Author Kenny Luck: Helping Every Young Man to Be God's Man
- Laura MacCorkle Senior Entertainment Editor
- 2005 18 Jun
EDITOR'S NOTE: Some of the following subject matter discussed in this interivew may not be suitable for young children. Parents, please use your discretion.
About a month ago, I had the opportunity to meet up with author, speaker, teacher and football fanatic Kenny Luck during his book tour in a dark and vibey Italian restaurant called Campisi's in Dallas, Tex.
The landmark establishment is also known as "The Egyptian," given the fact that there's a second sign – left by a former tenant years ago and still hanging outside today – that reads "The Egyptian." Quirky and perhaps confusing. Some folks even think the restaurant is run by local mafia. Me, I just think it has great pizza and a good atmosphere.
Along with his media reps, Kenny and I discussed his latest book and the movement he envisions taking place in the hearts and minds of young men in this generation, as they are challenged to live radically as men of God.
Not long after that, we talked in greater detail via phone, when Kenny had returned to his home in Trabuco Canyon, California, where he is the president and founder of Every Man Ministries, and the area leader over men's ministry and a member of the teaching staff of Saddleback Church, as well as the author of the recently released "Every Young Man, God's Man" (WaterBrook Press).
In this 200+ page young men's guide to living "life the way Jesus did … to the extreme," Kenny considers no subject taboo and gives his own testimony (warts and all) to further connect with his young readers. Chapters discuss struggles many young men are facing today, including masturbation, Internet pornography, fantasizing about women, lies and secrets, shirking from responsibility and much more.
As I asked him more about his book, I thoroughly enjoyed hearing Kenny's heart to reach young men so that they will impact our culture for Christ. Listen in. …
Laura: Kenny, in your latest book, "Every Young Man, God's Man," you talk about the "Man Zone." What is that and what happens there?
Kenny: The idea is that if you're 17, 18, 19, 20 … if you're leaving your house, leaving for college, or entering the workforce, then you have a man-sized body with man-sized issues, man-sized responsibilities and man-sized consequences. But what we see multiplied by millions of young men is that they're going into the Man Zone with boy-sized character, which means that up until this point it's all been about fun.
We can't allow young men to go into manhood without the right thinking about God, people, consequences to action, responsibilities, etc. We're doing a disservice to them. We're setting them up for failure in that critical window of time which will shape the next 30 years of their life. The reality of the Man Zone working out in my own ministry today is that forty and fifty year olds say to me: "Where were you when I was 18 to 25? If I had heard you then, the last three decades of my life would have looked a lot different. No one ever gave me that talk. But if they did, I would have chosen the narrow road because I don't want pain."
So, the Man Zone is giving young men a very clear picture of what the next phase in their life is going to look like and stories of people who did it right vs. people who did it wrong.
Laura: It seems like authenticity is the first step to getting in the Man Zone. Why is that so hard – yet beneficial – for young men to do?
Kenny: No one wants to expose their struggles. Men, in particular, since we're so competitive we don't want to appear weak. It's masculine culture. There's spiritual warfare around a young man. The devil loves for a young man to keep a secret about a struggle. Secrets keep this young man isolated and unknown. He becomes worse in his character – not better -- the longer he keeps a secret. A sick character leads to sick conduct and sin which leads to broken relationships with God and people.
Confession is not taught. We have to confess to God and to other people. If you want emotional healing, that has to be in there. That's difficult for men because we're not wired that way. So we have to discipline ourselves to do it. Anytime you have to discipline yourself to be honest with other people, it's a huge risk culturally, personally because there's shame involved in confession. Especially on the sexual issue – there's huge shame for a young man to say, "You know what? I'm really struggling with masturbation. They'll think I'm a freak, think I'm weird." But the reality is … 100 percent of the room is struggling with that.
Probably most of these young men have never experienced supportive community which is what they should be experiencing in their band of brothers. So that's why ["Every Young Man, God's Man"] is a movement book. You're going to get tons of youth groups with boys dealing with this stuff.
Laura: You talk about "baptizing your brain" and "you are what you think." What do you mean?
Kenny: When you are responding to God in fear – and the message in fear is "I know my needs better" – then you have the wrong view of fear in God. It all starts with the right view of God. If [young men] know Him and if they realize how committed Jesus is to them … when they see how great He is and that He also loves you and has your best interests in mind … well, when you get those two things in your mind, you get a lot softer.
If I can't rescue a kid, his heart is hard or he's so wounded that he has to go after indulging himself, impressing others and chasing toys or making money, then I'm praying for that young man that his world will be rocked early. The fact of the matter is that most men, particularly in their thirties and forties are in this groove of "I'm a Christian, but functionally I'm a materialist" or "I'm a Christian, but functionally I'm a hedonist" or "functionally I'm a narcissist 'cause I'm insecure and wounded and I don't even understand myself and why I do what I do." Their fear is this: "If I give myself fully to God, then my needs won't be met. I won't be having sex or I won't experience intimacy or I won't get the nice car or I won't get the promotion, etc."
But then when they chase those things and it gobbles them up and it "pimps" them – and the world and the devil and their own flesh use and abuse them – then they're like, "Man, this program that I thought was all that hasn't got me anywhere."
And so you confront the self-trickery and lies and you give them a right view of God while confronting some of the deeper issues of wearing masks, the need for love and intimacy and then share with them the truth of who God is, how awesome He is, how great a plan He has for them, etc. Then, you illustrate how that plan works out in the lives of people for the good.
Laura: The concepts and principles in your book are great. But after reading through it, I couldn't help but wonder, "Shouldn't these things be taught in the home by dads?"
Kenny: No doubt! This book should be about a father and a son. It's not about going back to retrofit a relationship between a dad and his son. However, that's the optimal situation. When a dad is owning his spiritual life (and modeling it), marriage, family life, spending time with his kid, talking, etc., then it's just like Deuteronomy 6. If you read Deut. 6, it's aimed at a dad. It says to pass on the spiritual part to your children and when your son asks you what are the meanings of these decrees, the dad is supposed to give a testimony of his relationship with God and how God delivered him from Egypt and so forth.
The reality is that most kids, most young men, do not have that optimal father/son relationship. A rare fraction of one percent of young men have a dad who loves God, a dad who loves mom and spends time with his kids and is the spiritual leader of the family, and has modeled a relationship with God and passed that on successfully.
So what we're doing here, well, it's like you're calling out a barbarian. You're calling out a generation of people despite their losses. You're tapping into the pain issues that those losses in the home have created. The losses in a young man's life make him who he is. If he has a dysfunctional family or a fragmented or a disconnected family, he's probably on a desperate search for acceptance and a search for love. So what you have to do is meet that kid where he's at.
Laura: Do you find that at your different speaking engagements that young men respond to the way you communicate with them?
Kenny: Oh my goodness! They never thought someone could get into their dark spaces and walk out with them with their heads held high. Jesus said "hungry … feed" and "naked … clothe." When you go to talk with young men, you've got to get into their pain issues. When they see someone who's credible, walking into those spaces with them, and not embarrassing them, but challenging them with a desire to be more … they're like "Yeah! I want to be more." I'm just tapping those core desires that are in all men – to risk, to live life to the extreme to be on the good side and fight to really fly high.
I'm not THAT great of a communicator, but I do know how – because of my own life – I have fought every battle I talk about. You've got to know your audience. A lot of times, men's ministers – they have great content, but they haven't lived it out in community with other men. But I'm a men's pastor. I'm in there every week. I respond to every person who writes me an e-mail. I get in these dialogues with Christian college professors who are acting out and they don't know what to do; they're living a double life. And then down to the 15-year-old who says he hasn't masturbated in two weeks, and he's so happy.
Laura: What do you hope to see happen as a result of a book like this – that challenges young men to be God's men?
Kenny: I see a movement of millions of young men who courageously embrace their identity and the responsibilities, values and decisions that go with that identity. We'll change the world. Change the world. I hope to change male views of culture.
I hope to turn it on its head, because the Kingdom is missing a generation of men, of warriors, who are not in the great battle and George Barna empirically proved it in the church in his study (March 2000 – "Women Are the Backbone of the Christian Congregation in America") and so our marriages suffer, our families suffer, our cities suffer.
In particular, this is a huge issue for people of color. And they know it. It resonates in all cultures, but it resonates very deeply in the African American community. When you have three generations of men in urban centers in prison, you know that no one trained them to be men.
Laura: What would you say is the best way to go through the book and the accompanying workbook? Is it better do to this in a group setting or by yourself or does it really matter?
Kenny: It's ten times more impactful if you can do it in community. You can have great content, and you can even do it in community, but if you don't have accountability and encouragement then there's going to be less transformation. You have to have all three: content, community, accountability/encouragement.
If there was a 17-year-old who went through this by himself, that's okay because he'd learn some good stuff. But if he went through it with a group of other young men, then that would be even better because then there'd be some dialogue. But then if he went through the content with some young men and there was dialogue and he had an accountability partner going through the module where they called each other every day to check in and see how things were going, then that guy's life will be different. He'll be transformed tremendously.
Laura: Kenny, in closing, would you pray on behalf of young men who may be reading this article right now or for moms or dads who may have sons who are struggling with different issues?
Kenny: Father, I'm reminded of myself in my room when I was 17 and how desperately I wanted to know not only who I was, but who you were, and I cried out to you to both know you and see you. And you met me, and I've never been the same and I found a Father who loves me, gives me advice, shows me the way, gives me a great example and I'm truly grateful.
I know that there are both parents and young men out there who are struggling to know You and experience Your purpose and plan for their lives. And I ask that by the power of Your Holy Spirit that You would reveal to both parents and young men Your purpose for their lives. For fathers to be God's men and to give that away to their sons. For young men to leave childish ways behind to embrace their future as a man to not just pursue fun but to also pursue their faith aggressively, so that the next 30 to 40 years of their life will be different and lived for You.
So I pray that You would strengthen fathers, young men to be God's men and that they would live out that identity through their choices and all their relationships and advance Your Kingdom powerfully in this generation. In Jesus' name, Amen.

