Revealed: Kanye West Lets His Fan in on why He Performs With a Mask on.
If you have ever wondered why Kanye West Performs on stage with a mask on, here is a revelation on why that is.
You know damn well no black guys or celebrities making Louis Vuitton nothing. They let Pharrell make those Louis Vuitton glasses, and we liked 'em, right? They let me make those Louis Vuitton shoes and we liked 'em, right? They said, 'No, no, no nigga. Not no more. That's too much. Stay in your place. Stand in front of that show and wear this jacket I made you. Stay in your place! Do what you're paid to do! Don't embarrass yourself trying to chase your dreams. Save face.That's why I got this fucking mask on. Cause I ain't worried about saving face. Fuck my face! That sounded wrong. Pause. They finally got a headline. But fuck whatever my face is supposed to mean and fuck whatever the name Kanye is supposed to mean, it's about my dreams! It's about anybody's dreams. It's about creating. It's not about the idea about being a f-cking celebrity, it's not about the idea of being a black man trying to do fashion and shit.

Sahara TV Interviews Senator Khalifa Ahmed Zanna: "Some of the Chibok Girls are being Raped and Shot at on Camera"
Senator Ahmed who represents the Borno Central of the house of senate made a statement not too long ago on Sahara TV where he was invited as a guest. Grieved towards the loss of the Chibok girls, he made quite revealing comment on the TV station where he said "Some of the Chibok girls are being Raped and shot at on Camera"
"Actually the information I am getting, some of them are very disturbing. Although I don't want to mention but they are just raping the girls you know in camera and even showing them on video, releasing it to the public. You know somebody told me that they are being raped and in turn, it is the girl who was raped that came down and was seen kneeling down, begging the man to be patient. Do you know the reason why?....
They say when they rape them, they shoot them so therefore the girl after been raped, she curled down to the man, kneeling down and begging him to please be patient.

Happy Birthday To Joe Praise a.k.a Mr Coast to Coast
Joseph Omo Ebhodaghe is a Gospel music minister who has touched many with his amazing style of singing. His voice is one to hear and his personality one to be around always. He is an exciting person to be with and has influenced those around him and abroad with the gospel of our Lord Jesus through his ever inspiring music. With tracks like Mighty God, What a Mighty God and several anointing steering tracks, you cannot but agree with me that his is one of a kind when it comes to Gospel Music.
I am using this opportunity to wish Joe Praise a happy Birthday. Have fun today and keep shining.
The Preachers Wife: Meagan Good Says "There's Nothing wrong with being sexy." Check Out her Sexual Provoking Outfit
Do you at any point think that Meagan Good's dress sense is just too sexy for a pastors wife? Well, in the new issue of Rolling Out magazine,she talks about not conforming to conservative standards of dressing and other stuff.
"I really don't think there's anything wrong with being sexy.God created our bodies as women. He created us to be beautiful, to be sexy, to be powerful, to be fearless — to be amazing. I do respect and understand the fact that when you come into the sanctuary, you need to be dressed appropriately because you are not the star — Jesus is the star. That I agree with 100 percent.
"I feel like religion can get very judgmental and a lot of people don't approach you with love," she says, pausing thoughtfully. "I try to be conscious of the responsibility I have as a Christian, but if I did everything everyone told me to do or tried to please everyone, I couldn't have my hair a particular way, I couldn't wear certain clothes, I couldn't play certain characters, I can't hang out with certain people, can't wear a certain amount of makeup — and you can't let people run your life. You have to look to God. People will fall in line."

I've always been meaning to determine how one can decrypt the *.tivo files as saved out from the TiVo units by the TiVo Desktop application.
Turns out it wasn't as hard as I thought, just took some research. Found an application called tivodecode, but the binary I found I couldn't get to work. But I eventually came across the page here. Which linked to a java application called kmttg, which is a good app to use instead of the TiVo Desktop one. However, the tools zip file they provide has the tivodecode binary that works on my Windows 7 x86 host.

