More to do in Cape Town – here are some other activities and places to visit near Cape Town.
Robben Island
Visit the notorious island where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated for many years. This island has also been a military base and a leper colony. These tours are weather-permitting as the ferry ride can be quite rough in bad weather.
Helicopter rides over Cape Town
Choose from a short hop over the city and surrounds, or a longer flight all the way down to the Cape of Good Hope. These exhilarating rides will give you views over the peninsula that many people don't get to see.
Cape Point and False Bay Boat Rides
This boat trip is especially rewarding during the months when the bay is visited by whales, but even without whales it's a great experience to see Seal Island with thousands of seals and to see the Cape of Good Hope from a vantage point seldom seen by most visitors.
Swartland Horse Trails
Slightly off the beaten track is the stunning Swartland region with the pretty small town of Tulbagh. Here you can do horse trails, sample excellent wines in this Shiraz region, and just take in the beauty of the surroundings. It's advisable to spend at least 2 days here in order to enjoy the horse trails.
Canopy tours
The newest addition to the Cape's adventure activities is the tree canopy tour in the Elgin region. 13 elevated platforms, a suspension bridge 50 meters over beautiful waterfalls, and 11 exciting slides. This is a full day tour, one hour from Cape Town.
Township – Langa Experience
A day in Langa learning about the history of South Africa's notorious townships. How and why do they exist, and how do the people live there now? Walk safely through the streets, visit a cultural community centre, and have lunch in a restaurant with live music.
Uthando is a non-profit organisation supporting local communities with special projects. Your guide will select several projects to visit and interact with the people. These are scheduled half-day tours and are best suited for you if you understand English.
South Africa's most beautiful indigenous botanical gardens nestled against the Constantiaberg Mountains. Stroll through beautifully laid-out gardens and a conservatory with some of the world's most unusual plants, and walk along the Boomslang Tree Canopy Walk.
Constantia winelands
The Constantia winelands are within minutes of the city and are the oldest in the country. Visit Groot Constantia with its magnificent example of Cape Dutch architecture manor house, sample excellent wines and food in the valley, as well as the most southerly wine estate with its magnificent views.
Cape Malay cookery classes
Learn about the food of the Cape and how to make some of it yourself. This tour needs to be booked in advance and is subject to availability.
There are safaris to a game reserve within 2 hours of Cape Town which can be done in one day or overnight. You can also visit a crocodile farm, a lion park, a monkey park, or even an ostrich breeding farm near the Cape of Good Hope.
Cape Agulhas
The southern-most tip of Africa is several hours away from Cape Town and somewhat isolated but it is in the beautiful region of Overberg and for those who want to say they have been there, it's worth a trip. We prefer to do this as part of a tour of the entire region but under certain circumstances we can make a day trip of it.
Specialised shopping
Ask your guide to show you the best shopping in town. From African curios to diamonds and the rare but beautiful Tanzanite, we will gladly assist with advice on your shopping requirements.

All children are valuable; none is expendable. But the fact is U.S. high schools lose more than one third of their students before graduation, and the cumulative impact of this attrition affects every person. However, schools can increase their "holding power" by adopting and implementing programs that recognize students' inherent value, their contributions, and their potential significance to their communities and society, as a whole.
This podcast excerpted from a recent teleseminar presents a new framework for transforming schools. Learn how communities and schools can work together, which school factors are key to student success based on research and IDRA experience, and an example of the power of shifting from a deficit view to one of valuing youth.
Dr. María "Cuca" Robledo Montecel, executive director of the Intercultural Development Research Association led this teleseminar hosted by the National Dropout Prevention Center for Students with Disabilities. A transcript of the full teleseminar (with the Q&A portion not available in the podcasts) is also available in pdf format. Also available are the teleseminar materials in pdf format.
Part 1: Overview of IDRA Research on Dropouts and School Holding Power
IDRA led the first comprehensive statewide study of school dropouts in Texas over two decades ago. Hear an overview of key findings from this and other critical studies and how they have influenced practice today.

I enjoyed this
An uplifting story. Admirable!
What IS the turkey surprise…?
PS: Was this inspired by SCP-087?!
Having been there, I can say quite certainly say that this was not, as it was inspired by Roget asking for a title to get him started on his next entry, and me suggesting "A Brief History of Stairs".
It seems a bit odd to suspect that this article was inspired by a popular SCP that has absolutely no relation to it except for the fact that both involve stairs. Hardly criminal, of course, but… well, odd.
It is far-fetched and I would never have though about SCP-087 if not for the challenge someone proposed about writing a Tale that would instill the opposite emotions as the SCP it's based on. This one somewhat fits the bill if you imagine that's how staircases were cursed and banished, and now haunt other worlds in eternal torment.
I really like this. It reminded me of the tale of how stairs were invented in the TF2 universe.
of course rocket jumping is the superior method of travel compared to "elevated platforms

The ride continues from Thessaloniki towards Albania today. Unfortunately Perra is injured and on his way north on tarmac, so I will be riding solo from here on.

The gist of it is that we bloggers sign up for OWOH, visit each others blogs, and--by leaving comments after we've "looked around a bit"--become eligible for each others' giveaway. I like that she's made it simple and tried to cut out the push-your-own-agenda conditions that so many people apply to their giveaways--none of the "follow me" or "tweet my blog" stuff. You leave a comment/blog/contact info, I add you to the drawing. Simple as that.
I've never done a giveaway, and it seems I'm about to start with a whopper! Also it seems I'm going to be in on the last year of this one...and that's both sad and auspicious as a beginning/ending. Nevertheless, I'm working on the piece I want to have as my Door Prize...and since who knows who might end up with it, the only thing I know to do is make something I'd enjoy winning. Yeah, I know...like Dennis the Menace giving Mom a toy firetruck for her birthday, but what else do I give an unknown recipient?
I'm stoked about meeting all those new friends and artists. And, yes, I'm stoked about my own door prize surprise.
If you blog (actively and regularly) and want to join in the fun, click on the picture in the sidebar--The Whimsical Bohemian will explain all the whys & wherefores to it. It's not all that hard to understand, but I let the husband have the brain cell for the entire month of December.
One World, One Heart. What could be better than that?

