The entire offensive staff have been in place since 2006 with OC Pete Carmichael having spent that entire time working every week with Payton and Brees to develop the game plans. Carmichael has also been calling the plays every week since Payton suffered his leg injury last year. You see, that genius head coach surrounded himself with one of the finest staffs in the entire league. I love it when Saints fans point out the fact that Carmichael has been calling plays since Payton got injured BUT They fail to mention that while Payton was in the booth and off the sidelines the Saints went 1-2 against the likes of the cream of the crop Bucs, Rams, and Colts Payton had seen enough and decided to come down tl the field after that. Key thing here is that there will be no Payton on the side of the field in Pete's ear saying "Don't do that", "Change this", "This is better", "Switch that up" etc. Now you'll get the average Saints fans that will say well we scored 62 on the Colts. Well guess what they picked first in the draft for a reason. *Waits for INSIDE INFO from Guido that says otherwise* |

RE: WhoDats on Saintsreport going ape shit
For those of you concerned about the how the Saints are dealing with the offseason, here is an excellent article by Gil Brandt on his two day visit with the Saints recently.
Saints still look like contenders despite trying offseason METAIRIE, La. -- One of my favorite things to do is visit minicamps in the spring, after the draft and most of free agency have played out. It's a great opportunity to see how teams are attacking the game differently, how rookies are integrating into the NFL and how the pieces are fitting together in a general sense. This offseason, no team piqued my interest more than the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are the NFL's most embattled team these days. From the bounty scandal to the resulting suspensions to the Drew Brees contract stalemate, New Orleans has become a beacon for drama over the past few months. A lot of folks wonder if this team will crumble under the strain of adversity. Consequently, I didn't know what to expect on my trip to the Big Easy last week and would not have been surprised by a sloppy showing from a depleted coaching staff and dispirited group of players. I observed just the opposite. This is a team that has won 41 games (playoffs included) since 2009 -- including the franchise's first Super Bowl title -- and seems destined to continue this successful run in 2012, despite surrounding turmoil. Spending two days at Saints OTAs, experiencing everything from practice to film sessions with the coaching staff to cafeteria downtime, I saw an extremely focused team that should once again be a Super Bowl contender. Here are five reasons why: 1. The depleted coaching staff's adjusting remarkably well to life without Sean Payton. Bounty punishments took Sean Payton from the Saints for the entire 2012 season (beginning in April). Assistant head coach/linebackers coach Joe Vitt has been tasked with filling in for Payton, but he faces a six-game suspension once the season begins. For now, though, Vitt looks like the perfect man for the job. This is a guy who has spent his entire, 33-year coaching career in the NFL, learning from some of the game's finest figures, including Chuck Knox in Seattle. Although he's never been a full-time head coach, his extensive experience, toughness and brutal honesty allows him to form a strong rapport with players. But he also has a fantastic relationship with the rest of the coaching staff, allowing everyone to perform their respective duties without interference. Despite a brand new coordinator in Steve Spagnuolo, the defense looks very much in sync. After running an extremely aggressive defense based on man coverage under Gregg Williams, the Saints are settling into more quarters (zone) coverage with Spagnuolo at the helm. And the players have responded very well to this change in philosophy, particularly safeties Malcolm Jenkins and Roman Harper, who have both immediately picked up the new scheme. New middle linebacker Curtis Lofton, a man with increased importance due to Jonathan Vilma's season-long suspension, looks 10 pounds lighter from a season ago. Lofton's playing quicker in general and performing better in pass coverage. After observing practice, I joined the defensive staff for a film session and was amazed to see how well the unit's already operating. I was shocked by how few mistakes/corrections were being made. It was not an intense critiquing session at all -- just some tweaks here and there. Spagnuolo and Co. are very well-organized, presenting a clear game plan for a defense eager to improve on last year's lackluster showing. (From 2010 to 2011, New Orleans fell from fourth to 24th in total defense.) The Saints' defense looked above average for this time of the year. Offensively, with Payton out of the picture, this is Pete Carmichael's show. Just 40 years old, Carmichael has the makings of an NFL head coach going forward. He's a very bright, forward-thinking offensive mind. Clearly, this is a completely different team without Drew Brees at the helm, but Carmichael has done a nice job orchestrating the offense with Chase Daniel behind center. The Saints are even incorporating some of the things Daniel excelled with during his college days at Missouri -- half rolls, generally moving the pocket -- as an emergency plan, just in case Brees' holdout continues. All in all, the offense is in good hands with Carmichael. With Spagnuolo, Carmichael and offensive line coach Aaron Kromer essentially vying for a six-week head coaching position (once Vitt's suspension begins), it's easy to imagine this staff fracturing. But that's not the case at all. This is a very cohesive bunch that doesn't have trouble dividing up duties. 2. New Orleans has received enviable player commitment this offseason. As mentioned before, the Saints' contract dispute with Brees is ongoing. But of the players under contract and healthy, the Saints report 100 percent attendance at offseason workouts. The general training regimen has been stupendous. One player who particularly stands out is Will Smith. The ninth-year veteran defensive lineman has been suspended for the first four games of 2012 for his involvement in the Saints' bounty system. A lot of times, when players are put in tough positions -- whether they're going through divorce or, in this case, a league reprimand -- they tend to slack off. But Smith has responded by getting in the best shape I can remember since he first entered the league in 2004 out of Ohio State. He performed fluidly in drills and generally looks like a man on a mission. Smith has responded admirably to difficult circumstances -- a common quality on this Saints roster. Brees received great praise -- and rightfully so -- for organizing Saints workouts during last summer's labor dispute. But he's certainly not the only leader on this Saints roster, so nothing's breaking down in the absence of the franchise quarterback. Smith, Harper and Jenkins continue to carry the torch on the defensive side of the ball, while the offense has a number of true professionals, including running back Darren Sproles, who displays a quiet leadership. This team has a very strong core, which is a godsend with all the distractions that have presented themselves. Through all this turmoil, the Saints have really come together as an organization. 3. The Saints remain focused on the task at hand, not outside distractions. Despite the emotional toll this team has taken, there are no lingering effects from the NFL's unprecedented punishments. Contrary to what many may think, it's not even a topic of conversation around camp. Spending time in the locker room and cafeteria, I didn't hear a single mention of "Bountygate." This team has not gone astray at all. There's no feeling of gloom and doom. Just a group of single-minded players going about their business. On the field, the team's focus was outstanding. During the two days I attended practice, I didn't witness a single false start, offsides or failed QB-center exchange -- three things that can go awry at this time of year. The season's still three months away and the temperature's in the triple digits, but nobody's lollygagging at the back of the line or halfheartedly going through the motions. This team is locked in. 4. Chase Daniel is doing his best Drew Brees impression. One thing I'll always remember from my Cowboys days is how much Tom Landry stressed QB-WR harmony. He thought this was the most important relationship on the entire team, having quarterbacks and receivers annually report to camp three days before everyone else for "Quarterback School." The main focus was to develop proper timing. For this reason, Brees' absence is certainly not ideal. That being said, Daniel looks as close to Brees as you can get for a stand-in. He's worked hard to improve his upper-body strength and throws a very nice ball. Daniel routinely hit the back-shoulder fade that Brees has mastered over the years and reacted well to the blitz. Thus, despite Brees' absence, Saints pass catchers are getting a lot out of these workouts with Daniel at the helm. Daniel's certainly not Brees, but he does a fantastic job playing Brees' role in this offense. Of course, Daniel was involved in a bit of a scuffle with Lofton that drew national headlines. Truth be told, it's very seldom that a day goes by without a little dustup in team workouts -- especially when it's 100 degrees outside. These things happen. And three plays later, I noticed Daniel and Lofton joking around with each other. No big deal. 5. Jimmy Graham displays unlimited upside. No player was more impressive than third-year tight end Jimmy Graham. The former Miami Hurricanes basketball player is still just scratching the surface of his potential. He's unbelievably fluid for a guy who stands at 6-foot-6, 260 pounds, and makes outstanding adjustments on the ball. A lot of people compare Graham to Antonio Gates because of his basketball background, but his body type and smoothness are more reminiscent of Hall of Famer Kellen Winslow. Graham broke through last season with 1,310 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns on 99 catches. This year, I can see him eclipsing 100 receptions. He's that good. We're looking at a perennial Pro Bowler for years to come. * * * * * The drama swirling around New Orleans this offseason could bury some organizations, but the cohesive effort I witnessed last week couldn't have been more encouraging for the team's prospects in 2012. It goes without saying that everything relies on Brees returning to the team. So long as No. 9 is behind center, though, this team will remain highly formidable in the fall. While the NFC South looks to be one of the toughest divisions in football, I predict the Saints will take their third division title in four years. Despite what some may think, this team will be in the hunt for Super Bowl XLVII, which just so happens to be in New Orleans ... Saints Fan Since 1967 |

