I have news.

Apologies for disturbing you again.

“The five of discs moves towards the eye, when danger strikes” – Please note this is open to debate.

Also, this will be my last message today. I will be sending you two more tomorrow.

I also found this:

Death (The only horsemen explicitly named in Revelation)	Pale or “pale green”	Scythe	Followed by Hades kills with the scythe, with famine, disease, and the beasts of the earth. ^[1]	ίππος χλωρός, θάνατος (híppos khlōrós, thánatos), [The] Pale Horse

Pale Horse

The fourth horseman as depicted in the Bamberg Apocalypse (1000-1020)

When the Lamb opened the fourth seal, I heard the voice of the fourth living creature say, “Come!” I looked and there before me was a pale horse! Its rider was named Death, and Hades was following close behind him. They were given power over a fourth of the earth to kill by sword, famine and plague, and by the wild beasts of the earth.

— Revelation 6:7-8 NIV

The fourth and final horseman is named Death. Of all the riders, he is the only one to whom the text itself gives a name. Unlike the other three, he carries no weapon or other object (but some versions say that Death carries the scythe, symbolizing that he is the Grim Reaper); instead he is followed by Hades.

The color of Death’s horse is written as khlôros (χλωρóς) in the original Koine Greek, which is often translated as “pale”, though “ashen”, “pale green”, and “yellowish green”[7] are other possible interpretations. The color suggests the sickly pallor of a corpse.[3][8] The natural colors of horse coats that could be indicated include dun, palomino, buckskin, or one of several color variants with dilution genes.[citation needed]

The verse beginning “they were given power over the fourth of the earth” may refer solely to Death and Hades, or it may summarize the roles of all four horsemen; scholars disagree on this point.[2]

I have news. The situation is under control. God speed.

I have some issues, that are causing concern.

White Horse

See also: White horse (mythology)

The first horseman as depicted in the Bamberg Apocalypse (1000-1020)

I watched as the Lamb opened the first of the seven seals. Then I heard one of the four living creatures say in a voice like thunder, “Come!” I looked, and there before me was a white horse! Its rider held a bow, and he was given a crown, and he rode out as a conqueror bent on conquest.

— Revelation 6:1-2 NIV

The white horse of the apocalyptic four has been argued to represent either evil or righteousness:

[edit]As evil

The other three horsemen represent evil, destructive forces, and given the unified way in which all four are introduced and described, it may be most likely that the first horseman is correspondingly evil.[2][3] Stuttgarter Erklärungsbibel, a German Lutheran, sees him as civil war and internal strife. One interpretation–which was held by evangelist Billy Graham–casts the rider of the white horse as the Antichrist, or a representation of false prophets, citing differences between the white horse in Revelation 6 and Jesus on the white Horse in Revelation 19.[4] Revelation 19 Jesus has many crowns, but in Revelation 6 the rider has one.[5]

[edit]As righteous

Irenaeus, an influential Christian theologian of the second century, was among the first to interpret this horseman as Christ himself, his white horse representing the successful spread of the gospel.[3] Various scholars have since supported this theory, citing the later appearance, in Revelation 19, of Christ mounted on a white horse, appearing as The Word of God. Furthermore, earlier in the New Testament, the Book of Mark indicates that the advance of the gospel may indeed precede and foretell the apocalypse.[2][3] The color white also tends to represent righteousness in the Bible, and Christ is in other instances portrayed as a conqueror.[2][3] However, opposing interpretations argue that the first of the four horsemen is probably not the horseman of Revelation 19. They are described in significantly different ways, and Christ’s role as the Lamb who opens the seven seals makes it unlikely that he would also be one of the forces released by the seals.[2][3]

Besides Christ, the horseman could represent the Holy Spirit.[citation needed] The Holy Spirit was understood to have come upon the Apostles at Pentecost after Jesus’ departure from earth. The appearance of the Lamb in Revelation 5 shows the triumphant arrival of Jesus in heaven, and the white horseman could represent the sending of the Holy Spirit by Jesus and the advance of the gospel of Jesus Christ.[6]

Ladybirds, Lips, and Barbie Shoes

It may be because I grew up thinking I was the real-world manifestation of Jem, but a well executed pastel hair-do or set of pretty pink lips has more impact on me than the meanest pair of black studded heels. The potency of straight up girly-chic should never be underestimated.

Transitional weather illnesses have me thinking more and more how a good immune system is a pretty attractive thing as well. What better accent to fresh paint on your nails and a silk Valentino scarf? …Clever reference to silk Valentino scarf one I came across at Beacon’s Closet in Williamsburg the other day and could not live without.

Anyway, these are a few of my favorite (girly) things:

♥ Dior Addict Lip Glow

♥ Backstage at Giles – might as well editorial shots…

♥ Pink Holga cameras

♥ NaNaNail Blog (Japanese)

♥ Milly SS’10 Runway

♥ Blush Lingerie Spring 2010 Campaign
