We recently returned from a trip to Bali and Lombok in Indonesia where we enjoyed a four-night stay in Nusa Dua, courtesy of The Grand Mirage and Samabe Bali Suites and Villas before moving on to another week of fun in the sun in Lombok.
A luxury all inclusive resort in Bali that is situated on a cliff top overlooking the Indian Ocean, Samabe Bali Suites and Villas earns its five-star ranking with ease. It turned out to be the real star of our travel itinerary in Bali. It's quiet, it's beautiful, the service is amazing, and Samabe boasts one of the most creative gourmet menus we've experienced in all our travels.
The eight-hectare resort property is beautifully landscaped; every inch of it has been paved, adorned, and manicured to create an oasis of bliss. The front lobby is cast in cool stone and accented with teak woodwork, and the wide green fishpond that encompasses most of the main area overlooking the suites and Indian Ocean is positively zen. Simply put, it's a very special location.
A lot of careful thought and deliberation has gone into molding Samabe into the serene Bali getaway that it is today. It's incredibly quiet and private; we honestly felt that we had the whole place to ourselves at times. I was surprised to learn that Samabe was only at 40% capacity while we were visiting. We rarely ran into other guests, and that's one of the things we really liked about Samabe.
Samabe opened midway through 2013; and although they haven't had their Grand Opening yet, they've already had some high profile guests. The King of Malaysia has stayed here, and it has already attracted some celebrity names because of its all inclusive luxury package.
The King of Malaysia had his own private villa, deck, a rather large front lawn with chairs for sunbathing, and his own personal infinity plunge pool overlooking the Indian Ocean.
Your Own Private Butler? Yes, Please!
Private butler service is not a new concept in Bali. In fact, Bali resorts excel at this type of specialty service. We experienced our first private butler service in Ubud, Bali in February 2006, and even then, we loved the idea of being able to lock ourselves up in a private villa with its own plunge pool and have freshly cooked meals delivered to our door throughout the day.
This service is also available at Samabe, and it's available 24/7. You can order as much off the menu any time you like, and it's all gourmet and organic, and its delivered to your door.
Your private butler is there to organize activities for you, arrange dinner reservations, help you book travel tickets, and turn down your bed at night. They'll even unpack you suitcase for you and do your laundry for free. In other words, you can count on having a completely relaxed and stress free break from life. All you have to do is eat, swim, enjoy the sun, and engage in whichever resort activities tickle your fancy.
After being picked up at the lobby in a golf cart, we were taken to our massive private suite in the West Suites. Our room was marvelous, as was our balcony. We had a spacious living room, complete with a telescope for looking at the night stars. The desk was a solid beast of a table, and the giant California king bed was piled high with pillows. We had thoughtfully been provided with his and her matching hats and a beach bag, a fully stocked mini bar, and a nice welcome gift that included a fresh tray with rambutans (One of my favorite fruits!), sweet tea, and little containers of homemade cookies.
Unlimited Privileges
Things happen a little differently at Samabe to ensure that you have a comfortable and stress-free vacation. Samabe is a luxury all-inclusive resort, thus guests are entitled to many kinds of benefits.
A free flow fresh fruit and vegetable juices, as well as soft drinks, coffee, and tea are available all day. The mini-bar is re-stocked once a day, but they've imposed a rule that free alcohol is only available from 5pm to midnight. This was the only thing we truly disliked about our experience at Samabe. All-inclusive means all-inclusive. It's misleading to say that a resort is all-inclusive and then tell guests on arrival that they can only have alcoholic beverages on the all-inclusive plan after 5pm.
Guests have unlimited access to food, though, and you can order as much as you want whenever you want it. Samabe also offers a range of signature activities for their guests. Guests can choose to participate in one signature activity each day. Activities include village tours, yoga classes, sea kayaking, Balinese massage, and cooking classes, to name a few.
Have a Relaxing Massage, Take a Morning Yoga Sessions, or Try a Balinese Cooking Class
You can't beat doing yoga at 9am on a cliff top overlooking the Indian Ocean; nor can you beat high tea at the poolside. I enjoyed high tea greatly, but I was disappointed I didn't have time to do the yoga class. The setting is beautiful for it. Instead, I opted for the next best thing and did some yoga on our balcony.
After that, we had a couples massage in our suite. The massage was lovely, and we really enjoyed looking out at the ocean and the night stars.
The next day we took a Balinese cooking class as our Samabe Signature Activity for the day. Wantilan, Samabe's outdoor Balinese kitchen, overlooks the beautiful water scenery in front of the main lobby. It's hard to tear your eyes from the view, but our gracious chefs quickly had us focused on the task at hand. We received a thorough lesson in Balinese spices and traditional ingredients. Then we started chopping and dicing our ingredients to create a spicy fish dish called Pepes. It's a spicy mixture of Mahi Mahi, shallots, garlic, chilis, coriander, galangal, ginger, turmeric, and tomatoes rolled into banana leaves and grilled to perfection. So good!
Gourmet Dining and High Tea
Samabe really shines in the culinary arts. Executive chef, Tashia Jelita Yunasz, joined the Samabe team just a few short months ago, and what an impression her presence makes! Every plate of food that was delivered to us looked mouthwateringly delicious, and it tasted even better!
Samabe's al-fresco restaurant is truly a special venue. It's one of the nicest places we've dined at in Bali. The grill serves 51 tables, but each table is designed in its own special alcove for a completely private dining experience. Crystal Blue serves lunch and dinner with a panoramic view of the Indian Ocean. Add some stars and a cool ocean breeze, and you're instantly transported to one of the most romantic dinner places on Earth.
This is where Tashia Yunasz's specialty European creations really shine. Her prestigious four-course a la carte meals offer tantalizing morsels of Oscetra caviar blinis and marscapone cheese, lobster ravioli with sea urchin foam, and wagu steak.
Rempeh Restaurant
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are served at Rempeh Restaurant, which offers up Balinese, Asian, and Mediterranean delights. Many of the ingredients used in their signature dishes are grown in their very own herb garden.
The restaurant overlooks the resort and Indian Ocean, while the beautiful fish ponds, stone sculptures and wood furniture lend a timeless elegance to the dining room.
After dinner, kick back with a healthy concoction or an evening cocktail at Te Ja Co Lounge & Var. The bar draws its name from its drink menu: TE – tea, JA – jamu, a traditional herbal drink, and CO – coffee.
Samabe Room Service
Samabe's in room service is fantastic, but then it would have to be when room service is unlimited.
Most things on Samabe's extensive menu are available 24/7. Gourmet pizzas, steak and pasta dishes, a nice selection of salads and soups, plus sandwiches and deli selections are all on offer.
We really liked the option for 24-hour breakfast. You can order breakfast at any time, and they had a massive selection of items to choose from. They had a nice selection of breakfast cereals, natural yogurt with muesli, pancakes, Belgian waffles, a selection of local breakfast dishes that included Nasi Campur BNli, Mie Goreng and Chinese porridge, or you could eggs cooked any style and with a selection of sausage, bacon, mushrooms, grilled tomatoes, hash browns and local spinach to choose from.
Beachside Fun
Samabe owns a nice stretch of beach that is easily accessible by stairway. Unfortunately, our time at Samabe was cut short because we had to catch a boat to the Gili Islands, so we didn't make it down to the beach.
Ocean kayaks are available for rent by the beach, as is private snorkeling equipment. You can also charter a boat, go catamaran sailing, and go diving or fishing. You can even go windsurfing if you so desire.
This is an all-inclusive resort that will probably be out of most people's travel budgets, and while we're not quite at the point that we can afford to spend that much on a resort vacation, we would seriously consider it if we knew we could go back to Samabe.

