Just to make sure, what happens when you create a new shortcut to the program's .exe file using an option in the tutorial below?
Shortcut - Create for a File, Folder, Drive, or Program in Windows
|My System Specs

I can create a working shortcut using the instructions you provided but it does not make the shortcut that I am looking for. From within Xmanager I can create a short cut that takes me directly to the ipaddress that I want to connect to. That is the part that has the wrong Target Type. I am hoping I can some how change the target type to match the first set of pics I has sent.
Thanks again for helping!!!

I am wondering if I uninstall the program all together would that remove any associations to that program as well so I can create the correct shortcuts?

Hello again,
So I uninstalled xmanager3 and reinstalled it but I get the save results the Target type is still set to XCAS when I need it set to Xstart session. I am guessing this is a registry setting somewhere I am just not that familiar with changing things in the registry.
|My System Specs
|04 Jun 2015
Since this is a shortcut, see if downloading and merging the .reg file for the list .lnk (LNK) option in the tutorial below may help. It restores the default associations for shortcuts.
Default File Type Associations - Restore
|My System Specs
|04 Jun 2015
the file type I think I need is not in the list but I think I am better under standing what it is I need to do just not sure how to do it.
How can I create one of those .reg files that will associate the "Opens with" for Xrcmd for Xmanager 3.0 to have a Target Type of Xstart session?
|My System Specs
|04 Jun 2015
Using "Open with" on the .xrcmd file to choose Xmanager 3.0 as the default program should.
As a test, unassociate .xrcmd files using OPTION THREE below.
File Extension Type - Unassociate
Afterwards, try using "Open with" again using step 3D in the tutorial below to see if it may do so now.
Open With - Change Default Program
|My System Specs
|05 Jun 2015
I was able to unassoicate the .xrcmd but when I try to do the open with I get this error. Hoping it can be fixed

This weekend, we went down to Huntsville for the wedding of Sara Beth and Matthew. It was a beautiful wedding full of lots of love and laughter. I had the joy of doing the calligraphy for her wedding invitations.
She chose a beautiful ecru paper with deckled edge used a chocolate brown ink in the Savannah style. I loved the look. It was elegant and classy, yet the deckle edge gave it the rustic charm that was so apparent all throughout their wedding day. Here's a storyboard I put together based off of the theme's of Sara Beth and Matt's wedding. Love to them both!

Do you have the Processed Food Blues?
I don't think I could even eat that stuff any more. I am loving my second day on my health journey!
In The Healthy Edge we have 5 goals:
- Eat healthy and low-glycemic every 2-3 hours
- Eat 6 or more Super Foods daily
- Drink 80 oz or more of pure, clean water
- Exercise 45 min or walk 10,000 steps
- Take a high quality pharmaceutical grade supplement as directed.
For the Little Healthy Competition we have very similar goals using a graded point system for a long list of specifics.
My son is thriving on this! He woke up this morning and decided right off to run around the long block with our dog. I wasn't to be outdone, so I took the time to do some weight work and Yoga while he was gone. Peace!
Breakfast was steel-cut oatmeal with fresh fruit- not some boxed cereal for us!
I had errands to run, and left my son actually meditating, doing some relaxation exercises. (you've got to know my son- he has a severe anxiety disorder, and I am always trying to get him to practice his relaxation exercises, but am frequently met with resistance)
Then after a healthy lunch filled with fresh raw veggies and fruit, we headed out to the garden to prepare it for the fall planting. Most of the time, I'm begging my son to help. Not only did he work diligently beside me, but then decided on his own to mow the entire lawn.
Snacks and plenty of water during this busy afternoon. ( I must admit, eating every 3 hours and drinking 80 oz of water is the greatest challenge for me)
A healthy dinner: delicious baked eggplant with tomato sauce and a large salad. And I'm still feeling energized.
Will this last? I don't know- but I sure had a great day today!

It was a whirlwind weekend for the Kootenay ICE.
The team edged out the Saskatoon Blades 3-2 in O-T Friday for 'Pink the Rink', then fell 4-1 to the Victoria Royals Saturday in 'Jersey off the Back' night.
Goalie Payton Lee agrees both games drawing the largest home attendance of the season, boosted the team's energy.
He says their crowds are great every night, but sometimes they don't get as many people as they hope for and to have a full building was pretty special.
He adds playing for anti-bullying initiatives like 'Pink the Rink' gave the team extra motivation.
The ICE capped the weekend off visiting Rogers Hometown Hockey Sunday, where they signed autographs and played an impromptu game of ball hockey with local kids.
Forward Jake Elmer says getting to experience the national production was unbelievable.
He thinks it brought a lot of attention to Cranbrook as a city, as well as to the ICE as a team.
2,690 fans came out to the ICE game on Friday and 2,424 on Saturday, when Hometown Hockey co-host Tara Slone dropped a ceremonial puck to get play underway.
Elmer feels having more people than usual watch, helped the team get amped up.
The ICE now have close to a week off, they travel to Red Deer this coming Friday to battle the Rebels.

The MPU-6000 is a serious little piece of motion processing tech! By combining a MEMS 3-axis gyroscope and a 3-axis accelerometer on the same silicon die together with an onboard Digital Motion Processor™ (DMP™) capable of processing complex 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms, the MPU-6000 does away with the cross-axis alignment problems that can creep up on discrete parts. The parts' integrated 9-axis MotionFusion algorithms can even access external magnetometers or other sensors through an auxiliary master I2C or SPI bus, allowing the devices to gather a full set of sensor data without intervention from the system processor.
Communication with all registers of the device is performed using either I2C at 400kHz or SPI at 1MHz. For applications requiring faster communications, the sensor and interrupt registers may be read using SPI at 20MHz.
Dimensions: 4x4x0.9mm QFN
- Digital-output of 6 or 9-axis MotionFusion data in rotation matrix, quaternion, Euler Angle, or raw data format
- Tri-Axis angular rate sensor (gyro) with a sensitivity up to 131 LSBs/dps and a full-scale range of ±250, ±500, ±1000, and ±2000dps
- Tri-Axis accelerometer with a programmable full scale range of ±2g, ±4g, ±8g and ±16g
- 20MHz SPI serial interface for reading sensor and interrupt registers
- Reduced settling effects and sensor drift by elimination of board-level cross-axis alignment errors between accelerometers and gyroscopes
- Digital Motion Processing™ (DMP™) engine offloads complex MotionFusion, sensor timing synchronization and gesture detection
- Embedded algorithms for run-time bias and compass calibration. No user intervention required
- Digital-output temperature sensor
- Digital input on FSYNC pin to support video Electronic Image Stabilization and GPS
- Programmable interrupt supports gesture recognition, panning, zooming, scrolling, free fall interrupt, high-G interrupt, zero-motion detection, tap detection, and shake detection
- VDD Supply voltage range of 2.375V–3.46V
- On-chip timing generator with ±1% frequency variation over full temperature range
- 10,000g shock tolerant