Beyond belief: The Chiarman of Australian Foreign Investment Review Board joins 'Asian Buyout Team' – yet sees no conflict of interest. The Chairman apparently believes that 'the hooker in a suit' was simply a line in a movie. No wonder the rage is burning right across the nation
ABC News: 7/9/2016 Brian Wilson FIRB chairman
Bear in mind, Brian Wilson has been chairman of the FIRB since April 2012.
Scott Morrison, the Treasurer, has rejected concerns about the potential for perceived conflicts of interest after the chairman of the Foreign Investment Review Board was appointed to a key advisory position with a global private equity group.
A spokesman for Mr Morrison said FIRB chairman Brian Wilson would step aside from deliberations that involve his new role as a senior advisor with The Carlyle Group's Asia buyout team. "He has agreed to remove himself from consideration of any cases that Carlyle is involved in," the spokesman said.
"FIRB needs to attract people with deep knowledge and experience in foreign investment. It has strong procedures in place to manage conflicts." Carlyle issued a statement containing comments from Mr Wilson who said he was "delighted" to partner with the private equity group.
"I look forward to working closely with the team to assist as it pursues new investment opportunities across various sectors in Australasia and to create value for Carlyle's portfolio companies," he said.
In his role as FIRB chairman, Mr Wilson is in charge of the organisation that recommends whether the Treasurer should approve or reject large foreign investments in Australian businesses.

5 Big Dating Turn-Offs
Dating is one of those activities where people either jump in with both feet eager to seek new relationships or they begin to withdraw due to frustration with their experiences. Today, with the growth of the web over the past two decades, the dating scene has been both simplified and complicated simultaneously.
Online dating sites have provided people with the opportunity to dive into a much broader dating pool, however, this doesn't mean it doesn't come without its own benefits and drawbacks. Same thing with reconnecting on social networks, such as Facebook.
Despite the growing popularity of online dating, traditional ways to find a date still has its place, as people still often meet in ordinary places, the workplace or are set up through friends, even in today's tech-centric society.
Once the plunge to ask or accept a date is taken, the risks are very similar no matter how the date was made. Perhaps the biggest one being the realization your date is a total turn-off. Or, it could be your habits are a turn-off to your date.
What are some big dating turn-offs for people? (list is in no particular order)
1. Fakers and Liars
Probably one of the most annoying, and disappointing, realizations is learning a date either has misrepresented him or herself and/or flat-out lied. Once that first lie is caught, depending on the type of lie told, there is sometimes no going back. First impressions go a long way and may turn a person off, right from the get-go.
Repeated liars are even more of a turn-off because there is no way to build a relationship if trust is absent right from the beginning. Chances are that individual will be shown the door, as few people want to waste their time wondering if the person will ever be honest.
2. Disrespectful
A date who is disrespectful to the person they are going out with, or to others encountered during the course of the date, is highly unlikely to bode well in a budding relationship. An individual who is rude, or makes uncalled for comments to his or her date, is likely not going to see a second date. Additionally, a person who insults wait staff or other people encountered during the date, demonstrates a lack of respect for others. This person will likely be seen as a turn-off.
3. Smoking
According to a 2012 study, smoking is a turn-off. Reported by BBC News, the U.K. Department of Health study said 75 percent of individuals aged 18-24 said they would not kiss someone who had just finished smoking. The survey also suggested people "would think twice" before beginning a serious relationship with a person who smoked. Reportedly, dating websites, such as eHarmony, Match.com and mysinglefriend, also suggest many members are not looking for a date who smokes.
4. Excessive Partying
While partying may not be considered a bad thing in itself, over time excessive partying can wear a person down. This is usually because the relationship is not growing as all the energy is spent on going out and partying. While this may work for some couples, unless both prefer this lifestyle, the other may be turned off or just simply become exhausted.
5. Cheating
A person who spends the time on a date flirting with others, rather than the person he or she is out with, is likely not going to give a positive impression. Nor will listening to tales how he or she landed back in the dating pool, which include reasons such as cheating on a former partner. While some may be more understanding with a one-time cheat, habitual cheaters (and ones who brag about it!) often send people running in the opposite direction.
Individual tastes when it comes to romance vary and, while any number of habits or lifestyle choices can be a dating turn-off, depending on the people involved, anything can be annoying. From how a person brushes their teeth to the style of clothes they wear. Even a date's choice of pets may bug some people.
What do you see as big dating turn-offs and/or peeves?

