The scene opens with God literally setting the stage for what is to come. News of the Israel crossing the Jordan spread quickly and it took the life out of their potential oppostion. It strikes me that this is important since the Israelites were about to be circumcised and needed a safe place to heal and recover. Basically, like shutting the lions' mouths for Daniel, God put fear in the hearts of the Amorites and the Canaanites and they stayed back.
God is speaking regularly with Joshua about each step he should take in leading these people. I wonder exactly how that happened? There are a multitude of very specific details for Joshua to follow…and without a notepad to keep track. It reminds me we have a great responsibility to each other to know what we are supposed to be about. (Am I listening… and taking notes?)
Joshua met no opposition. The men willingly complied so as to set apart and consecrated to the Lord's use. After the cutting away came healing. Specifically "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt for you." (The concecrating prayer I am practicing promises me the same…a daily place to be set free.)
It was fitting to celebrate the Passover for so many reasons…God's provision of escape to be remembered, the 12 stones sitting in front of them, the manna from heaven still their bread, their healing and deliverance fresh before them.
And the next day…bam…"I am doing a new thing, can you not see it?"
About God?
God – provider, protector, deliverer, healer!
About Me?
Yielding to the Spirit leads to new Grace.
About the World?
There will be a day when every heart will melt and every knee will bow.

What is Alcohol Addiction?
Alcohol addiction is the most problematic form of alcohol abuse and is often categorized into three subsets, those being mild, intermediate, and severe. Abusers feel as if alcohol helps them feel "normal" and able to better function. As alcohol addiction progresses, however, it becomes increasingly difficult to manage, not only for the abuser but for his or her family members. It often leads not only to emotional but financial issues. Serious health problems often result. If you are reading this, it is likely you are reaching out for help. It may be for yourself or a loved one. If traditional programs haven't been effective or if you are looking for a more open-minded, non-judgemental approach to alcohol addiction, you have come to the right place.
Signs of Alcohol Addiction
There are common and universally accepted signs of alcohol addiction. They include:
- An inability to control the use of alcohol
- Looking forward to the consumption of alcohol throughout the day
- Increasing consumption of alcohol
- Spending more money on alcohol than seems reasonable
- Replacing responsibilities with alcohol
- Changing personalities when using alcohol
You may have already admitted to some of these signs or seen them in a family member. This is permission to move forward.
The Magnitude of Alcohol Addiction
To understand the magnitude of alcohol addiction and the need for professional alcohol treatment programs, one must first understand the facts surrounding alcohol abuse. It is widespread and prevalent. If you or a family member are struggling with the issue, you are far from being alone. The good news is there is hope and resolution. There are advanced, forward-thinking alcohol recovery programs that have been proven to be effective even if a traditional alcohol recovery program may not work for you or a loved one.
It can help by first understanding how widespread the use of alcohol is within the United States. The 2015 National Survey on Drug Use and Health reveals that a whopping 86 percent of people ages 18 or older have indicated they have had at least one drink of alcohol in their lifetime. While that may seem to be acceptable and even understandable to most, further investigation reveals more alarming statistics.
For example, over 70% said they drank alcohol in the past year. Over 56% percent polled said they had alcohol in the past 30 days. If these statistics don't yet alarm you, let's take a deeper dive.
In 2015, almost 27% of everyone in the country who were 18 years or older admitted to "binge drinking" within the past 30 days. Additionally, about 7% said they used alcohol "heavily" in the past month. It is estimated that one in twelve Americans are "alcoholics". The point is, if you suspect you are an alcoholic, you may or may not be correct. You, however, are certainly not alone if you feel this way.
Alcohol Abuse Syndrome
Statistics show that over 15 million Americans suffer from Alcohol Abuse Syndrome. Whether they are admitted alcoholics, admit they need alcohol treatment or not, the fact is, they need help if alcohol abuse is negatively affecting their lives.
If this is affecting you or someone you care about about, we have a positive solution. It is a solution that restores dignity and pride. It is a solution that doesn't rely on placing blame. It is a holistic approach to alcohol addiction that is designed to rebuild those affected in an innovated, positive program.

Cyprus Rent a car offline or online is very competitive. It is therefore important to ensure that the car is the type of car you need for your Cyprus holiday or business trip, unlike the car you want, good value or not. One most car rental requirement for open-top or spongy top jeep is known as 4WD. Drive along in the sun, not the wind in your hair. Do not care on the planet that appear in many movies and makes a good idea of a vacation. To find the best Cyprus car rentals deals, feel free to visit RentaCarCY.com
Such jeeps are actually suitable for short journeys between your home and the beach, the promenade highway trips at low speeds, and a day in the Troodos. Larger jeeps offer a powerful engine. It comes with additional space in the interior for passengers. It also has a larger storage space. It comes with air conditioning and security capability. Family cars can be divided into 2 main groups. Some are with and some are without air conditioning.
You no longer need to be convinced to believe that you do not have air conditioning in summer. For all used to the heat of the Mediterranean climate of Cyprus, the drive without air conditioning could be very annoying. The advantages of a family are that it has a large, closed, and closed the box, abundance of room for passengers and travel on the majority of roads.
Roads are in relatively good state and highways that connect major cities are outstanding, making-a-car excellent transport across the country for seeing the sights. Sedan cars are from locally-based car rental, because the price is extremely reasonable. For a cheap car in Cyprus, consider a small car for travel. Typical for four passengers compact rental cars are very suitable for smaller families with kids. They travel on the roads, and even if it slows down significantly on the way to the sheer way up of Troodos. There are Small cars that can grasp their own. Do not run the air conditioner on full throughout the climb.
For business trips, small car rentals are perfect. They are available for a cheap price, making them extremely gorgeous for cost-conscious travelers looking for only the best solution. In addition, they are simple to park as well as easy to maneuver the slender village roads. There is always a luxury car, sedan, convertible, premium models, and brands, but it's definitely on different scales that are significantly larger than the standard holiday's self-drive car.
When you book a car over the Internet, do not forget to weigh against accurately what you obtain for your cash when consider hiring a car, because the cheapest option is not necessarily the most excellent deal. In addition, make sure that the car hire gives you maps of Cyprus, 24-hour contact details in case something goes in the wrong, a total cost including VAT, and insurance with no deductible, and can really transport it to its place. This must be the norm, whatever the nature of the car.

Amazon plans to build two large distribution centers in New Jersey and will start collecting state sales tax next summer from its customers in the state, Gov. Chris Christie announced.
Construction of the warehouses, each projected to be about a million square feet, is scheduled to begin next year, the governor and Amazon officials said Wednesday, and to result in 1,500 full-time jobs and thousands of part-time and seasonal jobs when they are both operating.
Under an agreement with the state, Amazon, which is based in Seattle, will start collecting the state's 7 percent sales tax on orders from New Jersey residents by July 1, 2013 — unless federal legislation is passed that mandates an earlier date — thus resolving complaints from merchants based in New Jersey.
Out-of-state online retailers like Amazon do not have to charge New Jersey residents sales tax, while in-state merchants must, leaving them at what they feel is a competitive disadvantage.
Amazon customers, like other online shoppers, are supposed to keep track of what tax they owe on online purchases and pay that amount when they file their income taxes. They rarely do so, depriving the state of revenue.
Amazon has agreed to build warehouses in a number of other states in return for extending sales tax exemptions for a certain period of time. In discussions with New Jersey officials, Amazon had sought a 22-month reprieve before it would need to begin to collect tax. Mr. Christie estimated that the new agreement, which followed months of negotiations and hinged in large part on the timing of sales tax collections, would result in $30 million to $40 million a year in additional tax revenue for the state.Continue reading the main story
Amazon's vice president for global public policy, Paul Misener, who joined Mr. Christie at a news conference announcing the deal, called it a "great first step with the State of New Jersey."
The distribution centers, estimated to cost $130 million, are contingent on Amazon's receiving tax incentives, which are different than the sales tax agreement, from the New Jersey Economic Development Authority. The retailer did not say how much it would seek. The sites for the warehouses have not yet been chosen.
"We're very pleased with the deal," said John Holub, the president of the New Jersey Retail Merchants Association, which has long argued that Amazon and other out-of-state online retailers should charge state tax immediately. "We now have a definite date when Amazon will begin to collect tax."Continue reading the main story

