Salisbury steak

- WildRose May 7, 2002 09:26 AM
Ok Chowhounds My Mum is looking for a recipe for Salisbury steak.
She has been disappointed with all the ones she has found on the net because They all seemed to call for ketchup and packaged onion soup
Dose anyone have a good recipe that uses real ingredients, and no ketchup.
She use good quality meat and has all the standard kitchen goodies.
And no I dont know why she just doesnt open Joy or Julia, sigh but thats what a good daughter dose, gets the info she wants, the way she wants it (grin)
Hi WildRose, I used to make a dish called Salisbury steak a lot of years ago. I went to Google to be sure I was remembering correctly and was amazed to see that the recipes called for ground beef. Is that what your mom uses? My Salisbury steak started out with round steak, with a lot of seasoned flour pounded into it. So what was I making all those years? Or is my rendition just a variation? Now I'm confused! Pat
re: Pat Hammond
Sounds like you were making "Swiss Steak". This was a pretty common way to deal with cheap beef a few decades ago.
re: Sharuf
Oh yeah! As they say, " Never mind". pat
re: Pat Hammond
sounds like swiss steak
Your best source will probably be those ring-binder cookbooks that every church group/ladies' auxiliary/Association of Clerks of Court etc put out as fund-raisers. The best I can do DOES have ketchup in the sauce (I might substitute Heinz 57)
From a handwritten note in he family archives: dates to the 1950's by my guess.
ground beef (2 lbs)
4 Tblsp chopped onion
2 Tbls finely chopped green onion
garlic, chopped fine
parsely, chopped fine
salt/pepper to taste
paprika, 1/4 to 1/2 teasp
butter 3 Tblsp
ketchup 1/2 cup
Lea & Perrins 1 Tablesp
dry mustard 1/2 tsp
sherry 3 0r 4 Tablsp.
Combine frst list through paprika for your burgers. Make into thick patties, dredge in flour, drizzle oilive oil over them and grill to desired doneness.
Melt butter and other sauce ingredients together. Add sherry at the end. Pour over beef
re: Hazelhurst
Thank you Hazelhurst but it seems thats the problem. All the recipes she has been finding have been those 1950s Midwest church supper type. What she is looking for is what she use to eat in Canada/England in the 40s 50s. It had a brown gravy perhaps with a bit of onion but no ketchup or bottled souses of any kind. I think what TV Dinners use to make is closer to what she is looking for than anything else.
I must say I think its neat that you have a hand written note with a family recipe. I think we have two like that, one for bread, and one for a lemon desert. Perhaps I will pass on my Hard Drive to my children so they can have my recipes
Have some for you, if you want me to look more let me know.
From Meta Given's Modern Encyclopedia of Cooking (1947)
1-1/2 # Ground Beef
1-1/2 t salt
Pepper to taste
2 t grated onion
1 egg, beaten
Melted Butter
Purchase meat in the piece and have it ground once. Combine all ingredients except butter, mixing thoroughly but lightly. On a buttered shallow baking pan, mold the meat into the shape of an oblong, oval or rectangle to fit platter, making it about 1-1/4" thick and pushing edges up so they will be square like a steak. Brush top and sides with melted butter and place in a hot (450) oven. Bake 10 minutes, then reduce heat to moderately slow (325) to finish cooking, which will take about 25 minutes longer. Brush with butter once or twice during baking. Slide carefully onto hot platter, using pancake turner. Serve with sauteed mushrooms, french-fried onions or tomato sauce, if desired, or with more melted butter. 5 servings.
From the McCalls Cookbook (1963)
1-1/2 # ground chuck
3/4 cup raw quick-cooking oats
1/4 c chopped onion
2 t salt
1/4 t pepper
1 egg
1/2 c tomato juice
Combine all ingredients in large bowl. On rack of broiler pan, shape meat mixture to resemble 1-1/2" porterhouse steak. Broil 4 inches from heat; for medium rare, broil 7 minutes on one side, 5 minutes on other.
>I can see why most recipes call for the ketchup and onion-soup mix to "pep" things up. If I were going to do this I would probably have a chuck roast coarsely ground (once, as in the first recipe) and add a little tabasco or worchester sauce and do a modified marchand du vin sauce with lots of mushrooms and onions and maybe a little mustard.
Thank you all and sorry for the double posts, but they seem to have been cleared up.
More from the Mum front. she says "Will try that, but the recipe I remember contained fresh bread crumbs soaked in milk, and I can't find it anywhere"
I think its how the housekeeper made them, sigh. Anyway thanks again.
re: WildRose
No milk, but mushroom sauce. Don't know if this is any help. I searched around and found my mom's old recipe (we lived in NEW England). Can't give you specifics like what type of fat or what type of stock.
Felecia's Salsbury Steak
2 cups mushroom sauce
1 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 bread crumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1 egg, slightly beaten
In a medium bowl, thoroughly mix 1/4 cup sauce, beef bread crumbs, onion and egg. Firmly shape into patties.
Heat skillet over medium heat until hot. Add patties: cook 3 to 4 minutes on each side until browned. Pour off fat. Strir remaining sauce into skillet. Cover and cook over low heat 20 minutes sirring occasionally.
Mushroom Sauce
4 tablespoons flour
4 tablespoons fat
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1 cup sliced fresh or canned mushrooms
2 cups stock
Salt and pepper to taste
Brown flour in saucepan. In another pan, melt fat. Saute mushrooms and onions until slightly brown. Remove from fat. Add flour to fat. Mix well. Add stock gradually, stirring constantly. Cook until thickened. Add onions and mushrooms. Season with salt and peper to taste. Simmer 2 minutes.
re: WildRose
