Trending Restaurants in Malaysia – Popular for this month
That Latte Place
jkdrooling posted jkdrooling.blogspot.com 138 ReviewsSo so
You'd be amazed to be welcomed by open-air tables and chairs surrounded by lush greenery and a chilling atmosphere. It would probably be very humid and uncomfortable considering our country's tropical climate but with some the shades provided, we felt utterly cosy with a slight blanket of breeze. Priced reasonably with a satisfactory portion of scrambled eggs, sausages, diced potatoes, hash brown, toast and baked beans, this indeed hearty dish provides an all-round combo that you need to satisfy your hunger. But few items are not very well-executed - scrambled eggs are bland with a slight lack of butter and taste, diced potatoes aren't served warm (as if have been pre-cooked for some time without heating) and toast is just a plain piece of bread (not even toasted I guess). It would be more satisfying if these items are refined.
Coconut Shake Klebang
This roadside stall is getting more famous by the day and sometimes have to queue up due to huge crowds.
wyilian posted wyilian.blogspot.com 31 ReviewsExceptional
A hidden gem, Klebang Coconut Shake, Melaka. Serving best coconut shake ever.

cecilia_qianqian posted misscawaii.blogspot.com 56 ReviewsGood
The dish is good and portion is big enough, a good place to having brunch but very crowded.

Another visit, obviously their parfait are still my favourite
Good Friends Restaurant & Cafe
Located in the bustling SS15, good friends is a warm, homey, friendly lifestyle restaurant and café for those who want to have a healthy approach to food and eating better. The idea behind Good Friends is simple: to please your palate and provide you with great food made from scratch, from soup, pasta meat sauce to homemade desserts and cakes made by hand in our kitchen. Good Friends isn't only about food, we help people live better lives. We love to create events that bring community together. Here at Good Friends, we believe in pampering our patrons with the finer things in life -- delectable cuisine, music, the arts. What better way to do it than over a good cuppa coffee with loved ones and Good Friends!
cecilia_qianqian posted misscawaii.blogspot.com 56 ReviewsSuperb
What do you think if a place that specially for good friend hangout and gathering all day? Realized another restaurant is open at SS15 and definitely a good place for a long talk with good friend! Like their baked eggs and do try it!
Sushi Flash SS15
All sushi cost RM2 or RM3 only, except sets.
LoveEatShop94 posted loveeatshop94.blogspot.com 24 ReviewsSuperb
"EAT LIKE A BOSS" This is their tagline of the shop. Pretty interesting, isn't it? I was very happy that I had got invited to review about it and people do really read my blog. *happy* And, today I had visited to here (like finally!! :) ) Sushi Flash is a new Japanese restaurant which started in March 2013 and mainly focuses on serving sushi on conveyor belt. It is located same row with McDonald and beside Face-to-Face Noodle House 面对面. There are colleges and housing areas around and I heard that usually fully seats during weekdays. It is indeed a strategic location to eat Japanese food whenever you feel like it. One of their staffs welcomed and served us. He introduced us their BEST SELLERS at there. When we browsed through the menu, surprisingly, all of the sushi cost RM 2 and RM 3 only (FIXED price)!! This included SALMON (OMG! Where to find this price of sushi??!) and they do have many varieties of sushi, sashimi, handroll, maki, gunkan, and sets (donburi and udon) with this pricing EXCEPT some really expensive dishes such as Unagi (different from Anago) and sea urchin. Definitely a good place to fix your craving! :)
Urban kitchen and coffee house located beside KLCC LRT station. Incredible coffee by Common Man Coffee Roasters
liyenz posted liyenz.wordpress.com 49 ReviewsGood
Spiced Latte. It is something extraordinary. The taste is acceptable, with the smell of Cinnamon or other spices. If you do not prefer those spices smell, I would suggest you to drink the normal Latte or other type of coffee. The environment at this restaurant is nice and great place for chit chat. Although the cafe is quite small, it still can accommodate about 20 patrons. They do sell cakes and other main courses.
Pickle & Fig
The idea of Pickle & Fig is to offer healthy fresh gourmet panini, sandwiches and smoothie. We doesn't just boast a healthy hearty palate but also prides itself as a nice cosy neighbourhood laid-back joint.
cecilia_qianqian posted misscawaii.blogspot.com 56 ReviewsGood
They serve good drinks and food more on sandwhich. A good place to chiling and having some board game to enjoy great time.
Bel Pasto Italian Restaurant
This is an Italian restaurant. Famous for their Tiramisu.
jkdrooling posted jkdrooling.blogspot.com 138 Reviews
Everyone at the table unanimously agreed that this is possibly the best tiramisu in KL, if not Klang Valley.
Teo Chew Cendol
The best chendol in Penang for years and still number 1
d_luaz postedSuperb
I found nothing too fantastic, but my wife love it. Still a nice drink under the hot sun, standing and eating by the road side is an experience, and very affordable.
Village Park Restaurant
A lot of positive feedbacks are given to their lauk pauk, nasi dagang and noodles too. We will definitely come back to give it a try, will be having a hard time to resist ourselves from ordering the nasi lemak again. Village Park is operated by a Chinese-Muslim husband-wife team. Service for food is fast. Iced Special White Coffee (RM2.50), Kedondong juice & sour plum (RM2.50), Nasi Dagang Set (RM5.40), Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng (RM6.80),
zappalangzpl posted zap-pa-lang.blogspot.com 74 ReviewsExceptional
椰浆饭是大家再熟悉不过的本地美食,也是很多人最爱的早餐选择。如果问道椰浆饭爱好者雪隆区一带最棒的椰浆饭,相信这间在 Damansara Uptown 的 Village Park 一定会榜上有名。 Village Park 的人潮从早上到晚上都一样那么多,只见服务员在人流中穿梭,一边替刚来的顾客安排座位,一边下单收碗碟。准备食物的柜台也同样忙得停不下来。
Carnaval Churrascaria
Brazilian churrascaria captures the ideal spirit of a barbecue – wide choice of meat (no pork, no MSG) that is served freshly cooked and hot on your plate. There is a tangy tomato-and-onion sauce to go with it. Carnaval Churrascaria offers more than 10 cuts of meat –from beef, lamb, chicken, liver, gizzard, fish fillet, turkey ham and sausage – as well as whole grilled pineapple.
dropsofcontentment posted dropsofcontentment.blogspot.com 144 ReviewsSuperb
The bottom line is Carnaval is the place to be if you have a simple passion for meat. With unlimited servings and being able to eat meat that is always kept warm, this is a carnivore's dream!

