Best Practices: Unraveling tape encryption
With the emergence of new generations of tape drives featuring onboard hardware encryption, companies are revisiting their tape security practices in the hope that this new technology will solve security concerns at an affordable price.
| Tape encryption technologies and practices are on the rise. But with more choices than ever, careful consideration of the options is critical.
Despite steadily growing interest, the number of companies that encrypt their tapes remains relatively small. When SAN-based encryption appliances were introduced a few years ago, there was a significant uptick in encryption interest. With the emergence of new generations of tape drives featuring onboard hardware encryption, companies are revisiting their tape security practices in the hope that this new technology will solve their current tape security concerns at an affordable price.
A good place to start is with an overview of the landscape.
Backup software encryption: Many backup vendors offer basic client-side data encryption as a standard feature or option. Practically speaking, this function is of limited value due to the host/resource impact that's exacerbated by the necessary accompanying burden of host-based compression (software encryption renders tape drive compression ineffective). The bottom line is that this type of encryption is useful only in some cases.
Some vendors, such as CommVault and Symantec, have introduced data encryption on the media server, a choice that reduces the impact on client-side system performance. These options have the ability to compress and encrypt any combination of onsite and offsite tapes, and also provide some level of key management. Depending on media server configurations and data volume, this approach can be less costly than hardware encryption options. However, it carries some risk of media server performance impact.
| SAN-based encryption appliance: Encryption appliances offer line-speed encryption capabilities and key management capabilities. Veteran vendors such as Decru (a NetApp company) and NeoScale Systems have been joined by companies such as CipherMax and Crossroads Systems. These appliances sit in the data path between the backup server and tape library, and can encrypt the data stream in real time with little or no performance penalty. There's considerable variation among these products in terms of the number of ports available, which could impact scalability and configuration complexity. An advantage is that these appliances are agnostic with regards to backup software and tape hardware.
SAN switch-based encryption: An alternative to the SAN-based appliance has emerged in the form of the Cisco MDS 9000 Family Storage Media Encryption Package. Designed to run on multiservice modules available for Cisco 9000 switches, the device functions in a manner similar to that of an encryption appliance. The biggest difference is the ability to perform hardware-based encryption without the complexities of additional external devices and cabling.
Tape drive encryption: Perhaps the most eagerly awaited encryption development over the past year has been the introduction of tape drives with embedded encryption. Initially offered only in high-end ($30,000-plus) tape drives such as the IBM System Storage TS1120 and the Sun Microsystems StorageTek T10000, LTO-4 has brought this capability to the midrange level. Tape drives have included onboard compression for years and, all other things being equal, they seem logical targets for data encryption as well.
Another factor to keep in mind is the lack of key portability among vendors. While there's an emerging IEEE standard (P1619.3) and most vendors have pledged to support it, it's reasonable to anticipate potential transitioning challenges depending on organizational tape-retention policies.
| Security breaches can also translate into legal liabilities. Privacy notification laws, beginning with California's SB 1386, have been enacted by 39 states. Those who know California's law might mistakenly believe that encryption provides indemnification from these customer notification regulations. While this may be the case in California, subsequent laws in other states have no such exemptions.
This confusion, combined with the complexities associated with key management, means some firms choose to avoid encryption. Retaining tapes on company property and eliminating the physical relocation of tapes in favor of electronic vaulting and replication have become attractive options. But depending on the amount of data at hand, that route is often cost prohibitive. Expect advances in technologies like deduplication to make this option more feasible.
Scalability: How predictable is your data growth? Backup software and tape encryption solutions typically offer a smoother growth curve, while appliances follow more of a step function.
Key management needs: From a security best practices perspective, key management should be an independent entity from backup. But due to complexity and organizational limitations, backup admins often become de facto key managers, and there are many cases where one key is in place for all backup. Assuming those organizational policies mature sometime in the future, does your new solution have key management capabilities to accommodate them?
Economic drivers: Organizations typically upgrade tape drives on a three- to five-year cycle, but tape library cycles usually stretch from five to seven years or longer. Unless you're at the right point in your technology depreciation and refresh cycle, tape drive encryption may not be feasible.
Operational integration and management: All encryption options have some operational impact, but the specifics vary. Tape drive encryption, for example, is simple from a physical integration perspective, but its success depends on some degree of backup software support (from basic hardware support to full key management control). Appliances are often transparent to the backup app, but require their own operational procedures to be integrated with the rest of the infrastructure. In all circumstances, the impact on disaster recovery and archiving practices, and the challenges of managing encrypted and unencrypted tapes, must be addressed.

