IZAMAL, Mexico (Reuters) - Thousands of mystics, New Age dreamers and fans of pre-Hispanic culture have been drawn to Mexico in hopes of witnessing great things when the day in an old Maya calendar dubbed "the end of the world" dawns on Friday.

But many of today's ethnic Maya cannot understand the fuss. Mostly Christian, they have looked on in wonder at the influx of foreign tourists to ancient cities in southern Mexico and Central America whose heyday passed hundreds of years ago.

For students of ancient Mesoamerican time-keeping, December 21, 2012 marks the end of a 5,125-year cycle in the Maya Long Calendar, an event one leading U.S. scholar said in the 1960s could be interpreted as a kind of Armageddon for the Maya.

Academics and astronomers say too much weight was given to the words and have sought to allay fears the end is nigh.

But over the past few decades, fed by popular culture, Friday became seen by some western followers of alternative religions as a day on which momentous change could occur.

"It's a psychosis, a fad," said psychologist Vera Rodriguez, 29, a Mexican of Maya descent living in Izamal, Yucatan state, near the center of the 2012 festivities, the site of Chichen Itza. "I think it's bad for our society and our culture."

Behind Rodriguez, her two children played in a living room decorated with Christmas trees and Santa Claus figurines.

Mexico's government forecast around 50 million tourists from home and abroad would visit southern Mexico in 2012. Up to 200,000 are expected to descend on Chichen Itza on Friday.

"It's a date for doing business, but for me it's just like any other day," said drinks vendor Julian Nohuicab, 34, an ethnic Maya working in the ruins of the ancient city of Coba in Quintana Roo state, not far from the beach resort of Cancun.

Watching busloads of white-haired pensioners and dreadlocked backpackers pile into their heartland, Maya old and young roll their eyes at the suggestion the world will end.

"We don't believe it," said Socorro Poot, 41, a housewife and mother of three in Holca, a village about 25 miles from Chichen Itza. "Nobody knows the day and the hour. Only God knows."

FOREIGN INVADERS

Tracing its origins to the end of the 4th millennium BC, the ancient Mesoamerican civilization of the Maya reached its peak between A.D. 250 and 900 when they ruled over large swathes of southern Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras and Belize.

Famed for developing hieroglyphic writing and an advanced astronomical system, the Maya then began a slow decline, but pockets of the civilization continued to flourish until they were finally subjugated by the Spanish in the 17th century.

Today, ethnic Maya are believed to number at least 7 million in Mexico, Guatemala and other parts of Central America.

The vast majority are nominally Roman Catholics, though many still uphold elements and rites of their old beliefs. According to a 2000 Mexican census, there were also a few hundred Jews and handful of Buddhists among the Maya.

Tales of human sacrifice, pioneering architectural feats and an interest in the stars burnished the Maya's supernatural reputation. So too, say experts, has the misguided notion that the Maya died out with the arrival of the conquistadors.

"That idea that they disappeared culturally back in the deep past is one of these things that feeds into this idea that they are mysterious, that they are otherworldly," said David Stuart, a Maya expert at the University of Texas.

The reality is that many Maya live in rural areas where water can be scarce, communications poor and education patchy.

Even as some shrug their shoulders at the awe and reverence December 21 has inspired, others worry it has become a free meal ticket for sharp-witted businessmen.

"There's the legend and there's the reality," said Yolanda Cornelio, 21, a tourism official in the city of Merida, whose mother speaks Maya at home. "Some people take the legend and abuse it, using it to make money. There's a lot of con artists."

With scores of old Maya ruins, temples and monuments dotting the landscape between southern Mexico and Central America, locals have plenty of opportunities to impress foreign visitors.

One of the most popular attractions lies in a leafy grove near the crumbling pyramids of Coba, where a large stone tablet records the Maya creation date of August 13, 3114 BC - quite literally the cornerstone of the 2012 phenomenon.