Around the time my mother taught me how to tie my shoes, she also already taught me to protest.
Her rules were simple: Look respectable, act respectable, and do not give the opposition any ammunition. Together we buttoned those top buttons and combed our hair for peace, civil rights, the ERA, You name it, we marched for it. In sensible shoes.

Fasting & Abstinence
'Christ Himself said that His disciples would fast once He had departed' Lk. 5:35
Abstinence. The law of abstinence requires a Catholic 14 years of age until death to abstain from eating meat on Fridays in honor of the Passion of Jesus on Good Friday. Salt and freshwater species of fish, amphibians, reptiles and shellfish are permitted.
Fasting. The law of fasting requires a Catholic from the 18th Birthday (Canon 97) to the 59th Birthday (i.e. the beginning of the 60th year, a year which will be completed on the 60th birthday) to reduce the amount of food eaten from normal. The Church defines this as one meal a day, and two smaller meals which if added together would not exceed the main meal.

Garrett's brother, part of Cowboys staff shake-up, lands job with Tampa Bay
Dallas Cowboys tight ends coach John Garrett started his post-playing career in Tampa. He'll return to his roots today.
Garrett will sign a contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, having agreed this weekend to become their receivers coach. Garrett was a pro personnel assistant for the Bucs from 1992-94.
Garrett worked in Dallas for six seasons, arriving when his brother, Jason Garrett, became offensive coordinator. John Garrett added the title of passing game coordinator to his title in 2011.
"I'm really excited about this opportunity in Tampa," Garrett said. "We had a had a great time interviewing down there, getting to know coach [Greg] Schiano more and more and the offensive coaches and the rest of the staff of the Buccaneers. It really went well, and I'm thrilled for the opportunity and just really excited to get started working for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers."
Though Garrett still was under contract in Dallas, the Cowboys already had OK'd his leaving. He and other coaches had been allowed to look for other jobs, and Garrett had applied for the University of Delaware head coaching position before the opportunity with the Bucs came last week.
Garrett, 47, will leave his brothers Jason and Judd, who is the Cowboys' director of pro scouting. But he said he will miss the players in his tight ends room as much. Garrett said he developed a special relationship with Jason Witten, John Phillips and James Hanna. Witten left for Hawaii and his eighth Pro Bowl on Sunday.
"My six years with the Cowboys have been fantastic," Garrett said. "I want to thank the [Jerry] Jones family and the entire Cowboys organization. I loved coming to work every day, but most importantly, I enjoyed working with the players in my position group. The tight ends are just fabulous people, really good players, and they do it the right way. They love football. They prepare. They execute. They have just tremendous integrity and character. It was a great, great tight ends room."
Jones had promised to make it "uncomfortable" around Valley Ranch after a third consecutive non-winning season, and he has.
Garrett is the fifth assistant to leave Dallas. Defensive coordinator Rob Ryan was let go, replaced by Monte Kiffin. Defensive line coach Brian Baker also was not retained, replaced by Rod Marinelli.
Running backs coach Skip Peete also was let go before landing in Chicago. The Cowboys have not replaced him yet. Special teams coach Joe DeCamillis' job also has not been filled after he also joined the Bears' staff.
Wes Phillips, who has been on the Cowboys' staff for six years, could be considered for John Garrett's vacated job. Phillips has spent the past two seasons as the assistant offensive line coach.
The Cowboys also are unsettled at play-caller, though the job could go to offensive line coach Bill Callahan.

