Sasuke stared up at the man that stood stiffly in front of him. Pain filled his heart, but his pride wouldn't allow him to show that pain. A proud son of the elite Uchiha family, Sasuke was accustomed to always getting his way, and never having to give anything of his own away. Now, he stood watching everything slip from his grasp, the tighter he held on the more it seemed to slide away from him. It was an unfamiliar feeling and it made him angry. Anger he understood. Anger he could deal with. It had been months since he'd gotten so angry and while it was a relief for a moment, he felt shame quickly growing behind it because of all the lessons he'd learned in the past two years, the lesson about controlling his anger and the arrogance that usually went with it was the one he'd learned the quickest and the most completely.
As Sasuke remembered the way his life had been from the moment he'd met his tutor, his anger slipped away. Always before, he had been the spoiled younger son, pride of the Uchihas for his intelligence and potential. Too important to be trusted to the likes of just anyone, his parents had brought in a string of tutors since he uttered his first word, not trusting even the most highly touted private schools with their son's education. Sasuke always managed to chase every tutor away eventually, finding fault in every one and not wanting to learn from someone he viewed as lesser than himself. Things changed the day the tall silver haired, dark eyed Kakashi Hatake had walked into his room and introduced himself as Sasuke's new tutor. He knew that his parents had grown frustrated with the number of tutors Sasuke was going through, but seeing the stern look in those dark eyes as he peered lazily up at the older man, Sasuke began to get an inkling of just how frustrated his parents were. The man appeared lazy, emotionless, but his eyes belied that impression, burning with a dark intensity that immediately annoyed Sasuke. Before the man had even finished introducing himself, Sasuke had decided that he had to go, no matter what his parents may think. Already in a bad mood that day from a run-in with his smug older brother, Sasuke was more than ready to lash out at this stranger standing in his room. Drawing on lessons learned when he was younger, Sasuke dropped into a crouch, a precise fighting stance, and lashed out with his fist, aiming to land a blow to the older man's solar plexus, knowing this was the best way to deter him from keeping the job he'd been given. It had worked several times in the past for Sasuke.
The next thing Sasuke knew he was laying face-down on the floor, arm pinned painfully high on his back, hand pressed between his shoulder blades. When he moved as if to struggle, the older man had promptly settled a knee in the middle of his back, effectively putting a stop to any and all resistance as his weight settled on Sasuke. "Tsk, tsk, Sasuke-kun. Is that any way to greet your new tutor?" the older man had asked with a trace of amusement and annoyance in his voice. "Don't worry, your father informed me in great detail about your past and your general attitude. At the same time, he granted me permission to use any means necessary to turn you into the respectable young man that you should be. Any means, Sasuke-kun," he added in a crooning voice as he leaned over Sasuke, his breath brushing along the side of his face, "as long as I do you no permanent damage, is permitted. You remember that the next time you feel the desire to strike at me."
When Kakashi had finally let him him, Sasuke was so angry that he couldn't see straight. Kakashi had just stood back and watched him silently, amusement clear around his eyes, though his mouth remained free is any hint of a smile. Sasuke tested his new tutor several times over the first few weeks, though he gradually came to respect the man, and though he wasn't willing to admit it out loud, he started to look forward to their sessions every day. At first, he would lash out at the older man when his temper got the better of him, but after many punishments, several of which were embarrassing to the point of mortification to Sasuke, he'd learned to hold his temper in check until his tutor had left for the day. He'd slip out into the night, wandering the streets looking for fights. His parents questioned him often and angrily about the bruises and cuts he'd turn up with unexpectedly, but he would never tell them what was going on. Kakashi asked him once and Sasuke and turned away, looking pointedly at the book he had been reading under his teacher's orders. Kakashi had left him alone after that, never bothering to question him about the marks again. That was the moment Sasuke began to respect the older man.
Time passed and in spite of his early expectations Sasuke did learn from Kakashi, and he learned quite a bit. He picked up several lessons from the older man that perhaps his parents had never intended, but since Sasuke barely talked to anyone in his family, nobody knew that the youngest of the Uchihas was falling in love with his tutor. Sasuke was never sure quite when he started to love the man, but the first time he caught the heated looks Kakashi had begun to give him when he thought Sasuke was absorbed in some lesson or another, he became very aware of the growing feelings he had for the older man. On his sixteenth birthday, Sasuke had finally dared to confront the older man with his feelings and his thoughts on the way he was sure his tutor felt for him. Kakashi had been mortified and promptly dismissed the idea that he had feelings for his student, quickly packing up his things as if to leave, though their lessons for the day had only just barely begun. Sasuke had reached out and placed his hands over Kakashi's stopping the older man from packing away his books and forcing him to look back at him. Rather than say anything further, Sasuke had leaned in and pressed his lips to Kakashi's. The older man and stiffened and Sasuke pressed himself closer, trying to push past Kakashi's resistance. Gradually he felt his tutor relax, his lips beginning to move tentatively against Sasuke's. With each indrawn breath, Kakashi relaxed further into the kiss and took charge, teaching Sasuke to kiss as he'd taught him so many other things.
The sound of someone moving down the hall toward his room had snatched them from the moment and Kakashi had jerked back away from Sasuke, his hand flying up to his mouth as if it pained him. He looked back over his shoulder at Sasuke's open bedroom door for a moment, and when he looked back at Sasuke, his face had taken on it's usual indifferent mask. He finished gathering up his things in silence, then just before leaving he murmured a few instructions for lessons he wanted Sasuke to work on, then wished him a happy birthday and left just as his older cousin Obito walked into the room. It was nearly a week before Kakashi came back after that. Sasuke thought at first that the man was going to quit and he wasn't sure how he felt about that. He knew he would miss the man if he didn't come around every single day for their lessons, but at the same time he thought he had a better chance of winning Kakashi's love if they were no longer in the position of teacher and student. When Kakashi strolled into his room a week later, half an hour late for his lessons as was usual for him, he professed to have been down with the flu for the past week and apologized to Sasuke for missing his lessons. Not believing this excuse for a second, Sasuke turned on the older man, confronting him for running after their kiss. When Sasuke told him again that he loved him, Kakashi had quickly dismissed the kiss as a mistake, and one that wouldn't be repeated. Every time Sasuke brought the kiss up after that, Kakashi would always change the subject and give him even more work than usual. Eventually Sasuke stopped bringing it up, though he didn't miss the way those surreptitious looks continued.