It's hard not to think the new Honda Insight hybrid and the Toyota Prius look like kissing cousins. But, while both are five-door hatches sharing similar profiles, cut lines and green-tinged halos... they've got vastly different designs. Below the jump, we've detailed seven of the literally tens of differences between the two happy hybrids. And yes, we're even including the big "H" on the front of the 2010 Honda Insight.
Difference #1: Instead of going with the stylized T, as on the Prius, the new Insight has a very defined H above the grille. This is a difference of 11 letter positions in the alphabet and a sign that Honda is the true Maverick in this race. Difference #2: The Toyota Prius is very noticeable from the rear because of its squarer clear taillights housing red LED lights. The engineers from Honda have focused on a more angular look for their clear taillights with red LED lights. Difference #3: Honda stepped out with some fairly trick split five-spoke wheels that look much hotter than the boring seven-spoke Prius design. We're not sure if these will make it from concept to reality. Difference #4: The Prius has been faulted for its bland nose and utilitarian look, which Honda has countered with a more Honda CRZ-inspired front; it's more dramatic, modern and captivating in its vanilla quasi-Dave look. The design makes the new Insight look like a more expensive car than the Prius. Difference #5: Toyota engineers love boxes and Honda deviated wildly from this path by introducing a round fuel access cover. That's change you can not only believe in, but it's change that signals the outside-the-box thinking you've come to expect from Honda. Difference #6: As opposed to headlights that wrap upwards from a sharply curving grille, the Insight's lights curve outward from a sharply curving grille. It's so different — like apples and pears. Difference #7: One of the features that differentiates the Prius from other cars on the road, visually, is that little window behind the A-pillar and ahead of the mirrors. The low belt-line of both of these cars necessitates such a move but Honda hides it, using a cheater panel aft of the mirror and a supporting strip behind the mirror. It's a smart design change that'll really help separate it from the crowd. So there you have it — two totally different vehicles. No matter what your eyes tell you.

|This is the article on the Shinobazu member. For the Land of Birds daimyō, head to Toki.
|土岐 Toki
|Naruto Episode #209
|Appears in
|Voice Actors
Toki (土岐, Toki) was a member of Shinobazu.
Toki happens to be rather arrogant and is prone to making jokes while in combat.[1] He, however, is very strategic, managing to lure his bait into a large crater. It is presumed that he has some knowledge in geography, considering he created a man-made canal with his drilling device that caused a current.
Toki has a short crop of brown spiky hair and small black eyes, and wears a white-clothed headband. The drilling device he uses to perform his Crimson Earth technique is located on his right arm. Aside from this, he wears a green, arm less robe with a yellow line coming down from the black collar.
Toki utilises a drill-like device when it comes to fighting. Using strategical attacks throughout the earth, he can fatally injure anyone unfortunate enough to get in the way of his device. Using the Crimson Earth, he can effortlessly create craters and holes in the earth with destructive impact.
Part I
Gantetsu Escort Mission
Toki is first shown creating a man-made canal in order to form a current. This action was in conjunction with Monju's Murderous Grasp technique, where as Gantetsu's captivity was split in two, and later separated. The act separated Naruto Uzumaki, Gantetsu, and Todoroki from Sakura Haruno, Rock Lee, and the other guards that were saved from the shipwreck.[2] A day after the failed attempt in capturing Gantetsu, Toki personally went in for the kill; luring the three into a trap, only to crush them with his drilling device. Unfortunately for him, Toki had destroyed shadow clones under the Transformation Technique. Toki and Naruto begin to battle, however, the results ended up against Toki's favour, resulting in his death to a rock slide created by a Rasengan.
- "Toki" (時) means "time".

