Boomers could forever redefine retirement Article added by Peter J. “Coach Pete” D’Arruda on December 10, 2013

"The boomers' biggest impact will be on eliminating the term 'retirement' and inventing a new stage of life...the new career arc.” – Rosabeth Moss Kanter

I remember picking up a copy of USA Today a couple of years ago and seeing the headline: “First of 77 Million Baby Boomers Coming of Age.” I wondered exactly what that meant. Upon reading the article, I learned that by “coming of age,” the writer meant that the generation that was nicknamed “the baby boom generation” because of a spike in the birth rate following World War II was now — can you believe it? — turning 65.

Yep, the generation that invented rock and roll, grew up on black and white television and fought the Vietnam War, the generation that watched Howdy Doody and gave us Woodstock, the generation that put a man on the moon and saw both the beginning and the end of the Cold War was now ready to retire. And, statistically anyway, they were doing it in the same manner they entered the world — with a boom. How would the country adjust to one-fourth of its population stopping work and lining up for Medicare and Social Security?

Officially, to be a baby boomer, you have to have been born between 1944 and 1964. On January 1, 2011, the very first baby boomer turned 65. For the next 20 years, baby boomers would be turning 65 at the rate of 8,000 per day. Let’s face it, as this unique bunch gets older, they will likely transform the institutions of aging dramatically, perhaps redefining what retirement means forever. After all, they have done that to just about every other aspect of American life.

Some who have been looking forward to retirement and now find themselves at its doorstep have that deer-in-the-headlights look, as if to say, “What do I do now?”

Growing up in Laurinburg, North Carolina, I was a Boy Scout. The Boy Scout motto is, “Be Prepared.” Some added the words, “and not surprised!” to the motto. That has always stuck with me. As a financial advisor, it is now my job to keep my ear to the ground, as it were, when it comes to matters of financial preparedness. In my work as the host of a nationally syndicated talk show that deals entirely with financial matters, I take questions and have on-the-air conversations with literally thousands of people each year. What I hear sometimes frightens me. Many of the burgeoning horde of seniors in the stampede toward the green meadows of retirement are in line for a harsh dose of reality, and some are totally unprepared for the shock. Exactly how it will affect the economy is hard to say. Will the country’s health care and Social Security systems survive the strain? That remains to be seen. One thing is for sure: These boomers, as a societal class, are wealthier and healthier than any generation before and, statistically, as a group, they can look forward to an active old age.

Just what is the life expectancy of the baby boomers? Well, life expectancy works in a strange way. Every year you live extends your life expectancy a little further. I suppose the people who analyze this say, “Well, if you’ve made it this far, you must be made of better stuff than we thought, so we will tack on a few more years.” I like the way one octogenarian put it when asked his age: “At the rate I’m going, I’ll be 100 before long.” The life expectancy of a person who makes it to 65 is 83.6 years. That’s an average. It’s a bit lower for men and a bit higher for women. Life expectancy gets even better at age 75. If you make it to age 75, then life expectancy becomes 86.5 for men and 87.5 for women.

Baby boomers are more health conscious than previous generations. When an old black-and-white movie from the 1940s came on the tube recently, I found it strange to see how much the characters smoked. Everyone was lighting up. It was part of the screen play. Not so in 21st century movies. Boomers have all but kicked the habit. Smoking is a thing of the past in airplanes, and it’s going the way of the wooly mammoth in restaurants.

But it also appears that not all baby boomers have traded in their burgers and fries for salad and tofu. One poll showed that a higher percentage of boomers are obese than any other group in the country. Boomers came in with a 36 percent obesity rate, while only 25 percent were obese in the generations directly above and below them. There is more chronic illness, such as heart disease and hypertension, but those who have it are living longer with it. That may be because of better health care, at both the diagnostic and the treatment end of things. All things considered, baby boomers can expect to live out the Vulcan greeting made popular by the pointy-eared Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame, “Live long and prosper.” At least as far as their health is concerned.

The wealth outlook is not as good as the health picture. It is true that boomers are wealthier than their parents, but inflation has driven up both prices and wages dramatically on their watch. Real median household income for boomers is 35 percent to 53 percent higher (depending on age) than in their parents’ generation, and 27 percent of baby boomers have four or more years of college, making this the most highly educated generation in U.S. history. On the whole, however, baby boomers do not feel that they have saved enough money to cover the costs of retirement for the longevity they hope to enjoy. If retirement starts at age 65, and your nest egg must last another 18.6 years, then as Odyssey said to Houston in the movie Apollo 13, “We have a problem here.”
What are boomers looking to for support during retirement? Defined benefit pensions have almost become extinct, and 401(k) plans, which could do no wrong in the heady 1990s, went backwards in the 2000s. Home values took a substantial hit when the housing bubble burst. Adding to the uncertainty are higher energy costs, higher health care costs and the effects of the recession that began in 2008 and is still going on at the time of this writing. Baby boomers were raised in affluent times and imbued with high expectations. The first crop of this wave of retirees, however, now faces the prospect of living longer but crimped lives.

Gloom meets boom

According to a USA Today/Gallup Poll taken in early 2012, two-thirds of baby boomers say they are less optimistic about retirement than they were 10 years ago. The Insured Retirement Institute recently surveyed a cross-section of individuals between 50 and 66 years of age, and found that only 40 percent of them were confident of having enough to cover basic expenses in retirement. Sixty percent believed that their retirement security would be worse than that of their parents. Even the pollsters were surprised at how much the pendulum of public opinion within this group had swung toward the negative in just 10 years. One ray of sunshine in the gloom: 74 percent said that their retirement picture would get no worse, and would probably improve.

When asked from what source their retirement income would come, most of this sampling of boomers, 46 percent, listed 401(k)s, 403(b)s and similar defined contribution plans. Only 37 percent cited traditional pension programs as their main source of income during retirement. The older the boomers get, the more these programs drop off.

The 2008 market downturn took a toll on wealth; inheritances, on average, won’t be as big and many shop-till-you-drop boomers simply haven’t saved enough money to last through their retirement.

Apparently, some of the baby boom generation are the embodiment of the attitude espoused by that dubious spokesman of their youth, Alfred E. Newman of Mad Magazine: “What, me worry?”

