- Form of address
- Name
- Address
- Telephone number
- e-mail address
- Payment information
- Type of shipping
- IP address
Your data are transferred to the shipping company in charge of the delivery, in so far as this is necessary for delivery of the goods. For transacting payments, we transfer your payment data to the financial institution entrusted with the payment. That company may only use your data for contract settlement and not for other purposes.
When you make a purchase on our website and therefore store your e-mail address, this address can be used by us to send you information on similar products or services. We are keen to maintain customer relations and we would like to send you information that we believe may be of interest to you.
If you need to interrupt the ordering process or cannot complete the purchase, we will send an e-mail to remind you of the items placed in your basket so that you can complete the process at a later date without having to collect all the items again. To do this, we use cookies. More information on using cookies can be found in section 7 ('Using cookies').
B. Legal basis
When processing your personal data (cf. section 4 3. a.) that are required for fulfilling a purchase agreement concluded with us, Art. 6, paragraph 1, (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies for processing procedures that are required for carrying out pre-contractual measures.
The legal basis for sending information on similar goods or services as a result of the purchase of goods is section 7 paragraph 3 UWG [Act against unfair competition]. You can choose to stop receiving messages at any time by using the unsubscribe link at the end of the newsletter.
C. Storage duration
With complete settlement of the agreement and complete purchase price payment, your data are stored for further use and erased after expiry of the legal tax and commercial law retention periods, if you have not expressly agreed to the further use of your data. Further storage can take place in individual cases, if this is legally stipulated.
A. Type and scope of the data processing
When purchasing goods, you have the option of paying with your credit card. To guarantee enhanced security during payment processing, we now use the 3D Secure 2.0 protocol. With every transaction, data is transmitted to your credit card company. They can use this data to carry out a real-time risk assessment to identify you as the legitimate owner of the credit card. In order to process the credit card payment, we use the service provider Computop. Computop are contractually obliged to observe an appropriate standard of data protection – we have ensured this by means of an order processing contract. Your data will only be transferred to this service provider and will not be passed on to third parties.
When you pay with credit card, we collect the following data:
- Your credit card details.
- Transaction-related data, such as identification numbers required to assign transactions and merchants, as well as the purchase amount and currency.
- Browser data including information on the end device used and the location of the user. This includes IP address, screen resolution, and the browser language setting.
- The complete billing and delivery address of the order.
- Customer account data recorded from and about the customer's existing account. This includes – but is not limited to – information about how long the account has existed, the number of transactions carried out within certain time intervals, and the frequency with which passwords and delivery addresses have been changed.
- Data on delivery details, such as shipping method, availability of the goods, the delivery time window, the email address (in the case of a shipment of digital goods) or the date of initial availability for products not yet published.
This data is collected by us solely to let credit card companies perform real-time risk assessments. If a transaction is classified as low-risk, you can authorise it directly, without the need for any further actions. However, if there is a suspicion of fraud, you will be asked to confirm your identity again by answering an additional security question. Data is processed in this way for two reasons. Firstly, to meet Strong Customer Authentication (SCA) protocol – guaranteeing better (and legally required) protection against fraud. And secondly, to simplify the purchase process.
B. Legal basis
The legal basis for this data processing is Article 6 (1), (C) and (F) of the General Data Protection Regulation. A legal obligation for data processing arises here from the EU Payment Services Directive (Directive (EU) 2015/2366), which requires Strong Customer Authentication. One way of fulfilling this obligation is to use the 3D Secure 2.0 process. In addition, we have a 'legitimate interest' in the form of an economic interest – the reduction of the purchase termination rate and the simplification of the ordering process. By means of case-by-case, data-based risk assessment, transactions can in most cases be released directly and without further buyer interaction, resulting in an improvement of the user experience.
C. Storage duration
With complete settlement of the agreement and complete purchase price payment, your data are stored for further use and erased after expiry of the legal tax and commercial law retention periods, if you have not expressly agreed to the further use of your data. Further storage can take place in individual cases, if this is legally stipulated.
A. Type and scope of the data processing
As part of the purchase of goods, we offer you the option of processing the purchase of goods via a payment services provider. The payment services provider used by us is BNP Paribas (for Germany, BNP Paribas S. A Branch Germany, Schwanthalerstrasse 31, 80336 Munich and for Austria, BNP Paribas Personal Finance S.A. Austria Branch, Ringstraßen-Galerien, Kärntner Ring 5-7, 4th Floor, 1010 Vienna).

B. Legal basis
The legal basis for the processing of the above personal data (cf. Section 4 3.3. a.) is Article 6 (1)(b) GDBR, as this processing is necessary for the performance of the contract.
C. Storage duration
With complete settlement of the agreement and complete purchase price payment, your data is stored for further use and erased after expiry of the legal tax and commercial law retention periods, if you have not expressly agreed to the further use of your data.

