NSIS Systems Launches Recovery-as-a-Service (RaaS) Based on VirtualSharp Software
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) MCLEAN, VA -- (Marketwire) -- 01/28/13 -- VirtualSharp Software, the leading provider of next generation automated Disaster Recovery solutions for private and public clouds, today announced that NSIS Systems' outsourcing/hosting business FailSafeSolutions has based its RaaS platform on VirtualSharp's ReliableDR so that SMBs can protect their vital applications and guarantee recovery without having to invest in their own secondary data center.
"The new partnership with VirtualSharp Software has provided NSIS Systems the ability to provide cost effective Disaster Recovery for the VMware Virtual Platform," said Stephan Buys, Managing Director of NSIS Systems. "VirtualSharp's ReliableDR is a great product which provides the end user with an easy-to-use interface to manage their Disaster Recovery setup. The continuous and automated testing of the recovery virtual machines ensures that the end users always have functional recovery points to fail over to. NSIS Systems is looking forward to a long term partnership with VirtualSharp." Using VirtualSharp's ReliableDR, NSIS Systems' FailSafeSolutions can now offer companies a safe infrastructure within their data centers and ensure a fully automated Disaster Recovery process from the infrastructure components all the way up the application stack. As ReliableDR constantly tests and measures against the service level agreements defined, not only will applications be brought back up successfully by FailSafeSolutions' service, but they will also fully meet the contractual agreements with their customers. ReliableDR enforces recovery point objectives and predicts recovery time actuals at the application level and gives customers continuous insight in the status of Disaster Recovery readiness of their applications via a web portal without the need to install anything on-premise.
"We chose the innovative Disaster RaaS platform provided by NSIS Systems because it enables us to have peace of mind that our applications would be recoverable in case of outage," said Willem du Toit, Financial Controller at STAR Capital Partners.
"The Disaster Recovery platform provided by NSIS Systems ensures that our ability to recover is in line with our Business Continuity policy, and that an issue with our production applications would not lead to a business critical impact," said Stephen Cook, IT Manager at Bishopsgate Institute.
"We're very pleased with NSIS Systems joining our fast growing Cloud Services Providers (CSP) community," said Michael Hillewaert, VP of International Sales at VirtualSharp Software. "We developed our CSP solution with the needs of service providers in mind to improve the reliability and simplify the processes of RaaS.

A.P. Hill summary: A.P. Hill was a confederate General in the American Civil War most known for commanding the "Light Division," and fighting with Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson. Ambrose Powell Hill (1825 – 1863) was the youngest child with six siblings to parents Thomas and Fannie Russell Baptist Hill. They named their son after his uncle Ambrose Powell Hill and Captain Ambrose Powell who fought Indians and was a friend of President James Madison. While attending the United States Military Academy, he made numerous friends with future generals, but did not get along with his future commander Thomas J. Jackson. After his graduation in 1847, he was sent to fight the Mexican War with the 1st U.S. Artillery. The war was nearing its end though, and afterward, he served in the Seminole wars. After that he was employed on the coastal survey from 1855 -1860. In March 1861, Hill resigned from the U.S. Army just before the Civil War broke out.
A.P. Hill Enters The Civil War
Hill joined the 13th Virginia Infantry Regiment as colonel. During his battles he soon rose through the ranks with numerous promotions. By May 1862 he was a major general and in command of the Army of Northern Virginia by Robert E. Lee. Lee recognised Hills' leadership skills, aggressiveness and bravery. Hill called his division the 'Light Division' and his soldiers nicknamed him 'Little Powell'. He took over command from General Stonewall Jackson when Jackson was killed in 1863. Hill suffered many illnesses (some reports say he suffered venereal disease related illnesses) during the Civil War. During the siege of Petersburg, after recuperating with his family, Hill returned to Petersburg in 1865. It was here where he was shot by Union soldiers and killed in action.

Anaheim A typical Walt Disney Co. hotel worker scrubs floors and hangs fresh towels for about $11 an hour - a wage considered "very low income" by the state in qualifying for housing benefits.
But city officials, business leaders and affordable-housing advocates are at odds about where these workers should live and who should pay for the low-cost homes that are lacking regionwide.
The affordable-housing issue has come to the forefront as the City Council debates a proposal to allow new residences in the Anaheim Resort district around Disneyland - a plan that prompted Disney to protest, file a lawsuit and launch a ballot measure to discourage housing development in the district. The council is set to vote Tuesday.
Business officials say Disney's role is to create jobs, not build homes. Affordable-housing advocates say Disney should help its workers and the city with the housing needs it creates.City negotiations
Anaheim officials have asked that Disney pay for new homes as its theme parks and hotels have expanded.
In the mid-1990s, city officials asked Disney to provide 500 housing units for low-income households as part of negotiations to upgrade the resort, including the addition of Disney's California Adventure.
Disney officials said they preferred to give money for housing because the company is "not a residential builder," said Rob Doughty, a Disneyland Resort spokesman.
Disney contributed $5 million of bond funds to "neighborhood improvements/housing." The council signed off on the agreement.
"We lived up to our end of the bargain," Doughty said.
But just a fraction of that went toward housing: About $1 million was used to buy about 16 apartments in the former Jeffrey-Lynne neighborhood that were renovated into subsidized units across from the Disneyland Hotel. The rest of the money went to neighborhood upgrades — lighting, trees, irrigation and land acquisition.
Former Mayor Tom Daly, who was on the council at the time, said housing was a minor issue during negotiations, but that he and the council secured funds for Jeffrey-Lynne.
Councilwoman Lorri Galloway, who later joined the council, thinks Disney gave too little.
"Disney had no responsibility whatsoever and did nothing," Galloway said. "Now they are saying ⦠we don't want any residential in the resort."
In 2000, when Disney brought up the idea of a third theme park, city officials planned to ask Disney for an even bigger contribution for housing, city documents show.
The city estimated that at least 600 more employees would live in Anaheim if a third theme park were built, so the city drafted plans to ask Disney for $30 million to build 600 units.

