ID cards could be a conman's paradise, fraud experts warn
Saturday 09 July 2005
The Government's plan to introduce compulsory identity cards could create a fraudster's paradise, according to leading software security and data experts.
Steve Gal, co-founder of ID Analytics, a US firm which specialises in studying fraud behavioural patterns for banks, warned it would be very difficult to prevent fraudsters getting genuine ID cards.
"My understanding is that the method of authentication will be matching of data to credit agencies' files," Gal said. "The problem with this is that criminals can get access to these files - we know of 50 million cases of personal data breach reported in the US this year."
In the US, crooks have been able to bribe staff in credit reference agencies or hack into the databases maintained by banks and other financial companies.
Experts are also concerned that government agencies' records on UK citizens may not be up to date or accurate. That would make it harder for agencies to share information in order to catch out the criminals. Barry Stamp, joint managing director of Credit Reporting Agency, said: "It's only good if you use the information and it is right."
For example, fraudsters currently find it easy to get a new driving licence simply by filling in a form and providing a photograph and basic birth certificate or passport details. Conmen obtain the details of people who have died to apply online for a birth certificate from the General Register Office. This register does not supply other agencies with details of people who have died.
"If you don't link the records to the births, deaths and marriages register, how do you know when someone dies?," Stamp said.
While there are 44 million people eligible to work in the UK, more than 60m national insurance numbers are in circulation, according to Stamp.
In fact, a wide range of different public sector agencies hold an estimated total of more than 150m records on UK citizens, with little cross-checking taking place.
National insurance numbers are held by the Department of Work and Pensions, birth certificates are lodged at the General Register Office while motoring details are maintained by the Driving Vehicle and Licensing Agency. HM Revenue and Customs holds tax details and criminal records are held by each of the UK's 43 police forces. Electoral roll data is held by over 450 local councils.
Mark Jones, a former director of fraud prevention at Direct Line, said: "The government needs to get its act together with the databases they have - there is no cohesive strategy."
Dr James Hart, commissioner of the economic crime unit and chairman of the Association of Chief Police Officers' economic crime portfolio, said it was crucial for there to be an extension to the testing process.
"This could be done gently so that the vulnerability of the technology could be looked at in a controlled way," he said. "The validity of the technology is pivotal and there needs to be more than one method of establishing identity."
Hart called for testing to take place over time so a system could evolve to take advantage of the latest technology, and warned ministers not to commit to a set time frame too soon.
Graham Lund, head of new product development at the credit reference agency CallCredit, said ID cards were a major concern.
"We have some reservations dependent on how tough the security measures are," Lund said. "We would need to be confident the system was producing bona fide cards and that there would not be a large number of duplicates."

Add personality to your drinkware with this DIY coffee mug.
The AdvantEdge™ Punch System features slide-and-lock technology that makes punching perfectly aligned borders easier than ever.
This felt wreath uses two materials, wire and felt. Create a circle from sturdy wire or a wire hanger. Begin by cutting one inch strips of felt in assorted colors using a rotary cutter with acrylic ruler on a cutting mat. Mine are 12 inches long, but any length will work as long as it is an even number.
Next punch a 1/16 inch hole one inch from the side and then every two inches along center of strip. When your length is an even number, your last hole will automatically end up one inch from the end as well. To make this process super simple, I created a 1x12 inch template from cardstock and punched holes using a 1/8 inch hole punch.
Place template over strip and mark each hole with a marker as a punching guide.
Once all holes are punched, all that is left to do is thread the felt strips onto wire form using an accordion pattern.
Twist the wire ends together. The wreath can be left like this, or I decided to twist the felt randomly for a more playful feel.
Covering a wreath form with punches adds lots of texture easily.
I like the look of monochromatic texture, so I set out to create a teal floral wreath. I began with a pre-made foam wreath and short sewing pins. I spray painted both with an indoor/outdoor paint to keep everything the same color. Place the pins into spare foam or packaging to spray. By altering the wreath base color, I am able to pin the flowers all over without worrying about another color showing through the gaps.
Next, get punching. Punch lots of flowers from teal cardstock. Try varying shades of teal for added interest. Pin the flowers onto wreath form to complete. Gently fold up flower petals for added texture.
This final wreath is definitely a party wreath. I wanted to create a colorful wreath I could bring out for any party. You could change up the colors to fit any event.
I cut out a base from chipboard (think cereal box) using the Super Sized Circle Templates as a guide. You can make it any size you wish. Paired with party streamers for the main material, this wreath is very inexpensive to make. Cut strips of crepe streamers long enough to wrap the perimeter of your wreath base. Cut four of each color and sew down the center.
Fold each sewn stack in half and trim off edges with pinking scissors or shears. I keep a pair of pinking shears just for paper projects since I use them so often. Fringe-cut the strips at each valley of pinked border as shown.
Ruffle out the strips by hand to give them fluff and volume.
Using hot glue at a low temp, adhere your first color around the outer edge of wreath base and the last color around the center as shown.
Continue with layers from each side until the middle is reached.
Do a final fluffing of the layers and you are ready to party!
I highly suggest giving wreath making a try. They are not only fun to make, but fun to display.