When Payton wasn't on the sideline the Saints with Carmichael calling the plays went 1-2 against the bottom dwellers of the league...the Bucs, Rams, and Colts. That's 3 of the top 5 picks in the draft based on the draft order. Payton saw the playcalling and the offensive production going downhill so Payton moved back to the sidelines and that's when they went 7-0. So, read carefully here, with Carmichael calling plays and Payton OFF the sideline they went 1-2 against 3 of the worst teams in the league. With Payton ON the sideline the Saints went 7-0. The problem with this for you is that the Saints will NOT have Payton on the sideline this year as we all know. So the 1-2 record is more indicative of the type of team you will see rather than the 7-0 team. You don't have to agree with me, but the logic behind my reasoning should be understood at least. |

The primary reasons why the Saints lost that game to the Rams were Spagnuolo's game plan against the Saints and the very key injury to the Saints right tackle, Charles Brown. Brown tore a hip flexor early in the game but didn't realize it until after the game. LEFT DEFENSIVE END Chris Long and friends had SIX sacks between them because Brown could not move laterally. He was placed on IR immediately following the game. That was not on Carmichael's offensive play calling. The Tampa loss was the game that Payton actually got injured. Carmichael only called plays in the second half and was thrown into that blindly. So, NO, those two games are by no means indicative of what the Saints and Carmichael will be bringing to the table, as much as you may wish. Get over the 1-2 crapolla in that stretch. It's all meaningless spin. Oh, and the 62 that the Carmichael led Saints laid on the Colts was 31 more than your Falcons could handle with your head coach on the sideline two weeks later.

Once you get to 30 and your defense knows your offense sucks, then it's pretty much giving up at that point. We all understand the Saints had the #1 offense last year and one of the best ever. I'm not comparing our offenses against eachother so stop your crapolla of trying to deter the subject to a battle between the Saints and the Falcons. The key thing here is that you are so delusional that you don't think the loss of Payton being on the sideline won't have a huge impact on your team. What you basically just gave me were excuses...those same instances where surprises happen in regards to the Bucs game will happen this year without Payton being available. Thos same instances where people will get injured will happen this year and he will have to adjust WITHOUT Payton on the sideline. I'm going to show you how you constantly contradict yourself. You have CONSTANTLY advised that the loss of Payton won't be a big deal because Carmichael, Brees, and Payton always go thru the gameplan together. You basically claim that Carmichael is an extension of Payton and he won't have ANY problems. Well guess what the BIGGEST THING that Carmichael will miss from Payton is a safety net. A safety net in those times where adjustments need to be made and he struggles with it. But guess what....adjustments was the main reason for your excuse of the team losing. He was unprepared for the injury, he was unprepared for taking over playcalling duties and Payton recognized this by coming down to the sideline even when he was still on crutches. But of course I'm welcomed to more inside info that says otherwise. |

Mitt Romney said during a conference call with his national finance committee on Wednesday that President Obama won reelection largely by bestowing "gifts" on key voting blocs, "especially the African-American community, the Hispanic community and young people."
The gifts included guaranteed — and, in some cases, subsidized — health care coverage under the 2010 national health care law, help paying for college, and protection from deportation for some illegal immigrants, Romney said, according to the New York Times.
Message to the Sore Loser, What did our President "give" to the voters: of Belmont, his suburban home in Massachusetts, or to residents of Wolfeboro his elegant vacation home in New Hampshire; or to citizens in La Jolla California where he's building a mega mansion? Romney's sour grapes message testifies that the American public made the correct decision on November 6.
At long last, we finally know what the Mittster thinks and where he stands on the issues. Too bad we won't have him to kick around anymore!
Good Bishop Romney has clearly sunk into a bitter mood. It's funny how every state where he owns a house rejected him. All that money and time wasted...how depressing. To be one of the chosen, yet rejected by voters. Simply unthinkable! What to do?
Willard needs to get his mind "right" by doing what he does best. Why not join up with the other corporate raiders and wreck a few more companies? Why not push a few towns in the Heartland over the edge? That'll put the smile back on his face and pep in his step!
Maybe the time has come to pack up and make the great trek to Utah...get back to those roots.
It is fine for Mitt and his campaign staff to remain delusional about their own shortcomings (continuous shape shifting on practically every issue and naked, public contempt for at least half the electorate had nothing to do with the outcome!!??). However, over the next few weeks, we will be having a serious conversation about how to avoid the fiscal cliff. If others in the Republican party truly believe what's stated in this article as well, that conversation is at major risk: the debate over the finanaces of the country needs to be based in reality. Let's hope the rest of his party thinks more clearly.

