ID Cards cost cut to £5.6bn
The cost of the government's planned ID card scheme has dropped to a bargain £5.6bn the government's latest six monthly report into the project's progress reveals. The £5.6bn figure covers the total cost of providing ID cards and biometric passports to UK and resident Irish citizens and foreign nationals wishing to extend their …
"delayed applications"
I "delayed" my passport application - by applying 5 years early for a new one. That way, I'm off the ID card database for the next 10 years, by which time perhaps they'll have scrapped the whole thing (or at least made it secure). I guess enough people did that for it to affect the budget! Shame they didn't get the hint.
All we need is 5.4 Bn. Ok, so if there's cost overruns, all those MPs voting for it pony up the difference. If the whole thing falls through, we get back all the dosh.
The first should be easy peasy: they did a lot of calculations on cost, so they wouldn't get it wrong, would they.
The second is to stop Blunkett's old company (the one he went to when he was kicked out of office as an MP) getting a fat paycheck and then, if it looks to be insufficient, closing the deal down.
If they did their sums correctly, no worries, eh?
Or they could be delaying..
Becuase it's stupidly expensive to get a new one!!
Effectively a tax on poor people choosing to travel abroad.
So they don't think
That people aren't renewing their passports because they don't want the biometric version and the ID card? Or that they're shocked they might have to go to a centre and be grilled by an official to prove that they are who they say they are?
Surely if more people are going on last minute holidays and discover at the last minute they've got to renew their passport, they're still going to have to renew their passport?
And if having a photo driving licence is meaning that less people need a passport as a form of ID, why exactly are the Government pushing ahead with ID cards?
/me reinforces tin foil on hat.
once EDS, Capgemini and capita have sucked the budget dry you wont be able to afford a tinfoil hat!
£5.4bn so what do we recon on the cost overrun? two times? Then there is what we need to pay to get the thing (stealth tax) and how short they'll be becouse people will be out burning their ID cards (Poll tax returns?) then there will be the breach of contract costs when the new government goes "wooah this is a crack baby we must drown it" so again I think I've talked about us getting raped by the government who is getting raped by consultants? Except in this case it's all being driven by crazy people in the police, the ones who think spending a few million quid having those stupid body scanners for a few months at Euston was a good idea. So £12 billion quid + steal tax + the fact that in the end they give up. Woohoo.
That aside from the fact that the damn thing wont work! Much like that IT for the NHS travesty, and the fucking CPA they built that piece of shit department from the ground up and the computers never worked.
O well, some rich rich consultants. DRM, Copyright snooping for ISP's and a National ID scheme. Man my ass is gonna hurt by 2012 O shit and the olympics. I may need some surgery...
I can't afford to renew my passport!
I need to renew my passport but can't afford it. The price has doubled in the last 4/5 years!
It's £72 now - and the price keeps changing so often they don't even tell you the fees in the application pack - they make you check online incase they've increased it again..
As so many things require you to have photo ID it's as though they are making you want an ID card by making passports extortionate and yet vital for everyday life.
New passports...
I got myself a passport a year ago, not because I'm planning on travelling abroad any time soon, but because I *might* want to in the future and I didn't want a "biomentric" one
I now have ten years to wait for the Passport/ ID card system to collapse under its own inadequacies and incompetence!
yeah - right - not....
any major revamp to Government systems has ALWAYS caused chaos/delays/cost over-runs so do we really expect this to be any different?
DVLC and Passports last time are a prime example.
It's no good even having a "penalty clause" built in so the preferred company has to make things right, they will just go bust on Monday and re-open under a different trading name Tuesday, good ol' taxpayer will pick up the difference.....
Big Brother in-action
"...we know there are more journeys, but we don't know if that means more people are travelling or its the same people travelling more often."
As they've been swiping my passport for years and recently taking my photo at the airport you'd think they'd be able to work that one out quite easily wouldn't you?
My only consolation is security state being constructed is run by people who are too incompetent to use the data for anything.
If you gave that information to a direct mail company you can bet your last £1 they could tell you who was travelling, how often and where to send the brouchure!
And don't forget the cost of the photos, the buggers as so damm picky about the exact position of your head, you have preactically no hope of getting a usuable set form a photo booth so you pay extra to slappy-snaps to take them so you can at least get them recooked when the first lot are rejected!
This delay they're talking about is clearly negative since lots of people (self included) have clearly renewed early to avoid being put on the register.
The new biometric passport is very pretty btw, although I hope no-one wants to add anything to the observations page; it's covered with the chip & aerial. Just need to paste some tinfoil inside the front & back covers, accidentally poke through one of the connections or microwave it. Which would be best?
name a secure smart card game
As there has never been a secure smart card (ask the TV network providers) what is the point of them? I know they'll respond but this is unhackable, again ask the TV network providers how many revisions of unhackable smartcards they have been sold. Perhaps they should look at who hacks smartcards and who are they aimed at stopping. It all seems a bit like Chip and Pin again which has no real impact on fraud but has lets the card providers off the hook.

