Are you looking for Harry Potter?

Hello,
    If you are a visitor from Novinky.cz, coming in from a link from an article on the leaked version of a Harry Potter book, please note that BLOGFORPEACE.ORG HAS GOT NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. The file was hosted on this server, for my other blog, Blogging India.

    So please forward yourself to these respective articles, on Blogging India -

1) [15th April] Post on Blogging India about the leaked version of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, and to download it.

2) [21st April] Post of Blogging India about how the leaked version was actually just a fan fiction story.

    I guess that it might be said at this point that the news was NOT TRUE. the so called leaked version was only a fan fiction story(see link 2.)

The Stone Hawk drug addiction rehab programme

Hello all,
    Today, I’ll give you an insight into a topic which I’ve been yearning to write about for a long time, but never got time. But now, I’m being sponsored to write about it by the Stone Hawk programme, so its all the more better :)

    Drug Addiction, and treatment

    Addictions of various sorts, drug, alcohol, smoke, and so on, have plagued each and every one of us, either directly or indirectly. It is a curse on earth. It is pitiful to see otherwise cheerful people succumb into tension, frustration and solitude due to the evils of addiction.

    So, I consider Drug Rehabilitation programmes to be a boon! Natural rehab programmes, like the Narconon Stone Hawk programme treat drug addicts, not with medicines, but with natural remedies. Healthy diets of vitamins, minerals and lots of water, exercises and yoga, meditation and social service, and the maintenance of a lovely environment, help in the anti addiction of drug addicts. After the toxins are removed by constant natural exercises, the concerned are given individual counseling and life skill programs to give him or her the skills required to lead a successful drug free life.

    The Stone Hawk programme uses exercise, sauna detox treatments, and nutritional supplements to:

  • Control drug and alcohol cravings.
  • Control withdrawal symptoms associated with drug addiction and alcoholism. These can include depression, irritability, and fatigue.
  • Promotion of clear thinking.
  • Improve memory ability
  • Improve attention span .
  • Increase energy.
  • Allow a sense of well being.

    The natural drug treatment program also reduces side effects and helps the induvidual to control cravings and withdrawal symptoms. The programme has proved effective within 60 days(see the graph below).

    The Stone Hawk programme also have in store various methods to PAY for the rehab programme. They have a Patient Financing programme for loans and financial options given to individuals undergoing the treatment.

    They have various drug rehab programmes including short term and long term programmes. Short term programmes are 20-30 days in tenure. The most popular being 28 days. Long term programmes are 3-6 months, for advanced cases. The long-term programs offer many benefits and skills that an addict needs to recover from a drug or alcohol addiction. Many of these programs offer detoxification, counseling, problem resolution, life skills, and after care programs.

       So if you want a drug rehab, choose Stone Hawk! Simply call a toll free no. to avail their services -

1-888-227-9193

    The Stony Hawk programme has cured many an addict. There are countless success stories listed on their website! A 14 year old Cocaine addict writes…

I was 14 when I first tried coke. It was a stupid thing to do but all my friends were doing it at the time so I guess I just followed suit. It turned out to be the worst thing I’ve ever done in my whole life….

…I heard about Narconon Stonehawk through one of my other friends who was already there. I decided to bite the bullet and check it out. From the moment I stepped through the door, I felt welcome and loved, not persecuted. The staff there was great. They knew what they were talking about and helped me to understand my problem better.

There were always things to do to take my mind off the withdrawal symptoms and there was always someone I could talk to, anytime I needed. They also pointed me towards a good group counselling center that I still go to. It’s been 3 years now since I said goodbye to drugs, thanks to Narconon Stonehawk. I’d recommend it to anyone who has a problem with substance abuse.

    Good luck!

The Do-Follow campaign…

Hello all,
    Among the bloggers, theres been a big hype about a particular Wordpress plugin called Do-Follow. Its something to do with how links are referred to, and how search engines follow up links.