This site uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA ('Google'). Google Analytics uses so-called 'cookies', text files, which are stored on their computer, and which enable an analysis of your use of the website.
The information generated by these cookies, for example concerning time, place, and frequency of your use of this website, are as a rule transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. In using Google Analytics, it is not excluded that the cookies set by Google Analytics can also record additional personal data in addition to the IP address. We point out to you that Google possibly will transmit this information to third parties, if this is legally stipulated or insofar as third parties process these data on behalf of Google.
The information generated by cookies is used by Google on behalf of the operator of this website in order to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports concerning the website activities, and to furnish the website operator with further data services connected with the website use and the internet use. The IP address transmitted from your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not transmitted by Google, according to Google's own information, along with the other data from Google.
You can generally block storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we inform you that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in their full scope.
It is not excluded that the cookies set by Google Analytics can record additional personal data in addition to the IP address. In order to prevent information concerning your use of the website from being recorded by Google Analytics and transmitted to Google Analytics, you can download and install a plug-in for your browser under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
This plug-in prevents information concerning your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Another analysis is not prevented by this plug-in.
We inform you that you cannot use the browser plug-in described above in case of a visit to our website via the browser of a mobile device (smartphone or tablet).
By clicking on this link, a so-called opt-out cookie is set in your browser. This prevents information concerning your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Please note that the opt-out cookie is valid only for this browser and only for this domain. If you erase the cookies in this browser, the opt-out cookie also is erased. Furthermore, in order to prevent the recording by Google Analytics, you must click on the link again. The use of the opt-out cookie is also possible as an alternative to the above plug-in in the case of using the browser on your computer.
In order to provide the best possible protection of your personal data, Google Analytics was expanded on this website by the code 'anonymizeIP'. This code causes the last 8 bits of the IP address to be erased and thus your IP address is recorded anonymised (so-called IP masking). In this way, your IP address is basically shortened and thus anonymised by Google already before the transmission within member states of the European Union or in other contracting countries of the Agreement concerning the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transmitted to a server by Google in the USA and shortened there.
We use the 'Google Ads' technology and, in this case, especially the conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA ("Google"). If you click on a display placed by Google, a cookie for the conversion tracking is stored on your PC. The cookies have a validity of 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website, and if the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can detect that you have clicked on a specific display and were passed on to this page. In each case, Google Ads customers obtain another cookie. Thus, it is not possible to track cookies via the websites of Google Ads customers.
The data obtained by means of the conversion cookie serve for creating conversion statistics for Google Ads customers that use the conversion tracking. In this way the customers obtain the number of users that have clicked on their display and thereupon were passed on to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. Of course, they obtain no information, with which the user can be personally identified.
If you do not want to participate in the conversion tracking, you can prevent this by a corresponding setting in your browser, e.g. in a form that will always prevent cookies from being installed. You can also deactivate cookies for the conversion tracking by setting your browser so that only cookies from the web address 'googleadcervices.com' are blocked.
We use the 'Google Remarketing' technology and 'Similar Audiences' function from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA ("Google"). Google Remarketing and the 'Similar Audiences' function places displays for users that have already visited out web pages and online services and have been interested in a specific offer. Within the Google advertising network, it is possible to place targeted and interest-based advertising displays on our page in this way. Google Remarketing and/or 'Similar Audiences' use cookies for this analysis. In this way our visitors can be recognised again as soon as they call up web pages within the Google advertising network. Within the Google advertising network, it is possible to place targeted and interest-based advertising displays that are based on the web pages of the Google advertising network (which also use Google's remarketing function) previously visited by the visitor.
If you do not want to have targeted, interest-based advertising displayed, you can deactivate the use of cookies by Google for these purposes via the link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
We use Hotjar to gain a better understanding of our users' needs and optimise our site.

For an elite athlete, a weekend warrior, or anyone just starting out on a fitness plan, physical activity does increase the risk of injury. (37) Don't let that stop you from becoming more active, though. The health benefits of being active far outweigh any risks.
- Moderate intensity activity is generally very safe for most people, even people who have not previously been active.
- Muscle, joint, and bone problems are the most common injuries caused by exercise.
- In hot weather or during long and intense workouts, dehydration can be a concern.
- In very rare cases, vigorous physical activity may lead to a heart attack or sudden death.
- Active people have a lower risk of serious or fatal heart problems than inactive people.
- If you are sedentary, starting with activities that require a light-to-moderate effort, such as walking, and increasing your activity gradually can be a safe way to get moving.
The Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans 2008 offers these tips for staying safe while being active: (37)
1. Pick activities that match your fitness level.
Choose activities that are moderate in intensity; have less of an impact on your muscles, bones, and joints (for example, walking instead of running); and don't involve planned contact or collisions with other people or objects (for example, tennis or golf instead of volleyball or hockey). Several popular activities have low injury rates:
- Walking for exercise
- Gardening and yard work
- Bicycling or riding an exercise bike
- Dancing
- Swimming
2. Increase activity gradually.
Gradually upping your physical activity over time can help lower your injury risk, regardless of how active you are now. If you're currently sedentary and looking to add more activity to your day, it's especially important to "start low and go slow."
3. Protect yourself.
A few common-sense precautions can help you stay safe:
- Choose the right equipment: If you're cycling, wear a bike helmet. If you're going out for a walk, pull on a well-fitting pair of sneakers instead of a pair of flip flops.
- Find a safe place to work out: Seek out streets that have sidewalks or bicycle lanes. Play basketball on well-maintained courts.
- Pay attention to the weather: In the middle of a heat wave, exercise in the morning when it's cooler out, exercise indoors, or hit the swimming pool instead of the tennis court.
4. Talk to your doctor if you have a chronic condition or if you are pregnant.
Physical activity can help people manage diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, and other chronic conditions, as long as the activities they choose match their fitness level and abilities. If you have one of these conditions or another chronic condition, your doctor can help you come up with an activity plan that's safe for you. Pregnant women should also talk to their health care providers about the safest activity options during pregnancy and after having a baby.
37. Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, U.S.D.o.H.a.H. Services, Editor. 2008.

Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says the three jailed members of the politically radical punk rock band Pussy Riot should have their sentences commuted to time served.
"In my view, a suspended sentence would be sufficient, taking into account the time they have already spent in custody," The Associated Press quoted Medvedev as saying during a televised meeting with members of his United Russia Party.
The band members were convicted last month for staging a prayer sit-in at Moscow's main cathedral to denounce President Vladimir Putin ahead of his successful re-election bid. The three had spent five months in jail awaiting trial before being found guilty of "hooliganism driven by religious hatred."
Medvedev is subordinate to Putin, so it's unclear how much weight his call for the punk rockers' release might carry. The arrest and trial of the women has drawn the ire of international human rights and free-speech advocates.
As a verdict was awaited last month, Putin himself said the women shouldn't be judged too harshly, leading to speculation that they might get only time served.

Our team packs and dispatches each day based on the best timing of delivery service to your state. This way we can ensure your order is in transit for the shortest time possible.
Delivery is normally via Australia Post with larger orders delivered via StarTrack Express* courier. We service virtually all areas of Australia with only those areas not serviced by these organisations being excluded (e.g. remote islands and Territories such as Christmas Island, Lord Howe Island, Norfolk Island, Cocos Islands, Groote Eylandt). We do not deliver outside Australia but happily deliver orders placed from overseas for Australian delivery. Our regular delivery charge for basic items is $12.50 Australia-wide, regardless of the number of items ordered. Due to their higher freight costs, bulky or heavy products such as roses, large pots and a small number of hard goods have higher delivery charges. The summary of all current delivery options is:
- Basic Postage $12.50: Applies to orders NOT containing Roses, 120mm and larger pots/grow-bags, Bare-rooted Trees, Composting Buckets, nor any items with individually specified delivery charges, all delivered at one time, will incur the normal $12.50 freight charge. These items are referred to as "Basic Items".
- Roses & Larger Potted Items $16.90: Applies to orders containing bush Roses, 120mm up to 155mm pot/grow-bags, Composting Buckets, together with other products delivered at the same time will incur a $16.90 freight charge.
- Small Trees & Large Pots $25.50: Applies to orders containing Trixie Fruit Trees, Dwarf Fruit Trees, Lilac Trees, Standard and/or Patio Roses, 160mm up to a 200mm pot/grow-bags, together with other products delivered at the same time will incur a $25.50 freight charge.
- Large Items $35.00: Applies to orders containing Bare-rooted Trees, Bagged Trees, Weeping Roses, Larger items or pots/grow-bags greater than 200mm, together with other products delivered at the same time, will incur a $35.00 freight charge. Remote areas may incur an additional Freight charge but we will notify customers individually if this is the case.
- Orders containing products with explicitly stated delivery charges will incur charges as detailed in the individual product description.
- Order Split Fee: Some items may be delayed due to climatic or growing habits prevent them from being harvested at the time of being offered for purchase. You will be offered a choice to wait until all items on your order are available or to receive what is currently available for an additional freight charge of $5.00.
- We continue to maintain the simplest form of postage costs for the large variety of products we range, however in occasional circumstances of oversized orders and/or delivery location, the cost of freight can significantly impact delivery of an order therefore we reserve the right to refuse the order or contact the customer to discuss freight options and pricing.
Orders containing products from two different seasons (eg Rose or spring bulb pre-orders) that require separate deliveries will incur two delivery charges at the relevant rates (unless a free freight offer applies). A $5.00 Quarantine Inspection Surcharge applies in addition to the Delivery Charge for orders delivered to Tasmania, Northern Territory and Western Australia due to the increased complexity of quarantine requirements.
As quarantine inspections apply to each delivery, 2 quarantine charges will apply where orders contain products from different seasons. *Please note that if you order large items (eg Patio, Standard or Weeping Roses, Fruit Trees) you must specify a street address for the delivery address. StarTrack Express generally do not deliver to PO Boxes or RSD addresses so your order will be held until a suitable address is obtained. In rural areas, StarTrack may deliver to physical addresses such as general stores that act as Australia Post agencies but we suggest you check with them first. Where 'Free Delivery' vouchers apply to an order, details of the voucher should be entered in the "Your message to us" field. Orders (except Pre-orders) are normally despatched within 7-14 working days from the time of ordering during busy periods. Delivery times may be extended during peak periods (typically following the release of the latest catalogue), extended public holidays, if extreme weather conditions are not suitable for live plant transport or as detailed in the product description.
Individual items may be back-ordered to avoid delaying the delivery of other items. Please allow additional delivery time for orders to Tasmania, Northern Territory and Western Australia due to quarantine restrictions.
Please note: Some orders may not be possible to parts of Australia due to quarantine and some items may carry unique delivery charges. Check full delivery policy.

