[Review Part One]
"I expected her to be appreciative and say so," he answered. "What I told her was a really hard thing… for me, anyway."
"So you felt you were being vulnerable, is that it?" the counselor offered.
Jessup sipped his coffee with his eyebrows raised, "Yeah, in a way, I did. I trust her to have the biggest part of everything; not just of me, but of everything I own. I mean, shouldn't a husband do that for a wife if he loves her?"
The counselor looked up from his notes, sympathetically.
"Jessup, when you have a serious relationship with the Lord like your wife, your focus is not on the things of the earth. The main thing… the main Person in your life is Him. Can you understand that?"
The new husband put his coffee cup down. "In spiritual things, yes; but this is about our marriage. In the things about marriage, I thought it was God Who said that the husband belongs to the wife and the wife belongs to the husband. Is that not true? It was all I was saying to her."
The counselor scooted forward and said, "Yes, as it pertains to sexual relations and intimacy, man and wife do belong to each other, Jessup. But you didn't specify any of that. I hope you're not saying this now just to make more sense to me. I hope you realize your wife is simply saying God has total charge of your lives in every area, and it's only by His permission that your bodies are given to one another in matters of intimacy. Actual ownership of everything you two are belongs to God. That's what she is saying."
Jessup crossed his legs and slumped slightly in his chair. "So are you saying I shouldn't love her this much, or want her to love me in return like that? Are you saying there should be limits or boundaries to how much I love my wife?"

"I've got a wife who is serious about the Lord," Jessup said.
"Well, that's a good thing, isn't it?" the counselor said.
"No… I mean, yes, it's a good thing I reckon. But I mean really serious about Him. To the point where she won't let me say certain things without rebutting them. And, to me, these things are nice; they speak my heart, but she won't hear me."
"Things like what?" the counselor searched.
"Well, I said the other day that I want her to be the biggest part of me. She was nice about it, but she definitely said that is something she can't do. She said God needs to be the biggest part of me."
"And so he does," answered the counselor. "But you didn't agree with that?"
"Oh, now don't you start on me," Jessup cautioned, a bit defensively. "I don't see where it's wrong for a husband to put trust in his wife, especially when she's a pastor."
"Yes, but that's not what you said to her," the counselor rebutted. "You made a sweeping statement about giving her the biggest part of you or something, right?"
"I said I want her to be the biggest part of me, yes. What's so wrong with that?" Jessup queried.
"Nothing, if you don't take God as seriously as you say she does, Jessup. Really… what did you expect her to say?"
The new husband paused a moment, shifted position in his chair, and formed his answer…

Troy Restaurant Guide & Dining Reviews
Featured Review
I cannot understand why anyone would give this restaurant anything less than a 5 star. Those who do are expecting far too much and trying to compare it with full Mexican establishments which they forget, is not.
I just discovered this little diamond in the rough two days ago. It may not fit the ambiance or menu selection of several Mexican restaurants downtown or elsewhere, but the food is absolutely fantastic.
To add, I am a frequent tamale eater and usually purchase my tamales from Evies, which BTW, also have great tamales, but after having them from LaBotana, I was blown away. My tamale purchases will now divert to LaBotana.
You cannot go wrong with LaBotana, whether it's carry out or dining in, you'll enjoy their f...

Author Tags: Music, Poetry
Born in Victoria in 1952, Richard Stevenson received a B.A. and teacher's certification from UVic and an MFA from UBC prior to teaching for two years in Nigeria. That experience resulted in a series of exploration in poetry of Africa viewed from without and from within; Driving Offensively (Sono Nis), Horizontal Hotel: A Nigerian Odyssey (TSAR publications) and Flying Coffins (Ekstasis). His lyrics and serial monologues in Learning to Breathe (Ekstasis, 1992) explore themes of masculinity and violence. His extended poem sequence on the life and works of Miles Davis is Bebop to Funk: A Miles Davis Tribute (Thistledown, 2000). In addition to various chapbooks such as Hierarchy at the Feeder (Pierian Press, 1984) and Twelve Houseplants (Pierian Press/Dollarpoems Series, 1985), he has published Why Were All the Werewolves Men? (Thistledown, 1994) and A Murder of Crows: New and Selected Poems (Black Moss, 1998). He has taught Canadian Literature, Creative Writing, and Business Communication at Lethbridge Community College in Lethbridge, Alberta and he has performed occasionally with Naked Ear, doing a Miles Davis tribute show, and with Sasquatch, doing light verse for middle grade schoolchildren. He returned to live on Vancouver Island, in Nanaimo, in 2015.

[BCBW 2003] "Poetry" "Music"
Biography - Lethbridge Insider
background info
"As a child he had the chance to grow up in Saanich, British Columbia, where he had the best of both worlds: a rural setting that was close to the city. The rural setting gave Stevenson a chance to explore and develop his imagination. Once during his exploration, he and his friends came upon a sword. They were smart enough to take it to a museum and eventually found out that it was part of Captain Cooks expedition. Stevensons inquisitive nature he quickly discovered was really about words; words used to describe, words used to explain.
"Stevenson may have become a biologist had it not been for a few timely influences in his life. Stevensons Grade 10 teacher, who he describes as off the wall, was his first. This teacher got the class interested in protest music of the era like Sky Pilots by the Animals and bands like Country Joe and the Fish. More importantly, this influential teacher introduced Stevenson to anti-war poets like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon. Stevenson also credits the liberal education he received during Grade 12, or 12X as it was called. In this program, students were allowed to study whatever field they were interested in. During this time, Rick also wrote for the school paper and wrote song lyrics for his locker partner, who happened to be a musician.
"This set the tone for Ricks post-secondary experience, which happened at his hometown University of Victoria. It was there that he first met Robert Sward, a professor who introduced to his students ideas like Zen, meditation, and Buddhism. To this date, Stevenson remains friends with Sward and considers him one of his mentors. During his time at UVIC, Stevenson was influenced by the work of Robin Skelton, Susan Musgrave, Sylvia Plath, and Eugene McNamara.
"Post graduation, Rick Stevenson found himself with the opportunity of a lifetime: a chance to go to Africa and teach. While in Africa, Stevenson was inspired to write about Neo-Colonialism something that was a fresh new topic; a topic that was getting him noticed. Upon returning to Canada, Stevenson attended UBC for his graduate studies and began work with Prism International magazine. Because of his Africa experience, Stevenson became Editor in Chief of Prism.
"As Stevenson completed his graduate work, his thesis, Driving Offensively, was awarded the Norma Epstein Award. Being in the West Coast scene helped get Driving Offensively published. A friend and guru J. Michael Yates suggested Rick try Sono Nis Press as his ex-wife worked there (not to mention, Yates founded it). Yates at the time was head of the UBC writing department and was a champion of young Canadian writers. Stevenson credits Yates with helping him get into the League of Canadian Poets as well as general inspiration. Driving Offensively was published by Sono Nis and won rave reviews."

