    How-To:
    Root Your Android

     

    I have read several guides and watched videos and asked people how to go about rooting my galaxy s. When I finally was able to do it most of the information I was given from these sources didn’t help at all. Especially not the videos. This How To will explain how I did it and how you can too without the use of a computer.
    Why should I root my Droid?

    Rooting your Droid gives you the capability to increase its speed, decrease your battery use and forceclose applications you otherwise would not be able to. There are several apps which make these actions as easy as pressing a small widget on your screen.
    Is this dangerous for my Droid?

    It can be dangerous if you are careless. Using certain apps that boost your speed can cause the battery to overheat thus rendering your Droid a very expensive paperweight. Just don’t let your battery get too hot.
    z4root

    To root your Droid you must first download the file z4root.1.3.0.apk (link to download). This can be done directly from your Droid. This cannot be found in the android marketplace or on Google as information regarding the file has been removed from both sites. Once installed this app will allow you to temporarily or permanently root your Droid.
    Incompatibility

    • Desire (requires nand unlock)
    • Desire HD (requires nand unlock)
    • Magic (unknown)
    • Evo (requires nand unlock)
    • G2 (requires nand unlock)
    • Archos 70 (unknown)
    • LG Optimus One (unknown)
    • myTouch 3G (unknown)
    • Wildfire Droid Incredible

    Suggested root applications

    • CPU Tuner (allows advanced battery options)
    • Autokiller (closes unused/unnecessary apps)
    • Orbot (tor on your Droid)
    • CPU Boost (speed up your Droid with one click widget)

    That’s all for now. Hope you found this useful.

  • Body Language

    Body Language

    By homeslice4700

     

    What is Body Lanuage

    Body language is a form of non-verbal communication, consisting of body pose, gestures, attitudes and eye movements.

    When Do We Use Body Language

    We use body language on a daily basis whether you scratch your head out of confusion or how close you stand to one particular person. Most body language is unintentional and used subconsciously.

    Have you ever walked into a room and seen someone you’ve known for years and you just knew something was wrong whether or not they we’re upset or just not feeling well? How did you do it? After years and years of knowing this person somewhere in your subconscious it was written that when this person sits in a certain way or doesn’t turn his/her head in a specific direction that your used to, it indicates something is different. Both parties we’re completely unaware what just happened, but you just had a non verbal conversation in a matter of seconds. Its not that your psychic or have some kind of mind reading powers but you’ve completely interpreted their body language while being unaware of what you just did. Now imagine if you became self-aware of these mysterious powers. What if you knew, why and how you knew all of that information?

    Now I got two pills here for you. Take the blue pill and the story ends you will wake up in another forum and believe whatever you want to believe. Take the red pill and you stay in totseland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.

    How Can I Use Body Language To My Advantage
    There are many different instances where body language can enormously have an effect on the outcome of a situation.

    The two most important or most interesting times that I find most people actually care about body language is with the opposite sex or to catch someone lying. Do you really care what your friends body language is when your watching the game on tv or the stranger you just passed walking down the street? No? Neither do I

    I’m going to skip all the obvious one like if someone has a frown they’re not happy or if someone is walking towards you with a clenched fist and tightened facial muscles its obvious they want to fight

    WOMEN

    Women typically have the easiest yet most deceiving body language known. So lets start with a typical situation of you just meeting a woman for the first time.

    Is she interested?

    Don’t invade personal space! Don’t ever get to close to someone you just met. 5 or 6 feet is an ideal distance for a first encounter. This shows you are interested but way to forward and may scare a lot of people off or just create a bad impression. If you sit next to someone and they move over. Yeah thats another way of saying get the fuck away from me.

    Look at head positioning once they acknowledge your presence. If they continue to look into your direction or somewhere within your vicinity then this person probably likes you or has some interest into what your about.

    If their head position moves rapidly away from you or even turns completely the opposite direction. This person does not like you or for some reason feels threatened by your presence.

    Ok so we got past which way their head turned upon the initial encounter. Now what?

