The toys that came out in the 1970’s seemed to come out of nowhere and were often unlike anything people had seen before. Though the Star War’s action figures were simply variations of a theme, the success of the movie – and all the resulting toys – came as a surprise to many. This is why they were completely unprepared for the Christmas season toy boom in 1977 and following years. 
The immense success of Star Wars came out of nowhere. Those who worked in the film did not and could not have expected the level of success that the movie would have. The action figures for characters from the movie, along with other merchandise really took the world by storm. The 1970s toys were about more than just Star Wars, though.
Video game enthusiasts give Atari praise for the creation of the Atari VCS 2600, which was released in 1977. The 2600 included the game Pong. Computers had begun to grow in popularity and power in the 1970s, and Atari set forth to create the first home video game systems. Pong quickly gained cult status with video game nerds everywhere. It really ushered in the modern era of gaming before it was taken over in popularity by Nintendo in a later decade.
The Rubik’s cube was first created in 1977, and within 5 years, over 100 million of the toys were sold. The simple toy was a brain buster and was a great challenge to complete when it first came out. Since then, it has become a mark of honor to be able to complete the puzzle. A cult following of people who have made solving the cube into a sport, challenging themselves to solve it in as little time as possible. This is still popular in certain segments of society.

Modern Toys
In 8,000 years of civilization, playing has never been such an in-grained part of life for people, adults and children. Life was so focused upon domestic work, agricultural work, and military endeavors, that adults and kids never had the time or the energy for play. But, with the industrial revolution, people have more free time [...]

1930s Toys: Improving Economy = Better Toys
The U.S. economy in the 1930’s was a complete flip from what had been seen in earlier decades. Manufacturing techniques were getting better, materials were getting cheaper and more durable, but now people did not have the money to purchase these new toys. The Viewmaster did not come about until the end of the decade [...]

I'm just curious, is the Mr. T thing and the twin thing all inspired by me?
I'll answer the questions later. I gotta eat dinner right now.
Edit: umm… I don't think I know any. I just noticed it's Queen.
(1) ax + by = a-b …………..eq 1
bx + ay = a-b
Form eq 1, we get the value of (a-b)
Therefore, bx + ay = ax + by
or, bx – ax = by – ay
or, x (b-a) = y (b-a)
Crossing (b-a) from both sides, we get
x = y
Putting the value of x in eq 1
ax + bx = a-b
or x (a+b) = a-b
or x = (a-b)/(a+b)
and y = (a-b)/(a+b)
(2) ax + y = b…………….eq1
bx + ay = 2ab – a^3 (^ means to the power)
or bx + ay = a (2b – a^2)………eq2
back to eq1,
ax + y = b
or y = b – ax…………eq3
Putting the value of y in eq2
bx + a(b-ax) = a{2(b-ax) – a^2)}
or bx + ab – (a^2)x = a(2b – 2ax – a^2)
…………………………= 2ab – 2(a^2)x – a^3
or bx + ab – (a^2)x -2ab + 2(a^2)x + a^3 = 0
or bx – ab + (a^2)x + a^3 = 0
or a^3 + x(a^2) – ab = -bx
now use the cross multiplication methord that cannot be shown in the computer
try understand the basics. The 1st sum was quite easy only a bit technical. This was the methord and try to remember it
Awwww, … I guess someone didn't get what they wanted for christmas did they? And they took the last piece of pie that you wanted too huh? I'm sorry.
You should always credit those who help you out. I know I would feel annoyed and kinda hurt if I had helped someone a lot with something, and then they just took all the credit.
It's merely common courtesy, but it can make someone very happy.

This is a scam they will send you a fake check, the banks use to cash them then make you pay back the money but now banks are aware of the scam.
Yeah, they are smart, but it doesn't come from your side of the family…. all those Orientals are smart!
It depends. There are many techniques to do this. Some work great and some don't do anything. It also depends on the person doing it. If you don't do it right, even the best methods don't work. Also if the scratches are deep, nothing will work.
Give it a try. What have you got to lose really, if it won't play already? Just don't go somewhere where they charge you more than a buck or two per disc to do it.
I work at a game store and our method works great IF the guy doing it does it right and IF the scratches aren't too deep.
I'm thinking Sienna Miller is going to win this thing. Gi Joe and Transformers will be easy targets for RAZZIE>
I'm in a sort of similar situation, but with a guy that I actually know in real life. He's like a brother to me, he's always there for me, making me laugh and feel better. He's the nicest guy I've ever met, but he hates himself.
I want to tell him that he's the nicest guy i've ever met, and that he shouldn't hate himself because he's absolutely amazing! But I'm too shy.. And I'm worried that if I say this to him he might just think I fancy him or something.
Anyway, to answer your question, just tell him that he's a good guy and he deserves a nice girl, and will get one someday that will love him forever.
I don't know.
I'm not a skeptic of many mystical things; but I have not made up my mind on the Indigo (or crystal) children.
First off, because the description also for the most part fits kids who are just impatient and poorly disciplined.
Secondly, because I am always careful to not be gullible about things. I may believe in ghosts and magic, psychic abilities, etc., but I always question heavily to rule out any other possibilities until I am left with no possible other explanation.
With Indigos, I realize it is very much human for people to feel they are special and have some special, unique purpose (or their children are the special ones).
Honestly the proof is going to be when these children I've been hearing about for the last 15 years or so start doing what they were supposed to be doing as adults. So far, I have not seen any significant transformations that can be even remotely connected to indigos. So I will wait and see.
yes if you don't have previously saved shsh blobs for 4.3.1, you can do this process. this error number comes when it cant find your shsh on cydia server