Tomorrow appears to be the first Gay-Straight Alliance Day, and in San Francisco, the GSA Network will be joined by Senator Al Franken to honor the day intended to mobilize youths and adults to try and get the Student Non-Discrimination Act passed.
According to the Press Release:

Phone: 415.375.9526, Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
In celebration of the first annual National Gay-Straight Alliance Day, Gay-Straight Alliance Network and Senator Al Franken of Minnesota will call on all United States Senators to support the Student Non-Discrimination Act
DOWNEY – It is 2:30 on a Thursday afternoon and room S3 at Downey High School (DHS) is buzzing. The school day has already ended, but students keep filing into Mr. Zakour's classroom, chitchatting with friends and enthusiastically plopping down into desks. Before long, a slight, seventeen-year-old named Samantha Delgado walks to the front of the class and attempts to get everyone's attention. It takes a few tries, but the 30 or so teenagers eventually quiet down so that the Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA) meeting can begin.
SANTA CRUZ -- A record number of local high school students attended Saturday's statewide Gay-Straight Alliance conference, which educators and students say reflects a growing interest in advocacy clubs for gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students and their allies.
GSA Network Deputy Director Laura Valdez joins this Spanish-language radio program to discuss bullying:
Although many believe that the new generation doesn't care about sexual orientation-that it's no longer an issue in our public schools-San Francisco interior designer and safe schools activist Ian Stallings says that's simply not true. Stallings is raising money for the Gay-Straight Alliance Network-and asking others to help.

Japan, 1969 (MIFF 2009, Eros + Massacre)
Director: Teruo Ishii
"Taps into the country's post-nuclear trauma so audaciously that people fled theaters in disgust upon its release." - Midnight Eye
Consistently banned on video and DVD since its 1969 release, and finally gaining the worldwide cult following it so deserves, Teruo Ishii's Horrors of Malformed Men (based on a novel by Edogawa Rampo) is one of the most wonderfully realised pieces of pulp fiction to ever come out of Japan. A bizarre, disturbing dreamscape of the erotic-grotesque, the film takes us into the unique mind of the prolific and eccentric filmmaker still known in Japan as the king of cult.
Encompassing an asylum escapee, his doppelganger and a remote island populated by creatures from a mad scientist's lab, this film is Ishii's long-forgotten and most controversial classic.
Features an unforgettably visceral lead performance by Butoh founder Hijikata Tatsumi.
"A dreamlike outpouring of transgressive imagery." - New York Times

Riots injure 177 in central Tunisian townBy BOUAZZA BEN BOUAZZA
The Associated Press | November 29,2012TUNIS, Tunisia A strike in a low income region of Tunisia has degenerated into a second day of clashes between police and protesters, leaving 177 people injured, including some seriously, a hospital official said Wednesday.
A local labor union organized a general strike in Siliana, a poor town in Tunisias interior, on Tuesday to protest a lack of jobs and government investment. Witnesses say police violently dispersed a peaceful march to the city hall for the second day in a row.
A climate of panic, tension and fear has gripped the region, said Iyadh Dahmani, the areas representative in legislative assembly. He denounced the use of tear gas and shotguns by police to disperse the demonstrators.
The Interior Ministry, however, maintained that police only moved against the demonstration when they attacked city hall and threw stones at security forces.
Nejib Sebti, one of the organizers of the original strike on Tuesday, said that more than 10,000 people rallied peacefully in front of city hall calling for more local development.
Egged on by the governor who rejects any dialogue, security forces reacted in a manner even more brutal than the repression of Ben Ali, he said, referring to the president overthrown by Tunisians in January 2011.
Since the fall of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, the Tunisian economy has suffered and the country has been wracked by demonstrations and strikes as people protest the lack of jobs.
On Tuesday, the World Bank approved a $500 million loan to help support reforms in Tunisias financial sector to encourage investment and growth.
Tunisias revolution, which sparked similar uprisings across the region, began in the impoverished interior of the country, which suffers in comparison to the more affluent coast.
Dr. Aymen Aissa of the local hospital told The Associated Press that 177 people had been treated at the hospital with 22 sent to the capital Tunis for further treatment including some with eye injuries.
The hospital had reported 14 people injured in clashes Tuesday.
In addition to more jobs, demonstrators are also calling for the resignation of the government, a member of the moderate Islamist Ennahda Party that dominated last years elections, and the release of 14 jailed activists.
There have been reports of similar demonstrations in other local towns in the area.MORE IN Wire NewsVIENNA Reflecting its lessening oil clout, OPEC decided Thursday to keep its output target on...

Want to have a gourmet meal at home that you don't have to cook, but can't afford the personal chef? Sure, sure, there's Waiters on Wheels, but there should be an emphasis on the WAIT part of that name and who wants to hang out for 90 minutes to get food from one of your favorite restaurants delivered cold at your door by a cretin?
A few San Francisco zip codes now have another option, pointed out to us by our friend over at Cooking with Amy: Wally's Food Company. Apparently, these folks purport to deliver gourmet California/French meals that you order in advance, and simply heat up and eat.
Maybe you want to have a romantic dinner at home for you and your sweetheart but don't have time or talent to cook it. The idea here is that you order a couple of days in advance, and Wally and his crew deliver the meal in a two hour window, the food packaged and sealed for refrigeration until you're ready to heat it up and serve. Their menu seems competent, and Amy says it tastes pretty good too. We trust her word on this.
It's a shame they don't actually do delivery like your local Pizza joint, or even same day delivery, but who knows, if they're successful maybe they'll work up to that.

