.5 qts is poured in, the oil level will be level with this hole. There is an illustration in the link below.
**** It seems that Deuce Cam has found an 08 tranny diagram and filling procedure on another site ---> [url=http://www.iwsti.com/forums/how-inst...-change-3.html]Subaru Impreza WRX STI Forums: IWSTI.com - The Largest Subaru STi Specific Forum in the World![/url]
^ got that from slcsubaru
Most of that info came from nasioc originally.
I just read, copied and pasted
Prob cheaper to just go PPG Internals on the 5 Speed.
Biggest issue keeping the 5speed wrx trans is that you have a lot more case flex over the Sti trans
Are you looking to track hard or rally Nathan?
Don't forget.
Axles, hubs and mounts- group N or better.
There's another easy grand

A one-time South Florida commitment, the 6-foot-3, 170-pound combo guard from Garland's Naaman Forest High School averaged 11.3 points, 4.9 rebounds, 4.1 assist and two steals per game. He was teammates both at Naaman Forest and on the Top Achievers Pistons with fellow Texas signee Prince Ibeh, and the duo helped the Rangers to a 29-8 record this past season, and a trip to the Class 5A state semifinals, where they fell to the eventual state champions from Flower Mound Marcus.
"Demarcus brings versatility to our backcourt and improves our skill level and ballhandling," said Texas coach Rick Barnes.
He also brings toughness. Holland, who has been compared to former Texas standout Royal Ivey, excels at filling a stat sheet in whichever way his team needs him to that particular night to have a chance at the victory. And according to Top Achievers coach Lawrence Mann, Holland spent the last two AAU seasons taking all the tough shots as the game wound down, even at times over more senior players.
Holland's main strength though, as Barnes said, is his versatility. He's athletic and long enough to play on the wing, but will likely be groomed as a point-guard-in-development. That should allow the Longhorns cover at multiple positions.
Holland is not currently ranked by Scout.com.

Mob mentality refers to the behavioral tendency of people (or other social animals) to act in unison with the group of which they are a part. This is an evolutionary adaptation that provides the mechanism for collective intelligence, but also explains how morally reprehensible consensus can form. Behaviors ranging from gang rapes and beatings to the extermination of an entire people group.
Human beings tend to exhibit very unique behaviors or habits once they're in a group. Some sociologists call it "herd behavior" but it is more often described as "mob mentality." Interestingly, it's not just humans that behave that way. Flocks of birds and herds of animals have all exhibited similar behavior.
The word "mob" has many negative connotations. One imagines a wild and aggressive crowd, feeding on each other's panic (hence the other alternative term "crowd hysteria"). Certainly, sociologists and psychologists studying mob mentality have often focused on things like violent demonstrations or even the madness that can often ensue in evacuations, stampedes and crisis situations. There are also famous cases of people growing violent in something as mundane as a shoe sale. Thus, mob mentality has often become attached to the idea of human selfishness and competitiveness. Sometimes it is linked to desperation, such as people who will fight tooth and nail to access relief supplies, or rioting in the streets because of total terror.
However, mob mentality goes far beyond the study of "crazy crowds." It studies, for example, the difference when people are in small crowds or big crowds, and what these social scientists have found is that the behavior is subject to several influences. The information they gathered has been quite useful in creating safety strategies or even studying and predicting the stock market (i.e., the response of shareholders when viewing an erratic market shift). It has also been used to study political or cultural phenomena, such as the rise of Anti Semitism or the genocide in Rowanda, allowing governments and other organizations to take measures in preventing such kind of movements from occurring again.

The QPR boss has expressed his uncertainty over the situation regarding West Brom's want-away Nigerian striker who has admitted he would like to move to Loftus Road
The Hoops had an improved bid for the Nigeria international over the weekend, and Redknapp also spoke about Odemwingie's Twitter rant aimed at Baggies fans, claiming it could make a deal harder to finalise
"I don't know [whether the transfer will go ahead]. It's a bit of a difficult situation for West Brom. It's not worked in an ideal way.
"The whole situation has become a bit too public, hasn't it? I am sure West Brom are not too happy with the way it's gone.
"We made an enquiry. The enquiry leaked out and obviously the player decided he wanted to come to London and that's how it has worked out.
"I think too many people get involved in Twitter."

