Great Performance From Leon - Carsley
City Caretaker On Lee Carsley
Coventry City Caretaker Manager Lee Carsley praised goalscorer Leon Clarke for his performance in the 2-0 victory at AFC Bournemouth.
Clarke beat off two defenders before getting the ball on the left and thumping it past Jalal to give City a first half lead, which was doubled when captain Carl Baker converted a penalty six minutes from time.
"It was a great performance from Leon tonight, " Lee Carsley told the club website.
"He has had to work hard throughout the game and it just shows his quality, even without the ball. His goal was brilliantly taken tonight and we are all really happy for him.
"He needs to keep that up until the end of the season and who knows how many goals he will score." Full story: http://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/article/to-get-ten-away-wins-great-achievement-681233.aspxSource: Coventry MAD

With the high number of interest-only loans taken out during the boom years poised to shift to interest and capital, there's the potential for mortgage arrears time bomb, research from the Central Bank reveals today.
The research analyses the loan characteristics, including loan performance, of mortgages originated on interest-only terms in Ireland.
It found that, while interest-only arrangements have been widely used as a means of temporary forbearance to deal with the current mortgage arrears crisis, mortgages were also originated on interest-only terms during the height of the boom.
Between 2005 and 2008, interest-only mortgages were mainly issued to buy-to-let investors on tracker mortgages and at high loan-to-value ratios.
Interest-only mortgages were more likely to be issued to buy-to-let borrowers in Dublin and for the purchase of apartments than standard mortgages. The arrears rates on these mortgages are higher than standard mortgages, the research paper said.
A significant number of interest-only mortgages are due to revert to principal-and-interest repayments in the next 2 years. The resulting higher repayments for these borrowers could lead to an increase in mortgage arrears, it warns.
It also found that 44pc of the buy-to-let interest only borrowers will be beyond retirement age when their loans are due to start principal-and-interest repayments.
However there are 14 years on average until these borrowers retire, allowing them substantial time to establish strategies to cope with the additional repayments.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

Why does my defragger run for five hours and show 0% defragmenting?
We have the Windows ME and are trying to defragment out drives. It has not been done for some time as that is what our salesman advised. The defragmenter that came on the ME is taking a very long time to make zero progress. It has been run for at least five hours and still shows 0% defragmening.

Well, it is hard to guess the issue you have with the defragger. Here are some hints you should check:
a) Do you have enough free space left? Especially, do you have enough continous free space? See the cluster view for details: are the blocks scuttered around -> low continous free space, blocks are neatly arranged -> good free space conditions.
b) Are applications running while you defrag? Maybe they lock files accessed by the defragger?
c) Run scandisk to check your file system integrity. This should be okay, but just to be sure.

