Pork found in British prisons' halal food

Britain's Ministry of Justice suspended a supplier of halal meat to prisons after traces of pork were found inside meat pies and pasties.
All prisons have been informed and the halal-labelled products were withdrawn immediately, an MoJ spokesman said yesterday.
"This is an absolutely unacceptable situation and one which we regret greatly," said justice minister Jeremy Wright.
"Clearly this must be distressing for those affected and they can be reassured we are doing everything we can to resolve the situation. The Prison Service is investigating this as a matter of urgency."
Islam's halal slaughter method requires the abattoir to kill the animal by slitting its throat. Islamic law forbids the consumption of pork.
The discovery comes after horsemeat was found in beefburgers stocked by major British supermarket chains, with one brand of burger coming in at 29 per cent horse.
A spokeswoman for the Food Standards Agency said the latest incident involved traces of pork.
"The FSA has been informed that a number of meat pies and pasties supplied to UK prisons which were labelled and served as Halal contained traces of pork DNA," she said.
"The local authority (where the supplier is based) is investigating how this contamination came about and whether these products have been distributed further across the UK.
"People have a right to expect that the food they are eating is correctly described. We have called an urgent meeting of major retailers and suppliers on Monday to ensure that everyone is fully aware of their responsibilities.
"It is the responsibility of food businesses to ensure the food they sell contains what it says on the label. We are considering, with relevant local authorities, whether legal action is appropriate following the investigation."
The Prison Reform Trust campaign group welcomed the swift probe.
"This is not a matter of dietary preference but of Islamic law," said its director Juliet Lyon.

Description of Great Naval Battles: North Atlantic 1939-43
Great Naval Battles 1 and 2 were detailed simulation of World War naval operations that, in M. Evan. Brooks' words, are "historically detailed and recommended to the aficionado of the period. While the AI often suffered in the campaign game, it was still the standard-bearer of the genre." However, he thinks Great Naval Battles 3, is disappointing: "Covering the remainder of the Pacific, this simulation met a less-than-resounding welcome from gamers. Bug-ridden, it required numerous patches in order to become semi-playable. The entire system seemed to stretch in order to adequately cover the air operations, and since the system was ostensibly for surface warfare adherents, the entire direction of the design seemed to become suspect."

Good Experience So Far...
"I ordered my Umarex Octane on Saturday, they shipped it on Tuesday and I received it on Thursday. Not too shabby from Utah to the east coast... The gun was packaged well and in good condition on arrival. This Octane shoots well compared to the one I received from Airgun Depot. See that review to read about my experience with them. Hence the purchase from Pyramyd Air."
"Pyramyd Air cannot ship to all areas of the USA even though they advertise that they can ship anywhere in the world the law allows. The law allows those items in Pt Roberts but they made no effort to deliver my order there. Other companies have delivered those items no problem. There are other areas in the US that they will not deliver to, even when it's legal there."
"I happy so far with those who work to answer my question's, but I;m not happy with shipping cost of $7.99 and weight less than an oz for 1 item can be shipped for $3.37 or less"
"DO NOT DEAL WITH PYRAMID AIR!!! If you have a problem with your order they will just ignore your emails and if you ring them they will just hang up on you. Ive been trying to get my money back from them for over a month now :("
"Thought I was getting a steal on a "BRAND NEW" gun as described in the listing, BUT! When its sounds too good to be true, it's a lie. Gun was refurbished. Parts were missing + defective. Guess "Brand New" and "Lemon" has the same meaning according to Pyramyd Air."
"Purchased an HFC M190 airgun in December. Item was defective. I had a lot of difficulty in being put on hold by PyramydAir when I called but after sevral attempts was able to talk to someone. I returnded the item for a new replacement (shipping at my cost). A few weeks later I received the same item I had sent them with the same defect. I returned the item for a refund and once again was had to pay for the return chipping. "
"the gun has a few issues, but thats the manufacturer's problem. Pyramyds site was easy to use, and the gun arrived when they said it would. Good job people"
"I bought 4 boxes of pellets. They charged $7.99 shipping and it took a week to get them. {I live in the exact center of the US}. They could have sent them USPS Priority Mail for $4.00 and I would have gotten them in 2-3 days and they still would have made $3.99 extra! This is my second poor order from Pyramyd Air."
"Great and I would recommend Pyramyd Air"
"Their site is nicely laid out. The presence of reviews under each item is very helpful in making decisions. Great experience. Will use their site again."
"Great product, great service, great price, prompt shipping. Will do business with again."
"My experience with Pyramid Air was great. My package ordered way ahead of expected, was packaged well, worked fine, and was exactly what i as expecting. I went with pyramid air because i would have been able to buy two of what i needed (batteries) for the price of one from any other place, and the other stores didn't even have them in stock. "
"Everything shipped on time. Package was in good shape with it arrived in a new factory box."
"Overall experience was excellent! I placed my order online and I used the wrong billing address by accident. A Pyramyd Air customer service rep called me personally and corrected the information and re-ran it. My order shipped the day I ordered (day before thanksgiving) and I received it 3 days later. I got exactly what I ordered with no issues and everything was packed nicely."
"Excellent customer service and on time delivery.
Will definitely recommend them to friends and family."

