First Chapters of Dan Brown's InfernoPosted by Greg at 03:37, 18 Mar 2013
Dan Brown's publishers have released the prologue and first chapter of his latest novel in the Robert Langdon series, Inferno, which I've embedded above for your reading pleasure. The book begins with the usual (sometimes controversial) Brownian statement that "all artwork, literature, science and historical references in this novel are real", and mentions a pseudonymous organisation known as 'The Consortium' which will apparently feature in the novel (saying the name has been changed for "considerations of security and privacy".
The book opens by referencing Dante's Inferno and a few of the famous locations in the Italian city of Florence. If you've checked out my primer to the new novel, Inside Dan Brown's Inferno, you should be well aware of the significance and details of each of these - if you don't have it, you can grab the eBook for just $2.99.
Links: Pre-order Dan Brown's Inferno on Kindle, and grab my primer Inside Dan Brown's Inferno at the same time so that you know exactly where Langdon is, and the history behind the various plotlines.
Update: Also, to celebrate its 10th anniversary Dan Brown has made The Da Vinci Code eBook available for free all week. Go grab it while it's available!
Inside Dan Brown's Inferno: The Secret PiPosted by Greg at 06:39, 21 Feb 2013
Dan Brown's latest book Inferno is due out on the 14th of May, 2013. And as is usual with Mr. Brown, he can't resist having a bit of fun by hiding secrets and codes about the place for those willing enough to seek them out, well in advance of the book's release. As you can see from the video above, one of those appears to be that the publication date of the book (5.14.13) was chosen for a very specific reason: when flipped/read right to left it gives the first five digits of pi (3.1415).
To learn more about the mysteries, history and locations that Dan Brown will likely be exploring in Inferno, be sure to download a copy of Inside Dan Brown's Inferno from the Kindle store (just $2.99!), for reading on your eBook reader, iPad or iPhone, or home computer. Using some of these hidden clues that Dan Brown has left about 'for those with eyes to see', the book is an excellent primer that fills you in on the background information behind Inferno to allow you to enjoy the book to its fullest.

