Choosing the Right Trip
We work hard to help you choose the right trip for you, paying attention to your individual interests, abilities, and needs. If you have questions about the level of comfort or any of the activities described in this itinerary, please contact us.
We are proud to have an exceptionally high rate of repeat travelers. For more information, we would be happy to put you in touch with a client who has traveled with us.
By wind, waves, and stars the ancient people of Polynesia ventured to the farthest reaches of the South Pacific. Isolated by miles of ocean over thousands of years, these fascinating island cultures developed a pantheon of gods, myths, and legends that remain to this day. We uncover this captivating narrative as we voyage from French Polynesia and the Cook Islands to the Kingdom of Tonga and the isles of Fiji. Warm cultural encounters, spectacular natural beauty, nature hikes, fantastic snorkeling over vivid coral reefs—it's no wonder we are drawn to the South Seas' magical shores.
Days 1-3
Papeete, Tahiti / Raiatea / Taha'a
Arrive in Papeete, embark on the Caledonian Sky, and set sail for Raiatea, the cultural heart of all French Polynesia. Recognized throughout Tahiti as its "Sacred Island," Raiatea was the center of religion and culture more than 1,000 years ago. Historians believe it was the main stopover for early Polynesians newly arrived from Hawaii and it still lends enchantment to ancient legends told to this day. Our morning island tour includes a visit to celebrated Mt. Temehani. On the neighboring island of Taha'a, where the rich aroma of vanilla lingers heavily in the air, we get a glimpse of the traditional, tranquil life of the Tahitians.
Day 4
Bora Bora
One of the most stunning islands on the planet, Bora Bora's interior is crowned by majestic eroded volcanic formations and a distinctive black basaltic peak. Our tour brings us past colorful villages, archaeological sites, and World War II relics, and ends with a cocktail at the infamous Bloody Mary's bar. The afternoon is free to explore independently or snorkel in the clear waters.
Day 5
Atiu, Cook Islands
Our first stop in the Cook Islands is the small island of Atiu, and with only 560 residents, we are guaranteed a special welcome. We join a local bird expert to search for Rarotonga monarch, chattering kingfisher, Cook Islands fruit dove, and Atiu swiftlets, or take an island tour that includes James Cook's landing site from 1777, the coffee plantations, and a visit to some of the local houses.
Day 6
Aitutaki, Cook Islands
On Aitutaki, we can snorkel in a lagoon famous for its fascinating coral formations and brightly hued tropical fish, or explore the island's lush forests, the sleepy village of Arutanga, home to the oldest church in the Cook Islands, see the lush forest of Nikaupara, and enjoy breathtaking views from the top of Maunga Pu.
Days 7-8
Palmerston Island / At Sea
The engaging history of the William Masters family comes alive as we meet the descendants of this eccentric 19th century Englishman who took three native brides. We will be welcomed by the local officials before enjoying a walking tour with our local guides. Extremely fine handicrafts are made on this island and here the birdwatchers should catch sight of the red-tailed tropic birds. We also have a chance to snorkel from the beach where large coral blocks team with goatfish, boxfish, groupers, stingrays, and turtles. Day 7 is at sea.
Day 9
In the island-country of Niue, we explore Alofi village and stop at the Philatelic Bureau, where some of the world's most sought-after stamps may be purchased. At Matapa Chasm, a secluded cleft in the sea cliffs, we discover the perfect swimming hole.
Day 10
Vava'u, Tonga
After crossing the International Date Line, we arrive in Vava'u in the kingdom of Tonga. The snorkeling here is magnificent, with more than 150 different species of colorful fish, and we hope to see the graceful black-and-yellow angelfish and curious clown fish on the surrounding reefs.
Day 11
Ha'apai Islands, Tonga
We arrive at the Ha'apai group, a string of 62 islands with lagoons, barrier reefs, and active volcanoes. The islands have a rich maritime history: Abel Tasman was the first European to visit the islands in 1643, while Captain James Cook visited twice in the 1770s. But the most famous event was the mutiny of the HMS Bounty, which occurred between the islands of Lifuka and Tofua. It was on the island of Tofua that Captain William Bligh landed after being cast off from the Bounty with limited provisions and nautical equipment. A hostile reception from the islanders meant they quickly fled to sea again, but we hope to receive a warm welcome as we land today. Tropical forests grow along gentle slopes here and at the center of the island is the volcanic crater, with a clear blue lake at its base. We can hike to a lake with our naturalists along a trail that leads through a spectacular forest full of birds, unique tree ferns, and ironwood.
Day 12
Fulaga, Fiji
Our first call in Fiji is Fulaga, famous for its woodcarving and the crafting of large outrigger canoes. More than 100 tiny islands in the Fulaga Lagoon have been undercut into extraordinary mushroom shapes and the surrounding waters are tinged with striking colors by the dissolved limestone.
Day 13
Taveuni, Fiji
On Taveuni, the "Garden Island," we take a 4WD vehicle to Dos Voeux Peak for fantastic views of Taveuni and across to Lake Tagimoucia. Here we also see tropical plants, palms, and rainforest, and hope to spot spectacular birdlife such as orange breasted doves, silktails, ferntails, and parrots. Or, we can join a walking trip to Bouma Heritage Park to see waterfalls and enjoy a swim. The view from the highest waterfall is spectacular! We also visit a traditional Fijian village, watch a cooking demonstration, and enjoy fantastic snorkeling opportunities.
Days 14-15
Savusavu, Vanua Levu
Often referred to as Fiji's hidden paradise, Savusavu is much the same as it was 30 years ago. Originally a trading center for sandalwood and copra, it is nowadays a small bustling town with an interesting heritage. We disembark in Lautoka on Day 15 and enjoy an island tour before flights home.
What the Trip is Like
The trip is rated Level 1, Easiest, and is appropriate for anyone in good health who is physically active. Zodiac landing crafts are used to explore the coastline and transport passengers ashore for walks to wildlife sanctuaries, scenic nature areas, and local towns and villages. There are also ample opportunities for swimming and snorkeling. Some agility is required for getting in and out of the Zodiac landing crafts.

