Seven Spirits of Revelation: Seven Other Spirits More Wicked: Worse
Seven Spirits of God (Law) in Revelation?seven lamps of fire burning: seven horns: seven eyes?
"the seven", of an arnion Lamb, seven other spirits more wicked,
re-turn with unclean spirit to make last [state] of that man worse:
a prophecy of Son of man: Lord also of the Sabbath made for man.
The Problem: Sacrifice = Sin Consciousness Not Purged.
Result: awful lawful God becomes was, but is not, yet is.
Related: the 'arnion' Lamb Bites and Smites Greeting: Revelation 1:4-6
Another Law produces concupiscence: last [state] worse: More the Child.
The Author of Revelation is Paul. It is as if a black Sabbath made for man.
Holy Kiss: Greeting: Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Revelations of Revelation Page 9: a Revelation (InSight) about The Revelation (Uncovering) of John # 27
Seven Spirits of Revelation? Seven Spirits of God (Law)?
seven lamps of fire burning before the throne? seven horns? seven eyes? of vengeful arnion Lamb slain?Seven Spirits, "the seven", are the "seven other spirits more wicked"
Revelation 1:4
John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace [be] unto you, and peace,
from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne
Revelation 3:1
And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God,
and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
Revelation 4:5
And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices:
and [there were] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.
Revelation 5:6
And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb
as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth.
returned with the unclean spirit due to sin consciousness not purged.
Unpurged conscience is by another law, instead of grace void of law. Blood shed (sacrifice) only purges "almost all things", not all: Heb 9.
Sacrifice (blood shed), which true God will not have, is "by the law".
It is evident that in the sight of God no man is justified "by the law".
God said let us make child/man. Godly man puts away childish laws.
Christ (the end of law) is the head of every child/man, not child-ren.
Matthew 12:43-45 (Luke 11:24-26)When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth [it] empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last [state] of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.
(by Son of man: Lord also of the Sabbath made for man can have a last state worse if double-minded)
(note: that man in James 1 is double-minded: unstable if he doesn't put away law to be rid of sin consciousness)
(note: the first allegorically refers to "the first" law, and the last refers to "the second" law in Matthew 22:36-40)
To begin our discussion of seven Spirits of God thrice mentioned in Revelation, let's first consider Paul is the Author of Revelation, not John; For John is still a kNOW not servant in Revelation 1:1, to whom it's sent. Paul sign-ifies Revelation with his token (ticket to higher heaven) in every epistle, including Revelation. Revelation is hand signed by Paul, also mentioned thrice in Pauline Epistles. As such Revelation is allegorically seven things:
- an epistle of Paul having his hand signed token at the end as the end to endure unto to be saved
- an allegorical final exam of the Bible, as if a 'test' of endurance called "holiness with sobriety"
- a maze of smoke and mirrors and allegoric sevens, as if navigating through the best of spam
- a Sabbath made for double-minded man to have a last state worse via Son of man as "Lord also"
- law prophecy that's designed to fail by not being sealed, as if wrath to come not appointed to us
- a Pauline spoof on John, by Paul, for John turning back to law like a dog to his own vomit
- a spoof on Peter (called Satan) who got chained in jail for a thousand year day called Easter
A discussion of seven Spirits, also found in commentary on a perverted greeting: Revelation 1:4-6, notes the greeting begins with the first part of Paul's holy kiss greeting (Grace unto you, and peace), but then gets johnny law dog perverted, as if John's greeting is from the unclean spirit removed who is returning with seven other spirits more wicked. The result in both Matthew 12: 43-45 and Luke 11: 24-26 is the last state of that man (double-minded) worse (twofold more the child of hell). If last state were better it would child/man. For then it would be the blessedness of man: better blessed the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin; and no fear of having a last state worse. Christ is the head of every child/man. The moral of such is sin (law) no more, lest your last state: man of child/man be worse instead of better. Also learn to recognize a fraud masquerading it's perverted grace and false peace unto you, such as in the greeting in Revelation 1:4 from him which is, and was, and which is to come and from seven Spirits which are before his throne; As if there's Grace and peace from such law law. Not. For grace that is not merciful is also not peaceful, thereby not from true God. For God is not [the author] of confusion (unrest), but of peace (rest). Pure wisdom from God above is first peaceable of seven things His Grace is in James 3:17:
1. Peace-able (not false peace followed by sudden destruction)
2. Gentle (upbraideth not, not a sharp twoedged sword bites and smites )
3. Easy to be intreated (not hard to swallow nor bitter when swallowed)
4. Full of mercy (merciful = perfect = no sacrifice at all) - midst
5. Full of good fruits (Galatians 5, against such there is no law)
6. Without partiality (no respect of persons with God, nor with Son of God)
7. Without hypocrisy (no leaven, since a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump)
Many will say the seven Spirits in Revelation are the seven things mentioned in Isaiah 11:2; But1. Another Law (Concupiscence)
they say it as if it's a good (Godly) thing, not knowing the day of the LORD (LAW) is darkness:
1. the spirit of the LORD
2. the spirit of wisdom
3. and understanding
4. the spirit of counsel (purpose driven) - midst
5. and might
6. the spirit of knowledge
7. and of the fear of the LORD
Seven Spirits, if from Isaiah 11:2, have a "fear" ending, and "fear hath torment" is not peaceful. So let us learn God [is] a Spirit, one, not seven Spirits. Seven Spirits speak of last state of man being worse, not better; So of law, not grace. Law worketh wrath, not mercy. God hath not appointed us to wrath (law). Wrath produces fear. God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. So let us learn the common element in seven Spirits is Law, and another law is even more wicked, especially when man of child/man, for then it's greater damnation by being double-minded, which gives place to the resurrection of damnation:
2. Law of the Spirit (Spirit of Error)
3. Second Law (is like unto the first)
4. Law of God (which God of two) - midst
5. Royal Law (as if Royal "Dung")
6. Law of Liberty (Liberty to sin & die)
7. Perfect Law of Liberty (extinction)
seven Spirits? seven Spirits in Revelation? seven Spirits of God?The seven Spirits in Revelation are mentioned four times, like four horses (Daniel night mares) are mentioned; And as the rider on the last night mare is named: "death", the fourth mention of seven Spirits in Revelation 5:6 notably has the mention of a Lamb "slain". But the Lamb in Revelation is not the 'amnos' Lamb of God which taketh the sin of the world in John 1:29; Rather an 'arnion' Lamb (not of God) who bites angels and smites nations with a sharp twoedged swordy mouth. It is not the word of God. The word of God is sharper than any twoedged sword in Hebrews 4:12; And because in Psalms 149 a twoedged sword executes vengeance, punishments, chains, and fetters of such rod of iron rule of law, and in Proverbs 5 a sharp twoedged sword is the bitter end of whoring with a strange woman whose feet go down to death and her steps take hold on hell.