Lindsay + Stephen
Ceremony & Reception: Benachi House
Wedding Planner: Rhoda Yawn
Florist: Poppy & Mint
Cake: Gambino's
Brass band: Eric Ensminger Brass Band
Wedding dress: Luxe
Reception dress: Claire Pettibone
Second photographer: Catherine Masters
How did you two meet? Stephen and I met in 2010, when I began working at the Apple Store in Atlanta. There was a lot of flirtation throughout the year, until in 2011 we decided to hang out one day after a bad snow storm in Atlanta had cleared a little. We spent the day chatting and watching movies while keeping warm indoors. From that day forward we have been inseparable, and the feeling of love came to us quickly.
How did Stephen propose? Fall is my absolute favorite time of the year. I love the weather and the energy of the season, and the beauty of beautiful colors of falling leaves. Thanksgiving is very dear and important to me with the gathering of friends and family and the opportunity to give thanks for the abundance of blessings that we have been given.
Our Thanksgiving of 2013 was wonderful. Stephen's mom, Melanie, and his stepdad, Eric, traveled from NOLA to our house in Atlanta to help us prepare a delicious Thanksgiving dinner that we shared with my parents, complete with New Orleans touches like turducken and oyster dressing!
The day after our wonderful dinner, Stephen surprised me in the early morning at bedside with my gorgeous purple sapphire and white gold ring. He knew that I wanted a ring that was unique to me and my tastes, and the gorgeous stone and setting were absolutely perfect. From one knee Stephen told me of how much he loved our little family (with our sweet dog Louis at our side) and that he wanted to make it real.
The love and togetherness of the Thanksgiving season will be a continuing reminder of the warmth of Stephen's sweet and perfect request for my hand in marriage.
Why New Orleans? Stephen was born and raised in Uptown New Orleans. Only a few months after we started dating, Stephen wanted to share with me the energy and beauty of his home city. Through every trip since, Stephen has made a point of sharing more and more of this special city with me, and I have come to think of it as my own second home.
Most memorable moments from the wedding day: For myself, the anticipation of getting ready made time seem to stand still in some moments. I loved spending time with my bridesmaids and my adorable flower girls before the ceremony began. It was so lovely having such a generous space for the bridal suite. I think back fondly on every moment of preparation.
And of course what sticks out most in my mind is the walk down the aisle. Seeing Stephen looking so happy and seeing his emotion made me heart so warm.
The overwhelming positivity from all of our guests was so amazing! We are so humbled by the outpouring of love and support from all of our guests (including yourself!)
Stephen enjoyed being in the room with his guys before the ceremony began. He loved being able to share such a special time with his fantastic groomsmen (and the two wives that were so amazing and helpful and loving.) He was able to greet some of our most special guests, and spend some really good bonding time with his best friends.
He also reflects back fondly on the anticipation of standing next to our officiant (and Stephen's very good friend) waiting for me to walk down the aisle. He says he kept reminding himself to breathe. And as soon as he saw me, that he was on the verge of tears. He heard the guests react with excited chatter as he pulled his grandfather's handkerchief out of his pocket before I even made it all the way down the aisle.
Lindsay & Stephen's guests traveled near and far for their special day!
Many of Stephen's family were local to New Orleans, but his sister (my youngest bridesmaid Emma), his father, and sister Liz Faul and her family traveled from Lafayette, LA.
Many of my family members traveled from different parts of Georgia, Tennessee & Florida.
Stephen's best man Mike Silberberg traveled all the way from London!
Briana, my Maid of Honor traveled from Los Angeles and her parents traveled from Santa Monica.
Our Uncle Val and Aunt Renee traveled from Key Largo, Florida.
Our Aunt Heidi and Uncle Joel traveled from Minneapolis.
Brian Sullivan, Stephen's uncle, traveled from New Port, Rhode Island

Middle School teacher Halyna Fried was presented with the Howard C. "Dutch" Eyth Endowed Teaching Chair at the all-school faculty and staff meeting on Thursday, February 2. In keeping with tradition, before announcing her name Headmaster Charlie Britton kept the audience in suspense as he described the seventh recipient of the award.
Britton began the presentation saying, "Tonight's chair recipient is a true role model of energy, organization, hard work, love of subject, and dedication to the craft of teaching. Just like Dutch himself, this honoree has served McDonogh as both a math teacher and a coach."
Britton shared that Fried's dedication to her students, her department, her division, and her school was evident in comments from friends, parents, and colleagues alike. He said, "A friend describes her as an amazing person whose dedication to students and players is unwavering. She holds herself to extremely high standards and she expects the same of every young person she teaches or coaches. She wants the best from them every day; not only in the classroom or on the field, but, most importantly, in who they are as people."
He told the audience of Fried's peers that a parent described how willing and even eager she is to provide continuing support to any student who needs it. And he shared that her colleagues say her singular focus is on how she can help her students learn and grow. Britton explained, "This includes giving her own personal best every day and reaching out to other teachers as well."
Fried began her career at McDonogh in 2001 as a Middle School science teacher. Britton noted that she earned the distinction of becoming a Nationally Board Certified Teacher. He continued, "While this credential is impressive, her true talent reveals itself in her day-to-day work with students in the classroom and players on the athletic field. Her students embrace her enthusiasm for math and benefit from her steady support."
After having served as McDonogh's Varsity Field Hockey Coach for more than 14 years, Fried currently coaches the sport on the Middle School level. In addition to teaching and coaching, Fried has also taken on many leadership roles including Seventh Grade Dean and the Middle School Character and Service Coordinator. Currently she serves as Middle School Math Department Chair.
Halyna Fried will hold the Howard C. "Dutch" Eyth Teaching Chair for three years. Past recipients of the honor include: Des Corcoran, Dave Harley, Jeff Sanborn, Andy Motsko, Nancy Fleury, and Olivia Grant.

Provided by Kaiser Health News:
With less than a week left until insurers stop accepting new customers through the health care marketplaces, a poll released Wednesday finds that half of the people still without health coverage intend to remain uninsured.
Five million people have signed up for insurance since the marketplaces created by the federal health law opened in October. The last day to sign up without facing a financial penalty is March 31. The Congressional Budget Office estimates by the year's end, 6 million people will have obtained insurance on the marketplaces.
The Kaiser Family Foundation's latest poll, conducted in mid-March, found that 50 percent of adults under age 65 who still lack coverage plan to remain without insurance, while 40 percent aim to sign up by the deadline at month's end. (KHN is an editorially independent program of the foundation.) The other 10 percent said they did not know what they would do or refused to talk about it.
Of the uninsured, two out of three said they have not tried to get coverage yet. The rest said they attempted to get it through an online marketplace such as healthcare.gov, the state-federal Medicaid program, their employer or a private insurance company.
Only four in 10 of the uninsured knew the deadline to sign up for coverage, the poll found. A third of the uninsured didn't know they are subject to a fine if they don't obtain coverage, absent a few permitted exclusions such as financial hardship. The poll found that direct outreach efforts have had limited success: only 11 percent of uninsured people said they had been contacted about the health law by phone call, email, text message or a home visit.
According to the poll, the majority of the public still holds unfavorable views of the health care law, although that gap has narrowed from the beginning of the year. Forty-six percent of people said they disliked the law, while 38 percent approved. That gap of eight percentage points is half of what it was in November and January. The views of people without insurance also have improved since earlier this year and now essentially mirror the overall public's opinion. The pollsters noted that it is tricky to compare the views of the uninsured over time since the composition of that group changes as more people get coverage.
A majority of the public, 53 percent, is tired of hearing fights over the health law. Forty-two percent believe the debate should continue.
The poll was conducted among 1,504 adults between March 11 through March 17. The margin of error for questions of the overall public is +/- 3 percentage points. The margin of error for questions of just the uninsured population is +/- 9 percentage points.