Bluenose Half Marathon 2014
Well, I'm going to start off by saying that this week's vlog is super short. As in less than two minutes short. Why? Well I spent most of the week power working in order to catch up from taking so many days off sick the prior week, which means I didn't do anything interesting or video worthy until this weekend's race. And I had hoped to get some footage during the race, but my phone case screen got all sweaty and I couldn't get it to work so no dice. Ah well!
But before we get to the video, let's back up a little. Saturday afternoon we headed into Halifax so I could pick up my race kit. We were staying at the Atlantica so we checked in and then walked over to the WTCC to pick it up and drop off some shoes for shoe mountain (runners were donating used running sneakers for charity).
This year, instead of having the full, half, 10K and 5K races all on Sunday morning, they opted to have the 5K on Saturday afternoon. So when we walked over the finish line was still set up with the clock running (the clock was just over 2 hours at this point). We went in and I got my kit, activated my chip and tossed my shoes in the shoe mountain and we headed back out and started towards our hotel which took us back across the finish line.
As we got closer we heard someone talking over the speakers but I wasn't really paying attention until we got right up to it, that's when I heard the girl on the microphone say something to the effect of, "I met my hero today, and his name is Garth." I looked and saw Garth coming up that terrible hill, on two crutches, with one or two people (I was too busy crying to count) coming up to finish his 5k. I don't know how old he is but in looking at the race results I see he was in the 60-69 category, and he did that whole 5K on TWO crutches! Everyone who was there started clapping and cheering for him and I just kept on crying.
From that moment on, this race took on a whole new meaning for me. I knew I was going into the half unprepared. In the past 3 months I'd run 6k, 12K and 16k and that was it. The 16K was 4 full weeks prior to this race, and prior to that my last run was the Lucky 7 Relay. I had no business even attempting this race, never mind hoping for a 2:15 finish. I thought of all of the people who had run the 5K, many of them I'm sure their very first race, and many of them probably worrying about being last to finish. And then there is Garth, who obviously went into it knowing he was going to be slower than almost everyone since he was on crutches, but he didn't let that stop him, he frigging did it anyway.
So here I am, extremely undertrained, but with a good aerobic capacity thanks to being a fitness instructor, getting ready to tackle 21K. I have fibromyalgia and a soft spot on the top of my left lung. Most people with wither of those conditions wouldn't even consider running a half marathon, never mind running a half marathon with very little training.
I knew I could do it, and I knew that during the race when I got tired and frustrated I had to think of Garth who undoubtably was in pain covering those 5 kilometers, and know that I am so blessed to even be out there that I had no right to complain – even to myself.
We got back to the hotel, dropped off my kit then went out and ate our faces off before coming back to chill out in our hotel room for the evening. I may have had a pre-bed nap Once flat Suzi was laid out and ready to go I went to bed, and sleep pretty darn well all considered.
I wasn't super excited when my alarm went off, but once i was up and dressed and had breakfast I was ready to go! I walked over to the start line, had my pre-workout and a bottle of water about 10 minute before the race started and then got lined up.
It was go time.
I didn't have much of a plan go into it other than try to chase the 2:15 pace bunny as long as possible. That didn't last long since I guess that was a lot of other peoples plan to so I lost him well before the 3K mark. So I depended on my GPS to keep me on track as far as pacing went. I tried to stay at a comfortable pace which was around 9:15-10:15/mile for the first 6 or 7 miles, and then walk anytime I noticed my heart rate go above 170bpm. I don't have my running time displayed on my watch (I think it's better for me not to know) but I looked at my phone when I passed the 10K marker and it was 9:15 so I'd been going for 1:05 – still on track for my hopeful 2:15 finish. At mile 6 (I think) I had a gel which I really didn't enjoy but knew I needed and I was wise enough to stop for every water stop.
I was still on track for a 2:15-2:20 finish until about km 17. That's when I started dying. I wasn't hurt, just tired. I thought of Garth, and said to myself, "Suzanne Fevens. You are just tired, don't be a baby – keep going!" and though I kept going my pace slowed considerably. By the end I was averaging an 11 minute mile with a lot more walking breaks. That's what happens when you don't train people! Mile 12 came and went. During my walking breaks I was still covering a 15 minute mile or less, I kept telling myself – you'll be done in 15 minutes or less! You'll be done in 10 minutes or less! You only have a couple minutes left! That last mile always goes on FOREVER! P.S. whoever set up the gummy bear station and gave me those 3 gummy bears – I love you! They pepped me up for a few minutes anyway!
Then I could see the home stretch, I knew I was well past my 2:15 or 2:20 dreams, but I might still make it under 2:30 (I had never seen the 2:30 pace bunny pass me) I kicked it into high gear and finished in 2:29:53. Maybe not the race I wanted, but certainly faster than the race I deserved all considered!
I got my post race chocolate milk, a banana (which was so underripe I couldn't even peel it -_- ) and a juice box then headed back towards the hotel so I could clean up before check out time. I was so excited when I walked out of the Metro Centre and heard someone call my name and saw Meagan!
Meagan had run (and killed!) the 10k, we were sure we wouldn't get to see each other so it was a wonderful surprise to randomly meet up!
Then I hiked my nearly 2k back to the hotel, had a quick rinse and we headed home and I spent most of the rest of the day like this.
So 2:29:53 – not bad for a half I really wasn't prepared for, that works out to just under 11:30/mile and I can live with that! Besides, what fun would it be if I kicked the race season off with my best time of the year? No fun at all I say!
And here is this week's super short vlog!
2013 {Mostly} In Pictures & {Mostly} About Running
2013 was the year of running. I consciously made an effort to run more this year because I knew my body needed the cross-training (my regular cardio = Zumba which = mostly lateral movement), and the only way I can make sure I run? Sign up for lot and lot o' races.
Race #1 of the season: The bluenose 10K! I'm not going to recap all of my races, just throwing in pictures from some of the more memorable ones!
The wettest race goes to the Epic Canadian 10K. I can't remember ever being so wet in all my life!
and then I got muddy,
Dressed like a pirate in a tutu,
and got wet again,
then dressed up in another pirate tutu and collected more GOLD! Arrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!
I got covered in colour,
met Jeanne Beker,
and Bob Blumer,
ran in the sun!! (That happens sometimes. But usually only if Cathy is there )
Then went to California one weekend…
hung outside in the dark early one morning,
with over 30,000 other people,
then froze to death,
but collected one of these!
and still managed to see some sights!
And then I ran once more, in the cold, with two of my fav buddies!!
2013 was an interesting year. I raised over $4000 for cancer research with Team in Training, I went to Toronto and San Francisco. I got a new (and adorable) nephew, and became a certified Yoga instructor. But no year is all good without bad, and we certainly had our share of bad again this year, mostly all health related between both myself and J, but overall I will look back at 2013 with good memories.
This year has been a big year of transition for me in my work, going from teaching almost all cardio/Zumba classes, to now only teaching Zumba 2x/week in an effort to bring my body back into a happy place where I'm not dealing with overtraining issues. That change was needed, but financially has been difficult. To go from 17 classes/week to 12/week alone caused a big shift in my income, but to then have to cut back on the most popular type of class I teach has made even more of a change to the negative. But on a positive, it's very rare that I need to take a mid-day nap anymore (I use to need to do that 2-3x/week!), and I feel better physically and that's the important thing.
What was your most memorable moment of 2013?
One that sticks out for me (and maybe that's because I just looked through all the pictures preparing for this post) is when I came to the top of the mega hill in San Fran and saw Amanda there screaming and cheering me on. That was exactly what I needed in that moment!

