Is Preventing Fragmentation Needed in Today's Environment?
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Today the number of files stored on volumes is much greater than in times past. The increase in the number of files not only necessitates larger storage capacities but, due to inherent fragmentation problems, puts a burden on local disk file systems to keep files stored contiguously.
As files are deleted, the space the deleted files formerly occupied will be randomly spread across the disk(s). These non-contiguous segments of available space encourage new files to be created in places where they can't be written contiguously.
Fragmentation will slow system performance and hurt user productivity. Worse yet, as fragmentation levels increase for larger files that are not addressed, they will get up into levels where one can start experiencing reliability problems.
The exclusive IntelliWrite? technology prevents fragmentation (up to 85% of it) from being written to the hard drive by writing the files intelligently. The benefits are readily evident: continuous peak performance, and no administrative overhead for IT departments.

There are games of chance and games of skill. Golf certainly is a game of skill and the best way to improve your game is to tweak things now and again.
While enjoying your Hilton Head vacation, make sure you sign up to attend at least one of the programs offered at our top-notch Hilton Head golf academy so you can score lower and enjoy the game even more. Even if you don't think you need to tweak your game, you should consider getting a friend or family member to sign up for a program or two then you can just tag along for moral support (wink-wink, nudge-nudge).
In fact, the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy is currently running a special for 10% off if you sign up for a multi-day program. If another golfer signs up with you, you get 15% off. The two-day programs offer a 4:1 ratio for three hours of instruction per day, nine holes of golf daily and much more. The three-day programs also have a 4:1 ratio for four hours of instruction per day, 18 holes of golf and more.
The Golf Academy is led by former PGA Tour player Doug Weaver. As Director of Instruction Weaver manages the Palmetto Dunes golf academy and supervises all golf instruction. "The two- and three-day schools are great because they have a slow pace and you can enjoy learning at whatever your playing level," Weaver says.
In addition to the multi-day programs, the academy offers nine golf programs about an hour in length nearly every day of the week. Each class focuses on different aspects of the game, including beginner golf, back to basics and the short game. The programs are appropriate for golfers from ages 12 to adult. Eleven teaching pros, some of whom are former PGA Tour professionals, provide hands-on instruction to golfers with varying levels of proficiency.
Weaver says the Power and Distance Class helps you learn the five different ways to hit the ball harder and more precisely using moves that are best for your body type. Every golfer's body creates power uniquely. The experts will show you the five major power moves and which ones you should focus on.
Another good Hilton Head golf lesson we offer is the Mental Golf Workshop, which helps you concentrate better and keep your energy high. In short, you learn how to concentrate like a pro and maintain it.
Speaking of concentration, the Palmetto Dunes Golf Academy has created a class that zeroes in on Bubba Watson's unique approach to golf. "Bubba is one of the greatest players of our time," Weaver says. "He's relaxed and care free. He's casual yet very competitive and he understands it's a game of opposites – the harder you try, the worse you do."
Unsure which school is right for you? Contact us for more information or to make a reservation for any of our Hilton Head golf lessons at (866) 744-7558.