New Topshop Campaign: Meadham Kirchoff
You may have fashion fatigue, or be exhausted from the onslaught of cool collaborations, but here comes yet another, fast and furious with a launch slated for later this week. British designer Meadham Kirchoff has designed a quirky capsule collection for Topshop, marrying his eccentricities with street style fare that Topshop is now known for. It's a bit out there, but I think just the right person could take at least one of these pieces and integrate it into their look.

Although POS understands that protracted delays in negotiating a Section 106 (S106) are frustrating and regrettable, POS is clear that the consideration of a planning application cannot be separated from the consideration of the acceptability of the terms of the S106 agreement. The LPA must be satisfied with the S106 agreement before it can grant planning permission and should not be forced to issue a planning permission where the S106 attached to it is not acceptable to the LPA. POS would warn strongly against a situation where a S106 agreement is either mediated or arbitrated through the provisions envisaged in this consultation and then the LPA is forced to grant a planning permission that it is not happy with. Parliament provides an appeal process to deal with situations where the applicant is either frustrated that he/she has not had a determination from or he/ she does not like the determination of the LPA and that is the correct route for such matters to be dealt with.
POS fundamental objections/principles are itemised in the full response.

Most often people will use an old brush, incredible nib or Masquepen but depending on the flow, coverage and detail you want. There are a couple of other things you can try.
Lets say you want a nice continual flow of fluid to leave detail areas white. Consider an embossing tool (used for paper, foil, clay etc) or a calligraphy pen, both feel good in your hand and hold a nice amount of fluid. The flow of masking or drawing gum can also depend on the brand you use. Personally I like Pebeo drawing gum because it's thinner and applies easily.
Examples from students
When signing paintings with a dark backgrounds Karen Richards like to use a Calligraphy pen to her apply masking. Once the composition is created she applies a light wash, lets it dry then signs her name. She will then continue with the painting then when done remove the masking to reveal her signature.

To get basically the same results Linda likes to use an embossing tool. Used mainly for paper, foil, clay, leather etc the embossing tool is about 5 1/2 inches long with a wooden handle, stainless steel tips with a small round balls on either end. It holds a nice amount of fluid and flows well.

This post describes a quick solution to launching a new Visual Studio instance for debugging the code. Where I've found this exceptionally useful, has been in debugging code-first migration's (one of the ways for database initialiation in .NET) Seed-method. It is by default undebuggable, as when you are running Update-Database you can't really use a -debug switch or anything, and there's really no way to launch the debugger. Hence the best you can do is using -verbose to get more information.
However, if you actually want to see what is happening in the code, here's the solution.

SMS Controlled Interactive Pumpkin
For my midterm project I chose to create an SMS controlled interactive pumpkin that lights up and changes colors according to the text it receives. I'm a huge fan of Halloween and always wanted to create interactive halloween props. The user will send texts such as "wicked" and "ghost" that will turn the lights inside the pumpkin to green and blue respectively. Through this interaction, I want to convey the message that it's interesting how we are all connecting specific words to specific colors. It was really a very big challenge because I had never worked with the GSM shield before and setting it up and figuring out its functions took me a really long time.
After hours of trying to figure out the GSM shield, I connected an LED and tried to make it blink via text message. I was immediately relieved when I saw the LED blinking 🙂
However, the next day, I tried making and RGB LED blink and it was not working. My GSM shield stopped responding as well and it seemed like it needed external power. After hours of trying again with simple LEDs that were not lighting up either, I realized that the reason they were not working was that all the pins were being "used" by the GSM Shield. The only pin that finally worked was pin 7!
Panicked that I would fail my midterm, I tried using the LED RGB ring that works by only connecting it to one pin. I had to combine the example code from GSM Library and the Neopixel Library for the code to work. After hours and hours of changing the code and using some help from the residents, my LED ring was finally working. Moreover, I created some if statements for the pumpkin to light up and change color according to Halloween related words like chaos, wicked, ghost, scared and pumpkin.
RGB LED ring lighting via SMS from ALEXIA KYRIAKOPOULOU on Vimeo.
What I learned from this whole process is that you need to really do everything one step at a time and sometimes you have to be okay with just keeping things simple, especially in the beginning. Adding too many features, shields, lights etc. might just not work together when you are dealing with hardware. If you get stuck you need to go back and test things. Understanding what the problem is and where your code or the actual hardware gets stuck is the most important thing and needs a lot of patience!!

What Is a Veterinary Ophthalmologist?
A board-certified veterinary ophthalmologist is a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists (ACVO). There are just over 400 members of the ACVO. In order to become a Diplomate of the ACVO, one must complete a one year internship and a three year ophthalmology residency after graduation from veterinary school. These residencies are highly competitive and rigorous. After successful completion of the residency, the veterinarian may be eligible to sit for the board examinations. If the candidate passes all four parts of the examination, he or she becomes a Diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Ophthalmologists.

I have the same exact problem on my system. I have been searching high and low, but cannot find a connection as to what may be wrong. All I can think of is that I have something installed that is causing the problem, but I cannot imagine what. I tried asking on ExpertsExchange on Sunday night, but of course that was a waste of time since that site is horrible. If I find anything I will let you know.