Like RV616, but unlike RV617 (the setting preserved in Brno), RV618 is an extended work for solo contralto and strings divided into two cori. A pair of oboes makes an appearance in the fourth movement but is otherwise silent. RV616 and RV618 belong to the large group of sacred vocal works in due cori that Vivaldi composed from the middle of the 1720s into the early 1730s. Most of these do not seem to have any connection with the Pietà and were probably conceived by the composer as 'repertory' pieces: a group of mutually compatible works from which selected items could be supplied on request to a church for its celebration of a major festival.
For the first movement, Vivaldi borrowed a fugal ritornello from one of his violin concertos (RV319). There is no justification in the psalm text for this unexpected feature, but it certainly lends energy and musical interest. In this movement the second orchestra acts merely as a reinforcement for the first. The relationship changes in the second movement, where the two cori are treated antiphonally, bouncing phrases off each other. Sighs ('suspiramus') groans ('gementes'), pleas ('flentes') and tears ('lacrimarum') are all captured expressively in the slower third movement.
The arrival of the oboes in the fourth movement injects a touch of élan, although the mood remains serious, and a dolefully chromatic bass line accompanies the word 'misericordes' ('merciful'). The first mention of Jesus, in the fifth verse, prompts Vivaldi to give the movement the lilt of a lullaby; the infant is gently tossed from one ensemble, as it were, to the other. It remains for a final movement to give voice to the supplicant's pleas in music of fervent warmth.

Lets Talk Blinds - Live Chat
or Call Us
I purchased some custom sized blinds for our bedroom. They were very odd sizes with two of the windows being very narrow. These blinds were perfect in every way. The sizes are perfect, the color is perfect and installation was a breeze! I will be a return
customer without a doubt.
Great product and excellent customer service!
We were a little disappointed in the cheapness of the stabilizing and cord hooks.
Replaced broken kitchen shade. First-time web order-easy peasy! Measuremets were exact; install went very smoothly. Also appreciate 24-hour production hold for customer questions/concerns. Would highly recommend and order again.
Grand Pleated shades feature a 1 7/8 inch pleat size. The pleat size is larger than traditional pleated shades, providing a unique and modern look. Add the top down bottom up option which allows the shade to be lowered from the top down or raised from the bottom up. This feature allows for light to come in while still keeping privacy. The bigger pleat size makes these pleated shades unique but casual enough that they are ideal shades for family rooms. As with all of our products, these shades come with a limited lifetime warranty.

Britten: Sacred and Profane & other choral works

No 3: Time and Concord From springs of bounty
No 4: Country girls Sweet flag and cuckoo flower
No 5: Rustics and fishermen From fen and meadow
No 6: Final dance of homage These tokens of our love receiving
The set of six Choral dances from 'Gloriana' for unaccompanied chorus was first performed by the BBC Midland Chorus in a broadcast on 7 March 1954; the set was later rearranged to include tenor solo and harp obbligato for a performance to mark the opening of the Queen Elizabeth Hall, London, in 1967. The dances occur in the first scene of the opera's second act, which portrays a colourful masque at Norwich's Guildhall attended by Queen Elizabeth I during a royal progress. Britten had intended this scene to combine vivid pageantry with a homage to Elizabethan song and dance, but later felt that it impeded the dramatic flow of the opera as a whole, and in some later productions the entire scene was cut. The sequence begins with the appearance of the demigod Time, 'lusty and blithe', who is followed by his wife Concord. Her song is set to music made up entirely of concords, a deliberate witticism on Britten's part. After Time and Concord have danced together, country girls, rustics and fishermen join in the celebrations before the concluding 'Dance of homage' to the visiting sovereign.

Most babies take their first steps during the end of their first year (between nine and 12 months). Don't worry if this development comes a little later for your baby. Many children don't walk until they're 16 or 17 months old. If you feel as if your baby is lagging behind significantly, however, you should bring it up with your doctor.