That's my name, don't wear it out
Katherine Noyes put together a brief piece for PC World today about Linux release names which, overall, she seems to consider "silly." In the process, she omits a great bit of detail on the "what" and "why" aspect of distro communities and how they come up with these "silly" names.
Digitally speaking, from a purely anthropological standpoint it is far from silly, and actually it's quite an interesting topic, though Noyes seems to race through it without giving much detail.
So let me help out here.
Debian: Release names come from "Toy Story." As humorous as it is simple, this naming convention is one of the best. An interesting corollary to this is the Debian-based CrunchBang naming convention mirrors the first letter of the current Debian release, but matches it with a character from "The Muppet Show." So Debian "Squeeze" is translated in CrunchBang to "Statler. "Wheezy" begets "Waldorf." Statler and Waldorf, of course, are the two old guys in the balcony in "The Muppet Show."
Linux Mint: I particularly like the naming convention Clement Lefevbre has come up with for Linux Mint. It's alphabetically a woman's name ending in "a." We're at Julia now. I asked Clement once what he'd do when he got to "Zelda" (or whatever the "Z" name will be for Linux Mint when they get that far . . . and they will), and he said that it was simple: Start with a name beginning with "A" and end the name in "e."
Ubuntu: We all know the drill here — SABDFL* Mark Shuttleworth comes up with an adjective and an animal with the same first letter and hands it down to a waiting community. Which is in complete contrast to . . .
Fedora: There is a formula here that the Fedora Project adheres to before all hell breaks loose and fistfights break out in the Fedora community while they vote on the release name. The formula is simple: "$CURRENT_RELEASE_NAME is a (whatever it is — i.e., city, body of water, person, thing) and so is $NEXT_RELEASE_NAME." Looking at Fedora 15 "Lovelock" to the current Fedora 16 "Verne," it goes like this: James Lovelock was a futurologist, and so was Jules Verne. Now how they got from Verne to Fedora 17's "Beefy Miracle" is a mystery for the ages.
OpenSUSE: OpenSUSE's naming convention . . . does OpenSUSE even have a naming convention for releases?
Got a distro that has a naming convention worthy of mentioning? Let me know.
*Self-appointed benevolent dictator for life, for those of you keeping score at home.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and has just started developing software in his new home office.)
Meanwhile, back at El Ranchito . . . .
Whew. Now that that's over . . . the second "that" being what's nebulously called "the holiday" and all its trimmings, we can now get back to serious discussions on FOSS.
Or not.
But first things first: SCALE 10X. The Southern California Linux Expo SCALE 10X will be held less than a month from now — on Jan. 20-22 — at the beautiful Hilton Los Angeles Airport hotel. In its 10th year, this first-of-the-year show in North America is shaping up to be one for the ages, and since it's a month earlier this year — taking advantage of the Martin Luther King holiday weekend — I have the sneaking suspicion that it's being obscured on people's radar because of the holiday season and, heck, SCALE is not for another couple of months anyway, right? Well, not this year. Again, it's January 20-22 — mark your calendars — and get yourself over to the registration page to sign up. Also, the $109/night deal for SCALE attendees at the Hilton still stands as well.
Now, how could you resist a weekend in L.A. with nearly 2,000 of your best friends?
Meanwhile, if you — for whatever misguided reason — have your domain registered on GoDaddy, today is the day to move it from the SOPA-supporting, arguably sexist domain registrant to another one that is more along the lines of your policies (unless, of course, you support SOPA and juvenile ads. Which of course begs the question: What are you doing reading this blog?). Here's a story about it from ReadWriteWeb outlining that Namecheap will donate a dollar for every transfer to the Elecronic Frontier Foundation. Go to it, folks.
Also, the rumors are true: I'm now using CrunchBang GNU/Linux as my primary distro and I'm getting more involved with that community as well. While I might be saying, "So long, and thanks for all the fish" to Fedora, my experience with the Fedora Project has been overall both pleasant and an education, and I like to think that all the connections and friendships made during that time weather this transition. I bring that up because people are saying "goodbye" when they really don't have to — I'll be around in a FOSS sense and, regardless of what distro you might use, bear in mind we're still essentially working for the same goal, albeit taking different paths.
(Larry Cafiero is one of the founders of the Lindependence Project and has just started developing software in his new home office.)
Five for Friday
Whew. Wrapping up the week after a 24-hour power outage in the wake of 70 mph gusts here in the Santa Cruz Mountains on Wednesday and Thursday, we have the following tidbits:
Speaking at SCALE: The SCALE team has been busy putting together the Southern California Linux Expo — that's SCALE 10X for those of you keeping score at home (and, as Giants play-by-play guy Duane Kuiper once added, "but why would you?") — and they've finalized the speakers for the sessions in the three-day first-of-the-year Linux expo in North America. It's a good lineup — yours truly had a talk accepted, and I know for sure that my neighbors over the hill Alison Chaiken and Akkana Peck are also in the lineup — and when the list has been finalized, we'll announce it here as well. Of course, yours truly and darling daughter have planned another upSCALE talk which should not be missed at SCALE 10X. Registration is open — don't wait: Click here to register. I'll wait.
SSHHHHHHHH: Carla Schroder wrote an excellent piece on tips and tricks for OpenSSH. For the uninitiated, OpenSSH is a powerful tool that lets you run applications remotely and allows you share files without having to set up a file server. If this interests you –and even if it doesn't — it's worth a look.
And they all came out and said "try me": The last few weeks have seen a tsunami of releases. November saw a flurry that included Fedora 16, the rolling release of OpenSUSE 12.1 (which, of course, begs the question: What happened to plain ol' 12?), Linux Mint 12 Lisa and CrunchBang's Statler. I've written about the latter and I'm more enamored each day with it, and I'll get around to the others next week. Cross my heart and scout's honor. Meanwhile, if you wanted to visit them and get a copy for your own personal test drive, no one would be happier than me.
You animal: Rikki Endsley wrote this outstanding piece on Network World entitled "Everything I Needed to Know about Linux I Learned from My Pets." The first line: "My relationship with my motley crew of cats and dogs is similar to my relationship with Linux. In both cases, I've learned that patience pays off, and life is better with than without them." Indeed.
Thinking globally, acting locally: Mother Nature is being reasonable just in time for Felton LUG to meet. As those of you locals know, we had to move the meeting to the first Saturday for November and December because of the CERT training (they are the emergency responders in crises, so we thank them and let them have our spot whenever they want) on our usual second Saturday of the month. For those of you who are still awake, Felton LUG will meet tomorrow, 2-6 p.m., at the solar-powered Felton Fire Station behind the Felton Community Center. No program this month — run what ya brung — and there could be an installfest kicking off January 2012.
Have a great weekend, everyone.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A former assistant manager at a Louisville Domino's Pizza has been arrested for stealing from the cash register, according to Louisville Metro Police.
Nicole Marie Huitt, age 29, worked for the Domino's Pizza on Westport Road, near N. Hurstbourne Parkway, between Jan. 2 and Feb. 6, according to an arrest warrant.
While working there, police say she took cash from the cash register and kept it for herself. She allegedly accomplished this by ringing up a cash purchase, then voiding out the purchase and keeping the cash.
Domino's Pizza lost a total of $827.10, police say.
When questioned about the missing cash, police say Huitt denied taking the money promised to pay it back anyway. She has not done so, according to the arrest warrant.
She was arrested on Wednesday night and charged with theft, according to police.

Expelled: Have You Seen It? What Did You Think?
Submitted by creationmoments on Sun, 2008-05-04 16:42
Though Darwinists desperately tried to keep it from being shown, they were unable to expel from movie theaters the controversial film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. The Scriptures say that "all things become visible when they are exposed by the light" (Eph. 5:13). In this case it was the light from movie projectors that exposed what Darwinists are doing to silence those who dare to disagree.
Did you see Expelled? If so, we want to hear what you thought of it.
- What impressed you the most?
- Did the film change your beliefs, one way or the other?
- What did you learn by watching the film?
We invite you to leave your comments. Yes, even evolutionists are invited to post a response. All we ask is that you make your point concisely and without using foul or insulting language. Because we're warning you – one foul word and your comments will be expelled from this blog!