Barack Obama's allies warn that John McCain's attacks on the Democrat's character will lead to the political equivalent of mutual assured destruction: Fire your big weapon at your own peril.
ASHEVILLE, N.C. — Barack Obama's allies warn that John McCain's attacks on the Democrat's character will lead to the political equivalent of mutual assured destruction: Fire your big weapon at your own peril.
Several Obama surrogates said his supporters may start reminding voters of McCain's ties to Charles Keating, a convicted savings-and-loan owner whose actions two decades ago triggered a Senate ethics investigation that involved McCain as one of the "Keating Five."
The warnings of massive retaliation came as McCain's running mate, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, took on the role of attacker and said that Obama sees America as so imperfect "that he's palling around with terrorists who would target their own country." She was referring to an early Obama supporter, 1960s radical Bill Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground whose members were blamed for several bombings when Obama was a child.
Palin defended her claim Sunday, saying the issue is "fair to talk about."
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Paul Allen ends KEXP's yearslong fundraising drive with $500,000 donation

Most Read Stories
Obama has denounced Ayers' radical views and actions. On Sunday, Obama dismissed the criticism from the McCain campaign, leveled by Palin, as "smears" meant to distract voters from real problems such as the troubled economy.
Democrats were well-synchronized Sunday, using the word "erratic" and Keating's name in nearly matching sentences across the talk-show circuit.
"This is going to be a month, I think, of character assassination," Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., an Obama supporter, said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Indeed, McCain adviser Greg Strimple predicted "a very aggressive last 30 days" of the campaign.

Colonel Eduard Harkort: A German Soldier of
Fortune in Mexico and Texas, 1832-1836
Louis E. BRISTER*
Harcourt, served in the Texas army as captain of the engineers
from March 28 until his death on August 11, 1836.1 One of about a
hundred Germans in Texas who served in the struggle for Texas inde-
pendence from Mexico, Harkort took a singularly indirect route to
that province.2 He had left Germany for reasons that were neither
political nor entirely economic. In Mexico Harkort served as a colonel
of artillery in the army for almost four years and fought in several
major battles for the federalist party. He had earned the esteem of
such federalist leaders as General Jose Antonio Mejia and Lorenzo de
Zavala before his political sympathies caused him to be deported by
the centralist government of Antonio L6pez de Santa Anna. Harkort
arrived in New Orleans from Mexico in November, 1835. Two months
later he was recruited by Stephen F. Austin for the Texas army, in
which service he spent the remaining months of his life.
Harkort was born on July 18, 1797, near the city of Hagen in West-
phalia. As the son of Johann Caspar Harkort IV, a wealthy manu-
*Louis E. Brister is professor of German at Southwest Texas State University. His re-
search interests are Germans in Texas and Mexico in the nineteenth century.
1Harkort anglicized his name when he arrived in New Orleans in November, 1835.
See note 34 below. A pay certificate, issued by the Texas secretary of war, Branch T.
Archer, on October i, 184o, shows Harkort's term of military service to have been from
March 28 to August 15, 1836. Edward Harcourt File, Audited Military Claims, Comp-
troller of Public Accounts Record Group (Archives Division, Texas State Library, Aus-
tin). His death notice appeared in the Telegraph and Texas Register (Houston), Sept.
13, 1836. See also Walter Prescott Webb, H. Bailey Carroll, and Eldon Stephen Branda
(eds.), The Handbook of Texas (3 vols.; Austin, 1952, 1976), I, 766.
2In 1894 William von Rosenberg searched the immigration and military service records
in the Texas State Archives for the names of Germans who had entered Texas before
the end of the Revolution. Von Rosenberg names ninety-five adult male Germans who
aided the Anglo colonists in their struggle for independence. Louis E. Brister (trans. and