Pizza Obsessives: Michael "Imwalkin" Rolli
Slice interviews with folks who are mad about pizza.
You know him better as Imwalkin, a regular contributor to My Pie Monday with over 2 dozen submissions! Come along as we get better acquainted with the DIY pizza man, Mr. Michael Rolli, through a little Pizza Obsessives Q&A.—MS
Name: Michael Rolli
Location: Leeds, AL near Birmingham
Occupation: Had a 40 plus year career with Dupont, now retired
URL(s): seriouseats.com/Imwalkin
What type of pizza do you prefer?
Homemade—any style—but my personal favorite is tomato pie.
The Pizza Cognition Theory states that "the first slice of pizza a child sees and tastes ... becomes, for him, pizza." Do you remember your first slice? Where was it from, is the place still around, and if so, does it hold up? On that note, has your taste in pizza evolved over time?
I totally buy into The Theory. My first was tomato pie made in my grandmother's house. It was kind of a cross between what Hawk Krall wants to call "Philly Tomato Pie" and "grandma" style. I say "kind of like" because the sauce was like tomato pie, but the dough itself was not pillowy, but very thin, except on the edges, with that cracker like texture of pies in Italy. We sometimes had fresh anchovies chopped up into the sauce, but there were no "toppings" other than the lightest dusting of aged Pecorino. This is still my favorite pie to make and to eat! My taste in pizza has certainly broadened over my lifetime. I had the opportunity to travel to all 50 states and 23 countries during my career providing exposure to a huge variety of styles and quality.
It sounds like you might have pizza in your blood. Where was your grandmother from?
Yes, we are Italian. My grandmother was from Teramo in the region of Abruzzo.
What's your favorite topping or topping combination?
My very, very favorite is none, a la tomato pie, but I also really enjoy Italian sausage and onion over a mix of fior di latte and aged dry mozzarella, and quattro formaggio made with fior di latte, talleggio, shaved Pecorino and Parmigiano Reggiano. But then my wife and I have really started to enjoy versions of Chris Bianco's "Rosa". Our favorite is with Humboldt Fog goat cheese, red onion, Aleppo pepper, rosemary and pistachios. And I forgot pepperoni (either Boars Head or Vermont Smoke) with pickled peppers over aged dry mozzarella. I blame that one on Kenji all the way. I never even really liked pepperoni, but I started reading his blogs and seeing photos with those damn peppers, and next thing you know all this pepperoni found it's way into my house (where it is not even allowed)! Picking your favorite pizza is like someone asking you "which would you like, this one or that?". I always want to answer "yes".
Ha. Me too! Where do you go for pizza in your area?
My kitchen.
Is that because there is a dearth of restaurant pizza in Birmingham that could rival your own pies?
Actually there are a couple of decent places now for pizza in Birmingham. Area 41 Pizza in the suburb of Mt. Laruel has very good NY Style, and Bottega in downtown has decent pies from their WFO. Making your own is so much more satisfying!
That segues nicely into our next question. What are your go-to pizza recipes and methods?
Most of the time I make Kenji's NY dough, except I use Caputo 00 red bag, because I have to bake in electric ovens. Sometimes I make a Neopolitan-American dough I've used for about 30 years, but only when I'm baking on the gas grill. That's also the dough I use for tomato pie.
You started making pizza over 30 years ago!? You've got more than a few notches in your peel. How did you get started making pizza?
It was self-defense! Traveling and moving around the country, I rarely could find good pizza, or any Italian food, remotely like what we had at home. So I decided to make my own.
What or who has been the greatest resource in your pizza making?
My grandmother remains my greatest inspiration for all things food related. When I first started making dough for tomato pie, a friend whose family ran an Italian bakery was a huge help in understanding how good dough should feel. About 15 years ago, we started to see pizza specific articles in major food magazines. Then authors, including SE's own Ed Levine (yes, I bought the book), came out with entire books about pizza. This is when I began to realize that making Ny style or Neapolitan-American at home was possible. Today, we can find tons of information on the internet. I especially enjoy SE and Slice because of the diversity in the blogs and the passion of the community. The willingness of community members to share their successes (and failures) is a huge help to anyone starting out.
You mentioned earlier that making your own pizza is more satisfying. Why is that?
For three reasons; first, because of the joy of doing something you love. I completely lose myself in the process and it frees me from everything else that may be going on. Secondly, because I can control the quality of what goes into what my family will eat. Also, because I have some health related food restrictions. And finally, the satisfaction of seeing others enjoy the food you prepare.
What equipment do you use to make your pizza?
To make dough I use only a mixing bowl, a dough whisk, and my hands. To bake I use 1/4 inch Baking Steel, 5/8 inch Cordelite stone, or 3/8 inch Emile Henry stone, or Lodge cast Iron. I bake indoors in electric wall oven without convection. Outdoors, I use a gas grill.
What do your family and/or friends think of your pizza madness?
They probably just think it's another facet of my quirky persona to endure, unless there's fresh hot pies to be had, then they love it!
And what would you say should NEVER go on a pizza?
Mayo! It should never go on anything so as never to pass my lips. I would prefer it not cross into my eyesight.
Even though I like mayo, I have to agree with you that it should not go on pizza. Most unusual pizza you've ever eaten?
The most unusual pizza I tried to eat and couldn't was in the Narita International airport outside Tokyo. It had many, many toppings; none of which you ever expect to see on pizza: carrots, nori (seaweed), sliced hard boiled eggs, octopus, sea urchin, red bean paste (instead of tomato sauce), mayo (because they don't eat cheese and they thought something white was needed) and a host of other unseemly items. This one won "the worst pizza ever award"; in fact that award has been retired.
OH NO! Not the dreaded mayo!That's a world away in terms of the tomato pie you love. What's the farthest you've traveled for pizza?
About 3200 miles, from San Diego to Philadelphia, riding in the backseat of an F-4 Phantom fighter jet. It was a birthday surprise for me from my fellow Marines following a long convalescence. We hauled 12 cases of Coors beer, which was not available outside the West at that time, to Philadelphia in exchange for 25 loaded pizzas. The pizzas were wrapped in space blankets for the rocket ride back to San Diego. On arrival, we re-heated the pies in the gas ovens at the Naval Hospital and then took them around to all the wounded Marines. That was the first pizza I had eaten in about a year and a half—and it was sweet!!
I gotta know where pizza worthy of a F-4 Phantom ride resides.
The pizzas came from Wilmington, DE, where I grew up, but I think don't think those places are still around.
That's too bad. Anything you'd like to get off your chest?
I choose to see this question as I get three wishes:
I wish more people would realize how easy it is to cook, how inexpensive it can be, and how much healthier it is. That goes triple for pizza!
I wish Slice would help people realize the above through stories about home cooks and their techniques
I wish more blogs were as useful and entertaining as Serious Eats.
Here here! One more wish: Who would *you* like to see interviewed next?
Andris, the guy from Baking Steel. Not to promote his project, but he bakes his own pies and seems an interesting character that I'd like to know more about.
Oh, that would make an interesting interview. I like your thinkin'. Thanks so much for taking a turn in the hot seat. It has been great to learn more about you and your love for pizza. Can't wait to see what comes off your steel next!

Your guide to the best ballet, dance shows and events in London
Latest dance shows
What's on at
Sadler's Wells
Purpose-built in 1998 on the site of the original seventeenth-century theatre of the same name, this dazzling complex is home to an impressive line-up of local and international dance talent. While remaining accessible in its programme, Sadler's Wells puts on strong, often critically acclaimed, shows that cover tango, flamenco (watch out for the annual Flamenco Festival), hip hop, classical and contemporary ballet as well as Matthew Bourne's special brand of populist dance. The Angel venue's name dates back to the 1680s when the theatre discovered a medicinal well whose water was said to have health-giving properties. You can still look down the well today, though the days of taking a quick dip before a show are long gone. In addition to the main theatre, the smaller Lilian Baylis Studio offers smaller-scale new works and works in progress, while the Peacock Theatre (on Portugal Street in Holborn) operates as a satellite venue.
Royal Opera House
Having secured its position as one of the world's great opera houses following a turn-of-the-century refurbishment, the Royal Opera House has been able to conduct something of a PR campaign: in a bold move to woo new audiences, the opening performance of 2008's 'Don Giovanni' was made exclusive to Sun readers at knockdown rates and beamed live to a chain of cinemas, and the Ignite Festival draws punters in with a terrific range of art installations, films and performances. Opera, of course is still the main attraction, but ballet too has become a parallel draw and the ROH is also home to The Royal Ballet. The company's own Carlos Acosta can be seen bounding across stage, and the Royal Opera House regularly invites visiting companies such as The Bolshoi. Meanwhile the venue's smaller spaces – Linbury Studio Theatre and Clore Studio – offer a line-up of experimental and independent dance and music works. The Royal Opera House is a Grade I-listed building, and with its beautiful modern additions it is a striking Covent Garden landmark. Book in advance for a behind-the-scenes tour.
London Coliseum
The Coliseum's 2,359-seat auditorium, built as a grand music hall in 1904 by the renowned architect Frank Matcham, was restored to its former glory in 2004 as part of an £80 million restoration. Residents English National Opera (ENO) and English National Ballet perform under artistic director John Berry and the programme veers from populist to highbrow. Unlike at the Royal Opera House, all works here are performed in English.
Peacock Theatre
Peacock is Sadler's Wells's satellite venue designed to appeal to a West End punter. As such, you can expect the programme to lean towards populist dance theatre from the likes of fluoro/UV dance company Momix and Miguel Angel Zotto's Tango por Dos. Just don't wander in while the sun is still up: by night, the Peacock auditorium may play host to dance spectaculars, but by day the space becomes a lecture hall for the London School of Economics who owns the building.
The Place
A beautiful glass-fronted building, The Place lifts an otherwise barren spot just off Euston Road. Inside you'll find a clean modern space catering for both dance students (as young as five) and visitors to the excellent Robin Howard Dance Theatre. The large studio has 300 seats raked to a stage 15m by 12m and affording a truly electrifying visual experience. It's the perfect host to the annual 'Resolution!' season that acts as a platform for fresh contemporary choreography.