According to Annamaria Lusardi, economics professor at the George Washington University School of Business, there exists a general lack of financial literacy and planning among “a sizable group of the population that has not even thought about retirement.” She points out that many people see retirement as a distant stage, even if it’s only five years away.

With all that in the wind, it’s not surprising that a significant number of those polled said that they expect to postpone retirement past age 65. Does that mean that the old 30-something gang will still be showing up for work at 70-something? So it appears, if they hope to enjoy a retirement that enables them to continue the lifestyle to which many of them have become accustomed. It is a fact that more and more boomers are either working or beginning a second career after "retirement age.”
One thing is sure: seniors in the music industry aren’t retiring. The Rolling Stones are still together at an average age of 65. Check out this list of “mature” citizens from the top 10 grossing music concert tours for 2010:
  • Bon Jovi (age 48), #1 music tour with $201 million worldwide
  • AC/DC (lead singer Brian Johnson, age 63), #2 (tied) music tour with $177 million worldwide
  • Roger Waters (age 67), #2 (tied) music tour with $90 million worldwide from a mid-year start
  • Dave Matthews Band (Dave Matthews, age 43), #4 music tour with $72.9 million
  • The Eagles (singer Glenn Frey, age 62), #6 with tour with $64.5 million
  • Paul McCartney (age 68), #7 music tour with $61.8 million
  • James Taylor (age 62), #8 music tour with $50.7 million
Hey, it looks like old age is cool … and profitable!

What’s in store

This flood of seniors and their changing economic status from workers to retired, semi-retired or soon-to-be retired, will change a lot about our culture. Many think taxes will increase. In addition, someone has to pay for the heavier medical care burden.

However, there are also many possible benefits to having (proportionally) more seniors around. They have one commodity that cannot be overlooked and one that I hear ranks pretty high on the qualifications list of contributing members of society: experience. Boomers have already introduced the concept of volunteering to our culture. Seniors have a great deal of knowledge and experience to share with younger people. Retired boomers will have even more time to become engaged in this way.

The 2011 Social Security Trustees Report projects the system will run out of money by 2038 unless reforms are made. Proposed reforms include: raising the retirement age, raising payroll taxes and perhaps even revising the benefit formula in a number of different ways. But not to worry, boomers. Most of you are “grandfathered” in (pardon the pun), and the reforms will probably be phased in over several years, so most of you will probably not feel a thing. As to whether Social Security will be here in its present form for your children, however, that is another story.

New iPhone 2010: OS 3.2 SDK N89 is codename for “iPhone 4G”

By Updated on

There have been so many rumors about the new iPhone 2010 model; we had hoped to see it make an appearance at last weeks Apple event. However, Steve Jobs decided to unveil his new iPad tablet instead, but the release of the OS 3.2 SDK has shown us that the iPhone 4G comes with the codename N89.

There are also two other codenames hidden in the SDK, those include the N72 and the N88, not sure how happy Nokia will be with that? According to Engadget, the N89 is for the new iPhone, and the N72 and N88 are for two new iPod Touch models.

There is now much confusion over this as it was first thought that N90 was the codename for the 4th-generation iPhone, we are not sure why Apple changed this. There is nothing else we can tell you at this moment, but Engadget will continue to do some digging to learn more about the next Apple Smartphone.

The iPhone OS 3.2 SDK was released last week so that application developers can release new apps for the iPad. Apple did say that most of the 140,000 iPhone apps would work on the new tablet device, but hopes that developers will work on new software designed to take advantage of the iPads larger screen.

East Of Eden - Mercator Projected CD (album) cover

East Of Eden

Eclectic Prog

4.02 | 103 ratings

From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website

5 stars Debut album released in 1969 "Mercator Projected". Heavy ethnical jazz-rock. The power of avant-garde development and the performance that gets excited is wonderful. Moreover, a melancholic melody is indeed good. There is interest in the underground where what happens cannot be expected. It is still a masterpiece. Essential: a masterpiece of progressive music.

I Wish You Were My Doctor

Re: "A Doctor's Letter to Patients with a Chronic Disease"

I wish you were my doctor. The idea of "have a relationship" with your doctor is lovely. When you only are allowed 10 minute appointments by the insurance companies, and he only has time for one symptom, there is no time for understanding what is really going on at all. We have basically stabilized at me telling him "order me these labs" "write me this prescription" he asks why, I tell him quickly the basic reason, he does what I ask, end of appointment. One day he said something (I don't recall what) and I answered "You don't HAVE 2 hours to listen to everything that is going on! You are dealing with incomplete data. I would love to tell you all of it, but we can't." He's the best I have found in the area. They get worse. I wish you were my doctor. – Dtomei

The Solution to FM is Right Under Our Noses!

Re: "The Next Generation of Fibromyalgia Treatments"

For many of us, the causes, and solution to FMS, is hiding in plain sight - right under our noses.

I had FMS for 20 years, plus other bizarre symptoms in addition to pain, trigger points, brain fog, balance issues and sleep disorders. I developed rashes, peripheral neuropathy, tremors, and more. Finally at the end of my rope, my integrative doctor heard a presentation by Omar Amin, PhD that bizarre symptoms can be caused by reactivity to dental materials. I found a biologic dentist who removed exposed fillings, I took supplements to calm immune reactions and candidiasis, treated hidden dental infections and had lymph drainage massage. Great improvement!

Next, Dx and treatment for persistent lyme. Generic doxy I had in the past was useless. New doctor Rx doxycyline monohydrate and zithromax, after a week remaining aches and trigger points gone! Still prone to small infections, Dx and treated for mold toxicity sensitivity. I just passed Red Cross Lifeguarding, 44 years after I passed it the first time. I rolled back the clock, and you can too. Genetic testing for methylation defects a clue.

