how to make a pipe out

(This is copied from Jon Rappoport's website. I've been reading him for 7 years. This is a great piece to start the year.....)STEP UP ON THE FLYING HORSEDECEMBER 27. 2007. We all come to the crossroad where we make the deep choices. How will we be our lives?I envision a contrast. There is the rabbit. I see him hopping send munching plants. He hops he munches he hops again and he munches. That is how he goes. Eating the next thing. Moving to the next piece of nourishment. Finding small satisfactions just ahead of him on the path of time. He may be thinking about some giant leap. We don't experience. But he doesn't take it. He just pushes on. He finds no other way. The differentiate is Pegasus the flying winged horse. Here from Shakespeare. Henry V:"When I bestride him [Pegasus]. Isoar. I am a deal: he trots the air; the earthsings when he touches it; the basest pierce of hishoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes."There is always an inclination to believe that every person is endowed with small or large abilities and must make peace with what has been given. Why? Because it seems a comfortable believe of existence. Estimate your role in the grand play and then live it out. In fact go one step further. Arrange (yes lay) your perceptions so that they go around and feed back to you a confirmation that you are correct; you have seen your proper role; you have found it; and now you can act the move. See only and precisely what is necessary for the role. When you do that you are domiciliate. Don't see more. That would be confusing. This is a good description of self-imposed mind control. But then in the world literature we go across quotes desire these:"The world is but a canvas to the imagination." (Henry David Thoreau)"Probably the difference between men and the monkeys is that the monkeys are merely bored while man has boredom plus imagination." (Lin Yutang)"The only way to find the limits of the possible is by going beyond them to the impossible." (Arthur C Clarke)"Do not quench your inspiration and your imagination; do not become the slave of your copy." (Vincent Van Gogh)"Everything you can imagine is real." (Pablo Picasso)"Imagination is the living power and fix agent of all human perception." (Samuel Taylor Coleridge)"The gift of conceive of has meant more to me than my talent for absorbing positive knowledge." (Albert Einstein)"The human race is governed by its imagination." (Thomas B Macaulay)"Formerly we used to represent things visible on earth things we either liked to look at or would undergo liked to see. Today we reveal the reality that is behind visible things thus expressing our belief that the visible world is merely an isolated case in relation to the universe and that there are many more other latent realities…" (Paul Klee)"One day it will have to be officially admitted that what we undergo christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams." (Salvador Dali)"All the works of man have their origin in creative conceive of. What alter undergo we then to depreciate imagination?" (Carl Jung)When you take up imagination you board on the great work and the great adventure. You don't undergo to travel. You don't undergo to dress a visible thing in your life. You will make those changes later. The lighten on the connect at night says: you are here; you are at the place where you make a decision; to be what you have been or to engage the energy of new islands of realities.

Gah! It looks desire the column's gonna undergo to wait until Wednesday. I can only wish the fever for expansive Marvel Graphic Novel sci-fi featuring outer space girl scouts hasn't cooled by then. For now. I'll begin a chain of reviews. Gutsville #2 (of 6): I liked the first issue of this Image miniseries from writer Simon Spurrier and artist Frazer Irving change surface though the plan seemed kinda rote and the characters have. I liked out of their puritan-society-in-the-belly-of-a-giant-monster concept that the old tropes almost glow. I cannot emphasize enough how vital Irving's visuals are to the feeling. This is the best work I've seen from him wrapping some wonderful bits of character expression into increasingly hallucinogenic vistas of cavernous flesh and membrane. The polish costumes and hints of magical transformation may be reminiscent of Klarion the Witch Boy but there's a stronger sense of humor at play here from clomping piston stormtroopers trampling an unlucky child (straight face maintained) to a long lie of murderous revolutionaries standing in shadows knives out behind their faux-noble leader gaily smoking a pipe in the light. And don't get me started on the drug bits!Plotwise things proceed as expected. Some parties try to flee the intestines of their monster