5 Fantastic!! Wow!!Angela143 | 07/11/2007 | See all Angela143's reviews (8)This book will make you cry your heart out, laugh out loud, make you angry, make you embarrased and make your heart race!! I love Marian Keyes and buy her books as soon as they are released and this has to be one of my favourites, after Angels of course!! A must read!!
4 You will laugh and cryBeckle82 | 12/01/2008 | See all Beckle82's reviews (3)Brief outlineAnna is in her parents Good Front Room in Dublin. She is staying there because of a dislocated kneecap, ripped off fingernails and a scar that makes the local kids call her Frankenstein.Her mum is force feeding her painkillers and vitamins but all Anna wants is to get back to her amazing job (as a PR girl for kooky make-up firm Candy Grrl) in New York, and back to her man Aidan.For some reason he is not so keen to return her calls, so there is only one thing for it. She has to persuade her family to let her go back to New York.All this along a backdrop of her younger sister Helen (a private investigator who gets involved with the Irish mob), a scandalous case of an old lady and some dog poo and the goings on of Anna's friends in New York.OverviewKeyes' characterization is brilliant - you get emotionally invested in all the characters and can believe they are all real people. Except maybe Aidan who just seems ridiculously perfect.The storyline does jump around quite a bit, but this adds to the readability (is that a real word - I may have just made it up.) You have to know why she is injured, what is going on with Aidan and how will her life be when she finally gets back to New York.Keyes' writing style is very warm and readable although is definitely aimed at women. By the time you finish reading this the terms feathery stroker, Treakil and Jolly Boy will just bring a smile.But this book isn't a laugh a minute, it is also really upsetting and if you don't have a tear in your eye by half way you are made of stone.It deals with some quite heavy going issues without the reader ever having to stop and work things out.I think most women will be able to identify with Anna on some level and be routing for her by the end - I know I stayed up until 4am to find out how it ended!If the trend is anything to go by I will definitely be reading the book about Helen Walsh as she just seems hilarious.People I know who have read the other books say this is the best work Keyes has done to date - be warned though there is some swearing and sex in here so if you don't like that kind of thing you might want to give it a miss
3 Was ok, I've read better!devilsparade | 30/07/2007 | See all devilsparade's reviews (14)I don't understand why Marian Keyes gets all the praise, this book was ok, nothin spectacular, infact it was a little disappointing when we find out where the husband went! And also a little depressing. It did have some funny quirks to it tho, like Helen, the sister! I would read another Marian Keyes book, but only to see if it was just this book i didn't think was much good!
5 Compelling- Best Marion Keyes Book By Far!TopCat1984 | 10/05/2011 | See all TopCat1984's reviews (68)Top 100 Books Reviewer I absolutely adored this book. It probably is the darkest Marion Keyes book i've read as it tackles such a heartbreaking issue, but i think it was brave of Marion Keyes to try something a little different - and it pays off big style. Although there are distressing situations in the book, it's still very funny and extremely witty. Marian Keyes describes Anna's turmoil and confusion so deeply yet sensitively and i was rooting for Anna til the end. I loved this book and highly recommend it.
5 my first and still my favouritemaxmoo | 20/02/2011 | See all maxmoo's reviews (1)This was the 1st marian keyes book I read and I still feel its the best.Never has a book made me laugh and cry in equal measures.Not normally my type of read but I was completely hooked from the 1st chapter and couldnt wait to get my hands on some more of her novels. You wont be dissapointed.

2 (8-3) Out of the mouth of infants and of sucklings thou hast perfected praise, because of thy enemies, that thou mayst destroy the enemy and the avenger. | 2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. |
3 (8-4) For I will behold thy heavens, the works of thy fingers: the moon and the stars which thou hast founded. | 3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, |
4 (8-5) What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him? | 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? |
5 (8-6) Thou hast made him a little less than the angels, thou hast crowned him with glory and honour: | 5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. |
6 (8-7) And hast set him over the works of thy hands. | 6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: |