NEW YORK STATE -- School budget results are in!
Voters overwhelming passed most of the school budget votes in our region. This comes after districts had to make some tough choices and deep cuts.
Many chose cutting staff positions and programs to keep within the state's new 2.9 percent tax cap.

Well folks, it his the jackpot once again. The 510 Hellfire is a sick board, shape, and performs well for the bigger riders just as we had predicted.
It is the big brother of the 506 HF and performs insane top to bottom and hauls tail upwind. This board is a must have for any bigger rider who wants a high performance board yet something that works well in light conditions. The 506 handles quite well also even for bigger riders. These two shapes are magical and I know once you get one under your paws you will be stoked!

Whether or not they'd be comfortable with the title, I have no idea, but Dave Eggers and Ninive Calegari are real world heroes to hundreds of kids. Dave is an author and publisher and Ninive an educator, and together they founded 826 National, a non profit dedicated to helping students, ages 6-18 with their writing skills and helping teachers get their students excited about the writing. Each one of their seven chapters offers drop-in tutoring, field trips, workshops, and in-schools programs all free of charge for children, classes, and schools with particular interests or special needs.
"Our services are structured around our belief that
great leaps in learning can happen with one-on-one attention and that
strong writing skills are fundamental to future success."
One of the ways the individual chapters financially sustain themselves is with a unique retail storefront and corresponding online shop. Hands down they are some of the most imaginative and creatively executed fundraising ventures I have ever seen. My current favorite and one perfect to share with Little Hero readers is the Brooklyn Superhero Supply Co. which supports 826 NYC in Brooklyn, New York.
Now it goes without saying that Little Hero Capes and gear are hands down the finest available to any junior caped crusader, but what if you need, say, a jug of Antigravity or an all-purpose compact transmogrifying Matter Transformer? This is where BSSCo steps in.
All manner of canned and bottled superhero attributes are available. And for perfect accompaniments to your Little Hero Cape, you might consider a flight tilt indicator, tights or boots (seen below). Where else can you support an amazing non-profit and buy an invisible plane? I ask you.

First things First, Tim Tebow is Still the Most Valuable Player
If something other than God sits on the throne of our hearts, life is a roller coaster with ups and downs, losses and wins.
According to one poll, 43 percent of football fans said that divine intervention played a role in Tebow's victories. While I'm not sure if God makes a habit out of intervening in how straight and far a ball flies when it's shot from a quarterback's arm, I have no doubt that he intervenes when it comes to people performing the best they can, especially with regard to their character, and Tebow took MVP in that category this season.
DENVER, CO. (Catholic online) - So, the Denver Bronco's didn't get to play in the Superbowl. Tebow, no doubt, was praying they would. Though, I know of a priest in Boston who was praying for the New England Patriots during their victory on Jan. 14. I guess that's proof, once and for all, that Jesus is Catholic. (Yes. I'm kidding.)
According to one poll, 43 percent of football fans said that divine intervention played a role in Tebow's victories. While I'm not sure if God makes a habit out of intervening in how straight and far a ball flies when it's shot from a quarterback's arm, I have no doubt that he intervenes when it comes to people performing the best they can, especially with regard to their character, and Tebow took MVP in that category this season.
Tebow has been labeled a religious fanatic for daring to publicly display his faith. His devotion has even gotten him labeled among the most controversial figures in the NFL. What sad commentary on our culture that someone who is openly devout is considered more controversial than the players who are sleeping with groupies, cheating on their wives, using steroids, or who spent time in jail for dog fighting.
The "controversial" nature his faith would have as a pro was made clear to him in the Scouting Combine (NFL tryouts). When he suggested saying a prayer before one exam another player shouted, "Shut the ____ up" - prompting open laughter from the other athletes.
But for all the mockery he's endured, I'd propose that if you're not a "Jesus freak," you're going to be somebody's freak. When people don't have a higher reality (aka, God) to live for, they tend to live for the wrong things, or, as the Catechism of the Catholic Church puts it, when we fail to worship God, we experience the "endless disintegration" that comes from chasing one false god after another (No. 2114).
Here in Bronco country I saw a bumper sticker that said, "I bleed orange and blue." I was going to suggest that the driver get that checked by his doc. Contrast this with Tebow, whose foundation's executive director, Erik Dellenback, sums up his attitude with, "Tim believes there is more to life than football."
Tebow has a charity whereby he invites a kid dealing with a serious medical problem to be his guest at every game. Spending time with that person seems to be as high a priority for Tebow as playing well, if not higher.
Why does he do it? "Before all this hoopla and this pressure of playing this game" Tebow has said, "I get to go over and invest in someone else's life and in turn it'll put things in perspective for me."
At one post-game press conference after a Bronco's victory, referring to his special guest, Tebow's first comment was, "I was very excited to have Bailey here at this game, and get a chance to hang out with her.and that's the biggest win of the day."
And after being pummeled by the Patriots, he told reporters, "It still was a good day because before the game I got to spend time with Zach McCloud and make him smile. Overall when you get to do that it's still . a good day. Sometimes it's just hard to see but it depends what lens you're looking through. I choose to look through those lenses and I got to make a kid's day and anytime you do that it's more important than winning a game, so I'm proud of that."
When someone puts God before all else, all else tends to stay in its proper place. In a letter to a friend, C.S. Lewis wrote, "Put first things first and we get second things thrown in: put second things first and we lose both first and second things."
Tebow has kept first things first, and that, far more than prefacing every post game interview with, "I want to thank my Lord and savior Jesus Christ," is what's made him such a witness. And it's a witness that's hard to miss.
In an interview with USA Today, John Elway reflected, "(Tim's) maturity level with dealing with the pressures of what comes with playing the position (is enviable). .If you watch how he handles each press conference, that is truly who he is. It is not an act. It is a credit to his background and his parents. There is no question that, from where I sit, his priorities are different than those of most 24-year-olds."
If something other than God sits on the throne of our hearts, life is a roller coaster with ups and downs, losses and wins.
"I don't have to live the roller coaster other people live with my life," Tebow said.
While I'm not canonizing Tebow, I think we can all take lessons from the way he keeps first things first, the way he expresses his faith in charity, and his willingness to ignore all criticism and be true to who he is by wearing his love for Jesus on his shirt sleeve.
God bless the Giants/Patriots, but the biggest win of the season is the witness of a young NFL quarterback who showed the world that there's more to life than football.