I recently had the opportunity to facilitate a discussion on the ways to ensure success in the first weeks of a new job. The panelists were members of F&M's Leadership Council who provided a wealth of insightful advice and wisdom for graduates (and others) who may be in the midst of transitioning to a new professional role. Inspired by that conversation, and with graduation right around the corner, I compiled some of the advice shared that day, along with tips of my own… to help you make the most of your first 90 days at a new job.
· Learn the culture. The culture of a place is unique. Understanding how the culture of this place is different from that of your last employer or, for recent graduates, from life at college, is vital for success. The best way to do this in a new environment is through observation and dialogue. As you go through your days pay attention to how people interact with one another and with whom they interact? What social mores are people observing? What kinds of things get talked about, rewarded, called out… and what kinds of things don't? Invite colleagues from your own and other departments out to coffee or lunch and let them know you want to get to know them, their role, and to learn more about the organization.
· Have confidence in your contribution while recognizing your limitations. You were brought into the team because of the value you contribute; have confidence in that truth and be willing to step up and take risks in support of the organizational goals, in the areas where you provide value. Simultaneously, have a good understanding of the learning curve of moving into a new organization and be willing to acknowledge the areas in which you need to develop skills and knowledge. Knowing yourself in this way will help ensure you see and take opportunities to demonstrate your expertise and skill, while identifying (and acting on) opportunities for growth and development.
· Have the courage to make difficult decisions. When new to a role, it is tempting to pass difficult decisions on to someone else. Remember that in part, you were hired for your judgment. Ask for advice, do your homework, explore the possible outcomes related to each choice, and ultimately… make your decision and stand by it.
· Monitor your work in an ongoing way. As you make choices throughout each day and each week, monitor what is working and what isn't. By keeping a close eye on the direction of your work decisions as you go along, you will be able to spot potential challenges early and redirect quickly. Failure to monitor consistently may result in not seeing problems until it is too late to easily correct them.
· Recognize the workplace as a vehicle for discovery. For most of us, our jobs provide an opportunity for us to contribute, but also for us to learn and grow as individuals, team members, leaders, and professionals. Be open as those opportunities present themselves in your workplace, and take initiative to talk about areas of possible growth. Taking initiative in your own professional development maintains the spirit of the workplace as a vehicle for discovery while also demonstrating your commitment to bettering yourself and increasing your contribution to the organization.
· Don't forget the social transition of beginning a new job. Get to know your co-workers and find out about the social aspects of the organization. Where do people eat lunch? Who works out together? Are there after work gatherings? Are birthdays celebrated? A large portion of your "awake time" is spent fulfilling work responsibilities and so building in and seeking out opportunities for fun and rejuvenation with others in the organization can be an important part of a successful transition.

Sen. Kelly Ayotte: In the Senate, a wasteful program the Pentagon doesn't want lives on
But the Defense Department will still receive $381 million for the program, thanks to a gift Senate appropriators wrapped into a catch-all "continuing resolution" spending package that Congress passed earlier in the week. My repeated attempts to strip funding from the bill for the Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS) were blocked, proving once again that anything, no matter how wasteful it is, can find powerful backers in Congress.
Two years ago, the Defense Department announced that it was scrapping MEADS, which failed to become the nation's next generation air defense system. After Congress spent almost $3 billion for what I call the "missile to nowhere," I worked to successfully pass a bipartisan amendment to last year's annual defense bill prohibiting funding for the program.
You'd think that would be enough to turn off the spigot. But MEADS continues to enjoy an afterlife, receiving more money even though it has been declared dead.
Last week, during debate on the continuing resolution, I went to the floor several times seeking a simple vote on a bipartisan amendment I introduced that would eliminate funding for this failed weapon system and use it instead to support our servicemen and women. With the Pentagon facing deep sequestration cuts, I noted that it was especially ridiculous to fund a program that even the Army has said it won't procure and that the Senate Armed Services Committee chairman - a Democrat - has called "a waste of money."
My requests for a vote were denied, blocked by senators whose states benefit from the money spent on the weapons system, even though our troops will never use it.
I wasn't the only one to have an amendment fall victim to backroom politics. Several of my colleagues saw their germane amendments, introduced well in advance of last week's debate, suffer the same fate, depriving these senators of the only opportunity to improve a massive $1 trillion spending bill that funds government through September.
It's frustrating enough that the Senate has failed in recent years to pass the budget and appropriations bills on time. But preventing members of the "world's greatest deliberative body" from debating and voting on straightforward amendments, especially those that are certain to pass, is a problem that goes beyond partisanship. It's raw politics. And it's what has the American people rightfully upset at Washington.
As our debt continues to climb, members of Congress must work together to prevent the fiscal meltdown that we all can see coming. Inevitably, that will require tough decisions on reducing spending, preserving our entitlement programs and reforming our broken tax code. It also means that members of both parties will have to give up the time-honored congressional tradition of protecting their narrow parochial interests.
Scrapping funding for the "missile to nowhere" would be an easy place to start.

