Mods are small Flash-based interactive elements that empower people to express themselves online. Mod functionality can range from interactive backgrounds, animations, mouse toys, games, mini-applications, to completely new types of social software. Because Wallop uses Flash, designers have a huge amount of flexibility to add functional, interactive, or decorative elements. Flash is the most portable rich media platform for the web and is fully supported by the three leading browsers � Explorer, Firefox, and Safari. Flash has many advantages: it�s specifically designed for the web, is easy to learn, allows full interactivity, and gives you full control over your content�s security.

Although reports as to the importance of drugs amongst the original mods vary, for some mods, their all-night urban social life was fueled in part by amphetamines like Dexedrine, (sometimes known as blues or purple hearts). The drugs were sometimes purchased from African American GIs stationed in the UK, who were given drugs as part of their ration kit.

Appearance is one thing, capability is another and TRD recognizes that the base model could benefit from a few staple mods to make it a more competent off-roader. The stock suspension will be tossed and fitted with TRD/Bilstein shocks, developed for dirt duty and covered in a red finish. The new shocks are claimed to reduce squat and dive, as well as increase straight-line stability. Another mod includes mating the locking diff with the Active Control computer, which will aid the FJ when rock crawling is the activity du jour. The package will ... include a TRD performance exhaust and "rock rails."

Gangs of mods and rockers fighting in 1964 sparked a moral panic about British youths, and the two groups were seen as folk devils. The rockers adopted a macho biker gang image, wearing clothes such as black leather jackets. The mods adopted a pose of scooter-driving sophistication, wearing suits and other cleancut outfits. By late 1966, the two subcultures had faded from public view and media attention turned to two new emerging youth subcultures - the hippies and the skinheads.
