COMMENTARY: Allergic to sex? On book pulping and pursed lips
(RNS) Allergic to sex? A number of major organized religions seem to be. This week the severe separation of sex and religion came dramatically to light once again, and from a somewhat unlikely direction.
Penguin India, it was widely reported, agreed to recall and destroy all copies in India of the 2009 book "The Hindus: An Alternative History" by highly respected American scholar Wendy Doniger. (Full disclosure: Penguin India published one of my own novels.)
Alarm at this action has strongly focused on the limiting of free expression, which is indeed a hugely important aspect of the case. Less noted is the fact that this decision further widens the sex/faith divide. The two subjects were already segregated and not just in India. Beyond tersely declaring sex as just-for-marriage or just-for-babies, "the church," in virtually all of its many forms, seems to have a serious aversion, in practice, to discussing the subject.
While the offended Hindu group has many objections to Doniger's book, one of the main ones, according to Time magazine, is "the juxtaposition of sex and Hinduism." The leader of the organization that successfully campaigned for destroying the book says that Doniger's particular portrayal of sex and Hinduism insults the gods and goddesses and the whole of the book "hurt(s) the feelings" of Hindus.
In contrast, The Times of India says the book "appears to make the case that sex was treated by Hinduism as a natural, beautiful part of life." Hinduism is a religion that -- once upon a time -- produced a substantial amount of erotic art (and didn't pronounce it heresy); the sculptures at Khajuraho, for example, and the famed Kama Sutra, the ancient Sanskrit guide to living a loving, pleasurable, and virtuous life.
The Judeo-Christian religions have never been so open-minded on the subject.
If Hindu protesters are able to quash a book of the intellectual heft of Doniger's, what's the hope for a conservative church's Sunday school class having a useful discussion, something that goes beyond finger-wagging and labels of "naughty-naughty?" What's needed from churches is attention to the ethics of sexual activity, the emotional realities, the ramifications, frustrations, fears, drives, day-to-day decisions. Spirituality includes bodies as well as souls.
If our chief promoters and guardians of virtue can't handle a subject so large and pervasive, who can?
The subject is, of course, innately private and can be embarrassing to talk about. I get that. Our churches have a moral obligation to toughen up and open the subject anyway.
I've recently had emails from Christian ministers making the same comment. (Full disclosure: I write novels that intertwine explicit sexuality and religious faith, two of them involving Hinduism.)
As is so often the case with novelists, I write on my particular subjects not out of conscious choice but because they rise to the surface and won't be ignored. Sex does rise to the surface in churches as well; the minister running off with the soprano is a cliche. And as one minister recently wrote to me: "I had no clue as an idealistic young pastor how dangerous our vocation is. … Spiritual intimacy and sexual intimacy cannot be separated."
We'd do well to more widely acknowledge that. Religion does a disservice by trying to leave sex out of the human/divine equation.
(Peggy Payne is the author of the novels "Cobalt Blue," "Sister India," and "Revelation.")

Mission Accomplished: 5 Million Steps to Finish the Appalachian Trail
On a blustery, cloudy Saturday two weeks ago, with the temperature in the mid-40s, Salem native Garrett Seibert strapped on his backpack – the same pack he had been lugging nearly every day for the past five months – and began the final leg of a 2,184-mile journey.
As he climbed toward the 5,268-ft. summit of Maine's Mount Katahdin, he thought about the long slog from Georgia's Springer Mountain requiring some 5 million footsteps, the bone-numbing fatigue, the sore muscles, the rain, the mud, the mosquitoes, the countless pots of rice cooked over an alcohol stove he fashioned from a soda can.
But the higher Garrett ascended the more he thought about the days picking blueberries on the Bigelows of Maine, or gazing, seemingly forever, from the peaks of New Hampshire's White Mountains, or enjoying the "trail magic" hospitality of freshly cooked meals and treats from generous strangers down South.
By the time Garrett climbed atop a wooden sign marking both Katahdin's summit and the northern terminus of the fabled Appalachian Trail, a smile as big as a mountain range stretched across his face, and he spread his arms in elation.
Mission accomplished: Garrett had finished hiking one of the world's most celebrated footpaths, the Appalachian Trail.
All around him other hikers also were completing their journeys – some broke down in sobs, some shouted with joy – but Garrett mostly felt overwhelming relief and did not linger at the summit.
He simply turned around and began descending to the Katahdin Springs campground, where a car was waiting. Halfway down he met his parents, Michael and Kimberly Seibert, and sister, Kimberly, who had hiked up to greet him. The family hiked down together and then drove back to Connecticut – a memorable reunion.
"It was great," Garrett said.
He has set out on the trail April 1 with Matt Baer of East Lyme, a former classmate at East Lyme High School, but Matt was forced to drop out a week later after injuring his Achilles tendon.
Garrett quickly found other companions and traveled at various times the rest of the way with other through-hikers with such trail names as Misery, Shady, Mustard Tiger, Stumbles, Beacon and Mr. Frodo.
Every year several thousand hikers from around the world set out on the AT – most of them traveling northbound – but only a few hundred manage to cover the entire distance. Since the trail was completed in 1937, more than 13,000 hikers have gone the whole way.