His frustration growing, Sasuke began slipping out at night again a few months after that ill-fated encounter with his tutor. As he wandered the streets, it wasn't a fight that he sought, but a release of a very different sort. Though it wasn't ideal and it chaffed at his Uchiha pride, Sasuke found himself giving his virginity to some kind hearted prostitute that only slightly favored his teacher. The man seemed to understand Sasuke's need and didn't question it or comment when Sasuke called him Kakashi in the heat of his passionate first release. At first he was ashamed of what he had done, feeling that Kakashi would think less of him if he ever found out what he'd done, but gradually his need to find release that was constantly denied him sent him back out to the streets late at night again. Over time it became easier, but less satisfying for Sasuke until he found the thought of letting anyone other than Kakashi touch him filled him with such a dark despair he could barely breathe.
On his seventeenth birthday Sasuke meant to confront Kakashi one more time, but the older man called to wish Sasuke a happy birthday and informed him that he was giving him the day off from his lessons as a gift. When Sasuke's protests had shown no sign of changing the older man's mind, he'd snapped that his father would be very unhappy that his son wasn't receiving the lessons he was paying for.
"I have already spoken to your father, Sasuke-kun, and he gave his permission for you to have this day off. You've been working very hard lately, and we both felt you've earned the break. I will see you again tomorrow."
All arguments effectively blocked, Sasuke said his goodbyes through numb lips and hung up the phone. When Kakashi returned the next day, Sasuke immediately confronted him with his feelings and with his knowledge that the clandestine looks he was receiving from his tutor bore the same heat as the looks he was turning on the older man. Kakashi denied the looks and his feelings and Sasuke grew angry, but let it drop. He brought it up several more times over the next few months, each conversation having the same outcome. Finally, at the end of his endurance, Sasuke came to realize that it was time to let go; to give up on the man. Pride, finally bruised beyond the point that could be bore, welled up in Sasuke and he planned one more try; the last. That same pride was now trying to hold strong in the face of opposition he hadn't expected. In his mind, he knew that if he delivered his ultimatum, Kakashi would relent.
"I've been telling you for over a year that I'm in love with you, Kakashi. You haven't wanted to hear it. You won't even admit that you feel the same way for me, so I think it would be for the best if you just left now. I'll be starting college this spring, you've taught me all I need to know to get into the best college. It's over. Leave me what little pride I have left. Let's part now before this gets any more painful than it already is."
Kakashi stood staring down at Sasuke, his face a stiff wooden mask that hid all emotion, though his eyes were a flood of emotion that roiled too wildly for Sasuke to pick out any one emotion. As he began to think that the older man was still going to stand stiffly silent, staring at him, Kakashi finally spoke, voice quiet and oddly empty. "Sasuke-kun, don't do this."
"Do what? Get on with my life? Hold on to the tattered remains of my pride so that I at least have a chance to one day find someone who is willing to let himself love me back?" Sasuke finally snapped, a bit of his earlier anger returning, though it left just as quickly as it came. "I can't do this anymore, Kakashi, and I don't think you can either. I love you, and I know you love me. I can see it in your eyes when you think I'm not looking. If you're not willing to allow those feelings to be known, then you need to just leave."
"Sasuke-kun... we can't do this. It's not legal. It's not right," Kakashi tried again, his voice giving the barest hint of emotion: desperation.
"Bullshit," Sasuke snapped. "I'm seventeen now. It's not illegal. As for you being my tutor, as I said, I'm about to head off to college, so you won't be my tutor for much longer. And I don't care about right or wrong. I just know I want a chance to love you and be loved by you."
Sasuke watched the emotion leak out of Kakashi's eyes and finally push that wooden mask away as it played over his face as well. Finally resignation filled his eyes and his shoulders slumped. "I do love you, Sasuke-kun. I have almost from the moment we met. I ache to touch you, to hold you, to make love to you, but it's just not right. What would your family think?"
"What the hell do I care what they think?" Sasuke snapped, hands clenching into fists at his sides. "This isn't about them, this is about us!"
"I don't want to leave. I don't want you to push me away."
"Then it's time you decide: Are you going to love me, or are you going to keep denying it? I can't take this anymore. I need to either feel your touch, or I need you to be away from me so I can forget you. And I need you to be sure. I couldn't stand it if you gave me your love, then took it away from me again, drawing back like you did after our first kiss. So, decide Kakashi. Do you love me? Do you want me? Or are you going to leave me?"
"Sasuke," Kakashi whispered, dropping the affectionate, yet childish honorific from the end of his name for the first time since they'd met.
"Please, Kakashi, I can't take the hurt anymore. Just love me."
Kakashi stood stiffly for several minutes longer and Sasuke just held still, biting his tongue, his tattered pride not allowing him to beg any further. Just as he was about to give up for good, he saw Kakashi break, emotion pouring over his face. He caught and held his breath as Kakashi's resignation bled into a look of such need that Sasuke's breath remained locked in his chest until he started to grow slightly dizzy from his need to draw another breath. Kakashi's first step was hesitant and leaden, but the next came easier, and with the third he was rushing to close the distance between them. When he felt Kakashi arms at last wrap around him, Sasuke let out that held breath in a shuddering sigh, drawing in the next with a gasp as his arms lifted and wrapped around the older man. At last he felt everything fall into place, the happiness he'd been too long denied finally warming him as his life finally began.
AN: So, recently I've been extremely busy with life outside of the little world in my laptop. This means I've had no time for writing. At last things settle down and I have time to write once more. Sadly I find that my extended time without writing was a detriment to the functioning of my muse. After dealing with writer's block for a few days I gave up. Last night, a song I hadn't heard in at least 10 years popped into my head and I couldn't get it out. So, I went online and DLed the song. As I sat listening to it, this story began to form in my head. By the time I was able to sit down and give this story a chance to come out, it had built to this huge beast in my head that wouldn't be denied! So, on autopilot I wrote out this story late last night. I was relieved to be writing again when I finished and proud of the story though I only vaguely knew what I'd written. ;) This morning when I did my reread edit I decided I had a right to be proud. I think this turned out quite well and I love the entwined angst and fluff.
The song, for those that are curious is the same as the title. One More Try by George Michael. You younger folks likely haven't a clue who he is since the song is from the 80s, but I still think it's worth checking out. It's a beautiful love song (IMO), and was the inspiration for this story.
As always, thanks in advance for faves and for reading. A special thanks for those of you that have read all of my ramblings down here. ;)