I had the surgery to correct for sinus blockage (chronic infections) back in January 2009 by my ENT doctor. There is no difference in the appearance of my nose but is it possible that the shifting of the septum to alleviate the blockage caused my nostrils to become uneven?
Could a Septoplasty Cause my Once (Mostly) Symmetric Nostrils to Become Uneven?
Doctor Answers 10
Septoplasty and uneven nostril size
A right handed surgeon would peform the surgery through the left side of the nose and the incision on that side can commonly create some swelling and edema at the level of the columella and medial crura on that side (partition between the nose). If this persists beyond 1 year and you truly had perfectly symmetric nostrils then a small revisional procedure can correct that. From the photo you submitted the nostril rims themseleves are symmetric...so it is truly the medial portion of the left nostril that is slightly too full giving the appearance of assymetry.
Asymmetrical nostrils from septoplasty
It is possible to have asymmetry of the nostrils if a septoplasty was performed that involved the most outward portion of the septum. This is rarely done.
Could a Septoplasty Cause my Once (Mostly) Symmetric Nostrils to Become Uneven?
It is possible but you will have to compare before and after photos to be sure. Most often, patients have uneven nostrils to begin with but did not pay as much attention to nostril symmetry before the surgery. Also, it looks as though the lower portion of the left tip cartilage is more flarred than the right and this has caused your nostril to look asymmetric.
You might also like...
Asymmetric nostrils after septoplasty, Rhinoplasty
The left nostril is smaller than the right due to one of the following (picture is very samll and difficult to see):
- Weak, displaced and crooked anterior septal cartilage
- Displaced crural foot tip cartilage on the left
You should have a few consults with well experienced Rhinoplastry surgeons for further evaluation and recommendations.

Septum and rhinoplasty
The photos show that there is some asymmetry of the columella where the septum is pushed slightly into your left nostril. While this may have been present before your original surgery, sometimes, based on what was done, and how the healing occured, the bottom or the most distal part of the septum may have healed in this position and caused a little asymmetry. I would encourage you to look at your old photos if you have any. It would have to be the same type of photo you have posted to make an accurate comparison.
If this bothers you or is causing some concern, it can be corrected by moving that part of the septum to the midline and anchoring in the midline so as to make your columella and the nostrils symmetric.
Good Luck
Uneven nostrils can indicate septal deviation
Postoperative septal deviation can manifest as nostrils of unequal size. Your septum pushes your columella to the left, making your left nostril seem smaller.
I have occasionally seen recurrent septal deviation in a septum that was corrected--after the crooked part is removed, the internal stresses in the septum are disturbed and the remainder then deviates.
It is also possible that this asymmetry is something that you have only now noticed. Check old photos to be sure.
But don't worry--your problem is easily fixed.
Asymmetric nostrils after septoplasty
Septoplasty is a procedure to straighten the septum which is the cartilage partition between your two nostrils. The septum extends all the way to the front of the nose just behind the bridge of skin (columella) that separates your two nostrils. If the septum is dislocated from the midline strucure that it sits on during surgery then you can have an asymmetry of the nostrils after surgery. From the limited view of your nose it appears that your septum may be pushing the medial crural footplate over into your left nostril or it was displaced at the time of surgery. The other possibility is that you are noticing things more and that you have had some pre-operative asymmetry that is now more obvious as you more closely inspect your nose. Either way, you should discuss this with your surgeon, have your nose examined to determine what is going on and allow your surgeon an opportunity to explain and/or correct this issue.
Nostrils uneven?
It looks like your nostrils are a bit uneven with the left smaller than the right. Typically, the problem stems either from the end of the septum being offline from the midline or the footplate of the lower lateral cartilage flaring out into the airway. It is a bit tough to tell which (or both) are the problem with you. If it is just the footplate, an in-office procedure with a long-lasting (or permanent) suture might do the trick. I would ask your surgeon about it. Good luck!
Colin Pero, MD
Septoplasty and uneven nostrils
Yes, it is possible for a septoplasty to created some asymmetry in the nostril openings. Although the nostril rims are not touched during this procedure, the septum itself can shift position and can push againsts some the cartilage that makes up the tip of the nose. This can in turn cause the structure which divides the two nostrils (called the columella) to project more into one nostril than the other. This can be easily corrected with a minor procedure.
Could a Septoplasty Cause my Once (Mostly) Symmetric Nostrils to Become Uneven?
By definition a Septoplasty modifies (moves / changes) the nasal septum for either functional or cosmetic reasons. An intra-nasal examination would readily show why you have an asymmetry of the nares. From the limited "worm's eye" view you provided you APPEAR to have a midline septum and an over prominence of your ? left foot process of the lower lateral alar cartilage (which could be corrected quite easily) along with a prominent inferior turbinate.
Ask your ENT surgeon for his suggestion. He appears to have done a nice job placing the septum in the midline there is no reason to doubt he would a good job in making your nares more symmetrical.