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Relationships, Discrimination, and Jealousy' started by ace420, Oct 28, 2006.
If your mother knew about your size when you were young, how did she react to you and your size?
I wouldn't know how she reacted, I was too young...
whoa there. The thought of ANYONE in my family knowing about my size or even talking about it is a big no-go area!
I knew a guy at school who would tell me about his hung younger brother but I doubt his mom would have known.
She told all the family and all the neighbours...
Apparently, my aunt said 'mom' said I "always had a big pecker" ...I really would not like to know. Maybe I downplay my size because everyone knows and I don't see the big deal.
Was fun last night though, I told her it was the size of a cocktail sausage. Thought she knew I was joking but apparently not
I stick with holding out my pinky :tongue:.
My response would've been, "Y'all serve bratwursts at cocktail parties now?" :tongue:
I have seen my dad and my brother naked, I think every one in my family is hung. I'm sure my mom has an idea, as disturbing as that is... lol
well, not MY mother , but my next door neighbor's mother (who was a fucking hottie even back then!!!) ....took us both to the beach once once at the beach and taking mhy pants off.... she just stared at my big dick through my trunks. Even Rick (my buddy) laughed and told me his mom was hypnotised by my cock. I remember we were at Atlantic city in 1966 or so, and he took me aside and told me that his mom was talking about my size to her girlfriend (who had gone with us). Guys, i guess that raises another question......anyone ever want to fuck his friends mom?
yes of course i've wanted to fuck my best friends mom
My father was well hung but none of my brothers are. My mother still says "you have a nice physique".
Yeah my mom knows. Always been open with her so it's never been much a secret.
I assume every mom knows, I think it's a law that moms apparently know everything.
I slipped and fell in the shower once while masturbating.Mom heard the thud and charged in to make sure I was ok,guess what she saw?The door closed real fast and it was never mentioned.
That's why you never masturbate when the parents are home.:tongue:
At 14 I was not a fast learner,later that year she caught me jerking to a copy of JUGGS magazine!
As posted in a previous thread when I was 9 I was larger than most adult men and we used to go and still do go to the YMCA to swim and I know my dad has told her about all of us being hung, she trys not to say too much about it but I know she has talked to some family members about such things she mentions my big boys meaning my dad and my brothers and myself. Its all good! Dad was really kewl when we were growing up we could go to him for most anything not like most kids these day afraid to talk to their parents about sex and their body changes...
Poor guy.... One can hope that you have learned BY now!:tongue:
Yep,got a lock on the bedroom door.So when she comes to visit I can fuck my wife and mom can't peek in!:biggrin1:
*Recommends you check under the bed before hand, just in case.*
Now I'm scared!I used to worry about monsters under my bed,but mom?

"This is a theoretically sophisticated and thoroughly documented historical case study of the movements for African American liberation in St. Louis. Through detailed analysis of black working class mobilization from the depression years to the advent of Black Power, award-winning historian Clarence Lang describes how the advances made in earlier decades were undermined by a black middle class agenda that focused on the narrow aims of black capitalists and politicians. The book is a major contribution to our understanding of the black working class insurgency that underpinned the civil rights and Black Power campaigns of the twentieth century." —-V. P. Franklin, University of California, Riverside "A major work of scholarship that will transform historical understanding of the pivotal role that class politics played in both civil rights and Black Power activism in the United States. Clarence Lang's insightful, engagingly written, and well-researched study will prove indispensable to scholars and students of postwar American history." —-Peniel Joseph, Brandeis University Breaking new ground in the field of Black Freedom Studies, Grassroots at the Gateway reveals how urban black working-class communities, cultures, and institutions propelled the major African American social movements in the period between the Great Depression and the end of the Great Society. Using the city of St. Louis in the border state of Missouri as a case study, author Clarence Lang undermines the notion that a unified "black community" engaged in the push for equality, justice, and respect. Instead, black social movements of the working class were distinct from—-and at times in conflict with—-those of the middle class. This richly researched book delves into African American oral histories, records of activist individuals and organizations, archives of the black advocacy press, and even the records of the St. Louis' economic power brokers whom local black freedom fighters challenged. Grassroots at the Gateway charts the development of this race-class divide, offering an uncommon reading of not only the civil rights movement but also the emergence and consolidation of a black working class. Clarence Lang is Assistant Professor in African American Studies and History at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Fantastic Fireworks Cake (4th of July Cake)
Recipe by gailanng
I didn't base the merit of this recipe solely on the use of a boxed mix and canned frosting. Naturally, we all know that scratch is superior, but getting that out of the way it's hard to deny this to be adorable. Creative, easy and festive. Kids love it...even the kid within ourselves. Note: Use 8 inch cake pans are suggested, but may use 13x9 inch baking pan for a sheet-type cake or cup cakes (check box for baking time). http://www.imponline.com/FactsAndTips/Cooking/fireworks-cake.aspx?tag=Bake
Top Review by Bonnie G 2
I'm so disappointed, I made this cake as directed only adding recipe#54269 to make it taller and recipe#243117 as a filling because we love it and it turned out wonderful. So pretty and the decorations looked awesome. I took photos but when I went to load them messed it up somehow and deleted them instead. It was pretty, nice and light and TALL. I usually make my own cakes but needed something easy as I had a full menu and lots to do. You'd never know it wasn't home made and EVERYONE at our 4th of July barbeque raved about how it looked AND tasted. Thanks so much for a great recipe, just wish my photos would have made it. Not a great photo as I just took a picture of some of the left over, but the whole cake was lovely.