So many of the symptoms of FMS and other chronic diseases are consistent with mercury toxicity, and treatments in the article can alleviate symptoms. But if you'd rather heal than manage it, remove the source, and support your body, brain and cells to get healthy again. Thousands and thousands have recovered like me, and millions can if we spread the word and also demand action. Demand the FDA BAN instead of enabling dental mercury poisoning and needless, tragic, costly, chronic disease...Thank you! – laurarussell2

Junk Food in the Diet

Re: "The Fibromyalgia Diet: Eating for a Better Quality of Life"

Though I agree that everyone needs to control the amount of junk food they eat in their diet, I do not agree that junk food is the cause of fibromyalgia and haven't even noticed that any junk that I have eaten makes my symptoms worse. I eat fairly healthy & do need to improve my diet but I believe stress & many other factors control how fibro affects us. Exercise is a definite plus, along with diet. From my experience, the only "diet" that helps is just watching what you eat just as anyone should.  – SEIowaGirl

My Opinion of These Supposed Researchers

Re: "Recommendations for Classification and Clinical Diagnosis of Fibromyalgia"

More of the same from those who bend their tools to reach their conclusions rather than letting the science speak for itself, statistics 101. How can they state that our symptoms are not explained by comorbities when research and other experts state otherwise? Rubbish. Beware my friends, this is strictly opinion, and not based on patient outcome, merely a paper supported by a band of thieves with secondary gain. – SiSiRN

Thoughts on FM Drugs Article

Re: "The Fibromyalgia Drugs Your Doctor (Probably) Knows Nothing About"

As always, I am incredibly impressed with the information posted on this site. The information you posted here is information I can take to my pain doctor for further exploration. – cphero

I am the living proof that pramipexol works positively on my fibro. My doctor gave me pramipexol because she thought that I had restless legs, later on I was diagnosed fibro. When I started with pramipexol it worked so good, I never felt that good. Because it worked so good and my doctor doesn't know why, she thought that I maybe had Parkinson's. But I don't have Parkison's. I have also read that dopamine-antagonist also increases growth hormone, and the more growth hormone the less fibro complaints! – johan30

The ability to determine the effects that lead compounds have on cytochrome P450 enzymes is an important part of today's drug discovery routine. One desired component of this process is the ability to profile enzymes using the same basic procedure. The second is an easy, yet dependable way to dilute compounds that will create accurate titration curves. Here we demonstrate the automation of dose-response curves using BioTek's Precision™ XS automated pipetting system. IC50s of small molecule drugs were determined using recombinant CYP isoforms 3A4, 2C9 and 2D6 and luminogenic substrates specific to each from Promega's P450-Glo™ CYP450 Screening Systems. Compounds were profiled against all three isoforms on the same 384-well assay plate to demonstrate the ease of this combined procedure.

    Great dress!
    Beautiful dress! I love the beading on it, I originally thought it would be a bit much, but I ended up loving it (I enjoy sparkly things in general, so if you don't, I would not recommend this dress). The material is really nice as well. The only thing is that the top part is rather heavy because of the jewels, but I like that! It feels like it won't fall off (as weird as that sounds)!

Vintage Colon halts Bombers’ losing streak

Posted By Stephanie Geosits On Apr 28 2011 @ 1:00 pm In New York Yankees | No Comments

Newsflash! The New York Yankees’ two-game losing streak, their longest of the year, is over thanks to yet another remarkable performance from seasoned righty Bartolo Colon. In an eight-inning, seven hit performance, Colon held the White Sox to just one run and struck out six. He looked nothing like a pitcher who sat out all of last season and more like the Cy Young Award winner in 2005.

Colon opened up the possibility of a series split with Chicago after the Yankees dropped two close games on Monday and Tuesday. In the first game, Phil Humber allowed just one hit in seven innings against the Bombers’ anemic looking offense.

In other news, Nick Swisher is awaiting his first homer of the year and Eric Chavez, another Yankees’ recycling project, is playing some great baseball. Chavez is batting .348 in 12 games and is playing some excellent D, allowing A-Rod some rest and the opportunity to DH a bit.

The Bombers are two games ahead of Tampa Bay going into Thursday’s game against the White Sox.

    Convergence is the way forward

    It seems clear that adding on is more effective than taking away. There is no doubt about this, in the same way that there is little doubt regarding the field to which it must be applied. And the field of the media, particularly at present, is not an exception. It is in this context that the idea of convergence as the sum of all efforts, not of division, fits perfectly. Finding the synergies within the different media – in short, cooperation – is a much more effective strategy than setting up separate newsrooms without any type of coordination.

    Without doubt, it is much more effective and profitable to have a multimedia strategy that allows the company to be present in all media, but without having to diversify and invest large amounts in new resources. With the use of a good cross-media tool this mission is achieved; in addition, it allows the quality of news products to be maintained, something that must continue to be a priority because it sets one company apart from another, something that is particularly important at a time when what is an offer is as wide as it is uneven in terms of quality.

    The establishment of synergies between a company's different media will allow journalists to create information for any channel. The main consequence of this, apart from questions of efficiency, is consistency, since the information is not created by different people and therefore it is not lost or distorted according to the channel via which it is to be published.

Many people forget even when Companies no longer trade some of them can provide copies of the paperwork or recorded telephone calls to the FSCS. This information can prove borrowers willingly agreed to take out PPI with their Loan and to justify rejecting their PPI refund claim.

A Nationwide firm of Solicitors that specialises in PPI disputes, has warned that 80% of PPI claims are rejected. This means for every five people who try to make a PPI claim only one person is successful.

However, our Company specialises in mis-sold FSCS PPI claims and has a 99% record of winning claims for clients who were mis-sold FSCS PPI.

We work for you on a completely No Win No Fee, commission only basis. This means we don't charge any upfront fees and if we do not win your claim, you will not have to pay us a penny, so there is absolutely no risk of you losing out.

We take care of the paperwork and we know how to claim back the maximum amount of money possible, this includes the money you paid for PPI, the interest you paid on it and 8% simple interest for each year you had PPI. We are proud that our average client who has been mis-sold PPI is awarded over £5,400.

Even if you don't have any paperwork, can't remember if you took out PPI, have repaid your Loan, cancelled your PPI or received a Cash Back, if you took out your Loan between 2005 and 2013 we may still be able to help you claim back thousands of pounds.

“I have been taking Rosellica for several months and have seen a significant lowering of my blood pressure. Before starting Rosellica my BP was quite high, now it is within the acceptable range for me. Rosellica is doing a great job.” — Joyce G, Ohio

For the benefit of vegetarian consumers looking to manage their blood pressure naturally, the newest Rosellica® formulation uses only plant-derived ingredients.

For generations, the edible flower Hibiscus sabdariffa has been used around the world to help manage heart health.