When the weather warms up, getting into the water is a great way to beat the heat. But as refreshing as it is, water poses a significant danger to children. Drowning is the second most common cause of accidental death among children ages 1 to 14, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
That doesn't mean your family can't take the plunge, however. With a bit of common sense and lots of supervision, splashing and swimming this summer can safe and fun. Read on for tips and advice.
Plus: Find out how to protect your little ones against other summer dangers, from dehydration and dog bites to sun, bugs, lawn mowers, and the downside of bike riding.
Drowning can happen in mere seconds. Don't leave your child unattended around water even for a moment.
Young children can drown in as little as an inch of water. Bathtubs, wading pools, toilets, and even buckets are dangerous: Very young children are top-heavy and tend to fall in headfirst and can't right themselves.
Kids ages 1 to 4 have the highest drowning rates, and most of these deaths occur in home swimming pools. Most who drown in pools have been out of sight for less than five minutes and were being cared for by one or both parents, who were close by at the time.
Even if your child swims like a fish, remain vigilant around water. Swimming lessons can help children as young as 1 year old, but they don't guarantee your child's safety.
Adult supervision is critically important. You or another responsible adult must watch your young child every single second. Learn CPR and be sure there are life preservers, life jackets, a telephone, and a shepherd's crook poolside.
Pool noodles, inner tubes, and air-filled swimming aids (like water wings) are not proper flotation devices. Don't rely on them to keep your child safe. For better protection, have your child wear a properly fitted, Coast Guard-approved personal flotation device.
If you have a pool at home, make sure children can't get to it on their own. Install secure fencing around all four sides of any swimming pool – including aboveground and portable pools. Door and pool alarms, along with automatic pool covers, also help make pools safer.
Check that any pool or spa you use has working, properly installed anti-entrapment drain covers and meets federal safety standards. The suction from a pool drain can hold even an adult underwater.
If you have a pool or spa at home, make sure it's enclosed on all sides with a fence and a self-locking gate. Don't use a chain-link fence (which children can easily climb), and keep the area clear of anything a child could use to boost himself over the fence.
The ocean's rip current can drag a child under water and out to sea even if the child is near the shore. Again, the most important thing you can do is keep your eyes on your child at all times.
For added safety, stay near a lifeguard and never allow your children to swim alone. The U.S. Lifesaving Association reports that people are almost five times more likely to drown at a beach without lifeguards.
Wear life jackets. Most deaths in boating accidents are drownings, and they usually involve people who fell overboard or found themselves in the water because the boat sank. Federal law requires life jackets for children 13 and younger, and some states have additional regulations.
You and your child should wear personal flotation devices on the boat and on the dock. The U.S. Coast Guard provides guidance on finding a device for your child.

Looks like the russians have new gasmasks that replace the PMK2s? Well, I used the PMK and PMK2...damn, the look nice but fit like hell. Extreme fogging because there is no nose cup, fitting isnt perfect and the air thightness from the valves is also a bit worrying....
It's just training i guess.
MP5 but not P90?
P.S. SP3M like, MVD does not buy ...


text: I have these installed on my 2004 Jeep LJ Rubicon. Jeep Wrangler headlights have always been pretty pathetic. These headlights are nothing short of incredible. From the aggressive looks, to the outstanding performance, these headlights are worth every penny. Very easy install, great instructions, and amazing customer support. My Jeep has a 6 inch lift with 37" tires. It's very nice to have such a controlled light output. You won't blind people anymore with the sealed 7's or attract attention from the police unless they just like your ride. The light output of these lights compared to the led headlights on the market is (from personal experience) much better. The Sealed 7's throw light further and do not have any dark spots. Just clean, bright, and even lighting. Thank you Matt and your team for developing such an incredible product.

Street Fight Movie Review
Going into the election, it looks a pretty easy choice. The incumbent, Sharpe James, had been mayor of Newark since 1986 and seems your typical city hall dinosaur. Lazy from a lack of competition and fattened off a suspiciously hefty salary (further boosted, many had it, by the endemic corruption James had narrowly escaped being jailed for in the '90s), James should have been a cinch for his challenger, Cory Booker, to take out. Booker is a choirboy type from the suburbs, a Rhodes scholar and college football star who went straight from Stanford to Yale Law School to Newark, where he moved into a housing project and set up a nonprofit organization before taking on James. He's tall, broad of shoulder, quick of wit, and self-assured without seeming pompous; in short, a campaign manager's dream. New vs. old, crusading vs. corrupt, the choice seems clear. As Curry ably shows, though, in places like Newark, the old guard hasn't stayed in power so long by playing nice.
The film starts with Booker walking the hallways of a Newark project trying to get out the vote. It isn't long before the word gets out and the city's deputy chief of police shows up to not-so-politely tell him to get out of there. It's iron-fisted city politics of the oldest and ugliest kind, straight from the Tammany Hall or Daley machine playbook, and just a taste of what waits for Booker and his supporters down the line. It's quickly apparent that James has little of substance to beat Booker with. Sure, the last few years had seen some nice new buildings going up in downtown, but overall Newark was a hollow place going from bad to worse, with most of the windfall from the new developments going to rich outsiders or those with City Hall connections. James can't play the partisan card, since both he and Booker are Democrats, and one would imagine that he can't play the race card, since they're both black. Therefore, James plays the "not black enough" card.
Before the election is over, James and his race-baiting campaign will have accused the liberal, lighter-skinned Booker of being the following: a Republican, white, Jewish, a "faggot," a "carpetbagger," and beholden to right-wing extremists including (but not limited to) the KKK. James also doesn't mind using city police and firemen to harass Booker's supporters (businesses showing Booker signs are routinely harassed and threatened with various citations) and even the filmmaker (Curry almost loses his camera to James' plainclothes thugs on a few occasions). By the time the whole sad charade is over, about the only thing James can legitimately say about himself is that he was born and raised in Newark.
One criticism of Street Fight could be that it's such an unabashedly worshipful portrait of Booker. However, given James' spurning of Curry's attempts to give him equal time, not to mention the election's indisputably ugly facts, it's difficult to imagine how any documentarian with an ounce of honesty could have presented us with anything different. Street Fight is an amazing work, thrilling and informative in equal amounts, reminding us that democracy isn't just fought over on message boards and foreign battlegrounds, but also on our very streets. Right here.

November 26, 2014
SPARKS, Nev. (AP) - Work has begun at the site of a new Galaxy IMAX Theaters being built at the Outlets at Legends mall near the Sparks Marina.
Bulldozers and excavators began moving dirt at the site this week.
Dennis McGovern, general manager of the retail center, says they haven't set an opening date for the theater yet. But he tells the Reno Gazette-Journal crews will get started on construction as soon as permits, weather and other factors are settled.
The Legends theater complex will have 12 screens, including 3-D options and Galaxy's first IMAX auditorium. Galaxy officials expect they will need to hire 40 to 50 people.
Galaxy owns more than a dozen theaters across four states, including the 10-screen Fandango complex in Carson City.