My picture threads consist of images I have taken that focus on the architecture, landscape architecture, planning, design, and theming of the facilities highlighted. They may also contain short descriptions and commentary, but will not focus on construction progress or special events or memorabilia or food selections or my traveling companions. Hopefully these threads are a good introduction for those who have not seen these places yet. All killer, no filler!
Japan, The American Adventure, and Italy photographed in February 2008 and January 2010:
I have artificially subdivided the 11 pavilions of World Showcase at EPCOT into three threads because this land is too large to cover thoroughly with one and eleven separate threads would be too many. This thread focuses on the three adjacent pavilions on the central part of the land. EPCOT is divided into two lands, Future World and World Showcase, the latter being a collection of 11 pavilions that each focus on one country. They are each composed of a unique layout of shops and restaurants housed in one or more buildings that represent their homelands' heritage architectural styles and landmarks; in addition, some of them feature attractions like rides or theater shows or art/craft galleries. They form a complete circle around a large central lake, each oriented toward the lake, where a nightly show of fireworks and lights called IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth is showcased. All are wonderfully detailed areas that are a joy to explore.
This area is dominated by several tall recreations of buildings fronted by rather typical raked gravel and koi pond gardens. On the lake, a copy of the Miyajima Torii gate and a few pine-dotted small islands set the stage, while across the walkway the Goju-no-to Pagoda pierces the sky; both are off limits to entry. Set above the koi pond is Yakitori House, a casual restaurant set in a tea house with an outdoor dining terrace next to a waterfall. A large rectangular two-story building houses the Mitsukoshi Teppan Edo and Tokyo Dining rooms on the top floor, while the bottom is an extensive series of rooms for the Mitsukoshi Department Store, a smaller version of the famous 400 year-old chain in Japan. The backdrop of the pavilion is the scenic and massive-appearing Shirasagigi Castle, with a gateway guarded by Shogun statues and a bridge over a moat leading to the doorway. Once inside, there is a small gallery for art exhibits, and another entrance to the back of the department store, an interior letdown for such a promising edifice!
The central pavilion of World Showcase is different from the others in several ways. It is on axis with the entrance to the land, which is in turn on axis with Future World's central core. It is the pavilion for the 'host country.' It is a very formal and relatively simple building, as opposed to the complicated and varied composition of the other pavilions. Also, it is dominated by its attraction rather than its shops and restaurants. The symmetrical layout begins with America Gardens Theatre, an outdoor live show amphitheater with a poorly designed covered stage structure that blocks the view of the lake. Strangely, an antique sailing ship is moored in front of it on the lake. In front of the theatre is a square with a fountain basin, on axis with the grand entrance to the attraction, which takes up most of the pavilion's Federal style space. The attraction waiting area is just inside, in a two-story rotunda-topped hall with the small American Heritage Gallery at one side for exhibits. This leads to an escalator hall draped with flags that leads to the entrance to the Liberty Theatre for the fantastic show called The American Adventure, a combination of film projections and stage sets with robotic figures of famous Americans that tells the story of the nation. After exiting, there is a counter service cafe called Liberty Inn at one side of the building whose indoor dining area has the feeling of a conservatory; its symmetrically-located counterpart on the other side is a shop.
Although its front facade is a convincing recreation of part of the Piazza San Marco and Doge's Palace in Venice, this pavilion is the weakest in World Showcase and only features a few unimpressive shops and a formally decorated restaurant; it has an outdoor terrace piazza set back from the entrance, but it is almost entirely contained with low walls and a fountain niche on two sides, leaving it to feel unfinished. Currently a new casual food location is being built on one side that promises to help extend the atmosphere and interest. Despite these shortcomings, it is still a pleasant area and the Campanile is certainly an effective landmark in the panorama of the pavilions.

Plot Summary:
Part One: On November 26, 1956, Fidel Castro sails to Cuba with eighty rebels. One of those rebels is Ernesto "Che" Guevara, an Argentine doctor who shares a common goal with Fidel Castro - to overthrow the corrupt dictatorship of Fulgencio Batista. Che proves indispensable as a fighter, and quickly grasps the art of guerrilla warfare. As he throws himself into the struggle, Che is embraced by his comrades and the Cuban people. The film tracks Che's rise in the Cuban Revolution, from doctor to commander to revolutionary hero. Part Two: After the Cuban Revolution, Che is at the height of his fame and power. Then he disappears, re-emerging incognito in Bolivia, where he organizes a small group of Cuban comrades and Bolivian recruits to start the great Latin American Revolution. The story of the Bolivian campaign is a tale of tenacity, sacrifice, idealism, and of guerrilla warfare that ultimately fails, bringing Che to his death. Through this story, we come to understand how Che remains a symbol of idealism and heroism that lives in the hearts of people around the world.

