A word from Bocca Di Bacco (Chelsea - 20th St.)
Bocca Di Bacco is a New York City Restaurant Group establishment from dynamic restaurateur and New York native Robert Malta, who owns nearly a dozen restaurants throughout the city. "I've been in the business 25 years," Malta says. "I opened the first Bocca Di Bacco in Hell's Kitchen in 2007 and it quickly became a neighborhood favorite. The Chelsea location is an evolution of what we've been offering. There are new menu items, and a more refined look and feel, but it's still a great spot for the neighborhood any night of the week."Continued

- Decent ambiance and foodHungryDinerVIPDined on 9/16/2014I really go there for food mostly with one on one or small group. The fact that the place is never packed is always a bonus for us to enjoy some drinking and conversations. Their appetizers and pastas are very good. Order mussels and tomato based pasta and enjoy the delicious sauce that enhance the favors. The simpler, the better. I love the pasta with olive and bacon, the squid ink pasta was good but not impressed, risotto was done the way I want it, people with better appetite might complain the portion. But hey overall it's hitting the marks and I enjoy the experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Excellent. My friend chose Branzino Grigliato. He was most satisfied. As always, the food, from the bruschetta at the start, to the Profiteroles for dessert was excellent. The service at this location was spotty & could have been better organized. And it was a bit loud - but it WAS a Saturday night. Would definitely recommend & revisit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

And the wine list - particularly those from Sicilia - are great We will be backSpecial Features:
- Nice evening of straight-ahead foodrobinrDined on 2/28/2014Wouldn't rave about any inventiveness but the ambiance at Bocca Di Bacco makes it a great neighborhood spot . The mozzarella/tomato was spruced up with some marinated asparagus. Pork chops were large and tender with great selection of roasted veggies. Chicken rosemary a solid dish . My husband had the salmon which was a small portion and pretty bland. The desert and coffee were ok, not exceptional. Ambiance and service were lovelySpecial Features:
- Tasty Italian in ChelseaOpenTable Diner Since 2005Dined on 2/21/2014We've dined here 2or 3 times before, and this time were bringing (sometimes demanding) friends from WDC. A great relief: servers were on their toes, food was perfect. Three of us ordered the seafood pasta special, which was a generous portion and delicious. As in any popular Chelsea restaurant, they would like to turn the table. Set the pace yourself, and you will be rewarded with a wonderful evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Valentine's Day!OpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 2/14/2014My man and I spent a wonderful Valentine's Day here. The staff was attentive and sweet and the food was out of this world. I even got a rose at the end of the meal! My one complaint was the music — it would have been nice to have some light, simple music since it is an Italian restaurant, but instead they played odd '90s alternative. So I hope you enjoy your tortellini with a side of Radiohead!Special Features:

The Hunger Games
Liberty Edges Sullivan West To Capture Hoops For Hunger Title in Manor Girls Basketball Tournament; Liberty's Karissa Yoli is Tournament MVP
Championship Game: Liberty 38, Sullivan West 30
Consolation Game: Livingston Manor 41, Roscoe 22
By RICHARD A. ROSS
Photos at: www.sportsinsights.smugmug.com
LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY—These days there are far too many people going hungry.
Given the condition of the economy and the rising prices of food, it seems more and more people are struggling just to put food on the table.
To that end, the Livingston Manor Girls Basketball tournament, dubbed "Hoops For Hunger," sought to help that cause by having teams and onlookers donate non-perishable foods. Each team had to contribute 50 items and spectators donated three as their price of admission to the hoops tourney that featured the Lady Wildcats hosting Roscoe, Liberty and Sullivan West.
In total, more than 300 items were collected which will be donated to the Liberty Elks with the help of Manor Coach Kevin Clifford.
Like the Coaches vs. Cancer tournaments staged across the nation including the BCANY Coaches vs. Cancer Classic that takes place at Sullivan County Community College each year, the game of basketball oftentimes plays a role in fundraising for noble causes.
But hunger for the game they love and hope to be victorious in was also on the minds of the young women who took part in the two day tournament, the opening salvo of a dense and intense season that is now about to get underway in earnest.
Following the opening night drama of Sullivan West's 42-37 double overtime win over Livingston Manor, coupled with Liberty's 33-11 win over Roscoe, the die was cast for the championship and consolation match ups for November 25.
In that opening night fray between the Lady Wildcats and the Lady Bulldogs, Manor sophomore Devon Dutcher led all scorers with 19 points, 20 rebounds and six blocks. Her timely trey and a subsequent put back by Emily Gorr in the waning seconds of regulation propelled the game into overtime. Dutcher would eventually foul out but Manor's biggest bugaboo of the night was its struggles from the free throw line canning a mere six out of 42 attempts.
In the consolation game, Manor (1-1) defeated Roscoe (0-2) 41-22. Dutcher would be named to the All-Tournament team behind of her 22 points and 20 rebound contribution.
In the championship game, a tightly-fought battle took place between eventual winner Liberty (2-0) and Sullivan West (1-1). In the early going it looked as if Sullivan West would prevail. They led 13-8 at the end of the first quarter and 19-16 at the half. Each team netted seven in the third stanza but it was all Liberty in crunch time as they outscored Sullivan West 15-4 in the fourth quarter to secure the 38-30 victory.
The Lady Bulldogs were led by Ali Hemmer who netted 13 points. Tournament MVP Karissa Yoli of Liberty had 18, abetted by nine points from Kelsey Morgans. Liberty shot 11-for-24 from the stripe (45.8 %) as compared to the Lady Westies 4-for-26 (15.3%). That included going just two-for11 in the final stanza.
Needless to say coaches from all four teams will be stressing free throw shooting in their practice sessions.
Named to the All-Tournament team, in addition to Sullivan West's Ali Hemmer were teammate Carly Grishaber, Manor's Devon Dutcher, and Liberty's Zytoria Reynolds.
The Lady Indians and Lady Bulldogs will stage a rematch on December 4 in Lake Huntington for a non-league fray. Liberty is Class B and Sullivan West moved down to Class C this year.
Manor will host Tuxedo on December 2 in a non-league encounter. Roscoe (0-2) will travel to Tuxedo on December 4.
Liberty Coach Beth Quatrale was very pleased with the win and with starting the season at 2-0.
"It's basically what we wanted to happen, " she noted. "We're a very young team with only two players with varsity experience and only one returning starter. I told the girls when we got in the tournament, let's see what we're made of," she added. "It's a good way to start the year," she averred. Kelsey Morgans was missing for the opening round game but her presence in this clash made a difference. She came out on fire in the second half."
Liberty made their free throws when they mattered netting eight from the stripe in the final stanza, which turned out to be the difference in the score.
"This is the first in recent years when my girls get to the free throw line that I'm not worried. I get excited. They're athletes and competitors. They're ready to hit shots and win," she noted.
They'll face a determined Lady Bulldogs team in Sullivan West's home opener on December 4. Should be fun.

National Committee assigns fund to support victims of human trafficking
The UAE government offers financial assistance.
October 9, 2013 10:14 by kippreport
The 31st meeting of the committee was held this week at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Dubai, chaired by HE Dr Anwar Mohammed Gargash, Minister of State for Foreign Affairs and Minister of State for Federal National Council Affairs.
"The UAE has put in great efforts to develop care centres for the rehabilitation of victims of human trafficking. The establishment of the new fund will be a major initiative in supporting the victims and helping them meet the needs of the future," he says.
"The committee will work in co-operation with the Ewa'a centres to provide the necessary financial resources to support the fund," he points out, adding that the government is keen to eliminate such crimes and strengthen the co-operation with international organisations to safeguard the dignity of individuals all over the world."
The Shelters for Women and Children has been operating since 2008, under the patronage of Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak Al Ketbi. She donated AED5.1 million in 2011, according to state news agency WAM, and contributed land last year to build a better facility, which included space for setting up vocational training and rehabilitation centres – Ewa'a housed 23 victims in 2012.
Gargash clarifies that the new strategy of the National Committee to Combat Human Trafficking, which is being applied in the UAE in line with the international best practises in this field, is based on the 'five Ps' – prevention, prosecution, punishment, protection and promotion of international co-operation.
The meeting examined the committee's memorandum relating to the mechanism of dealing with the topics listed by the National Committee Secretariat and a proposal by the International Labour Organisation regarding collaboration with the committee to combat trafficking. It also discussed a media campaign to raise awareness about the Federal Law 51, the UN Plan of Action adopted by the UN General Assembly and a report on the visit of a delegation from the British Embassy to the committee in August 2013.
UAE residents can report trafficking suspicions to Ewa'a and can also make donations by calling 800 7283.