The bread and milk that Mum is referring to is a "panade" in French cooking--bread, breadcrumbs or cracker meal mixed with milk to form a paste. It is the secret to tender gound meat products. I use about a third cup each of cracker meal and milk to 1 1/2 pounds of ground meat and one egg as the basis for meatloaf, meatballs and panfried ground beef patties that my mother called "koteletten". The meat mixture for the latter is flavored with fresh garlic, salt and some ketchup. If one wishes to avoid ketchup, the milk in the panade can be replaced with tomato juice or V8. The patties are shaped, rolled in cracker crumbs and then sauteed in vegetable oil until cooked through, browned and crispy on both sides. If a similar meat mixture were flavored with chopped onion instead of garlic, shaped into squares, cooked at lower heat until cooked through but not crisp and then served with a brown gravy--voila! Salisbury steak!
re: WildRose
Was the soaked bread added to the meat (as mentioned, a panade), or used as thickener in the gravy.
There is a British gravy called bread sauce
Have not checked this story, but: Originally this dish was referred to as Hamburger Steak. Then came The Great War (aka WW I), and lots of names got changed from more -Saxon to more Anglo-. Hence the Battenberg family became the Mountbattens, and Hamburger Steak turned into Salisbury.
We have always just made large patties from a good grade of ground beef and lightly seasoned them with salt and pepper. We then carmelize a couple of large sweet onions in a seperate pan. Grill or fry the patties when done serve with the onions atop. If you want to serve mashed potatoes you can make some au jus it's easiest to use Knorr package brand. This avoids the whole ketchup recipe.
Below is the one I have used for several years.
Salisbury Steak with Onion Mushroom Gravy
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 jar (12 ounces) beef gravy*, divided (in original recipe; can use beef gravy listed below)
1 egg
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. onion powder
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced, or 1 jar (4 ounces) sliced mushrooms
1/4 cup water
Combine beef, 1/4 cup gravy, egg, bread crumbs, salt, pepper and onion powder; mix well. Shape into 6 oval patties.
Spray a large skillet with non-stick cooking spray. Brown patties over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and keep warm.
In same skillet, saute onions and mushrooms until tender. Stir in gravy and water and simmer for 1 minute. Return beef to skillet; cover and cook another 10 minutes, or until beef is cooked to desired doneness.
Beef Gravy
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef stock
1 1/2 t beef base
1 T onion powder
1 T garlic powder
Black pepper, to taste
Splash of Worcestershire sauce or Kitchen Bouquet, if desired
Melt butter in skillet. Add flour; stir and cook until roux is golden brown or a little darker. Add beef stock, beef base, onion powder, garlic powder, black pepper, and Worcestershire or Kitchen Bouquet, if used. Whisk to assure no lumps. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until thickened.
I just made the popular recipe on all the websites with french onion soup,horrible. First off I hate bread crumbs so when I see that I know it's not going to be good. I added a bit too much of the onion soup to the meat and it gave it a wierd consistency all in all I would give it a C-. Not that Salisbury steak is some gourmet dish, it's comfort food a hamburger steak dinner with all the comfort food trimmings.
I know some like to bash Rachel Ray, but I've made them several times pretty much following her recipe. She does have more than one recipe for them, but thay all have 5 stars
Growing up in the 60's Mom's classic Salisbury Steak was simply meatloaf made into patties and cooked in beef gravy with a little ketchup added to make it a little on the red side.
Swiss Steak was made with round steak and cooked for hours with onions, Then thickened with flour so it was like a gravy.
re: Midknight
To me, Salisbury Steak is more like a mini-meatloaf than a burger. It's larger & thicker, & always served plated with a nice gravy - usually onion-scented.
re: Bacardi1
I just realized that all the original posts on this thread are a decade old. A classic case of 'people responding to old threads without paying attention to the date'. Not that it matters much with a topic that dates back a century.
re: paulj
I don't think it matters either. The Earl of Salisbury would still be proud :)
Just curious to those that post to old threads and don't notice the date....don't you notice that the poster names are all in small, black, different fonts? It seems so obvious to me, so if I don't notice the *date*, I always notice the font.
re: sedimental
The history of that title (E of S) reminds me of some threads - repeatedly dying out (often due to execution) followed a revival.
The best recipe I've found is from the Cook's Country magazine (part of Cook's Illustrated). It is available here:
You have to register but it is free. This has a good brown gravy. No soup, no ketchup!
My husband could live on this! I make it a lot in the winter time.
Salisbury Steak
2 lbs Lean Ground Beef
2/3 Cup Bread Crumbs
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Pepper
2 Eggs
Half a diced onion
Slice the other half of the onion for the gravy
2 Cans Condensed Beef Broth
Package of sliced mushrooms
4 T. Cornstarch
4 T Water
2 – Packets Brown Gravy Mix
Mix First 6 ingredients together and shape into ovals about ¾ inches thick. Cook patties in a skillet turning once until just seared on both sides (will be rare, but finishes cooking in the oven). Set patties aside in a casserole dish (or 13 x 9 pan) Saute the mushrooms and onion. Add one can of beef broth. Heat to boiling. Mix the other can of beef broth, water, cornstarch and 2 packets of gravy together (I shake it in a jar). Add to boiling mixture with a wire whisk and whisk until gravy begins to thicken. I then pour the gravy over the patties in the casserole dish and bake at 350 until bubbly.
Serve with rice, mashed potatoes or noodles.