An iphone purse to make life slightly easier for you
It's a small clutch purse that holds your iPhone and a few essentials. It just got funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign.
Jenn Deese and her partner Kelley Coughlan started Pursecase to make a product that would hold their iPhone, a few essentials, and more importantly, not get lost. They knew they wanted it to have a pocket for a credit card or ID, as well as a place to hold a key.
Speck and other companies make phone cases that have room for a credit card, but it's the Pursecase design with the chain handle and built-in mirror compact that sets it apart. That and the available colors; black, pink, purple, white, teal and neon yellow. The yellow actually glows in the dark.
The big benefit is you don't actually have to take your phone out of the purse in order to make a call or take a picture. The back side of the purse is open so you have full phone functionality.
The purse is made of silicon, something Deese says was a bit of a challenge. They had to come up with a clasp that allowed the flap to open and close easily, as well as lay flat.
The pursecase is being made for iPhone 4/4S or iPhone 5 and can be pre-ordered on their site for $38. The funding will allow them to make molds for the Samsung Galaxy and other smartphone and tablet models, so Deese says there are more to come.

These Popular Mechanics plans are for a wooden crossbow.
This repeating crossbow has all the
handling characteristics of a fine repeating
rifle of the slide-action type. In the hands of an
experienced crossbowman it will deliver five
shots in five seconds with near-rifle accuracy
over ranges up to 40 yards.
The steel-pointed
arrows, or quarrels, as they are correctly called,
are loaded from the top into a magazine just as
are the cartridges in a bolt-action rifle. After
loading, the bow is cocked by a slide, and the
quarrel is fired by pressing a trigger which releases
the bowstring.
Special thanks to our contributors - we now have the full plans.

Predictive text experts WordLogic launch new solution for businesses
WordLogic for Business boosts accuracy and productivity for enterprises, works across multiple devices and platforms
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA – 31 January 2013 – WordLogic Corporation (OTCQB:WLGC), the predictive intelligence technology company that creates patented solutions for mobiles, tablets and desktops, today released its new predictive text solution, WordLogic for Business, allowing organizations to improve productivity through accurate, faster and more consistent text entry across the workforce. WordLogic for Business is built on WordLogic's patented predictive text technology, delivering a powerful software solution which can scale across hundreds of touchscreen and conventional keyboard-based devices. WordLogic for Business also gives organizations the ability to customize language, terminology as well as the user interface to suit multiple business scenarios.
WordLogic for Business is aimed at companies of every size, from multinationals to small and medium-sized businesses. At its heart is a series of customizable dictionaries stored in the Cloud which can house millions of complex industry or company-specific words and phrases. These dictionaries can be centrally managed and updated with new words, terminology and phrases specific to a company or industry sector – such as Healthcare, Utilities and Legal. Multiple dictionaries can also be accessed by one device. This level of flexibility means that companies using WordLogic for Business can create versions tailored to their precise language needs.
WordLogic for Business is optimized to run on Android tablets and smartphones as well as desktop PCs. It can also be used with custom touchscreen devices, such as touchscreen PDAs used by couriers and delivery companies. WordLogic for Business automatically syncs across all devices currently in use and delivers a consistent, high-quality experience for the end-user, irrespective of the device or platform they are using. Companies seeking to adopt predictive text can build WordLogic for Business into their existing IT infrastructure using WordLogic's simple SDK.
WordLogic's range of solutions are built upon a number of recognized international patents. Unlike rival solutions that can only predict single words, WordLogic's patented WordChunking™ technology predicts letters, words and entire phrases, and continuously learns new ones. Its patented Gesturing™ technology also lets workers enter words and phrases on their devices at high speed and with full accuracy, simply with small movements of their fingers. This boosts workers' productivity, which in turn saves businesses time and money.
"Through our continuing work with our customers we've become acutely aware of the varying demands of different vertical sectors and their specific language and terminology. These are issues which are impeding the wholesale adoption of touchscreen devices in the enterprise," said WordLogic CTO Mark Dostie. "A legal professional uses a completely different vocabulary of words and phrases compared to a doctor, so there's no place for a 'one size fits all' approach.
WordLogic's sophisticated predictive Artificial Intelligence and cloud-based, customizable dictionary system is flexible enough to accommodate the individual language requirements of all of these industries. This allows workers to quickly and accurately input mission-critical information and updates and frees them up to focus on other important tasks."
WordLogic for Business is available worldwide to businesses of all sizes as either a fully-hosted service from WordLogic or installed and internally hosted on the customer's systems and is available in multiple languages. For more information visit http://www.wordlogic.com/

The fungus Candida is normally found on and in the body in small amounts. It is present on the skin and in the mouth, as well as in the intestinal tract and genital area. Most of the time, Candida does not cause any symptoms. When these organisms overgrow, they can cause infections (candidiasis), which sometimes can become chronic. If the fungus enters the bloodstream, the infection can spread to other parts of the body. Bloodstream infections are most common in newborns, children with long-term intravenous catheters, and children with weakened immune systems caused by illnesses or medicines.
Candidiasis can affect the skin, mucous membranes (eg, mouth, throat), fingernails, eyes, and skin folds of the neck and armpits, as well as the diaper region (eg, vagina, folds of the groin). The oral infection, called thrush, frequently occurs in infants and toddlers. If Candida infections become chronic or occur in the mouth of older children, they may be a sign of an immune deficiency, such as human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. Very low birth weight babies are susceptible to candidiasis as well. Newborns can acquire the infection from their mothers, not only while they're still in the uterus, but also during passage through the vagina during birth. Most of these infections are caused by Candida albicans, a yeast-like fungus, although other species of Candida are sometimes responsible. In some cases, children can develop candidiasis after being treated with antibacterials.
When an infant develops a Candida infection, symptoms can include painful white or yellow patches on the tongue, lips, gums, palate (roof of mouth), and inner cheeks. It can also spread into the esophagus, causing pain when swallowing. Candidiasis can make a diaper rash worse, producing a reddening and sensitivity of the affected area and a raised red border in some cases. Teenaged girls who develop a yeast infection of the vagina and the surrounding area may have symptoms such as itching; pain and redness; a thick, "cheesy" vaginal discharge; and pain when urinating. Infection of the bloodstream occurs in children who are hospitalized or at home with intravenous catheters. A yeast infection often follows antibiotic therapy. Infections occur in children with cancer who are receiving chemotherapy. In these cases, the fungus in the gut gets into the blood system. Once in the blood, the yeast can travel throughout the body, causing infection of the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, brain, and skin. The early signs of infection are fever and blockage of the intravenous catheter.
Your pediatrician will often make the diagnosis by examining your child and her symptoms. Scrapings of Candida lesions inside the mouth or elsewhere can be examined under the microscope for signs of the infection. An ultrasound or CT scan can detect candidal lesions that have developed in the brain, kidney, liver, or spleen. Cultures of the blood or mouth lesions are taken to grow the fungus in the laboratory and identify the type and sensitivity of the yeast.
Antifungal drugs are used to treat candidiasis. Nystatin is often prescribed for children with superficial infections such as oral thrush or a Candida-related diaper rash. The specific medicines given for candidiasis vary, depending on the part of the body where the infection is concentrated. For example:
If candidiasis has spread through the bloodstream to various parts of the body, your pediatrician will usually recommend treatment with an intravenous medicine such as amphotericin B. This medicine causes many side effects, but it is still a reliable medicine for serious, invasive fungal infections.
Once treatment starts, most candidiasis infections get better within about 2 weeks. Recurrences are fairly common. Long-lasting thrush is sometimes related to pacifiers. The infection is much more difficult to treat in children with catheters or weakened immune systems. The catheter usually must be removed or replaced and tests are done to determine whether infection has spread to other parts of the body. Antifungal therapy may need to be given for weeks to months.
To reduce the risk of candidiasis in your baby's diaper area, keep the skin as clean and dry as possible, changing diapers frequently. Fungal infections (thrush or vaginitis) often follow courses of antibacterials. To avoid this, it is important to use antibiotics only when necessary. Oral nystatin and fluconazole are often used to prevent candidiasis in children with weakened immune systems.