Ingredients Nutrition
- 517.37 g package white cake mix
- red and blue food coloring
- 453.59 g can vanilla frosting
- 18.99 g package red decorating gel
- 18.99 g packageblue decorating gel
Directions See How It's Made
- Preheat the oven to 350°F Grease and flour two 8-inch round cake pans or see Tip #1 below.
- Prepare the cake mix batter according to package directions.
- Pour 1 cup batter into each prepared pan. Drop 5 to 7 drops each of the red and blue food coloring randomly on batter. (I found the larger the drop pools, the better the effect. In other words, don't skimp or there will not be enough gel effect when cutting the cake.) Swirl the coloring with a wooden skewer. Divide the remaining batter evenly between the pans, spooning batter gently on top of swirled colors. Drop 5 to 7 drops each of red and blue food coloring randomly on the batter again; swirl coloring with a wooden skewer.
- Bake the cakes until a toothpick inserted in centers comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cakes in the pans on wire racks for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans and place on wire racks to cool completely.
- Place one cake layer on a serving plate. Spread the top with about 3/4 cup frosting. Top with the second cake layer. Spread the side and top of the cake with the remaining frosting. Draw several sets of concentric circles on top and side of cake with the red and blue decorating gels. Drag a wooden skewer through the circles to feather the colors and make bursting fireworks designs.
- Two Tips To Remove Cake From Pans:.
- Tip 1. An easier method is to outline 2 pieces of wax paper cut to the size of the bottom of the cake pan. Place wax paper on bottom and pour batter over. When inverting after baking, immediately peel off wax paper and dispose.
- Tip 2. Let each cake layer cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing; the cake will release steam and begin to pull away from the pan edge.
- Check to see if the cake will come out easily by placing one hand on top of the cake and carefully inverting the pan. If the cake layer doesn't release, run a knife around the edge of the cake to help loosen. Place your hand on the top and carefully invert the pan again. Remove the cake and carefully place on a rack to cool completely.

1. Can I use the plugin with an older release (2.01) of Total Commander?
Yes, this is possible, but some features regarding refreshing the currently displayed folder are not available. Instead of you will be displayed a message box requesting you to manually refresh the current folder.
2. What are the differences between the FULL version and the FREE version of the plugin?
Both versions have the same functionality. If the FREE version does not work for you, do not buy the FULL version.
The difference is, that the FREE version has a time limit and new features will be published for the FREE version first,
so the FULL version is more stable.
3. Can I update the FREE version?
Yes, you can update the FREE version. Normally a new release with a new expiration date is published at the end of month .
4. I have no credit card, can I buy the FULL version?
Both apps are only published at the Google Play Store, so only pay methods supported from Google are accepted.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) ¿¿M&T Bank (MTB) said Thursday its process of coming into compliance with federal regulations remains ongoing.
M&T Bank entered into a $5.2 billion merger agreement with Hudson City Bancorp (HCBK) in August 2012. The deal has been in limbo since April when the Federal Reserve Board raised concerns about M&T's procedures and processes relating to compliance with the Bank Secrecy Act and anti-money laundering compliance program.
M&T entered a consent order with the Fed in June that laid out obligations for the company to come into compliance with the BSA/AML regulations, including submitting plans for revised programs.
On its earnings call Thursday, M&T chief financial officer Rene Jones said, "We believe the progress to date has been considerable. And while we have a lot of work left to do, we continue to work diligently to create a high quality BSA compliance program that fully addresses the concerns raised in the written agreement with the Federal Reserve."
Jones said that the level of staffing needed for the BSA compliance program will eventually level out, although it is expected to remain elevated for several more quarters. He said, when asked by an analyst, that the bank didn't know what percentage of the program was completed. According to the CFO, the process involved building state of the art practices, rather than simply fixing a weakness in the system, because those trying to get around the bank's protections are also improving their efforts. The real goals is to have the board and its regulators confident in the bank's infrastructure - and he couldn't answer what the time frame for that would be.

Personalised gifts to treasure & keep
Rudi & Co. is a small design company based in the Scottish Borders and is run by me - Jules Hanlon Cole - with a little help and a lot of patience from my family!
After completing a degree in Creative Arts, it wasn't until I took a career break years later to have my 3 children that I was able to start designing and experimenting again. I began by making personalised cards for my friends and family at night from the kitchen table when the children had gone to bed and this slowly blossomed into Rudi & Co., which sells an eclectic range of personalised cushions, cards, aprons, pictures and bags.
I now work from a lovely bright studio workshop which is within walking distance from my home in the Scottish Borders. I love what I do and I love knowing that each personalised item that I make will help to celebrate a very special occasion. Each piece truly is designed & handmade with love.
Living and working in the Tweed Valley - which has the most amazing mountain bike trails and miles of empty roads - has inspired my biking range. It's been fantastic to be able to combine my passion for graphics and design with my love of working with textiles.
All delivery dates are estimated unless Special Delivery has been selected. For our standard free delivery we use RM 1st Class which normally delivers within 1 - 2 days but this isn't guaranteed.
Please allow 7 - 10 working days before dispatch for all personalised items handmade to order.

I said leave it on the async branch until you have data. You moved it to trunk before you've even implemented the async part, which I think is wrong because the way you implemented it damages the performance of prefork and needlessly creates an incompatible MMN. Maybe it would be easier for me to understand why the event loop is being controlled at such a high level if I could see it work first. Now, if you want to tell me that those changes produced a net performance benefit on prefork (and thus are applicable to other MPMs), then I am all ears. I am easily convinced by comparative performance figures when the comparison is meaningful. ....Roy

I work out at a very small gym that only has 25 people as members. It's kept this way so the owner know everyone's routine. The owner sold the gym to his daughter who was a fitness trainer and she decided to keep it small. The new owner allison was a knock out and was always wearing tight outfits. I used to go home and jerk off after my workouts because of this. One night I was running late and came to the gym 30 minutes before they closed. Allison told me she was going to stay late to due some paper work so I should take my time. In the middle of my workout I needed a spotter and asked Allsion if she would help me. She came over and stood above me. While I was lifting the weights my head kept going inbetween her legs. After I put the weight back I noticed my penis was starting to swell. Allsion also noticed and asked me if I was ok. I looked at her and said that I was sorry and would leave the gym. Allison told me to stay and thought it was nice when someone gets excited about her. I told her I thought she was amazing looking. She thanked me and asked if I needed any more spotting. I told her it was ok and I was going to take a shower and leave. I went to the locker room got undressed and turning on the water. As I was waiting for the water to get warm I started to play with myself. I thought about Allison and kept stroking. I then jumped in the shower and started to wash my self. As I was soaping up my penis I started to jerk off. I soon exploded all over the wall and then resoaped myself. After I finished I toweled off, got dressed and said good night to Allison.