Tim Tebow is a great role model for the young and a breath of fresh air. It's too bad that there aren't any Catholic quarterbacks who are proud of their faith as Tim Tebow. The anti-Christ Liberal Establishment hates Tebow with a passion. I say Go Tebow.

Like everything else in this world. It does not matter how good or Holy you are if you cannot get yourself into postion to achieve your goals. My humble Roman Catholic hero Tom Brady is not only a Catholic. He has proved by his past performance he is a great athlete and competitor. And most importantly he is actually playing in the Super Bowl. Tebow is living in the land between winning and losing. The land we call woulda, coulda, shoulda. They say he is a champion quarterback. They say he is good man. They say he is Holy. They also say haughty before the fall. I say we don't know and can't know because he is not in the game. He will not be tested.

I'm going to agree with Erik here. The reason the Tebows are prosteltyzing is because they are Christian. Period. Because they have culturally or inter-personally (abuse, neglect, poor formation) ended up Protestant doesn't mean they're incapable of sharing the Gospel in countries where the lay members of the Catholic Faith are cultural only. I'm not saying that's a blanket situation, but it is in many countries, in many areas, in many towns, in many homes, in many hearts, and then back vice-versa. So write the Tebows a letter, LOVINGLY sharing with them Catholicism and inviting them home. Maybe they'll respond. But above all, Pray for them. Sharing an air-or-superiority on an online article comment, isn't going to win any converts. Bringing them to your football game out of the charity of your heart is. Find your own version of such.
Glory God and Prayer for all mankind!
In Him,
Amen! -

Michael, I want you to read and pray about Luke 9:49:
"Master," said John, "we saw a man driving out demons in your name and we tried to stop him, because he is not one of us.""Do not stop him," Jesus said, "for whoever is not against you is for you."
The point is: the Catholic Gospel and the Protestant gospel are not different like night and day. There is more that unites us than separates us. Tim Tebow and his family are doing the Lord's work by spreading the Good News of our Lord Jesus in the Philippines and here in the USA. I believe Tim Tebow and other protestants are genuinely evangelizing with the knowledge and gifts that God has given them, there is nothing wrong with that. Before you judge them as being solely in error, you should look at yourself first! What are you doing with the Faith of the One, True, Holy, and Apostolic Catholic Church that has been entrusted to you by God? Remember, to whom much is given (Catholics), much is expected (evangelization). -

The actions of Tim in the kneelings & prayers in a(counter) revolt for the sake of truth, against the present "Beast systems " which is seen becoming the adversary of anything Christian, in the Roman empire back to the days before Emperor Constantine, connecting to the sins prevailing at the time of Noah.

Anyone with a brain in his head must enjoy the presence of Tim Tebow in the NFL and in the media limelight. He is a very good example and a man not unwilling to witness to his limited "faith" in and love for our dear Lord. At the same time, however, he is in error and is not a member of the Church of Christ founded by Jesus in the year 33 AD. I always wonder why these Protestants end up doing missionary work in Catholic countries like Brazil and yes, the Philippines, where the Tebows spread their tainted and error filled Gospel? Their work is not evangelization, for only Catholics can evangelize...only Catholics have been given this mandate. The Tebows for years and up until this day are proseltyzing which is condemned by Holy Church

Hi, I'm using vLite ver. 1.2b on a 2008 Enterprise Edition. Which are the components should I keep in order to use the aero theme? I red all the descriptions of all components. But no matter which component I remove I ended up without Aero after processed by sawo's converter ver 1.0.

Removing Components but keeping Aero
Posted 06 August 2008 - 02:14 PM
just realize that there is a waring in ver. 1.2 about: "Removing components in Server 2008 will break the Add Feature ability..." any workaround this? I don't care about the rest of the components but language and driver (some) definitely need to be remove. ~10Gb of disk space used after default installation is totally unacceptable.
Posted 10 January 2009 - 05:36 PM
Just check the compatibility thing to keep Aero and DWM in Component Removal.
And no, there is no workaround. 10GB aint so bad!!!! Sounds like you need to get a bigger harddrive

wow a** pounding in the market today. Mortgage Brokers Celebrate
3.875% on a 30 year, 3.25% on a 15 year and 3% on a 5/1 ARM
Bam great point and thats what I suggested to him. Its very easy to get a heloc on a home especially when you own it out right. Usually they will give you 50% without even taking a look at you thoroughly. One downside is if you wanted to borrow a good chunk of the LOC and hold it out there for an extended period of time. Heloc's are arm's so the rate fluctuates and this is most people's worries when they take one out, also the terms are generally shorter in duration.
In his situation he wanted a 30 year fixed at these incredibly low rates but today its wasn't feasible until that SS checks come rolling in. Once he starts receiving those I am sure he won't have a problem getting a cash out at .50% over market.
For most people keeping cash in their pocket is more beneficial than buying down the principal balance. Especially in these times. I always suggest to figure out what you would need to have for 1 year of unemployment. After that you should be pretty set for even the hardest times. Then you can spend your cash how you would like to.
This is the reason even a guy this liquid would want to extend a term and have a fixed rate. Cash in hand is the most power anyone can have. And even some of the worlds richest folks would rather borrow than spend theres. I have heard/read some interesting articles of all these financial guru's tell you to keep your cash as much as you can and as long as you can. Even if in the long run you spend a few more bucks paying it in interest. It makes sense even though sometimes its not technically the most financial savy decision