4Gamers LittleBigPlanet Karting Event This Saturday

November 28, 2012

Heading to Westfield Shopping Centre in White City and Stratford, London this Saturday? Well, if you are and you fancy a go on LittleBigPlanet Karting, then this is you’ll be a very happy bunny.

Not only will you have the chance to test out LittleBigPlanet Karting before deciding if you want it in your christmas stocking, our good friends at 4Gamers will also be giving players the chance to sit in their new Interactive Gaming Chair.

4Gamers new Interactive Gaming Chair boasts a Quad Motor Vibration System, taking your gaming experience to a whole new level, ensuring your whole body feels the action as it unfolds on the screen. By the end of the playtest, you may indeed want some Karting action in a sexy new Interactive Gaming Chair yourselves.

Before you get the chance to test out the new gaming chair, check out this official review from a gamer in which the praise comes in abundance:

Gamers are always looking to enhance the way they play games, whether it be on their PC with multiple screens or on their consoles, using state-of-the-art wireless gaming headsets. If you’re an avid gamer like me then you’ve probably at some point during your gaming life considered buying a gaming chair.

I have now had the pleasure of playing with the latest gaming chair on the retail market – the 4Gamers Interactive Gaming Chair.

I first had the opportunity to test out a prototype of the 4Gamers Interactive Gaming Chair during my visit to their offices back in January 2012. Needless to say, I was impressed. A few months down the line, back in July, I was offered another opportunity to play with the Interactive Gaming Chair, I just couldn’t turn an opportunity like this down. After spending some quality time with this newly launched product, I have collected my thoughts below on whether it really is something special.

The chair itself is packed full of technological goodness. Before we look into detailed specifications, here’s the lowdown on what you’re expecting from the gaming worlds newest arrival:

- Quad Motor Vibration System (QMVS)

- Built in 2.1 stereo speaker and sub-woofer system

- 30% larger than conventional gaming chairs

- Easy access control panel

- Black fine soft velour cloth, smooth leatherette fabric finished off with a flash of red piping

- Padded comfort with a raised head rest

- Accessory pockets

- Fold away design to store when you’re not using it

- 4Gamers COMM-PLAY Stereo Gaming Headset compatibility

- PlayStation®Vita compatible

The Quad Motor Vibration System (QMVS)

Vibration or Rumble as it’s known on gaming pads, make games feel extra special. When the PS3® was first launched, we had to make do with Sixaxis controllers. We moaned and complained about how we missed our Dualshock gaming pads and then a few years down the line we were given the Dualshock 3 controllers. Everyone was happy. However, let me pose a question – Why just limit yourself with vibration/rumble on your gaming pad?

4Gamers have thought long and hard about how to give you, the gamer, a completely different and unique gaming experience, to move away from just the pad, and this has definitely been reflected in their latest product – the Interactive Gaming Chair.

Imagine you’re currently sat in a chair, relaxed whilst your copy of Battlefield 3, MotorStorm Apocalypse (or which ever game you’re currently into) is booting up. You’re on the menu choosing your preferred choice of gaming mode and then you’re in the game. You’re thrown onto the battlefield/waiting at the starting line on the race track, the game starts and from the first second on the QMVS kicks in. All of a sudden you’re feeling intense vibration from under your legs then slowly moving throughout your body.

The tank is near and moving across you; you feel it’s presence all over your body. You’re speeding down the track with your opponents trying to overtake you; you feel the road and your opponents presence next to you.

You can define the sensitivity of the QMVS using the dial located in the control panel. If you wish to pick up every little bit of movement then crank it up to max, or if you’re only looking to pick up certain movement set the dial to a lower setting. You’re still likely to experience high quality vibration at a lower setting. There will be rare occasions when you would notch up that vibration dial to max unless you’re looking to make a saving on your local masseuse, opting for an intense back massage using the chair.

2.1 Stereo Speaker & Sub-Woofer System

A gaming experience isn’t complete unless you’ve got a surround sound system in place with that sub-woofer cranked up to maximum, making your neighbours china teaset shake off its shelf.

The Interactive Gaming Chair’s 2.1 Speaker System and Sub-Woofer not only cranks up the gaming experience by 10 fold, it helps immerse you into your gaming world by knocking out those little sounds you normally wouldn’t hear through your TV. To test an alternative game, I booted up a copy of Buzz! and decided to see how this game felt compared to your normal FPS/Racing games and let me tell you – I actually felt like I was in a television studio taking part in a gameshow. This was certainly different when compared to playing the game with a gaming headset on. My room was suddenly transformed due to the crisp sounds coming out from each speaker, located nicely around each shoulder.

If you don’t have a surround sound system in your house then the Interactive Gaming Chair more than satisfyingly fill that void.

Build Quality

I certainly cannot complain about the build quality of the chair. It looks and feels solid. The soft velour cloth with a smooth leatherette fabric finish feels very comfortable, and it still feels comfortable after a couple of hours worth of gaming. The finish makes the chair look very sleek and the red piping just tops it all off. 4Gamers have definitely given plenty of thought into the design of

this product by considering how the chair’s aesthetics would appeal to gamers and what it has to offer.

Storage can also be a concern when looking to purchase a product such as this, and 4Gamers have already thought this through by making the chair foldable, allowing you to easily push it into the cupboard under the stairs, or into a corner of the room where it is out of the way.

Easy Access Control Panel

The controls are superbly placed on the right hand side of the chair so you don’t have to reach far if you want to adjust the vibration, volume and bass levels while you’re mowing down your enemy. If your pad is running out of power, you don’t need to plug it into the PS3® or the mains in order to recharge – simply plug your pad into the USB ports supplied on your chair and carry on gaming!

You’re also provided with an audio out port, which works great if you’d like to put on some non-gaming headphones (or the COMM-PLAY Stereo Gaming Headset if you have one) to give everyone around you some peace and quiet, although the headphones are plugged in, the chair still provides you with QMVS feedback.

Last but not least, you have the audio in which obviously used to connect your chair to your PS3® using cables similar to ones you would normally get with a gaming headset and a power-in socket for mains power.

Additional Compatibility

With this being a SONY Licensed product, it would have been a major let down if the chair was not compatible with the PlayStation®Vita. 4Gamers certainly didn’t miss a trick there at all! The chair works flawlessly with SONY’s prized portable.

Regardless of the game you’re playing, the QMVS reacts as and when it needs to in order to give you a fantastic gaming experience.