When he finished on Aug. 3, Garrett was the 92nd hiker this year to reach Katahdin, out of 761 who had signed up in Georgia by April 1.
Garrett averaged about 18 miles of hiking a day and took only 12 days off in five months. His longest day was 35.5 miles; the hardest but most rewarding were in New Hampshire where the trail crosses the Presidential Range, and in Maine's Mahoosuc Notch, where a boulder-riddled section is known as the nastiest mile on the AT.
"It was the hardest, but also the 'funnest,'" he said.
It also rained for more than a week in Vermont's Green Mountains.
"Nothing but mud and roots," he said. "Some of the trails were more like rivers."
Garret, who graduated from East Lyme High in 2008 and earned a degree in ecotourism and outdoor recreation from New Hampshire's Plymouth State University recreation, plans to leave Salem in a few days and return to his job as an instructor at an adventure camp in California.
Next on the agenda: the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,663-mile path from the California-Mexico to the Washington-Canada borders – "but probably not for a few years."
Garrett said he wants to savor his experience on the AT, pay some college loans and also save some money for PCT hike.
"Hopefully, within the next five years," he said.

Most liqueurs are gentle, sweet and eager to please, like helpful Boy Scouts in a bottle. Fernet Branca is no Boy Scout. A bombastically bitter Italian liqueur, Fernet Branca is an alpha-dog amaro so powerfully laced with pungent botanicals that grimacing attempts at describing its flavor have dotted everything from standup comedy routines to the YouTube commentary of disbelieving wine tasters. While such a caustic reputation might seem like a marketing kiss of death, Fernet Branca has been successfully shocking a steadily expanding core of drinkers for more than 150 years.
First produced in Milan in 1845, Fernet Branca is a member of the broad class of Italian amari, or bitter liqueurs, that also includes Campari, Averna and Aperol. Designed to be consumed as a post-prandial digestivo and renowned for its alleged powers at countering the effects of overindulging at the dinner table, Fernet Branca is flavored with around 40 roots, herbs, spices and other ingredients, including gentian, myrrh, chamomile and saffron. Redolent with the herbaceous aroma of menthol and eucalyptus, Fernet Branca has a bitter complexity that is jarring on first experience, and bracingly alluring with each subsequent encounter.
While many drinkers may first taste Fernet Branca as a late-night dare in a crowded bar, the liqueur has many dedicated fans who adore its firm slap to the palate. Fernet Branca has long been wildly popular in Argentina, where it is often mixed with Coke, and domestically the liqueur has countless fans in the bar and restaurant industry, particularly in San Francisco. Bartenders in that city sometimes refer to a shot of Fernet Branca (often served with a chaser of ginger ale or ginger beer) as a "bartender's handshake," and such is the liqueur's resonance with the local food industry that recently Andrew Mitchell, a bartender at Rickhouse, designed a cocktail made with Fernet Branca and ginger, which he dubbed the Restaurateur.
Tricky to mix with because of its potent character, Fernet Branca contributes an intricate vibrance to classic cocktails, such as the whiskey-based Toronto and the vermouth-laden Appetizer à l'Italienne, as well as to contemporary drinks, such as the earthy Villa de Verano, created by Boston bartender Misty Kalkofen, and the classically styled Fernet Alexander, served at Anvil in Houston. The liqueur works best with other complex-flavored ingredients, such as vermouth or gin, though the crisp flavor of rye whiskey and tequila also prove good matches. While the flavor of Fernet Branca can take some getting used to, when mixed in a cocktail, the liqueur performs an essential task. "It's like cooking with a really powerful ingredient like garlic," says bartender Erick Castro of the Restaurateur. "Without Fernet Branca, the drink is nowhere near as dynamic."

MADISON, Wis. (AP) – The state Assembly plans to take up Republicans' contentious mining bill on March 7.
Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Burlington Republican, told reporters during a news conference Thursday GOP leaders expect to begin debate that morning and spend most of the day on the bill.
Republicans control the chamber, making passage all but certain. Approval would send the bill on to Gov. Scott Walker for his signature. The Senate narrowly passed the bill after a nearly nine-hour debate Wednesday evening.
The bill is designed to clear the regulatory path for a huge open-pit iron mine just south of Lake Superior. Republicans say the mine would create hundreds of jobs for the economically depressed region. Democrats and conservationists maintain the bill will relax environmental protections and lead to devastating pollution.

A CEO's Guide to Talent Management Today
All the tech in the world is meaningless without the talent to put it to use.
Most efforts at developing leaders and talent fail, yet the need for exceptional leadership at all levels has never been clearer. It is only by tightly linking leadership and talent development to value creation that companies drive sustainable superior business performance.
Today's business context—marked by globalization, more and varied stakeholders, and economic, political, and social instability—presents unprecedented complexity. The need for strong leadership and talent has never been greater than it is today, driving the need to focus on:
Yet most organizations lack this focus, making the problem both ongoing and systemic. In an annual global survey conducted over the last eight years, "managing talent" and "improving leadership development" have consistently remained in the red zone of future importance and low current capability.