Also revealed about the fourth is what follows the named rider on the fourth night mare is hell. Such rings a hell bell in Matthew 23 wherein what's made is one proselyte. Such is twofold more the child of hell than those who sit in Moses's seat, whose house is left:
1. scribes and Pharisees
2. hypocrites
3. blind guides
4. fools (return to their folly: law) - midst
5. whited sepulchres
6. serpents
7. vipers
The common element in these is Law.
An interesting thing about being made a proselyte is twofold more the child of hell is that Nicolas, the seventh of seven chosen to serve tables (by a multitude of disciples following the new twelve) is a proselyte of Antioch: Acts 6:
1. Stephen, full of faith and of the Holy Ghost (first martyr)
2. Philip
3. Prochorus
4. Nicanor
5. Timon
6. Parmenas
7. Nicolas, a proselyte (twofold more the child of hell) of Antioch
There's nothing else mentioned about these other than about martyr Stephen and evangelist Philip. When "the seven" are listed, it's interesting that information is only given about the first and last, the first being full of it via the Holy Ghost, the last being a proselyte: twofold more the child of hell. So if a little leaven leaveneth the whole, Holy Ghost driven to martyr-dumb Stephen and hellish proselyte Nicolas effectively do this by allegorically sandwiching five others with law first and last. In comparison and contrast Paul The Apostle sandwiches his epistles with grace first and last.
Many might say good, the Lamb was slain (killed, slaughtered, butchered) for our ransom. But I say perhaps they haven't read, or didn't comprehend, "if one died for all, then were all dead". All dead is extinction. So pure religion paid a "visit", not a ransom, for ransom gives place to extortion; But exhortation gives place to up lifting unto understanding, not misunderstanding. Not to mention the will of God that JC came to do (Lo, I come to do thy will O God; thy will be done, on earth as in heaven; not my will but thy will be done) was: "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice", which is all mercy and no sacrifice at all, not both mercy + sacrifice, for such would be an oxy-moron with a bad ending. Contrary things cannot coexist in peace. He is our peace, who hath abolished the law, thereby abolished sacrifice which is notably "by the law".
Let's look at "seven Spirits" in Revelation, notably mentioned four times, but only of God thrice; And see what allegory clues are revealed:
I. Revelation 1:4 "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne"
II. Revelation 3:1 "And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars;"
III. Revelation 4:5 "And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God."
IV. Revelation 5:6 "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth."
Allegory clues about the seven Spirits:
- they are before his (him which is, and which was, and which is to come) throne
- one like (vengeful) Son of man (should repent) has the seven Spirits
- they proceed out of the throne (of Law) and are called seven Spirits (plural) of God
- they are seven lamps of fire burning before the throne
- they are seven horns of a slain Lamb
- they are seven eyes of a slain Lamb
Clues are given about seven Spirits of God (alias Law); For when it comes to Grace God, to the King (of Kings), the Lord (of Lords), the Holy (of Holies), to "God [is] a Spirit"(one), to being joined unto the Lord, to unity, etc, there is "one Spirit": 1Corinthians 6:17; 12:13; Ephesians 2:18; 4:4; Philippians 1:2. No compromise is made with law law. Christ "abolished" the law from his flesh (as if dung): Ephesians 2:15, and to the point of "blotting out" such ordinances: Colossians 2. Every law written in stone and ink is to be "done away": 2Corinthians 3, and to the point of what's old and faulty, even ready to vanish: Hebrews 8, shall vanish: 1Corinthians 13. For "God [is] a Spirit" (not Spirits), the sort of Spirit which cannot lie nor die; Incorruptible: can't even be tempted, so of foolish/wise, the wise sort, and of earthy/heavenly wisdoms the heavenly sort. Of this/that "the Lord" is now (of then/now) "that Spirit", one Spirit having many aspects. So of law/grace compared as lie/truth in John 1:17, the Spirit of grace is also the Spirit of truth in such things are an allegory.
Clues: Seven lamps of fire burning takes us to Exodus where Moses did light seven lamps of fire before the LORD. The point: law will burn you. Seven horns takes us to Joshua 6 and Jericho walls falling flat, where seven priests did blow seven horns. Seven eyes takes us to Zachariah 3 where upon one stone seven eyes. And he like unto the Son of man takes us to Ezekiel (where Son of man is pretty much against everyone), and to Matthew 25 (where Son of man is divisional), and to Luke 17 (where Son of man plans destruction for them all), and even to the non eternal Sabbath made for man (Son of Man is Lord also of this Sabbath). A Lamb slain takes us to Revelation 13 LAW<--Law and the foundation of the world of Law is all vanity and vexation of Spirit.
First mention of seven spirits collectively in the Bible is in Isaiah 11:2 which begins with the spirit of the LORD (the day of the LORD is darkness and not light: Amos 5:18) and ends with spirit of "fear" of the LORD; a bad ending since fear hath torment. And such fear, which is of the LORD, is only the "beginning" (not the end) of knowledge and wisdom. So it's law, not grace, which is to say darkness, not light. And when it comes to God is love, perfect love, then fear is cast out, by casting out the source of fear, which is law.
Such brings us to seven (other) spirits, mentioned as being "more wicked" in Matthew 12:45 and Luke 11:26. For if the unclean spirit, the spirit of fear (of death) is cast out of a body, but not the source of death: law (both source and strength of sin having a deadly sting: 1Corinthians 15:56), then such sin consciousness (knowledge of sin is by the law) not purged gives place for the unclean spirit to return again, along with seven other spirits more wicked. Perhaps such is the reason fear is now said to be epidemic among man kind, whose last state is worse, not better; And due to lawing himself to death, after being tormented all his life, by fear of death. Law is the root of all such. So law is the problem, not the solution. Law is both good and evil, which is a last state worse.
Such latter state being worse happens when a body cleansed, demonic fear cast out, but the body is not purged of sin (as pertaining to the conscience) which law and sacrifices cannot do (cannot totally purge the conscience of sin), as told us in Hebrews 9 & 10, which also speaks of taking away the first: law, in order to establish the second: grace; for until the testator is dead, it hath no force, kinda like a will stuck in probate is of no force until it is probated and testator is proven dead.
Such is the case of law law in Romans 8:2, where the second of such beasts gives place to the first, kinda like more the child of hell gives place to the child of hell in Matthew 23; and then the state of man is worse, not better. For the better sort of two laws is in "Christ Jesus", which is mirrorly the reverse of "Jesus Christ" (the only foundation laid to build on); Which is as bwd as LAW<--Law, which gives place to "the law of sin and death", not to mention it gives place to Rule of Law, and to "Law worketh Wrath". "God hath not appointed us unto (law worketh) wrath": 1Thessalonians 5:9. So let's not go there, to saying Peace and safety in law (worketh wrath), for what follows such non sense is sudden destruction, and notably the "not escape" sort of destruction: 1Thessalonians 5:3.