The Kansas City Chiefs selected a pass rusher to add onto their roster with their first pick in the draft by taking Dee Ford out of Auburn. Ford is one of the top pass rushers in the draft and can really chase after the quarterback.
The Chiefs might be preparing to lose Tamba Hali next offseason and will fill his spot with Dee Ford. In a division with Philip Rivers and Peyton Manning, the Kansas City Chiefs need to find ways to get after the quarterback and force them to make quick throws. Ford is one of the best at it and will be able to help in that department.
The Chiefs will be able to force things on defense. They will be able to make things happen on the defensive side of the ball and will be able to force more turnovers. They will be chasing after quarterbacks all day on defense.
Ford will give the team a nice pass rusher to get after quarterbacks.

20 notes &
So I asked Alan and Paul if they could fix Ohta San's uke. This is what happened. Alan took on the job.
See how serious he was when it comes to fixing the ukulele. The stake is high. This is THE UKULELE that has been with Ohta San for over 50 years. I told Alan, "Uncle Herb said he doesn't care how it looks. Just glue it."
Alan said "But I care. This is my work."
He really meant it.
ผมบอก Alan ว่า Ohta San ไม่แคร์ครับขอให้แค่ติดกาวให้ก็พอ แต่ Alan แคร์ครับ … มากด้วย
Stay tuned for how Alan fixed THE UKULELE.

Not as great as it should have been
posted 5 years ago
I really thought this would be a hit with all the cats. It has big chunks of real fish & looks really fresh. Unfortunately, all the cats didn't seem to agree with my assessment. One wouldn't eat it at all. After the first meal, a couple of others decided not to eat it either.
Pros: seafood
Cons: not all cats eat it

I have tried for two months to change my T Mobile plan. I was unable to talk to live customer service person. Today 10/31/13. I finally got through she finally understood I wanted to change my plan,she did. I told her the problems I was having and that she need to let someone no and she hung up on me. I am not a happy customer. You need to put a number you can actually talk to a real person, there is not a action on your menu on #611 or on # 1-877-4409-758. I like my T-Mobile phone, but being hung up on is not good service. Thank you for your time.

Ms. Yvette Lanier Says
Sep 04, 2013
I have phone service through this service and I am having problems sending text messages internationally. I paid $10 + tax on an Extra Pack Card and I still can not send messages internationally. I am very disappointed in this service; and it is very misleading to say that this service includes unlimited talk,text and web; when I can not send any text messages internationally. I paid a $10 payment for this extra pack service and it does not work. I am very upset and disappointed and feel that this phone service is a waste of time and money if I can not get what I paid for.
Ms. Angry Customer Says
Sep 02, 2013
Wmart Family Mobile lowered rates a few months back, but did not update existing customers plans to reflect the change. They keep billing at the previous higher rate until the customers call in themselves and request the lower rate. When I finally did call and request the lower rate, they told me since my new billing cycle started two days ago that I have to wait an entire month to switch to the new rate and pay another whole month at the higher rate. Their customer service was rude and nasty and unapologetic. Even the supervisor. They had a thick accent hard to understand and sounded East Indian. When I asked which country I was calling to, the supvsor told me he could not tell me due to policy. Really? There's no such policy. He was making stuff up as he went along and unwilling to offer any credit to my account for the nxt month. Totally unacceptable. Will be switching companies and not paying the rest of my bill on purpose. Bye Wmart Family Mobile! Enjoy the grave you have dug for yourself.
Ms. Maria Huffman Says
Aug 31, 2013
My phone was lost, I was given the impression that this was a pay as you go service, so I was not expecting a bill. I expected that the service would just be discontinued if payment wasn't made.

Watch Last Flight to Abuja: Based on true events. A set of everyday Nigerian travelers's board the last Flamingo Airways flight scheduled to fly from Lagos to Abuja on a fateful Friday night in 2006. The plane cruises at 30,000 feet, tranquil and on schedule. But like a bolt out of the blue, through a mixture of human error, technical failure and sheer bad luck, the plane rapidly develops major difficulties that sends it teetering on the brink of disaster. As the pilots fight with the controls of the stricken plane, a series of flashbacks unravel the twists, turns and leaps of fate that put each passenger on the fateful flight. Young lovers, an elderly couple, a corporate party, a sportsman on the threshold of...