Our Vision
All around us we see brokenness. Our world is broken as evidenced by injustice, disaster, suffering, and conflict. Our relationships with one another – family, friends, colleagues, neighbors - are broken by selfishness, misunderstanding, pride, weakness. We are painfully aware that we are separated from healthy relationship with God. Deep down inside we realize that we ourselves are broken – full of weakness, dysfunction, sin.
Where is the hope?!?
We believe the ultimate problem of mankind can be solved by a relationship with Jesus Christ which brings healing and hope to us, our human relationships, and our world.
We exist to exalt Christ, equip believers, and evangelize our community.

Let's get this right up front: As an artist, I think Ken Danby's about as much use as his fellow Canadian — and painful literalist — Robert Bateman, which is to say: not much use at all. And for my next proclamation, I'd like to confirm that there is, in fact, no Santa Claus, and by the way, you were actually adopted.
Which is to say, I know it sounds mean — especially when Danby's signature work, 1972's At the Crease, a portrait of a goalkeeper in deep crouch guarding the net, his eyes burning through his mask, is probably the best-loved piece of hockey art of all time (a thin, slightly dubious field though it may be).
For the record, I love the game, though not so much this year, with my Calgary Flames evading their annual first-round humiliation by missing the playoffs entirely. So I'm well acquainted with the not-so-subtle disconnect between art and the sporting world. Ray Cronin, the director of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia, organized a show called "Arena: The Art of Hockey" last year (it came to the Museum of Contemporary Canadian Art in Toronto in the fall); he wrote the following in his introduction to the accompanying catalogue: "I'm wary about trotting out too many clichés, but art needs to communicate with viewers . . . This exhibition provides the opportunity for the artists included to communicate with a large audience predisposed to listen."
It was a gentle reminder, I suppose, that the needs of mass culture aren't particularly well-served by the sometimes-hermetic contemporary art world — and, understandably, that a little more crossover wouldn't be a terrible thing. At the same time, it's a very difficult argument to make that much-reproduced, slavishly true-to-life poster art that hews to the McDonald's measure of quality — Billions served! And yes, Danby and Bateman, I'm looking at you — necessarily bring a sense of, ahem, art appreciation to the dorm and basement rec rooms in which they hang.
Whatever side of the fence you fall on, Danby, who died in 2007, is getting the royal treatment at the Odon Wagner Gallery, with a show of 50 works from his estate opening today this weekend. (the exhibition's title makes no secret of where the gallery stands; it's called "Homage to a Master.")
Here, we find the principle revelation of Danby's career — for those fastened on to At the Crease as his sole output of note, which is most of us — to be that he painted not just hockey scenes (there were a few; I remember pond shinny, and a pair of skates being laced in close-up) but an array of shorelines, seascapes and mountainscapes; figures like a naked woman on horseback, and some bizarrely affected portraits of such Canadian luminaries as Leafs defenceman Tim Horton and music icon Gordon Lightfoot, the latter floating, white-blazer clad, in a golden-hued haze.
You can't say Danby wasn't technically capable. Working in egg tempera and watercolour, two finicky media, his work was intricate, precise, almost disturbingly photo-realistic. That said, the work adds little beyond exacting reproduction; like Bateman, there's no sense of spirit, life-force, or moment — just pretty pictures (though "pretty" is in the eye of the beholder, and to mine, Danby's aren't even that, all tarted up in eye-burning, too-bright colour and a litany of clichés).
Weirdly, the image that most nears the compelling moment of transcendent mystery that makes art, well, art, is probably At the Crease (though some of the mystery faded when in 2007, Wayne Gretzky, of all people, was able to identify the keeper as Dennis Kemp, who played Junior B for his father, Walter, in Brantford).
The goalie is tightly coiled, anxious, like a spring waiting to burst. Inscrutable, the dead stare of the eyes reveal nothing. It was compelling — or at least iconic — enough for Cronin to include it in "Arena," alongside such bona fides as Tim Lee and James Carl (the Toronto version, alas, arrived here sadly Danby-free).
Maybe Cronin thought the painting provided a necessary foil to the heady, sometimes-snobby work the show gathered about the game; maybe he just liked it. Ironically, Danby, in a 1979 CBC interview, disavowed the painting as "pure hoke — a Sports Illustrated illustration." On his death in 2007 at 67 during a canoe trip in Algonquin, the Art Gallery of Ontario disagreed, arranging a special showing of the original work, billing it as "one of this country's defining works of art."
Whatever the case, amid all else Danby may have painted, it'll stand forever the work that makes his name. A signature piece, loved by millions? All things being equal, I could think of worse fates.
Ken Danby: Homage to a Master, continues to July 3 at the Odon Wagner Gallery, 196 Davenport Rd.

One of the most unique and stunning lines I've ever had the pleasure to climb.
Changing Seasons, Changing Focus
I'm really enjoying my annual seasonal transition into working on strength and power. I love having problems like this in my life to work on. The best kinds of problems are the ones you can almost solve, but have to come back to later. They push your mind, body and patience. This lifelong process never gets old for me, even as I grow older every year. Sheer fun, this ever-present challenge of seeking workable solutions to difficult puzzles.
"We are all playing our edge. We are all approaching the unexplored where real growth occurs. The object is simply to become more aware, to have more life to live in each moment, to be fully alive." (from Guided Meditations, Explorations and Healings, by Stephen Levine)