Grand Canyon University Reverses "Discriminatory" LGBT Policy
GrandCanyonU/Creative Commons
Grand Canyon University announced today that it is reversing a long-standing policy and will now extend equal health and employment benefits to its same-sex married employees.
The decision comes after months of public and media scrutiny and a promise by GCU President Brian Mueller to revisit the official policy.
In a lengthy letter issued today on the subject, the university reiterated its deeply held Christian values but said it recognized that national legal changes meant the school needed to re-evaluate its policy:
"Since its inception in 1949, Grand Canyon University has been founded upon strong Christian principles and a commitment to the full inspiration of Scripture as the infallible, true and authoritative Word of God . . .
"As such, GCU's sincerely held religious belief is that the Bible is clear about marriage being a sacred union between a man and a woman, which will continue to be espoused throughout the University's curriculum and classrooms . . .
"GCU is making a conscious choice to maintain its religious beliefs, while respecting and honoring its neighbors, as well as the system of government and laws that exist today, by extending employee benefits to spouses of lawfully married same-sex couples…
"The University's decision to extend benefits has been made freely and without compulsion by the state. The University has voluntarily chosen to extend benefits as a way of demonstrating grace and compassion toward individuals and families that are affected by our decision."
Though the letter's authors, presumably conscious of their audience, went to great lengths to assure that the change "[does] not and will not change GCU's sincerely held religious belief that marriage is a sacred union between a man and a woman," the new policy is hailed as a victory by many here.
"We were really pleased that they made this change," Victoria Lopez, legal director of the Arizona American Civil Liberties Union, says. "It's the right decision for GCU to make [and] it means a great deal for the employees and their families that need benefit."
After being contacted by GCU employees — both professors and other faculty — who said the school's benefits policies were discriminatory, Lopez wrote a letter to Mueller about the issue in August:
"The denial of benefits to LGBT employees in same-sex marriages is in violation of federal law and severely harms those employees and their families," she writes. "GCU has a legal and ethical duty to provide full employment benefits to LGBT employees in same-sex marriages."