Windows 7 Pro x64
Previous Versions are now working!
I'm happy to report that some digging around on the 'net has uncovered a solution (or solutions--I'm not sure which) that have enabled Restore Previous Versions (RPV) on my system. I'm going to try to lay this out for everyone, but realize that since I tried a number of suggested solutions, my summary may not represent the shortest path.
First, my relevant system specs (in case yours are different and this doesn't work, we may have a clue why):
Here's my best guess at the simplest troubleshooting and resolution process:
Why shares were turned off on my system to begin with is beyond me. Perhaps some other third-party utility that I've installed turned them off (I'll be looking for a consequential malfunction) or else a decision I made during the initial Windows 7 install is at fault (I did my own clean install on a bare drive). I'm sure that malware wasn't at the root of the missing shares on my system, as the significant behavior in that instance would be that shares wouldn't automatically turn on on system start-up, even after making the above changes (and that, as a former IT manager, I practice the system and network security philosophy of "it's not paranoia if they really are out to get you").
|My System Specs
|22 Jun 2011
Thanks. I forgot to update this because I lost some of my bookmarks.
Even though I have Windows backup running, I still can't get previous versions to work, so I will work through your suggestions.
Thanks for taking the time to write everything out so clearly.
I'll post back this time with how I get on.
|My System Specs
|30 Sep 2011
Finally got round to looking into this after a new install.
I followed your steps and have got it working! Thanks so much for taking the time to write this out. And sorry it took so long to reply properly.
Control Panel > Network and Internet > Network and Sharing Center > Change Advanced sharing settings
I will add that after getting restore previous files to work, I turned "HomeGroup connections" back to "Allow Windows to manage..." and restore previous files still worked OK.
After completing the next action in the registry, I now also see:
Step 7 wasn't necessary for me.
Note: in order to test, search for "Create a restore point" in the start menu search. Then edit a Word doc and save, then test the feature again.
Once again, thank you sir for the help.
@Admins/Brink: Does any of the above need adding to the tutorial: "How to Restore Files and Folders in Windows 7 with Previous Versions"?
I've had 3 recent Win7 installations using the same disc and this feature did not work once.

Windows 7 64 bit
A lot of good stuff on this thread - hopefully the answer lies therein. However, being of a lazy type, I am going to try removing and reinstating previous versions on each drive. I do have a BUNCH of drives and sometimes find the share disappears for no apparent reason also, so there may be something to the posts, but I'm hoping for an easy fix. Having just glanced at the contents of this thread, I'm not sure if it was stated that anyone tried removing and reinstalling system protection....
|My System Specs
|09 Mar 2015
Bumping this old thread because after lots of searching the 'net, as usual it was SevenForums to the rescue! But for me, the solution was absolutely this easy, as described under Resolution here:
1. Open a command prompt, type net share, and observe you don't have ADMIN$ or C$ or any other of your hard drives shown there (this was indeed what I saw) which is your problem
2. Go into regedit and find you have zeros in the values below, change them both to 1 and reboot. Try net share again and see the missing values!
This worked straight-off for me, I can see all my "Previous versions" again, though it takes a nervous while to search all my Restore Points:
First backup your registry. Then click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then press ENTER.

Thanks for posting.

Gateway SX2850-33The latest in Gateway's line of versatile slim towers, the SX2850-33 stays current with a fast Intel Core i3 CPU, and more importantly adds Wi-Fi to improve its suitability as a living-room desktop. It might cost more than a Nettop or a dedicated video-streaming...
-Hi, I'm Rich Brown, Senior Editor for CNET.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Editor's Choice-winning Gateway SX2850-33. This is a $549 PC. It's a fixed configuration model and you'll find it at retail and online. It comes with a Core i3 CPU, wireless internet, as well as 640 gigabyte hard drive. Between all that and its HDMI output, this is actually a very versatile little computer. It works well as a straightforward budget PC, but because of its size, its HDMI out, and its Wi-Fi, it makes a great living room system as well. We tested it with the various online video streaming services with Hulu, Netflix, HD content from YouTube and Apple, it worked great. It was able to handle any video content we threw at it. We tried the game Portal from Valve's Steam game download service center. It actually worked pretty well. It wasn't totally perfect, so, for more advanced games, it might have a little bit of a hard time. But you could still get basic game play out of the system, which is pretty impressive for a $550 system. Now, aside from those core features, this system is actually pretty spare. It does come with a DVD-burning drive. And then here, you get a media card reader. But on the back of the system, you'll see the inputs are kinda limited. So, we mentioned the Wi-Fi networking and here's the card right here. It's got an input if you wanna put an antenna on there. There's an HDMI port down here, and here's VGA output if you wanna output to the standard computer monitor. You've got a handful of USB ports as well as Ethernet; basic analog audio, and that's about it. There's no eSATA, there's no FireWire, and we've seen both of those on older SX models. You'll also notice there's not a lot of room to upgrade inside the case. You get a single free expansion slot and some PCI Express 16 slot that can actually take a graphics card. But because this is a slim tower case, it's very narrow. So, you're stuck with half-pint cards, which tend to be slower and lower-powered. You can see the memory slots here and you do get room to add a couple more. You can't really see the hard drive though. It's near underneath the DVD burner, and there is only room for one of them. So, unless you wanna go with some sort of external data solution, you're pretty much stuck with the 640 gig drive that comes with the system. If you look in Gateway's website, you'll see about 10 to 12 different versions of the SX line. We reviewed a few of those other models, but this actually the first we've seen with a Wi-Fi card, and that's actually kind of surprising considering how well the system seems to fit in the living room. So, between the Wi-Fi, the HDMI out, as well as the very fast CPU, this system is perfectly suited to go in your living room. It's also a pretty good budget PC as well. So, I'm Rich Brown, and this is the Editor's Choice-winning Gateway SX2850-33.

