The 'Art of Listening' from Advance is Simply Brilliant
Advance 'Art of Listening' course explores, how we can get the prospect to open up and tell us that their personal issues.
As per Advance's definition (which is very much appropriate in Sales scenario), 'Listening is the active process of letting other person know that you've heard them'.
Listening is giving positive signals to the other person that say, "Hi, I'm still here. Please keep going!"
When the other person is talking, good listeners show great enthusiasm. They talk at the same time as the other person! But they are not interrupting.
No! Really! That's terrible!
Phrases like these encourage the other person to keep going. Sometimes, it is just enough to raise the eyebrow. But show the other person that you have understood. Most people can afford to be much more demonstrative in their listening. It may feel a little corny to you but to them they love it. Many salespeople are so busy asking questions and thinking of the next question to ask that they forget to listen to the answers.
Few of the techniques which brilliantly works are:
a) maintaining the wave length with the speaker
b) Be responsive to his words
c) showing Empathy
d) offer an emotion
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course you will be able to:
• Understand the skill and techniques of listening.
• Emphasise and acknowledge emotion buttons effectively.
• Understand the difference between personal and business personal benefits.
• Use listening to uncover needs and benefit.
• Introduce subjects by asking the right questions to keep the prospect talking.

text: CCW 2016: Sepura provides TETRA system for German offshore windfarm04 Jun 2016 06:54 PM Sepura and partner Vissim Renewables will supply a complete system with base stations, SC20 handportable and SRG3900 mobile radiosSepura and its solutions partner Vissim Renewables have been selected to provide a complete TETRA two-way radio communications solution for an offshore windfarm, located off the coast of Germany.The TETRA system will feature a number of base stations, Sepura's flagship SC20 series hand-portable radios with accessories, and SRG3900 mobile radios. The newly launched SC20 hand-portables have been specifically developed to provide optimal performance in challenging conditions, and feature unique water-porting technology which expels liquid, protecting the earpiece, speaker and both microphones to maintain clear communications, even in torrential rain.The marine-hardened radios hold IP66, 67 and 68 environmental protection ratings, and feature powerful 2W audio with enhanced fidelity to provide operational consistency in high-noise environments.The SRG3900 mobile radios, used in conjunction with the Vessel and Personnel Tracking and Management suite provided by solutions partner Vissim Renewables, will deliver a real-time overview of personnel location – vital for day to day efficiency and in emergency situations.Nick Dent, commercial director for Vissim Renewables, commented: "Construction and routine maintenance of equipment on wind farms requires a powerful and reliable digital radio system. The environment can be extremely demanding; both infrastructure and terminals must meet the highest standards in all areas, from ease of use to durability and performance."Operators and developers can have complete confidence in this robust solution – particularly the SC20 series radios, whose superb audio quality, along with their salt-resistance, make them the natural choice for engineers who often operate in driving rain and sea spray." Gary Maughan, Sepura's regional director for UK and North/Central Europe, commented: "This contract is a robust endorsement of both Sepura and Vissim Renewables' experience and expertise in the complex communications requirements of the utilities sector. "The SC20 is ideal for this type of deployment, not only in terms of durability, but also due to its unique ability to offer an optional second high-speed data bearer capability, allowing data access via a broadband data network. "This win also inaugurates our working relationship with Vissim Renewables, and we look forward to more successful collaborations with them in the future."

By CARYN JAMES
Published: November 4, 1994
For David Mamet, conversation is a blood sport and words are lethal weapons. In "Oleanna," his incendiary play about sexual harassment, a college student and her professor pace around his office hurling words at each other, actions that inspired knock-down-drag-out verbal fights in theater lobbies when the play was first produced. But that was in 1992, when the Clarence Thomas-Anita Hill hearings were still fresh in our minds. Since then, sexual harassment has sometimes dominated the news, as in the Tailhook and West Point scandals, or in Paula Jones's accusations against President Clinton. And the issue has even become fodder for popular entertainment, as in Michael Crichton's best-selling novel "Disclosure," coming up as a Christmas movie.
Now this faithful, flat-footed screen version, directed by Mr. Mamet, offers a reminder that "Oleanna" was always more effective as a debate topic than a work of drama. Its two characters, Carol and John, are puppets manipulated by their creator, which makes "Oleanna" less volatile today than when it was the only sexual-harassment game in town.
As in the play, Carol and John have three extended meetings, their roles reversing a bit more with each encounter. She begins as a confused young thing, failing his course and wailing, "I don't understand." He is the voice of sympathetic, if impatient, authority. They discuss pedagogy. She says she feels stupid; he tells her he once felt so insecure he judged his normalcy against a story that rich people have sex less frequently than poor people, but take off more of their clothes.
Carol's next visit takes place after she has filed a complaint with the tenure committee, including charges that John told her a pornographic story. By the third visit, John is drinking and looks disheveled. Carol has assumed an air of power and has accused John of trying to rape her, a charge we know to be untrue.
Recreating his stage role, William H. Macy is by far the best part of the film. He gives John the precise enunciation of a pedant, yet as the camera moves in on his face he reveals the confusion behind the eyes. In his subtle, powerful performance, Mr. Macy, the perfect Mamet actor, makes it clear that John's youthful insecurities are still lurking beneath the teacher's superior posture. John is no hero, but at worst he is a bad teacher and an egotist, guilty of poor judgment. Yet by the end the heavy hand of Mr. Mamet has pushed the character into behavior that supports Carol's view of him as a villain.
As in the play, Carol is the film's deep, inescapable flaw. As her charges against John escalate, "Oleanna" allows for only two possibilities: she is viciously manipulative or seriously self-deluded. Mr. Mamet has loaded the drama so that she cannot be right, a dramatic strategy that shifts the focus away from the slippery he said-she said of sexual harassment and toward Carol's underwritten state of mind. As Carol, Debra Eisenstadt wisely doesn't tip the scales toward lunacy or power lust, but the role itself is hopelessly vague.
Mr. Mamet can be a first-rate film maker, and in works like "House of Games" and "Homicide" he trusts language as much as he relies on small, subtle camera movements. Here both the language and Mr. Mamet's film making let him down.
Instead of setting the action entirely in John's office, the film occasionally follows them as they walk down a corridor, or briefly puts John alone after a party in the new house he hopes to buy. This compromise neither enlivens the action nor reproduces the intentional claustrophobia of the one-set play.
There is the typical Mamet barrage of stylized language, full of interruptions, repeated phrases and the kind of formal diction that works only in Mr. Mamet's closed world. "What do you want of me?" Carol asks. But often the language is too feeble and abstract to carry its load of passion. "You think I want revenge?" Carol says toward the end. "I don't want revenge. I want understanding."
And the film is so shadowy-looking that at times half the characters' faces are obscured. (It's no use arguing that this reflects ambiguity; there's a problem if we're straining to see a character's eyes.)
What is intriguing about "Oleanna" today is how quickly its moment passed.
OLEANNA Written and directed by David Mamet, based on his play; director of photography, Andrzej Sekula; edited by Barbara Tulliver; music by Rebecca Pidgeon; production designers, David Wasco and Sandy Reynolds Wasco; produced by Patricia Wolff and Sarah Green; released by the Samuel Goldwyn Company. Running time: 90 minutes. This film is not rated. WITH: William H. Macy (John) and Debra Eisenstadt (Carol).