Hyatt review
Location was within walking distance to most places in downtown. Only the pool was being renovated but that forced me to visit the nearby islands. Doormen were knowledgeable and helpful in directing me to local spots and restaurants.
The seafood at Sedco square is much more reasonable than the bigger places for the same quality.
Great Hotel and Friendly Staff
The staff were very friendly and could not do enough for you. the rooms are very well furnished and comfortuble. The on-going refurbishment tends to get on your nerves after a while and due to these works the pool is out of use - but they will
supply transport down to the Meridian free of charge. There is no beach near by however for @ 40 Ritzel return you can go to one of the near by islands which is well worth the effort
Night foodhall is very good value for money and is a real good expierence @ 10 Ritzel by taxi and food is @ 100 per person
Everything we expected.
We (my brother and I, age 21 & 19) arrived on the morning of 23 Jan for a 3 night stay in Kota Kinabalu. We booked the Hyatt due to the cheap price (US$60/night), most probably so cheap because it is currently undergoing renovations.
We expected
the renovations (thanks to their website) and were prepared for it. For the price we paid, I am definitely not in a position to complain about the very audible drilling that took place from 9am - 4.30pm. Neither am I complaining about the slight tinge of "renovation smell" in the corridor. However, the room, while dated, was actually very clean and well maintained.
Service was definitely what you would expect at any other Hyatt establishment. Absolutely no complains there.
To sum it up, if you are planning to stay here from now till end-2010 (when their renovations are slated to be completed), do expect inconveniences due to the renovations. But, I believe that they have reduced their rates for this period, so its up to you if you want to save some money and put up with all that.
Should you want to pay more, definitely try the "Le Meridien", which is located in a slightly more central location and is not in renovations.
If you are in Kota Kinabalu, definitely do not miss having dinner at Sedco. Just tell the taxi driver "Sedco" (pronounced sad-co) and he should know. It is less than 10 mins from anywhere within the city area. Once there, you have 4 restaurants to choose from, all are similarly priced and of similar quality. Just pick the one you find most attractive. The word of the day here: "seafood". Enjoy!

Neb's Abdullah, Gregory named B10 Players to Watch
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — A media panel has selected running back Ameer Abdullah and defensive end Randy Gregory of Nebraska to the Big Ten Players to Watch list for this season.
The list of 10 players — five each from the East and West divisions — was announced Monday before the conference's football media day in Chicago.
Abdullah ran for almost 1,700 yards last season and is the top returning rusher in the Big Ten. Gregory led the conference with 10 ½ sacks in 2013. Both are on watch lists for several national awards this year.

Patrice Bergeron back on the ice for Bruins practice
|05.16.11 at 11:17 am ET
In a sign that he may be ready to return for Game 2 Tuesday night against the Lightning, Patrice Bergeron returned to full practice Monday morning with the rest of the Bruins. Bergeron has missed the last week – including Boston's 5-2 loss in Game 1 of the Eastern finals against Tampa Bay Saturday night – with a mild concussion, suffered when he was hit by Philadelphia's Claude Giroux on May 6.
Bergeron was one of four forwards wearing a white sweater, joining first-liners David Krejci, Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic.
Before practice, Bergeron came on the ice and skated in front of general manager Peter Chiarelli before participating in power play and penalty kill drills.
He was then cleared by the coaching staff to join in full practice. Bergeron participated in a light skate before Saturday morning's pregame skate at the Garden and skated again Sunday before being cleared for Monday morning's practice.
On Sunday, coach Claude Julien said Bergeron would not return to game action until the forward was considered back to 100 percent.
Bergeron skated with the power play until then worked on penalty kill drills against the Bruins' second power play unit. Bergeron then took a shift with his normal linemates of Brad Marchand and Mark Recchi before leaving the ice at about 11:25, while the Bruins continued practicing. Bergeron was on the ice for approximately an hour.

The Cold Steel Rubber R1 Military Classic Training Knife lets you safely practice with one of Cold Steel's most popular knife designs. This rubber training version of the R1 Military Classic is carefully fashioned to look as realistic as possible, so it can be effectively used in solo practice training drills, disarm drills, and demonstrations - and any other activity where you want a reasonably close approximation of realism, but not the extreme danger and risk associated with an actual knife. The Cold Steel Military Classic Rubber Training Knife features a Santoprene rubber blade that is soft enough to prevent the likelihood of most bodily injury.
NOTE: The Cold Steel R1 Training Knife does have a level of firmness that might cause injury to the face or the eyes. Appropriate eye protection or a fencing mask should be worn at all times when using a Cold Steel rubber training knife.

There was a movie about Harry Kendall Thaw and his wife, the beautiful Evelyn Nesbitt Thaw, entitled, "The Girl in the Red Velvet Swing," made many years ago. Thaw shot three bullets and killed architectural-genius Stanford White for being much too friendly with his wife. After a sensational trial he was sent to Mattewan State Hospital and nine years later he was released and acquitted of all charges. He was later sent to the mental ward of the Pennsylvania State Hospital after again being judged insane. Later on he secured his freedom once again and eventually bought Villa Marie Antoinette in Bolton Landing on the shore of Lake George, which had been built by Dr. William G. Beckers. He went there around 1942 to live the good life. His parties were famous and he was a big hit at the Sagamore Hotel where he left lavish tips.
Townspeople described him as "half crazy," but he was likable. Harry Thaw lived in Bolton for about 5 years before he died in 1947. I wonder if his life-sized wax replica still exists in some dusty, long forgotten storage warehouse.
Contentious court battle
George Brown, indicted on May 4, 1912 in Ballston Spa, for selling intoxicating liquors in Corinth, a "dry" town, was acquitted. The trial was bitterly contested.
Witnesses for the people testified to purchasing beer at the Brown Bottling Works in Corinth. The defense claimed that the liquid sold was malt mead which an expert testified was not a malt liquor, but contained a very small amount of alcohol.
Warrensburgh news
Another good soaking rain, which began the night of Nov. 6, 1912, helped to fill the ground with moisture for the needs of the coming season.
About three inches of snow fell in this vicinity Sunday night, Nov. 24 and Monday morning, Nov. 25, 1912 and traces of it still remain in the fields and shady places while in the sunny spots it has been converted to mud. Ten inches of snow fell in Johnsburgh.

