Thanks Fruitbat I have just tried to use my Paragon backup program (which operates well on my Vista PC) and have got an error 0x11112, VSS technology specific I think this relates to the System Partition on my primary disk where I have over 200mb of free space. Is this relevant?
I have scanned for malware and its ok

Make sure that the VSS (Volume Shadow Service) is running automatic
Have you used other imaging software previously eg Norton Ghost?

For Fruit Bat No, only the Windows 7 own backup and restore as an alternative to Paragon when it didn't work. How do I reach the option - automatic, is it in a folder in Control Panel? Thanks

type "services.msc" in the Search box
When the services windows opens scroll down to Volume Shadow Service highlight it and right click select Properties
On the General tap you will see a startup type box click on the arrow and select Automatic just below that you will see Service status if it is stopped (I suspect it is and this is causing your problem) then click on Start button - Click OK.
Retry your backup program - if still not working try rebooting and then retry the backup program.

For Fruit Bat I found the VSS turned off and did as you suggested. I tried again to use first Windows 7 backup image - it failed. I downloaded a copy of Macrium Reflect which I read does not use the VSS (?). It detected an error that needed CHKDSK. I got an all clear on the C:/ partition. That did clear the error but did not allow Macrium to back up, producing another CHKDSK requirement. Can I/ should I safely CHKDSK the System partition? Sixosix

For Fruit Bat Since my last post I have managed to image the system partition so I guess its OK I tried the main partition (C:/) and got the same error code.
"Error reading volume bitmap - Error code = 1. Please run 'chkdsk C: /f'"
f is my 120gb external disk
I have been down this route twice and chkdsk does not seem to find anything wrong with the C:/ partition. Sixosix

Now I'm CEO that's seven dollars on the retail, bitch
from Mac Dre (Ft. Yukmouth) – Boss Tycoon Lyrics on Genius
Yukmouth is the founder and owner of several record labels. It is a pretty well-known fact in the industry that when you sign to a record label you rarely make more than a dollar per record sold. So to have seven dollars of each record sale go in your pocket is to be balling out of freaking control (especially if you sell 80,000 records your first week out, as he claims in the previous line).

Shaun Ryder: ''Twilight' is Romeo And Juliet with fangs' Happy Mondays Tickets
The Happy Mondays frontman also says he'll be watching 'Downton Abbey' on Christmas Day
He told Shortlist that his wife and daughters made him watch all four films in a row, saying:
They even made me watch the Twilight saga the other day – all four of them on the bounce. But they're OK – they're just Romeo And Juliet with fangs.
He added that he'll be watching Downton Abbey on Christmas Day, saying: "The missus loves it. I don't mind it, either. It's a glamorous soap opera."
The Happy Mondays' new album is "sounding brilliant", according to the band's vocalist Rowetta.
Speaking to NME this autumn, she said: "Shaun's lyrics are great and everybody's playing better than before because we've all got clearer heads. We're going to get different producers on board I believe, so it will all change. We used to have the producer first then start writing."
The singer also revealed some of the possible names for the album, stating: "The working titles include 'Designer Vagina', 'Lollipop Man', 'Mumbo Jumbo'."
The band play tonight (December 20) at London's Roundhouse venue. To check the availability of Happy Mondays tickets and get all the latest listings, go to NME.COM/TICKETS now, or call 0871 230 1094.

AOTA's mental health legislation introduced in the House.
Everything you need to know if you're thinking about a career in occupational therapy.
Find out what is happening at AOTA and how to get involved.
Find out about OT's role with the care of individuals with spinal cord injury.
Primary care is the provision of integrated, accessible health care services by clinicians who are accountable for addressing a large majority of personal health care needs, developing a sustained partnership with patients, and practicing in the context of family and community. Evolving standards for care indicate that comprehensive primary care requires a coordinated team-based approach that promotes collaborative care, shared decision-making, sustained relationships with patients and families, and quality improvement activities. New primary care delivery models have increased the emphasis on management of chronic conditions to reduce costs and improve population health. AOTA believes that occupational therapy practitioners are well prepared to contribute to interprofessional care teams addressing the primary care needs of individuals across the lifespan, particularly those with, or at risk for, one or more chronic conditions. Occupational therapy practitioners' distinct knowledge of the significant impact that habits and routines have on individuals' health and wellness will make their contribution to primary care distinct. We hope the resources below will help you understand our vision for occupational therapy in primary care.