    You strike up a conversation with this person.. What does her head do while talking? During the conversation if she glances at you from time to time its a good sign of interest if the head constantly turns your direction then its a great sign of interest. If her head remains stationary and fixed upon a position away from you then she is annoyed and most likely wants you to leave.

    If she keeps looking at someone else close by during the middle of your conversation she wants you to leave now! She is looking for someone else safe to talk to or go where your not! Don’t follow if you get this vibe for it might make matters worse.

    Eyes! Ever heard the saying the eyes never lie? Because its true! Once you learn what eye movements mean you can almost tell what anyone is thinking.

    What are her eyes doing? If she never looks at you at all then that is a very terrible sign. No eye contact? No interest! Now she makes some eye contact but say once every 30 seconds? Another negative sign but maybe not.. Say she looks at you every couple seconds during a conversation then that is awesome! This alone has told me so many times whether I should make a move or not.. Steady eye contact and add a smile.. YOU’RE IN!

    What are her hands and arms doing? Crossed arms usually indicate annoyance or an uncomfortable sensation. Calm arms spread out and the hands still indicate this person is ok with you being around. If she touches you during a conversation on your arm or leg this is a great sign! This shows she is interested in you and comfortable to make body contact.

    What are her legs and feet doing? I don’t like to judge by legs and feet but sometimes they can send a good vibe your way.. If her legs are crossed she is ok with you being around or rubbing your leg with hers? Thats obvious you are good to go but if shes tapping her feet or legs wont stay still… Either she has ADHD or impatient with you and wanting to get away.

    The Conclusion

    If you combine all of these together you can get a pretty damn good idea whether or not this girl is interested in you or not. Most of the time its really obvious or not if she likes you but if your not sure or can’t tell just look for the signs her body is telling you. Keep in mind that all women are different and the downfall of women’s body language is, you can think this broad is completely interested because of all the positive body signals she is sending you then find out she doesn’t care for you at all or not interested in you the way you think she is.

    Also this works so much better on a female you already have known for some time or especially an old flame. My short story is about this girl who I’ve had relations with in the past. We would hang out after not talking for a few months and the tell tell sign I knew she wanted some action was with her eye contact. Like stated above she kept looking at me every couple of seconds during conversation and with a smile opposed to the norm when she has her head fixated in one position and focused on the tv.. I knew right then and there if I made a move it was going to be successful.

    Remember! Maybe shes just nervous because she doesn’t know you. This could send some negative body signals your way. The best time to interpret body language after knowing each other for a little bit.

    You Fucking Lying Sack Of Shit!

    I consider myself a human lie detector because I can ALWAYS tell when someone is lying. Its a skill that took my many years to master but with the right techniques you can master it to. This section won’t be as long the one above but it will provide to be very useful to you.

    Once again.. EYE CONTACT.. The biggest indicator of a lie! Say this person is making eye contact with you then looks away while making a statement. 9 out of 10 times they are lying

    What are the hands are arms doing? Moving around rapidly, itching, or running hands through hair? All many signs of uncertainly or a flat out lie!

    Head movements. Just like the eyes the person will turn their head away from your direction if stating something false

    Most lies can be detected through how the person answers your questions rather then what their body is telling you

    Some common body language techniques of a liar are but not limited to

    • Body and Face Becomes Stiffer
    • Deeper Breathing
    • Nostrils May Open Wider
    • Lips Become Thinner and Tighter
    • Palms of Hands Are Faced Down
    • Hand-to-Face Touching Greatly Increases

     

    Making A Good Impression
    Let’s say you got a job interview or some kind of important encounter where you want to represent yourself in a positive manner with productive body language.

    A nice firm handshake is a must! You don’t want to squeeze the bejesus out of their hand but you want to make your presence know as if your the new sheriff in town

    A smile.. Simple yet effective!

    Eye Contact.. Here we go again with the eyes. THE EYES NEVER LIE Have good steady eye contact but break it every once in a while so they don’t think your a faggot.

    Use hand gestures when speaking and be sure to show the opposing party your palms. It shows your defenses are down and your a friend and not a threat.