McCann on the Jude cops verdict
As one might expect, Milwaukee's longest-serving district attorney sounded pleased when we called him at home today to ask what he thought about today's federal-court convictions of three ex-MPD cops in the beating of Frank Jude Jr.
"I think justice is done," E. Michael McCann, who was Milwaukee's DA for 38 years, said of the guilty verdicts for Jon Bartlett, Daniel Masarik and Andrew Spengler.
The trial of the three in state court last year became the only felony jury verdict McCann ever lost in more than 40 years of prosecuting, and he went into retirement frustrated about the lost trial. McCann said he followed the federal case from a distance — "I read the newspaper stories, but that was it," he told us — and had been hoping for convictions.
He didn't have much to say about today's acquittal of Ryan Packard, who was not charged in the state-court prosecutions.
"I didn't know what additional evidence the U.S. Attorneys had on Packard," McCann said.
Perhaps most interestingly, McCann offered that even if he had won the case last year, the convictions would have been overturned once ex-MPD cop Joseph Schabel admitted he lied on the stand to conceal what he had done to Jude.
"If it came to light later that Schabel had lied, that would
have resulted in the verdicts being vacated anyway, because he was a key
witness," McCann said.
The former prosecutor added that knowing Schabel had "fooled people" for so long about the situation was a disappointment.
"A perjurious officer is a very dangerous man," McCann said. "That was a realdisappointment that a guy would li e like that under oath in the state's case."
Finally, we asked him whether, as some courthouse observers have surmised this afternoon, the divided verdict means it will be harder for the ex-cops' appeals to argue that a biased jury rushed to convictions.
"They sure as hell, with three days of deliberation, can't be accused of rushing to judgment," McCann said. "I would say they labored to judgment, not rushed."
As for what McCann's doing in retirement? Charity work and work at Marquette, he said.
That book he promised about the heart of a prosecutor?
"Not as much as I wish has been done on that," he said. "I can speak with facility, but I have more of a challenge writing."

Our Enduring Fascination with Portals to Another World or DimensionPosted by Greg at 01:36, 06 Aug 2014
Today sees the release of Lev Grossman's The Magician's Land (Amazon US/Amazon UK), the concluding chapter of his excellent Magicians series. Over at the A.V. Club, Grossman discusses 5 favorite magic portals in fantasy fiction, with some interesting insights into our fascination with doorways to other magical places or dimensions:
There's an appeal to those portals, and it's always been extremely primal to me. Even when I was 8 and read The Lion, The Witch, And The Wardrobe for the first time, it hit me like a truck. Of course this can't possibly be all there is. There has to be some alternative to this world that's all around me. If I could just look in the right direction, I could see it. There's something so seductive about that idea, and I knew I had to write about it at some point. I remember reading [the first book in] A Song Of Ice And Fire in the '90s and thinking, Martin has remade epic fantasy completely. He's taken the Tolkien tradition and transformed it. Nobody had done that for the C.S. Lewis tradition, which has always had more of an air of middle-grade fiction about it. Could you take that idea of the portal fantasy and drag it into adulthood? What would it look like? That's where The Magicians came from, trying to reengineer that subgenre for adults.
Grossman mentions just a few of the famous magical portals from history, but when I began to think about it, the idea of magical portals is amazingly prevalent, from fantasy right through to science fiction (hence the Stargate image at the top of this post).
It's a genre that has always appealed to me, so if you've got some favourite 'portal fiction' to share, please do so in the comments!

