To start us off, the Greek at the top of what looks like a compass rose (??? ??S ????S ??? ?????S) 
translates to "By the glory of the Father".  This is a Bible quote from Romans 6:4.  The full quote is:  
"Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead 
by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life."  (KJV)

A quick Google search came up with a couple of other things also.  "Foster's Wharf" seems to refer to 
either a place in Beverly, Massachusetts, or a redesign of Canary Wharf, a station on the London 
Underground.  Given the line following, I would assume it's the former.

Hausdorff closure space is a mathematical term that, not being much of a mathematician, I could not begin 
to explain, but here's the Wiki link.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hausdorff_space

Lastly, this may have been mentioned before, as "Pelagian Devils" comes up quite often, but the Pelagians 
were those who denied that humans were irrevocably stained by Original Sin.  They believed that through 
Free Will, humans were able to attain moral perfection in their lifetime without Divine guidance.  They 
were, naturally, at odds with Augustine (who the Orphanage seems to revere, hence terming them "Devils")

That's all I have from a quick reading.  More to come.

	first impressions

Maps and pictures.

The top of the page seems to be a cemetary. the archicture also looks nineteenth century French. could be a belgian war cemetary.

Opposite is a "pigs" (recurrent theme) carcass.

Bottom left is a google Map search for a particular address in Dallas texas. Dallas Area Rapid Transit - DART
You could look up the addresses and work out what the search term was maybe.

Centre is a Las Vegas Nevada ( recurrent theme) which makes me think that the right hand side vats have something 
to do with either Nuclear bombs e.g. heavy water or cryogenics. the architecture suggests an older period to the vats

the maps seem to be of Australia (with Melbourne at the dot) and possibly Iceland (with rekjavic - recurrant theme-  
at the dot) But the iceland one may be wrong. The missing peninsula and large lake are putting me off.

Im fairly dure the middle image is the reichstag in Berlin. we had a similar ADW map of Berlin like the Dallas 
one with the Uban/underground . Maybe the points marked on it have a common theme?

Bunyan quote from author of  "The Pilgrim's Progress" (recurrant theme Protestantism)

A few more things:

First of all, re: Beacon's comment on the maps, I believe that the outline on the left is actually South 
Africa, not Iceland.  Cape Town is marked with the dot.  This would seem to make more sense, as we have 
seen coordinates for Cape Town many times before.  Also, while the one on the right is Australia, the 
dot seems to mark a city called Port Augusta.  This is odd to me, as there seems to be nothing of note 
in Port Augusta.  The only vague connection I see is the similarity between "Augusta" and "Augustine".  
Is it possible that Cape Town the city is not as significant to them as the name itself?

Also, if anyone could give any insight to the meaning of the pound and asterik symbols, I would like to 
hear it.  I think we have seen these before, but I can't remember where or when.

More on the translations, now.  The quote in the inner circle of the compass rose "For victory..." is from 
Ivan the Terrible (The Cyrillic is literally Ivan Grozny).

Luther's quote that serves as the Leitmotiv here means "There was a wondrous war".  This line comes from a 
chorale written by Luther called "Christ lag in Todesbanden" ("Christ lay in death's bonds").  The chorale 
was used by JS Bach in 1707 as the main melody for an Easter cantata of the same name.  I hope there are 
some musicologists among us who can shed some light on this one, as I cannot say more about the 
significance of the piece.

The vats are almost certainly wine vats.  I'm trying to nail down just where, but a Google Image search on 
"stainless steel vat" leads immediately to a picture of a vat bigger than, but otherwise very similar to, 
the ones in the photo.

The hash (pound) and three other symbols (asterisk, exclamation mark and star) appear around 1992. 
Before that you usually get the digits 1 through 4 or sometimes a series of from one through four stars. 
Another recurrent theme. The postings are supposed to have four levels. And there are four main charachters 
Luther ,Calvin, Adolphus,  Cromwell - all Protestant leaning by the way.

There are Pelagians Pigs Hirelings and the Revisionists who are the posters group. I get the impression 
that Pelagians are looked upon a bit like Catholics would be to hard line Protestants - educated and 
knowledgable but unworthy. The other two groups are lower in some pecking order.

The clues themselves are supposed to have four levels.

I agree on the South Africa and Australia map. the "lake" is probably Lesotho. Cape Town and Port Augustafit earlier motiefs.

i think the A and B on the map of Dallas are from a search of clubs and bars. the Door club and The Prophet Bar are part of a Chain.

do a google map search under the name and main st and elm st dallas texas

Mind you a lot of them seem to correspond with Bus or train stops. Maybe the ADW references are not people 
but places for example "Latimer" might be the Door Bar under the Latimer expressway nearby.?? nah scratch that.

SR = systematic review or standardized review
CL = common logic: a framework for a FAMILY of logic languages

'tis still the insensible principle that directs all your conduct and will at last most assuredly deceive and ruin you.

Comments: Beacon - It is a vineyard, not a cemetary. Tried to find a match to the image but no luck.

	Couldn't take an oath on this but I've heard that Siemens has ongoing interests in what is now known as Slovakia.  
	Seems to fit one of the statements in Fraktur.

The picture to the right of the exclamation mark shows the Bundestag - The German Parliment.

regards

The central tower in the vineyard is clearly marked.  Appears that two lights one above the other 
are burning perhaps marking two levels.