'I'm at last beginning to learn how to write, and I can let the writing mind dream'
After 19 novels John Banville believes he's getting the hang of it – and relaxing. Where once he tried to control everything in his books, now he lets the stories take their own course, with welcome results
'THE PAST HAS always obsessed me," says John Banville. I look carefully at him to see if this is a Banvillian joke: a moment earlier, as we made our way to the bar of the Merrion Hotel, he had been riffing with considerable glee on the vagueness and vagaries of the 66-year-old memory. "It's absolutely true," he protests. "The middle stuff is all gone. But the past is incredibly vivid. We think we're living in the present, but we're really living in the past.
"That's one of the themes of the novel; that we live most vividly in the past. It's a strange thing. Why does the past seem so magical, so fraught, so luminous? At the time it was just, ugh, another boring bloody day. But, to look back on, it's a day full of miracles and light and extraordinary events. Why is this? What process do we apply to the past, to give it this vividness? I don't know. And that's why I keep probing at the problem."
The past certainly has a starring role in Banville's new novel. Ancient Light, his 19th since the story collection Long Lankin was published, in 1970, finds the elderly actor Alexander Cleave writing a memoir about his illicit affair, as a young teenager, with the mother of his best friend, Billy Gray.
As Cleave beavers away in his attic room, his wife is suffering from night terrors that cause her to wander the house searching for their daughter Cass, who died by suicide in mysterious circumstances. Is Cleave's retreat into a sunny long-ago summer an attempt to escape from this overwhelming grief? If it is, it's doomed to fail, for when he is invited to play the role of an enigmatic literary critic named Axel Vander in a Hollywood movie, the layers of Cleave's reality get darker, weirder and more uncertain than ever.
Regular readers of Banville will already have spotted some familiar points of reference. Cleave made his first appearance in the novel Eclipse (2000), when he fled to his parents' house to mourn his dead daughter and his ailing acting career. Shroud (2002) took up the story from Cass's side. A researcher who has discovered dastardly deeds in the past of one Axel Vander, she goes to Italy to meet Vander, and ends up throwing herself on to the rocks at a Ligurian resort.
ALTHOUGH TECHNICALLY PARTof a trilogy with Eclipse and Shroud, Ancient Light stands as a novel in its own, majestic right. It is, it almost goes without saying, ravishingly written and scrupulously observed. But it's also a highly playful book, full of puns and puzzles and hilarious – or are they vicious? – pastiches. There's an academic, Prof Blank of the University of Arcady. At one point the narrator conjures up a doll from childhood: a 3D, horror-movie moment.
In his efforts to get into the role of Vander, meanwhile, Cleave is reading a biography that the film company has supplied. Called The Invention of the Past, it's written by "JB", whose style, Cleave notes with some asperity, is "wholly unnatural, synthetic and clotted".
Later in the book Cleave meets JB for a drink but wishes he hadn't. "JB is distinctly odd, and grows odder each time I encounter him," he declares. "He maintains a furtive, anxious air, and gives the impression always of being in the process of edging nervously away."
Not just JB but also, to a T, John Banville as he likes to think of himself, rather than the urbane, amusing sophisticate who turns up to interviews and literary conferences.

Skip heavy foundation and just use a good moisturizer with
SPF. If you have any zits or blemishes
try a tinted moisturizer or just use a dab of concealer on problem areas.
Balmy babe
If you're looking to add a little color to your poolside
makeup routine, try a tinted lip balm with SPF. It will give you a hint of
color without the icky stickiness of lip gloss, while still protecting your
lips from harmful UV rays.

Poolside hairstyles are all about being natural. Spritz sea salt spray all over wet hair for
gorgeous, beachy waves—even when you're stuck at home.
We love: Bumble and Bumble Surf Spray, $24, sephora.com
Play nice 'n' easy
Windy days at the beach can have your hair flying all over
the place. After a dip in the water, put
your hair in an easy side braid and secure the bottom with a no-pull elastic in
a fun color to prevent breakage.

Q: With all the sad news about soap operas, is there anything good? — Lauren in Walnut Creek Calif.
A: Well, there is one great new e-book on the world of soaps that came out in September. "Soap Opera 451: A Time Capsule of Daytime's Greatest Moments," written by Alina Adams, who is a soap insider and has had books on the New York Times bestseller list, loves soaps and wants to share her love of soaps with others.
She has many reasons to love soaps. One, it was because through soaps she learned to speak English. Coming from the Soviet Union, Adams had little contact with the English language. Moving to the States, she would watch soaps, and as she watched the soaps she learned to speak English. Adams appears not to have an accent but she often laughs and says: "Not true! Sometimes when I am nervous it comes through. But I owe my ability to often not have an accent to watching 'All My Children.' It is the show the Adams dearly loved.
Her soap book features interviews, the greatest scenes, prominent actors and writers, and links to classic video clips. She reached out to Internet fans and asked them to name their favorite scenes. Adams did not stop at merely recording what her fans responded with, she spent months and months looking through archives to find the scenes they were talking about.
Some of the topics in "Soap Opera 451" include interviews with "All My Children's" Eden Riegel on her character Bianca coming out as a lesbian to her mother, Erica Kane. She speaks with Linda Dano about "Another World's" Felicia undergoing alcohol intervention. She even went back to cult favorite "Dark Shadows," talking to Katherine Leigh Scott on bringing her character Josette back from the dead.
Michael Malone, the "One Life to Live" head writer who created Marty's gang rape story line, talked on record. "General Hospital's" Thom Racina, who is responsible for Luke and Laura's wedding, talks about what a major step it was for daytime and what it was like to write the most watched soap episode in the history of daytime.
While Prospect Park's plan for bringing soaps to the Internet fell through, Adams really believes that is eventually where soaps will be seen.
There is a difference with her book. When a print book comes off the line and into the bookstore, it is already outdated. You have to wait for the next edition to get updates. Not with "Soap Opera 451." With her e-book, Adams explains, she is able to link to the scene, where available. You can click a link in the book and have a personal chat with Eileen Davidson or Victoria Rowell, leave a message on John Lindstrom's Facebook page or donate to Hilary B. Smith's favorite charity. The information isn't static. It is constantly changing because daytime and television itself is ever evolving.
The book is available through Amazon.com, but you don't need a Kindle to read it. There is a free app that allows anyone to buy and read e-books on a computer or any other device at all that has Internet access. In fact, Electronic Books is the name of the program.
To get the free download, go to www.amazon.com/kindleforpc. Click the download now button, and follow all the instructions.
As for Adams' feelings on the cancellation of "All My Children": "I was very sad. My husband and I loved the show! It is what made me start watching daytime." She watched the last episode of AMC; she said she did want to see more flashbacks. "When they were talking about Erica learning that Bianca was gay, instead of using a clip, they talked about it. How much more interesting and current would it be if they had showed the clip? That's what I try and do in my book. Yes, there is dialogue, but there is lots of video. In this social networking climate, you need both."