Go Far, Go Together
People often ask me how I have accomplished so much in my life. As I've said before, there isn't a specific secret to success, but rather many efforts that add up, including a lot of hard work and a positive attitude. But, one of my key success strategies is something that is taught to young children as sharing, but becomes better known as teamwork as we get older.
For me, when it comes down to making decisions or developing new ideas, it's always best to have the support of the team. One of my favorite African proverbs says, "if you want to travel fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together."
Embracing teamwork, means that more thought goes into what we're doing, more creative options will present themselves and the chances of finding the right results will be much more likely.
For almost 40 years, I've had a team of people around me who have played vital roles in the long term success of Forever, from the great people here in the Home Office to the staff in our offices around the world, as well as our Global Leadership Team of Forever Business Owners. Not only do these people have a professional impact on our business and on the direction of Forever, but they also have been close to me through some of the tough, as well as the best, times in my life.
It's safe to say that having trusted and positive people around you can help your journey to success be so much more rewarding.
Recently, we lost someone who was very dear to our Forever family, someone who I know has had this same appreciation for teamwork. Since 2001, Dr. Maria Idigo has inspired all of us to work together to achieve our dreams.
Maria, alongside her wonderful husband Clement, has been crucial in helping us grow the African market and has positively affected the lives of many thousands of Business Owners across the world. We are so thankful to our 'African Queen' and the legacy that she leaves behind.
Maria's ability to rally those around her, and her compassion and contributions to making a difference in Africa and around the world all prove that better things happen when we do them together.
Forever Yours,
Rex Maughan

Clearly, retention should be both preemptive and, when our preemptive measures have not worked, reactive. My experience shows that most clubs do not have enough clarity with either approach.
To better assess your clarity, I suggest looking at the following preemptive and reactive measures:
1. Do you have clear "save" goals for cancellations? Save goals are not the same as cancellation goals. The difference is that every month you know you will have a certain number of members cancel, but do you also have a projected number of those who you will save?
2. Have you calculated how much you will lose or gain each month by losing or saving members who want to cancel?
3. Do you have a new member integration program that highly integrates members into the club during their first 30 days with an incentive to complete the program?
4. Do you have a new member integration survey that allows members to tell you their preferred method of communication?
5. Do you contact members who have not used the club in the past 30 days? This is critical. We are not talking about 60, 90 or 120 days, but the past 30 days.
6. Do you have a retention manager who manages the above points?
If you do not have a person who is responsible for managing elements one through five, you probably are losing money unnecessarily. I'd suggest that you hire a retention manager who reports to the club manager.
The primary purpose for this position would be to create and deepen relationships with current and future members that will add value to their membership and enhance their sense of belonging to the club community.
The secondary purpose of the position would be to manage the member retention function at the club through preemptive and reactive solutions with the intention of adding a minimum of $500,000 to the club's annual bottom line.
The retention manager's job duties would include the following:
1. Coordinate and track the new member integration program.
2. Manage and track all program elements and staff.
3. Make the monthly non-usage calls to members who have not been in the club for the past 30 days to ensure that they come in the club within the next 30 days.
4. Handle all initial cancellation conversations with the goal of member recovery, not cancellation.
5. Enroll non-usage cancellation prospects in a 30-Day Make It Fit Program.
6. Enroll qualified members into a monthly member assistance program.
7. Manage and track all program participants using weekly and monthly communications with the intention of recovery, not cancellation.
8. Manage and implement a 90-day alumni member promotion each month to bring back a minimum of five members to the club.
9. Collaborate with other departments to host monthly social functions.
10. Calculate, analyze and report to the manager on a monthly basis all saved and lost revenue caused by cancellations.
So how do you evaluate whether a retention manager is a valuable position for you? You need to look at the compensation of that employee versus the percentage of revenue that that employee could provide your club.
You'll need to figure out the following: monthly salary, the percent of revenue that a retention manager could save you by keeping members, the commission on a 90-day member promotion, insurance coverage cost for the retention manager, how much you're willing to spend to educate the retention manager, and the amount of vacation and personal time you'll provide to him or her.
You might think that you can't afford to add any new positions or payroll to your budget, but I encourage you to take a look at the potential revenue that could be added or kept with this position versus what you lose now by not having this position. Most clubs have far too much cash flying out the doors because of incomplete retention efforts. Take a look at how some of these suggestions can put more cash into your business.

Why he matters: The rapper, born Bobby Ray Simmons, has been around for nearly five years, but his debut album, The Adventures of Bobby Ray, finally saw its release last month and shot straight to No. 1 on the Billboard chart. Like his ATL counterparts OutKast, B.o.B crosses genre barriers, infusing indie rock, techno, and other disparate elements into his hip-hop mix.

Quote:Of course, most dojos include "kumite" on their curriculum, but the most commonly practised form of kumite is based upon the rules of modern-day competition, not the principles of the kata. You must understand that the sparring of today is not the same sparring that was practised in the past. In his 1926 book, "Ryukyu Karate Kempo" Choki Motobu (who was one of Okinawa's most feared fighters) wrote, "Kumite is an actual fight using many basic styles of kata to grapple with the opponent" (Masters Publications 1995).
Quote: but I've never seen nor have I been shown a correlation between ground fighting and kata principles. I'm waiting for someone to write an article or book on that. seems to be still a secret.