    Don’t put your hand over your mouth. It can be disrespectful and may lead others to think your bored or just don’t care.

    Keep your head high but not to high. Show them your a force to be reckoned with and not just another push over pussy with his head in the sand. People love a confident person.

    Don’t ever bite your nails! I bite my nails all the time but not during a session of importance.

    Be well groomed.

    That sums up my guide of body language. On an end note very important things to remember.

    • Distance Between You and Someone else
    • Head Movements
    • Eye Movements/Contact
    • Hand and Arm Movement
    • Leg and Feet Movement

     

    Pay attention to all of these. You should be able to tell what they mean just by being human. Also use these to change your own body language to tell a straight up lie without someone calling you out on it. If you can master the skill of body language it will benefit you tremendously for the rest of your life. Its amazing how you can just walk into a room and see someone sitting there and be able to tell exactly whats on their mind just by simply reading their body language.
    Practice on your friends and family everything stated above doesn’t necessarily have to be used to pick up a chick or catching a liar. All of these method’s can be used in almost any situation to tell you what you really want to know.. Good luck!

  • Night Ops Guide – A short tutorial on how to perform Night Ops

    Night Ops Guide – A short tutorial on how to perform Night Ops

    By trx100

     

    A bit of an introduction

    Night Ops is awesome. There’s no denying just how fun it is to move around at night like Sam Fisher, climbing over obstacles and laying low to avoid security guards. When you’re on an Op, you become the shadows. You become a part of the night – an invisible presence that no one even notices. Being good at it is something which takes practice though. This practice can only come from experience in the field, and often you can gain some extra knowledge on the subject by reading things which other people have written (check the resources section for some good material). Hopefully this guide will give you a little idea on how to get started in the world of Night Ops.

    Clothing

    Before you even consider going outside on a serious operation, it is extremely important to kit yourself out to the best standards. Now, when you think of blending in with the night, you automatically think of black clothing – right? Well, you’re wrong. In most situations, you’re never going to come across a completely pitch-black background meaning that your black t-shirt is going to give you a silhouette. This can be easily spotted by anyone who happens to be watching.

    Choose the correct clothing for your location. For urban areas, dark grays and navy blues go brilliantly against the dark night sky and concrete buildings. If you’re in a more rural environment, think dark greens and browns. As for what you wear on your legs – go for something tight fitting and also a dark color. Navy blue or even black (legs are less distinctive than the shape of a body) work well in most situations.

    You might want to consider wearing a balaclava to cover your face, or a combination of a hat and a scarf wrapped around your face. Concealing your identity if you’re spotted is a main objective for any Operation. Also consider wearing some gloves for the prevention of fingerprints. Be careful though, bad gloves may compromise your ability to grip things when climbing.

    Shoes should be a lightweight, grippy rubber material with a tread which isn’t easily matched (potential evidence if you’re caught). Choose something which you’re comfortable with using, as well as something which you can walk quietly and quickly in. Think about what you’re going to be doing on the operation and plan ahead – climbing shoes are much different to shoes which you’re just going to be sneaking around in. You’ll know when you’ve found a good shoe to wear. You can also go without shoes for the ultimate stealth experience. It makes it so much easier to walk around quietly, and you really get a sense of being in touch with the surroundings as you can literally get a feel for the ground beneath you.

    What gear should I take with me on a Night Op?

    The answer to this question really is up to you. Consider what you’re going out to do, and think about the gear which you will need for the mission. Are you going to come across any locked doors or gates on your journey which can’t be climbed? You might need lock-picks or a screwdriver. Things which you SHOULDN’T bring with you are easier to list though, and range from an MP3 player to guns and large, unnecessary knives. Not only are they usually unneeded, they’re also a safety hazard and could result in some hefty charges if you get caught.
    Plan Extensively and thoroughly

    I can’t stress this one enough. Plan for EVERY possibility. Have a route plan so you know exactly where you are going from the moment you leave your house to the moment you return. Take note of departure times, as well as the time you wish to arrive at the destination. Set yourself a time limit to complete the task in, so you don’t end up taking too much time and risk getting caught. Have a main plan, a backup plan, and another backup plan in case the other one fails. In short, you can never plan too much.