Charlottesville was an unmitigated shitshow. A woman was killed — whether her death was an accident or the result of an act of political terrorism is of little consequence for the public image of the Alt-Right. The legacy media is still largely in control of the narrative, and they are hardly interested in reporting objectively on so-called white supremacists.
The Charlottesville debacle will inevitably prove to be one of two things:
The event that spelled the end of the Alt-Right as we know it
Another hurdle that Spencer and his colleagues eventually clear, in spite of the ragtag group of low-class neo-Nazis that has attached itself to their movement
Neither of these are outside the realm of possibilities, and we certainly shouldn't underestimate the degree to which the political landscape in the U.S. and around the world has changed since Trump's election.
Regardless of the fate of the Alt-Right specifically, one fact remains: the wider Dissident Right is hopelessly and uniquely bad at PR. Hell, al-Qaeda has done a better job at gaining favour with the populations they operate amongst than nearly all U.S. and European nationalist movements since the Second World War.
So what can we — members of the wider Dissident Right — do differently?
1. Don't be idiots, and don't associate with idiots
This is less about political beliefs and more about strategic smarts.
Don't act like an idiot. Just because shitlib journalists are determined to label you as Nazis, doesn't mean you're under compulsion to prove them correct. Present yourself in a way that makes it possible for the public to sympathize with you. Wear your Trump hat and wave the American flag. If ever in doubt, just ask yourself this simple question: "What would a sane person do?" — and then do that. (Hint: a sane person would not chant "Jews will not replace us" and do the Roman salute on national television.)
While we're on the topic of lunatics and idiots, get rid of the WN 1.0 people. Figures like David Duke have nothing to contribute. They had their chance and they blew it, and now they are forcing the Alt-Right into making the same mistakes they did. Just throw them out.
2. Form real-life communities and forge friendships
The Internet, and particularly social media, can partly be credited with causing the rising popularity of right-wing radicalism. The Internet is a great platform for disseminating ideas and making new connections, but it is not a replacement for real-life community.
There are already a few of these forming, but how many of you can truthfully say you have made a concerted effort to meet fellow rightists in real life on a regular basis, and how many of you are forging deep friendships with people who share your ideas? I can't, and I do far more irl than most people in these circles.
3. Aspire to embody your ideals
Considering how popular the words "degenerate" and "degeneracy" are in far-right circles, it's astounding to me how many of the people I've seen at the aforementioned rallies are either fat, poorly dressed, covered in tattoos, or all of the above.
If you want to battle degeneracy, stop being a degenerate. If you want fellow "whites" to be proud of their race, make sure they can be proud of you first. If you're fat or out of shape, start working out (I'm fairly skinny, so this is something I need to work on). If wearing baggy chinos, sneakers, and an XXL white polo shirt is your idea of "dressing up", you need to grow up.
I will leave it up to you, dear reader, to decide which of these images make a more convincing case for "white pride".
4. Actually do something useful for once
The most effective way to gain popular support is to make yourself useful and do some good. Donate your time to worthwhile causes in your local area. Help the elderly with grocery shopping. Handout food and blankets to your town's homeless population. Help poor whites max out their welfare benefits (your country is hopelessly in debt anyway, whites might as well get something out of it). Or maybe start out small, by not trying to shut down the crowd funding campaign set-up for the benefit of the family of the woman who was killed by someone on your side of the aisle. Maybe try to help out the family by starting your own crowdfunding campaign instead, and show the world that Not all Dissident Righters Are Like That.
Not only are you building your own self-esteem by doing estimable things, you are making your community a better place for people to live in, and you are creating goodwill for whatever political cause you support. Moreover, should you ever want to run for a local political office, you've already got grassroots support.
In other words: If you don't want people to think you're mentally ill, don't act like someone who's mentally ill. If you want people to be proud of their race, become someone that inspires pride. If you want people to think you're a good guy, just be a good guy.

Bolly Blog
A chance to talk mostly about Bolwell Sports Cars.
Sunday, November 22, 2015
I like microcars (the ones I can get into at least) and there was at least 2 of them at this year's Motorclassica. This one-eyed one....
.....and this Trident which I heard described recently as "a 5th grade science project on seed germination".....
.....and the "world's fastest bar stool".
Anyway, this little unit spotted in Bali........
,,,,,do you think it's made from the front of a Hi-ace or something?
And I wonder if this lady talked her way out of a ticket......

RPCS to expand $3 generics program to Food Pyramid
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. A regional, employee-owned company is set to celebrate the successful one-year anniversary of its $3 generic drug program by expanding its services.
RPCS, based in Springfield, Mo., launched its $3 generics program last year at its 20 pharmacies located inside the corporation's four regional chains: Ramey, Price Cutter, Price Cutter Plus and Smitty's grocery stores.
For Black Friday this year, the company debuted a similar program at nine pharmacies in Food Pyramid stores in the Tulsa area.
The $3 price applies to specific generic drugs with up to a 30-day supply of commonly prescribed dosages. Quantities over 30 days or above recommended common dosages will be at usual and customary pricing.
Since its launch, RPCS' pharmacists have filled more than 100,000 prescriptions.
"Senior citizens, as you would imagine, make up a large portion of customers taking advantage of the program," Larry Storey, pharmacy administrator for RPCS, said. "However, we've found that everyone appreciates saving money. We've filled $3 generics for people from all walks of life and all age groups. We've actually saved the customer anywhere from $5 to $20 for each prescription on the list."
The top five generics that customers are purchasing on the program are metformin, used to treat diabetes; hydrochlorothiazide, diuretic for cardiac patients; levothyroxine, for thyroid patients; lisinopril, to treat high blood pressure; and amoxicillin, an antibiotic.
Walgreens drops CVS Caremark plans over thorny issue of Rx payment rates
DEERFIELD, Ill.
In a dramatic impasse over the issue of prescription reimbursement rates, Walgreen Co. officials said today the chain will withdraw as a pharmacy provider from four prescription drug membership plans managed by rival CVS Caremark Corp.
Walgreens characterized the move as a reluctant and gradual response to "many months of talks over unreasonably low and below-market payment rates by CVS Caremark" for the four plans. Trent Taylor, president of the company's Walgreens Health Services managed care division, expressed a desire "to continue talks with CVS Caremark so that we can once again serve patients under these plans."
Patients affected include members of prescription benefit plans managed by CVS Caremark for ArcelorMittal, Johnson Controls, Inc., Progressive Casualty Insurance Co. and Wisconsin Education Association Trust. Most of the affected members live in Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio and Wisconsin.
"This is not where we wanted negotiations to lead," said Taylor. "We're sorry that our pharmacy patients and CVS Caremark's clients are caught in the middle, and we'll do all we can to ensure a smooth transition for our patients to another pharmacy. Meanwhile, we'll continue to work on resolving this issue with CVS Caremark."
Reached for comment, CVS offered a different view of the severed relationship. "CVS Caremark's first priority has been, and continues to be, the well being of our clients/plan participants and access to their prescription benefit," CVS spokeswoman Carolyn Castel told Drug Store News. "While we generally do not comment on client/retail network negotiations, we can say that we have repeatedly reached out to Walgreens to resolve the matter and regret that they have chosen to terminate their participation in the retail networks of the four clients targeted in the Midwest."
The impasse over reimbursement rates comes as something of a surprise, given the connection between Caremark and its corporate parent. When CVS announced its plan to acquire the big pharmacy benefit manager last fall, some industry-watchers predicted the merger could lead to a more favorable climate for the often-thorny relationship between pharmacy retailers and PBMs. Some, however, warned that ownership of one of the nation's largest PBMs by one of the two leading drug chains could shift the balance of power in favor of CVS alone, rather than for the chain pharmacy industry as a whole.
"Leaving a benefits plan is an extraordinary step for us, but it demonstrates how extraordinarily low our payments were from CVS Caremark," Taylor asserted. "We can't continue accepting reimbursement rates that are drastically below market, while offering patients needed special services such as 24-hour pharmacy access and drive-thru pharmacies."
Walgreens recently received a new and improved rate from CVS Caremark for another plan it manages that also had been paying below market, but a company statement said CVS Caremark declined to provide the same solution for these four other plans.
"In an effort to be as open and transparent as possible in negotiations, we even offered to open our books directly to the employer groups and show them how much our pharmacies are paid by CVS Caremark," said Taylor. "Unfortunately, CVS Caremark wouldn't allow us to do that."
Walgreens spokesman Michael Polzin said the decision to drop the plans "won't have any material impact" on the company's bottom line, despite the potential loss of those plan members as pharmacy customers. In total, he said, they represent "less than one percent" of the company's revenue.
With Walgreens' total sales now well in excess of $50 billion annually, it's unclear how much top-line revenue could be affected. One percent of those sales equates to more than $500 million, although that figure also takes into account front-end revenues that may or may not be affected by the loss of the four plans at the prescription counter.
At press time, sources at CVS could not be reached for comment.