To address these challenges, companies are investing in suboptimal leadership development and talent programs. The programs often focus on certifications versus learning. They take place outside of day-to-day business, are disconnected from companies' strategic business priorities, and often are not harmonized with one another or with companies' talent systems. This approach is both resource-intensive and value-draining—and leaves companies no better able to achieve strategic business objectives.
The key to sustainable business performance is a tight linkage between capability-building and value creation. Either done in isolation of the other leads to inferior, unsustainable outcomes. Together and tightly integrated with value creation, leadership and talent development can be an engine by which companies consistently outperform against objectives—and competitors.
Companies that are able to effectively link value creation with capability building and talent development gain significant tangible value.
All the tech in the world is meaningless without the talent to put it to use.
Digital might sometimes seem like an enemy in the workplace, but you can make it an ally as you build an enterprise-wide learning ecosystem.
To promote agile ways of working, leaders must change their own behaviors.

MWC 15 Special
Google introduced
Google Sync for Mobile earlier this year, Google turned on Gmail Contacts
and Calendar sync only. However, today Google also activated Gmail for Google
Sync. Using the Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync protocol, Google Sync, now allows
to get Gmail messages pushed directly to a mobile phone. Having an over-the-air,
always-on connection means that device's inbox is always up to date. Sync works
with most phone's native E-Mail applications which support Exchange ActiveSync
(for instance Windows Mobile) so there's no additional software needed. For
sure, Google Sync for Mobile still allows to sync just Contacts, Calendar or
Gmail or any combination of the three.
To try Google Sync, visit m.google.com/sync from your computer. Please note
that Google Sync is still not supported on PCs/Outlook but it's a mobile service
Cheers ~ Arne

DOJ Unconcerned About The Constitution, Obtained AP Reporters' Phone Records
from the freedom-of-the-press?-ha!-what's-that? deptWe've talked quite a bit about how the federal government has been pretty aggressively shattering any remnants of the 4th amendment, and while there are some parts of the 1st amendment that are still respected, our government doesn't always seem so keen on that one either. Apparently, they've decided to kill two birds with one stone recently, in obtaining a broad collection of phone records concerning Associated Press journalists, which is almost certainly in violation of the law. The AP only just found out about this on Friday, despite the data already being obtained, and covering more than 20 separate phone lines (including work, home and mobile phones) for multiple AP journalists -- and a period covering approximately two months in early 2012. The AP has sent a quite reasonably angry letter to Attorney General Holder about this collection.
There can be no possible justification for such an overbroad collection of the telephone communications of The Associated Press and its reporters. These records potentially reveal communications with confidential sources across all of the newsgathering activities undertaken by the AP during a two-month period, provide a road map to AP's newsgathering operations, and disclose information about AP's activities and operations that the government has no conceivable right to know.The AP also (again, quite reasonably) notes that this appears to be a "serious interference with AP's constitutional rights to gather and report the news" and demand that the government destroy all copies of the data it received.
That the Department undertook this unprecedented step without providing any notice to the AP, and without taking any steps to narrow the scope of its subpoenas to matters actually relevant to an ongoing investigation, is particularly troubling.
The sheer volume of records obtained, most of which can have no plausible connection to any ongoing investigation, indicates, at a minimum, that this effort did not comply with 28 C.F.R. §50.10 and should therefore never have been undertaken in the first place. The regulations require that, in all cases and without exception, a subpoena for a reporter's telephone toll records must be "as narrowly drawn as possible.'' This plainly did not happen
This really is an incredibly broad move by the government. Especially when it comes to reporters, the government has generally respected the right for reporters to keep their sources private, even if this administration has been known to threaten reporters if they won't reveal sources. In case you're wondering the law here is pretty clear about the limitations on getting this kind of info.
There should be reasonable ground to believe that a crime has been committed and that the information sought is essential to the successful investigation of that crime. The subpoena should be as narrowly drawn as possible; it should be directed at relevant information regarding a limited subject matter and should cover a reasonably limited time period. In addition, prior to seeking the Attorney General's authorization, the government should have pursued all reasonable alternative investigation steps as required by paragraph (b) of this section.I'm sure that Eric Holder will try to tapdance around this one as well, but the claims here are very serious. On the positive side, perhaps this will finally help the press wake up to the continued expansion of the federal government's surveillance operations and their general disdain for the constitution if it helps them go after whoever they want. The press likes to go nuts when some startup accidentally leaks some data or tracks what people are doing online, but routinely ignores how the government seems to feel entitled to any bit of private data about anyone, often without a warrant. Perhaps having the press have their records taken will wake some of them up to the fact that it impacts them as well (perhaps even more than others).

How do you get the familiarity hearts up? From feeding them?
The most important part of the food is getting the familiarity hearts up so you can gain an extra skill slot. Honestly the starting familiars work pretty well. I kept mine in the active party and still use Mitey even though I'm at the end of the game.
On the treats note, I actually found I easily maintained a surplus of treats without really even trying. They certainly are not hard to come by, so I wouldn't be too frugal with them.
All of this meshed well together for me as there were quite a few creatures I liked and wanted to develop simply because they were charming and adorable, albeit useless in contrast to some of my other more battle worthy pets....