    When planning out routes, try and stick to places where people don’t frequent. At the same time, don’t go walking through some muddy track which would result in your footprints being left everywhere. Consider your routes carefully, and use Google Maps as well as knowledge of the area to help you along the way.

    Are you ready?

     

    So, you think you’re ready for the operation? You’ve got the right clothing and gear, and you’ve planned the living daylights out of your Op? Well, firstly I’d like to wish you good luck. Here’s some more information regarding the operation itself.

    Moving Stealthily

    This is something which may or may not come naturally. Get yourself a good pair of shoes, or don’t even wear shoes at all. Think of Sam Fisher from the Splinter Cell games, and keep an eye on the way he walks in the crouched position. Get yourself crouched, keep your weight central and turn your body a little sideways. I find myself almost strafing forwards when I walk like this, but it works perfectly. Tight clothing will help when moving quietly, as there will be less material rubbing together and less shit flapping in the wind. When climbing, make precise movements with no fumbling footwork. When dropping from a height which is bigger than yourself, perform a roll when you hit the deck to keep your momentum going in a forwards direction. Not only will this make you much quieter, it will also save you from damaging your body. Smaller drops can be taken with crouched legs as you hit the ground.

    Completing the mission

    Finally, I’d like to stress the importance of you sticking to your mission plan. No messing around if there’s something serious to be done. Stick to your mission plan exactly. After all, what would be the point in making one if you don’t stick to it? You should always be aiming to get in and out of the specific area as quickly and effectively as possible. Once you have finished your mission, get yourself back to a safe-house and get some rest. This could be your own house, a friend’s place, or even some abandoned building on the outskirts of town. Wherever you choose, make sure it’s a good location and make sure you’re not followed there.

  • How to Dry, Cure, and Flavor your Weed!

    How to Dry, Cure, and Flavor your Weed!

    By bornkiller

    How to dry, cure, and flavor your marijuana!

    Source Here
    Are you ready for the 420 shacks crash course in curing your marijuana? Get ready to take some notes, Today we’re going over drying, air curing and flavor curing. Curing your marijuana buds is done to remove all of the chlorophyll, and left over salts and nutrients the cannabis plant built up over its growing period. After today’s lesson you should be able to dry and cure your marijuana.

    Air Curing
    Air curing is the process of utilizing the oxygen in the air to oxidize the chlorophyll and break it down on a chemical level. The process can take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. Air curing marijuana allows for a stronger aroma, which is very important for taste and flavor. 

    Drying the marijuana out
    The first step involved after harvesting is the drying process. Take your marijuana branches, and hang them upside down so the fan leaves can droop over the buds. The drying process can take 2 weeks to 2 months depending on where you live and the place you choose to dry at. Desert climates dry faster than tropical or mountainous areas. The location of where you hang the newly trimmed marijuana branches, should be a cool dark place free from moisture and humidity, with a good ventilation system. Check the marijuana everyday to prevent the accumulation of mold and mildew. Once the fan leaves turn crisp and can break off easily, then start trimming off ONLY the fan leaves. Now you can hang your marijuana buds up to dry again, as they will still be moist. Allow the little marijuana leaves to droop and cover the buds. Repeat the checking process everyday, until the little leaves turn crisp and can break off easily. Time to manicure! now all you have to do is trim off all the extra plant stuff. The buds should still be a little moist at this stage of the drying process.
    Some of the marijuana buds will be smokeable by this point, but we need to cure it! Resist temptation!

    This marijuana has been trimmed and is hang drying.