Correction Appended
When J. Craig Venter announced at a news conference the other day that he and his co-workers had created the first "synthetic cell," he displayed the savvy graciousness of an actor accepting an Academy Award.
Dr. Venter, the renowned genome wrassler and president of the J. Craig Venter Institute, praised his two dozen team members and described the long years of struggle that preceded their moment of triumph. He called out important figures in the audience: his editor, his literary agent, the celebrity diet doctor Dean Ornish. And he acknowledged that none of his group's work would have been possible without a lot of help from the parents — Mother Nature and Father Time.
After all, that stalwart pair was responsible for designing and gradually refining the real cells that brought the Venter team's synthetic constructs to life. There is, as yet, no escaping the cell. Every past and present lodger on the twisted bristlecone tree of life is built of cells, every cell is a microcosm of life, and neither the Venter team nor anybody else has come close to recreating the cell from scratch. If anything, the new report underscores how dependent biologists remain on its encapsulated power.
As reported in the journal Science on May 20 to international attention, the Venter team managed to recreate with bottled chemicals the entire genetic code of one species of bacterium and transplant that manufactured genome into the housing of a closely related species of bacterium. Once installed, the synthetic DNA began operating like the real thing, prompting its cellular surroundings to produce a protein work force appropriate to its needs rather than that of the original bacterial host, to copy the synthetic DNA, and to do what all bacteria love to do, which is divide over and over again.
The researchers now have many descendants of that founding microbial construct stored in a freezer, all of them nearly indistinguishable from what you'd get if you cultivated the "donor" bacterium naturally. Only on looking carefully at the genetic sequence in each cell would you find the researchers' distinguishing "watermarks," brief chemical messages inserted into the otherwise plagiarized string of one million-plus letters of bacterial DNA.Continue reading the main story
The harmless nucleic interjections include encrypted versions of the researchers' names and three apt if self-conscious quotations: "See things not as they are, but as they might be," from a biography of the physicist Robert Oppenheimer; "What I cannot build, I cannot understand," by Richard Feynman; and "To live, to err, to fall, to triumph, and to recreate life out of life," by James Joyce, which, when taken together with the fact that the physicist Murray Gell-Mann named the fundamental particles of the atomic nucleus "quarks" after a line in Joyce's "Finnegans Wake," suggests that scientists are at least as fond of the nougaty Irish novelist as is the average English major.
Other researchers were impressed by the work but were quick to keep the feat on the ground. "There's no doubt in my mind that this is a major achievement," said Steen Rasmussen, a professor of physics at the University of Southern Denmark who works in the field of synthetic biology. "But is it artificial life? Of course not."
Bonnie L. Bassler, a microbiologist at Princeton, said, "They started with a known genome, a set of genes that nature had given us, and they had to put their genome into a live cell with all the complex goo and ingredients to make the thing go."
Dr. Venter freely admitted his indebtedness to precedence. His team, he said, was "taking advantage of three and a half billion years of evolution." Throughout those preposterous eons, nature has had a chance to perfect the splendid entity of all earthly animation that is the living cell. And though researchers have made some tentative progress in their efforts to synthesize other essential elements of the cell apart from the genome, don't expect even a cheap knockoff anytime soon. "I am always awed by nature," Dr. Bassler said, "and how it manages to work so well."
There is a reason why life is built of cells, and why most cells are too small to see without a microscope. It's easy in a small space to keep critical components squeezed together and close at hand, the better for the right enzymes to encounter the right substrates in a timely fashion and a million tiny bonfires to burn. "Cells are not like an aquarium where a fish swims by now and again," said Dr. Bassler. "They're jam-packed inside. They're teeming with stuff. They're like a house filled with necessary clutter, or New York City, or a Thanksgiving table loaded with so many dishes you don't know where you might put another plate."
Much of the cell's interior is taken up by the cytoplasm, which, as several biologists have gleefully observed, pretty much has the texture of snot. The appearance of random ooze, however, is deceptive. "There's a beautiful architecture" to the cytoplasm, Dr. Bassler said. "Everything is in the right place and bumping around, and the membrane holds them together so they can't get away from each other."
When the Venter team inserted the synthetic version of the Mycoplasma mycoides genome into the cellular housing of the Mycoplasma capricolum bacterium, the newcomer took full advantage of the resident cytoplasmic wares. It used the thousands of little biodevices called ribosomes to stitch together amino acids into new proteins. It relied on complex molecular assemblages to maintain its DNA in working order and to duplicate that DNA when it was time to divide. It thanked its lucky base pairs that a greasy lipid cell membrane and stiffer bacterial wall not only kept the inside appropriately, bioactively dense, but also kept the outside appropriately out, for an exposed cytoplasm would soon be scavenged for parts, most likely by a neighboring microbe.
Considered together, the modern cell is dauntingly complex, which is why most researchers in the youngish field of synthetic biology address only one or two pieces of it at a time. Last year, George Church of Harvard Medical School and his colleagues reported that they had created an artificial ribosome. James J. Collins, the co-director of the Center for Biodynamics at Boston University, is working on a synthetic DNA toggle switch, to flip genes on and off at will.
In Denmark, Dr. Rasmussen is seeking to design the most stripped-down minimalist suggestion of a functioning cell. As he sees it, there are three basic capacities that a living cell must possess. It must have a means of channeling free energy in the environment to meet its demands: that is, it must have some form of metabolism. It must have an enclosure: a cell membrane. And it must have the informational wherewithal to reproduce itself: a genome. Dr. Rasmussen and his co-workers have devised reasonable if crude facsimiles of the three cellular non-negotiables, and they've managed to merge two of them together in any given experiment — and in one case even all three of them. The goal of contriving a self-replicating and autonomously metabolizing protocell, however, continues to elude them. "We have the instruments," he said, "but it doesn't sound like an orchestra yet."
Just pick up your baton, hum a few bars, and give it three billion years.
The Basics column on June 1, about the researcher J. Craig Venter's claim to have created the first "synthetic cell," included an incorrect reference to Mycoplasma, the bacteria Dr. Venter's team used in its work. Unlike nearly all other types of bacteria, Mycoplasma lack cell walls; they do not have a "stiffer bacterial wall."

Welcome to
Copyright © by Lookout Trail
Our location is in the center of Missouri about 11 miles west of Jefferson City in the rural Village of Centertown. We have a small farm of about 15 acres. I got my first Aussie in March of 2000 because I was home alone alot while my husband worked late and weekends and I wanted a companion, so I did a lot of research with temperament the most important because I wanted a best friend and thats what I got, my husbands best friend. It is true the Aussie picks their people.
After that I became interested in conformation, I went to shows alone at first, then I decided to get Jake and give conformation a try. So because I was not physical able to run in the ring I recruited my cousin to show Jake for me. Then my sister Cindy and family were stationed at Kansas City, Missouri. After spending time with my Aussies during visits to my home and attending her first show in Kansas City, she was hooked. Cindy has Aussies now and is now showing her Aussie Mater. Thus the beginning of Lookout Trail Australian Shepherds".
Cindy and her family have been transferred to Hohenfels, Bayern, Germany. Look for Cindy and Mater in the German ASCA Show ring. Whoop Whoop!!!

Australian Shepherds
We both have different occupations and daily lives. However, we both have in common our love for the Australian Shepherd breed. It is important to us to have fun and make it fun for our dogs and at the same time produce the very best dogs for conformation, performance and loving pets. Before breeding a dog it is evaluated for soundness of body and mind, temperament, structure, movement and passes all genetic testing.
Our Goals
Our Beginning
Web Counter
The Aussie is a very intelligent breed, easy to train and highly active; they are not a breed suited to being left in the back yard alone all the time. They will get bored and become destructive (i.e. digging, chewing, barking etc.). Aussies are of the herding group with high prey instinct and a built in instinct to herd. They may try to herd kids, other cats and dogs or even cars.
They live to please their owners and have an intense desire to be with "their humans" at all times. I rarely go anywhere without at least two of them under my feet for fear of missing something. However, this desire and activity level is not for everyone. An Aussie is very active so if you don't have a large fenced yard, or are at least willing to play ball, Frisbee, or take the dog for walks daily, this may not be the breed for you. If you decide this is the right breed for you, then the possibilities are endless as to what you and your Aussie can do together.
Aussies are protective of their humans, yard, cars, kids etc. This can vary among individual dogs. While some Aussies will bark and then become friendly once their owners say it's OK, others will remain suspicious and reserved around strangers.

Sweet Dreams is described as a "candied pink" nail polish with a "3D holographic effect". I think this color combination is really beautiful. It is bright pink with different sized golden flecks giving it the holographic appearance. This is another of the Deborah Lippmann limited edition summer colors. Like Ray of Light, this also has as a jelly-like finish. I liked this polish a little better as it seemed easier to apply – but that may be because I was getting used to the thicker formula after some practice. I couldn't help but think that this nail polish would be what Glenda the Good Witch and Barbie would come up with if they collaborated on a color – hot pink and sparkly! Like Ray of Light, this formula felt a little thick, but looked great. You could wear this alone or over another color of your choice for a different effect. These photos were taken after 2 coats on bare nails.

