Moving Windows Live Mail2012 to a new Windows 10 system

Simply create a bogus WLM account on the new PC (it does not need to validate and it does not stop you creating it when it fails - like Outlook does!). Open and Close it once.

This new folder should then be created:
C:\Users\Kevin\AppData\Local\Windows Live


From the old live system, copy over all the files and folders from this same location (make sure to SHow All files).

Voila - even the address book comes across!

It should just prompt you to for the password.

Delete the bogus account (top one as shown)

Notes:
Win10 need .Net 3.5 optional component and the SP1 update for it installed first.

DO NOT select the Photo Manager from the wlsetup-web  - and you don't need the Writer and DEFINITELY not the Messenger (unless you want to tear your hair out!)

Good books for kids

Good books for kids as suggested by Tom Hodgekinson in "The Idle Parent"

1. The Ahlbergs
2. JM Barrie - Peter Pan
3. William Blake
4. Enid Blyton (cuurently reading thesebut finding the overt moraistic messages somewhat tedious!)
5. Raymon Briggs
6. Lewis Carroll
7. Roald Dahl (oh yes:)
8. Daniel Defoe
9. Dickens - A christmas Carol
10. Arthur Conan Doyle - Sherlock Holms Mysteries
11. Kenneth Grahame - Wind in the Willows
12. Grimm Brothers - often a bit too grim when I try them..
13. Joel Chandler Harris - Uncle Remus
14. Charles Kingsley - The Water Babies
15. Rudyard Kipling - The Jungle Book
16. Edward Lear - (oh yeah)
17. C.S. Lewis
18. A.A. Milne -Pooh and Now we are six (delightfully offset by "Now we are sixty" ;)
19. Beatrix Potter (been there, done that, started the collection)
20. Tales from the Thousand and One nights

so there

and a couple more I found in a suggestion list:
Emily Rodda - Deltora Quest
Paul Jennings (Round the Twist series are fun but like Emily, for older children once they've read the Enid Blyton..)
Of course
JK Rowling
Eoin Colfer is very popular but can't say I've read any..
John Christopher's Tripod series is great.
Old but the Secret Garden as well - Frances Hodgson Burnett.

Best for last: , "Bottersnikes and Gumbles" by SA Wakefield.

When I can't think what movies to get

at www.fatso.co.nz Rabbit proof fence

and some others...

Courtesy of someone over at linuxformat.co.uk :

As for movies, I've watched at least 400 films over last 6 years, and probably only would watch every 20th or so again.

Again, possibly not everyones taste, but Sin City, Hotel Rwanda, Shooting Dogs, Cloverfield, Sideways, Touching the Void, Goodnight and Good Luck, Bourne, Layer Cake, The Departed, Everything, Final Cut, Dog Soldiers, Charlie Wilsons War, Dogma, The Painted Vail, Enron, Michael Clayton, Darkness Falls (Ray Winstone, not recent horror of same name), Lost in Translation, Pursuit of Happiness, Vanilla Sky, The Boiler Room, Thankyou for smoking.
All of these, imho, were a break from the norm when they came out.

But moreover, other countries are good place to look, they genuinely do things differently:
Tell No One, Assembly, Days of Glory, 9th Company, House of Flying Daggers, The Lives of Others.
All fantastic.

Shaking and shaking some more

Ok, so it wasn't THAT big a shake - but big enough after all these recent Pacific ones !

What to do with cabbage (creatively)

Heat oil (the current fashon is grape seed oil - although I think i prefer sunflower - but harder to get).
Add garlic finely chopped (or squished) and
chopped cabbage thrown in, some seeds - I used pumpkin and sunflower (there's that sunflower again!)

Wilt it down a bit - rough s&p (I always have a little left from last time in the pestle)

Yum.

This one I cannot claim as my own, and I have not yet tried it..

bugger - can't find the paper it was in.. Yesterday's Dominion I think

The short version is to fry thinly sliced brussels sprouts with garlic and slivered almonds (much like my recipe!! now that I think about it - and perhaps why I noticed it).
The article was part of a promotion to get ppl over their childhood hatred of boiled-to-mush sprouts (which I actually like - as I was NOT forced to eat them!)