Elizabeth Prochaska's recent post addressed the Canadian case of the Prime Minister v Omar Khadr from the perspective of its relevance to the law of diplomatic protection. I would like to highlight two other interesting international human rights law questions raised by the case. One is whether Khadr was at any relevant time "subject to Canada's jurisdiction" for the purposes of Canada's obligations under the ICCPR and the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the other is how we classify the conduct of Canadian intelligence officials who interrogated Khadr in Guantanamo in terms of human rights law.
Canadian officials interrogated in Guantanamo Bay Khadr several times between 2003 and 2004, for "law enforcement and intelligence" purposes. Khadr at that point was 16 or 17 years old, had never met with a lawyer, had not spoken with his family, and had been detained continuously at Guantanamo Bay since the age of 15. The Canadians were aware that Khadr was accused of having killed an American soldier, and although he had not been charged, the possibility of a trial before a military commission was reasonably foreseeable. They also knew that the US military was recording all of their interviews with Khadr, and thus that this material might well become part of a criminal prosecution against him. The Canadians subsequently transmitted summaries of their interrogations of Khadr to US authorities, with no caveats as to their use in criminal proceedings.
Some further information came to light in July 2008, as a result of a Canadian Supreme Court decision concerning Canada's obligations to disclose to Khadr's counsel the interrogation summaries which had been transmitted to the US authorities. In a document dated April 2004 and marked "Secret," a foreign affairs official provided a summary of the Canadian interrogation of Khadr that took place in March that year. According to the summary, the Canadian official who attended Guantanamo to interview Khadr was told by his US interrogator that "In an effort to make him more amenable and willing talk, [redacted] has placed Umar on the 'frequent flyer program' for the three weeks before [the Canadian official's] visit, Umar has not be permitted more than three hours in one location, thus denying him uninterrupted sleep and a continued change of neighbours. He will soon be placed in isolation for up to three weeks and then he will be interviewed again." The Canadian official proceeded with the interview of Khadr, despite learning this information.
Assuming for argument's sake that 3 weeks sleep deprivation of a 16 year old who has already been detained for 2 years amounts to inhumane treatment under the ICCPR Art 7 and CRC Art 37(d), the question remains whether Canada (through its agents) owed any human rights obligations to Khadr when they interrogated him in these circumstances. Khadr was clearly not within Canada's custody at this time; Canadian officials were not detaining him. Hence, under a strict factual control test, Khadr would not be within Canada's jurisdiction. On the other hand, the line of reasoning which emphasises jurisdiction as reflecting a specific relationship between the state and the individual (which could include nationality, and also state action directly affecting the rights of the individual) would allow us to argue that Khadr is in fact "subject to" or "within" jurisdiction, just as the Uruguayan nationals denied passports by Uruguayan officials in the US were still "subject to" Uruguay's jurisdiction. There does seem to be something quite perverse in concluding that, because Khadr was detained by the US, Canadian officials can take advantage of US abusive conduct by interviewing Khadr irrespective Canada's obligations under the ICCPR and the CRC. Perhaps this is what the Human Rights Committee had in mind when it warned that "it would be unconscionable to so interpret the responsibility under article 2 of the Covenant as to permit a State party to perpetrate violations of the Covenant on the territory of another State, which violations it could not perpetrate on its own territory."
This leads to the second question, which is: how do we classify the decision of the Canadian interrogator to continue with the interview after he was explicitly informed that Khadr had been treated abusively in order to make him "more amenable" to talk to the Canadian. At a common sense level, the interviewer who proceeds after learning of this is clearly contributing to or furthering the purpose of the abusive treatment. But what does this amount to in terms of framing the state's conduct in human rights terms? It seems to me that in these circumstances, the interviewer (acting within his delegated authority and so also incurring the responsibility of the state) has become a participant in the abusive conduct. This, in turn, violates the state's duty to respect the right of the person within its jurisdiction to not be treated inhumanely (CRC, Art 37(d), ICCPR, Art 7) and not be coerced into making a statement (CRC Article 40.2.b(iv)). It may also violate the state's obligation to ensure – as a standard of due diligence – that its officials do not acquiesce in or otherwise contribute to the abusive conduct of another state (the Committee against Torture has made this most explicit in paragraph 17 of its General Comment 2).
Does this also amount to "complicity"? The difficulty here, as Marko Milanovic has pointed out in an earlier post, is that it is not clear whether we have a non-criminal standard of complicity that could be applied. The standards of knowledge and intent required by Article 16 of the Articles on State Responsibility seems prohibitively high and may not capture even the conduct of the Canadian official in this case.

March 4 (Reuters) - Johnson & Johnson said U.S. health regulators denied approval to an expanded use of its blood thinner, Xarelto, to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
The drug, which J&J has developed in partnership with German drugmaker Bayer AG, was earlier denied approval in June for the same use, as a panel to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration raised concerns about missing trial data and bleeding risks.
In response to this, J&J submitted to the FDA additional data that showed the benefits and risks of Xarelto in patients who had withdrawn from the study.
"While we saw an increase in major bleeding, there was no increase in fatal bleeding," said Dr. Christopher Nessel, Vice President at Janssen, a unit of J&J.
Xarelto is already approved for six other uses, including reducing the risk of blood clots in patients who have had hip and knee replacement surgery, and to prevent strokes among people with a type of irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation.
J&J said on Monday it was evaluating the rejection letter issued by the FDA.