The nervous system controls and coordinates every function of the human body. Therefore, interference with the nervous system will have a broad effect on function of the body. It is your nervous system that allows you to adapt to, and live in your environment.
A large portion of your nervous system passes through your spine. It is your spinal cord that acts as the major cable exiting your brain, travels down inside your spinal column and branches off into spinal nerves at various levels of your spine. These spinal nerves then exit between individual spinal vertebrae and go to the various parts of your body.
To be healthy it is essential that your nervous system function properly and free from any interference caused by subluxations.
Subluxations can cause interference to the nervous system at any point along the spine where the nerves exit. This can adversely affect the function of various parts of your body, and ultimately your health. The information below is designed to give you a look at just some of the relationships between the areas of your spine and your nervous system. Keep in mind that your nervous system is much more complex than can be talked about here.

Creamy Broccoli and Cheddar Soup
From the kitchen of One Perfect Bite...This wonderful soup comes from the dairy farmers of Tillamook County, Oregon. These folks have been producing singular cheeses for over a century. The cheddar that is made here differs from that that is made in New York and Vermont. I've had cheddar on both coasts and what is made here ages smoothly and is soft compared to the dry and crumbly version produced in the East. This is a simple soup and very easy to make. If you're not quite ready for the hearty soups and stews of winter, this is a perfect soup to span the seasons. Over the years, I've replaced the heavy cream in this recipe with half-and half. It could also be made with whole milk, but it becomes thinner with the fat reduction. I hasten to add, that when made with heavy cream the soup becomes ambrosia - the fortunate inhabitants of Mt. Olympus aren't terribly concerned with cholesterol and clogged arteries, but mere mortals might want to give serious consideration to lower fat alternatives. There are no tricks to making this. If you are unable to get watercress, skip it and use a bit more broccoli. Everything else is available at your neighborhood grocery store. If you have any talent with a knife, the soup can be on the table in about 40 minutes. It is perfect for days that are chilly but not yet cold. This recipe is a nice one to have in your quiver. Here's how we do it.
Creamy Broccoli and Cheddar Soup...from the kitchen of One Perfect Bite
1 large or 2 small heads of broccoli
1 bunch watercress, stems removed
5 cups reduced-fat chicken broth
5 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk.
2 cups heavy cream, half-and-half or whole milk
1 pound sharp cheddar cheese, grated + additional cheese for garnish
Salt and pepper
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup dry sherry
1) Peel stems of broccoli and coarsely chop. Break florets into 1-inch pieces. Place broccoli and watercress, if using, in a soup pot with 3 cups of chicken broth.
Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
2) While broccoli simmers, melt butter over medium heat in a 2-quart saucepan. Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Watch carefully to avoid browning. Gradually add milk and cream; bring to a boil and then reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
3) Add cream sauce to broccoli. Add reserved 2 cups chicken broth and bring to a boil. Lower heat, add cheese and stir occasionally until cheese melts. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and sherry. Yield: 6 to 8 servings.

This sounds great, and I am sure very thick and tasty...
2 cups heavy cream AND a pound of cheese...
I am going to make this, as I love every ingredient, but will let it thicken up, and use as a cream sauce over broccoli instead of a soup.
It just sounds too good to thin it down - October 6, 2009 at 8:41 AM

The soup looks delicious. Broccoli soup is one of my favorites. I think I would use half & half with this too. I made the Julia recipe that you posted last week. I recently purchased the book and wanted to try one of the recipes and the beef one sounded great. OMG....the steps involved and the hours involved. Wow. It was delicious but a lot of work. I think I went through one dutch oven, 2 frying pans, 1 smaller pot, cutting board, etc......My husband loved the dish. I liked it but I don't think I would make it again anytime soon because of all the steps involved!!!

Brocolli & cheddar...sound nutritious & healthy to me! I love brocolli. Have you decided the right soup to serve for this coming Halloween dinner?
- October 7, 2009 at 12:12 AM
- GeoKaren said...
I have to take issue with your characterization of eastern cheddar. In particular I love Cabot cheddars/ The have a "seriously sharp" cheddar that has amazing depth of flavor and is not in the least, dry or crumbly. In fact I made an awesome mac & cheese with it and it shreds and melts perfectly. Give it a try.