International Rare Disease Day is tomorrow, February 28, 2014, and by now, after nearly six long years of sharing our story, you likely don't need me to tell you any more about Citrullinemia. I've blogged a lot in the past about Rare Disease Day so if you're interested in those older posts, you are more than welcome to check them out here, here, and here . Hopefully, if you have been reading long enough, you already know the basics about Urea Cycle Disorders and all that living with the disorder entails. I've been pretty open here, though more so in the beginning, about Corrigan's triumphs and struggles with Citrullinemia and brain injury, and I hope that this place on the web has been a positive thing for UCD's.
That being said, I do want to commemorate the week, alongside thousands of other families, because it is important to continue to share our stories and bring awareness to the more than 7000 rare diseases in the world. So if you are new here today, the links in the first paragraph should help you out and, as always, if you are interested in more information, please visit http://www.nucdf.org or http://www.rarediseaseday.org
Recently I blogged about the financial cost of rare disease, as it pertains to Corrigan's disorder, and today I thought that I might share about the emotional costs of rare disease but I think that on International Rare Disease Day, I will keep this post more positive. Instead of talking about the harder things, today I want to talk about being thankful.
I won't sugar coat it, rare disease has been the hardest thing I have ever had to face in my life and I am not even the one with the diagnosis. I've never felt fear like I have facing down something that could take my child from me. I've held my breath for countless hours waiting on labs, waiting on rescue meds to hurry the hell up and get here already from the pharmacy. I've watched my baby fly away from me in a helicopter, or driven away in an ambulance more times than I could have ever fathomed. I have seen misery, pain and absolute despair in Pediatric ICU's and ER's. I've stood witness to awful things in those places but I've also stood witness to humanity and love.
And even among such challenges we face, I have seen such gratefulness. Parents of sick children are some of the most thankful people you will ever meet. We are thankful for the medicines that flow through our children's veins. We are thankful for specialists and people that donate blood products. We are thankful for a nurse bringing us a cup of ice water at 11pm and for an extra pillow to help pad the fold-out couches. We are thankful for the smallest victories, when tiny tongues finally master a consonant sound, or when spoon+food finally makes it to mouth. We are thankful for Birthdays more than you could ever imagine, knowing that another may not be in the cards. We are thankful for hot meals and prayers. We are thankful for organ donors and paramedics. We know the flip side of every blessing.
We didn't get here, to year six, alone. We couldn't possibly have. So today I want to send a few shout-outs into the digital ether… to people that will probably never see this post in a million years, and maybe a few that will. I haven't a plan for the things I will share from here on out, just a brain full of memories and a need to say "thank you" in some way.
I will start from the beginning…
Thank you to the Physician's Assistant who heard my plea, who understood that my instincts were firing full throttle, and agreed to keep Corrigan overnight in the nursery when he was three days old. Because you listened, he is here today. I believe that completely.
Thank you to the PICU nurse who stopped me from collapsing in the hallway after a cold and heartless transport team-member told me that yes, there was a good chance my baby would die, as they were loading him into an incubator to fly him to Baltimore. You lifted me up, you gave me strength with your words, you told me to never give up fighting and today, I still fight when sometimes all I want to still do is collapse. I think you'd be proud of me.
Thank you to the Pastor who came to the ICU from the local rescue mission. We were from out-of-town, we knew our church family was praying constantly back home, but you came to my baby's bedside after hearing of him and you prayed words that I know went straight to God. You walked in, put your hand on my shoulder and told me to fear nothing. You have no idea how much your actions and words that night soothed my soul.
Thank you to friends and family that began prayer chains in Corrigan's name. Churches all over the world were praying for him that week, and many still do today. I know that this world will tell you that your words whispered to a faceless entity in the sky are useless. I know that people will say that modern medicine saved my son, not The Lord but I believe that everything you sent up in Corrigan's name was heard and that yes, modern medicine and amazing medical professionals saved my baby, but your faithfulness…your obedience…pleased God greatly and because of that Corrigan was, and continues to be, blessed.
Thank you to my sister. When Corrigan was born, you were parenting two elementary school-aged children of your own and when our lives were turned upside-down, and the ambulance came, and I still had a child at home who needed a parent, you stepped in. You stepped UP. You gave up your life for twenty-one days to take care of my oldest boy. You fed him, you cared for him and you loved him like your own, while your own family was hours away without you. You attended fifth-grade graduation in my spot, you took photos, you stayed positive for Connor. Because of your selflessness, Mark and I were able to completely focus on Corrigan. Not for a single moment did we have to worry about Connor's day-to-day needs because you handled it all efficiently and without complaint. Mark and I are so thankful for you, sweet sister.
Thank you to the local businesses that heard about Corrigan and put out donation jars to cover the cost of our travel expenses and missed work. Those donation jars helped so much as we traveled twice-weekly to Baltimore and let us focus on the needs at hand. I worked in the mall for more than 17 years and met some amazing people inside of that building over the years. Even today, though I am not able to return to work, I miss you all tremendously.
