Before & After: Marji's Transformed
Tool Storage
Anyone else have a garage, basement, or storage space that looks like this? There's hope: Marji was fed up with the clutter in her tool shed, and she decided to first purge and then create a clever system that works for her.
From Marji:
As you can see, our tool shed was an unbelievable, disorganized mess. On one sunny spring weekend, I took everything out of that shed and laid it out on the driveway, purged and then built holders from PVC pipe scraps to hold the garden tools in a neat and orderly fashion. The project was done within the one weekend, and the good news is today, several seasons later, it looks just as organized as the day I finished. The true test of an organizational project is if it helps keep you organized. This one passes.
For more photos and details, check out Marji's blog, Ashbee Design.
Thanks, Marji!

Love it!
This is SO going to happen in my shed this spring.
The PVC tool holders are such a good idea!
Wow! What a great idea! We have a summer kitchen where we rent. I'm always struggling with all the shovels and rakes. This is great! Kudos!!
"The true test of an organizational project is if it helps keep you organized."
Yes. This is one to keep in mind as the spring cleaning itch hits...
So simple but I would have never thought of it myself. Great idea!
Nicely done. The hardest part about keeping a space like this organized is the rush to get things done and stowed before the snow flies in my climate. I end up tossing things willy nilly into my shed in order to get the jobs over with. Then in the Spring I'm disheartened because the shed is such a freaking mess. Personal self control, ignoring that voice that says "you may need this in the Spring" and knowing how this happens goes a long way to keeping the shed tidy year round.
Bravo! Great job.
The PVC pipe holders are genius. I'm totally going to do this.
I agree. Genius idea. I can see that working in my garage.
I think the best part might be the bricks as bases to keep the handles in place. Smart! I like it!
The place where I store my long-handled tools has a low ceiling, so this wouldn't work for me, but it's really brilliant.
What I did was get long lag bolts and put them in the wall so that they stick out far enough to hold the shovels, etc.
Great idea to label! It always helps.
Great job!
do you have to pull up the tools pretty high to get it out?
I don't think you need the taped on labeling for each, simplify.
Hello Kitty, at first I thought that labels weren't necessary, but perhaps Marji has to occasionally ask someone to fetch the transplanting shovel, and the fetcher doesn't know what a transplanting shovel looks like. Labels would help there. Also, if Marji lends out her tools, she can quickly see if one is missing. Most of all, she's had this system for a couple of years, so she must prefer it to having no labels.
Add a 3rd Hoe and you'd have a Green Giant® commercial.
For those with low ceilings (like me!) perhaps one could cut a slit in the top pvc holder so that you could pull out the tool or push it into place when done. It would act kind of like a clip maybe.
Maybe I am just being a grump but the vinyl tool holders don't actually seem to be doing such a great job. Part of the reason you hang tools is to keep them off the floor, but the PVC is too wide to do that, so the tools' ends are resting on bricks. I think using wooden cleats (made out of scrap wood) similar to this might have been easier:
I've seen stuff like this in many people's garages in my city. Seems to work great. There's also the whole "PVC is a toxic nightmare" issue.
Lovely organization job though.

[Originally published May 31, 2013.]