"Oliver, look at my eyes."
"You need to stay beside me, or hold Owen's hand, you're not allowed to run away, okay? Otherwise you have to sit in the cart. "
Ahhh. Shopping at Costco with the rest of the pre-dinner rush. I would have preferred throwing myself from my patio, but alas, I had no choice. Days of procrastination had left my home out of milk, cream and coffee, creating a state of emergency.
Half-way through our trip I had reminded Oliver not to run off. He was now too big for the cart, and enjoying free bird status.
But, he wasn't listening. My repeated attemps to get him under control were failing. I felt frustrated, why is parenting so impossible at times?.
Each time I scolded Ollie, I kept seeing the same woman. Pushing her cart in her yoga pants. Looking a bit too relaxed, while her four kids behaved. I had begun to feel self-conscious about Oliver's performance. Feeling his lack of control, was a reflection on me.
Oliver and I waited in an aisle, while Owen, my ten-year old, ran back to grab a forgotten item for me. Owen is at an amazing age.
I checked the cart. Almost done.
I was examining a new black bean pasta. It had a fantastic recipe on the back, which I thought sounded very posh. I was having a happy fantasy about hosting an amazing adult dinner party, all my guest praising my super fab black bean pasta curry dish. We would raise our glasses of chilled Sauvignon Blanc to toast my culinary genius…
Oops, I had forgotten about my free bird. He was running full speed ahead of me.
"OLIVER, get back here!"
He rounded the corner at the end of aisle, almost getting wiped out by another cart.
Jesus, if he dies it will be my fault, cause I was having a dinner party in my head.
Owen arrived just in time to witness his brother's anarchy and started after him.
Owen is way faster than me. And I had a five hundred pound shopping cart with a gimpy wheel.
I tried to cut Oliver off at the next aisle, but only managed catch a brief glimpse of him tearing around the next corner.
As I came up to the next aisle I saw Owen take his brother down as a cart stopped just short of them.
There were my boys, in a crumpled heap on the floor of Costco, Oliver laughing hysterically.
I looked up, and there was the mom with her perfect kids, looking at my dog-pile of children. She had a faint smile tugging at her lips as she observed my offspring. I knew that look. It was smug mom. It was the "my kids would never end up in an uncontrolled dog-pile in Costco" look.
That look has the power to make you feel a little smaller in weakened moments. And it was working.
I grabbed Ollie and braced myself for the near certain storm that was to come. With one hand I tossed food from the cart seat to the basket, while he did the death roll in the other.
It was an Oscar performance. Humiliating.
Finally I had him seat belted into the cart.
And. Then. He. Screamed.
And cried.
The primal kind that scares the crap out of me.
I tried to summon any dignity I had left and walked to the check out.
I glanced at the lineup next up me. Of course there was smug mom, face palm. She would witness the grand finale. I broke eye contact and began unloading my cart.
Oliver was screaming:
"I WANNNA WALK!" Over and over and over.
And a small piece of me died.
I have been smug mum.
On those rare occasions when my kids have been behaving perfectly and I've come across another mom in the midst of an equally humiliating scene, I have judged. In those moments I have felt deep satisfaction, delighting in my own parental perfection.
But smug separates me from others.
Smug has the power to make someone else feel a little smaller.
That makes me a little smaller.
Why do I have it in my nature to one up? I thank God for the humbling moments at Costco to serve as a reminder, that I too can fall.
Perfectionism has served us moms a great big Costco-sized shit pie. I have a wealth of knowledge and opinions to compare myself too. And so does everyone else. Except we all have different pieces of knowledge and definitely different opinions
This can be crippling if not filtered. If I allow every standard I hear to rule me. I lose. I lose my identity, discernment, and sometimes, my common sense. I begin to feel like I will never be enough.
When I lose control of my kid for all the world to see, all those voices and feelings flood my mind. And I hear, what if I am doing everything wrong?
This is who is watching me when my child is melting down.
Social Media:
"I just took my kids to a learning place, and then we all hand knitted hats. Then we told each other how much we love each other, and gave one another words of kindness. Then they ate my vegetable-only organic dinner."
"If we do not teach our kids self discipline they will become convicts. But be careful, because if you discipline them, you'll crush their spirit, and then they will become sociopaths."
Well Meaning, Unsolicited Advice:
This is an interesting group, I am pretty sure this group has selective memory or are blatant liars.
"My baby was potty trained by one."
"My kids behaved in public; they never disrespected their elders."
"If you don't give you kid sugar, he'll be able to control himself."
All of this, could be encouraging. It could be helpful, but there is no cookie cutter kid.
I think there are kids that can be potty trained at one, or who never blow a gasket. But those kids are born, not made.
My three year old is now happy, he broke into the cookies. Sugar solves everything.
Exit Costco.
It is interesting how a meltdown of epic proportions can start you thinking. I feel very "called out" on my stinky smugness.
And the best way to conquer stinky, is with love.
I don't want to make anyone smaller, I want to make people I meet feel bigger.
It's simple. The next time I see a mom barely surviving in public, I will use a little courage and step into her moment.
I will hand her a pre-purchased $5 Starbucks Card. With a note.
"Thank you for surviving an outing with melting down kids. I saw you and I know how hard that is.
Have a coffee on me. With no kids around. And know that you are appreciated, and amazing, just as you are."
A Mom.
Will you join me in an anti-smugness movement? Cause, ladies, we are in this together. Maybe you won't have a card, or a note. But you can fight smug. Help a sister out. Offer to unload her cart, tell her you have been there. Say something encouraging.
Be Awesome.

We are upgrading from Avira 10 to Avira 12, and the anti-virus Pie chart shows a lot of computers without anti-virus. All workstations are recognized, but all servers show tha they have no anti-virus installed. I tried to enable the security center but it does not help.
Has anyone seen this before? Or knows a solution?