The Memorial Hospital's 1st 2010 baby born on Jan. 5
Monday, January 11, 2010
If there was a race to be the first baby born in 2010 at The Memorial Hospital, no one knew about it except Hannah Poole.
Three weeks before her mother, Beth, expected her to arrive, Hannah made it clear she was ready to greet the world.
"It was kind of scary," Beth Poole said. "It was a different experience than I had with the boys. I wasn't quite ready, but I guess my body was. I just thought, 'Oh, OK, she is ready.'"
Just before 2 a.m. Jan. 5, Beth Poole gave birth to her and husband Brian's first daughter, and the first baby of 2010 at TMH.
On Friday afternoon, Hannah's parents coddled her while Beth Poole's family helped watch, Jaden, 4, who is Beth Poole's first son, and 2-year-old Andrew, who is Brian Poole's first child with Beth.
Brian Poole, who missed Andrew's birth, said being there for his daughter's birth was an experience he'll never forget.
"We waited a long time, and it was well worth it," he said. "It was a really great experience. All the doctors and nurses were wonderful and really informed me on anything. It was really exciting, anxious."
Excited to finally have another female in the house, Beth Poole said she is looking forward to doing Hannah's hair and piercing her ears.
Both parents expect her to be a girly girl, and her personality already was beginning to show as she peered at her parents shyly from underneath a light green flowery headband.
Beth Poole said she was thrilled to be holding her new baby and going through the process of raising an infant again.
"They just kind of explore you," she said as she gazed down at Hannah, who was lazily waving her arms. "It's a lot different than them just talking back to you."
For the hospital, Hannah was the first birth of what will be an estimated 150 deliveries in 2010.
In 2009, the number of deliveries increased 35 percent during 2008, jumping from 82 to 111 births.
As a part of its 2010 business plan, TMH hopes to increase the number of births another 18 percent.
Part of the plan to increase market share in births included adding a new OB/GYN, Dr. K.C. Keating, who began work in July.
Beth Poole was one of Keating's patients.
"I had the best doctor in the world," Beth Poole said. "I just remember being like, 'Where's my doctor, I need her,' and she was there for me."
Hannah is Beth Poole's third, and most likely last, child.
The fact that she is her first girl and the first baby born at TMH is an added bonus, Beth Poole said.
While Jaden and Andrew are growing up into school age, Brian Poole said he wasn't sure he'd be able to handle letting Hannah go off to preschool when the day comes.
"She's my princess," Brian Poole said. "She couldn't be more perfect. We get to start a new year with a new baby."

"As a part of its 2010 business plan, TMH hopes to increase the number of births another 18 percent".
The number of births recorded in 2009 was 111. Therefore an increase of 18% would equate to 131 births. In this same article the 2010 birth rate was estimated at 150, or a 35% increase!
Sounds like more sammy math!!

A baby a day won't keep the banker away!!! So Sad to say.
In fact, more babys delivered at TMH will only speed up the process of not being able to meet it's financial obligations.
Many hospitals are reducing or getting rid of maternity wards due to the finincial drain. Experts will tell you that maternity is the largest money - losing program at a hospital.( yep, I said looser)
Another loser is physical therapy. Craig has great private providers and yet the brilliant minds of QHR, that operate TMH insist on keeping another looser program. Should a County hospital even compete against private enterprise?
A wasted dollar spent here,a wasted dollar spent there,who are we? QHR. The MISMANAGEMENT COMPANY.
QHR has proven it's self to be a poor manager for TMH. Unfortuinatly, for those of us in the community who have to pay for a beautiful new hospital ,the board or OUR County Commissioners are not paying attention. They only listen to the company they pay $500.000 a year to tell them how smart they are.
O sammmy sammy on the wall where will you be in the TMH fall.
again and again just the facts please!!!

You can anticipate and plan for all the births in the world, but unless you start taking better care of your nursing staff, providing the Obstetric Department with a dedicated staff and listen to their concerns and the physician concerns, TMH will only end up losing the very patients they are trying to recruit. Yes, the births were up in 2009, I did all the stats for the past year as I worked in that department and I know, the fact that one of the OB/GYN physicians from Steamboat left helped recruit some of his patients to our area, but mostly it was because Dr. Ellis and Dr. Keating are heads and shoulders above any previous obstetric care that was available. Now, however, the management of the nursing staff want to make sure they "float" the ob nurses to all the other departments and even go so far as to call them off to keep hours down, well how would you like to be the family that goes in with an obstetric emergency, and be told, "well just wait, our nurse has a 20 minute response time"....are you kidding me? Either buck up and take the time to dedicate the staff and the training, or get out of the baby business, a few hours of nursing labor sure doesnt' equate out to a major malpractice suit! But maybe Sam and George have the answers for this too and just don't share!