Just started playing this game... it's really great. VERY Dragon Quest VIII. I've never heard anyone mention any similarity to DQVIII, but it's immediately obvious. Must have been done by the same team. Even Jo Haishi's music sounds extremely Dragon-Questy. Anyway, I loved DQVIII so this comes as a huge compliment. The cell shaded graphic style, the goofy villains with weird ways of talking, the lush over world, and all the billions of fun British accents.Only slight criticism is that Oliver is not a believable american, you can hear his english accent poke through all the time. Reminds me of Peri from old Doctor Who... the American who wasn't. Not a problem. I just wish they hadn't tried to make him American, it gets in the way a bit.Oh, definitely some Earthbound feel as well.
HelloI felt kind of stupid last night, I had exchanged a few cards for those initial merit boosts and was saving my cards for later, thinking that the other ones opened up as the game progressed...Well little did I know that you had to buy everything in the tier one line for the next teir 2 line to open up lol..Anyway just thought I would mention this in case somebody else did this.
Heh, I was somewhat in the same boat until I decided to test the idea if that's what it took.On a related note, I'm doing post-game content and trying to get the trophy for unlocking all the merit awards. It's just not worth it. So much grinding it's ridiculous. The alchemy quest is by far the worst and I ran around for 20-30 minutes and fought 3-4 of the required enemy, but never was able to steal the correct item. It's just bad luck, but annoying none the less.I think I may do the conductor quests since it leads to a gold and leave it at that.
I'd just take a night to finish it and forget about the post-game stuff. It does expand upon Horace a bit and a certain Wizard but if you have a backlog I think time is better served elsewhere unless you really want the trophies.Oddly enough, I'm about to start up P2:IS as well.

Title: HARRY POTTER AUTHOR USES IMAGERY FROM THE MOST IMPORTANT ALCHEMY BOOK IN EXISTENCE, A BOOK WRITTEN IN 1459!
The New World Order is coming! Are you ready? Once you understand what this New World Order really is, and how it is being gradually implemented, you will be able to see it progressing in your daily news!!
Learn how to protect yourself, your loved ones!
Stand by for insights so startling you will never look at the news the same way again.
We have stated repeatedly that the author of the Harry Potter books knows her Satanism quite well. We have repeatedly pointed out where the events and the scenes in her books are pure Satanism; in fact, they are correct Satanism. She paints a perfectly correct picture in her books of aspects of Satanism, she gets the spells right, she gets the ingredients right, she understands the importance of drugs, and so on and so forth.
In NEWS1485, we show you that Rowling uses the precise vivid colors that are sacred to the Druid religion and to the Zodiac. We quoted former Satanist -- now Born Again -- author, Cisco Wheeler, as she stated that these sacred colors are used in Ritual Magick When a child allows themselves to be caught up in childlike enthusiasm for the storyline generally, and the vivid colors specifically, they set themselves up for suddenly being contacted by a Spirit Guide one day! Rowling uses these vivid colors right well!
Likewise, Rowling seems to draw her inspiration for several other unique aspects of her novels from a very old, and very obscure, Luciferian book entitled, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosendreutz , written originally in 1459 and translated into English in 1690. This book is the key foundational legend for the Luciferian secret society, the Rosicrucians. Listen to a Rosicrucian explain the key importance of this book to the practicing occultist.
"The 'Chemical Wedding' is one of the
archetypal symbols of the Alchemical transformation. There is much work
about this subject by many later mystics and authors. Manly Hall devoted
an entire chapter
to this book in 'Secret Teachings of All Ages' ... The 'Chemical Wedding/Marriage' is the basis for initiation rituals created by the Rosicrucians. It represents the union of the person, the spirit and society." [Philosophical Research Society, Publications Department]
Wonderful! This book is the basis for initiation rituals for the Rosicrucians. Once again, Rowling's true nature is demonstrated for all to see. Despite her repeated denials that she is actively involved in Witchcraft, we see that, in addition to displaying detailed and intimate knowledge of Satanism, she now is demonstrating intimate knowledge of a very old, very obscure book that is used as the basis of initiating people into Rosicrucianism.
Before we get into the details of this story, let us examine what Alchemy is, and why it is important to the practicing Satanist. The New Age Dictionary defines Alchemy as a "quest for the secrets of life by the transmutation of base metals into gold in the West; by discovering the Elixir of Life in the East."
In the book entitled, "The Secret Doctrine of the Rosicrucians", written in 1949 under a pseudonym, the author reveals that the primary purpose of Alchemy is not to get rich by discovering how to change lead into gold; rather, the primary purpose is mental and spiritual. He uses the terms "Mental Alchemy" and "Spiritual Alchemy" [The Secret Doctrine of Rosicrucians , Page 20]
This author also states that alchemical references to "sulphur", "mercury", and "other chemical elements" leads one to the search for the Philosopher's Stone [Page 16], which is also known as the Sorcerer's Stone. This latter revelation is exceedingly important, because Rowling's second book was called "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". In this book, a quest is begun to discover the Sorcerer's Stone, out of which comes the "Elixir of Life". In Chapter 13 of the Potter book, "Sorcerer's Stone", we learn that Professor Dumbledore -- Headmaster of Hogwart's School of Wizardry and Witchcraft -- had a long term relationship with another sorcerer, Nicolas Flamel, who had perfected the Elixir of Life through the process of Alchemy [Sorcerer's Stone, Page 219]. Thus, Flamel had achieved the Sorcerer's Stone, and is depicted as having original possession of it Then, in the next few paragraphs, we learn that this Sorcerer's Stone possessed by Flamel produced the Elixir of Life, the drinking of which would "make the drinker immortal" [The Sorcerer's Stone , Page 220].