Consciousness In The Cell
Throughout your life, your two kidneys cleanse the blood flowing throughout your body.Some of the material that they filter out is sent back to the body, while the rest, of no further use, is discarded into the bladder. But how do the kidneys distinguish between protein, urea, sodium, glucose and many other substances?
The structure that filters waste products from the blood is a cluster of capillaries, called the glomerulus. Unlike capillaries in other parts of the body, these are surrounded by a membrane composed of three layers. And with great meticulousness, these three layers decide which substances will be filtered and excreted, and which will be retained and sent back to the body. Now, on what basis—and with which mechanism—does a cell membrane analyze, one by one, substances coming through the bloodstream and decide where they need to go?
In any liter of blood, there are dozens of dissolved compounds that reach the kidneys, including glucose, bicarbonate, sodium, chlorine, urea, and creatine. The kidneys excrete from the body some of these substances entirely, remove only parts of some others, and still others they return to the bloodstream in their entirety. But how does a piece of tissue decide which substances to discard, and how much? The answer lies in the fact that kidney tissue has been created with a perfect plan.
The glomeruli's selectivity is determined by the electric charge and size of the molecules it detects in the blood. This means that the glomeruli have the ability to determine the molecular weight of the sodium and glucose and the negative charge of the proteins all mixed up in the blood. In this way, proteins vital to the body are not discarded, but retained for further use.
But the glomerulus is made up of capillaries only. How do you suppose that a structure can possess such superior discrimination, even though it's never been educated in chemistry, physics or biology? The glomeruli can carry out such functions faultlessly because they act through the inspiration given to them by the One Who created them—that is, God.
Under no circumstances is their selection of substances left to chance. If it were, by the time these unconscious organs located the correct molecules, our bodies could no longer function. All of this is just one proof of the perfect creation of God.

Perfect for when you're short a dog or two!
Legend has it that the Aborigines had a custom of sleeping with a dog for warmth on the coldest nights. (It's a custom many of us still observe today!) Thus, a 3-dog night was seriously cold. That's the kind of weather that calls for our Women's 3 Dog Fleece Hoodie, the breathable base layer for teeth-chattering temps. Its anti-pill grid fabric traps body heat in each tiny square, yet wicks moisture to keep you from shivering with a clammy chill. Better yet, our full-zip hoodie does double duty as a functional jacket (in case you're a dog or two short).

Best Uses
The fabric is definitely not what I consider to be "fleece". Much thinner and tight fitting. Difficult to get on over a long sleeve shirt.
That said, it is very nice quality and workmanship. Just not what I expected.
Best Uses
This was a great gift for a picky wife!
Best Uses
Like it better than my hooded sweat shirts/jackets because of the longer length. Easy to layer under. Love the sleeves with the thumb holes, keeps hand warmer if gloves not available.
Best Uses
Offers a more "form-fitting" fit. Suggest getting one size up if you want to avoid a tight fit.
Would like more colors so I can buy more!
Best Uses
I bought this product to use for my daily bicycle commute. I haven't used it that much, but already the fabric is pilling. I can't use the thumbholes, because they seem to be placed incorrectly. It also does not have any way to cinch the hood tight.
Best Uses
It is a little snug, but I like it. Fits well under the fleece jacket you sell. Together they are great wind blocks. My daughters (3) think it is great...they will probably get great birthday presents.
Best Uses
I've been needing a new hoodie for my lunchtime walks for years. I'm picky — most were too light, too heavy, too tight. I took a chance on this, and it is perfect. I'm warm and dry. It's not quite windproof, but that's what layering is for.
Best Uses
I use this jacket for walking my dog on days that are about 50 degrees and above. It fits a little tight and the material feels like polyester. But it is a good outdoors jacket.
I bought this jacket for fall to wear with a sweat shirt or sweater but when I first tried it on (with a t-shirt on) it was quite snug in the arms. I bought an XL for that reason but it won't work. I see it does not come in any size larger than XL so think twice if this will work for you. Other than that it is a nice jacket.