Pawn shops in Virginia are getting ready for tougher regulations, to make sure no one tries to sell stolen goods. Pawn shops will now be required to keep photo ID's of anyone pawning or selling off items, on file for police. The new bill also calls for nothing to be accepted, if serial numbers are missing.
George Thomas, a longtime employee at Friedman's Loans in Richmond, says heisted electronics can be easy to spot if serial numbers are clearly marred.
"You'll see something where somebody's taken a file or a finger nail clipper and they'll try to scratch out the serial number on the bottom," described Thomas of some items customers have tried to pawn. Friedman's Loans owner John Goodman says he already won't accept anything with missing numbers.
However, the new legislation will require pawn shops across the state will be required to be just as picky, come July 1st. Democratic State Delegate Mamye Bacote sponsored the bill. In a previous interview, Bacote told NBC12 that investigators needed help tracking down stolen items.
"The state police asked us to do this," said Bacote.
Pawn shops are already required to send over a full list to police of all the items they take in, every day. Now, customers will also be required to have a photo ID scanned, and stored, for two years.
Like many pawn shops, Goodman also takes his own pictures.
"We have a database where we put in the customer's name, their address, all the pertinent ID information. We scan a picture of the ID. We take a photo of them," described Goodman of the process.
The bill originally aimed for pawn shops to photograph every single item they received. However, that idea was dropped since sending thousands of pictures to police every day would likely overwhelm the system.

This article is from Menlo Park Police. Similar van and man have also tried to talk to girls around a couple of schools in East Palo Alto, so police there are working with MP. We need to catch this guy! EPA police put out a flier today through the schools

Do our girls know what to do if a man like this tries to grab them? I hope all of them are learning self defense.

Only 3 comments?? That's what happens when something happens to lower income people on the east side. I need to remember that in Shallow Alto people get hysterical when their kid steps in dog poop.

Accessing NTFS from a Linux live distro
A Linux live distro may be just what you need to recover a Windows computer brought down by a system problem or virus attack. Knoppix creator Klaus Knopper gives you some tips for accessing NTFS from live Linux.
Live distros are designed to boot from the CD or DVD drive of a computer that may have a very different system on the hard disk. In many cases, the computer is a Windows PC with a hard disk formatted for NTFS. This article covers some important facts you may need to know when accessing NTFS from a live Linux system.

There is a first time for everything. Just ask Phil Jackson and Derek Fisher, the newly formed president-head coach combination of the New York Knicks.
Fisher, 39, was still an active NBA player in the postseason last month but was courted heavily by the Knicks when Steve Kerr reneged on his agreement with Jackson. The New York Times first reported the two sides agreed to a deal Monday afternoon.
The two sides are in the process of finalizing a five-year, $25 million deal, according to Yahoo Sports.
The Knicks have scheduled a news conference at 11:30 a.m. ET Tuesday to "make a major announcement."
Jackson, hired in April as team president of the Knicks, said in his introductory press conference he is looking for a coach who can put the team game on the floor at Madison Square Garden. Jackson's top reported options were all proteges with a past that traces to the triangle offense, including Fisher. As of Memorial Day, Fisher said he wasn't even sure he wanted to be a head coach. After meeting with Jackson, he was apparently persuaded that now is the time to take over a franchise that was mediocre under Mike Woodson last season and might not possess the immediate financial means for a rapid turnaround.
It is likely Fisher received reassurances from Jackson, who signed a five-year, $60 million deal to take over the team, that patience will be practiced as the Knicks go about rebuilding the roster.
---An age limit could be coming to the NBA that requires players to be two years out of high school before joining the league. However, commissioner Adam Silver said there is no gain in discussing a change until a director of the NBA Players Association is in place.
The NBPA last had a director in 2013 when Billy Hunter was forced out.
Currently NCAA players are eligible to enter the draft after their freshman season. All of the top four prospects for The Sports Xchange -- Andrew Wiggins, Joel Embiid, Jabari Parker and Julius Randle -- played just one season after high school.
---Kentucky coach John Calipari and the Cleveland Cavaliers discussed a seven-year, $60 million-plus contract, according to Yahoo Sports.
The proposed deal would have made Calipari the president and coach, giving him having final say over roster moves over general manager David Griffin.
Calipari ended up returning to Kentucky after receiving a new seven-year, $52.5 million contract loaded with annual retention bonuses to reward his loyalty to the program.
---Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade was fined $5,000 for violating the anti-flopping rules during Game 2 of the NBA Finals.
The incident occurred with 4:09 remaining in the second quarter of Miami's 98-96 win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night at AT&T Center.

The probability, identification, and prevention of rare events in power systems
Chen, Qiming (2004) The probability, identification, and prevention of rare events in power systems. PhD thesis, Iowa State University.
Full text available as:
This dissertation addresses power system rare events (or major power system blackouts) comprehensively. It first proposes the use of cluster probability model to predict the long term tendency of cascading in power system. The proposed model successfully explains the distribution of existing observed statistics and gives a very well fit. The dissertation also proposes the use of the affinity index to evaluate the likelihood of power system multiple contingencies. In order to identify higher order contingencies, a systematic way is proposed to identify power system initiating contingencies (including higher-order). We use B-matrix to represent the connective of functional groups (also called protection control groups). It is the first to give the formula in matrix form to evaluate the probabilities of fault plus stuck breaker contingencies. The work extends the conventional contingency list by including a subset of high- order contingencies, which is identified through topology processing. The last part of this work also proposes the use of DET (dynamic event tree) as an operational defense tool to cascading events in power system. We tested our DET concept on a small system, which proved the effectiveness of DET as a decision support tool for control-room operator.

