<description><![CDATA[Guido Von List
 ARMANEN RUNES

Rune symbols are very powerful. You can use them to enhance your life]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:large;"><strong>Guido Von List</strong></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center"><span style="color:#0000ff;"> <span style="font-size:large;"><strong>ARMANEN RUNES</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Rune symbols are very powerful. You can use them to enhance your life for the better. They are keys to the Creative Energies of the Universe. Guido Von List, the great German mystic and rune master, gave us a new modern day insight into the runes.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">He had a very similar experience as Odin, the All Father of the Norse Gods head. Odin hung upside down on the Yggdrasil Tree for nine days and nine nights till he finally reached down and grasped the runes. From where?</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Guido Von List has cataract surgery and as he lie in bed in a German hospital he had a similar experience.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">In his semi blind state he also reached down and brought forth the 18 runes of the Armanen Futhork. Where did he and Odin reach down to to get the runes?</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Now that we are in the Age of Aquarius we have the answer. We now have the Laws of Quantum Physics. These laws simply state that there exists and infinite, intelligent ocean of thinking energy called the Quantum Ocean. Everything that ever was, is or will be exists there.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">There is no time there. No past, present nor future. Only the "NOW!" There is not space there. Only the "HERE!" We live and move and have our being inside the "HERE-NOW!"</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">The runes exist in the Quantum Ocean now and have always existed there. They are the keys into the other energies within the Quantum ocean.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">The Quantum Ocean, in reality, is the Mind Of God. We can commune directly with the Mind of God with our thoughts. Thoughts are things. Thoughts are keys to the Universal Energies within the Quantum Ocean.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">We can also communicate with the Mind of God, the Quantum Ocean through symbols.  The rune symbols are the most powerful keys known to mankind. We can use them to attract health, wealth and love into our own life.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">There are many ways we can use the runes to attract the energies we want out of the Minds of God, the Quantum Ocean.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">We can simply look at a rune symbol and make the mental radionics connection. We can meditate on them. We can breath them into our aura. We can attache them to a radionicss device. You can place them under an orgone generator. Or we can simply carry them with us of wear them on our bodies.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:x-small;">Each of these methods will be explained in following articles. I will be talking about and using the Guido Von List 18 rune Armanen Futhork.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Daniel Lak, who worked in the Subcontinent for two decades as a BBC journalist for two decades, tell]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Daniel Lak, who worked in the Subcontinent for two decades as a BBC journalist for two decades, tells <strong>Utpal Borpujari</strong> is that India is ready to be a superpower now</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Daniel Lak sees India as “Asia’s America”. In other words, what he means is that India is emerging as a superpower in the new global scenario. Lak’s idea about the new India of 21<sup>st</sup> century is nothing new, with authorities on governance, politics and economics coming up with similar predictions. But Lak, in his new book,<strong><em> India Express: The Future of a New Superpower</em></strong> (Penguin Viking), comes up with a set of well-argued theories to put meat to the idea of India becoming this new, improved version of “America”.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Lak, who worked in India and then in Nepal as a journalist with BBC for nearly two decades, starts off with the story of a street-side “press wallah” in Chennai, and how he took loans from his well-off clients to educate his two sons, and then jumps into the socio-political and economic cauldron to sieve out an image of India that is on its way to becoming a superpower.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">But Lak’s vision of an India as a superpower is not of a military one. “Superpower is really a heady word. It conjures up notions of the US and the old Soviet Union, with fleets of ships, missiles, nuclear weapons, and going and taking over countries and places. In my book, people will find a new kind of superpower, one that has liberal values and a lot of good for the world, and one that is involved not only in the military aspects of a superpower but also in aspects like climate change, AIDS-HIV, global trade rules.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Lak’s experience of working in the region as a professional journalist during a period when India started its journey towards economic liberalisation obviously has helped in seeing and putting things in a perspective – which is why he is convinced that the latest meltdown of several American financial institutions has suddenly increase the importance quotient of countries like India, China, Brazil and Russia in the global scenario. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">But why call India a potential “America” and not a country that can have its own identity of being a superpower? Lak has his argument ready, “America is hugely multicultural, and every faith practiced by the mankind is found in America like it is in India. India in a way invented this sort of multiculturalism which gives it a head start in the superpower business - because if you can live with great diversity within your borders, you have a stronger player in the wider world, you have a more nuanced and subtle approach to the complexities that are coming up in the world.” And then, there are similarities between the two nations in spheres of Freedom of the Press, Fundamental Rights and the rule of law, he says. “The countries are not dissimilar in that sense.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">The India-US civil nuclear deal is a marker of India’s growing importance in the world arena, he says. “In 1998, the US was the loudest voice denouncing India for the N-tests. The reality now is that the US government not only has accepted these tests but also basically rewrote the whole non-proliferation regime to keep India on board. It is a pragmatic move, because if they had ignored reality it would not have done any good to the international non-proliferation regime,” he says. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">However, Lak is against any comparison between India and China, though many tend to do that because of the virtual growth competition the two countries are into. “India is a democracy. In China the all-powerful state forced factories down the throat of the people at huge costs of social and population dislocation and environmental degradation. India has managed to check some of the excesses that happened in China. It is impossible to compare India with China, which, with its 94 per cent Han Chinese population, overwhelmingly comprises one linguistic group. There is no connection with the distant past except for some lines given in schools through Communism. In India people are aware of their regional history, their family history,” he says, adding, “China is a bad model to compare.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">According to Lak, poverty and corruption are the major impediments in India’s growth story. And to overcome them, his prescription is to India is to go truly federal. “The power needs to be devolved, and we need to have state governments just like state government in US, where they can raise their own money, through bond issues, income tax, etc., leaving to the Centre the big things like defence, economic policy, international relations, health, education. Look at Canada, Switzerland and Germany – these are federal states with maximum authority devolved from the national government,” he says debunking the theory that India would break up if power is devolved. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">And of course, India’s neighbourhood, he says, is a problem. “Pakistan continues to lurch from crisis to crisis, but it always has. It is a tough neighbourhood but there are tougher ones. What is really needed is that Indian diplomacy needs to get better. I think India needs people like (Foreign Secretary) Shyam Saran who is an ideal example of how Indian diplomats should be – a modern, forward looking, good patriotic Indian. I am sure India’s neighbours would like to come on board for a real slice of the pie if they are treated better by the Indian diplomacy.”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Lak is impressed by the rise of coalition governments at the Centre, which he says is a sign of growing maturity of Indian democracy in the sense that it has led to devolution of power from the Centre. And no, coalition politics has not acted as an impediment to India’s growth story. “De facto, India’s regions and states are getting more authority through these small, state, regional or ethnicity-based parties. Under the coalition governments that have been there almost uninterrupted since 1996, some of the greatest economic strides have been made by India. If you have only two huge national parties that traded power regardless of what is their raison d‘etre, it would have been harder to push the diverse, responsive, interesting agenda than it is under a coalition government,” he says. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">But ultimately, it is India’s people who are its greatest assets, though their strength comes from having to tackle a difficult life everyday, Lak stresses. “To be an Indian, you have to be one of the world’s best problem solvers because you tackle such a difficult life every day. From your kid’s education to medical facilities to basic amenities, in all spheres of your daily life you need to have a strength of character to move on.” </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">(An abridged version was published in Sakaal Times, <a href="http://www.sakaaltimes.com">www.sakaaltimes.com</a>, 04-10-2008)</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">And the complete interview with Lak, taken on 29-09-2008, on the basis of which this piece was written:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Do you think India is on its way to becoming a superpower?</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">This is a book I wrote for people in the world who might not know what is going on in India right now, and you have to grab their attention. If you are in India, India is the centre of the universe, but if you are living outside, India is among the many countries which are vibrant, so I wanted to grab their attention by arguing that not only India among the most important in the world by it is on its way to becoming one of the top countries if it is not one already.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">We are seeing confirmation of this already, with this month the entire American system, the basis for its success, the Wall Street, capitalism is at risk, and countries like India, China, Brazil, Russia are all the more important than they were a month ago. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Superpower is really a heady word, it conjures up notions of the US, the old Soviet Union with fleets of ships, missiles, nuclear weapons, going and taking over countries and places. In the book, people will find a new kind superpower one that has liberal values and good for the world, and one that is involved not only in the military aspects of a superpower but in other aspects like climate change, AIDS-HIV, global trade rules – in all of this India is an important player.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>But there are a lot of complexities, contradictions involved…and why call an Asian America?</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">When the wider world reads the book, the sense that I am conveying to them ….America is by no means a unitary state, it is hugely multicultural, and every faith practiced by the mankind is found in America as well as India, whereas a place like China is less diverse. America has Hollywood projected to the world. What I say in the book is that India in a way invented this sort of multiculturalism which gave it a head start in the superpower business, because if you can live with great diversity within your borders, you have a stronger player in the wider world, you have a more nuanced and subtle approach to the complexities that are coming up in the world. India plays a great role in multilateral issues now, as compared to ten years ago when it was only about Kashmir. Now India is involved in everything, it is the leading nation in the UN Peacekeeping Force, has one of the most respected peacekeeping forces in the world, I think in the coming years that is going to be almost as important as having an Army that can crush challenges in various parts of the world, being used to use the legal and other levers on multilateral issues. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">I say Asia’s America because of a number of reasons - Freedom of the Press, Fundamental Rights, and rule of law…the countries are not dissimilar in that sense. And also, there are lots and lots of examples of rule of law breaking down, the press not doing its duty or being stifled somehow in both countries; it just helps to prove the rule that these are the most important aspect of a superpower. It is a liberal superpower.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Do you think the N-deal is also recognition of India’s growing importance?</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Yes. I remember in 1998 when I was in India, the US was the loudest voice denouncing India for the N-Tests, and saying it could never get its way if they proceeded down the track and they had to roll back everything. The reality is that the US government not only accepted these tests but basically rewrote the whole non-proliferation regime to keep India on board. It is a pragmatic move, because if they had ignored reality like they did with Israel’s n-weapons outside the non-proliferation regime while trusting them nonetheless, it would not have done any good to the international non-proliferation regime. If you look at it, apart from Iraq and Afghanistan, this deal is the only significant thing done by the Bush administration has done at international level. It is a farsighted and interesting move.