Interactions between climate change, competition, dispersal, and disturbances in a tree migration model
- First Online:
- Received:
- Accepted:
Potentially significant shifts in the geographical patterns of vegetation are an expected result of climate change. However, the importance of local processes (e.g., dispersal, competition, or disturbance) has been often ignored in climate change modeling. We develop an individual-based simulation approach to assess how these mechanisms affect migration rate. We simulate the northward progression of a theoretical tree species when climate change makes northern habitat suitable. We test how the rate of progression is affected by (1) competition with a resident species, (2) interactions with disturbance regimes, (3) species dispersal kernel, and (4) the intensity of climate change over time. Results reveal a strong response of species' expansion rate to the presence of a local competitor, as well as nonlinear effects of disturbance. We discuss these results in light of current knowledge of northern forest dynamics and results found in the climatic research literature.

The performance is unusual because most often the funds rise along with bullion prices. Fund portfolio managers offer several theories about what has caused the poor returns.

A VA pension is the benefit paid for an age-related disability, and is not service-connected. The pension is based on income; however there are other criteria that also determine eligibility. You can contact the VA regional office for assistance regarding pension or disability compensation or contact a local, state or national veteran service organization.

Warning: The following blog post contains A LOT of Seddie. Non-seddie lovers, continue reading at your own risk!
Helloo everyone!! I've been meaning to write this for a while, and I figured that since I have spring break this week, now would be the best time to do it. I mean, I tried to write it yesterday, but my computer crashed halfway through, which REALLY upset me. I hope that doesn't happen this time! :)
Anyway, moving on. As you know, iOMG came out a little over a week ago, and it was a pretty special episode, especially considering that we finally got A SECOND SEDDIE KISS!!! Like their first kiss, of course, it was great! What I'm wondering, though, is which one was better. The kiss from iKiss or the kiss from iOMG. Honestly, after thinking about it for the better part of ten days, I still can't decide. Soo I want your opinion! Since I have no preference at this moment, I will argue the pros and cons for both sides.
Kiss #1: iKiss
The scene went somewhat like this: Sam feels guilty about telling the world that Freddie never kissed anyone, so she goes out to the fire escape to talk to him. Once there, Sam apologizes for everything mean she's ever done to Freddie, but still claims that she'll continue to make his life miserable during the upcoming years. After this, they begin to talk about first kisses, and how people make such a big deal about it. Freddie suddenly says that they should kiss "just to get it over with", and Sam agrees. They kiss for about 8 seconds. When they pull away, Sam looks awkward, while Freddie is smiling. As Sam is about to leave, Freddie calls her back and jokingly says "I hate you," to which Sam replies "Hate you too".
- It was both Sam and Freddie's first kiss (and what isn't awesome about that??)
- Both of them agreed to kiss each other, so there were no surprises between the two
- Freddie kissed her back this time
- It was in an ideal setting: On a balcony at nightime, clear sky, music playing in the backround, etc.
- The music playing in the backround was an actual song called Running Away by AM, and the lyrics seemed match up pretty well with Sam and Freddie's actions (eg. The lyrics that played in the backround as they both leaned in were "I don't know if I'm gonna change, wasting time and another day...")
- Carly wasn't watching them this time
- There were no arguments during this scene
- THIS was the kiss that caused many fans (including myself) to ship Seddie
- Although that they both claimed to have kissed "just to get it over with" they had also talked about how people tend to think of their first kiss as a really big deal, and that they get really excited about it. Perhaps this is how Sam and Freddie felt at the time of the kiss?===
- Since Sam and Freddie are both a bit younger in this episode, there hasn't been much character development yet, and the kiss didn't exactly prove as much as the other kiss as a result (The iOMG kiss proved that Sam really was in love with Freddie)
- Sam and Freddie argue a lot in this episode, which ultimately leads to Freddie's humiliation
- Carly eventually finds out about their kiss, which leads to serious concequences
Kiss #2: iOMG
- Well, it's longer! :) By about 3 seconds, anyway
- This kiss, unlike the first one, actually implies something much bigger than "getting it over with". When Sam kisses Freddie this time, it shows that she is clearly in love with him
- Sam and Freddie don't argue AT ALL during the entire episode, with the exception of the last scene. In fact, Sam even acts NICER towards Freddie(eg. Offering to help him with a project, hanging out with him and Brad, giving him his camera, making him suspicious guacamole)
- Again, the setting is pretty ideal: in a courtyard, just after midnight, clear sky, etc.
- This kiss might actually have a major impact on future episodes of iCarly/ the relationship between Sam and Freddie as we know it
- Freddie doesn't pull away from the kiss, although he easily could have
- Freddie also replies to Sam by saying "it's cool", implying that he may have liked the kiss himself (we know Sam sure did!)
- Freddie doesn't kiss Sam back
- Carly sees them kissing from the window, and she looks quite shocked
- Sam and Freddie argue in this last scene before they kiss
Pros for both kisses :)
- Both kisses are short and simple (not all mushy and tongue-y like most of the other kisses on iCarly)
- During both kisses, music is playing in the background rather than the (annoying) laugh track
- Both take place outside and at night
- Sam is always wearing red/pink and Freddie always wears blue (okay, that one was a little nit-picky, but their color is purple!)
- Both take place at the END of the episode, leaving the audience with something to think about
- Both have a very pleasant Seddie moment prior to the kiss :)
Okayy so that I've stated the facts, it's time for your opinion!! Which kiss did you like better? Please comment below!!! :)))

DescriptionIt seemed like a normal day. Sit back at your computer, put in a new CD-ROM and relax... unfortunately the galaxy had other plans. Without warning, a loud crash introduces you to the Starship Titanic: The Ship That Cannot Possibly Go Wrong. As the galaxy's most most prestigious, most impressive, largest and therefore most expensive interstellar liner, the Starship Titanic should be the flying treasure of the universe. Unfortunately something has, quite obviously gone wrong, or at least gone unexpectedly. The ship's main computer, Titania, has been sabotaged and gone insane. As a result, all the artificial personalities that manage the ship are also affected. You'll need to deal with a DeskBot, a BellBot, a BarBot not to mention a sarcastic parrot, a proud elevator and a stupid bomb. Without time or consideration to any other options, you find yourself quickly shanghaied aboard the Titanic, given an cheap, economy-sized room and put in charge of fixing the puzzling situation aboard the ship.
Starship Titanic is a 1st-person adventure game, described by some as a fusion of Myst if it had been conceived by Douglas Adams (author of Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and creative force behind this game). With a basic set of navigational controls, the player must explore the starship's many rooms, obtaining and manipulating objects and conversing with many different characters in an effort to get better lodgings and set things right along the way. Conversation with these characters is done trough a parser system that recognizes key words that the player must input. At times, you are able to adjust dials which control various attributes of a robot character's personality and general usefulness.