The John Kinkaid blog was not working, TOO Many wanting comment? The system must have OD"d Call the ambulance,but don't take me to TMH, I would be erased. Wah, Wah, Wah.
Hurray, Hurray, some of the commissioners got their way. The other lost her sway!!!
Do we really think that there was no back room plotting with the hospital Board Chairman,his wife the Commissioner, and the TMH CEO, that just happened to sit in on hospital Board interviews???
Fact: The one hospital Board member that would ask questions and wanted to see accountibility left the board, (WHY??)
Fact: The TMH board chairman was probably looking for another rubber stamp member.
Fact: John Kinkaid has a reputation of asking questions and being informed, ( Not wanted on this board!!!)
Fact: The Memorial Hospital LOST $1.3 million dollars in operations last year.
Fact: In July TMH will have to start making payments of $365,000.00 per month on the new house. ( where is the money going to come from?)
Fact: Quorum Health Care's contract with TMH and the Commissioners is up for renewal this year. ( HELLO, is any one paying attention, Board & Commissioners??)
Fact: The current TMH board ignores the facts and blindly follows the administration regarding finances. The result? Rubber stamping mismanagement.
Fact: The same SAD, SAD, SAD culture exist at TMH that has been there since Quorum took over management.
By the way, did some body put the Wammy on Sammy? The service of Excellence is non existent at TMH and so is she.
O Sammy, Sammy on the wall, once and for all Please, please, please. JUST THE FACTS.

"Experts will tell you that maternity is the largest money - losing program at a hospital.( yep, I said looser)" (sic)
I hate to combine threads, but this is like,,,,, the 3rd time I've seen a comment from a big picher of Shania that grammatically makes NO sense, so I feel compelled to respond...
When one posts about being ''looser'' on a blog about maternity events, it's probably not a good thing. But, being a gay male, if one would post about being a "loser" on a blog about maternity events, I might understand.
Which is she, justthefacts? Is she "looser" for the effort, or a "loser" for the effort? I'm sure whichever you answer you're sure to get bombarded by one half or the other. Perhaps both halves. That would be fun, wouldn't it?
By the way, and again I know I'm going off-topic here, but perhaps y'all was raight. Mebby we does need englich as a furst langwich.
my 2cents... u no hoo
daybyday 4 years, 12 months ago
Some write in a manner unique; others like a control freak. Some see the facts in a word though misspelled; others seem somewhat questionably compelled. If just the facts will make our minds richer, then no one cares how you spell picher. A final thought, Ladies and Gents...a penny well spent is a penny earned...or is that just non-cents.
justthefacts 4 years, 12 months ago
Westslope Guy,
If you will read my post, you will find that I spelled loser two different ways, loser( The correct spelling) and looser to emphasize a point.
Being the broadminded individual that your are, ( being gay and all) I am surprised that you didn't pickup on that.
When debating, I would rather debate with the facts vs someones proclivity (check the dictionary on this one) toward debating from the heart. The important thing is that the message is understood!!!! Mispelled or not.
This again just the facts.

Pop superstar Rihanna delighted fans in Mexico City as she kicked off the first date of her new tour.
The Barbadian singer played a sell-out show at the city's Plaza Condesa for the inaugural performance of her 777 Tour.
It was a relatively small venue for the stadium-filling star, who treated fans to hits such as Birthday Cake, Cockiness and Talk That Talk.
Addressing her fans, Rihanna - dressed all in black - dedicated Wait Your Turn, from her 2009 album Rated R, to her Mexico City "Navy", lamenting the fact it had been "too long" since her last visit.
The single, with its sing-a-long chorus of "the wait is over", proved a big hit with the crowd as they held their hands and mobile phones aloft.
It was followed by another back-to-back set of hits - Man Down, Only Girl in the World and Disturbia.
The tour may be designed to promote her latest record, but it wasn't until mid-way through the set that the singer launched into Fresh Out the Runway from her new album, Unapologetic.
Rihanna's ambitious new tour will see her play seven dates in seven different countries, within the space of just seven days.