I enjoy reading, travel, and cooking. Years have raced past, everyone of them a wolf circling a kill. One tends to think that it's a matter of scale, that the years used to move slower at some point, but science would say their pace has always been murderous. Black curtains have closed on so much of what I thought I would have done by now; I'm speaking here obviously of matters love and dating, but also personal progress and things you can't really hold measure to if you have any kindness in you at all. I enjoy outdoor activities like hiking and skiing. One time I watched a drunk tailor try to make sense of what he had marked and pinned earlier in the day with a sober eye, and that night when I was watching him from my perch upstairs across the way, his livelihood was nearly destroyed by his own hand, his tearing apart the small shop, in anger and disarray, certain it wasn't him who chalked and pinned and cut something like this. He was looking at it all, so drunk and confounded, like he couldn't figure out who would have done it. That's all of us, I think, looking back at what plans we had, screaming and holding our faces in our hands. And thinking: who in the hell, of even remotely sound mind, would've planned and measured it like this? Rollerblading, I wanted to say, is something I actually might get into, mostly for fitness reasons. Anyway, it was around the time of watching the mad tailor that I knew a girl with a pig's heart; she'd call me, and I'd call her. Nothing between us, just two people in the same neighborhood, and someone I found myself rooting for. I have every reason to believe this girl of fouled heart died at St. Vincent's before they started tearing it down, because this was maybe fifteen years ago now, and she hasn't called since then. The heart, or the valves, or whatever it was that they transplanted that came from a pig, seemed like it would take, her doctors were saying. She was living, breathing, walking around on the scene and trying not to smoke or drink, calling me a couple times a week back then because I had stopped drinking around then. But then one day it seemed that suddenly these were now the years when her calls never came. That's how the girl with the patched together heart of Frankensteined valves and stents came to disappear, to fade out so gradually, like an overcast morning. I am a bit of a beach person, I should mention, in case that's your idea of a fun summer day. I saw a beggar outside of The Vatican once, a woman so bowed and stooped and hunched, her hand a claw of tanned hide now, permanently cupped and waiting for too little to be given too late. She looked up at me like she was casting a pox or curse and I was amazed, the beauty buried in her face, all the days that must've marched over her. We never think of it, do we, the way time marches on, the wreckage of how it has its way with us? It doesn't care if you were one day a handsome pimp of the Jazz Age or a beautiful whore hunted by landed gentry and its angry wives and hounds. I also enjoy biking and have played softball on my office's team for two seasons now.

Internet Disconnects randomly
Im back, and i've had sleep! So i have checked everything I can about this issue.
Internet disconnects a lot, I get the yellow "Searching for connection" icon down the bottom right on my network icon in the system toolbar. The Dsl light goes out on my modem, Siemens Speedstream 4200, and im getting some strange error messages in event viewer.
I've checked my memory settings in Task manager and I have plenty.
Im running Windows 7 Build 7600 with 4gb of ram.
I am the main computer on my home network and another family member has a Windows Vista 32bit PC that is wired to mine on the lan and shared through ICS on my machine.
Any help would be awesome, if u need me to post any logs at all i am prepared to put them up.
Thanks in advance,

I have phoned my ISP and there has been no outages in my area, I even got them to do a line test and they say its all fine from thier end.
I can only conclude, from reading other forums and seeing that many users are having similar, if not the same problems, that it is Windows 7 Network Related.
Although I did find this just now, looks like a DHCP lease error.
Any ideas?

In fact ive been through event viewer and these are the events that happen every time the internet resets and i lose all my connections.
1. Name resolution for the name dns.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
2. Name resolution for the name www.msftncsi.com timed out after none of the configured DNS servers responded.
3. The DNS proxy agent was unable to allocate 0 bytes of memory. This may indicate that the system is low on virtual memory, or that the memory manager has encountered an internal error.
4. The browser has forced an election on network \Device\NetBT_Tcpip_{03B8A046-1B0E-4F98-A347-23D2E40DD9A0} because a master browser was stopped.
5. DHCPv4 client service is stopped. ShutDown Flag value is 1
6. The ICS_IPV6 failed to configure IPv6 stack.
7. The DHCP allocator has disabled itself on IP address 169.254.53.179, since the IP address is outside the 192.168.137.0/255.255.255.0 scope from which addresses are being allocated to DHCP clients. To enable the DHCP allocator on this IP address, change the scope to include the IP address, or change the IP address to fall within the scope.
hope this helps?

Whats your virtual memory set too? should be 1.5 times your physical memory, Its under Control panel>system and security>system>advance system settings on left > advanced tab> performance settings> advanced, there youll see virtual memory, I was disconnecting with RC build but when i updated my drivers and changed this had no disco's, so one or the other fixed mine.