It's suddenly occured to me that there are some things that we leave running on clasroom desktop PC's (and laptops) that, in the interests of keeping disk space down and machines running smoothly and not getting bogged down with background tasks, especially with older and slower systems, we could do well without.
Two eamples are System Restore and switching off hibernation mode. We rarely use system restpre on desktop PCs and would much rather re-image to a clean working version of Windows than sit and faff around. It aso has the benefit of saving disk space and time when installign new software and updates.
And the removal of hiberfil.sys saves GB of space on hard drives.
Are there any other things that we can safely switch off to eak a little more out of our desktop systems?

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- James White ran for two touchdowns and caught a pass for another score, and No. 21 Wisconsin stalled BYU's fast-paced offense in a 27-17 victory Saturday.
White finished with 147 yards rushing, while Chris Borland looked just fine coming back from a hamstring injury in flying around the field for 13 tackles and two sacks for the Badgers (7-2).
Kyle Van Noy went step-for-step with Borland in a matchup of star linebackers with eight tackles and an interception for BYU (6-3). Taysom Hill threw two touchdown passes to Cody Hoffman, but the dual-treat quarterback was held in check by Wisconsin pressure.
White locked up the win with his third score on a 14-yard run with 13:51 left in the fourth for a three-possession lead.

COPPERHILL, Tenn. (AP) -- Authorities are continuing to investigate a Polk County shooting that left three people dead.
According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, police have charged 33-year-old George Waters with three counts of murder in the shootings that occurred Friday night near Copperhill. Waters is being held without bond at the Polk County Jail. Online jail records did not list an attorney for him.
WTVC-TV reported the shootings happened outside a home on a gravel road that has five houses which are all occupied by members of the same family. Authorities say there may have been a property dispute.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press identified the victims as 59-year-old Wanda Waters, her son, 40-year-old Marion D. Waters, and Wanda Waters' husband, Willard J. Waters, who was 61.

UPDATE: Thurs 3:40 PM, Feb. 13, 2014
Crews worked to removed a 10-ton bulldozer from Lake Wissota in Chippewa County Thursday.
According to WEAU-TV, a trench was cut in the ice and divers attached cables to the bulldozer to pull it to shore.
Crews were able to pull it with a tank transporter about 300 feet before it got caught on debris. The bulldozer then tipped over with it's blade digging into the lake bottom. Now stalled, crews brought in a 30-foot-log to act as a fulcrum to lift the bulldozer out of the debris with the cable pulling over the tip of the log.
Once it's loose, the crew hopes to be able to continue winching the bulldozer back to shore. When it's close enough, they then plan to cut a hole big enough to bring the bulldozer back on land.
ORIGINAL STORY: Mon 9:31 AM, Feb. 10, 2014
CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis. (AP) -- Weekend snowmobile races on Lake Wissota in Chippewa County were canceled after a bulldozer went through the ice.
Sheriff's officials say Kirk Brown of Brown Excavation was using the bulldozer to get a race track ready for Saturday's Pro Vintage race when the 10-ton bulldozer broke through the ice in 40 feet of water several hundred yards from shore.
WQOW-TV says Brown jumped to safety just before the bulldozer sunk. The DNR says it will work with Brown to recover the bulldozer.

Thoughts On Gender-Neutral Speech
As I was doing my AP Psychology homework about the psychology of language recently, I came across some interesting studies about the effect of using gender-neutral speech.
Janet Hyde, a professor of psychology and women's studies at University of Wisconsin – Madison, conducted a study in 1984 where she asked children to finish stories for which she gave them a first line, like "When a kid goes to school, ___ often feels excited on the first day." When Dr. Hyde used the word he in the blank, almost all of the kids' stories were about boys. When she used he or she, about a third of the stories were about girls. This effect is not only present in children, but has also been seen in …

Transgender: An Overview
Many people don't know what being transgender means. I, not being transgendered, don't fully understand every aspect of it either but my fiancée is in the middle of transitioning so I want to express what I do know. Here is some information I've gathered about people transitioning from one gender to another.
Being transgender means feeling that you are a different gender than your physical biology. It means that a person does not see themselves as the biological gender they were born into. In other words they do not feel that their gender matches their sex (their body parts). Some people (like my sociology professor) refer to a person transitioning as "man to woman" or "woman to man" because (as he describes it) people transitioning are only transitioning their gender, …

Finals and the Curse of the Perfect Girl
The number one question my high school friends always ask me whenever we chat now is, "So are you sick of being around all those girls yet?" Despite the fact that I have attempted to explain my decision to attend a women's college a seemingly infinite amount of times, I always answer no – that being around women has been a really supportive experience, a nice change of pace and a really beneficial academic experience so far. Or at least that was my answer up until finals.
The thing is, I go to an extremely competitive, academically rigorous school. I don't really care what the official rankings are, all I know is that I am surrounded by the most hyper-motivated, incredibly intelligent people I have ever encountered. This was something …

School Crossing Signs
You've seen the signs I mean – silhouette figures of two children about to cross the road: one boy, one girl. (How do we tell? One's wearing a skirt.) (That'd be the girl.) (Really, do most girls still wear skirts to school?)
So, yes, let's emphasize sex. Boy and Girl. Ms. and Mr. Nothing else matters.
And nothing else is possible.
Note that the boy is taller. 'Oh, but they are.' Not at that age! Taller suggests older which suggests more mature, wiser. And just in case you miss this not-so-subtle suggestion of male authority, look, he has his hand on the little girl's shoulder – guiding, protecting, patronizing. It will be there for the rest of her life.
Just to make sure of that, we have this social understanding …

Saturday Vids: Storm, The Genderless BabyOver the past few weeks, the story of a Canadian couple who is keeping the gender of their baby, named Storm, a secret, has made headlines. Their reasoning seems to be that they want to allow their child to choose his/her own gender. They want to help him/her avoid feeling trapped by gender and to give him/her more freedom to express himself/herself. Of course, controversy ensued, even resulting in a segment on the Today show.