Overall Thoughts About The Product

The 4Gamers Interactive Gaming Chair is most certainly a premium product hence it comes with a serious pricetag. Although the pricetag may be offputting for some, most gamers may look at making the jump and I can assure you they certainly won’t be disappointed.

Solidly built, the Interactive Gaming Chair enhances the gaming experience as promised.

4Gamers deserve all the plaudits for designing a superb product, one that has been sorely missed on the PS3® since launch. You can see more photos of the 4Gamers Interactive Gaming Chair below, taken by yours truly. Where To Buy An Interactive Gaming Chair

The 4Gamers Interactive Gaming Chair is available at Argos, Amazon UK, Boys Stuff, Sainsburys Entertainment, Gameseek and many more high street/Internet stores picking this accessory up, getting it ready for the Christmas rush.

If you’re based in the US, Canada or Latin America, worry not, 4Gamers will be launching the chair shortly before Christmas, just in time for you to wear it out before the festive season is over.

Keep an eye on their website (www.4gamers.net), or follow @4GamersElite on twitter for future product announcements.

Games Tested On The Interactive Gaming Chair

Battlefield 3 (PS3®)

Buzz! (PS3®)

MotorStorm Apocalypse (PS3®)

FIFA Football (PlayStation®Vita)

Uncharted: Golden Abyss (PlayStation®Vita)

Please note: The 2 speaker mesh on either side of the shoulder were silver on the prototype model. The final retail release model comes with black mesh over the speakers.

So, after reading that, will you be heading down to this event on Saturday? A few pictures of the Interactive Gaming Chair can be seen below. Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.

    Good work While you are doing that with mamu, i'am working on the JPN version of the game.

    [Register or Login to view code]

    Found out that there is a simple difference of 5 files in the subtext

    While JPN version have 916 files of subtext for almost each language, Euro version have 917 files. Of course the offset is the same. The renaming tool will work.

    So I'am gonna rename all the files first, then replace all the jpn files in order with english or French text and test repacking on the jpn version and see the result

    If I got english or French subtitles on each dialogue this would be great. I just doubt menu would be in english or French. But at least this version would made work any japanese dlc. Well the night is still young. Going to test.

    Well to do the sub work i need to rename and do a minus 3257 and reduce the number and not an addition I couldn't figure out how to do it ??? someone can edit this line to reduce the number on the name file. I need to have minus 3257. Thanks !

    Just change the 3257 in the middle of the script to -3257 and you are all set.

  3. #273
    I figure it out Dlue it wasn't that I thought at first it was the "-" I added on the line that affected the script but it was because i didn't set powershell to run script : Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

    This is done thanks for your answer anyway

    well the number of the files are set properly now, I just need to swap extension SDBENG to SDBJPN and everything should works fine on the japanese release

    Need a tool for that or a command

    Cool ! Do you gonna make a tutorial or upload the file ?

  5. #275
    mamu I just tried the JPN game with all the SDBJPN replaced and renamed with SDBENG and the game install just fine but doesn't seem to run anymore once I'am in the title warning screen.

    There is a some data corruption somewhere. The PS3 won't answer anymore and I need to force shutdown. That could mean that there is something to do on the order of the files and we need to replace them differently. Well the whole process isn't really hard to do and could be done easily again. Just need to change the number of the files, rename the extension and repack.

    This need further checking from you mamu, let's all work on the euro undub first.

    Now I'm gonna check on the Euro undub for now and try to figure out which file affect the cutscenes sounds.

    hmm. still waiting for mamu to release for much easier script job.

    Though if the english scripts can be imported to japanese base, that would be awesome, still if the undubs can be done on english release, im also fine with that too.

  8. #278
    At least going by how things went with Graces I think importing into Japanese base would create a lot more problems than importing the sounds into English base. Sounds like they've mostly got it figured out anyway besides a few cutscenes here and there losing their BGM and/or sound effects.

    Importing the English text into the Japanese version does not work the game just freezes at the first loading screen.

    By the way the text files where offset by 3254, so there is 3 new files between the text files and the sound files. One of them is a new English text file "0152859.SDBENG" that seems to contain text for menu stuff, they all begin with "STR_SYS" (except for the two last entries that are called "SYR_SYS" for some reason).

    Mamu said there are a lot of new files, does that mean that the English release has extra content?

Home PS4 News - Latest PlayStation 4 and PS3 News

September 15, 2012 // 12:26 am - This weekend we received word from a PlayStation 3 developer who wishes to remain anonymous news of a Damage Inc Pacific Squadron WWII (Firmware 4.11) PS3 EBOOT fix for 3.55 and 3.41 Custom Firmware (CFW) users.

Download: Damage Inc Pacific Squadron WWII PS3 3.55 / 3.41 EBOOT Fix / Damage Inc Pacific Squadron WWII PS3 3.55 / 3.41 EBOOT Fix (Mirror) / Damage Inc Pacific Squadron WWII PS3 3.55 / 3.41 EBOOT Fix (Mirror #2) / Damage Inc Pacific Squadron WWII PS3 3.55 / 3.41 EBOOT Fix (Mirror #3) / Decrypted Original ELF by PSFreak

From the author on the release: Hello, I want to share an unreleased EBOOT with everybody but I want to be anonymous.

The EBOOT is for the game Damage Inc Pacific Squadron WWII (FW 4.11) and works on 3.41 / 3.55 CFW.

Everybody with a DECR and extra hardware to dump the RAM can get his hands on those decrypted EBOOTs.

Below is a brief guide from zadow28, as follows:

This is great news, I just think there are other ways also to do it like full game debugging. I research this option myself, and I can see also there are ways to to obtain the decrypted eboot several ways. I really played around today, and I manages to get full game debugging.. also on the PS3 you can play the game under debugger mode.

Since EBOOTs stays in ram to the next is loaded the entire game can be debugged, so there for only the EBOOT have to be decrypted and not the SPRX if the Game OS needed off that.. when the debugging starts you can sniff with "software."