Dan Brown's InfernoPosted by Greg at 00:41, 16 Jan 2013
The title of Dan Brown's new book has been revealed after a 'puzzle' was completed by fans just hours after being posted to social media. Brown's code-solving historical investigator Robert Langdon will return in the new novel, Inferno, set to be released on May 14.
The title – Inferno – was revealed soon after the announcement by readers, who had been invited to use social media posts to help expose a digital mosaic. By posting on Facebook, or tweeting using the hashtag #DanBrownToday, readers' profile images were added as tiles in a web graphic, with the title – alluding to Dante's 14th-century poem – becoming clear as more images were added.
"Although I studied Dante's Inferno as a student, it wasn't until recently, while researching in Florence, that I came to appreciate the enduring influence of Dante's work on the modern world," Brown said.
"With this new novel, I am excited to take readers on a journey deep into this mysterious realm … a landscape of codes, symbols, and more than a few secret passageways."
"Dan Brown's enthusiasm for puzzles, codes and symbols is a passion shared by his readers," said Suzanne Herz at Brown's US publisher Doubleday, saying that the marketing stunt was intended "to harness that passion and use it as a catalyst to reveal the new title."
The Regeneration of Doctor WhoPosted by Greg at 23:09, 23 Nov 2012
In his fantastic new book on the British band The KLF, KLF: Chaos Magic Music Money (available from Amazon US, and Amazon UK), J.M.R. Higgs notes that "synchronicities seem to prefer some stories more than others, and this is one that they flock to." As if to emphasise the point, I asked Higgs earlier this week if I could reprint (on the Friday release date) some of the material from the book about coincidences involving The KLF and the legendary British sci-fi series Doctor Who, as I thought readers would enjoy it. I didn't realise when I asked this that Friday was the 49th anniversary of the first airing of Doctor Who…
I should have been aware of this though, because in the book Higgs mentions that November 22-23 is somewhat of a temporal confluence for a number of the historical tributaries that his book explores in mapping the career of the KLF. Not only the Doctor Who anniversary, but also November 23rd is a 'holy day' for Discordians, being the birthday of Harpo Marx, and the 22nd was the day that JFK was assassinated (an event whose coincidental links to Discordianism are worthy of a complete book themselves).
The KLF's main link to Doctor Who is a fairly obvious one: they had their first hit single (selling a million plus copies) under the name 'The Timelords', with the novelty single "Doctorin' The Tardis" (video above). But the story begins much earlier, with the respective encounters the two members of The KLF, Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, had with Robert Anton Wilson's Discordian classic, Illuminatus!, in particular a certain stage version. In 1976 the British actor/director Ken Campbell adapted Illuminatus! after coming across the book in an esoteric bookshop in Camden. He cast Bill Nighy in the play after bumping into the well-known actor in a pub, as Nighy was toting a copy of the book himself, as well as other (now) big-name actors such as Jim Broadbent.
Bill Drummond himself was intimately involved in the production, being hired to produce the sets for the show. This was no easy task, because Campbell was asking for something off the chart. But, in the words of Bill Nighy, "f**k me, did he deliver!". Higgs explains:
Drummond's solution was to build the sets in strange scales, utilising tricks such as foreshortening and strange angles, all of which perfectly suited the disorienting style of the play. Tables or beds were stood upwards and stuck to the rear wall, giving the audience the impression that they were looking down on the action from the ceiling. Given the seemingly contradictory scales of the story and the cafe stage, Drummond took Campbell's advice, assumed that the impossible would be possible, and just knuckled down and did it.
The success of Campbell's play led to a sold-out run at the National Theatre in London, though Drummond was no longer a part of the show. After completing the construction of his 'impossible' sets, shortly before the premiere he announced that he was popping out to get some glue, and never returned. But among the audience watching the show in London was a young Jimmy Cauty, the other half of the (future) KLF.
These earlier chance encounters came together a decade later, when actors were being short-listed to replace the sixth Doctor, Colin Baker in a time of crisis for Doctor Who:
It is here that our Discordian threads return to the show. A number of actors were auditioned to replace Baker, but it very quickly came down to a choice between two: our good friend Ken Campbell, and Sylvester McCoy (whose first job in showbiz involved sticking ferrets down his trousers as part of the Ken Campbell Road Show.) Campbell auditioned by performing a speech about the nature of time modelled on Alan Moore's Dr. Manhattan character, wearing a long coat, sleeveless cartoon t-shirt and wide-brimmed hat. The producer thought that he was too weird, an opinion probably enforced by the strange message that had been left on the answer phone the previous day and which he suspected was from Campbell. The message was actually a quote from Charles Fort's book Lo!, and begins 'A naked man in a city street – the track of a horse in volcanic mud – the mystery of the reindeer's ears – a huge, black form, like a whale, in the sky, and it drips red drops as if attacked by celestial swordfishes – an appalling cherub appears in the sea – Confusions.'
The production team were unaware that this quote was Campbell's personal mantra, which he would recite in the wings before any performance as a centring exercise, and finding it on the answering machine was deeply unsettling.
As McCoy remembers, "the executive producer of the BBC Series and Serials wanted Ken, but the producer of Doctor Who wanted me, and his argument was that he thought Ken would frighten the children, and I think he was right. The producer in fact threatened to resign if Ken got the job. So I got it."
Campbell may have been too weird for Doctor Who, but that didn't mean our Discordian synchronicities would leave the show behind. With the money they made from their Doctor Who record Drummond and Cauty made a film called The White Room, as will be discussed later. There was one major role in the film that required a 'name' actor, and for this role they cast Paul McGann, then well known for his roles in the The Monocled Mutineer and Withnail and I. A few years after this McGann took over from Sylvester McCoy and became the eighth Doctor Who. There was only one person in the entire world who would be cast as the next Doctor Who, and for Drummond and Cauty to select that very same man for their Doctor Who-funded film is…well, the odds are pretty high. Clearly this is a story that the synchronicities can't get enough of.
But beyond exploring the many funny coincidences that occur throughout the story of The KLF (such as Drummond and Robert Anton Wilson both having 'encounters' with a giant invisible rabbit spirit, as well as a link to the movie about a giant rabbit spirit, Donnie Darko), Higgs also has some wonderful discussion of Alan Moore's notion of 'Ideaspace', and the evolution of Doctor Who as the product of many creative minds. ...