PARIS: Mickelson got Phil of all things green
LA JOLLA -- Let's get this out of the way early: Phil Mickelson, your Farmers Insurance Open table is ready, and it comes with something meaty to sink your teeth into.
"I was a strict vegetarian for five months,'' Mickelson said. "That went OK. But ultimately, it was doomed to fail.''
Mickelson, the Rancho Santa Fe resident, was chatting with the press at last week's Abu Dhabi Championship. The subject turned to Mickelson's diet, which became a running joke last August after he turned to everything green.
That Mickelson, a part-owner of Five Guys Burgers and Fries in Orange County, was eating like a rabbit was a hoot. This is a guy who went to Five Guys six straight days at last year's Players Championship.
"I grew up on In-N-Out," Mickelson said. "I thought that was the best burger until I had Five Guys. That is hands down the best burger I've ever had."
This is a player who was photographed the morning after winning the Masters driving through Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for a sugar fix in his, um, green jacket.
So when Mickelson swore off the juicy drippings of a double-stacked hamburger, it was met with a side order of disbelief. Mickelson, who has battled arthritis, said those kinds of salad days are behind him.
"I had lost a lot of strength over the summer from some medications I took before I was really getting treatment,'' he said. "I was having difficulty getting that strength back, and so I added some protein into my diet, and since I've been able to get back lifting weights and so forth to what I was lifting before.''
His hoisting of utensils with meat attached could serve as a fork in the road of Mickelson's marvelous career. His three Masters titles leap from his resume, but there's a number that's missing: No. 1. Could this be the year he gains that distinction in the world rankings?
Mickelson appeared poised to land atop the heap in 2010. Tiger Woods was distracted by an infidelity scandal and didn't record a win. Mickelson won the Masters -- his only tour victory -- and collected six top-10 finishes. That wasn't enough to the push the needle to No. 1, and he enters Thursday's Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines ranked No. 6.
"My goal this year in 2011 is to have the year I expected 2010 to be,'' Mickelson said. "With the exception of the Masters, it wasn't the year I had hoped for. So I've been working hard in the offseason to make 2011 the year I believe I can have and the one I had hoped for last year.''
He started the season in the Middle East, shooting a 5-under-par 283, 19 strokes behind Abu Dhabi winner Martin Kaymer. But Mickelson was in the United Arab Emirates to do more than play, as he traveled with his family in appreciating a spot on the world's other side.
"I feel fortunate that golf has allowed me an opportunity to experience so many different cultures and countries,'' Mickelson said. "I don't know if it makes me a better player or not. Hopefully it does.

The name of the set is a little misleading. The cards were issued in 1933 by Orbit Company of Chicago inside one-cent packages of Tattoo gum. However, the names have been merged together in hobby lore for decades, probably due to Jefferson Burdick or another early hobbyist writing something down that way. In any case, there is nothing on the cards themselves to identify the maker or brand name, so the cards have been overlooked by a lot of collectors.
Tattoo Orbit cards are 2 inches by 2 ½ inches, which make them slightly smaller than most 1930s gum cards. Card fronts feature a slightly tinted black and white player picture against a vivid stadium background. That background is unique because it uses bright red, yellow and green, which often focus the viewer's eye away from the player. Backs are as simple as possible without being blank: a name, team, position, date of birth, height and weight are the only items listed. There aren't any numbers, trademarks or advertisements to help identify the maker to a collector.
There are four cards that appear to have been short-printed and are scarcer than the rest. Irving Hadley and George Blaeholder seem to be the toughest, followed by Ivy Paul Andrews and Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby.