Today, I Thought of You
I remembered when I was newly married to my fireman and sometimes life just seemed unfair. We were newlywed though and reveled in every second that our dirt-poor existence allowed us to be together.
As I started my run this morning, I thought of you. I remembered when I was newly married to my fireman and sometimes life just seemed unfair. I went from living with my parents to living with a roommate who was gone so often I was sometimes scared out of my wits on lonely nights. We were newlywed though and reveled in every second that our dirt-poor existence allowed us to be together. We were young. Life was young. We had a lifetime of experiences still to come.
As I rounded the first bend in the road, I thought of you. I remembered when I was pregnant with our first child and we went shopping for baby items. My firefighter kept asking the store clerk about the latest safety protocol on infant car seats. Then he test drove all of the "stretchers" (which the rest of the sane world calls strollers) down the aisle of the store before deciding which one was safest, most stable, and therefore acceptable to carry our baby. I stressed over how far away, at what job, or on what call my fireman would be when I had to send him a page saying it was time. I considered the possibility of birthing our child alone, even though I didn't want to.
As I turned up the next street, I thought of you. I remembered the day my firefighter chose to switch careers. Sure, volunteer firefighting is thrilling and being a paramedic is rewarding. But he wanted to be able to advance more without becoming administrative level. He wanted a 9:00-5:00 job so he could be home with each night. He wanted to learn more and grow more as a person. Then September 11 happened and as we watched in horrific awe, I knew that his new landscape design job was not going to fulfill our family's needs nor abate his desire to return to firefighting and paramedicine.
As I reached my halfway point in the run, I thought of you. I remembered the day my fireman graduated from the fire academy again and began his first full-time firefighter-medic career. I can still feel the goose bumps I felt as I watched the ceremony while I cradled our new baby girl, with our toddler at my side. As she watched her Daddy, her hero, give his speech, the smile on her face could split a heart wide open.
As I ran past the creek at the end of the road, I thought of you. I remembered the resentment I felt as my fireman packed up all his stuff to go spend a shift living it up at the firehouse, while I slogged through dirty diapers, piles of laundry, and ABC fridge magnets that always ended up in the arch of my foot. No matter how little sleep I got each night, he was still the one who got to stay in bed because he had work the next day. Yeah, work! I could show him a thing or two about real stinking work! Try staying home and raising kids, rather than basking in communal glory over firefighting deity status each shift.
As our neighbor zipped past way too quickly for a residential street, I thought of you. I remembered when the topic of jealousy was so big it created its own dreary weather inside my head. I was mostly jealous of time. He had time to pee in private, but I didn't. He had time to watch newly released movies at the firehouse, but I didn't. He had time to get in shape by playing ultimate Frisbee at work, but I didn't! He had adult friends and actually held adult conversations with them, rather than reciting nursery rhymes and Pat-A-Cake for the thousandth time. I couldn't even remember what an adult conversation sounded like, but he didn't seem to care.
As I turned back onto our street, I thought of you. I remembered the day I chose to give up my bitterness and resentment because if I didn't, I knew it would destroy our marriage. I went to church and found a stay-at-home-mom's bible study group that met every Thursday morning, with or without kids. I went. I'm shy so mostly I listened at first and absorbed the fact that these women battled resentment and jealousy too, and only one of them was a fire wife. I wasn't crazy, just human!

A 19-year-old man has been charged in connection with three teens being shot outside a community center, and a second suspect is being sought.
The three teens shot had just performed community service at the Joe E. Amayo Sr. Argentine Community Center in the 2500 block of Metropolitan Avenue. The victims and suspected shooters had gang ties, police said.
More than 20 shots were fired from a large-caliber handgun, authorities said. Some of the bullets pierced nearby homes and vehicles.
Kyle C. Longdon of KCK was charged Thursday with three counts of aggravated battery and one count of criminal discharge of a firearm at an occupied building and one count of criminal discharge of a firearm into an unoccupied dwelling.
Longdon is being held on a $250,000 bond.
The second suspect is being sought. If you have any information, particularly in identifying other suspects, call the TIPS Hotline at 816-474-TIPS or Roger Villanueva of the Wyandotte County District Attorney's Office at 913-573-2851.

Sean Smerczynski is officially a Highlander.
The senior from Topsfield, an all-star linebacker who left St. John's Prep last week for personal reasons, has transferred to the Pingree School in South Hamilton. He was on school's football field with the rest of his new teammates yesterday for his first day of practice.
"I've known (head) coach (Chris) Powers as a youth coach and neighbor my entire life," said the 5-foot-11, 220-pound Smerczynski, who started at middle linebacker for the Eagles the past three seasons and was a Catholic Conference All-League first team selection. "I'm thrilled to be able to play for him, and I know almost all the players on the team.
"I will never, ever forget the quality coaching I received at St. John's from coach (Jim) O'Leary and the rest of his staff."
The Holy Cross-bound Smerczynski played a key role in leading the Eagles to a Division 1 Super Bowl championship last year.
Powers, who has been the Pingree football coach since the inception of the program in 2005, has coached his teams to the NEPSAC Bowl three times and won two New England championships.
"We are very excited that Sean chose us," said Powers. "I've known him a long time, and having him as part of our linebacking group will be good for the others. We're very young there and while they performed well as freshmen, having a senior there will pay dividends. He will help the others and is a good addition to our program."
The Highlanders, who plan to keep Smerczynski at middle linebacker, open their season on Saturday, Sept. 21, at Portsmouth (R.I.) Abbey before returning for their home opening the following Saturday against Tilton.
It's interesting to note that Pingree and St. John's Prep will scrimmage each other for a second straight season this Monday, the day after St. John's returns from its preseason camp in Wayne, Maine.
"It worked on well for us because most of the teams in our league play the same style they do," said Powers of last year's scrimmage vs. the Eagles. "It's a good test to see what we have to work on before the regular season begins."

Nebraska Millet Harvest Nearing Completion
Proso millet harvest continues to progress ahead of average across the panhandle. Much of the crop was harvested before this past weekends snowfall. Scoular Grain Company Merchandiser Logan Snyder says harvest is nearly complete. He says the strong market is offsetting the lower yields from this this year's hot dry conditions
While yields were hit severely hit by this summer's drought, Snyder says test weights have been above normal. The only issues he has seen with the crop is a dockage for the presence for weeds and despite the drought the crop has been slow to dry down. Snyder has received a lot of millet with moisture above 13 percent moisture. Ideally Scoular would like to see those levels down a few more points.