November 21, 2014
GLOUCESTER, Va. (AP) -- A Virginia couple convicted of keeping their 6-year-old daughter in a makeshift cage face new charges stemming from the death of another child.
The Gloucester County Commonwealth's Attorney's Office told media outlets Wednesday that a grand jury indicted both Brian Gore and Shannon Gore on felony homicide and child neglect charges.
The office says the charges resulted from additional information authorities received about the remains of a child found buried under a shed at the couple's home.
Brian Gore and Shannon Gore are each serving 10 years in prison for child abuse and 20 years for malicious wounding in connection with the earlier case. Deputies investigating a burglary report in 2011 found the couple's daughter in a crib that was turned upside down and weighted.

Lux Or Bel, Belgium
I made this Infinity / Convertible Dress in May / June 2007. I was inspired by Rostitchery's tutorial. I used the instructions in Pieke Stuvel's book Rok & Co to measure myself and to make an inseam pocket.
Since it wasn't possible to make the skirt in one piece, my mom suggested to make these flappy things.
I am happy about the result even though in the end my pocket turned out very small because I sewed it in upside down and even though the fabric is a bit slippy and I have to be careful that the dress stays on when I wear it.
I don't know what kind of fabric it is. Chinese fabric :)

As you can remember I had a bounty hunter called Red Tracer, and he hasn't been in any of my creations recently because he got lost in my box of lego, and his other squad members got destroyed!! This is his story: Red Tracer (The Droid in the pictures) and his Bounty Hunter squad were on a mission with the separatist forces when the separatists betrayed them, meaning: That all but Red Tracer were destroyed. Red Tracer was the only lucky one with just losing his Robotic arm and legs. But then the Republic saved the day by rescuing him, and with thanks joined the Republic. Now the Mandolorian Helmeted warrior next to him is called Steve, his story is that his fathers Madalorian forces betrayed him (There was a lot of betraying in this creation!!) and he got destroyed!! In revenge Steve joined the Republic to get revenge on the Mandolorians who betrayed his father. Then Steve and Red Tracer combined forces, because of their same similarities (Of being betrayed) and became the New Warriors. Hope you like their story!! Next time will be the 19th day!!!! P.S. Could you please comment and rate this creation and other ones I have made in the past, Thank you.