Finally, we learn that Flamel was 666 years old when he achieved the Sorcerer's Stone and had first partaken of the Elixir of Life! [Ibid.] Thus, Rowling correctly ties in the number of Antichrist with Alchemy and its pursuit of occult eternal life, a very strong indication that she is a practitioner of the Luciferian arts.
Now, let us see what types of things Rowling included in her Harry Potter novels that come straight out of this most obscure Rosicrucian book, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosendreutz.
1. Pictures on the wall that move as if they are alive
Harry Potter books -- in all Potter books -- the portraits hanging on the walls move as if they are alive. "He was too sleepy even to be surprised that the people in the portraits along the corridors whispered and pointed as they passed ..." [The Sorcerer's Stone , p. 128]
"The castle was quiet ... they walked past muttering portraits and creaking suits of armor ..." [The Chamber of Secrets , p. 83]
Thus, the portraits on the walls of the castle in which Hogwart's School of Wizardry and Witchcraft was located were animated as if they were alive. They moved around the portraits, and they spoke with one another. In the above segment, the suits of armor were creaking because the people in the painting were moving!
Further, each of the four fraternity houses on campus had only one door that led into the house, and it was guarded by a talking portraits. Each student had to give the person in the portrait the password for that day in order to get into the fraternity house. "They didn't stop running until they reached the portrait of the Fat Lady on the seventh floor ... 'pig snout, pig snout', panted Harry, and the portrait swung forward. They scrambled into the common room and collapsed, trembling, into armchairs." [The Sorcerer's Stone , p. 161]
"... at last they reached the passage where the secret entrance to Gryffindor Tower was hidden, behind an oil painting of a very fat woman in a pink silk dress. 'Password?', she said as they approached. 'Er ---', said Harry. They didn't know the new year's password ... almost immediately, they heard hurrying feet behind them and turned to see Hermione dashing toward them ... 'Skip the lecture', said Ron impatiently, 'and tell us the new password'. 'It's wattlebird', said Hermione ... the portrait of the fat lady swung open ..." [The Chamber of Secrets , p. 83-84]
When I originally read this little detail of the Potter books, I was mildly amused, for I thought such a creation was a delightful bit of imagination. Never did it enter my mind that talking and moving portraits on a wall might have its roots deep in Satanic soil. Now, let us examine that soil.
In the book, The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosendreutz , written in 1459, we find the Rosicrucian hero, Christian Rosendreutz, in the fabulous castle of the King and Queen of the Super Celestial Sphere. This castle was called the "House of the Sun". I find it very instructive that the castle might have this name since Rosicrucianism worships the Sun and its consort, the Moon.
Little does Christian realize that the reason he has been invited to this castle was to personally witness the reincarnation of six lesser kings and their wives through the process of Alchemy.
As Christian is walking down the corridors of this heavenly castle, he noticed something really strange on the walls. "... there were up and down the room wonderful images, which moved themselves, as if they had been alive ..." [Page 29]
Now, I understood from whence Rowling had gotten her idea of talking and moving portraits! She pulled this detail from a book that was now over 500 years old! The only people who read this type of book are the initiates and adepts of Luciferian secret societies, or people studying the same. Rowling clearly is so familiar with secret society secrets, I find it highly likely that she is a member of such a Luciferian society.
2. The Fabulous Beast In The Harry Potter book -- PRISONER OF AZKABAN
In this third Harry Potter book, Harry, Ron, and Hermione, are introduced to a class called "The Care of Magical Creatures". The instructor was a huge giant named Hagrid. Even though the creatures in this class were strong, dangerous, and unpredictable, Hagrid loves them dearly, and tries to get his students to appreciate them as well.
One of Hagrid's creatures is an unusual combination of animals. This creature "had the bodies, hind legs, and tails of horses, but the front legs, wings, and heads of what seemed to be giant eagles, with cruel, steel-colored beaks and large, brilliantly orange eyes. The talons on their front legs were half a foot long and deadly looking." [The Prisoner of Azkaban, p. 114]
So, the head, front legs, and wings of this creature were that of a giant eagle; but, the rest of the animal was a horse. This combination creature was called a "Hippogriff". Hagrid told the students about this animal. "Now, firs' thing yeh gotta know abou' hippogriffs is, they're proud ... Easily offended, hippogriffs are. Don't ever insult one, 'cause it might be the last thing yeh do ... Yeh always wait fer the hippogriff ter make the firs' move ... It's polite, see? Yeh walk toward him and yeh bow, an' yeh wait. If he bows back, yeh're allowed ter touch him. If he doesn't bow, then get away from him sharpish, 'cause those talons hurt." [Page 114-115, Prisoner of Azkaban]
Harry and his friends take a liking to the hippogriff, whose name was Buckbeak, and at the end of the book, the hippogriff saves Harry and his friends from Voldemort by letting them ride on his back as he flew them to safety.
