Today we're in 2 Samuel. We're in chapter 6. We're going to be looking at the entire chapter. So let's begin reading in 2 Samuel chapter 6 at verse 1. We'll read verses 1 and 2 and get into our study. 2 Samuel chapter 6 verses 1 and 2. Again David gathered all the choice men of Israel 30,000 and David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baal Judah to bring up from there the ark of God Whose name is called by the name the Lord of hosts who dwells between the cherubim Chapter 6 as we get into it. Let me give you an introduction Chapter 6 marks the ending of the domination of a people called the Philistines the Philistines had dominated Israel but chapter 6 marks the beginning of David's rule in Jerusalem and the end of the Philistine domination and As David is here now in Jerusalem. He's just captured Jerusalem from the Jebusites and has made it his capital as David is there he begins to determine to bring the Ark of the Covenant into the city of Jerusalem Now when you read concerning the Ark of the Covenant found in the Old Testament the Ark represented the glory of God It also represents his presence in the nation of Israel and it's time for David to bring the Ark of the Covenant into the city of Jerusalem, which is becoming the capital city of the nation and So he makes a determination to bring that Ark and according to verse 1. He chooses to bring with him 30,000 what are referred to as choice men of Israel? These are battle hardened veterans The reason he's bringing these these warriors with him is because the Philistines may cause some problems He's not sure whether or not they will and therefore he brings with them Some warriors in the event that there's a problem with the Philistines and they oppose him You see for David bringing the Ark of the Covenant to the city of Jerusalem was extremely important There are at least two reasons why you can see this One of the reasons that David wants to bring the Ark of the Covenant to the city of Jerusalem simply because he loves God He's bringing the Ark of the Covenant from Baal Judah into The the city of Jerusalem is simply a demonstration that David had a great love and faith a devotion to God Because it's God who raised him up to be the king God had raised him up. He had been a shepherd He was a warrior. He became a commander Eventually he became a fugitive and then he became king God had worked in David's life from the time he was small to the point that he is now there as king in the city of Jerusalem And David is excited about it and he's devoted to God. He loves God He's praising the Lord and he is so thankful that God has has done this work on his behalf David wrote Psalm 34 verse 1 where it says I will bless the Lord at all times. His praise shall continually Be in my mouth. So David was somebody who was extremely grateful to God He loved him. He had a passionate faith in him And so he wants to bring the Ark of the Covenant to the capital city Jerusalem So that he might be able to worship the Lord there in the city and secondly by bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem David is now going to be able to heal the division that the nation of Israel had been suffering remember with me that Abner the commander of the army of Israel had basically divided the nation by Encouraging the people of Israel to follow after Saul's son a man by the name of Ishmael So 11 of the tribes of Israel there are 12 tribes of Israel 11 of the tribes began to follow After Ishbusheth where only one tribe the tribe of Judah followed after David Well after Ishbusheth has died and Abner is now dead David is reuniting this nation and so the 11 tribes that had been Alienated from him are now joining with Judah and so he now is a king over a united Nation of Israel and so what he wants to do is he wants to bring them into Jerusalem to worship in one location Because when he brings them into Jerusalem to worship in one location it reminds them that under God they are his people They are one in him They're once again going to recognize that they're one nation and so he moves to bring the Ark to the city in order that he might centralize worship as well as reunite the the nation now the Ark The Ark has been in a place called Kiryat Yareem. It's also called Ba'al Judah Which is a small city of priestly city that was 10 miles to the west of the city of Jerusalem It's been there for some time as a matter of fact commentator state that it was there for no less than 70 years In first Samuel chapter 7 verses 1 and 2 you see that it was there and been there for a little while Actually at that time it said it remained there for 20 years And the Bible says there the men of Kiryat Yareem came and took the Ark of the Lord and brought it into the house of a Benadab on the hill and consecrated Ali Azar his son to keep the Ark of the Lord So it was that the Ark remained in Kiryat Yareem a long time It was there 20 years and all the house of Israel lamented after the Lord So it had been there and began to be there for 20 years But ultimately it remained there for a total of something like 70 years and so after all of those years David now desires to bring that Ark to Jerusalem and so he goes to where it is in order to bring it to the city Now again, this is the product of his passion for God This is a product of his deep love for him Psalm 103 verse 1 Bless the Lord, oh my soul and all that is in within me blesses Holy name and his desire is to bless the Lord he has a passion for God and and it motivates him to bring That Ark to the city now notice in verse 2 how it's called the Ark of God Whose name is called by the name the Lord of hosts when it speaks of of the name that speaks of the covenantal name That God gave to the nation of Israel. It's it's called the name with four letters It's Jehovah as it's translated today And it refers to him as the Lord of hosts who dwells between the cherubim that speaks of God's holiness as well as his might and He is the he is the Lord of hosts. He's a Lord over human armies. He's the Lord over the hosts of heaven He's the Lord over the nation of Israel the celestial heavens He's the Lord of hosts and so it speaks concerning who he is and and and this is the Ark representing the holiness and power of God And so they're about to bring this Ark back to Jerusalem and in verse 3 It says so they set the Ark of God on a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab Which was on the hill and as I and Ohio the sons of Abinadab drove the new cart And they brought it out of the house of Abinadab Which was on the hill accompanying the Ark of God and Ohio went before the Ark Then David and all the house of Israel played music before the Lord on all kinds of instruments of firwood on Harps on stringed instruments on tambourines on systems and on symbols And so they're about to bring the Ark back Now notice with me. They set the Ark of God on a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab As I said it had been there about 70 years. It had stayed there Ali Azar had consecrated it was consecrated to keep the Ark But we are introduced to two men, Azza and Ohio. There were more than likely Abinadab's grandsons. We're gonna see something about this in just a moment now notice It says in verse 3 that they put it on a new cart Now in 1st Samuel chapter 5 and 6 remember with me that the Philistines had routed the armies of Israel And they had captured the the Ark and And when they had possession of the Ark of the Covenant God struck them many of them died and others developed tumors And so they got concerned they wanted to get rid of that Ark because of what was going on So they sent it back so they put the Ark on a cart that was drawn by two milk cows They put in some gold for a trespass offering they sent it away And so what happened is that Ark returned to the nation of Israel And it may be that the Jews are now using the example of the Philistines in the carrying of the Ark That's a great mistake because Israel was not to use the example of unbelievers in their approach to God You see the Philistines were not judged on how they handle the Ark because the Philistines were ignorant They didn't have a relationship with God. They didn't have the word of God When you have God's word and you have a relationship with God you are held to a stricter accountability Then people who are ignorant of those kinds of things That's why James says let not many of you become teachers. He says because you are gonna receive stricter judgment Because the more you know the more you oh the more you know you are more accountable for The Philistines didn't know that that isn't how the Ark of the Covenant is to be transported So they placed it on a cart Israel knew that the Ark of the Covenant was not to be transported that way and Israel is going to be dealt with because of that. You see according to the book of Numbers chapter 3 verses 30 and 31 It says there that the Ark is to be carried by priests from the family of the coethites In Exodus chapter 25 verses 12 through 15 God said you shall cast four rings of gold for it and put them in its four Corners two rings shall be on one side