Chapter 2: Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangster
You can tell by my everyday fits that I ain't rich. I'm just another zinaman caught up in the mix. Trying to take your gold and your copper bits. Yeah, yeah, that's me.
See, I'm the bad guy, understand? That ain't never phased me though. Even still, being the bad guy and all, I couldn't help but see the irony of finding myself on my knees before the Avatar, accepting his accolades for my, what was it, "commendable service during the war". Weren't just the nomad neither. Earth King What's-His-Name be standing to his right and the charred dragon princeling to his left. Look at these goody-goody fools congratulating me, calling me an unsung hero, a benison to all of Mo Ce Shi. I'm not entirely sure what a "benison" is, but I can tell by the way Lord Beads-and-Glasses said it that it most probably don't apply to me. You hear them tell it, I personally was the only thing standing between every man and woman with a bit of green in their eyes from all the fires across the pond. Then again, for all I know, maybe I was.
Look at 'em all, actors. Kowtowing and glad-handing. Acting like I ain't every bit a smuggler and extortionist. Acting like they wouldn't be sending me on a magistrate mandated vacation out to Koh Tralach for the same "heroism" they're honoring me for now. Wouldn't be no mentionable difference between them and the dragons but the color of the banners. I'd be the same, city'd be the same, they'd be the same sans a few sideburns. The only real change is I'd be called a villain then, not a hero. Might sound odd for a man in my position to say, but I got myself respect for heroes. Heroes don't live happy lives most times. Not long ones neither. Being a hero means laying yourself down so others don't have to. Even a lowdown Pig Pen hustler like myself can admire that. I might rethink my position on heroes now that I know the title can be had with a turning of the color wheel.
Maybe this little cenobite don't know. Some of them, one of them at least, have got to know. Maybe they all know and they just think I'm going to stop now. Yeah, yeah, I could see that. They be thinking I was defying the Fire Nation because it was the Fire Nation. That might could be. But have they consider that I might just be defiant? Oh no, it's all so simple in their eyes. I might be the bad guy, but them dragons were the worse guys, right? So when I wrapped my corrupting hands around the city, when I killed and maimed the gold-eyes that took exception to that, I went and got myself bumped up to good guy to this inky monk, right? Being on the side of truth, justice, and the Earth Kingdom way once, how could I go back to my criminality? Especially now that they've lifted the yoke of draconian oppression from my shoulders? Yeah, I threw some gunk in the gold-eye war machine, it's true. Helped out plenty of bugs, pigs, and goats too. Even a few 'moles got the ol' Sai Mock helping hand. But that ain't why I did none of it. Not out of love for the Earth Kingdom or hate of the Fire Nation and I ain't do it because it was the right thing to do or nothing like that. I got down in the war to make money, simple and plain. I'm going to keep getting down to make money, simple and plain.
I can see it in their eyes, I can hear it in their voices. They think I'm going to stop. Oh yeah, they be thinking I'm their boy. I done held the city for them, kept it warm and prosperous, and now I'm fixing to just hand it on back for a medal and their gratitude. Can't they see my name and nature tattooed proud and blazing on my arms? The shine of diamonds on my neck, the glimmer of gold in my teeth? The tetsubo strapped to my back? They must be thinking that because there's a boar goring a golden dragon on my left shoulder that them same tusks won't turn on a green badgermole just as easy. I know the dragon king must recognize the catfish on my right arm, the Yasuki family done been a problem in the Fire Nation. Don't worry, my royal friend. Ain't been much love between the Yasuki and me for a few years now. What is it they say about the enemies of your enemies again?
Hold up, I done had myself a thought. Maybe they know what I am, know I weren't planning on changing nothing but the pay-offs, and this whole ordeal is a bribe. Maybe they think they might need me after the war as much as during it. Maybe they think they can speak to me on my level and I'll listen. Maybe after they seen me play they want me on the team. Ain't unwise to keep a bad guy in your pocket just in case. Well, let me just say that I've given out my fair share of bribes, and this here? This wouldn't stop me from saying a mumblin' word. I've heard of some insultingly low bribes, spirits know I've given some insultingly low bribes, but a medallion and a thank you? Gentlemen, let's not embarrass ourselves.
Maybe it ain't a bribe, maybe it's a little threat. They done brought a good bit of the Earth Kingdom Army and the Fire Navy out with them. Nice little show of unified force. Thinking could be I'd reconsider my errant ways in the face of the Avatar and the two biggest militaries in the world. Then again, might could be blasé to bring all this noise to these sorts of ceremonies. Or might could be they thought an uncultured sickleman, such as myself, wouldn't know what pomp and circumstance is called for. What can I say? When they're right, they're right. Don't matter no how. If they want to get bloody it just means the eel wasps out in Body Bay will eat well.