In The Chemical Wedding of Christian Rosendreutz , Christian witnesses a very unusual battle in the castle between two creatures. "In the interlude, a lyon and griffon were set at one another, to fight, and the lyon got the victory, which was also a pretty sight." [Page 31; Spelling retained from the original]
My Tormont's Illustrated Dictionary defines a Griffon as a "fabulous beast with the head and wings of an eagle and the body of a lion."
Rowling created her fabulous creature with the head and wings of an eagle all right, but substituted the body of a horse instead of the traditional lion's body. But, just to make sure that "those in the know" understood that she had taken her inspiration from The Chemical Wedding , Rowling called her fabulous creature a "Hippogriff", undoubtedly taking it from the name, "Griffon", in the original story.
Once again, Rowling displays a unique knowledge of very ancient, and critically important, Luciferian legend as she draws from this Rosicrucian legend inspiration for her Harry Potter books.
3. The playful spirit that hovers over the castle playing tricks he thinks humorous
In the Harry Potter books, Rowling has invented a "playful" spirit creature she calls Peeves the Poltergeist! Peeves loves to flit around the school classrooms and dormitories of Hogwart's School, playing tricks and pranks that he feels is "funny". Getting students into trouble is also Peeves' role in these novels. Listen to some of the dialog:
"But as [Professor] Filch lowered his quill, there was a great BANG! on the ceiling of the office, which made the oil lamp rattle. 'PEEVES!' Filch roared, flinging down his quill in a transport of rage. 'I'll have you this time, I'll have you!' Peeves was the school poltergeist, a grinning, airborne menace, who lived to cause havoc and distress. Harry didn't much like Peeves ..." [Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets , p. 126]
In The Sorcerer's Stone , Harry, Ron, and Hermione were sneaking around the Charms Classroom area in the middle of the night seeking to duel Malfoy in a Wizard's Duel. Suddenly, Peeves spotted them, and realized they were breaking a whole lot of school rules by just being in the corridor. The action picks up:
"They hadn't gone more than a dozen paces when a doorknob rattled and something came shooting out of a classroom in front of them. It was Peeves. He caught sight of them and gave a squeal of delight. 'Shut up, Peeves -- please -- you'll get us thrown out.' Peeves cackled. 'Wandering around at midnight, Ickle Firsties? Tut, tut, tut. Naughty, naughty, you'll get caughty'. 'Not if you don't give us away, Peeves, please'. 'Should I tell Filch, I should', said Peeves in a saintly voice, but his eyes glittered wickedly. 'It's for your own good, you know'. 'Get out of the way', snapped Ron, taking a swipe at Peeves -- that was a big mistake. 'STUDENTS OUT OF BED', Peeves bellowed. 'STUDENTS OUT OF BED DOWN THE CHARMS CORRIDOR'." [p. 159; Emphasis was in the original]
In the Rosicrucian book, The Chemical Wedding , Christian saw this exact type of spirit flitting around the King and Queen's House of the Sun. "... we were to attend the Royal Persons up the winding stairs into the forementioned hall, where the tables were already richly furnished, and this was the first time that we were invited to the Kings table. The little altar was placed in the midst of the hall, and the six fore-named royal ensignes were laid upon it. At this time the young King behaved himself very gratiously towards us, but yet he could not be heartily merry; but howbeit he now and then discoursed a little with us, yet he often sighed, at which the Little Cupid only mocked and playd his waggish tricks ... Almost all the prattle at this banquet was made by Little Cupid, who could not leave us (and me indeed especially) untormented. He was perpetually producing some strange matter." [P. 33; spelling left as is in the original; "Waggish tricks" is defined by the dictionary as "playfully humorous".]
So, Rowling took her Peeves the Poltergeist who loved to torment students and faculty alike from the Little Cupid spirit tormentor in The Chemical Wedding !