two rings on the other side And you shall make poles of acacia wood and overlay them with gold You shall put the poles into the rings on the sides of the Ark that the Ark may be carried by them The poles shall be in the rings of the Ark. They shall not be taken from it In other words the priests were supposed to put the Ark of the Covenant Between them as they carried it and it was to be carried Because they had these rings the poles going through them it was to be carried in that way It was not to be put on a cart. You're gonna see something in just a moment So it says in verses 4 and 5 That they brought it out of the house of a benedict So there's now a great celebration. There's music. There's singing. There's rejoicing the Ark is coming to Jerusalem Worship is taking place. It's a time of praise and rejoicing with all of your might in 1st Chronicles 13 8 It says David and all Israel played music before God with all their might with singing on harps on stringed instruments Tamboring cymbals with trumpets and so there's this festivity taking place. You have to get this in your mind There's thousands of people and they're shouting and praising God and they're worshiping him and as this takes place Something terrible happens. It says in verse 6 when they came to Nakhon's threshing floor Uzzah put out his hand to the Ark of God and Took hold of it for the oxen stumbled Then the anger of the Lord was aroused against Uzzah and God struck him there for his error And he died there by the Ark of God The Ark is being transported the oxen stumble the Ark is nearly dropped off of that cart And without a moment's hesitation Uzzah reaches out to steady the Ark bad mistake because Uzzah was a I mean I almost I was called that this message was going to be called as a was a because He died He died when he reached out his hand to touch and steady the Ark God struck him and he died now When you think about that for a moment how immediately he was judged People could say this is unfair This seems to be wrong Why would this man be judged in the way that he was? Well the answer is very simple Ozzah had great responsibility because Uzzah was a Levite He was a priest and he knew the way it should have been done and he chose not to do it that way Because as a priest he would have had to have been familiar with the word of God and God's requirements Concerning the transportation of the Ark of the Covenant. It's found in the book of Numbers chapter 4 verse 15 There it says when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of this sanctuary When the camp is set to go then the sons of co-auth shall come and carry them But they shall not touch any holy thing lest they died These are the things in the tabernacle of meeting which the sons of co-auth are to carry And so God said if you reach out and you deal with it in an improper way, you will die This may have been an apparent innocent misstep, but he was dealt with immediately Why because God made it clear that he is holy He's to be approached in a certain way and you're supposed to have a reverential fear of God in Psalm 111 verse 10 It says the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom in Isaiah God is speaking and he says in Isaiah 57 11 of whom have you been afraid or feared? That you have lied and not remembered me not taking it to your heart Is it not because I have held my peace from of all that you do not fear me? God is saying who is it that you are afraid of because you obviously are not afraid of me and is it because I've been gracious and merciful to you for so long that you're taking me for granted now and You don't fear me and you don't understand that that the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom Have you failed to understand that you cannot just come walking up to me and just approach me with the with a rash Indifference you cannot come to me in that way with this casualness and expect for me to not respond to you I believe that that mentality still exists by the way There are quite a number of people who have a casual indifference in their approach to God and Simply because God hasn't dealt with them doesn't mean that God won't In this particular case God had given them requirements He said the way that you handle the the items of The tabernacle the way that you deal with those things and to be done in a certain way and they they they didn't care Well, the New Testament tells us that the way we approach God is through the blood of Jesus Christ Jesus said I'm the way the truth in the life. No man comes to the father But by me we're told that we can approach God through the blood of Jesus That was poured out for the remission of our sins that we have a relationship with God Because God first loved us and gave his son for us The Bible tells us that God demonstrated his love toward us in that while we were yet sinners Christ died for us and so I as a believer know that it cost Something for me to have a relationship with God and therefore I don't want to take it in for granted And I don't want to approach it with a casual kind of indifferent attitude You see Jesus Christ when he died on that cross paid a tremendous price that really was a price I was supposed to pay Jesus took my sin upon himself. He became the sin offering for me And so when I read the Bible and I I read of what Jesus Christ went through just the idea that he left The splendor of heaven to come to earth We look at earth and we think it's as good as it's gonna get Jesus left heaven to come here with us It's like leaving a palace and entering into a pigsty and he came and dwelt amongst men He took upon himself human flesh Not only did he go through the discomfort and various things that human beings go through He ultimately was tortured to the point that he was placed on a cross and died So how much does God love me? He loves me enough to give his own son that I might trust in him and have a relationship with him Jesus Christ died on a cross. It's not the cross. That's holy. It's Jesus. That's holy Because during the time of Christ thousands of people died on crosses. It was a Roman means of of Capital punishment. That's how people were executed. They were placed on crosses and thousands of people died during the time of Christ on Crosses when Jesus himself died Jesus died in between two thieves who also died on crosses. It's not the cross It's the one who died on it that I looked to and the cross is a symbol of what he did for me a Torture a means of torture and death that was intended to be as painful as possible Prolonging that agony as long as possible and so as a believer in Christ I don't want to take the death of Christ and Not look at it as a serious sobering thing in my life and it transformed me in every way shape and form it made me Completely unrecognizable to those who knew me best when I finally embraced the one who died on that cross And so you don't treat the things of God with a casualness and an indifference and when Uzzah did that when he reached over to steady that card. It may have been something that he thought was proper to do But God had said no no you don't touch any holy thing lest you die And he ultimately was was he ultimately died because of that Hebrews chapter 4 verse 16 says let us therefore come boldly To the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need with a confidence I can approach God now because it's a throne of grace that I come to Grace is not simply permission to continue sinning as much as I want and go to heaven Grace is the means that God has given to me to be saved and to refrain from Sin to no longer be under the yoke and bondage of sin to no longer have a life that is That is earmarked by known by to have a reputation of being a particular kind of sinner Grace has been extended to us in order that we might have a relationship with God the word grace speaks of an unmerited favor God has given to us something that we do not deserve You know like I've said many times in the past today people think the only thing one has to do in order to enter into heaven Is to die but the Bible doesn't teach that Like everybody automatically dies and goes to heaven and it doesn't matter what you were and what you did You just automatically die and go to heaven the Bible doesn't teach that the Bible teaches that in order for me to get into Heaven I need to be born again, and I have a faith in Jesus Christ who died on across to secure my Salvation poured out his blood to wash me clean from my sin in order that I might have a knowledge of God and a depth of his love And so an indifference to the things of God is still something that God does not find Pleasurable and that's what took place there now as this man dies notice verse 8 David became angry because of the Lord's outbreak against us And he called the name of the place Perez Azza first Mexican in the Bible right here to this day Somebody's gonna believe me. They're gonna write Chicano. No, I'm just playing with you David was afraid of the Lord that day and he said how can the Ark of the Lord come to me? So David would not move the Ark of the Lord with him into the city of David But David took it aside