Genie/Djinn GuideAll you need to know about Genie/Djinn. Bright blessings my friend, I see you would like to know something about my genies? When you own a genie, they are homed into a special crystal that you can carry with you or sleep with under your pillow or just keep safely in a box. Now, the genie may seem invisible for quite some time, it can take months and mine took nearly 7 years but after only a month or two, they will appear to you in your dreams. They are always with you even if you cannot see them. They will contact you through telepathy and you must talk to them all the time like you would to a good friend, this can be silently or out loud. You must imagine what their answers will be when you ask a question and you must trust in what you first think of for their answer as this will be there way of talking to you, they will put the answer into your mind. You must trust in these thoughts and the first answer that comes into your head. When you learn to trust in these thoughts and know that they are not your own thoughts, then they will become stronger and closer to you. You may then ask them to appear in your dreams, at this point you must keep a pen and paper by the bed to write down anything that you remember from your dreams because as we all know, we remember very little of our dreams. After some time, and after getting to know your genie well, you can start to ask for wishes to be granted, you must have faith in these wishes at all times and never ever doubt that they will come true. You will start to realise that these wishes are coming to you and becoming a reality. This is then when the magic happens. The wishes will start to flow to you as easily as breathing does. Your Genie will be very conscious that appearing to you in human form may scare you and for this reason might only appear to you as smoke or a shadow or in your dreams or thoughts. When they do show themselves to you, they can take on any shape or form that you desire, so they can look like an old friend or a film star or as themselves, it is your choice. Djinn are probably the most exciting, diverse and misunderstood of all astral creatures. This is most likely due to the fact that they've received relatively little public attention, other than what has been depicted in science fiction, fantasy or cartoon contexts. But over the past few years those who have an appreciation for the metaphysical world have begun to recognize the magnitude of possibilities that Djinn bring to both the magickal practitioner, and the layperson looking to improve his or her life. Djinn energy can lend power to virtually every conceivable area of our physical and non-physical realms. Only the Gods and Goddesses themselves rival their power. So what are Djinn? This sounds like a simple question, but even their definition is met with a wide range of answers, depending on whom you ask. Most can agree that Djinn are astral energies made of subtle or smokeless fire long before man walked the earth. This is, after all, how they are described in the Qur'an (25:27). But beyond this basic fact lies an endless sea of confusing and conflicting information. Djinn were created with free will, just like humans. Therefore, some will choose to be good and others will choose to be bad. However, ALL will be accountable to the great creator one day for their actions. Appearance The word jinn translates as anything that is concealed or invisible. The Djinn are a race that have no defined physical form of their own, so they are therefore invisible to the naked eye. However, they are shape shifters who can take on the physical form of just about anything they want. Many say that they walk among us every day. You will often see smoke when your Djinn appears, not because the smoke IS the Djinn, but because it accompanies him/her. It is simply a sign that your Djinn is nearby and ready to communicate, and signifies the presence of energy. Djinn can also appear with orbs, streaks of light, mists or other kinds of phenomenon. It can be a big, awe-inspiring appearance, or a subtle almost-not-noticed kind of appearance. With Djinn, like people, no two are exactly alike and there are countless ways they may manifest. Some Djinn will never manifest in any kind of physical form, but that doesn't mean that they aren't there and watching you. These Djinn will generally communicate with you only during dreams or meditation. They aren't any more or less powerful than other Djinn, they just choose to present themselves differently. General Characteristics It's important not to impose your own feelings and emotions on the Djinn. Sometimes we want to think of them like warm and fuzzy pets. If you want a warm and fuzzy astral creature then you're better off acquiring a faerie, mermaid or unicorn. Djinn mean business. Their destiny is to serve humans without emotional attachment. This doesn't mean that they're not loyal. It just means that they don't generally make decisions based on their feelings. Djinn were created before man, which dates them back before the time of Adam and Eve who lived 6,000 years ago. These original Djinn are Preadamites, meaning they existed before Adam. Djinn become more powerful as they age, and can live for thousands of years. An Elder is one who has reached the highest levels of energy and is somewhat harder to find. Younger Djinn are much more common, and are perfectly appropriate for the average person. Most Djinn have permanent residence on the astral plane in the mountains of Kaf (Qaf). This is a large emerald-like realm surrounding the physical world. It is generally agreed that Djinn eat, drink, marry and procreate, but this is not done in the same manner as humans, and very little is known on this subject. Djinn can have sexual relations with humans, although this has never resulted in a documented pregnancy. In fact, most female Djinn are quite seductive and will not be shy about coming to men while they sleep. Levels and Types of Djinn Djinn, Jinn and Genie are all interchangeable words for the same thing. Djinni or Jinni is the singular tense. We've listed the standard classifications of Djinn below, and they appear by highest level of power first. There are some Djinn who don't fall under these categories because they were created by the immortals. Although smaller in