APTOS -- If you get caught in some Highway 1 congestion Friday night and Saturday morning, it's probably due to construction crews painting new lane stripes on the road as part of the repaving between Aptos and Watsonville.
Alternating lanes in both directions will be closed 9 p.m. Friday-7 a.m. Saturday.
The $12 million repaving of Highway 1 on the 10-mile stretch is nearing the end and expected to wrap up around Jan. 31 if the weather cooperates, Caltrans officials said Thursday.
"Drivers should be happy when it's done," Caltrans spokeswoman Susana Cruz said. "It'll be a smoother, better road."
Alternating lanes in both directions of Highway 1 will be closed 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Monday and Tuesday to repair a half-mile of asphalt from Trafton Road in Monterey County to the Santa Cruz County line.
It's a gap in the highway that wasn't part of the new Salinas Road interchange or the 10-mile repaving project, Cruz said.
One of the final pieces of the repaving project includes tying in the new asphalt with the old, known as conform grinding. That process has been pushed from December to January due to rain in the forecast, Cruz said.
Grooves in the asphalt, known as rumble strips, have been constructed along parts of Highway 1 between Aptos and Watsonville where the highway and shoulder meet.
The rumble strips make a loud grinding noise when car tires drive over them, which Caltrans says serves as a safety measure.
"They're a very effective way of catching people's attention," Cruz said. "They're a good way to make sure drivers stay on track."
Up Highway 1 in Santa Cruz, construction of new lanes between Soquel Drive and Morrissey Boulevard has seen some delays due to recent rain.
Storms have slowed the $21 million auxiliary lanes at a critical time in the construction process, and the project team is reviewing strategies such as working extra shifts and weekends to make up the lost time.
The project's completion date has been pushed from spring to summer, according to the Regional Transportation Commission of Santa Cruz County.
The focus of construction during the next few weeks will be completing a retaining wall on the northbound side of Highway 1. Construction crews also will be working to complete the abutments for the new La Fonda Avenue bridge.
Crews are preparing to shift traffic to the outside edge of the highway so work can begin on the center column of the new bridge.

Banzai Bowl Offers Acai of Pleasure
Banzai Bowl isn't a restaurant so much as it is a statement of status: specifically, that if you patronize this corner spot on the Costa Mesa-Newport Beach border, you're most likely a surfer, a hippie, aspire to be either of those, or used to be one or the other until you became fabulously rich. It's the type of place where big waves loop on flat-screens, cashiers pulled from Billabong ads man the counter, the publication of choice isn't the Weekly but rather Bl!sss, hip-hop pounds on the soundtrack, and all present—workers, customers, even the delivery guy—bop their heads to feel the music.
The only real grub on hand is açaí, the Brazilian fruit that was an Amazon-only staple for centuries until a group of Orange County surfers tasted it in 2000, brought some home and became the mighty Sambazon company. It's the latest miracle-fruit fad, showing up around the county as dietary supplements claiming regenerative wonders, as additives, but most often as smoothies, which is all Banzai Bowl sells. Sure, the menu is divided into two parts: smoothies and differently named bowls featuring any combination of fruits on hand with açaí. The bulk of the latter is charitably called a "blend," but is really mush, with açaí and other fruits thrown into a blender for a spin. Put it in a bowl, dress it up with other toppings, and it's still a smoothie—and it's not like the customer base cares. The place is slammed all day, and the owners just opened a second spot in Laguna Beach, with plans, no doubt, for more. If Wahoo's is fish tacos for the surf set, TK's does the same with burgers and Gringo Bandito its hot sauce, then Banzai Bowl is destined to do the same with açaí.
But do Banzai Bowl's offerings have any appeal for us non-beach bums? Damn straight. The açaí itself is tart and sweet, yet it allows the other ingredients to keep their profiles: crunchy, toasted granola; sticky honey; custard-esque banana slices; and the bold impact of strawberries. I especially enjoyed the stray fruits that didn't liquefy in the blender's unforgiving blades, coated with açaí and maintaining their essence. Any of the bowls constitutes a full meal but won't bloat your gut. For the coming summer, it's a better beach alternative to burgers or meat and stays chilled for a good hour after creation; for the winter, it provides comforting heft. Screw açaí's detoxifying virtues: Banzai Bowl mixes it well, and nothing is healthier than a happy palate.

Fibonacci Trader has the "High Probability Fibonacci Zone Analysis" and the "Zone Analysis" (John Jackson) built in:
On any chart where the OWN period is "intraday" and the NEXT period is "daily" you can have the probability zones percentages on your screen.
Note that you do not need to buy tables from us, the program will do all the calculations by itself based on your daily data.
It is very important to look at the "# DAILY BARS" number. That number is the number of daily bars that the program is using to create all the statistics for the zones. A low number of bars will give statistically invalid information. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that you have at least 1000 daily bars in your data file.
How to use these zones is explained on the Fibonacci Trader Journal # 14