Most likely to secedeJune 27,2013This spring the Vermont Independence Press of Waitsfield came out with a collection of essays published since 2005 in its quarterly magazine Vermont Commons. Its entitled Most Likely to Secede, but very little of it gets into the arguments for getting Vermont out of the decadent United States.
The argument for Vermont independence is the need for Vermont to secede from the United States and return to its status, until 1791, of an independent republic. The Second Vermont Republic partisans main rationale for their proposal was, when it first appeared, to get suffering Vermonters out from under the corporate-dominated, globalized, rich-serving, pro-nuclear, war-making, immoral and generally hateful Bush-Cheney Empire.
Not so much is heard of that any more, since America is now led by corporate-dominated, globalized, rich-serving, pro-nuclear, war-making, debt-increasing administration of Barack Obama, who has proved to be a good friend of the corporate and Wall Street interests that underwrite his campaigns (Ron Miller).
In fact, only three of the 35 authors included in the book explicitly advocate Vermont secession. Of more interest and value is the books subtitle: What the independence movement can teach us about reclaiming community and creating a human scale vision for the 21st century. The 35 authors do not necessarily agree with all ideas offered by the others (notably so in my case; I wrote the historical essay on Left and Right Decentralism). But the authors share a broad consensus about what a future decentralist Vermont could come to look like.
It would cease to be a nation of overfed clowns who believed that it was possible to get something for nothing, who ravaged the landscape in an orgy of wanton carelessness, who believed we were entitled to lives of everlasting comfort and convenience and expected the rest of the world to pay for it (James Howard Kunstler).
It would, like the people of Amish country, be more dependent on its own people for the provision of food, clothing and shelter, making use of intermediate technology understandable and repairable by local people. The most extreme version of this is Kirkpatrick Sales: using raw local (instead of imported) materials, nurturing local ingenuity without patent and copyright restrictions, and agreeing to abandon as unnecessary and undesirable almost everything manufactured at the factory level anywhere and anyhow.
It would produce its own sustenance, using ecological design, organic crops, permaculture, soil nourishment, and community supported agriculture. Its energy consumption would be considerably reduced, through efficiency in design, lifestyle changes, home-based work, draft animals, conservation, and replacement of grid electricity with locally generated hydro, wind, solar and biomass.
It would educate its young people in a wide variety of settings, on a human scale, rejecting the yoke of standardization and enforced conformity (Ron Miller). (The obvious way to do that is to install parental choice, but thats too much for Miller to bite off.)
Its health care would be decentralized and community based, where patients consider the effects on the community of demanding expensive high tech solutions (Thomas Naylor). A community culture supporting wise nutrition and healthful lifestyles would improve public health. Interestingly, Naylor believes the Vermont single-payer health care plan will never see the light of day. Neither the governor nor the members of the Legislature have a clue as to how much it will cost or how it will be financed. Its pure pie in the sky.
Finally, the new resilient, sustainable, low-impact Vermont would have a culture of democratic concern for the commons (water, air, the town square). Its citizens would be tied together not only by face to face interactions and common civic endeavors, but also through electronic Front Porch Forums (made possible, one might observe, by the global computer industry and the Internet). Its diverse local currency plans would deter financial leakage out of their areas of circulation, and thus stimulate local economies.
There are some obvious omissions, impracticalities, and weak points in this vision, but it would be unkind to dwell on them. What is refreshing about the book is that the authors, unlike socialists, do not envision or support the idea of some right-thinking vanguard seizing political power and coercing the population into taking their assigned places in the Grand Design.
They look forward to an active, public spirited citizenry, free to reshape their local communities through their own efforts, examples, persuasion, and enterprise. This is a goal worth supporting, and despite its title, Most Likely to Secede offers many ways to get there.

Springfield police chasing mysterious naked jogger
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. A Springfield man is giving new meaning to the phrase "fitness buff."
Police have received several reports of a man jogging nude through a city neighborhood, but so far have not been able to locate him.
The most recent reports came at about 6:30 a.m. Wednesday when several people called to report the au naturel runner.
Police responding to the scene couldn't find the man.
Sgt. John Delaney says there have been prior reports of a man running without clothes through the same neighborhood at about the same time of day.
He is described as a white man in his 30s.
Police say if apprehended, he faces charges of open and gross lewdness and indecent exposure.

April's cold days went on and on ... to a record
The Seattle area experienced the longest stretch of bone-chilling daytime temperatures for April in the 120 years since record-keeping began.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Freezing temperatures, snow flurries — now this was an April you probably want to forget.
But for weather trackers, the chilly 30-day span culminated with a surprise — the Seattle area experienced the longest stretch of bone-chilling daytime temperatures for April in the 120 years since record-keeping began.
Yes, our cold, wet April truly was as bad as it seemed. The average daily high temperature? 52.2 degrees. That beat the previous record of 52.6 in April 1970, according to the National Weather Service.
Seattle's typical average daily high for April is 58.2 degrees, weather-service meteorologist Dennis D'Amico said.
While things have been bad, even by traditional Pacific Northwest standards, D'Amico said it's no time to put away the down jackets and boots. Sunday's sunshine and warmer temps won't last — we'll be back in the 50s for much of this week.
D'Amico said the reason for the crummy spring is La Niña, the semiregular weather pattern created by unusually cold ocean temperatures near the equator in the Pacific Ocean.
Last month's cold made a nice companion for the soggy, with 21 days of rain. Total rainfall tracked at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport was 4.47 inches, nearly twice the average for April. Last month was one of the seven wettest Aprils since 1891, according to the weather service.
As for the rest of spring?
"I wouldn't say there are any signs of improvement any time soon," weather-service meteorologist Gary Schneider said. "May, June, July are forecast to be below normal temps and normal precips for the three months."