    Bag the marijuana up

    The second step requires a brown paper bag, any brown grocery bag will work great. This step can be tricky so pay attention! Place your trimmed buds into the brown paper bag loosely. Don’t fill a bag up past 3-4 inches from the bottom. Don’t close the bag yet, We still need to let it air dry, and we want to prevent mold! Check on the buds everyday! Shake the bag around gently, rotate the marijuana. This will ensure an even dry. The marijuana buds will compact and shrink down naturally as the bag step is nearing completion. There is nothing better than repeated, hands-on checking to prevent damage to the marijuana buds from mold and mildew.The marijuana is now fully smokeable, but we can get it even better!
    Air curing the marijuana to finish it up
    The last step only takes 7-10 days. Go out and buy mason jars! You need airtight glass jars. Take all of your marijuana buds and place them loosely into the glass jars. Make sure you cover it with the lid, and seal it up. At least once a day open each jar to replace the air inside. Stir around the marijuana buds to get an even cure. Check the marijuana everyday, if you notice mold or mildew, throw away the moldy buds, and then take the good bud out of the jars and put them back in the bag step for a few days. The longer you let it cure in jars the better the aroma gets. You can develop great characteristics in this stage.
    DONE!
    A marijuana bud is completely dry, cured, and ready for consumption when the stem in the middle of the bud breaks easily with the fingers. The snap is easy to detect with practice. The marijuana buds now can be sealed and stored for a really long period of time, provided they are in your jars, airtight, and away from light. Light destroys THC.

    Storing marijuana in mason jars is great for longevity.

    How to add flavor to your marijuana
    Flavor curing your marijuana, is the method of using non-cannabis ingredients to enhance the natural aroma, and taste. The term flavor curing should not be taken as a method to change the flavor of the marijuana.
    Things your going to need to flavor cure
    Since you’ve already got the mason jars, now your gonna need some kite string, and some cheesecloth, and some flavoring agents. Common flavoring ingredients: lemons, limes, oranges, bananas, mango, apples, watermelon, fresh coconut shavings, garlic. The list is endless really.
    The marijuana flavoring process
    Pick out your favorite flavor, fruits with a hard rind work the best. Take your fruit piece, and wash it Thoroughly. Using a cutting board, cut each fruit in half, and coop out all the insides. We are after the rinds. You’ll want to end up with a good amount of rinds. Eyeballing here is key, experiment until you find the right amount of flavor for you. Its important NOT TO PEEL THE FRUIT. Juicing or spooning out the flesh leaves a layer of oils inside the skin that we want to keep.
    Preheat your oven to 300 degrees F. place all of your rinds on a cookie sheet, make sure the rinds are inside up on the sheet and bake them for about 6 to 7 minutes. Take them out and let them cool. Carefully cut all of the rinds into tiny strips. Take your cheesecloth and lay it out. Directly in the center, place all of your shredded fruit rinds. Bring the edges up together and tie it up. It should look like a bouquet or a balloon. The key here is to make a TIGHT ball. Take the flavor ball, and place it inside your mason jar full of marijuana. Don’t let it actually touch the marijuana, instead fold a corner of the cheesecloth over the side and screw on the lid over it. This way the flavor ball hangs above the marijuana. Now, remember to check your jars and open them up everyday to refreshen the air. The longer the fruit is in the jar with the marijuana, the better the taste will become. I like to let my marijuana flavor cure for 60 days, replacing the fruit rinds in the flavor ball every 10 days.
    If you have a bag of weed that has lost it’s goodness from drying out. Try putting a couple of drops of alcohol (Whiskey, Bourbon, Vodka, Rum etc,etc) into the bag or a sealed container. Don’t put shit loads in there, just a couple of drops. The weed absorbs the alcohol vapour and brings it back to life. It even brings quite a bit of that skunky smell back to life. Shit works.
    That’s my 50c worth….

  • How to Make Sausages

    How to Make Sausages

    By dr rocker

     

    Some of the sausages you buy in the shops are decent. Some of them are filth. It depends on what you pay. A year or two ago a supermarket in the UK advertised the launch of a ‘sausage’ that contained 15% meat products and over 80% breadcrumb filler. In the UK, you can try to be safe in what you eat as things are labelled pretty well to let you know what is in them and not only is organic controlled by associations but by national and european law, it is consistent and if some thing is labelled organic we know it is, rather than in other countries of the world where organic certification of food can be some what hit and miss.