into the house of Obed Adam the get-tie The Ark of the Lord remained in the house of Obed Adam the get-tie three months The Lord blessed Obed Obed Adam and all his household and two things I want to point out briefly one notice verse 8 David became angry notice verse 9 David was afraid David became angry and David became afraid Now who is he angry with there are those to say that he's angry with the Lord I don't think so David was angry more than likely with himself Because of his carelessness somebody died And so he'd be upset for sure, but he'd be angry with himself The people are now they're shocked to their in silence there They're in fear and as they're there this into this party scene this this Celebration scene that was so loud and so excited is now completely silent as they see this body of this dead man laying there in the road And so David says let's just take this Ark and let's take it to Obed Adam's house See if God kills him. No, he didn't say that We'll take it over there Obed Adam is a priest and we'll just leave it there But as the Ark is there this priest's home becomes blessed by God So in verse 12 it was told King David saying the Lord has blessed the house of Obed Adam and all That belongs to him because of the Ark of God So David went and brought up the Ark of God from the house of Obed Adam to the city of David with gladness And so it was when those bearing the Ark of the Lord had gone six paces that he sacrificed Oxen and fatted sheep then David danced before the Lord with all his might David was wearing a linen a Fod So David and all the house of Israel brought up the Ark of the Lord was shouting and with the sound of the trumpet Well since Obed Adam had been blessed David believes now that it's safe to bring the Ark To the city of Jerusalem and so he chooses to do so but notice what happens It says in verse 13 when those bearing the Ark notice it's no longer on a cart They're doing it the proper way those bearing the Ark of the Lord had gone six paces there He sacrificed so as they began their journey they stopped to offer sacrifices and then from that point of offering Sacrifices stepping out in faith going to the city of David. They began to worship It says in verse 14 David danced before the Lord now notice with all his might David was wearing a linen a Fod He danced before the Lord with all of his might wearing in a Fod a linen a Fod was a priestly garment It was also a symbol of humble submission and service David is worshiping as one who is humbly submitted to God. It's a symbol of his humility and The joy that David has that God and he are good that everything is all right between them is Spilling out as he's dancing before the Lord and what he's doing is he's leading the people in praise and worship of God and as his His worship is spilling out before them They begin to join with him and they too are worshiping God wholeheartedly and he's worshiping God in impurity and praise So his pure love and worship for God inspires the people to worship and praise now. That's the heart of true worship Sometimes we have people who will say well look at I read in the Bible that David danced before the Lord How come we don't dance as long as you know like they want a holy hokey pokey here in church or something How come we don't dance? You know what we're looking at here. Isn't David establishing a way to worship Be careful not to think that this is not to say that that there isn't a certain exuberance and praise and worshipfulness That that that is is sometimes, you know, it's just so expressive because indeed there is But what David is doing is showing us something that every one of us need to have we need to have a heart of worship That is pure before the Lord David was not doing this in other words to be seen by man David was doing this to be seen by God.  It starts from inside and it works its way out You see sometimes we get caught up with with Doctrine we want to make sure that we're worshiping in in truth But we also need to worship in spirit the Holy Spirit needs to move us in such a way that as we are worshiping him We're worshiping him correctly.  I am demonstrating what I believe in the way that I live and David Worship the Lord with all of his heart and as he was worshiping the Lord He was doing it in such a way that that the people around him had the the spillover if you will of his worship And they also began to worship God and that's how it works The procession is moving and the Lord is Inspiring David to worship Psalm 95-2 says let us come before his presence with thanksgiving Let us shout joyfully to him with Psalms Psalm 100 verse 2 says serve the Lord with gladness come before his presence with singing And so there they are worshiping the Lord Singing and praising God. He's so excited Musical instruments are playing and David is is is dancing before God with all of his might in humble service to him But notice verse 16 now as the Ark of the Lord came into the city of David Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before the Lord And she despised him in her heart Michal is is David's first wife David had killed 200 Philistine warriors and paid a dowry for her But her father had given her to somebody else and she had lived with another man as that man's wife Even after she had married David for nine years Ultimately she was brought back to David when David ascended the throne She was her father's daughter and she looks down there and she sees David her husband whirling and praising God and Something goes off in her heart You know genuine worship can actually cause people who do not know the Lord to ridicule those who do You may worship the Lord and you praise God you raise your hands to sing to him, which is appropriate. It's right And those who don't know the Lord will look at you like you're some kind of fool like you're a clown Like there's something wrong with you And I find that very interesting Because in our nation in our society What is normal is to go to a football game when it's 10 degrees below zero To take your shirt off and paint your body in different colors and scream for your team. That's normal People think that that's okay. There's no problem with that and people you know this is kind of goofy, but he's a real fan People think it's okay to stand in line all night so you can be first to see a Michael Jackson movie That's okay, but you're kind of crazy if you go to church twice in the same week There's something wrong with you. That's the way people are people are that way You know they they they are caught up with things that don't matter that ultimately have no eternal purpose Even the church by and large spends more at Starbucks than they give in Offerings to God because that's the way it is and we wonder why the world is going to hell in a hand basket It's because we don't understand how to worship God with all of our strength We don't know how to worship God with all of our heart and we don't we kind of like know how to worship the world But we really don't know how to worship the Lord Mihael with somebody who's looking at her husband who is full-on worshiping God and the first thing that comes to her mind Is that there's something wrong with him? We'll see this again in just a moment first 17 So they brought the Ark of the Lord and set it in its place in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord and when David had finished offering burnt offerings and peace offerings He blessed the people in the name of the Lord of hosts Then he distributed among all the people among the whole multitude of Israel both the women and the men to everyone a Loaf of bread a piece of meat and a cake of raisins. So all the people departed everyone to his own house David had had built a tent and More than likely it was like the tabernacle. It was a place of worship And he had placed in front of it an altar an altar of sacrifice so that offerings could be made upon that altar and After these offerings have been made he begins to bless the people and he gives gifts to them So they can go home and continue the celebration Now after he has blessed the people notice what happens here verse 20 David returned to bless his household and Mekal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said how glorious was the king of Israel today? Uncovering himself today in the eyes of the maids of his servants as one of the base fellows Shamelessly uncovers himself He comes home to his sweet wife David had just blessed the people We just read that he gave him gifts, but he had just blessed the people He made his offerings to God, but now it's time for him to go home and As he returns home what he wants to do is bless his house His heart is overflowing it's overflowing with praise to the Lord and he wants to bring that to his home But his wife meets him and tries to quench the Holy Spirit Immediately she verbally assaults him how glorious was the king of Israel today uncovering himself in other words.   