As of earlier today, it looked like this was still available on the Bloomingdales website for $18. Thoughts? Would you wear this to work or just for a special occasion?

Sometime ago I was asked to design an Azure Defined Datacentre.
The overriding design principal was that it's footprint must resemble what one would typically find in a traditional 'terrestrial' deployment that has a large dependency on developing in-house line of business applications (LOB). That is to say that it had to consist of four independent environments, or tenants: development, testing, staging, and production.
With today's emphasis on continuous integration and agile development this concept of segregating four identical environments can be cumbersome to the application lifecycle and deployment management and there are perhaps better models to follow, however the decision had been made.
Sometimes ours is not to reason why, ours is but to do and design. And so the stage had been set.
At the highest level the business requirements were:
- Extend the current terrestrial environment into Azure
- Create four logically separated environments as listed above
- Security and billing boundaries must exist between the environments for auditing and consumption control
- It must allow for resiliency and failover by stretching the solution across two geographic Azure regions
Keep in mind that all of this was prior to the general availability (GA) of some of the capabilities of Azure Resource Manager so I was forced to make certain decisions then that I probably wouldn't make now. But such is the case when you find yourself living with the breakneck cadence of change that is inherent when working with the greatest public cloud platform on earth (MSFT you can find my billing details under my Xbox account to reward me for that shout out). Or any public cloud offering for that matter…my colleagues who are devoted to AWS and OpenStack I am sure face the same realities.
The subscription taxonomy was most notably affected. At the time I was unable to use tagging or implement Resource Groups in order to achieve requirement #3 above. The unavailability of UDR (User Defined Routing) also posed a challenge but I was able to get around that with the help of a well-known third party virtual appliance provi…..oh, hell, I'll just say it: It was my good friends at Barracuda Networks that helped me get around this issue. We needed a way to ensure that traffic amongst subscriptions and their respective VNets stayed within the fabric and did not have to 'bounce down and up' an ExpressRoute circuit in order to be routed.
And so it began with this high concept scribble (on my Surface Pro 3, of course).
Not much to look at but it gave a 40,000 high level view and provided two things:
- I didn't have to exercise my Visio OCD and spend hours getting boxes to line up perfectly (yeah, I know, there are only four, but those of you who would understand – understand).
- I quickly realised that even though these environments were to be logically separated that some services (name resolution, authentication and authorisation, certain file services, etc.) would need to be shared. After all it would be a nightmare to deploy four separate forests and their dependencies in order to support the solution.
So far so good. But how do we tether back to HQ?
Fortunately, as I was sweating over site-to-site VPNs, gateways, and the like, MSFT made an important announcement: ExpressRoute (#XR) now supported multiple subscriptions hanging off of the same dedicate circuit, albeit in a piggy back fashion.
This would allow us to carve up our 1GB connection into #XR 'lanes' for the purposes of bandwidth assignment. Whist it's beyond the scope of this ramble to dive into #XR at length there are essentially two options for #XR: connecting it through a network service provider (NSP) or an exchange provider (amazingly I have no acronym for this one). Depending on your points of termination within your terrestrial datacentres you'll have the option to go with one or the other or both. The primary differentiator is the bandwidth that will be available to you. We had to go through an NSP and so had a maximum of 1GB to work with.
We now had the subscription taxonomy, knew that we were going to share some core services, and use #XR to connect back into our two terrestrial datacentres. It was time to go back to the drawing board and further flesh things out.
For the next evolution I started to drill down into more specifics as I began to think about the wider eco-system and other ongoing efforts that were in motion and how they would fit into the picture: O365 adoption and SSO for third party services for example.
Besides being wonderfully colourful the scribble to the left revealed a number of things:
- Per the requirements it captured the four environments and their associated subscriptions: SubProd, SubStage, SubTest, and SubDev
- It introduced the concept of wrapping each subscription around its own virtual network (VNet), or Super VNets as they would later become known
- It depicted an area for core services mentioned above although these seem to be 'hanging' in the ether at the moment
- I also realised that we would need some form of DMZ (duh), not unlike the traditional terrestrial DMZs we all know and love, to house things like a web application proxy (WAP) or a *spoiler alert* web application firewall (WAF)
- Azure Active Directory (AAD) had to be included because I knew that O365 was coming down the pike and there were murmurs of Power BI
- Ancillary capabilities like Azure SSO & MFA were called out to light up third party web based applications like SalesForce, SAP, and the like.
This was only half of the picture, of course, as there was to be another mirrored deployment across the English Channel to fulfil the resiliency, high-availability, and business continuity requirements.
Now that we had all or most of the components represented I had to somehow string them all together in a fashion that provided the following:
- Efficiency in routing for both performance and cost control. I knew that any egress traffic out of the Azure datacentres would incur costs as well as any traffic flowing between regions. For this reason, it was imperative that intra-region, inter-subscription traffic be confined to the fabric and not require traversal of #XR to reach its intended target.
- Robust network analytics must be made available regardless of where traffic was being generated or consumed
- A security model that could be easily surfaced and ideally visually represented
- Management that could quickly be adopted by traditional network engineers
This posed, and still poses in some cases, manageability issues with regards to Azure's data and control planes. While Network Security Groups (NSGs) and Access Control Lists (ACLs) can do most in the way of network segregation there is no easy way to fully configure them outside of the beloved PowerShell. Even then the management and operational handover of the architecture is a challenge because unless you have a network engineer who is keen to learn PowerShell (anyone?) or dive into User Defined Routing (UDR) Azure-style then it will be difficult to transfer ownership in such a way as to achieve Operational Acceptance (OA).
Analytics also pose a challenge. This may have changed by now but at the time there was no way to robustly inspect traffic to and from VNets and/or subscriptions in the way that one might wish to do so today with any number of physical devices. Never forget your network team.
Enter the virtual network appliance:
Widely used interface that is familiar to network engineers and architects? Check.
Easily mapped visual of the underlying architecture? Check.
Robust analytics for security auditing and anomaly detection? Check.
Able to route entirely within the fabric? Check.
And so we arrive at the final evolution. No longer a scribble but an actual Visio diagram.
If you are going through a fast paced sprint into the cloud and you don't have a visual representation of what your cloud looks like, get one. I can not emphasise this enough. A picture truly is worth a thousand words…or in the case of an Excel spreadsheet – 10,000 rows.
So here are the characteristics of my blueprint and what will eventually be built:
- Azure Core Virtualised Network (ACVN) for Azure Region I which will more or less be duplicated in Azure Region II
- Four Azure subscriptions each 'wrapped' by a Super vNet representing development, test, staging, and production
- Each subscription and its corresponding vNet have dedicated subnets (Vsnet) which house virtual network appliances that will govern traffic to and from subscriptions, provide analytics, and provide a familiar interface for my network engineers
- vNetProd contains a dedicated vSnet for a DMZ that will at first house a WAP, or WAF, to facilitate ADFS and other services
- vNetProd also contains a dedicated Service Layer Vsnet which house our virtual network appliances. To start with these are firewalls but the service layer is capable of expanding to include other appliances such as WAN optimisation (Riverbed, for example) products and others.
- The cornerstone of each subscription is a network appliance which allows for intra-regional traffic to be contained within the fabric, and within its own subscription if so desired, without the need to traverse the #XR circuit (disregard any model numbers as they were used as placeholders)
- vNetProd contains a dedicated vSnet to house core, or foundation, services like domain controllers, ADFS servers, files services, or anything else that makes sense to share amongst subscriptions.
And there you have it! From scribbles to reality.
Clearly the behind the scenes story was much more involved: countless discussions, heated debates, loathed politics, the involvement of my friends at both Microsoft and Barracuda (as well as other big players in the network space), collaboration between myself and my colleagues at Network-Insight and MonoConsultancy, and of course the direction of the world class Azure Programme team in Redmond and around the world.
All in all it was a great journey and I look forward to the next one which is already underway….so stay tuned AND STAY TETHERED.