Today Is A New Day Lyrics - Ace Troubleshooter
Today is a new day
No time to live in the past
I guess now I know
No time to live with regrets
Mistakes I have made
Got to get on with my life
My choice, no one else
It's time to live in today
Today I have made a beginning
And with God, I know
Everything will be ok
Today is a new day
Exciting or blase?
Is it routine and a chore?
Or a promise of something more?
Life gets upside-down
And sometimes turned around
But He's given us a change
So put your trust in Him today

TCA Report: ABC, Dana Delany on "Body of Proof," Andrea Anders wants to date a girl on "Mr. Sunshine"
1:30 p.m. No Ordinary Family
Out co-creator/exec producer Greg Berlanti said his intention for No Ordinary Family was to blend the two genres and create a big action show with intimate family moments. Following the panel, Berlanti said he'd really like to add a gay character into the mix.
"Definitely. I can't imagine doing a series and not wanting to tell those stories, too," he said. "Nothing has come up in the first three or four (episodes) but it would be my hope in the first year to deal with those issues, especially because it's still a family show."
The show's star Julie Benz talked with us about her new part and playing lesbian on Desperate Housewives opposite Dana Delany.
AE: Lesbian fans adored you on Desperate Housewives. What was it like departing the show?
Julie Benz: That was a show I would have loved to have stayed on forever. I just had an amazing time working on it with those amazing women whose work has inspired me over the years. But unfortunately the character didn't facilitate a longer story line than five episodes. For me, it was a once in a lifetime experience. If they ever wanted me to come back, I would in a heartbeat.
AE: What will lesbians like about No Ordinary Family?
JB: I don't know! [Laughs] I think the one thing we all can relate to is that fantasy element, that what-if element — what if you did have a super power, what would it be, how would you handle it in your own life, how would it make your life easier? I think the show's mass appeal is because of that element. We all want a bit of fantasy in our lives.
AE: What's it like going from kissing Dana Delany to kissing your "No Ordinary Family" co-star Michael Chiklis?
JB: Easy! Kissing Dana is just lovely, she's a beautiful woman — she smells great, has soft lips. Chiki has great breath — he chews gum all the time — but he does have a little scruff on his face. Everybody always asks me if it was awkward kissing Dana. Kissing anybody you're not in love with is awkward anyway. So you just kiss and get it out of the way. When you're in the moment of the characters, it's not awkward, it's just real and lovely. They're both lovely people to makeout with.
No Ordinary Family premieres Tuesday, Sept. 28.

Clay Soldier Mod
Additional Videos:
Build different soldiers out of clay, that will fight against each other. The color of the soldiers determines, which soldiers will fight against each other.
The Clay Soldiers Minecraft mod lets you build and upgrade armies of tiny clay soldiers. You can use basic Minecraft items like clay to create and upgrade your armies, then watch while they fight it out!
Starting with a simple lump of clay, you can immediately begin crafting soldiers that will walk around and do battle with other soldiers of different colors. Determining a color for each soldier is as simple as using a colored dye on them. Once you have soldiers of two or more different colors in a single area, the battle begins and only the best-equipped soldiers can prevail.
Upgrading your soldiers is what really makes the mod exciting– you can use a variety of in-game items to perform upgrades:
• Sticks can be given to soldiers as weapons. This increases the attack strength of the soldier by .5 to 1 heart until it breaks. • Leather is a clay solder's armor of choice, protecting them for 15 hits. • Any food you can eat can also be given to your soldiers! • Gold nuggets can be used to declare a leader for each color army. Armies will follow their assigned leader and stay by him until their death. • Glowstone can make your soldiers glow in the dark for massive nighttime battles. • Soldiers given gunpowder will explode violently when they die, damaging other soldiers and objects around them. • Sugar will grant soldiers a full minute of hyperactivity, causing them to run around wildly. • Soldiers with clay lumps can revive other soldiers, allowing the battle to carry on for longer. • Dirt and Soulsand can be mixed to create a fully functioning horse for your soldier to ride into battle. Mounted soldiers are granted increased health and offensive abilities.
The soldiers in this mod are amazingly lifelike. They're capable of taking stacks of wood that you provide for them and constructing fortresses from it, in addition to several other cool behaviors. Similarly colored soldiers will work cooperatively to defeat their enemies, making the ensuing battles a blast to watch and partake in.
If you want to join in the fun yourself, don't be afraid to roll a few heads. When a soldier falls, he drops as an item so he can quickly be placed back into the field of battle without you having to gather anymore clay or resources. This makes the mod a blast to play, as there's no time wasted rebuilding more soldiers!
What makes the Clay Soldiers mod great is the new dimension it adds to Minecraft. Because the soldiers can be configured and upgraded in so many ways, this mod adds hours of fun to the game. By building upon Minecraft's existing sandbox gameplay style, the Clay Soldiers mod fits well into the existing game dynamic while also opening up tons of new possibilities and hours of fun.
How to download & install:
- Go to the Clay Soldier Mod download page
- Download the file
- Follow Clay Soldier Mod installation instructions
- Happy Crafting!