The 100 Best Science Fiction MoviesPosted by Greg at 01:05, 30 Jul 2014
Are you a connoisseur of science fiction films? Check out Time Out's list of the "100 Best Sci-Fi Movies" and see how many you've fed to your eyeballs. Let me know in the comments how many you can tick off, and any notable absences or problems with the order that you can see.
Apart from catering to some of the 'blockbuster' movies that are more sci-fi in setting than theme, I think it's a great list...the fact that I thought The Matrix should be a bit higher, but couldn't figure out which movie to tip out to make way for it, suggests that they've done an excellent job. No doubt helped by the fact that the list was voted on by "leading sci-fi experts, filmmakers, science fiction writers, film critics and scientists", such as Guillermo del Toro and George R.R. Martin.
Crowdfunding the Cosmic TriggerPosted by Greg at 01:59, 26 May 2014
The world needs more Robert Anton Wilson. At a time when so many people take themselves and their views far too seriously, RAW's "agnostic mysticism" provides a different way forward, one in which we all understand the 'reality tunnels' we live within - and as a consequence, help us to take everything *we* say with a grain of salt.
So I was excited to see the newly-created crowd-funding drive to support a stage play (and accompanying festival) based around RAW's Cosmic Trigger, which will be directed by Daisy Campbell (daughter of British theatre maven Ken Campbell, who in 1976 staged a now-legendary play based on another RAW classic, Illuminatus!):
[I]t's time to tackle another one of Wilson's works: Cosmic Trigger, the philosophical tract which has influenced figures as diverse as X-Files creator Chris Carter, SF author and futurist David Brin, film-makers and South Park Creators Matt Stone and Trey Parker, and author Tom Robbins. Philip K Dick said Wilson had "reversed every mental polarity in me, as if I had been pulled through infinity". Jesse Walker called Wilson "the elephant in our cultural living room".
Daisy's adaptation recounts the period of Bob's life around the inspiration for, writing of and theatrical culmination of Illuminatus!, a period where he also met iconic countercultural figures like Timothy Leary, Alan Watts and William Burroughs, all of whom feature in the play. The narrative slips in and out of Illuminatus! itself and the production employs song, music, projections and stagecraft to evoke the real-life hallucinogenic trip through conspiracy, paranoia and enlightenment that transformed Bob from a simple Playboy editor into the influential countercultural figure he is today.
Robert Anton Wilson sought to induce in his readers agnosticism; not just about God, but about everything; and all his work blurs the lines between truth and fiction. This will be reflected in a staging style that often breaks down theatrical conventions, with actors amidst the audience, tiny stage-sets that can pop up anywhere and cutting-edge projection trickery, allowing the very walls of the theatre to drop away at one climatic moment. Alan Moore (Watchmen, V For Vendetta) will voice The World's Most Intelligent Computer, and Jamie Reid (Sex Pistols album artist) will lend his occult artworks to the production.
The three hour play will be the centerpiece to a three day festival of Bob, celebrating the author, his work, his influence and his legacy. A range of influential contemporary speakers will attend and give addresses, people like Robin Ince, John Higgs and members of the Maybe Logic Academy. This will be a forum to listen to contemporary countercultural figures, network with like-minded individuals and pick up rare books and goods in the marketplace. So you're not just funding a play, you're funding a circus that we want to bring to your town.
Bob's ideas are profound, optimistic and funny. His legacy will one day be remembered alongside such literary philosophers as Aldous Huxley and James Joyce – if those of us whose lives he's enriched pull together now and make this event a reality.
Here's Daisy Campbell talking about the project:
To get a feel for the fun and madness that is sure to accompany a production of RAW's work - not least via a woman whose middle name is Eris! - have a read of Cat Vincent's Daily Grail review of the Pulling the Cosmic Trigger event held earlier this year in Liverpool, and also check out the story I wrote last year documenting some of the insane synchronicities and links that emerged out of Ken Campbell's 1976 production of Illuminatus!.
And if in any doubt about the importance of Robert Anton Wilson's work, listen to Alan Moore, who definitely knows the score when it comes to RAW (note that one of the pledge rewards for the crowd-funding drive is a DVD of the complete interview with Alan which the excerpt below is taken from):
Come on Grailers, let's get behind a worthy cause - head on over to IndieGoGo and drop some coins in the can (mmm, gotta get me one of those awesome t-shirts!), and help pull the Cosmic Trigger!

David Lynch's Star Wars SequelPosted by Greg at 05:08, 22 May 2014
Why did I not branch off into this multiverse?
In 1981 George Lucas approached David Lynch to direct the final installment of the STAR WARS trilogy. For years fans of Lynch and Lucas have wondered what that surreal vision would look like. Now we finally know.... in David Lynch's RETURN OF THE JEDI.
Meanwhile, there's a fun discussion of possible movie titles for a David Lynch Star Wars movie over at the Boing Boing BBS: "Mulholland Hyperdrive", "Tatooine Peaks", "Pod-racer-head" and "Wild AT-AT Heart". Any more folks?
Michael Prescott's Paranormal Thriller, 'Chasing Omega'Posted by Greg at 04:00, 12 Feb 2014
Many readers will know Michael Prescott as a blogger who posts intelligent analyses of various paranormal-themed topics, from historical cases through to cutting edge parapsychological theories (we occasionally link to Michael's blog in our news briefs, and have featured some of his essays in our Fortean anthology series Darklore). But Michael's writing talents aren't confined to non-fiction - he's also a very successful novelist who has released a number of novels, the most recent of which is Chasing Omega, a story about "a psychic medium on the run from a secret conspiracy that may hold the key to the truth about life, death...and what comes after".
After twenty years in traditional publishing, novelist Michael Prescott found himself out of work in 2007, his career apparently over. On a whim, he began releasing his older titles and some new novels in ebook form. Much to his amazement, sales took off, and by 2011 he was one of the bestselling ebook writers in the United States, profiled in USA Today and sought after for interviews. To date he has sold nearly 1.5 million ebooks.
His latest ebook releases are three backlist titles, COMES THE DARK, SHUDDER, and SHATTER, the crime thriller COLD AROUND THE HEART, the anthology STEEL TRAP AND OTHER STORIES, and the paranormal novella CHASING OMEGA
Funnily enough, given his knowledge in paranormal topics, Chasing Omega is the first of Michael's novels to really delve into this area - it's only $2.99 on Kindle, so grab a copy if you're on the lookout for something to read! (You can also view Michael's other books on his Amazon author page)