Vermicomposting and free compost in SLC
I have vermicompost and worms available for sale.
Red wigglers (Eisenia fetida) cost $35 for the first pound with up to 5 gallons of bedding.
For gardening, I prefer one year old aged horse manure / sawdust compost from:
LynnleighÃÂ FarmÃÂ
10777 S State StÃÂ
Sandy,ÃÂ UT
For $5.00 they will load your pickup, trailer or combination. I will help you if you want assistance.
I use plywood sideboards to double the load.
Using a shredder when unloading it will make it much finer.
You can use my sideboards and rent my 8hp shredder that has a 1" screen.
Nurseries use semi loads of their compost mixed with soil to create bulk garden soil.
Adding 2" spring and fall as mulch will keep your garden in excellent condition and keep your shoes and knees clean.

Never clogged on me which is a bonus. It just didn't really make me feel like Queen For A Minute, much less a whole day. Added marginal volume, the same amount I can get from most other products. I finished it because I'm cheap and stubborn but won't be repurchasing.

3.5/5 lippies for sure.
I bought this product because stylists rave about it on this one blog I love, intothegloss.com
Supposedly all these stylists use it during runway shows.
Thickening: This product is great at thickening and adding texture and grip to your hair.
Volumizing: I don't find that this product volumizes more or better than drugstore products. It does create great lift and volume but like drugstore products, it falls flat pretty quick. I also didn't find that it extended my "clean hair" to a second day like some reviewers mentioned. I've had hair products do that before, and this wasn't it.
Overall: I feel this is an expensive version of a drugstore volumizing product. I won't be repurchasing.

Bed Head Queen for a day thickening spray.
Ok so let me first say that I have fine hair but plenty of it in a bob and a fringe and my hair can look pretty flat without back-combing. I usually use mousses's along with voluminous hair techniques like back combing. Only problem with back combing is makes hair super knotty and is terrible for hair split ends, dry hair blah blah. So I was on the hunt for some products that would hopefully give me that oomph. Lets just say I found it right here with Bed Head. After them using bed head at my salon I love all the smells and cute packaging when my hairdresser does my highlights and cut so was tempted to treat myself to a few of their products. I love this spray when sprayed onto dry hair into sections and then blow dry each sections finishing my straightening. This is a 'heat activated' product and therefore requires you to use heat on your hair for it to work. It seemed like the more heat I was using the more volume I was getting. I can't honestly believe how much beautiful volume this product gave me it smells absolutely lush, quite citrus and fresh but seriously no joke it makes me look like I have twice as much hair. I absolutely adore everything about this product and will continue to repurchase as it really hits the spot. Well worth every penny for me! Well impressed!!

I have a classic Bob hairstyle that I love but can at times look a little flat, especially in hot humid SC. I found this product on a clearance rack at TJ Max (outer cap missing) for 5.00 and thought it worth a try. I love it but I don't use it on wet hair, after drying my hair I flip hair to one side, lightly spray with Superstar then take my hands and run from bottom up to roots, flip hair to the other side and repeat. After doing this my hair will be standing up looking crazy/ scary but again using my fingers I pull hair from underneath placing it how I want it to lay. The top layer I leave a little looser/ textured looking. For me it works wonderful, not crunchy or sticky just thicker/ volume. Start out using a light spray you can always add more. Although I got a great deal on this can I would pay full price in the future . Youtube has a couple of good videos with helpful info on using. Hope this is helpful, good luck!

This product is not going to give you that big, sassy, "Dallas" hair but for an everyday thickining spray its great. I love the way it keeps my normally oily hair looking clean all day. It gives it a noticeable amount of body without looking too full for the office.

This stuff is great, but don't use as directed. I bought this to use on my 2nd day hair because I like the dispenser. I was not dissapointed. I spray some on my roots blow dry with my head upside down, hit my roots with the cool shot and flip my hair back. Amazing volume for 2nd day hair. I'm taking one lippie off because I tried it on wet hair and was not impressed. I prefer the Catwalk Root Boost on wet hair.

I used to blow dry my hair a lot and I tried this out the way it's supposed to be used: sprayed on the roots and then blow-dried. It really didn't work well that way for me at all; I just got weighed down roots. Now that my hair is longer I don't want to spend the extra time blow drying my hair so I do what the other reviewer does: I spray it onto the ponytail part of my hair only after putting in some leave in conditioner and twist it into a bun and sleep in it. I only started doing this because I have a ton of hair products that I used a lot with short hair but now don't need with my longer hair, so I'm thinking of creative ways of using things up. Who knew that uses this like a mousse on the length of my hair works better than regular mousse?

I love this stuff. It smells AMAZING. However, you either love TiGi scents or you hate them and if you hate them you won't like this. It's very sweet... like wearing cotton candy on your head.
It's a moderate thickener (rusk Thick is better) but I will keep using it because I think I might be addicted to the smell.