Rule of Law? Law worketh Wrath!
Law (Wrath) is Destructive; Not Constructive!
As evidence, we've seen the result of bwd safe<--safer talk of G.W. Bush, the result of imposition of his rod of iron 'rule of law'. Law causes confusion and chaos, not Peace and safety. Examples:
POPE John-Paul II:
- "the long tradition of sacrifice must continue in the third millennium" (Quote: Pope John Paul II: 1999).
Wrong on both counts. Sacrifice is what God will not have, and the third day is not millennial. So what followed his popish saying was a decade of nasty weather, 9/11, another war, and the death of John-Paul II, as if hell is what follows the death rider on the fourth night mare in Revelation, as if black Sabbath made for man who can have a last state worse.
POTUS George Bush Jr:
- "there shall be sacrifice" (Quote: President G.W. Bush II: 9/11)
What followed this was another war, a BIG WAVE from LAW worketh WRATH called a Tsunami in SE Asia, hurricanes x4 in Floridah, typhoons x4 in Japan, a devastating earthquake in Haiti, an air traffic stopping volcano in Iceland, floods galore in diverse places, worse flooding in Pakistan.
QUEEN Elizabeth:
- while visiting Canada, which was trying to be neutral, friendly, and grace us to the world, the queen mentioned 'rule of law'. The next day she was in the dark in a Horeb-bull heat wave; And Canada now has dreadful weather to the point of crop failures.
Clarity: such is not said to accuse (John 5:45) nor to condemn (John 3:17; 8:11) any, but rather only to bring more awareness and understanding to the situation, awareness that "we all are one". So it's a global matter. Our goal is not to play a blame game, but rather to play an awareness game.
Lesson: There is no peace nor safety in merciless law worketh wrath, nor any escape for them who say Peace and Safety in law worketh wrath: 1Thessalonians 5:3. So the objective is to leave both of them vs them, to go on unto the perfection of us-ward, which is neither of them vs them. For as in Adam (as in them: Genesis 5) all die. By the using of laws all perish, perish the thought.
Moral: His grace does not compromise with law, not with either of two laws in Romans 8:2. Rather when it comes to law, it gets "abolished" as the "enmity": Ephesian 2, and to the POINT of "blotting out" all "ordinances": Colossians 2. Every law, whether written in stone or ink is to be "done away": 2Corinthians 3, to the POINT of what's old, faulty, "ready to vanish": Hebrews 8, "shall vanish": 1Corinthians 13. There is ample evidence for such in every Pauline epistle, for they all conclude with grace only and no mention of law at all, as does Revelation (written by Paul):
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Dr. Ghassan Abboud believes that if a business is a good member of the community and helps those around it, success will follow—a philosophy he explained during his interview with Naperville Community Television, Channel 17. It was this approach—doing things such as helping people with financing and offering free dental care to those in need on certain days—that allowed Abboud to expand from one 1st Family Dental office in 1996 to 10 offices in the Chicagoland area.
1st Family Dental believes in providing all patients—insured and uninsured—with affordable, high-quality dental care in an appealing setting at the hands of friendly, talented doctors and staff. The practice's dentists have also helped draw in patients with their multiple awards, their credentials in everything from maxillofacial surgery to orthodontics to prosthodontics, and their refusal to use duct tape to attach crowns. Their cosmetic-dentistry services let clients revamp their smiles with Zoom! whitening treatments and let dental implants replace any missing teeth. The 1st Family Dental experts practice dentistry for the whole family, teaching young ones how to clean their teeth without having to smile while walking through a car wash.
The dentists at North Aurora Dental Associates?Drs. Melissa Ledwidge, Ingy Nessim, and Irbad Chowdhury?unite around a simple philosophy: there's no quick replacement for preventive dental care. It's simply a lifelong process, one they facilitate with rigorous exams and oral cancer screenings. The dentists assist with any maladies preventative care fails to prevent, too. They tackle rogue cavities, for instance, with cutting-edge air abrasion so non-invasive, it rarely requires an anesthetic shot or a distracting Magic Eye puzzle. Meanwhile, they conquer deeper-seated decay with root canals, and their nightguards protect against unconscious teeth grinding. The dentists tend to the aesthetics of smiles, too, with cosmetic treatments such as light-activated Zoom! whitening.
When he was a boy in the small town of Mount Olive, Illinois, Dr. David J. Rubis dreamed of being a dentist. Doggedly pursuing his goal, he graduated from Northwestern University Dental School in 1978 and opened his own practice. Years later, his son, Dr. Joseph Rubis, followed in his footsteps by joining a growing network of dental-care centers headed by Rubis pére. Now, as the network boasts 30 dentists working at 10 locations throughout Chicagoland, Advanced Family Dental & Orthodontics, PC, continues its founder's mission to provide the best care for patrons' teeth, gums, and crippling need to collect every color of complimentary toothbrush.
With hundreds of locations across the country, Right Dental Group represents a collection of oral-healthcare professionals who deliver a variety of quality dental services. The collective places an emphasis on relationship building—meaning patients can confess their most egregious toffee-apple trespasses while receiving a teeth scrubbing delivered with precision and understanding. Each of the dentists is prescreened for a consistent record of excellence and the ability to efficiently locate a cavity in a toothstack. A skilled doctor and staff will skillfully probe forgotten mouth corners, eradicating tartar and expunging plaque from bacterial lairs. The included x-rays will help uncover any oral problem areas that cannot be seen with the shamelessly naked eye. After treatment, clients will be privy to tips that explain the proper brushing and flossing techniques to ward off gum disease and tooth loss, ensuring tongue-stoppers remain firmly rooted to the rest of the skeletal system.
Led by the personable Carl Henley, DDS, the staff at Center For Dentistry promotes healthy, beautiful smiles using the latest in preventive and cosmetic technology. Staffers evict plaque and tartar with cleanings, treat periodontal disease, and whiten teeth stained by coffee, red wine, and a steady diet of silt. Patients can while away appointments by watching TV or listening to relaxing music before bouncing back to the outside world armed with smile-ier smiles.
Dr. Pope understands the general anxiety associated with dentistry, so he works closely with his patients to help them understand dental procedures and to make them comfortable. He honed his craft at the University of Illinois at Chicago and now draws on that knowledge while performing general, cosmetic, and surgical dental services. As a veteran of the U.S. Marine Corps, he also gives back by offering benefits to his fellow veterans. Besides employing the latest technology to foster pain-free treatments, he offers nitrous oxide sedation, which keeps patients in a conscious but deeply relaxed state.