A sunspot erupted on Tuesday, January 7th sending a stream of energy speeding towards Earth.
When the energy slams into the Earth's protective outer atmosphere, this could produce an impressive Aurora Borealis, also know as the Northern Lights, over Alaska on Thursday.
Below is a video of the explosion, known as a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME).
The video comes from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
SpaceWeather.com says the "snow in this movie is caused by solar protons striking the spacecraft's CCD camera. A veritable blizzard of speckles develops as the CME emerges into full view. Indeed, many of the protons are accelerated by shock waves at the forefront of the expanding cloud."
The sun is a peak period for energy with the latest CME coming from an especially impressive sunspot.
"The source of all this activity is AR1944, one of the biggest sunspots of the past decade. The sprawling active region is more than 200,000 km wide and contains dozens of dark cores. Its primary core, all by itself, is large enough to swallow Earth three times over." says SpaceWeather.com.

1 1/2 cups

1 1/2 cups
soy sauce
2 cups
oyster sauce
1 tablespoon
garlic, minced
1 1/2 teaspoons
dried oregano
8 (6 ounce) fillets
filet mignon
1/2 cup

1 teaspoon

Absolutely incredible! This is the BEST steak I have ever had. I made this for a romantic meal for my husband and myself with garlic mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. He (ever the meat-and-potatoes man) was in heaven.
Babs--oyster sauce is a thick, brown sauce that would either be in the condiment or Asian food section of your grocery (I had to ask for help finding it in my mid-sized grocery, but they had it.) 'Dynasty' was the name of the brand I found. You can also get it online.
(3/3/2006) I'm still making, and LOVING, this recipe, and I just wanted to add--the marinade freezes beautifully, so I make the full batch of marinade and freeze half of it (as I've never made it for 8 people). Also, my latest addition to the meal is putting sliced baby Portobellos in the marinade (just dip them and then take them out, the marinade soaks in QUICKLY) after I remove the steaks. Saute them with a little marinade until tender and serve on top or on the side of the filets. Heavenly!
I would have rated this a one- or two-star recipe, but my husband liked it enough to rate it as a four, so I'm averaging our ratings. I marinated the beef for the five hours the recipe called for, and the taste was entirely too strong for me -- it masked the beef taste entirely. My husband, who likes steak sauce, likened it to beef with the steak sauce built in. If I ever decided to make this again, I'd marinate it for only an hour or two.

This recipe was awesome!! The meat was so tender it was like cutting through butter. I was only planning on eating half of my steak, but their was no way I could stop eating until their was nothing left :)
Completely over the top for steak house flavor! I followed the recipe to the "T", and BBQ'd the steaks to med-rare. The ONLY thing I changed was that I didn't want to purchase a shallot for the final butter mixture, so I just used all green onion. I will also add that I made extra on the butter/wine/green onion and served it to be spread on French bread. This was positively sensational, and I disagree with it being a lot of extra work. It was a snap to prepare. I served it with garlic mashed potatoes, a green salad, the French bread, and of course... the left over Burgundy wine! Everyone raved, and I was pleased beyond words! It did make quite a bit of marinade sauce, but that will be fun trying it out on different cuts of meat and the George Foreman grill. Yummmmmmmmmmmmm!
Incredible! This was an excellent recipe. My only comment is that I wish the person who listed the recipe would have indicated whether it's red or white burgundy wine. Also, in the supermarket I could only find oyster "flavored" sauce which was in the oriental aisle. I'm not sure whether this was the correct product, it was very thick. I used the red burgundy and this oyster "flavored" sauce and it turned out fabulous. So, I assume that I guessed right with the wine and sauce. I would recommend using a little less canola oil for the sauce because it really doesn't seem that necessary. And I didn't use the grill but rather broiled the fillets. I highly recommend everyone try this recipe, the flavors are incredible. We had the fillets with frozen shoestring fries. The sauce over the fries was excellent!
I made this last night and it was delicious. I could kick myself for not taking a picture though. I followed the recipe almost exactly except we didn't have any charcoal so we put the tenderloins in the oven on broil (approx 500 degrees) for about 7 minutes on each side. I let them rest for another 10 minutes before dolloping the butter on and placing them in the 200 degree oven. They came out perfect -pink inside but not too pink. (The tenderloins I used were approximately an inch thick) My husband and daughter both loved this recipe. I served the steak with garlic mashed potatos and steamed asparagus. I will make this recipe again but next time I promise to take a picture. Thanks, Penelope Holmes for a fabulous recipe!
Very good, I overmarinated it the first time and left the filets in overnight and they absorbed too much of the wine and didn't taste like steak at all anymore. I've since used it on several different cuts of steak and marinated it only 5 hours and they turned out terrific. Family requests it now and even my picky 8 year old loved it.
The marinade has an unusual flavor due to the oyster sauce which is very good; the steak comes out very flavorful. I like oyster sauce very much (used extensively in Chinese cooking) however it does contain MSG so be forewarned as many people must avoid MSG added to food. My husband really enjoys this. I would recommend scaling the recipe way down if only making 2 or 4 steaks as it yields a whole lot of liquid. I also think the added butter/wine topping for serving, while adding a very rich buttery sauce, can be easily ommitted. To cool the liquid down faster, I put it in the freezer for a short time, and I also don't marinade longer than an hour or two max as I find the flavor becomes too strong.