City of Newberry firefighters demonstrate the capability of the fire department's newest pumper trusk as compared to its old one. The new truck carries up to 4,000 gallons of water, a dramatic improvement in the ability of the fire department to extinguish larger fires.. (Today photo/RAY CARSON)
NEWBERRY – On Monday, Dec. 19, a ceremony was held at the Newberry Fire Station to introduce the public to the department's new acquisition. It is a tanker truck apparatus capable of carrying 4,000 gallons of portable water for putting out fires. The addition of the new tanker provides dramatic improvement to the Newberry Fire Department's (NFD) ability to battle larger fires.
In the past, if a fire occurred in an area without a city water hydrant nearby, the department was limited by its water supply. Fire trucks do not carry water and depend on either hookups to city lines or a tanker truck. The city owned a much smaller tanker truck, but if more water was needed it would have to leave the area to refill, using precious time and possibly leaving the firefighters with no way to continue to battle the blaze until more water arrived.
NFD covers a 64-sq. mile area, much of it rural, with limited access to the city water supply. Due to its increased storage capacity, this new truck will allow the crews to fill a plastic pool known as a dump tank, which the fire engine hoses can draw water from while the tanker refills. This will give the firefighters a constant water supply to fight the fire. This increased capacity can make the difference between saving a structure or watching it be destroyed due to limited water access.
According to Newberry Fire Chief Ben Buckner, the city saw the need for this purchase and budgeted $220,000 from the 2015-16 city funds to purchase this specialized vehicle. "We hope to balance the cost with our increased ability to fight fires and by lowering the insurance rates for city residents," Buckner said.
Fire insurance rates are based on Insurance Service Office (ISO) standards. The lower the number, the lower the rate charged by insurance companies. If a residence is based within 1,000 feet of a city water hydrant, it is rated as a three. If within five miles, then the rating is a nine. Outside of that coverage area, the insurance rates go even higher and sometimes the structure becomes uninsurable unless it contains its own water suppression system.
According to Buckner, the new tanker will allow property owners to get a three rating within the five-mile classification, which will help lower the fire/property insurance rates for many of the residents in Newberry. "We will make the money back by helping lower insurance rates for our citizens," Buckner said.
To celebrate this, the NFD offered a demonstration of the new tanker for the public. The ceremony was a traditional event known as a "wet down," which dates back to the era where fire pumpers were driven by horses and the pumps were hand powered. After a fire, the horses were separated from the wagons and both horses and pumper would be washed down by the firefighters. The wagon would then be pushed back into the station for the next fire. In the present era, a "wet down" signifies placing a new vehicle or apparatus into service.
For this ceremony, a dump tank was set up and both the old tanker and the larger new one pumped water into the tank. The comparison was to demonstrate the difference between the two trucks in speed, volume, ease of use and time. The old truck had a hose that attached to the truck and drew the water out by suction. The new truck has a built in chute at the back of the truck that pumps the water out directly at a much faster speed and volume.
Although NFD must register their new purchase with ISO to be able to qualify homeowners within a five-mile radius to receive a lower rating, the acquisition of the new truck is ultimately expected to lower insurance rates and make it much easier to fight fires effectively...possibly saving lives as well.

DescriptionChateau Montrose 2003
St. Estephe
Bottle (6)
"The enormous 2003 Montrose is built along the lines of the 1989 rather than the 1990. It boasts a dense black/purple color in addition to an extraordinary bouquet of scorched earth, blackberries, and cassis, fabulous purity, a skyscraper-like texture, and substantial tannin in the finish. This superb, huge, ripe wine is one of the vintage's most prodigious offerings." (97 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #164, Apr. 2006)
"A candidate for a perfect score, the 2003 Montrose has been a superstar since the first time I tasted it in barrel. Showing no signs of weakening, it is an amazing wine from this fabulous terroir. It boasts a deep blue/purple color as well as a stunning perfume of blueberries, black currants, blackberries, licorice and camphor. Dense, full-bodied and rich with an unctuous texture, well-integrated, melted tannins, and a long, heady finish, this big, brawny, super-intense, gorgeous 2003 is just beginning to enter its plateau of full maturity. It should remain there for at least two decades." (99 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #214, Aug. 2014)
"The blend in 2003 was 62% Cabernet Sauvignon, 34% Merlot (a very high percentage), 3% Cabernet Franc and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine, unlike most 2003s, has a freshness and liveliness provided by their extraordinary terroir. This wine can be drunk now. It has a dense bluish/purple color to the rim and an extraordinary nose of blueberries and mulberries, with blacker cassis and blackberry entering the picture. Scorched earth, spice and licorice are all present in this magnificent, full-bodied, opulent wine that is very Montrose, very classic and somewhat atypical of the vintage." (99 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #214, Aug. 2014)

