Capture: The Capture Pinhole Photography…,
Can I rip apart an old digital camera and experiment with my own pinhole?
The insane thing is, the real miniature CCDs use pinholes rather than lenses!!!!!!
How bizarre.....
or is the smell, fluid and magic the key to the whole nine yards for this show?

Hard News: The Treasure at the End of…,
All the “Noes” and the bible crowd maybe should have listened to this 21 year old for some interesting interpretations of the biblical verses outlawing “unnatural acts” before they voted.

I suppose I could go round the agrarian sector and lift a kilo or two of fertiliser. (noone would notice the small amount from their shed bags). After a while we will have a Hertz Truck worth, call into the petrol station and squirt deisel all over it, Pick up an old firecracker and........
Does this count as "dual use technology"?
Ore....go down to the Buller Gorge, with the map that tells you where "Uranium Point" is, find a few crumbs of clicking dirt and dump it in the K****ke lakes.
Whoa!!!! I could get in trouble for this.......
Message to GCSB - sorry - SIS (me being a local like): I wouldn't!!!!!
Apparently hammers have "dual uses" as well. I have used one for building a house AND straightening out the local cats.
Hydroponics for growing weed when it is supposed to be used ONLY for lettuce.

Damn: I grabbed the wrong link about Colin Powell although it was close!!!!

"Weapons of Mass Destruction" ? Here? In Good 'Ol Enzed? Where? What? The mind boggles. Hmmm...lets see....Maybe someone is collecting sheep knuckle bones and sending them to Gaza for the Palestinian's slings. Maybe the waste Bull Semen is being spread around the water supplies of ....well...anywhere really. Maybe our pure 100% milk is truly dangerous. Did Key read my post on formula? Afterall, it was a baby food factory that the US of A blasted to kingdom come in Sudan wasn't it? Dangerous stuff and we produce masses of it.
Hands up all of you who have visited Al jazerra on the net? You are a "person of interest".
Hang on. We produce the best aluminium in the world. Perfect for "Tube Guns" of mass destruction and much better than those shitty British ones they tried to give..er...sell for oil to Iraq.
What else. Wood. Timber. Think about the energy we are handing to the world. We export logs. LOGS! They burn! They are made from nuclear powered Suns. They are made into flaming torches and for stacking around poles for burning witches. Don't worry, they are stockpiling them for that wee exercise in the not too distant future. We have already started with stonings and prison and mass rape.
Give us a break John Key. You have taken a leaf out of General Colon (sic) Powell's book and are peddling fantasy. He learnt his lesson and has admitted it.
This is classic bullshit to justify the "need" to change the law. Go search for a scruple. You haven't got any.

Hard News: Key Questions, in reply to Chris Waugh,
Major bamboozling with (pseudo-)science, an alphabet soup of chemicals, and often the “100% pure, clean, green, pollution-free New Zealand-sourced milk”, and images of smart, healthy, happy, strong, pale-skinned (seriously!) babies.
And you wonder why there are strict rules on advertising formula here.
We do have a major major moral dilemma that has been around for years but has had been little spoken of. That is, we produce the milk, ship it overseas for others to make into formula. The Dairy Industry have taken the view along the lines of "We only make the guns". Admirable. But is seems that we are now allowing others to come in and make it here, using the Kiwi brand, and we can - again - morally bankrupt ourselves because "we" are not making the stuff.
What are we doing to our future generations? The WHO have very good reasons that convinced a damn big slice of the world to put in rules on advertising of formula.
"lack of breastfeeding—and especially lack of exclusive breastfeeding during the first half-year of life—are important risk factors for infant and childhood morbidity and mortality". In particular, the use of infant formula in less economically developed countries is linked to poorer health outcomes because of the prevalence of unsanitary preparation conditions, including lack of clean water and lack of sanitizing equipment.[

Has anyone discovered this gem? The Mention of Quantative Easing and a coworker showing me prompted this:

Quotes from lawmakers as the GCSB Act was brought into being may reveal their intent.
This Hansard stuff is extremely dangerous. Who allowed this to happen? Surely, if people want to know what is spoken in Parliament they should turn up and watch.
We can’t have this stuff dug out from some shitty old bit of paper that people think should be kept as “heritage”.
For gods sake, for an organisation set up to protect us, this sort of damaging information is dangerous to our democracy.
PS - Isn't Hansard a "backroom expense" anyway?