I observed an interesting Wally's World Employee this last weekend while waiting in the car for my wife to do some quick shopping.
The employee was pushing carts into the building as he was passing close to my vehicle. I noticed that he was wearing black jeans in hot weather, which usually screams possible mall ninja to me for some reason. Then I noticed he had a buck knife holster on his belt, which was right above a tacticle folder on his weakside pocket. I continued to watch as he walked past, and I noticed a maxpedition like belt pouch on his strong side at about 4 o'clock that I have seen people use for small pistol concealment. Then (I had to double take on this one) I observed an ASP in a holster at about 3' o'clock, in front of his belt pouch.
I couldn't help but laugh at the situation. This guy was carrying a wide array of tools/weapons in plain site, but using careful enough blending that no one was noticing. In fact, I wouldn't have noticed so quickly had he not had the buck knife holster on, which was brown and did not blend with his mode of dress. Everything else was black and consequently just melted away into the color of his black jeans. He was wearing the required yellow safety vest for cart pushers, and he had it flared out where it just broke up the outlines and made it all seem normal.
And no, I do not believe this guy was some kind of security. He didn't come anywhere close to fitting the typicle profiles of someone who would be, starting with the 2 foot long ponytail and the otherwise sloppy stature of the indidual. When my wife returned to the car, I pointed him out and she looked him over for a few seconds. She just shook her head and commented at how amazing it is to do so little blending, and yet have it work so perfectly.

Pulse aggregates some of the best stories based on interests you select when you launch the app.
I really only got the CNN app for my iPhone because it's just about the only one that's been redone to take advantage of the iPhone 5's taller size (or so I thought). After a few drinks recently night with some new friends, one of them brought up some news that none of us had heard yet. He whipped out his iPhone and launched Pulse, and ever since, I've been hooked.
I read a lot of articles on a lot of topics, from NASA to the Wall Street Journal, to Car and Driver. Pulse aggregates some of the best stories based on interests you select when you launch the app. The best part is, the sign-up process is ridiculously easy. Simply tap what you're interested in, sign in with Facebook, and boom, you've got enough news to make even the fastest speed-reader busy for days.
Speaking of Facebook, Pulse shares a similar(ish) style to the social networking giant. Think Facebook (side menu) meets drunk Pinterest (horizontal scrolling instead of vertical) meets Twitter (the "Add Content" button follows you everywhere, you know you want to tap it). It's the simplicity of the app that makes it so fun.
I can't say why I've never been a fan of traditional RSS feed style news that is similar to Pulse. All I know is Pulse solves my need to have 10 tabs with 10 news sites open anytime I want to find something interesting in the world.

You see I am not convinced that the "Freemium" model is actually the "next big thing" that the blog-o-sphere is hyping it up to be. Certainly a large number of apps are being shifted under that banner. But then … Read More

Good one Carl!
There will be no nursing home in my future. When I get old and feeble, I am going to get on a Princess Cruise Ship. The average cost for a nursing home is $200 per day. I have checked on reservations on a Princess and I can get a long term discount and senior discount price of $135 per day. That leaves $65 a day for:
1. Gratuities which will only be $10 per day.
2. I will have as many as 10 meals a day if I can waddle to the restaurant, or I can have room service (which means I can have breakfast-in-bed every day of the week).
3. Princess has as many as three swimming pools, a workout room, free washers and dryers, and shows every night.
4. They have free toothpaste and razors, and free soap and shampoo.
5. They will even treat you like a customer, not a patient. An extra $5 worth of tips will have the entire staff scrambling to help you.
6. I will get to meet new people every 7 or 14 days.
7. T.V. broken? Light bulb need changing? Need to have the mattress replaced? No Problem! They will fix everything and apologize for your inconvenience.
8. Clean sheets and towels every day, and you don't even have to ask for them.
9. If you fall in the nursing home and break a hip you are on Medicare; if you fall and break a hip on the Princess ship they will upgrade you to a suite for the rest of your life.
Now hold on for the best! Do you want to see South America , the Panama Canal , Tahiti , Australia , New Zealand , Asia , or name where you want to go?
Princess will have a ship ready to go. So don't look for me in a nursing home, just call shore to ship.
ps: And don't forget, when you die, they just dump you over the side -- at no charge.
I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine. - Ayn Rand
My wife works with getting elderly people nursing home assistance. I am going to show her this to give her another option.