Free eBook: The First Church on the Moon (Limited Time, Get in!)Posted by Greg at 12:32, 13 Aug 2013
Our good friend John Higgs, who has written articles for two Grail-related publications (Sub Rosa and Darklore), has just released his latest novel The First Church on the Moon (as J.M.R. Higgs) - and for the next day or so, you can grab it as a Kindle eBook ABSOLUTELY FREE from Amazon US or Amazon UK! It's a wonderful humorous exploration of everything from religion to free will and why you really shouldn't drink alcohol on the Moon, very much in the style of Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett. It won't be free for much longer, so get in!
If you need real paper in order to read, there are also paper versions available - though you'll have to pay real paper money in return for one of those: grab a paperback from Amazon US or Amazon UK.
And if you haven't already read John's first novel, The Brandy of the Damned, then I highly recommend you grab a copy - it blew me away, and is one of the best books I've read in a long, long while.
New Fiction from Graham Hancock: War GodPosted by Greg at 10:50, 23 Jul 2013
War God, a fiction novel by our good friend, alternative history author Graham Hancock, is now available in the U.S. as a Kindle eBook - and you can pick it up for just $2.99!
This is the epic story of the clash of two empires, two armies and two gods of war. Five hundred desperate adventurers are about to pit themselves against the most brutal armies of the ancient Americas, armies hundreds of thousands strong.
Dark powers that work behind the scenes of history show their hand as the prophecy of the return of Quetzalcoatl is fulfilled with the arrival of Cortés. The Aztec ruler Moctezuma fights to maintain the demands of the war god Huitzilopochtli for human sacrifice. The Spanish Inquisition is planning an even greater blood-letting.
Yet, in the midst of the brutal and bloody battles, deep friendship and love survive through the massacres. Tozi, a young girl, who has seen many deaths inflicted in many ingenious and horrible ways, uses her magical gifts to save those she loves. Pepillo, a Spanish orphan who serves a sadistic Dominican friar, is taken under the wing of Cortés, and begins to learn what it takes to be a conquistador.
They are caught up in the headlong collision between two gods of war, along with Malinal, a beautiful sex slave, whose hatred of Moctezuma runs so deep she will sell out her own land and people to destroy him.
For those that love the feel of paper, a hardcover edition is available from Amazon UK. For more information about the book, including reviews and sample chapters, see Graham's website.
The Story and the TellerPosted by Greg at 02:52, 18 May 2013
Our good friend Mark Foster has just released the second novel in his "Messages From The Unseen World" sci-fi/fantasy series, titled The Story and the Teller. The first novel, Everywhere But No Place, was a cracker of a read, and I can't wait to bury my head in the sequel. Part cyber-techno thriller, part mythic and part magic, the series is a great tale well told.
And if you haven't yet read Everywhere But No Place, listen up: to celebrate the release of the new book The Story and the Teller, Mark has made the first book in the series A FREE DOWNLOAD for Kindle readers! Get in now folks, before he realises this madness and changes his mind. And while you're there, why not actually pay for a copy of the second novel, because (a) it's just a few bucks for two fantastic novels and (b) he fully deserves some money in his pocket for these wonderful books.
Note too, if you like to dip your toe in the water before submerging fully, the first few chapters of each book are also available as samples on the Messages From The Unseen World website.
The Strange Journey of the KLFPosted by Greg at 14:41, 07 May 2013
This article is excerpted from Darklore Volume 7, which is now available for sale from Amazon US and Amazon UK (collectors/investors: a Limited Edition hardcover is also available). The Darklore anthology series features the best writing and research on paranormal, Fortean and hidden history topics, by the most respected names in the field: Robert Schoch, Nick Redfern, Loren Coleman, Robert Bauval and Daniel Pinchbeck, to name just a few. Darklore's aim is to support quality researchers, so it makes sense to support Darklore. For more information on the series (including more free sample articles), visit the Darklore website.