Relaxing & Fun Time Spent on Marco Island
Review submitted: August 8, 2010 Date of arrival: July 31, 2010
The time we spent at your house on Marco Island was very relaxing and fun. We enjoyed the pool and pool area a lot. The view of the canal with dolphins in it was fantastic. The sunset on Marco Island is really is beautiful and awesome. We enjoyed having breakfest and dinner with burgers & ribs poolside a lot. The bedrooms and the couch were really comfortable and the furniture is stylish. We made a trip to the Everglades, where we had a boat trip and were able to see some aligators and were even able to hold a small one in our hands, it was fantastic! We also enjoyed shopping at the Miromar Mall and Coastland Mall were we bought lot's of cheap stuff. Wallmart was very impressive for us, especially the 10 meter shelf of cornflakes.
Thank you for letting us stay at your house.
Thank you, that we could have a fantastic time here!

Enjoyable Stay at Your Villa
Review submitted: August 7, 2010 Date of arrival: July 24, 2010
We've all thouroughly enjoyed staying in your villa for our week on Marco Island, and for that we are incredibly grateful you gave permission for us to use your beautiful holiday home. We especially enjoyed the pool! It was larger than we had anticipated, which was cool. During our stay we did many fun activities but I think the greatest for us all collectively was Captain Ron's Everglades Adventure where we were given a 3 hour tour of the Everglades on our very own jet ski's, we were even lucky enough to witness 2 baby dolphins swim by us, among adults and the odd manatee. Again thank you, family F. from Scotland, Hungary and England.

Relaxing Time on Marco Island
Review submitted: August 7, 2010 Date of arrival: July 15, 2010
We have had a very relaxing time at your house on Marco Island. It was so easy to slip onto a comfortable holiday mode especially out by the pool waving to boats as they passed by! The Everglades National Park boat tou out to the Gulf of Mexico is not to be missed. Dolphins galore swimming after us. We used the fishing tackle on the jetty (dock) and caught a huge catfish... the tip for bait is most definately "Beef Jerky"!! We will be coming back again soon. Thank Rudi & Dorothy for managing this fully equipped house.

Our Fifth Stay
Review submitted: May 5, 2010 Date of arrival: July 2, 2009
Our fifth stay at Rudi's & Dorothy's Marco Island villa. It feels like home when we stay here. The weather and our surroundings have been just perfect. If we had to describe our perfect holiday, it would have to be the times we spent at the villa on Marco Island.
We spent a wonderful time shelling on our trip on the "Calusa Spirit" run by Marco Island Watersport. You can book at the Marriott beach hut (see Marco Review) absolutely excellent.
To soon is it's time to return to England. Each time we go we leave a piece of our hearts on Marco.

NEWPORT–For the 2013-2014 North Country girl's basketball team, the future is wide open.
Only four players are returning to coach Christiane Brown's squad this year, and that means every position is up for grabs.
"Who are we... that is a great question," Brown said as our interview got underway. "We are so young and it might be a little too early for me to tell you who we are as we need to grow and develop as team before I can tell you that, but I can tell you that we are a group that is dedicated, very focused, eager to learn and so far, look to be great teammates."
STANSTEAD,QE-Ryan Paul scored three goals, and three other Falcons had a goal each as North Country defeated Alexander Galt in the final game of the Can-Am Classic on Saturday afternoon.

JAY-One year removed from coming within a goal of winning the Division II State Championship, the North Country girls hockey team finds themselves in a whole new world.
With two years of success after several trying seasons, it was deemed appropriate to move the program to Division I, a division that has seen just two teams become state champions (BFA St. Albans, Essex) since the league's inception.
JAY-The 2013-2014 North Country boys hockey team will be a family affair as the team is loaded with four pairs of siblings.
Said captain and older brother Ryan Paul on the familial feel of the team, "It is a really good thing. The team going to be much closer with so many siblings on the team, that is just the way it is."
The Falcons are coming off of a very strong 2012-13 season where they finished 15-6-2, and made it into the semi-finals for the second straight year.
Under new coach Ryan Jacobs, North Country is looking to make it as far, or further in 2014.
NEWPORT–When UCA announced that they would not be fielding a basketball program for the 2013-2014 season, it left multiple players without a venue to display their love of the game.
One athlete in particular was hit especially hard by the news; UCA senior Paul Saaman.
The high-flier, whose ariel assaults at the opposition's baskets have been known to leave jaws on the floor, had just endured a rough a soccer season where the team struggled to find a win, and now he was being grounded before he could take off for his final season on the hardwood.
NEWPORT–With numbers dwindling, interest waning and schedules conflicting, the United Christian Academy Crusaders will not be fielding a boy's or girl's basketball team this season.
Tony DeLaBruere, who by the end of last season was coaching both teams, expressed his feelings about his former teams not returning in 2013.
"It is too bad that they won't be able to put teams out there," DeLaBruere said on Tuesday. "We had a lot of success last year and I really feel for the kids that wanted to play, especially the seniors."

NEWPORT–What started out as a holiday tradition six years ago has now blossomed into two months of fundraising workouts to benefit oncology patients at the North Country Hospital.
Local fitness instructor Sharon Stewart has been hosting morning workouts at the Wellness Center on Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's day to raise funds for patients that are fighting with cancer, and this year, with help from the hospital and the Wellness Center, she has expanded the workouts to every Sunday in November and December.

NEWPORT–With Ed Duncan taking over the North Country boys basketball varsity coaching position, an opening was created at the JV level.
Late last week the school filled that position when they hired George Azur II as the new junior varsity boys basketball coach.
"I am really excited to get this opportunity and I can't wait to start the season," Azur said about his hiring.

"Pleasant on the nose, sweet, toasty oak nose with caramel overtones... Tastes rich and creamy with seared-oak flavors; caramel and vanilla notes linger on the front of the palate, but it is still soft enough to hold on the tongue even at 94 proof, with a big mouth-watering oaky finish. Long with a little spice, staying forward on the palate without the bitter bite found in older whiskies."
Prices, promotions and availability may vary by store and online.
Maker's Mark Bourbon
"The base aroma is buttered corn-on-the-cob with aeration bringing additional scents of vanilla and cinnamon. The palate entry showcases sweet breakfast cereal grain; at midpalate the corn dominates so thoroughly that you know that this could only be one of the best straight bourbons from Kentucky. Ends spirity and heated. One of America's benchmark spirits." 90-95 pts.

