The Bolsheviks used a &lt;b&gt;red&lt;/b&gt; flag as their symbol when they overthrew the tsar in 1917. That is how &lt;b&gt;red&lt;/b&gt; became the color of communism.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; In India, &lt;b&gt;red&lt;/b&gt; is the symbol for a soldier.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; In South Africa, &lt;b&gt;red&lt;/b&gt; is the color of mourning.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; It's considered good luck to tie a &lt;b&gt;red&lt;/b&gt; bow on a new car.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; In China, &lt;b&gt;red&lt;/b&gt; is the color of good luck and is used as a holiday and wedding color.

analysis, introspection, and seclusiveness are all characteristics of
the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind,
and especially good at searching out and finding the truth. You are so
very capable of analyzing, judging and discriminating, that very little
ever escapes your observation and deep understanding. You are the type
of person that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden
truths, often becoming an authority on whatever it is your are focusing
on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may
be religious or occult, it matters very little, you pursue knowledge
with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or
because of a natural inclination toward the spiritual, you may become
deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations. You
tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your
friends may not really know you very well. The positive aspects of the
7 expression are that you can be a true perfectionist in a very
positive sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a
quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so rational
at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced
with an emotional situation, you may have a bit of a problem coping
with it. You have excellent capabilities to study and learn really deep
and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals. At full
maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;If
there is an over supply of the number 7 in your makeup, the negative
aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates
to the limited degree of trust that you may have in people. A tendency
to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side,
certainly very much self-contained . Because of this, you are not very
adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and intolerant. You
really like to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You
neither show or understand emotions very well.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your Soul Urge number is:&lt;/b&gt; 6&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;A Soul Urge number of 6 means: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;With
a number 6 Soul Urge, you would like to be appreciated for your ability
to handle responsibility. Your home and family are likely to be a
strong focus for you, perhaps the strongest focus of your life.
Friendship, love, and affection are high on your list of priorities for
a happy life. You have a lot of diplomatic tendencies in your makeup,
as you a able to rectify and balance situations with an innate skill.
You like working with people rather than by yourself. It is extremely
important for you to have harmony in your environment at all times. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;The
positive side of the 6 Soul Urge produces a huge capacity for
responsibility; you are always there and ready to assume more than your
share of the load. If you possess positive 6 Soul Urges and express
them, you are known for your generosity, understanding and deep
sympathetic attitude. Strong 6 energy is very giving of love,
affection, and emotional support. You may have the inclination to teach
or serve your community in other idealistic ways. You have natural
abilities to help people. You are also likely to have artistic and
creative leanings. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;If you
have an over-supply of 6 energy in your makeup, you may express some of
the negative traits common to this number. With such a strong
sympathetic attitude, it is easy to become too emotional. Sometimes the
desires to render help can be over done, and it can become interfering
and an attitude that is too protective, rather than helpful. The person
with too much 6 energy often finds that people tend to take advantage
of this very giving spirit. You may tend to repress your own needs so
that you can cater to the demands from others. At times, there may be a
tendency in this, for becoming over-loaded with such demands, and as a
result become resentful.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Your Inner Dream number is:&lt;/b&gt; 1&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face="Arial" size="2"&gt;&lt;b&gt;An Inner Dream number of 1 means: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;You
dream of being a leader and one who is in charge. You want to be known
for your courage, daring, and original ideas. You seek unconquered
heights. People may get a first impression that you are very aggressive
and sure of yourself.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description><comments>http://hp655-xd.xanga.com/543549481/item/#firstcomment</comments></item><item><title>Tuesday, October 31, 2006</title><link>http://hp655-xd.xanga.com/543186237/item/</link><guid>http://hp655-xd.xanga.com/543186237/item/</guid><pubDate>Tue, 31 Oct 2006 23:56:31 GMT</pubDate><description>&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 10px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://x38.xanga.com/b04a27f10333439833887/b21573099.png" target="xangaphoto"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 10px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;img style="border-width: 0px; width: 100px;" alt="" src="http://xa0.xanga.com/fadd6af70863252976108/z18732773.gif"&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://xb5.xanga.com/68bc67045553361497313/b16096643.gif" target="xangaphoto"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 10px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;font face="Arial Narrow"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 10px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://x7e.xanga.com/9c9b26e22763129178433/b16520240.png" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="border-width: 0px; width: 100px;" alt="" src="http://x7e.xanga.com/9c9b26e22763129178433/z16520240.png"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;a href="http://x7e.xanga.com/9c9b26e22763129178433/b16520240.png" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/cestlavie0/Made%20by%20Moi/DWPumbridge.png" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;a href="http://photobucket.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y169/cestlavie0/Made%20by%20Moi/ootp1harry.png" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" border="0"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(255, 255, 255); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;font style="font-weight: normal; font-size: 11px; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); line-height: 11px; font-family: trebuchet ms; letter-spacing: 3pt;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;font style="font-family: trebuchet ms; font-size: 10px; letter-spacing: 1px; line-height: 10px; font-weight: normal; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Oh and here's an insult : Your mom looks like Voldemort&amp;nbsp; !