DAVID GRAHAM, farmer; P. O. Dodds; born on the place where he now lives Dec. 3, 1802; is a son of William and Phoebe (Frazie) Graham; he was born in Ireland, and emigrated to America with his parents, William and Sarah Graham, when 2 years of age, in the year 1760, and located in Pennsyl-
|vania, where the grandfather died one or two days after they landed; his wife, Sarah, survived him many years, and died in Warren County, on the place where David now lives, Jan. 14, 1823, aged 101 years. William, the father of our subject, was raised in Pennsylvania, and, at the age of 18 years, was drafted, and served as a soldier in the war of the Revolution. About 1795, he emigrated to Kentucky, and, about 1797 or 1798, came to Warren County and located at Deerfield, and about 1799 was married; about 1800, located on the place where David now lives, on Sec. 28, and here they resided till their death; his wife died May 18, 1855, aged 75 years; he died Aug. 3, 1858, aged 100 years. These were the true pioneers of the county; they commenced right in the woods and cut the first stick ever taken from the place, and here endured all the hardships of those early settlers, their neighbors being few and far between. They had twelve children eight sons and four daughters, eight now living - David; Nancy, now Mrs. Drellinger, residing in Indiana; Samuel; James; Sarah, now Widow Warren, also living in Indiana; Phoebe, now Widow Kirby, living in Illinois; Hannah, now Mrs. Shimp, living in Indiana; and John, Mr. Graham was twice married; by his first wife he had three children, all deceased. The subject of this sketch was married, Nov. 21, 1822, to Anna Proud, born in New Jersey Oct. 14, 1799, a daughter of Peter and Abigail Proud, who came to Warren County in 1805; by this union Mr. Graham and wife have had seven children - Nancy, born May 23, 1823, died Feb. 23, 1824; Elizabeth, born Nov. 30, 1824, married Ezekiel Mulford, died July 9, 1850; Samuel, born Sept. 12, 1826, married Mary Richardson, died July 19, 1876; Phoebe, born July 13, 1828, married John Murry, died Aug. 7, 1881; Abigail Ann, born June 20, 1830, married James Earnhart; Hannah, born June 5, 1833; and Maria, born June 27, 1835, married Charles E. Earnhart. Mr. Graham is now 79 years of age, and has spent his entire life in this county, except four years' residence in Miami Co., Ohio; he lived twenty years on Sec. 27, Clear Creek Township; thence, in 1855, came to the old home farm, where he has since resided. Mr. Graham is now probably the oldest man living in Clear Creek Township who was born here; he has known what pioneer life was, and has lived to see the vast improvements and changes that have taken place in these many years; he is one of the prominent and well-known farmers of Warren County, and has been one of her best and most worthy citizens. Mr. Graham and wife have now traveled the journey of life together fifty-nine years - almost threescore years. William Graham., the father, was married in leather breeches. Mr. Graham found many Indian relics on his farm. Mr. Graham's father made a cradle of clapboards, in which all his children were rocked, and it is now an heirloom in the family.

Dear Coleen,
I've been with my boyfriend for 15 months. We met on a dating website that was perfectly legitimate and safe.
Since then I've found him back on this website, once as himself and twice masquerading as somebody else. His profiles almost look fake.
When I confronted him about it he said the occasion he went on as himself was after we'd had a massive argument and he thought we would break up.
He then let me log on as him to look at his emails to prove he hadn't communicated with other girls and then he closed his account. The other two times he said he was setting up profiles for his mates.
Not only have I found him on this site, but I've also found a few images of girls on his laptop.
Some look like they've been taken privately, but he swears they are images he found on porn sites.
Some of the porn sites on his computer are linked to dating, too – the kind where you hook up for sex.
I've asked about all of this and he swears all he has done is look at porn. He says he'd never do anything else because he's been cheated on in the past.
I can handle the porn, but I'm having serious trust issues with the rest of it.
I've asked if there are any issues in the bedroom and he's said I keep him more than satisfied. I love him with all my heart and want a future with him, but I don't know if I can trust him.
Coleen says..
To be honest, the porn sites don't worry me as much as the dating sites.
It's not a good enough excuse that he went on a dating site after you'd had a row. It sounds like he needs to grow up!
You haven't been dating for that long.
But whether it's been 15 months or 15 years, he shouldn't be going on sites for single people. It shows a lack of respect for your relationship and also that he's not taking the commitment seriously.
If you're prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt this time, then let him know you'll forgive him once but not again and move on.
However, if he's doing this after another 15 months, I'd think very seriously whether you want to get into a deeper relationship with him, one which will be harder to walk away from.
I think he's insecure, and it's almost as if he's covering his tracks in case you leave him.
If he wants to continue with your relationship, he has a lot of hard work to do to make you feel secure again.
And, until, you do feel secure, he should let you go on his computer whenever you want. If he's got nothing to hide, it shouldn't be a problem.

Permian Basin Royalty Trust
Three-Month Average Volume: 102,792
Volume % Change: 95% >>5 Stocks Warren Buffett Is Buying From a technical perspective, PBT trended modestly higher here right above its 50-day moving average of $13.30 with above-average volume. This move pushed shares of PBT into breakout territory, since the stock took out some near-term overhead resistance at $13.77. Shares of PBT are now quickly moving within range of triggering another big breakout trade. That trade will hit if PBT manages to take out a key double top resistance zone at $14.07 with high volume. Traders should now look for long-biased trades in PBT as long as it's trending above its 50-day at $13.30 and then once it sustains a move or close above that breakout level with volume that's near or above 102,792 shares. If that breakout hits soon, then PBT will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at $14.40 to $15.46. Any high-volume move above those levels will then put $17 to $18 into range for shares of PBT.

Hello World!
I've been cheating on the franchise again. I've just finished reading a cracking X Files story set in a post-colonization universe. It's called Lights Go Out. I also thoroughly enjoyed a Stargate Sg1 story called When Tomorrow Comes.
Of course, there are still some excellent stories in the Trek Universe too. Onyx, Turquoise and Quartzite by the marvellous monkee is a story that made me fell all warm inside. enseignant l'ensign by Jintian impressed me too. And it's even an Enterprise story. Gasp.