Switzerland, 1979 (MIFF 1981, Animation (2))
Director: Fredi M. Murer
During an ordinary weekend. disconcerting things start to happen. Alfred. 37, employed as an electronic surveillance specialist with a big industrial concern, and his wife, Julia. who works at an ad agency, are both caught up in a vague feeling of unease which seems to be enveloping the country An anonymous advertisement placed in a daily paper announces the outbreak of a mysterious epidemic, which soon spreads rapidly.
While National Police Crisis Staff have banned all media coverage, pirate radio stations continue to broadcast information: those who are contaminated by the disease will either have to act of their own free will or fall into unending dreamless sleep. Alfred chooses the former On Monday morning he will expose his company's secret surveillance system ...
This hyper-realist science-fiction parable of life in Switzerland (and elsewhere) is Fredi M. Murer's first feature, a fictional fusion of his earlier experimental documentary' concerns — since 1962 he has made 11 films, some of which can best be described as a combination of ethnography and surrealism.

2. Kelly Rae from Foxes In The Graveyard put together a super helpful post full of links and articles to help mamas-to-be. If you're expecting or planning on becoming a mommy soon, I definitely suggest checking out her post.
3. I've found another favorite from the Curvy Elle shop! This vintage floral dress is ridiculously pretty, and I love how she paired it with a red cardigan. CUTE.
4. Gemma makes beautiful jewelry for her shop, The Silver Shed, and I am crazy in love with her Folklore Moon Ring. Based off old folklore and country wisdom, this ring is customizable to your month of choice. Based on my birth month, my ring would say "Under the wolf moon". I LOVE that. :)
5. Amanda over at Little Lady Little City wrote a really great post on how to do the Brenizer Method in Photoshop, which allows you to get the look of a large format camera with a DSLR.
6. "That I" is an absolutely beautiful poem written by Kinyo, a 24-year-old poet from California. I get goosebumps every time I read it. It's something that I'd love to hear put to music, but I don't think there is any music perfect enough to accompany it.
7. The Day Dreamer Necklace from bohemian-inspired jewelry shop Soul Makes is definitely on my wish list. I've been wanting a dreamcatcher necklace for a long time, and this one is the most beautiful I've seen.
I'm completely smitten with my sponsors this month, and hope you will check them all out when you get time. Miss Indie wouldn't be what it is today if it weren't for my amazing sponsors, so show them as much love and support as you can! xo, Mandy

Because the video was over 5 minutes long, we also made a much shorter version. This one is for you.
btw, this video is by no means complete. There's a lot of stuff missing from it. Let me know what you think should be in v.2 and I'll edit it together next week.