First question for me with all that you have done, would be.
1. open all connections from the outside box.--check for tightness on connections.
2. ( I have in the past - removed ea wire and polished with fine emory cloth. helps make a good contact.)
3. once every connection to your MODEM is (in your opinion EXCELLENT.)
4. find an replace FILTERS.. a filter can go bad at any time...
(personal feelings..Windows 7 is much more sceptible to noise than XP or Vista.)
5. In your system do you have the ability to run a noise ratio check.
Noise is a killer -
I ran all new line from the ISP connection to my MODEM, and speed increased 1.50 x and disconnects stopped all to gether.

Bullish on IP video
The University of South Florida begins the migration
Anyone who has witnessed the emergence of the University of South Florida (USF), including its Big East athletic teams, the Bulls, recognizes it as one of America's leading universities. Founded in 1956, federal funds for academic research and development increased 213 percent from 2000 to 2007. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, that makes USF the fastest-growing research university in the United States.
Security at USF is also a priority, protecting 40,000 students plus staff and assets at its main campus in Tampa, which also includes the USF Health campus. Nate Rice, USF's engineer for video surveillance, has more than 700 analog cameras - primarily fixed cameras with a handful of PTZs - plus 70-80 digital video recorders (DVRs) located throughout the grounds. The solution is an event-based one, where University police use recorded video as an investigative tool.
Infinova worked with Rice's team to perform site surveys to analyze where IP cameras could provide complete coverage at the best costs. This included undertaking vulnerability and risk assessments to ensure that cameras are placed in areas that will give USF the maximum advantage of their performance and life cycle. This also included coordinating with video monitoring system (VMS) providers so the selected VMS would integrate with the cameras. The goal was reliable, consistent coverage.
"A key factor in determining which IP cameras to use besides video quality is reliability and maintenance," Rice says.
For cameras to be reliable, they must be ruggedized. This goes beyond being simply vandal-resistant, which is always a concern on a college campus. Cameras also need to provide resistance to hot, cold, vapor, water or dust - depending on the local conditions. With a campus just north of downtown Tampa - itself on a bay - the weather can be quite hot, and frequently, there can be quite a bit of rain and heavy winds. In addition to vandal-resistance, the cameras needed to be able to handle Florida's high humidity and protection from the Gulf of Mexico's salt water mist. As a result, the campus chose cameras that met IP66 standards, which ensure that they are protected against any ingress of dust, coast salt water mist and rain.
Throughout the campus, much of the communication is via fiber, using Infinova transceivers and receivers. "Cameras can reside in several buildings - often six to eight separate units - all several hundred feet apart, but with the head-in located at one," Rice explains. "Instead of having to place a DVR with each of those cameras, we simply use existing fiber infrastructure, which saves us thousands of dollars."
Why IP?
There are several reasons why it was important for Rice and USF to begin to migrate to an IP solution. The first was that it reduced overall surveillance costs. "We have more than 200 buildings on campus, and any one of them may request surveillance coverage," Rice says. "When they do, our team visits them, analyzes their needs and designs a system. In too many cases, we end up needing only one camera, and there is no way to connect it to another head-in running fiber. All too often, that means we need to include a dedicated DVR. Even when we use a 10-port DVR, the cost of that one-camera solution is ridiculous."
With an IP camera, Rice can simply plug it into the network and allocate storage for that camera. Thus, the cost is dramatically less expensive than a single camera connected to a multi-port DVR.
Another problem was the school's network of disparate surveillance systems and technology. "We have many departments that have created their own 'big box retailer' surveillance system, with 'no-name,' do-it-yourself, residential-type cameras and DVRs. Then, they want us to service and manage it. In almost every case, we decline."
Rice adds that these disparate systems have no value campus-wide. Only those few people at that building or department have access to those systems gain the value. They cannot alert others of an incident when it happens, provide others with real-time information, nor easily provide the rest of the campus with forensic evidence.