The Numinous Place TrailerPosted by Rick MG at 03:10, 06 Oct 2012
"THE NUMINOUS PLACE" is the first in a quadrilogy of books which utilizes all storytelling techniques to generate its authentic and experiential storyworld. Audio, video, a 26 page color comic, documents, Lucid Dreaming instruction, and interactive content are employed to create a chillingly realistic account of the scientific discovery of the afterlife.
Hold onto your seat and open your mind — the book just evolved.
If that doesn't get you excited for Mark Staufer's The Numinous Place, then hand in your Grail badge and go sit in the naughty corner.
The Invisibles OmnibusPosted by Greg at 04:43, 24 Aug 2012
Here's a necessity for any Grailer's bookshelf, if they don't have it already: an omnibus of all 3 volumes of Grant Morrison's seminal comic book series, The Invisibles, released in the next seven days and available for pre-order now from Amazon US and Amazon UK. Comprising some 59 issues in total, it's a bargain. For those who aren't familiar with the series:
The plot follows (more or less) a single cell of The Invisible College, a secret organization battling against physical and psychic oppression using time travel, magic, meditation, and physical violence.[2]
For most of the series, the team includes leader King Mob; Lord Fanny, a Brazilian shaman; Boy, a former member of the NYPD; Ragged Robin, a telepath with a mysterious past; and Jack Frost, a young hooligan from Liverpool who may be the next Buddha. Their enemies are the Archons of Outer Church, interdimensional alien gods who have already enslaved most of the human race without their knowledge.
There's no shortage of references in the comics to topics that TDG readers will find familiar. Good fun! Though remember, not particularly suitable for children.
Kickstarter: The Numinous PlacePosted by Greg at 12:24, 24 Jul 2012
Last week I linked to the Kickstarter crowd-funding campaign for The Silver Cord, a comic book seemingly made for Grailers with its fusion of spirituality and technology.* This week I've come across another Kickstarter campaign right up the Grail alley, so to speak: The Numinous Place, a futuristic book project combining topics from lucid dreaming to Da Vinci Code-like puzzle sleuthing:
THE NUMINOUS PLACE is not just the world's most technologically advanced book... It's a totally new way of storytelling... A chillingly realistic adventure that takes you to the afterlife and back.
THE NUMINOUS PLACE has the visual impact of a Hollywood blockbuster, and the pace, depth and intrigue of an irresistible work of fiction.
We use video, audio, images and text to tell the story of the greatest conspiracy of all time...
It's like if THE DA VINCI CODE came to life in your hands showing you actual video footage of the clues and interviews with suspects, presented the real life historical documents and artifacts, and played you recordings of crucial pieces of evidence.
THE NUMINOUS PLACE does all this in such an authentic way, you'll be swept along in the cosmic detective story like never before, as we show you the evidence that proves you are not who or where you think you are.
As is usual with Kickstarter campaigns, there are various pledge-level packages available for The Numinous Place - check out the TNP Kickstarter page for full details and more information about the project.
And for those that enjoy synchronicities: a few days after creator Mark Staufer emailed me about The Numinous Place, I received a few news links from Grailers regarding a green-lit feature film about the life of comedian Bill Hicks, to be directed by Russell Crowe. The script-writer? Mark Staufer. Down the rabbit hole we go...
(* Subsequent to our linkage, The Silver Cord - which had been struggling to make its target - got a rush of pledges and made its target! Not sure how much of a role we played in that, but we did at least get a thank you from the TSC team.)
Neil Gaiman Returns to The SandmanPosted by Greg at 07:15, 13 Jul 2012
There are few titles in the world of comics bigger than The Sandman. Neil Gaiman's chronicle of the adventures of 'Dream'/Morpheus, published from 1988 through to 1996, has become a modern fantasy classic, even making the New York Times bestseller list. Since then, Gaiman has continued his writing career with a string of other notable successes, such as his acclaimed American Gods. But today, [not] at SDCC, Gaiman made the announcement (via video) that he would be returning to series in order to explore some of the backstory that was neglected during the original series:
The new instalments are due to begin publication in November 2013, exactly 25 years after the initial release of the Sandman series.
While I'm eagerly looking forward to these upcoming releases, this latest announcement certainly puts an exclamation mark on the criticism, from some, that production companies in film and publishing are sticking to tried and tested formulas rather than trying new things. This Sandman reboot comes on the heels of the controversial Before Watchmen series, and the recent release of the Alien 'prequel' Prometheus. Hey, hang on a second - looking at Dream's iconic mask, I think I know the storyline of the new Sandman Series already. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...Promorpheus!
If I really wanted to start connecting dots, I might point out that J. H. Williams - the artist who will be working with Gaiman on the new series - is well-known for his work on Alan Moore's Promethea series. But I wouldn't do that...
The World of 2050Posted by Greg at 13:25, 19 Jun 2012
Sci-fi novelist David Brin has a new book out titled Existence (Amazon US and UK) which touches on a number of topics we enjoy discussing here, perhaps most prominently the possibility of alien contact. Here's the trailer and short summary for those interested, following which I have a question for you all, and would love to hear your answers:
Gerald Livingston is an orbital garbage collector. For a hundred years, people have been abandoning things in space, and someone has to clean it up. But there's something spinning a little bit higher than he expects, something that isn't on the decades' old orbital maps. An hour after he grabs it and brings it in, rumors fill Earth's infomesh about an "alien artifact."
Thrown into the maelstrom of worldwide shared experience, the Artifact is a game-changer. A message in a bottle; an alien capsule that wants to communicate. The world reacts as humans always do: with fear and hope and selfishness and love and violence. And insatiable curiosity.
This io9 write-up mentions some of the setting of Brin's future world of the 2050s, including "the mesh, a virtual reality that exists on top of the real world and is viewable through glasses, contacts and eye implants collectively". Reading about such ideas, and agreeing completely with things such as 'the mesh', prompted me to wonder what you all think we will be seeing in four decades (if we're still alive)? Where will we be at technologically, spiritually, and politically? Tell me how *your* Earth of 2050 looks.
Blues for a Red Planet's VisionaryPosted by red pill junkie at 15:45, 06 Jun 2012
Acclaimed Science-Fiction legend Ray Bradbury has departed our world. The writer of classics like The Martian Chronicles, Fahrenheit 451 & Something Wicked This Way Comes passed away last night at the age of 91.
Forever a Luddite, it seems the Red Planet's visionary opted for Venus as a much suitable transport than an airplane for his next destination.
"In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury has inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create," the statement said. "A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time."
Feel free to share your admiration for his work, and how it influenced your life's journey.
Rest in Peace.