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">You say that within India, the coalition governments are a sign of maturity of the Indian democracy. But don’t you think sometimes their goals overtake issues of national importance, the whole growth path?</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">I am not saying that coalitions prove that Indian is a mature democracy, but what has happening through coalition is that there has been devolution of central power through the growth of regional parties which has not happened since the British left India. De facto, India’s regions and states are getting more authority through these small, state, regional or linguistic-based parties. You have to remember that under the coalition governments in India which has been there almost uninterrupted since 1996, some of the greatest economic strides have been made by India, the continual opening up the economy has gone on. If you have two huge national parties that traded power regardless of what is their raison d’etre, it would have been harder to push the diverse responsive, interesting agenda than it is under a coalition government. Plus some of the skills being developed by some of the MPs and their staff are quite impressive due to this devolution of power. Political skills that run the US are quite similar, and though it is a two-party system their, each of the parties have hundred different thinking streams within them – from far right to far left, amply reflected in the ongoing presidential election.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Do you think there is a need for two strong national parties to lead the coalition at the centre as they have a pan-Indian presence?</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Obviously that is the reality across the world. Minus some of the history of the Congress party and some of the Hinduvta of the BJP, the parties are mainstream, both of them, roughly similar and compete on various aspects of public policy. But just because we have two parties which aim for national dominance, that does not mean that is the national state of affairs. What has happened is that in Congress, the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty either ceases to mean much for the younger people because history being more and more distant for them – and India is a young country – at the same time, BJP’s historic grievances would they continue to mean significance to the people, maybe, maybe not. Both would have to compete on developmental issues and growth of jobs. Eight per cent economic growth is necessary for growth of jobs, to keep up with population growth. I think both parties are following suit as both have young leaders and they are capable of governing pragmatically.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>What about the contradiction of two Indias – the rural left behind in the growth pattern?</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">It’s a democracy, and there has to be a lot of give and take. It is not China where the all-powerful state forcing factories down the throat of the people at huge costs of huge social and population dislocation and environmental degradation. India has managed to check some of the excesses that have happened in China. Yes, poverty is huge challenge, and yes there is a rural-urban divide. But a lot of urban areas – Bangalore, Hyderabad – are doing very well, and so are some rural areas. And while I am not quite up to it about what happened to Tatas in West Bengal, let’s not forget it’s West Bengal, it’s a state with huge amount of social activism by the Left and around it. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>Do you feel there are some traits of China which India should follow in the quest for development?</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">Comparing India with US is possible, but not with China, as it is 94 per cent Han Chinese, overwhelmingly one linguistic group. Ethnically, people are different but those differences have been submerged by Communism. There is no connection with the distant past except for some lines given in schools through Communism. In India people are aware of their regional history, their family history.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">But Indian Diaspora can take a few lessons from the Chinese Diaspora, how they have taken interest in the country’s development. Ten years ago, Indian Diaspora had no interest in their country, but now it has, but in China’s huge FDI, is all thanks to Chinese Diaspora. Maybe the two Diasporas can have an annual meeting! China is a bad model to compare as it is unique model where the state did industrialization when it wanted to through one policy, but just to do that they had to kill 70-80 million of their own people through Mao’s policies. Until Deng Xiaoping came in, nobody wanted to be a China. Even now, because of lack of a free press, not much is known about China, though we saw what they are capable of when they hosted the Olympics. I don’t think India would want to do much with China apart from trade. I love this talk of this railway line coming down from Lhasa to India. I think they have solved all their differences since the 1962 war.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>What about corruption in India?</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">It is a huge impediment in the growth path. But it used to be worse. The Press was more involved and had more money to take on issues, now vernacular journalism has come up, quality has improved, and corruption exposure is probably number one that readers like. But the state is a little too powerful here even now. That is what I say in this book, the power need to be devolved a little more beyond coalition governments. We need to have state governments in India just like state government in US, where they can raise their own money, through bond issues, income tax, leaving to the centre the big things like defence, economic policy, international relations, health, and education. Look at US, Canada, Switzerland, Germany – these are federal states with maximum authority devolved from the national government. There is no threat of India breaking up. Delhi has got to give up some of its powers. It is better to have a de jure thing than just coalition governments. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>India's Middle Class is the largest in the world, but it is often accused of not being involved enough, and becoming more and more consumerist...</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">In the modern world, we cannot be too dismissive of consumption because economy is driven by consumption. It is going to be remarkable when it takes off in a big way in India. Consumption does not being one is being consumerist and does not take care of social issues. Things in India like developing a food industry that really delivers decent food to all the people and allow people in the value chain is going to vastly improve the situation to be many more people. Modernization of agriculture is going to happen because the middle class is going to demand a regular and quality food supply that is known in every advanced economy. And as for the consumption of cars, electronic equipment, that’s how the world works. I have a whole chapter devoted to social entrepreneurs. The two developments need to go hand in hand. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"><strong>What about India’s neighbourhood?</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0;"><span style="font-size:small;font-family:Times New Roman;">It’s a big problem, Pakistan continues to lurch from crisis to crisis, but it always has. Neighboughood can be an impediment, but look at it this way – Nepal has the hydroelectric potential that India can benefit from, Bangladesh has natural gas and hydrocarbon reserves need to general clean electricity here. It is a tough neighbourhood but there are tougher ones. What is really needed is that Indian diplomacy needs to get better. Some of the smartest people in India today are working with companies like ONGC or Infosys – you are talking to some of the smartest people in the world, and in the next room you talk to some from South Block and they are a bunch of sticky types that are prickly about you got to respect my country. It should be the same first category kind in both rooms. I think India needs people like Shyam Saran who is an ideal example of how Indian diplomats should be – modern, forward looking, good patriotic Indian. Satish Mehta, now off to LA from Toronto, people like that – those who know how to mix the deals. India needs to take a more leadership role in the neighbourhood. Gujral had a good relationship with Pakistan and Bangladesh. Canada and Mexico prosper because of their ties with US, Bangladeshis, Sri Lanka, Nepal are calm neighbours. I am sure they would like to come on board for a real slice of the pie if they are treated better by Indian diplomacy. As they say in Nepal, we border Bihar and UP. If we border TN and Karnataka, Maharashtra that would have been a different story! To be an Indian, you have to be one of the world’s best problem solvers because you tackle such a difficult life every day. Getting kid’s education, daily life you need strength of character...</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[Rune Mysteries Manhattan
Legend of Corn Hair

Reider Serwin, who wrote &#8220;The Viking Red Man]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;font-style:normal;" align="center"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="font-size:large;">Rune Mysteries Manhattan</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="font-size:large;">Legend of Corn Hair</span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Reider Serwin, who wrote "The Viking Red Man" traced more than 1,000 words in the Mohawk, Iroquois and Algonquin language to old Norse. Long before the Dutch infused their language on the Indians. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The Dutch only arrived in 1626 ti buy the Island of Manhattan for approximately $24.00!</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="font-size:large;"><strong>The Legend of Corn Hair</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">When Henry Hudson, in September 1609, sailed north he encountered a peaceful tribe know to History as the "Stockbridge Indians."</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The Dutch built a profitable trade with the Indians using  watered rum in return for beaver pelts. One of the traders was Jacob Van Mord. He recorded some of the legends of the Indians.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">He was especially interested in the tale of Warriors in Long Boats an old Indian legend. The fiercest of whom was their leader called "Corn Hair," by the Indians. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">In 1743, when the Dutch tried to convert the tribe to Christianity, they refused. He reported to his superiors that the Pagan beliefs of the tribe, which was called the "Tribe of the Long Boat" were still very strong. They were afraid that the Vikings would return again and punish them if they left the Norse Pagan Gods for Christianity.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Little is know about the fierce Viking Warriors who so impressed the Indians. Only a few Rune Mysteries were found on the rocks, but no official authorities have tried to look into the rock inscriptions to find the  true source of the Legends. But you can on the Net. I am leaving you good key words so you can do your own research.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="font-size:large;"><strong>Rune Mysteries New Jersey</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">In Pemberton,  New Jersey, an inscribed stone axehead was found. A literal translation of the runes found on it would be "The Swedes took out Charter." Again there was no investigation.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center"><span style="color:#0000ff;"><span style="font-size:large;"><strong>Rune Mysteries Rhode Island</strong></span></span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Rhode Island has a tower in Newport that has been the object of controversy for years. The official finding from the politically correct is that it is a flour mill.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">But the Runic Inscription and the fact that it resembles no other structure in America, but resemble structures in Norway, lends proof that it is probably a small fortress lighthouse built by the Vikings.</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[
Legend of Corn Hair
Reider Serwin, who wrote &#8220;The Viking Red Man&#8221; traced more than 1,00]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:left;">
<strong>Legend of Corn Hair</strong></p>
<p>Reider Serwin, who wrote "The Viking Red Man" traced more than 1,000 words in the Mohawk, Iroquois and Algonquin language to old Norse. Long before the Dutch infused their language on the Indians.<br />
The Dutch only arrived in 1626 ti buy the Island of Manhattan for approximately $24.00!</p>
<p><strong>The Legend of Corn Hair</strong></p>
<p>When Henry Hudson, in September 1609, sailed north he encountered a peaceful tribe know to History as the "Stockbridge Indians."</p>
<p>The Dutch built a profitable trade with the Indians using  watered rum in return for beaver pelts. One of the traders was Jacob Van Mord. He recorded some of the legends of the Indians.</p>
<p>He was especially interested in the tale of Warriors in Long Boats an old Indian legend. The fiercest of whom was their leader called "Corn Hair," by the Indians.</p>
<p>In 1743, when the Dutch tried to convert the tribe to Christianity, they refused. He reported to his superiors that the Pagan beliefs of the tribe, which was called the "Tribe of the Long Boat" were still very strong. They were afraid that the Vikings would return again and punish them if they left the Norse Pagan Gods for Christianity.</p>
<p>Little is know about the fierce Viking Warriors who so impressed the Indians. Only a few Rune Mysteries were found on the rocks, but no official authorities have tried to look into the rock inscriptions to find the  true source of the Legends. But you can on the Net. I am leaving you good key words so you can do your own research.</p>
<p><strong>Rune Mysteries New Jersey</strong></p>