Even works on 4.11 games but prepare for huge files like 1GB when sniffing, so hope for any good suggestions. Funny that you can debug both TB and Cobra this way, all the updates an dongle updaters, just wised that DEX was around before

  • First reset in debugger mode
  • Locate the eboot.bin decrypt it, and resign with Fself one
  • Then in target manager set app_home to the BLES or BLUS folder
  • Reset target
  • Then load executable then locate the eboot.bin
  • Load it
  • Then open Tuner from the SDK
  • Then load executable there also
  • When you do this you get kicked to the ps3 debugger
  • Then in debugger you press go under options
  • Congrats you are debugging full game

So of course you say why debug the game:

1) Well the debugged of the game is done by decrypting and fself the EBOOT. Not the other files sSPRX/SELF ones they can still be signed with higher keys. This method also allowed full coredump from ram.

2) Other way i found is simply sniff with wireshark on local network, the game can be either set up as emu or just app_home.

Just sniff then load game. then in the log of the sniffer, the binary is there (HEX) still some testing.

So basically my theory is load 4.1 games with the update trick, load it in the debugger, when game is running make full dump with ram.
This should work since EBOOTs are stored in ram till the next is loaded.. still you need some kind off debug info in the EBOOT, for the debugger to load the EBOOT.

All the cobra and TB updates all the way up to the last can be debugged. Its pretty easy to do, just decrypt the updates and fself them. Run them in the debugger easy peacy. Just remember to make an folder PS3_GAME and put the USR dir inside+ set app_home to the dir where PS3_folder is.

Regarding the games all games is possible to debug. only the eboot have to be an fself one, then it dosen't matter if the other files are signed with greater keys. The challenge is to build an fself that launch the higher eboots 3.61+ ones, but still there are many ways.
can be if then game have an 3.60 patch but the rest is 4.21, then it should be apple to get some info there. No exact answer here.

Haven't tried yet on the nodrm games since I don't have any off those.. so if any have those try it out. I've made an small video that shows how to debugg the dongle updates I don't have any dongle attach... all updates and apps made can be done this way.

Also made this one about how to sniff the game, minus is that you get huge files, but you get the EBOOT decrypted.. so of course the next is to sniff emu/iso games. Also I'm on dex 4.21(affraid to downgrade, since I broke one console) If any on 3.55 can try sniffing the 4.21 emu games there and give some feedback.

Another thing i noticed is when running different EBOOTs. Is that the EBOOTs depends on many different files mostly sprx one, from dev flash from the console. So they also show in the debugger, decrypted or in the core dump.

Now i have many thought og doing this, one is maybe debug an game while it patches an game online.. not sure. Best is if we could build an debug self that runs the actuall eboot. Not unlike the eboots thats runs the signed files from console.those get decrypted. Remember if loaded from the debugger insteed of the target there is an nice little function called force coredump.

If you haven't figured it out yet you can debugg patches also .Like nodrm ones, or games. When you get the patches. you have to set the folders strait.

Make Ps3_Game folder, copy the USRDIR inside ,put the app_home ,then debug as normal. the nodrm patch would show up as any other patch for an game. (remember to Fself the EBOOT) if you want redump as nodrm did it, rebuild eboot.elf the elf would get decrypted right this time.and off coause this eboot work on any rip games.

I managed to dump sdat packed files also:

[Register or Login to view code]

Now first when i debugged the patched the target was looking for game.psarc.sdat it gave an error since it wasn't there. so i replaced the game.psarc.sdat with files that was finallyzes encrypted, just rename the files i wanted to game.psarc.sdat then in debugger, do core dump extract the sdat decrypted.

And to math flags explaination, that you cant dump files without prober flags. I haven't come across and game or app that i havent been able to dump yet, maybe you can elaborate on that, since maybe the core isn't visible but, if stepping one by one into memory you are able to just dump the last executable one.

I've made an video sometime ago on another topic, but this would go for all the sdk.. new quick video:

I was looking at the sequence from make self, making fself, making E/Adat to examine the different algorythms. This is the way to debug and reverse it in ida pro, now this stuff is to hard for me to calculate the algorythm. now i highlight on video on right mouse what to look for, so if you get the video you get the point.

I admit this is to hardcore for me.. actually you would need some one like math to calculate the sequence, even with it being wide open.

The games that needs to run as emu, actually don't. After you build the emu in ps3gen, press verify. Then select emu you just build. then select all files and folders, then decrypt. Now in Target manager set app _home. to the folder you created. IN release mode play via XMB.

From Abkarino: You do not need all this steps to just decrypt SDAT files. You can use this application (asmodean.reverse.net/misc/_/extttdpk.zip) to do this. Also you can look at this article it take about SDAT decryption and this code is tested and work fine. You can build your app to decrypt any SDAT files and run it in any DEX or CEX with CFW console.

From RangerRus (via forum.xentax.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=7610): sdat files (PlayStation 3) decryption method:

Hello. Today we'll talk about .sdata encrypted files and HOW to decrypt and then "encrypt" them back.

First, i've to say about why we should know about this. There are many games which included such file types on ps3, many of them not supported another languages (ie. russian). And for their translation we need to decrypt this type of files (for example Red Dead Redemption or Demon's Souls).

Second, here is some information about encryption. Even if .sdata files encrypted, we can create .sdata file without encryption from decrypted file and it will work in a game. For this purpose you should use a standart SDK programm "make_sdata.exe". This (and other files we will talk about) here, in sdata-archive: * snip

Next, about how to decrypt them. Well, this is hard - you need: 1) jailbroken ps3 for real tests (or smbd. who got it) 2)SONY PS3 SDK (I think, you should take DUPLEX 3.40 version) 3) an encrypted file (examples in my sdata-archive). When the SDK would be downloaded, make all preparations to work with it and go next part:

To decrypt this files we should create a special "game" and run it from game manager, like Multiman. The question is how to build eboot.bin file we need it for. Well, some part of the answer is here: asmodean.reverse.net/pages/extttdpk.html

Let's try to understand what is this all in extttdpk.zip (included in my sdata-archive). First, we should to read SDATA-Overview_e.pdf (take it from my sdata-archive). It says that decryption of this file can be proceed by a function cellFsDataOpen() and other functions, which must be used when you create a game, i.e. EBOOT.BIN.