Cars 3 (2017)
The Cars franchise is like the "goofy uncle" that nobody chooses to talk about at family reunions. We acknowledge it at most because we have to and then move onto other chipper subjects. I didn't think it could get worse for Pixar than Cars 2. Then I watched Cars 3.
Lightning McQueen (voiced by Owen Wilson) is starting to lose his championship luster when a new rival, Jackson Storm (Armie Hammer), speeds onto the circuit. Humbled and wondering whether his time is up, Lightning trains to be faster than ever and regain his title. He goes through a series of training struggles with Cruz Ramirez (Cristela Alonzo), a spunky racing coach. Lightning misses Doc Hudson (Paul Newman, posthumously reappearing) and seeks out Doc's old trainer, Smokey (Chris Cooper). Together, they plan to win back Lightning's title and prove he still has what it takes.
I was ready for this movie to be over after its first ten minutes, and that's chiefly because it repeats just about all the paces of the original Cars. Once again Lightning McQueen is bested by a new rival and has to re-learn the basics of racing, center himself as much as a car can, and open himself up to the help of others. Except the villain isn't really a villain, as Jackson Storm is just a newer model. He's self-centered and cocky, sure, but so was Lightning McQueen. He barely registers as a character and more as a symbol of newer, faster, more contemporary racers. If there is an antagonist in the movie it might actually be aging, which raises more questions about this Cars universe that I'll unpack later. The plot formula will remind you of another franchise's third entry, Rocky III. The hero is bested by a newer champ, seeks out a new trainer because their old mentor died, and there's even a beach training montage. Then the movie goes from Rocky III to Creed in its final act, and I'm thinking why not remake Rocky IV instead? There's already a robot butler in that one (it practically writes itself). Suffice to say, the generic formula of going back to basics and believing in one's self, this time with fewer side characters, is even less interesting 11 years after the first film revved its limited story engine.
I was flabbergasted at just how lazy the storytelling was (there aren't even that many car puns). It feels too much like a rehash without any memorable set pieces. There's a segment at a demolition derby that has potential but it never really hits its stride and just relies on the initial particulars. The relationship between Lightning and the other cars is also rather weak. His new mentor Smokey is simply a surrogate Doc. The bulk of the film after the first act is the relationship between Lightning and Cruz Ramirez. It would have been stronger if there were more to her fledgling character. She's consumed by self-doubt and gave up on her dream of being a racer, which should tip off every audience member where her arc is destined. She's assertive, optimistic, and highly energetic, but her defining character obstacle is her self-doubt, which limits her. All she needs to do is gain confidence, which is a pretty straightforward solution in a sports film replete with training montages. I don't know if she was told she wasn't good enough because she wasn't "made" to be a racer, or if it's because she's a girl, so her perhaps her ascension can be seen as an improbably empowering moment for lady cars everywhere.
The most fascinating aspect of the Cars universe has never been the characters or the stories but the world itself. In a land of sentient motor vehicles, how are they born? We see them age but where do the little cars come from? How do they make anything considering they have tires instead of opposable thumbs? Why do the cars have teeth? What is the point of designating gender? Did any adult car tell Ramirez that she was a girl car and girl cars aren't supposed to do boy car things like racing? How old is Doc's mentor considering Doc died of old age? Where do the dead cars go? Is there a junkyard burial ground? Do they get recycled into new cars? Speaking of mortality, this entire world has to be some post-apocalyptic hellscape, right? There's got to be like a Forbidden Zone, and just along the other side of a steep ridge is mountain after mountain of human skulls. The self-driving cars became sentient, following the SkyNet model, and rose up against mankind. In the ensuring thousands of years after, the sentient cars have adopted our ways even though they clearly don't match up to their circumstances. They have forgotten the world of humans but are still trying to remake our world as theirs. Do these cars do anything other than watch races? Is this pastime the hierarchy's form of bread and circuses? What kind of day-to-day existence do they have? Considering every living being is a motor vehicle that runs on fossil fuels, are the sentient cars aware of climate change and the greenhouse effect? Are they hastening the planet's demise? What if inside every car were the mummified remains of a human inhabitant? What if during Lightning's big accident a human skeleton pops out of the windshield? That might lead to an existential crisis in the Cars world that would make them rethink their place in history.
Somebody out there has to like these movies. I don't know whom Cars 3 is intended for. It doesn't present enough excitement or humor for children, and it doesn't present enough substance and characterization for adults. It retreads familiar ground with lesser characters for lesser rewards. I knew every step of where this journey was headed, and without effective humor, characters, and surprises, I was tilting my head against my chair and just waiting for this mess to end. The reason there are three Cars movies is merely the profits Disney reaps from the toy sales and merchandizing (they estimate making a billion dollars in toy sales alone per Cars movie). There's no other reason to supply the world three entries in the Cars universe before even getting a second Incredibles. The time with these anemic characters is not worth the 100 minutes on screen. I never thought I would reappraise Cars 2 but at least that movie had some exciting and colorful racing sequences and tried telling a different, albeit not successful story. Even a badly executed spy caper starring Larry the Cable Guy had something to it. In contrast, Cars 3 just goes in circles and expects you to be grateful for the same trip.
Nate's Grade: C-
Live by Night (2016)
With only three films, Ben Affleck has successfully reinvented himself as one of Hollywood's most talented directors when it comes to adult crime thrillers. It's not just his superb directing chops; the man also serves as producer, lead actor on most films as well as a screenwriter, and Affleck's ability to write flawed yet deeply human characters within genre parameters has accomplished actors flocking to work for him. Beyond his 2012 film Argo winning Best Picture, Affleck has gotten three different actors supporting Oscar nominations (Amy Ryan, Jeremy Renner, Alan Arkin). He's an actor's director and a man who knows how to satisfy an audience hungry for authentic genre thrills and interesting characters. His latest film is an adaptation of Dennis Lehane's novel and is Affleck's most ambitious film yet and it's gorgeously brought to life. There's still plenty to like and entertainment to be had with his Prohibition era gangster flick Live by Night, but it's also unquestionably Affleck's weakest film yet as a major director.
Joe Coughlin (Affleck) is a hardened WWI veteran who says he came back to Boston as an "outlaw" (he seems to turn up his nose at being called a "gangster"). Joe settles into an easy life of crime with the local Irish gang lead by Albert White (Robert Glenister). Unfortunately, Joe's lover, Emma Gould (Sienna Miller), happens to be White's main squeeze. Joe and Emma sneak around and carry on their relationship without proper discretion. Their secret is found out, Emma is dealt with, and Joe escapes with his life, serving a prison sentence and then enlisting in the Italian mob under local boss Maso Pescatore (Remo Girone). Joe is sent to Tampa to manage the rum-running business, starting his life over. The area is ripe for expansion and it isn't long before Joe is making friends and enemies over his exploits. He falls in love with Graciella (Zoe Saldana), a fellow criminal with a working operation of Hispanic bootleggers. Joe warms to a local police chief (Chris Cooper) and his daughter, Loretta (Elle Fanning) a girl who experiences the darker side of vice and becomes a troublesome born-again leader. All the while Albert White has relocated to Miami, and the specter of vengeance looms just within reach.
It's a Prohibition gangster flick and Affleck makes sure to check as many boxes as he can when it comes to audience expectations for a pulpy hardboiled action drama. The production design is aces and the cinematography by Robert Richardson (The Hateful Eight) is beautifully composed with its use of light, shadow, and framing. There are shots of violence that are exquisitely rendered so as to be their own art, like a man falling down a stairwell with a Tommy gun blasting above bathed in light. The production details are a sumptuous aspect that Affleck and his team put supreme effort into to better make their movie transporting. The action sequences have a genuine delight as they pop. A shootout throughout the grounds of a mob-owned hotel is an exciting climax that finds fun ways to provide genre thrills. The rise-and-fall structure of the story, mingled with a simple revenge motivation, is a suitable story vehicle for the audience to plug into. There are fun characters, fun moments, and sizzling action, all decorated in handsome period appropriate details. While Live by Night has its share of flaws, a dearth of entertainment is not one of them.
Tone and coherency end up being Affleck's biggest obstacles he cannot overcome. It's somewhat of a surprise considering his other directorial efforts brilliantly melded several genres while telling invigorating stories. I think the main fault is a screenplay trying to do too much when more streamlining was optimal. The specific goal that sets Joe in motion is a bit hazy and fails to provide a larger sense of direction for the arc of the tale. Affleck's previous films were rock-solid in crafting overarching yet specific goals that propel the scenes onto a natural narrative trajectory. With Gone Baby Gone, it's finding the missing girl. With The Town, it's getting closer to a bank employee without having that relationship discovered by his cohorts. With Argo, it was rescuing the hostages. With Live by Night, it's mostly getting vengeance against Albert White, though we don't know how. In the meantime, we have episodic incidents failing to register connective tissue or at least a cause/effect relationship where it feels like a natural order of organic conflicts. The opening act in Boston that sets up Joe's tragic love, jail time, and enmity with White could be removed entirely. I'd miss the thrilling 1920s car chase, which is also unique in that it's the first period car chase I can think of that utilizes the mechanical limitations of the vehicles for extra tension, but it's at best a moment of flash. Having the story pick up with Joe putting his life back together in sunny Florida would have been a cleaner entrance into this world for an audience. Once Joe ingratiates himself into this new world, the audience has to play another game of character introductions and assessing relationships and the balance of power. It feels a bit redundant after having our previous act pushed aside to reboot Joe's world.
It feels like Affleck is trying to corral so many historical elements that he loses sight of the bigger picture. Joe's criminal path seems comically easy at times as he builds a fledgling empire along the Floridian west coast. First it's the law and then it's the KKK and then it's religious revivals that need to be dealt with. Each incident feels like a small vignette that observes the historical setting with an angle that will be perfunctorily dropped in short order. The conflicts and antagonists don't feel sufficiently challenging and that lessens the intended suspense. When Joe is dealing with the KKK, it feels like he's restraining himself out of politeness rather than a series of organic restrictions. The elements and tones don't really seem to inform one another except in the most general sense, which leads to the film lacking suitable cohesion. It's easy then for Affleck to overly rely on stock genre elements to provide much of the story arrangements.
The characters have difficulty escaping from the pulp trappings to emerge as three-dimensional figures. Graciela gets the worst of it, proving to be a capable bootlegging criminal in her own right who loses all sense of personality, agency, and import once she becomes romantically entwined with our hero. It's as if she erased herself to better heal his broken heart. How kind of her. The religious revival element is ripe for further examination but it's kept at a basic level. We're never questioning the validity of Loretta's conversion and sudden celebrity. Chris Cooper's pragmatic lawman has the most potential as a man trying to keep his morals amidst the immoral. The character isn't utilized in enough interesting ways that can also flesh out his dimensions, and his conclusion suffers from that absent development. The characters serve their purpose in a larger mechanical sense but they don't feel like more recognizable human beings.
Affleck's innate talent with actors reappears in a few choice moments, just enough to tantalize you with the promise of what Live by Night could have been. The standout moment for me is a sit-down between Joe and Loretta where she unburdens her self-doubts. This is a woman who has been preyed upon by others, had her hopes dashed, and is trying to reinvent herself as a religious leader, but even she doesn't know if she believes that there's a God. The scene is emotional, honest without being trite, and delivered pitch-perfect by Fanning (The Neon Demon). It's the kind of scene that reminded me of The Town and Gone Baby Gone, how Affleck was deftly able to provide shading for his characters that opened them up. Miller (American Sniper) has immediate electricity to her performance and reminds you how good Affleck is at drawing out the best from his actors. British TV vet Glenister is so good as a villain that seems to relish being one that you wish he were in the movie more. He has a menace to him that draws you in closer. Maher (The Finest Hours) is a memorable cretin who you'll be happy to be dealt with extreme prejudice. There isn't a poor casting choice in the film (hey Clark Gregg, hey Anthony Michael Hall, hey Max Casella) except possibly one, and that's Affleck himself. I know part of the reason he selects his directing efforts is the possibility of also tackling juicy acting roles, but this time he may not have been the best fit. He's a little too calm, a little too smooth, a little too out of place for the period, and his director doesn't push him far enough.
A strange thing happened midway through, namely how politically relevant and vicariously enjoyable Live by Night feels specifically for the year 2017. It's a movie largely sent in the 1920s with characters on the fringes of society, and yet I was able to make pertinent connections to our troubled times of today. After a contentious presidential election where many feel that insidious and hateful extremist elements are being normalized and emboldened, there is something remarkably enjoyable about watching a murder montage of Klansmen. The Tampa chapter of the KKK takes aim with Joe's business that profit from fornicators, Catholics, and especially black and brown people. They're trying to shake Joe down for majority ownership but they're too stupid, blinded by their racist and xenophobic ignorance, to accept Joe's generous offers, and so they can't help but bring righteous fury upon their lot. There is something innumerably enjoyable about watching abusive bigots brought down to size with bloody justice. I could have seen an entire movie of Joe and crew tearing through the Florida chapters of the KKK and just cleaning out the rabble. This sequence whets the appetite for what comes later. Without going into specific spoilers, the climax of the movie involves the put-upon minorities rising up against their bosses who, like the Klan, felt they were too powerful, too indispensable, and too clever to be seriously threatened. In its own way, it's like a dark crime actualization of the American Dream. Unpack that if you will.
Live By Night is Affleck losing the depth of his world to its surface-level genre pleasures and they are indeed a pleasure. This isn't a bad movie by any measure, only one of slight disappointment because it had the markings and abilities to be much more than the finished product. The tonal inconsistency and storylines provide episodic interludes and enticing moments, whether in action or acting, but they don't blend together to form a more compelling and impressive whole. It's a gangster movie that provides the gangster genre trappings but loses sight of what makes the characters in these movies so compelling, the moral complications, shifting loyalties, the impossible positions, and enclosing danger. I don't think you'll sweat too much over whether the main character will come out on top, which somewhat hinders the intensity of the action. When your movie is more predicated on those genre thrills than character or story, that's an even bigger hindrance. It's a fun world worth visiting but it doesn't have the staying power of Affleck's better efforts.