A few weeks later, she received a response from Mueller, explaining that the university would be re-evaluating many of its human resources policies in November, and that it would consider whether to extend benefits to families of LGBT employees.
Today's announcement was GCU's answer.
"It really is a step in the direction of saying that there shouldn't be laws and policies that are based in religious [doctrine] that are being used to discriminate," Lopez says, adding that one of the two initial clients who came to her about the issue called her this morning and said she was "moved to tears" by the decision.
"So as we're thinking about how this issue is playing out in other contexts, [what happened today proves] thoughtful consideration about how to balance religious beliefs with fairness and policies that are not discriminatory [is possible]."

Like Crazy Enjoys Crazy Good Arthouse Opening
Taking $120,000 in weekend box office generally won't raise a Hollywood bean counter's eyebrow. It's certainly was not enough lucre for Santa Ana-bred filmmaker Drake Doremus' Like Crazy to crack the top 10 in overall estimated box office for the weekend past. But playing on only four screens in New York and Los Angeles, the transatlantic love story enjoyed one of the highest arthouse openings of the year. That's because Like Crazy's per-screen average was $30,000, far beating the next best when it came to that economic indicator, the No. 1 movie in America Puss in Boots, with $8,603 per screen (and $34 million total in nationwide distribution).
In third when it came to per-screen average was another relatively small film, Martha Marcy May Marlene, which tallied $7,517 per each of the 32 screens it played on in its second week of release.
Like Crazy's per screen average for the opening weekend dwarfed the $18,117 earned for the entire theatrical run of Doremus' 2010 film Douchebag.

Paramount snatched Like Crazy for its Paramount Vantage label just after the film won the dramatic grand jury prize at January's Sundance Film Festival, and it headed into the final days before its opening with well-timed television advertising and a New York Times story about no dialogue being in the script written by Doremus and Corona del Mar's Ben York Jones. Then came glowing reviews by Entertainment Weekly's Lisa Schwarzbaum (who gave "this glowing little award-winner" an A-), USA Today's Claudia Puig ("it's the rare love story that honestly conveys the giddy joys and sorrows of two people besotted with each other"), and the Los Angeles Times' Kenneth Turan ("it brings both intimacy and delicacy to the push and pull of love, longing and regret").

I'd previously reported that Like Crazy cost under $1 million to make. When I moderated an audience Q&A with Jones following a sneak-peak Orange County Film Society screening at the Lido in Newport Beach last Wednesday, he informed it was much less than $300,000. Indiewire has blogged the total at $250,000--while also noting Doremus shot it with a $1,500 hand-held camera.
Like Crazy is scheduled to roll out into Orange County on Nov. 11.

Don't get me wrong. I think both men and women who resort to constant misogynistic and misandric rants as their own questions here on GAG or behind the computers in general, based on their own individually poor experience, are nothing but pathetic losers who always go anonymous out of fear of consequences and refuses to see anything wrong with themselves at all but I wonder why misandric rants never get flagged and removed here on GAG.
Here's one that still isn't removed.
Most Helpful Girl
She's asking for help to get over her hatred of men, not ranting about how much she hates men, why she hates them and everyone should follow her. She realises it's wrong and she states it's because of the hurt they've caused her. She's an upset woman who I can relate to.
Misogyny is more prevalent here than misandry. If a woman or even a man wrote nothing but insults about men, that they're superior to men etc, then it would be removed but that woman in question didn't break any rules.00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
It is a much complicated question and beyond being "anti-men" and "anti-women", I personally won't remove it because it doesn't qualify to be offensive. It doesn't claim that all women are deceitful whores (with those terms) or anything harsh, really. Did you think it was offensive? I didn't think it was offensive, and I am a guy.00|00|0
Maybe not a offensive but a little whiney. Sorry if I sound harsh but all I hear are constant whining here. It's not like any of the female and male GAG users would even bother trying to help this person if it was a male asking for help overcoming his hatred of women.
Honestly, it has to do with wording. She didn't claim all men should die or some other things. There's a line for it.

It's called "The Swerve."
As of 4:10 p.m. on November 17, there is not a definition for "The Swerve" on Urban Dictionary. This means the phrase–in internet culture and IRL slang–does not yet exist. So what is "The Swerve"? Let us direct that question to Victoria's Secret model Adriana Lima. "The Swerve", it appears, is your new favorite dance craze or something.