The second instalment of the Hunger Games franchise is a definite improvement on its predecessor. This is a darker, more mature film which accentuates yet further the Orwellian elements in the Suzanne Collins novels from which it is adapted.
Click here for more pictures from the Catching Fire world premiere
It benefits from another full-blooded performance from Jennifer Lawrence as the tough, single-minded warrior heroine, Katniss Everdeen. There is strong support, too, from a cast which now includes Philip Seymour Hoffman as Plutarch Heavensbee, the duplicitous new "gamesmaker." It's just a pity that when battle finally commences, you again have the feeling you're watching a bloodier version of It's A Knockout – a glorified Outward Bound-style games show rather than a proper movie.
As the story begins, Katniss is back home in District 12 after winning the 74th Hunger Games. Her family and the other inhabits of the District still live in abject poverty. The ruthless and cynical President Snow (Donald Sutherland), wants her to go on a "victory tour" and to try to fool the masses that she is deeply in love with her co-survivor from the Games, Peeta Mellark (Josh Hutcherson.)
Francis Lawrence (taking over directorial duties from Gary Ross) accentuates the brutality in the early scenes. President Snow is a fascist leader. His military are ready to use the most extreme tactics to suppress any hint of revolutionary fervour. Katniss is in the unfortunate position of being a poster girl for a regime she loathes.
As a dystopian sci-fi yarn, Catching Fire is – initially – effective and chilling. The imagery of district dwellers being rounded up and massacred seems intended to evoke memories of Nazi atrocities. The screenplay, co-written by Simon Beaufoy (Slumdog Millionaire and The Full Monty) has a strong satirical undertow. The fascist state uses the media in general – and reality TV game shows in particular – to keep the masses distracted.
The supporting cast clearly enjoy themselves. Stanley Tucci plays the game show host with extreme unctuous creepiness. Sutherland is good value as the sleekly evil, beard-stroking President. Elizabeth Banks behaves with the right mix of vanity and vacuousness as Katniss's absurd chaperone, Effie Trinket.
Strangely, when the long awaited Hunger Games start, the film loses steam. There are still some tremendous special effects – toxic mist, mutant monkeys with a taste for flesh – but the storytelling becomes muddled. Katniss remains at the heart of the action, using her bow and arrow to explosive effect, even as we struggle to work out who survived, who is dead, who is killing who, what is happening – and why. (All will doubtless become clear in the next film.)
It is heartening to find a teen-oriented movie franchise as gritty as The Hunger Games. Even so, Catching Fire remains contradictory, caught in some nether world between nightmarish political allegory and adolescent escapism.

Distribution of Educational Assistance SY 2016-2017
Young Caviteños struggling to finish their college education and parents who are working hard to pay for their children's schooling were given hope by the Provincial Government of Cavite under Governor Jesus Crispin "Boying" Remulla during the distribution of Educational Assistance intended for the second semester of school year 2016-2017 on March 13, 2017 at the Provincial Gymnasium, Trece Martires City.
A total amount of P3,340,000.00 was distributed to 668 beneficiaries with each student receiving P5,000.00
Former Gen. Aguinaldo Vice Mayor Ben Golfo, now acting Vice Chairman of the Provincial Scholarship Program (PSP) challenged the beneficiaries in his welcome remarks to aim high to be able to fulfill their dreams. Mr. Alvin S. Mojica, PSP Chairman, likewise inspired the students by calling them "the best among the best" since out of seven thousand online scholarship applicants, only 668 were chosen. He also thanked PSWDO, Provincial Treasurer's Office, the PSP Secretariat, COPS and PICAD for giving support to the said event.
Mr. Louie Rolle, Executive Assistant to the Governor narrated that he was also once a scholar of then Governor Johnny Remulla. After finishing his studies, he paid back by working for the Provincial Government, for the three Remulla Governors and Congressman Gilbert Remulla. Lastly, he asked the scholars to use their talents to be respected members of the community and to uplift the standard of living not only for themselves but their whole family as well. (PICAD)

