flash mobs: a new social phenomenon?
giles hewitt in new york.
Neato!
Let's all file that one away in our "creative and mischevious ideas" files for future use. Maybe a suit-and-tie/Sunday dress-clad mob suddenly appears at a convention or Kingdom Hall?
Or maybe it would make one hell of an intro for an Apostafest.

Hamas, have you ever tried Macromedia Dreamweaver?
You can d/l a 30-day trial and see if you like it better. I've used it in the past and loved it. Also, if you'll pm me I can share a little more info regarding Dreamweaver 3.

i've been having some problems with car break-ins for the last year or so.
i've lost several hundred dollars worth of car audio stuff before i wised up and started securing it better.
the last two times my car has been broken into, they didn't get anything but still go in my car and search it regularly.
I just emailed the Macon Police Department about the situation, they provide a form on their website that I filled out with my phone number and email address. Maybe they'll call me back and work with me.
My apartment house is on a corner lot. Due to that we also have a problem with people "cutting through" the yard and parking lot, using it as a shortcut. Don't you hate it when people do that?
Jourles, you asked about me leaving my doors unlocked. Well at this point I can't lock the doors. I need to replace the latch mechanism and window regulator in the driver's side door. But even were the locks functional, I'd still think twice about locking it because I don't want to have to replace a busted-out window.
I've posted about the car before. It's a '79 Camaro that I'm in the process of fixing up even as I use it as a daily driver. The car itself doesn't exactly advertise to theives that there's anything valuable inside. It's old-looking. The original awful green paint job is faded and cracking and there's a few rust spots. Add to that the fact that I'm currently doing body work and right now it looks even worse with the bondo and primer.
I'm not too worried about it being stolen. Like I said, on my "to-do" list are some anti-theft measures that will make it pretty secure. The only other thing I need to do is find a way to lock the hood down. On older cars like this one, the hood latch is on the outside of the car not under the dash. Were they to decide to, right now they could pop the hood and cost me a lot of money. They could steal the battery. They could take the $200 Edelbrock carb. Or the $60 Accel HEI super-coil. Yes, that does happen.
Someone else suggested a surveillance camera. I'm thinking about that as well. I've used a video camera in the past to catch some little punks that were throwing rocks thru my windows where I used to live. The Jones County Sheriff's deputy almost hugged me when I called them to report the vandalism then invited him inside to watch the tape.

it's high time those of us in the southeast had us a little git-together.
i know there's some board members in atlanta, at least one in macon (me) and maybe more, and some in florida.. why don't we put our heads together and plan an apostafest for our area?
maybe one this fall?

So come on y'all, let's make this happen!

I'm not too worried about the car getting stolen. They haven't even tried so far. In the next week, I'll be adding my own anti-theft measures. A removeable steering wheel. A switch secreted under the front subframe between the battery and starter. I'm also working on an idea to have a pepper gas sprayer detonate in the car if it's broken into.
Jourles, we need to talk some more. I've got the Alldata system at my shop and have access to all the wiring diagrams for the car. Besides, it's a '79 Camaro so there's nothing too complicated. Someone suggested hooking up a cattle fence power source to the car's body to shock the hell out of anyone who happens to touch it unauthorized.
As far as the tracking devices, I want to focus on that though now. So what can y'all tell me?
Mike.
several years ago there was a person in the position of pioneer in the congregation i was attending.
this person had a very dark side, had a way of manipulating others to think what this person wanted them to.
this person also had a very shady past and apparantly had not totally put on that new personality and done away with all of the old.
Welcome to the board Dancn. You are definitely not alone or even in the minority in the way you see things. If you're looking for scriptures, look for the one that talks about man leading man to his injury.
I hope that you're seeing things in the Empire for what they really are now but never forget that there's still a lot of good people in there and the good people are always the ones who get hurt. I think I'm talking to one of them now.
Hang around my friend.

Elsewhere, for that kind of money I'd expect it to have a remote detonator attached to about a pound of C4.
(not that I'd do that but just sayin'........)

The last two times my car has been broken into, they didn't get anything but still go in my car and search it regularly. I know it's been gone into because you have to shut the driver's side door a certain way otherwise it doesn't close completely. Plus the glove box was open.
I've reported it to the police and asked for increased patrols, but nothing's changed. It's not like my car is parked at night where thieves can't be seen. My apartment house is at the corner of an intersection that's busy at all hours. The main Post Office is on one corner and the main library is on another. The car is very visible from the street and the parking lot is lit.
I don't lock the car doors because I know they'll just break the window. I may put in a car alarm, but doubt I'll hear it go off. I'm a heavy sleeper and can't hear noises outside anyway.
I had an idea though. Thought I'd run it past y'all and maybe some of you who know more about the technology could give me your input and advice.
I've got an old VCR that quit working. If I could put some kind of battery-powered tracking device in it and leave it in my car overnight, maybe I could help the cops track down the burglars. Is there some kind of GPS transmitter that I could hide in the VCR and have a receiver that would show it's position? I feel certain that the theives are coming from one of the nearby "bad neighborhoods" probably within a 1-mile radius. If I could find a setup like that maybe I could help the cops put some of these jerks away, and then I could let my friends and neighbors use it too.
I do need to keep the cost down as much as I can, considering this will probably be a one shot deal unless it works and I decide to repeat the "sting" again or let others use the setup.
I'm going to look around online and see what I can find out but I know nothing about the technology so maybe someone can give a little advice?
Mike.