Houston police warn drivers of 'wobbly wheel' scam
If a stranger tells you that you are having wheel trouble, beware, says the Houston Police Department. It seems this scam makes the rounds every few years.
HPD's Major Offenders Division has become aware of a new scam in Houston, where drivers are approached in parking lots or on the road and told that they have a "wobbly wheel" and forced to pay for repairs to problems they do not have.
Of course, these scammers will say they are with AAA or a car mechanic and able to fix these problem wheels.
Unsuspecting victims might allow the scammer and his fellow scammers -- they usually work in a group -- to "fix" the problem. The victims are distracted while the non-work is being done, usually without asking the victim if they would like the work done.
Some victims have reported items from their vehicles missing after these faux Samaritans are gone.
The victim usually protests paying the stranger for the work, at which point the scammers will forcefully intimidate the victim into payment.
HPD is warning anyone who is approached for unsolicited repairs to instead consult a licensed mechanic or other service instead.
Also, it's a good idea to not randomly pull over for strangers.
These scams have been reported off Studemont, Swift, Tabor, and the Southwest Freeway, usually during midday.
Anyone victimized by scams like this are encouraged to report it to the HPD Major Offenders Division at 713-308-3100.

Girl, 10, who got new lungs has more surgery
- Sarah Murnaghan suffers from chronic disease called cystic fibrosis
- She has received a second set of adult lungs after her first transplant failed
- Her case has touched off an ethical debate about the distribution of donor organs
A 10-year-old Pennsylvania girl who had a second lung transplant came out of surgery shortly after 5 p.m. today.
Sarah Murnaghan, who has cystic fibrosis, had a procedure to repair her diaphragm, which was partially paralyzed in the last transplant, and required a breathing tube.
The latest procedure took place at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. The surgery, called diaphragm plication, took about two hours, according to a post on the Facebook page of her mother, Janet Murnaghan. She wrote, "She is out of surgery, not awake yet, but Drs. say it went well."
On Monday, her mother wrote on her Facebook page: "Sarah is doing well, alert, improving inch by inch. We are hopeful tomorrow's surgery will bring us closer to successful extubation," in which doctors remove the breathing tube.
Stephen Shew, associate professor of pediatric surgery at Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA, said the diaphragm is a thin muscle that separates the abdominal and chest cavities.
Diaphragm plication, which is major surgery, is a folding of the diaphragm, said Shew, who has not treated Sarah. It allows more volume inside the chest cavity for the lungs to be able to accept air and work more effectively, he added.
In general, complications can include bleeding, infection, injury to the surrounding structures like organs, and unfolding of the diaphragm, Shew said.
The family announced Friday that the girl received a second set of adult lungs after the first failed just hours after the transplant June 12. The second transplant, which took place on June 15, appeared to be successful. The girl took a few breaths on her own, but she was put back on the ventilator because of the diaphragmatic paralysis.

My Mamba Monster Jato. 26/34 gearing on 6s lipo. The tires baloon too much to go full speed to clock its top speed. It has some aluminum parts and steel cv cvd's. I used my rustler's front hub assembly to hold on some sand tires and paddles on the back. I have it locked in 2nd gear. It is so heavy that I had to use 4 shocks in the back and 2 springs on each shock. It still bottoms out easily.
I took it to the beach yesterday and within 10 second of light driving, It completely stripped the second gear. So now I am converting it back to a 2-speed transmission.

This forum won't let me add a picture from my phone or else it would be here. Got a 3.3 jato rpm arms all around WITH sway bars(just need small zip ties). Trx bump pack battery, heavier springs, proline edges on front caliber on rear, trx alloy rear axle hub carriers, steel axles and gears, rpm front bumper, relocated easy start wires to the rear bumper, transponder, and most important of all, the lightweight steel race body. Let's see if this Facebook link for the picture will work

Figured out how to get a picture on here. Body is strong aluminum
So i recently picked up a Jato 3.3 and really like it. After break in i did a few mods and now am in the process of tuning it. So i added a little bit of bling but then again it's not a racer or basher. It's just for fun out in the yard and street where i don't take my Savy XL. Now that i see how much power i can generate, i will be upgrading the drivetrain 'clutch, gearbox and, diff'. As can be seen i have Badlands installed as the Anacondas are the suck on my assphalt out front. Looking forward to trying some Road Rage. Am still waiting on some more parts including gears and sealed bearings for my brake idler arm. Overall i am very pleased with the quality of the car and parts i've installed. I have had to glue the wheelie tires multiple times so i fear i will be losing some of those. My only real complaints so far with my setup is i can not fit the roll cage with the GPS module installed. I'll have to have the cage modified. My biggest complaint with TRAXXAS is the Anacondas are the suck and though the telemetry with the transmitter is way cool, this transmitter weighs a ton even before i put a phone on it. My FlySky It4 'with telemetry' on my Savy feels like a feather in comparison 'and it has a color touch screen built in'.
With all that said, here's Fred... 'Fred because he likes to get up on two shoes and dance' lol
You can see my wheelie videos here
Owner Dustyfingers
Modded to the Max
Drive it like its Hot
Out of all my RC's...Gotta say I love my JATO the most.