This was adult basketball, where you don't need to be Einstein to observe that all objects, especially humans, slow down. Way down.
Yet even at age 55, with no discernible vertical leap, this ball was mine. Basketball in hand, I headed for the hoop with only one defender, another parent at my daughters' school, in my path. To my right, a teammate joined me. The fast break was on.
It was a situation I had been in thousands of times, but this classic two-on-one break was different from all others. That's because filling the lane alongside me was Tom Rothman, the head of 20th Century Fox. And I was a writer. With a spec script in my gym bag.
The mechanics of the two-on-one break are simple: Head for the basket. If the defender moves to guard you, pass to your teammate for an easy layup. If he doesn't guard you, the easy layup is yours. But nothing was easy here because the player in the other lane, with a simple nod of his head, could greenlight my first feature deal.
I had worked in television for years, and a bit of good fortune had allowed me to take some time off. At this point, I had no intention of returning to face the demands and politics of network TV. Feature films were the answer. And in an instant, I realized, this fast break might be my fast break into the world of motion pictures.
Although most of my game has all but disappeared, the ability to pass remains. With that in mind, my mission was clear: All I had to do was head for the basket and—at the last second—toss a perfect pass, let the studio chief hit the game-winner, share a high-five, tell him "great shot" (even though it's a bucket Sherry Lansing could make in heels) and then sit and chat in the bleachers, allowing the message that "Wow, that Gilbert guy is a team player and easy to work with" subliminally sink into his sweaty corporate head. After that, it would to be a quick jump from "love to read that spec" to a three-picture deal.
By now, my new boss Tom and I were passing the top of the key. The defender, a non-pro in all senses of the word, was back on his heels, not sure what to do. And then it struck me: What if I passed to Tom and he missed?
Would a studio head say "my bad"—or was he going to blame me for a sloppy pass that caused him to miss a potentially game-winning layup, and maybe even mention my incompetence to other studio heads? It's a small world, and these things get around.
Suddenly, we were crossing the foul line, aligned like senior synchronized swimmers. The guy on D was a split-second away from making his decision about whom to guard, oblivious that my entire future was in his hands.
About five feet from the basket, all analysis ended and instinct took over. The defender was on his heels, and there was nothing between me and the rim. It had been an interesting intellectual exercise, but now it was layup time—for me. Besides, I'd done fine in Hollywood without kissing anybody's butt, so why should I start now?
Who was to say that this big, perspiring guy with thick glasses was going to help me anyway, even if I gave him the perfect pass? It was a ridiculous thought from the beginning. Decision made. I was going to take the shot myself, and if that meant no deal at Fox, I still had enough equity in my Hancock Park house to survive without those ungrateful suits.
And then, at the last instant, it happened.
The defender, still back on his heels, tripped on his new Nikes, sending him sprawling toward my feet. With no choice—but, more importantly, acting as if it were planned all along—I swiftly tossed the ball to Tom. He glided to the hoop and sank the uncontested layup. Game over.
Yes, I passed the ball to the studio bigwig. But not because of politics or to snag Writers Guild health coverage. I did it because it was the right play.
"Nice pass," Tom said. And then I said "Nice shot," just like in my script. But then he picked up his gym bag, said "Gotta go" and walked out. I never saw him again.
But I know he remembers me. He has to. It was a great pass
And if not, I'll have to take the more traditional career route: I've heard about a game on the Westside with some pretty powerful agents.

FREEPORT, Maine (AP) — It's Father's Day and dads love free stuff, so the state of Maine's decision to open its state parks for free might be especially well timed.
Maine State Parks and Historic Sites are free all day on Sunday for state residents. Gov. Paul LePage, a dad himself, says Maine State Parks attracted a record of 2.87 million visitors last year and the state hopes to bring in even more this year.
The free day does not apply to a handful of sites, including Scarborough Beach State Park and Baxter State Park. Park-goers are encouraged to check with Maine State Parks beforehand.

Oh dear, I thought I'd do better than I did in this quiz:
Andrew Alden put too many tricks in there for me to do very well at all. I'm so ashamed of how badly I won't even share my score!
The answers to the quiz can be found here:
I did however, get question 14 right...
Which of these would professional geologists probably not do: fossicking, frolicking, rimrocking, rocklicking?
When I was actually a professional geologist I would occasionally do some frolicking and almost certainly rocklicking, if I was looking for Uranium (I never got the chance) I might even be doing some rimrocking, but I technically could not be a fossicker. However, since my current profession is a step away from geology I don't consider myself a professional geologist and I can now go fossicking.
Just one of those weird things that has confused my Christmas. Speaking of Christmas, I hope all my readers had a lovely Christmas day. At least you don't have to be a professional to experience Christmas because thankfully Christmas represents a time where everyone who wants to can be freed by the actions of a person on our behalf.
Anyway, happy 2013 to all.

Hamachi Network Adapter Error – How to Fix Guide
Many of you may be using Hamachi network adapter. This is a VPN application. But while using this VPN application people come across different types of errors. The most common type of error is the Hamachi network adapter error. It is important to determine the real cause of the error and based on this one needs to find a solution. Sometimes the person may have to try out different things and trial and error methods in order to eliminate the error. For this you will have to take technical help.
What does the Hamachi network adapter error mean?
This error clearly indicates the failure of the adapter. You need to troubleshoot and find a solution to the problem.
The probable reasons for the Hamachi network adapter error:
There are a number of things due to which the person may get this error. In some cases you will need help from a good tech support team. Some of the reasons are as follows:
- There may be a software firewall which may be causing the error.
- There may be an issue with the device manager and you will have to take the required steps to rectify the same.
- There may be some issues with the DHCP client and with the network connections
- Sometimes Winsock issues may also be the root cause of the problem
- There may be a problem with the system due to which you are getting the error
Solutions for the Hamachi network adapter error:
The things that you need to try out in order to rectify the problem will depend on the root cause of the problem.

Coachella Day 1 was awesome. Of course. I'll post more details later with pictures, but quickly:
Lots of crappy bands in the afternoon until Imogen Heap. She was really incredible in person. Good stuff in the dance tent: Hybrid and Daft Punk being the highlights. Also, Franz Ferdinand and Depeche Mode put on some really fun shows at the main stage last night.
Today is just getting started. It should be a good day and I am especially looking forward to Bloc Party and Yeah Yeah Yeahs. But the heat is really intense today. At least I am wearing my brand new fair-trade sun dress!

Sunrise, Sunset
Much like life, the stage changes even when our vantage point doesn't. And so it is with the rising and setting sun, no two are ever the same. Every picture tells another color, shape and shadow story - whatever unfolds each day reveals the diversity and beauty of life. Birds, insects, reptiles, trees, sandy shores - all thrive under the majesty of the sun. In her photos, Weiss offers all of this as a show of gratitude, a tribute to the awe of each new day. captured from the very same vantage point, the very same terrace. Turning a hobby into a book, she was fortunate enough to recruit authors and colleagues, mostly, with whom she's worked in the past two decades including: Jack Canfield, Marci Shimoff, M.J.