Finding the right balance between expressing your personal style and following the company dress code can be one of the most challenging aspects of a new job. Ninety-percent of the things in your closet aren't work appropriate, and you can only wear that black blazer so many times in a row before your cube neighbor starts to realize your lack of clothing.
Over my first few months of working in corporate America, I gradually transitioned my buying patterns to purchase items that can be worn both inside and outside of my 9-5. Last month, the almighty Mercedes Benz Fashion Week took New York City by storm. Full of fresh colors, clean lines, over-the-top patterns and metallics, MBFW 2014 left us with tons of inspiration.
I strongly believe in personal branding and classy representation. When you're a woman in the workplace, it's all about looking chic and professional without looking processed. Aside from a high-powered pencil skirt and pumps, it can be difficult to spice up your work wardrobe without looking inappropriate. To help you out, here are a few ways that you can put a professional twist on Spring 2014 fashion trends and be the talk of the water cooler.
Let's start off with some spring beauty trends. Many designers, including Phillip Lim, accompanied spring fashion with a clean, glowing face. Those nasty cold temperatures that have been torturing your skin are soon to be in the past! (We hope…) It's time to lay off of the heavy foundation and let your skin breathe! Yes, I know. We don't all have skin like J.Lo. (I mean, seriously? She's 44 and doesn't look a day over 30. See: Exhibit A.) But hey, we can try, can't we? Try using Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer and Copcacabana Liquid Illuminator to create a naturally flawless look. Stay away from heavy eye makeup this spring and let your skin do the talking. To keep yourself looking fresh through long workdays and countless meetings, pick up a tube of Revlon Photoready Skinlights in Bronze at your local drug store and throw it in your work bag. Apply to the cheeks, forehead, and bridge of nose with a wet sponge. You'll have your colleagues wondering how you manage to look so flawless as you float around the office all day. (SHHH! It's our little secret.)
I'm not one to jump on the pattern bandwagon. Most of the time, I feel like a couch when I wear patterns. (See: Pregnant Kim Kardashian) However, I really like the new geometric pattern trend. I can't tell you what most of the patterns are (I failed geometry in high school), but I CAN tell you that they're chic. The black-and-white color combo was also a hit with plenty of designers this year, including Carolina Herrera, Delpozo, BCBGMAXAZRIA, Jenni Kayne, and Zimmermann. I highly recommend combining these two trends. Try pairing black-and-white geometric patterns with a pop of color for a cool, modern, springtime look. Sure, floral and pastels are in for spring, but that's a little safe, isn't it? Change it up and take a risk. Wearing something unique (and appropriate!) in the office shows you're confident and ready to tackle anything that comes your way.
Ralph Rucci, Altuzurra, Diane von Furstenberg and Jason Wu were just a few of the designers who incorporated metallic looks into their collections. Don't be afraid to rock something shiny! Purchasing a pair of Sam Edelman metallic wingtips was a risky move, but they have proven to be one of the most versatile pairs of shoes in my closet. As shown above, pairing a metallic shoe with a floral pant adds a modern edge to a classic, elegant ensemble. Not feelin' the metallic shoe idea? Try throwing on some metallic jewelry. No need to spend a fortune; get bang for your buck and shop the accessories department at Forever 21. When accessorizing for work, less is more. Stay away from huge, overpowering earrings.
For spring and summer, adding a bold pop of color can really tie together your look. Don't be afraid to carry a bright bag like the pink and green ones pictured above. Add a spark to that glowing face with a bright lipstick. A vibrant tangerine lipstick was seen on the runway at Rag & Bone, DKNY and Monique Lhuillier. As much as I love this trend, rocking an orange lip usually isn't work appropriate. As a happy medium, a Chanel lipgloss could be your go-to springtime lip. With as many colors as Sherwin Williams, you're bound to find just the right color to add a pop without behind overpowering. I swear by my Chanel lipgloss, and I even keep a tube in my laptop bag for emergencies. (#IsThatWeird?) If you're looking for a matte lip, try using Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick. They're not kidding… this lipstick will stick with you through every single hour of your workday. You'll be so busy that you'll forget it's there… until someone compliments it!
Make your office your runway! Nothing is as powerful as a successful woman in a chic outfit. XO, Abby

Through online radio and podcasts, the internet has made internationally recognizable DJs out of local heroes.
For the past 4 years, I've followed a group of house/techno/progressive DJs from Argentina. The most well know Argentine export to EDM listeners is progressive house DJ & producer HERNAN CATTANEO.
One DJ who isn't given as much recognition but whom i'm a big fan of , is DEEP MARIANO (Mariano Marcial Pérez) who is from the town of Rosario.
I came to know of him – and other Argentine DJs – by way of the FriskyRadio podcast 'MELTING RANGE' hosted by Victoria R. In general the Argentine DJs have a VERY tight fluid mixing style, influenced directly I'm sure by seamless mixers I've mentioned previously: Sasha & Digweed. In fact, one of DEEP MARIANO'S most well known sets is from 2007, and is a guest mix on DIGWEED'S TRANSITIONS show.
In 2009 he released the full length artist album 'TOOLBOX'. He's currently giving it away for FREE (!) from his site. Here is a direct download link.
He doesn't market himself very strongly outside of his home country, and thus his SoundCloud page is devoid of any mixes, also his facebook fan page is mostly in Spanish. You can however download his mixes from the subscription EDM podcast site I wrote about 2 months back called FriskyRadio.