numbers, there is quite a wide range of these so we won't attempt to list them in this guide. Please keep in mind that there are countless tribes who have been identified as members of the various classifications, and many more are still being discovered today. The majority of Djinn will be classified in one of the following areas: Marid - They are associated with the element of water. They are the most powerful, but some can be dangerous. They can offer you the highest level of energy but be sure to only purchase from a reputable seller to ensure you are getting a safe entity. Ifrit - These are associated with the element of fire. These are generally malicious, rebellious, evil Djinn. They are considered to be very difficult to work with because they will try to sabotage the human whenever they can. This is recommended for the experienced practitioner only. Shaitan - These are described as malicious and evil, as well as full of deception (Qur'an 6:112, 35:6, 43:62, 43:62). Many believe that Satan was Shaitan. We don't advise working with this type of Djinn. Ghul - Ghuls are associated with dark magick and extreme caution should be used in working with them. They only appear after the sun sets and they disappear before the sun rises. Jann - They are considered to be among the weakest of the Djinn, but still powerful. They are among the first Djinn created. For many people, this will work just fine. Bonding If you have a Djinn enchanted piece of jewellery, it is best to keep it close to your skin during the initial bonding process. This greatly enhances the energy-to-energy connection. It is not necessary to keep the Djinn vessel hidden or away from prying eyes. No one will know that it is anything more than a nice piece of jewellery, unless you tell them. Probably the best method for enhancing your connection to any energy is through meditation. This really doesn't have to be anything complicated. First, find a quiet room that is free of all distractions. Quiet instrumental music is fine if it helps you to relax. Sit cross-legged on the floor if it's comfortable for you, or otherwise sit comfortably in a chair. Make sure to keep your back straight and your eyes closed, but facing straight ahead. Take several slow, deep breaths and concentrate your attention on the area of your third eye. This is the area between your eyes and a few centimetres higher. Focus both eyes on it until you feel a VERY SLIGHT strain. It shouldn't hurt. You'll know that you're in the right spot when both eyes seem to lock into position. Now count back from 100. By the time you reach one you will feel a strange sensation in the area of your third eye. You should see vivid pictures and words, almost like your mind is playing a video. Hold this for about 10 or 15 minutes and just allow the images to naturally appear. This is your opportunity to begin communicating with your Djinn. Feel free to ask questions and then listen politely for a response. Be sure to thank them when you're done. This method is not only effective for connecting with specific astral entities, but it will also help you to greatly strengthen your third eye for many psychic pursuits. When you're ready to re-enter the physical realm, open your eyes and take several more deep breaths as you slowly allow yourself to come back. That's all there is to it! Practice this every day and you'll soon be able to use this vision without the meditative state. Remember that Djinn MUST obey their masters. It is how it is written to be. However, the difficult part of the whole process is in making that initial connection. Once that's accomplished, you're well on your way to becoming a strong master. When can I see results? Like accessing any form of magick, working with the Djinn does usually take time. You'll receive the best results by launching a joint effort - the energy of your Djinn with your efforts in reaching your goals. For instance, if you want a great paying job, you'll be much more successful if you both work with your Djinn AND go out and actively submit applications and resumes, as well as go on interviews. If you sit at home and wait for the job to come to you, most likely you'll be sorely disappointed. Djinn MUST obey their masters. This is a universal given. However, sometimes it will seem as though your wish isn't being answered. This doesn't mean that your Djinn are disobeying you. It just means that because of their ability to know the past and future, they have a much more objective and broader perspective than you can possibly have. They still MUST fulfil your wish, but it may not be in the way that you intended. This is usually not to be mean (although there are some Djinn who find this to be a fun game), but rather a variation of your wish so that it is more aligned with your best interests. Djinn Vessel You can spell or bless a Djinn vessel without harm to the Djinn - you're spelling the vessel, not the Djinn. It's OK to get a vessel wet but we don't advise using harsh chemicals to clean it, only because it could potentially interrupt the flow of energy. Djinn can be bound to ANY vessel made of ANY material. This is because Djinn are bound to the energy of the vessel, and not the vessel itself. Everything is comprised of energy, therefore ANYTHING is capable of a binding. Compatibility - Having More Than One Djinn Many people try to humanize these entities by picturing their spirits fighting and arguing like children. Although this is an interesting analogy, it simply isn't the nature of how they work. Spirits aren't like people, all of my genies are compatible with any other that you may already have or wish to have in the future. Accidentally Releasing Your Djinn Once bound, you cannot accidentally release your Djinn! There's a misconception that there is a pre-set question that if asked, will release your Djinn. This is simply not true! Others say that iron can release your Djinn. This is also not true. This perhaps originated from the days of Solomon who was able to bring the Djinn under control by using his copper and iron ring. But his control didn't really have anything to do with the iron in the ring. It was the magick of the ring that allowed this to work. There is nothing that you can do that will release your Djinn. This can only be done by a trained professional. |