HP OpenVMS Systems Documentation
OpenVMS Programming Concepts Manual
32.6 Protected Subsystems
A protected subsystem is a set of application programs that allows controlled access to objects. It has under its control one or more protected objects and a gatekeeper application. Users cannot access the objects within the subsystem unless they execute the gatekeeper application. Once users have successfully executed the application, their process rights list acquires the identifiers necessary to access objects owned by the subsystem. The identifiers allow processes to use the resources of the subsystem. When the application completes execution or the user exits, the identifiers are removed from the user's process rights list. Protected subsystems are an alternative to creating privileged images and protected shareable images (user-written system services), and help prevent the overuse of privileges.
You should think of a protected subsystem as an isolated security domain where the system manager creates and grants SUBSYSTEM identifiers using the Authorize utility as shown in the following example:
The system manager can delegate responsibility for the maintenance of the subsystem to subsystem managers who can associate existing identifiers with the subsystem executable and its data. In the following example, the manager of a protected subsystem creates an ACE in a subsystem's image and data files:
Finally, a user uses the protected subsystem to access data available only through the subsystem.
During the execution of a protected subsystem, $IMGACT adds subsystem
identifiers to the image rights list. What happens if the user presses
the Ctrl/Y key sequence during execution? Will the user retain whatever
privileges were granted by the subsystem? If the user presses Ctrl/Y,
image identifiers are removed from the process. Also, subprocesses do
not inherit image identifiers by default. However, SYS$CREPRC and
LIB$SPAWN do contain flags PRC$M_SUBSYSTEM and SUBSYSTEM, respectively,
that allow subprocesses to inherit image identifiers.
Auditing is the recording of security-relevant activity as it occurs on a system. See the OpenVMS Guide to System Security for a list of all types of security-relevant activity or classes of events that are audited. The following table describes the security services that provide security auditing:
The system service SYS$AUDIT_EVENT is used to report security events to
the auditing system. It examines the settings of the DCL command SET
AUDIT to determine if an event is enabled for auditing. If the event is
enabled for alarms or audits, SYS$AUDIT_EVENT generates an audit record
and appends it to the system audit log file (or sends an alarm to a
security operator terminal) that identifies the process involved and
lists information supplied by its caller.
The operating system provides two system services that allow a process to check access to objects on the system: SYS$CHKPRO and SYS$CHECK_ACCESS. The SYS$CHKPRO service performs the system access protection check on a user attempting direct access to an object on the system; SYS$CHECK_ACCESS performs a similar check on a third party attempting access to an object. The following table describes the security services that provide access checking:
The SYS$CHKPRO and SYS$CHECK_ACCESS system services have been extended
to support auditing. The OpenVMS Guide to System Security describes how to use the
auditing function. The OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual: A--GETUAI describes how to use the two
system services. These services are described in the following sections.
The SYS$CREATE_USER_PROFILE system service returns a user profile,
using information in the rights database and the system authorization
database to generate the profile. The system services SYS$CHECK_ACCESS
or SYS$CHKPRO accept as input the profile from SYS$CREATE_USER_PROFILE.
The SYS$CHKPRO system service invokes the access protection check used by the system. The service does not grant or deny access; rather, it performs the protection check. Subsequently, an application might grant or deny access to the specified object.
To pass the input and output information to SYS$CHKPRO, use the itmlst argument, which is the address of an item list of descriptors. The SYS$CHKPRO service compares the item list of the rights and privileges of the accessor to a list of the protection attributes of the object to be accessed. If the accessor can access the object, SYS$CHKPRO returns the status SS$_NORMAL; if the accessor cannot access the object, SYS$CHKPRO returns the status SS$_NOPRIV. The SYS$CHKPRO service does not grant or deny access. The subsystem itself must grant or deny access based on the output (SS$_NORMAL or SS$_NOPRIV) from SYS$CHKPRO.
The SYS$CHKPRO service also returns an item list of the rights or privileges that allowed the accessor access to the object, as well as the names of security alarms raised by the access attempt. For information about the item codes defined for SYS$CHKPRO, see the description of SYS$CHKPRO in the OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual.
See the OpenVMS Guide to System Security for a flowchart describing how SYS$CHKPRO
evaluates an access request attempt.
The SYS$CHECK_ACCESS service performs a protection check on a third-party accessor. An example of this is a file server program that uses SYS$CHECK_ACCESS to ensure that an accessor (the third party) requesting a file has the required privileges to do so.
You pass the input and output information to SYS$CHECK_ACCESS by using the itmlst argument, which is the address of an item list of descriptors. You also pass the name of the accessor and the name and type of the object being accessed by using the usrnam, objnam, and objtyp arguments, respectively. The SYS$CHECK_ACCESS service compares the rights and privileges of the accessor to a list of the protection attributes of the object to be accessed. If the accessor can access the object, SYS$CHECK_ACCESS returns the status SS$_NORMAL; if the accessor cannot access the object, SYS$CHECK_ACCESS returns the status SS$_NOPRIV.
The SYS$CHECK_ACCESS service does not grant or deny access. The subsystem itself must explicitly grant or deny access based on the output (SS$_NORMAL or SS$_NOPRIV) from SYS$CHECK_ACCESS.
The SYS$CHECK_ACCESS service also returns an item list of the rights or
privileges that allowed the accessor to access the object, as well as
the names of security alarms raised by the access attempt. For
information about the item codes defined for SYS$CHECK_ACCESS, see the
description of SYS$CHECK_ACCESS in the OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual.
The SYS$CHECK_PRIVILEGE system service determines whether the caller has the specified privileges or identifiers. The service performs the privilege check and looks at the SET AUDIT settings to determine whether the system administrator enabled privilege auditing. When privilege auditing is enabled, SYS$CHECK_PRIVILEGE generates an audit record. The audit record identifies the process (subject) and privilege involved, provides the result of the privilege check, and lists supplemental event information supplied by its caller. Privilege audit records usually contain either the DCL command line or the system service name associated with the privilege check.
SYS$CHECK_PRIVILEGE completes asynchronously; that is, it does not wait
for final status. For synchronous completion, use the
SYS$CHECK_PRIVILEGEW service.
Occasionally, you may need to write routines that implement
site-specific policies or special algorithms. The routines that you
write can either replace or augment built-in operating system policies.
This section contains instructions for replacing key operating system
security routines with routines that are specific to your site. Two
types of routines are discussed: loadable system services and shareable
This section describes how to create a system service image and how to update the SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:VMS$SYSTEM_IMAGES.DATA file, which controls site-specific loading of system images. These procedures update the loading of system images for all nodes of a cluster.
Currently, you can replace the following three system services with services specific to your site:
When you create the system service, you code the source module and define the vector offsets, the entry point, and the program sections for the system service. Then, you can assemble and link the module to create a loadable image.
Once you have created the loadable image, you install it. First, you copy the image into the SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES directory and add an entry for it in the operating system's images file using the System Management utility (SYSMAN). Next, you invoke the system images command procedure to generate a new system image data file. Finally, you reboot the system to load your service.
The following sections describe how to create and load the the Get Security Erase Pattern (SYS$ERAPAT) system service.
You can find an example of the SYS$ERAPAT system service in
SYS$EXAMPLES:DOD_ERAPAT.MAR on a VAX system. The description here also
applies to the Hash Password (SYS$HASH_PASSWORD) and Magnetic Tape
Accessibility (SYS$MTACCESS) system services. You can find an example
of how to prepare and load the SYS$HASH_PASSWORD service in
SYS$EXAMPLES:HASH_PASSWORD.MAR on a VAX system.
With the following example, use this procedure to prepare and load a system service, in this case SYS$ERAPAT:
18.104.22.168 Removing an Executive Loaded Image
With the following example, use this procedure to remove an executive loaded image; in this case, SYS$ERAPAT.EXE:
32.10.2 Installing Filters for Site-Specific Password Policies
A site security administrator can screen new passwords to make sure they comply with a site-specific password policy. (See the OpenVMS Guide to System Security for more information.) This section describes how a security administrator can encode the policy, create a shareable image and install it in SYS$LIBRARY, and enable the policy by setting a SYSGEN parameter.
Installing and enabling a site-specific password policy image requires
both SYSPRV and CMKRNL privileges.
To compile and link a shareable image that filters passwords for words that are sensitive to your site, perform the following steps:
126.96.36.199 Installing a Shareable Image
To install a shareable image, perform the following steps:

|Marks Cemetery
Hwy 31S, right on Prospect RD at Tarpley
Cemetery on property of W J Williams at 1357 Prospect Rd
The tree in back of cemetery is covering several graves, plenty of Poison Ivy around
The names listed here taken from Giles County Cemetery Book. Published by Giles County Historical Society.
This was a very difficult cemetery to locate, and difficult to get to. The owner of the property turned off the electric fence and allowed us through his cow pasture.
I don't think the cows liked us. This would be the roll of film I exposed and lost most of the pictures.

Transport emissions of acidifying substances, ozone precursors and particulates decreased by 34%, 40% and 30%, respectively, between 1990 and 2003 in the EEA32. This was mostly a result of emission reductions realised in road transport, which in turn was due to the increased use of catalytic converters, reduced sulphur concentrations in fuels and fleet renewal. However, further reductions of all substances will be required from all sectors in order to achieve the various environmental targets set for 2010. Unlike the steady decline of emissions from the EU15 and EFTA4, in the EU10 emissions of acidifying substances, ozone precursors and particulates decreased by 22%, 15% and 16% between 1990 and 1993 but then remained largely stable until 1998 before decreasing further in 1999-2003 to 67%, 73% and 72% of the 1990 levels respectively. The initial sharp decline in the early 1990s was mainly due to the economic recession that impacted strongly on traffic volumes. The stabilisation of emissions, despite rising transport volumes in the second half of the 1990s, was a result of fleet renewal. Emissions from the AC2+CC2 have fluctuated in the same period, with emissions of acidifying substances, ozone precursors and particulates reduced by 16%, 13% and 18% respectively by 2001, but have risen sharply since then to 109%, 125% and 111% of the respective 1990 values by 2003. This rise is almost entirely attributable to significant growth in NOx emissions from Bulgaria and Turkey.

If the economic indicators are correct, Arizona has finally pulled out of its dive and may be stabilizing.
Some key indicators include:
• The unemployment rate rose to 9.5 percent in February at the same time that 20,000 new jobs were created.
• Sales tax collections were down in February, the 24th straight month of year-over-year declines, but the rate of the decline, 8 percent, broke a string of double-digit declines over the past 15 months.
• General Fund revenues were down $48 million in February, but it was the second month in a row of single-digit declines compared to last year.
"It's what we said before, you have to hit bottom before you can take off," said Rep. John McComish (R-Ahwatukee Foothills).
"It appears we have hit bottom," said McComish, who was "cautiously optimistic."
It shouldn't come as a surprise that, according to the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, personal income in Arizona fell by 2.7 percent last year. Job loss in Arizona was also more than originally expected, with the state shedding 323,700 jobs since December 2007 when the recession began.
But initial claims for unemployment in February, while still high at 23,411, were down 25 percent from January and the lowest since August 2008.
Even the real estate sector appears to be holding its own, with new home construction permits up from the low of February 2008 when just 799 permits were issued, to a more acceptable 1,269, still way down from the 10-year average of 4,772.
One bump that could derail the recover is the passage of health care reform.
The Joint Legislative Budget Committee said at one point that health care reform could save Arizona $2.3 billion through 2020, but in another section of the monthly report, said it could cost Arizona $7.5 billion.
McComish said that it took months for officials to decipher the details in the federal stimulus package and it will probably take that long or more to completely understand health care reform and its impact on Arizona.
But at this point, while the details aren't clear, McComish said officials are bracing for increased costs that could hit $1 billion over the next few years.