Ok, let's open extttdpk.zip:

1) extttdpk_v1.exe, extttdpk_v2.exe, extttdpk.cpp are files we no need in them.

folder decrsdat:

2) decrsdat.cpp - source C file we will need to create EBOOT.BIN
3) PS3_GAME folder: it's done folder of our "game"
4) decrsdat.conf & decrsdat.build we no need to modify - it have to use while compiling EBOOT.BIN with decrsdat.cpp.

folder game -> usrdir:

5) decrsdat.lst - simple file where we write about what file we need to decrypt (open with Notepad++). Example:

[Register or Login to view code]

Here we need to decrypt file "datadkh.sdat" (which have placed in /dev_hdd0/game/LAUN12345/GAMEZ/BLJM60166/PS3_GAME/USRDIR/) and place decrypted copy "datadkh" of it in /dev_usb/ (ie. external HDD).

So, here is instruction:

1) Make eboot.bin with SDK & decrsdat.cpp & decrsdat.conf & decrsdat.build.
2) Edit decrsdat.lst with what files you want to decrypt.
3) Place compiled EBOOT.BIN in PS3_GAME\USRDIR
4) Place PS3_GAME folder on internal HDD
5) Run "game" and catch decrypted files on ext.HDD.

From Mathieulh: You need to understand a few things:

1. Coredump is by design, meant not to trigger when a process flagged as "not debuggable" (that's a capability flag in the EBOOT's metadata) is running.

2. It's easy to run an actual disc eboot in debug mode, it usually doesn't require anything more than using a static path for the eboot (and to have the original disc in the drive because the self is flagged with "discbind" capabilities), the thing is if it is flagged as not debuggable, even though you can run it, you cannot attach to the process and thus dump it, and coredump will be disabled.

3. The only thing that can trigger a coredump on a not debuggable process is an exception, but to have any process flagged as not debuggable copied to ram, you need to run it (you cannot load and not start a process flagged as not debuggable, unlike ones issued from fself or regular processes)

The issue is that once the said process is running, since it's obviously loaded from a signed and encrypted executable, you do not have any control of what runs there, you also cannot have your own process running on the background while this one gets started because all the sprx/processes you would have had loaded get unloaded as soon as the new executable starts (they don't have the proper cflags to stay loaded)

This means you cannot trigger the exception on your own, you have to rely on an existing bug in the actual game code (good luck with that)

Finally I don't see what wireshark has to do with this. For your intel, all 2.20+ game selfs are flagged as "not debugable" Oh ! and even on DECR-1000A, if you are running a process as "not debugable" the foot switch coredump will not work/trigger. Sorry to dissappoint you all.

Finally, if any other anonymous PlayStation 3 developers out there wish to have us share your work feel free to Contact Us or PM Me and we will be happy to do so of course!

Using this unusual means of conveyance, the plucky hero must overcome obstacles, avoid pits, and get to the goal of each level.

September 15, 2008 // 10:22 pm - Gamers and journalists alike have complained about the slow download speeds on PSN. "I would say PSN is generally slower than other services, especially wireless," says Chris Morell, senior editor and PlayStation liaison at GamePro.

However, Sony's director of communications Patrick Seybold has responded by saying that he hasn't noticed this at all, and "I have both [a 360 and Wii] at home and downloads are comparable if not slightly quicker for PS3. Of course, that's just my experience."

1969-70 Topps Basketball Set: An Essential Hoops Series
Topps "Tall Boy" issues have been popular with collectors over the years. The oversized format makes for great condition challenges and excellent eye-appeal when the cards are found in great condition. These large-sized cards were produced for football, hockey and basketball sets that Topps released during the 1960s. While basketball was the last sport where Topps used the Tall Boy format, the set has, arguably, made an even greater impact than the previously-released hockey and football sets. With so few basketball card issues to choose from, the 1969 Topps basketball set became one of the most desirable issues on in the hobby, anchored by the Lew Alcindor rookie card. In the following piece, we take a look at this essential hoops series. Click here to read on.

Catching up with Craig Grebeck
For those of you familiar with former MLB player Craig Grebeck, most recall a solid infielder who made his travels throughout the league, playing for several teams during his long career. What most people do not know is that Grebeck, like many of the readers, is an avid collector. Grebeck's collection is comprised of a wide variety of items as he collects everything from signed memorabilia from his former teammates to PSA graded cards of his idol - Roberto Clemente. In the following interview, Grebeck shares some of his most memorable moments from his career, his thoughts about collecting and what it was like to go deep against a Hall of Fame legend.

HPR - The Number One Current Finest Topps 1960's Run Hockey Mega Set
While this 1030-card mega set is not yet 100% complete, this collector's set is nearly there at 93.79%. We don't imagine that the current 8.94 set rating will last for long, as this collector has continuously upgraded his set since registering earlier this year. The key-card in this set is the Mikita rookie card, which this collector has in a PSA 8. Upon viewing, one can see several cards in this set that are the finest graded examples. Very nice!

V2 Software Enhancements:

  • Mass Deletions: You are able to delete inventory in the same way you add inventory. NOTE: If you have sold a set that is at least 90% complete and you want it to remain in the All Time Finest category, you should delete the set rather than delete the inventory items. This will keep your set completion factor intact. Follow the instructions for Delete a Set in My Sets. If you have items that are in more than one set, then retire all of your sets in My Sets without deleting your inventory. Then you can use Mass Inventory Deletion, which can be found in My Inventory, to remove the items from your inventory.
  • "Show All" in My Collection: For large set composites, you now have the option when you are viewing your set in My Set Registry to show all the items in the set on one page instead of being forced to go from page to page.

Benefits for Free Submissions Expanded
We are now offering expanded benefits for those larger sets that are being completed. Here is the complete list:
If the set composition is 1-50 cards or tickets you are entitled to 1 free grading.
If the set composition is 51-150 cards or tickets you are entitled to 2 free gradings.

Question: Do "Phantom" tickets have value?

Answer: In short - yes. Phantom tickets are tickets that were manufactured but never used in an event. They may be a result of a World Series that only goes 4 or 5 games, leaving the 6th and 7th game tickets unused. They may also be a result of an event that never happened, whether a team made tickets for a postseason appearance that never materialized or a boxing match that was cancelled. While these tickets do make for wonderful conversation pieces, most of the time, they do not carry great monetary value since they are often considered a novelty more than anything else.

Which of the following cards, cards that have yet to be graded by PSA, do you feel have the lowest chance of ever being found in PSA Gem Mint 10 condition?