Basic Whole Roasted Rainbow Trout, p. 433 and Tomato-Orange Relish, p. 434
This is, indeed, a basic, dare I say standard, approach to cooking whole trout in the oven. The inside of the fish is seasoned with salt and pepper and stuffed with lemon slices and herb sprigs (I used thyme). The fish is brushed on both sides with melted butter (I used olive oil) and seasoned, and into the oven it goes. While that's the order she suggests, to me it makes more sense to brush and season one side and flip the fish before adding the aromatics, than to gingerly flip the fish without allowing the lemon and herbs to fall out.
There's a bit of a disconnect between ingredients and instructions, in that she specifies trout around 12 oz, "preferably boneless" (on p. 437, she says that without bones, they'll weigh 8-9 oz) but the timing given (18-20 min) and instructions for manually assessing doneness are geared to bone-in fish. My trout was boneless, and I pulled it out at 14 min, when an instant-read thermometer in the thickest part of the back shot past 150F, well over the 130-140 she indicates. The flesh was still moist, but would have been better pulled a few minutes earlier.
Tomato-Orange Relish
I took a couple of liberties here, one in technique and the other is some minor ingredient substitution. While on the facing page, she explains that leaving the tomato skins on gives an unpleasant texture, I didn't peel mine because I didn't want to spend the time on a hurried weeknight, and the cooked skins don't bother me much. I also didn't seed them because these are about the last local tomatoes till midsummer next year, and I didn't want to give up any of their flavor (and the seeds don't bother me in this kind of prep, either). I don't get why she calls for beefsteaks, as I don't think they fare well cooked, but at any rate, I used what I had, which were smaller.
So: Sauté shallots in olive oil (I reduced the amount of oil) until softened, then add the chopped tomatoes, fresh thyme, a bit of vodka or grappa (I used gin), and S&P, cook until reduced and the liquid's gone. Off heat, add capers and orange zest and juice (I used a lesser amount of Meyer lemon juice because the flesh of my orange was earmarked for a different use), serve at room temp. This is a nice, bright condiment for fish, with concentrated fresh tomato flavor and a bit of zing from the orange and capers. I'll serve the balance with salmon later this week.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Basic Whole Roasted Rainbow Trout, p. 433 and Tomato-Orange Relish, p. 434
First, I want to thank Caitlin for inspiring me to make this. I'm embarrassed to admit, but I've never cooked a whole fish before ... only fillets. For the past couple of weeks, one of the vendors at my farmers market has had some beautiful rainbow trout. When I saw Caitlin's post and how easy this dish was, I decided to give it a go. My fish was 14 oz with bones and I cooked it the whole 20 minutes and it was fine. My only fail was when I went to fillet the fish after cooking. Unlike in the restaurants where they seem to be able to remove the fillets from the bone in one piece, I had many pieces. I guess I need some practice.
Anyway, I made the dish basically per instructions along with Caitlin's tip on brushing the first side with butter before stuffing with the herbs. I used a combo of thyme and parsley. I made the tomato orange relish with halved cherry tomatoes and it was fine that way. This was a good quick and easy dish and would be very easy for a weeknight meal.
I did have one question. She uses vodka in the tomato-orange relish ... what is the purpose of that? I used it, but usually when I add alcohol to a recipe it has some flavor. I'm curious what vodka does for the cooking.