Choose from Four Options
- C$197 for a Bold wall-mount fireplace (C$395 value)
- C$197 for a small L white freestanding fireplace (C$395 value)

- C$297 for an Altitude black freestanding fireplace (C$595 value)
Freestanding fireplace designs can augment tabletops, floors, and even outdoor surfaces with dancing flames for 360-degree warmth, while the wall-mounted model boxes a more traditional look in a modern, metal-fusion frame. Customers can pick up their fireplace at ModFlame's Columbus Road location, or pay an additional $30–$50 fee for delivery. Click here for fireplace FAQs.
Common sense advises against playing with fire but says nothing about framing it responsibly and stylishly. ModFlame's catalogue of modern fireplaces sets flames within sleek, contemporary designs that are entirely self-contained and eco-friendly. Freestanding models enable owners to move the heat source throughout their home, whether they are shifting the Altitude's impressive pillar into the dining room or simply lifting the Eco's rectangular base from the floor to the table. Certain fireplaces can even function in both indoor and outdoor spaces. Alternatively, stainless-steel frames characterize attractive wall mounts, such as the convex Curve or the black-and-silver Horizon.
The fires subsist on bio-ethanol, a renewable fuel source that doesn't cast off harmful emissions and negates the need for wood or electrical and gas hookups. ModFlame customers can replenish their bio-ethanol supply through the company itself or at most supermarkets, hardware stores, and petrol stations. Each crisp design also comes with an extinguisher tool, allowing spectators to easily switch off the fire when the birthday guest fails to blow it out.

|Artemis Fowl character
|Dr. Damon Kronski
|Hair colour
|Leader of Extinctionists
|First appearance
|The Time Paradox
|Last appearance
|The Time Paradox
Dr. Damon Kronski is the leader of the Extinctionists, a group who disposes of the last of endangered species. Their policy is that if a creature is of no positive and immediate use to humans, then kill it. They believe useless animals have no right to use Earth's resources, grow fat, or live happily or comfortably if all humans can't enjoy these lifestyles.
Dr. Damon Kronski is an Extinctionist, to whom Artemis Fowl II sold the endangered silky sifaka lemur for 100,000 euros when he was ten in The Time Paradox. Because of the mindwipe inflicted by N*1, Artemis believes that he successfully sells the lemur and Kronski kills it during an Extinctionist meeting. However, when Holly and Artemis go back in time and alter it, they steal the lemur, whom they name Jayjay, and bring it back to the present.
Kronski is one of the villains in "The Time Paradox". He is disgusting to Artemis, due to his hatred of animals. The Hummer he owns, his clothing, and his home's furniture is all clad in rare or endangered animal's fur or body parts. Kronski also talks with a New Orleans accent, speaking the name Artemis as "Ah-temis", although when he believes he's been tricked by him, he "suddenly had no trouble pronouncing his name".
He's described as a big man with red and white hair and a head that starts into his shoulders just below the ears. Damon has translucent skin with lots of freckles and always wears a pair of violet sunglasses, during daytime and night, that stay in place by the folds in his eyebrows and cheeks. His smile is broad, shining and insincere.
When he was young, it is revealed that he had a bad experience with a koala, leading him to have developed a horrible shriek which he uses when he is frightened. He was also born with anosmia, the inability to smell odors. We see that Kronski has a sadistic sense of humor when he uses his lack of smell in a vengeful way. He chooses a terribly foul smelling souk (outdoor market in an Arab city) in Morocco, Africa for the rendezvous point for the exchange of the coveted lemur. In this way, he finds it funny to enjoy the tormented look on ten year old Artemis's face at the exchange while he himself is unaffected. Ironically, toward the end of the book, his downfall occurs when he stands between Holly and freedom in the souk. She decides to use her last spark of magic to heal him...or heal his sense of smell, rather. As she does this, his nose is overpowered by the new, horrible scents, and he is driven to the ground from pain. He never appears again in the book.
- It is possible that Kronski went into some other form of business after Artemis put an end to the Extinctionists, as Artemis stayed in the Kronski Hotel in Munich in the Opal Deception, possibly meaning that Kronski runs that hotel and even put his name on it. Although it's also possible that an admirer of Kronski's work named it after him.
- Extinctionists are real, no matter what anyone thinks.
- In the book called Click by Eoin Colfer and nine other authors, a character appears in Colfer's chapter called Mr Kronski, who owns an antique shop.
- "The exctinctionists are not just an organisation. We are a religion. "
- ― Kronski in an interview
- "You gonna' smell it, ah' you, Ah-temis?"
- ―The Time Paradox
- "I am on the verge of greatness. Soon my name will be mentioned in the same sentence as the Bobby Jo Haggard or Jo Bobby Saggart. The great evangelist Extinctionists. Damon Kronski, the man who saved the world."
- ―Kronski becoming giddy at the Extinctionists Banquet
- "People say that we Extinctionists hate animals, but this is not the case. We do not hate poor dumb animals, rather we love humans."
- ―The Time Paradox