Summit Notebook
Exclusive outtakes from industry leaders
AUDIO – The costs of war
Wars have numerous costs and most of those are unimaginable for most of us not in the middle of one.
But, aside from the tragic cost of death or injury, wars also cost a lot of money to finance and President-elect Barack Obama will be facing some of those costs (as well as a whole mess of other stuff) when he takes office in January.
As the United States grapples with a severely struggling economy, a number of federal bailouts and questions about our overall financial shape, Obama will also have to decide rather quickly how he will prosecute the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the staffing of the military.
On Monday, Loren Thompson of the Lexington Institute and Richard Aboulafia of the Teal Group spoke at the Reuters Aerospace and Defense Summit about the kinds of challenges Obama will face and just how much this is all going to cost.
AUDIO – Teddy Roosevelt had it right
The world is a more dangerous place because of the global economic meltdown, according to Northrop Grumman Chief Executive Ronald Sugar, whose company provides specialized aircraft, radar and other electronics to meet that threat.
Sugar was the kick-off speaker at the annual Reuters Aerospace and Defense Summit on Monday in Washington, D.C.
Diller to profitable companies: Lay off the layoffs
IAC Chief Executive Barry Diller took several groups to task at the Reuters Media Summit, but he reserved special disgust for CEOs at profitable companies who add to the country's rising unemployment rate.
Also targeted by the former Hollywood executive were "incredibly, shockingly stupid" Big 3 auto executives, the Internet's strange and growing dictionary, and Hollywood's lack of creativity.
No LUV for China real estate, SOHO says
China's real estate sector has a chilly winter ahead, said Pan Shiyi, chairman of Beijing property developer SOHO China Ltd. And he had interesting, alphabetical way of describing it.
"I look at the shape of the real estate market and I imagine it bottoming out as a letter "L". If after the snows earlier this year, China had loosed up its monetary policy, we would have seen a "V"-shaped market. If they had loosened up before the Olympics, we would have seen a "U". But for them to release new policies now, like reducing the interest rate, it's already an "L". I don't know when the market will come back up."
Chinese online execs say no to M&A
The Reuters China summit in Beijing had two internet executives speak about their business. Kevin Wang, CFO of software maker Kingsoft, and Charles Zhang, the chairman and chief executive officer of Sohu.com Inc. both discussed growth and weathering the financial storm. The companies they lead have some similarities and differences, but both are seen as being less exposed to market fluctuations because after all, a lot of their business is based on people going to their computer, sitting down, and logging onto the internet.
So how do they expect to grow their businesses? Not through acquisitions, both executives said, at least for the time being. They seemed to be happy to grow by beefing up their existing operations and partnerships. Or, as they in executive speak, they're content to keep growth "organic."
For a banker, no panic in China
"Well insulated" China, though suffering from sharp drops in its own equities markets, doesn't have the sense of crisis that exists in the U.S., says Philip Partnow, managing director of UBS Securities Ltd in Beijing. UBS, the first Western bank to assume management control of a domestic mainland brokerage, points out the fact that what's hitting companies is not subprime-related securities gone bad.
"I think there's nothing here we feel is toxid," he told Reuters on Wednesday at the Reuters China Summit in Beijing. He goes on:
How wealth managers manage their own wealth
Private bankers are guiding their rich clients into safer investments as financial market turmoil spreads, but when it comes to their own money they often take a different tack.
"I don't have a very well diversified portfolio," admits Timothy Vaill, chairman and chief executive officer of Boston Private Financial Holdings , which owns 15 independently operated financial services firms.
"The majority of my investments are in my own company," he told this week's Reuters Wealth Management Summit.
"And I invested additionally this quarter in my own company again because I really believe what we are doing is the right thing to do and it is a very strong company. And I'm there all day, every day, watching it like a hawk."
David Lamere, chief executive of The Bank of New York Mellon's wealth management unit, said his money is managed by his own company.
"I'm a big shareholder in BNY Mellon, and the rest of my assets is managed by our organization," Lamere told the Reuters Summit. But his investments were "very diversified", he added.
How much do they own?
According to Thomson Reuters data, Vaill owned 201,794 shares of Boston Private as of mid-August valued at about $1.8 million. As of Thursday afternoon, his stake would have retained its value at $1.8 million.
Vaill also said he does not borrow against his stock and does not invest in hedge funds.
Lamere owned 255,820 shares of Bank of New York Mellon as of May 9, valued then at about $11 million. As of Thursday afternoon, that was notionally valued at about $7.5 million.
Lamere said he was at a lunch on Sept. 18 when Bank of New York Mellon stock briefly fell 35 percent along with a slump in shares of other trust banks and asset managers.
"It all happened within about an hour in the middle of the day and I was in a lunch. I got called six times," Lamere added.
For wealthy men, the grass ceiling
Women have long bumped up against glass ceilings as they try to advance to upper level executive jobs.
According to research from the Harrison Group, a market research and strategy firm in Waterbury, Connecticut, when it comes to housework wealth men are dealing with barriers too, although it's unclear where those barriers come from.
"Women handle the household's employment, treasury and other functions" and are making real money for the family, said Jim Taylor, the group's vice chairman who regularly researches how rich people behave.
Men work long hours at their jobs and at home they are now allowed only to care for lawns, shrubbery and maybe the swimming pool. That gives rise to the new term "the grass ceiling," Taylor said at the Reuters Wealth Summit.
–Svea Herbst
Be very afraid — the wealthy are
How worried are the richest Americans by the current economic turmoil?
It's fair to say, "very."
Forty-six percent of the wealthiest U.S. families believe they can lose everything, said Jim Taylor, vice chairman of the Harrison Group, a market research and strategy firm in Waterbury, Conn.
The credit crisis is affecting us all…
Spare a thought for the mega-rich.
While the man or woman on the street cuts back on non-essential spending as the value of their home falls and they worry more about whether or not they will keep their job, so too multi-millionaires are feeling the pinch.
Javier Arus Castillo, general manager of Santander Private Banking International, explains.

What can agencies learn from start-ups, entrepreneurs and Google Campus?
Eze Vidra, Google's European head for entrepreneurs, has given advice on what businesses can gain from adopting the start-up mentality.
Google Campus: a hub for start-ups and entrepreneurs
Vidra, who also heads up Google Campus, a shared office space for entrepreneurs and start-ups in Shoreditch, East London, said that agencies could benefit from "taking risks and innovating and doing rapid prototyping".
Start-ups, said Vidra, are able to get products and services to market quicker than businesses in general. He said: "They get the products out there. If it fails, it fails fast and they're able to iterate quickly and change it."
On Google's London Campus, Vidra added: "It's a very tight community of entrepreneurs. When you have such a concentration of smart, ambitious people in one building, a lot of magic happens."
According to its website, Google Campus London has more than 17,500 members listed as entrepreneurs. Last year it held more than 1,000 mentorship sessions with its members.
Watch the video above and leave your tips for adopting the start-up mentality in established agencies and businesses in the comments section below.