The Welsh actor's nine-year-old daughter Lily shows off his OBE medal outside Buckingham Palace

Watch Olympic medalist Rebecca Adlington receiving her award from the Queen
Michael Sheen, who played Tony Blair in The Queen, got the chance to meet the monarch in real life this week as he accepted an OBE from her at Buckingham Palace.
"This is a huge honour," said the Port Talbot-born actor, who was awarded the title in the new Year's honours list. "I am both thrilled and slightly mystified. But very grateful."
Michael, who was joined at the ceremony by Lily - his nine-year old daughter from his relationship with Kate Beckinsale - said the Queen had asked him what he was doing next.
"I was in the slightly tricky situation of saying, 'I'm playing the prime minister again in a film about Tony Blair and Bill Clinton'," revealed the 40-year-old star. "And she said, 'That must be a terribly difficult thing to do'."
Also picking up an OBE was Olympic double gold medallist Rebecca Adlington. Wearing a pair of her beloved Jimmy Choo heels, the swimming champ was above the British monarch's eye level as she accepted her medal – even though the 83-year-old monarch was a step above her.
Rebecca said receiving the award capped off the best year of her life. "Getting the honour is up there with the gold medals - it's one of the best things you're ever going to get in your life."
"It's just unbelievable, I was looking around the room and talking to people beforehand who have done fantastic things and I'm only 20. What am I doing here? I'm just a swimmer."

1 Paul, [a] called apostle of Jesus Christ, by God's will, and Sosthenes the brother, | 1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, |
2 to the assembly of God which is in Corinth, to [those] sanctified in Christ Jesus, called saints, with all that in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both theirs and ours: | 2 To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ--their Lord and ours: |
3 Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and [the] Lord Jesus Christ. | 3 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. |
4 I thank my God always about you, in respect of the grace of God given to you in Christ Jesus; | 4 I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. |
5 that in everything ye have been enriched in him, in all word [of doctrine], and all knowledge, | 5 For in him you have been enriched in every way--in all your speaking and in all your knowledge-- |
6 (according as the testimony of the Christ has been confirmed in you,) | 6 because our testimony about Christ was confirmed in you. |
7 so that ye come short in no gift, awaiting the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ; | 7 Therefore you do not lack any spiritual gift as you eagerly wait for our Lord Jesus Christ to be revealed. |
8 who shall also confirm you to [the] end, unimpeachable in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. | 8 He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. |
9 God [is] faithful, by whom ye have been called into [the] fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. | 9 God, who has called you into fellowship with his Son Jesus Christ our Lord, is faithful. |
10 Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all say the same thing, and that there be not among you divisions; but that ye be perfectly united in the same mind and in the same opinion. | 10 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought. |
11 For it has been shewn to me concerning you, my brethren, by those of [the house of] Chloe, that there are strifes among you. | 11 My brothers, some from Chloe's household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. |
12 But I speak of this, that each of you says, *I* am of Paul, and *I* of Apollos, and *I* of Cephas, and *I* of Christ. | 12 What I mean is this: One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas "; still another, "I follow Christ." |
13 Is the Christ divided? has Paul been crucified for you? or have ye been baptised unto the name of Paul? | 13 Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul? |
14 I thank God that I have baptised none of you, unless Crispus and Gaius, | 14 I am thankful that I did not baptize any of you except Crispus and Gaius, |
15 that no one may say that I have baptised unto my own name. | 15 so no one can say that you were baptized into my name. |
16 Yes, I baptised also the house of Stephanas; for the rest I know not if I have baptised any other. | 16 (Yes, I also baptized the household of Stephanas; beyond that, I don't remember if I baptized anyone else.) |
17 For Christ has not sent me to baptise, but to preach glad tidings; not in wisdom of word, that the cross of the Christ may not be made vain. | 17 For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel--not with words of human wisdom, lest the cross of Christ be emptied of its power. |
18 For the word of the cross is to them that perish foolishness, but to us that are saved it is God's power. | 18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. |
19 For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and set aside the understanding of the understanding ones. | 19 For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate." |
20 Where [is the] wise? where scribe? where disputer of this world? has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? | 20 Where is the wise man? Where is the scholar? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? |
21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom has not known God, God has been pleased by the foolishness of the preaching to save those that believe. | 21 For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe. |
22 Since Jews indeed ask for signs, and Greeks seek wisdom; | 22 Jews demand miraculous signs and Greeks look for wisdom, |
23 but *we* preach Christ crucified, to Jews an offence, and to nations foolishness; | 23 but we preach Christ crucified: a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, |
24 but to those that [are] called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ God's power and God's wisdom. | 24 but to those whom God has called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. |
25 Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. | 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than man's wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man's strength. |
26 For consider your calling, brethren, that [there are] not many wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many high-born. | 26 Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth. |
27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world, that he may put to shame the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world, that he may put to shame the strong things; | 27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong. |
28 and the ignoble things of the world, and the despised, has God chosen, [and] things that are not, that he may annul the things that are; | 28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things--and the things that are not--to nullify the things that are, |
29 so that no flesh should boast before God. | 29 so that no one may boast before him. |
30 But of him are *ye* in Christ Jesus, who has been made to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and holiness, and redemption; | 30 It is because of him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God--that is, our righteousness, holiness and redemption. |
31 that according as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in [the] Lord. | 31 Therefore, as it is written: "Let him who boasts boast in the Lord." |