From Operation Mindf**k to The White Room
The Strange Discordian Journey of the KLF
by J.M.R. Higgs
In the 1980s, pop stars made movies. Prince, Madonna and the Pet Shop Boys all went in front of the cameras. The KLF made a film as well, but they went about it in a very different manner. Theirs was never released, or even properly finished, and they made it before they had a string of hit singles rather than afterwards. It was called The White Room.
The White Room is a very different beast to Purple Rain or Desperately Seeking Susan. It's a dialogue-free ambient road movie just under an hour in length, for a start. The band had experimented with ambient film before, shooting an experimental movie called Waiting on VHS on the Isle of Jura the previous year. The White Room, however, had been shot with a professional crew and cost around £250,000, money they had earned from a Doctor Who-themed novelty record they had released under the name The Timelords.
The film starts at a rave in the basement of a South London squat known as Transcentral. Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty, the duo behind The KLF, leave the party and get into a 1968 Ford Galaxie American police car. In the back sits a solicitor, played by their own solicitor David Franks. He hands them a contract, which the pair sign without reading. Franks exits and Drummond and Cauty drive off.
Pretty much most of the rest of the film is them driving.
First, they drive around London at night. Then, they drive around the Sierra Nevada region of Spain. This goes on for some time. Not much happens, although they do find a dead eagle, and at one point they stop for petrol.
Eventually the pair stop and build a camp fire, an event which occurs twice in the film. At each point, the solicitor is seen in the smoke from the fire, studying the contract – a distinctly Faustian image. The solicitor discovers something in one of the contract's clauses, and writes 'Liberation Loophole!' on the contract.
Events in the film now gain more momentum. Drummond is seen throwing the contract into the air, obviously delighted. He has, by this point, changed into a pair of plus-fours and is dressed not unlike an Edwardian mountaineer. Cauty then paints the car white and they drive, past a burning bush, up into the snow-peaked mountains. When the car gets stuck in the snow they abandon it and continue up on foot. Cauty has not joined Drummond in sporting the Edwardian mountaineer look, instead wearing a more sensible white parka. Eventually they reach the summit, where they find a large white building with a radio telescope. They go in.
They find themselves in a white, smoke-filled void – the White Room. They find a pair of fake moustaches on a pedestal, and put them on. Then they find the solicitor, sitting at a white table. He shows them the clause he has found in the contract. They nod. The pair then walk away, dissolving into the smoke and vanishing into the void. The End.
It was, all in all, an odd way to spend £250,000. The story of why it was made, however, is far stranger.
The Most Influential Photocopier in History?
In the mid-1960s a photocopier was state of the art technology, and having access to one was something of a privilege. The act of using an office photocopier after hours for personal projects, without the boss knowing, was therefore a far riskier and more rebellious act than it is today. This was certainly the case for Lane Caplinger, a secretary for New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison.
In 1991 Garrison was portrayed by Kevin Costner in Oliver Stone's movie JFK, a film based on Garrison's book On The Trail Of The Assassins. But this was 1965, a year before he became involved in Kennedy conspiracies and two years before the Summer of Love thrust hippies, psychedelic drugs and alternative lifestyles in front of an unprepared public. Things had not yet begun to 'get weird', in other words, and for a respected public figure like Garrison, there was little to indicate what surprises the future had in store. He would have been quite unprepared, then, for ... Read More »
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!