Setting up user accounts
I have setup my hdd into 3 partitions, one for OS and applications, one for user a and one for user b. Not sure if this is correct but this is what I have done.
I would like it so that any data created is automatically saved in their partition.
So presumably that would entail each persons Username / Documents folders would default to the correct drive, therefore if user one downloads a file and saves it to My Photos it will go on the correct drive.
Does that make sense?
If it does how do you do that
I would also like so that person b cannot access any other drive
|My System Specs
|16 Jan 2011
Hello OnTheRopes,
You could use OPTION ONE in the tutorial below to move the user profile of each user to be on the drive letter of your choice as you described.
User Profile - Change Default Location
Afterwards, you can use the tutorial below to set permissions of the drive letter of each user's drive to Deny access permission of the other user accounts. Be sure to only deny the user accounts that you do not want to be able to access that drive letter, and not anything else. Do not deny access of the Windows 7 C: drive for any user either, or they may not be able to log on to Windows 7 anymore.
Permissions - Allow or Deny Users and Groups
Hope this helps,
|My System Specs
|16 Jan 2011
Worked through the first tutorial and that worked perfectly, one more user to move and then on to the second tutorial.
Many thanks for your help

You're most welcome. Please let us know how it went.
|My System Specs

Well it all seems to be working fine,it was a near miss at one point because asfter altering the registry I could not get access back into my main account but it turned out I had made anerror on copying the files across the drives so that was easily rectified. Phew, bit of a moment that!
There is one question, now that I have users moved across to thier respective drives can I / should I delete C:\users\username as I assume these are no longer required?
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2011
Actually I do have a slight issue / problem
Whe I log out of the admin account and logon as a user I now get a screen comes up ' AsLoader is requesting permission... blah blah'
This can be canceeled out of and doesnt seem to stop anything working but is clearly wrong and an irritation it is some asus software by the look of it.
Any ideas?
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2011
Sounds good so far.
Yes, you could delete the old C:\Users\(user-name) locations as in step 15 after moving them if you like.
If the AsLoader is a startup program and you are not having any issues with it not running, then you could just disable it to stop it from running at startup.
If you wanted to keep AsLoader as a startup program without the UAC prompt, then you could also create a elevated task shortcut for the AsLoader and place that elevated task shortcut to run at startup instead.
(use step 15 while doing this)
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2011
Should i delete the actual 'Users' folder as that has Public and default folders in?
I cant find AsLoader its not in the programs folder.
Incidentally whats the difference between Program files and program Files (86) as I have both?
|My System Specs
|17 Jan 2011
No, you would not want to delete the C:\Users folder. Only the old C:\Users\(user-name) user profile folder locatioin for the user account that you moved.
The Program Files folder is where 64-bit programs are installed to by default, and the Program Files (x86) folder is where 32-bit programs are installed to by default.
For AsLoader, click on the "Startup Program" link above to see if you spot AsLoader listed as a startup program using any or one or more of the methods in the tutorial at that link. If it is, then disable it to stop it from running at startup or log in.
|My System Specs
|18 Jan 2011
AsLoader seems to be sorted now.
I have been having a frew problems since altering user accounts, in themselves everything seemed normal however I was having problems with IE.
I use a website with streaming data (Java) and i have several browser windows open at the same time, once logged on for one, then they are all logged on. However since the edits I would log on one page and then open another page on the same site and it would ask for log on again, once i logged on it would log off on the other window. I tried deleting cookies etc etc but to no avail.
Also another site i use that uses java to display realtime charts refused to open.
I have since edited things back to how they were and the sites are working normally again.
Do you have any ideas whats causing this?

Anatomy of an Icon: Inside the Classic Apple IIcEarlier this year Apple released its thinnest and lightest portable computer yet, the MacBook Air , to great fanfare. But it wasn't the first time for such an event: Twenty-four years ago critics hailed another Apple computer — its first portable ever — as a masterpiece of compact industrial design. The Apple IIc marked an important milestone for Apple's stalwart Apple II line, squeezing the power of a full-size IIe into a svelte 3.4 kilograms package. I recently disassembled this marvel of 1984 simplicity on my home workbench, and found that the IIc is beautiful not only on the outside but on the inside as well.

Last night on Real Housewives of Miami, things took a turn for the dour. Lets just say there were a lot of tears and too few drunken antics, but sometimes a little Housewives Xanax is needed after all the insanity!
Things begin with Joanna Krupa getting her charity on and thankfully she's not exposing her pubes to raise awareness this time. This time, she's competing in a charity volleyball game. Joanna + bikini = $$. Karent Sierra and Lisa Hochstein are cheering her on – and curiously absent is Romain Zago.
A somber Joanna fills them in on the grim reality post boobnight bitchslap. Although Romain and Joanna are still technically living together they barely speak and he works overtime to avoid her.
Joanna takes to the court and is surprisingly good. For some odd reason I was expecting it to be a gobsmackingly appalling performance. And after the match Romain arrives to show his better late than never version of support. They decide to go have a chat because I mean who doesn't want to have a personal and heartfelt conversation about their relationship in public, at a sporting event?
Oh, what's a reality show without a meltdown? I mean really. Can you imagine? There have been big ones, little ones, and epic ones and we here at Reality Tea mostly care about the epic ones.
You know, the meltdowns that result in flipped tables, country club stalking, slapped faces, thrown bottles, and wardrobe malfunctions. A fractured relationship doesn't hurt either!
Below is our list of top meltdowns. Be warned: these are all of soap opera proportions!