Certification's grand dilemma: The converged data center
Tuesday, May 25th, 2010In case you haven't heard, VMware has overhauled its certification program this week, to encourage even more advanced virtualization solutions. That in itself is significant in the short. But I think this change also signals the first in a series of training and skills development initiatives that are intended to support the latest holy grail of the high-tech industry: the converged data center.
First, this week's news. VMware has created a new designation called VMware Certified Advanced Professional, a level that recognizes how virtualization can be used to underpin infrastructure that will be critical for the development of IT-as-a-service platforms and for cloud computing models in general. In fact, Cisco has said that its Data Center Networking Infrastructure (DCNI) badge has been the fastest growing certification in the company's history.
This level isn't the most advanced level in the program: That would be the VMware Certified Design Expert (VCDX), of which there are only 50 professionals worldwide. Rather, the new Certified Advanced Professional (VCAP) certification is meant to be a stepping stone up to the VCDX elite. Here's the requisite quote from Enis Konuk, who is the vice president of worldwide technical services for VMware:
"We expect the addition of VCAP certification will increase the skills of thousands of IT professionals, providing advanced knowledge to strategically implement and manage virtualization soluions to derive maximum value for their company or customers. The addition of VCAP to our program comes at a critical time as many companies need advanced skills to consider how to evolve their data centers to be more cost- and energy-efficient–all the while maximizing productivity."
Just in case you needed even more explicit direction about what VMware is hoping to achieve, there are two specialties to choose from within the VCAP program: one for those with a role in data center administration and one for those focused on designing in a "multi-site, large enterprise environment."
This seems to me to be one of the first steps toward skills development and certifications focused on covering the needs of a converged data center. Right now, even though the technologies that inform the data center are (in theory) coming together — servers, storage and network — these functions and roles are all handled very much separately. The skills for one aren't necessarily transferrable to another.
I think it is very significant that if you want to become a VAR or data center integrator for the Virtual Computing Environment (VCE) Coalition, you need to go out and invest in separate certifications for all three of the participating technology vendors: Cisco, EMC and VMware. This despite the fact that the infrastructure being created by the coalition is supposed to be integrated more seamlessly than it otherwise would be if you cobbled together the separate pieces on your own. Hewlett-Packard has its own data center designation, of course, which dovetails with skills in its adaptive computing technologies.
What does all this mean? In my opinion, there will be a whole lot of turmoil in the world of certifications, as technicians who have been trained to be product experts need to start thinking in a bigger context. Think of all that training content that needs to be migrated and mapped and phased in and phased out.
My guess is that you'll see more certifications along the line of management, design and architecture and that the product specialists will increasingly find themselves in team roles, as part of initiatives managed by others. How that will fly with engineers used to doing their own thing is anyone's guess.

We have a few days left in San Diego so yesterday we took the three little boys to Mission Bay for the afternoon. Besides the Pacific Ocean there are swings, slides, climbing bars and sand. It is true, we were outnumbered but the things to do there kept the boys busy. Of course, like all good Grand parents, we brought snacks and drinks for the kids. The two older boys, four years and three years old, are very social and really like to be around pretty girls. Climbing on the bars of the jungle-gym was essential that day because that's what a group of little girls were doing at this playground. So off to climb they go very tentative at first but then, in an environment of athletic girls, the boys skills improved rapidly. Soon they were up on the highest point of the bars swinging and jumping down to the sand just like all the other kids. "How old are you?" is apparently one of the most important questions in childhood, think it might have to do with pecking order and acceptance and kids seem to know this intuitively. When the four yr. old boy questioned the girls on their ages and was told they were seven, eight and nine yrs. old, he went into instant age inflation. First he said he was six. The smart three yr. old who knew better, just looked bug eyed but did not rat out his brother. So climbing, jumping, chase and digging proceeded smoothly. About an hour later, the three yr. old loyally said, my brother is six. At which time the four yr. old said "I'm not six, I'm seven". The younger one just said "Oh". Once in a while, one of the girls would say to the four yr. old, "You're short" or "You don't run very fast" but he took it in stride and didn't explain that he was actually pretty good for being only four. So it went, a beautiful sunny day at a beautiful beach, watching high-energy kids have fun. Here we oldies are thinking it would be great to be younger and the young ones want to be older.

Tales From The Tricycle Lane
Mission Bay and Other Free RV Dump Sites
There are very few services that are free in San Diego so the Mission Bay RV Dump Sites are a welcome respite for the wallet. There was no line to wait in as it was early afternoon and most RVers like to dump thier tanks in the morning. I never understood this early morning need unless you are hurrying out of town. You see lines of RVers waiting at free dump sites in the mornings when in the afternoon there is usually no one there. So far, we have never paid to dump our sewer tanks or get potable fresh water. I know, I know, business that offer dump services have to be compensated for their willingness to provide the service but we have heard of charges of $10, $15 to $25 just to dump. Just a little price gouging, we believe. If we had to pay to dump for an unreasonable amount of money, we would likely go to a campground with a dump for one night, use their services and leave. The campground would be happy to get the money and paying to dump the tanks would at least have some "added" value. We don't have any fancy equipment for dumping, just the dump hose, a "non-potable water" hose for rinsing and lots of hand sanitizer. We never put any additives in our tanks and have never had a problem with odors in any of the RVs we have owned. Along the interstate highways there are usually free dump sites. Among the many sources available, we use the book "the Next Exit" for free dump sites. It lists what services are available at each exit on Interstates and indicates "RV dump site" if there is one at a Rest Area. Our GPS will tell us of a Rest Area but doesn't indicate if it has an RV dump site. When we had a large RV, 36′ plus the length of the hitched towed car, we used the "the Next Exit" as it indicated in red print any service compatible with a "big rig" for ease of getting in and out of there. There may be "smart phone apps" for this information but since our cell phones are "dumb phones" we haven't researched the "apps" possibilities. Though we try not to drive the interstates, sometimes that is the best option and "the Next Exit" becomes useful to us.
RV Gray and Black Tank Level Gauges
Our RV came with a read-out that is supposed to tell us how full our various tanks are. Problem was if the tank level, for example, was over the 2/3 level and almost but not quite full it would still read 2/3 full. Also, these "original equipment in-the-tank" sensors were easily fouled and would give false readings. This can prove to be a problem if you are boondocking far off the beaten path. In the case of suddenly having a full gray or black water tank or even an empty fresh water tank while in the middle of nowhere it is…um, well let's leave it at "inconvenient". So we got this "more accurate" read out set-up called "SeeLevel Gauges" and had it installed professionally last year. We are told they can be installed by any handy RV owner but it took a professional almost four hours to install ours and he had done many installations of these in the past on the same type RV we own. Crawling under the RV appealed to neither of us (we're trying to be retired) and when we saw what it took to have it installed we were glad we did not try the "do it yourself" method. There are electrical strips that go on the outside of each tank and can read the level through the wall of the tank. That strip needs to then be wired to a read-out inside the vehicle. Our SeeLevel read-out was placed on the inside wall of a cabinet after a hole was cut in the cabinet wall and the screen was attached. The wires from the tank electrical strips were run to the cabinet wall that holds the new read-out screen. We did not detach or disassemble the original equipment read-out system. When the two read-out sets of numbers are compared, it is amazing to us we didn't have more problems with having suddenly full tanks. Well, come to think of it, we didn't have many problems because we just dumped the tanks as soon as the original equipment read-out had been 2/3 full for a day or so likely cutting into some of our time in beautiful, quite, off the beaten path, boondocking spots. Now, our new read-out system for the black, gray and fresh water tanks are more exact as well as accurate and we can boondock knowing that we won't have to leave a great boondock spot we've found any sooner than necessary. We're frugal with resources (no grass to water & "navy showers") so we can last for about 8 days before it is time to dump and refill with fresh water.
Traveling With Empty Tanks
To save on gas, we try to keep our black and gray water tanks as close to empty as possible when driving. Don't want to pay for the gas to move heavy, full tanks. We do, however, travel with water in the fresh water tank. Fresh water that is potable is not as easy to find as dump sites, in our experience. Since we always use the water from our fresh water tank for drinking, cooking, etc. we like to be sure we have a ready supply. We have a "fresh water " only hose with a water filter attached. Never had any trouble with the water from our fresh water tank, don't use bottled water and never use any additives. We don't always keep the gas tank full. If we know there will be a ready supply of gas stations along the way we just keep the gas tank above the 1/2 way mark. We do try to keep our propane tank full since we "home cook" all our meals. So far, this has worked for us. Going through the Yukon and in Alaska, we plan to always fill up the gas tank and run with it as full as possible.