Am searching info on John Harris (son of William and grandson of Edward Harris-Flora Douglas). William went to Harford County, MD and died there ca 1750; John may have moved to Juniata County, PAI found this in towards the last of the Harris surname in the McCubbins Collection microfilm #019,860, Family History Center. There are two other half pages which I will enter below this one.By I. L. Harris of Havabana, Cuba Jan 12, 1930Hearst's AtlantaWilliam de Heriz from France circa 1150 (descendant of the House of Vendosine)Higel de Heriz living 1214 Thomas de HerizHenry de Heriz keeper of Royal Forests under Alexander II living 1249Sir William de Heriz swore fealty to Edward I. of England 1296;Robert de Heriz of Nithsdale living 1325;Sir John Herries created Baron Terregles by David Bruce 1364;Sir John Herries keeper Stirling Castle 1369-1370 hostage for Earl of Douglass 1403-1407 David Bruce granted Barony 1397.Herbert Herries one of the hostages for James I. one of the negotiators of the marriage of the daughter of James I. to Dauphin of France, married Margaret (daughter of Earl of Douglas). Had a brother? Robert herries.John Herries 4th Lord of Ferregles 1453. Had brothers: Herbert, William & Robert.Sir David Herries 5th Lord Ferregles married Margaret Crichton (daughter of Sir Robert Crichton or Sir Herbert Maxwell of Caerlaverock 1440Sir Herbert herries 6th Lord Ferregles & 1st Lord Herries 1489, married 1st Marion Carlyle 2d Mariot CuninghamAndrew herries 2d Lord Herries. had brothers (M)?ungo, John, & Roger of Maindenpape(died 1536 the tutor of William 3d Lord 1517)
This is the second page of I.L. Harris dated Jan. 12, 1930That portion of the Harris family that settle in the Southern colonies had its origin in Wales. From there they went to France and became allied to the great family of Vendosine, prior to the Norman Conquest.Members of the family returned to Great Britain, and became prominent after the Conquest: and from the armorial bearing of the various brances, particularly the three Herrious, we are assured of a common origin for the Wiltshire and Ayrshire Harrises. Of the Wiltshire Harrieses were the Earls of Malmsbury. From here came the Harrises of Virginia and Maryland. From the Yorkshire branch came the settlers who founded Harrisburg, Pennsylvania.A third branch went to Scotland before the reign of Alexander II. about 1150, and became leaders in teh struggles that terminated in the struggles with the winning of independence under Robert Bruce. The fifth in line of succession was created Baron Terrigles, and the sixth Baron was created Lord Harries--a title still existing in the nobility of Great Britain. They lives in Ayrshire, where the third Baron Terrigles married a daughter of Archibald, fifth Earl of Angus--celebrated in Scott's "Marmion". She was a sister of Janet, who married his brother, the second Lord Harries, and from this couple Roger and Miss Douglas, are descended the Scotch-Irish Harrises of the U.S. Edward Harris, born about 1620, was the ruling elder of Glenmarguin, near Raphoe, county donegal, Ireland, and married also into the Douglas family in the person of Flora Douglas. They left three sons, Edward, Robert and James. This was the third intermarriage between the Harrises and Douglases--the first about 1410, the second about 1520, and the third about 1650.COME TO U.S. One branch of family to Pennsylvania. Edward had two sons and a daughter. Robert had seven sons and a daughter; James had four sons. All immigrated to Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania, early in the eighteenth century. Robert, whose wife was Dorothy Wylie died in sight of land, and was buried in Philadelphia, Pa. His seven sons settled in Lancaster, and bought land from Thomas Penn in 1737 and subsequently. Thomas had married Mary McKinney and remained in Pennsylvania. He was a captain in a militia company in 1748, died in 1801. aged 106. William had married Elizabeth Glen and moved to Creil(?) County Maryland, with family of 14 children.The other five sons of Robert--John, James, Robert, Charles and Samuel--about 1750 to 1755, moved to Mecklenburg county, North Carolina (now Cabarrus County) and settled on Rocky River. John later moved to Blount County, Tenn., with eight children. His brothers remained in Mecklenburg and reared large families. From them are descended the Harrieses known throughout the South as the Scotch-Irish Harrises of Mecklenburg, and who scattered throughout the land, pioneering as each generation pushed out into the wilderness, looking for new fields to develop.

Insurance companies use most of the income from premiums for tax-free investments on the stock market, or as I call it, gambling. They'll keep a relatively small amount in reserve to pay out for claims. If investments are bad our premiums go up. Easy money.
Since we are legally obliged to have motor insurance the government ought to make it much less of a commercial enterprise. We're not all having crashes so if everyone chipped into a central pot I imagine there would be enough to pay out all valid claims. Mind you, a central pot of cash in public sector hands wouldn't be safe either.

I'm with them. Not had a claim in 37 years, but got knocked off the bike in June. Police doing driver for driving without due care. Thing is, when younger, if you had a bump and someone elses fault, you claimed off their insurance. Now, as I'm fully comp, you're supposed to claim on your own, then the solicitor tries to claim the excess back (£750), but this means you've now got a claim. I've not claimed as yet, bought most of parts on ebay to repair my bike as it'd be a write off. Makes you wonder what's the point of being fully comp insurance.
I did that, you claim through your own and they re-claim through the 3rd parties - ask your insurance for a letter stating they are reinstating your NCB because they claimed against the 3rd party and you'll get your NCB back.
One company was http://www.ridemaster.co.uk/ they handled my claim for me and put me up with a courtesy bike, a CBF600 and claimed back all the costs from the 3rd party's insurance. I didn't pay a penny. I'm pretty sure I paid a few hundred excess and got it back as soon as the 3rd party admitted liability.