If you want to buy a fresh, whole chicken at the store, it'll run you about $1.54 per pound. But if I buy it from my local farmer, it costs $5 per pound. I live in an expensive part of the country - California - but even the farm I visited last year in rural New Hampshire sold its birds for $4 per pound.
Why the difference?
There are several reasons why chicken from an organic farmer costs double or triple what you'd pay in a store. One is that the farmer might raise a slower-growing breed of chicken, instead of the standard industrial variety that can go from hatching to slaughter in six weeks or less. And then, of course, there are economies of scale. But another reason is the cost of slaughter itself.
My farmer, a man named Curtis, processes his chickens himself. It's a laborious task - not one I'd ever want to participate in. Quite frankly, my desire to eat chicken is just not greater than my unwillingness to pluck and gut a chicken.
And Curtis actually has it easy. He sells you the whole chicken, not a boneless, skinless chicken breast, individually wrapped like you get at the store. Once the whole bird is plucked, his job is pretty much done.

Six years after forming and three years after exploding onto the scene, Rose Hill Drive has finally issued its debut full-length. Similar to the way Ford has retrofitted the new Mustangs to recall the classic look of the fastback coupes, Rose Hill Driveis a riff-driven throwback to the heyday of AOR radio; there's a distinct air of familiarity, but this clearly isn't your daddy's muscle car. The Boulder-based power trio has molded its cadre of classic-rock influences Cream, Zeppelin, and, to a lesser extent, the Beatles/Wings and Allman Brothers into an insurgent modern-rock composite with few contemporaries. The band members are blessed with undeniable, prodigious talent beyond their years, and that virtuosity is on display all over the album particularly on such mind-melting cuts as "Cool Cody," which features Jake Sproul's soaring tenor in harmony with brother Daniel's searing Clapton/Harrison-esque solo. Other highlights include a three-song acoustic mid-section, as well as subtle organ flourishes throughout. Forget rocking your socks off: Rose Hill has graduated to rocking your face off.