Sonic Dash is an endless runner platform video game developed by Hardlight and published by Sega. The game is freeware. It was released exclusively on mobile phones, and is the second game in the Sonic the Hedgehog series developed by Hardlight for the platform, the first being Sonic Jump. The game was released on March 7, 2013 for iOS, November 26, 2013 for Android, and December 3, 2014 for Windows.[2]
Similar to how Sonic Jump played as a vertical platformer video game like Doodle Jump, Sonic Dash is played as an endless runner, similar to the Temple Run or Rayman Jungle Run video games.[3][4] In the game, the player directs Sonic through levels, collecting rings and avoiding obstacles and enemies. Unlike other games in the series, Sonic automatically moves forward at all times, similar to Sonic and the Secret Rings.[5] Players are able to share and compete for accomplishments such as "fastest time" or "longest distance".[6]
The game features 3D graphics, set in an environment based on the "Seaside Hill" level of Sonic Heroes.[7] Like its predecessors, rings can be collected throughout the levels or purchased via microtransactions, and accumulated rings can be used to purchase further content in the game, such as items, upgrades, or additional playable characters. The game also retains the objective system from Sonic Jump; players are granted a permanent score multiplier increase for every set of three objectives completed.
Throughout the levels red rings can be found, however players can purchase them as well. They are used to buy new characters to play as, all from the Sonic universe, which currently includes Tails, Knuckles, Shadow, Amy, Blaze, Silver, Rouge and Cream.
On October 31, 2013, an update was released that included a boss battle against Zazz, a member of the Deadly Six, from Sonic Lost World.[8]
In a November 2012 interview with UK toy trade magazine Toys 'n' Playthings, Sega of Europe employee Sissel Henno confirmed that Sega would have "several new digital titles" in 2013.[9] On February 28, 2013, the title Sonic Dash was spotted on a listing from a Linked In profile.[10] Shortly after, on March 1, 2013, Sega confirmed the game's existence,[11] with an official press release going out on March 4.[6] The game was announced to be exclusively for mobile phones,[6] with iOS being the only platform explicitly mentioned,[4] stating that it would be available on the App Store "soon".[6] On the day of the iOS release on March 7, 2013, Sega's website confirmed that Hardlight is developing an Android version of Sonic Dash, although they didn't announce the date of release.[12] However, there was issues during development, mostly on the android devices because it require testing for bugs and issues before getting it released.[13] On September 19, 2013, Sega Europe stated that the Android version's release date would be announced "soon",[14] with it eventually releasing on November 26, 2013.[15]
Reviews for the game have been mixed. Aggregator MetaCritic calculated a score of 69 out of 100, based on 26 reviews, labeling it as having "mixed or average reviews".[16] Destructoid gave the game a 7 out of 10, praising the game's control, finding that the "swipe"-based motions worked better than the tilt-based ones typical of the genre, but criticized the game for its repetitious nature, and in-app purchases that ranged from "not needed" to "pretty damn annoying."[17] IGN gave the game a 6 out of 10 score, similarly praising the game's control, while criticizing the cheap level design and "pay-to-win" aspect of the game's leaderboard ranking system.[18] Eurogamer gave it the same score, noting that the game felt rushed, and that the in-app purchases felt like they were motivated by greed.[19] Touch Arcade gave the game a 3.5 out of 5 score, comparing it favorably to the special stages in Sonic the Hedgehog 2.[20] Digital Spy referred to it as "the best Sonic has played on a smartphone yet".[21]
Critics were ultimately divided on the game's merits; Gamezebo lauded the game for being "the first time in 20 years that Sega has put out a Sonic game that you absolutely have to play",[22] while MacLife referred to it as a game that "fumbles the fundamentals and aggravates with heavy-handed in-app purchases."[23]
The game had been downloaded 20 million times by July 2013[24] and 65 million times by June 2014.[25]

Some pundits have speculated that the Baltimore riots may benefit Republicans in next year's elections. On the other hand, Walsh, of Salon and MSNBC, thinks that the unrest has yielded an opportunity for liberalism.
In a two-part series, Walsh argued that one lesson of Baltimore is that Democrats' Bill Clintonesque center-left "approach to race, crime and inequality" has proved inadequate, and that the party now must confront "the big structural issues driving poverty and rising inequality, not the behavior of the poor." Meanwhile, sniped Walsh, when it comes to those problems the GOP is "still race baiting" and "still stuck in the 1980s."

During an interview on Wednesday's Good Morning America to discuss his newly formed presidential campaign, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee hilariously told George Stephanopoulos, former communication director for Bill Clinton, how he is best suited to defeat the "Clinton machine."

The headline at Sandhya Somashekhar's Washington Post column on Pamela Geller, whose Muhammad Art Exhibit and Cartoon Contest was the target of a failed terrorist attack, acts as if that attack is her fault: "Event organizer offers no apology after thwarted attack in Texas."
Somashekhar's work reeks of contempt for Geller and her efforts, even going beyond the media malfeasance cited in the Brent Bozell-Tim Graham column posted at NewsBusters Tuesday evening.

The pro-abortion crowd is getting desperate. With public opinion slowly shifting away from their favor, and the number of abortion mills closing, it seems their days are numbered. According to Salon,com there is only one thing left to do about the pro-life movement: "more people, media and academics in public discourse, need to talk about this as terrorism — because that's what it is."

Timer ready? Go!: foreign countries and rich people gave millions to the Clinton Foundation and/or paid Bill big bucks to give speeches. In return, Hillary's State Department pushed policies favorable to them. And, stop! I timed that at exactly eleven seconds.
On today's Morning Joe, Mike Barnicle made the absurd claim that the shady dealings described in Clinton Cash, officially out today, won't hurt Hillary much because they're too hard for Americans to understand. "I challenge you to explain in one or two minutes to, you know, anyone, what is going on here with the Clintons and all this foundation money."

After Tuesday's CBS This Morning fretted about the "distractions" facing Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign, CBS and NBC continued parroting the Clinton campaign's rhetoric on Tuesday night, touting the "counteroffensive" that was launched to thwart "the litany of distractions" ranging from the Clinton Foundation to Benghazi.

Liberals claim to be the world's boldest defenders of freedom of expression, which is, of course, nonsense. Here's another canard: Liberals also claim to be the most offended against anyone "blaming the victim." What liberals possess is an ideological system which identifies favored groups as victims, and supports squelching the free speech of anyone challenging them.
One of those favored groups are Muslims. Over the weekend, the American Freedom Defense Initiative (AFDI) held the Muhammad cartoon contest in Dallas, obviously a provocative event. But it wasn't meant to result in two Islamic extremists showing up with assault rifles, and shot to death by police after they opened fire.

