'green' on 100th anniversary ball drop goes 'green' on 100th

NEW YORK (CNN) -- New York celebrates the centennial of its most
famous New Year's tradition Monday, as organizers of the Times Square
ball drop have given the crystal globe an environmental makeover.

Technicians prepare the New York Times Square ball Thursday for the
event's 100th anniversary.

This year the 1,415-pound ball has been outfitted with more than 9,500
energy-efficient light-emitting diodes that will illuminate the ball's
more than 600 crystals. The LEDs will use the same amount of
electricity as about 10 toasters, say event officials.

That's a dramatic overhaul from 1907's first Times Square ball, which
was made from iron and wood and was covered with about 100 light
bulbs.

.. to all at the caff..

We live in interesting times.. so here's to 2008!

One of my tips this new year is 5 doz. eggs, two trays. Got them
today. Omelette tonight, and an egg custard is in the offing, I
think, and a bread-and-butter pudding, sandwiches of course, and
plenty of breakfast eggs, but does anyone have any other good ideas
for eggy food to use the lovely little things up before they go too
stale?

Mmmmm, eggs.

MI5 Persecution Update:. Friday 9 July, 1999

Harassment in Poland, July. 1999

And still it continues.... in my last fax I said that provided MI5. made no
attempts at harassment during my two-week holiday this summer,. or after I
returned to England,. then I would discontinue these faxes. Unfortunately
MI5 have continued to harass me, both during. the holiday and after my
return to London. I really dont want. to continue these articles, since
they take up so much time and effort, not to mention expense;. but the
Security Service wont. even let me have a holiday in peace and quiet, so I
have to make further efforts to bring their. activities out into the open.

In. early July I visited my aunt and her family in Poland. On Saturday 3
July 1999,. I went to a family barbecue at an allotment outside the
city. One of my aunts family has previously shown himself to...

MI5 Have Systematically Destroyed My. Life

This is getting depressing. From the feedback Ive. received, the recipients
of these faxes are tired. of hearing my complaints, and in truth I am tired
of sending them. The reason I. havent yet ceased...

MI5 Persecution. Update: Friday 11 June, 1999

Harassment in a. pub in Clapham, Tuesday lunchtime

Once a month, or once every other month,. I meet a Polish friends of mine
who lives in Clapham North, and sometimes we go. to a particular pub near
where he lives. The last time was. some two months ago; I did not have my
minidisc-walkman with me, and consequently was seriously. harassed by
people MI5 had instructed to harass me, in the. pub.

This. Tuesday, 8 June 1999, we again went to the same pub for a pre-meal
drink. This time I did have my minidisc-walkman with. me. As you can guess,
we were followed. into the pub by a couple of young people (Im getting
older and older - isnt it funny how. the MI5 agents all look young these
days?). They started talking about. my situation, in particular some travel
I had. booked the previous day. Unfortunately, they were talking fairly
quietly, and my minidisc didnt pick up. their speech.

MI5 are Afraid to Admit They're. Behind the Persecution

MI5 have issued a. formal denial of any involvement in my life to the
Security Service Tribunal, as. you might expect them to; but, more
importantly, the persecutors have. never denied that theyre from the
Security Service, despite several years of accusations from my corner. on
usenet and in faxed articles. I am. not surprised that the Security Service
Tribunal found "no determination in your favour". I am however. a little
surprised. that the persecutors have refused to confirm my identification
of them; by doing so, they. implicitly admit that my guess was right.

"No determination in your. favour" says the Security Service Tribunal

In 1997, I made a complaint to the Security Service Tribunal, giving. only
the bare outlines of my case. I do not think. it would have made very much
difference if. Id made a much more detailed complaint, since the Tribunal
has no ability to perform investigatory functions.. It can only ask MI5 if
they have an. interest in a subject, to which MI5 are of course free to be
"economical with the truth". A couple of months after my. complaint the
Tribunal replied. that;

MI5. Persecution: Molestation during Travel

MI5s persecution of me varies in. intensity. Since 1990 it has been steady
for perhaps 80%% of the time; there was a notable quiet period in. 1993, and
another quiet period in Jan-Feb 1995, as well as a hiatus in. the first two
months of 1999. It. puzzles me that they cease and restart, seemingly
without any logic or reason. But. one aspect of MI5s activities against me
which. is relatively predictable is this weeks articles topic, which is
Molestation during. Travel. Almost every time I cross the Atlantic, go to
the Continent or even try to enjoy a holiday in this. country, you can bet
that. MI5 will be there doing their utmost to wreck it all.

This aspect of the harassment is particularly relevant as. I will be
travelling to Europe again in a months time,. with naturally the Minidisc
recorder. in tow; so it will be interesting to see if I can record the
abuse which will almost certainly take. place, either on the Tube going to
the airport, at the airport, on. the flight, in the terminal building - MI5
have previously. instituted instances of abuse at each of these locations,
so well see how much taxpayers. money they waste this time, and whether it
will prove possible to capture their. abuse on minidisc.