Thread: When to go?
When to go?
I've asked this question before. The response I got was to check the school schedules. I did...man it is so confusing. Too many countries, too many schools. PLEASE HELP: This will be 15 yo DD & my 1st trip to France & DLP. She turns 16 in March 2010. As I understand it, 16 is legal to drink alcohol in France. Is that correct? She has diabetes & so, I'd prefer she see's how her body reacts while she's w/ me. Instead of @ some school party w/no adults. So, from April on, when is the best time to visit. I'm trying to give her a great experience, but need to do it rather inexpensively. So, off season & cheaper flights is prefered. But, don't want to freeze to death either. Thank you for all your help. Also, any hotel or hostel tips for Paris & then near DLP. Also, if you could recommend a really good travel book.

I'm sorry that I don't know anything about DLP personally so can't offer any advice. I just didn't want you thinking that you were being ignored
Hopefully someone will be along soon with expereince from DLP
Re: When to go?
Hi, the legal drinking age in France was raised to 18 earlier this year to bring it more in line with the rest of Europe.
As for the best time to travel??
France does tend to have similiar weather to the UK, you could go in April/May time and the weather would be fantastic or it could be cold and raining. (It has been known to snow in April!!))
Although generally speaking, May does usually have decent weather and the peak season prices haven't started yet. Remember as well, due to it's construction, Disneyland has it's own micro climate and is usually about 2 degrees warmer than the surrounding areas (they can't stop the rain though!!)
I can't really help with Paris but Disneyland will always be quieter on week days than at weekends. Travelling between Disneyland and Paris is very simple by train. Personally I would stay in a Disney hotel but if that isn't an option check the train lines between Marne-Le-Vallee (Disneyland) and central Paris, that should give you an idea of areas to look at for accomodation.
Have a look at this website for Disneyland info.
DLRP Magic! - Disneyland Paris at the click of a mouse!
and also vist the official site (US version)
Disneyland Resort® Paris, enter the magic of Disneyland® Paris in France
I hope this is of some help to you

a new firmware is available for the Fireface UC. Version 88 fixes: In Quad Speed operation SMUX4 did not work. The mic gain fader position of channel 1 sometimes changed on ASIO start. In QS mode the analog input channel 1 (mic) did not work correctly.
We released firmware 91 which fixes problems with the pitch fader and SPDIF output channel status.
We also released a combined Mac driver for the Fireface UC (version 1.14), that should work in 10.5 32 bit, 10.6 32 bit and 10.6 64 bit.
Fireface UC: Firmware 112 fixes a problem in stand-alone mode where the sample rate was not set correctly (note: 111 is shown as up-to-date in the FUT, disregard that).
Windows driver 0.959 adds official support for Fireface UFX with TotalMix 0.91. The Fireface UC will use TM FX as well starting with this driver.
Attention Fireface UC! The former TotalMix autorun entry is not deleted by the driver, therefore has to be deleted by the user before (or after) the driver update. Remove the entry
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run\FirefaceUsbTray2 = firefaceusbmix.exe
The most easiest and safest way to do this is to double-click on the file
remove old mixer autostart.reg
which is found within the driver archive. Windows will then remove the autostart of the old mixer. (Note: if you downloaded the driver before please download again, the reg file is now included).
Babyface Mac/Win: Firmware 1.79 activates Zero Crossing detection for the microphone gain stages (reduced clicks when changing gain with audio present), and removes a small bug in the USB core that fixes several compatibility issues, like compatibility to Mac OS < 10.5.8.
Fireface UFX: The DSP firmware has been updated from 110 to 111. Compressor/Expander were in stereo mode not coupled reliably, so worked in dual mono mode instead.
The latest driver is now 0.983 (Windows) and 1.58 (Mac). Lots of changes and improvements for FF UC, Babyface and UFX, see driver readme. The Direct USB Recording feature of the UFX is now officially released.
New drivers have been released:
Windows USB 1.01
Mac 1.61
They bring a new TotalMix FX and new features for the UFX (as announced in this forum before, with DSP firmware 141).
Lots of news! New Win USB driver 1.019. New Mac USB driver 1.65. Both include TotalMix FX 0.963, several fixes, and support for the new Fireface UCX. This comes along with an updated firmware for the UFX (DSP 147) for Mac and Win, with further improvements and fixes.
The new Mac USB series driver 1.66 solves a small but annoying problem for the UFX and UCX: if the system sample rate is 44.1 kHz and the unit has been set to a different one (for example in stand-alone mode), then booting the Mac with the unit attached the sample rate was not set to 44.1 kHz. Fixed.
Windows 8 includes a new USB driver called xHCI (which also adds native USB 3 support). Our current USB driver crashes during installation under Windows 8. The soon to be released driver 1.020 should be fully compatible with Windows 8. If you want to (and can) try:
Mac USB driver 1.72 is now available on our website. It includes some nice changes: Supports multi-user operation, Changed buffer handling for 10.7.4, Fixes channel order in 10.7.4 (UFX), Installer signed for 10.8. The latter means that we tested the driver successfully with the current version of 10.8, but will not officially call it 'compatible' unitl the final OS has been released by Apple.
Windows (1.024) and Mac (1.73) drivers including TotalMix FX 0.983 have been uploaded to our website. The new Mac driver also fixes a problem of distortion/noise that occured only on some machines, and sometimes only after a longer time of usage.
Mac driver 1.75 fixes wrong channel order for the UFX (reintroduced in 1.73), has TotalMix FX 0.984, and fixes a TM disconnect problem after sleep under 10.6.8.
Mac USB driver 1.76 is highly recomended for use with 10.8 and up, as it fixes several issues that had been reported in this forum, plus some others:
- Workaround for playback problem after sleep
- Bugfix crash when turning the encoder of UC/BF while the computer -
- Fixed clock domain prevents the unnecessary use of sample rate conversion in multi-unit operation (Aggregated Devices)
- Red button in the Settings dialog closes the window
- Change: Device was sometimes not removed when disconnecting it under 10.8. This also caused wrong sample rates and playback device settings on reconnection.
- Further improved setting of the former sample rate on reconnection.
- Internal stream IDs optimized
- TotalMix FX 0.985: Bugfix disconnecting the UFX caused slow reaction when then other RME USB devices are connected. Open GL is now allowed to use alternative renderers.
We released firmware 201 for the Babyface, adding stand-alone mode and Class Compliant mode (iPad!). The firmware update tool also includes firmware 117 for the UC, which fixes an internal loopback problem with the ADAT channels.
Firmware 203 turns the flashing instrument input LED (which many people did not like) into a constantly lit one, but with reduced brightness. Only in CC and stand-alone mode, in normal operation the LED is off as before. Also a bug in the Mac firmware has been fixed that caused distortion on echo/reverb.
Windows USB driver 1.032 adds ASIO 2.3 MMCSS support and comes with its own installer. Please check here:

This issue presents texts by the 2011 Sozopol Fiction Seminars fellows Michael Hinken and Rayko Baychev
The Elizabeth Kostova Foundation and Vagabond, Bulgaria's English Monthly, cooperate in order to enrich the English language with translations of contemporary Bulgarian writers. Every year we give you the chance to read the work of a dozen young and sometimes not-so-young Bulgarian writers that the EKF considers original, refreshing and valuable. Some of them have been translated in English for the first time. The EKF has decided to make the selection of authors' work and to ensure they get first-class English translation, and we at Vagabond are only too happy to get them published in a quality magazine. Enjoy our fiction pages.
Michael Hinken received an MFA in prose from the University of Michigan in 2004. His short stories have appeared in West Branch, Third Coast, River City and The Tampa Review, and his non-fiction has appeared in the Michigan Quarterly Review, Elysian Fields Quarterly and Provincetown Arts.

He has worked as a journalist in Central Illinois and also served in the United States Peace Corps, teaching English as a Foreign Language in the Russian Far East. Currently he teaches composition and creative writing at the University of Michigan. He has recently been working on a short story collection and a novel.
The great leader's daughter drowses by the aviary. It is a Sunday afternoon in early autumn and visitors wander through the halls dressed in green and gold. Cheers erupt at intervals from the activity room, where the Packers game plays on the big screen television. The birds in the aviary flutter from branch to branch – canaries, parakeets, finches, lovebirds.
To her father, she was his little sparrow. Malinky vorobrey. She hears his voice. Malinky vorobrey. He lifts her. Cold tunic buttons press her cheek. There is about him an aroma of pipesmoke, the animal scent of leather. She is lighter than air and afraid, so she begs him to stop. He does. What does she know of him? What of his cruelty? What of his guilt? Nothing, she knows nothing, only what every daughter knows of her father, which is to say only what he allows. Bending his face to hers, she is covered with smoky kisses, wet and loud. What if this were her only memory? How happy would she be?
Muffled gunshots report from the north woods, hunters no doubt – but what is in season? – and she is again aware of the aviary and the brightly flapping things behind the glass and of something, no, someone else. A small girl. She asks: "Do those birds miss the sky?" Her eyes are somber gray and flecked with green.
If the great leader's daughter could hold her, gather her in, she would never let her go. "Whatever they see above them is the sky," she answers.
The girl faces the aviary again, leans sideways in a slow arc so that her long curls nearly brush the floor. "Look," she says. When she points, bracelets slide along her arm. "Somebody painted clouds for them."
"Ah," the great leader's daughter says. "That is a kindness."

Bringing back the forgotten art of repairing things
It's great to see the team over at The Restart Project get featured on BBC News - and to make it into the top 3 most watched videos, woop!
'Restart parties' are helping teach and empower people to repair stuff themselves all over the world - see if there is one near you!
This got you interested? then check out Jane's article in the guardian, the iFixit Manifesto and our own Fixer's Manifesto!
helping ordinary people do awesome things
This time last year something wonderful happened, we met Joanne - and we haven't stopped talking about her since.
She'd just completed the epic Yukon River Race with 5 of her friends (paddling day and night for 54 hours!) - amazing right?
We were excited and very proud when we learnt that sugru had played a little part in her story .
So when we found out Joanne was going for it again, only this time with only her friend Andrea, we wanted to help. We have never sponsored anyone before, so this is a big moment for us.
But we think there is something pretty special in helping support ordinary people do awesome things.
So next week, we will start telling Joanne's story as she prepares for her next adventure.
It's going to be epic!
we're starting an office garden at sugru
Space is getting pretty tight at our little factory these days, but sugru-er Mark has inspired us. I mean seriously just look at his house! Mark is the founder of Vertical Veg - a site that shows people how to grow food in tiny spaces. We're excited that he's started to experiment with sugru in some of his projects !
Well we've been thinking that our big office windows could use some greenery for a while now. So we've started collecting cans, soup pots and seedlings.
Our plan is to try to nurture a humble little hanging gardens of sugru!
Jane just brought in some of her tomato seedlings!
We'll keep you posted on their progress!
share your projects with HowDo
how.do are a small but kick-ass bunch of makers, engineers and designers from all over the world. Exciting times too 'cos they've just moved into their brand new offices in Berlin!
They are developing a community and app that lets you create and share stories through sound and pictures. 'Doers' are capturing everything from DIY to cooking, LED hacking to sugru -ing.
They look just like this, aren't they cool?