mjk (11th November 2013)
We have a RM CC4 network and I first installed this software in June for a PE BTEC exam. As I was unfamiliar with the whole process It took me about 26 hours to complete the many steps involved and reading paperwork/sending emails.
I was horrified that, after so much work in the summer, I had to go through the whole process again when Pearson announced that they were upgrading the software for the December 2013 exam.
What was infuriating was the fact that a requirement for using their new software was to install Microsoft Visual C ++ 2012. RM advised us that as part of our system we have v2008 and if we upgrade to the latest version other pre installed software would not work as it depends on the 2008 version. After several emails I received the news that we would be ok with the 2008 version. This delayed our installation they had set a deadline to do the upgrade so time was very tight.
Their expectation is that you install the Testplayer software locally on each machine and therefore when an upgrade happens you only have to run the upgrade on each machine. Obviously on any network this is not the way things are done when involving installs on multiple computers. I have had to do a complete re install, building a new package and re installing the Admin and Invigilator dashboards completely in case they dont communicate with each other with different builds. Fortunately the actual process for this has only taken two days. On their website they say to allow at least one hour for the installation.
However, it did all install ok on our RM CC4 network and the machines where the Testplayer was installed successfully connected to the Invigilator computer and the Invigilator dashboard to the Admin dashboard and everything connected to the Exam Centre Service on the server automatically.
The actual software for the POP installation involves 4 separate components
1. Exam Centre Service download their msi and install the program on server C:\Program Files\Pearson\ExamCentreService\ . The application will need to store data which needs to be accessible to the student users so changed the DataStore path to the General Shared area in a pre prepared folder named ESM_Test_Centre. I also entered details of our proxy server in the set up. After this setup it gives you instructions to find the downloaded MSIs for the for the other consoles.
2. Administrator Dashboard follow their instructions to install this locally on the exams officers computer locally. The AD needs to be left open, and the administrator logged on the exams officer computer to install the next component.
3. Invigilator Dashboard this needs to be installed on one computer in each exam room. Again the ID needs to be open and logged on as the Invigilator during the next step.
4. Test Player Using the MSI provided with the installation of the ExamCentreService the package built ok using App Wizard. Test users are provided for the test process and final candidate users are provided the day before the exam. Needed to make a shortcut available to the candidate users.
We have just completed the demo test on each computer which will be used for the exam - and have had confirmation that the tests were uploaded ok. For each of these demo tests in June and the one for December we fortunately did not have too many candidates, but next year we will have around 40. They really need to understand their target market and that poor school technicians do have other work to do!
I am now waiting in trepidation for the actual exam to see whether it will all work ok without the Microsoft Visual version that their new is meant to be dependent on
mjk (11th November 2013)
I have had nothing but problems with this software, when I first installed it before the upgrade was released it didn't work at all, it did work briefly when I upgraded it but have tried a dummy test this morning and now the exam students can't log-in because the test player can't connect to the invigilator dashboard. I have found that closing and re-opening the invigilator dashboard causes the invigilator account to be locked and you have to then enable it again in the admin dashboard! You have to set-up the connection to the invigilator dashboard when each user logs-in, this should be set per computer and not per user as you can't pre-configure all the machines beforehand. Also, if you have ffdshow installed it stops the video playback in the tests working so we've had to remove this from all the test machines. (You can white-list it in the ffdshow settings but this is a user specific setting which is a hassle because the students use a custom mandatory profile)

I always create specific user log ons for exams, then any settings required will only be available for the duration of the exam. These users could even have privileged status temporarily on computers if necessary. I think I was lucky that this all worked, but during the installation of Testplayer I had the Admin and invigilator dashboards open and signed into when I assigned the Testplayer from the RM Management console. The exams officer's log in has privileged user settings anyway so she uses her usual log on. I created a new log on for the invigilator, as this could be anyone, which has usual teacher settings, think I added invigilator to privileged on the local machine as well. I had to go onto each computer and 'discover' the invigilator dashboard, which will be a nightmare next summer as we have over 40 students doing BTEC online.
I usually create user log in slips for online exams and for this one they also get one which is generated on the invigilator dashboard.
Don't know if this is much help as I'm not a 'techie' and very lucky that, although it took hours first time round, it worked. I have written some pretty scathing emails to Pearson though. Their developers just have no idea what it is like to run a school network, they don't realise that we have other tasks to do!
We have been using this software since 2008, and I have had nothing but problems and compatibility issues with it. Trying to contact their support desk is a nightmare and i am often left on hold for several minutes. I find that the level of technical know-how varies from operator to operator and I am often referred to their 2nd line support. I always dread it when updates are applied, as this will always mean a phone call to get things right! Would I recommend this software?... NO

After testing with our upstream we discovered that not only port 443 is used but for some unknown reason UDP port 137 is also used. I have asked for clarification why this is needed so I can get the port open. If you are having issues with the admin dashboard not working it may be worth checking your event viewer as my errors show it is getting an invalid user and cs line faults from their end. This information has been forwarded to them but as of yet an acceptable response has not been received .