"This is a very powerful, sacred place," said Jonathan Ellerby, 39, a writer from Canada. "I feel something energetic, emotional, and I feel I'm in the right place. I really do."

...and in other news,
Christina Aguilera is a Mouseketeer for life! The singer, who spent two years on Disney’s “Mickey Mouse Club” in the mid-‘90s (along with Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Ryan Gosling!), has been proudly representing her roots with the same low-cut, ripped-up Mickey Mouse shirt that she’s worn on three different occasions in the past month.

[Related: What Does 2013 Have in Store for Christina Aguilera?]

“The Voice” coach first rocked the tee for a November 16 dinner date at Bouchon in Beverly Hills with her boyfriend of two years, Matthew Rutler, when she paired it with an uncharacteristically-demure gray blazer and black pants. Then, just nine days later, there it was again at a launch party for the Samsung Galaxy II, except that time, Aguilera gave the beloved cartoon character a bit more of an edge with her studded leather jacket, black leggings, and a leopard print hat.

But she surely would have made Mickey blush with the ensemble she went with this past Tuesday, her 32nd birthday. The “Your Body” singer turned the same already-revealing t-shirt into basically a dress when she wore it with only fishnet stockings and a Santa hat for a “Voice” finale after party in Los Angeles.

[Related: Christina Aguilera Pays 'Tribute' to Her 'Mickey Mouse Club' Days With a Revealing Look]

Aguilera’s dedication to Mickey Mouse goes beyond her clothing. She has been spotted at Disneyland in California a number of times over the years, most recently on November 26 when she spent the day at the Happiest Place on Earth with her son, Max, who turns 5 in January, and Rutler … all wearing matching Mickey hoodies, no less!

obysolid: becos i ask 4 help i should upload a snapshot of my account. I just need a loan which i will repay after 1 week wit d interest fix on it. Please u guy should help out i have no money 2 start afresh
Xpset has said it all. TRUST is a rare attribute to come-about in a forum like this. First, a guy uses your username (a fake version) to scam members of the thread. Next, you release a news about your account being drained. Now, requesting a screen shot that clearly indicates a one-time transfer of $2160 on the specific date; shouldn't get you offended.

Here's why:

We're not saying you made up this story o. But what if you did? What if you placed a bet with your entire account and lost, then came up with that story.

Also, by your story, you can't bet at the moment because you emptied all the money in your bookie account to the last kobo. Question is: why would you do that when you still had the intention of betting with that same bookie? Atleast you should have something in your bookie account to bet with.

Personally, am not saying i don't believe you o (speaking for myself). Its just that some questions still need answering which is why i humbly requested a screen shot.

Finally, remember, this is an anonymous thread.

BTW, independenttipster is not bad. But if you go in -hook line and sinker, your account will just keep hovering (as in stuck in one place in the long run). You can risk your bank on his picks with odds of 1.50 and above only though. That way, things might improve.

BE WISE
Believe what you choose to believe. Yes, we all know we must lose money in this business everyday in order to make more money. We already know that, in this business, we're swimming against the tide. Many have given up. Many more will give up. But we are not going to give up. Even if i lose my bank a million times.

I believe its time to share this fact with you. I hope you'll be able to understand what am about to write.

When i said we're on the right path, i knew exactly what i was saying. You see my friend, life itself is a big pyramid. Look at the food chains for instance: e.g Birds eat rats - rats eat grass hoppers - grasshoppers .. bla bla bla. Notice the hierachy? Now, look at the economics part of life. Pyramids (hierachy) also everywhere. The civil service (commissioner-permanent secs- to the baseline workers)
What's the point. Hierachies exist everywhere even in punting . Problem is working your way to the top of the hierachy takes time and you need to climb higher to control more income. Another problem is someone needs to like your face for you to move up. Meaning, if no one likes your face for many years, you might end up poor. Another problem is the limited number of people that can actually move up the pyramid. E.g Not more than one person can become president of a country every four years.