Faces Steak Corner
4D, Jalan Pantai Molek, Tanjong Tokong, Penang. Tel: 04-8900998.
Opens from 6pm to 1am.
Faces Steak Corner has been a bustling, friendly dining place at the Tanjung Tokong area ever since its existence. It has been there long enough to attract a steady base of regular customers. The dining area is based on an open air concept. I've been there several times with my close friends. Normally we'd stay up quite late to enjoy the live performance while sipping a big jar of juice.
After so many years, I'm surprised to find that their menu still the same. They serve mainly Western food and fresh juices.
For a taste of meat and seafood, hubby selected the sizzling mixed grill. The set comes with prawn, chicken, fish, beef or lamb (he chose to have lamb instead) served with black pepper sauce. I would say this is a good value set comes with generous serving!
Sizzling Mixed Grill (铁板黑椒酱什扒) RM17.90
Chicken Aux Champignons (磨菇汁鸡扒) RM7.90
We ended the hearty meal with just a total bill of RM32.30. There's no service charge and no government tax required. Cheap?

How Do I Specify HTML Editor to Use in Chrome?

I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong forum. How do I tell Chrome to let me use the Kedit editor - and not Chrome's tool - that I want to use to display and edit HTML source? In Firefox, I simply go to About:Config, set view_source.editor.external to true and put Kedit's location on my disk as the string value in view_source.editor.path.
I don't know where the equivalent settings are in Chrome, or if Chrome even gives the user that ability. FF keeps having a problem with the Media Player and half the time doesn't play it on my main PC, so I need to do my developing/editing in Chrome, where the Player works.
Any assistance with this will be most appreciated.
Thank you.

I'm not very knowledgeable in Chrome's settings, but I googled a little and it seems there is no way. Some people suggest looking for an extension but no one seems to find one so...

Understanding Autism through Rapid Prompting Method
Available for purchase at our online store
Soma Mukhopadhyay, like so many mothers, would not accept the conventional wisdom when her son Tito was diagnosed with severe autism. Defying the prognosis that Tito was incapable of accomplishing anything, Soma devised a way to teach her son to read, write and communicate. Tito is now a published author, and Soma has dedicated her life to teaching her revolutionary Rapid Prompting Method to hundreds of autistic children and adults throughout the world.
Soma's work proves what many parents have suspected: that students with autism are capable of learning at academic levels previously thought unattainable. The power of an academic education improves the lives of all people, and the Rapid Prompting Method is the key to providing the gift of education and communication to students with autism.
This groundbreaking book describes Soma's innovative technique, and for the first time in print, offers parents and educators a step-by-step guide to implementing this life-changing teaching methodology. It explores the science behind Soma's uniquely effective approach, and it gives how-to instructions for designing and implementing RPM lessons with various types of learners. Understanding Autism Through Rapid Prompting Method is a pivotal manual for educating persons with autism; it breaks down all barriers that have so long kept them in silent isolation.
"Soma is a gifted teacher who has given my son, and countless others with autism, a voice. Soma works with individuals who have previously been thought to be 'unteachable' - whom educators, therapists and physicians had all but given up on. Through her tireless efforts, Soma is slowly changing the way society views autism and how educators and parents approach it."
-Dr. Irfan Dahar, MD and Shazia Dahar, parents of 8-year-old son with autism
"My son has what most would call 'severe' autism. We have tried various approaches working with some of the top professionals in the nation. None has had the impact of Ms. Mukhopadhyay and the Rapid Prompting Method (RPM). I have continued RPM at home and my son has progressed through the math curriculum and is now beginning algebra and is working at grade level or above in other subjects."
-Mary Weldon, mother of 10-year-old son with autism
About Soma Mukhopadhyay
Soma Mukhopadhyay is the Executive Director of Education for HALO (Helping Autism Through Learning and Outreach) in Austin, Texas. She holds a Bachelor of Education degree and a Masters degree in Chemistry. Students come from all over the world to benefit from her innovative teaching approach. Since developing the Rapid Prompting Method to teach her son Tito, Soma has been featured on CNN International, 60 Minutes II, PBS, BBC, and Good Morning America, and in the New York Times newspaper, People, Scientific American and National Geographic magazines.