You should be ashamed of yourself You should be embarrassed of what you did In David's particular case It's unfortunate that he came home to that kind of reception David came home to bring what God had given to him But you know that kind of thing happens it still does a husband goes to a retreat and He hasn't been walking solidly with God But he goes to the retreat and when he comes home because God touched him. He says to the wife I Really think that the Lord spoke to me and I really need to get it together. I want to leave the house And sadly sometimes not always sometimes the wife immediately says are you kidding me?   It could be a son to somebody who's living in the home God speaks to him.  It happens all the time I've had women in our fellowship more than once approached me saying I've been praying for my husband to get right with God He went to the men's retreat came back. He is right with God. He wants to serve But now I don't really want him that way. He's too fanatical He's too busy. He's doing too many things I've seen that I've seen that many times Where God can be doing a movement in somebody's life Where they want to worship God and the spillover is going to be blessing to the home When the wife says you look like a fool And how can you be this way and that's what happened with David? David was dancing before the Lord with all of his might And the people could see that God was moving in him and his worship was true and pure and and it was so real And and he stands up before him and he blesses him in the name of God The Lord bless thee the Lord keep thee the Lord make his face to shine upon thee and be gracious unto you The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee and give thee peace that was a blessing more than likely that he gave And he blessed the people now he goes home to bless his family and his family Doesn't want to receive the blessing his wife doesn't want it Now this is interesting what happens here Because she says look at what you did You are shameless Well, David verse 21 David said to me call. Okay, I'll never worship God again. I'm so sorry. No A lot of guys do that David said to me hall It was before the Lord who chose me instead of your father and all his house To appoint me ruler over the people of the Lord over israel Therefore I will play music before the Lord and I will be even more undignified than this And will be humble in my own sight But as for the maid servants of whom you have spoken By them I will be held in honor David rebuked his wife I know that's not a popular thing to do. God knows you're taking your life into your hands guys Let's face it. Let's be honest Every marriage has rough spots two rivers that were on the roam unite to make one And at the place of connection there's always a whole lot of chaos You're dating And you've got your own path And you're doing fine here and She's doing fine there Then you get to that point where you become one and when you become one You now have to learn how to get along as one in the Lord and it isn't easy Everything we think if you have you know, if you're single right now stay single, but every person That I know every one of us every one of us It's true Every one of us were doing great until we got married And then we got married and all of a sudden we discovered things about us that we didn't even know existed until god was gracious Enough to give us somebody to point them out And there's always done with a smile and then what happens is You start having to to deal with each other the way you really are and Some guys the way they deal with that is they just close off. You never hear a thing from them Other guys it's just a fight constantly and there's everything in between You have to find that right place to be able to bring a word of correction And it does exist.   You're concerned with how I look because I humbled myself I am willing to lower myself even further than I was just a moment ago if I have to Because I want to love God because I want to praise God because I want to bless and worship God And I want to do it with all of my heart and then you need to know sweet heart You're not going to stop me from doing that.  I'm not losing respect to anybody They're not gonna They're not going to reject me. They will respect me. I've discovered that to be true too by the way There are people who will tell you listen, you know keep it to yourself All right fine. You're born again. Cool. That's fine But keep it to yourself man. Why do you have to tell me about it? Why do you tell people on the job site about it? Why why do you have to talk? Keep it to yourself. You want to be a christian? That's fine. I got my own religion. You got yours. Why are you telling me about it I had a friend of mine named jim dear friend of mine He was the most unhappy guy I knew And I was a new believer. I was only a couple years old in jesus. I'd just gotten out of the army We were jogging together and and I told him as a friend will tell another friend. I said jimmy you're miserable man And he got so mad at me and he's my dear friend so he can and he got mad Who are you to tell me i'm miserable? I've got joy man I got so much joy as he's yelling and spewing and angry.  You want to worship god.  I will be humble in my own sight I'll come down to the level of the most humble worshiper of god And instead of it causing people to reject it will cause people to respect me. I've seen that on the job site I had a job. I had a job where the boss my supervisor Knew I was a believer. I shared with him. I was a young man. I was only 26 years old He'd already been married 20 some years And I shared with him that he needed the lord. He didn't like it He didn't like it that this in his mind this kid was telling him that he needed god. He didn't like it And so what he did is he started hiding pornography around where I would find it when I was going through files and things There'd be a centerfold Just to try and cause me pain and grief I learned a long time ago When you throw a rock into a pack of dogs the one that barks is the one who got hit And that's what happened with him. He got convicted. He didn't like it And the first thing they want to do is they say listen your religion is fine But keep it out of the workplace keep it out of the school keep it out of the community Keep it out of the newspaper and the opinion sections. Just keep it to yourself Michal was saying that to her husband You are undignified Whirling around dancing around you're the king, but you look like a clown And david says I will humble myself even more Look at what god did by the way michal He removed your father and your family to put me as the king And you're going to try and get me removed too And it's not going to happen And what's interesting too is known as verse 23 therefore michal the daughter of saul had no children to the day of her death Now there are those who say that this made david so angry that he stopped having relations with his wife That could be true, but I I really don't subscribe to that David loved her David wanted her back David loved her I think it was one of those moments that a husband rebukes a wife, corrects her? But why didn't she have children? Well, it may simply mean that the lord with held her from conceiving So as to keep someone from saul's line From having a claim to the throne of israel Saul Was from the tribe of benjamin david From the tribe of juda messiah Comes from the tribe of juda The lord with held her from conceiving so that She would not bear any that would claim the throne Thus cutting off the lineage of saul So she never bore a child Not necessarily because david had no marital relations with her But because god kept her womb closed so that she would not bear a child that would have a claim to the throne of israel We need to worship god This nation needs people like you who are open about your love and worship for god Don't hide that light under a bushel Don't allow the world To intimidate you with the silence by saying you look ridiculous Because the world should not tell me how to approach my god The world did that in the case of of aza When he and his brother iheo were carrying the ark in an improper fashion The world tries to tell you how to approach god No Approach god based on what he says And what he says as you approach him through jesus christ And once you have Then you have a heart of worship that you express before people not to be seen by them But as an expression of your love for him be sincere in your worship, but don't be ashamed to


The Beltrami County inmate who escaped from the Sanford Bemidji Hospital while in police custody appeared in court today. Keanu Major was apprehended yesterday in St. Cloud. He's being held without bail at the Beltrami County Jail. Major alluded authorities while receiving treatment for injuries he sustained during an altercation last Friday. He escaped from a bathroom that had an exit. The corrections officer was unaware of. This has prompted the department to implement new procedures when escorting prisoners to the hospital. Doing a familiarization with the facility so that our corrections officers when they're out there know which restroom facilities to allow our inmates to use and which ones they should not be using. Major's next court appearance is scheduled for Monday, August 7th.