4. Mythical Creatures Identical in Harry Potter and The Chemical Wedding
In The Sorcerer's Stone, Rowling features "bright-white" unicorns living in the Forbidden Forest. In the latter chapters, Hagrid takes Ron, Herminone, Harry and Malfoy into the Forbidden Forest to try to discover who is killing these unicorns. Let us pick up the action:
"Harry thought the blood seemed to be getting thicker. There were splashes on the roots of a tree, as though the poor creature had been thrashing around in pain close by. Harry could see a clearing ahead, through the tangled branches of an ancient oak. 'Look', he murmured, holding out his arm to stop Malfoy. Something bright white was gleaming on the ground ... It was the unicorn all right, and it was dead. Harry had never seen anything so beautiful and sad. Its long, slender legs were stuck out at odd angles where it had fallen and its mane was spread pearly-white on the dark leaves." [The Sorcerer's Stone , p. 255-256]
In The Chemical Wedding , Christian Rosendreutz describes the scene in the garden in which he saw the unicorn for the first time. "Thus the garden which so lately was quite full, was soon emptied; so that besides the souldiers there was not a man left. Now as soon as this was done, and silence had been kept for the space of five minutes, there came forward a beautiful snow-white unicorn with a golden coller (having in it certain letters) about his neck ... and so the unicorn returned to his place with joy." [Page 20-21; spelling is printed here as in the original]
In The Chamber of Secrets, Rowling gives a prominent place to the mythical, legendary Phoenix Bird. In the battle of The Chamber of Secrets , Harry is saved only by the intervention of Dumbledore's Phoenix Bird, Fawkes. The Phoenix Bird attacked the serpent's eyes, putting both of them out, causing blood to splatter far and wide. But, this heroic action allowed Harry to escape, and eventually defeat the snake. [Pages 318-320] Then, the Phoenix Bird visually motioned to Harry to grab hold of his tail feathers, and let him pull him out. So, Harry grabbed hold of the tail feathers of the Phoenix, and Ron grabbed hold of Harry's robes, and the bird miraculously pulled the two of them out of the Chamber of Secrets to safety. [Pages 324-325]
In The Chemical Wedding , Christian sees a "glorious Phoenix" in the Castle of the Sun [P. 21]
Further, on the Sixth Day -- out of Seven -- Christian Rosendreutz and other adepts watched a sacred egg open up and a bird come out. At first, this bird was weak and bloody, and then he molted to a black color after drinking human blood, and then he molted into a snowy-white color, and then into a beautiful array of various colors. His demeanor also changed during these physical transformations from wild to tame.
Then, the adepts put the bird into a bath of milk-white liquid. This bath took off all his feathers, so the adepts painted him a bright blue color. The Adepts took this bird up to the upper floor, where the bird was placed near an altar and given a good drink. Suddenly, the bird attacked the white serpent who had been living in the death head, making the serpent bleed profusely. [P. 44-45]
I wonder if Rowling did not meld these two story lines together, for the Phoenix Bird did attack the monstrous green serpent in The Chamber of Secrets , making him bleed profusely as she blinded his eyes.
5. Both Castles were bounded by huge lakes capable of carrying large ships
Rowling created the Hogwart's School of Wizardry and Witchcraft so that a large lake bounded by the school. Rumors circulated about the existence of a large sea monster living within the lake. In The Goblet of Fire , a large ship carrying the Wizard Masters of the occult training school, Durmstrang, to Hogwart's to attend the Triwizard Tournament of Champions. A huge ship carrying the Durmstrang students came out of the deep waters of the lake to moor next to Hogwart's. [P. 244-247]
In The Chemical Wedding , the House of the Sun is also bounded by a huge lake. After the six lesser Kings and their Queens are beheaded in a ritual, night falls, and Christian Rosendreutz falls asleep in his bed. Suddenly, he is awakened by a very bright light, and springs to the window to investigate. He sees six ships coming to dock at the castle, floating on the lake. The coffins of each King and Queen were loaded, one set of coffins per ship. Then, the ships departed for Mt. Olympus, where they were returned to life according to the precepts of Alchemy. [p. 34]
Thus, in three out of the five points of commonality between Harry Potter books and The Chemical Wedding , Rowling has chosen unique and very old occult legends to use in her books. Especially choosing the pictures on the wall that seem alive and the Griffon-type creature called a Hippogriff are dead giveaways that Rowling drew her inspiration from this very old, but very important, Alchemical book of the Rosicrucians.
Just as she used the vivid colors sacred to obscure and nearly-forgotten Celtic Tree Calendar [NEWS1485], Rowling has used very distinctive parts of an equally obscure and nearly-forgotten book of Alchemy to insert into her novels. Rowling knows her Witchcraft thoroughly and correctly, and now we see she has probably taken her inspiration for certain elements of her books from obscure Satanism, the kind only a practicing Adept in the occult would know.
No matter which way you choose to look at the storyline of Harry Potter, you can see the same pattern emerging loudly and clearly: Rowling weaves strong, correct Satanism in her storyline, the kind of Satanism only a practicing Adept would likely know. She has become the Pied Piper of today's young children, and is leading them straight into the arms of the Wicked One.
Truly, Jesus was correct when He foretold that the spiritual love for Him and His truth would be so watered down at the End of the Age that very few people would actually be saved and practicing The Faith. Your children are under attack by Harry Potter books. Are you ready to battle your kids for their own soul?
Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.
If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.
If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.
If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.
We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.
Finally, we would love to hear from you.

Communal Satellite Systems Bury
Communal Satellite Systems are planned out and installed in a completely different way to a residential/domestic aerial or satellite system. Our senior engineer at TV Aerials Bury has over 20 years of experience within the communal systems industry. One aerial is to be able to be service by 10's, 100's or 1000's of people on the same communal system, all with perfect pictures, acting as their own aerial, it simply needs to be matched up, balanced and made safe.
When planning an IRS system and designing the aerial and satellite system you must ensure that the system is built with the ability to receive digital SKYQ, CCTV and European and Asian TV Channels. With most TV aerial transmitters in Bury eventually being switched over to SKYQ digital (some have already gone Q digital) then it is important to future proof communal systems, therefore you MUST make allowances for this in any design.