Protect your no claims it worth the extra cost.
the answer is not to make a claim through your own insurer they are all ways keen for you to do this, it may take much longer to get your bike repaired but claim from the third parties insurer.

Wednesday December 14 Out there: Improvisation--a staple of the jazz aesthetic--is only the springboard for the kind of sounds you'll hear during Frontiers: Explorations in Out Music. The new series, sponsored by the Creative Music Works and taking place every other Wednesday through February at the blessedly smokeless Vartan Jazz, 231 Milwaukee St., will spotlight Colorado artists engaged in the fine art of stretching the limits of the musical imagination. Arkestra Pirata and its offshoot, the Four Corners Quartet, kick off the series tonight at 8. Admission to the bimonthly adventure is a $5 cover charge ($4 CMW members); for details call 499-1111 or 758-6321.
Thursday December 15 Swing time: "The Boulevard of Broken Dreams" may have been one of his first hits way back in 1951, but smooth vocalist Tony Bennett has never had to look back--and the dream has never been stronger. Perhaps the secret to his irrepressible popularity--other than his image as the nicest guy alive--is his uncanny ability to swing, to take every song for a classy ride in a sleek, emotive vehicle of a voice. He's flown to the moon with the likes of Basie, Bill Evans and Ray Charles, and he's been plugged in and Unplugged. You'll leave your heart at the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Pl., tonight when he revs up around 7:30. Tickets are $32; call 290-TIXS to reserve yours.
Friday December 16 Sugar plum good: You say there'll be hell to pay if you're forced to sit through one more stodgy performance of The Nutcracker? And a lot of screaming, too? Well, forget all that--and check out the clever version put on annually by the David Taylor Dance Theatre. This one sports gangster mice, a gigantic Mother Clara and, for the style-conscious, set designer George Peters's stunning black-and-white deco party scene. Not only that, but this year's performances include some snappy toe work by Chinese dancers Nian Mei Geng and Qian Ping Guo, both joining Taylor's troupe as guest artists. Tchaikovsky's holiday confection shows daily through December 23 at the Arvada Center, 6901 Wadsworth Blvd. For tickets, $12 to $22, call 431-3939 or 290-TIXS.
Beggars' banquet: Christmas shopping can be fun--especially when you dress up the shopping environment like a Victorian English town, make it feel authentic with roving, costumed entertainers, town criers and carolers, and fill it with beautiful handmade gift items and scrumptious food. You'll get all that at the Dickens Christmas Fair, a period-piece shopping experience at Currigan Hall, 1324 Champa St., today through Sunday. The kids will enjoy Tiny Tim's arcade, replete with games, activities and a jolly Victorian Santa, and the whole family will love the hot turkey sandwiches, mashed potatoes, hot cider and wassail available to hungry shoppers. In addition, Children's Hospital volunteers will bravely man gift-wrapping tables so you can bring your purchases home and set them right under the tree. Admission to the fair, a portion of which benefits the hospital, is $4 (kids under twelve free); hours are 11 to 9 today, 10 to 9 tomorrow and 10 to 7 Sunday.
Saturday December 17 Miracle fabric: Four guys, four great voices--that's pretty much the story with The Nylons, a quartet of vocal Canadians who feel at home with '50s-style street-corner harmonizing but are unafraid to take on more contemporary tunes by Marvin Gaye and the Beatles. They'll be joined by jazz flutist Tim Weisberg tonight at 8 at the Paramount Theatre, 1621 Glenarm Pl. To reserve tickets, $18.50 plus service charges, call 534-8336 or 290-TIXS.
Hillbilly Hendrix: Guitar whiz Junior Brown doesn't have to waste time or lose a beat when he wants to switch instruments--his unique guit-steel, a combined six-string and lap-steel instrument of his own invention, puts plenty of options right in his lap. And it's a lucky turn, too, because Junior is all over that thing--plucking lightning-fast virtuosic licks on either set of strings. Put that together with an almost comical clean-cut cowboy look and an eclectic repertoire that touches on bluegrass, surf music and, yes, the inimitable Hendrix, and you've got a hell of a concert. Brown appears tonight at the Bluebird Theater, 3317 E. Colfax; tickets are $10. Call 322-3208 or 290-TIXS. And if you miss him tonight, he'll reappear Sunday at E-Town in Boulder; for details call 786-7030.
Born to shred: Snowboarders will have a chance to learn everything they ever wanted to know about the sport this weekend at the Slide and Ride Snowboard Festival, a two-day extravaganza of board, boot and clothing demos and free lessons that takes place today and tomorrow in Winter Park. When they're done dilly-dallying around the fest, attendees can also take advantage of $26 discounted lift tickets to try out their boards ($18 for the beginner run). Admission is free; for information call 1-303-420-1641.
Sunday December 18 Top of the pops: What more can you say about a guy who's played the roles of John Lennon and Buddy Holly? That he's got to be some kind of pop genius? In the case of Marshall Crenshaw--who appeared as those respective rock-and-roll giants in Beatlemania and La Bamba--well, yes. Hands down. Crenshaw, an encyclopedic student of popular music who first wowed the critics in 1982 with a crisp self-titled album, is crawling out from under a low profile with the release of Live...My Truck Is My Home, an album featuring some of his best covers and impeccable original tunes. Hear Crenshaw, appearing with Andy York, at an acoustic raveup at the Fox Theatre, 1135 13th St., Boulder. Athens, Georgia, band Catfish Jenkins opens at 8; tickets are $10.50. Call 447-0095 or 290-TIXS.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - Someone's dropping envelopes full of cash across San Francisco, causing a social media frenzy.
The mysterious person with the Twitter handle HiddenCash has been hiding money throughout the city since Friday that's leading scores on a scavenger hunt. His Twitter following has exploded from a few hundred on Friday to more than 75,000 and counting by Tuesday.
Hidden Cash's creator says his giveaways are a "social experiment for good." He claims to make his money off San Francisco's hot real estate market and hopes that winners also pay it forward.
Adam Wenger, a 27-year-old web producer, said he won $200 finding two envelopes Friday in the city's South of Market District. He bought pizza for his co-workers on Tuesday and will pay a $100 parking ticket.