The Laser String II (Triple) is the first 3D laser measurement device of its kind for performing four wheel alignments, chassis inspection, and chassis construction using the vehicle's centerline as reference. Laser String II is a triple laser head tool using laser plane generation technology developed by ART for IndyCar technical inspection. It takes the place of parallel strings for much more convenient and much more precise measurements.
Laser String II is a custom three-head laser system that projects three parallel vertical reference planes. The center laser beam gets aligned to the vehicle's centerline. The two outer beams, on each side of the car, are calibrated to the center laser beam. Simply place the gauge on the ground, level the high precision bubble level, align the center laser to your vehicle's centerline, and you're ready to measure.
Note: This is the set of three laser heads only. It does not include the aluminum rails (crossbars) which support the laser heads. We offer this partial kit for those customers who can purchase or fabricate their own rails for less than the cost to ship the rails from the factory. You must supply the rails in order to use this item.

Decision nearing for Greg Monroe?
August, 10, 2014
By Tom Carpenter | ESPN Insider
When Detroit Pistons big man Greg Monroe signed with agent David Falk, the immediate fear for 'Stones fans was that the notorious agent would convince some team to give him a max contract, which the Pistons would be unwilling to match. Yet, here we are a week and a half into August and Monroe hasn't had a legit nibble from an interested suitor.