Quick-roasted Scallops with Sriracha and Lime (p. 393)
Super easy for those of you looking for something from this book that will take no time at all. You make a sauce of mayo, sriracha, lime juice and a smidgen of sugar. I ended up going a bit heavier on the sriracha than she calls for (we make srirach and chipotle mayos around here a lot for putting on fish we're going to grill or serving on sandwiches). Unfortunately the scallops I got were small compared to normal (no, they weren't bay, but they looked as if a bay scallop and a sea scallop had a one night stand). You heat the oven, toss the scallops with a tablespoon of the sauce, then put on a buttered baking sheet. Turn and add extra sauce, then put on broil for 2-3 minutes. Our broiler doesn't work (insert complaints about Viking here) so I did the 5 minutes on one side that she recommends and then turned and did 2 at the 500 she has you start them at. They were a bit overcooked, but we all loved the flavor and I'd definitely try this again with bigger scallops. Served with rice and the Asian slaw from Fish without a Doubt and it was a very nice meal (aside from the overcooked thing).
re: LulusMom
Glad this was a winner and falls in the take no time all category. I think she also says you can do this with shrimp, which I thought I would try.
re: The Dairy Queen
Yes, she says shrimp or meaty fish (I think she mentions halibut). Very easy and quick, and tasty.
Slow-Roasted Wild Salmon Fillets, p. 418
Wow, was this ever disappointing. Especially given the money spent on a beautiful, thick fillet of wild king salmon. I haven't figured out exactly where things went all pear-shaped on me, but they certainly did.
In the head note, Stevens rhapsodizes about the texture resulting from roasting salmon at low heat ("incredibly moist, practically creamy and custardy inside"). There's not much to the prep: Brush the salmon with olive oil, rub with minced chives and lemon or orange zest, season with S&P, place on a rack over a baking sheet. Now, I had roasted vegetables at a higher heat first and turned the oven down, so it may have been too hot for a bit, and while it's generally true to temp I didn't have a thermometer in at the time. It's also small and a bit strange, so things often are done on the quick side, and for all these reasons I thought it best to rely on internal temperature. I didn't use the probe thermometer, just a basic Taylor instant-read, but I checked a couple of times and took the fish out when the thermometer in the center of the thickest part read in the 130-135 range, which she indicates for medium rare. Only to cut into it and find it completely overcooked throughout, well done if not more so - it was still a bit moist in the thickest part, not so moist in the rest.
As I said, I really don't know what exactly happened, except that it obviously cooked way too long, and perhaps too hot. Befuddled, I tested the instant-read thermometer in boiling water after dinner and it read accurately. A sad fate for a beautiful piece of fish, and certainly not the best eating, though made a tad more manageable by serving it with some of the tomato-orange relish reported upthread. You win some, you lose some, I suppose.
re: Caitlin McGrath
Oh no! How disappointing! I shall scratch this one from my list.
re: Caitlin McGrath
What temp does he have you roast the fish at?
We slow roast salmon all the time here (in summer, over fig leaves) and it's become our go to fish dish. Goes together quickly and takes so little attention -we roast at 250 though.
Sorry this didn't work our for you. I hate when I ruin the pricey stuff!
re: rabaja
Her instructions are 275, or 250 for convection. I do think my oven was probably too hot at least part of the time on account of my turning it down from a higher temp, and my funny small electric oven with top element does tend to be fast, but the disconnect between internal temp reading and actual doneness is a head-scratcher.
I'd like to try it again sometime, but I'll be sure to preheat from cold, maybe aiming a bit low, and either use a probe or just check manually.
One-Dish Roasted Haddock (Hake) with Lemony Potatoes, p. 401.
This is an easy, one-dish meal in which medium-sized potatoes (I used Yukon Golds) are sliced and then spread in a gratin dish along with thin slices of whole lemons (skin 'n all). These are all drizzled in oil and then seasoned with a mixture of chopped thyme, chopped garlic, and some Marash or Aleppo Pepper (plus s & p.) The potato-lemon mixture is roasted gently (turned once) until just tender and lightly browned.
The fish filets--Stevens recommends any white fish and I used hake--are oiled, seasoned with s & p, and a bit more chopped thyme and Aleppo pepper, before being arranged over the lightly browned potatoes. A final squeeze of lemon juice and then all is roasted until the fish is just cooked through. Then served immediately.