CLEVELAND - There might come a day when the Cavaliers deal center Anderson Varejao. They figure when the youngsters on the team get ready to compete, the 30-year-old Varejao is going to be too old. However, whenever they think about trading him, they should pop in a videotape of Tuesday's game, when the Cavs defeated the Washington Wizards 94-84 in the season opener for both teams. The 6-foot-11, 260-pound Varejao established career highs in rebounds (23) and assists (nine), as he took advantage of the Wizards' porous defense. It didn't help that the Wizards were missing two key big men in Nene (foot) and Kevin Seraphin (calf). Varejao finished with nine points and made 3 of 7 shots. His 23 rebounds were just two off the Cavs' record set by Rick Roberson on March 4, 1972, at Houston. "He's so valuable to us on both ends of the floor," Cavs coach Byron Scott said. Point guard Kyrie Irving led all scorers with 29 points, six rebounds and thre...

The York County commissioners have rejected a resolution opposing placement of the proposed Keystone XL pipeline in the southeast Nebraska county.
Two commissioners supported the measure at Tuesday morning's meeting, but three opposed it.
The proposal said the York County Board of Commissioners "realizes the risks of tar sand and crude oil pipelines to our resources in York County and opposes any pipelines of this nature."
An earlier version tabled by the board at its July 9 meeting included a sentence that committed the board to using its powers to protect the county residents' health and the county's natural resources.
The Obama administration is still considering whether to approve the project, which would carry Canadian oil to Texas refineries.