Thank you to the coordinator that walked by Corrigan's hospital room one lonely night- so many years ago, and heard Corrigan screaming as per his usual and came in to check on us. I know that sounds silly, but that was a horrible stay- one that had me literally pacing the unit for every single minute of the dark and lonely night as my baby wailed in my arms. I was at my wits end when you walked in, and my brain was full of thoughts as dark and as miserable as that evening. Thank you for talking me down. Thank you for not making me feel crazy. Thank you for holding my baby so that I could sit for just a minute. Thank you.
Thank you to our local hospital. If you'd known the amount of doubt that Hopkins had about your ability to properly care for Corrigan, you'd be totally offended but you proved them wrong. They told us that we had no choice but to move closer to Baltimore, that he would certainly be in danger if we stayed, but you stepped up. You agreed to do whatever it took to stabilize him, ordering a very expensive drug to keep in stock specifically for him and working quickly whenever we walked in. Your Emergency Room staff are angels, no lie. Sure, over the years, there have been some errors and some staff that have not been compatible with our situation (which has also happened at Hopkins too), but most in the department know that time isn't on our side when the chips are down, are trained in how to stabilize him, and do everything that they can to protect his brain. You are champions, in my book.
Thank you to the therapists who came to the house week after week, month after month and never made me feel as if Corrigan were anything but perfect. Your smiles were so needed. Your enthusiasm so wanted. You told me over and over that as long as progress was being made, we had reason to celebrate and that no matter how small the achievement, a win was a win. Thank you for the homework, for teaching me, so that I could teach him.
Thank you to the National Urea Cycle Disorders Foundation, more specifically Cindy LeMons. Thank you for your tireless efforts to bring awareness to Urea Cycle Disorders and raise funds for research towards treatments and a cure. Cindy, thank you for listening to me. For teaching me. For never sugar-coating the truth, but never focusing on the negative. Your vast knowledge, and willingness to share that knowledge, is so important when dealing with a disorder so rare. Day or night, email or phone, you always answer the call- for both new families and "oldies" like me.
Thank you UCD families. Oh my word, where would I be without you? The internet can be a scary place and especially so for the newly diagnosed. But it can also be a place of great support and understanding and I am so thankful to live in a time when social networking makes uniting families of rare disease so much easier than ever before. Thank you Murissa and Richard, for showing us that there is a great big life out there in spite of Citrullinemia. Thank you Amy, for taking my call and answering my questions, you were the very first parent I ever reached out to online. Thank you to so many others who have kept my inboxes and message windows full for the last six years-who talked me down and lifted me up. You understand completely what this journey entails and you know it isn't always pretty. We are all so different, but together we create this safety net for each other that makes us all feel like one. I never feel alone because of all of you.
Thank you to so many others too. Too many to list here, so many memories and faces swimming through my mind as I type. Thank you Dad and Mindy, you always make sure you are in the ER to greet Corrigan if I'm not able to travel with him by bird or box. Thank you Dad, for always making sure I am fed, have a big, strong hug and someone to talk to. I love you. Thank you to friends that picked up the slack on things like rides to practice and games for Connor whenever Corrigan was in the hospital. Thank you Mary Anne, for rides to Baltimore when my car is acting stupid and keeping my pantry stocked with coffee and sugar (priorities!). To my Mother-in-Law who would make sure the house was clean after a long hospitalization and take care of our pets when we are all out of town, and to my own Mom who always races up to the hospital to sit with us when we are local. Thank you to those of you that sent gifts for Corrigan, or a check out of the blue. For thinking about us, checking in on us when you haven't seen us for awhile. Thank you for still inviting us to things, even thought we almost always decline, things can still be difficult and staying home is sometimes easier. Thank you for not forgetting that we still want to be included but that life threw us a curve that prevented us from being part, and not judging us for that. Thank you for allowing our friendship to be a cyber-one, at the very least, and understanding when I maybe wasn't the best friend back.
And finally, thank you to those of you who read here. Most of you are probably my friend or family, but I see a lot of hits from all over the world in my blog stats so I know there are many many many of you out there following along, for whatever reason, and have been for years. Thank you Brazil, and Germany and Canada and Australia and Ukraine, you folks show up the most often and you make it so that I don't feel like I am talking to myself here. Because you stop by, I keep talking. I keep sharing. I don't know how you found me, but I am glad you are here.
I know that I am forgetting so much and part of me wants to delete this entire post for fear of alienating someone who gave and was not mentioned, but I am only human and I've spent a lot of years sleep-deprived and running on giant bowls full of anxiety, so my memory isn't as good as it once was. If I forgot to mention you here, please show me a little grace, and know that it was not intentional. I am positive that I will be in the shower later, or riding to the grocery store tomorrow and will suddenly remember something, or someone, and freak out that I didn't properly put it here. If you sent something, said something, did something, prayed something- THANK YOU. I may not remember it right now, but God does and He will richly bless you for your kindness.
Anyway, Happy Rare Disease Day! For more information on rare disease, please visit http://www.rarediseaseday.org/. Remember, alone we are RARE but together we are STRONG!