  1. 1951 Bowman Baseball Willie Mays
  2. 1954 Topps Baseball #1 Ted Williams
  3. 1957 Topps Basketball Bill Russell
  4. 1966 Topps Hockey Bobby Orr

Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center
News Release

September 28, 2001

Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center Engineer to Lead National Network Project

PITTSBURGH — Gwendolyn Huntoon, assistant director of the Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center, has agreed to serve as the first executive director of The Quilt, an effort of many U.S. regional networking organizations to promote and extend research network services. She will continue in her leadership role at PSC while taking responsibility, through The Quilt, to coordinate many groups nationwide in development of next-generation network technologies.

Huntoon directs the networking resource group at PSC, which carries out advanced research and provides consulting and training for universities and research centers nationwide. In this role, she has led development of the Pittsburgh GigaPop, a high-speed network hub that provides advanced network services for Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania State University, the University of Pittsburgh and West Virginia University.

"I'm pleased to have this opportunity to expand upon the work that PSC's networking group has done in high-performance network research and infrastructure," said Huntoon. "Many of the projects The Quilt will be focusing on are of strategic interest to PSC, CMU and the broader Pittsburgh GigaPop community."

Over 15 non-profit research and education network organizations, which provide network resources for thousands of U.S. research and education institutions, have pooled resources to form the Quilt. The University Corporation for Advanced Internet Development (UCAID), a Washington, DC-based organization that promotes networking for education and research, is providing organizational support for The Quilt.

The Quilt's initial objectives include: (1) to provide a forum for best practices related to implementation of fiber-optic network infrastructure, (2) to support improved end-to-end network performance through uniform standards to measure and assess performance, and (3) to aggregate the Internet services buying power of The Quilt's participants.

For more information about The Quilt, see: http://www.thequilt.net/

For more information about networking at PSC, see: http://www.psc.edu/networking/

The Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center is a joint effort of Carnegie Mellon University and the University of Pittsburgh together with the Westinghouse Electric Company. It was established in 1986 and is supported by several federal agencies, the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and private industry.

Not Pittsburgh (Day 4+): Back on the road to…happiness?

Not Pittsburgh, PA Today I was supposed to get on an airplane that would take me to the Philippines for two months of “work.” There are worst things in life than spending the winter on a tropical beach, that’s for sure. However, it was not to be, and I’ve started to realize that I have too much unfinished business in the hockey world to be able to start something new and not be tempted to look back. I set a goal for myself a couple years ago to experience the game at all thirty of the National Hockey League cities. The reason for this was simply that I loved hockey so much that I wanted to see what the other lovers of the game saw from their seats at rinks across North America. I wanted to meet the fans, eat the food, and watch their teams go into battle if only for one night. Before I left for Korea, I had been to twenty-three out of the thirty arenas, and those last seven rinks are like a storm cloud hanging over me.

During my first post-Korea hockey road trip, I started to have second thoughts about being back in North America. If there was one good thing about Korea, it was that life wasn’t real. Now that I’m back, I wake up every morning and I’m faced with reality: family, friends, finances, responsibility. Every day is like a nail in the woodworking of my future. It’s just so… real. I started to experience a lot of regrets while I was in New York. I started to feel like I had made a bad decision, and that now I was going to have to live with not only the consequences, but the reality that there is nothing better waiting for me on this side of the world.

I had to leave Michelle’s house at 3AM that morning. So while she was sleeping, I had a lot of time to kill with the wi-fi. For some reason a bunch of my Korea-based friends decided to message me all at once. They all complained about how their lives have been boring since I’ve left, and how miserable they are now. And if that didn’t make me feel guilty enough, I was informed that my boss in Korea died suddenly a few days before. I know my disappearance caused a lot of unnecessary stress on the higher ups of the organization, so a part of me wonders if that stress contributed to his untimely demise. He was only in his fifties. He, like most of us, lived alone, and so by the time they found him it was too late. Although, I’ve seen and heard stories of foreigners suffering all sorts of illnesses and untimely fates while in Korea, I wasn’t any less shocked to receive the news that night.

I found myself on yet another monumental quest. I had to somehow find my way from New Jersey to LaGuardia. This trip was hard. I like having my car with me. Waa! Between bus rides, and wandering around Manhattan in the middle of the night, and in the freezing cold, I was pretty quick to accept a ride from a hotel limo while I was contemplating giving up the shuttle option. I was headed back to Buffalo to pick up my car and head back home. I had been on the fence all weekend about heading to Pittsburgh for the Coyotes game. I haven’t been to the new rink in Pittsburgh yet, obviously, so I have to give Steel Town another visit to complete my mission. However, touching down in Buffalo only to hit the road again was all too familiar. “Don’t go down that road again. You don’t need that bullshit.” I stopped myself from going, and did the mature thing and just went home, but not before my driver that night gave me something to think about.

The driver was a bit of a strange one between asking to go for coffee with me, and his various bits of advice, but one thing he said really made my ears perk up. Out of nowhere he starts giving me a lecture on happiness. I found this very bizarre as this advice was prompted by nothing. He told me that no matter what I do, I need to make sure that I’m happy. Jobs, money, everything should be second to my happiness. He told me that my mandate should be to make the person I see in the mirror happy each and every day. What was stranger still was that two more people would randomly give me the same advice that day.

This was very relevant advice. All night I was having second thoughts and regrets that I had done the wrong thing when I decided to fly home, but the truth was I was really unhappy in that final stretch in Korea. And in terms of hockey, hockey does make me happy, and sadly the team that I like to follow the most is Phoenix. Remember what I said about not being able to go back? Sometimes you get exposed to something, and suddenly everything else just isn’t as good. The Phoenix experience, for me, is always really amusing. Whether it’s good or bad, I don’t experience that kind of drama with any other team, and so, sometimes, the other teams just bore me. I still wouldn’t go to Pittsburgh that day, I wanted to give myself some time to think. It took days before I decided the fate of the Phoenix Coyotes in the Psycho Lady story. Now, I’m not stupid. There’s some drama and bullshit I’m not willing to put up with for the sake of entertainment. So, I’ve decided to give Phoenix one more shot, one final game to determine if they are the team that I’m still willing to follow. If so much as one thing goes wrong this time, I will take it as a sign, a sign I arguably should have processed years ago, that it’s time to move onto the next one.

See you in Minnesota.