August: Osage County (2013)
This holiday season, the movie with the most acting, by far, is likely to be August: Osage County, the adaptation of Tracy Letts' Tony award-winning play. It's a large dysfunctional family getting back together and opening old wounds, so, you know, the most relatable Christmas movie for some. It's easy to see what attracted such A-list talent to this project because these characters are actor catnip; each is overflowing with drama, secrets, revelations, anger, and it's all channeled through Letts' barbed sense of humor and wickedly skillful dialogue. With Meryl Streep as the pill-popping matriarch, Julia Roberts as her resentful daughter, and a host of other inter-generational conflicts and secrets, you may feel exhausted by the end of its 130-minute running time (the stage play was 3.5 hours, respectively). The emotional confrontations feel like grueling pugilist matches, the melodrama kept at a fever pitch, but the film is never boring. Streep is her usual astonishing self and the deep ensemble gives each actor something to chew over. This is the best Roberts has been in years, and she's not afraid to get nasty ("Eat your fish!"). Just when you think the story might soften, Letts unleashes another body blow, allowing no uncertainty that this is a family doomed. The story also provides insights into tracking the path of cruelty through the family tree, limb by limb. August: Osage County is stridently funny but also punishing in its no-holds-barred approach to family drama. If you're looking for a movie that makes your family seem normal and even-tempered, this may be it.