(Arusha, Tarangire, Ngorongoro, Serengeti)
If you've lost your sense of awe and wonder, you'll find them again in Tanzania.
Trek through some of the most beautiful and diverse landscapes Africa has to offer in your own private 4x4 vehicle. Your personal guide will take you through Tanzania's greatest parks where you can search for big cats, elephants, and giraffe. At night, take in the setting sun behind breathtaking vistas and relax in comfort in well-appointed accommodations. With so much to see and do, internal flights cut down on drive time and get you to your next rendezvous quickly.
Explore Tarangire National Park and scan the famous baobob trees in search of lions and leopards napping in the branches. Discover the diversity of the Ngorongoro Crater, the world's largest inactive volcanic caldera, where you'll have the opportunity to spot the rare black rhino amongst the large packs of hyenas and jackals. Cross over into the plains of the Serengeti, which boasts the largest population of lions and giraffe in all of Africa, and thrill at the sight of the annual wildebeest migration, one of the greatest highlights of any African safari.
Enjoy a personalized vacation that best suits your needs, developed by one of our experienced destination experts. Relax during your trip with our 24/7 support and expert local guidance.
Airport transfer between your Arusha hotel and Kilimanjaro International airport with private vehicle and english speaking driver.
While you are in the care of Kensington Tours, your safety and security are our number one priority. As such, in the unlikely event of serious illness or injury, all Kensington Tours clients are covered by "Flying Doctors" Insurance policy. This emergency evacuation insurance covers the cost of the evacuation flight back to Nairobi for treatment. This insurance policy however DOES NOT cover the cost of any medical treatment received. We highly recommend travel insurance for full coverage.
From Arusha, your guide will drive you to the Tarangire National Park. This commute takes approximately 3 hours to complete.
On this afternoon drive you will notice the unusually shaped baobab trees, also known as the "upside-down tree". Look up and you might find the tree climbing African pythons. This is one of the world's largest species of snakes, but do not worry, it is also a non-venomous species. Tarangire's pythons climb trees, as do its lions and leopards, lounging in the branches.
In the early morning hours, your skilled guide will pick you up and take you for a game viewing drive through Tarangire National Park. The main highlight here is elephants, which mass in enormous numbers during the dry season June to December. General game is also good, although predators tend to be quite difficult to find. From January to May the park is beautiful and offers a more private experience with very low visitor numbers. Year round this is a unique safari experience.
On this game drive you might notice the swamps, tinged green year round, which are the focus for 550 bird varieties. This park boasts of having the most breeding species in one habitat anywhere in the world. On drier ground you find the Kori bustard, the heaviest flying bird; the stocking-thighed ostrich, the world's largest bird; and small parties of ground hornbills blustering like turkeys. More ardent bird-lovers might keep an eye open for screeching flocks of the dazzlingly colourful yellow-collared lovebird and the somewhat drabber rufous-tailed weaver and ashy starling – all endemic to the dry savannah of north-central Tanzania.
Your guide will pick you up from the Tarangire National Park and drive you to the massive Ngorongoro crater. This drive will take approximately 3 1/2 hours.
Just inside the Ngorongoro conservation area, a majestic waterfall beckons travelers to enjoy a light hike through the forest highlands. Along the way, experience the 'elephant caves': cave-like structures created by elephants digging up the earth to ingest the vitamin-rich soil. This soil also attracts other large animals like Buffalo, Bushbuck, Waterbuck, and Baboons.
Explore one of the most recognized wildlife conservation areas in Tanzania today. Depart your camp or lodge in a privately driven vehicle, along with a local expert guide, for approximately a 20 to 30 minute drive towards the Ngorongoro Park Gate. It will then take you another 20 minutes to reach the crater rim itself. The Ngorongoro Crater is the world's largest inactive, intact, and unfilled volcanic caldera. This geological masterpiece was formed as a result of an extremely large volcanic explosion which caused the volcano to collapse in on itself, thus creating a crater. The crater is roughly 20 kilometers wide and some 2000 feet deep, making the trip from crater floor to rim around 45 minutes by 4x4. The extremely fertile crater floor is the reason why there is such a highly concentrated amount of wildlife here. Over 20000 mammals call the crater home, including some of the only remaining black rhinos in the world. The crater floor also boasts one of the highest carnivore densities in the world including large prides of lions, packs of hyenas and solitary predators like cheetahs and jackals. A keen eye and expertly recommended search patterns from your guide may help you spot some of the less common species like leopards, servals, and bat-eared foxes.