This is a quote I have heard many times, and seen it in various forms as wall pictures. But never as cross stitch! So here it is!
Super easy to stich in just 3 collours, whole cross stitiches only (although I also added some metallic thread backstich in the glass to make the champagne sparkle!)
Should only take a couple of days to stitch this up, making it great as a last minute gift.
Well I'm a busy mum of two who has always cross stitched. I love creating my own designs!

Fair attendance tops 100,000
The Manitoba Summer Fair saw 100,192 visits during the course of the event.
Despite the beginning of the week being hampered by cold, wet weather, fair organizers say "a phenomenal Saturday and Sunday" helped them top the six-figure mark again this year.

Those daily visits were drawn not just by the midway rides, but also by acts like the West Coast Lumberjack Show, the Aussie Kingdom, the Xpogo Stunt Team and the Battle of the Bands.
Sunday, the final day of the fair, started with a pancake breakfast served to 500 in the newly restored Dome Building. The day continued with a couple other special events including Chrome in the Trees, with 140 classic cars and six bikes on display — the largest showing on record, according to coordinator Russ Dayman. Later, stands were packed for the demolition derby on the south end of the Keystone Centre grounds.
Meanwhile, at the Mayor's International Cup. Team Canada and Team Ukraine faced off in the championship game, with Team Canada coming out on top, 5–3. Team USA defeated Team Germany for the bronze.
After the game Yesid Calderon, Team Captain of Team Canada, said he was happy to have the opportunity to play in the tournament and wants to have the opportunity to play again. Fair organizers say they are satisfied with the first year of the tournament and are looking forward to growing the tournament for future years.
Next year's annual Manitoba Summer Fair, the 133rd, will take place June 3-7, 2015.