Paying off my Blazer in two days!!
I can NOT wait! My Blazer will be paid in full on Thursday! I am so excited for what that will mean for us. 347.00 extra dollars a month! Getting a couple of smaller bills paid off in just a couple more months. Some breathing room! Whoo hoo!
And just in time too. If things with the job continue the way they have yesterday and today I may be quitting by the end of the week. Simply can NOT and will NOT tolerate someone else's child being in my home disrespecting me and my family and causing so much disruption.
Congrats on paying off the Blazer!! It's always a big relief when car payments are gone. We paid off our truck 2 1/2 years early and it is so nice to not have to think about that again! Hope you have better days with the daycare aspect. Can be very stressful.08-07-2012, 07:24 PM #3

I might have to bake a cake to celebrate! It's one of a long list of things we are trying accomplish this year. We have paid off three credit cards and now my Blazer in the last couple of years. Still have our camper and a small bank loan and two very small store credit cards to go. And the house still has years left on it. I'm hoping to get the two small credit cards paid off by the end of the year and we have a couple of home improvement things that need doing ASAP!08-08-2012, 09:02 AM #9

yeah, thats what i was thinking. thanks bkbt. appreciate it. i got worried that i maybe did it all wrong haha.
yeah, thats what i was thinking. thanks bkbt. appreciate it. i got worried that i maybe did it all wrong haha.
yeah i guess im worried about it being too dull then. with all the lights on and a flash it looks kind of shiny. i guess its too late to remove some huh?
It looks fine to me. You don't want it too shiny.
Looks great dude, keep it up!
I agree - looks good to me.
IF you want to remove it, I found that if you use a buffer wheel - the buffer will actually buff it off... found that out on accident.
Why is it that the more I rub the R&B the dirtier it looks. It look shiny but dirty.
I found this and the only thing I could think is uneven primer underneath or dust from sanding the primer that gets into the R N B
Great looking Jango so far RJ!
I'm going to be putting on the pinstripes this week, but i wasnt entirely convinced that the rnb was done right. I know i've already asked your opinion, but i wanted to see if you still felt the same after these pictures. granted its under halogen light with and without flash. I just dont want it to look silly you know? what do you guys think?
again, really sorry for the constant worry. I don't want super shiny. But i'm looking at reference pictures and can't decide if its just the lighting in the film, or if his armor really was a lot shinier than i made mine. just want to make sure its all cool before moving forward. i think sometimes when i take pictures of it you can't really see how dull the end actually is
Last edited by runJEDIrun; Jan 21, 2009 at 7:49 PM.
I would get a clean old t-shirt (cause it will be ruined) and try to polish it more. I mean skip the gym that day and rub the living lights out of it. Keep flipping to a clean spot. That's what I did. Here's a pic of mine after. It took about 10 minutes per piece. I tried to stay consistant with direction and not wipe all over in different directions.
Jango 5204: It looks good, but I would not because the movie armor didn't look that "shiny", we're not talking 'silver', but rather 'alumin(i)um'. As was said in the Boba Fett book "The Fight to Surive", Jango cleaned his armor after every job but NEVER polished it. Something about "not drawing attention to yourself", which sounds logical. An armor that reflects all lights will draw attention to you, so in my eyes, it has the silver color, but not the shine.
it dulls out with time and sweat.
hey man, beautiful armor. yeah, id like to be somewhere in the middle i think
Big suprise in the mail! Now i have to get to work on modifying them.
flight suit and flak vest on the way.
Good luck and have fun!
Good to see that there wasn't too much of a delay on the boots being delivered.
I'm sure that it won't take you too long to get them all modified/Jangofied.
hey man youre doing a great job! i think your armor is fine...you will get some spots that are a tad less shiny with r&b...don't sweat it..it adds character and you'll want to put some weathering on the edges anyway...looks good...im ordering some of those boots this coming week. how do you find the sizes to be...do they fit big or tight?
I'd also like to know how they fit too.
As for your armor, I find that the true test is to take it outside and look at it in the sunlight. Then you'll see its true brilliance. 8)
But it looks just fine.
Hey JD and Jango, Thanks for the comments! They are great boots but from what i can tell they don't do 1/2 sizes, and that kind of sucked for me. On the Journeys site it does say that it fits true to your shoe size (mine is size 10) and i based it off my chuck taylors. I read one of the reviews and the guy said everything fit good width wise but the length ran about a 1/2 a size too big for him which it did for me too. Ideally i wish i could have gotten the non-existent 9.5 and with it running 1/2 a size too big, it would have fit me perfect. So since there was some heel slipage i just put on some thicker socks and it fit like a glove. I didn't want to chance getting one size too small since they are not available online and backordered. I think i waited 3 or 4 weeks? Otherwise they are a beaut.
I just checked out the boots at Journeys, They are now on sale $20 cheaper than when I picked them up. on;y $59.99
Thanks for the tip bud, muchly appreciate it.
Still gotta wait until I can front the cash though, still recouping from Christmas.