Is there a special technique for painting a ceiling?
According to Consumer Reports, after removing dust and dirt, use a small sash brush with flagged or split ends to cut in a strip of 2 inches or so around the edges of the ceiling. When choosing a brush, note that synthetic bristles tend to hold latex-based paints better and apply it more evenly than natural bristles. Then switch to a roller with an extension pole. Start in a corner and work across the shorter dimension of the room. For even coverage, paint a "W" or "M" pattern about 3 feet wide with the roller, then fill in the gaps. (The process works for walls, too.)
What is cacotopia?
Cacotopia (commonly called "dystopia") is an imagined place where government is of the worst, and the opposite of the ideal commonwealth which Sir Thomas More (1516) placed on his imaginary island Utopia ('No-where'). It is a fictional society, usually portrayed as existing in a future time, where the conditions of life are extremely bad because of deprivation, oppression, or terror. Divergent is considered dystopian fiction. The synopsis of the plot recounts a world in a future Chicago where 16-year-old Beatrice Prior must choose among five predetermined factions to define her identity for the rest of her life, a decision made more difficult when she discovers that she is an anomaly who does not fit into any one group, and that the society she lives in is not perfect after all. The Oxford English Dictionary supplied this definition.
What would a $20 item bought in 1914 cost in 2014?
I used the U.S. Inflation Calculator (wwwlusinflationcalculator.com) to find this answer. If you bought an item for $20 in 1914, the same item would cost you about $476.50 in 2014. That is an inflation rate of 2282.5 percent.

Otago Regional Council environmental monitoring and
operations director Jeff Donaldson said staff checked on the
plant's emissions and found it to be complying with its
resource consent conditions.
A recent audit of those requirements found it was only
emitting to air half the level it was allowed to under its
It was difficult to tell how much of the smoke came from the
plant and how much from nearby chimneys, he said.
No-one had complained to the council. Weather conditions such
as a lack of wind and an inversion layer could also make
smoke more apparent.

The phrase "one and done" has echoed across the college basketball landscape a lot in recent years, especially in Kentucky. It refers to players who come to a school, spend one good year on the court, and then leave to the professional ranks. Whether or not that's good for the game is best saved for another discussion.
However, there was a college basketball player about a hundred miles north of here who gave new meaning to "one and done."
Signs of life returned to Waterford Park Friday night and Saturday morning after major flooding had caused the park to close for several days. Pictured are members of the Spencer County Soccer Asscociation's U6 Development Program playing a Saturday morning game. Weather has prevented the U6 players from practicing much, but the SCSA is moving on with its season despite the uncooperative conditions. A lot of work by volunteers made play possible.
Spring turkey hunting season opens Saturday, April 18.
According to the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife:
• A person may use a breech-loading or muzzle-loading shotgun no smaller than .410 and no larger than 10 gauge to take a wild turkey.
• A person shall not mimic the sound of a turkey in an area open to turkey hunting and where turkeys are reasonably expected to be present from March 1 until the opening of the youth turkey season, and from the close of the youth turkey season until the opening of the general turkey season.

Time Machine encryption
I won't get my copy until later today, but I thought I would ask this question as I can't see it listed anywhere here ...
Time Machine is a security *plus* in the same way that all backups are. Without encryption turned on however, it's actually a security *minus* because it creates an easily readable, detailed, time-stamped, trail of all your actions at the computer. For that reason I won't be using it unless the encryption also works well.
However, it seems that the system comes with it turned off by default, and I was wondering if anyone had turned on encryption and if there was a performance hit associated with that.
|Oct 26, 2007, 11:46 AM
As far as I know, there is no option to encrypt Time Machine backups.
Maybe you can create a dmg and use that on an external drive.

In earlier seeds there was an option to encrypt the images, however it is now gone. Too many things got nerfed in timemachine before release.
|Oct 26, 2007, 02:16 PM
*secure* backup would be nice
I am guessing that Homeland Security is loving it though.
Let's hope this was just removed for technical reasons and will be back. It would be nice to have a secure backup feature.
|Oct 26, 2007, 02:26 PM
I am pretty sure many of those things they removed from Timemachine right before release was due to bugs or other major hurtles.

this presentation on FileVault. Some key points:
The first means one is relying on Apple's competence and trust that they've not incorporated a backdoor or non-trivial intentional weakness; regardless of Apple's good reputation, one cannot rely on such promises without auditing.
Anyway, *not tried it*, but consider that FileVault just produces a big fat DMG, so either Time Machine has special handling for it (and the idea that the "special handling" is to copy the unencrypted content is scary, but I guess it might happen ;-), or you're simply backing up a huge DMG every hour.