The battle carries on as world-famous artist Christo fights for approval to construct a temporary work of art that will suspend 5.9 miles of silvery, luminous fabric panels high above the Arkansas River, along a 42-mile stretch between Salida and Cañon City in south-central Colorado. Over the River has been on the drawing boards for 20 years now, with over $7 million of Christo's money invested into it with environmental studies, mock-ups, surveys from the air and wind tests.
In November, Christo received approval from the federal Bureau of Land Management, which owns 98 percent of the riverfront. This was a huge step forward in the project and now only a few more local permit approvals are standing in the way.

Together, BIG + Times Square Alliance + Flatcut + Local Projects and Zumtobel celebrates Valentines Day with a BIG red pulsating heart in the middle of Times Square, New York. The 10-foot-tall heart pulsates as the 400 transparent, LED lit, acrylic tubes sway in the wind. Once people touch the heart-shaped sensor, the light grows brighter and the pulse beats faster. Joining hands with more people will increase the intensity of the heart.
"The heart reflects what Times Square is made of: people and light – the more people, the stronger the light," Bjarke Ingels, Founder & Partner, BIG.

Architect Valentines
Architects are nothing if not romantic.
And, over the last few days, Architects across the world have stepped up and tweeted their affection. You can peer into their angsty souls by searching for the hashtag #architectvalentines on Twitter (which was started a few days ago by Bryant Turnage aka- @turnageb). Obviously, nothing says romance more than sleep deprivation and illusions of grandeur. So, this Valentines Day, we Architects are getting in touch with our sensitive side. Check out some of the softer sides of the profession HERE.
To commemorate the love-fest, I've assembled a few of mine and Bryant Turnage's quotes here. Feel free to print them out and give them to that special someone. And, please add your own in the comment section below, or tweet them with the hashtag #architectvalentines.
And, If you still need proof of the romantic inclinations of Architects, just ask "Architecture Ryan Gosling" (HERE).
Much love, & Happy Valentines, from the Architects.

VIDEO: Xian Expo / Plasma Studio + Groundlab, by Cristobal Palma
Photographer Cristobal Palma shared with us the extended version of his video of the Xi'an Expo, a project by Plasma Studio + GroundLab that we saw during several stages, from the award winning entry in 2009, to conceptual design and opening, when it was visited by more than 200,000 people on the first weekend.
The Expo embodies the idea of transformation as the site was formerly a sandpit where the water was severely degraded during the 1980s. Efforts over the past two decades have restored the ecosystem and now the Expo is able to demonstrate what can be accomplished through the use of the most advanced technology, ideas, and materials, as seen on the video. As we reported earlier, the 37 ha complex includes three buildings that are interconnected with a dynamic landscape of unfolding paths and networks of water, circulation and foliage.

Five things we learned in La Liga
Each week we will take a look at five things we learned from the weekend of La Liga action. This weekend, we pile through Real Madrid's defeat, while Atletico bounced back.
1. Madrid go into post-formation phase
It seemed likely that Real Madrid would miss the departed Xabi Alonso at some point this season, but few predicted the problem would become so obvious so soon. Blowing a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2 at Real Sociedad has turned the focus immediately onto how coach Carlo Ancelotti can re-find the ...

Having been downvoted 4 times for answering in
- http://serverfault.com/questions/169149/has-windows-xp-support-multiple-remote-login-session-rdp-at-a-time/169153#169153
that Windows XP supports multiple remote login sessions (the question did not mention RDP at the time of answering), I stayed confused and intrigued:
1) What are the cases/scenarios/examples when remote connections/sessions do not require logon (though as Anonymous user) in Windows?
Even if to speak about remote interactive logins, In everyday life I use multiple remote interactive logins to IIS (web) applications, shared folders (Windows Server Service), MS SQL Server.
Are not those interactive logins create login sessions?
What are the definitions for login/logon sessions?
What are definitions of login vs. logon?
The purpose of questions is to avoid misunderstanding in communication with colleagues and clients (but not subverting MS licensing)