5 ways sugru dads rock
We always love hearing from sugru dad's - they work small miracles, they teach us things we didn't know and are always up for a fixing challenge, whether it's big, small or nonexistent! So here are 5 examples of sugru dad's letting their dadness shine.
Elevate his dadness this Father's Day with our sugru gift bundles.
1. helping save the space shuttle launch!
Oh no! Peppa Pig has a big adventure in space planned, but she's missing her seatbelt. No problem for sugru dad Paul who stepped in to build a new one just in time for lift off!
2. keep the sheriff's office open for business
Life can be tough in the wild west, luckily sugru dad Niall stepped in to help the sheriff out when his roof collapsed.
3. always looking out for you
Kid's are curious little creatures, so parents always need to be on their toes. Good job dad Mikkel is always one step ahead of his little ones .
4. gives you freedom to play
Christian's daughter loved her new scooter so much she wanted to use it inside, but mum and dad were worried about scratches to their nice floor. Thanks to some clever thinking from dad, she is now safe to zoom around where ever she wants!
5. always on call to do a spot of emergency giraffe surgery!
Accidents will always happen, so sugru dad Mark opened up an emergency giraffe clinic for his son in their NYC apartment.
So just for Father's Day, let's egg them on, and celebrate their dadness :)
Stop animation story of rebuilding a Triumph Spitfire engine
UK based Youtuber Nothinghereok has rebuilt and restored an old Triumph Spitfire engine he found on eBay.
It took 11 months, 3000 pictures and a lot of coffee to make this amazing animation - totally worth it !
Jonny Borrell (from Razorlight) checking out the sugrucar in Covent Garden!
Last night in Covent Garden someone spotted Johnny Borrell (from Razorlight!) sneaking a look at the sugrucar!
He looks like he was filming his new video pushing a piano down the street.
Does anyone know what the song is? Let us know...
Father's day gift bundle
Is your dad a sugru-er yet? If not, how come? Every dad deserves a little cutting-edge material tech in their life.
It's Father's day coming up on the 16th June (that's a Sunday!) make it the day that you elevate 'his dadness' to a whole new level.
Buy one of our dad's day gift bundles and you'll get an 8x5g pack for you, an 8x5g pack for him and a free Fixer's Manifesto Poster or t-shirt.
(Who deserves the poster / t-shirt more? Weigh that one up while it's in the post)
* The offer is open for the month of June, and even if it's not dad's day where you are, it's open to you too.
Oh and check out the video we made for dad's day last year. (including Jane's dad!) [sugru dads] There's method in the dadness
Making art from found objects
David Kemp is an artist who makes things from found objects. He lives in a derelict mine building on the Tinners Coast in Cornwall.
He especially loves to create things out of discarded material from the mining industry.
Twenty years ago, he was told about a pile of old miners boots that were to be buried, so he salvaged them and created The Hounds of Geevor!
Highlights from our trip to Bay Area Maker Faire 2013 in California
Maker Faire is known as the greatest show and tell on Earth and this year it was bigger and better than anything we've seen before!
From crazy 3D printing to cupcake cars, cardboard robots to time machines (yup!) - the place was buzzing with creativity and people sharing their skills and passion for making things. That's what happens when you get over 100,000 makers all in one place!
This year we created our stand using 70 cardboard boxes and 6 rolls of sugru tape...oh and the biggest poster we've ever made!
We really wanted our stand reflect the amazing things that sugru-ers all over the world are creating. So we took along your creations including the Solder Buddy, an upcycled vase , kid-proof camera , DIY bike light , DIY battery holder , Go Pro pole mount and loads more.
And oh boy did it work :)
From the moment the doors opened our stand was swamped!
The next 2 days were a bit of a blur of high 5-ing, fist bumping and hugging our way through 1000's of sugru-ers and introducing the magic of sugru to people who had never heard of us. The jaw dropping look on people's faces made it worth the 12 hour flight and jet lag!
By the end of the first day we had SOLD OUT! We went home to our lovely Airbnb home for the week a little shell shocked and in need of a GnT!
We also got a chance to explore the Faire and meet some awesome people. Here's a few of our favourites.
This is Keith (Projects Editor at MAKE magazine ) who was super excited about Jude Pullen's Solder Buddy. He is going to feature it in MAKE magazine!
Spark Truck - an amazing project run by students from Stanford University who are driving across the USA to bring creativity and hand's on learning to kids.
not impossible labs - an amazing team who create low-cost, DIY open-source solutions for real people with real needs.
We were proud to be get an Editor's Choice & Educator's Choice award and coverage in MAKEzine and Discovery News
But we couldn't have done it without the help of our amazing volunteers - Davin, Adina, Jing, Ellen, Caroline, Kristine, Jess and Kristin you rock!
Looks like we're going to need a bigger frame for next year!

The thrust of this piece - that the top priority has to be to organise workers into unions - has to be right. My own view is that the last thing Ireland needs is more trade unions - we need better trade unions and trade unionists, and the IWU, at best, is a diversion from productive activity within the ICTU unions. |

I always keep a jar of minced garlic in my refrigerator so I added about a tsp. to the mushrooms. But I totally enjoyed this recipe! It was quick & delicious!

We use the finger test for testing the steaks' doneness. I've made this recipe twice. The first time, I made the sauce exactly as the recipe said. My husband and 2 friends loved it. I did not. I expected a creamy sauce. So last night when I made it, I added some sour cream, some ground pepper & a little bit of cornstarch to thicken. The spices in the sauce are delicious, and last night the sauce was truly a restaurant quality sauce. Loved it. TFS!

I didn't prepare the steak exactly as mentioned in the recipe because my hubby has his own blend of seasonings that he uses. However, I did make the mushroom sauce as directed and it was delicious. I will definitely be making it again in the future. It was yum, yum, delish!

Yummy with a capital Y. Loved the mushroom sauce. I loved the combination of thyme and rosemary. The mushrooms are really good by themselves and extra good on the steak. I highly recommend this recipe. It would impress anyone if you served it to them. I paired it with garlic parmesan mashed potatoes, corn, and a dinner roll. My tummy is very happy right now!

Simply, easy to make and most delicious. Pare with a fresh green salad accented with fruit and wow what a meal.

I haven't tried this yet, but I will. I have a major problem with the recommended temperatures to indicate doneness. The "Consumer's Report" of cooking: Cook's Illustrated recommends the following temperatures for beef: Rare 125, Medium-Rare 130, Medium 140, Well-Done 160. 145 degrees for medium-rare is ridiculous! 170 degrees for well done would yield shoe-leather.