The history of Exadata in the platform is really unique and from my vantage point it started earlier this century as a skunk works inside of Oracle called Project Sage back when grid computing was the next big thing. Oracle saw that betting on standard hardware would put it on an industry curve that would rapidly evolve. And I remember the Oracle HP database machine which was announced at Oracle OpenWorld almost 15 years ago and then Exadata kept evolving. After the Sun acquisition it became a platform that had tightly integrated hardware and software. And today Exadata, it keeps evolving almost like a chameleon to address more workloads and reach new performance levels. Last April for example, Oracle announced the availability of Exadata X9M in OCI, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and introduced the ability to run the autonomous database service or the Exadata database service. You know, Oracle often talks about they call it stock exchange performance level kind of no description needed and sort of related capabilities. The company as we know is fond of putting out benchmarks and comparisons with previous generations of product and sometimes competitive products that underscore the progress that's being made with Exadata such as 87% more IOPS with metrics for latency measured in microseconds, mics instead of milliseconds and many other numbers that are industry leading and compelling especially for mission critical workloads. One thing that hasn't been as well publicized as the Exadata on OCI is using AMD's EPYC processors in the database service. EPYC is not Eastern Pacific Yacht Club for all you sailing buffs, rather it stands for Extreme Performance Yield Computing, the enterprise grade version of AMD's Zen architecture which has been a linchpin of AMD's success in terms of penetrating enterprise markets and to focus on the innovations that AMD and Oracle are bringing to market, we have with us today Juan Loiza who's Executive Vice President of Mission Critical Technologies at Oracle and Mark Papermaster who's the CTO and EVP of technology and engineering at AMD. Juan, welcome back to the show. Mark, great to have you on theCUBE in your first appearance. Thanks for coming on. Yep, happy to be here. Thank you. All right Juan, let's start with you. You've been on theCUBE a number of times as I said and you've talked about how Exadata is a top platform for Oracle database. We've covered that extensively. What's different and unique from your point of view about Exadata Cloud Infrastructure X9M on OCI? Yeah, so as you know, Exadata, it's designed top down to be the best possible platform for database and it has a lot of unique capabilities like we make extensive use of RDMA, smart storage. We take advantage of everything we can in the leading hardware platforms and X9M is our next generation platform and it does exactly that. We're always wanting to get all the best that we can from the available hardware that our partners like AMD produce. And so that's what X9M is, it's faster, more capacity, lower latency, more IOs, pushing the limits of the hardware technology. So we don't want to be the limit the software, database software should not be the limit. It should be the actual physical limits of the hardware and that's what X9M is all about. Why won AMD chips in X9M? Yeah, so we're introducing AMD chips. We think they provide outstanding performance, both for OLTP and for analytic workloads. And it's really that simple. We just think the performance is outstanding in the product. Yeah, Mark, your career is quite amazing. I've been around long enough to remember the transition to CMOS from a mid or coupled logic in the mainframe era back when you were at IBM. That was an epic technology call at the time. I was, of course, steeped as an analyst at IDC in the PC era and like many witnessed the tectonic shift that Apple's iPod and iPhone caused. And the timing of you joining AMD is quite important in my view because it coincided with the year that PC volumes peaked and marked the beginning of what I call the stagflation period for X86. I could riff on history for hours, but let's focus on the Oracle relationship. Mark, what are the relevant capabilities and key specs of the AMD chips that are used in Exadata X9M on Oracle's cloud? Well, thanks. And it's really the basis of, I think, the great partnership that we have with Oracle on Exadata X9M and that is that the AMD technology uses our third generation of Zen processor. Zen was architected to really bring high performance back to X86, a very, very strong roadmap that we've executed on schedule to our commitments. And this third generation does all of that. It uses a seven nanometer CPU that is a core that was designed to really bring throughput, bring really high efficiency to computing and just deliver raw capabilities. And so for Exadata X9M, it's really leveraging all of that. It's implemented in up to 64 cores per socket. It's got really anywhere from 128 to 168 PCIe, Gen4 IO connectivity. So you can really attach all of the necessary infrastructure and storage that's needed for Exadata performance and also memory. You have to feed the beast for those analytics and for the OLTP that Juan was talking about. And so it does have eight lanes of memory for high performance DDR4. So it's really as a balanced processor and it's implemented in a way to really optimize high performance. That is our whole focus of AMD. It's where we've reset the company focus on years ago. And again, great to see the super smart database team at Oracle really a partner with us, understand those capabilities. And it's been just great to partner with them to enable Oracle to really leverage the capabilities of the Zen processor. Yeah, it's been a pretty amazing 10 or 11 years for both companies. Mark, how specifically are you working with Oracle at the engineering and product level? And what does that mean for your joint customers in terms of what they can expect from the collaboration? Well, here's where the collaboration really comes to play. You think about a processor and I'll say, when Juan's team first looked at it, there's general benchmarks and the benchmarks are impressive, but they're general benchmarks. And they showed, I'll say the base processing capability. But the partnership comes to bear when it means optimizing for the workloads that Exadata X9M is really delivering to the end customers. And that's where we dive down and as we learn from the Oracle team, we learn to understand where bottlenecks could be, where is there tuning that we could, in fact, really boost the performance above. I'll say that baseline that you get in the generic benchmarks. And that's what the teams have done. So for instance, you look at optimizing latency to our DMA, you look at just throughput, optimizing throughput on OLTP and database processing. When you go through the workloads and you take the traces and you break it down and you find the areas that are bottlenecking and then you can adjust. We have thousands of parameters that can be adjusted for a given workload. And that's again, that's the beauty of the partnership. So we have the expertise on the CPU engineering, Oracle Exadata team knows innately what the customers need to get the most out of their platform. And when the teams came together, we actually achieved anywhere from 20% to 50% gains on specific workloads. It was really exciting to see. So, okay, so I want to follow up on that. Is that different from the competition? How are you driving customer value? You mentioned some percentage improvements. Are you measuring primarily with latency? How do you look at that? Well, you know, we