Sound Bar Installation Bury
What is a Soundbar? This is one of the most common questions that TV Aerials Bury is often asked. A sound bar is the easiest way to improve your TV sound without adding a full 5.1 surround sound cinema system. A soundbar provides an excellent alternative to a home cinema system as many properties dont have the space for them.
Soundbars are also extremely easy to set-up and can be configured with pretty much any Modern Flat Screen TV on the market. With wireless sub woofers, wireless Bluetooth music streaming, Network Access, HDMI & Optical connections, there's a something for everyone.
Modern TV's now use flat-panel technology which allows the enclosure of the TV to be incredibly thin compared to the old 'tube' TV's of yesterday. From their stylish looks and room friendliness, Flat screen TV's are a huge improvement with just one drawback…….They have poor sound quality!
By adding a Soundbar, or add-on speaker system, you can dramatically increase the quality of your sound to a degree where it is equally as good as the TV picture quality itself. To upgrade the TV at any time, simply keep your sound bar and use it with your new TV, the correct audio outputs are required, these are now standard on all modern televisions.

Good afternoon I've just moved into a new build and I wanted my free-sat setting up. Gary and John installed me a dish and sorted it all for me. Dead nice blokes, really helpful, couldn't do enough for me. Suited with the job cheers lads i'd definately ring again if I need you
I wanted my free-sat extending into my conservatory, I was advised to use a magic eye. I rang ADI and they came and set up the eye and I can now watch my free-sat in either room, thanks guys fantastic job and I will recommend you to family and friends
I booked for the engineers to attend and fit an extension into my sons bedroom. They arrived first thing, as requested and completed the extension within the hour. They tuned the television in and made sure it was all set up properly. Couldn't ask for more, fantastic lads Thank You
Thanks for installing my new phone line extension, great work, competitive price, and i would certainly use you again 5 star Cheers

Note: I originally wrote this as a guest piece for the awesome BikingInLA blog. Seeing a video posted over on Cyclelicious reminded me a lot of the sentiment of this post, so I decided to share it again.
There are many of us so-called avid cyclists that are big on participating in, but also promoting cycling. I'm one of those folks. For me, this is partially self-serving. The more folks that we have out on the road riding their bikes, the more accustomed to bikes on the road motorists will be. Makes it safer for all of us overall. Socially I think it is a win. The oft-cited benefits to health and the environment seem like obviously beneficial gains to me as well. That, and the natural human compulsion to want other folks to enjoy what I enjoy.
For some, it is about fostering a "bike culture." A culture where going to the grocery store, or tootling down to the local cafe, or getting the kids to soccer practice, are all things that are perfectly reasonable to do on a bike. A culture where riding a bike in the rain to get to work doesn't make you extreme, eccentric or even on the fringe. A culture where riding a bike is normal. As normal as driving a car.
And now we have a conundrum.
You see, the ultimate success in striving towards a bike culture, is that you get no bike culture.
There are many of us that live outside of Copenhagen or Amsterdam and idealize what it must be like there. We lament our horrible cycling situation, and lust after their cycling culture. We drool over percentages of daily travels done by bike.
But ask them about their bike culture and you may be suprised by the response: "What? We don't have a bike culture, silly!"
That is because they have achieved the goal, and cycling is an average part of every day life. They don't go to the store on their bike, they simply go to the store. There are no velocommutes, there's just a bunch of folks going to work.
Us crazy Americans often hear tale that we live in a "car culture." But in a lot of ways that is not true either. Sure, we've had a fascination with cars for some time. But just like the guy on the bike in Copenhagen pedaling to work isn't being part of a bike culture, the mom driving the kids to soccer practice in an ordinary sedan isn't a part of car culture.
So perhaps a better way to look at this is: the goal of achieving "bike culture" isn't to make it a cultural movement, or even to make it so common it is overlooked. Rather, we should strive to make it special in a different way. We want the woman pedaling in the rain on Monday morning to be a non-noteworthy item, as we look forward to celebrating our bike culture on Saturday with a local bike race and vintage bike show.
If we do that, my fellow bikey folks… well, then we will have something.

Will you join me in the REALLY FUN give-away and help this family bring their little girl home from Ethiopia? You can see the full details and purchase your 10.00 entry here:
See all these shirts and the beautiful pendant?
Well...they can be yours. ALL OF THEM !!
So this is how this puppy works...
You enter into the give away and you choose how many times 1, 2 or 3. It's easy!
One entry is only 10.00 and if you are quicker than me you have already done the math and figured that is less than a dollar a shirt. Yeah, really.
To sweeten this a bit more, you can have two entries for 15.00.
Really, really want this ensemble of shirts? (Me, too!) Receive a third entry by blogging, tweeting or facebooking about it. They will even send you the wording so you can just repost. Not on their facebook? You can fb friend them by clicking on the fb badge on the left side bar of the blog.
So just head on over to http://www.embracingthelea
Seriously, lets blow the socks off this family and bless them. We are ALL in this together...and helping one another