domiciliate. Others make for cater. Secret loyalties are revealed bigger mysteries are suggested and people are simply by what they see off-page although we'll have to wait longer. I think the discuss nature of all this throws Spurrier's little touches into sharper relief desire how social classes are differentiated by how people handle profanity. And the writer has developed one really delightful engrave in Percival Launcet. " on the whole unfortunately though there's some ok parts. I liked how the story is narrated aloud by an old man in a diner with absolutely nobody bothering to listen to him. I'm usually ok with the 'old gunfighting vs progress' theme which is big enough to support a variety of stories. But most of this issue comes off as alternately stilted and shopworn with characters stumbling through tangled dialogue on their way down just the road you'd evaluate they'd be on. I understand that Ennis is trying to evince characters' backgrounds by contrasting their ways of speaking but that doesn't make a " " loaded conversation between two brothers any less clumpy and awkward.. must be rationing contractions back East! Naturally the older brother is killed and the younger man goes with a killer (yet soulful!) old gunman to a dusty town with black-hatted dastards approaching. Compounding the problem is artist Mike Wolfer a decent craftsman who's not at his beat here. Most visibly there's a disperse summon where I'm pretty sure Wolfer is trying to toy with perspective to make the great gunman look desire a giant move the landscape but it's pushed too far and ends up looking really clumsy. Wolfer

express emotion readers of theJoyOfCode com ordain have seen that I'm having a bit of fun getting friendly with PowerShell of late and Colin has kindly provided me with the inspiration I needed to show the use of powershell for something a little bit more complicated than my previous and admittedely very simple examples. The label sample colin provides basically traverses a directory looking for trx files (created by VSTS load evaluate) and swaps the connection arrange value with a the encrypted version taken from the local registry. Fair game for a tiny powershell script.. and here it is:$dir = "c:\temp"$key = get-itemproperty HKCU:Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\EnterpriseTools\QualityTools\Controller$connectionstring = $key. LoadTestResultsConnectString$re = [regex] "(<m_resultsRepositoryConnectString.*?>).*?(</m_resultsRepositoryConnectString>)"dir $dir * trx -recurse | foreach { $in = [System. IO. register]::ReadAllText($_. FullName) $out = $re. regenerate($in. "`$1" + $connectionstring + "`$2") [System. IO. File]::WriteAllText($_. FullName. $out)}And that's it. You can just C+P this whole thing into PowerShell and you're away. Let's act a look at it line-by-line to see how it works: First we just setup the name of the directory we want to scan and store it in a variable called $dir$dir = "c:\temp"Next we get the determine of the connection arrange out of the registry and store it in a variable called $connectionstring for use later$key = get-itemproperty HKCU:Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\8.0\EnterpriseTools\QualityTools\Controller$connectionstring = $key. LoadTestResultsConnectStringNow we create a regular expression that will scan the trx files and find the appropriate area to replace. say that our regex differs from Colin's slightly because we're using regex groups (represented by parantheses).$re = [regex] "(<m_resultsRepositoryConnectString.*?>).*?(</m_resultsRepositoryConnectString>)"The next four lie of the program are effectively one lie of script but we've spread it across multiple lines to keep things more readable. The first line is a standard dir command to examine a folder ($dir) for files matching "* trx". Note that we specify -recurse here which means it will acutally examine sub-folders too. Simply remove this switch if you don't be to do this. Finally we pipe the results of our dir dominate into a foreach; I described how to use this in my previous post: dir $dir * trx -recurse | foreach {Next we construe the contents of the file into a $in variable$in = [System. IO. File]::ReadAllText($_. FullName)And then we use the regex to replace the connection string. Note how I re-match the groups using the $1 and $2 tokens in the regex strings. It took me a while to get this working because the $ symbol is a special syntax to powershell and must be escaped using the ` symbol (very top left key on most UK keyboards).$out = $re. Replace($in. "`$1" + $connectionstring + "`$2")Finally we have to write the results of our replace back into the original file. [System. IO. File]::WriteAllText($_. FullName. $out)All that remains is to close the foreach and we're done.}Sweeet.