It appears that someone might need to schedule an intervention with the Associated Press's economics writers.
In his dispatch published a half-hour after the government's March release on international trade at 8:30 this morning, the wire service's Martin Crutsinger quoted a normally upbeat economist who was singing the blues about the result's effect on previously reported first-quarter economic growth. Now, he said, the economy "undoubtedly contracted slightly in the first quarter" by an estimated 0.3 percent. But about an hour later, the AP's Christopher Rugaber ignored this assessment — and that of many others — in his writeup covering the 10 a.m. release of the Institute for Supply Management's Non-Manufacuring Index. Don't these guys talk to each other?

Fine trip - journey of 4 hours to ourazazate over the Atlas Mountains was long and worth it. However, it's nowhere near the Sahara desert as the itinerary suggests.
Ait Benhadou was picturesque as well. Basically, it's 8 hours in the car for 3-4 hours of sightseeing. Not bad but not great either.

Very enjoyable, a great way to get to know Oslo.

The recommendations are usually by age and weight (e.g., 4 and 40). Why do they focus on weight, when it seems like height influences the fit of the seat more? I'm just curious; I'm wondering if weight is more important than I realize or if that is just easier for people to remember and follow?
This doesn't have anything to do with our car seats (I have a tiny 5 year old harnessed in a Nautilus and a tiny 7 year old in a Turbobooster - whose friends all use no seat at all; DS is getting a new Nautilus or Frontier).

Explain the symbol of the wasp in, "A Passage to India".
1 Answer | Add Yours
The wasp symbolizes India itself. Mrs. Moore admires the wasp for its beauty, especially since it is such an Indian wasp and not at all British. However, she completely underestimates or ignores its power to sting.
In the same way, she admires India's beauty, forgetting that this is a country desperately trying to survive and keep its own identity. That beautiful "sting" will eventually be aimed at the British raj, as she finally understands at the end of the story, as she leaves to return to England.

Afghanistan has made a beginning towards digital information. Afghan government announced that it will give approved researchers access to the raw data it collects in its demographic and economic surveys, expanding access from the prepared data sets it provides now. This step is taken towards enhancing open data plan in the country. Afghanistan, still in its post-war phase has underdeveloped conditions in terms of infrastructure, personnel training and funding. Decision to build Integrated Library System is an open concept: open access, open source, and open standards, are influenced by globalization of open user behavior and expectations.
Potential Barriers
Socio-political condition is dire in the post-war period. Most resources are dedicated to re-building the physical infrastructure and fighting terror. Hence barriers to Open Access of information resources are war, migration, and economic hardships in addition to lack of local content in these Arabic/Persian/Farsi/Dari Languages.

Someone in the cockpit of the Malaysian Airlines flight MH370 might have plotted at least four different potential flight paths, three of them to Australia, feel investigators.
Releasing a a comprehensive 64-page report outlining the basis on which this new search area had been defined, the investigators believe that flight routes were programmed for Port Hedland, Adelaide and Perth.
The fourth destined flight path was programmed for the Cocos Island, which is 2750 km north-west of Perth, reports news.com.au.
The plane, which was on auto-pilot, disappeared from air traffic control radar screens on March 8 this year, and Australian Transport Safety Bureau investigators have said that the hunt for MH370 would shift further south.
The report provides the most thorough detail about what might have happened to MH370 and the 239 people aboard.
Authorities believe MH370 turned left before entering Vietnamese air space and tracked along the Malacca Strait before making a southern turn at the north-west tip of Sumatra, Indonesia.
The report identified southern air routes that MH370 may have intersected or traversed after deviating from its flight-planned route to Beijing.

Sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) was included in the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of the Republic Act No. 10627, otherwise known, as the "Anti-Bullying Act of 2013″. The IRR was signed on December 13 by Bro. Armin A. Luistro, FSC, Secretary of the Department of Education (DepEd).
Under Rule II: Definition of Terms of the IRR, "bullying" is defined as "any severe, or repeated use by one or more students of a written, verbal or electronic expression, or a physical act or gesture, or any combination thereof, directed at another student that has the effect of actually causing or placing the latter in reasonable fear of physical or emotional harm or damage to his property; creating a hostile environment at school for the other student; infringing on the rights of another student at school; or materially and substantially disrupting the education process or the orderly operation of a school".
These acts include: unwanted physical contact between the bully and the victim like punching, pushing, shoving, kicking, slapping, tickling, headlocks, inflicting school pranks, teasing, fighting and the use of available objects as weapons; any act that causes damage to a victim's psyche and/or emotional well-being; any slanderous statement or accusation that causes the victim undue emotional distress; and "cyber- bullying".
These acts also include "gender-based bullying", which is "any act that humiliates or excludes a person on the basis of perceived or actual SOGI."