To watch it here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01qfqz5
Make Me a Muslim was a documentary following four girls in the UK who had converted to Islam and their reasons for doing so. It's presenter Shanna Bukhari (who was in the news a few years for having had received death threats following her annoucement of being involved in Ms Universe contest) posed the question "why would they give up their Western freedoms, the drinking, having fun to become Muslim?" (paraphrased).This opening line set the tone for the entire 1 hour programme.
I acknowledge some meaningful frames, quips and interactions may have been edited and/or scripted out to package it for terrestial viewing but despite that there were some telling undercurrents to the documentary that not even editing could have caused. Professing to being Muslim herself Shanna seemed to have trouble grasping why these girls had converted. One would think maybe she had issues with the discipline involved, such as prayer, fasting, not drinking as these prohibitions were quite strict and testing for most born Muslims, so for those who choose to become Muslim these things must be much harder to become accustomed to. Or of the harder struggles some of these girls may have had once they have converted.
But the focus of the programme was to do with none of that, it was to do with what is apparent and that is their clothing. This evolved even further and became a story about Shanna's personal journey in reconnecting with her faith
The first girl – Safia, was a bubbly, excitable girl who was in the giddy first stages of conversion. Everything seemed new to her, she loved the sisters she came across at the mosque and felt like one of them. All over Twittersphere and Facebook there were quite a few comments about Sophia shown to be praying with nailpolish on and arms bare and sharing her pre-hijab photos. She is a newbie, its a steep learning curve – no need to shoot the girl down.
The other girl, who's name escapes me – many apologies- had met her husband when she was a teenager as he used to hang about the school playground. He married her, secretly of course, as his family would never accept a white daughter-in-law. So a few years later, he was the good desi boy and abided by his parents wishes to go abroad to marry again (probably to a cousin or other family member). She wasn't entirely happy with this, but had come around to it as she had made him promise not to have sex with his other wife. Her sister however resented the arrangement as she felt her sister was practically living the live of a single parent. This whole story had too many cultural hang ups that in order to address them would be a whole blog post on its own.
Inayah had trouble finding a partner as most of the boys family wouldnt accept her unless she was Pakistani. Some men she came across wanted a girlfriend not a wife. She's better off without such people – lucky escape.
Alana converted after being introduced to Islam via her fiance. Shanna asked Alana for her opinion on her clothing – to which she replied it wasn't halal. Including the boots (which personally I loved!). This didnt go down to well with Shanna who then piped that her lifestyle and career in modelling was a result of being a modern British Muslim and nothing would change that. I would say all of the girls in the documentary were modern if modern means to be able to drive a car, own a mobile phone, travel, have a job, own a house etc.
Is a career in modelling, where clothing to be displayed and paraded such as short skirts, tube tops, cannot be modest according to Islamic principles, really be compatible with being a Muslim? Seemed like she knew what the answer was to that but didnt want to give it too much thought. And of course once you justify something to yourself its easy to carry on doing it, the very advice given to her by model/fashion designer Ayesha who was also a convert. However the irony of it all seemed to hit her when she attended a fashion party of Ayesha's. She decided to reconnect with Islam and contacted Alana. The line of "want to hook up and go pray sometime?" made me cringe!
Overall the programme missed the opportunity of really exploring the reasons and effect conversion had on the lives of these 5 girls, it focused too much on on what they were (or weren't) wearing.

The parent company of Baltimore's casino said Monday that one of its businesses is the subject of a federal investigation into money laundering and that it was pulling out of a $1 billion casino venture in Boston.
But officials at Caesars Entertainment Corp., which is building the $400 million Horseshoe Casino on Russell Street near M&T Bank Stadium, said neither issue would affect the company's Baltimore plans. The city is counting on the casino to provide funds for school construction and a property tax cut.
"Horseshoe Casino Baltimore, which will employ 1,700 people, remains on schedule to open during the third quarter of 2014," said Jan Jones Blackhurst, a Caesars executive. "Construction is progressing as planned. We look forward to adding a world-class casino to the city's portfolio of great tourism attractions."
State officials did not respond to a request for comment on the investigation. City Council Vice President Edward Reisinger, whose district includes the casino site, said he was surprised to hear about it and was seeking answers from Caesars.
But Kevin Harris, a spokesman for Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, said the administration is still counting on the casino as a boost to the city's economy.
"The casino remains on schedule to open next year, and the mayor looks forward to the added value it will bring to Baltimore, particularly in new jobs and another attraction to drive tourism into the city," Harris said. "All indications are that this will not affect operations for constructing the casino here in Baltimore."
Las Vegas-based Caesars Entertainment teamed up with local investors to form CBAC Gaming, which won the nod to build and operate the city's casino. Caesars made the disclosures about the federal investigation and the Boston project in a report Monday to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
Plans for the Russell Street casino call for a 122,000-square-foot gaming floor with slot machines, table games and a "World Series of Poker" room. The developers have agreed to pay the city at least $11 million in the first year of operation, enough to help fund the mayor's proposed property tax cut for homeowners for a year. Rawlings-Blake plans to cut property taxes by a total of 22 percent — a reduction of 50 cents per $100 of assessed value — over 10 years.
The mayor is also counting on revenue from the casino's table games to contribute to the city's $20 million annual share of a $1.1 billion plan to renovate and rebuild dilapidated schools.
James Karmel, a gaming analyst and Harford County Community College history professor, said the investigation was "going to raise eyebrows" in Maryland, even if there's no reason to be concerned about the Baltimore project's status.
"I wouldn't be surprised if the lottery commission launched an inquiry," he said. "The commission would be well-served to monitor this."
News of the investigation caused immediate market trouble for Caesars.
Shares of the company, which operates the Caesars Palace and Flamingo casinos on the Las Vegas Strip, fell as much as 9 percent on Monday.
In the filing, Caesars said it would withdraw its application for a casino venture with the operator of Boston's Suffolk Downs racetrack after investigators for the Massachusetts Gaming Commission raised concerns about its suitability for a state gaming license and the "financial condition" of the company.
A report by the Massachusetts commission, issued on Oct. 18 and not yet public, raised a number of issues, Caesars said. These included the company's financial condition and its business relationship — since terminated — with a partner in a hotel project. The company said "all but one" of the commission's concerns stem from "circumstances that are at least several years old."
The company said it "strongly disagrees" with the commission's assessment, which was filed in a report last week, but decided to withdraw from the Boston project in light of the commission's concerns. Caesars said that "neither it nor its affiliates have been found unsuitable by any licensing authority."
The company also said its Desert Palace subsidiary, which operates Caesars Palace, had received a letter from the financial crimes unit of the U.S. Department of the Treasury about "alleged violations of the Bank Secrecy Act," an anti-money-laundering law. Caesars said a federal grand jury is conducting an investigation into the matter.
The company is "unable to determine the probability of the outcome of these matters or the range of reasonably possible loss," the filing states.
Caesars is saddled with more than $20 billion in debt incurred when it was acquired in 2008 by private equity firms Apollo Global Management and TPG Capital, both of which remain major shareholders.
The company's withdrawal from the Suffolk Downs project is considered a major blow to Caesars. CEO Gary Loveman said in September that the proposed casino would draw elite international gamblers, making it one of the best cash-making opportunities in the U.S. gambling industry.
Shares of the company closed down nearly 5 percent at $17.81 in trading Monday on the Nasdaq.