The second-place Rockies are also idle today, but we've got three other NL West games going on today:
- The Giants wrap up their series with Altanta today, first pitch 10a PT. Barry Zito (5-10) takes the hill against Kenshin Kawakami (5-7), whose name has a whole lot of Ks. The Giants start the day in third place in the NL West, 10.5 games back of the Dodgers.
- The Padres play this afternoon at 4p in Philadelphia's Citizens Bank Park. Kevin Correia (6-7) vs. Cole Hamels (a surprisingly pedestrian 5-5). Pads are 24 games behind the Dodgers and this game might not be so interesting, although the Phillies just lost their first game last night, breaking a 10-game win streak.
- Finally, the Diamondbacks host the Pirates, first pitch 6.40p. Dan Haren (10-5) takes on the steakhouse of Charlie Morton (2-2). Snakes are 21 GB the Dodgers, but with Haren on the mound it's a compelling game, at least.
Comment away, Dodger fans!

Yes, Sonia Kashuk is cruelty-free. They don't test their finished products or ingredients on animals, and neither do their suppliers or any third-parties. It's also verified that their products are not tested on animals anywhere in the world, including mainland China.
Sonia Kashuk is not owned by any parent company that tests on animals.
In the beauty industry, it's common for brands to be owned by a larger company. These are called parent companies, and they're often global corporations such as L'Oreal, Estee Lauder, or Procter & Gamble.
Most of these parent companies are not cruelty-free, since they test on animals to some degree. They might also own several brands that are not cruelty-free.
However, some of the brands owned by these parent companies are cruelty-free and have strict policies against animal testing.
There are pros and cons to supporting cruelty-free brands owned by parent companies that aren't.
You can either:
In the cruelty-free community, the majority of conscious consumers purchase from cruelty-free brands even if they're owned by a parent company that tests on animals. This is our stance at Cruelty-Free Kitty as well. We believe that supporting all cruelty-free brands is the only path towards a cruelty-free and more ethical beauty industry.
It's also worth noting that subsidiary brands of parent companies are unique corporations by themselves. They act as independent branches and operate independently from the parent company, and can also be sold to other companies including cruelty-free ones.
Another aspect to consider is that many parts of the world only have access to limited brands, so their only cruelty-free options are owned by large corporations. This is a concern we hear about constantly from our international readers. Given this complex landscape, we believe that supporting all cruelty-free brands is ethical as well as practical.
A minority of shoppers choose to boycott brands owned by a parent company that tests on animals.
At Cruelty-Free Kitty, we make it easy for all of our readers to know which brands are owned by a parent company that tests on animals. At the top of each brand page, you'll see a "parent company" note if that's the case.
You can also filter our list of cruelty-free brands to only show brands that are not owned by any company that tests on animals.
Finally, for a list of brands owned by a parent company that tests on animals, click here.
No, Sonia Kashuk is not sold where animal testing is required by law.
You can trust Cruelty-Free Kitty to be on top of the most recent changes in China's animal testing laws. As of 2023, the vast majority of beauty brands available in China have had their products tested on animals.
Mainland China still requires these mandatory animal tests for most companies. Is it possible for brands to bypass them? Yes, however it's currently extremely rare as brands need to "jump through several hoops".
One way to bypass these animal tests is to only have their products available only online, and not in physical stores. Another way is to manufacture the products in China while making sure to adhere to strict regulations.
In all other cases, beauty brands need to pay for cruel animal tests to be performed using their products. It's estimated that close to 100,000 rabbits are used in animal testing for cosmetics each year in China alone.
Even though the company itself isn't executing these animal experiments, they bear full responsibility. Not only does the company sign off on the experiments, but they're also funding them.
No, Sonia Kashuk is not certified by any organizations.
While companies can be fully cruelty-free without being certified, it's still a good indicator of their ethical practices. Leaping Bunny and PETA are the two organizations giving out cruelty-free certification.
Sonia Kashuk is cruelty-free but not 100% vegan, meaning that some of their products contain animal-derived ingredients.
Brands can be cruelty-free without being vegan, and claim to be vegan without being cruelty-free. This is because "cruelty-free" refers to the animal testing aspect, while "vegan" refers to the ingredients.
A "vegan" product contains no animal-derived ingredients, such as Beeswax (made by bees), Carmine (a red pigment made from crushed beetles), or Collagen (from mammal or fish skin).
A company is "cruelty-free" at company level, meaning they can't have cruelty-free products unless the whole company is cruelty-free. However, a company can offer vegan products even if not all of their products are vegan. If all of their products are vegan, then we refer to the brand as "100% vegan".
We have a list of 100% vegan brands, and you can also filter our official list of cruelty-free brands and choose to show vegan brands only.
Looking for vegan products from cruelty-free brands? Visit our Product Database and make sure you use the vegan filter.
No, Sonia Kashuk does not test on animals. They do not conduct or fund animal testing at any level from their ingredients to their finished products. They don't engage in animal testing as a brand, and neither do their suppliers or any third parties, anywhere in the world.
We contact brands directly with our questions in order to get their full animal testing policy. If brands answer all our questions and confirm that no animal testing is happening at any point during production and beyond, they're added to our cruelty-free list. All brands we add have confirmed the information above.
We ask all conscious consumers to be mindful of misleading statements from brands. Companies that test on animals try to minimize their involvement in animal testing, and understandably so—if a brand were to proudly claim to perform cruel tests on animals, their customers would surely reconsider being a loyal fan.
What they do instead is use clever language that shifts the blame away from themselves and makes the public believe that they're not responsible for the animal testing, or that the animal testing performed on their products is "an exception".
If a brand is listed as "not cruelty-free" in our database, you can rest assured that their products were tested on animals in recent years.
We monitor every change and constantly post updates. The changes in our database, list of cruelty-free, and brand pages are reflected in real time as soon as we become aware of new information.
Founded in 2014 by Suzana Rose, Cruelty-Free Kitty is the largest and most trusted cruelty-free shopping platform.
We vet every single brand added to our database by contacting them directly and ensuring they adhere to our strict criteria we call "The Cruelty-Free 5".
For a brand to be listed as cruelty-free, it must satisfy the following:
At Cruelty-Free Kitty, we have an unwavering commitment to accuracy. The landscape of cosmetics animal testing is constantly evolving globally. Our team is diligent about staying current on changing laws, brand acquisitions, and policy updates that impact cruelty-free status.
To date, we've vetted over 1200+ brands and helped millions of conscious shoppers choose products that aren't tested on animals. Please feel free to contact us with any questions by using our contact form.