From The Chair
March 2015
Palliative Care, Ethics, and the Estrangement of Emotions in Medical Practice
Pediatric palliative care and pediatric medical ethics have, for a variety of reasons, an overlapping relationship. In an article that appeared in Pediatrics in 2014 (available for free: http://tinyurl.com/PPC-PedMedEthics), Pam Nathanson and I traced some of the historical, cultural, social, and self-selection reasons for this overlap. In addition to describing both the opportunities and challenges of this overlapping relationship, we also proposed several ways to best manage this relationship.
Instead of reiterating what we wrote in that article, here I want to open up another perspective on this relationship, namely the ways in which medical practice is so often estranged from emotions (of clinicians as well as of patients and parents), how this estrangement is particularly problematic in the realm of pediatric palliative care (because in this circumstance emotions so often run so strong), how the resulting conflicts (both of frustrated unexpressed emotions, and the emotions that arise from conflict) get translated into ethical concerns as a more sanctioned way to deal with emotionally laden conflict, and how ethics consultation either helps to work through these emotional dynamics (of individuals, between clinicians and patients and parents, and within clinical teams) or simply further reinforces the emotional estrangement that started the whole cycle.
Let me, for the rest of this essay, unpack that very long sentence. First, what do I mean by "emotional estrangement"? What I am pointing to here are the ways in which we suppress the expression of emotions in day-to-day medical care encounters. This occurs through a combination of self-censuring (I am feeling sad or angry, but I can't say anything about this feeling, because doing so would be viewed as unprofessional, or I can't show how I feel because doing so will not help my child) or due to comments of others (You can't let this get to you, or I need you to calm down). Even patients, parents, or clinicians who feel comfortable expressing one type of emotion (and who may do so at full volume) are likely to be much more reluctant to express other emotions. Over time, these acts of emotional suppression turn into emotional distancing and disowning. We lose the space to feel what we are feeling, first on the outside (in our social world) and then on the inside. Furthermore, medical practice prides itself on being evidence-based and rational, and is, depending on the setting, either ambivalent, awkward, or adversarial towards acknowledging and working with emotions.
Few of life's events are likely to evoke stronger emotions than confronting a life-threatening illness or condition affecting a child. In the realm of pediatric palliative care, accordingly, parental and clinician affect — both positive and negative — is often dialed up to a very high level. Let me emphasize the duality of this affective increase: feelings of fear, sadness, anger, and guilt are often accompanied by feelings of love, pride, joy, and support. This is a potent mix. While the combination of strong emotions can result in deeply meaningful interactions, the combination may also combust, either within an individual or between people. In my experience, the likelihood of this happening seems to increase the more that the people involved are estranged from their own emotions or the emotions of others.
When emotions combust, conflict results. Yet rarely do we acknowledge and openly grapple with the underlying emotions that may be driving the conflict. Instead, we tend to ascribe the emotional intensity as arising from an underlying conflict about something couched in cognitive terms — conflict about "decision making" regarding a general treatment plan or about a specific intervention. The "decision" becomes the conflict, defining the terms of what needs to be sorted out, and emotions become a secondary issue (if acknowledged at all). While decision points in a treatment plan certainly can be flash points for conflict, my strong thesis here is that 9 times out of 10, the emotions of the people involved (the patient, family members, clinicians) are the essence of what the conflict represents. Metaphorically, while decisions often serve as lightning rods, emotions are the electricity in the atmosphere.
Importantly, the emotions of different people do not need to be "in conflict" for conflict to exist: if a parent and a clinician both feel sad but cannot communicate this reality to each other in a clear and compassionate manner, new emotions can arise and conflict can ensue. Perhaps even more importantly, many of the emotions that clinicians are "trained" to feel (in both the sense of not being permitted to feel or display certain emotions while being allowed or rewarded for displaying others) are seemingly more "sophisticated" embellishments of emotional pain, arising from primary emotions of fear or sorrow. As a physician, if I am called to the bedside and see a very ill child who is suffering in physical pain, I have received many cues over the years that I have to somehow stifle any feelings of intense anxiety (I am not competent enough to help this child) or immense sadness (This is just so overwhelmingly bleak for this child). So instead of being self-aware of these feelings, and managing them, I instead might morph them into less vulnerable feelings and into more judgmental emotions, such as self-righteous anger (How could anyone let this situation get this bad!). With practice, this morphing process takes place quicker than a blink of an eye, concealing from ourselves and from others the emotional origins of our response.
Enter the ethics consultant. The conflict became so sharp or intractable that someone, most often a member of a clinical team and typically the attending physician (because of how the medical hierarchy operates to influence and control people's behavior — a topic for a different day) asked for an ethics consultation. And, armed with the tools of rational discourse about beneficence, autonomy, and other concepts, or the skills of mediation, the ethics consultation process may provide just enough of a spray of cooling water upon the emotional fires to enable the immediate conflict to be resolved. But what I want to emphasize here is the choice to either address, or leave unaddressed, the emotions that are the essence of the conflict. For me, almost all ethics consults require bringing underlying emotions to light: the consult may also require other more intellectual tasks, but emotions and how we manage them are foundational. I feel so strongly about this that, in my view, to not address the emotional underpinning of discord is so misguided that doing so is an unethical act.
How can we address emotions in an ethically appropriate manner? I will end by simply saying, as my parents did when I was growing up, look to yourself and your own actions before judging the behavior of others. I try, in other words, to not perpetuate the estrangement of emotion in my own life. While I do not want to turn my patients or their family members into my therapists, I do state openly when I am feeling fear, worry, anxiety, or sadness. I go out of my way to avoid ever causing someone else to feel shame regarding the emotions that they are feeling. I remain curious and open to emotions, my own and those of others. Is this really a large part of the job of an ethicist? Emphatically, yes.