Have you tried deleting the server from Spiceworks and rescanning it?
Apr 24, 2012 at 11:03 UTC
We have about 25 servers with avira installed and they are all not recognized. Even newly installed servers are also not recognized.
Apr 24, 2012 at 12:34 UTC
Brand Representative for Contronex - G Data Distributor
You followed these instructions to activate the security center on the sever
I am just trying to cover all of the bases.
Apr 25, 2012 at 4:38 UTC
I double checked and we have it activated for all windows pc's. Servers and workstations have the "Turn on Security Center (Domain PCs only)" enabled. For workstations this works, because without the setting they were not recognised. \\
I also read somewhere that Avira Server 10 was supported out of the box, but 12 is not? Is that true?
Apr 25, 2012 at 8:21 UTC
Brand Representative for Contronex - G Data Distributor
From my understanding, and AV solution that will report to the security center integrates with Spiceworks as this is how it gets information. Are your servers running Windows Server 2008 or 2003?
Apr 26, 2012 at 1:48 UTC
Almost all are running 2008R2, and some are running 2008 and 2003.
I attached a screenshot from the server. Does this mean Security Center is enabled?
Apr 26, 2012 at 2:00 UTC
Security Center is introduced in XP SP..(2 or 3?) i believe, and i think it is renamed to Action Center in windows 7/2008R2. So i think it is enabled right now but still nothing to be reported to spiceworks.
Apr 26, 2012 at 3:07 UTC
Windows 7 shows something different: anti-virus is in the list.
Apr 26, 2012 at 10:04 UTC
Brand Representative for Contronex - G Data Distributor
This is stretching my knowledge as I am new to Spiceworks still, and am still learning. I know that the Security Center uses WMI to pull the AV info into it, but that is about the extent that I know about it. I am hoping someone else here will know more about Security Center.
Apr 26, 2012 at 11:21 UTC
Thats what I understood also. WMI simply says yes or no on whether AV is running and up to date. But for some reason this is, or not reported to Wmi by avira, or that part of Wmi (action center) is not functioning. The latter is what I am thinking because of the already supplied manual by the spiceworks community. But more and more I am getting the feeling of the first...
Apr 26, 2012 at 12:32 UTC
Brand Representative for Contronex - G Data Distributor
What is weird is the Security Center should be reporting either Avira installed or no AV found, but it is not showing it at all.
Apr 27, 2012 at 1:24 UTC
I agree. I have not seen this before on W2K8R2.
I have read somthing about the WSHV (Windows Security Health Validator) also, this might be the thing we need to enable.
Apr 27, 2012 at 9:40 UTC
Brand Representative for Contronex - G Data Distributor
I have already submitted to Avira support to see if they have any ideas, and am still hoping someone else on here has some ideas too.
May 21, 2012 at 8:38 UTC
Heard anything back from Avira?
Appreciate the help.
May 21, 2012 at 11:41 UTC
Brand Representative for Contronex - G Data Distributor
The server operating systems don't support the necessary Security Center features to properly report in the way that Spiceworks gathers the information.
May 22, 2012 at 1:41 UTC
So the only way to get this to work is to hope Spiceworks is going to implement some kind of solution. It used to work with 10...
May 22, 2012 at 11:02 UTC
Brand Representative for Contronex - G Data Distributor
I have been checking around with people about this. Avira isn't the only AV having issues reporting. I am still trying to find a solution.
Jul 23, 2012 at 7:47 UTC
Hello BenOoi, this problem is fixed in spiceworks 6.0 RC - see Fix 45 (http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/242237-spiceworks-6-0-release-notes).
We had the same issue, and now with 6.0 we have no problems with our server W2K8R2.

Average selling price: $21,353
Savings: 9% Under $25,000 with more than 25 miles per gallon worth of combined fuel efficiency? How did this make the list? Easily the most fuel-efficient and cost-effective vehicle of the bunch, the five-passenger Rogue crossover with its all-wheel drive and 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is the undercover Forester. Its interior is less plastic than its upmarket competitor and has comfortable seats, a huge center console bin and glove box, an organizer under the floor. Its features are a bit sparse, as Bluetooth is reduced to an option and items such as keyless entry, folding side mirrors, cruise control, a tilt steering wheel, air-conditioning, full power accessories, a 60/40-split-folding rear seat, a trip computer and a four-speaker sound system with a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack and an iPod interface are considered perks. In a mid-market increasingly populated with go-to small SUVs such as the Honda CR-V, Toyota ( TM) RAV4 and Ford Escape, though, the rogue is the all-wheel-drive winter wagon suited for school and shopping but without all the socioeconomic baggage. -- Written by Jason Notte in Portland, Ore. >To contact the writer of this article, click here: Jason Notte. >To follow the writer on Twitter, go to http://twitter.com/notteham. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Halloween is just over a month away, and one particularly creative individual has come up with a novel style of makeup for the holidays in which each feature of the face is drawn in makeup below the corresponding real one — or, in the case of the nose, farther up and smaller. This has an especially eerie effect on the person who looks upon the face that has been thus made up — it makes you feel as if you were intoxicated or in a daze, and thus seeing double. Indeed, when I saw the video, I thought that I had frozen it at a moment when it was dissolving! The effect of the trippy double vision makeup can be enhanced even more by a pair of shades, in which case one still sees the other eyes and both mouths and it looks very confusing indeed! In the words of the person who demonstrated this style on video, you can be a "walking migraine!"