Net Neutrality is defined here as: "the practice that all high speed internet should be treated the same, not discriminating or charging differentially by user, content, site, platform, application, type of attached equipment, or mode of communication." Essentially, Net Neutrality is the principle that whatever/whenever you want to stream or access online content, your provider cannot alter your service or favor anyone else over you.
"High speed internet can be classified as a utility" said a federal court last Tuesday in a ruling decision that will allow for stricter policing of ISP's (Internet Service Providers). This decision set in stone the government's view that internet is as essential as power, water and phone service. A service that should be made available to all Americans, and not considered a luxury.
This decision came from a three-judge panel at the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, and won 2-to-1. This ruling prohibits ISPs from blocking and/or slowing down internet to its end users. This ruling put an end to a large legal battle that started in early 2015 as ISP's attempted to overturn the ruling that internet is a utility. AT&T immediately said they would appeal this ruling and continue to fight, Comcast, Verizon, and other ISPs are likely to follow.
On the flip side, companies such as Google and Netflix have stepped up to the plate as champions for net neutrality. These companies argue that by not abiding by the principles of net neutrality, ISPs will diminish the quality of downloads and streams, forcing unfair price hikes on web based companies, or worse, promoting their own services by unfairly giving their own supported products more bandwidth.
The two judges that ruled in the favor of the F.C.C., emphasized how important the internet is an an essential means of communication in this day and age. Tom Wheeler, the chairman of the F.C.C., said "After a decade of debate and legal battles, today's ruling affirms the commission's ability to enforce the strongest possible internet protections — both on fixed and mobile networks — that will ensure the internet remains open, now and in the future."
While the fight for a free and open internet is not over, this was a victory and another step in the right direction for the internet and American policy as a whole.