This a a story that is really far along on my board, but I have decided to start posting it. Its a dark and very porny little story that is odd as hell. If you don't like dirty, don't read! Enjoy!
As I sit here in my bed, I still can't believe it. He's right here. I look down, and there he is, his dark brown curls laying on my egyptian cotton pillowcase. His deep blue eyes, covered by tired, heavy lids. He is here, in my bed. A place where boys are not allowed to sleep. A place that is saved for me. But yet, I can't make him go. And I don't want to.
It's quite an crazy tale. A mixture of mischief and porny thoughts. And from porny thoughts, comes porny actions. It was something that was never supposed to happen. It was something that I swore I would never do. But sometimes you put your foot in the water, and you can't help but take a bath. He did that to me. He pulled me in and under. And it was worth it.
It all started in an odd way. It wasn't him in the beginning. Life had to take just the right path, and I had to make just the right choices. I did. Took the path of most resistance you could say, because it sure as hell wasn't easy. It was a secret emotional roller coaster that was never supposed to be. And now I will tell you my story. Because It wants to be told.
Apparently I had a new cousin. Now me saying this, you would probably assume that I am saying I have a new baby in the family. Not so much. My father's sister, had adopted a child. But he isn't a child. He was a boy. A teen. A young adult. Sixteen. Too old to adopt. But she was saving him. A friend of the family, who's parents were gone. Dead. Gone. And she saved him. Saved him from the system. Saved him from himself. And now I have to deal with him.
I was nonchalant. Like I was better than him. I would show up late. At the holidays, everyone gathers to my grandparent's house. The funny thing is, this is my father's parents, and he's not around. Apparently, he found it necessary to run off with another family and leave me with my evil bitch mother. No one talked about it. Grandma was in denial. My mother didn't care. She was probably partially responsible for the downfall. So I have no dad. And no one knows where he is. And thus there is a big gray area... Which ironically is my last name. I am Meredith Grey.
They were there for three days before I showed up. I didn't need to come crawling over there giving hugs and pretending life was wonderful. It's not. In fact, I have a saying... Life blows. And not in the good way. Not in the suck your cock hard and drink you down because I like the way to taste sort of way. No, it blows more in the cock slap you until you are bruised and bloody way. And if you don't agree with that, then good for you. Obviously your life hasn't blown.
So three days. And then I show up. I walk in there like I am the boss. This kid is pissing on my territory. I am princess here. I have already talked about it. Negotiations. I actually had them. Fifty percent. He was entitled to fifty percent of what I got. If I got three hundred dollars, he would get one-fifty. Period. I got more. I am boss. I am princess.
There he was. He stuck out. Literally. Not his cock! Seriously. I swear he had glue in his hair. No. He really had glue in his hair. I know what you are thinking. It was not gel. It was Elmer's. The poor damn horse that contributed to that bottle was fucked. Now he was on a horny sixteen year old's head. He was awkward. I had to laugh. I had to. It was white, like cum. Cum in his hair. Who was he blowing?
"Hey." He said to me. Seriously... Was he really talking to me? "I'm Mark."
"I'm Meredith." I muttered as he stuck out his hand. Awesome dude. What are you, fifty?
"I heard you don't like hugs... So..." He muttered sheepishly. Who had the upper hand? I have the upper hand. He is sheepish.
My aunt came up and gave me a hug. I hate hugs. I do not like the physical touch. I have issues. I have reasons. And I don't talk about it, period. Don't like it? Too damn bad.
My family is so fucking fake it makes me sick. Everyone is happy. Do they not know that people are dying? Do they not know that life sucks? Yeah. Blows, remember? That is how my family is. Let's all be happy, pass the fucking gravy. And me, I want to splash the steaming hot goop in their face and cause burns on their flesh. Blisters. Yeah, apparently I am dark too. I forgot to mention that.
It went on like this. Let's gather around the t.v. and glue our eyes so we don't have to talk about the shit, like my father running off. Or that Mark's parents are dead. Still don't know why... Probably drowned in glue. So we sit in a haze. A Grey haze. We are so talented.
Mark was annoying. Damn annoying. I learned this in the days that I spent with him. I heard that boys at that age are extremely immature. I found that out first hand. Everything was I hate you. I hate you or whining. He couldn't drive because my aunt and uncle wouldn't let him while we were on vacation. That meant I got to drive him around. At first I hated it. But then it got better.
Mark was fun. Fun in a really immature way that made me act like a fool. We were stupid. We were loud. He made me into a fool. He was always screwing with me. There was something about that huge foot in my mouth that made me mean. That made me hateful and out for blood. Just what he needed. I did what I had to as his oversized body smashed mine.
"Ouch!" Mark yelled as I bit him in the arm.
"Quit being a little bitch." I laughed as I looked up at him.
"No fucking teeth!" He said quickly. "It fucking hurts."
"Yeah, I know. That's why I did it. Like I want your sock in my mouth, ass!" I spit back, only to receive glares from the family. Apparently they don't like my newfound immaturity.
I try to act normal, but something about Mark draws me in. Yeah, he's an immature little ass... But he pulls me in. I feel comfortable around him. Maybe it's because I am so busy with my responsibilities that I don't have time to have a life. I pretend I don't like him. It's my way. I know nothing else. So there I sit, pretending I don't notice him, but really wanting his attention.
"Hey... You want to go to a movie?" He asks as he looks over.
"Yeah... I guess. Whatever." I tell him with a shrug. Yes, get me away from this hell. Away from these people. He quickly walks off after we decide on a movie. Just as a drain my grandfather of all his hard earned money, my aunt walks up.
"Thanks... For going. Mark has had a rough life. He's gone through some major stuff. So thanks for going easy on him." She says with a smile.
"You owe me." I spit nastily, even though it is a complete lie. He is saving me from them.
Just as I sit back, I see him coming towards me. So apparently the glue that was in his hair was now replaced with gel. He looked like an idiot. I'm not sure what he was trying to accomplish, but whatever it was, it was unsuccessful. Or at least I should hope it was.
I drove. He can't, so yay me. And that meant System of a Down so loud that I couldn't think. I couldn't hear a thing. All I could do was wait for the lights and sirens as he hung out the window and screamed at cars passing by. I couldn't help but laugh. He was freaking nuts. Apparently, blowing kisses and flirting with men in the other cars was his idea of fun. And it was even better way of almost getting his ass kicked.
When we get to the theatre, I try to keep my distance. I have never been on a date. This was not a date. This was my cousin. Even if there wasn't a drop of blood relation between us, it was still odd. I didn't want people to actually think I had anything to do with this freak show. So I stood as far away from him as he paid for our tickets. He paid. The money from grandpa... I so kept that shit. He paid, I stayed away. Yes, I am not with him. Nope. Not me.
"Popcorn?" Mark asked as he handed me the tub.
"Eh... Okay." I said quickly. Let it go straight to my ass. I was next to him. My original thought was not to sit with him. Two seats over. But then that would just be really weird.
"My friend... Fucking crazy. Once he stuck his cock in the tub of popcorn." Mark started. Oh god... Seriously? Random. Way random. Why even bring that shit up? "Through the bottom. His girlfriend reached in, started jacking him off."
"Okay. First of all, here. I think I lost my appetite." I say as I hand him the popcorn back. All of a sudden it doesn't sound good. No creamy white butter for me. Even if it does add to the saltiness. "Secondly that is such bullshit. How did he get it in there? I doubt he poked a hole with his cock. If he did, he is the man of steel, and I want to fucking meet him. He had to have had a knife or something. And that makes no sense. And I doubt if he did cut a hole in the container and stick his stupid cock in the buttery mess, that his girlfriend just jacked him off. She would have freaked. The first thought that would come to one's mind is not, "Oh, there is a cock in this tub, my boyfriend's cock, let's give him a hand job." It would be "Holy shit! What's in there?" That story is bullshit, Mark!" I spat as he I looked at him.
He looks at me like I'm nuts. Apparently he has been around my family for too long. The silent ones. They would sit there in silence. They would hear his little story and they would shake their heads like they actually heard him. They don't listen. They never listen. That is why I don't talk. And if I do, it's no mistake. I mean what I say.
"Wow." He says as he looks over at me. "You are a little nuts."
"Yeah." I say with a shrug.
"Well, that's what he told me." Mark mutters as the theatre goes dark.
The movie sucked. It sucked hairy balls. I hated it. He had knack for picking out sucky movies, I'd find out. It was supposed to be funny. It had it's occasional funny moments, but in all, it sucked. And I couldn't wait to get out of there.
When we got out from the horrible movie, we rush outside. Just as we make towards my car, he bends down. Crap. Snow. He has snow. Before I can even react, it hits me in the face. That pissed me off. Instead of fighting back, I am so much smarter. I rush to the car and jump in, locking the doors.
"What now, fucker?" I yell as I look up at him.
First he bangs on the window. I flip him off and smile. Now what does he think. He was so fucking smart... Not now. Not now. That is, until he got on my car. Oh yeah, he was jumping on my Jeep. I rolled down the window. I am going to kill him.
"Get the fuck down!" I start screaming. Nope. He doesn't. He proceeds with his stupid little game.
I'm going to kill him. I am sure of that. I quickly jump out and climb up there with him. "Get off my car."
"Come on, drive me around!" He whines as I look at him.
"No. Let's go. Off the car. Now." I yell as I glare at him.
"Nope." He laughs as he looks at me. Apparently he underestimates my size. Apparently he has no idea.
"Have it your way." I say frankly as I shove my weight into him, sending him off the roof.
"You bitch!" He yells from his new place on the ground. I can't blame him, he just fell on the hard blacktop. It may have had and inch of snow covering it. Maybe.
"Fuck you. I warned you!" I yell loudly as I look down at him.
"I can play this." He warns me as he climbs in my Jeep. Before I can even get down, the car is started and he is driving. I grab onto the roof rack and start screaming.
"I'm going to die, you mother fucker!" I yell loudly. I could die. I really could. He is doing donuts in the snow. People are gone. No one is around to save me. I scream loudly. But then it hits me. This is fun. Really fun. "Faster!" I yell loudly. If I am going to die, this is the way.
We took turns. Yep. Its a game. I do not recommend it. It doesn't always end well. Luckily ours does. But it was fun. He does that. He makes me do crazy things. For the first time in awhile, I am having fun. We finally stop. Its late. Really late. We really should go back.
"So... What do you want to do next?" He asks with a grin. So much trouble, so little time.
Sometimes, you just want to drive. You just want to avoid the world. Especially at night, it's easy, less traffic, less confusion. So we drove, looking for somewhere to go. Something to do. I liked my time with him. The other side of my crazy family was actually getting jealous of the fun I was having. Mind you, I did not speak of said fun. Nor did I give them details. They did that. They wanted me all to themselves. I mean, who doesn't want constant negativity and cruelty in their lives?
I was counting down the days until he went home. Christmas went well. He did get fifty percent. Everyone knew better than to mess with me on those grounds. The sad thing was, he really appreciated everything he got. Me, I toss it aside, "Where is the next?" But Mark wanted his things. He appreciated it all. He was happy to be accepted. And as much as I hated to admit it, I was accepting him.