I was referring to all the recent reviews of Leopard that have been mentioning Time Machine as a "security feature" since it backs up your work and therefore makes it "more secure" in general.
It just seems obvious to me that unless the Time Machine disk and the process of sending data to it is encrypted, Time Machine is actually a way of revealing more information about your files and is thus has the effect of decreasing security.
For instance, if you use Time Machine for a year the data will easily fit onto one average HD bought for the purpose. Someone stealing/accessing that HD not only has access to all your files, they now have access to what you were doing with them, and when, on an hourly basis over the period of the entire year.
This means the Time Machine drive has information on what files you moved to what folders at what times and on what days. Presumably the file would be archived based on the "last accessed dates" that change with file views etc. Time Machine potentially creates a veritable Cornucopia of detailed personal information for law enforcement agencies (hurrah?), and thus a security "hole" for the average user who probably doesn't realise this.
Our average user is also not going to know enough to get into the guts of Time Machine and exclude particular files or folders etc. It will be a sort of "magic copy" for most users that they will never understand enough to alter the parameters in any meaningful way. Therefore, until the security of the data is protected in a similarly "magic" way, you have really taken the ability to manage their own security out of the average users hands. You have created a security hole that they cannot easily plug themselves and that they may not even be aware exists.
|Oct 26, 2007, 06:06 PM
A horribly convoluted sequence that might work for secure local backups: enable the local machine's AFP server and choose a local AFP mount as a backup drive; then once it's created the DMG container that, IIRC, it uses for remote backups, try converting it to an encrypted DMG. If lucky, the system will just ask for the password when it needs access and TM will continue as normal.
Mind you, if I recall correctly about a big sparse DMG just being used for remote TM backups, I don't see why support by the remote server of magic new HFS+ hard links, i.e. AFP calls which implement them, is technically necessary - to the server, you're just updating one big container. Maybe it isn't.
|Oct 26, 2007, 06:08 PM
It totally rules out using a central server to backup a number of machines to. Now, instead of buying a few xserves to handle 80+ people, we are going to have to purchase 80+ external drives ....
I don't understand why they changed this.
|Oct 27, 2007, 12:48 AM
Generally speaking you *never* want to encrypt backups. Backups are about maintaining data integrity, not security. One bit flip on the encrypted disk and your backups are toast.
If you are in such a sensitive environment that physical access to the backup system is a problem, you should consider moving them offsite to a secure location.
|Oct 27, 2007, 09:50 AM
|Nov 5, 2007, 07:50 PM
To be clear all of the below is in reference to encrypting backups. I'm all for encrypting as much of any primary device as possible.
I can accept that there is a min/max procedure to be done though.
In terms of securing data and having effective backups, one must evaluate under which circumstances total/partial data loss is acceptable.
If it is never acceptable to loose data willingly (the assumption I was working under), then encryption is simply not an option.
In the case that data loss is preferable to data capture, I would argue a destructive failsafe (or series of redundant failsafes) on the backup device is preferable to encryption.
Now if you are worried about your destructive measures being countered, you must also be worried about having the passphrase for the encrypted device extracted from whomever is unfortunate enough to know it (unless you plan on going the cyanide pill route ).
Fundamentally, data security and data integrity are two different things, often with opposing goals. Being effective in both can be tricky. You seem to lean towards the security side whereas I lean towards the integrity side.

Is it possible to back up to a encrypted disk image created using Disk Utility.
Perhaps saving the password in keychain so Time machine can always access it to store the latest back ups on it and the user not having to enter the password every time the disk image is opened.
|Apr 9, 2009, 01:49 AM
In theory it should work, but I'm not sure if Time Machine lets you select a disk image to back up to. It should, but Apple may have deliberately programmed it to not accept disk images.
Can anybody confirm?
Also: can SuperDuper backup to a disk image?

|Oct 4, 2009, 06:32 AM
Hmm, no Time Machine won't let you select a mounted disk-image, otherwise an encrypted read/write image would be ideal
Where does Time Machine store its preferences? Maybe it could be entered manually?
I found the com.apple.TimeMachine.plist file, and it appears to identify the target volume by the BackupAlias field, however it stores the value as "data" like:
Time Machine won't even let you select the a disk-image volume to back-up data from, so I can't just add it and copy the entry

Aha! I found this guide:
As it says, just create an encrypted .sparsebundle with the correct name (MachineName_MACAddress) on the top level of the target drive, and Time Machine will back-up into it, with whatever encryption you specified. Don't forget to the name the volume the image contains as "Backup of MachineName", or Time Machine will complain the image could not be accessed. In both names, MachineName would be replaced by the name of your machine (in my case "MacPro") which you can get from the Sharing panel in system preferences, and MACAddress is the MAC address of your primary ethernet port (en0) which you can find from network utility, remove the separators (hyphens or colons) from the number.
Oh, I should add the note that the image needs to be mounted when Time Machine begins (since it's encrypted Time Machine won't open it automatically). However, you must select the drive the image exists on as the target-drive, not the image's volume. So if your image is at /Volumes/BackupDrive/MyMac_1234567890.sparsebundle then you will mount the bundle first, then select /Volumes/BackupDrive as the target. Your sparebundle image will be given the time-machine icon, and back-up as normal.

|Oct 6, 2009, 03:23 AM
One further note; Time Machine attempts to unmount the image once the back-up is finished. For this reason I've placed another image inside mine, just an unencrypted, empty .sparseimage. When I log-in a simple shell-script runs which mounts my encrypted image first, then opens the image inside in order to prevent Time Machine from being able to unmount the secure image.
I then used the chflags command-line utility to hide both volumes so they don't clutter up my Finder.
Another solution if the drive is to be used by all users would be to use a system start-up script to mount the secure volume with the -notremovable flag, but you would need to add your pass-phrase to the command which would seem to defeat the point of encrypting the image. Since I only have one user on my machine anyway, then I'm perfectly happy to just use my keychain. I had originally intended to not use the keychain and just let the password box appear so I would have to enter it each time, but that doesn't appear to work with the shell script (which progresses to the next operation early and fails).