3.9/5 rDev +6.3%
Bottle: Poured a deep golden color ale with a huge pure white head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma consists of Belgian malt with some light spices which may include white pepper. Taste is a well balance mix between some semi-sweet Belgian malt, spices and light yeasty finish. Body is quite full with some excellent carbonation and no alcohol was detected. Nothing earth shattering to be found here but very good in any case.

4.22/5 rDev +15%
Picked this one up at ABS drinks in Winksele. Don't know why I decided to go for this beer exactly. Maybe the tacky label had something to do with it.
Pours a slightly hazy, golden brew with a nice, thick head that lasts for quite a while.
Smells fruity mainly: appels & grapes accompany a spicy aroma. Some roasty notes and notes of almonds become traceable as the beer warms.
Taste: Initially strangely sweet with apples and almonds. After this some roasty notes flow out in a mildly bitter, spicy finish that reveals some notes of alcohol. Overall though, the alcohol is hidden quite well.
The mouthfeel is smooth & pleasant. The beer has a very gentle carbonation wich makes this beer a nice quaffer..
This would be very drinkable too if it wasn't for the somewhat awkward sweetness.
I was expecting an average tripel, but this is actually really good. There's a lot going on and although it may be just a little too sweet for my taste this stuff was still able to pleasantly suprise me.

Bottled 22-02-05 BB 4 years after. Nice and lasting white head and a golden beercollor that's nice and clear. Nose is almond, maltyness, litle butter and quiet alcoholic as taste is also. Nice spicyness, quiet alcoholic, litle aple juice taste and moderate to low bitterness in the end. Well balanced beer and fitting carbonisation makes mouthfeel full and good. Enjoyed this one all the way but IMO nothing realy special.

4/5 rDev +9%
Appearance: An enticing brown-orange color sporting a foamy, snowy-white head that retains lustily.
Smell: Sweet apricot aromas, with malty, cereal-like, accents. Subtle, floral hops provide a nice background zest in the nose.
Taste: Rich, doughy bread with a distinct citrusy sweetness. A dab of orange marmalade on some fresh-from-the-oven biscuits captures an aspect of this beer's taste. A fresh hoppiness balances the brew out at the finish.
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied, with some invigorating fizziness. Leaves a thin, sticky film on the palate that smacks of citrus fruit.
Drinkability: Nice flavor, rather well-wounded, and without any great detriments. A rare brew that I am glad to have had the opportunity to sample.

330 ml. bottle. HGazy orange colour, with a head that fades too soon, though it leaves some lace. Fruity smell with some spices, nothing special. Medium body, smooth palate. Taste of fruits, spices, and some honey. Very standard, I could have one some other time, but I'm not really longing for it.

The food on board was delicious. My husband is a coeliac and was well looked after especially by Chef Henry in the Windjammer restaurant who made a chocolate cake for him. The Great Gatsby Dining Room was waiter service which we preferred for our evening dinner. The Park snack restaurant was great for getting cookies or crisps to nibble on in the afternoon. Water on board was free from restaurants and water dispensers around the pool area, where free ice cream or frozen yogurt was also available.
The entertainment was good, especially the shows. Dance, Karaoke, Quizzes, there was something for everyone. Our 15 year old son didn't think the entertainment for teenagers was great, but he made lots of friends with children his own age and he loved it, he can't wait to go on another one.
We stayed in an inner stateroom which was quite small but adequate.
Our last port was Palma where disembarkation was well organised and we were off the ship by 8.30. Taxis cost around €25 to the airport.

Barry Comprehensive School's student parliament success
4:50pm Monday 19th November 2012 in News
BARRY Comprehensive School's Student Parliament held its annual training day for newly elected members recently.
The parliament was set up three years ago by Miss S Morgan and some past students, to ensure learners have a real voice in shaping their education.
During the course of the day, year council meetings were set up and many roles were filled, after 97 student representatives had been elected from the 47 form classes at school.
Staff and students also voted for head boy and head girl, electing Matthew Williams and Lilibeth James. Isaac Mayne and Skye Morham were elected as deputy head boy and girl.
These student leaders now have the responsibility of running the Student Parliament.
Two students, Isaac Mayne and Liam Tanner, were elected to act as student governors for the year, and both are excited to have the opportunity to meet with the school governors on a regular basis.
Suggestions on how the Student Parliament could improve the school were raised by the form representatives, who then met with their new parliamentary departments to plan actions to take the school forward over the coming year.
Each of the five departments has a different focus: community, environment, health and fitness, learning and teaching and student support. This helps them work with students from all year groups on specific areas of school life.
Mrs J Ford, deputy headteacher, said: "The day was superb. I've been really impressed by the amount of excellent comments and suggestions aimed at improving our school."
Miss Morgan, Student Parliament co-ordinator and English teacher, added: "It's been fantastic how our Student Parliament has progressed."
Many students enjoyed the day and were glad they attended. Jordan Standing of 10SG said: "Overall, I think it's been a great success."
Teachers from Y Pant School near Llantrisant also joined Barry Comprehensive School for the day to find out how the Student Parliament works.

4Beyonce Didn't Really Sing The National Anthem Yesterday
Yesterday at the Inauguration ceremony, Beyonce had the honor of singing the national anthem with the Marine Corp Band. According to some of my friends, and me too, I guess, her performance was kind of "meh." It was good, of course, because it was Beyonce, but some people thought that it could have been better. Everybody loved the part where she ripped out her ear piece, of course.
But none of it matters, because she was lip syncing the whole damn thing.
A spokesperson for the Marine Corp Band said that it wasn't unusual for a singer to record a backup track in big situations like this, but for some reason – the rep didn't know why – Beyonce just decided to stick with the recording. You know, I guess because the effort was too much to make for the President of the United States*.
But hey, you know who did sing live? Kelly Clarkson:
See? That's why we love Kelly Clarkson and kind of tolerate Beyonce sometimes. That right there.
*Kidding! She might have been sick. Whatevs.