But those are thoughts for tomorrow. Today's a celebration, ain't it?
I've always liked to have myself a good laugh and I like other people to laugh too. I might be a gangster, but ain't no harm in sharing a hearty chuckle when you can. Everything about today is a joke, whether the silk robes standing over me espousing my virtues get it or not. I do hope one of them, an adviser, a retainer, the pretty blue-eye with them hair loopies, the Bei Fong girl, anyone really, picks up on it. It'd be a shame to have the Avatar, the Earth King, and the Fire Lord all together on the steps of a brothel thanking me for excelling at organized crime and let them get away without someone telling them why I couldn't stop smiling the whole time. This ain't no respectable Kocho Island geisha house for adulterous admirals and goatish governors neither, oh no, this here is the seediest bagnio I have. Smack in the middle of Zinatown.
Maybe they won't get it. They all be so young, even the Earth King. Ain't no doubt he's a man, but he couldn't have more than a decade on me. Fire Lord Half-Face looks about my age, but the Avatar? Spirits alive, he's barely begun wiping himself. All so young. And they grew up so soft. A whorehouse might be, how would Jei Lin say it? "Outside of their frame of reference". Jei surely do like his words. Still, so young. Don't matter none how fancy you're born, war'll still grow you up quick.
Now they tell us to stand and it's their turn to kneel, not near so low or so long as we, but ain't much point in arguing over degrees of bowing. Might could be nothing more than the tricks of perspective on the mind, but I can't help but disdain these supposed great men as I look down on them. My mother was born of the great Khans of the north and I've inherited my grandfathers' size. Even after we all straighten our backs I tower over them: the Earth King, the Fire Lord, the Avatar. Such big names. Such tiny men. I like that. I stand above them just as my name stands above theirs in this city. I am Sai Mock. The Mantis. The Mayor of Zinatown. The King of the Pigs. The Oni with the Iron Club. Who are they? Who are these big names with their honor and their fate? They'd be nothing if they were born on the muggy, buggy shores of the Mo Ce Sea.
I know they be looking down their noses at me. At all of us. Even as they break bread with us. Even as they embrace us like long lost kin. I'm a parasite. I fill my coffers feeding people's demons. I'm the Blue Spirit and corruption and intimidation are my dao. They ain't see the honor in what I done. I ain't see the honor in starving virtuously. Fate for an Avatar or a Fire Lord or an Earth King be a mite different than what fate is for bastard boys from the Pig Pen. Fate for us is the bloody flux. It's beatings from Fire Nation magistrates. It's a short life and a painful death. Might could be they don't know that. Might could be they do.
I wouldn't even pay none of that no never mind if it weren't for the hypocrisy. For all I know, they could be right about fate and honor and all that. But they ain't even got the courage of their convictions. Either what I do, don't matter how convenient it is for you and yours, is wrong and you should condemn me or what I do ain't wrong, in which case we won't have no problems and we can all sit back and make some money.
But they won't condemn me and we will have problems. The things they be looking down on me for helped them. So they thank me. Ignore all my crimes as long as I was doing them to people they ain't like. I see them. I see through them. People like them need people like me if they want to win. I'm here for when their ideals go one way and victory goes another. I keep the dirt off their robes and they pretend not to see the blood on my hands. At least until some of that blood is theirs.
They'll give me some time to fit myself into the new order of things. They got bigger bugs to fry. They got a world to build. And all while they be trifling with that, I'll treat their new order just as I treated the old. It's the way of things. So they'll try to stop me. I'll offer them gold or steel, same as I offer anyone. Plenty will take the gold. Plenty will feel the steel. My youth belies how well I've known both, but ain't a doubt that I prefer peace and gold to war and steel. Fate and honor ain't never took heed of my preferences before. I don't expect them to now.
They'll be back. They'll try to push me from throne to my knees. They have to. I won't move a spirits blessed inch for them. For anyone. I refuse to.
Let 'em come. I've stood against hurricanes. Against gangsters. Against lawmen. Against armies. The Pig Pen couldn't kill me. The Liquid Swordsman couldn't kill me. The Yasuki still can't kill me. These silk shirts won't either. I went into the Tong Wars a boy and came out a king. I am exactly who I say I am. My branches reach far and my roots run deep. I'm ready. Let 'em come.