Ball Blue Book recipes never the correct number of jars
I haven't been on Gardenweb in years......like 10 years.....so bear with me if I'm asking something that's been posted a zillion times already. I'm relatively new to canning. Last year I learned water bath canning, this year is pressure canning. And I am the biggest 38 year old canning addict you'll meet right now!! In my experiences, almost every recipe in the BBB never finishes out the number of jars the recipe says. Most of the time it's half! Most recipes do say "about x amount of pints/quarts" but sometimes it's way off. This does not happen with recipes from other sources. (I ONLY use reputable safe recipes.) Does anyone else notice this happening with Ball recipes?
Most of the time it's half!
That much indicates some sort of problem in the way you are doing the recipe, not the recipe itself.
Sure they are approximations so may be off by 1/2-1 jar either way depending on all sorts of variables - using the wrong size jar, the quality of the fruit or vegetable, how you chop/slice/grind or how much solids you pack into the jars. Over-packing jars is a very common mistake for those new to canning and needs to be eliminated for safety sake.
So could you give examples of the specific recipes you have had such a BIG difference with?
I am also new to canning but had that experiences with the ball sweet pickle relish. Way to much brine for the amount of veggies. I did leave what I canned soupy (i.e. not packed tight like store bought relish) and ended up throwing out brine and got 4 pints.
with the ball sweet pickle relish. Way to much brine for the amount of veggies. I did leave what I canned soupy (i.e. not packed tight like store bought relish) and ended up throwing out brine and got 4 pints.
That recipe says it makes 8 HALF-pints. You used pints and upped the jar size. That is never recommended. 4 pints was correct in total but the wrong jar size for that particular recipe.
Fortunately for you, pints are allowed per the NCHFP recipe (which has the same proportion of vinegar) and processed for the same 10 mins.
Here is a link that might be useful: NCHFP - Sweet Pickle Relish
Thanks everyone, it's great to have people to consult with. I respect you all for your knowledge and experiences, as canning seems to have consumed me! Explaining myself further, I'm new to canning but not new to preserving or cooking in general. I'm a stickler for correct measurements, volume, etc. especially so with learning the pressure canning, as I admit to being fearful of using one for many years. I'm not fearful of it now, at all. But being fearful made me a stickler for doing EVERY step exactly as indicated, absolutely no cutting corners. The Ball Blue Book is my bible. While I'm trying virtually every recipe for everything edible, the BBB is always my first choice. I've never had one BBB recipe turn out bad, never had a bad canning experience. I'm just saying the volume of the end product is never what it says in the book. If it says "approximately 5 pints" I know to only sterilize 3 pint jars because I will not end up with 5. I've not had this happen with recipes from other sources.
Wow, if I took the time to list every BBB recipe I've used, I'll be on here all day! Obviously, my problem is with recipes and not with general canning of fruits, vegetables, etc, that are canned in a syrup or vinegar. It's the recipes that my volume is off. Looking thru the book, I've done every chutney, and noted in my book the actual # of jars I ended up with. It's always less by 2 jars. Tomato products are definitely off, and maybe this is to be expected. Using a particular type of tomato with more water content, the amount of summer/boil time, etc. I expect it to be different with tomato recipes. I love the conserves, preserves and certain jams with mixed fruits, and every recipe that I've done has a notation for the actual number of jars I ended up with vs. the number the recipe says. For jellies, I stick with Sure Jell, as most produce is scarce here, I have to purchase it, and I don't want any mistakes. And certain recipes using those same fruits, I've bypassed using the BBB recipe and used other sources because there is more if a promise if having more jars when I'm done than with BBB. What could I be doing wrong on my end if other recipes end up pretty accurate but BBB ones rarely are?? I appreciate all of you for your help! I could just pick your brains all day! :-)
Sorry, didn't mean you needed to list them all. :) Just meant give us a couple of specific recipe examples where your results have been way off so we could look up the recipe and maybe help ID what may be the cause. Surprisingly, based on posts in the past, most seem to find they get more jars than less and so prepare more jars rather then less.
But some examples of general causes of a big difference between the recipe's predictions and results of much less:
1) as with coralb's post above - using the wrong size of jars
2) accidentally leaving out an ingredient and not realizing it - happens more often than you might think especially for new folks and some recent posts here on just that issue
3) mistakes in measuring as Linda Lou mentioned
4) chopping/grinding/dicing - all those terms mean very different things to some folks and particle size can make a BIG difference in the end result. This is especially common with chutneys and relishes. Chutneys are typically a very coarse chop while relishes are a very find chop or a grind. So if you grind chutney ingresients you'll get less jars.
5) over-packing the jars with solids and not enough liquid (the most common cause by far and the only one that poses a potential safety issue). People tend to over-cram either to make it look like store-bought to to avoid having left overs. Especially common when doing tomatoes whole or in halves.
6) over-cooking before jarring results is softer, more compact food particles - BIG effect on tomatoes.
7) the food quality/juiciness controls the amount of liquid
A point about Sure Jell vs. the other pectins. Sure Jell is a much harder set than the other brands, especially the Ball Brand pectins. So with Sure Jell's rock-hard set you will often get less 1/2 pint jars. One reason why many of us don't like to use Sure Jell and prefer Ball or Pomona. Personally I'll use Certo if I have to before I'll use Sure Jell.
But the important issue is safety of the foods and when done properly the foods should be safe even if it is a jar off. Hope this helps some and if you haven't, consider purchasing the Ball Complete Book of Home Food Preserving.
PS: is your BBB the new edition? There have been many changes.
I'd go for over-cooking (as in chutney) or over-packing (as in pickles and relishes).
I would expect some small variations one way or another allowing for natural differences in how each of us operates and also differences in the water content and size of produce (for those recipes that specify "large", "medium, etc. as opposed to weight) but really significant variations occuring consistently indicates there's some sort of user error.
As Dave said, a difference of a jar or so is not a big issue but ending up with 2x the quantity or half the quantity is.
Wow, thank you Dave!! I'm a pretty throughough lady and I appreciate folks immensely who are as well. I gotta tell you, if I were a wealthy woman, I'd hire someone to assist me for a full year to make certain I learn correctly. And yes, if I were wealthy I WOULD still do canning. :-)
You've pointed out many eye opening issues, particularly with the chopping/grinding issue. I think this may be a mistake an individual makes when they envision their own personal final product. Such as myself, with many of my chutneys if I have any hope in my children eating them, the onions and peppers need to be invisible, practically. Same with tomato products containing onions/peppers. It's quite possible I'm over chopping, which would undoubtedly result in more of a measure than a coarse chop. Am I wrong, though, to say that many recipes don't get too specific about chopping, nor put enough emphasis on the importance? Thanks for bringing to my attention.
Also, am I safe to assume many people (including) me would be more likely to over cram, without realizing we are doing so) for the sake of conserving jars/lids? Particularly people like me who are so new that we are purchasing new jars, and it's a whopper of an investment. I guess maybe a time or two I have thought "I can add a few more chunks to each jar" in order to save another jar. However, I've never intentionally overstuffed a jar, I always follow headspace, but maybe it ended up being crammed inadvertently?? Definitely, definitely makes sense.
I have had issues with other recipes having too much product. But this has never happened with BBB. I have the 100th Anniversary Edition of BBB dated 2010. I most certainly will invest in the complete book, which I only recently knew existed. I'm pretty well read up on changes and safety issues that have come about in recent years, and I read and read and READ it over and over and over again to make it all stick! I can't wait to get free time to read the entire Harvest forum from the beginning!
Thanks Carol. I haven't found a BBB recipe yet that's notated in my book for ending up with just one jar less than the recipe states. I can't be making that many errors, can I?! The food quality is great, seals are great. I probably would have just assumed this was just normal if I hadn't started using other recipes.
Also, am I safe to assume many people (including) me would be more likely to over cram, without realizing we are doing so) for the sake of conserving jars/lids? Particularly people like me who are so new that we are purchasing new jars, and it's a whopper of an investment.
Oh, yeah! Good point. I actually had to buy some pints this year, first time in decades, and their shiny newness made me want to save and not use them. :)
"First time in decades"........I assume Dave's been at this a long, long time??! Whatcha doin for the next 12 months of your life, Dave??! Lol! Ahhhh to have someone here to correct my mistakes. My beloved Grandma is proudly watching over me and this endeavor, the proudest grandma in Heaven. What I'd give to spend the day with her and let her pass everything down to me.....

Oscars Red Carpet Trend: Green Goddesses
These green goddessess aren't trying to make an environmental statement, they are trying to make a fashion statement on the red carpet.

How do you guys feel about green gowns on the red carpet?