My Reasons Why
Tonight I spoke with the grandfather of a friend of mine after a basketball game. The game had just ended, and we were standing around, waiting for the team to emerge from the locker room, making the usual sort of losing team whiny small talk that one might expect, when a cheerleader walked by. We had seen her all night, selling raffle tickets, flirting with the guys' team, doing her cheer thing, but mostly, we saw her wearing that uniform.
Now at the end of the game, she's walking to her locker room, minding her own business, and this sweet little old man looks at me and comments, "I guess she likes that uniform." "Uh I guess so" was all I could say, not really feeling …

Ask the council to come and check it out.
Ball Cock appears to be faulty and needs replacing by Council Plumber.
Report it to Council Housing repairs Dept
...and why have you left it FOUR YEARS?
Exactly gingejbee, it should have been reported to Council straight away.
What a waste of water
Question Author
this has been reported to the council l would never of left a problem like this 4 years!! but what l need to know as l intend to make a claim is what damage to the property foundation with so much water and how the bathroom sink will affect this will have on my health if any
How can you make a claim for damages to the structure of the property when its not yours.
Would it not have been easier just to get it fixed ? If it is the old metal bar with a ball on the end style, a simple slight bend of the bar may have sorted it in minutes.
It's not your property so you have no claim for property damage to the structure.
Just because a bathroom sink 'gurgles', this would not cause a health issue. No idea if the sink has been plumbed in correctly, insufficient detail.
You make it sound like you are just looking to cause trouble to be honest, you want to claim against the council for the damage they may have caused to their own property!!

Favorite Peanut Butter Recipes?
- content Oct 22, 2007 08:01 PM
I have a tub and a half of peanut butter I gotta use. Mind sharing your favorite recipes that use peanut butter? Sweet or savory?
Thanks so much!
i'm sure a lot of people on this board will tell you Elvis Cake! banana chocolate chip cake with peanut butter frosting - it's truly deliciously peanut buttery yummy
satay with peanut dipping sauce
dan dan mien (noodles)--I actually prefer this with sesame paste, but pb is good
chocolate peanut butter cups
peanut butter cookies or Not Nutter Butters in Nancy Silverton's sandwich book
re: JasmineG
Hi JasmineG,
Please share the pb cookies and the sesame noodles with pb sauce!
How do you think the cookies would be with mint kisses on top?
re: content
Here is the peanut butter cookie recipe:
1 3/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup sugar (plus more for rolling)
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 Tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
Chocolate kisses
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine flour, baking soda and salt.
Cream butter, peanut butter, add sugars. Add egg, milk and vanilla. Beat well, add dry ingredients, mix.
Shape into balls. Roll balls in sugar. Place on ungreased cookie sheets. (If NOT adding kiss, flatten now) Bake for 8 minutes. Remove from oven, place chocolate kiss on top of balls until cookie begins to crack. Bake for 2 more minutes.
They originally called for half margarine and half butter, I think (I got the recipe from a classmate years ago, and I don't know where she got it from), but I've always used all butter. They're seriously addictive, but I don't know if mint kisses would work, and I love those.
To make the sesame noodles, I basically take a few scoops of peanut butter, mix it with toasted sesame noodles, pressed garlic, ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar (just a few tablespoons of the last two), and a few squirts of Siracha and blend, and then toss with noodles, topping with some leftover toasted sesame seeds. Tofu, thinly sliced red pepper and cucumber works well with this.
Love this vegetarian groundnut (peanut) stew: http://www.recipezaar.com/134225 Perfect for winter.
I sometimes make a broccoli slaw (shredded broccoli and carrot, sliced red onions, sliced celery/fennel, and sometimes apple or raisins) with a spicy PB dressing. It's kinda improvised, but usually has PB, lime juice, ginger, chili, sugar and some other liquid to thin it out.
I also like to sub it for some of the butter in quickbread or cookie recipes - especially pumpkin- or spice-based ones.
Here's a link to the aforementioned elvis cake thread:
swirl some into your favorite brownie batter, or bake a batch of flourless peanut butter cookies.
there was a recent thread about uses for almond butter, and many of the ideas are great for any nut butter including peanut...
re: goodhealthgourmet
Second the flourless pb cookies (from the Gourmet cookbook). I don't know whether they store well--but the question doesn't really arise around here. Gave the recipe to a friend for her newly gluten-intolerant mother, who said You'd eat these even if you didn't have to!
Thai style Peanut Dipping Sauce
4 Tbs Peanut Butter (smooth or crunchy)
2 Tbs salad oil
4 Tbs soy sauce
4 Tbs granulated sugar
4 Tbs distilled vinegar
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
2 tsp Sriracha sauce (more or less to taste)
1/8 tsp ground coriander
Mix well.
Serve over pot stickers, noodles or as a dipping sauce.
re: Antilope
Can you please name a couple of easily found substitutes for Sriracha sauce?
re: maria lorraine
Any kind of hot sauce-- I use Franks. Just use it slowly, as the texture is a bit different.
re: GrillNextDoor
Franks, Crystal, Tabasco are all good hot sauce substitutes. Sriracha sauce is thick, like ketchup. But in this recipe, that doesn't matter.
re: maria lorraine
Just wanted to mention that sriracha sauce is very easy to find in NorCal. Safeway, Mexican grocery stores . . .
re: OldDog
You can use Splenda in this recipe and it is delicious.
I love this in the winter--Taiwanese peanut butter dessert soup:
Peanut butter pie: cream together half a cup or so of peanut butter and an 8-oz. package of cream cheese with a tablespoon of vanilla. Whip a cup of heavy cream and fold into the peanut butter mixture. Spread in a chocolate crumb crust and chill. Top with a little bit of chocolate ganache if you want.
Here's a savory, African-style recipe that was in The Oregonian probably 12 years ago:
Chicken Moamba
1 small onion, chopped
1/2 green pepper, chopped
1 tbsp. minced fresh ginger
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1-2 cloves garlic, minced
3 c. chicken broth, divided
1 (8-oz.) can tomato sauce
1 medium sweet potato, peeled and cubed
1 small potato, peeled and diced
3 chicken breast halves, cut in 1" cubes
1/4 c. raw rice
1/4 t. dried thyme
Dried red pepper flakes to taste
1/3 c. creamy peanut butter
2 c. firmly packed spinach leaves
In large, heavy saucepan, sauté onion, green pepper, and ginger in oil until onion is tender but not brown. Stir in garlic, then add 2 1/2 c. broth, the tomato sauce, chicken, sweet potato, potato, rice, red pepper flakes and thyme. Bring to boil, reduce heat to low, cover and cook 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, blend peanut butter with the remaining 1/2 c. broth. Stir into stew along with the spinach and cook about 5 minutes more, until spinach wilts and stew is heated through.
(For best results use natural, unsweetened peanut butter.)
re: revsharkie
I love African stews. I do mine a little differently with the addition of curry powder, green beans and some okra. Great on a fall day!
Also Filipino oxtail stew, kare-kare is my ideal use of peanut butter, though the arteries can only take so much.
These are all such great ideas. My mom just sent me a "tub" of Magee's pb from LA and I was wondering how I was going to use all of it. Now I know.
Deborah Madison's Peanut Sauce for tofu and noodles...I think it's from her, "Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone." Anyway, I've made it several times now and it is very, very flavorful. Here's a link to a similar recipe, this one by DM as well, but in this the tofu is toasted, in the one I have, it isn't...also in the original there's loads of cilantro...YUM.