The Email and Password field are grayed out. I've tried reinstalling the software and I've rebooted my computer multiple times. I even downloaded the client again.... I need some help to figure this one out. The client was working fine for a long time. This started a few days ago.
Solved! Go to Solution.
I have the same issue since wenesday... Did you get a solution ?
I have the exact same issue since friday where I updated my version 13 to latest build!!!
Nope. Nothin' so far.
Sorry for your problems mate... I'm a paying customer... would kind of annoy me if non-paying users would get help before me ;)
You get annoying messages... My teamviewer don't work at all... a little different issue I think?
Hope to get help sooner than later... I would consider spending my money elsewhere if not :)
Any of you using Hyper-V on the PC's with this problem?
I got so desperate that I tried to find a solution myself.
In my case I tracked it down to an issue with my Hyper-V setup on my notebook (still not sure what exactly... propably somehow the Virtual Switch setup).
If I disable Hyper-V on the PC and reboot then I can suddenly login to the desktop TeamViewer program with my credentials and see all my clients.
After that, I enabled the Hyper-V setup and rebooted again and TeamViewer still works.
Hopefully this helps others in similar situations... and perhaps support can use it as well ;)
I was able to find a work around (which renders the desktop app pointless) is to log in inside a browser, then "Connect" to the computer that I'm on. This will log me into the desktop app so I can then use the app. This started Friday when I got a new computer at work. My old one was running Windows 7, this one is running Win 10.
I tried that as well (also running Windows 10) but it didn't work for me... the 2 fields (username/password) was both greyed and not editable in TeamViewer desktop program!
I confirm that HYPER V seems to be the origin of my troubles...
Uninstalling Hyper V allows me to use Teamviever and log in...
But now if i want to use Hyper V and Teamvier... do not really know how to make them work side-by-side...
I have no idea why this workaround works.
After login both works side by side for me... if I log out of TeamViewer I'm sure I will have to do it all over again... haven't tried but will try to track problem further once I get more time... hopefully in a couple of days... if not support beats me to it ;)
Have a nice day :)
I was actually going to ask the same question. I also am using Hyper-V. I have to use it though, and disabling/removing and re-enabling isn't something I can do on this machine. There are production VMs on it.
I am a paying customer, too. I'm going to find a number and call in to see if we can get this resolved. I had a pretty strong feeling that was the culprit. I had a similar issue with the Microsoft Store and Minecraft of all things. Something to do with the Virtual Switch was making it unable to authenticate to the store while ingame. It also wouldn't let me see purchases within the store that is ingame. They eventually patched it and it's fixed.
Wish me luck.
Do you mean remove it as a Windows Feature, reboot, sign in to TeamViewer then add it back? Will all of my settings for my VMs still be there?
Yep, this worked. I thought about doing it before but I was concerned I'd have to set up all my VMs again. Thanks, @kimenemark!
I can confirm that doing this dance fixes the problem. Truly bizarre...
Hi guys... as promised... I have done some more testing and reported my findings to support.
When I'm running with Hyper-V disabled I have absolutely no issues.
If I start Hyper-V service (and reboot PC) I also have no problems but as soon as I start one of my VM's (they don't start automaticly) I'm not able to use TeamViewer... It just won't log me into my account (desktop program).
As soon as I disable Hyper-V service (and reboot PC) again TeamViewer works again.
So I think my reasoning in one of my earlier posts were right... it's somehow the Hyper-V switch thats the issue.
I have collected info for the support team in the 3 stages so I hope they will be abe to fix the issue.
I also need to give a little extra detail into my experience with this, a week or more after the suggestion to remove the Hyper-V feature and add it back.
On Monday I was going to open a VM to test a script and noticed that all of my VMs were off. This is not normal. After a little bit of investigation I realized that my virtual switch had been wiped. All of my custom virtual networks were gone. Whenever I tried to start my VMs they failed with a pretty ambiguous error. I had to remove all of the network adapters from all of my VMs, remove the Hyper-V feature (two reboots), add it back (two reboots), and uncheck the "Hyper-V Extensible Virtual Switch" option each physical adapter before I could recreate the virtual switches and attach them to the physical adapters. Just a heads up for anyone who tries the "Remove the Hyper-V" suggestion.
Just to be clear, the suggestion did work. I am still able to get into TeamViewer and connect to my clients now, and I have rebooted and still am able to log in. My VMs are up and working. I just didn't know that it was going to do that.
Make sure to plan an outage of at least 45 minutes if you're going to attempt this, more or less depending on the amount of virtual networks and VMs/adapters you have.
Sorry for your troubles regarding my suggestion. I had testet it thoroughly on my own system before I wrote the fix and I had absolutely no problems and still don't when I test (have testet several times to help support). Perhaps your setup is more complicated than mine.
Anyways... when changing anything in a critical production Hyper-V/VM environment it's quite important to take messures to be able to recover from failure.
Hope they fix this soon... I still have problems after I have started a VM so I guess you are lucky on that point... Perhaps I should also try to wipe my switch and recreate?
I don't use or have Hyper V active yet I still cannot sign in
@kimenemark, I didn't mean that to come across as I was upset with you or your solution. You had a solution. It worked. I have to have TeamViewer to do my job every day and I wasn't getting anywhere on my own. I did suspect Hyper-V but I was really nervous about removing the service because I wasn't sure of the ramifications.
I have four different Virtual Switches tied to a 4 port PCI-e NIC. A few of my VMs are on different VLANs. My actual VM environment isn't super critical. Obviously, because I didn't notice for a few days :). I would never have just pulled the trigger as quickly as I did if it were a production or customer environment.
As far as you continuing to have issues, that's weird, too. I was a bit cavalier with my implementation in that I didn't even shut down my VMs when I removed the Hyper-V service :D. I figured that's why I ran into the Virtual switches being deleted and the virtual NICs on each VM having to be removed and reinstalled. Try that :)
Oh, one more thing, All of my virtual NICs are set to not interact with the host OS. I'm not sharing my NIC that use for access to the network on my host computer.
@JamesB007 I didn't have Hyper V activated when I installed TeamViewer, so I enabled it, rebooted, disabled it, rebooted, and now I can sign into the TV app. It makes no sense, but that's what I did to get it to work. I also do not use it.
Then there must be some other sign in issue with TV which is unrelated to Hyper V :-(
@JamesB007 Hyper V is still active but it can't be disabled (very easily) in Win 10 Home.
I was able to find This (USE AT YOUR OWN RISK) this is instructions to disable Hyper V for Win 10 Enterprise so it's untested on the Win 10 Home. I have no idea if it will work or not since I have Win 10 Pro and Enterprise. This was the only answer that I could find that is even close to what you are wanting.
If this doesn't work then maybe try contacting TV (lol, good luck if you're a free user).
Thanks but looks like I'm just out of luck with Team Viewer until if/when they fix this
13.1 still works. its 13.2 that starts having this issue. I run a Server 2016 with MDT vm and Windows 10 pre-release vm at the same time, so I disabled automatic updates for now.
I've experimented with removing the additional virtual ethernet connections, disabling Enhanced Session mode, disabling memory integrity (Win defender virtualization-based security), disabling/re-enabling Hyper-V feature as above (which teamviewer will allow sign in until i start a VM so it likely has something to do with a service Hyper-V is using that the new 13.2 TV version doesn't play well with). and no luck.
This is not a SOLUTION it's a WORKAROUND!!!!
Can someone please remove the "Solved" mark from this thread so devs come back to this issue again?