Obama to Honor the Miami Heat for Being the Most Awesome Basketball Team on the Planet, Again
As you may recall, the Miami Heat completely obliterated the entire NBA last year en route to its second-consecutive championship (third overall for the franchise).
So, as is custom in this great nation of ours, the president of the United States of America will be honoring the Heat at the White House on Tuesday afternoon for being awesome.
While there, LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh, and the boys will also pay a visit to wounded warriors from the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center, which is all kinds of coolness.
See also: Obama Welcomes Miami Heat to the White House
The Heat are scheduled to meet with Barack Obama at 2:45 (EST) on Tuesday, where they'll listen to him make bad jokes and then present him with a jersey he'll never wear.
During last year's visit, the President had some fun at Mario Chalmers' expense, much to the delight of Heat Nation, when he reminded him how LeBron and the guys always yell at him.
He also revealed to the rest of the nation the magic mystery awesomeness that are Chris Bosh's videobombs, making it the only time in U.S. history when the word "bomb" was used in a fun way. Well, except for maybe during the Bush administration.
The best memory of last year's visit was LeBron's genuine excitement at meeting the President for the presentation, and saying, "We just want to thank you for the hospitality, for allowing us to be, I mean, in the White House. I mean, we're in the White House! I mean, we're kids from Chicago and Dallas, Texas, and Michigan and Ohio and South Dakota -- Miami. And we're in the White House right now. This is like, 'Hey, Mama, I made it!'"
It was a fun moment.
But none will ever be as fun, or give the world all the high-comedy moments, as when the 2006 Heat championship team visited then-President George W. Bush.
It's the most unintentional Saturday Night Live sketch ever.

Divine Secrets
The trained technicians at Divine Secrets aim to make beauty a bit less fleeting. They work to streamline daily routines and enhance natural beauty with permanent makeup, also known as cosmetic tattooing. With careful, steady hands, staff members apply pigments to the eyelids, lips, and eyebrows with their digital Nouveau tattoo machine. They fully vet each possible client to ensure that they're eligible, and use sterile equipment and standard precautions to avoid cross-contamination and pathogens. As permanent eyeliner, lip liner, or lip shading is applied, topical and local anaesthetics ward off pain. After each treatment, technicians counsel clients on how to best care for the sensitive area during the healing process.