Volcano Bay Waterpark Construction Update #7 ~ Universal Orlando Resort
There's an ocean's worth of changes now happening weekly at Universal's new water park Volcano Bay!
First up an update on that steel structure for Honu, we showed you last week:
It has now been bolted and put into place, and even cooler to see at the add the slide covering pieces to it:
More pieces are waiting to be put into place as we can see from all the nearby vacant support footers and some more crates labeled "TN WAVE":
Also, nearby we notice a splash pool coming into place for Ika Moana and Honu:
Over at Krakatau Mountain some of the brown facade pieces have begun getting covered in concrete:
At the base, not much has changed at the wave pool other than pieces being stored in it:
Our lazy or action river trough now has some very colorful red paint or seal being applied under the trio of slides it crosses under:
On the other end of the trough, a miniature overpass, maybe a pathway is being constructed:
These footers closer to the freeway continue to sit empty:
But possibly not for long as there are tons of slide pieces sitting in the distance:
These buildings we've been keeping up on have the beginnings of a roof:
Closing out this update with a view of the water coaster which hasn't made much flume work progress since out last update, but looks like it could be about to with several pieces nearby:
We also notice more of the station/ loading area coming into form at this time including a roof structure:
With another update and visit to the site in the books we, as always, can't wait to go back! Be sure to check out our previous updates!
Check out our recently post for updates on everything happening around Universal Orlando!

What are the best U.S. airports for dating?
For some people, picking someone up at the airport has a different meaning.
On the North Miami-based MeetAtTheAirport.com, travelers can find other people who want to grab a drink or coffee during a long wait or layover at an airport.
The website has made airport dating a little easier by ranking the best airports for "hooking up."
"The bottom line is: why should travelers sit at a bar and eat overly priced junk food when they could be spending time with a beautiful stranger? I know which one I prefer," says Steve Pasternack, CEO and founder of MeetAtTheAirport.com.
In the battle between West Coast vs. East Coast airports, the East was victorious. East Coast airports ranked highest among the website's members because they tend to have the worst weather, the longest delays and the best amenities. That means single travelers have more time to mingle.
Bigger airports also were the most popular for all the reasons most other travelers would dislike them: They have lousy on-time departure records. But they make up for that by having more restaurants and bars. And when travelers have a lot of time to drink and meet, anything can happen.

MeetAtTheAirport.com surveyed its 60,000 members to come up with the top five airports for hooking up. The organizers of the survey also took into consideration other factors such as airport size, restaurant and bar options, weather, Yelp reviews, unusual amenities, and rare demographic groups. With 25% responding, this is what they came up with:
Orlando International Airport. This airport got the top spot because it has 54 restaurants, bars and other social amenities. The on-time departure rate has hovered around 81% to 83% the last two years. And 550 Yelp reviewers gave it 3.5 out of 5 stars. But what really put it over the top is that it's got an on-site Hyatt Regency Hotel within the main terminal that bills itself as "much more than just a place to stay before a flight." The hotel offers a convenient day room rate for travelers just passing through.
Miami International Airport. Its 600-plus Yelp reviews only gave it 2 out of 5 stars. But the airport has more than 88 social amenities, restaurants and bars. And on-time departure rates are around 76% to 77%. The organizers of the survey point out that it draws an interesting international crowd as the largest gateway between the USA and Latin America.

Newark International Airport. Survey respondents said they had some of the longest delays at this airport. Not surprising given how congested New York City airspace is. Newark's proximity to New York was another reason it landed in the top 5. Its location attracts a variety of travelers from Wall Street honchos to supermodels to international men and women of mystery. At the very least, it makes for good people-watching.
Logan International Airport. Boston's airport does not have that many amenities. What it does have a lot of is bad weather — snow, blizzards, etc. And lots of passengers. When you get stuck at Logan, you're really stuck. But you're never alone.
Philadelphia International Airport. The City of Brotherly Love apparently also has an airport of Brotherly Love. There are 16 bars, seven lounges, 57 restaurants, and one magic shop, according to survey organizers. Based on the survey, 65% of respondents said Philadelphia had their favorite airport to meet people because of delayed flights, its large size, its proximity to the tri-state region, and its friendly locals.

There has been a great deal of talk this past few years about psychic abuse. Many people don't truly understand what this
is. Our medics have no idea and really believe that all these people are just plain crazy. Not true at all. We all have a
certain level of crazy or insane thinking in everyone of us but psychic abuse is not a part of that although it can surly
make you crazy if you do not understand it.
Especially Psychic possession.
Physic possession is when another person is constantly on your mind. This has happened to me many times and years ago I nearly
went nuts with it. In fact I signed myself into the North York General Hospitals Psychic ward for three days just to have
a doctor tell me I needed to be medicated. This doctor was terrified of the entire situation.
How can we correct a problem if we fear it?
Not possible.
1.A few years ago a young girl came to me from Richmond Hill. She was shouting and screaming at people whom where not present.
This girl would have total spazz attacks, completely out of the blue. She would do horrid things to herself, like cut herself
up and risk her life, when these spazzes would occur.
One day she came to my home and had to use the bathroom. She was in there for over three hours. All we could here form the
bathroom was this child yelling and fighting at people whom were not present. She was terrified and it took quite a while
to get her to come out of the room to talk. Finally we got her to come into the living room and I asked her whom she was talking
She explained that in her mind she was having arguments with her mother, father and aunt. These people did not like her personality
or attitude and were constantly on her case about it.
I asked her for her mothers phone number. I dialed the number to find that the three {mother, father, aunt} were having a
visit and were discussing this girls problems. Immediately I began to work with this child, helping her to understand telepathy.
She understood very quickly and was able to stop the conversations and arguments with the skills I taught her. She is now
a married woman, living in New Jersey, healthy, happy and not on any medications. She is also one of the best psychics I have
2. A year ago I asked a person to help out with LoveCry. He was in agreement with that but wanted many changes to the way
we were doing things that we did not agree with at all. He literally wanted to take over and run the show. This person did
not have the experience needed to do this so we opposed.
Here we talk about psychic abuse a great deal and this person was well educated in the subject. He did not care whom he hurt
to get what he wanted and he began to play head games with all of us. His goal was to have our situation here explode from
the inside. Some of us already knew how to protect ourselves but some were not so great at it yet so there was some damage
done. The point is that he was on all of our minds for several months. I spoke to him many times about it, as the kids and
I were getting very ill from his consistent psychic head games. He was a very good player.
Psychic abuse is one of the most dangerous abuses within our society today as it can not be see, herd or felt other then within
our minds and emotions. No visual or sound evidence of the abuse is shown. Many people are suffering from psychic abuse on
a daily basis and have no idea it is even happening. The rate of what seem to be normal people being charged with violent
offenses or being admitted to hospital, put on prescribed drugs or using more dangerous alternative drugs and alcohol has
risen phenomenally in the past decade.
Psychic abuse is one of the main reasons for these life horrors, and is most used in the art of sexual seduction and mind
control. Learn to protect your mind from this hideous abuse.
Very soon a new movie will be hitting our theaters. This movie has been taken from one of the most controversial book written
during the 90's entitled The Celestine Prophecies by James Redfield.
Below is a piece I believe everyone in our society needs to know about and learn to help get abuse in our families and communities
stopped. As long as we are being manipulated and manipulating we will be abusive as it is within our free will we find peace.