uk passports
i would buy a passport if i could if they wernt so exspensive i mean for a adult passport for me im 26 and i havent got one it would cost roughly around 80 quid which is a ripoff they used to be cheaper at one point.
Re: uk passports
Count yourself lucky. You might have had to renew one as an expat living in Western Europe since they consolidated the whole shebang in Paris and then outsourced it to a bunch of complete and utter fucking thieves!
So a "where's my fucking passport, you useless bastards?" question now costs you whatever the maximum a premium rate number is allowed to charge per minute in your country, plus 2EUR a minute charged to your credit card.
Then it gets sent to you at the sort of eyewatering rates a courier company usually reserves for having someone carry it personally door-to-door.
Then you find they've hiked the *renewal* cost to well over 100 quid on top of that. Obviously they don't do new issue, but I'd hate to think what they'd charge if they could.
Now I guess this outsourcing may well save the FO money, but it's at the expense of handing a right, royal arsereaming to the likes of us.
If I *ever* find out who was behind this idea I'm going to pour a gallon of unleaded on the miserable bum-sucking git and chuck a lit match after it. If any other expats want to tip up for that, I'll bring marshmallows too.
Indeed they were cheaper at one point...
So were a lot of things. Some things are free - even now - such as capital letters and punctuation marks.
Leave him alone...
...he only got a B in GSCE igerlish.
"....expat living in Western Europe since they consolidated the whole shebang in Paris and then outsourced it to a bunch of complete and utter fucking thieves!"
You missed that they outsourced to an American company, so the money extorted doesn't even benefit the UK. It may also be fair to assume that anyone giving personal details and fingerprints for a UK passport or visa application will have made all their personal data available to the US authorities.
Count me in, I got my arsereaming courtesy of the Rome office, I'll even supply the petrol.
Used to be a tenner up Little Venice in Victoria and a days wait
I got mine in Geneva in 2006 and it was about a ton-thirty then. I had to wait a month.
@he only got a B in GSCE igerlish.
Are you sure that wasn't an A? Actually using (some of) the right punctuation and spellings would have been a guaranteed A*
Only to Paris huh?
Out here in SE Asia our passport renewal hub is Hong Kong. This results in our wandering ID less for a couple of weeks while our documents take an all expenses paid (by us) trip to The Big Lychee.
The fact that not carrying a form of ID in this part of the World is usually a criminal offence of the "bang you up in a detention center for a bit and then deport you, possibly after a prison sentence if they were in a particularly testy mood" is merely a courtesy detail.
Re: Leave him alone...
I got a U in O-Level English twice and a C on my third attempt, but that was in the days when you needed more than just to turn up in order to get an A*. Your writing also needed to be legible which is probably why I did so badly, apparently these days not being able to read the answer is not sufficient reason to fail someone.
thieving scummy bastids
hear hear! i'm up for some crispy MP-fuelled marshmallows
Still Cheap tho
It's not bad. £80 for a passport that lasts for 10 years well that's only going to cost you 2p a day to have one.
details on second page is faster?
> As part of the redesign, the personal details page of the passport will
> be moved to the second page in the passport booklet. The Home Office
> hopes that this will help speed up travelers' passage through border controls.
Okay, I give up. How does this help speed things up?
The new (since 2007) RFID equipped US passports have done this. My passage through border controls seems -- shockingly enough -- to be determined by how many people are in line in front of me.
Its standard...
What they mean by this is that the standard in passports worldwide is for your pic to be on the second page. The UK was one of the few nations which doesnt do this (your details being at the back of the passport!), meaning when you go somewhere outside the UK they first fumble for the second page and then have to thumb through to try and find your pic.
So in reality, time saved is bugger all but the UK is now in line with the rest of the world which is just always that little bit easier for all concerned...
Surely most travellers
Open their passports to the photo page before handing them over to check-in/passport control staff. I know I do.
Not sure what the average IQ of a passport control officer is.
But I suspect even the slow ones learned where the important bits are in UK passports.
But the old hard cover blue passports used to have the picture in the front. When they all changed over to the "new" flimsy red passports, they moved the picture to the back. I'm pretty sure the reason they gave at the time was this this was "the new international standard".
So, now they are telling us that actually it was right the first time? Who the hell makes this crap up???
A bit like saying that all passports need finger prints and eye scans and stuff because it's the "new international standard". It's only when you look into it that you find the only country interested in this "new international standard" is the UK.
Don't be silly...
It's like people at the Supermarket checkout, that, after a long wait make a realisation and then spend a further 5 minutes looking for their purse when they are expected to pay.
Or old a couple of old dears standing at the entrance to Supermarkets talking or teenagers standing at the top of escalators at stations or people trying to bowl onto the train before anyone has had a chance to get off.
Some people just have no self-awareness or of the environment that surrounds them...
Thumbing through
I find that the average passport officer goes straight to the photo page and then takes his time thumbing through to see where I've been previously - which with a fairly full 48p passport takes a while. My upcoming new (132 quid) passport hopefully will reduce this problem
It was mainly down to the FCO. When the new EU standard format passports were introduced back in the early 1990s, it was also to bring in the machine-readable format.. However, at the time the FCO were worried that that would require the "Her Britannic Majesty's Secretary of State requests and requires..." page to be moved. Naturally, the FCO were not prepared to countenance this, being the FCO. A compromise was agreed whereby the personal details page would be in the equivalent position at the back.
Then they went on to fight about the colour of the passport (they didn't want to switch from the old dark blue to the European red), which was only resolved when someone from the Immigration Service group suggested referring to it Imperial Maroon.
Schoolmaster icon for the history lesson.
I lost all faith in the passport office...
...when they decided that babies should have their own passport. With a photo. Valid for 5 years. For 70 quid. Wtf?
Who's the more immediate threat: terrorists or money grubbing public "servants"?
My son had to put up with a picture of him at two months old for his first five years. By the end we could probably have used it with any child.
Re: lost all faith in the passport office...
"...when they decided that babies should have their own passport. With a photo. Valid for 5 years. For 70 quid. Wtf?"
Actually, it's 49 quid for 5 year children's passports.
What's your alternative - a list of children's names in your adult passport, and they just take your word for it that a child you're taking out of the country is one of yours?
You need separate ones anyway to get into many countries. e.g. USA
I'd say the...
... money grabbing public servants, cause at least the motives of why the terrorist blew/shot/maimed/etc are pretty honest. I don't think some public servants can even say the word honest without blacking out or stuttering (Kryten from Red Dwarf saying Smeghead to Rimmer immediately springs to mind).
"What's your alternative - a list of children's names in your adult passport, and they just take your word for it that a child you're taking out of the country is one of yours?"
Well, a photo of me at 2 months old could be used for, say, my brother at 4 (6 years later). So having a photo of a newborn is bugger all use if it lasts for 5 years.
Annual passport changes wouldn't even be much use for the first couple of years.
Won't somebody think of ...
... the children?
Oh for fucks sake, can we please all just stop the infantilisation of this planet of ours. Not every single adult is a pedophile child-snatching monster. Yes, dear, I know they exist, but so do bogey-men. Ships sink but we don't drain the ocean.
So the dear child has a passport to prove that the adults are mummy and daddy - and that makes it safe so that you can sleep at night? Grow the fuck up, haven't you heard of forgery? Wouldn't it just be easier to fly out to the country of your choice and grab yourself a local? When in Rome and all that. Why take the chance of dragging little Johnny or Susie through an abundance of CCTV and no end of jobsworth checkers in the dim and distant hope that said infant is going to keep their gob shut long enough for you to get them to your destination.
Look, its simple. Shit happens to some people. But we really do not have to shut down all normality to protect all 25billion of us just because ...
Keep this up and we'll have to sit perfectly still in our front rooms unless we have a permit to move!
Lets hope that...........