One of those viral lists is going around Facebook right now. This one is about popular bucket list items – things you want to do, and places you want to see before you die. You mark an X next to whatever you've accomplished, and if you haven't been there, done that, you just leave the item blank.
Rather than limit this information to only those I'm friends with on Facebook, I've decided to copy and paste it here for you to use as a litmus test for the value of your own life and the regrets you're collecting:

Tonight is the annual Emmy awards show, where actors and shows from the previous television year are recognized for excellence, or because they air on a network and have flumped their way to broadcasting a level of pablum that is an achievement in itself. It also marks the start of the new fall TV season, so this guide to the new network shows is just in time to let you know which shows are worth your time. My selflessness knows no ends.
|Time (Eastern/Central)
|Why should you watch?
|Life in Pieces
|This is one of those multi-family shows, in the vein of ABC's Modern Family, except no one is gay, and they've found a new way to make bodily function jokes. Also, Jordan Peele (from Comedy Central's Key and Peele) shows up for what I hope is more than just a cameo.
|8/7 (Nov. 1)
|Remember the CW show Smallville, which was about Superman when he was a teenager, but played by a 30-year old? This is the story about his cousin, who like Superman, was jettisoned by her parents from a dying Krypton (too bad that family didn't bother sharing their child-saving technology with anybody else, huh?), and like Superman protects her identity by wearing glasses and living in the most densely populated city in the U.S. Importantly, the trailer for the show manages to include both a woman providing an excuse for the sexist title (why not Superwoman?), and a male co-star who mansplains to Supergirl how to be a hero. Good times!
|ABC is airing no new shows on Monday, preferring instead to take their counterprogramming chances with the 83rd iteration of Dancing with the Stars.
|Minority Report
|Remember the 2002 movie by the same name, which starred Tom Cruise, and had the same dissatisfying ending of every Philip K. Dick story ever? Now you can experience that dissatisfaction every week! This is Fox's latest failed Sci-fi drama, following last year's Almost Human, 2012's Alcatraz, 2011's Terra Nova, and 2010's Dollhouse (I had to look up that last one).
|Blind Spot
|OK, so tell me if you've heard this one before: A duffel bag shows up in the middle of an empty Times Square. Inside is a naked woman, covered with tattoos. Turns out, she's an amnesic super spy whose tattoos are a cryptic message about her past, or maybe something having to do with the future, or perhaps a lasagna recipe. This show is apparently an attempt to capitalize on the wildly popular Girl with the Dragon Tattoo novel by Stieg Larsson, with the hope that audiences will remember nothing about it except that it featured a girl, with a tattoo.
|My Crazy Ex-girlfriend
|This show was originally a racy, foul-mouthed half-hour comedy on Showtime, but is now an hour-long comedy on the CW, because sure, why not?
|Time (Eastern/Central)
|Why should you watch?
|It seems most of the TV shows this season started with the pitch, "Hey, remember that time when there was that show/movie/idea…" This show is no exception, capitalizing on the somewhat popular 2011 movie by the same name, which starred Bradley Cooper as a drug-fueled supergenius. Cooper makes a return in the pilot, but only sticks around long enough to get a new guy hooked on whatever he was using. A strong, family message for the kids, really.
|Quick: what do you expect a show called Heartbreaker to be about? A supercute guy or gal who's constantly disappointing would-be paramours? A horrible cardiac surgeon, perhaps? Two flatulent mice sharing a flat in Budapest? Well, the second choice would've been the closest, as it's actually about a heart transplant surgeon. This show will be replaced at the start of the TV season by Chicago Med (wonder what that one will be about?), while the lead in Heartbreaker takes leave to have a child.
|Best Time Ever with Neil Patrick Harris
|The title of the show is somewhat confusing, as it's not clear to me whether this is, in fact, the best time you could ever, ever have, or merely the best time you could ever have with Neil Patrick Harris. But I digress. As does the show, apparently, consisting of a hodgepodge of skits, pranks, games, celebrity appearances, and amateur performances. If the opening credits don't show someone throwing spaghetti at a wall, I'll be disappointed.
|the muppets
|No one will ever voice Kermit the Frog exactly the way Jim Henson did. No one else can seem to quite capture the spirit of his creations either, but we'll watch this show anyway, in the hope it won't be as bad as past resurrections, and for the can't-miss doses of Statler & Waldorf in the balcony.
|How often you must've found yourself wondering, "What do young FBI recruits look like when stepping out of the swimming pool?" Finally, here comes a show that can answer the question. Other secrets from the FBI's training program are also revealed, such as, how to look sultry to your co-workers, and hey, one of us is a terrorist?
|John Stamos, who played the hilarious Uncle Jessie in the iconic sitcom Full House, plays the hilarious role of a Greek restaurateur who irresponsibly fathered a child he didn't know about for a couple/few decades, and that child also just became a father, so now John Stamos is a grandfather. Therefore, he's not really "grandfathered" into anything, but he's joined in the cast by Paget Brewster who played the hilarious serial-killer hunting Emily Prentiss on CBS' Criminal Minds. It's unclear at this time what could possibly go wrong with this show.
|The Grinder
|Oh, I sure hope this is a show about a baked sub-style sandwich! Let me check the previews. Nope. Not about sandwiches at all. Turns out this is an Odd Couple-type story where Rob Lowe plays a character who played a lawyer on TV, and is brother to Fred Savage, who plays an actual lawyer. William Devane also stars as their father. It's not explicitly stated in the advance materials, but I'm guessing he fathered them with two different women. After the end of an eight-year run for his show where he played the most popular lawyer on TV, Lowe's character moves back to Boise, ID, as most TV stars do, and busies himself by meddling in his brother's life. This is a comedy.
|Scream Queens