are differentiated but in the number of factors, we bring a higher core density. We bring the highest core density, certainly in x86. And moreover, what we've led the industry is how to scale those cores. We have a very high performance fabric that connects those together. So as a customer needs more cores, again, we scale anywhere from eight to 64 cores. But what the trick is that as you add more cores, you want the scale to be as close to linear as possible. And so that's a differentiation we have. And we enable that, again, with that balanced computer of CPU, IO, and memory that we design. But the key is, you know, we pride ourselves at AMD of being able to partner in a very deep fashion with our customers. We listen very well. I think that's what we've had the opportunity to do with Juan and his team. We appreciate that. And that is how we got the kind of performance benefits that I described earlier. It's working together almost like one team in bringing that best possible capability to the end customers. Great, thank you for that. Juan, I want to come back to you. Can both the Exadata database service and the Autonomous database service, can they take advantage of Exadata Cloud X9M capabilities that are in that platform? Yeah, absolutely. Autonomous is basically our self-driving version of the Oracle database. But fundamentally, it is the same database core. So both of them will take advantage of the tremendous performance that we're getting now. When Mark takes about 64 cores, that's per chip. We have two chips, it's a two-socket server. So it's a 128-way processor. And then from our point of view, there's two threads. So from the database point of view, it's a 256-way processor. And so there's a lot of raw performance there. And we've done a lot of work with the AMD team to make sure that we deliver that to our customers for all the different kinds of workload, including OLTP analytics, but also including for our autonomous database. So yes, absolutely. All that takes advantage of it. Now, Juan, I can't let you go without asking you about the competition. I've written extensively about the big four, hyperscale clouds, specifically AWS, Azure, Google, and Alibaba. And I know that, don't hate me. Sometimes it angers some of my friends at Oracle. IBM, too, that I don't include you in that list. But I see Oracle specifically as different and really the cloud for the most demanding applications and top performance databases and not the commodity cloud. Which, of course, that angers all my friends at those four companies. So I'm taking everybody off. So how does Exadata Cloud Infrastructure, X9M, compare to the likes of AWS, Azure, Google, and other database cloud services in terms of OLTP and analytics, value, performance, cost, however you want to frame it? Yeah, so our architecture is fundamentally different. We've architected our database for the scale out environment. So for example, we've moved intelligence in the storage. We've put remote direct memory access. We've put persistent memory into our products. So we've done a lot of architectural changes that they haven't. And you're starting to see a little bit of that. Like if you look at some of the things that Amazon and Google are doing, they're starting to realize that, hey, if you're going to achieve good results, you really need to push some database processing into the storage. So they're taking baby steps toward that, roughly 15 years after we've had a product. And again, at some point, they're going to realize you really need RDMA. You really need more direct access to those capabilities. So they're slowly getting there. We're well ahead. And the way this is delivered is better availability, better performance, lower latency, higher IOPS. So and this is why our customers love our product. And if you look at the global Fortune 100, over 90% of them are running Exadata today. And even in our cloud, over 60% of the global 100 are running Exadata in the Oracle Cloud because of all the differentiated benefits that they get from the product. So yeah, we're well ahead in the database space. Mark, last question for you is, how do you see this relationship evolving in the future? Can you share a little roadmap for the audience? You bet. Well, first off, given the deep partnership that we've had on Exadata X9M, it's really allowed us to inform our future design. So in our current third generation Epic EPYC is that, is really what we call our Epic server offerings. And it's a 7,003 third gen and Exadata X9M. So what about fourth gen? Well, fourth gen is well underway and ready for the future, but it incorporates learning that we've done in partnership with Oracle. It's gonna have even more through capabilities. It's gonna have expanded memory capabilities because there's a CXL Connect Express link that'll expand even more memory opportunities and I could go on. So that's the beauty of a deep partnership as it enables us to really take that learning going forward. It pays forward and we're very excited to fold all of that into our future generations and provide even better capabilities to one in his team moving forward. Yeah, you guys have been obviously very forthcoming. You have to be with Zen and Epic. Juan, anything you'd like to add as closing comments? Yeah, I would say that in the processor market, there's been a real acceleration in innovation in the last few years. There was a big move 10, 15 years ago when multi-core processors came out and then we were on that for a while and then things started stagnating, but in the last two or three years and AMD has been leading this, there's been a dramatic acceleration in innovation in this space. So it's very exciting to be part of this and customers are getting a big benefit from this. All right, Chance, hey, thanks for coming back in theCUBE today, really appreciate your time. Thanks, glad to be here. All right, thank you for watching this exclusive CUBE Conversation. This is Dave Vellante from theCUBE and we'll see you next time.


So, my idea for tonight is that nothing else matters except our character. Some days go smoothly, some days are very difficult, there are so many factors outside our control, so many things that we're really at the mercy of. The only thing we can really control is our own actions to a degree, our own thoughts to a degree, our own attitude and that is our task. Our task is not to have perfect conditions to make sure everything goes right. Our task is to have good character, to have the right mindset, the right attitude to face whatever comes. Everything I find refreshing or leaving about letting go of everything else and simply asking myself, am I living up to what I believe is good character? Am I being a good character? Am I taking a good mindset? Am I taking the right attitude? Am I doing good things? Am I approaching this day with the right intentions? As long as I can do that, I'm doing my work. I'm doing my job. There are lots of open tasks in front of me now as so often for all of us. There are many loose ends, untied strings, untied loose threads. There are questions, uncertainties, problems with no yet identified solution and here I am late in the evening about to end another day and I can't solve all these problems. For now, I can just ask myself, am I being a good character? Do I have a good mindset? From there, I can be satisfied that I am on a good path and the problems and the details of those problems just start on one of them when it's time and start going. At the end of the day, I can just reflect, am I living this day to the best that I can as a good person, the best I understand what that means? If so, then for today, my work is done.