The look is nice, but the only one capturing me is Beyonce's - BEAUTIFUL - it is NOT "tacky"..out saying, btw -you don't know fashion, honey! kate's - simple, pretty & chic, celine's looks like it's about to fall off..lame & not classy.. isla's is awful, not classy either, the only thing she's showing is that she doesn't fit her dress & she got a boob job that she's badly showing off.. :)

(Reuters) - U.S. security software maker Symantec Corp and Russia's Kaspersky Lab downplayed a move by Beijing to exclude them from a list of anti-virus vendors whose products are approved for sale to central government agencies in China.
The People's Daily, the official newspaper of the ruling Communist Party, said on its English Twitter feed on Sunday that the government's procurement agency has excluded Symantec and Kaspersky from a list of security software suppliers.
Kaspersky confirmed on Monday that authorities in Beijing had moved to restrict government purchases of software from non-Chinese companies.
"Chinese Central Government Procurement Center temporarily rescinded its endorsements of all foreign security providers," Kaspersky spokeswoman Susan Rivera said.
"However, this restriction only applies to national-level institutions whose funding comes from the central government procurement budget, and does not include regional governments or large enterprises."
Symantec said in a statement that the list referred to in Chinese media reports only affected some types of products.
"It is important to note that this list is only for certain types of procurement and Symantec products are not banned by the Chinese government," the statement said.
"We are investigating this report and will continue to bid for and win government projects in China."
Shares of Symantec closed up 1.7 percent at $23.56 on the Nasdaq on Monday. The Nasdaq Composite Index rose 0.72 percent.
The People's Daily also tweeted that it had approved the use of five Chinese anti-virus software vendors: Qihoo 360 Technology Co, Venustech, CAJinchen, Beijing Jiangmin and Rising.
FBR Capital Markets analyst Daniel Ives said he sees the development becoming a more contentious issue over the coming months.
"It's another headwind for the company as Symantec already faces numerous challenges to show growth again. China remains a headache situation for Symantec as well as other U.S. tech providers across the board." Ives said.
Symantec said last month it was in talks with Chinese authorities following reports that China had banned use of one of its products, data loss prevention software.
Sunday's report is the latest sign that Beijing is intent on promoting use of domestic information technology amid concerns about U.S. spying and the indictment of five Chinese military officers on cyber espionage charges.
Still, Eric Johnson, dean of the business school at Vanderbilt University and an expert on cyber security issues, said the Chinese government's move is only a "symbolic one" and will have "little meaningful impact" on Symantec.
Chinese technology corporations like Huawei Technologies Co Ltd [HWT.UL] and ZTE Corp have grown into sophisticated global conglomerates in past years, and some analysts speculate that Beijing is promoting its local industry standard-bearers on its own home turf at the expense of U.S. corporations.
Chinese state media have lashed out at Google Inc, Apple Inc and other U.S. technology companies, calling on Beijing "to punish severely the pawns" of the U.S. government for monitoring China and stealing secrets.
U.S. tech companies such as Microsoft Corp and Qualcomm Inc have recently faced anti-trust investigations, while IBM Corp and Cisco Systems Inc have reported declining sales in China.