(2p + q)(r – 9)(r – 3)
your best bet is to leave him alone… WHATEVER YOU DO, DONT CALL…he'll call you. boys are like cats, if they run away, thy'r sure to come home in a couple of hours… or days in this case. dont worry, it wont be more than 3 days if he calls you back… just dont smother him.
It's not a scam, it's marketing. Every company does it, it's up for you to decide whether or not you want the chocolate, regardless of the 1 in a million chance of winning some money.
GALAGA! its cool
Well, study does show that kids pick up on languages quicker than adults, and doing things together show that they get along well
Personally, that sounds EXACTLY how I'm going to be raising my children (when I have any)…my girlfriend has always had the traditions of Christmas Eve service, Santa Claus, Christmas tree, and I'm Wiccan/Witch/Pagan so I think the way you're doing it is perfect especially because they are exposed to many different beliefs. Good for you!
Maaan, I've been looking for this too. I emailed the artist (Matt Busch) but haven't gotten a response. If they do contact me, I'll post here…keep the question open if you can.
I can't think of a better holiday present for the Star Wars/Zombie movie fan…

Dear Diary,
IT"S OVER!! I've had it! I am sick & tired of her. And she's toast. I tried to put up with her controlling ways. But, it's difficult to surrender ones soul when one is worried about one's throat.
..She had the nerve, to say that I was Dirt! Yeah, that's right, Dirt! Well, from now on you can call me the "Duster Buster".I'm better than dirt. her biggest thing is this whiny little thing that drives me up the wall. She says, "You could be a great person, if you weren't such a faithless, thoughtless, disorganized, undisiplines moron". And I've done neither of those things. Whayever they mean!
..She recently had to run go to pick up her Son, while we had guest. And she actually told me, "Please don't say anything, `til I get back". I may have lost my Heart, but not my self-control. I packed it in and left right then. Afterall, do you think your thoughts should falldown from yur brain onto your tongue like a gumball machine?
.. It's happiness, from now, for me, Diary. Happy Days are on my path. – Thank you -
The reason for the season? I believe that would predate the Christian rituals to the Norse. They would honor the sun god around Dec. 25th by going out and finding the largest log (yule log), drag it back to the village and burn it. They would also honor fir trees for their ability to survive the harsh winters.
Every other Christian ritual, from the birth and the wise men, to trees and the date can be traced back to other celebrations. So who is guilty of the treason?

The spirit soul is an infinitessmal, eternally fragmental part of the Supreme Eternal Infinate Complete Person (Sri Krishna). When we re-establish oour lost, intimate, loving connection we feel the highest bliss. Recently, 500 years ago, Sri Krishna advented Himself in the most blissful loving mood of His eternal internal energy, Srimate Radharani. As Sri Krishna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, He taught:
harer nama harer nama
harer namaiva kevalam
kalau nastyeva nastyeva
nastyeva gatir anyatha
“‘In this Age of Kali there is no other means, no other means, no other means for self-realization than chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name, chanting the holy name of Lord Hari.’
Adi 17.22.
The maha mantra:
hare krishna hare krishna krishna krishna hare hare
hare rama hare rama rama rama hare hare
is a prayer to the internal energy of God, Srimate Radharani, to please engage us in Her Lord's service. Right now we are in service under the external energy, to illusion or Maya and are suffering. But through chanting the holy names of Hara and Krishna together, we experience the Highest Bliss of union with the Divine Couple.
As the hand is nourished by supplying food to the stomach, as leaves are nurtured by pouring water on the roots, so is the part of God nourished by serving the blissful Source of all that be. Try it yourself and see.
I would STRONGLY recommend AGAINST buying electronics on craigslist. I have had bad experiences buying electronics on Craigslist (there was always something wrong).
For 500$, I would strongly consider building a PC myself from parts. If you don't want the hassle, then look at buying one brand new or refurbished from HP. I priced one for just about 550$
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-540 dual-core processor 3.06GHz, 6GB DDR3-1333MHz SDRAM [3 DIMMs], 750GB 7200 rpm SATA 3Gb/s hard drive, Graphics card1GB DDR3 ATI Radeon HD 5570, DVD+/-R/RW SuperMulti drive, Integrated Ethernet port,15-in-1 memory card reader.
If you force me to pick one of the 3 above, I would pick # 1 – because the specs on the other 2 look ancient. Specs on # 1 look outdated too – so suggest you buy new (it's amazing how fast PCs go out of date and buying a 3 year old PC for 500$ sounds like a bad idea)
Cults used to have a negative vibe to them. But now on Xbox 360 the different groups are called cults, and the status is just whether or not they are playing at that given time.