    All my blogs use Do Follow, and I’m a supporter of the plugin. But suddenly, there began an I Follow movement to unite all bloggers who use the plugin.

     And my friend Colleen, over at Geeky Speaky, started up a list. She called it the D-List, and it was supposed to go all over the net, indexing all those who used Do Follow plugins.

    I got tagged today by a fellow postie at Priori Incantatem (a Harry Potter blog), so here I am following the tradition.

***Begin to copy here***

1. Write a short paragraph at the beginning of your post and link back to the blog that put you on the list in the paragraph. This isn’t a suggestion. You need to break up the duplicate content. Someone took the time to add you so the least you can do is give them an extra link back.

2. Copy the list of originals below COMPLETELY and add it to your blog. If you would like a different keyword for your blog then change it when you do your post and it should pass to most blogs with that keyword.

3. Take the adds from the blog that added you and place them in the “Originals” list.

4. Add at least 1 new blog that you KNOW us using the DO FOLLOW plugin to the list in the “My Adds” section. (Add no more than 5!) Let the people you’ve added know, so that they can keep the list going!

5. Leave relevant comments on the blogs listed and get a link back to your site thanks to Do Follow!

Sept 11 attacks stained onto glass in a Dutch cathedral

Hi all,
    I’m sure all of us remember that dreadful day when more than 2800 people were killed by the cruel acts of terrorism by demolishing the Twin Towers. Yes. September 9th.

    A cathedral in Netherlands has commissioned a new stained glass window which contains an image of the Twin Tower attacks. Reutuers reports that the window was blessed on Sunday by a Dutch Bishop.

The window, built up of about twenty different panes with representations of heaven and hell, has the WTC pane at the bottom showing “hell on earth”, its maker Marc Mulders said.

The pane shows an airplane about to crash in one of the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001.

“It was an assignment by the church to make a stained glass window that was related to the spirit of this time,” Mulders 48, said on his Web site, adding that he sees the WTC attacks as an image that speaks vividly to all people.

The window in the Sint Jan cathedral in Den Bosch, a city in the south of the Netherlands, has attracted the attention of the world’s media press because of the Twin Tower image, pastor Geert Jan van Rossem said.

Van Rossem said he expected the window to cause reflection from those who saw it.

“Innocent civilians were killed, that is shocking and makes people think,” he said.

A small crowd applauded and praised the window’s bright colors when the bishop revealed the stained glass window.

    Let these artistic images leave behind a memory to remember… A memory to remind us how ghastly the world can get… A memory to remind us of the uglier sides of life… A memory to remind us, why world peace is essential…

The predictions of a 14 year old from Milwaukee, made in 1901, true in 2001

Hi all,
    In a blog named Paleo Future, I found this great article about a 14 year old named Arthur Palm, from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, who published an article in his school newspaper (the Excelsior) in the year 1901, describing what the world would be like in 2001.

“How it may appear a hundred years hence, when modern inventions have been carried to their highest point of development that even Edison would feel jealous of the great inventions in the year 2001.

In the year 2001 you will see sky-scrapers sticking far above the clouds over 200 stories high. On the streets there will not be any room for street cars, so they will build lines way up in the air, and there will be landings fastened to the high skyscrapers, where the people will wait for the cars.

The carlines will have different kinds of names and you will see the name “Manhattan Air Line” many hundreds of feet above the ground. You see air-ships and carriages fastened to balloons for the transportation of the people through the air, and you will often see collisions in the clouds. In one of the sky-scrapers on the 119 story you will see a sign, ‘Old People Restored to Youth by Electricity, While You Wait.’”

    Fascinating isnt it? There are indeed “lines way up in the air” commonly known as expressways! And imagine that the kid dreamed about airlines and airports! But what about “old people restored to youth by electricity” - does it refer to shock treatment to cure insanity?

    Wow! Amazing how kids can make such predictions. As Shakespeare said,

Children, the aged, and madmen augur…