"How about here?" I ask him as we pull into a late night diner.
"Sounds good, I'm hungry." Mark agrees with a nod as I stopped the car.
We sit down across from each other. It's getting more comfortable. I am not as self conscious about people wondering about us. I realized that people didn't care. Why would they? Admittedly, I have issues. And at this moment, I am not changing. I am embracing those issues. I like pain. Pain is weakness leaving the body.
"So what are you having?" I ask as I look across the table at him.
"I don't know... I wanted mexican." He whines as he looks into my eyes.
"Well, you could have told me that before I came here. You said this was fine." I told him frankly. "We are here now. I think I am going to have a burger."
"Yeah, that sounds good." He agrees as he looks at the menu. "Bacon cheeseburger."
"I like my steaks medium-rare. But burgers, they need to be well done. They are all squished up and processed. Not a solid piece of meat, you know?" I ask as I look up.
"Uh huh..." He mutters as he looked at his menu.
The waitress comes, and we order. He orders a burger. Rare. He obviously did not listen to my whole statement. Typical boy. Typical not listening boy. I hope he enjoys his raw cow parts on a bun. He was trying to impress me. He was trying to be like me. He wanted me to like him. That way he too could stay away from the bore-fest. He liked me. I could tell.
"So... Your mom and dad are dead." I say frankly. Way to be compassionate. That's me.
"Yeah." He mutters. It stings. I can see it in his light blue eyes.
"That sucks. Sorry." I say nicely. "Life really sucks."
"I'm- It's okay." He tells me as he draws in a breath.
"My mom is never around. She's a surgeon, but that is all she cares about. She used to want my to follow in her footsteps. Now she has given up on me. I am a disappointment. I haven't seen her in months. It was Christmas, and I didn't see her. And my dad, well, he's off with his other family." I offer up as I look at him.
"Sorry." He mutters, softly and genuinely.
"So was it rough?" I ask him as I look across the table.
"Yeah. It was like one day I had parents. The next day they were gone." He explains. "I slit my wrists. I tried to kill myself." He tells me quickly. He too is dark. There is more to him than meets the eye.
"Did you do it the right way?" I ask as I sip my soda. Who asks that? Me. Dark and twisty Meredith asks that.
"Along the vein. Vertically... Yeah." He tells me as he shows me his wrists.
"If your gonna do it-" I start.
"Do it right." He finishes with me.
"Yeah." I mutter as I look into his somewhat sad eyes. No wonder he is immature. He is just as fucked as I am. "My life is fucked to. I have issues. Shit's happened." I explain. I can't open up. But I can make an offer to him. I can let him see that he isn't the only one. I have skeletons too.
The waitress comes up and brings his burger. It is well done. I think she thought he was joking. Or she screwed up the order. Either way, he looked relieved. We drifted somewhat away from the dark and twisty conversation. We needed to. But we were a reflection of fucked up pasts. Before we leave, I pay the bill. Just one small offering. We are kindred spirits. I like him. I really do.
I have horses. I think it was something my mom encouraged me to do, just to get rid of me. She could dump me off at the farm, and forget about me. I mean, I like them, I love them. But it's a huge responsibility. And now I have them. And to add even more joy, I get to take care of them. It's go to school and take care of them. My mom doesn't care about where I am at, or what I am doing. She pays the bills and forgets I am even alive.
Mark wanted to go with me. Why, I'm not really sure. But he said to wake him up. Any means necessary. That was really the wrong thing to say. I look up at the clock. It's time. It's eight already. I should have been up earlier, but I was already up all night. I quickly get myself ready and walk into Mark's room.
"Oh my god..." I mutter as I begin laughing. Mark is in the bed, completely uncovered, with his balls in his hands. Under his boxers, but definitely some ball-hand action going on. I walk up to the bed and kick the mattress. "Hey... Mark. Get up." I say loudly as I look down at him. Any means necessary. He is a deep sleeper.
I chuckle to myself. If he knew how I really was, he would have never said that. I rushed up the stairs and into the kitchen. My grandma is already muttering something about breakfast. She has this need to feed everyone. Everyone. It doesn't matter who it is. She must feed. And I must ignore. I quickly grabbed as much ice as I could handle and trotted back down the stairs. I placed the ice on he bed and winced. Good fun to be had. With one hand I lift the boxers, the other, the ice. I close my eyes and throw it in.
"Ahhh!" He yelled loudly as he jumped up. "What the fuck?" He screams as he jumps around, attempting to get it out.
"You said any means. I tried for twenty-minutes." I lie as I look at him.
"I didn't mean that. Not ice! Messing with a guy's package could get you killed, you know." He warned me as I stood there.
"Eh... It was worth it. Besides, I closed my eyes. I was afraid I would pass out at the freakishly small sized manhood you have." I giggle as I looked at him.
"Funny. It's not small. Not by any means." He says frankly.
I'd imagine he is right. I will admit it. I look. I want to know. Just short of walking up and asking someone how big their cock is, I try to figure it out. Mark's a big guy. I didn't want that cock. Even if we are not really related, he was becoming friend and family. But that didn't mean I didn't take a little look. It's big, I'm sure of it. How big, I will never know.
"Yeah... Like I care. Come on, we have to go." I tell him frankly as I look towards the door.
"I just got up." He whines as he pulls a shirt over his head.
"And I care. Look, you wanted to go. The horses want to eat. Let's go." I tell him quickly as I start to walk away.
"So horses come first?" He asks loudly.
"Of course horses come first. They can't feed themselves, and they are waiting on me." I tell him as I push his door shut.
I march up the stairs. I know he is on my tail. He follows me like a puppy. I pounced on him, I am the boss. I am the alpha mare. I am the bitch. I win. And here he comes, I can hear his big dumb ass following me up. We walk through the kitchen and I see grandma ready to serve.
"Ready for breakfast? She asks softly.
"Nope. Have to go to the barn." I spit as I walk off.
"No breakfast?" Mark whined as he looked up and followed.
"No." I grumble as I continue to the door and pull on my boots.
"Here, get yourself something." Grandma tells Mark as she hands over a twenty dollar bill.
"Thanks, grandma." Mark said with a smile.
Whoa there. What the hell was that? Grandma. No. She is my grandma. We just picked him up alongside the road. He can't come in here and call her grandma. What the hell was that? Ah, that just makes me mad. I clench my jaw as I look at him. At least he is only entitled to fifty-perfect. Haha, sucker.
"Whoa! Grandma?" I ask him quickly.
"Well, yeah... She is my grandma too." Mark tells me with a nod.
"No. No, she is not. They are not. You are an extra." I mutter as I look up. "You can't wear those." I said with a chuckle as I look at him pulling on his tennis shoes.
"Why not?" He asks as he looks at me.
"Are you freaking kidding me? Have you looked outside? There is four inches of snow out there. Whatever. Freeze. I don't care." I mutter as we walk outside. "Besides, your feet are so big, it's like you have snow shoes on anyway. Skis..." I laugh as I start the car. "Clean the car off." I tell him as I throw him the ice scraper. He takes it and goes to work. Now this is fun. My own slave.
"So how many horses do you have?" Mark asks as we drive down the road.
"Two. But my friend Izzie, has one there too." I explain as we go along.
"So you've had horses for a long time?" He asks as he looks over.
"I have been riding since I was seven." I tell him as I look over.
"You come out here everyday?" He questions quickly.
"Twice a day." I mutter as we near.
This would be fun. I was convinced that this would be the most fun I had ever had. Or the most torture put on another person from my hand. I pull up into the snowy mess. And it is. The four inches that has been dumped on us is no fun. Mark looks around with a frown on his face. I'm not really sure what he expected, but I have a feeling this was not it.
"Here." I tell him as I hand him a muck rake. "Start cleaning."
"Are you kidding me?" He asks as he looks into my eyes.
"Does it look like I am?" I growl as I put my hands on my hips.
"I'll get shit on my shoes." He whines as he looks down.
"Waa... I have to feed. And watch that one, he kicks." I lie as I walk away with a smile on my face.
"It's okay, horsey..." I hear him saying. "Just don't kick me."
I go on with my work, making sure that he does his own. I quickly let the horses out and began helping clean the stalls. He cannot do it. He has absolutely no skills. But the fun has just begun. I walk over and take the rake out of his hand.
"What?" He asks as he looks at me.
"You suck at this. I need you to fill my trough." He begins to laugh. "I did not mean that in a porny way! See that five gallon bucket... Start filling." I say quickly.
"Where is it?" He asks as he flips the water hydrant on.
"On the west side of the barn." I mutter as I turn my head and silently chuckle to myself. It wasn't long before he comes back in in a huff. "What's wrong?" I ask with a giggle.
"The fucking fence shocked me! And that thing... It's huge!" He spits out.
"Just 150 gallons. It won't take any time at all." I tell him frankly.
"30 trips! Don't you have a hose?" He asks as he looks at the hose before him.
"It's frozen. Get to work." I demand as I look at the bucket in his hand. "And it cuts down on time, if you fill another while you are dumping."
"He grumbles before he gets to work. The crazy thing is, he is doing it. If it were me, it would be a simple fuck off, do it yourself. But he goes to work, And he continues to work. He fills all 150 gallons. Then I put him to work dumping the wheelbarrows of manure. Just a quick 200 yard trek through the rutty, four inch with snow deep land to the manure pile. I watch as he makes the three trips, falling all over the place, almost breaking his leg. So much fun.
"Can we go?" Mark asks as he walks out of the wind, and into the barn. "Please?"
"Yeah, we can go." I agree as I let him lead the way. Then it hits me. It's the bit of evil in my veins. The devil within. I grab the five and a half foot lunge whip, with the six foot lash. I can't help it. I raise it up and crack it on his leg. I know it stings, but it won't kill him.
"What the fuck!" He yells as I continue to beat him. It really shouldn't be this much fun, but damn-it if it isn't. "That's it!"
"Hey!" I yell as he runs after me, chasing me down the aisle, somehow tacking me to the ground. We wrestle around for awhile. I have to. He is the best way to get out my frustrations. He quickly rips it from my hand and gives me several good cracks. I really shouldn't enjoy it. But I do. I like a little pain with my pleasure. I would find that out later.
And that was how it was. That was my first introduction to my new cousin. He was immature, but apparently, so was I. He was fun. He was adventurous. He was kind to me, even when I treated him like shit. He made me remember what it was to be a kid, even when I missed my own childhood.
I'll never admit it, but when he left, I was sad. I knew I would miss him. And I did. It was like a void in my life. All the fun and torture was gone. The beatings and the wrestling. I would miss it. But that wasn't the point of the story. Mark was just an avenue to the prize. I would see Mark again in the summer. I would see him when I went to his house. And there I would meet him.
Him? He is the man next to me. That man that has taken me over. The man that has changed everything. He makes me look at life a little differently. He makes me feel things I never felt. The tingle in my core. The burning desire of that thick cock buried deep inside. He has the ability to make me scream his name as I claw his back. He make me cum at a touch. That is the one I speak of.
"What are you doing?" Derek asks as I type frantically.
"Uh, nothing." I tell him as I glance over.
"And what do you want to do?" He asks as he runs his hand over my bare thigh. The touch of his soft, strong hand takes me over. I gasp as he feathers his fingers over my wet mound. Shit. This is what he does. I spread my legs for him. I need him like air. "This?" He asks as he sticks his fingers under my panties and tickles my clit.
Uh... I think I have to go... Wouldn't you like to know!