|I'm a little nervous to out-and-out guess what this one might be about, so let me do some research first. Ah, I see. It's a black comedy/satire type show that centers on Kappa House, a popular, elitist sorority that's forced to change its ways and accommodate all comers, even though there's a bunch of murders that happen, or something. The show is executive produced by the team that brought us Glee, and stars Emma Roberts and Jamie Lee Curtis (who plays the Jane Lynch-type role of antagonist/disciplinarian). The color of Curtis' track suit was not revealed.
|Time (Eastern/Central)
|Why should you watch?
|ABC has no new shows scheduled for Wednesdays.
|Code Black
|If you've missed a high-stress, fast-paced hospital drama in your TV life, this is the show for you. Well, either this one or Chicago Med on NBC Tuesdays. You make the call. This one has the advantage of taking its name from a situation where there are more patients than resources available to help them. Look for its spinoff next year, Governmental Allocations and City Planning.
|NBC has no new shows scheduled for Wednesdays, because – incredibly – they couldn't come up with anything better than Mysteries of Laura.
|Time (Eastern/Central)
|Why should you watch?
|ABC has no new shows scheduled for Thursdays. Does ABC know they're allowed to have new shows? This is confusing.
|CBS has no new shows immediately scheduled for Thursdays, as they will be airing an NFL game, and laughing at the other networks for showing anything other than reruns.
|Angel from Hell
|Probably the fall's most promising comedy (although, if you've been reading all of these previews, that's not a tall hurdle to clear), it stars Jane Lynch (not in a tracksuit) as the guardian angel/weird friend to dermatologist Maggie Lawson. Can a woman of science accept a spiritual being in her life? Or will it turn out that Lynch's character isn't an angel after all? Or will fellow co-star Kevin Pollack lose his mind and just start doing Sinatra impressions out of nowhere and the director shrugs and says, "What the hell, let's see where this goes?"
|Fox has no new shows scheduled for Thursdays. They know Bones and Sleepy Hollow aren't beating the NFL. Way to give up, fellas.
|Heroes Reborn
|Another deceiving title for a show that is not about sub-type sandwiches. Someone lost a bet with this one; that's the only way to explain it. (Probably the bet was with Greg Grunberg.) The original Heroes show from a few years ago had about 2.5 good episodes, but stumbled badly after that, like someone who trips over the threshold while walking into a room and clumsily attempts to regain his balance all the way across it, only to fall into the fireplace. That was the original Heroes. How this one will differ from that one, I don't know. My suggestion is to turn it into a cooking show that demonstrates how to make great sandwiches.
|The Player
|You probably think this one will be about a card player, or maybe some suave dude who picks up women all the time, or a suave card player, right? Well, it is set in Las Vegas, but it's not clear why. The gambling that takes place is about crime, which presumably could happen anywhere. The important thing isn't the ridiculous, outright laughably bad premise, it's that it stars Wesley Snipes.
|Time (Eastern/Central)
|Why should you watch?
|Dr. Ken
|There you go, ABC! Way to get off the Schneid. I knew you had to have at least one more show in you. If you're a fan of Ken Jeong, this is the show you've been waiting for, as he plays the eponymous character. If you're a fan of unimaginative, thinly drawn, poorly written comedies, I'm pretty sure they've got you covered here as well.
|Truth Be Told
|This show was originally going to be called People Are Talking, but apparently no one could come up with what it was they should be talking about. A more common problem than you'd think. Instead, we have a show about, um, two couples who hire a babysitter that they think might have done porn. Well. That certainly seems like something to talk about. I bet it turns out the babysitter has a twin sister. No wonder ABC felt safe putting a new show up against this one.
|Instead of coming up with new shows for Fridays, CBS and Fox looked at the two above, then gave each other a high five.
Nobody watches TV on Saturday nights. Probably why no new shows are scheduled.
|Time (Eastern/Central)
|Why should you watch?
|Blood & Oil
|ABC is the only network to offer new shows on Sunday, as Fox already has a solid lineup of comedies, NBC has football, and CBS just hopes CSI: Cyber and Madam Secretary don't end up poisoning The Good Wife.
This half-baked monstrosity sees Don Johnson (occasionally) faking a southern accent, while acting as a patriarch eking out the living of a hardscrabble Texas oil tycoon. Some other characters are also present, but whether they're supposed to prove more entertaining than Johnson and his accent, I can't tell.
|Of Kings & Prophets
|Finally! Another biblical drama. This one covers King Saul, Samuel the prophet, and David. It's for the Game of Thrones crowd that doesn't want to have to pay for HBO, I guess. Expect plenty of palace intrigue and politicking, bronze-age warfare, and sexytimes with people who have no access to indoor plumbing.
Self-publishing authors are all the rage these days. With the advent of technology like ebooks, and platforms such as Kickstarter and Go Fund Me to help defray (if not outright cover) the costs of physical publishing, people today are able to bring their ideas to fruition easier than ever. No more vetting by monolithic publishing companies, or meddlesome editors interfering with your effort to bring to light your thoughts on the next earth-shattering idea. You, too, can be the next Malcom Gladwell, Amy Tan, or David Sedaris.
The only question, really, is what to write about to drive an audience to your Next Great American Novel? If you've perused Amazon.com lately, you'll see that the adage "There's no accounting for taste" is alive & kicking. But what can you write about that both hasn't been covered, and will prove to be popular? One way to solve such a dilemma is to engage in an exercise where you come up with a list of book topics that almost certainly won't generate any interest from the public, then write something that is the opposite of that. What follows is a list of titles I have handily compiled, to help you know what books NOT to write. All you have to do is figure out the book that is not one of these, and then write it, and publish it. Profits soon to follow. You're welcome.