Truecrypt and Timemachine
I have a simpler, though only pontential, solution, as I have not tested it myself yet.
What about just making an encrypted Truecrypt (http://www.truecrypt.org/) volume in the standard Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format and use it as a normal Time Machine volume? Truecrypt can encrypt entire disks, disk images and even startup volumes in standard Mac and FAT32 formats (at least the PC version does the equivalent). It uses AES and similar formats for encryption. To access Truecrypt volumes one needs either a password, which is either stored in Keychain or not at all, and/or a keyfile, which can be stored anywhere.
What do you think?
|Oct 15, 2009, 05:49 AM
Ah, it's a sensible idea, but I believe others have tried it, in another thread on this same topic (can't find it now) and found that Time Machine won't allow you to select it as a target.
If we could figure out what the binary string I posted is comprised of, then it may be possible to "force" volumes that Time Machine won't ordinarily recognise.

Why would you want to encrypt your backup, seems risky as you're playing with the stability/accessibility of your data. That is, if you lose the encryption key or something burps in the encryption/decryption your SOL.
Typically when you want to restore something, its because of a problem you don't need the added headache of trying to decrypt your backup and it not working while experiencing a problem that required you to restore a back up in the first place.
Why not use encrypted DMGs for your sensitive data and TM will back them up as is, so your sensitive data will sit in TM encrypted but your entire backup is not.

Reliability of encrypted backups
Although I fully understand the concern regarding the reliability of encrypted backups, the premiss here is that encrypted file systems or disk files are reliable enough for backups. If they are not, it can be seen almost an entirely as an isolated problem with the encryption method.
Filevault is a realtime encryption of files that are used all time, and thus encrypted and decrypted all the time. Even so, I have never experienced any reliability issues with it. Why should a backup, which is mostly never used, except for incremental addition and deletion of files, be any less reliable?
Also, using encryption keys is optional, and can themselves be backed up an infinite amount of times, mostly it is just a matter of storing or remembering passwords.
|Oct 16, 2009, 06:05 AM
I fully expect to remember the password for this
The images Time Machine supports are sparse-images, which as I understand it are allocated in blocks, and likely several of these are encrypted separately, rather than the whole thing being encrypted in a single-pass, so any error would only invalidate a single chunk, if even that much (there may be error-correction, I dunno).
Generally I'm not as concerned with the historic back-ups of Time Machine as I am of having a whole copy of my system (well, user folder) so I can re-install if my internal drives ever fail. I expect that the likelihood of my Time Machine backup becoming damaged, and me wanting a historical copy of a file is remote enough that it's unlikely to happen at all.
My current set-up is that I have a single internal volume, in three partitions. One is boot-camp which I don't care about, the other is my OS and applications/settings volume, which I encrypt parts of. The third is my "media storage" volume which is encrypted using TrueCrypt and only mounted on my successfully logging in, this contains a ton of a large images and movie files I've worked on.
I want all of these backed up to a single external volume, and I figure that having the whole thing encrypted is a heck of a lot easier than trying to do it all individually.

Can you work in a different occupation while collecting disability income payments?
Yes, if your policy has an "own occupation" definition of disability, you can work in a different occupation while collecting disability income benefits. However, the duties of your new occupation must be substantially and materially different.
There are 9 opinions so far. Add your comment now.
I am being encouraged to go onto the working disabled program to get better programs at my HMO. I have been on Long Term Disability with MetLife since 1988. Willl going onto one of these California working disabled programs cause trouble with my MetLife plan?
Thank You,
Since we have not had the opportunity to see your MetLife disability plan, it is impossible for us to answer this question. Generally speaking, if you earn any income, then it is likely that the income will offset the amount that MetLife has been paying you. Some MetLife LTD policies have a work incentive provision that allows you to work in a limited capacity and still collect either a reduced disability benefit amount or the entire benefit amount. As soon as you indicate to MetLife that you may be able to work, it will open up a can of worms.
I ended up on my LTD that I paid into through my employer due to being out with several surgeries, breast cancer, etc.. During which time I was also diagnosed with Lupus and RA. I am struggling with the acceptance within my own self that I cannot work anymore. I suffer dearly with any activity no matter how hard I try to strengthen myself. My LTD reads that if you were put on LT before the age of 60 maximum payment time is to the age of 65.
With that said, If my doctor concludes that I cannot return to work, does it have to be any work, or just that job?
My employer notified me that I will have to apply for SS, my policy states that they will not offset the amount until I am approved. And will owe back the overpaid amount. Does my policy have to pay me until the age of 65? Am I and will I be able to count on this income as long as I am medically declared unable to work?
I went to the gym to see if I could strengthen myself, I feel very paranoid I am being spied on. Just because I am in the gym trying. Does not mean that I do not suffer a huge set back that same day, and days after. Can this cause me to lose my benefits?
Im trying to see how much income I know I can rely on and for how long. Thank you all so much for your time and support to all of us.
You have asked a few questions.
1) The definition of disability in your policy will determine if you must be disabled from your pre-disability job or any job. You need to read your policy for the answer to this question.
2) If the disability company follows you to the gym and sees you doing exercise it would not be shocking for them to try to deny your benefits. If your doctor recommends that you go the gym as therapy then you should not have a problem. You do not need to be bedridden in order to collect disability.
If you would like assistance with handling your claim on a monthly basis, please contact us to discuss your options.
If you are on medical disability, and you try to work on a very limited basis, can you be denied disability?
The answer to this question depends on the language of your disability policy. A lot of disability insurance policies will allow you to work in a limited capacity and still receive benefits.
I receive a disability pension and I have a doctor's prescription note to exercise my legs due to poor balance and weak limbs. I walk on a treadmill and lift some weights to prevent falls and help coordination in the gym but yet I am so nervous that I will be "caught on tape" person collecting disability yet able to exercise in a gym. These news programs and media have been using disabled people to agitate their viewers. Please help me with this anxiety.
Thank you, Steve Stoch
If I could relieve your anxiety, I certainly would, but unfortunately no one can completely put your mind at ease. A disability carrier (or other similar entity) could definitely attempt to use any video surveillance against you. That being said, you are following your doctor's orders, and I would wager that the policy/pension requires you to be under the appropriate care of a physician. So the argument boils down to you "following doctor's orders."
Dear Attorney Jessup: Thank you for answering my question but can you be more specific when you say the argument boils down me "following doctors orders" is there a potential of me losing the argument? Or is it when a doctor writes a prescription note to go exercise his instruction over rules anything else or any accuser.
Thanks again.