    The reason for thinking these things over before you start to create a piece of art is the fact that the pig is the most widely mistreated farm animal – in the food and medications it is given, the unnatural conditions in which it is forced to live, breed, farrow and eat – away from soil, away from sunlight and away from things to root out to keep themselves naturally amused.

    The pigs only flaw – even though it is nearly as intelligent as a dog is the fact a dog has a lot loss meat on it and its stringy.

    Anyway, on to the sausages.

    You are going to need some equipment – a mincer, a stuffer, a freezer, knives, chopping board, scales accurate to 0.01 g

    You will also need sheep intestine skins, meat, water and ice and the flavour mix you will be using. I always make my own but you can buy ‘generic’ mixes. Always make your own. If you do not, you will forever eating a generic sausage. You want to make sausages to find the perfect one, and this comes with changing things around flavour wise, which is a good thing.

    For my equipment, I have a Kenwood Chef classic food mixer – it does a shit ton of things for me but the real reason I bought it was for sausage making. Although it is a machine that is designed to do many things, it has a very good mincing / sausage stuffing attachment.

    You could however chop the meat by hand to your desired texture and use a stuffer, but that would take for ever.

    For meat, I use a mix of pork leg and pork shoulder, varying amounts depending on the cost of the meat and its fat/meat/gristle %. I am looking for as little to no gristle as possible, and fatted muscle, rather than a meaty bit with some fat on it. If you are into pigs, you want the legs and the shoulders from at least a baconer, preferably a slow growing one.

    I get the meat whole and remove any skin and bones – I do not put the skin in the sausages. I also cube the meat to ¾ inch cubes, some bits of meat slightly bigger, some slightly smaller it makes no odds. Before I cut the meat I put in the freezer for a couple of hours – I do not want it frozen, I get it to the point where it is still flexible but on the way to being frozen. The reason for this is that when working with the meat, if it is warm, the fat will separate – probably into fatty acids and glycerol – and the fat smears – you just end up with nasty greasy sausages.

    I also put the grinder and grinding plates in the freezer. Care is needed when handling these when they are very cold – cold metal sticks to wet skin no problems and this will cause you issues.

    The Ingredients
     

    • 4lb cubed shoulder of pork – 1.814 kg
    • 4lb belly pork – 1.814 kg

    Mix

    • 15 grams freshly ground black pepper
    • 50 grams salt
    • 5 grams of nutmeg
    • 5 grams of mace
    • 5 grams dried marjoram
    • 5 grams sage
    • pinch cayenne pepper
    • 100g Ice

     

    First, grind the meat with a large mincing plate. I use a 8mm plate for the first mincing. Mince all the meat and let the grinder do the work. The more you force it, the warmer the mix will get.

    After the first mincing, I put the mix in with the meat, give it a good mix through and put it in the fridge for half an hour or so.

    I then thread the sausage skins onto the stuffer. I always use lamb intestine, but pork intestine can be used but this makes a much thicker sausage. Make sure you soak the intestine for 24 hours before you want to use it – they come packed in salt and you want this to soak out. Ensure you change the water a few times.

    Mince the meat again, with a smaller plate – I use a 5mm. When performing the second mincing, add the ice. This will keep the mix cool and add water when it melts.

    When the meat has its second mincing, give a good mix by hand. You are looking to mix the meat into a good paste so the proteins in the meat begin to bond to each other. Once this is done, it goes in the stuffer.

    Tie a knot in the open end of the sausage skin and turn the stuffer on. Stuffing a sausage is a skill that can only be learned by doing it – its a thing that takes a bit of feel to do it right – if you mess it up, split the casing and start again. As long as the meat is not getting warm, have as many goes as you like.

    Make sure you have a container to catch the sausage. The above mix will make around 16 feet of sausage. When you get to the end of the skin, pull it off the stuffer and tie it.

    Leave the sausage for an hour or two to develop. You can then fold it into links – simply twist the sausage, with each twist being the opposite of the other. You can then package and refrigerate or freeze.

    Once you have the basics, mess around with the ingredients in the mix to find something unique.

    There we have it. That is all that goes in my sausages no nitrates or nitrites.