I would agree, but the story and "solution/workaround" is remarkably similar to my own issue as described in this other thread I recently created.
In my case involving the use of a Win7 HTPC, Windows Media Center (WMC) and "extenders" which are actually Remote Desktop clients that "connecting" to the HTPC through RDP. These extenders are actually RDP client systems making use of WMC running on the HTPC when they are powered on and connect, essentially facilitating WMC on the HTPC via RDP and the GUI of the extender as seen on the screen of the attached HDTV.
Just as with the VM-being-active aspect of this thread seems to be the "culprit" which prevents username and password in the Computers and Contacts window from being usable to log into TeamViewer 13 environment, the exact same symptom occurs for me on my HTPC whenever any of my five WMC extenders are being used (i.e. when an RDP connection is active to the HTPC). As long as an extender is active, the Computers and Contacts window "goes blank", (a) showing none of the already active TeamViewer connections which were initiated prior to a WMC extender active and are actually still running , and (b) having an unusable Computers and Contacts username and password field and SIGNIN button. And as soon as all WMC extender connections are terminated like magic the Computers and Contacts window once again becomes usable, and the username and password areas and SIGNIN button all return to normal functionality and I now can connect to TeamViewer again.
I believe this is a relatively recent "new feature" of some recent TeamViewer version. Until I discovered for myself the relationship between an active WMC extender RDP session to the HTPC as the "giant clue" that caused this to happen, I was simply mystified. But I had discovered that if I re-boot the HTPC I could once again get the normal TeamViewer Computers and Clients functionality working properly, so that's what I would do (as obviously annoying as this was, since a re-boot had to be performed when there was no TV program recording going on at that moment). Of course what was actually happening as a result of the re-boot was that all WMC extender RDP sessions were not active (at least temporarily, until I once again started one or more of them again as I watched TV on my remote HDTV's via WMC and these extender RDP sessions).
But now that I understand the external story (if not why truly TeamViewer is negatively affected by an RDP session being active, to the extent that the Computers and Contacts GUI simply "breaks") I no longer need to re-boot in order to get a newTeamViewer connection active and enabled. I simply need to stop all of my WMC extender RDP session, and then use the once-again-active Computers and Contacts window to establish connection with one of my TeamViewer team PC's. Then I can once again start the WMC extenders, since it is only the Computers and Contacts window which is negatively affected... not the actual already-active TeamViewer connections that might already be running.
I'm having the same problem in linux, runing Ubuntu 18.04.
It actually related to the Hyper-V network adapters, not Hyper V as a whole. Disable the Hyper-V network adapters. Then you can login. Once logged in, you can enable the adapters again.
Update: Complete work around.
For whatever reason, some programs (such as TeamViewer) want to use the Hyper-V Default Switch.

If you are a licensed TeamViewer user, have you also opened an official support ticket with them so that you can communicate your findings? I'm not sure they monitor this forum, so communicating amongst ourselves and passing around solutions or workarounds is great, but not what is really needed. What is really needed is to fix this recent new problem which has appears, to make it go away for real.
I am a free TV user, so I cannot request support from them and can't submit a ticket. We need licensed users to submit tickets.
In my case, as I described earlier above in the thread, it was TV Computers and Contacts window "instantly going blank, prevening login" on my HTPC where TV was running, whenever a Windows Media Center extender connected to my HTPC. This connection is through Remote Desktop Connection (RDP) and the extender actually is a remote RDP client user with the HTPC being the RDP host server.
I suspect in your case of VM, and Hyper V and Hyper-V Network Adapters, I would guess this an exact conceptual equivalent of Windows Media Center (RDP host) and extenders (RDP clients). WMC can support up to five extenders being connected at one time and as long as at least one is still connected the TeamViewer Computers and Contacts window remains unusable. Once the number of connected WMC extenders drops down to zero, the TV window instantly becomes usable for login again and connection to users.
And just as with your Hyper-V story, once RDP-connected extenders are all connected (i.e. activated and in use to watch TV at remote locations around the house), they can remain connected and will work just fine indefinitely even if the Team Viewer Computers and Contacts window is "blank and unusable" for all that same period of time.
This same story with Wndows Media Centers and extenders and Team Viewer behavior in the presence of RDP connections, this has also been reported identically by other users on this Team Viewer Forum who are simply pure users of RDP client/server connections where Team Viewer is running on the RDP server. As soon as an RDP client connects, the Team Viewer connection window goes blank and becomes unusable. Once the RDP client disconnects, the Team Viewer connection window becomes usable again.
I would like to communicate all of this information regarding RDP and its harmful impact on the Team Viewer connection window because of something they've recently changed in Team Viewer, but can't because I'm a free user and can't submit a ticket. Similarly, your similar story about VM and Hyper-V client/server and Hyper-V adapters and its impact on the Team Viewer connection window needs to be reported to them in a ticket.
So, if you are a licensed user... please submit a ticket and provide my RDP-related explanation here as well as your Hyper-V story. If you aren't a license duser, hopefully there is in fact some real licensed user experiencing the same RDP or Hyper-V symptoms, and WILL take the time to submit a ticket to Team Viewer providing both the symptoms as well as what we now know is the "solution" (i.e. our workaround, until they fix the Team Viewer product to not cause this behavior for us).

Fabulous. But I only understand 1-7. I don't know what you're describing in 8.
Is 1-7 one part of the recipe, intended to be followed by pushing the OK button and then going on to 8?
Or is 8 something you then do after 1-7 and before pushing OK, such as pushing the "Settings" button on the dialog in order to check Hyper-V Default Switch which is presumably running as a service on your machine that supports Hyper-V to be selected? And then you push OK on the Settings dialog after checking the Hyper V service and returning to the previous dialog, at which point you now push OK? I, of course, don't currently show Hyper-V on my own machine in that "active services" list available for checking, but then I don't run the product.
Will the Hyper V service already be showing on your machine supporting it as an already active service, or do you have to ADD it? Or does a Hyper-V adapter need to be active at the moment in order for the service to be showing?
Again... please clarify where the OK button (once or twice) is pushed in your above recipe. And what exactly do I do for 8?
I'm trying to adapt this technique to my Windows Media Center extender/RDP story, which I suspect is identical in underlying concept to your Hyper-V story, and the overall issue with how Team Viewer is impacted.
As stated above I'm a licensed Teamviewer user.
I contacted support even before I eventually came up with the workaround (read above) because I couldn't wait (customers needed my help :smileywink:).I sent them several log dumps and exlained my problems and findings in several emails after which they created a ticket.
I have also pointed them to this thread where I told they could find more information from other users.
I have not heard from them in a while though... been too busy!