Last night on Real Housewives of Miami there were dueling psychics, dueling ladies in formal wear, and um… yeah just a lot of straight up unhappiness. If last week's episode was all the debauchery, hedonism, and human sacrifices of Ancient Rome, last night's episode was the aftermath of war.
It's the day of the annual Blacks Gala and everyone is quite positive no one's nipples will hang out, no one will be thrown into pool Dynasty style, and no one will be doing tequila shots or getting slapped in the face. Oh, no instead they'll be milling around in couture gowns and spending $14,000 bidding on an evening at the Playboy Mansion. The only thing Fembot Fakenstein's boobgerie slapfest has in common with the Black Gala is some of the attendees – and that includes Joe "Cameratime" Francis. Doesn't he have some checks to be writing to Steve Wynn? $40 Million of them to be exact.
In preparation for the gala, Lea Black is rushing around clutching a bright pink Birkin as if it's an extra appendage. A third arm that is merely a formality and is crap at the useful things like moving tables and directing quack psychics on how to turn glass into music and peace.
So last night was really something! Was this DYNASTY or Real Housewives of Miami? I mean a pool fight between queens? Angry ladies in negligees screaming? Champagne glasses being flung? Bitchslapping and accusations flying? Booze and bitching galore? I love it
And in the center of it all stood a series of blurred out nipples over surgically altered boobs. Just the casualties of a lingerie party, I suppose.
Joanna Krupa is a curious case, isn't she? She's pretty as an angel but she's like a Transformer. She appears like an apparition all soft blonde light and sparkling blue eyes, sweet pink pout and then BOOM! Her hair turns to razor blades that will slice you, her mouth is filled with fire, bullets flying from her nipples (all three of them!), and her eyes become like shards of glass. Joanna will cut a bitch. She will stalk her prey and maul them like a wild beast hungry for dinner. Maybe that's the problem – none of these ladies eat enough and the hunger drives them crazy.
It's a battle of the
boobs brunettes! Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kyle Richards may have ignited a feud with Real Housewives of Miami's Adriana De Moura while visiting the hot head's neck of the woods. Kyle had better watch out, as we all know from last night that Adriana isn't afraid to brawl.
Of course, we all know that ol' Splits McGee loves the limelight almost as much as Adriana despises Karent Sierra. However, if Kyle's latest antics are true, she may have moved to the top of Adriana's most hated list. Part of me really wants this to be legit!

"Renee," a Washington, D.C. career woman, took an early
retirement after she had a heart attack. Many 60-year-olds would have reveled
in such "freedom," but Renee did not. Renee (not her real name),
some of her neighbors suspected, was depressed by her new situation. But then
a few weeks later, Renee had another heart attack while in her apartment and
called 911. By the time the paramedics broke down her door, she was dead.
Was there a link between Renee's post-heart-attack depression and her
subsequent death from another heart attack? A new study suggests that there
could be. It found that when heart-attack patients become depressed a month
after having their attack, they are seven times more likely to have another
attack than are heart-attack patients who do not become depressed at this
A spate of studies have already demonstrated that people who have a heart
attack and who have experienced depression at some point in their lives have a
worse coronary outcome than do people who have a heart attack and who have
never been depressed. Moreover, numerous studies have linked depression around
the time of a heart attack with a poor outcome from that attack. But what has
been unclear is when a depression has to occur in order to pose such risks. So
Gordon Parker, M.D., Ph.D., a professor of psychiatry at the University of New
South Wales in Australia, and his coworkers decided to conduct a study to
answer this question.
They recruited 489 hospitalized heart-attack patients to participate in
their study. The subjects were assessed, on average four days after their
admission, for lifetime and current depression by the Composite International
Diagnostic Interview depression schedule. Out of the 489 subjects, 38 were
found to have experienced a depression at some point earlier in their lives,
and 12 percent were found to be currently depressed—that is, to have
been depressed right before and right after their heart attacks.
A month after the baseline interview, that is, after the subjects had been
discharged from the hospital and were back home, they were contacted by
telephone, and a DSM-IV depression symptom checklist was used to
determine how many who had not been depressed while in the hospital were
depressed at this time point. Ten percent were.
All subjects were followed up during the next 11 months to determine
whether they experienced any more heart attacks. The researchers looked to see
whether depression at any time point could be linked with a subsequent heart
attack. And during their analyses, they considered such potentially
confounding factors as age, gender, cardiac risk factors, antidepressant use,
and current smoking status.
The researchers could find no significant link between depression earlier
in life and a subsequent heart attack. Nor could they find any significant
link between depression right before and after a heart attack and a subsequent
heart attack. But they could find a significant link between
depression that appeared a month after a heart attack and a subsequent heart
In fact, the chances of having a subsequent heart attack were seven times
greater for those heart-attack subjects who were found to be depressed a month
later than for subjects who did not become depressed at this time. In
contrast, recognized cardiac-risk factors such as clogged arteries, stroke, or
diabetes posed considerably lower risks in this regard, the researchers
These findings have some practical implications, Parker and his team
concluded in their study report, which is in press with Biological
Psychiatry. "We suggest that close attention should be paid to how
patients' mood states progress beyond hospitalization."
The findings may also shed light on why depression occurring a month after
a heart attack so often heralds another heart attack. Preliminary research
that Parker and his colleagues have conducted suggests that a depression that
occurs at this time has a biological rather than a psychological origin. And
as they noted in their study report, this biologically triggered depression"
may actually be a signal marker" that something has gone wrong in
the body and have nothing to do directly with causing a heart attack. For
instance, the depression could be a signal that the heart's involuntary
nervous system has started to malfunction.
Indeed, some other researchers have found that depressed heart-attack
patients exhibit dysfunction of the heart's involuntary nervous system and
that such dysfunction in turn can increase a person's chances of dying from a
second heart attack.
The study was funded by Australia's National Health and Medical Research
Council Program and the New South Wales Department of Health.