The remedy for America's gravest economic woes may lie in a smart grid that can deliver vast amounts of clean, renewable energy while enhancing our energy security and democratizing our energy...
Roundtable: The Future Of Generation
The fastest and cheapest way to reduce carbon emissions - and also to lighten the load on the transmission grid - is to improve energy efficiency, with more efficient lighting, motors, air conditioning, and refrigeration.
Young, Exelon: Technology hasn't advanced as fast as it could, partly because we kept energy prices low in this country for a long time. As high as they seem today, they are still a relatively stable part of our economy. That has not encouraged investment in new technologies for conservation or load management.
But with $50-a-barrel oil and high gas prices, we are seeing renewed interest in the demand side of the equation. Someday we'll see the ability to shape loads at the local level such that existing transmission and generation assets can go a lot further than they do today. It will allow distributors to provide lower-cost electricity.
Cartwright, Calpine: We'll see some IGCC [integrated gasification-combined cycle] plants going online in the next five years or so, and if they are successful there will be more.
McKenzie, Southern Co.: Having coal gasification capacity in front of the country's 200,000 MW of combined-cycle capacity would allow the flexibility to switch between coal and gas. That would be a different world than the one we are in today. In 10 years, with LNG infrastructure in place globally, and with commercialized coal gasification capacity in place, we could see gas at $3 [per MMBtu] again.
We are excited about the award we received from the Department of Energy to pursue a coal gasification project in Orlando. It will be a commercial demonstration of our gasification technology. My hope for Southern Company is that by the 2013 to 2015 time frame, we will be putting gasifiers in front of our existing combined-cycle units
Fortnightly: Who will build and own the next generation of power plants? Will progress toward competition continue or stall out? Will a new, more viable merchant power business model emerge?
Cartwright, Calpine: The situation now is very different from what it was a few years ago. I don't think there will be a significant number of new power plants built on speculation as they were several years ago. But we are seeing more load-serving entities issuing RFPs for long-term commitments of power capacity, with an average life of about 7 years. That allows us to project finance.
The bottom line is the contract must be with a creditworthy entity, and the terms must support financing. The banks have been very interested in competing for business when you have a good contract and a good project.
Hunt, Global Energy Advisers: We see continued pressure for direct access. Even with the calamity we had in the California energy crisis, industrial customers are saying they see opportunities for savings and they don't want the door to close.
Buehler, Energy Investors Funds: The free market got stalled because of bad regulation in California, but that was a one-off problem. We will continue to deregulate.
Some people may focus on building regional portfolios of merchant assets or acquiring regional portfolios of distressed

Rev. William Franklin Graham, Jr.:
Billy Graham, the American Christian evangelist, is best known for his worldwide evangelistic crusades preaching the message of Christianity to more people than anyone in history. The Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) reports, "nearly 215 million people in more than 185 countries" have been reached through his ministry. In his lifetime, he has led many thousands to make a decision to receive Jesus as personal Savior and to live for Christ. Graham has been an adviser to many American presidents and according to Gallup Polls is regularly listed as one of the "Ten Most Admired Men in the World."
Date of Birth:
November 7, 1918.
Family & Home:
Graham was raised on a dairy farm in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1943 he married Ruth McCue Bell, daughter of a Christian missionary surgeon in China. He and Ruth had three daughters (including Anne Graham Lotz, Christian author and speaker), two sons (including Franklin Graham, who now runs his association), 19 grandchildren and numerous great-grandchildren. Today Billy Graham makes his home in the mountains of North Carolina. On June 14, 2007, he said farewell to his beloved Ruth when she passed away at age 87.
Education & Ministry:
In 1934, at age 16, Graham made a personal commitment to Christ during a revival meeting conducted by Mordecai Ham. He graduated from the Florida Bible Institute, now Trinity College of Florida and was ordained in 1939 by a church in the Southern Baptist Convention. Later in 1943, he graduated from Wheaton College, pastored the First Baptist Church in Western Springs, Illinois, and then joined Youth for Christ.
In this post-war era, as he preached in the United States and Europe, Graham was soon acknowledged as a rising young evangelist. In 1949, an extended 8-week crusade in Los Angeles gained international recognition for Graham.
In 1950 Graham founded the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association (BGEA) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which later relocated in 2003 to Charlotte, North Carolina. The ministry has included:
- The weekly "Hour of Decision" radio broadcast.
- Televised crusade specials approximately six times a year.
- "My Answer," international newspaper column.
- Decision Magazine, the official BGEA publication.
- World Wide Pictures, one of the foremost producers of evangelistic films in the world.
Today, in his early 90's, Billy Graham and his ministry are known throughout the world.
Billy Graham has authored 30 books, many of which have been translated into several languages. They include:
- Nearing Home (2011)
- Storm Warnings (2010)
- Wisdom For Each Day (2008)
- The Journey (2006)
- Hope for Each Day (2002)
- Just As I Am (Autobiography - 1997)
- Storm Warning (1992)
- Hope for the Troubled Heart (1991)
- Facing Death and the Life After (1987
- Approaching Hoofbeats: The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse (1983)
- Till Armageddon (1981)
- The Holy Spirit (1978)
- How to Be Born Again (1977)
- Angels: God's Secret Agents (1975)
- The Jesus Generation (1971)
- The Congressional Gold Medal.
- The Templeton Foundation Prize for Progress in Religion.
- The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation Freedom Award.
- The Big Brother of the Year Award.
- Cited by George Washington Carver Memorial Institute for contributions to race relations.
- Recognized by Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith and National Conference of Christians and Jews for efforts to foster better understanding among faiths.
- Inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame in 1999.
More Accomplishments:
- On September 14, 2001 he led a national prayer service for the 9/11 attacks at Washington National Cathedral.
- He was presented with honorary knighthood (KBE) in December 2001.
- He presided over the graveside services for president Lyndon Johnson in 1973.
- He spoke at the funeral of president Richard Nixon in 1994.
- Graham was unable to officiate the funeral of Ronald Reagan on June 11, 2004 after hip replacement surgery.