Good thing is, in this business, i don't need likes to move up the pyramid. Plus, millions and millions of people can make millions at the same time (ofcourse provided millions of people also lose money sha). You get it now? I won't waste my time on an hierachy that might fail in a couple of years because i didn't resume work early.

I don't expect you to understand what i just wrote (i had to cut it short). But if you do, and you believe, then liberation is not far off for you.

jasper7: I finally cracked it! the Virtual soccer for Bet365. I always knew there was a code that virtual soccer work with, given the fact that it's a software. I felt all that was needed was to find the code and the pattern they use and I'll be smiling largely to the bank. it's now 3 days since I cracked the code. and I am indeed smiling (not really as largely as I expected). but, smiling to the bank. I hav been on my system ever since then. doubling my money over and over again! aargh!!! finally betting would pay off. It feels good to be a computer/statistics whiz. It's kind of a complex code and the pattern is erratic so the crack is not 100% effective. maybe 70 or 80. and I would hav loved to share or teach you guys. It's just that they change the code every 3hrs. so, I cant give u guys a permanent gateway to plenty money. but I would find a way to let you guys in on it. Forza Bet365!
The miracle word here is STATISTICS. Congrats dude. Enjoy your money-well while it lasts. Its similar to real world betting as well. Holes everywhere. Spot them and you'll be fine.

Wundakind. The answer is because you're still betting on a higher percentage of chance/luck. You need to reduce the luck in your selections by doing more research. Plus, with good money management and patience, your account will grow steadily. NB: One or two is sure to go wrong if you take too many picks from a single market in a single day.

If you cannot research more, follow Bukahands, Sanchez4eva, Obysolid, CoolG's picks. Take them as singles only and you'll be smiling to the bank everyday. Plus, take picks of not below 1.50. That way, you loses will be recovered quickly. That's what am doing presently. That inter match was a combo i took last week o.

On the contrary,i didn't punt today, so i had all the time for other things. You're wrong because many of us still have very healthy account balances. In fact, mine is growing as we speak. I didn't even place a single bet today but my account will grow in the next 30mins or so, when Inter wins their match.

'71 Inter - Verona 2-0.

We keep screaming money management but i guess you didn't listen. Personally, i have also learned never to lend punters money (i'd rather give away when i can afford to). Why? Because, a punter that loses his bank is never guaranteed to return my money if i lend him/her. BTW, Pro2 is also a forex trader o. *Just saying*

The difference between you and i is simple. This is my last bus stop. I have no other choice but to make the doh here. That's why am extra careful in this business. A lot of us punt like we have extra money stacked somewhere, which is not supposed to be so.

Best of luck with your new job (that's if you've found one). The good thing is, we're approaching perfection on this thread. Soon, you'll be able to take any pick from here and you'll be sure to get your money back with returns. It won't come easy, but we're getting there. Check picks in the past few pages and see for yourself. It is well.

What if you start with $10. Will it be okay? My suggestion is this. Let everyone, who can afford to presently, donate a sum of $1 each. If this will be okay, please indicate and lets make something happen. Or if anyone can afford to donate the entire 50, then fine.

Please, if you can prove your ordeal with a screen shot, it will be also better. This is to prevent others from fabricating such stories in the near future just to get our donations.

kingphemy: Over several pages and no constructive post or picks...Are we not self-destructing the thread?
Issues at stake:
(1) Rule No. 1: No advert
(2) what is an advert?
(3) Is zionbaby guilty?

Advert:Telling people or posting about a product, service or referral.
We already finished this issue in season 3. You're correct, an advert is telling people about a product/service as you pointed out. I remember proving (in a long arguement)to Toluxa that zionboy's tradeclub is a product/service (you can refer to season 3 for the full arguement). And zionboy's post is an advert because it includes a brand name, contact number and information to his subscribers. Even Expertman (that also has subscribers), as big as he is, stayed true to the rules.
Is zionboy guilty? Absolutely YES.