I had scanned a network range over the wan a few times before I actually setup a remote collector at that office. I deleted the scan range from the Spiceworks server, but when the Remote Collector scanned and sent over the network info, everything is doubled.
How do I get rid of all the old scans? I would like to keep just the info sent from the remote collector rather than the scan I did over the WAN.
This topic was created during version 4.5.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Also, Diskviewer on the Dashboard now shows 2 of each server
Mar 4, 2010 at 12:35 UTC
I would be interested in this answer, as I have been scanning over the WAN and am looking into setting up the Remote Collector.
Mar 4, 2010 at 12:44 UTC
The only way is to manually delete duplicates. You can either do it one by one or use the bulk delete function but at this time there is no simple way to easily both find and de-duplicate devices, you can search visually or maybe run a report but either way it's tedious if you have a large network and multiple sites like I do.
When I took over the system ,there were so many problems that I ended up actually doing a completely new install (this was before I dealt with remote collectors). What I do now to find garbage is run a report to find devices that have not been updated in over X days.... then trash those if I know about it...
Also, you could look at inventory in list view, list by either IP or Name, and then scan through that for duplicates and figure things out that way...
Mar 17, 2010 at 3:41 UTC
akp982 is an IT service provider.
Did you manage to get this sorted?
If so could you mark best answer and any helpful posts?
Also Spiceworks 4.6 is out make sure you update :-)
May 8, 2011 at 5:40 UTC
I know this is an old post but I've just done set up a remote collector having had a single server for a couple of years, now I have duplicate entries for all my remote offices. Is there an easy way to delete duplicates now we're at Spicworks 5?
I'd have thought SW would realise its the same device and just update the existing entry?

Living in your own is a mixture of excitement and melancholy. Though it was my second time to work in Singapore since 2015. The feeling is still the same. There is a part of me yelling FREEDOM! and the love to discover things or live the adult life in my hands. But of course staying in a country, where more than half of the people you used to be with are not around, is a bit sad. You eventually create new memories. But for some, like me who is too emotional when it comes to separation, it's not that easy.

This property has been Sold!

Large, mostly renovated farm house just east of Baldwin on 1.5 acres. Great year-around home or recreational getaway. Lots of room for a garden. Just 1/10th of a mile from trails for access to hundreds of miles of snowmobiling and bicycling. There are also motorcycle trails in the vicinity. Would be a great for hunters or fishermen too! Home seems to be sturdy with vinyl siding and replacement windows. Interior mostly updated, main bath still needs some work. Heated at this time with only wood.

Bedload transport in large tropical rivers and its effect on dry-season pool habitat
The pools that remain in northern Australian rivers during the long dry season provide an important refuge for stream fauna and flora and are often culturally significant. There is a common perception, however, that many of these riverine waterholes are being filled by sands. Changes in land-use upstream and the effects of climate change have been suggested as causes for sand accumulation. This project sought to determine, whether there was evidence for sustained infilling of pools within two north Australian river catchments.

The small fishing village of Edo was fortified in 1457 with Edo Castle (The Imperial Palace now stands at this location) and became one of the largest cities in the world by the 18th C. Its stringent policy of seclusion ended in 1854 and opened Japan to outside trade. In 1869, the 17-year-old Emperor Meiji moved to Edo, and the city was renamed Tokyo (meaning Eastern Capital). In the 20th C the city was hit by the 1923 Great Kanto earthquake, and WWII firebombing more info

Diamond Princess Overview
Diamond Princess will return to Sydney from Singapore in December 2017, after which she will sail to Pacific islands and Tasmania, but mostly circumnavigate New Zealand (over 12 nights). Auckland will also be an embarkation port. Meanwhile, Diamond Princess is based in Singapore. Around the middle of 2017 she sails around Japan out of Yokohama and Kobe. For the other months she sails to Bali (Indonesia), Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam from Singapore. Princess Cruises organises on-shore tours that can be booked before sailing or during the cruise. For some voyages pre- and post-cruises tours are available to extend your stay in major ports.
There are six types of cabin and 35 price categories: insides, outsides (some obstructed), balcony cabins, outside mini-suites (with and without balconies) and balcony suites. Cabins are roomy and nicely appointed, with satellite TV access to major channels. Standard cabins are practical and attractive, many have additional upper berths for children, and some have inter-connecting doors. The larger the stateroom, the more additional facilities. All guests receive turndown service, chocolates on pillow at night, bathrobes and amenity kits, and complimentary room service on most items 24 hours a day. There are no single cabins, 28 wheelchair-accessible cabins, and some cabins accommodate families of three and four.
Food and Dining
Traditional dining in the International Dining Room offers you a pre-selection of one of two seating times throughout the cruise. Anytime Dining (sitting when and with whom you choose) is offered in the four other dining rooms. All serve five course meals changed daily, with chefs inducted into the prestigious Chaîne des Rôtisseurs gastronomic society. Sabatini's serves Italian cuisine, Sterling Steakhouse serves steak and seafood, and there's Kai Sushi (all for an extra cover charge). Dress code is smart casual, and on cruises longer than three days dress for a formal night for every week of sailing. Breakfast and lunch are provided in an open seating arrangement. (Of course a continental breakfast can be delivered to your stateroom, and there is a stateroom menu.) Passengers booked in cabins with balconies can order several special, romantic meals to be served restaurant-style on the verandah - Ultimate Balcony Dining. Order special dietary requests before sailing.
As for entertainment, there is more than can be squeezed into a week. The Princess Theatre is two decks high, featuring glamorous production shows every second or third evening. The Vista Show Lounge with its three stages presents cabaret, and doubles for lectures, bingo and horse-racing during the day. Explorer's Lounge hosts cabaret acts and dance bands. Movies first-run feature films pool-side at Under the Stars on Sun Deck. There are 12 bars and lounges with live music and dancing. A new feature is the new three-deck-high street-cafe-style Piazza, for sipping coffee and watching the occasional passing performer. Stroll around and shop duty-free, or check your email at the Internet Café.