"well known UK scenes"? Burning immigration centres, hoodies kicking in a granny underneath a CCTV camera, that sort of thing?
All they need now is to do something to avoid the moronic security measures at Manchester . I suggest the idiots implementing these policies should try shuffling through a line holding your trousers up in one hand whilst trying not to tip your belt, laptop, phone, wallet, coins, lighter , cigarettes etc onto the floor as they make you put it in a pile before you even get to the bloody scanners . Correct me if Im wrong but isnt this why they have bloody xray machines ? .
Don't even get me started on that.
I fly from Manchester semi-regularly and I've come to the conclusion that they only implement the bleeding "security" measures to piss people off.
It's amazing how often I don't get blown up on my way back into the UK going through much more reasonable security measures at the other end.
other ends
Most aren't as hated as the UK.
"So if we hide the chip..."
"To make the passports more secure, the chip which stores the holder's details has been moved to the inside of the passport cover so it will no longer be visible, the Home Office said."
Not trusting the Reg's reporting, I checked, and yes the Home Office website actually says "...moving the chip which stores the passport holder's details to the inside of the passport cover where it won't be visible. "
It's an RFID effing chip, FFS!! Whether it's visible or not makes eff all difference.
I wonder which consultancy trousered a small fortune of our money for providing that advice.
Re: "So if we hide the chip..."
O ye of little faith...
That's not quite the point
The UK originally chose for a format where you could actually see the RFID and it's antenna, so it was almost an invitation to go and experiment with it. Other EU countries embedded the chip in a page so you couldn't quite see the component parts.
The Netherlands, for instance, have a plastic card with all the identity details and the chip is inside the plastic.
It is very disappointing that the new format still has no shielding. OK, it's a bit like supplying an anchor because you forgot to install car brakes, but it would have been at least *some* measure of protection - unless remote reading was the aim in the first place (which is what I suspect anyway). There is an upside to this lack of protection: teh user cannot really be accused of wilfully damaging the chip if it doesn't work - it can receive interference from anywhere.
I suspect when RFID passport control is well established we can expect a good deal of Denial-of-service hacking in airports - it won't take much equipment.
>the UK passport remains one of the most secure and trusted documents in the world
Ah, so that's why it costs all of, er, well, £250 for a fake one.
Let's hope the newer ones are better than that.
(Oh, and I was expecting a Daily Mail reader to scream "if they're so good why is England full to bursting of illegal Elbonian immigrants eating the cats our citizens throw away and taking all our jobs" or something along those lines. Quite disappointed now)
True on our side of the puddle as well
It's been a good 13 years or so but when I lived in Los Angeles I had it on good authority that on a certain well-known corner in downtown LA you could get a full-set of very realistic looking CA / US docs ('not sure if a passport was included) for about $75 US if you could wait a week. You might get them in a couple of days for an expedite fee. At the time, the legal versions of said docs could take months, and cost about $75..... Since then (I think; they may have had them before), the US Government has introduced expedite fees themselves. See, competition is a good thing!
Has anyone noticed
That even though the cost of passports was put up to help pay for ID cards, the price hasn't fallen since Blunkettcards were consigned to oblivion?
Uh, wasn't this supposed to be cancelled?
I thought that the new De La Rue passport was going to be cancelled along with the ID card scheme.. it's clear that this was intended to dove-tail with the ID cards, and it seems they just don't want to waste the design.
The problem is - the design sucks. Seriously! What's wrong with the current one? The birds look nice, the rigid plastic ID page is great (no more curling up) and my passport still looks like new 5 years from issue.. and it's seen a reasonable amount of use. OK, so the Mossad can fake it, but the SPSL bird passports will be valid through 2018 anyway, so it's not a problem that goes away any time soon.
This one's just cheap trash, like the new US "We the People" thing.
IT angle: at least I hope they've taken their time to patch up some of the bugs in the current smart card OS and added active authentication.
Erm, the hitmen in Dubai didn't use the current ePassport
They used the old (but still valid) paper-passport.
So the fakers aren't even bothering with the current one, they're just making old ones because they're easier.
Surely somebody must realise that having 3 (possibly 4 - I forget when they changed) 'still valid' concurrent designs of passport makes them *less* secure, as staff are less likely to spot a fake when they're trying to match the document in front of them to multiple variants of 'real'.
It's not like cash, which circulates and therefore the banks can pretty easily 'swap-out' on the way through.
i got a new passport last year....
the pic of me is so bleached out i look like a ghost... i could be any random pasty white guy. surely the picture is what 99.9% of officials will be most interested in?!?!
passport hell
I have a fast track passport (has a little symbol on the front) so you can go through the gates without having to deal with the staff. Seems great idea doesn't it? However, when you go through it takes photos of you from 8 different angles. Does the Data Protection Commissioner know about this? I have decided to queue regardless as they have enough information on me already. I am thinking of sending my toe nail clippings to them as I don't believe they have these yet. Oh and another thing the Retinal scanning technology they deploy through airports they have found has a floor in it so now they are looking at nose recongnition instead. Unbelievable but true!
There are other, less well known, 'symbols' on the passport cover
There are at least 9 combinations on passport covers that are visible to the naked eye which identify the bearer to UK immigration.
Compare a passport issued to the military or ranking civil service types with that carried by the greater unwashed mob.
Interesting comment
"There are at least 9 combinations on passport covers that are visible to the naked eye which identify the bearer to UK immigration."
I had never heard of this before. Can you expand on this?
(Paris + question mark because I'm intrigued)
" the UK passport remains one of the most secure and trusted documents in the world,"
Mossad certainly think so.
oppertunity knocks
Will El Reg start making branded tin-foil-based passport holders?
If you are lucky enough to have an Irish parent
If you have an Irish parent, or to were born in the North of Ireland, it's worth the couple of hours it takes to get an Irish passport. They are cheaper for adults and a lot cheaper for kids (your citizenship can be passed down to your kids, and theirs ad infinitum if you do the paperwork).
The staff in the London office are friendly and charming into the bargain.
And the irony is...
"The troubles" remain the largest threat to UK security according to MI5 and anecdotally underlined by the recent spate of bombings (and evidence of church cover-ups).
Smoke and fucking mirrors: the UK and the IRA, Spain and ETA, France and the Corsicans, Germany and the RAF, etc.. Is there a pattern? Yes, you're at most risk from those born and bred in your own country.
My RFID thingy quit working ...
after I cooked the passport in a microwave oven along with a mug of water.
No remote reading for me, hands on only. The funny thing is UK immigration tries scanning it a couple of times then lets me pass on by, whilst muttering something derogatory about technology.