You are provided with a personalized, experienced tracker-guide and private transportation today whilst exploring around the Ngorongoro National Park grounds.
Enjoy a box lunch while you travel (included in tour price).
Your guide will pick you up from the Ngorongoro Conservation area and drive you to the famous plains of the Serengeti. On this drive you have the option of stopping at Olduvlai Gorge, the Serengeti welcome centre and lookout point, or stop for lunch at a picnic spot. After entering Serengeti Park you will have the chance to enjoy game viewing as you drive through the park to your next accommodation. This drive takes 5 to 6 hours depending on the number of stops you make and how much game viewing you enjoy along the way. Expect longer trip times during the rainy seasons.
The massive Olduvai Gorge or Oldupai Gorge is often referred to as "The Cradle of Mankind." Beginning in the eastern Serengeti plains, the gorge is roughly some 48 kilometers long. Resulting from millions of years of natural erosion, this gorge boasts a steep-sided ravine that cuts and stretches its way through the Great Rift Valley along eastern Africa. The gorge is named after a commonly used plant by the Masai people with the scientific name of Sansevieria-Ehrenbergii, or Oldupai for short.
Get ready for an afternoon to remember as you set out accompanied by an experienced tracker-guide into the seamlessly never-ending expanses of the Serengeti. The park is world renowned for its healthy stock of resident wildlife species, in particular the African Big 5 which or course includes buffalos, elephants, rhinoceros, leopards and lions. Although with sightings considered a rarity, very few black rhinoceros still live within the confines of the park grounds. The Serengeti is also home to the largest population of lions and giraffes in all of Africa. Heavy concentrations of topi, gazelle, waterbuck and Coke's hartebeest provide an ample food source for local carnivores including cheetah, hyenas and African wild dog. The park is also home to some 500+ species of birds, ranging in size and weights some of these bird including ostrich, crowned crane, marabou stork and secretary bird are the most sought after photogenic birds on the planet.
This morning's African adventure begins with an exploratory game drive through Tanzania's oldest and most recognized National Park, the Serengeti. This location offers the most expansive game viewing in Tanzania. From predators to prey, great herds of grazing herbivores to tactically cunning packs of carnivores, life on the plains of the Serengeti can best be defined as a complete "circle of life." A photographic dream unfolds before your eyes as giraffes and elephants feast on tasty shrubbery, whilst impalas, gazelles and buffalos dance carefully through the plains as to not become the latest meal for on-looking lions, cheetahs and hyenas.
Spend the day taking in the spectacle of the famous wildebeest migration. This annual migration through the Serengeti and Masai Mara is one of the safari highlights of Africa. The wildebeest migration moves in a basic clockwise direction throughout the year in the Serengeti eco-system and moves north into the Masai Mara in Kenya from June/July through to Sep/October. Sightings cannot be guaranteed as the herds move according to the availability of food sources and migration movements can be erratic. The herds are accompanied by zebras and Thomson's gazelles and are stealthily hunted by local predators such as leopards, lions and hyenas.
If time allows, your expert guide will squeeze in one more game drive before dropping you off at the airstrip. It will be your last chance to see the park's diverse range of animals.
21Take your flight from Serengeti to Arusha today. The flight will do more than one stop on the way. The flight duration is approximately 2 hours.
Luggage restriction applicable to this flight: 15kg (32 lb) per person, for both carry-on and checked luggage. Your checked luggage needs to be soft-sided - no wheels / no spine, a duffel bag is recommended. A small purse/backpack, is recommended as a carry-on, to keep your camera, passport, hat, sunblock or other items you need within easy reach.
Time permitting, visit a local handicrafts market to stock up on souvenirs.