Rokbar Miami Reopens on South Beach After a 14-Month Closure
See also "Rokbar Closes After Seven Years."
When iconic South Beach party spot Rokbar closed in 2011, the time was right.
It had enjoyed a seven-year run -- an eternity by SoBe nightclub standards -- with plenty of noteworthy moments.
So perhaps that's why news of the Rokbar's reopening came as a surprise to us.

In its original incarnation, celebrity sighting were common -- Josh Hartnett, Courtney Love, Mickey Rourke, and Lil Jon, just to name a few -- but the velvet rope wasn't always a hassle.
The lounge brought together a motley crew (pun intended) of A-listers, tourists, hipsters, and everyone in between. And the place had an intimate atmosphere that blurred the line between VIPs and the common clubgoer.
Rokbar 2.0 is only two months old and it doesn't look much different than the last remodel, which brought a bit Daft Punk style (black leather, gold trims, and futuristic screens) to the space.
The only major difference is those 10-foot tall images of models behind the bar are gone, replaced with shelving for premium liquor. Also, the ledge behind the sofas where many an inebriated party girl liked to dance has been widened and given a different backdrop -- a spectacular LED-framed guitar that's reflected ad inifinitum thanks to some well-placed mirrors.
"We don't want to pay celebrities to come to our place," says managing partner and owner Hershey Jakob. "We want to bring Rokbar back like when it first opened."
Jakob says Gym Class Heroes' Travie McCoy stopped by to celebrate his birthday earlier this month. And as soon as the high season kicks in, he expects more celebrity clients.
But why not start from scratch and bring in a new concept to the space? "If I was going to do something different, I would have just gone somewhere else."
Still, equalling Rokbar's epic past will be a difficult task. Acts like MSTRKRFT, Neon Indian, LA Riots, Cut Copy, and the Misshapes all contributed to the lounge's distinctive edge in the early days. And it was that edge that always made that club a welcome anomaly on Collins Avenue.
However, with South Beach currently locked in the low season, Rokbar is only open on Fridays and Saturdays. So it would be unfair for us to heap any hasty criticism on it. Especially since this place, even with its cheesy Tommy Lee past, holds a special place in Crossfade's collective (and blurry) nightlife memory.
Here's hoping the new owners honor the glory days of Rokbar.