At Youth America Grand Prix's gala performance last April, Natalia Osipova and Ivan Vasiliev stopped the show. The moment they burst onto the stage in Vasily Vainonen's Flames of Paris, the audience cheered. Their jumps were so high and their pirouettes so insanely uncountable that we kept on yelling. But it was at Vasiliev's first split jeté entournant that the excitement exploded into a deafening roar, such as I have never experienced at City Center—or any other theater. And it wasn't coming from overhead or over yonder; it was right around me. And I was part of it! One simply couldn't sit still.
The surprises kept coming. His variation sported double air turns on a dangerous-looking tilt, and the coda had her whizzing through single-double fouettés—with triples occasionally thrown in. But Osipova and Vasiliev are not simply tricksters. She has as much air as fire in her dancing, and he modulates his timing so that you see his heart as well as his triumphs. In this, their U.S. debut as a pair, they emerged as dazzlers.

@Rawns - i've merged your thread in here.
@all - I need to combine the other related threads into here really, the most notably workaround we've had was in the other thread, but i can't think which one. This error is an odd one, and i find it happens a lot of photo reports. But can happen with others, i think it's more the template itself.
There are two big issues i have found, printing individual reports fails with "SIMS has encountered an error". If you look it is going to the C: drive users folder under appdata\local\temp . The others probs seem to go to "My SIMS Documents" or tempsimsrpts folder which usually goes to whereever the 'My Documents' / 'Documents' is redirected to.
For this latter problem, where it has an object error it seems to be to do with having access to a template file from Word. Opening a different type of Word file in another section seems to release this lock. At one point i managed to track down the fact that on first open, the user was the owner but later this changed to a system account. I haven't repeated those findings this academic year though as there have been many system changes. We've tried changing the redirected folders to go to a mapped drive, rather than full UNC path, to no avail as yet.
It also affects late letters, which i guess is doing similar with it's mailmerge routine to the reports using wordlist templates which also pull in variables.
One user on SupportNet said that opening a student's linked documents prior to printing an ind. report run, stopped the first issue (sims encountered an error). So it all seems related to opening templates, locks on the files, permissions, and roaming-ness. Each set up is different and so hard to troubleshoot, one of the main reasons i haven't logged a case yet, as i can't prove it's SIMS though i'm certain it's to do with the way SIMS uses Office in a windows environment.
At the moment, i just keep retrying the report, or a different report, then try quickletters, or a late letter, one of them then releases the lock. Usually, i only need to try another type of report at most twice then can return to the one i want to use. Luckily it's not been a major issue for users as yet.
No joy with printing. I spent ages last year, and have got 3-4 scripts, that will rename .xml to .doc, or do bulk printing of .xml files, in a way that prints them in order, so the workaround is to export to a folder, and then print later. Otherwise, i'm thinking of creating a local user account for the guy who does the ind. report printing, but it would be easier to just give him a virtual win7 box to do it on, so he can still do other work, and email etc.

Albemarle County Police were once cleared of any wrong doing in this case, but once again are defending themselves against a wrongful death claim.
A jury began hearing witness testimony Monday afternoon in the wrongful death lawsuit of a Nelson County man fatally shot by police nearly a decade ago.
The father of Frederick Gray is asking for $6,000,000 in compensation. He says it's for Gray's two young children, age 9 and 10.
Gray's father testified at the retrial in Charlottesville Circuit Court Monday. He said his son was never violent and had no alcohol or drugs in his system when he was killed. His attorney said police officers had no reason to shoot Gray twice during a struggle at his Squire Hill apartment in 1997.
Defense attorneys for five county police officers say Gray violently resisted arrest and had taken three officers to the ground before police had no choice but to use deadly force.
Three years ago, a jury cleared the officers of any wrong doing. The case is being retried after a Supreme Court ruling that will allow the officers prior statements admitted at this trial.
The trial is expected to last four days.