Activities range from spending some alone time in the loft reading books or a relaxing float in the tranquility pool, with the Serengeti plains as the backdrop.

"I would highly recommend the tour guide that we had in the Serengetti . He was extremely knowledgeable, very helpful and courteous. We all agree that Kensington has first class staff working for them in Africa. All the camps that we stayed at were absolutely beautiful except perhaps for the one in Lake Manyara. All in all it was a spectacular trip!"

"Our trip to Masai Mara via Kensington ran very smoothly. We stayed at the Mara West Lodge. Beautiful location atop a ridge overlooking the Masai Mara plains. Our luxury tents were quite comfortable and the staff/service at the lodge were great. Meals were very nice especially the daily soups. Our guide, Steve, was also great...so knowledgeable and eager to show us many interesting things. He planned our daily game drives and took us on a nature hike one afternoon. He clearly knows and understands this ecosystem. He has an amazing eye, finding animals in fields of tall grasses. Our entire family had an amazing time, trip of a lifetime...would love to go back!"

"Once again, a perfect trip. From Elizabeth's planning to Godfrey's guiding, we could not have asked for a more thorough and well planned safari. I can't wait to come back and do it again, this time with a Kilimanjaro climb added onto the trip!"

"The entire trip was superb - all the transfers, the lodging and the food, the safari experience and the knowledgeable guides. The guide's ability to spot an animal and identify it at a great distance allowed us to see and photograph all the animals on our list and then some. The lodgings were even better than we had hoped and the staff could not possibly have been better. Our trip of a lifetime turned out to be just that."

"We finally returned from the most magical vacation in Morocco and we cannot thank Lily and Kensington Tours enough!! This trip was beyond amazing and we are so appreciative for everything done to make this trip happen last minute for us!
We had a spectacular tour guide that spoke 8 languages, Ismail, and the friendliest and warmest driver, Said, whom made the experience absolutely phenomenal! Not only did we learn and see, but we laughed, danced, ate like pigs, kissed camels and snakes, ran in the Sahara desert under the stars, and enjoyed life - the best gift of all!

"I am so happy that I used Kensington Tours to help with my dream trip to Cape Town South Africa. I was looking for a well respected tour company that planned private guided tours that was not going to cause me my leg, lol. I begin searching companies by reputation and value. I narrowed it down to Kensington Tours because of the quality and value. I felt taken care of prior to my departure due to the detailed itinerary.
From the time of got off the plane to the time I headed back to the states, I was in excellent hands. The service was EXCELLENT! I will definitely use Kensington again. Certainly, a trip of a lifetime!"

"I have travelled all my life. I've combed much of Europe, from The arctic north in Norway to the streets of Seville in Spain, the beaches of Cannes and Nice in France and the medieval heart of Bologna in Italy. I've been on two African safaris (one tented, one not), both "luxurious." I've been on more than a dozen jaunts to India, some guided, others not. Over the years I have discovered that I had rather be lost and disoriented in a foreign country than submit once again to the unbending schedule of a guided tour. Hence I had given up tours of any kind, until Molly Kelly, an American Express travel agent, suggested I might want simply to list the places my friends and I wished to see in Morocco then let Kensington Tours make accessing them in an orderly way not only possible but thoroughly enjoyable as well. And this Kensington Tours did. They pulled our disparate destinations together and designed a far, far better route than we could ever have done on our own. They satisfied all our requests and threw in delicious additions, areas of interest we had never considered or even heard of. Our accommodations were well within our means and wonderful. Our guide and driver, not to mention our Mercedes SUV, could not have pleased us more. In other words, thanks to Molly and her recommending Kensington Tours, we had a sensational holiday. "

"Africa had always been a myth in mind since I was child that was up until a week ago. I just returned from an epic safari adventure! Kenya, Tanzania and the Maasai are sorely missed.
Words cannot fully express the magic of this ever-flowing journey. It was awe-inspiring, breathtaking, free and powerful. My mind keeps playing tricks on me; thinking rather hoping that I'm going to see a giraffe cross a busy NYC street :)
The memories will resonate for a lifetime. To boot, I went on this trip solo; female traveler. Not sure any of it would have been possible w/out Kensington Tours!!! Thank you..."

"I had a wonderful trip visiting the mountain gorillas in Uganda. We were able to get really close to the gorillas and watched their interactions with each other. The local people are so gracious and made every minute a delight. The accomodations were great. I loved waking up in the morning to the sounds of the forest. The added luxury of a massage was a great way to end the trip!"

"Our family of 6 traveled to Morocco for a 9 day Imperial cities discovery, I was absolutely amazing. Our guide Lahcen Zaaim was the best guide we have EVER had and we have traveled to many countries. There was not one subject that he was not knowledgeable about. He made the trip sooooo memorable. He was so flexible and when he picked us up in the mornings to head out, he was talking nonstop to tell us soo much about everything we were seeing. There was soooo much to see in Morocco and he made sure we saw it all.. He truly has a gift in the touring business, you feel as if your leaving your best friend when the trip is over. When we got to the airport in casablanca, he spotted us before we saw him and of course, we asked him, how did you recognize us? He even went as far as to get the King of Moroccos artist to meet us at our riad the night before we left to return home late to do our names in moroccan arabic to frame, They were beautiful, He showed us a picture of the Kings Face he had done for the Palace! Lily Baffour from Kensington planned our trip and she was amazing, planning everything as she thought we would like based on what I told her. She did an Outstanding job and literally sent our Iteniaries by next day air in a beautifully done spiral bound personally book for each family that was going on the trip, SOOOOOO IMPRESSED and she even got the guide we requested!!!! I cant say enough about this trip and Kensington, we will definitely use again!!! We experienced a VERY different culture in going to Morocco and thats what we wanted, a Very different exotic trip and thats what we got!!!! Again our accomodations we Top Notch, staying in the TRuly authenic Riads, they were SOOOOO Luxurious, Plan on taking another suitcase or buying one there because you will buy more things to bring home than any other trip because of all the Handicrafts there, especially in Fes!!!