Shaun Allan, author of Sin is here to share his thoughts with us! Let's give him a warm welcome!
The Mortality of a Writer
I wonder if one of the reasons I wanted to write a novel – and all the stories and poems I've produced along the way – was because I longed to be immortal.
I realise that medical science hasn't quite advanced to the stage where I can live forever, or at least until the end of an episode of Emmerdale (which feels equally as long), so perhaps my novel is my attempt at achieving that in other ways.
One of my favourite films is Highlander. Immortals that live forever, unless they are beheaded by another. Luckily, writers are not so blood-thirsty, especially as we're told the pen is mightier than the sword. With no Fountain of Youth spewing forth from my kitchen tap or mystical painting hidden away in my attic, I must succumb to the will of Time and all her minions.
And she is a hard task-mistress.
So. I have written for as long as I can remember. Since I could hold a pen, I'm told. I remember, in school, trying to write my first book. And failing. But the stories were there. English was my favourite subject and I did well at it. Words have been my friend and kindred spirit almost all my life.
And then there's the computer. It is so much a part of life, today, that I'm surprised even a bacon sandwich doesn't have a built in micro-chip to tell you the fat content, calorie intake and hyperlinks to where you can by the ketchup to go with it. I have been using computers for only around 8 years less than I have been writing. My class at school was one of the first to get computers back then, a good 30+ years ago. You had to take an IQ test to get in – and, yes, they still let me play.
Since then, it's a rare day when I'm not at a PC. My full time job is heavily computer based. My smartphone is almost surgically attached to my hand.
My eyes take a battering. Staring at a screen all day – and, as much as I tell those I work with about taking breaks, I don't myself – isn't a good idea but it can't be helped. Add to that the time I spend on my phone. Plus the fact that I like to relax on an evening, usually later on when I've done everything I need to do, and watch a bit of TV. And I write.
I suppose there's no wonder that I now need glasses. Not for close up work, which surprised me as my world is mostly in-my-face, but for distance. I notice I can't so easily make out the details on the on-screen Sky guide. At a concert, the singers and band are a little less distinct. It was a subtle change. I didn't notice I was missing tings. I put it down to tired eyes after a long day. It's not though.
It's time. And age (though I'm loathe to admit it). At 45 years of abuse, my eyes are telling me I need to calm down. Of course I can't. Of course I still need to work and I still HAVE to write. My eyes must be, I suppose, casualties of war.
I'm not blind, nor am I close to being so. The thing is, if I couldn't do my job, well, fair enough. If I couldn't write…
So. Given that Time and Age, two sides of a certain two-pence coin, play roulette with my body and my life, I wonder if I write to stick two fingers at the haughty pair. I wonder if, by producing a book (especially one so well liked as Sin), I have joined Connor Macleod of the clan Macleod in achieving immortality of a sort.
I might lose my eyesight over it, but at least I won't lose my head.

College News
Shhhhhhhh. It's Finals Week!
In order to ensure that the residence halls are conducive to sleep and study prior to (and during) final exams, 24 hour quiet hours begin at 11:00 p.m. on April 24 and run through May 4. If your student experiences difficulty with noise in the residence halls anytime during 24 hour quiet hours, please encourage them to notify a ResLife staff member (RA or RD), or to contact Safety and Security for assistance.
Students must move out of the Residence Halls within 24 hours of their last exam. This process includes either checking out with a ResLife staff member in their building or completing an express checkout. Checkout schedules will be posted throughout the building so that students are aware of the specific ResLife staff members who will be available to help them check out of their room prior to leaving for the summer. This information will also be covered in detail during closing floor meetings, so please encourage your student to attend, as a lot of important information will be covered. In addition, all of the express check out materials will be given to your student at the closing meeting.
If you have additional questions about check out procedures, please contact your student's Residence Director (RD) or review the check out information on our website.
Students also recently finished housing selection for the 2013-2014 academic year. During the summer, we often receive questions from students asking how to change their room and/or roommate assignment. Starting at 9:00 a.m. on April 15, students have an opportunity to request a change to their room/roommate assignment on the Room Change Wait List. To access the wait list or learn more information about the process, please visit our website.