Tried to adapt this idea to my Windows Media Center / RDP / extender situation, and I'm not successful. Again, I didn't quite follow what you 8 really was asking me to do.
So I went to my HTPC where there actually is a hardware Ceton TV tuner card in it which utilizes a driver based on TCPIP connection to the MAC address in the hardware. In other words the tuner card has an IP address (192.168.1.200) and the driver talks to it using internet protocol.
And when I performed step 6 above I was presented with the following dialog. Note that it actually DOES show a "home networking internet connection" button (which I now assume is what you're referring to in 8) whereas on my earlier PC I had tried this recipe on this extra item didn't show.
But if I select the Ceton hardware item and then check the box for "allow other network users to connect through this computer's internet connection" I get an error message when finally pushing the OK button on the dialog. Cannot be done. Obviously the Ceton hardware and the supporting hardware isn't designed to be "shared" in some way.
So I left the first sharing option un-checked just as it was, with no selected private network connection.
Note that the second option box is grayed out. The second box is pre-checked by default even if ICS (i.e. the first option box) is un-checked. But apparently you can't modify anything for the second option using its SETTINGS button while in this state.
However if the first ICS box is simply checked, without actually trying to select a private connection, then the second option box and its Settings button become un-grayed, allowing you do drill down into what Settings shows.
And when I did that, remarkably there is a Remote Desktop item available for checking.
So I tried simply checking the RDP box and pushing OK, returning me to the first dialog window with both option boxes checked but no private network connection item selected. And when I pushed OK on this combination, again it errored out claiming that I MUST specify a private network connection in order to use internet connection sharing (ICS).
Well, looking closer at the dropdown list items in that private network connection item, at the bottom there is a "local area connection 2", which is completely irrelevant in the current story. I believe this may have come from when I was running my PC through a different router but which is no longer in use. Or, I believe my PC motherboard has a second wired ethernet port that I do not use.
I then simply left the Remote Desktop service box checked and pushed OK in the second dialog, and then un-checked the ICS option box in the primary Sharing dialog (again graying out the items below it). Then I pushed OK. And then trying to connect with my WMC extender sure enough once again the Team Viewer connections window went blank, so obviously I had accomplished ZERO in checking RDP service but not also activating ICS in the first box (because I couldn't).
Bottom line: I can't see exactly what to do, if anything, to overcome the current Team Viewer issue as it applies to RDP. If you're saying things work differently in the VM Hyper-V situation I'm not surprised. They're probably kind of similar to each other but obviously RDP has nothing to do with ICS and checking the first box, whereas the Hyper-V adapter for that situation apparently satisfies whatever is required to enable ICS and overcome the Team Viewer issue.
Nevertheless, I think this is all caused by some change Team Viewer has recently made, and that is a complete disaster for users. It needs to be corrected by the vendor in its software, and not by requiring some change to the user computer setup if even possible (as it doesn't appear to be in my RDP situation).
There have been other posts about this before, but still no fix.
When Hyper-V is enabled in Windows 10 Pro, I am unable to sign into my TeamViewer Account in the desktop app. This NOT is a new issue, been around for at least the last couple of months/weeks - I can't quite nail down when it started, but I'd say late July.
I don't think the Hyper-V feature set within Windows should be preventing TeamViewers functionality - in fac,t it never used to, and I can still connect to remote systems via ID/password. It's just the account/contact list features - crazy.
And before it's suggested - no, I don't want to remove and re-add the Hyper-V features and restart just so I can get my TeamViewer contact list - only to have it logged out and locked out when I use Hyper-V again. That's absurd.
I find is rediculous that there is not whisper of a fix for this, after months and many posts.
I'd love to enable Insider Builds on the off-chance this is fixed, but I can't sign in to enable this!
TeamViewer, please advise us on a fix for this.
Main other thread on this:
Teamviewer is pile of dog **bleep**. What a fail. Can't you just fix the problem, it's been months as people were complaining and the problem is still there.
I have the problem ON ALL OF MY PCs. All of them have the problem. EVERY SINGLE ONE has the problem. MacBook where I run windows (bootcamp), my windows desktop has the problem, and my ubuntu VM also has the same **bleep** problem. WHAT A PILE OF **bleep** seriously.
Even though it works, this absolutely cannot be marked as solution to the problem. It's a crytical bug in TV software that must be solved by them and not by us doing weird dances.
I run VM all the time in HyperV, I absolutely cannot uninstall or turn it off, so TV sign-in for me basically does not work at all.
Hey Guys,
I had a similar case and found out that in Options-->General(tab)-->Incoming lan connection I had "accept exclusively" selected.
You might want to check that too.
I had the same issue
os: ubuntu 16.04
I went to Extras > Options > General
in the 'Account assignment' I've tried to assign my account, but there was an error saying that niether name or password match (I double checked it was correct)
rebooted pc
after reboot I've started teamviewer, instantly saw the same arror message in the pop-up window and now I'm able to type in the inputs, nothing is greyed out.
I hope it helps
Hello DSperber,
Did you ever resolve this issue? I have the same set up with Ceton, WMC, HTPC. TV will not let me sign in. I just upgraded to TV14 and it still will not allow authentication?
If it matters, TV worked perfectly before TV13. So, something obviuously changed in these new versions.

Climate change: Five ways it's already affecting the planet
Climate change remains controversial, with a significant number of Americans saying it's exaggerated and many lawmakers disputing the science.
At the same time, climate scientists are nearly unanimous and have found new evidence that it has already begun, with the past decade the warmest ever recorded for global temperatures.
That's having effects that can be seen from the Arctic Circle to Africa, including melting permafrost, more pollen and fewer butterflies.
Below, five notable ways climate change can already be seen.
Melting permafrost
What's happening: Permafrost, the layer of frozen topsoil commonly found in higher latitudes, is starting to thaw in some places. According to a United Nations report, observations at two permafrost monitoring networks indicate that "large-scale thawing" may have already started.
What's next: That could have more serious consequences, as the frozen soil has trapped decomposed organic matter. As it warms, it could release more greenhouse gases, such as methane and carbon dioxide, speeding up climate change.
Declining polar bears
What's happening: Polar bears depend on the sea ice to hunt and seek mates. But as the ice disappears, bear mortality rises. In 2008, polar bears were the first animals to be added to the Endangered Species Act list of threatened species because of global warming.
What's next: With the chance that the Arctic could be entirely ice-free during the summer by 2030, the U.S. Geological Survey has warned that two-thirds of the world's polar bear population could be lost within 50 years as the sea ice continues to retreat.
Increasing pollen
What's happening: The latest research presented at the American College of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology in November showed that pollen counts are rising. Dr. Clifford Bassett, a New York allergist, explained that as the amount of carbon dioxide increases, some plants produce three to four times more pollen.
What's next: Pollen counts in the year 2000 averaged 8,455, but by 2040 that number is expected to rise to 21,735 -- an increase of more than 250 percent.
Fewer Monarch butterflies
What's happening: Scientists in Mexico found that monarch butterfly numbers dropped 59 percent this year to the lowest levels since record-keeping began 20 years ago. The decline could be due to increased wildfires caused in part by climate change, among other reasons.
What's next: Further decline could affect tourism in the Mexican state of Michoacan, where Monarch butterflies are a major attraction. Experts say it could also hurt plants and other species connected to the butterfly.
More severe droughts
What's happening: There have been increased periods of drought, particularly in famine-prone areas of Africa and Asia. The National Center for Atmospheric Research found that the percentage of Earth's surface suffering drought has more than doubled since the 1970s.
What's next: In Africa alone, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change predicts that between 75 and 250 million people will be exposed to increased water stress due to climate change.

