How to install comodo firewall so it functions well with antivirus  (no conflicts)

    Download the Free Comodo Firewall program.
    Find the file that was just downloaded and double click on it to run it.
    A small window will pop up asking you to select the language – select your desired language.
    A larger window will pop up with some options.
    Uncheck “Change my DNS servers to COMODO SecureDNS servers”.
    Uncheck “I want to enable “Cloud Based Behavior Analysis”.
    At the bottom of the window click on “Customize Installer”.
    You will now see a window with more options.
    On the first window uncheck “Install COMODO GeekBuddy”.
    Go back to the main window and click on “Accept and Install”.

Note: By disabling some of these features, we are installing the basic firewall functionality.  This will help insure that there will be no conflicts with other software that you may have running on your computer yet still give you the protection of a firewall.

 Ingredients:

Cake:
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons cocoa
4 tablespoons red food coloring
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup buttermilk
2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
 
Icing:
5 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter, room temperature
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions:
1.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease two 9-inch round pans.
2.
Beat shortening and 1 1/2 cups sugar until very light and fluffy. Add eggs and beat well.
3.
Make a paste of cocoa and red food coloring; add to creamed mixture. Mix salt, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and buttermilk together. Add the flour to the batter, alternating with the milk mixture, mixing just until incorporated. Mix soda and vinegar and gently fold into cake batter. Don't beat or stir the batter after this point.
4.
Pour batter into prepared pans. Bake in preheated oven until a tester inserted into the cake comes out clean, about 30 minutes. Cool cakes completely on wire rack.
5.
To Make Icing: Cook 5 tablespoons flour and milk over low heat till thick, stirring constantly. Let cool completely! While mixture is cooling, beat 1 cup sugar, butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla until light and fluffy. Add cooled flour mixture and beat until frosting is a good spreading consistency. Frost cake layers when completely cool.

HE STORY:

THE TEACHER is the coming of adulthood story of Vance Stewart. Young, white and idealistic, Vance has always been successful in everything he has done. Now he faces his biggest challenge, teaching in a NYC public high school. Vance doesn’t want to be a traditional, “authoritarian” teacher who stands up in front of the classroom and lectures all day. He wants to be a different kind of teacher – creative, original. He wants to give his students a voice, to hear their stories.

His ideals are put to the test when his students challenge his every step and misstep. Despite his best intentions, his students see him as just another teacher and they interrupt, ignore, question, and resist his efforts.