So we're going to get underway. In our first group of speakers this morning, we will be hearing from Scott Sklar, who is the president of the Stella Group and Scott, and I are also on the steering committee of the Sustainable Energy Coalition, a sponsor of this expo. Then we will hear from Carl Gaywell, who is also part of the SEC, he's executive director of the Geothermal Energy Association, and then from Susan Wickwire, the acting director of the Climate Protection Partnerships Division at the Environmental Protection Agency. Scott. Thank you all for coming. My company optimizes all the energy efficiency and renewable technologies for the commercial sector and Department of Defense, and I'm an adjunct professor at George Washington University teaching us sustainable energy costs between the law school, the engineering school, the business school, and the arts and science school. What I wanted to lay out for you in my short presentation is, as of 2010, the Pew Charitable Trust said in private sector investments, just in renewable energy, topped $243 billion in 2010. Government investments were about $594 billion. So we're starting to get up to $1 trillion in investments and these blended, the whole blend, the portfolio of the technologies. And I just want to point out that when Carl Carroll and I started this business, the private sector investment was about $114 million, and now we're over $200 billion. So I just wanted to give you the extent of when I had more hair, what was the status going on. What most people don't know is that there have been, in the last three and a half years, 24 very solid studies to show the blend of high-value energy efficiency and the entire portfolio of renewable technology can meet the entire needs of the United States of America or this planet. I want to point that out to you. The entire blend, I hear all these whining studies or comments that wind can't meet at all or geothermal can't meet at all or solar that's all very true, it can. But the portfolio can and can with more capacity than we need. So I'm not going to go through all 24 studies and bore you to death, but I'm going to highlight a few. The European Peace Commission DLR, which is the analytical group for Germany's NASA, and they said by 2090 with policies and technology we have today we could meet all the world's need in energy. The American Solar Energy Society, which again is the technical society for all the renewables, got NREL and the other national labs and they were doing at the same time totally independently from DLR and they came and said by 2060 doing that and the blend would be about 57% energy efficiency 43% renewables. Google.org said we could do it by 2030. It would cost us about 4.4 trillion as a country, which by the way we've had a couple of wars now that were almost up to that point and we'd get 5.4 trillion back in savings and benefit. So the National Research Council in June 2009 said we could meet primarily almost all our electrical energy from the blend of renewables and energy efficiency. The Institute of Local Self-Reliance put out a report very well done that said 32 states, 36 states could meet all their energy needs with the renewable resources they already had and the other 14 states could meet a large portion and absolutely be supplied by the overages of the other states and if you go on that website and look at the map, it's stark the benefit of what could be done. MIT conservatively said geothermal can meet 10% of our energy needs. The EPRI study said the water energy technologies tidal, wave, free-flow hydro could meet 10% of our energy needs. The National Lab said waste heat could meet minimum 8% to 12% of our energy needs. So when you start putting all this together rooftop solar, thermal and electric conservatively could meet 12% of our energy needs. You put all these blends together and again I can't go through every study it's astounding and these studies except for one the last one on this list I handed out the basis was existing commercial technology no breakthroughs you would need some policies which is why we do stuff like this here because you have to be sort of right now the United States subsidizes conventional energy mature technologies by mature companies and mature markets more than any other country on this planet. So that's one of the reasons we're deterred in getting into the marketplace and I'd like to end up that the DC study that was just released that came out said the climate scientists now said we could meet 77% of the world's need through renewable technologies if there were major technological advances and while I like the study was nice I know the climate scientists don't like other scientists telling them how to research and analyze climate I like to tell the climate scientists they don't have researching technology you don't know what you're talking about but they met well but the point being and why I put it down here is I want you to leave saying there frankly are no peer review studies that are out there and again I'm a university professor been in the field for 30 years that say that conventional technologies are sustainable for this planet not one but there are 24 studies that they blend can meet the needs of the future with technology we have today thanks for hearing me out morning my name is Carl Gaywell and I'm with the geothermal energy association I do have copies of my handout if anyone didn't get one I'm going to try to make this quick five minutes is a long time I sit here and I hear Scott talk about all these studies and I tell you Scott from where I come from we cringe when we hear these studies and all those things and there's a lot of potential but achieving that potential is a whole other ballgame and there's no question about it that we could do it but it's not an easy task and most of my companies when they hear these things these are the people out there trying to drill holes in the ground and put power online and it takes a lot of work but we've seen a lot of progress geothermal energy is a small energy technology compared to everybody else we're pretty well known we're the largest renewable power source in California we're about 50% of the quote renewable power as the state classifies it in the state of California and as you can see from these charts we're growing I think most dramatic of these is page three which shows where we've come in just a few years in 2005 we had geothermal power producing in four states and I was in meetings where people would say gee will we ever get the five or six today we've got power online in nine states we have projects under development 15 so we've gone from four states to 15 states with geothermal power under development in five, six years that's a huge leap for any industry to take and part of it is new technology part of it is people learning to use different types of applications some of this isn't conventional utility scale application it's smaller applications on distributed side small lower temperature power units some of its attempts to produce power from hot water coming up from oil and gas wells but we're learning to use the heat of the earth in many different ways that's what we're seeing is happening and what's really propelled that in the United States is state renewable portfolio standards but not entirely you see some of these states for example Idaho is not an RPS state but also federal tax credits the 2005 energy bill I think everyone the landmark energy bill from the industry side because it included the tax credits across the board everyone was treated roughly the same and that really led to a growth in every single renewable technology since then now what that did and why that was important because it affected the important person I mean people look at consumer cost and they say gee you're a consumer cost for geothermal is pretty good but it's not the consumer that builds the power plant it's the investor that builds the power plant most every renewable is investment heavy as you know income tax systems by their nature tend to tax investment more than expenditures so for example when a natural gas power company spends two thirds of its investment buying natural gas it doesn't reiterate a return on that it doesn't put that in its tax form as income that it then has to pay taxes on so that's why there have been several studies and in fact they're both conservative and liberal groups and they do have corporate taxes right now in this country are tilted towards expenditure and not investment and one footnote here if you want to talk about tax reform I think we've got to be looking at some very systematic changes if we want to propel investment in these new technologies but quickly let me back to my real tech we're seeing the same growth worldwide we're seeing major new markets opening up in East Africa South and Central America Europe Europe geothermal projects small geothermal projects under development and that's not the traditional ring of fire and the reason they're doing it is they see a growing market around the world the same as the Chinese the Chinese invested more money last year in renewable energy technology than the United States did in the entire stimulus package they see a big market and American companies right now in geothermal are a world leader the Department of Commerce listed us as one of only