An Illustration of How Much I've Lost It
Chris (the boy) is working an insane number of hours as am I (I don't know if I've mentioned that 56,765 times on this site before). We've both kind of adopted this homeless person mentality wherein we fall asleep anywhere we can find wearing our ironically-named "street" clothes, then getting up and immediately returning back to the proverbial drawing board. Our house is an air condition-less wreck, we both fight a losing battle with perma-stench, and the refrigerator...oh lawdy don't even get me started about that (hint: smells like Grim Reaper breath...like the people, French cheese will turn on you like that [imagine be snapping my fingers and giving you a merciless scowl and maybe even a menacing finger-point if you like]).
How exhausted we both are (him MUCH more so than me) has turned into a comedic series of half-conversations that start out normal, but then end with out-of-nowhere questions like "do you think I suck at life? I mean, be honest here" (anyone who has to ask their significant other if they "suck at life" automatically does, that really should set you up for the climactic conclusion of this story) or it ends with hysterical laughter at something that isn't funny at all.
Today I was eating bread with cheese (as I am wont to do) and I found myself holding the bread more like a cigarette and less like a delicious semi-meal. For some reason, I thought that the image of someone smoking a piece of bread with cheese on it was funny. Not just funny, hilarious. Not just hilarious, so hilarious that a photo of that image needs to be taken just so the original hilarity of the idea can be relived at any moment of the day and shown to the boyfriend upon his arrival home. I mean, what's not TOTALLY HILARIOUS about that huh? HUH? 1 glorious nap later (after having a dream involving a friend from high school and shrapnel...I don't know either), I woke up to realize that the only thing lamer than thinking bread-smoking is funny is posting about it online, so here you go. I call this one: For God Sakes Take A Nap Woman!.

OCVarsity's scouting report for the Garden Grove League:
1. Garden Grove: It all starts up front for the Argonauts and they have big and good onen this year, led by junior Peslao Gauta. The Argonauts have won five consecutive league titles and has the look of a team capable of picking up No. 6.
2. Rancho Alamitos: The offensive unit should be impressive, with eight starters back, led by quarterback Blake Culbert. They have the look of the team most capable of dethroning the Argonauts as league champion.
3. Los Amigos: The Lobos have a strong nucleus returning on both sides of the ball. The key to their success will be getting production out of the ground attack. The defense is loaded with seniors ready to lead the way back to the playoffs.
4. La Quinta: The Aztecs could become the surprise team of the league if things break their way. Coach Andy Diaz is going to open up the offense, led by sophomore quarterback Michael Nadeau.
5. Santiago: Another team with a wealth of returners. The Cavaliers have 13 back and will rely on their junior and senior class to bounce back from a disappointing 2015.
6. Bolsa Grande: New coach Doug Cooper is embracing the challenge of turning around the Matadors program. He has a good foundation with 14 starters returning this year.
1. Garden Grove, 36 poll points (6)
2. Rancho Alamitos, 29
3T. Los Amigos, 19
3T. La Quinta, 19
5. Santiago, 14
6. Bolsa Grande, 9
How the poll works: The coaches do the voting. First-place votes (shown in parentheses) are worth 6 points, second are worth 5, etc.
Michael Nadeau, La Quinta, QB: These are interesting times around the La Quinta football program as sophmore quarterback Nadeau takes over. Coach Andy Diaz said he is getting back to his roots of throwing the ball a lot more this year, and he believes Nadeau has all the tools and talents to be special. Diaz said Nadeau can throw, run, has size (6-foot-3) and can make all the reads.
Mario Moemoe, Garden Grove, CB: Moemoe earned third team all-county honors last season with nine interceptions. He was a threat whenver he touched the ball, scoring four touchdowns.
Blake Culbert, Rancho Alamitos, QB: Culbert put up big numbers last year and will lead a potentially high-powered offense against this season.
Tony Ta, La Quinta, WR: An intriguing player. Ta is 6'4 and joined football last year. Coach Andy Diaz said Ta had a breakout summer, it will interesting to see if it continues during the season.
Steven Hernandez, Los Amigos, WR/SS: Coach Carl Agnew said Hernandezz did it all last year and that's going to be case again this year.
Angel Tajimaroa, Santiago, QB: Tajimaroa saw limited action last year and put up decent numbers. He's the starter this season for the Cavaliers.
Andrew Guillien, Bolsa Grande, QB: The junior has been in the program for three years and he's one of the offensive captains. Coach Doug Cooper highlights Guillen's work ethic and athleticism.
Rancho Alamitos at Garden Grove, Oct. 20: The showdown for the league title. Can the Vaqueros supplant the Argonauts as league champions?
Los Amigos at La Quinta, Oct. 27: This game probably decides who secures third place. Last year's game total 107 points (55-52).
Garden Grove vs. Pacifica at Bolsa Grande, Sept. 16: Fun nonleague matchup featuring the Argonauts and Mariners, good test to see where both teams are early in the season.
Santiago vs. La Quinta at Bolsa Grande, Oct. 7: League opener for both games, the Cavaliers have the Argonauts one week later, while the Aztecs have the Vaqueros.