Has There Ever Been A Worse Time To Be In The Enterprise Hardware Business?
Technology journalist Robert Cringley thinks IBM is doomed because it just sold its Intel server business to Lenovo. On the contrary, this may be the clearest indication that IBM may thrive. After all, given the trend toward cloud and build-your-own-datacenters, has there ever been a worse time to be selling enterprise servers?
"An Act Of Desperation For IBM"
Let's be clear. Every incumbent hardware company is under the gun as low-margin cloud businesses boom. Amazon puts every hardware company under pressure and is even causing fits for those trying to make a business of selling private cloud technology.
Yet Robert Cringley, a longtime IBM critic, believes IBM "has sold the future to invest in the past," referring to its mainframe business, which it retains. He goes on to suggest that, "little servers are the future of big computing" and that, "IBM needs to be a major supplier and a major player in this emerging market."
Yes and no.
It seems clear that selling big hardware like mainframes is a dying business. Yes, enterprises will continue to buy it, but if the last few earnings calls from IBM, Oracle and their peers are any indication, big hardware is a difficult proposition in the age of cloud.
Not that the big incumbents are giving up on big hardware. As reported by ReadWrite in November 2013, Oracle CEO Larry Ellison believes the future datacenter will include purpose-built, big hardware and low-end commodity servers, with the latter constituting the core of enterprise workloads. But that core will not powered by Oracle. Or IBM. Or any mega-vendor.
The problem is that these legacy server companies are not buying into that "purpose-built," insanely expensive hardware, either. Hence, while CA Technologies may like to pretend that the mainframe is an integral part of the "data center of the future," as a recent Wall Street Journal advertisement proposes, IT buyers aren't buying.
Why Not Sell "Little" Servers?
If big hardware is struggling, why shouldn't IBM, Oracle and other enterprise incumbents trade in commodity servers? In large part, they can't. Not while being profitable anyway.
The commodity server business has been further commoditized by the rise of white box server vendors and open-source datacenter initiatives like Facebook's Open Compute project. As Accenture writes, "Facebook's Open Compute Project is accelerating the adoption of infrastructure innovations by sharing those breakthroughs freely." For incumbent server vendors, "freely" is the last thing they want to hear.
It may be on the verge of getting even worse. According to McKinsey & Company, in 2014 enterprises need to increase their emphasis on private cloud deployments:
Many large infrastructure functions are experiencing "cloud stall." They have built an intriguing set of technology capabilities but are using it to host only a small fraction of their workloads. It may be that they cannot make the business case work due to migration costs, or that they have doubts about the new environment's ability to support critical workloads, or that they cannot reconcile the cloud environment with existing sourcing arrangements. Over the next year, infrastructure organizations must shift from treating the private cloud as a technology innovation to treating it as an opportunity to evolve their operating model.
If this happens, and there are good reasons to believe enterprise developers will continue to skip the private cloud in favor of public cloud options like Amazon Web Services, it won't serve enterprise hardware companies very well. With increasing interest in open datacenter designs, enterprises can utilize private clouds with low-end, white box vendor servers rather than higher-cost, name-brand servers from the likes of IBM.
Which, presumably, is one big reason IBM sold its commodity server business.
The Future Of Hardware Is Software
Venture capitalist Marc Andreessen argues that "software is eating the world." Along the way, it's also eating hardware. At least, the fancy name-brand hardware that used to mint billions for IBM and its peers.
This is what Cringley misses. He blithely suggests of IBM that, "they are selling a lower-margin business where customer are actually buying to invest in a higher-margin business where customers aren't buying." This is true. But it doesn't lead to his conclusion: "IBM needs to learn how to operate in a commodity market. IBM needs to become the lowest cost, highest volume producer of commodity servers."
This is like suggesting that IBM needs to slit its right wrist instead of its left wrist. In either market, IBM is going to lose. The difference is that it can milk the high-margin, fading business for years as it tries to transform itself into a commodity cloud computing business. With the acquisition of Softlayer, it is well on its way, though the journey will be brutally painful.
Which, I suppose, is how I'd describe any company trying to make a living peddling hardware. Or cloud, for that matter. The cloud is compressing margins on all hardware businesses, even as Amazon forces would-be cloud competitors into a game of low-margin commodity cloud pricing. For hardware companies, it seems to be a lose-lose proposition. But it may be the only option they have.