A farmer sat on his front porch with his old hound dog lying at his feet, when a stranger walked up to ask directions. As the farmer talked, the old hound would moan and cry.
The stranger asked, "Why is your dog crying?"
The farmer said, "He's sitting on a nail."
"Then why doesn't he move?" asked the stranger.
"It doesn't hurt bad enough yet," said the farmer.
You know you have a nail that you're sitting on. You know there's a change that you need to make that would make things best. For most of you, you won't make that change until the pain finally forces you to. Why not get off that nail today?

Dried California Chili Pods
- JSchwo7 Jun 6, 2007 01:13 PM
I found these in the grocery store but am at a loss at to what to use them in. Any ideas, suggestions, recipies?
re: hannaone
Thanks for the info!!
Many threads about chile talk about using whole pods. One approach is to tear them open, remove the seeds, and soak them in a bit of water. Some toast them a bit before soaking. The soaked pods can be pureed in a blender, or the skin and pulp can be separated in a food mill. The puree makes a great base for chile, and many other Mexican style dishes.
re: ChiliDude
I just went by what the package said, I just went to double check and it is indeed spelled that way. Also I found a web site on the back of the package, it really fun to browse.
re: ChiliDude
According to 'The chile Pepper Encyclopedia', 'chile' is the Spanish-Mexican spelling for the plant and pod. 'chili' is a Texas Anglicized spelling for the dish, with the longer name being 'chili con carne'. But in New Mexico, 'chile' is used for both the pod and dish.
I'm not familiar with California chiles. You can probably make a decent red chile sauce with them. I've posted my recipe here a few times (uses different kinds of chiles, but you can figure out where to fit your pods in), so if you keyword search it, you can probably find it pretty easy. I'd cut and paste, but don't feel like finding it right now.
The sauce is very versatile, and you'll have no trouble finding a use for it.
Are these the same as Anaheims? If so, look for recipes calling for New Mexico chiles. I make New Mexico chile sauce which I use for enchiladas and breakfast burritos, anywhere a tasty chile sauce with mild kick would add some zip. I highly recommend dry toasting the chiles in a pan before using. It brings out a smoky depth of flavor. I made two batches of chiles, one with toasted chiles, one without (too much of a hurry) and the difference was very obvious.
I just used California chiles for the first time in the Chicken Chile Verde recipe that I found here on Chow. Really good for a party.
'California chile' is primarily a marketing term for the dried form of milder New Mexico (a.k.a. Anaheim) fresh chiles; 'New Mexico' has come to mean spicier (mas picante).
Those who market New Mexico chiles haven't really bothered to cater to foodies who care to distinguish between the multitude of varieties.
OTOH you can purchase distinct varieties of *fresh* chiles from the Hatch, NM area when in season (either on the internet or in some out of state locales like SoCal).
I use California chiles strictly as a 'stretcher' because they are half the price of well known Mexican varieties (ancho, guajillo, pasilla, etc).
The above rec to toast, soak, puree, then filter into sauce is right on. Besides enhancing flavor, any acid component (tomato, tomatillo or vinegar) to the sauce will increase shelf life immensely.

My cat gets dandruff and matted fur, but since I started giving her this oil her coat is smooth and silky. The oil itself is well received. I mix it into her food in the morning and I think it stimulates her appetite (which can be picky).
Packaging...bottle delivery of the oil itself

I would love to see a stopper placed in the bottle that keeps it from dripping or pouring out similar to what pharmacies use. Also, I think my neurologically-impaired cat is walking more upright since using the Omega 3, and she seems to like it. Although I think it really stinks, as in smelling fishy, of course.

Great product, my kitty has responded well to it and it is already helping with her digestion after just a couple weeks.
Excellent product at a great price!

In my opinion this is the best fish oil for Felines currently on the market, it comes from excellent sources and does not contain Cod liver oil which is bad for cats. I feed it to my 20 year old boys and it greatly improves their joint mobility and makes their coat silky. Please note that some cats don't care for fish oil so you may have to administer via syringe or dropper. for instance, one of my boys loves it straight out of the bottle in his dish, however his brother wouldn't touch it until I administered via dropper a couple times. He now laps it up just like his brother.