Lucas – Knowing The Power Within – Being Oneness and Unity Within – 15 September 2013
Posted on September 15, 2013
by lucas2012infos
Knowing all your power is within makes it easier and easier to see through the bones that are still thrown to you that you would otherwise reluctantly accept with a big thank you…. It is about knowing and not believing! It is not about thinking you are free [and then] you close the doors for the other polarity – you still keep fearing without cause… If you [know you are] free and have found your power within your heart-source center, will need nothing else.
The enclosure is now jumping into my focus. I observe the multiple ways that people and others with hidden intentions are still entering them. Enclosures are still enclosures… even if you make them look like heaven. If you have to still obey the rules that keep you enclosed you not in power and [are] bound. You are not free. The mere thought to just be free does not make you free. If you build a barrier or a fence around [you] to keep you from hurting or being interfered with, shows you are not in the centered and in the neutral zone, but in polarity and in the mind.
The mind I talk about is that which lives in your skull, not that of your heart of course. You are still thinking your way out of YOU, and not seeing and feeling it is inside. Be careful about going back to search for those that can help you to be free outside of the self empowered YOU. Are you looking for those that can give you a wall [of protection] that does not make your privacy go away? Are you asking for help to get your [inner] demons neutralized? Do you still think you need to contract with some entity to talk, or be the authentic You in order to be free? Do you still think you need to be unbound from negative forces, etc.? It is you creating the illusion and it will be as real as you want it to be.
If you know you free and know you are empowered, you have no fear, it is no more, you are free. No need to think about being free anymore. Every bit of thought that goes into excluding, making barricades, seeing the others that you perceived only as evil is getting back into full polarity mode and therefore duality. Duality comes still in different shapes and on lots of levels on and off planet.
I ask of you to keep your door open and not go into fear, hate, anger, or even the love that is conditional. Yes the love that has conditions attached to it, is not the unconditional love of being heart-source connected that love that is in the neutral zone.
Are you willing to get rid of your old beliefs, dogmas and even new created beliefs or dogmas? Are you willing not go into saviour mode that leads you away from your inner-power in giving it away again? There is no-one, or thing or event that can save you! The one you can save is only you… You can't be saved by anyone else. When you are in that neutral space of your heart-source connection you will see there is no need for saving. You will see also that there is no polarity anymore that [keeps] you going into extremes, into arguments, battles, conflict. It is no more. All is neutral and in balance.
You will see that this space in you does not allow others to be have power over you. You can make your stand from that place just by being empowered and stating the factual truth. Keep your thoughts and conflicts from taking you out of that zone into polarity. Remain neutral. Whatever disguise you are presented with that wants you to lure back into the old same old duality, beware. The snake in the garden of Eden will not get its way. The forbidden fruit is that of duality. If you keep out of it you will see the true garden of Eden within. Don't fall for an illusion or a new matrix.
No more polarities are needed as things unite within … that is the real unity and oneness. It is within not outside of you. The consequence of being united within makes you project that also on the outside. Stay open minded and centered. Stay out of refusing others to come and talk, or be and do, don't shunt or shut out [and exclude]. If you see these things happening, you know it is not unity or being neutral. Whatever choices you make, even the mistakes and detours on your journey towards the inevitable transformation called ascension (or whatever name you wanna give it), know and be the authentic You, the creator being You are. The multiverse is waiting for us to co-create our new reality together and we will.

I stumbled upon this post from Six Revisions this morning, and I thought I would share it with you.
I have some thoughts about the topic of web content strategies, even if I'm only beginning to understand the complexity of the field I chose to work in.
The post is addressed to web design companies. It describes the advantage of adding writing services to your package. Why are writers useful, you might wonder? After all, most of the stuff on the Web is dross.
Well, that's exactly why you need good writers. People like me who work hard to write good articles with well-researched content (academic deformation I suppose) and good grammar. This makes your content stand out from the sea of ordinary stuff.
Using ghost writers has this advantage that companies can take all the credit for good writing done by others. My name never appears in anything I write for ghost writing projects. (Happily I found one place to use a byline!) Writers are probably the most important part of a web content strategy because, well, without content, you don't get much of a strategy. Writers are the ones who provide your content.
How do you interact with your clients about their content? Do you just follow instructions or do you try to improve their strategy? Referring to the post I wrote yesterday about keyword density, do you accept to write things that you know are not going to work just for the sake of doing the job?

Brit astronaut Tim Peake reaches International Space Station after nail-biting landing
BRIT astronaut Tim Peake as docked at the International Space Station after becoming the first Brit to blast into outer space.
The ex-helicopter pilot has become the first British astronaut to travel to the ISS as a European Space Agency member.
He tweeted his 100,000 Twitter followers with a final message before launching out of Earth.
He said: "Last tweet before launch - GO for flight! Thanks for all the good luck messages - phenomenal support! #Principia"
Major Peake – dubbed Major Tim – has flown to the ISS with fellow astronauts Tim Kopra and Yuri Malenchenko.
The Russian Soyuz TMA-19 capsule, carrying Mr Peake, 43, docked at 5.33pm, six-and-a-half hours after lift off at 11.03am.
It spent 30 minutes completing its fly-around as the astronauts onboard made sure every part of the capsule was precisely aligned with the station, while travelling at a speed of 20-30 centimetres per second.
Tensions rose as there were difficulties manoeuvring the capsule into position.
Yuri took manual control and backed it away before making a second attempt to line it up.
Last tweet before launch - GO for flight! Thanks for all the good luck messages - phenomenal support! #Principia pic.twitter.com/8jbxejHEEe— Tim Peake (@astro_timpeake) December 15, 2015
Members of Major Peake's family watched the drama at a local cinema.
His mother, Angela, who was in the audience said: "I'm feeling relieved. I wasn't really tense, I just feel quite reassured by those around me - they have a lot of experience."
Asked what it felt like to watch the launch, she said: "It was fantastic, but quite emotional as you can imagine."
Her husband Nigel said of the docking: "It was great to watch. I didn't feel worried with a commander like Yuri.
"They know what they are doing."
Major Peake gave the thumbs up from inside the capsule as they raced towards space.
On board the ISS they will carry out educational activities to help inspire young people interested in the cosmos.
And he will be carrying out experiments on board the 17-year-old craft.
It comes as NASA posted perhaps the most far out job ad in history – to become the first spaceman or woman on Mars.
It was great to watch Tim Peake blast off on his mission to join the International Space Station. pic.twitter.com/pqAw0ETuok— David Cameron (@David_Cameron) December 15, 2015
His wife Rebecca and two sons Thomas, six, and Oliver, four, watched on as Major Tim and his crew were lifted into the sky by a Soyuz FG rocket.
The event was watched by Prime Minister David Cameron who tweeted a picture of himself watching the launch.
Major Peake told a press conference he was most looking forward to seeing the Earth from space.
He said: "I don't think anything can truly prepare you for that moment and that will occur in the Soyuz spacecraft once we get injected into orbit I'll be able to look out the right window and see the beautiful view of Planet Earth."
He is the first fully British professional astronaut to be sent into space.
And while he is there, he will take part in the Virgin London Marathon by hitting the treadmill.
"I'll be able to look out the right window and see the beautiful view of Planet Earth"Major Tim Peake
Google has changed its homepage to include a "Good Luck Tim!" message beneath its search bar.
Its UK Twitter feed said: "Wishing @astro_timpeake an amazing ride on £Principia today. And remember - suck on a sweet, your ears won't pop."
Major Peake had a chance to say goodbye to his family as the crew sat at Building 252 while wearing their pressure suits.
He waved to his sons and gave them the thumbs up from inside a bus taking them to the launch pad.
The crew has even put together a playlist of songs to enjoy in space.
They will be listening to the likes of Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, U2's Beautiful Day and A Sky Full of Stars by Coldplay.
It will take them six hours for the space capsule to reach the ISS.