Hello everyone,
and welcome to our little photo technique blog. Neat little tricks and hacks on how to make the best pictures ever. So… have you ever tried taking a photo in dim conditions? Like, at night, with your eyes closed, or in an economy in recession… hey … hey is that tumble weed passing by? Why is there tumble weed passing… oh…. ohhhhh, because it wasn't funny, I get it… anyway… Where was I … ah right. So, unless you have had one of those eye-sight damaging flashes, your picture has probably turned out in 50 shades of dark gr… what's that… tumble weed? AGAIN??…I guess I'll close the door real quick, hold on … (door shuts)… Soooo… the reason for your picture being dark is that they are under exposed… and THAT just so happens to also be the explanation if you have never heard or seen the word irgend in German, which is what we'll look at today.
(this intro was nominated for the "Worst Intro 2013 Award" but didn't win )
So, today we'll look at the meaning of the super common
and that means we'll explore the origin, talk about the easy words like irgendwann or irgendwo and we'll also find out about the differences between etwas and irgendetwas and jemand and irgendjemand.
Quite a lot to do so let's dive right in, shall we? Awe-some…

TACOMA — The Prairie girls basketball team completed its mission Saturday night, picking up another state championship for the program, and its first with this class of talent.
A year after finishing second in the Class 3A state tournament, the Falcons rolled to this year's title, taking down Franklin of Seattle 54-44 in the Tacoma Dome.
Heather Corral was named the tournament's MVP. She had another all-around performance with some scoring, fancy passing and dominant defense to cap her high school career.
"All the hard work, all the sweat, all the yelling, all the tears. It's all worth it," said Corral, who missed the last two state tournaments with knee injuries.
Cori Woodward led four Falcons in double figures with 13 points.
"It's amazing. I'm so happy. I am so happy and excited for my team," Woodward said. "If feels so much better to be first than second. I don't have words for this experience right now."
Megan Lindsley added 11 and Jackie Lanz and Andrea Smith finished with 10 apiece.
This is Prairie's sixth state championship, and first since 2003. The Falcons, who have made it to the state tournament the past 15 years, had lost in their last two finals appearances.
Now, Prairie (27-1) is back on top, winner of 27 in a row to conclude the 2011-12 season.
"I really believed it all year," Prairie coach Al Aldridge said.
The result also gave Clark County two state championships in the dome Saturday. Skyview won the Class 4A title earlier in the evening.
The prime-time game belonged to Prairie.
Lanz said the Falcons never had any doubts.
"We came out with a confidence knowing we were going to win it," Lanz said. "At halftime, we pretty much said this is our half. Let's bury them. Our mentality was this is our championship. We want it, and we deserve it."
Prairie took control of this defensive battle with an 11-0 run in the second quarter to take a 24-13 lead. The Falcons were never threatened the rest of the way in a physical game.
Corral had a rough shooting night, finishing with six points. But she made her presence known all over the court with six steals and two blocked shots. She also had seven assists. Three times she got a steal on the press, then found open teammates for layups — the steal/assist combo.
"Ever see a kid dominant a game like she did with just one basket?" Aldridge asked.
Woodward scored nine of her points in the second half.
Smith came off the bench to provide a spark with her 10 points. She was 4 for 4 at the line, as well.
"I wasn't scared," Smith said. "I was scared last year. This year I kept my composure. I made sure I did my best. This is my senior year. I wanted to finish strong."
Kelsey Asplund, another senior, reflected on what it took for the Falcons to reach the top.
"I feel so relieved. After four years, every single day in the gym, working together. It's just feels so good to finally have what we've been working for," she said.
Prairie struggled against the physical style of Franklin for a quarter or so. The Quakers tied the game at 13 before the Falcons got on a roll. Smith and Woodward each had four points in the 11-0 run and Corral capped it with a 3-pointer.
The Falcons led by 10 at the half and nine going into the fourth quarter. But again, the Quakers never appeared to be within striking distance against Prairie's defense. Franklin shot 28 percent from the floor.
"Coach told us it was going to be a physical game. He wanted us to be prepared," said Lanz, who was voted to the all-tournament team along with Corral. "When our shots weren't falling for us, he told us to make it up on the other end of the floor."
The Falcons pushed the lead to 17 before settling for the 10-point victory.
That gave Aldridge six state titles in his career.
"The big thing was getting off that nine-year hiatus," he said. "Knowing we won it, finally, instead of just being close."
FRANKLIN — Janee Lewis 2, Kayla Ivy 0, Mariah Rogers 3, Jadea Brundidge 15, Raven Burleson 0, Qiara Norwood 2, Enjunay Jones-Lee 4, Patrice Toston 10, Taneka Silas 0, Jazmin Horne 8. Totals 15-53 (2-14) 12-18 44.
PRAIRIE — Lindsay Asplund 1, Cori Woodward 13, Heather Corral 6, Kelsey Asplund 3, Mary Banks 0, Nicole Goecke 0, Emily Peters 0, Megan Lindsley 11, Rachel Deaton 0, Andrea Smith 10, Aleah Walz 0, Jackie Lanz 10. Totals 16-49 (3-15) 19-30 54.
Franklin 9 8 11 16–44
Prairie 13 14 10 17–54
First Team
MVP: Heather Corral, Prairie
Jadea Brundidge, Franklin; Myzhanique Ladd, Cleveland; Jackie Lanz, Prairie; Brianne Lasconia, Shorecrest
Second Team
Hallie Gennett, University; Qiara Norwood, Franklin; MaryAnn Santucci, Seattle Prep; Khadidja Toure, Kamiakin; Kayleigh Valley, University.