<p>In Pemberton,  New Jersey, an inscribed stone axehead was found. A literal translation of the runes found on it would be "The Swedes took out Charter." Again there was no investigation.</p>
<p><strong>Rune Mysteries Rhode Island</strong></p>
<p>Rhode Island has a tower in Newport that has been the object of controversy for years. The official finding from the politically correct is that it is a flour mill.</p>
<p>But the Runic Inscription and the fact that it resembles no other structure in America, but resemble structures in Norway, lends proof that it is probably a small fortress lighthouse built by the Vikings.</p>

<description><![CDATA[1961: First American in space – the Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gargarin orbited Earth to become the fir]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">1961: First American in space</span></strong> – the Soviet cosmonaut <em>Yuri Gargarin</em> orbited Earth to become the first human in space, stoking concern about US inferiority. A series of exploded NASA rockets underscored a sense of gloom. <em>Alan Shepard</em>’s flight aboard his <strong>Freedom 7</strong> capsule reinvigorated the US space program and national pride. Less than a year later, <em>John Glenn</em> made America’s first orbital flight.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">1965: First US spacewalk</span></strong> – Astronaut <em>Ed White</em> floated out the hatch of the <strong>Gemini 4</strong> capsule on June 3, 1965 for what he called “the greatest experience”, the first US spacewalk.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">1967: First NASA tragedy</span></strong> – America’s first space tragedy occurred right here on Earth when astronauts <em>Gus Grissom</em>, <em>Ed White</em> and <em>Roger Chaffee</em> were running through training exercises atop a NASA launch pad in Florida when an accidental fire ripped through the <strong>Apollo 1</strong> spacecraft. The three men died from smoke inhalation, delivering a tremendous setback to the space agency’s moon program. NASA fixed the problem and returned to spaceflight, a pattern it would repeat following the <strong><em>Challenger</em></strong><em> tragedy</em> in 1986 and the <strong><em>Columbia</em></strong><em> tragedy</em> in 2003.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">1969: First moon landing</span></strong> – <em>“The Eagle has landed”</em> Spoken by astronaut <em>Neil Armstrong</em> from the surface of the moon on July 20, 1969, made it look as if Americans could accomplish just about anything they put their minds to. As Armstrong climbed out of the <strong>Eagle</strong> and onto the lunar surface, his words rang true around the world: <strong>“That’s one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind.”</strong></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">1973: First US space station</span></strong> – The Soviet beat the U.S. in the race to put a science lab in space with the launch of <strong><em>Salyut 1</em></strong> in 1971, but NASA followed with <strong>Skylab</strong> in 1973. Soviet and U.S. space officials later decided to collaborate on long-duration space research, a partnership that includes experiments aboard the international space station.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">1967: First U.S. probe on Mars</span></strong> – The <strong>Viking </strong>landers touched down on the surface of Mars in the summer of 1976 and opened the world’s eyes to another planet. The biological findings were inconclusive; the Viking mission set the stage for generation of orbiters, landers and rovers to come.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">1981: First space shuttle flight</span></strong> – Commander <em>John Young</em> and pilot <em>Robert Crippen</em> opened a new era of human spaceflight at NASA with the successful launch of space shuttle <strong>Columbia</strong><strong> </strong>on April 12, 1981 from Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The shuttle program never lived up to its promise of frequent and low-cost launches; it has been a remarkable workhorse.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">1990: First light for Hubble</span></strong> – April 25 was the day the space shuttle gave space science one of its biggest gifts: deployment of the <strong>Hubble Space Telescope. </strong>Three years later, NASA launched an ambitious rescue mission to outfit the space telescope with corrective lenses, marking the agencies most successful comeback. NASA is planning one more service call to the aging telescope, a shuttle mission that could keep the eye in the sky operating for at least another five years.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">1997: First road trip on Mars</span></strong> – NASA’s Mars <strong>Sojourner</strong> rover, part of the Mars Pathfinder mission was the first robotic rover to roll on the Red Planet. The investigations conducted by the “first interplanetary robotic geologist,” as Sojourner became known, revealed hints about Mars’ volcanic and watery past. Sojourner’s successors, <strong><em>Spirit </em></strong>and <strong><em>Opportunity</em></strong> continue to explore the planet up to date.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><strong><span style="color:#339966;">2000: First crew for international space station</span> </strong>– Nov. 22, a <strong><em>Soyuz</em></strong> spacecraft delivered two Russians and an American commander to the international space station, launching an ongoing permanent human presence in space. The <strong>Expedition 1</strong> crew members, NASA’s <em>William Shepherd</em> and Russia’s <em>Sergei Krikalev</em> and <em>Yuri Gidzenko</em>, spent four months aboard the station. Construction of the station is continuing with the last pieces scheduled for delivery in 2010.</p>

<description><![CDATA[Rune Mysteries Massachusetts

More about Viking Hidden Secrets and how they discovered America Long ]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center"><span style="font-size:large;">Rune Mysteries Massachusetts</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;" align="center">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">More about Viking Hidden Secrets and how they discovered America Long before Columbus.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">In the Icelandic Book "Life of Joseph Brant Thayen Danegea" There are many accurate accounts of Icelandic Records of the 10, 11, 12, and 13th Centuries. The Book begins with a comment about Leif Ericson's landing in America. When Leif first landed, they built houses to winter in. They called the first place Leifsbuthir (Leif's Booths.)</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">They soon discovered vines and called the country Vineland or Wineland. This first settlement was at the head of Narragansett Bay.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The book continues: In 1007, three ships sailed from Greenland to Vineland. lThe Captains were Thorfinn Karl Sefne, Snorre Thorbrandson and Thor Wand Thor Hall. The three ships carried 160 men and domestic animals. The place where they spent the winter is now known as Martha's Vineyard. Future explorations were made to the South as far as Florida. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">The "Dighton Rock" with it's Runic Inscriptions, was found in Fall River, Massachusetts. It tells the story that a settlement was formed by the Northmen at Fall River in the Tenth Century. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">Also in Massachusetts, one of the most amazing relics of antiquity ever discovered  was found. It was the remains of a human body, armed with a breastplate, mail and arrows of brass. The body was buried in a sitting position. Runic Inscriptions on stones found by the grave. </span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">In Cape Cod there have been discoveries of  90 relics pertaining to this Norse Settlement. There is a boulder with a Runic Inscription: "Leif's Iriksunarey" which means "Leif Erickson's Island." and "Thirtikirmeu" which means "Thirty men."</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">A few miles north of Worcester is a possible site of a Viking Ship birth was uncovered. Fred Brown who discovered it cannot get any of the politically correct archaeologists to examine it.</span></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0;">