Astre Valley Appliance Repair is most recommended friendly neighborhood service technician
Rockaway, NJ – When asked to recommend an appliance service provider, area residents, their children and grandchildren will say Astre Valley Appliance Repair is the one to call. Astre Valley Appliance Repair has served Northern New Jersey residents for over 50 years. It's as if this is they are the only appliance maintenance service in the area.
In many cases, change is necessary as children grow up and learn new skills related to advancements in technology. However, when it comes to home appliance repair, no changes are necessary. 3 generations of families say Astre Valley Appliance Repair has visited their neighborhood on many occasions and is the only appliance maintenance provider they know about.
According to the owner, Fred Moscatello, consumers appreciate old-fashioned customer service from a local home service provider. "We have live operators answer the phone and we offer same-day appliance repair service," said Moscatello. "People take their appliances for granted and they count on them to perform. No one wants to wait a few days or a week to get things working again."
Astre Valley Appliance Repair Wayne NJ has the largest stock of fast moving and discontinued appliance parts in Northern New Jersey so they offer same-day service and emergency appliance repair. They also offer the following appliance maintenance tips to their customers:
Washing Machine Maintenance: Level the machine to keep it from rocking and vibrating
Oven and Range Maintenance: The control panel should be cleaned with special products designed for this purpose. Never spray cleaners directly onto the control panel. Instead, spray onto a rag and wipe the surface.
Appliance Accessories: Many appliance parts like drip pans, knobs and racks will wear out over time and can easily be replaced. Check the service manual for ordering instructions.

Brief Brand History for Mauboussin:
Mauboussin is the French equivalent to Tiffany or Cartier. In other words, they are renowned throughout Europe for their beautiful and luxurious jewelry. Exquisite pieces have been created by designers of this family run business since 1827. For anyone desiring beautiful jewelry that is unique and beautiful, this company has the reputation of being one of the top jewelry houses in the world. In order to appeal to a wider variety of consumers during the end of the Twentieth Century, the company began to integrate the concept of light and shadow into their jewelry, including the Maubossin luxury watches.
Product Line Overview:
In conjunction with its fabulous lines of designer jewelry, Mauboussin luxury watches were launched in 1994. This company delighted in using fine jewels to decorate its beautiful watches. One of the most popular collections is the 'Mauboussin Fouga Chronograph' series which has a variety of materials integrated into the colors of the watch as well as the strap. The rectangular dial is very distinctive. Another favorite timepiece is the 'Mauboussin Ladies M' model. No matter which models you prefer, you will always feel like you are in the lap of luxury if you are wearing a Mauboussin luxury watch.
Many of these elegant timepieces have exquisite designs in materials such as mother of pearl, onyx, and other jewels that contrast beautifully with the diamonds that may be on the face, on the bezel or surrounding the edges of the bracelet or decorating the entire bracelet. The 'Mauboussin Lady M' watch comes in both Maxi and Mini so that you can find the perfect fit. If you love to wear a watch and love jewelry but find it too much to wear both at the same time, then a Mauboussin luxury watch will combine both desires into one beautiful statement of stunning and classic elegance. If jewelry is your passion, then Mauboussin is the company you should be looking at to find the distinctive piece that is right for you.