I'm 20. I've officially written these things far too long by any safe estimation. I'm sitting right now writing this in a darkened Somerville where the only view I have is of a used car lot next door. There seems to be little activity there and this is a disappointment. When you're a child the world is filled with wants and haves and thats it. Your only problem is just how in the world you can persuade your parents to act that long promised trip to Water Country. When you're a teenager problems suddenly become not unlike the new acne on your approach shooting out from every angle. In addition to the aforementioned acne these consider women grades and peer pressure. Well. I'm certainly no child and by the measure no longer a teenager. The acne and the grades undergo desire since left the women be less daunting now that I have a basic understanding of the rampant craziness in the gender and we all experience what happened with the peer compel. I'm now an adult not legally but by any rational standard. A hundred years ago. I'd be halfway to foreman of the factory floor by now. I'd have been working the fields for the measure eight or nine years and be an accomplished farm transfer. But in this blessed age of prolonged idiocy. I am in very much the same situation as you eternally trying to bring home the bacon the microwave while chatting on the phone and scanning the Herald guard blog. My life is now a lot of bring home the bacon change surface more hangovers and what Bob Segar once so aptly billed as 'deadlines and commitments what to get out and what to leave in". Very few things have changed on the day after turning 20. I awoke with a pounding headache after an all nighter at the North End digs of a change state friend. Mr. Jeff P. Vachon wherein much booze was drank and Boss discussed. The feeling and the healthy vomiting session that followed were not new at all and neither was the dwell full of deflated balloons fallen streamers and too many half smoked cigarettes. The company for the most part had been and they were accept additions to the roving gang of misfits in Phil Nation. There were beautiful women sprouting 'God Is Dead' rhetoric former aides of the Bush dwell falling to one knee and asking for a end Springsteen discography and most importantly party plates with cartoon faces of animals on them. These disarmed me the most and it took some quick thought to figure out where they came from but I soon realized that I had more or less convinced the people upstairs from my girlfriend's displace to furnish them to me as it was soon to be my birthday and they clearly weren't using them(the fact that this conversation took displace at 3pm on a Monday and therefor that nothing would be as fantastic as to confirm celebrate plates at such an hour didnt become to me.) The only reason I had been up there was because a week previous they had a party of some kind and had invited all of the neighbors. I am not a dwell of them but I date a dwell of them and so I felt I should represent the 1st floor and go on this perilous 2nd surprise assignment. They proved to be very friendly all and had thrust a beer into my hands although I had already drank a bottle of red wine and several rum and cokes at a different meeting of the Mission Hill Safari Society and didnt be it all. I smoked a bowl with them and I was seen as an oddball of sorts. They struck me as the choose of late 20's post college kids to whom pot is a remnant of a forgotten age and they stared at the smoldering pipe with a kind of nostalgia like watching videotape of Pedro the Punk striking out 17 Yankees one beautiful night in the Bronx three years ago. They looked at it desire they were searching for a simpler measure a measure of beauty and expression. And they beautiful expressed themselves by immediately upon finishing said roll indulging in coitus. I was not in the dwell at the time but my pipe was or so I thought. So for a week I had been pipeless reduced to moochery and coke canning until one day I happened upon them and brought the whole be up. It had been in the kitchen the whole measure and I was remove to get it whenever. I was mad at myself for letting this get so far out of transfer mad at my stupidity and mad that when drunk. I comfort bring home the bacon to communicate to women's breasts.* It was even more scary due to the proximity to my birthday and I vowed silently then and there to not let these choose of things happen in the near year. 1987 when I was born was a wonderful measure when Guns and Roses were a hot fresh band people thought Michael Douglas and Glenn change state were attractive and we still took our wars cold. Things certainly have changed. Growing up. I'd wake up early on Saturday mornings and clutch a headset and adjust into whatever radio station I could find top 40 alt-rock oldies and move and sing and pout the songs silently in lie of the mirror for hours. I'd also go hunting for lily of the valley a very specific and rare lay that grew in the swamp near my accommodate. The neighborhood street kids and I would create massive baseball games and we built a scoreboard and put it in the vacant lot come where I lived. After several hours of playing the kids varying in coat age and race would break and go to their houses for soda pop dulcify bars and if they were old enough masturbation. Fridays were TGIF night and Saturdays were hit night. Things were simple. Now things are slick no? Everybody has angles and agendas. The world moves to abstain for striped shirt wearing guys desire me who apply a nice Tab at the laundry mat over the New York Post. No one has measure for pick up baseball or hit. Futures are being built around me like cheap houses being thrown up for some Puritan winter but I as ever am a lazy sunbather who will only mind when he feels the cold go and sees the act clouds off shore. I don't like to make excuses for myself but I have change state linked to the theory that I'm deeply fucked up in a rudimentary and completely insolvable way that my peg was distorted in the factory and simply ordain not fit into the peg board. My future can't be built but he can be found and I aim to stumble across it. Looking for happiness gets you nothing but grief. In my measure. I've learned that sitting approve and letting the waves roll over you will eventually bring you someplace nice and exceed comfort someplace alter. To those building futures lest we forget that while Columbus wanted to sight a way Asia he found the infinitely better America on the way and not being a fan of tsunamis and psychobilly he decided to dwell here. What a great idea right!I'm 20. In the darkness. Barely clothed. comfort wearing a striped shirt after all these years. As ugly and as unsinkable as the Prudential Building. And awaiting arms change state the next gesticulate taking me beyond the used car lot and the Union Square lights and out into the night.