Jared Followill Gossip
Jared Followill gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Timetable on recovery
Kings of Leon – you heard what happened at their show in Dallas the other night? Caleb Followill was not right. And apparently hasn't been right for a while. Here's what he told the crowd before stumbling offstage: "My voice is completely 100 per cent wrong, I'm sorry... Do you know what? I'm going to drink some beer and I'm going to drink some tequila and I'm going to have a good time, and for the record I'm not drunk. Full Story
Let me just make a quick call
Yesterday it was reported that Ashley Greene and Joe Jonas had broken up. Conveniently, just a few hours after the news went wide, Greene was papped in New York, in green for the occasion, with her dad, and oh look, shocking, she's also with Jared Followill, to whom she's been linked before, and apparently they're making out again now that she's done holding hands with a Vagina Virgin. Full Story
JailBait and a King of Leon
Miley Cyrus was in Madrid for the EMAs. Jared Followill was there with Kings of Leon. Apparently they went after-partyhopping together, flirting all night, and texting too. This is what I find so confusing about the young generation. They were at the same place, at the same time, and face to face at the club. Full Story
Caleb & Macauley Culkin's little brother
Caleb Followill is engaged – Us Weekly reports exclusively. Her name is Lily Aldridge. A model, obviously. They've been together a while. And in exactly four weeks from tomorrow, Kings of Leon will release the highly anticipated Come Around Sundown, their follow-up to the massively successful Only By The Night. Full Story
On Kings and bird sh-t
Am sure you've heard about the Kings of Leon debacle in St Louis? They tried to play a show at the Verizon Wireless Amphitheater but had to bail after only three songs because they claim that pigeons kept sh-tting in Jared Followill's mouth. The band's reps released a statement about a pigeon infestation in the rafters being a health hazard. Full Story
Vampire Manslinger
An addition to that earlier post… Am not down with Ashley Greene's fashion styling. Too desperate and hungry. Having said that, what I am down with is Ashley's attitude to boys. She is the Kate Hudson of the Twilight crew. Vampire Manslinger, love it. This is when you're young and free. Full Story
Kings & Peas & no one cares about Diddy
Victoria's Secret last night in New York. Rockers love models. So of course there was a Followill presence last night at the show as Jared and Caleb showed up on the carpet before taking their front row seats and then headed over to the New Moon afterparty. Jared's face is killing me in front of that dancing woman. Full Story

The number of fitness centers located in facilities with some sort of religious affiliation—from YMCAs to Jewish Community Centers to Kroc Centers—have for many years been joined by fitness programs located in actual places of worship. But have fitness facility operators truly looked at this market for growth opportunity like they should?
Recently, Today.com ran a story about how some church leaders are motivating their congregations to become healthier, many of them with great success. This trend is important, especially after a report last spring showed that young adults who attend religious services on a regular basis are 50 percent more likely to be obese by middle age than those who do not attend worship services. The study did not delve into why regular service goers were more likely to become obese.
On the other hand, other studies have shown that regular church goers live longer, are less likely to smoke and are more mentally healthy, perhaps due to the social support they get from regular attendance.
So, regular worshippers enjoy the social interaction that their institutions offer them. And, a large number of them need more education or motivation for becoming healthier. To me, this means that in addition to reaching out to the corporate market, club operators should be reaching out to religious groups in their area. A group of people in need are sitting in their pews each week ready to hear your words on fitness. Not every church, mosque or synagogue has the means or space to open a fitness room in their facility.
The question would be how much you tie fitness into religion and the beliefs of that place of worship. The churches featured in the Today.com report made a significant tie between the two. It would be a decision you would have to make along with the leaders of that organization.
What do you think about reaching out to this market?