Compliance Reports display inaccurate compliance numbers and reboot required status.
Article:TECH167291 | | | Created: 2011-08-16 | | | Updated: 2014-04-09 | | | Article URL http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH167291 |
The Patch Management Solution for Windows Compliance Reports are showing clients needing a reboot, when they have been rebooted, or they display inaccurate data concerning the client's compliance.
Patch Management 7.1 SP1, SP2, MP1.x and 7.5
Software Update Cycle is captured as an 'Event' for Patch Management. If the event is missed due to client tasks being backed up / stale; the 'Event' is lost. If the Event is lost; the Patch Reports are not able to provide accurate 'IsInstalled=TRUE' or 'Reboot Required' data.
- Note: This is an environmental issue and not a bug of the product. The status will be remediated the next time a Software Update Cycle has executed, capturing the Event, and provided the environment is in order; process to the database resolving this temporary problem.
- Advisory: This Event cannot be duplicated with a reboot. The process for Software Update Cycle, reboot required and reboot executed, is the only way to generate the event.
Found that utilizing scripting to execute the Software Update Cycle does not trigger the event, so the process does not gather the Event data. This is not supported, for it is utilizing other solutions (Software Delivery or Task Jobs) to execute the Patch functions. Ensure that the process is completely owned by Patch Management.
Additionally, this can be caused by a myriad of things;
- SMP unable to process NSE files due to queue full or other errors
- 503 errors on SMP or other IIS issues
- Database is unable to process with deadlocks or other maintenance issues
- Client GPO blocks return of NSE files
Review the following to see if the issue is present:
1. Check the Client's Registry to see if a reboot is required
- This process it outlined on KM: TECH127365
- Value of 1 indicates that a reboot is needed
- Reboot the client and allow for time to gather the event files
2. Check the Client's InstallLog.csv
- This location is outlined on KM: TECH147912
3. Check the Client's Resource Manager
- Console > Manage > Computers > All Computers pane
- Right-click Client > Resource Manager
- Resource Manager > View > Inventories > Data Classes > Software Management > Patch Management > Installed Windows Software Update
- Current tab in the right pane
- Match the installed list with the compliance report to see what is conflicting.
Once deemed this is the issue in the environment: Wait for the Software Update Cycle to execute on the client(s) once more to resolve this temporary problem. However, if unable to wait for another Software Update Cycle / Reboot Event; review the following work around:
Work Around: run the attached sql files to update the views in the Symantec_CMDB database; vPMCore_SWDEventExecutionSuccessByComputer and vPMCore_SWDEventExecutionSuccessByComputer2
- This work around will remove the Reboot Event requirement from the Compliance Report. The report will render compliance based on the IsInstalled Rule returned value.
- Advisory: Before running the SQL rename the existing view for backup purposes.
- Note: The change made slows down the view slightly when rendering the report. In most environments it will not be noticeable; however, larger databases may see a greater impact.
Workaround Addition 1: Import the attached custom report: Listed Missing Reboot Events
Workaround Addition 2: View the attached 'Custom RebootRequired Inventory_Dataclass_Report.zip' file; walks through the process to create a custom Inventory Job (gather reboot data without event), custom DataClass (store inventory in database) and custom Report (view data in Console).
Additional Info: Uninstalling / Reinstalling the Altiris Agent will not resolve this issue, for the Patch Inventory is held in the Symantec_CMDB database and will not be affected.
- However, if the Client Resource is deleted through the Console > Manage > Filters > Computers; the client will return Patch Inventories and the database will process the inventory as 'Installed by User' which will bypass the Reboot Event check.
- Caution: Perform this process at your own risk, for database info will be lost for the client's full inventory, and this data is not recoverable through product.
Advisory: To help prevent the missing Event in an environment: Review the steps detailed on KM: TECH183347 to ensure the EventQueue settings are in order to allow more data through. The data is processed from the client via the EventQueue and if the SMP is unable to process that data; it could result in losing the Event Data from the clients.
Note: Step 6 of the linked KM article: the 'FastQueueThreshold' value should not exceed 50,000, but go as big as possible.
Additionally, stagger the Windows System Assessment Scan to run off schedule of any other inventory pulling processes (e.g. Send Basic Inventory or Replication).
If this issue is seen in older versions of Patch (PM 7.0-7.1 MR4); review KM: TECH140529.