This is great for girls and guys. I like it because when I go out, I don't like to carry a lot so this works great! And I really like that it is leather, very durable.
Very nice. Best case I could find for my new phone. Would definitely recommend it.
I was very surprised at the high quality of the product for the price. It has saved my phone several times, I would highly recommend the product..
I had this product 2 days and it broke, what a piece of junk.
Very simple and inexpensive and most of all, it works for me!i like it and it is a whole lot cheaper than an Otter Box!
This is a great product. I was looking for something that would help protect my Galaxy 3 phone/screen. This product does that and more! It holds my license and credit card, it's not bulky, and it looks cool. Most importantly the phone fits in the case like a glove. With my previous case when I closed it, the phone would turn off. Not so with this case. I don't have anything negative to say about this case. It is a great buy!
I've had more people ask me where I got this. I've used the case to stand the phone because I use it as an alarm clock. The slots are great for credit cards and cash. Slim profile with good protection. Really happy with my purchase.

Consciousness In The Cell
The Lungs Have Their Own Emergency Defense Unit
Some cells in the lungs actually spray a natural biocide over bacteria and other microbes. This way, microbes and bacteria that enter through the respiratory tract and manage to reach the lungs alive are killed there.
Obviously, it's not possible for lung cells to recognize harmful substances, much less know to produce whatever's needed to neutralize them. Cells are devoid of abilities such as thinking, cognition, decision-making, or planning. These are all products of God, the One Who created it all in harmony and balance, and regulation with the heavens and the Earth. By making just one cell perform acts with such consciousness that dumbfounds human beings, God displays signs of His infinite knowledge and wisdom.
Cells in the lungs have their own defense system. Immediately identifying microbes that enter the body through the respiratory tract, they secrete a substance that neutralizes these microbes.
That a tiny cell invisible to the naked eye can distinguish between microbes and other substances is a great miracle, because if it makes the wrong decision, it could neutralize a substance the body actually needs.

Found October 14, 2013 on The Roosevelts:
Feuds: the players start them and the media perpetuates them. But, with the inherently competitive nature of sports, it seems that people thrive off of a good dramatic conflict. Feuds pervade sports and have given pundits, reporters, and other media members a good storyline to boost the ratings of an upcoming matchup. But, what are some of the best feuds in sporting history? Well, RSVLTS is here to chronicle some of the best, most intense, and most comical feuds in sporting history. Before beginning, it must be stated that this list will only cover the four major team sports in America– a criteria that disqualifies the likes of Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. But, without further ado, the best sporting feuds: 12. Philadelphia Eagles Fans v. Santa Claus This is more of a one off event than a feud. But that doesn't make it any less hysterical. In the late sixties, the Eagles were bad to the point of making their 2011 "Dream Team" counterpart seem worthy of their hype. In a winter game,...

Five Rules For Breaking Up With Your Lovers
Breaking up is a little hard thing to do, but you have not choices. Your heart still sad or in some place. Someone said that winter is not the right time to break up because it is too cold and need to hung each other and join hands. In fact, we all need warm hands,(…)

If you didn't gem for socket bonuses you'd probably make it. Just gem for the meta. And you are missing key enchants like defense to boots...
I have just gathered a set for this but with elixrs food am only getting 99.25% with a lil over 3k block will i hit the avoidance once fully raidbuffed and is the block enough?
my gearset here http://www.chardev.org/?profile=454678
still looking to get the lavinthors talisman he jus never seems to spawn when im there
Appreciate any help
You are gonna gain around 200 agility from kings and totem/horn of winter.... You could come up a little short there.
The defense enchants you are still missing should make up for the gap, though.
Edit: I brainfarted the wrong number in there.

thanks for the replies i got hold of lavinthors talisman and put the enchants on and have hit the cap with about 3k block hope that does it
I am not suggesting you can't die but done "AS INTENDED" it's pretty trivial in ICC gear.
Many actually questioned whether using a block set was legal or an exploit at the time because it wasn't really how they intended you to do the encounter in exactly the same way as the rogue who hit 102.4% dodge and soloed Gruul in his day.
I question why you would bother when it is a crap load easier to simply have another tank hell you could have 1 tank on each add what does it matter the raid puts out so much more dps.