GEN. SANTOS CITy, Philippines - Members of the peace and order council in Maguindanao on Saturday unanimously endorsed two provincial security blueprints complementing Malacañang's Mindanao's peace process.
The council, chaired by Gov. Esmael Mangudadatu, also reaffirmed its support to President Benigno Aquino III's ongoing peace overture with the Moro Islamic Liberation Front and to the continuing enforcement of the July 1997 government-MILF ceasefire accord.
The council, whose members include Senior Supt. Rudelio Jocson of the provincial police and Major Gen. Edmundo Pangilinan of the Army's 6th Infantry Division, launched during their Saturday meeting here the provincial Local Anti-Criminality Action Plan (LACAP) and the Peace and Order and Public Safety Plan (POPSP), both meant to sustain the fragile peace now in Maguindanao.

"When people start saying about competition, then everyone starts losing it. It's all about doing your best on there [on stage]."
– Bliss n Eso answering Richard Kingsmill's question about whether or not there is competition in the Australian hip-hop scene at Splendour in the Grass.
And triplej got me thinking - If the apocalypse did roll around what ONE SONG would you whack on your stereo? Ask me your choice.
Mine would be: Go Your Own Way by Fleetwood Mac
Increasing nuclear risk sees Australians struggle to get out of Japan. We find out what DFAT's doing to help them? We check in with Libya where Gaddafi's son says the rebellion will be over in two days. Also… HACK visits a flood ravaged Brisbane street where only five out of nineteen households have moved back in.
This is Hack's (triplej) description of its podcast on Wednesday 16th March. I would like you guys to focus on the smartphone application, FACECASH, that allows phones to pay anything. This application is at the moment only for the United States, but they have plans to extend the application for Australia. I am supicious of this since, you are going through a third party application which removes you from the control of your money. You don't have proper control about who has your data, and who can access your data.
Referring to my previous post about HACK contacting me, this is the post I promised :)
unfortunately, the good old time difference between the eastern states and Perth meant that when i return the call they just finished the segment.
BUT STILL I GOT ASKED BY THE TRIPLE J. Do you guys know what that remotely means to someone who wants to work in the radio system and her dream job is working for HACK???
A day later, a coffee later, I am still feeling that buzz. I am going to keep this for remembers.
Oh yeah the topic was about the application that allows people to use their phone as a "credit card" ie. similar to the Mastercards Tap and Go system. I will go now on artofjournalism and make a post about it. And will reblog here for you guys to inform yourselves.

At first it seems surprising that Emma Johnson has waited until now to record two pillars of the repertoire, Brahms's opus 120 clarinet sonatas, but it soon becomes apparent why: these are the fruit of Brahms's sunset years, works of profound maturity that require a deep understanding that only years of careful performance and interpretation can produce. The result is definitive; Johnson's gorgeous tone evoking the reputed delicate, warm and unaffected sound of the sonatas' dedicatee, Richard Mühlfeld. The Mendelssohn sonata, written when he was just 15, is a charming contrast, its youthful confidence beautifully captured by Johnson's winning partnership with John Lenehan, which is most strikingly apparent in their triumphant reading of the Schumann Phantasiestücke. A landmark disc.

The more I read about the things said in the courtroom after Trent Mays and Ma'Lik Richmond were convicted of rape, the angrier I get.
Judge Thomas Lipps, who had come out of retirement to oversee the Steubenville rape case when the initial judge recused himself, seemed to think that the biggest lesson was how teenagers conduct themselves when alcohol is present and in "how you record things on social media that are so prevalent today."
Trent Mays seemed to take Judge Lipps' message to heart when he told his victim that "No pictures should have been sent around, let along even taken." What the fuck? THAT'S what he's sorry for? No, it's just his thinly veiled way of saying that he knows that he got caught because of his arrogance and need to brag about what he did to some poor, unconscious 16-year-old girl.
Apparently the new fake mea culpa has transformed from "I'm sorry you were offended" to "No pictures should have been sent around, let along even taken."