As Dr. Walsleben says in her book: "Don't ask for help, demand it!" "To be a mother, especially a narcoleptic mother, is a calling— a profession—for the brave of heart," adds Dugan. "The journey of living and sacrificing for your child is a gift from God to parents, which teaches us what life is really all about, and what makes life so full and meaningful. My children warm my heart. Narcolepsy teaches us to look at the things we can do, rather than what we cannot."

More on Answers.com's 5 million-strong community.
Last week we mentioned here that the Answers.com community has grown to over 5 million members. The growth is encouraging, and not just to us no.stupid.answers bloggers. Answers.com's Director of Community Development, Scott Moore, shared his thoughts in yesterday's press release:
"Q&A sites have become a very popular means for getting answers to everyday questions, as well as sharing knowledge on topics close to people's hearts, and Answers.com is at the forefront of this trend," said Scott Moore, Director of Community Development.
"Whether it is the BP oil spill disaster, the latest on the iPhone 4 release, or excitement surrounding the FIFA World Cup games, our dedicated community is asking, answering and conversing across a vast collection of categories. Our community programs – Community Outreach, WikiReviewers, Mentoring and Vandal Patrol, to name a few, are delivering on the opportunity to expand our user-base, our data-base and our brand. As we fast approach 9 million answers in our community answer database, it's clear that, without the wonderful, diverse and knowledgeable members of our community, we wouldn't have one of the fastest-growing Q&A communities on the Web."
Here are some other fun facts about Answers.com's recent growth:
- Answers.com's U.S. audience size in May 2010 was 45.4 million unique visitors…
- …this ranked the site #21 on the comScore charts.