Start-ups that really get going
A fast-growing company is a bit like a precocious child. It might eventually slow down and mature, or it might crash and burn along the way.
But if luck and good management is on its side, it will become a long-lasting sizeable export earner at a scale which will benefit our economy.
And a likely common feature among many of these companies is that they will have featured in the Deloitte Fast 50, a competition which ranks entrants by their annual revenue growth over the last three years.
Often they're not profitable when they first appear on the list, but over the past 12 years the Fast 50 has been an early point of recognition for some now everyday names, like Trade Me or HRV.
But there have also been some quiet disappearances. The winner in 2001, TelstraSaturn, is no longer, swallowed up in mergers with Clear Communications and later Vodafone.
And the star of 2002, security software firm Marshal Software, has reportedly changed hands twice. It was snapped up the same year by Nasdaq-listed US firm NetIQ, but later bought back by its original managers and founders, with the backing of a UK private equity firm.
Vodka maker 42 Below, 2005's winner, exited with much more fanfare when its founders decided a lucrative offer from Bacardi was too good to pass up.
However, most of the companies that have won the accolade are still around and going from strength to strength. Many of their founders are still in the game, even if they're no longer with their original creation.
''Most of these entrepreneurs are very driven. They may have exited their first successful company but usually become involved in their next venture or helping start-ups that they see potential in,'' says Stephen Nicholas, Deloitte Private partner and national leader of the Fast 50 programme.
Geoff Ross and Grant Baker of 42 Below have gone on to list two more companies, Ecoya and Moa. Many of Trade Me's original backers still toil away behind the scenes in small but promising start-ups.
But what of the others? We take a look at a handful of past winners.
Powershop, 2011
Electricity retailers have been Fast 50 winners for the last two years. Auckland's Pulse took top honours in 2012 and the year before that, it was Wellington-based Powershop.
Known for its quirky advertisements, Powershop has - like Pulse - been a big beneficiary of the What's my number? campaign, which encourages people to switch companies for better deals.
It now covers most of the country and has just announced plans to move into Victoria, Australia, where its parent Meridian already has wind farms.
In the year it won the Deloitte Fast 50, Powershop doubled its customer base to just over 40,000 and recorded a 50-fold revenue growth over three years. Since then growth has slowed a tad. Its customer base now stands at just over 52,000.
But chief executive Ari Sergeant believes Powershop's emphasis on customer satisfaction will work as well on the high-churn, cut-throat Victorian market as it does here.
''It's back to basics stuff really. We absolutely obsess about customer service and customer experience. And because we're not tied to a generator, we live or die on giving our customers good service and value for money.''
Watson & Son, 2008
This Masterton-based exporter is largely a family affair founded by Denis Watson, who has since started a subsidiary offering manuka honey medicinal products.
The company declined to release current revenue details. But acting chief executive, Meryl Watson (Denis's wife), says the fact that honey companies won the Fast 50 two years in a row reflects the huge growth of the manuka honey sector.
''It is a very exciting industry to be in, it's a highly competitive industry to be in. It's showing a lot of promise in terms of what the honey is going to be able to do in a medi范cal space.
''But there's a long way to go to get these things through all the regulatory procedures.''
Exporting pots of honey is still the backbone of the business, and Watson and Son's products are distributed in several Asian and European countries but its future hopes are firmly on the medicinal market.
Even though it's a more mature company now, Meryl says there's little sense of slowing down.
''It's continuing to expand and one of our major focuses is working with Maori landowners,'' she says. ''Denis is very proud of his Maori heritage and is quite passionate about helping local people realise the potential of their own land.
''A lot of prime manuka land in New Zealand is Maori-owned and it's helping them get a return for it.''
Energy Mad, 2007
Since topping the Fast 50, Christchurch-based Energy Mad has launched itself on the global stage and listed on the Stock Exchange in 2011.
Being recognised as the fastest-growing company of its year certainly lent the company some credibility, says co-founder and director Tom Mackenzie.
''It helped us in getting investors pre-IPO.'' Energy Mad sells in energy-saving Ecobulbs, with a claim that each bulb could save the average consumer about $200 over its lifetime.
These days the company is largely export-driven, primarily in Australia and the United States. In the US, it is being distributed through Walgreens, the world's biggest drug store chain.
Revenue is now up to $12m annually, and Mackenzie says the company buys in US dollars so the current fierce exchange rate is acting as a natural hedge.
Many of the original backers including managing director Chris Mardon are still involved and it co-owns a factory in China which puts out 120 million bulbs a year.
But as maturity catches up with the company, Mackenzie has noticed some changes, particularly in the stricter governance that a listing demands.
''We've got more obligations and we're far better at that now than we used to be.''
He puts the company's success down to persistence. ''There were some deals we have to get across the line and Chris is very good at that. He never gave up.''
Prolificx, 2003
The essence of fleet tracking hardware firm Prolificx still exists under a different name and in a different form, under the direction of tech entrepreneur and CEO Selwyn Pellett.
For a time in the mid-2000s, Prolificx had a manufacturing involvement with another of Pellett's projects, internet security firm Endace.
But while Endace was sold offshore earlier this year, Prolificx remains in New Zealand. In 2007, Pellet led a move to merge it with an Australian software firm and rename it Imarda.
According to a spokesman, revenues have remained strong in the now cloud-based company and staff has grown from 20 in 2003 to more than 50, with a hiring programme throughout Australasia and USA.
The firm remains largely in original hands, with Pellett and co-founder and former Endace chairman Neil Richardson the biggest shareholders.
* This year's Deloitte Fast 50 is marking its 13th year with a few changes. Cocktail evenings will be run in September in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin to reveal local category winners. Finalists will attend a one-day festival of inspiring speakers and workshops in Auckland on November 6, followed by a wrap party, where the top 50 will be revealed. Entries are open now and close on July 26.

Discussion in 'The National Football League' started by Playoffs, Oct 5, 2013.
Nick Saban critical of Mel Kiper, other experts who 'don't even have an idea'
Just glad to see a coach say what people should already know. the draft, ya know the actual event, proves this every year.
Saban doesn't mince words .... and he's right , Kiper and crew don't have a clue.
Let's note that Nick Saban has a dog in this hunt. He wants his players to be drafted high (preferably after exhausting their eligibility) because it helps recruit future stud players. However, he doesn't want these players to dream of sugar plum fairies and signing bonuses instead of LSU's tendencies on 3rd and long. Mel Kiper and the like serve no purpose to Nick Saban.
And I say this while not being a Mel Kiper fan.
Cant argue with facts ....
I get the impression some media scout is pumping & dumping on college players for the NFL on a game by game basis, and that that's what prompted Saban's comments.
I just like that he dumped on Kiper.
If you liked Saban going off on Kiper, check this old-but-goldie of then Colts GM Bill Tobin going off on Kiper. This is about 20 years ago, and the Colts GM pulls no punches with his thoughts on Kiper. He gets cranked up at 'bout the 40 second mark.
Kiper's main strength is he has almost an encyclopedic knowledge of the draft classes coming in. He can tell you about the no-name CB from a DIV 3 school that the Raiders just overdrafted. His analysis on actual player mechanics and whatnot may not be as good as others (Mayock, LZ) but he knows ABOUT the players, no matter who they are.
And Saban isn't "right". He's trying to hype up his boy McCarron who is not the best QB in college fb right now.
The last media talent evaluator that I truly respected was Joel Buchsbaum. I can still hear his nasally voice in my head. His analysis was alway so good that I often pulled over to the side of the road or sat in my truck to hear it. I really miss that dude, because he was right way more often than not.\
***edit: just reading some stories about Buchsbaum, and came across the following (which I read years ago). It says a lot:

text: Just looking for some advice. I bought a keh excellent quality mamiya 645e and have an 80 2.8 lens on it. I have the hardest time focusing this camera of any camera I've ever used. The focusing screen is clean as is the view piece. It seems like the focusing screen is very subtle and hard to tell when you are spot on I have a lot of trouble with portraits without making people stand perfectly still for what seems like forever. I don't know if that is how it is supposed to be or just my copy. I actually have an old m645 which is a tank and overall more difficult to use but easier to focus even with a very dirty old focusing screen. So is it me or is it the mamiya? I like the 645e because it's cheap and light and has auto exposure but it's not working out so well right now. Anyone have advice or solutions for making focus easier? Or should I try a pro or pro tl or a pentax? Or maybe just a different 645e? Thanks so much --Jeff

Nokia N920, keyboardless, big screen N900 successor shows up (update: photoshopped)
Interesting rumor poped- up on the net today. And I have no idea whether it's true or not.
But if it is, the pictured product has leaked darn early.
We have just got our hands on Nokia N900, which is not even shipping yet. And now the image of what is claimed to be it's successor, Nokia N920 Internet Tablet showed up at Nokiaport.de forum, and was discovered there by Chinese site InMobile365.
(Sort of pretty circuitous route, I'd say, which does not ad much to the credibility of the rumor)
Nevertheless, the picture of Nokia N920 looks real enough, so here it is:
It is said that Nokia N920 will come with a big 4.13" capacitive touchscreen display, thin body, and will not have a physical keyboard. That's about all that is known about the new device for now.
But don't expect it anytime soon. The best case scenario for Nokia N920 launch would be around Mobile World Congress 2010 in February, though I doubt that. More likely, we will see it sometime in spring/summer of 2010.
Update: The picture above is not real. We have received a comment from the author of the pic from Nokiaport.de:
This is just an artwork of mine!
I never claimed this phone to be Nokia N920 or published any details!
Please read the official statement of NokiaPort.de:

I had Radiesse injected about a year ago to augment my nose bridge and I was very happy with the results. Now, most of it has dissolved and I was going to get it again this week until I heard stories about granulomas. Should I be worried about this? Can you educate me more on the long term effects? Also, is it possible to "remove" radiesse from my nose during rhinoplasty? Is this a simple procedure?
What Are Long Term Effects of Radiesse?
Doctor Answers 1
Granulomas from fillers
Although granulomas can form after any filler, the prevalence is very low, especially with the hyaluronic acids, e.g. Restylane and Juvederm. It might be slightly higher with Radiesse.
Granulomas are the body's way of walling of a substance, by having immune cells, histiocytes, surround the material. The granuloma can remain in that area long term. It may be noticed by touching and feeling a hard lump, or could be seen on rare occasions. Some are treated by the injection of a corticosteroid, or prescribing a corticosteroid by mouth, or a systemic injection. Injection of saline into the nodule might break it up into little particles that can be removed by the body faster. Other nodules might have to be removed surgically, but this will leave a permanent scar.

Eight percent of Ill. workers made over $100K in 2012
Mon, 24 Jun 2013 17:14:43 GMT —
A published report indicates more than 6,200 Illinois state government workers took home compensation of more than $100,000 in 2012.
GateHouse Media Illinois
newspapers reported this weekend that 8 percent of the state's workforce topped $100,000 in compensation last year. That's about 17 percent of a $4.5 billion payroll.
The analysis looked at all compensation - including overtime pay. The review did not include thousands of university employees.
It found that the number of workers taking home more than $100,000 grew by 1,100 in 2012.
The top earner among the data reviewed was Robert Rupnik. He is chief investment officer for the Teachers' Retirement System. His compensation was $357,000 in 2012.
Gov. Pat Quinn's salary was $177,000 - good for 687th place.

OROVILLE -- A tall tower near the Centennial Cultural Center in downtown Oroville has been standing idle for years, but officials hope it will be put to good use soon.
Recently, the city of Oroville began advertising on its website for bidders to lease the 150-foot tall lattice telecommunications tower that stands at the southeast corner of Arlin Rhine Drive and Lincoln Street.
The tower was built in 1947, said city official Bob Marciniak in a phone call Tuesday.
"It was previously used for radio communication but has not been utilized for a long time," he said.
A 264-square-foot equipment shelter at the site of the tower is also part of the city's offer.
The city once planned to build up the area surrounding the tall tower, but those plans were abandoned due to the economy and the dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency.
City Administrator Randy Murphy is quoted in a press release saying the tower is underutilized and could provide additional income to Oroville, "as well as a valuable communications asset to the right applicant."
Marciniak said one of the things the city has considered is to utilize the tower for joint use to provide public safety communication and Internet access for the city's museums. Currently the museums don't have Internet access.
"The city is looking for someone to work with the city on that aspect," he said.
The City Council executive committee, consisting of Mayor Linda Dahlmeier, vice-mayor Thil Wilcox and Councilor Jack Berry, recommended putting out the requests for proposals, but the full council will have to approve the lease contract.
Members of the Arts Commission has also talked about the tower being an artistic attraction.
"It could look like a beacon," Marciniak commented.
At this time, officials in the city don't have a fixed dollar amount in mind for using the tower.
"It's one of those things where we have an asset sitting down there doing nothing," Marciniak said.
Advertising for bids to lease the tower were released Dec. 26. There have been a few inquiries, but no-one has responded yet, he said.