The Phuket region
Phuket is Thailand's largest island, covering an area of about 543 square kilometers about the same size as Singapore measuring 48km from north to south and 21km from west to east at its widest point. The island, which is connected to the mainland by the Sarasin Bridge, is also a province in its own right, and though it is the smallest province in Thailand, it is also the next wealthiest after Bangkok. The only urban area of any size is also called Phuket; recently granted city status, it is located in the southeast of the island. With its excellent beaches, wide range of accommodation and top-class restaurants, Phuket has become firmly established in the last couple of decades as one of Asia's premier beach resorts.
Located in the tropical paradise of Phuket's Western coast on a secluded cove, Baan Karonview Phuket Resort is on the emerald Andaman Sea.
Karon Beach is wonderful 2km white sandy beach with the waves of the Andaman Sea gently lapping its shores. It is backed by a lively village which, although caters to people who like nightlife, never reaches the excesses of Patong's Bangla.
The Beach and village are a 5 minute walk from the apartment.

Spicy Roasted Red Pepper and Tomato Soup
If you like it, save it!
Save and organize all of the stuff you love in one place.Got it!
If you like something…
Click the heart, it's called favoriting. Favorite the stuff you like.Got it!
Author Notes: I created this soup to be a more interesting version of classic, comforting tomato soup. I upped the flavor with some roasted red pepper and roasted garlic, and added some heat with a pinch of spicy chili flakes. The result was not only flavorful and comforting, but its beautiful red-orange hue was nice change from all the wintery brown food I've been eating lately! - Culinary Colleen
Serves 2
- 2 large red bell peppers
- 3 cloves of garlic
- .5 small onion, roughly chopped
- 6 canned plum tomatoes
- 1.5 cups vegetable stock (preferably homemade)
- 1 handful fresh basil leaves
- .5 teaspoons sherry vinegar
- Preheat oven to 450°F. Wrap the garlic along with a half tablespoon of the olive oil and a pinch of salt in foil. Drizzle a tablespoon of the olive oil over the peppers.
- Place both the peppers and garlic in the oven and cook until the peppers are soft and charred in some spots, about 35-40 minutes.
- Take any of the peel off of the peppers that comes off easily, but don't worry about it being perfect because they're just going to get pureed later.
- Heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat in a dutch oven. Add the onion, chili flakes, and some salt. Cook until the onions are soft, and then add the garlic, peppers, tomatoes, and vegetable stock. Cook for 20 minutes for the flavors to come together, breaking apart the tomatoes as they cook. Add most of the basil (reserving some for garnish) and puree the soup. Add the sherry vinegar and additional salt to taste.
- Serve with a drizzle of olive oil, fresh ground black pepper, and the remaining basil.

I just made a triple batch today and it came out fantastic. I used about 80% stock as suggested but used all of the natural juices from peppers and some of the tomato juice from the cans as a replacement. I added about a tablespoon of chile flakes, which really balanced out the flavors perfectly. This soup took some time to make, but was well worth it. Thanks Colleen.