NORTHFIELD - If you ever dined at Celina's Cafe here, you can be sure that you will have a similar experience when you go to Gianna's Cafe, its new incarnation.
Nothing but the name has really changed since Chef Lou Macera and his wife, Theresa, took ownership. And, I am happy to say that I had an equally delicious meal this time as I did when I reviewed Celina's four years ago after it first opened its doors.
All along, Macera has featured engaging menu items for lunch and dinner that have remained consistent and dependable. His focus on healthful, inspired foods - including many vegetarian selections - has been a draw for loyal customers.
This is one of the only restaurants I know of in our community where you will find brown rice as an accompaniment instead of white rice, and tofu made into a palatable main course.
The interior decor has always been pleasant and stylishly appointed. The L-shaped dining room loops around to where Macera and his cooks busily rustle up recipes in an exposed kitchen, from where tantalizing aromas emerge.
To start, our server brought us a basket of soft herbed rolls that had the texture and taste of focaccia, along with a saucer of olive oil spiked with assorted seasonings including red-pepper flakes, a hint of garlic and tiny calamata olives. This was an instance when garlic was used sparingly to enhance the oil's essence, not overpower it, which is how it should be done.
The BBQ chicken-and-smoked gouda pita pizza ($9) was very tasty. Usually I stay away from poultry on pizza, but I wanted to try something with chicken, since we ordered seafood and beef for dinner.
Four triangles of grilled pita bread came topped with diced chicken lightly coated with sweet barbecue sauce and a thin slice of melted gouda cheese, which added a wonderful smokiness to an otherwise ordinary flavor. The combination of sweet and savory worked well in this appetizer and successfully whetted our appetites.
Entrees still come with a house salad, and for a minimal extra charge, soup may be substituted. As always, my guest and I had one of each.
The salad, a mix of lettuces with cucumbers, tomatoes and lots of toasted sliced almonds, comes dressed with fruity, mildly sweet raspberry vinaigrette.
The soup du jour - spilt pea with carrots - was comforting on a wintry night. Not too thick or thin, it was flavorsome without the addition of ham, which is typically how it's made.
Key-lime lobster ($28) arrived in a large bowl brimming with what seemed like an entire lobster cut into manageable, bite-sized, tender pieces sauteed with chunky tomatoes, garlic, cilantro, basil and spicy red pepper atop perfectly cooked linguini, all floating in a lime-butter broth. I loved its citrusy, clean characteristics. Normally, you associate anything key lime with summer, but this dish works year round.
A textbook 12-ounce peppercorn-and-garlic-crusted New York strip steak ($24), glossed with marvelous red-onion marmalade, came sizzling to the table cooked medium-rare as requested. We were taken by its top-notch quality at such a reasonable price.
A fan of crisp grilled asparagus and a mound of roasted-garlic, smashed red-bliss potatoes were ideal companions making this a wonderfully simple, excellent combination.
For dessert, the peanut-butter mousse bombe ($6), coated in thick chocolate ganache and chopped peanuts, was decadent to say the least. Each bite of the creamy mousse paired with such luscious chocolate was like eating one of the best versions of chocolate-peanut butter pie we'd ever tasted. One dessert was more than enough to share after such a fulfilling dinner. Plus, the coffee was as good as we remembered.
Two young servers together handled the entire dining room - greeting, seating, serving and bussing. Ours was charming and very proficient. Nothing was left undone, except that once we had to ask him for a water refill. In the scheme of things, a minor oversight.
Named after Macera's daughter, Gianna's Cafe made a seamless transition in delivering delightful fare that will no doubt continue on.