When Clients Attack
OK, the title is probably a bit over-dramatic.
I'm actually talking about the situation when a client disagrees with or criticizes your approach to a project. You've done the best you can, but the client isn't happy.
Sooner or later, a client 'attack' is something that happens to nearly every freelancer.
As a freelancer, how do you deal with that delicate situation–without endangering the relationship with your client?
Here are six approaches that have worked for me during my freelance career.
Firm Up the Brief
Often, problems result from not having a tight enough brief before starting work. But you are where you are, and you can't go back. Even a suggestion of 'revisiting the brief' can be risky if there wasn't one in the first place–it makes YOU look slapdash for not sorting it out earlier.
(As a freelance, it's tempting to get the project underway rather than holding things up with lots of discussion, but it's always risky to proceed without a proper brief.)
But you still might be able to 'talk through the aims of the project'–without admitting that you should have asked the client to clarify their needs before work began.
Get Something Constructive
Sometimes, clients offer blanket criticism like 'it just isn't working', which is unproductive as well as hurtful. 'Anywhere but here' is not a useful destination.
The best way to get constructive feedback is to ask open 'how' and 'what' questions that elicit descriptive, precise answers. For example:
- What would you like to change?
- What's missing, from your point of view?
- What is working, and what isn't working?
- How would you like the text (design, site…) to develop from here?
- How would you like to proceed?
This type of questioning puts the onus on the client to explain what they want, which is crucial. You mustn't fall into the trap of responding to what you THINK they want, or what 'clients like them always want', or any other projection of your own ideas.
By the same token, make sure you listen to what they actually say. Recording phone conversations (with consent) allows you to listen back later, when you're not so angry. You might be surprised at how little actually needs to change.
Critique Their Ideas
Sometimes, clients respond to the request for feedback by doing their own version of the work.
This is particularly likely for writers, since the tools of the writer's trade are within everyone's reach. Many clients of mine have proposed their own text and invited me to respond to it. It's very difficult if their version is wordy, jargony, inconsistent, or gramatically unsound–but at least I've got something to work with that could, if push came to shove, be used.
Designers, art directors, web developers and other creatives are in a worse position, in some ways. They're much more likely to receive a bunch of hasty, half-formed, and mutually incompatible 'amendments', perhaps from several different people within the client organization, which they then have to reconcile.
Whatever you've got to work with, it can sometimes be worth critiquing the feedback rather than acting on it. Explain point by point why the ideas won't work. Obviously, this has to be done with great care and tact, since you are effectively criticizing the client, and they may take it badly. Be prepared to backtrack or bail out if things get ugly.
To take the sting out of the situation, cite third-party exemplars if possible, rather than challenging the client head-on based solely on your own authority. Whatever happens, this has to remain a collegial, collaborative discussion between colleagues–not a ding-dong argument between opponents.
The 'feel, felt, found' technique may be useful: 'I understand how you feel.
Many of my clients felt that way about their site (advert, leaflet…). But what they found was that…' This tells a story about someone else that might help the client see why they shouldn't go down a particular road – although they still might insist that their situation is different.
Justify Your Ideas
Another approach is to return to your version and mount a case for it. Say something like 'Could I just talk you through the reasoning behind what I did?'
Then work through your text, design, concept, or whatever and explain how you arrived at your solution. You may even want to show your 'working'–early drafts or rejected designs, which might well include some ideas the client wants to try now, but that you've already rejected as unworkable.
Designers, in particular, often enjoy the 'reveal', where they present the finished solution as a fait accompli, having addressed all the issues in their studio during the working process. Sadly, the client may not be able to see exactly how the final product meets the brief. Showing the journey to the goal can help with this.
Connect each aspect of your work to a desired outcome for the client:
- The bold colors gain the reader's attention.
- The headline expresses a benefit.
- The call to action tells them exactly what we want them to do.
- The image gives the reader something to aspire to, so they buy into our message on an emotional level.
- The navigation helps the visitor understand how the different areas of the site fit together.
Use 'we' to emphasize that you and the client are sitting 'on the same side of the table', working together to solve a shared problem. Don't fall back into using 'you' and 'I', which might come across as confrontational, and risk tipping the discussion into a point-by-point argument.
Focus on Outcomes
Sometimes, the client may simply say 'I don't like it'. This can be very tricky indeed. It's a subjective position, so it's impossible to argue with. By doing so, you're effectively telling the client that they're wrong, or that they're stupid, or that they lack taste.
It's tempting to go down the road of saying you DO like it. But that kind of goes without saying–it's your own solution, after all–and the discussion will quickly descend into deadlock.
The key is to move the discussion from subjective opinions to objective evaluation–insofar as this is actually possible when dealing with writing, design, or any other discipline with a creative or aesthetic dimension.
Somehow, you need to get the client thinking in terms of the goals of the project, or the business outcomes it's supposed to deliver, rather than their own tastes and preferences.
If they are the owner/manager of a small business, there may be very little distinction between their views and their brand, or their character and the culture of the firm. But there is still a difference between what's right for them, or what they like, and what's right for the business.
This links up with justifying your ideas. If you can link your chosen approach or technique to business outcomes, perhaps backing up your position with authoritative, third-party evidence, your position will be much stronger.
If, after that, they still insist they don't like it, you might resort to my last option, which is…
Give up
For some creative freelancers, it's more important to propose the right solution than it is to please the client. The rest of us just need to get paid. And that can mean swallowing our pride and letting the client get their own way.
It's not fun, nor is it particularly good for the ego. But if what the client wants is usable, and doesn't constitute outright commercial suicide, why not let them go with it? At least they won't associate you with discord and difficulty.
Ultimately, the client has to be happy with their solution. If they really can't see the value of your ideas, you have to let them go with their own. It might not lead to a fruitful stream of ongoing work, but at least your invoice will be settled this time around.
Of course, it's a different matter if you're being paid, or assessed, on results. If the client wanted you to write a PPC ad or landing page, but insisted you include their clunky slogan, you'll have to disclaim responsibility for what happens when it goes live.
As Confucius said, 'you turn the handle the way it goes, not the way it ought to go.' Freelancing is often about choosing your battles and going with the flow. You haven't 'lost' anything by accepting a situation you can't change, so bite the bullet and walk away. You'll be back!

Loveland (2-0) at Oak Hills (1-1)
When: 7:30 p.m. Friday
What to Watch: Loveland has allowed just 13 points the first two games and the defense has produced as expected. "The energy and tenacity – it's on another level from what I have been around," Loveland coach Fred Cranford said. "…The challenge is to continue to do that especially defensively." Max Mather had two interceptions last week in a win over Lebanon. Senior linebackers Brian Popp and Mike Weber and senior defensive lineman/linebacker Charlie Lawler have been among the standouts defensively. Junior running back Nate Slagel has rushed for almost 500 yards through two games. "Nate is going to put up big numbers as long as we have the guys up front connecting the dots," Cranford said. Oak Hills defeated Harrison 28-7 last week. Senior running back Demarco Ruffin had 147 yards rushing and a touchdown. Quarterback Matt Elliott threw for 130 yards and a touchdown. Senior nose guard Ryan Wimmer has a team-leading three sacks for the Highlanders, according to coach Dan Scholz.

Although the treatment of borderline patients has attracted increased
attention, there is little agreement on the basic nature of the disorder or
the proper techniques for its treatment by analytically oriented
psychotherapy. The author states that treatment based on the idea that the
borderline patient achieves therapeutic gains by raging against an
accepting therapist for a prolonged period of time is not so effective as
treatment based on the recognition of specific ego defects as the core
pathology. He suggests that the therapist be active in the treatment of
borderline patients and not permit gross and unproductive distortions of
the therapeutic relationship.