<p style="margin-bottom:0;"><span style="font-size:medium;">There is an urgent need to research this and many other sites before the evidence is lost forever. Why won't the Smithsonian do it?</span></p>

<description><![CDATA[So the bailout didn&#8217;t pass.  Don&#8217;t ask me what that means in the long run; I&#8217;m no]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So the bailout didn't pass.  Don't ask me what that means in the long run; I'm not financier.  I'm not even very good at balancing my checkbook.  However, I've got some theories, I have a laptop and I have a blog, so here goes:</p>
<p>George W. Bush, Jr. is a very, very bad president.  He's lousy at it, in fact, but that's not the point.  Bush is a lousy president, but <em>he's a fantastic Viking</em>!</p>
<p>Think about it:  in the time of the Vikings, you had the head-of-the-league-boards, MVV (Most Valuable Viking) squads and you had the remedial, "special" raider parties.  Bush would have been at the front of the MVV list.  He knows, better than any Viking save possibly Eric the infamous Red, the steps of true Vikinging-ing:  Pillage before you burn.</p>
<p>People have joked that Bush is hellbent (ha) on bringing forth the Democralypse.  I think they're *almost* right.</p>
<p>In the 8 years that our Own Personal Oil Baron™ has been Commander-in-Chief, he's done an amazing number of things that seem woefully wrong-headed if you don't have the mind of a destroyer.  First, the war.  He picked a fight with the kid we weren't quite getting on with at the time.  Why?  Because the kid said his daddy could beat up Georgie's daddy (and did, when they tried to blow him up).  So when someone egged our fearful leader's house (using eggs cleverly designed as jet planes), he decided to blame it on the neighborhood bully.  Because the way to become the bully is to call out the bully, right?  Right.  So he blows up some orphans, some sick kids and a few wedding parties and manages to hit some insurgents while he's at it, but the important thing is that <strong><em>he managed to create more insurgents than he killed</em></strong>.  This gives him a retroactive reason for a proactive strike.  A clearer example might be this:</p>
<blockquote><p>You live in an area with hard-to-find grizzly bears and easy-to-find rattle snakes.</p>
<p>A lethal creature of some sort mauls your mother, leaving her decapitated and covered in claw marks.</p>
<p>You, obviously, deduce that she was killed by all those snakes hanging around.</p>
<p>You poke the snake pit with a sharp, pokey stick.</p>
<p>A few rattle snakes rear their heads and bite your ass.</p>
<p>You chop the head off of one or two, ignoring the fact that you've stirred up the entire nest because obviously you've solved the problem.  You chopped the head off the biggest snake (which looks suspiciously like the pet rattler you introduced to this den about 25 years ago...) and the one or two that bit first; the others, now pissed and coming for you, are immaterial.  In the meantime, you call your brother in another state to see if he's heard whether anyone has possibly seen a bear that may or may not have anything to do with the snakes that obviously mauled and decapitated your mom.</p></blockquote>
<p>See the logic?  In the meantime, while he's out poking snakes, the price of oil goes sky high -- which is fantastic if you're a Texas oil baron, but not much fun if you're a single parent of three working 2 jobs 16 hours a day while still trying to drive your sprogs to their character-forming extra-curriculars.</p>
<p>Congratulations!  Your bombing has set in motion your pillaging.  People are so worried about whether Osama bin Hussein Saladdindam is going to kill them in the middle of the night, they won't notice that you're robbing them blind.  You'll be fine!  Don't worry about the plebes -- just try not to take TreasureBaths™ in front of the commoners.</p>
<p>Now comes the best part -- it's time to burn.</p>
<p>Here's the thing:  historically, a war has been initially tough on the economy, but sometimes a war can kick a sluggish economy in the butt and get it moving.  But if you do it right -- which is to say WRONG -- you can kick it in the balls instead and get it into a nice, manageable fetal position.</p>
<p>Good job, Mr. President.  Damn. Good. Job.</p>
<p><em>And thank Jesus or your deity of choice for executive branch term limits.</em></p>

Part 2

No matter where you live in a sma]]></description>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>How to Use Quantum Physics<br />
To Build Your Own Sacred Spaces<br />
Part 2<br />
</strong><br />
No matter where you live in a small apartment, a house or a large farm, you can build a protected Sacred Space for your Spiritual meditation and workings.</p>
<p>To start define your personal place within this Sacred Space. Where will you be positioned to do your meditations and rituals?</p>
<p>I have may favorite leather recliner in my living room. That is where I sit when I do all my Rune work, my rituals and my meditations. I always sit there with pencil and paper because many of my writing ideas come to me at that time.</p>
<p>I am married, so I get up at 4 AM for my meditations and Rituals and leave my wife and dog asleep. You need to be alone free from all other mental energies other than your own.</p>
<p>This is what it is all about. Learning how to use the Laws of Mental Radionics. This is the Law that allows you to enter the Quantum Ocean, the Mind of God and abstract the manifested energies that exist there and bring them into your own physical reality.</p>
<p>It is much like a painter dipping his brush into the various colors to apply them to his canvas.  You will dip your mind into the infinite ocean of intelligent, living energy called the Quantum Ocean to paint on your Canvas of Life.</p>
<p>Once I am settled in my chair and relaxed, I use my creative imagination to visualize the boundaries of my domain. I visualize the front of the house (North) where the porch and drive way are. Then behind me the South, green grass and trees for 50 yards. East, is the  rear of the house. Our parking lot and our flower and vegetable garden are there. West is the next door neighbor's house.</p>
<p>This is my Domain. You can use any form of protection you like at this time to surround your domain. I choose the Runes. I visualize four ten foot Thorn Runes for Protection. I mentally see them glowing at the N. S. E. and W. edges of my domain. Then I connect them with white energetic light going clockwise from North back to North.</p>