"Hi, honey, how was the bar?"
Oh, it was OK. I ran into Larry.
"How's Larry doing?"
Well, unfortunately, he and Susan recently divorced.
"Oh, that's too bad. I'm really sorry to hear it. Money troubles?"
No, she wanted him to learn the names of the fish.
My wife and I marked our 10-year wedding anniversary this week, so I wanted to put up this post. It's about a new toenail fungal medicine called Jublia. More specifically, it's about this commercial for Jublia:
If you didn't click the link, the commercial shows an animated foot playing tennis against the words "Toenail Fungus" in block letters. Let's review all of the problems I have with this commercial:
- First, why does the foot have hands? "To grip the racket, you big dummy!" is what you're probably thinking. But its Toenail Fungus opponent doesn't have hands. Why does only the foot have hands? If Toenail Fungus doesn't need hands to play tennis, what special qualities does the foot lack that require it to have two floating, disembodied hands? And why are the hands wearing purple rubber gloves? Is that allowed in tennis? Maybe only on the pro-am circuit?
- Second, what sort of game is this they're playing? At no point does the foot ever follow the rules of tennis. It starts by serving the ball not at the opposite side of the court, but rather directly at its opponent. It hits Toenail Fungus square in the gut! This is followed by a volley in which the foot repeatedly hammers the ball against the opponent. Were this tactic to be used on an actual tennis court, it would not result in a victory. Why not show the foot beating Toenail Fungus per the game of tennis?
- Next, the foot is giddy and smiling throughout the commercial. (The big toe has a face.) Does it not know that it has no idea how to play tennis? Or is it taking some kind of sadistic pleasure in purposefully breaking the rules, just to physically damage its opponent? Does this indicate that you should also take a Xanax with Jublia?
- Additionally to the point of the foot's humanistic depiction, why is it wearing a visor? Did the ad agency think we wouldn't take the foot seriously as a tennis player if it merely had the face, hands and racket involved?
- The stadium is shown as being packed with lively fans. I'm going to assume the people there had no idea about the match they were about to see. I mean, if someone told those folks, "Hey, let's go watch a tennis match!" and then they asked who was playing, and were told, "Just a disembodied foot versus some toenail fungus," and they still showed up in droves? I am really not OK with that kind of world. On the other hand, if they didn't know who was playing ahead of time, but still stayed to watch a foot versus a fungus, I'm probably even less comfortable with that.
- Finally, considering that the foot is depicted as being infected with toenail fungus itself in the commercial, why not show it being gradually cured over the course of the ad? The foot looks just as bad at the end as it does at the beginning!
Anyway, I wanted to make sure everyone was aware of these seeming discrepancies and confusing plot points in this commercial. After all, if you can't trust a drug maker to make an accurate cartoon about an anthropomorphic foot playing tennis, how is it supposed to cure whatever it is that ails you? Also, Happy Anniversary, honey!
I'm hoping this blog post finds an audience to help me solve a problem I'm facing in capturing an iPad app with Adobe Captivate. Here's some background on the project, since you might be wondering why I'm trying to create eLearning for an app because aren't all apps supposed to be intuitive and easy to use?
The app works in conjunction with a desktop/laptop application. The desktop application pushes data to the iPad app, basically. Therefore, the eLearning needs to not only show how to use the app, but also how to use the desktop application to push data to it.
The chief problem I'm having is capturing the actions in the iPad via Captivate. I'm using Captivate 8 on a Mac laptop, and I have an AirPlay application installed to mirror the iPad to the Mac screen. When I go to record in Captivate, it seems I have two options:
- Set it to record in video mode, which allows for all of the beautiful animation of the app to be recorded. Unfortunately, I can add only highlight boxes to this; I can't include a mouse cursor or other objects or interactions to this. I can pan & zoom, but that's it, right?
- Set it to record a software simulation, and manually click on the capture area on the laptop to mimic what is happening on the iPad. This allows for highlight boxes, etc., but leaves out some of the animation within the app.
Is there another option I'm missing? Any help is appreciated.
This week, in light of last week's debacle, I'm going to try something different. I'll list the games, what I think the spread should be, and what the actual spread is.
|My Line
|Actual Line
|Best Bet?
|Minnesota at Tampa Bay
|Tampa Bay -3
|Tampa Bay -2.5
|It's telling that Vegas doesn't trust the home team with a full field goal here.
|Detroit at Atlanta
|Detroit -1
|Detroit -3.5
|While Atlanta is technically the home team, this game is being played in London. I think Atlanta will struggle to move the ball against the Lions defense. These are two teams moving in different directions.
|Buffalo at NY Jets
|Buffalo -1
|NY Jets -3
|I know Buffalo is without Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller. I know the Jets have played a tough schedule and have a defense that can hang with teams. But I know Geno Smith is not a good QB, and I think the Bills defense is plenty good enough to stop him.
|Chicago at New England
|New England -3
|New England -6
|Yikes. The Bears certainly haven't looked great this year, but are they this bad? After all, they're 3-1 on the road! I could see the Patriots winning by a touchdown, but I can also see Belichick doing just enough to get his team the win as they face an even bigger test next week against Denver.
|Seattle at Carolina
|Seattle -3
|Seattle -5.5
|Seems like Vegas doesn't want to let go of the story about the Seahawks being the defending Super Bowl champions. There's little to recommend the Panthers here, and Seattle's defense should be able to limit the Panthers.
|Miami at Jacksonville
|Miami -6
|Miami -6
|Well, here's one game I called correctly. Miami is just too hot right now. This might be the gift of the week.
|Baltimore at Cincinnati
|Cincinnati -1
|Baltimore -2
|The Bengals certainly miss AJ Green, but more than the absence of their top player has to account for how wrong things have gone for them since their bye week. Baltimore, meanwhile, has looked mostly dominant this year. This is a revenge game for the Ravens, who lost to Cinci in week 1. Hard not to like a home dog, but the Ravens are the better team right now.
|Houston at Tennessee
|Tennessee -1.5
|Houston -3
|Ryan Fitzpatrick is not an elite NFL QB. But neither is anyone the Titans are going to put on the field.
|St. Louis at Kansas City
|Kansas City -3.5
|Kansas City -7
|Another intrastate rivalry game for this week. The Chiefs are the better team, but St. Louis can compete
|St. Louis
|Philadelphia at Arizona
|Arizona -3
|Arizona -1.5
|I think Philly will struggle to score against a defense as good as Arizona's.
|Indianapolis at Pittsburgh
|Indianapolis -5.5
|Indianapolis -3.5
|I'm not going to be fooled by Pittsburgh's win over a beat-up Texans team on Monday night.
|Oakland at Cleveland
|Cleveland -3.5
|Cleveland -7
|I mean…what? The Browns by more than three again? Oakland is not a good team, but I don't see them rolling over. I think Cleveland is one of those teams that plays up or down to their opponent.
|Green Bay at New Orleans
|Green Bay -3.5
|New Orleans -2.5
|In the same way Vegas seems to not want to give up on the story of the dominant Seahawks, they also appear to be struggling with coming to grips over how bad Drew Brees and the Saints are this year.
|Green Bay
|Washington at Dallas
|Dallas -6.5
|Dallas -10
|Wow. Wow. Yes, Washington is awful. And who knows if the QB who starts for them will finish the game as well.

Featured works: "Ne Songe Plus �? Fuir For Cello," "Earth For Trombone And Percussion," "Another Heavenly Day For E Flat Clarinet, Electric Guitar And Double Bass," "Negatives For 6 Players," and "Codeax I For 6 Players." "Barrett's work encompasses both composition and improvisation, ranging from chamber music to innovative uses of live electronics and collaborations with visual artists. Much of his work arises from close long-term collaborations, such as his association with Elision (since 1990) and the electronic duo Furt with Paul Obermayer (since 1986). His music is inspired by various art forms, especially the works of Samuel Beckett, the surrealist painter Roberto Matta and poet Paul Celan. His music has a complexity similar to that of composers like Michael Finnissy and Brian Ferneyhough. Richard Barrett was born in 1959 in Swansea (Wales), and currently lives in Amsterdam."

I have explained why I oppose Mr. Trump and why I see the country so differently than he does. In this final month leading up to Election Day, I will publish these "Letters to a Trump Supporter" on this blog. I will begin with the issue that started it all: undocumented immigration.