What is heart disease?
In many cases heart disease will neither limit children during their school years, nor require special intervention. For most only minimal precautions are necessary.
The language used to describe many medical conditions including heart disease, can be complex and often confusing. Here are a couple of common misconceptions:
The mystical and central nature of the heart to our lives often heightens emotions and so concerns. The consequence is that clear thinking is often the casualty.
Heart disease in children encompasses three main areas: congenital heart disease, acquired heart disease and arrhythmia.
Congenital heart disease is made up of a wide array of abnormalities of heart structure which have evolved during pregnancy, are present at birth, and become evident at various times including the foetal period (some abnormalities only), the newborn period, or later during infancy or childhood. In approximately 50% of cases little to not intervention is required.
Congenital heart disease is divided into two varieties:
Acquired heart disease in childhood is relatively uncommon in Australia. Some of the more commonly seen varieties are:
For further information, please see the full article (.pdf 141kB)
Serious heart rhythm irregularities are also uncommon in children. They mostly occur because of abnormalities in the heart's electrical conduction system.
Most importantly arrhythmia is characterised by rapid beating of the heart.
Symptoms include:
A rarer type of heart rhythm irregularity is heart block which results in abnormally slow heart rhythms.
Many of the symptoms and signs of heart disease can be mimicked by other illnesses or even by exaggerated 'normal' responses to common stimuli. Children with suspected or established heart problems are usually assessed and managed by paediatric cardiologists in major paediatric teaching hospitals.
Symptoms include:
NB: any child with a normal heart who is cold or faint cyanosis of the hands, feet and lips only (but not the tongue), and so is not an invariable indicator of heart abnormality.
NB: This can be a feature of many illnesses, and is not specific to heart abnormality.
NB: this is surprisingly uncommon as a feature of heart abnormality in school-aged children.
NB: Fainting is a relatively common reason for loss of consciousness in the community.
NB: Palpitations can occur in normal individuals who become over-aware of normal body activity.
The majority of children with heart abnormalities do not require any regular medication. If required it is generally given only once or twice a day and therefore not usually required at school.
Medications fall into a number of categories.
They may:
Externally evident devices and appliances are generally not used in children with heart disease. Implanted devices such as pacemakers will usually not be obvious. Devices include pacemakers and artificial heart valves.

The K1600GTL is now BMW's premier sports tourer and puts the big machine right in the firing line of bikes like the Honda Pan-European, and the Honda GoldWing. Over the GT it comes with a massive top case big enough to swallow two full size helmets, the same panniers as the GT, plus it gets lower and further back handlebars, lower footrests, lower pillion ...

It would be easy to be cynical about Triumph's new Thunderbird Storm. Its route of taking an existing cruiser model and spinning off a pared down, mean and moody, all-black, 'hot rod'-styled variant is, after all, a well-trodden one. Riding it, however, reveals the new Storm to be pleasingly more than just AN Other fashion victim. Aside from predictable black ...

In modern youthful speak the word bad actually means good. In any language big is big and Suzuki's M1800R Intruder is really big – and bad at the same time. This is based on the fact the Intruder weighs in at 347kg leaving the petrol station; has the biggest cylinder bore size (112mm) of any current production bike; and produces ...
1634cc, 123bhp, 100mph, Insurance group 15
This is Victory's exciting air/oil-cooled 1634cc chopper-style V-twin Vegas. It's American made, but unlike a Harley Davidson has a much more modern level of performance, while still looking stylish. It might be missing the Harley badge, but it has everything else, including an affordable price tag.
1584cc, 75bhp, 90mph, Insurance group 15
Harley's Cross Bones is the perfect antidote to a tough week at work. It's so comfortable, thanks to its wide, beautifully padded, hand-stitched sprung seat and rubber-topped footboards that you could almost fall asleep on it; something the whisper-quiet exhausts would unfortunately let you do, if you weren't careful. It looks the part and the 'Springer' front end adds to ...
1854cc, 89bhp, 120mph, Insurance group 14
Called the Midnight Star in the UK but overseas known as the Stratoliner – a name that conjures up images of a big motorcycle. And it's spot-on. The Yamaha XV1900 is typical of Japanese cruisers which have been getting larger and larger both physically and in terms of engine displacement in the last few years. Like all big Japanese customs, ...
1520cc, 100bhp, 106mph, Insurance group 15
So definitive a full-dress tourer, the Honda GL1500 Gold Wing remained in production for over a decade and (nearly) all rivals gave up bothering to compete. Third generation Gold Wing boasted all-new, super-smooth, super grunty flat-six, fabulously equipped and integrated design and lavish comfort to beat all-comers. Only recently superceded (by GL1800 and BMW K1200LT), and even then not by ...
1795cc, 95bhp, 134mph, Insurance group 14
The performance cruiser is a strange concept - why do you need to go fast on a lowrider? But if power is your thing, then the VTX1800 has got plenty of it, a certain classy elegance about its lines and the mandatory V-twin shaped engine. Also has Honda's linked braking system.