<p>It only takes a minute to do this. Every time I visualize this protective Thorn ring around my Domain. I am pulling energies out of the Quantum Ocean into this Protective Ring and re-enforcing it. My Master used to say it was like drawing  an etching of the Thorn Runes on a piece of glass.  Slowly by surely it will be permanently etched onto the glass.</p>
<p>Be in no hurry, but do be persistent. Every day, day after day. Life is lived one day at a time.  And repetition is heaven's first law.</p>
<p>Once you have your sacred place built and protected you can start to invite your inner circle into it.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><strong>Rune Mysteries Arizona<br />
Viking Gold Miners<br />
</strong><br />
There is a chapter "Lost Viking Mines and Mystery Ship" from the book "Buried Treasure Guide." It tells of an Indian legend told about the area of Red Rock, Arizona, just northeast of Tuscon.</p>
<p>An Old Indian Medicine Man said that there were several rich mines in the Red Rock area. They were worked by a band of tall, fierce, red-bearded white men several hundred years before the first Spanish Conquistadors.</p>
<p>He said, " A group of fierce, white warriors in strange costumes came into the land, brandished spears and battle axes. They killed many of our brothers. These invaders screamed and roared in battle. Our weapons were useless - they were protected by metal shirts.” There are many Rune inscriptions on rocks in this area to prove the truth of this legend.</p>
<p><strong>Evidence South of the Border:</strong></p>
<p>The Aztecs spoke of White Gods coming down the river in Dragon Ships. They were tall bearded and wore winged helmets. You can see the Vikings in the Aztec pictographs.<br />
<strong><br />
Rune-Mysteries in Argentina:</strong></p>
<p>There is a great deal of evidence in Argentina of Vikings being there. Blond mummies, warriors with horned helmets, linguistic parallels between native tongues and Scandinavian and Runes, Runes, Runes!</p>
<p>There are the records of the death of three Augustine Monks in a South American mission which was begun in 1356. Their original monastery was in Greenland. The records are still in the Vatican archives.</p>
<p>The Medina Stone, from Tucuman, Argentina has Runic Inscriptions. It shows the mixture of Christian and Pagan Religion still present in the exploring Vikings. It Reads:</p>
<p>"Christ over the arrows of Wotan and Thor in Land, Pagan Land of Brasis Ur Island of Noerr." We cannot simply read it like we do. But it is Viking and dates to thirteenth Century.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Amon Amarth - Valhall Awaits Me : Fan Klip</p>
<p>Yüzleri kana boyanmış vikingler… Savaş nâraları atıp kılıçlarını göğe kaldıran korkusuz bir grup savaşçı. Kadim  ormanın eteğinde, yeşil çimenlerin kırmızıya çalındığı bir düzlükte çarpışıyorlar. İçlerinden biri düşen yoldaşının baltasını alıyor eline. Korkusuz ve donuk yüzü ile saldırıyor düşmanına. En ufak bir tereddüt göstermeden siliyor yüzündeki kanı eliyle. Artık cansız kalmış bedene tükürüyor. Boynunda taşıdığı Odin’in simgesini sıkıca tutup, gözünü yine düşmanına çeviriyor. Ve vikingler , bastıkları kampta yaşayan tek bir canlı bırakmamacasına saldırıyorlar. Küçük bir bebek anne sütü yerine tadıyor demirin soğuk yüzünü. Ve bir annenin çığlıkları yırtıyor karmaşayı…</p>
<p>Yorulan bir kuzeyli , belindeki boynuzdan içerken birasını kana kana , bir kurt beliriyor doğu ufkunda. Tepede uluyan kurt , var gücüyle koşmaya başlıyor savaşa , ve tüm gözler o tarafa dönüyor. Barbarlar için korku , kamp alanındakiler için umut oluyor bu. Ve tepede mavi bir bayrak görünüyor , üstlerine saldıran kurdun silueti işlenmiş bayrağa. Ve ardından yüz ok birden salınıyor barbarlara doğru…</p>
<p>Valhall awaits me, when I die<br />
Bearskin on my back<br />
Wolfjaw on my head<br />
Valhall awaits me, when I’m dead!</p>
<p>Ve bunlar oluyor yerdeki son vikingin…<br />
Son sözleri…</p>

A long, long time ago there was a dwelling, perhaps a fortification positioned there. The house, at nearly the bottom of the hill, probably served the castle. At the house is a well and a lane, although overgrown, it is just passable, the lane runs up from the house to Helstone Ring, which is also known as the beacon this may because it commands strategic high ground, set back from the coast, but, not quite on the moor, which it overlooks.<span>  </span>It would be an ideal place to position a warning beacon, if marauding Vikings or invaders were coming from the coast. The panoramic view from the Ring is Breathtaking, In the North you can see the coast, to the West you look deep into Kernow and the Clay pit mounds break the skyline, to the South and East you look over Bodmin Moor and across to Rough Tor and Brown Willy, the highest point on the Moor.<span>  </span>This morning, in the early haunting mist and golden rising sun, it looked like another mystical land, definitely a place where great battles could be won and lost.<span>  </span>The ring itself consists of a few tumbled granites, a circular mound, and a crown of gorse, which if you know what you’re looking for can be seen from miles around.<span>  </span>This is a deserted place visited only by a few moor land sheep, Cornish eagles (Buzzards) and skylarks that live in the grass around, who rise whenever you approach to announce your arrival, to whom I often wonder. There is certainly a mystical emotion that comes over you when you enter the ring and I certainly know that there is no better place for contemplation and consideration when chewing over life’s dilemmas than inside the granite circle.  </span></span><em><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:small;">A little contemplation goes a long way……….......</span></span></em></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://niflgard.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/18-folk.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1035" title="18-folk" src="http://niflgard.wordpress.com/files/2008/09/18-folk.jpg" alt="" width="95" height="666" /></a>Det finnes en rik underskog av variasjoner folk, noe som skyldes alle de lokale formene for folkemusikk som daterer helt tilbake til før-kristen tid. I tillegg kombineres disse med ulike former for metal som doom, black og thrash. Det kan låte likt med umiddelbar gjennomhøring, men er altså ulike former for metal. Bandene er likevel gruppert etter opphav for folk-influensene. Folk band opplever ofte at de blir ignorert i hjemlandet, samtidig som de opplever stor suksess i utlandet. Eksempler på dette kan være det nord-engelske bandet <strong>Skyclad</strong>, som til tross for manglende oppmerksomhet i hjemme, holdes høyt i hevd i sentral-Europa og Sør-Amerika. Merkelig kanskje, men for utlendinger representerer det noe eksotisk å høre urtoner fra andre land. Hvilket nettopp er grunnlaget for Worldmusikkens suksess.</p>