As the death toll mounts in Syria, the U.S. and its partners have been scrambling to come up with new diplomatic initiatives to persuade Syrian President Bashar Assad to silence his army's guns and give up power.
Last week, Russia and China blocked a U.N. resolution that would have supported the Arab League peace proposals. Since then, the violence has only intensified.
Like other international diplomats, Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu is still reeling from Russia and China's refusal to back the Arab League proposal's to solve the crisis in Syria.
"It was a typical Cold War picture, which we do not like to see. And we will pay the price. Today we have 12,000 refugees in Turkey," he says. "Tomorrow, I don't know how many."
Davutoglu says Turkey's borders will remain open to anyone escaping Assad's regime. He says he wants to do more to help people inside Syria.
"If this humanitarian tragedy continues, of course there should be some ways for the accessibility of food and medicine for these people," Davutoglu says. "And here the international community has the responsibility to protect innocent people."
Though he won't say how, he insists this is not another Libya and that there is no talk of military intervention. Davutoglu says he still holds out hope that Russia will make a new assessment now that Assad seems to have broken his promises and intensified the shelling of Syrian cities.
Davutoglu says Turkey, too, had held out hopes that Assad would be a reformer, but gave up on that idea last year.
He says Turkey hoped that Assad would be a Gorbachev, referring to Mikhail Gorbachev, the reformist Russian leader. "But he preferred to be Milosevic of Syria," Davutoglu says, referring to Slobodan Milosevic, the ousted Serbian leader who was facing charges of war crimes when he died in prison at The Hague in 2006.
And Homs today, Davutoglu says, looks a lot like Sarajevo under siege.
The Turkish foreign minister is to meet Secretary of State Hillary Clinton Monday. State Department spokesperson Victoria Nuland said the U.S. and its partners are trying to put together a "friends of Syria" group. Though they haven't settled on a name or a venue for their first meeting, they know what they want.
"The goal of all of the countries and partners that we expect will participate in this is to support the kind of plan that the Arab League put forward, which spoke very clearly about a democratic transition in Syria," Nuland said.
But just how to get there will be a challenge, says Andrew Tabler of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy.
"The question is what can this group really do to stop the killing in Syria and what can it do to get humanitarian relief to those who are dying. And that's where they are coming up with far, far fewer answers than people would expect, given the degree of carnage in Syria," Tabler says.
The armed opposition might be able to play a role in setting up humanitarian corridors or buffer zones, Tabler says. But so far the U.S. has kept the Free Syrian Army, the anti-government forces, at arms length. He says there is much debate in Washington about that position now.
"If the U.S. is assisting the Syrian opposition, what do they do concerning its armed element? Do you provide nonlethal assistance, lethal assistance?" Tabler says. "Whatever it is, it is a fact on the ground that the U.S. is struggling to deal with. And they are going to need to do that, if they are going to hope to drive the death tolls down and hopefully improve the situation in the short term."
Davutoglu, the Turkish foreign minister, estimates that 40,000 soldiers have defected from the Syrian army. And though some have gone to Turkey, Davutoglu says his country is not arming or training them. He did not want to talk about tactics under discussion now, saying only his overall goal is to promote a new Syria, where people can chose their leader.
"The Syrian people should decide for the regime, not Bashar Assad himself alone. Syria is not the personal property or family property of Bashar Assad," Davutoglu says.
And the Turkish official says it's vital now for the world to send a signal to Syrians that they are not alone.

Boston physician Vivek Murthy was expected to run into political headwinds Tuesday during his Senate confirmation hearing for the post of the nation's top doc — surgeon general.
Murthy, 36, the founder of a national physicians group that worked to pass the Affordable Care Act, was seen by some as vulnerable to GOP attacks because of his political work, his youth and his less-than-a-lifetime of public health experience — not to mention a few impolitic tweets guaranteed to rile conservatives.
But Republican opposition to Murthy, the Harvard-educated son of immigrants from India, proved tepid during the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee hearing.
Why? GOP Sen. Mike Enzi of Wyoming had a theory.
Not only did Enzi say he found himself "impressed" with Murthy's comments, but, in the end, it really wouldn't have made much difference if he hadn't.
"We have this nuclear option now," Enzi said, referring to the recent change in Senate rules that allows a simple majority of senators to override filibusters on the president's nominations, with the exception of Supreme Court picks.
Your confirmation is assured, Enzi told Murthy, who got a combined medical degree and master's degree in business from Yale University.
The committee's top Republican, Sen. Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., warned Murthy that if politics and advocating for the ACA "becomes your principal purpose in the bully pulpit, that becomes a problem."
Murthy told senators that he would avoid politics and use the surgeon general's position to focus on childhood obesity, cutting tobacco use and vaccinating children.
If confirmed, he'll also oversee the National Prevention Council, a 20-member creation of the ACA that oversees federal health and prevention efforts.
Prevention, Murthy told the panel, is "an issue I'm deeply passionate about."
What he hasn't seemed so passionate about lately is tweeting: his last entry on the social media platform was last September, two months before he was nominated for surgeon general.
But he found himself having to explain two earlier tweets flagged by Republicans.
Alexander dinged the nominee for a tweet declaring that he was "tired of politicians who are scared of the NRA." The Second Amendment," the senator instructed, "is not part of an interest group."
And Enzi wanted an explanation for a Murthy tweet that asserted "Obamacare gives women choice and access to contraception. What's wrong with choice?"
Murthy said his approach to contraception is "informed by science," and that "when women have access to contraception, it results in better health outcomes for mothers."
Murthy, whose father was a primary care doctor in Miami, is an attending physician at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. He founded in 2007 the software startup Trial Networks, which is intended to help professionalize and streamline clinical trials. He is also founder of the nonprofit VISIONS Worldwide that works to provide AIDS and HIV education in India.
If confirmed, Murthy would become the third youngest surgeon general in the nation's history.