MU solar car still 8th
Cloudy skies meant a break from the heat and a break in the speed for MU's SunTiger VI during the fifth day of the North American Solar Challenge.
"We had zero problems today, but we just didn't have the sun we needed," project manager Dave Barber said. "So we just traveled a little less than the speed limit."
Missouri team stays on course
The fourth day of the North American Solar Challenge turned out to be another successful day for the Missouri team, which traveled an average speed of 31 mph from Auburn, Neb. to Pipestone, Minn.
The team had some slight problems finding its way on the 312-mile journey Wednesday, and there were only minor mechanical problems.
Bowers gets big league admiration
His major-league career isn't one to brag about. It lasted all of 21 games and 39 at-bats with the Baltimore Orioles in 1996.
But the length of Windy City manager Brent Bowers' stint in the big leagues doesn't concern his players.
Games scoring dollars for city
Kurt Mirtsching is excited about the Show-Me State Games, but not because he is an athlete. He is one of the owners of Shakespeare's Pizza.
"We get a nice bump in business when the Show-Me State Games come to town," Mirtsching said. "It's definitely noticeable."
Moving forward
In Houston for the Big 12 Conference's media day Wednesday, Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel said that only time will help ease the Tigers' grief.
Their friend and teammate Aaron O'Neal is gone. His tragic death on July 12 casts a shadow over the start of a new season.
Another Pujols home run sparks Cardinals win
ST. LOUIS — Albert Pujols is such a consistent producer for the St. Louis Cardinals that his manager says people expect too much.
Pujols hit a home run for the third straight game and the fourth in six since the All-Star break, backing Mark Mulder in a 4-2 victory against the Milwaukee Brewers on Wednesday night.
Kansas beats Cleveland
CLEVELAND — Jose Lima stopped his winless streak on the road at 14 starts, sending Cleveland to its 11th loss in 13 games.
Donnie Murphy and Angel Berroa hit solo home runs for Kansas City off C.C. Sabathia (6-7), who lost his third straight start overall. Sabathia is 1-5 with a 5.97 ERA at home this year, including 0-5 in eight starts in Cleveland since beating the Royals 6-0 on April 29.
Winning ways end
ST. LOUIS — Bill Hall's two-run double in the eighth inning gave the Milwaukee Brewers, once down by four runs, a 5-4 victory against the St. Louis Cardinals on Tuesday night.
Lyle Overbay hit a home run and Brady Clark had three hits and an RBI for the Brewers, who beat the Cardinals for the second time in eight meetings and ended St. Louis' five-game winning streak. The Cardinals led 4-0 entering the fifth.
Poll puts MU fourth in North
Media members covering Big 12 football predicted that Missouri will finish fourth in the North Division this season. Colorado and Texas, meanwhile, were picked as the division champions.
Tigers decide to resume practices
A week after Aaron O'Neal's death following a voluntary practice, the MU football team resumed workouts Tuesday morning.
The voluntary practice began around 7 a.m., and the team will continue its previously set schedule of morning and afternoon practices, said Director of Media Relations Chad Moller.
Renault rebounds despite Mavs' loss
Until Mid-Missouri right-hander Nick Renault took the mound for the Mavericks' 3-1 loss to Windy City Tuesday night, nagging thoughts of his most recent start lingered in his mind.
Seven hits, seven runs and three home runs in 1 2/3 innings Saturday at Gateway's GMC Stadium.
Greinke blanks Cleveland
CLEVELAND — For three days during the All-Star break, Zack Greinke hardly moved a muscle. He wasn't tired, just tired of losing.
Refreshed from some time off, Greinke pitched seven shutout innings for his second win since the break and Emil Brown hit a home run off unlucky Cleveland starter Kevin Millwood, sending the Kansas City Royals to a 4-0 victory against the Indians on Tuesday night.
MU volleyball opens Sept. 2
The Missouri volleyball team released its 2005 competition schedule on Tuesday. Last season the team tied for third place in the Big 12 with a 14-6 record. The Tigers will return six starters, including All-American setter Lindsay Hunter. Six of the opponents they will face this season are ranked in the AVCA Top 25 Coaches' Poll.
Missouri finished 24th in the poll after advancing to the second round of the NCAA tournament. The first game is the annual Tiger Invitational on Sept. 2 at Hearnes Center.
Rolen returns to Cards' lineup
ST. LOUIS — Scott Rolen was back in the St. Louis Cardinals' lineup Tuesday, a day after undergoing strength tests that showed no significant problems in his surgically repaired left shoulder.
Armed with a relatively clean medical report, manager Tony La Russa said he'd use Rolen as often as the All-Star third baseman's health would allow. Rolen has not gotten full range of motion back, especially at the plate, but La Russa said he's seen positive signs since Rolen skipped the All-Star Game to take a four-day break.
MU solar car makes gains despite winds
The third day of the North American Solar Challenge got off to a rainy start for MU's SunTiger VI. The team traveled at an average speed of 33 miles per hour while traveling approximately 330 miles from Broken Arrow, Okla. to Auburn, Neb.
"We steered clear of the rain today. A bit of it was luck and bit was strategy," team member Kenneth Keane said.
Rams tickets go on sale July 23
A limited number of St. Louis Rams single-game seats will go on sale July 23 at 10 a.m. Tickets have sold out for 85 games. Tickets are $44 to $85 each plus a convenience fee, and may be purchased through Ticketmaster.
Diamond Wildcats will hold tryouts
The Diamond Wildcats girls fast-pitch softball team is holding tryouts for the 2006 season on Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Southern Boone County High School in Ashland.