<p>Likevel er folk metal av mange sett på som en gimmick, eller en pussig mote som vil blåse over, tross bandenes iherdige forsøk på å fusjonere sin musikalske kulturarv med musikken de liker best. Dette synet står i skarp kontrast til de mange kritikkene som hyller bandenes dyktighet og vilje til å utforske og sprenge grenser. Dette gjelder gjerne <strong>Skyclad</strong>, <strong>Waylander</strong>, <strong>Cruachan</strong>, tidlig <strong>Vintersorg</strong>, <strong>Finntroll</strong> og <strong>Elvenking</strong>. Folkemusikkens popularitet er nedadgående i mange vestlige land, og bandene ønsker å ivareta noe av essensen og øke interessen for nasjonens kulturelle røtter. Sammen med såkalt 'battle metal', ser interessen for folk metal å ha gjenoppstått, etter først å ha vært gjenstand for hån i mange år. Fascinasjonen over vikingenes og kelternes kultur har riktignok aldri gått helt av moten, og eksponentene for disse har vært skånet for den generelle misnøyen. <strong>Bathory</strong> var nok det første bandet som introduserte viking-tematikk i musikken med albumet 'Hammerheart'. Også i Asia har populariteten økt, gjennom den relativt nye stilen vedisk metal, som har latt seg inspirere av gammel indisk filosofi.</p>
<p><strong>Skyclad</strong> er utvilsomt sjangerens opphav, men oppnådde ikke suksess før fans oppdaget dem sammen med <strong>Cruachan</strong>, <strong>Otyg</strong> og <strong>Windir </strong>mot slutten av nittitallet. Øst-Europa har også sine tradisjoner med <strong>Graveland</strong> og <strong>Nokturnal Mortum</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Viking metal</strong><br />
Benyttes gjerne som en referanse til band som ikke deler det musikalske aspektet, ettersom de dekker en mengde av ulike sjangre. Folk metal, death metal, black metal og i noen eksempler powermetal. Røttene kan spores tilbake til <strong>Bathory</strong>, som mixet black metal med norrøne temaer som krig og religion. Sjangeren har ingen fellestrekk utenom hedenske germaniske verdier og kultur, og dens aversjon mot kristendommen. De aller fleste bandene er av skandinavisk eller tysk opphav, og identifiserer seg med hedenskap eller Åsatro. Episk og romantisk i forhold til den opprinnelige folketroen, og skaper en atmosfære som kan lenkes opp mot germansk heroisme. Noen prominente utøvere ved siden av Bathory inkluderer <strong>Enslaved</strong>, <strong>Asmegin</strong>, <strong>Sorgsvart</strong>, <strong>Kampfar</strong>, <strong>Moonsorrow</strong>, <strong>Helheim</strong>, <strong>Glittertind</strong>, <strong>Amon Amarth</strong>, <strong>Ensiferum</strong>, <strong>Storm</strong>, <strong>Einherjer</strong>, <strong>Falkenbach</strong>, <strong>Thyrfing</strong>, <strong>Windir</strong>, <strong>Týr</strong>, <strong>Unleashed</strong> og <strong>Ultima Thule</strong>, samt tidlig <strong>Vintersorg</strong> og <strong>Borknagar</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>Orientalsk metal</strong><br />
En crossover av death og doom, inspirert av gamle jødiske tradisjoner og orientalsk kultur. Utviklet seg i Israel, hvor band begynte å sette musikk til jødiske tragedier og bibelske historier. Tradisjonelle instrumenter og sang ble innlemmet i de seige riffene og ga en atmosfære av gripende og apokalyptisk musikk. De mest kjente eksportørene av denne ukjente sjangeren er de Israelske bandene <strong>Salem</strong> og <strong>Orphaned Land</strong>. Amerikanske <strong>System of a Down</strong> inkorporerer folk-elementer i musikken sin.</p>
<p><strong>Huumpa metal</strong><br />
En ganske fersk sjanger som henter sin inspirasjon fra de trolske finske skoger og dertil hørende middelaldersk krigføring. Disse finske bandene har hjulpet til med å popularisere det engelskmenn kaller 'battle metal', som egentlig er intet mer enn en crossover for band som spiller episk krigsmetall (som ikke må forveksles med undersjangeren av death). <strong>Korpiklaani</strong>, <strong>Finntroll</strong> og <strong>Turisas</strong> er gode eksempler. Elementer fra den norske black metalen møter finsk/russisk ompa og polka - sammen med tekster og temaer fra folkeeventyrene.</p>
<p><strong>Keltisk metal</strong><br />
Fokuset er på den keltiske og gæliske mytologien, og har en stor skare av undergrunns-entusiaster i Irland. <strong>Waylander</strong>, <strong>Primordial</strong>, <strong>Cruachan</strong> og <strong>Geasa</strong> selger godt i den nord-britiske regionen.</p>
<p><strong>Vedisk metal</strong><br />
Den vediske sjangeren har sitt publikum i sør- og sørøst Asia, og henter sitt fokus fra de vediske skrifter og filosofi. Bandet <strong>Rudra</strong> fra Singapore pionerte sjangeren på sent nittitall, og har fått følge av ukrainske <strong>Aryadeva</strong>, indonesiske <strong>Symmetry</strong>, indiske <strong>Warriors of Peace</strong>, <strong>Aryan March</strong> og <strong>Asura</strong>, samt en rekke andre i området.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://adblues.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/50_nasa.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-314" style="margin:5px;" title="50_nasa" src="http://adblues.wordpress.com/files/2008/10/50_nasa.jpg" alt="" width="146" height="205" /></a>Oggi ricorre il 50esimo compleanno dell'agenzia spaziale americana, la mitica NASA.</p>
<p>Non che la NASA sia la migliore agenzia spaziale, il sovietici prima e la Russia poi hanno dimostrato nel tempo di non essere secondi a nessuno, nè sotto il piano tecnologico e nemmeno su quello scientifico. Ricordiamo infatti la lunga lista di primati che l'agenzia sovietica detiene alla faccia del "cugini" americani: il primo satellite: lo Sputnik, il primo essere vivente nello spazio: la cagnetta Laika, il primo uomo nello spazio: Yurj A. Gagarin, la prima passeggiata spaziale: Alexey Leonov, la prima stazione spaziale permanente: la Mir, e così via.</p>
<p>Ma rimane immutato il fatto che, nel mio immaginario di bambino, come in quello di tantissimi bambini di oggi, la NASA era "l'esplorazione spaziale", solo in età più avanzata ho saputo come stavano effettivamente le cose ed ho scoperto che loro non erano certo nè i migliori nè i leader.</p>
<p>La NASA comunque ancora oggi detiene grandissimi primati: su tutti spicca l'esplorazione umana della Luna con il programma <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_program" target="_blank">Apollo</a>; per chi fosse interessato, soprattutto per i non tecnici segnalo la magnifica serie televisiva <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_the_Earth_to_the_Moon_(miniseries)" target="_blank">"Dalla Terra alla Luna"</a>, prodotta da Tom Hanks che in guisa di telefilm ripropone l'entisiasmante cammino che portò l'umanità a scendere sulla Luna insieme a Neil Armstrong quella notte del 20 Luglio del 1969.</p>
<p>Come poi non ricordare l'entusiasmante primo volo dello Shuttle <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Columbia" target="_blank">Columbia </a>o i ben più tragici momenti delle esplosioni del <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Challenger" target="_blank">Challenger </a>e del <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_Shuttle_Columbia" target="_blank">Columbia </a>stesso o ancora l'incendio di <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apollo_1" target="_blank">Apollo I</a>?</p>
<p>A tutti quelli che hanno perso la loro vita inseguendo un sogno di conoscenza, a tutti coloro che vi lavorano oggi e che vi hanno lavorato in passato rendendo possibili con la loro immaginazione e capacità le meravigliose imprese come quella dell'Apollo o delle sonde <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Viking_program" target="_blank">Viking </a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pioneer_program" target="_blank">Pioneer</a> e <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_program" target="_blank">Voyager</a> dedico questo post ringraziandoli per la conoscenza e le emozioni che ci hanno dato.</p>