When will Indian cinema stop objectifying women?
By Anindita Dev | Last Updated: Wednesday, November 26, 2014 - 17:07
We Indians are a hypocritical lot. At one end, we shout our hearts out for equal rights for women, we want to be respected and taken seriously but at the other end, we let the film industry define feminine stature.
Yes, the portrayal of women in our Bollywood films is downright demeaning and there are hardly any of us who have actually ever voiced our concerns.

"No one gets before time and more than destiny"
I have been listening to the aforesaid quote since I was a teenager, but I didn't pay much heed to it. But off late, the question that has started to boggle my mind is – do 'right' time and destiny actually exist and play an important part in shaping our lives? Is our life bound and ruled by these two.

Seeing my usually cheerful friend uncharacteristically gloomy, I ventured to question his new-found melancholy when this remark knocked the wind out of me.

The Indian Railways is truly the face of India. It represents every facet of India, be it population explosion or uncleanliness. A glimpse of the same greeted me during my recent travel from Dhanbad to Delhi. The moment I got down at Ghaziabad station to head back to my home in Noida, my senses were at the receiving end of unbearable stink and ghastly sight of garbage and even human waste.

Vintage Modi Vs Modi in English – The right choice?
By Akrita Reyar | Last Updated: Thursday, November 20, 2014 - 12:17
When Narendra Modi started out as the Prime Minister, he was lauded and applauded for showing pride in his mother tongue – he chose Hindi as a medium for diplomatic parleys and major speeches.
Media widely reported that after Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Modi was probably the second leader who had addressed the United Nations General Assembly in Hindi.
BJP good at 'event management' or is Narendra Modi a 'popular leader'?
By Manisha Singh | Last Updated: Wednesday, November 19, 2014 - 09:51
Narendra Modi is literally taking the world by storm. In the short span that he has been the Prime Minister of India he has visited Japan, United States, Brazil, Australia, Nepal, Myanmar and Fiji. Some have been bilateral visits, while others have been summits and so on. And in all of his trips abroad there has been a similar streak.

If you weren't convinced by Kendall Jenner's fashion credentials already, you will be now. Kim's younger sister hit the red carpet for the Opening Ceremony of Cannes Film Festival tonight, sporting a super chic monochrome Chanel Resort 2014 gown.
The split-leg midi dress had a black form-fitting skirt and dramatic 'scrunched' white printed bodice. The round overlay looked like it was made out of circular layers of fabric with frayed edges, like an stylish oversized corsage. It added a huge dollop of glamour to her simple look. It not the first time Kendall's wowwed in Chanel, the model appeared alongside Cara Delevingne in the brand's Autumn Winter 2014/15 show at Paris Fashion Week.
Kendall teamed the look with black strappy sandals. She opted for relaxed blow-dried straight locks, strong brows, nude lips and burgundy smokey eyes. Plus, the model added lashings of sparkling accessories - we're talking a glittering bracelet, shimmering earrings, eye-catching rings and a silver clutch.
The star shared a snap of the bag - which has a textured diamond design - on Instagram, along with her two chunky Chopard rings. 'No ones putting a ring on it so I put 2 ??.... #FestivalDeCannes #Chopard,' she wrote.
[Kendall Jenner Instagram]
Kendall arrived in Cannes earlier today, flying into Nice airport this afternoon. She kept things casual until her big red carpet appearance, hanging out in the French seaside resort in a mint green jacket, black drainpipe jeans and silver pointed shoes. She shared a snap of herself on Instagram soaking in the sunshine on a balcony overlooking the sea. 'Hi Cannes!' she wrote.
[Kendall Jenner Instagram]
Kendall's appearance at the festival follows her attendance at the Met Ball last week and rumours that she's going to be starring in her very own US Vogue shoot. Hello fashion fave! She was joined on the red carpet in Cannes by Nicole Kidman, who was sporting an incredible embellished blue gown, and Blake Lively, who stepped out in maroon Gucci.
Check out all the looks...