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
A few weeks ago I published a blog entitled Collecting information about your SSIS packages which demonstrated a way that you could use T-SQL and XQuery to derive information about your SSIS packages. Since then I've made a few amendments to the script that accompanied that blog post as follows:
The collected data now includes the following information about your packages: PackageId PackageXML (The XML that forms the .dtsx file) NumberOfContainers NumberOfDataflows NumberOfConnectionManagers NumberOfVariablesInEntirePackage
Returns a list of non-unique GUIDs and the packages that they appear in. If a GUID appears more than once in the same package it tells us how many times
If there were no tasks in the package no data would be returned. That is now no longer the case. Previous version didn't work on case-sensitive collations, should be OK now.
There are also more comments liberally sprinkled around it now as well!
Here's a screenshot showing some of those new columns:
Returning [PackageId] as a field is an important addition because we can now very easily see if any of our packages share the same Package Id. Package IDs are supposed to be unique but if they are not then they are a problem waiting to happen and unfortunately Business Intelligence Design Studio (BIDS) doesn't really protect you against it very well, in fact if you use package templates then its very likely that you have non unique GUIDs somewhere. ("Non unique globally unique identifiers" – that should set the alarm bells ringing if nothing else).
As alluded to above the script now returns a brand new dataset showing all the GUIDs that occur more than once across all of your packages. Now, I'm not just talking about PackageId GUIDs here, every single object in a SSIS package be it a task, container, component, variable, connection manager, column, whatever… has a GUID attached to it and given the healthy amount of copy-and-paste that goes on when developing SSIS packages its a sure bet that some of those GUIDs are going to get repeated somewhere. Of course, its up to you whether you want to do anything about it or not – if you're a purist then the idea of repeated GUIDs might keep you awake at night although I suspect most people simply won't care. Still, its there if you need it:
You may wonder why I have the [NumberOfTimeshisGUIDOccursInThisPackage] column in there. Well, its perfectly plausible that the a GUID can reoccur in the same package and in fact when I was testing this earlier on today I had a package that had 6 occurrences of a GUID because it contained 6 near-identical connection managers that had obviously been copied-and-pasted.
That's it for now. Let me know if this script proves useful to you and let me know if there's anything you'd like to see added to it. Download the latest version from: http://cid-550f681dad532637.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Public/BlogShare/20091105/SSISPackageStatsCollector%5E_v2.sql. I have also dropped it into SQLMesh.
Looking forward to some feedback (hint hint).

Great work Jamie. I have a few suggestions:
1) If I am not wrong, this code reads all packages from a particular directory, it would be good to have this code read from the solution file. Not sure if this can be done from T-SQL
2) A table structure can be created to collect all this data in a version controlled manner, after converting this code into a parameterized SP.
3) It would be great if packages can be read from the table where they are deployed on SQL Server, as this code would work only where deployment is on file system or only from development machine or from a single directory location.
My ideas might sound stupid :) Please feel free to educate me wherever needed.
Hiya Siddharth,
All good ideas.
1) Reading from the solution file. Well actually it reads from a folder and all subfolders (it is recursive). Yes, reading from a solution file would be good though I'd rather other people took this on themselves and adapted the code accordingly if they need it. What I've provided gives you the basic parsing and then interrogation using XQuery - if people want to populate the list of packages from elsewhere - go ahead!
2) Indeed, putting this stuff into a table and keeping a history over it is a great idea. The script can be easily adapted to do that. It could even be scheduled using SQL Agent.
3) Yes, getting stuff from a table would be nice. Again though, if people need to do this then they're free to go ahead and adapt teh script accordingly!
thanks for the comments.
Dear, Is it possible to get the ParentContainerName rather than getting the ParentContainerGUID directly (though there are way around which doesnt make much sense).
Thanks in advance for the help!

How would I get Column names of a particular task
Great post! How would I modify this to get all the database names used (in a connection manager) and all the table names used in the db?
Not sure. If you find out, let us know :-)
Ok :-)
I am getting an incorrect syntax error in this version of .sql file...

Hi Jamie,
On hindsight, isn't there a tool that compares all the db and tables in our instances and finds out what SSIS packages reference them? Also, on a sidenote, please let me know if there is any tool out there for me to get all the database names used (in a connection manager) and all the table names used in the db in SSIS. All your posts are very helpful. Thanks!
"I am getting an incorrect syntax error in this version of .sql file...
Incorrect syntax near 'MERGE'."
What version of SQL Server are you using? That particular script will only work on SQL Server 2008 and above due to the use of MERGE.
"isn't there a tool that compares all the db and tables in our instances and finds out what SSIS packages reference them?"
I don't know of one but I'm sure there are plenty out there. Try BI Documenter from Pragmatic Works (http://pragmaticworks.com/Products/Business-Intelligence/BIDocumenter/Default.aspx).
Also keep an eye on Project Barcelona http://blogs.msdn.com/b/project_barcelona_team_blog/
Nice one!
Do you know if it is possible to change all the data source that have certain name, and so change and save the updated connection String?
Great Post. I am also interested in getting connection manager related info. Specifically the connection manager name with the connection string, but don't know enough XQuery. For example, extract"ACG_EDG_DB" and "Data Source=DTS-EODSDB-S2;Initial Catalog=ACG_EDB_DB_P;Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;" from this fragment:
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="DelayValidation">0</DTS:Property>
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="ObjectName">ACG_EDB_DB</DTS:Property>
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="DTSID">{1DB78004-F094-429F-A776-920835216566}</DTS:Property>
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="Description" />
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="CreationName">OLEDB</DTS:Property>
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="Retain">0</DTS:Property>
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="ConnectionString">Data Source=DTS-EODSDB-S2;Initial Catalog=ACG_EDB_DB_P;Provider=SQLNCLI10.1;Integrated Security=SSPI;</DTS:Property>
Any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us. It helps lots of peoples like me.
I have question here, I am not sure whether it is possible to implement or not.
Consider this scenario, I have one SSIS package is configured in SQL Agent Job. When job started execute based on the scheduled time, it runs perfectly.
In some cases, job is executing longer than expected. At the time, is it possible to identify which task in SSIS package is delaying the execution.
This is similar to performing the debugging in SSIS. I want to just identify the task name from SSMS using t-sql?
Kindly help me. Thanks Jamie Thomson.
Is it possible to get the object name include in the task that is being executed?
<DTS:Property DTS:Name="ObjectName">SQL_Set_Restart_Parameters</DTS:Property>
I.e. Here is the list of task, the type of task and what is being exectued.
Does this code handle password protected dtsx packages?
Hi jamie, this is a very helpful article and tool, I wish I would have known about it warlier. Quick question - when I run the select that inserts into @pkgStatsBase I get NULL for all columns expcept for PackagePath, PackageFormantversion, PackageType and PackageXML. This prevents any results to @AllPkgStats which to me is the most value of this tool. Would you have any insight about why the NULL's? Is this a function of SSIS version? I am using SSIS 2012

Chipped beef: Carousing bull felled by dart
It's happened before, and it'll probably happen again: An animal escapes from the stockyards in downtown Hogwaller, aka lower Belmont. But this time, the escapee was a big bull.
"I'm no cowboy, but it looked to be a 1,200-pound Black Angus," says Charlottesville Police Sergeant Michael Farruggio, the investigating officer.
Farruggio says the escape began around 11pm on Saturday, September 27, when several bulls were together in a pen. "They got to carousing," says Farruggio, "and one of them opened the door."
A search through Belmont ended at 5am without success. Then, around 1:30pm Sunday, Farruggio says, a 911 call indicated the bull was on East Market Street in the Woolen Mills neighborhood. Five officers responded, along with the foreman at the stockyards. Phone calls left with the stockyards, officially known as the Charlottesville Livestock Market Inc., were not returned.
After about an hour and half of trailing the animal through streets and yards, the foreman fired two tranquilizing darts, and the bull stretched out on Chesapeake Street, Farruggio says, noting that the stockyard foreman then pulled up a trailer and hoisted the sleeping bull into it.
"By the time we got him in the trailer," says Farruggio, "he woke up and was not in a good mood." After that, the foreman and his quarry "rode off into the sunset," says Farruggio, "and that's no bull."
The tranquilizer begins to kick in.
Cops throng 18th Street.