China Is Throwing A Fit Because A Reporter Asked About Their Human Rights Record
By Tamara Khandaker for VICE News
China's ambassador to Canada is telling Canadians to "not be blinded" by differences in the countries' stances on human rights, days after the Chinese foreign minister berated a journalist for raising the issue at a press conference.
Wang Yi, the first Chinese foreign minister to visit Canada in seven years, has taken heat for what's been called an undiplomatic response to a reporter's question on China's human rights record and the ongoing imprisonment of Canadian Kevin Garrett, who is charged with espionage.
Ambassador Luo Zhaohui weighed in on the controversy surrounding the visit in an opinion piece for the Globe and Mail on Sunday, touting China's "tremendous and universally recognized achievements in the protection and promotion of human rights."
Zhaohui conceded that China's human rights record wasn't perfect and added that the country was willing to discuss it, but dismissed "microphone diplomacy" as the right approach, adding that "it will only serve to mislead the public, adversely affect co-operation and harm both sides' interests.
"Finger-pointing is not a proper way to treat guests," he wrote.
'Your question is full of prejudice against China and arrogance.'
During a joint press conference with Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Stephane Dion last week, Wang responded to a question aimed at Dion from an iPolitics reporter on behalf of several other news organizations.
Wang appeared visibly irritated as he delivered a lengthy response, berating the journalist through a translator, suggesting that she not "ask questions in such an irresponsible manner," and adding that while the country welcomes "goodwill suggestions," they "reject groundless or unwarranted accusations."
"Your question is full of prejudice against China and arrogance," said Wang. "I don't know where that comes from. This is totally unacceptable."
He questioned the reporter's understanding of China and asked if she'd ever been there.

"Do you know that China has lifted more than 600 million people out of poverty? And do you know the China is now the second-largest economy in the world from a very low foundation?" he asked. "And do you know China has written protection and promotion of human rights into our constitution?"
"Other people don't know better than the Chinese people about the human rights condition in China and it is the Chinese people who are in the best situation, in the best position to have a say about China's human rights situation," he continued.
In his own response, Dion said that he had brought up Garatt's case to Wang and that the two had "honest and frank conversations on human rights and consular affairs."
The Canadian government stayed silent on the issue until Friday morning when Dion tweeted, thanking reporter Amanda Connelly for her questions and demonstrating what press freedom means.

Okay, so we didn't have the best of start to this season!
Reason? Well, there could be numerous reasons as to where certain things went wrong against Arsenal and the opening fixture against Swansea City; but the truth is we were just not ready enough to cope with the hustle and tussles of the League, yet! Our preseason was short and the boys were not in their best of shapes; Well, at least that's what Mourinho reckons!
Talking to our Official Website, this is what he had to say on our slow start:
"We made a decision which was to give the players a proper holiday. At that moment we knew the start was not going to be the same kind of start we had last year.
"Last year we started early, we worked in different periods of pre-season, we played a lot of matches before the start of the season, and we had a fantastic start, but I think we paid for that quick start at the end of the season.
"The team was tired, but we managed to control our destiny in the Premier League with the advantage we had in our pocket, which was not normal in this league.
"This season we tried to go in another direction. We went for a slower start, with a short pre-season. We know what we are doing, but clearly some didn't react as well as we expected."
Yes, players like Fabregas and Ivanovic have been the off pace while Diego Costa has been nursing his hamstring for the better part of the last one month. I guess, that's what you get with a short preseason!
So, what happens next? When will we be back to our best? What can we expect from the Manchester City game?
"This week was a fantastic week for us because it was one more week of pre-season, with no matches, no traveling, nothing – just training from Monday to Saturday. The next three weeks will be the same. At the end of the fourth match in the Premier League, we are going to be in a good situation.
"We are not on top of our game, but the normal tendency is to improve week after week."
So Mourinho reckons we won't be back to our very best until September! But, hopefully, we will be good enough to get the job done at Etihad tomorrow.
The Portuguese is also satisfied with his team's performance against Arsenal and Swansea in the last couple of weeks:
"The start against Arsenal was not bad, but the result was not the one we wanted. The first half against Swansea I liked a lot. We were back to a certain level of quality of our game.
"In the second half against Swansea I loved the players' answer from a mental point of view. From a physical point of view the team was in trouble a bit playing with 10 men, but even so, in the last period of the game, if somebody was putting wood on the fire to try to win, it was us."
Yes, sure, we played brilliantly in the second half and maybe even deserved to win the Swansea game but "all hard work and no points" that's an Arsenal way, not the way of the Champions. Hopefully, we don't repeat that kind of performance against City tomorrow or things can get really ugly for Mourinho!