There's more to Roy Lichtenstein than dots and comic books. Yes, the forbearer of the Pop movement is known for making subversive use of a mass-media aesthetic to create art that is informed, accessible, and fun all at once. But the celebrated painter was prolific. He produced a body of work that also included abstract landscapes, sculpture, and cheeky reinterpretations of classic artworks by Picasso and van Gogh. Criticized for reproducing the banal when he burst on the scene in the early '60s, time has proven Lichtenstein a master of his medium.
"Cloud And Sea" by Roy Lichtenstein. Unsigned Serigraph printed in 1989 from an edition size of 5000. Near mint condition: Very light signs of handling.
First edition of "Cloud and Sea, 1964" published by Museum Ludwig Koln, Dusseldorf, 1989. Not signed or numbered. Full margins, never framed, stored flat.

Nearly six months after announcing they'd be tying the knot, Jesse James and Kat Von D announced that they have ended their engagement.
Kat made the announcement on her
target="_blank">Twitter page, where she released the following
statement: "I am no longer w Jesse, and out of respect for him, his family and myself, that's all the info I'd like to share. Thanks for respecting that."
Meanwhile, James released a statement to target="_blank">People.com, citing the fact that she lives in Los Angeles and he lives in Austin with his three kids as a reason for their breakup. "I'm so sad because I really love her," he said. "The distance between us was just too much."
They had been planning a summer wedding to mark the one-year anniversary of their relationship.
Earlier this year, when they announced their plans to marry, they gushed about one another. "You know, sometimes the public and press gets it wrong," James said. "This is one of those times. 2010 was actually the best year of my life because I fell in love with my best friend. An amazing woman who stood behind me when the world turned their backs.
"I have never met anyone so kind and loving and committed to making the world a better place every day," he continued. "My love for her is beyond description. So honored that she said 'yes.' Growing old with her is going to be a f—in' blast!"
Von D, however, did mention the distance at the time. "There is no one else for me. He's the one," she said. "Having two places we call home will be good for now. In the end, home is where the heart is, and my heart's with him."
The couple began dating in the summer of 2010, shortly after James'
very public divorce from Oscar winner Sandra Bullock was finalized in June. James made headlines when it was reported shortly after Bullock's Oscar win that he had cheated on her.

City touts sewer warranty without facts
The bottom line is that insurance costs less than a warranty for each dollar of risk, from the consumer's perspective.
A warranty might make sense if a $4,000 repair would cause financial catastrophe for a homeowner. Then again, people in such fragile condition should probably cover their car and whole house before thinking about the sewer line.
Clearly, the city's endorsement is valuable for a company trying to mine this narrow niche.
Kearns, the city partnership manager, says SLWA was fully vetted and met standards of service quality. The company has deals with dozens of cities in other states.
Let's assume this is a strong company with great service. Consumers still have no way of knowing whether its warranty is overpriced or amounts to prudent risk management.
City officials also lack such basic information, raising the question of why they would help raise the cost in return for an official endorsement.

A correction: Thanks to a great discussion with a co-worker (Sacha Arozarena Valladares - http://blogs.msdn.com/sacha/) he told me that my analogy doesn't work well re: the mortgage industry. He's right. The issue with my analogy is that the wisdom of crowds assumes that all knowledge is agnostic and created by the crowd itself. In the banking case, a small oligarchy of firms were making hugely bad decisions and not showing how they were coming up with "good information." Thanks for the catch there Sacha.
Additionally, he mentioned some interesting work going on in the realm of developer-crowding. Take a look at http://stackoverflow.com when you have time. This site takes questions from developers, and then gets answers from the community. People rank how the answers fit the question, and the higher the ranking for the answer or person, the more trusted that answer or person becomes. This is a good example of how crowd mentality can work.
First, I apologize for the extreme delay in posting. Blogging is still interesting to me, but other obligations have taken a priority. I continue to plan to regularly contribute to this content.
Okay - so, the main reason why the wisdom of crowds is not believable is because the system assumes that there is good data supporting the crowd's decision making process. If a crowd receives a mass of bad data, how can anyone expect the wisdom of crowds to work? The best example I can think of in current events right now is the housing crisis. Everyone assumed that the housing market was doing fine, and that people were able to buy into the American dream of home ownership, which really only lasted for several years. Then, as the market started to deteriorate, everything collapsed, affecting worldwide markets. Now the government and financial institutions are saying that they don't know how big the problem is, and people are picking random numbers to try to tackle the issue ($700B for example).
So what the heck does this have to do with knowledge management? Crowds can't be the main barometer to tell you what you need to write about or focus on for KM. If the crowd coming to you has bad data, or they're directed to you inappropriately, whatever work you do to satisfy them isn't going to actually work.
Here's an example. Let's say you have a KB article that has very high hit rates, but very low satisfaction. Surely, there must be something wrong with the content; after all, the crowd has told you that there is something wrong. But if you don't understand the context of where the customers are coming from, and their expectations, the crowd will tell you things that you may not be able to properly take action on.
Continuing with the KB example, if a highly used help file or forum points people for Problem A to your KB article, people will go there to try to solve Problem A. If your KB article however only solves a segment of Problem A, the crowd will inherently be dissatisfied. It's not the fault of the content that the crowd chose to follow a lead that brought them down the wrong path, but the content is to blame because it didn't solve the crowd's issue, even if the issue is different than intended purpose of the content.
This really doesn't have anything to do with the book The Wisdom of Crowds. I think sometimes people apply that philosophy though to areas where it shouldn't be applied. Sometimes, with the wrong information, crowds can be quite stupid. As the book points out, too much of the same information turns people into following herding behavior, which is what I'm really talking about here.