The Internet Of Things Has Been Hacked, And It's Turning Nasty
Don't say we didn't warn you. Bad guys have already hijacked up to 100,000 devices in the Internet of Things and used them to launch malware attacks, Internet security firm Proofpoint said on Thursday.
It's apparently the first recorded large-scale Internet of Things hack. Proofpoint found that the compromised gadgets—which included everything from routers and smart televisions to at least one smart refrigerator—sent more than 750,000 malicious emails to targets between December 26, 2013 and January 6, 2014.
The hack came to light over the relatively quiet holiday period when a security researcher at Proofpoint noticed a spike in thousands of malicious messages sent from a range of IP addresses she didn't recognize, David Knight, a Proofpoint executive in charge of information security products, told me in an interview.
Curious, she began pinging the devices and soon realized that they weren't PCs, the usual platform for launching this sort of attack. Instead, many were otherwise unidentified devices running a standard version of Linux. Pinging one device brought up a login screen that : Welcome To Your Fridge. She typed in a default password—something like "admin" or "adminadmin," Knight says—and suddenly had access to the heart of someone's kitchen.
As the age of Smart Everything dawns, it's also bringing online a host of largely unsecured smart devices like TVs, refrigerators and even toasters. Those devices are often trivial for knowledgeable hackers to compromise, opening new opportunities for malicious actions of various kinds—of which the malware attack Proofpoint identified may be among the mildest.
"Embedded operating systems deployed in firmware tend to be old, not patched very frequently, and there are known vulnerabilities to virtually all of them," Knight said. Proofpoint's investigation highlights how vulnerable connected devices are and how easy it is for hackers to take advantage of them.
Hacking The Home
Craig Heffner, a security researcher that teaches a class on exploiting connected devices, told ReadWrite in December that his students are usually surprised by the lack of security in connected home devices.
"If you look at the vulnerabilities being published, they're not sophisticated," he said. "Usually, the vendor put a back door in the product and someone took advantage."
Worse, connected home devices often running on outdated software may be difficult or even impossible to patch. Security expert Bruce Schneier detailed the wild insecurities of the Internet of Things in a recent column for Wired:
[I]t's often impossible to patch the software or upgrade the components to the latest version. Often, the complete source code isn't available. Yes, they'll have the source code to Linux and any other open-source components. But many of the device drivers and other components are just "binary blobs" — no source code at all. That's the most pernicious part of the problem: No one can possibly patch code that's just binary.