Gear Review
real good for traveling
If you are a jet setting snowboarder, this bag is for you. Well built and functional. This bag has the room to bring all your gear and then some. I ended up returning it because it has to much room for me. I'm a local type snowboarder that lives real close to the hills. So for me this bag had way more room then I need. I recommend this bag. happy shreding!!!

text: If you enjoyed Metro 2033, both the book and game, you'll love this one too.User Rating: 10 | Metro: Last Light (Limited Edition) PCBy oc_ta_vi_an | Review Date: May 19, 2013 This is what I call a great game. A game you won't easily forget. It's a game that will stay with you forever. The game is based on the Novel "Metro 2033" and, if you read the book, you'll be impressed by the accuracy of the depiction. The metro stations are depicted how I pictured them while reading the novel. You'll be impressed by the graphics. It's truly amazing how everything is superbly drawn. The characters, the monsters (really scary), the creepy tunnels are magnificent. The water drops on your gas mask, the way you have to wipe it off once and again, well, everything looks grand. You're Artyom and not, after having killed the Dark Ones in the first game, you must repay for your mistake. After many turns of events, after fights both in the Nazi station and Communist one, at the end you'll be guided by a Dark One child whom you can communicate with and you'll sacrifice yourself for the good cause. I won't spoil the story for you, but I truly advise you to play this game. The soundtrack is enthralling and the environment sounds are believable. And the beasts' roars really freak you up.

No, I'm not talking about the characters and story line.
I'm talking the author taking shortcuts to achieve a goal without motivation.
I love romance.
God loves romance. Look at human history. It's a romance!
In fact, I was flying home from Dallas the other day, sitting behind a young newlywed couple, and as I caught them interacting, I teared up.
"What God? Do You have something for them?"
"No," He said. "I just wanted to share with you I love marriage, romance."
Wow! God's on board with love. And He loves sharing with His friends.
Anyway, on occasion, as I read romances, I find authors cheating.
Meaning, they move the characters through the story without motivation.
Well, not with character motivation but with author motivation saying, "I need the hero and heroine to be together in every scene."
So, after a fight between he H & H, or a "I don't want to be with you!" argument, the H & H are in the next scene together, getting along famously.
Even if the fight or argument was "I just want to be friends," what's the motivation for them to be together in the next scene?
There has to be romantic tension. Meaning, they're saying and doing one thing but feeling and wanting another
She says, upon rejecting his invitation to a date or even after a spontaneous kiss, "Let's be friends."
He says, "But, um, yea, whatever…"
The next scene or even the next two cannot be the hero and heroine hanging out!
Because their romantic feelings have surfaced and one is standing off the other.
BTW, make sure you have a good reason and motivation for that stand off, too.
If you want your H & H to be together, which is great because it increases tension, then create a viable scenario.
This is why I love when an H & H are somehow forced to be together by circumstances, job or pressure.
In How To Catch A Prince (Feb 24th from Zondervan) I needed the H & H to be together but there were NO reasons.
The Prince was fighting being together.
So I had the heroine, Corina, be invited to the palace for dinner and then applied family pressure for them to attend a movie premier together.
In Denise Hunter's Barefoot Summer, the heroine is forced to be with the hero to learn sailing.
So no matter if they are getting along or not, there's another sailing lesson on the horizon to keep them on the same page.
I know we try to always have motivation, but sometimes we inadvertently lack in the motivation department.
Next up…
Another motivation issue.
If your hero or heroine chose to do something against their nature, or in the face of their pain or fears, show proper reason and motivation.
If your heroine is afraid of cemeteries, and you've made that clear throughout the first part of the book, (with proper reasons of course) then don't have her go visit her Granny's grave because she wants to "talk things over with her."
Show the heroine or hero kicking and screaming into that scene! They have to be pushed by some external circumstance.
But when they DO enter into that painful place, take the reader along and let them feel the pain and emotion with the characters.
Don't sum up the scene, "And so she went to see Granny's grave."
Or, "Finally, she could face her fear. Later, while eating with Bob…"
Take us inside the heart and mind of the character. Give us the emotion. Let us see and feel what the characters see and feel.
No cheating.
No shortcuts.
Now, go write something emotional and brilliant.