Lights for Front Entrance, Over Garage, Post (Pics)
We bumped out the front of our house 5' last year and ended up with a new front door and front steps, among other things. I am turning now to outside lighting, would appreciate input on choices.
Here's a closeup:
The room to the left of the front door is DS's bedroom. My thoughts are to place sconces to the left and right of the door. There is 13'' of space on both sides. Lights would be on a dimmer and I'd prefer not to have too much light (so DS doesn't feel like he lives next to a runway).
Farther back:
I also need to add lighting between the garage doors, and on a post, farther down the driveway. I have struggled finding lights which match, which I like, for all three places.
(Landscaping is next... ignore large rhododendron, that will be moved this Spring). From Drop Box
Here's the post in a shot from the end of the driveway; how house used to look. Wow, seeing the pictures next to eachother for the first time, I feel like we've gone from Charming to Cold. Hopefully, it's just because the exterior is so bare looking. Other thoughts?
I'm also thinking that I don't need to match the front entrance fixtures to the others (because they are fairly far away), but will match the one mounted between the garage doors, and the post light.
At entranceway, should I match the door hardware with the fixture color?
Here are lights I like; your thoughts and comments are appreciated.
What a nice addition to your home - you must be very happy to have all that extra space!
The only lights I like are the first ones. Two and four feel too modern. Three and six feel beach cottage to me. Five is craftsman.
Have you considered having lighting (like recessed lights of some kind) put in the overhang by the door, instead of trying to squeeze in lights on either side? I think it will do a better job of lighting the whole recessed entry, washing it in warm light.
Also wondered if you had considered adding shutters to the two lower windows on the left side, and perhaps a window box under the window on the right by the garage?
Thanks les917. With respect to light#1, should I go with the antique nickel (and try to match hardware of the door) or the warmer, oil rubbed finish?
Recessed, or overhead lighting is a possibility but I was concerned about too much light shining into the bedroom to the left. Did you really mean recessed (i.e., flush with ceiling)?
The windows on the left wing used to have shutters; these were removed during the renovation. I love the new trim work detail and am not sure we'll be adding shutters back. (Then again, they would be white, which would be a different look than before).
Window box - yes, in the plans!
Yes, recessed. I think it adds a warm glow to the space without seeing a specific light source - kind of makes the whole entry area glow at night.
Given the house colors and the hardware on the door, I would be more inclined to go with the antique nickel.
We have a good number of recessed crees, inside, so I am familiar with the concept and how they're installed.
However, for some reason, I am having a hard time finding pictures of outside recessed lights. les917 / anyone -- please recommend models/brands.
Also -- any other comments/suggestions regarding the outside lights? Should I be posting in the lighting forum?
We have the exterior recessed soffit lights on the front of our house and I love them. I once heard a contractor refer to them as moon lights...which is a good name since they give off a soft glow yet produce more than enough light to see the area. The max wattage on ours is 40W. Our entry is 20'+ wide and we have 3 lights there, and I believe there are 8-10 lights over the double garage doors.
There are many types/styles of soffit lights available so you may want to go into a lighting store and discuss the options. I know that LED lights are now available and we're considering switching over to those but I haven't researched how that light looks compared to the incandescent we now have. It would definitely be less wattage! If you put in the soffit lights, be sure to install timer switches.
For DS's window you may have to get some blackout lining.
Gotta ask.......why didn't they put in outlets for the lights when they built the addition?
Here is a link that might be useful:
I hit the summit button too soon! Wanted to add that I have to agree with Les that lights on each side of the door may look squeezed into place. I would bring home one light, have someone hold it up and see what you think before you start cutting into the walls.
Another option would be to add a lamp post close to the entrance when you do your landscaping. If you decide on an additional landscape lighting, I suggest you talk thru this with your electrician so he can wire 'for the future' when he's out there. It'll save you $$ in the long run.
Also, I would place the garage lights to the right and left of the garage doors......no light between the doors.
Good idea about holding a light up in place. I like the idea of lights as 'eye candy', but I agree it doesn't make sense if they are too big. Electrician (and carpenter and plumber...) is DH ... part of the reason why we're doing things in stages.
I like your idea of lights to the right and left of the garage doors - hadn't thought of that.
Any feedback on lighting choices/colors? Thanks!
It depends on your taste, but since you have a traditional home, I'd use more traditional/transitional light fixtures. Personally, I wouldn't use the pewter since I think its color will disappear against your gray siding. Either a dark bronze or black would show up nicely.
Check out LampsPlus for ideas on the entrance. If you have the height, consider a hanging light. If not, look at their 'close to ceiling' lights.
There should be no problem mixing the darker metals with your door hardware.
The link below shows just one style I'd look at, or their Salisbury collection.
Here is a link that might be useful: Ext. lights
Your door is beautiful, so a light would just detract from that IMO. We have 4 recessed lights in our porch area. It's a clean look and good light. Also agree to have 2 lights on the garage. Great job on the addition. Landscaping w/color will warm your house right up.
All - thanks so much for all the input, it is greatly appreciated.
atkillery -- thanks for the lights, check off at least one thing I don't need to return :) V. useful to have the visuals. But where is DH holding them up?
In the front entrance area, we will do either sconces (or far more probably, thanks to input from les917, annz and jab65) recessed lights.
I think no to the hanging light -- not a lot of height there.
marti8a and jab65 -- many thanks for the kind words. It's been a long process. I especially appreciate the reminder that landscaping will warm the house up, but know there are many other things we can do. (I love GW!)
I honestly cannot define what a traditional/transitional light fixture is. But I can say I LOVE this fixture for the garage (both sides) as well as for the post in the driveway.
Am I too far off base on this one? Presenting... lucky number 7...
There are two glass options available with number 7, natural bronze with an amber glass -shown in the picture of the lights mounted on the wall, and also natural bronze with a clear glass (shown lower). I prefer the amber glass, but would like input from the forum - which do you think would look better? Thanks, oldbat2be.
Although No. 7 is lovely, it might be a little European rustic for your home.
However, if you go with it and if it takes incandescent bulbs, the clear glass would be a better match for your home, which is really more of an American style than European. The incandescent bulbs will give the light a nice warm glow at night. Clear bulbs rather than frosted will show off the texture of glass better.
Thanks tinker_2006 and Chibimimi. I really do want that nice warm glow at night, which is why I was leaning towards the amber glass, which is what I thought was pictured on the walls. Now that I look more closely, most pictures of the amber glass look like this, unlit, which is not what I would prefer:
Now that I look more closely, I see that only the clear glass is offered with the candle bulbs (as displayed in the picture).
I think I'd better call Troy-Lighting for clarification. Chibimimi, you may have saved me from a costly mistake (i.e, 20% restocking fee).
Your beautiful house is just asking for Hubbardton Forge lights - They have a couple models which should solve your light issues - warning - they do come with a price tag!!
I picked out 2 possible ideas - but can't import from the catalog, so will have to send the link
Both lights are dark sky complaint - so less light pollution.
I like the first style for your house - for the porch, you could one on each side of the door (medium or large and allow the light to go up and down as light pollution not as much of a problem on the porch.
Then at the garage - go for the matching version but put on the top cover to prevent light from going up.
http://www.hubbardtonforge.com/ProductsInfo.cfm?Design=304903 I think the dark smoke would look stunning on your house.
Here is another dark sky compliant - I don't like it as much for your house
Just a caution on LED outside - if you have snow - the reflection off the snow lights up the world!!! The city put in LED street lights and the first night I looked out and thought it was just dusk - but was 9:00 at night in the winter!!
HF also has traditional lights but based on your concern about the bedroom next to the porch - I thought these would work.
If you already have ORB finish, I would match with the HF.
I would not worry about "matching" the post light - This is where you could bring out the house style.
Good luck!
PS - We put in the first one and they look great on our house and lots of compliments. I don't have any pictures yet but soon.
Thanks a2gemini. I definitely see that the first product you linked, could work, but I'm still waffling.
Here is latest moodboard. Can anyone suggest lights which I have not considered, but which would work well over the garage doors (one each over each bush, on both sides of the garage).
Last -- size? What guidelines do you have for size? This is space available, here.
Oldbat - How did you get the HF to copy - I finally did a print out and scanned it in.
I used the large one on the front porch and the medium by the garage. I could have used 2 large ones by the garage but cost was a factor (we also have 2 on the deck and one by the side garage door)
We put the house number under the one light by the garage so people could find us - when on the front porch under the vestibule - no one could find us.
Good luck!
oldbat - thanks for the tip. I am pretty good on the computer but it just wouldn't copy - it might be a mac thing but will try again (recent switch to mac)
Yes, the lights grow on you. I wasn't sure when I ordered them but everyone loves them.
Here is a photo of the garage with 2 medium lights
Close up of the garage light
Vestibule light - I turned it on to show the up/down lighting of this one - but it was still light outside. This one is the large light
Good luck on your decision
You have a beautiful home and I love your woodsy setting. You are getting great recommendations on lighting, but I would like to make one other suggestion. When you do your window box and perhaps shutters (I like the idea of white), seriously consider removing the two shrubs flanking the garage. They just appear too rigid/boring for such a pretty setting. Replace them with planters with colorful annuals to add some color - potted mums would be yummy in the fall. Your new garage lights can shine on them!
oldbat - I know the feeling - I am in the middle of a kitchen remodel and struggling on the backsplash and then GC wants kitchen color to paint - I am going to tell him Whoa Nelly and wait until the cabinets and backsplash are in first!
Good luck on your lighting!
I do like Tuesday's suggestion. We used to have the same shrubs and we pulled them out. I am putting new items in this spring but not quite there yet - so it looks a little bare.
Not sure if these ones have been considered -- but I like this collection in both finishes ....
Here is a link that might be useful: bellacor.com -- another suggestion
This is probably going to be no help, but I just have to say I love what you did with the front door.
This will be of even less help, but what if you did the same thing over your garage door as annkathryn has over hers.
Here is a link that might be useful: annkathryn's garage
Thanks Daisychain01 - you just made my evening with your compliment about the front door! Annkathyrn's garage looks beautiful; I'll have to study it more closely.
Teacats -- thanks so much for the link! I hadn't seen that one and will add it to the list. I love getting ideas from other GWers.
I love your front door! I like number 1 in the darkest finish and number 5. :) Your door is kinda craftsman looking to me so I think 5 would look good. I wouldn't do silver with the grey cause i think they would blend in too much :) Your transformation looks awesome!