The Sound Of Music May Have Been Composed By The Machine
Guest author Melissa Olsen is a passionate fan of classical music and is currently the marketing director of Morbie.
Early this year, Swedish development company DoReMIR Research finally released its widely-praised ScoreCleaner app, a program that takes musical notation with impressive accuracy. It's been promoted as the answer for would-be-composers who need help converting their ideas into something more shareable in the musical community. It's a great example of machines helping humans produce art as music.
It's not alone, of course. There are many more examples of machines helping the musical process along. It was a reverse talk-back circuit that gave us the gated reverb of the 80's (think of the drums from "In the Air Tonight") and auto-tuning gave us the distinctive sound of Daft Punk's greatest hits.
On a more advanced level, we also have vocal synthesizers now: the Japanese Vocaloids, programmable "singers" in a box who can be made to sing the compositions of whomever happens to own the program. Machines, it seems, have been helping composers do their work for quite a while.
In fact, they might be able to replace the composers already.
The Artificial Creator
Enter such visionaries as David Cope, who is responsible for the controversial Emmy and the later but still controversial Emily Howell. Emmy was the first of Cope's fascinating creations, a program of Experiments in Musical Intelligence (EMI) that eventually became so advanced that it could recreate famous composers' musical styles in new compositions.
How did it work? Essentially, Cope fed Bach's compositions to the program in order to establish a database whereby the composer's patterns could be deduced. Then he added another database for deriving Bach's rules of composition. This wasn't just the standard way he strung notes together but also when he went against his own "formulae" (or deviated from his own standard). And then he added classifications of phenomena found in music.
The result? By 1987, Emmy's Bach-style compositions were being played to a speechless audience at the University of Illinois. And polarizing listeners around the world.
A Composer Without a Soul
Cope's work with Emmy and the program he regards as her daughter, Emily Howell (a more interactive composition program that actually engages Cope in an exchange that helps it put together music gradually through associations and Cope's preferences), has elicited powerful responses in many people. Some welcome it, but perhaps even more view it with distrust.
Critics have complained that Emmy's work had no "soul" … even though several of them said the opposite of the same pieces before they were told who or what Emmy was.
The fear seems to be that this technology is an incursion into what many think the "final frontier" of human qualities: creativity. Indeed, given the frightening success of Emmy's work, some might even say this incursion is an outright invasion, from such a perspective. But a core part of the problem has to do with the argument that creativity or emotional meaning can only stem from "a soul."
The idea of a soul isn't something we can really properly explain. It's not even something we really understand, which is probably why there's a tendency to imagine it as something divorced from machines (which we can explain and understand). But it's an important point in this question of music coming from the machine. After all, if one really looks at the relation between the artist, art, and the viewer, isn't the "soul" of art more a function of the observer's perception than a possession of the artist him/her/itself?
"Real people" have produced art that's been called "soulless." Cope's program has produced music that some have found desperately moving. Why should the artificiality of an artwork's creator render the art itself any less genuine for the observer affected by it?
The Future Of AC And Music
Using mathematics and formulae to create art isn't new. Many classical composers, Mozart included, were already doing it long before. Much of the resistance to Emmy seems to be in its removal of the human from the process of creation, its ability to do all the work itself.
Still, Emmy had its limitations. Cope himself stopped using it and "trashed it" by destroying its extensive database, doing so partly out of concern that its very success at what it did, its amazing productivity, was becoming its own curse. For even the most beautiful of artworks can be dulled somewhat by relentless repetition of its theme.
Cope's more interactive program, the second-generation Emily Howell, is less reliant on reproduction by repetition. It also doesn't make the human composer fully unnecessary to the process, so it might be (slightly) less alarming to those who received Emmy with such negativity.
But even with Emmy, humans were never fully unnecessary. It took humans to process and draw personal meaning from its works, as noted above. And if the day comes that people come up with programs that can do that as well, that can respond to stimuli like music with that sort of full-fledged perception, who can still argue about soullessness in the machine then?

Also the template you get it with looks like something designed in 1999. I can't imagine what type of website you could ever use this on and make it fit.
Sorry guys, but there are much better free versions out there.
Hello - The module was created 5 1/2 years ago before the big let down from apple not having flash in their devices. We are now working on a new HTML 5 based version to be released in 2014.
Oh and the product is perfect as well :)
Thank you very much for the vote da8iwr!
Pity for you I'm not available for marriage, I already have a relationship with a beautiful woman! :-) Anyway I'm glad you liked the module, you should take a look at the plugin version of ValAddThis too.


text: Dem Sheriff Wants 'Assault Weapons' Ban, Private Gun Sale Regulations Print article Send a Tip by AWR Hawkins 8 May 2014 post a comment On May 7th, Flagler County Sheriff Jim Manfre (D) told the Democratic Progressive Caucus of Florida that he would like to see an "assault weapons" ban and "regulation of private gun sales"--especially those sales "which often take place at gun shows." Manfre is one of only four elected Democrats in Flagler county. According to The Daytona Beach News-Journal, Manfre described an "assault weapons" ban as "sensible gun control." He added, "In my opinion, there is no reason to have an assault weapon," and he suggested that the continued availability of these weapons threatens to drive up the number of officers killed each year. On April 7th, Breitbart News highlighted a study by Quinnipiac University's Mark Gius, which showed that "murder rates were 19.3 percent higher when the federal ['assault weapons'] ban (AWB) was in effect." Manfre also said he supports a bigger "database for background checks that includes alcoholics and mentally ill people, who voluntarily commit themselves to institutions or rehab centers."

Cornbread Lyrics - The Blue Dogs
Your shining lips remind me of a mountain stream
Your cool blue eyes straight from a dream
Your breath smells like cornbread
Sometimes I think about you in the dead of night
When the lights are low and all is right
And I'm eating cornbread
Don't you know it gives my heart the jitters
Every time I bite into those fritters
And it always seems to take me back to those good ole days
When the injuns gave the pilgrims the good good goodness of maize
Sometimes I think about you in the checkout line by the candy bars
There stands a sign, discounts on cornbread
Discounts on cornbread, discounts on cornbread, discount on cornbread
Don't you know it wipes away my frown
Every time that cornbread coming round
Vitamin just stone ground???

