will you make it snow?

Edited June 13:

When I wrote this post a month ago I was in a manic state and seeing important signs and deciphering things everywhere.
When I was visiting DAVINCINATION I suddenly saw that the Firefox head and all the tab labels had changed colour from the customary gray to a beautiful sky blue (which lasted only for a few days).
One of my rhymes came to my mind:
I craved another miracle for all mankind.
Some wonders of it all we then might find.
Light snow should fall on every land,
each snowflake as different as every hand.
I immediately connected everything like this:
Some of you at DAVINCINATION had read my rhyme and had the fantastic idea of creating a light snowfall on all web browser heads in every land. You had started with the sky blue and was working on the computer creation of around 13,6 billion different snowflakes (one for every hand).
I don't remember why the post was titled Are you move? I started writing something else, but a spelling error took on some hidden meaning and it came out that way.
I was immensely happy. Then disappointed when nothing was "true".
Now the "idea" itself makes me happy.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baidu China (week 23. 2009)
Many people have asked about the meaning of our name. 'Baidu' was inspired by a poem written more than 800 years ago during the Song Dynasty. The poem compared the search for a retreating beauty amid chaotic glamour with the search for one's dream while confronted by life's many obstacles. '...hundreds and thousands of times, for her I searched in chaos, suddenly, I turned by chance, to where the lights were waning, and there she stood.' (Chinese: 众里寻他千百度,蓦然回首,那人却在灯火阑珊处) Baidu, whose literal meaning is hundreds of times, represents persistent search for the ideal.

Popular sayings about the intuitive and intelligent aspects of the human heart like “follow your heart” have long been considered to be strictly metaphorical, but scientific studies show that the heart is more than just a mass of muscle cells pumping blood throughout the body.

The heart is in constant communication with the body and brain using neurons, biochemicals, blood pressure waves and electricity, and has its own independent nervous system, and therefore, the heart has a much greater impact on information processing, perceptions, emotions and health than was ever acknowledged in the past.

In the early 1990s, the “heart-brain” concept was introduced by Dr. J. Andrew Amour and became a pivotal part of medical science’s newest discipline — neurocardiology.

Amour’s research looked at the heart’s complex network of neurotransmitters, support cells and proteins, and determined it was a nervous system that was similar enough to the brain itself to qualify as a “little brain.”

Turning now to the Bible, Strong’s Concordance lists over 700 references to “heart” in the Old and New Testaments. From the New Testament (KJV), here are just six examples which speak of the heart having properties we normally ascribe to the brain:

“Out of the heart the mouth speaketh….” Matthew 12:34
“and should understand with their heart….” Mt 13:15
“evil servant shall say in his heart…” Mt 24:48
“the thought of their heart….” Luke 9:47
“thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost…..” Acts 5:3
“believest with all thy heart….” Acts 8:37.

As I was sitting in my chair,
I knew the bottom wasn't there,
Nor legs nor back, but I just sat,
Ignoring little things like that.

his ideas, about encouraging the natural creativity of children, particularly those age 3 through 8, were novel at the time. It has been written about him that, "He typed notes of their conversations; he learned how to make them forget there was an adult around; never asked them questions and never showed surprise no matter what they did or said."

Fleur-de-Lis
Also called Lily of France, it was first an adaptation of the Gaulish lily representing the Virgin Juno. Among goddess worshippers, it apparently had several meanings, including the Triple Goddess. It appeared in Arthurian legends as well as on the French (and other national) "coat-of-arms" and royal or military emblems. It has also been an emblem for the Boy Scouts.

The anchor form, based on 0201b, the symbol of receptivity open upward toward the spiritual world, is crowned with the cross of matter, representing the actual and continuous existence in the material world. This combination creates the anchor cross, the crux dissimulata, the un-similar cross, a Christian symbol of hope from the time when the Christians in the Roman Empire had to practice their religion in secret because of the persecutions. Compare with the combination of the old pagan cross 4211 with 0201b to form 4212.

Velvet by Savoy? (also Aha)

Her skin is like velvet
Her face out from stone
Her eyes when she's smiling
Will never reach home
But hear how she sings

Her touch would be tender
Her lips would be warm
But when we're together
I'm always alone
But hear how she sings

Her skin is like velvet...
So I went to her home
Her place, like a palace
With things you can't own
Her skin is like velvet
And hear how she sings