Something Inspirational
You can shed tears that she is gone,
or you can smile because she has lived.
You can close your eyes and pray that she'll com back
or you can open your eyes and see what she's left.
Your heart can be empty because you can't see her,
or you can be full of the love you shared.
You can turn your back on tomorrrow and live yesterday,
or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday.
You can remember her and only that she's gone,
or you can cherish her memory and let it live on.
You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back,
or you can do what she'd want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on.
I know it's hard to lose a loved one, but they would want us to go on living and I feel we do a dis-service to their memory if we choose to die emotionally and spiritually when they die.

I applied through other source. The process took 3 days – interviewed at MassMutual in January 2014.Interview Details
A local agency partner found my resume that I posted on an internet job board and called me. The initial correspondence of a phone call and subsequent text messages were a bit unusual to me (who has no experience in sales). Fresh out of college with my masters, I decided to come in and speak the MassMutual agent. Mostly, the MassMutual agent spoke about how the firm uses the software LEAP and he wants me to sell this product. The agent seemed very excited about this new program (LEAP, which is a multifaceted cash flow manager) and tells me all the great shining things about the products, company, and opportunities (I'd be making a lot of money -- he just didn't say when I would be making that money. Plus, all commission based pay) - rough sledding for a recent college grad with some to pay for a student loan. This informational interview proceeded for about an hour. Overall, I perceived the local agent as a person that is not a greedy insurance peddler, but I only had one meeting. I was offered to start right away.Interview Questions
Reasons for Declining
- Very unorthodox meeting (wouldn't even call it an interview). Basically, I was given a brief tutorial about the software and was given tutorial of the agency philosophy. Then, I was asked my thoughts and what did I expect. Answer Question