Happy Monday everyone! Where did the weekend go? I didn't even do anything really but it went once again super fast. Well today I have a card I made to play along with Practicing Creativity & since I have this cute little set from them & am truly guilty of only using it a couple of time I said NOW is the time. When I looked at it , it screams Summer so I thought how can I change the seasons on Barefoot Summer So this is what I came up with :
Not bad right? Christmas it is! Everywhere you go its seems we have forwarded to it so I'm trying to catch up. For my little ornaments I used my 1/2 punch and doodled on them with my gel & glitter pen. Colored in my leaves w/my Copics. For my Sentiment I dusted off Teeny Tiny Wishes from Stampin Up as well as the background--Dots,Dots, Dots of the card I wanted to give a semi distressed background so I scattered stamped the dots background . Punched out a little scallop border & adhered some bling. Little card is ready for Christmas.
My bow was made w/some of that yumo ribbon my awesome friend Deb sent me I will be using it loads because she sent me a HUGE roll of it.. LOVE IT!
Well that's all for me I have loads to do before I head out this afternoon. Hope you have a wonderful day and as always thank you so much for stopping by!
Happy October Christmas

So you've compiled the market research, crunched the numbers and completed you business plan. Now, the real work begins. Before you submit your business plan to investors, get another set of eyes to look at it. Then, create a business proposal or executive summary to hook potential investors and lenders. Do your homework on your prospects and seek out investor groups that specialize in your industry. Lastly, when it's time to take action, do so -- immediately.
Second Opinion
The business plan is your company's road map to success. It shows how you plan to get there. Many first-time entrepreneurs may leave out key components, which could be disastrous when presenting to investors or venture capitalists. Just like a term paper in school, you may discover through revisiting it you can do better. Meet up with veterans in your industry and get their opinions on your plan. Their candor will save you time, money and heartache.
Business Proposal
Executive summaries or business proposals should be completed after the business plan. Many business owners make the mistake of writing it first. Just like a sportscaster giving highlights of a game that hasn't finished yet -- it doesn't work. Your executive summary must convey a deep familiarity of satisfying an unfulfilled need. Consider including past testimonials from previous clients. The objective of your business proposal is to get the investor excited about your company.
Shop Around
Investors, lenders and venture capitalists can specialize in certain industries. You can dramatically increase your odds of securing funding by finding groups that prefer businesses like yours. Investors are everywhere, but generally prefer face-to-face meetings when investing their funds. Accordingly, be prepared to go to them. Even if you plan to meet with dozens of banks and investor groups, customize each pitch to your audience to maximize impact.
Plans weren't made to be filed away and forgotten. They were made to be implemented. Your leadership will be vital to achieving what's written in your plan. Identify experts in your industry and gain best practices from them. If you have a staff, ensure that they are fully supported and trained, especially if they represent your company's first contact with your customers. Taking swift and decisive action may make it possible to recover from any plan shortcomings.

It took nine hours of negotiations to reach an accord between Moscato growers and Moscato d'Asti bottlers in Piedmont last week, thus averting an 11th-hour crisis for grape growers.
Claudio Sacchetto, regional assessor for the Piedmont agriculture authority, claimed victory, noting that the new 2-year contract brought higher prices for grape growers and helped to bolster their security by establishing new guidelines for yields and by limiting the amount of wine spumante producers can reserve at any given time (bottlers often reserve wine to be bottled and shipped as demand increases).
A spokesman for bottlers, Lorenzo Barbero (Campari) told an interviewer that "we could have reached an agreement much sooner" and called the agreement "counter productive," noting that bottlers would have preferred to pay more for higher quality grapes instead of paying a fixed rate for the entire harvest.
The news of an agreement arrives in tandem with an announcement by Italian agricultural minister Giancarlo Galan that he has approved emergency distillation of 220,000 hectoliters of Barbera, Dolcetto, and Brachetto that Piedmont producers have been unable to sell.
"The entire administration is committed to addressing this serious crisis faced by some of the most celebrated DOCG and DOC wines in Piedmont, a land of excellence in the world of wine," said the minister in a statement.
The announcement comes in the wake of a large protest organized by Piedmont winemakers and grape growers earlier this month in Asti.