4 Responses to "Beyonce Didn't Really Sing The National Anthem Yesterday"
I used to have a friend back home who was a musician – a jazz pianist, to be exact. She was not only exceptionally talented (well, technically, she still is), but also very well trained both classically and in modern music. At that time I was listening to Beyonce's Sugar Mama, and my friend was always frowning at it. At last I asked her what her problem was, and she said, quote: "Beyonce has a great voice, but she makes me dislike her so intensely because she's just…trying too hard. All this belting out is so off-putting. I much rather prefer Alicia Keys's way of singing over this."
It stuck with me and every time I hear Beyonce sing, I think of this.
Also, gosh! I always knew this, but Beyonce photographs much better than she looks live. She has thick knees (not pictured) and deep lines around her mouth, and I hate her small teeth.
In fact, I could write a whole story on why Beyonce is a phony bitch who can't make up her damn mind if she wants to look like a classy, pseudo-artsy Caucasian or like a proud African American woman who's in touch with her roots. It's annoying that she just puts on the appropriate mask whenever convenient. Some call this versatile. I call it bullshit.
i don't think she sang live
If you can't sing live, perhaps you shouldn't make your living being a singer?
She makes me sick ! Who does she think she is to show up on the day she suppose to sing and say she didn't have time to practice ! That Marine corp. band practice for months to have their moment taken away by some rich diva who thinks she's better then everyone and say this is how we're gonna do this ! She should be ashamed of her self ! She is a disgrace and has no respect for our military because she really gave them the royal screwing by not letting them play !!!! Then we have Kelly who never disappoint and always nails it LIVE !!!! Go Kelly !!!!

Even though he said there is still much left to be decided, the head of Willard airport in Savoy said the merger of American Airlines and U.S. Airways could help the local airport. Currently, American Eagle, which operates regional jets for American Airlines, serves Willard.
The two airlines announced the merger on Thursday, and now the plan has to get approval from a bankruptcy judge, regulators and others.
That process is expected to take months or even years, but Willard Airport manager Steve Wanzek said he's excited about how the move might create new routes for the airport.

The Beaufort County Sheriff's Office is investigating an armed robbery that took place late Wednesday night outside of a Bluffton apartment complex.
Sheriff's deputies responded to Simmons Cay Apartment at approximately 11:30 p.m. Deputies met with two 20-year-old male victims upon arrival. They reported being robbed by two unknown black males.
The victims told police that they were sitting in a vehicle in the parking lot when two men suddenly approached each side of the car. The two men were armed with handguns and demanded that the victims open the doors. The suspects then pulled the victims from the vehicle and pushed them to the ground at gunpoint.
The victims fled the area on foot, escaping unharmed. When they returned to the scene a short time later, their cell phones were missing and the suspects were gone.
The suspects are described as black males between the ages of 18 and 25, both approximately 5'07", 160 lbs. One of the suspects was reportedly wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and black jogging pants. The other suspect was reportedly wearing a grey skull cap, grey sweatshirt and khaki pants.

Kentucky State Police
Post 2, Nortonville
(270) 676-3313
Click here to e-mail TFC Stu Recke
KSP Enforcement Campaign December 16, 2009-January 3, 2010
Date of News Release: 12/15/2009
(Madisonville, Ky.) -- Beginning Wednesday, December 16, 2009 and concluding at midnight Sunday, January 3, 2010, the Kentucky State Police will be conducting an impaired driving enforcement mobilization, Drunk Driving: Over the Limit, Under Arrest. This statewide mobilization will combine high visibility enforcement and media events during this period. This is a concerted effort by all law enforcement agencies to reduce alcohol-related injury and fatality crashes.
Drunk driving is one of America's most-often-committed and deadliest crimes. Last year in Kentucky, there were 826 highway fatalities. Of these, 24% involved a driver with a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 or higher.
During this mobilization, troopers will be concentrating their efforts on impaired drivers. Traffic safety check points and saturation patrols will be conducted throughout the Post 2 District. Impaired drivers will be arrested and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Additional emphasis will also be placed on speeding, seat belt usage, child and booster seat usage, and unsafe driving behaviors such as reckless driving and following too close.
The Kentucky State Police advise everyone to plan ahead; however, if you find it hard to figure out if you've had too many drinks to drive-don't risk it. Most likely if you're feeling "buzzed" you are impaired and if you drive, law enforcement will catch you.
The Kentucky State Police remind everyone:
- Don't risk it. If you plan to drive, don't drink.
- Choose a sober, designated driver before going out.
- Take mass transit, a taxicab or ask a sober friend to drive you home.
- Spend the night where the activity is being held.
- Wear your seat belt.
- Report impaired drivers to law enforcement.
- Violators often face jail time, the loss of their driver's license, higher insurance rates, and dozens of other unanticipated expenses from attorney fees, fines and court costs, towing bills, and lost time at work.
Citizens can assist troopers by calling toll-free 1-800-222-5555 (in the state of Kentucky only, does not work out of state) to report impaired drivers or any type of driving infractions. Just provide the direction of travel, a description of the vehicle, and the license plate number if possible.
*For traffic safety checkpoint locations in your area, you may refer to the web site: www.kentuckystatepolice.org/posts/press/post2_checkpoints.htm.
Post 2 serves the following counties: Caldwell, Christian, Crittenden, Hopkins, Muhlenberg, Todd, and Webster.

Worth County has been to the state playoffs for the last four seasons but has had just one winning record in that span.
Jason Tone succeeds Scotty Ward who resigned last month.