A few weeks ago, in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's story on the opening of Vincent van Gogh and the Painters of the Petit Boulevard at the St. Louis Art Museum, one interested attendee claimed that he came to the exhibit with one question: "Why is this guy who led such a terrible life and only sold one painting during his lifetime -- why is he No. 1?"
Though it may seem odd to rank artists like Billboard pop stars, it's actually an accurate reflection of how the art world works. Art is a business, just like any other, but its products are so attractive that it's easy to forget the economic reality that drives the industry. It's a business built on star power, and its biggest stars are the ones who have suffered from effects of ill health, or penury, or the crushing weight of their own genius. The world loves a suffering artist and distrusts the successful, well-adjusted one.
In the history of modern art, Vincent van Gogh has become the reigning icon of the suffering genius and one of the biggest moneymakers in the history of art -- to put it bluntly, he's No. 1. Van Gogh's art is rarely discussed apart from his life; as a result, it seems impossible to understand van Gogh's paintings as anything other than the perfect index of his life history. Their curving, swirling lines look as if they were born of the artist's fevered low points; the impasto brushstrokes are as raw and unrefined as the man himself; the riotous colors could only be the product of this wildly imaginative, absinthe-addled, epileptic mind.
The current exhibition at the St. Louis Art Museum is enjoying record attendance because of its prominent featuring of van Gogh's work. But Vincent van Gogh and the Painters of the Petit Boulevard is not actually about van Gogh the suffering genius. The exhibition attempts to pluck van Gogh from his proverbial lonely garret, place him in a specific historical context and examine his relationship to his artistic colleagues and an emerging artistic avant-garde.
Dr. Cornelia Homburg, the St. Louis Art Museum's curator of modern art, organized the exhibition. Homburg knows quite well that art superstardom can detract from understanding art history. Her superb effort from 1999, Beckmann and Paris, made striking points about Max Beckmann's interests and artistic ambitions that had been all but lost to history. With Vincent van Gogh and the Painters of the Petit Boulevard, Homburg invites us to consider van Gogh as one of a handful of artists clustered around Paris's Montmartre district during the late 1880s. Van Gogh considered himself one of the artists of the petit boulevard, in contrast to the established Impressionists of the grand boulevard. Besides van Gogh, this group included Paul Gauguin, his synthetist colleague Emile Bernard, the neo-Impressionists Paul Signac and Georges Seurat, and such other contemporaries as Charles Angrand, Louis Anquetin, Camille Pissarro, Lucien Pissarro and Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec.
Modest in scope and manageable in scale, the exhibition is arranged by subject matter, with rooms devoted to portraits, nightlife, landscapes and scenes of Paris. The canvases are arranged "on the line" (at perfect eye level) and set fairly close to one another, in a style reminiscent of late-19th-century exhibition practices. Another delightful nod to such practices is the bold choice of wall colors: one room is periwinkle, the next deep purple and the next goldenrod. The insistent colors on the walls heighten the effects of the colors on the canvases.
Seeing these works "in the flesh" leads to some surprising revelations and visual delights. Georges Seurat's practice of painting pointillist frames around his works, in pieces such as "Study for 'Chahut'" (1889), is humorous but also quite telling about Seurat's approach to his art. And although Seurat and Signac use the pointillist technique of dividing colors into thousands of discrete dots, their figures and forms never threaten to dissolve -- on the contrary, they feel rather solid, with an almost classical weight to them.
The same can be said about the pointillist experiments of Lucien and Camille Pissarro. Camille Pissarro's "Haymakers Resting" (1891), although vibrant in color, maintains the earthy solidity of works by earlier artists, such as Jean-François Millet. Lucien Pissarro's "Cathedral of Gisors" (1888) is so finely wrought it evokes the idyllic landscapes of Claude Lorraine or Nicolas Poussin.
In terms of landscape, the boldest experiments belong to Gauguin, Bernard and van Gogh himself. But their experimentation takes wildly different forms. Gauguin and Bernard produce scenes that border on the surreal. Gauguin's "The Yellow Tree" (c. 1892) and Bernard's "The Cliffs of Yport" (1892), with its pink precipices and red cow, are masterworks of the oddly alluring, somber synthetism both artists experimented with during this period. On the other hand, van Gogh's landscapes, including "Wheat Field with Cypresses" and "Olive Orchard" (both from 1889), look as if they're ready to vibrate right off the canvas, their busy brushstrokes lining up like iron pilings drawn to a magnet.
The gallery focusing on "Entertainment and Nightlife" offers up the most delectable, widest sampling of art in the show -- and the images are the most revealing about life on the fringes of polite Parisian society. Bernard's "The Hour of the Flesh" (1885-86) captures the cold anonymity with which men and women negotiate business and sex. Toulouse-Lautrec's "At the Café La Mie" (1891) gives a glimpse into the lives of café drunkards, drawn and droopy-eyed. And a series of small pen and watercolor pieces by Bernard captures humorous, telling vignettes of café life.

Glenwood Springs, Colo. (AP) A woman is suing an amusement park claiming she suffered permanent injuries after colliding with another rider in an alpine coaster.
Linda Pappas alleges no one warned her someone was stopped in front of her in another car while she rode the "Canyon Flyer," a ride similar to a roller coaster that allows people to control their speed as they slide on the tracks.
But officials at the Glenwood Caverns Adventure Park say the collision was Pappas' fault and that she failed to follow safety instructions.
Pappas says she injured her left shoulder, left foot and back during the ride in Glenwood Springs in 2006. She blames the collision and her injuries on the way the ride was built.
The owners of the park say they have had "Very Few" incidents in more than 300,000 rides on the alpine coaster since 2005.

CAPE CORAL, FL- Cape Coral's phones have been ringing off the hook lately. The reason? Folks wanting smaller trash cans from waste removal company Waste Pro. At a recent council meeting Councilman Kevin McGrail inadvertently told residents to call if they would rather change their 96 gallon can for a smaller 65 gallon one. He negected to tell them to call Waste Pro not council offices.
Since Wednesday council's administrative assistant has fielded more than 200 calls on the subject. Waste Pro says if you want to change, wait until March and then call the number on the top of your can. 945-0800.

This weekend, two readers sent us very similar "holiday creep" photos from two different kinds of retailers. Secret Consumerist synchronicity? Maybe. Or maybe the week before Christmas is now the universal time to put Valentine's Day stuff out. [More]

Target Also Hauls Out Valentine's Day Stuff In Mid-December
In the poll on our post from Monday about a Kmart that has already hauled out the stuffed animals and cards for Valentine's Day, the wishes of our readership are clear: you don't want to see Valentine's Day stuff out until January at the earliest. Unfortunately, our readers don't run the world, and certainly don't run big-box discount stores. Reader L. sent along this photo from a Target store in Florida. [More]