A source confirmed to the Donegal News yesterday (Thursday) that staff had just been informed that 2,500 jobs were to go at the bank in correspondence from CEO David Duffy.
According to the source, outlets in Donegal can little afford any redundancies. "If you look at Letterkenny, for example, the branch there really couldn't do with much less. With the level of business going in and out, it simply wouldn't be able to function with fewer resources."
They added: "Until now we had been told very little. This is very disappointing from anyone's point of view because this is 25 per cent more than was originally suggested. The only thing we are happy about is that at least we have clarity about what the bank's proposals are now. We have been waiting for this announcement for a long time and now that we know, we can start to move on and go forward to become the strongest bank again."
Locally, it is hoped that jobs in Donegal will be spared with the main focus being on 'back-office' workers in the bank's larger centres and the surplus of employees which were subsumed during the EBS take-over.
It is not known yet if AIB plan to close any branches in the county, however, there are fears that some of the smaller outlets may be under threat.
The bank has a total of 16 branches in the Donegal, the largest of which are in Letterkenny and Donegal Town. The other branches are in Ballybofey, Lifford, Bundoran, Ballyshannon, Killybegs, Raphoe, Milford, Dungloe, Gaoth Dobhair, Falcarragh, Dunfanaghy, Buncrana, Carndonagh and Moville.
AIB confirmed that of the 2,500 redundancies, they hope to achieve half of them by the end of this year.
In a statement the bank said it hoped to achieve the redundancies on a voluntary basis as it sought to reduce its staffing costs by €170m.
AIB said it would enter a consultation process with trade unions immediately and full details of the redundancy programme, its terms and how it will operate will be announced in early April.
The bank's CEO David Duffy said the bank aims to offer a severance package that is "fair to people at all levels in the bank, while reflecting the very difficult financial position that AIB is in".
Reacting to the announcement yesterday, the Irish Bank Officials Association said the cuts would have a "devastating impact on ordinary employees and their families".
It said the scale of the proposed cuts would see ordinary staff "suffer the consequences of the mismanagement of the bank's affairs".

Two arrested following school bus demolition derby in Kelowna
A pair of Kelowna men were arrested Monday after what seemed to be a demolition derby involving two school buses.
Kelowna RCMP were called out to a church in Rutland just after 1 a.m. after receiving reports of school buses being rammed into one another in a parking lot.
Police arrived on scene to find two school buses wedged together, one of which had been left idling.
Witnesses gave police descriptions of the people involved and two men were later arrested that police "believe took an active role in intentionally damaging the school buses," said RCMP Cpl. Jesse O'Donaghey in a new release. "Fresh footprints in the snow, which led away from the crime scene, also aided police in their search."
O'Donaghey said two school buses were badly damaged and had to be pried apart. Other property in the immediate area was also damaged.
Two men, ages 18 and 19, potentially face charges. They are both expected to appear in court at a later date. Their names were not released.