two renewable technologies where US firms currently have the lead and we import twice as much as we import in this area but that's changing and it's a world competition and that's the other I guess take away I would have US markets important but we have to set US policy in the context of this growing world race that we're seeing for technologies across the board clean energy technologies whether you're talking about the Europeans the Japanese the Chinese the Indians is where everybody's looking and saying this is where we're going that's where we're seeing dramatic growth worldwide more than companies who do geothermal business in the United States work in the international market as well and that's how we have to look at policies and we need to have a real sustained initiative to say we want to build these things here we want to see them manufactured here and we want to be the leader in the world in these technologies across the board that's the kind of policy we need and really the 2005 energy bill was sort of the starting point but we need something now to continue on because a lot of those initiatives are beginning to trickle out and reach their point where so thank you we take a moment then to pass out my hand out I was feeling a little left out so we went and got some so good morning everyone I'm Susan from the EPA and I wanted to talk a little bit about what we're doing to try to provide incentives and encouragement to energy efficiency and renewable energy and so I'm going to highlight some of our program activities and bring you up to speed on some programs that we have had for some time and are getting great results but just to remind you that we're still getting great results the Energy Star program is not just about products it's about buildings it's about industry it's about homes we have an 80% consumer awareness level we do market research and have learned that and it's grown steadily over the years but we have 80% penetration since 2000 we have 3.5 billion qualified products sold in the United States we have nearly 1.2 million homes that have been Energy Star qualified and over 200,000 commercial buildings as 25% of US buildings have used the Energy Star portfolio manager benchmarking tools so we feel that we've been able to use this platform over the history of the program to really build an awareness and a commitment to energy efficiency and I'll just touch upon a few of the recent developments that have happened in the program on the product side we initiated a third party certification program this year which is now up and running and we have over 10,000 products that have already gone through the qualification process so that's a new development we've also increased the frequency of the update of our specifications so we're trying to raise the bar even higher at a faster clip for these products to ensure that just the most efficient or the top efficient products are going to be sold with the Energy Star mark and speaking of most efficient we've actually introduced a new element to the program this year as a pilot it's called most efficient and what we're trying to do is really recognize the best of the best and this is going to be not so much on a label but when you go to a store you'll see a sign that says most efficient for 2011 and so we're working in a few of our product categories like computers and lamps and dehumidifiers moving on to our commercial side about the buildings that are being benchmarked we also have 14,000 buildings that have earned the Energy Star label and we have 150 organizations that have been recognized for improving their efficiency portfolio wide so we don't just go building by building we want to work with those real estate management companies that have a lot of buildings and so we can have a broader impact we also introduced something called the national building competition last year where we had buildings compete against each other similar to a popular TV show where people are trying to lose weight and compete against each other and so we had 14 buildings go through the competition and the top reducer saved about 36% and the other three top finishers decreased their energy use by 30% so this is a remarkable achievement in just a very short amount of time but what we found is when they really did look at their energy use and look at opportunities in a very focused way that they were able to make improvements we also have seen the use of our tool being adopted by local communities to mandate energy building disclosure so the city of New York Seattle Washington recently have instituted mandates so that buildings are now disclosing their energy use so that when you buy a building you know that if you're getting an efficient building or not and so we're trying to facilitate this kind of disclosure through our tool nationwide on our industrial side we have chosen 20 key areas that are of high energy intensity and high greenhouse gases and work with them to develop energy performance indicators so they know that if their plant is among the most efficient or not and they can make improvements so really when they get this information they can help them manage their energy use better and lastly I'll touch upon the Holmes program and similar to the products we're constantly raising the bar in terms of what qualifies as an energy star home and we want to be sure that they go above code and above standard practice so that when people buy these homes they're really getting what they're paying for. We also recognize that the department of energy had some ongoing activities that were somewhat similar to ours and so a decision was made to transition one of our program elements called home performance with energy star to department of energy so that's happening this year and we'll be consolidating the resources there which I think makes a lot of sense in this day and age. So that's the energy star program it's our biggest climate change and energy efficiency program. We also promote combined heat and power we have a partnership that really tries to drive this very efficient supply side efficiency technology and we have over 400 partners and we've helped develop over 100 megawatts of CHP systems nationwide. And lastly I'll just mention our renewable energy promotion program it's called the green power partnership and our partners are 1300 plus partners are motivated by a desire to reduce their carbon footprint and so they are able to choose one of several strategies to promote low impact renewable energy and our partners are buying more than 18 billion kilowatt hours of green power and that's equal to the amount of CO2 that would come from more than 1.6 million homes. So a small relatively small amount but we think has made quite a few inroads into advancing renewable energy and our partners range from auto body shops to pizza parlors to fortune 500 companies and universities. So real quick that was just an overview what we're up to at the EPA on these energy efficiency and renewable energy programs. If you'd like to know more we have a booth in the exhibit hall next door and I really appreciate your attention. Thanks. I'd like to thank our speakers very very much and please feel free to follow up with any of them.


from Germany made in China according to Adrian. I believe it is a six pin. Yes, six pin. I've got drill protection and everything. And I've got this go-so pick probably also made in China but it's not Germanese because it doesn't claim to be German. So I haven't done a review on these picks yet because I haven't made up my mind whether I like them or not. I think they need a little bit of work in terms of sanding and polishing and adjusting sizes. The steel seems alright although it's pretty darned thick so it's a little hard to judge. The problem I'm having right now is that the edges are not tapered properly or beveled chamfered. I've got binding but no counter rotation so I'm going to call that pin set and there we are. Oh but two minutes not bad. So this was a go-so locksmith tool. There's the pick for you. It's a bazie or bazie.  Cylinder. There you go. Now when I talked about this earlier I thought I said it was a dog but it appears to be an elephant on there. It's pretty loosey-goosey inside there. Interestingly it does have a drill pin or an anti-drill pin in the front and it has I doubt it came like this. I think someone has gone in and drilled and tapped it for these little grub screws so you can swap the pins around. So it's kind of neat. It came with a bunch of extra pins so maybe I'll try that. Anyway there's the key-bidding. So sort of here low low high and super low high high. Let me see if this shows up on the camera here. If you look right here and again right here these cuts are so deep that the drill bit or the whatever drilling milling process they used actually to form the brass at the bottom a little bit. So that's probably I don't know 20 thousandths or something crazy like that of metal maybe left underneath of there. So I'm lucky that my pick was able to slide in there without over-setting those too. So kind of interesting. Or it's just really crappy material and deformities. It could be either one of these guys. Anyway that's it. Bazzy six pin Euro cylinder. Former Euro cylinder. It's been slightly modified. SPP'd. And there you go. So this is Alex. Thanks for watching.