|Multisystemic therapy across the lifespan: a 21.9-year follow-up to a randomized clinical trial with serious and violent juvenile offenders
|Sawyer, Aaron M. (Aaron Martin)
|University of Missouri--Columbia
|In this study, we examined the long-term criminal and civil court outcomes of 176 serious and violent juvenile offenders who had participated in either multisystemic therapy (MST) or individual therapy (IT) in a randomized clinical trial (Borduin et al., 1995). Data on criminal arrests, incarceration, and civil court involvement were obtained on average 21.9 years (range 18.3 - 23.8) after treatment completion when participants were on average 37.3 years old. Results showed that MST participants had significantly lower recidivism rates than IT participants for violent crimes (23.2% vs. 39.2%, respectively) and for all felony class crimes (39.5% vs. 58.2%, respectively). Additionally, MST participants were involved in fewer civil court suits related to family instability (e.g., divorces, paternity suits). The present study represents the longest and most comprehensive follow-up to date of a MST clinical trial and suggests that MST is relatively effective in reducing long-term criminal activity among serious and violent juvenile offenders.

Re: Tips for Living Aboard Catalina 27'
What version of the C27 do you have? (Standard, "Café" galley table, inboard, outboard) Knowing what you have will help us help you. Can you provide pictures? What were you thinking of doing – converting a settee or berth into cabinetry/shelving? As you know, Ikea is in Emeryville, so you most likely will want to start looking there. I have custom shelving in my boat and a couple of friends had custom cabinetry installed but those modifications are probably well outside your budget. Your boat only has less than a hundred square feet of usable "living" space which is a tenth of your old studio apartment. And, please try not to be harsh on me – although I've owned boats many years, my mother has assured me that she never dropped me on my head and standardized testing has indicated that I am above average in intelligence.

A look at the Chinese model of studies and governance
Till 2003, almost all universities in China were state-owned. A few private ones were ranked at the bottom and were barely surviving. In 2003, the China Ministry of Education started an initiative of creating about 340 new universities affiliated with well-established state-owned universities. The result was a 30 per cent growth in universities in no time, said Wei Sun, Professor and Dean, Beihang University College of Software Engineering, Beijing. He was speaking about IT Education in India and China and the opportunities for collaboration between the two countries in the field of education at the Connect 2008 event, on September 12.
Speaking about the initiatives that led to this change, Mr. Sun said that in 2002, the Ministry of Education in China created National Model Colleges of Software Engineering. These colleges were created in conditions akin to a special economic zone. They were allowed to govern themselves and run programmes jointly with the industry and foreign universities. They were also allowed to charge higher tuition fees and investments were allowed into the colleges.
Today, there are 37 National Model College of Software Engineering, he said. They generate about 30,000 students with Master of Software Engineering degree and 10,000 with Bachelor of Software Engineering degree.
Comparing the Indian IT students and their Chinese counterparts, he said that Indians scored better when it came to English. Despite 15 years of intensive English training, Chinese students cannot communicate effectively in that language. Indian students are better team players, as most Chinese students want to own a business rather than work under someone.
He said that 96 per cent of students ranked first in all provinces of China chose a non-IT field or business administration. But, when it comes to efficiency, the Chinese Government scores way higher than the Indian Government, said Mr. Sun. And, the Chinese Government was doing all things possible to give a boost to the outsourcing industry.
The Ministry of Commerce in China plans to establish 10 national outsourcing cities and centres. Wuxi, a middle-size city, set aside $ 220 million in 2008 to invest in attracting outsourcing companies in the next three years, he said. In this context, where India and China have their respective competitive advantages, a model of cooperation and collaboration could be followed, to benefit both the countries, said Mr. Sun. Already, many such initiatives are underway, he said. Around 1,800 Chinese students are studying in Indian educational institutions such as Vellore Institute of Technology, Anna University and SRM College of Engineering. There are about 1,200 Indian students in China.
Indian universities and Chinese universities can partner with each other, he said. But initiatives are needed from the governments of both sides, such as easing the visa process and having more direct flights, to further this cooperation, he added.

Born: August 23, 1970
Pianist Brad Mehldau has recorded and performed extensively since the early 1990s. Mehldau's most consistent output over the years has taken place in the trio format. Starting in 1996, his group released a series of five records on Warner Bros. entitled The Art of the Trio. Mehldau also has a solo piano recording entitled Elegiac Cycle, and a record called Places that includes both solo piano and trio songs. Elegiac Cycle and Places might be called "concept" albums. They are made up exclusively of original material and have central themes that hover over the compositions. Other Mehldau recordings include Largo, a collaborative effort with the innovative musician and producer Jon Brion, and Anything Goes—a trio outing with bassist Larry Grenadier and drummer Jorge Rossy....