Energy Vampires
We must face up to our particular way of controlling others. Remember, the Fourth Insight reveals that humans have always
felt short of energy and have sought to control each other to acquire the energy that flows between people. The Fifth then
shows us that an alternative source exists, but we can't really stay connected with this source until we come to grips with
the particular method that, we, as individuals, use in our controlling, and stop doing it-- because whenever we fall back
into this habit, we get disconnected from the source.
Getting rid of this habit isn't easy because it's always unconscious at first. The key to letting it go is to bring it fully
into consciousness, and we do that by seeing that our particular style of controlling others is one we learned in childhood
to get attention, to get the energy moving our way, and we're stuck there. This style is something we repeat over and over
again... our unconscious control drama.
I call it a drama because it is one familiar scene, like a scene in a movie, for which we write the script as youths. Then
we repeat this scene over and over in our daily lives without being aware of it. All we know is that the same kind of events
happen to us repeatedly. The problem is if we are repeating one particular scene over and over, then the other scenes of our
real life movie, the high adventure marked by coincidences, can't go forward. We stop the movie when we repeat this one drama
in order to manipulate for energy.
"A perfect example of how a control drama interferes [is] how you were so aloof you didn't allow an important coincidence
to take place. Everyone plays a drama of [some] kind. At least now you know how yours works.
Your way of controlling people and situations... in order to get energy coming your way, is to create this drama in your mind
during which you withdraw and look mysterious and secretive. You tell yourself that you're being cautious but what you're
really doing is hoping someone will be pulled into this drama and will try to figure out what's going on with you. When someone
does, you remain vague, forcing them to struggle and dig and try to discern your true feelings.
The first step in the process of getting clear, for (p127) each of us, is to bring our particular control drama into full
consciousness. Nothing can proceed until we really look at ourselves and discover what we are doing to manipulate for energy.
The next step [is that] each of us must go back into our past, back into our early family life, and see how this habit was
formed. Seeing its inception keeps our way of controlling in consciousness. Remember, most of our family members were operating
in a drama themselves, trying to pull energy out of us as children. This is why we had to form a control drama in the first
place. We had to have a strategy to win energy back. It is always in relation to our family members that we develop our particular
dramas. However, once we recognize the energy dynamics in our families, we can go past these control strategies and see what
was really happening.
Each person must reinterpret his family experience from an evolutionary point of view, from a spiritual point of view, and
discover who he really is. Once we do that, our control drama falls away and our real lives take off.
[You] begin... by first understanding how your drama was formed.
Tell me about your father.
Well, he was always critical. I could never do anything right.
How did he criticize you?
He asked questions, then found something wrong with the answers.
And what happened to your energy?
I guess I felt drained so I tried to keep from telling him anything.
You mean you got vague and distant, trying to say things in a way that would get his attention but not reveal enough to give
him something to criticize. He was an interrogator and you dodged around him with your aloofness.
An interrogator is another kind of drama. People who use this means of gaining energy set up a drama of asking questions and
probing into another person's world with the specific purpose of finding something wrong. Once they do, then they criticize
this aspect of the other's life. If this strategy succeeds then the person being criticized is pulled into the drama. They
suddenly find themselves becoming self-conscious around the interrogator and paying attention to what the interrogator is
doing and thinking about, so as to not do something wrong that the interrogator would notice. The psychic deference gives
the interrogator the energy he desires.
Think about the times you have been around someone like this. When you get caught up in this drama, don't you tend to act
a certain way so that the person won't criticize you? He pulls you off your own path and drains your energy because you judge
yourself by what he might be thinking.
Let me explain the classifications spoken of in the Manuscript.... Everyone manipulates for energy either aggressively, directly
forcing people to pay attention to them, or passively, playing on people's sympathy or curiosity to gain attention. For instance,
if someone threatens you, either verbally or physically, then you are forced, for fear of something bad happening to you,
to pay attention to him and so to give him energy. The person threatening you would be pulling you into the most aggressive
kind of drama, what the Sixth Insight calls the intimidator.
If, on the other hand, someone tells you all the horrible things that are (p129) already happening to them, implying perhaps
that you are responsible, and that, if you refuse to help, these horrible things are going to continue, then this person is
seeking to control at the most passive level, with what the Manuscript calls a poor me drama. Think about this for a moment.
Haven't you ever been around someone who makes you feel guilty when you're in their presence, even though you know there is
no reason to feel this way?
It's because you have entered the drama world of a poor me. Everything they say and do puts you in a place where you have
to defend against the idea that you're not doing enough for this person. That's why you feel guilty just being around them.
Anyone's drama can be examined... according to where it falls on this spectrum from aggressive to passive. If a person is
subtle in their aggression, finding fault and slowly undermining your world in order to get your energy, then, as we say in
your father, this person would be an interrogator. Less passive than the poor me would be your aloofness drama. So the order
of dramas goes this way: intimidator, interrogator, aloof, and poor me.
Some people use more than one in different circumstances, but most of us have one dominant control drama that we tend to repeat,
depending on which one worked well on the members of our early family.
If you are a child and someone is draining your energy by threatening you with bodily harm then being aloof doesn't work.
You can't get them to give you energy by playing coy. They don't give a damn what's going on inside you. They're coming on
too strong. So you're forced to become more passive and to try the poor me approach, appealing to the mercy of this person,
guilt tripping them about the harm they are doing.
If this doesn't work, then, as a child you endure until you are big enough to explode against the violence and fight aggression
with aggression.
A person goes to whatever extreme necessary to get attention energy in their family. And after that, this strategy becomes
their dominant way of controlling to get energy from everyone, the drama they constantly repeat.
How does the interrogator develop?
What would you do if you were a child and your family members were either not there or ignored you because they were preoccupied
with their careers or something? Playing aloof would not get their attention; they wouldn't notice. Wouldn't you have to resort
to probing and prying and finally finding something wrong in these aloof people in order to force attention and energy? This
is what an interrogator does.
Aloof people create interrogators [and] interrogators make people aloof. And intimidators create the poor me approach, or
if this fails, another intimidator.
That's how control dramas perpetuate themselves. But remember, there is a tendency to see these dramas in others but to think
that we ourselves are free from such devices. Each of us must transcend this illusion before we can go on. Almost all of us
tend to be stuck, at least some of the time, in a drama and we have to step back and look at ourselves long enough to discover
what it is.
Once we see our drama, what happens next [is] we are truly free to become more than the unconscious act we play. As I said
before, we can find a higher meaning for our lives, a spiritual reason we were born to our particular families. We can begin
to get clear about who we really are.
[About finding "true self"]
There's only one way. Each of us has to go back to our family experience, that childhood time and place, and review what happened.
Once we become conscious of our control drama, then we can focus on the higher truth of our family, the silver lining... that
lies beyond the energy conflict. Once we find this truth, it can energize our lives, for this truth tells us who we are, the
path we are on, what we are doing.
The process of finding your true spiritual identity involves looking at your whole life as one long story, trying to find
a higher meaning. Begin by asking yourself this question: Why was I born to this particular family? What might have been the
purpose for that?
What did your father stand for?
Has he been able to do this?
Have you thought about why?
What about your mother?
Can you see what her life represented?
So where did that leave you?
Didn't they both want your allegiance? Wasn't that why they were interrogating you, to make sure you weren't siding with the
values of the other? Didn't they both want you to think their way was the best?
You're looking for the meaning her life has for you, the reason you were born to her, what you were there to learn. Every
human being, whether they are conscious of it or not illustrates with their lives how he or she thinks a human being is supposed
to live. You must try to discover what she taught you and at the same time what about her life could have been done better.
What you would have changed about your mother is part of what you yourself are working on. [And} (p138) how you would improve
on your father's life is the other part.
We are not merely the physical creation of our parents; we are also the spiritual creation. You were born to these two people
and their lives had an irrevocable effect on who you are. To discover your real self, you must admit that the real you began
in a position between their truths. That's why you were born there: to take a higher perspective on what they stood for. Your
path is about discovering a truth that is a higher synthesis of what these two people believed.
[Example related to main character]
How does one live a life that is both? From your mother you received the knowledge that life is about spirituality. From your
father you learned that life is about self-enhancement, (p139) fun, adventure. For you, spirituality is the question. Your
whole life will be about finding one that is self-enhancing. This is the problem your parents were unable to reconcile, the
one they left for you. This is your evolutionary question, your quest this lifetime.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
You can go right back into your old drama, or you can wake up tomorrow and hold on to this new idea of who you are. If you
do then you can take the next step in the process, which is to look closely at all the other things that have happened to
you since birth. If you view your life as one story, from birth to right now, you'll be able to see how you have been working
on this question all along. You'll be able to see how you came to be here in and what you should do next.
The Sixth Insight is my special insight. My truth is helping others grasp this insight. And I'm effective because I've gone
through the process myself. I was an interrogator.
My father was a poor me and my mother was aloof. They completely ignored me. The only way I could get any attention energy
was to pry into what they were doing and then point out something wrong with it.
My father stood for accomplishment. He was very goal oriented. He planned his time to the minute and judged himself according
to how much he got done. My mother was very intuitive and mystical. She believed that each of us received spiritual guidance
and that life was about following this direction.
Because of my father I was sensitized to the idea that life was about accomplishment: having something important to do and
getting it done. But at the same time my mother was there to tell me life was about inner direction, an intuitive guidance
of some sort. I realized that my life was a synthesis of both viewpoints. I was trying to discover how we are guided inwardly
toward the mission only we can do, knowing it is of supreme importance to pursue this mission if we are to feel happy and
And you can see why I was excited about the Sixth Insight. As soon as I read it I knew that my work was to help people get
clear so that they could develop this sense of purpose.
Wil's drama was to be aloof, like yours. Also, as in your case, each of his parents was an interrogator and each had a strong
philosophy they wanted Wil to adopt. Wil's father was a German novelist who argued that the ultimate destiny of the human
race was to perfect itself. His father never advocated anything but the purest of humanitarian principles, but the Nazis used
his basic idea of perfection to help legitimatize their murderous liquidation of inferior races.
The corruption of his theme destroyed the old man and led him to (p142) move to South America with his wife and Wil. His wife
was a Peruvian who grew up in America and was educated there. She was a writer too, but she was basically Eastern in her philosophical
beliefs. She held that life was about reaching an inner enlightenment, a high consciousness marked by peace of mind and detachment
from the things of the world. According to her, life was not about perfection; it was about letting go of the need to perfect
anything, to go anywhere.
His father championed the Western idea of working for progress and perfection and his mother held the Eastern belief that
life was only about reaching inner peace, nothing else.
These two people had prepared Wil to work on integrating the main philosophical differences between Eastern and Western culture,
although he didn't know it at first. He first became an engineer dedicated to progress and then a simple guide who sought
peace by bringing people to the beautiful, inwardly moving places in this country.
But searching out the Manuscript awakened all this in him. The insights spoke directly to his main question. They reveal that
the thought of both East and West can indeed be integrated into a higher truth. They show us that the West is correct in maintaining
that life is about progress, about evolving toward something higher. Yet the East is also correct in emphasizing that we must
let go of control with the ego. We can't progress by using logic alone. We have to attain a fuller consciousness, an inner
connection with God because only then can our evolution toward something better be guided by a higher part of ourselves.