So I'm not sure who's writing these reviews but I don't recommend this product at all. Its cheap, super cheap in fact, it came with damage to a lot of the actual mats and there are way too few end pieces to round off the set. I really wanted these to be nice but they are not. So don't get caught up in the reviews because who knows who posted all of those. Not worth the investment here!
I agree with other postings that this has too many corner pieces and not enough straight ones for the edging. It doesn't really matter unless you have to have it looking "perfect." It does smell a bit. It's in my garage and I unpacked and put together yesterday. By this morning, the smell was already better and I was working out in a closed garage. It does slip a tiny bit but it was only when one foot was off the mat and one foot was on and I was doing plyometrics. I may put some rubber carpet pad underneath. It has helped complete my gym makeover for my garage and I think it is a great product for the price. I purchased the 96 pack and may purchase more to expand my area and have extras in case of damage. I would definitely buy this again!
I bought these mats to cover my hardwood floors while my baby was crawling and learning how to walk. They smell so much that I just left them in the open box to air out for a few weeks. That didn't do the trick though. I had to wipe them all down with soap and water since my baby would be all over them and that did get rid of the smell. These mats do not take their shape back after something has made a dent or mark in them. The alphabet playmat that I have takes back their shape, so I guess the material of these mats aren't as good in quality.
If you are looking for basic inexpensive floor mat tiles these will probably work. They do not come with enough edge pieces so you will not have a finished look. I bought enough to make an 8 x 10 area and had 16 corner pieces and only enough edges for one side.
The tiles are nice and thick and very easy to wipe down. The surface is slightly slippery which I did not expect. There are not enough boarders to go around the entire surface and some boarders are larger than the squares allow, so if you need wall to wall you will have to do some cutting even if the sizing is correct.
We have a finished basement and have had it flood 3 times through 3 different leaks with up to an inch of water. So after tearing out subfloor the first two times, we decided to pursue an alternate route. We purchased these interlocking tiles for 2 rooms in our basement. In one room, we used these under wall to wall carpet in place of padding. Since these are waterproof, if our basement floods again, all we have to do is roll up the carpet and pick up the tiles, clean them and carpet, and put it all back down. No padding to replace. The cushioning and height of these tiles is fairly equivalent to what we had with the carpet padding so it works well for us. We did not tack the carpet down since it has already been installed and stretched previously it was already laying flat. It just tucked under the baseboards and looks professionally installed. The other room we used these in is our home gym. In that room, we had very large rolls of 1/4in rubber gym floor installed with a subfloor underneath. After tearing out the subfloor, we put these tiles again directly on the concrete since they are waterproof, then put our gym floor back on top. The cushioning in our gym is even better than before. These tiles as subfloor/carpet padding are a great alternative in basements. I wish we would have done this sooner. To address other reviewers comments, we noticed no smell with these and they are easy and fast to install. Since we put flooring on top of them, we did not care about having nice clean edges. All we did was install the flooring on to bleached and sanitized concrete, then mopped the the tiles, and put our nice flooring on top. If you were to use this as a stand-alone product in a gym, I can see these being problematic with possibly wanting to pull apart during plyometric moves. Overall, we are very pleased with the purchase for our use.
I am using it on my garage floor...the write up said this was feasible. It is OK, but should not be used for parking a car on, the mats will separate. Thankfully, we always have a rug down in the garage, so the car is still on the rug on the mat and does not separate that way. I did the whole garage, and everywhere else it is great. It looks nice, feels nice to walk on and is easy to clean...just mop. Easy to put together, easy to cut it to piece, and you get plenty of end pieces...I did my garage in a few hrs. Overall...good product.
Installed in a gym and is supporting a heavy weight set and treadmill. Great for assembling furniture on to avoid floor damage and will drag across hardwood floor smootly to avoid damage. Great multi purpose flooring, is really surprisingly strong! Would recommend for a gym or garage, just great all around flooring.....
These mats work well. They're easy to install. I agree with everybody else that they could use more side pieces and less corner pieces. One word of caution, they are pretty slippery, so I wouldn't recommend them for power cleans or any type of exercise where there is a lot of movement such as aerobics.
I was expecting flooring a little less squishy. It got crushed under the treadmill. Also it only came with a few edge pieces so if I want the floor to look finished I have to order more edges. It came together very easily and looks very nice, but shows dirt VERY easily. For the price it is very good though.