The election is over - now what?
Looking forward to the next four years
After months of rigorous campaigning and over a year of election preparation, we finally have a victor and a familiar one at that. President Barack Obama was re-elected by the nation for a second term - for four more years and one more chance.
By the time of press, President Obama had won the election with 303 electoral votes to Mitt Romney's 206 votes, taking the popular vote by nearly 55 million votes. Some of the most important battleground states didn't even come into effect - Florida still has yet to be accounted for, and there was no winner projected for Ohio when all major networks projected the winner of the election.
As we re-elect our president for a second term, we have the opportunity to not just look forward to the next four years but to reflect on the last four.
It's been a long campaign season, and the debates and missteps of recent months have led to a lot of conversation on how we stand as a world power. Let's go back to the debates and think about the third one, which was supposed to be a discussion on foreign policy. Romney was ambiguous, and people were unsure if he could lead the country in a way that was appropriate. At the same time, the president has been criticized as weak and appeasing, especially in his response to the attacks in Benghazi on Sep. 11.
But as aggressive as people claim Romney would be, Obama is not the meek, weak commander in chief who many people have said he is. And after killing Osama bin Laden and many major al-Qaeda leaders, overthrew Gaddafi and pulled out of the war in Iraq, the overall image of the country has arguably improved since Barack Obama, especially in the eyes of our allies.
This election has proved something that our president might not have expected: people do not feel entirely confident with him. CNN polls from last month gave Romney a nine-point lead when asked who the American people felt could manage the economy better. Promises that our country would be under 6 percent unemployment by this time were left unanswered, and the rate has just recently reached under 8 percent.
But with many complaints came many accomplishments. Though controversial, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, focused on decreasing the number of uninsured Americans and reducing the cost of health care, set to go into effect by 2014.
We've seen the auto industry bailout and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Obama increased funding for student financial aid, reformed the student loan program and oversaw an expansion to the Pell Grants program.
And in Dec. 2010, Obama signed the bill repealing the 17-year-old "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy: the controversial law that banned openly gay men and women from serving in the armed forces.
In the next four years, collaboration and compromise is a must. The resistant conversation of every presidency is how the president-elect shifts to become too moderate or appeases the opposite political party, but as cliché as it sounds, nothing will get done if President Obama and the Republican-led Congress do not work together in the next four years.
What comes next? Maybe four more of the same - we don't know. There has been a recurring argument that President Obama couldn't possibly fix the mess left for him in four years. As a nation, we can now only look forward to seeing what he will do in eight years.
But with Tuesday's victory, America proved that while it might be a little wary about re-electing Obama, it's willing to give him a second chance. The stigma that came with Mitt Romney was that you didn't know what you were going to get out of him. Would we, as a nation, see a Conservative commander or a Moderate Mitt? Romney's vague platforms and Obama's incumbency played in Obama's favor, but the proximity of this election might be what the president needs to motivate him.

YAKIMA Kingjoe Pro 3 Bikes Bicycles Rear Rack Mount Stand Carrier
Yakima Industries is founded by Otto & Jeanne Lagervall in Yakima, Washington. An inventor and paddlesports enthusiast, Otto makes handmade foot braces for canoes and kayaks. (His first claim to fame: invention of the foldable metal music stand.) Their small machine shop also creates roof racks for hauling ladders and pruning equipment.
Download Instructions
With uncompromised style and performance, plus bomber steel construction, foldable arms, and excellent vehicle protection, the KINGJOE PRO is a king among kings. And by "kings" we mean "truck carriers."
Q: What if my car is not on the fit list included with my rack?
A: If you do not find your car in the list, call us on 1800 143 548. We may have the measurements and notes for your vehicle. You can also refer to the instructions which provides general fit information to help mount the rack to your vehicle. The best option is to go to your local Yakima Dealer and see if you can try one out before you buy.
Q: Will a KingJoe Pro clear my spoiler?
A: Most Likely. If you are fitting a KingJoe to a car that is not on the fit list and has a spoiler it will very likely work. To make sure, it's a good idea to go to your local Yakima Dealer and see if you can try one out before you buy.
Q: What is the difference between the KingJoe Pro and SuperJoe Pro?
A: The upper arm assembly on the KingJoe Pro is independently adjustable making it ideal for all hatchbacks, vans and SUV's.
Q: Are replacement parts available for my KingJoe Pro?
A: Yes. Go to www.yakima.com.au and look up your KingJoe Pro in the "Products" section. Available replacement parts are listed on the product page.
Q: What should I do if my bike has a funky or non standard frame design?
A: Make like it's the 80's and get a TubeTop. TubeTop is a proxy top tube that quickly and easily attaches to your bike. TubeTop takes away the difficulty and inherent hazards of mounting a bike without a top tube or one with a funky frame design.
Q: Is there any maintenance I should perform?
A: Yes. With every use, check for tearing or fraying of the nylon straps that hold the rack to you vehicle and replace as necessary. The rubber straps that hold the bike to the rack should also be checked with every use for any tears or cracking and should be replaced as necessary.
Q: Can I leave a KingJoe Pro on my car and be sure that it will be reasonably safe from theft?
A: Yes, with the key words being "reasonably safe". All KingJoe Pro come with a glass hatch hook for a good measure of passive security.
Q: What is a glass hatch hook?
A: The glass hatch hook is a steel cable reinforced nylon strap that uses a locked trunk or glass hatch to secure your rack.
Q: Will the straps damage the finish on my car?
A: When properly installed your Yakima rack should not damage any part of your car. Proper installation starts with a clean car. If you have a dirty car, that dirt can get trapped under the attachment points and ruin the cars finish. Make sure your car is clear every time you install your rack.
Q: What is the difference between the KingJoe Pro and KingJoe?
A: Functionally, the KingJoe Pro has easier-to-use adjustments, more secure bike cradles and a slightly different arm design to better accommodate a wider variety of vehicles.