Radical Treatment Option Needed for Obama's Scandal Sickness
"I'm not sure how many of those cases ... I have actually signed off on."
-- Attorney General Eric Holder in a Tuesday interview with National Public Radio when asked how often he has authorized the seizure of reporter records.
The acting director of the IRS has left his post three weeks ahead of schedule, but how can it be that others more intimately involved with the targeting and harassment of the president's political enemies are still on the job today?
That's the first question facing the White House today as the president continues to struggle to find his feet amid broadening allegations of wrongdoing against his administration.
As FOX News colleague Bret Baier learned just after President Obama's announcement of the resignation of Steven Miller as the interim head of the agency, Miller was headed for the exits in early June anyway.
Presumably, the president had, or still has, a carefully chosen permanent appointee in the wings since the tax collection agency is crucial to enforcing Obama's 2010 health law. Even without the current scandal, the president knew that the confirmation of a commissioner of Internal Revenue to a five-year term was going to be a battle royal. So Miller's slightly earlier departure is no big deal.
Miller is still expected to testify before the House Ways and Means Committee on Friday, testimony that might become more candid given that he just got the presidential boot. The former acting commissioner certainly may be looking for somewhere to place blame, given that Miller seems to have kept information from Congress about the politically motivated agenda inside the agency.
Miller, who previously oversaw the office at the center of the scandal prior to his elevation, may seek refuge as a whistleblower and say he was under pressure to keep the lid on the damning revelations ahead of the 2012 election or he may clam up given the potential for criminal and civil penalties.
But whatever Miller opts to do, this is not a great moment for an agency already distrusted and now gripped by a massive scandal to be leaderless and still populated by the same people who were on board when the abuses occurred. More than 100 million Americans are waiting for word from the agency about the status of their tax returns, due last month, political activity for the 2014 cycle is gearing up and the agency is scrambling to start imposing Obama's health law.
In announcing Miller's departure, Obama promised to cooperate with congressional investigators and facilitate his administration's own probe. That's good, since Obama's political opponents were the victims of the wrongdoing. Anything that looks like a cover-up would only raise questions about the involvement of others closer to the president. With no national security exemptions to claim, Obama can hardly resist any fact finding.
Given the urgency of the moment for the agency and the depth of the scandal, though, one wonders how Obama can avoid doing more than moving up Miller's departure by a few weeks.
What about Lois Lerner, who ran the office at the center of the controversy? She is still on the job. Agency critics have accused her of a host of wrongdoings, but Lerner, who the Washington Examiner reports today took in $42,531 in bonuses during the period in question, is still there.
If Obama has the clout to kick Miller out early, surely he or Treasury Secretary Jack Lew have the clout to suspend Lerner and others until the investigation is over. To assure taxpayers, he could even find a trustworthy Republican to act as an all-access watchdog until things can be sorted out – that returns and applications will be handled fairly and that no evidence is being destroyed or hidden.
Given the importance and power of the agency and the depth of the abuses of power, Obama might have taken those steps as soon as news reached the White House last month. Of course, that would have required the White House Counsel's office to have informed the president.
That failure, like Obama's conditional and then limited response to the scandal once informed, suggests that Team Obama does not yet understand the severity of its problem. This is big, bad and shows no signs of ending soon. When a president's foes are harassed by the least trusted federal agency, one that is central to that president's legacy project, containment is not a viable political option.
Team Obama is already talking about getting "back on offense" today after cashiering Miller, but given the violations of public trust on talking points about a September attack by Islamist militants on a U.S. diplomatic outpost and a dragnet cast for reporter records, that's just goofy.
While Obama can continue to dibble out information on the Benghazi raid, the other two big scandals besetting his administration, the targeting of his enemies by the IRS and the spying on reporters, will only get worse if the president doesn't do more than just sound upset in making a symbolic firing.
And Now, A Word From Charles
"But then [President Obama] has the chutzpah to essentially warn Republicans not to make this into a political event when what we're talking about is the IRS applying political criteria inexcusably unconstitutionally, probably criminally, in deciding who it's going to investigate. So I found this the bare minimum. It will hold him for 12 hours, but no more."
-- Charles Krauthammer on "Special Report with Bret Baier."