How would a well-esteemed and high US official be regarded if he ever said: "You know what? I love Genghis Khan and we in the West do not understand his mighty contribution to today's civilization"? The new Defense Minister, to whom we have the utmost respect because he took the DPRK's threat seriously, is either misinformed about the historical personality he painted with such "vibrant" and "constructive" colors or there is something else going on. We do not mean to imply anything which undermines the constitution, but it is one thing to tolerate Turkey for the sake of Geopolitics and another to openly cheer for one of the greatest butchers history has ever known. Who knows, perhaps when he was young he could be in love with a woman from Turkey, maybe that could be one of the reasons why he is so positively inclined towards Turkey, but still it doesn't justify the outburst of admiration towards a mass murderer! What would be his next action under those circumstances? Wear a T-shirt with a stamp: "I love Kemal!" while the Turkish troops will be invading Syria? That's just too much for the United States of America.
Let's reiterate Chuck Hagel's words: "Well, I'm glad to know my standing is significant in Turkey. But – and I admire the Turks and the government, and Atatürk and I have over the years noted Atatürk in different speeches I've given, not just in Turkey, but the United States. He did something that was very significant that has had a very important sustaining legacy in the world. And sometimes we — we in the West don't fully appreciate what Atatürk did". If he is talking about the "opening" of Kemal to the West through his state reforms then he should narrow down his admiration and support on those reforms only, which, according to the US, seemingly, those were the reason why Turkey is today a NATO member. Even in that case, though, this assumption would be false, because the only reason, initially at least, Turkey entered NATO, was because its "inclination" towards the Soviet Union. And since we are talking about Kemal, he "loved" the Bolsheviks so much so that his "anti-Western" campaign became dependent on Lenin's financing. We cite a text from Wikipedia:
"In his message to Vladimir Lenin, the Bolshevik leader and head of the RSFSR's government, dated 26 April 1920, Kemal promised to coordinate his military operations with the Bolsheviks' "fight against imperialist governments" and requested 5 million lira in gold as well as armaments "as first aid" to his forces.[107] In 1920 alone, the Lenin government supplied the Kemalists with 6,000 rifles, over 5 million rifle cartridges, 17,600 projectiles as well as 200.6 kg of gold bullion; in the subsequent 2 years the amount of aid increased…"
But Kemal was nothing but a political "fox" apart from being a mass murderer. While wanting to establish a Soviet pan-Balkan domain, in the end he butchered the members of the Turkish communist party. And this is just a sample of his "mood swings". After he defeated the Greek forces, whose commanders were stupid enough to overextend their lines from Constantinople to just a few miles West of Ankara, while Eleftherios Venizelos was being toppled by The King all over again, he sent a letter to the League of Nations stating that the Turkish population was so worked up that the Ankara Government would not be responsible for massacres. And those massacres did occur, Smyrna was burning and the Greek population was slaughtered to death. Those who managed to flee migrated to the Greek mainland, causing a huge humanitarian issue, which gave the ultimate blow to the Greek Economy.
The murders, though, did not stop there. We feel compelled to refresh the memory of Mr Obama and his administration at this point, when they received this letter:
"We believe that acknowledgments of the Armenian Genocide are an important step toward ending the final stage of every genocide, denial, which continues to inflict suffering on the group that has been victimized – an inhuman assault on memory perpetrated by the Turkish government for more than 90 years."
"The 94-year denial of the Armenian Genocide has emboldened perpetrators ever since."
IAGS letter to President Barack Obama, 3.7.09″
Plus an excerpt of what was heard in Congress:
"Studies by genocide scholars prove that the single best predictor of future genocide is denial of a past genocide coupled with impunity for its perpetrators. Genocide Deniers are three times more likely to commit genocide again than other governments."
Testimony to Congress by Dr. Gregory Stanton, President, IAGS, 4.23.08
The above concern the Armenian genocide, but before we go there let's hear the brutal truth dripping from the lips of Mustafa Kemal himself, evidently taking pleasure when talking about his murderous accomplishments to a Swedish Journalist
The text below is corrected and reprinted from the Armenian Mirror-Spectator, March 16, 1985.
Kemal Promises More Hangings
of Political Antagonists in Turkey
" I shall not stop until every guilty person, no matter how high his rank, has been hung from the gallows as a grim warning to all incipient plotters against the security of the Turkish Republic. Since the very hour of its reincarnation in the rejuvenated body of the Republic, our nation has endured travails no other nation has ever experienced.
When we were fighting external enemies, or enemies whom we were certain were sympathetic with foreign intriguers, nearly all of the rank and file of our population were enthusiastically, even fanatically, united to deliver the nation from the multiple foreign yokes. But no sooner had the nation proved its worth to its foreign detractors than certain elements, bred in the old school of political intrigue, began to show their claws. We were face to face with a menace to the life of the republic from two elements.
One was the group who combined religious fanaticism and ignorance with political imbecility and who, in the past, under different Sultans had come to believe that the state was an organism to be exploited through debauchery, corruption and brazen bribery for personal ends. I put the ax in the dual root of this sinister and reprehensible theory of government by destroying the Khalif and the Sultan. I sent into exile the persons in whom this theory was personified. Large numbers, adherents of this school of politics, attempted to interpret any act as atheistic, and, under the aegis of religion, began to intrigue against the life of the republic.
Sixty Leaders Hang at Dawn In several instances in the past when, in Kurdistan and other interior regions of Anatolia, they showed a disposition to challenge the will of the republic, I crushed them with an iron hand, and for example, had over sixty of their leaders hanged at dawn".
Regarding the Armenian genocide: From the Gendercide watch (http://www.gendercide.org/case_armenia.html)
"Turkey's defeat in World War I, and the consequent collapse of the Ottoman Empire, offered surviving Armenians an opportunity for national self-realization. In 1918, an independent Republic of Armenia was declared. U.S. President Woodrow Wilson was granted the right to draw up the boundaries of a new Armenian nation, formalized at the Treaty of Sèvres in 1920. However, the Turkish government, under nationalist leader Kemal Ataturk, rapidly renounced the Treaty. In collusion with the newly-created Soviet Union, the Turks invaded Armenia and reconquered six of the former western Ottoman provinces granted to Armenia under the Treaty, along with the Armenian provinces of Kars and Ardahan".
As for Kemal's own opinion: "The Ataturk government effectively cancelled the court-martial process (Ataturk himself claiming that the Armenians killed were "victims of foreign intrigues" and guilty of abusing "the privileges granted them")".
"ATA BOY"! He's the man, this Kemal guy, everyone would agree on that Mr Hager, isn't that so? Perhaps if the Greeks had responded in the same way to the American administrations, as Kemal himself did, maybe "Chuck" would share his admiration between the Turks and the Greeks. But hey, if assassinating 3/4 of a population and be proud of it is not a reason for admiration then what is? We have a question, though, why are Stalin and Hitler off the list of the people Mr Hagel admires? They did good as well, better than the Turks! That remains to be answered by Mr Hagel of course.
It is noteworthy that while France and specifically ex President Nicola Sarkozy signed himself the draft resolution condemning the denial of Armenian genocide, in the US the Obama Administration was against the resolution when it was brought to congress for voting from the beginning. In France it was regarded as "unconstitutional" by the Supreme Court (even though the resolution had the President's Signature), while in the US, senators are still fighting to pass it through with the "magic word", which depicts the true nature of the crime (GENOCIDE), but nobody would want to "upset" the "civilized NATO allies", the Turks. As a matter of fact, and according to Mr Hagel, not only are they not mass murderers but they ought to be "admired" for their "democratic accomplishments" and their "Great leader" Mustafa Kemal, without whom the Western societies of today would have had so much less to exhibit in cultural terms.
In cases like these we truly wonder who is in charge of the Western World. The US or Turkey?

St. Bart's Sereno Has Flair, Fumbles Service, Food; Where Did the Spa Go?
From our hilltop terrace at the chic new Le Sereno hotel on the island of St. Bart's, we have a spectacular view of windsurfers flying across the waves on colorful sails and sunbathers striking a pose on canvas mattresses by the pool. To complement the modern, minimalist décor in our spacious, airy suite, there's wireless Internet access, a flat-screen TV and an iPod dock with speakers.
So appealing is the look and location of Le Sereno that you can almost forgive the slapdash service, the so-so food, the sky-high...

Challies gives us the third and final post in his series on inerrancy. Today he considers Problems with Denying Inerrancy. It is also Day 6 on Challies Blog Tour. Today's question is, How might the discipline of discernment be used to protect the peace of the church?
Trevin Wax gives us some Church Bulletin Humor. My favorite is, "Our youth basketball team is back in action Wednesday at 8:00 p.m. in the recreation hall. Come out and watch us kill Christ the King."
Phil Johnson, from Team Pyro, begins a series on Total Depravity, entitled I've Fallen and I Can't Get Up. His main point in his brief introduction is this: "Again and again we see that those who have embraced these truths of original sin and human depravity have been used by God in tremendous ways, while those who have resisted or rejected these truths have made shipwreck of the faith."
Milton Stanley asks a stimulating question today; Does and Open Door=God's Will?

The DUO Art Program is a fantastic initiative by Lismore Regional Gallery.
The project pairs 6 local artists with 6 young people in the community, to offer them the experience of working with a practicing artist whilst collaborating in the process of making work for exhibition later in the year at the Gallery.
I was paired with Audrey, and our collection of works from the project is titled 'Neon Imaginarium" which has been inspired by a mutual love for pattern, geometry, nature and colour.