I was thrilled this morning to hear that LA-based artist Marisa Haedike from Creative Thursday opened an Etsy store. She decided to get started by selling 12 prints of her favorite paintings for $28. I'm so happy for her, not only because she is doing something she truly enjoys (painting and working for herself), but that she makes her art accessible to those who perhaps aren't ready to jump in and purchase an actual painting. Welcome to the world of Etsy Marisa, and thank you for sending me the news. Congratulations!
Norinne DeGal, owner of Walnut Wallpaper out of Los Angeles, stocks papers like no other. Gone are the days of shopping papers that are 'trade-only' or amazingly country (in a bad way). If it's modern cool you're looking for, you can shop Walnut and find all the big names, from Twenty2 to Cole & Son, Allegra Hicks, Mibo, Neisha Crosland, Osborne & Little, and Mod Green Pod, to name only a few. She also stocks Palace Papers, which are my flavor of the moment, here's a peek:
On the website, you can browse papers by color, style, designer, or featured papers, which I love because if my heart screams for something in blue, I can search the aqua or blue collection and find exactly what I'm looking for. Or, if I'm craving a geometric print, I can search under geometrics. It's so easy!
Walnut is located at 7220 Beverly Blvd, Suite 201, in LA or you can check out their website and email them if you're interested in placing an order. Their email addy is contact {at} walnutwallpaper {dot} com. We need something like this in Boston – badly. We don't have a modern wallpaper boutique that isn't for the trade only…
Wallpaper tips: Purchase a few feet to mount on fore core and frame for the wall, or install it directly on the wall and frame it out with moldings. Cover a desk or table top (like a coffee table – looks gorgeous), create a room divider, closet doors, collage on a single wall using all of your favorite wallpaper scraps cut into neat squares, or paper a tiny room or a single wall in your home. It's also beautiful inside of a walk-in closet. Use it on the ceiling (see image below). Remove the shelves and paper the interior of a bookcase, put the shelves back in place, and voila! A completely new look. You can use it as contact paper for kitchen cabinets. Wallpaper possibilities are endless…
Or on a closet door (via the lovely Posie)
(images from walnut wallpaper, posie, lena, and palace papers)
I can't believe how huge wall decals are right now. Each week I'm coming across more companies that specialize in these vinyl works of art, and I'm constantly amazed by how some really look like actual hand-painted wall murals. I found Apple Pie Design for the first time last night, and had to share. No dorm room decor here – these are sophisticated and grown up.
Apple Pie is a decal company out of Rhode-St-Gen?se Belgium, but with a website in English, French, and Dutch (covers most of us), it's easy to navigate. They also ship worldwide, yeah! I find that their designs suit many tastes, from traditional to contemporary, whimsical, or even a little French country.
It's hard to find decals that appeal to so many decor styles from a single company, but Apple Pie seems to cover everyone. Just like apple pie, a dessert that all seem to agree on. Aren't these great? You can even dress up a child's bedroom with silhouettes, or add understated elegance to the top corner of a room (below).
(images from apple pie design)
It was exciting to discover Ferm Living out of Denmark because everything from their beautiful website spoke to me, especially the peacock wallpaper and their very grown up wall decals. So sophisticated, so gorgeous, while yet still maintaining a bit of subtle charm so as to not send your room decor into a state of absolute shock (as some wallpapers can). I love these images from Elle Decor showing Ferm wallpaper, a great example of how pairing it with ordinary furnishings really works well, adding glamour to a casual space gives your room a voice!
I think it's best to keep bold wallcoverings on a single wall (vs. all four), unless it's in a small room or a narrow hallway, then I say install it on all the walls (even the ceiling if you so fancy) and have yourself a wallpaper party! Otherwise, one wall is enough for me. Ferm also designs classy wall decals, as you'll see in the grouping below. Browse the Ferm website for more examples, and a huge thank you to Imelda for the tip via her lovely blog!