Gave this to my two cats. In less than a week of daily supplementation, their hair became very shiny, soft and silky to the touch. However it doesn't seem to help them shed less. Pretty good value as the bottle is quite big for cat's consumption. I may rotate with other brands. Three stars coz I was hoping it'd help their hair to grow stronger and shed less. Maybe it needs more time. Note: Do note, though, that somehow my cats don't really like the taste of this fish oil; they won't eat their wet food if I mix in the recommended amount of the oil. So I have to feed them with a syringe, which makes it inconvenient, as both cats will also run away when they see the bottle. Will try another brand next time, one that my cats will eagerly accept.

There was an item on the Today Programme on Radio 4 this morning about UCL's project [1] to research the legacies of British Slave Ownership.
In 1833 Parliament finally abolished slavery in the British Caribbean, Mauritius and the Cape. The slave trade had been abolished in 1807, but it took another 26 years to effect the emancipation of the enslaved.
However, in place of slavery the negotiated settlement established a system of apprenticeship, tying the newly freed men and women into another form of unfree labour for fixed terms. It also granted £20 million in compensation, to be paid by British taxpayers to the former slave-owners.
On the Radio 4 item this morning, it was mentioned that many clergy were among those who played a part in slave ownership, and received substantial amounts of compensation.
A search of the database (you can easily search by inserting 'clergy' in the 'occupation' section [2]) reveals 143 clergy who applied for compensation, many successfully, often with regard to the ownership of several hundred slaves (some playing a part in ownership of as many as 700). A search [2] by typing 'Church of England' in the 'religion' section of the database reveals 126 individuals.
Many of the claims were by individual clergy. But this inevitably puts the spotlight back on the involvement of the Church and raises questions once again about whether the Church should be seriously considering making reparations. Those advocating reparations - such as the Rev Jesse Jackson - point out that the impact of the slave trade is continuing and therefore contemporary. Trans-generational debt remains, and therefore must be addressed. There are also now practical suggestions for how reparations might be made [3].
In 2007, the BBC reported [4] that the Church of England had begun to consider the payment of reparations for its role in the slave trade having just apologised. However, this was quickly followed by a press briefing from Lambeth Palace which poured cold water on the idea and suggested Synod had rejected it [5].
In the current financial climate, and with the Church's own finances so pressed, it looks unlikely that the Church will voluntarily reopen the debate. But the evidence of how the Church, and its clergy have profited, and indeed still benefiit from the legacy of slavery is becoming more identifiable. It will continue to do so. And the Church's apology will appear cheaper as a result.
Meanwhile those within the Church who consider the idea of reparations to be integral to their faith and Christian ideas of justice, will also be left wondering whether it will once again be left to those outside the Church to point the institution in the right direction.

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect today from 1 PM until midnight for El Paso, Pueblo, Fremont, and Teller Counties and for the Wet Mountains and the Rampart Range.
All is quiet this morning, but a plume of moisture extending over the top of us from the south will be the fuel needed for this afternoon's upslope breeze to develop another round of showers and thunderstorms this afternoon evening. The moisture is being pulled into our area by low pressure to our west. High pressure over the Great Lakes is helping out. That low pressure circulation to our west has not been in a hurry to move for the past three days. It cut off from the jet stream early this week, but an area of low pressure over the Pacific Ocean embedded within the jet stream will finally give a push to the low pressure that has brought our rain so that it will finally move on and leave us alone. We will stay dry into the early afternoon. By 10 AM, temperatures will warm from the 50's into the 60's. By noon, some 70's start to show up on the map. It's especially from noon to 2 PM when showers begin developing in the higher elevations west of I-25. That is a trend that persists through 5 PM, but many areas will stay dry east of the mountains. Our StormCast picks up on a round of rain and thunderstorms, potentially producing heavy rain, from 5 PM to 10 PM. That seems to be when our biggest threat for flash flooding increases.
Through the afternoon, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will be around. Some of the stronger thunderstorms could be hail or wind producers. High temperatures will be in the 60's and 70's.
Coverage of the afternoon showers decreases tomorrow and decreases even more on Monday as humidity decreases. The decreasing humidity will allow temperatures to change more rapidly, too, so expect warming afternoons and slightly cooler mornings throughout next week. The afternoon upslope breeze could still mean a stray shower or two each day, particularly over the mountains or very near the mountains. A slow-moving low pressure area will approach us toward the end of next week, increasing the coverage of showers and thunderstorms by Friday.