Ditch the glasses for lifelike 3D
GUN at the ready, you are picking your way through an alien world, tracking an adversary. Spotting your chance, you launch an attack. It takes your foe by surprise, and you've got him cold.
It's the sort of scenario you'll find in any first-person shooter game, but this one is different. For a start, the virtual world is displayed in stunning 3D. And then there's the fact that the player whose on-screen character you have just dispatched is sitting right next to you. Though your opponent is looking at the same screen as you are, they see an entirely different view, tailored to their own virtual character.
Perhaps best of all, neither of you is wearing the clunky spectacles normally required for 3D viewing.
The technology to make most of this happen is already up and running in developers' labs. It relies, like any 3D illusion, on sending a slightly different view of a scene to each eye. In today's 3D movie theatres and the first 3D TV sets, this is done by giving viewers glasses whose lenses let different images through to each eye. But within the next few months the first glasses-free or "autostereoscopic" 3D systems are due to go on sale. One of these will be Nintendo's 3DS hand-held games machine.
Any 3D illusion relies on sending a slightly different view of a scene to each eye
"It is widely rumoured that the 3DS will use 'parallax barrier' 3D technology," says Douglas Lanman, a computer vision researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Lab. This involves dividing the images destined for each eye into thin

i know what that normally means but i can ping and remote control these PC's but i am constanctly getting this error
5 Replies

An RPC error typically has to do with having a Firewall enabled that is not allowing Spiceworks through. This error also can be concerned with WMI and / or DCOM security settings not having the correct privileges.
Below are a couple of links to simple step-action help articles to check this. You've noted that you already looked at WMI settings so this could be related to a Firewall or DCOM settings.
1. Check you have admin rights on the remote machine
2. If you use group policies to configure the XP Firewall - check the policy in computer configuration > Admin Templates > Network > Network connections > Windows Firewall > Domain Profile & Look for "Allow remote administration exception" - if this is disabled - that's probably your problem. If memory serves - this being disabled in group policy and running the netsh command locally - won't change anything on the local machine.
From your Spiceworks host machine, run the command below to see if the nonresponsive machines are responding to WMI commands.
wmic /user:USER_NAME /password:USER_PASSWORD /node:IPADDRESS os get version
When you are done, let us know what kind of outcome you get (OS info, timeout, error).
If a machine gives you an authentication error at this point, run the wmic command on it to see if you can get a response from it using the credentials that you used before. If you get no response; first ensure that the credentials have rights on that machine, then go to that computer and run the Microsoft WMI Diagnostic Utility to see if WMI is configured to run correctly. You can download the utility from Microsoft:
If this doesn't help, are all of these machines staying in the domain, or are the majority of them laptops that wander in and out?

Still having an issue with this even with SW 3.1 installed attached are the results of the wmic test and wmdiag, neither make any sense to me

here is the other attachment

18028 17:21:17 (0) ** => For a .DLL, you can correct the DCOM configuration by executing the 'REGSVR32.EXE <Filename.DLL>' command.
There is one solution presenting itself. You need to register the two DLLs.
DCOM still needs some attention.
From the second file:
User credentials cannot be used for local connections
This means you can't run the command on the local machine - you need to run it against a machine out on the network. Essentially, Spiceworks runs this as
Set SWbemServices = SWbemLocator.ConnectServer(sServer,"root\CIMV2", userid, password)
which is not allowed to run on the local machine. If there was a test scenario for this, you could run it as
Set SWbemServices = SWbemLocator.ConnectServer(sServer,"root\CIMV2")
on the local machine, as long as you are logged into that machine with sufficient privileges.

i can register the 2 dlls, but the user credentials not allowed made no sense, this PC was ghosted with the same image i have used for 50 other PC's but i only get this error on a few, this PC most of the time, but if I do a a manual test of the account i am using half the time SW uses it and fixes the record, half not, then on the next auto scan it comes back with the same error. And when it fails i see if i can ping, tracert and remote to the PC and i can so nothing is blocking SW

Couples therapy can be like inviting someone into your "home," the hidden and sacred space that you and your significant other are sharing. As an invited guest, I strive to maintain a neutral, objective, and gentle perspective, using my training and skills to help you each observe and better manage relational patterns of communion or disconnect. I can flex between the roles of consultant, coach, or therapist to help you learn and practice new ways to empathize with your partner's perspective, communicate effectively, resolve conflict and enjoy healthy connected-ness. I make use of tools such as the Myers-Briggs temperament styles, IMAGO techniques, and the Prepare-Enrich assessment survey.

When couples have problems that they cannot fix, oftentimes they will turn to a therapist to help to sort things out. When a therapist works with a couple, it is the relationship that is the client; not the two people in the relationship. So, when working with a couple, the goal is to help them to understand what is not working in their relationship, and why, and also what to do to improve how they are doing the relationship.