Credit Card Center Advertiser Disclosure†
I *just* removed a dispute through Transunion (as in this week). I called one of the CS numbers that I found here on myFICO. the lady I spoke to was SUPER helpful! She told me to send TU a fax with my report number (she was able to give me that while on the phone), last 4 of my ss# and a statement that I agreed with what was being reported, and no lnger disputed it. It took about 48 hours and the dispute was removed.
The fax # was: 714-525-0668
That fax # is TU's official fraud fax number, good info mom to Kaden & Ella.
Information that is needed to determine if you qualify for a mortgage
Thank you so much! This is my first visit to this message board and it definitely won't be my last. You all are very, very helpful and knowledgeable!
Just an update...
Called EX a few moments ago and talked to a very nice CSR named Sally and she immediately removed the notations from my accounts and is sending me a confirmation by email shortly.
Called EQ and they informed me that because of my location I would need to deal with CSC Credit Services. He gave me a phone number for them (800-392-7816) but it is a recording that gives me their online and mailing info and then it hangs up. If any of you have any good contact info for CSC I would appreciate it.
TU... I faxed them on Friday and nothing yet today but hopefully we'll see the notations removed within the next day or two. If not, I guess I will give them a call.
Think this is better info for CSC.
I have also heard 281-878-4848, 281-878-1900, 800-305-7868 have all worked at one point.
Also found this post that has a ton of CSC contact info:
Information that is needed to determine if you qualify for a mortgage
Not having much luck with CSC for my EQ report. They say they have to get approval from the CA's to remove it since they're the ones who added it. I told her EX did it yesterday with no problems but she didn't budge. Ugh. But she submitted my dispute for me.
Still nothing from TU.
EX was gone this morning.
I went ahead and called TU to see what they would do. While asking her about these accounts, she said they are already being disputed and I should receive a response by April 17th. So apparently faxing the paper to TU did the same thing that EQ is doing... a regular dispute and we have to wait and see what the CA's do about it.
i had some accounts with notations that i was disputing account information. i called all 3 bureaus this morning. experian immediately removed them because the comments were in the consumer statement sections. both transunion and equifax opened up disputes to remove them. said the investigations should take about 30 days. equifax did however state that it may be sooner because it wasn't really a dispute.and to think i didn't even know those comments were an issue when applying for a mortgage; they have been sitting on my reports since 2009!
Good luck!
I got my letter from TU yesterday saying "New Information Below" for the 4 accounts on my TU report I need that removed from and I don't see anything updated besides an current Date Verified.
ACCOUNT IN DISPUTE is still there!!! Ugh!!!
I am in the same spot, have an account we disputed 6 months ago stating "dispute settled, consumer disagrees"..
We have just applied for a mortgage, now realizing this will be a problem.. I called EX and they removed it like others have said, still on TU and EQ.. I have faxed in a request to the CCC to have this removed (last weekend), should I also dispute it now and get the ball rolling with the other 2? Or just of let it sit and see what the LO says ?

Multiple users in my organization are having a problem with Spiceworks Dashboard items not refreshing when using Firefox. Specifically new tickets do not show up in Unassigned Tickets or on My Open Tickets unless we manually refresh the page in Firefox. I have verified that those widgets are configured to refresh every 1 minute. The refresh for these widgets works with no problem in IE7, but I have found that on my machine IE7 loads the Spiceworks pages considerably slower than Firefox, so I prefer not to use that as my work-around.
Any assistance with troubleshooting or correcting this would be greatly appreciated. I have Spiceworks version 3.6.33156 and am using Firefox version 3.0.10 (I have tried disabling all Firefox addons and it did not help).
This topic was created during version 3.6.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Niagara Technology Group (NTG) is an IT service provider.
Have you tried another browser? Is that having the same problem? Chrome, for example.
May 20, 2009 at 9:35 UTC
I just checked with a couple other users here in my organization, and it does appear to work in both Chrome and IE for us, but not in Firefox.
I have also noticed that when we first start Firefox and go to the dashboard the FIRST auto refresh of the dashboard widget will work, but subsequent ones will not (forcing us to manually refresh the page). If we close and restart Firefox we will again get one auto-refresh of the widget before we have to resort to manually refreshing the page again. Strange.

Forwarding to the Orange guys.
May 20, 2009 at 11:18 UTC
Does this occur with ALL users who access Spiceworks with Firefox? Do you have any users who are not having this problem with Firefox?
May 20, 2009 at 11:22 UTC
Also - would you say your problems mirror these?
May 20, 2009 at 11:56 UTC
So far this behavior has been exhibited on every user in our environment that I have checked with so far. As far as I have been able to determine we do not have any Firefox users whose widgets are refreshing correctly.
Yes, my problem is similar to the one listed in the link above. However, in my case the tickets are not updating at all - no new tickets show up, closed or reassigned tickets don't disappear from their respecitve widgets, and tickets that have updated comments do not show up with the orange circle next to them. Note that all of these actions seem to work as expected in IE and Chrome. It appears to only be a problem in Firefox.
May 20, 2009 at 12:04 UTC
To add additional information: I just noticed that IE (just upgraded to IE8 this morning to further test this) reports that there were script errors on the page. The refreshing works fine in IE, but in case the script errors are somehow relevant I have included them below (if they aren't relevant please ignore with my apologies).

Assuming everyone runs the same version of Firefox (3.0.10) - have you tested a different version? This most likely is not related to the current stable build, but just in case;
3.5b4 can be downloaded here:
May 20, 2009 at 4:33 UTC
I just updated my machine to Firefox version 3.5b4, and am still experiencing the problem. After starting Firefox it seems that the first automatic refresh of the tickets widgets suceeds, and then I must manually refresh the browser from that point on to see any subsequent updates.
May 20, 2009 at 5:33 UTC
I have one more thing to try - go back to 3.0.10 and try running Firefox in safe mode. Do you have the same problem there? Is that what you meant by "disabling all plugins"?
I will also test for this in the latest release of Spiceworks 4.0b, and on the production release of 3.6.
May 20, 2009 at 6:05 UTC
Strange - this worked for me in Spiceworks 3.6, but not in Spiceworks 4.0.
Have you ever seen it working on 3.6 in your environment on Firefox?
May 20, 2009 at 6:20 UTC
It has not worked in our environment on Firefox. However, this is a new installation of Spiceworks, so I don't have any historical information to compare it with.
May 21, 2009 at 3:51 UTC
I think I have the same problem…. I mostly use IE8 though.
My time line doesn't show new events at all and I have a script error while using IE8.
Using FireFox doesn't solve the timeline refresh problem.
I even tried deleting the time line event completely… still stuck.
What is the info I need to provide to help expedite the solution to this problem?
May 21, 2009 at 11:17 UTC
I have put in a ticket with dev to take a look at this. Thanks for the hard work.

The dog days of summer are dragging on . . . and my 36-week pregnant ankles (that look more like elephant legs) are proof. There is a local drive-thru restaurant called Sonic that has "Happy Hour" from 2-4 pm each day and all drinks are half-price. One of my favorite drinks is their Cherry Limeade. I have spent WAY more than I should on their yummy drinks, but on a hot summer day it just sounds so good!
Add ice as wanted . . . mine melted very fast because it was so hot outside!

A daily glance inside the numbers from the world of sports:
• Monday Night Football marked the second game this season in which the Patriots, who lost to the Colts 40-21, allowed at least 40 points at home. They lost to the Chargers at the "Big Razor" 41-17 on Oct. 2. Before this season only four defending Super Bowl champions had allowed 40-plus points in a home game. No team had done it more than once in a season, and no team had done it at all since the 49ers beat the Giants at the Meadowlands in 1987, 41-21 (in a replacement players game -- the last time it happened to the "real" defending champs was when the Chargers won in San Francisco in 1982, 41-37).