Although Kangna Ranaut is thankful to her mother Asha for teaching her basic life lessons, she also confesses to be scared of her strict mom.
Talking about her childhood memories, the actress said she doesn't remember her mom's lullabies, but her strictness.
Sharing a childhood moment, Kangna said: "I was beaten up with a broom in my childhood. There is nothing memorable than that. All mothers sing lullaby for their children and feed them with good food."
"My mother was a Sanskrit teacher and all the students in the school were scared of her," added the actress, who was recently seen opposite John Abraham in Sanjay Gupta's "Shootout At Wadala".
But at the same time, Kangna says her mom trained her so well that if she has to quit acting, she has an alternative.
"My mother had trained me in everything, except for acting. I know how to wash dishes and cook food. I was told that you will let down the family after marriage," she told reporters at Thank You Mom event organised by P&G on the occasion of Mother's Day falling coming Sunday.
"So just in case it doesn't work out here, I am set," she added.
The 26-year-old National Award winning actress, who made her Bollywood debut in 2006 with "Gangster - A Love Story", hails from a Rajput family in Himachal Pradesh.
Kangna will soon be seen in "I Love New Year" opposite Sunny Deol.
Actress Shraddha Kapoor and filmmaker Abhishek Kapoor were also present at the event along with their mothers.

Primitiva S. T. is a member of the village bank with a loan of 600 Peruvian Nuevo Soles ($210 USD). She says: "My business is to buy and sell livestock such as sheep, cows and pigs that I bring to Paucará and the Acombamba fair. Furthermore I raise animals and cultivate oats, barley and potatoes in order to make 'chuño' (dried potato). In a few years I hope to allow my children to study and become professionals. Now they are in Huancayo studying in high school. With FINCA Perú I am going to save for my children´s future because I want to make them study and not only work on a farm. I also hope to increase my livestock. Now I am with FINCA Perú in order to learn how to save and work with more confidence, responsibility and to receive the training that they are going to give."
María G. P. is working with a loan of 600 Peruvian Nuevo Soles ($210 USD) and says the following: "I and my spouse work to buy and sell animals, principally cattle. I myself have a business where I buy and sell sheep and at times cattle. My dream is to enable my children to study in Huancayo or the Institute of Paucará. I have joined FINCA Perú to learn how to save because I have a relative that has joined a village bank and has told me it has been a very good experience. I am going to listen to FINCA´s training and at times celebrate the birthdays of fellow members and learn to practice human values."

In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php Shapeways: Bring your creativity to life in 3D How would I soften this mesh edge http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=49174&th=9713#msg_49174 <![CDATA[Hi all,

 I am trying to figure out how to soften this edge. I have used a mesh offset command in Rhino 3D to create this solid, and would like to round it smooth. Looks like Rhino 3D has no commands for this. Can any body enlighten me as to how to get this done.

 Thanks Flubber.]]> Flubber 2012-05-30T01:50:08-00:00 Re: How would I soften this mesh edge http://www.shapeways.com/forum/index.php?t=rview&goto=49525&th=9713#msg_49525 <![CDATA[Theres a way to do it in zbrush. post the model as a .obj and Ill do it for you.

And please feel free to correct me if I am wrong since this is something I have tried to do in the past.

Check out this video, this smooths out the mesh corners but can also over smooth the entire mesh. This might be helpful.

Tiger Woods' ex-wife Elin Nordegren speaks out in People Magazine - Golf News - Golf News & Articles | Golf Channel
Nordegren told People that she never hit her husband, and that she avoided watching TV during the worst of the ordeal, but she admitted that when she did watch, she found some of the parodies of her on Saturday Night Live, South Park and other shows hysterical, though inaccurate.
"There was never any violence inside or outside our home," she said. "The speculation that I would have used a golf club to hit him is just truly ridiculous. Tiger left the house that night, and after a while when he didn't return, I got worried and decided to look for him. That's when I found him in the car. I did everything I could to get him out of the locked car. To think anything else is absolutely wrong."
Nordegren wished Woods all the best as an athlete and a person.
I know he is going to go down as the best golfer that ever lived, and rightfully so. I feel privileged to have witnessed a part of his golfing career."
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
At least the interviews are not getting personnal and attacking him. She is being very cordial in with everything (granted it was probably part of the divorce decree).