Have noticed especially today, with all of these little "spiritual groups" with webinars and such – many of them are variations of a theme.
It seems some people are seeing the Star rating system and others are seeing a new Thumbs up or down rating system… and I cannot figure out why. In fact I posted a question about this, and thus far have gotten just one dumb non-answer! I've been on a different computer using the same browser that I use at home and saw the old view with the Stars ratings. What I see now has several differences, and after a video plays, it either repeats or plays a totally different video on its own choice! And sometimes the new Post button for posting Comments to a video doesn't work. I'm having lots of problems and I wish I knew how to get it back the way it used to be, because other computers, using various browsers (Mozilla, IE 8), still show it the "old" way… which worked the way it should! Good luck… to you AND to me!

4:07-4:23 is the best sequence in all of Star Wars
DURING the winter of 2004, the Christmas season in Italy was marked by a lively debate. Some educators and teachers supported the idea of reducing to a minimum or even completely eliminating any reference to religious Christmas traditions. They advocated this out of respect for the increasing number of schoolchildren who are neither Catholic nor Protestant. However, others in scholastic circles and elsewhere demanded that the traditions be respected and fully preserved.
Aside from this controversy, though, just what are the origins of many of the Christmas traditions? As the debate was reaching a climax, the Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore Romano made some interesting observations.
Regarding the date when Christmas is celebrated, the Catholic newspaper said: “The real date of Jesus’ birth, from the historical viewpoint, lies concealed beneath a veil of uncertainty as regards Roman history, the imperial census of that time and research in the subsequent centuries. . . . The date of 25 December, as is well known, was chosen by the Church of Rome in the fourth century. This date in pagan Rome was dedicated to the Sun god . . . Although Christianity had already been affirmed in Rome by an Edict of Constantine, the myth of . . . the Sun god was still widespread, especially among soldiers. The above-mentioned festivities, centred on 25 December, were deeply rooted in popular tradition. This gave the Church of Rome the idea of impressing a Christian religious significance on the day by replacing the Sun god with the true Sun of Justice, Jesus Christ, choosing it as the day on which to celebrate his birth.”
What about the Christmas tree, which is now part of the Catholic tradition?
The article in the Catholic newspaper pointed out that back in ancient times, many evergreens, such as “holly, butcher’s broom, laurel and branches of pine or fir were considered to have magical or medicinal powers that would ward off illness.” It went on to say: “On Christmas Eve, 24 December, Adam and Eve would be commemorated with the highly popular episode of the Tree of the earthly Paradise . . . The tree ought to have been an apple tree, but since an apple tree would have been inappropriate in winter, a fir tree was set on the stage and some apples put on its branches or, to symbolize the future coming of Redemption, wafers prepared with crushed biscuits in special moulds that were symbols of the Eucharistic presence of Jesus, as well as sweets and gifts for children.” What about after that time?
Mentioning that the tradition of using a Christmas tree first started in Germany in the 16th century, L’Osservatore Romano noted: “Italy was one of the last countries to accept the Christmas tree, partly because of a rather widespread rumour that the use of Christmas trees was a Protestant practice and should thus be replaced by the crib [the Nativity scene].” Pope Paul VI “began the tradition of setting up [in St. Peter’s Square, Rome] a massive Christmas tree” near the Nativity scene.
Do you find it acceptable that a religious leader would give a seemingly Christian meaning to events and symbols whose roots go back to ancient paganism? As to the proper course, the Scriptures admonish true Christians: “What fellowship do righteousness and lawlessness have? Or what sharing does light have with darkness?”—2 Corinthians 6:14-17.

Achieving cult status means that you are regarded with extremely fervent devotion/admiration by many fans. 'Cult' suggests religious or semi-religious activity, which is to say that the person who achieves cult status is practically worshiped, the way cult followers treat their leader. Mythical means that the actual details of the person's life become less important than the ideas people have about her. An example of this is Beethoven. People respond to the idea of Beethoven's heroic, stormy life, his struggle with/against his destiny, and they apply that when they listen to his music, sometimes losing sight of the actual man Beethoven was or of other musical considerations. Another example is Mozart (see 'Amadeus' to get an idea of the myth), who died young. Many of the foremost Romantic poets died young, chief among them Keats, Shelley, and Byron.