Yesterday, I left the comforts of home in Texas and flew to unknown territory in Nevada.
My entire trip to the second national BLOGGERS AT MIDLIFE conference is sponsored by the amazing talent at ARTFUL HOME, so each outfit has a super star selection from their designers. My gratitude for this opportunity is huge and I love representing such creative genius! Fashion for women over 50 at a high level of design.
I flew in one of my favorites, ARTIST SMOCK SHIRT BY PLANET.
It has been 35 years since I have been to Las Vegas and to say it has changed is an understatement! As we drove past the Eiffel Tower, Statue of Liberty, Sphinx, and glitz galore...I was transfixed on all the new development. While that can be fun, my first sigh of contentment came when I looked at the beautiful room view from
JW MARRIOTT RESORT AND SPA. Truly a breathtaking oasis!
I could live in this room so easily...the beds, closet, room service, spa tub, shower...all top level...I need to snap out of it and prepare for a working conference!
Check out her site for more great pictures from the first evening! First day was about connecting and walking this gorgeous property...I highly recommend the facility... constant beauty and refreshment!
This SERPENT OMBRE A-LINE JACKET is amazing. Gorgeous, lightweight, unique, and the pocket design is to flatter! A fabulous statement piece for women over 50.
Join us both Jennifer and me on Sunday for Hit Your Style Sweet Spot and ways to dress for confidence!
What I have learned today is to look for the flowing springs in the desert...my life after 60 is so much better than I ever thought it would be. I am open to more...experiencing more...discovering creativity...and finding one surprising oasis after another.
Have you found any surprises in your desert lately? Please share any inspiration you have! We will have more from the conference and if you are planning a Las Vegas trip, you simply must consider the JW MARRIOTT RESORT AND SPA!

Forex vps service provides a remote server, which is popular among traders who use automated systems, such as scripts and advisers in trading. With the help of VPS server a trader maintains constant contact with an Internet service provider and obtains a reliable uninterrupted power supply for trading.
Modern technologies of vps server provide uninterrupted service and round the clock access to all applications, RAM, hard driver and processor. A big advantage of the service is a remote control over the trading platform and software and hardware systems. A user of vps service can remotely adjust settings of the robots and advisers in order to improve their efficiency.
A trader can choose server parameters after viewing full description of each rate. A Forex broker, providing vps service, guarantees that the speed and the capacity of the applications will be in accordance with a server's specification. Large brokers offer vps hosting with multi-language interface and support. Standard interface of the Windows Server is very comfortable for a trader who uses a remote server.
Terms and price of renting depend on the rate and selected applications of the server. It is worth noting that the price of vps service is fully justified. For a relatively small price, which is affordable even for a beginner in the market, a trader is secured from external adverse factors, force majeure circumstance, power supply interruptions, malfunction of the router, unauthorized access or emergency failure of a computer, tablet or laptop.
The procedure required for the connection to the remote server is as follows:
- In a letter from a service provider you will find IP address of the vps server and an access password.
- In the start menu go to the folder "accessories" and select "connect to a remote desktop".
- In the field "Computer" of the dialog box enter the number of IP address provided by the service provider, and click "Connect".
- In the popped-up icon "Windows server" enter user name and password to obtain access to vps server.
- If a standard Windows desktop is downloaded, it means that the connection to the vps service has been successfully implemented. After that a trader can install additional applications, for example, a trading terminal MetaTrader4. You can do it either from the site of your broker (usually a broker provides free applications), or from the official website of the developer – MetaQuotes company.
Trading advisors, experts and robots will be downloaded and installed in the conventional manner. Applications will be saved in a folder on the desktop and then, downloaded to the terminal. The parameters required for the operation of the automated applications will be set in the terminal. After that advisers and experts will carry out trading operations as required by a trader.
A trader can be completely confident that all programs work perfectly well. He/she can even switch off a computer knowing that the trading terminal with the automated systems on the server will continue to perform its tasks.
As described above, at any time and from any place, a trader can connect to the remote desktop in order to have access to the server with trading terminal, advisers and robots. A trader can also install additional tools and adjust the system for his/her purposes.
Therefore, vps service is a modern option offered by the large brokers for automated trading with the help of the virtual server. A trader can choose the most attractive rates and features of vps server. Many companies offering vps hosting suggest free testing of this service.

Heart's Fire Road was the road that connected Kyuden Agasha (P21) to the City of Remembrance (P19). Before the Agasha joined the Phoenix this was known as Dead End Road, for Kyuden Agasha was a minor military outpost of little military significance; duty there was an assignment for those who had displeased the Council of Masters.