Re: Apple TV HD Rental Streaming Problem in response to vazandrew
An awful lot of us are having problems - you'd hardly expect every person with a problem to find their way on to this thread (there are bunches of other threads about similar problems). I think most people just give up.
We bought the box to use to watch HD television. It advertized itself as hosting Netflix, vimeo, youtube and Itunes. It only does the first three in a way that's compatible with spontaneous television watching.
We haven't had it long, I have absolutely no interest in attempting to set it up differently or better. Some day we'll get a faster connection and a way to hard wire ATV3 to our ethernet port (it's in a different part of the house - we have other things to do besides have people come over and install new outlets right now). I just wanted it to work (and it does, for Netflix, which is nice). It also works for streaming vimeo atmospheric videos, like having a fish tank or a set of nature documentaries in a doctor's office (I'm trying to make myself feel better about the $99).
Anyway, to anyone who happened on this thread before they purchased the thing, just view it as an accessory to your iPad. My old iPad didn't have enough storage to download HD films and keep them around for any length of time. So, I bought a new one with lots more storage (I suppose that's the point?) And, we do plan ahead for watching. Sort of like the old days of going to the video store (or having Netflix delivered). Instead of making a spontaneous choice of movie (which I would never do with this device, not from iTunes anyway), we decide what we're going to watch and I set up the downloads to my iPad while I'm asleep or at work on the T1 connection (works better just to do it while sleeping). So that's my work around. Low tech.
I view my iPad now as a remote control for the ATV3, to play iTunes. The iPad downloads faster anyway and sometimes makes a show (especially an hour television show) available in about 30 minutes. I was glad to read this thread and realize that people with much higher download speeds than ours are having the same (or worse) problems. Maybe throttling. Peak usage times are much worse (Friday nights, all day Saturday and Sunday). So I try to plan for that.
It was also good to know that every time we do anything different with the ATV3, we have to start our streaming over again. That explains a lot. So we let it go when it is taking time to download (and occasionally, it's a bit slow even on Netflix - that's probably our ISP), and revert to watching satellite TV or iPad youtubes while it works away. In future, I think we'll just use it for youtube, Netflix and iPad airplay showings. I sure hope Netflix sees the opportunity for themselves, though and makes more recent offerings available.
I am guessing that of the top movies shown on the ATV3 on start up, most will never be watched - but many will be rented and then abandoned in frustration. I'm glad I read the thread before deciding to try and watch something as low on my priority list as Hugo or that new Brad Pitt movie. The idea we had was that we might occasionally just stream some random thing we wouldn't otherwise have rented while doing household chores or working online - but that won't be happening. There's nothing wrong with being more deliberate in one's entertainment choices, really, but I do wonder how much money Apple makes from the movie distributors for simply advertising those films (probably a lot). Then, they make more money from people who are either willing to wait for hours to view a film or who give up on the project altogether.
I wonder if the film distributing companies realize that in many cases, this leaves a bitter experience and no desire to try and actually watch the movie? Perhaps the movies all suck and they don't care, either. It would be an excellent way of making quite a bit of money off of movies that suck (and the fact that movies keep stuttering and losing sound and then taking 30-40 more minutes to start again right at a central plot point is supposed to drive us back into the theaters? That's not going to work with us...)

Re: Apple TV HD Rental Streaming Problem in response to TWalkerPolk
Absolute rubbish. We all may as well download movies illegally if apple are not going to fix these problems. Apple are happy to take our money without providing anything but frustration in return.

Re: Apple TV HD Rental Streaming Problem in response to SummerHologram
Well do you know what, I have probably the worst Internet connection in the world, 1MB download. However, I have downloaded 3 films (a trilogy) and whilst they take a week to download, the issue is getting them to play when they have finally downloaded. I have watched the first 2, but the third is a real problem. It tells me that the the film is downloaded but wants a further 5 hours to load!!!! Every time I go back to it I get various messages of 4-5 hours loading time. It's just crazy. I have noticed that as soon as I purchase the money goes from my account, regardless of whether I can watch it or not.
Apple this is rubbish and you are taking money for the purchase of a device that doesn't work and then for films that are not provided. Sort yourselves out please!
Alley_Cat Apr 12, 2012 11:59 AM
Re: Apple TV HD Rental Streaming Problem in response to Stevebrady
Steve - may I suggest you try renting in iTunes as the download is protected there until the rental/view period expires and can be watched on AppleTV once fully downloaded under Computers>iTunes library name>Rentals which appears when there's a downloaded rental in iTunes.
The problem with renting in iTunes is that many HD titles are not available there (at least in UK), but if you're on 1Mbps even SD will probably take half a day to download - I used to rent in the morning or overnight to watch teh following evening on AppleTV1 when I was on 1 Mbps.
Stevebrady Apr 12, 2012 12:17 PM
Re: Apple TV HD Rental Streaming Problem in response to Alley_Cat
Thanks AC, I'll try that but I'm confused. The film has downloaded and tells me how long it is available to view for. If I download via iTunes, why is that different?
Alley_Cat Apr 12, 2012 12:36 PM
Re: Apple TV HD Rental Streaming Problem in response to Stevebrady
Based on your internet speed AppleTV downloads enough of a movie so that the rest can download as you watch - it calculates how much it needs to get before starting to play.
The trouble is AppleTV doesn't actually store the downloaded film or portion downloaded until it expires - instead it caches or buffers it in solid state memory. If you use AppleTV for other things, even just watching a trailer, it can causes the portion downloaded to be erased and for the process to start again from scratch.
While it might take a little longer for the item to fully download to iTunes than to be ready to play on AppleTV doing nothing else, once it's in iTunes it's there for the duration until it expires - this will allow you to use AppleTV for other things plus you can rewatch the movie within the view period without it having do redownload from the internet to AppleTV.
It should give a far more reliable experience once it's ready in iTunes.
Apple's rentals are a fixed size in GB for a given film irresepctive of your connection speed whereas Neflix for example drops quality on slower connections.

Re: Apple TV HD Rental Streaming Problem in response to Alley_Cat
Make sense AC... Pity Apple hasn't bothered to respond to 48 pages of complaints with that same understandable info. They could benefit by offerring a more costly ATV that included a hard drive for caching/storage (like a DVR operates) and have two models for their customers to choose from and COMMUNICATING why you would choose one over the other.

Yes thta would be ideal wouldn't it - the original silver AppleTV had either 40GB or 160GB drives for just that purpose so you could use one like a video iPod without internet or network connection once synced up with media.
The more feedback the better to:

I noticed the problem right after upgrading to the latest software for the ATV 2. I'm using the Xbox 360 to stream movies now, not Apple.

Re: Apple TV HD Rental Streaming Problem in response to Mark Wilder1
When the AppleTV2 was announced, I purchased a spare AppleTV1 because of the Hard Disk space. Download, sync to AppleTV1 and you are set. Streaming from the cloud and Home Sharing are not ready for prime time.
I have a 50MB internet package and it takes forever to stream movies from the cloud. It would be really nice to have the next generation of AppleTV to have a Hard Drive.

It's a movie called "god bless America" it's apparently available on iTunes before it is officially released so it was 10$ it looks really good and was made by bobcat goldthwait who I really like. He has another good movie called worlds greatest dad. It is on Netflix. Good flick.

Until now I haven´t receive a satsfactory answer from apple.
Can anybody help me?
Thank you
By the way, I live in Chile, Southamerica.

Re: Apple TV HD Rental Streaming Problem in response to TWalkerPolk
What a piece of junk.
I've been purchasing rentals on the ipad no issues.
Brought the new generation Apple TV, very first rental gave 170 min buffer to load.
Changed it to 720p, now 80 mins. (have a 4mb connection) I let it buffer all the way to Press Play now or Menu to watch later. I press menu and start the movie the next day. It plays all the way to the buffer then stops. I can't get to load. After trying many things I reset the Apple TV and it starts reloading the move from the start. I only have a 40gig plan so I can't keep doing that.
What a piece of junk. I've "reported a fault" and asked for my money back.
What I simply can't believe is issue is years old. Connection speed shouldn't matter; they need to fix their rental movies caching problems. A poorly implemented solution if there ever was one. YouTube / Netflix on my Sony BlueRay player seems to handle 1080p buffering and resuming no issues.

Flowing Material
November 6, 2012
March 21, 2012 - PASADENA, Calif. -- This image, from NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows rock material that has moved across the surface and flowed into a low area in the ridged floor of the Rheasilvia basin on Vesta. The image shows how impacts and their aftermath constantly reshape the landscape. This image was acquired by Dawn's framing camera on Dec. 18, 2011, during its low-altitude mapping orbit (on average 130 miles or 210 kilometers above the surface). Rheasilvia is at the south pole of Vesta. This image is just to the southeast of the crater seen in Figs. 3 and 4. It covers an area of 284 square miles (735 square kilometers). The Dawn mission to the asteroids Vesta and Ceres is managed by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, a division of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena, for NASA's Science Mission Directorate, Washington. Dawn is a project of the directorate's Discovery Program, managed by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center in Huntsville, Ala. UCLA is responsible for overall Dawn mission science. The Dawn Framing Cameras have been developed and built under the leadership of the Max Planck Institute for Solar System Research, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany, with significant contributions by DLR German Aerospace Center, Institute of Planetary Research, Berlin, and in coordination with the Institute of Computer and Communication Network Engineering, Braunschweig.

The Paris Declaration Evaluation Phase 2 Team named Recipient of the American Evaluation Association 2012 Outstanding Evaluation Award
This evaluation focused on implementation of Paris Declaration Principles rather than a specific project or program. The evaluation of The Paris Declaration initially documented how its many principles were being implemented and operationalised; then later assessed results on the ground, in policy development and more broadly. A final report summarised, analysed, and synthesized more than 50 studies in 21 partner countries and across 18 donor agencies, as well as several studies on special themes. "The evaluation process was participatory and consultative among partner countries, donors, and international organization participants," notes Michael Quinn Patton, a pioneer in the field of evaluation who nominated the work for the Outstanding Evaluation Award.