I really liked the idea of this, and the finished dish is agreeable: potatoes are tender and the fish happily roasts on top till done. It just needs more flavor, IMHO. I did not have any Aleppo pepper, which Stevens says cannot really be substituted for, if that's the phrase. Feeling a bit reckless, I used some Ancho pepper I found in my spice cabinet and perhaps this is why the finished dish didn't seem exciting--don't know. I would add some capers or briny olives or a relish sauce of some sort--even the anchovy vinaigrette on p. 462, which was delicious on the Roasted Broccoli (report on veggie thread.)
re: Goblin
One-Dish Roasted Haddock (Cod) with Lemony Potatoes, p. 401
I had exactly the right amount and sort of potatoes from the last CSA share of the year last week, so had this dish in my sights. Even before reading Goblin's report, I had noted Stevens's mention in the head note of adding olives or capers and decided that would be the way to go, and added a few tablespoons of capers. After reading her report, I decided to also amp up the garlic; in addition to the 4 cloves of minced garlic, I tossed 10 or 12 whole peeled cloves in with the potatoes and added another minced clove to the seasoning of the fish.
Overall, I thought this was quite good. Not super assertive, but well seasoned enough, and I absolutely loved the creamy texture of the roasted sliced potatoes and the surprise of the mellowed and half-dissolved slices of lemon here and there (I did cut the slices in half so they'd be better distributed).
re: Goblin
One-Dish Roasted Haddock (Cod Loin) with Lemony Potatoes, Pg. 401
We made this recipe and Loved it! I used a large thick cod loin about 1 1/4 pounds, 1 pound sliced small red potatoes , 1/4 cup chopped small green olives, 1 large thinly sliced lemon, 1 t Aleppo pepper, and all the other ingredients as listed.
We loved the technique and will use it again. The timing was perfect for the potatoes, G watched the fish like a hawk to insure it did not overcook. The result was a lemony, subtly spiced delicious piece of fish and soft slices of potato. I did think the lemon flavor just a little too pronounced for my taste but that's easily adjusted. A tossed salad w red wine vinaigrette completed the meal.
Sear Roasted Salmon
I just did the basic version of the dish -- wild salmon fillets are seasoned with salt and pepper, seared flesh side down in a hot skillet, then flipped and put into a hot oven (425) to finish roasting. This technique didn't work so well for me. My salmon stuck to the pan during the searing stage. Probably the fish was too cold or too wet or both. However, if it is very important to the success of the recipe that the fish be not overly chilled or very dry, I think the recipe should indicate that, so that busy frazzled moms like me know to pay attention instead of just bunging the fish in the pan, which is pretty much what I did. It cooked through fine in the oven, but the appearance was not what I would have wished. My kids had it plain, but I drizzled some of the kalamata viniagrette, which I had made for another recipe, on my portion, and I thought it worked well as an accompaniment.
I wouldn't repeat this method. I have had better luck searing with the skin side down, then flipping and oven-roasting (this method results in very crispy skin, and I have not had problems with sticking). And for convenience, I actually prefer to avoid pan-searing and flipping entirely, and just roast the fish entirely in the oven.
Basic Sear-Roasted Tuna Steaks, p. 421.
So yesterday my CSA (Cape Cod Fish Share) provided a beautiful reddish-colored steak of Big-Eye Tuna and I decided to try this method, which couldn't be simpler (and gentler) and which I will utilize again whenever I have lovely tuna steak.
The plan is to place your liberally-seasoned steak (s & p) in a hot skillet, sear it in a neutral oil (I used Sunflower) until the surface is well-browned (about 2-3 minutes) and then flip the steak and transfer it in the same skillet to a hot 425 F oven for 5 - 7 minutes until the steaks are just firm to the touch (or about 120-125 F on an instant-read thermometer for rare.) Steven's timing directions were spot-on.
I have an instant-read thermometer and I compared the reading to the touch-method, and "just firm to the touch" was perfect. Our tuna steak (which I seared in one big piece and then sliced for serving) was just as we like it: a browned crust but beautifully rare and barely cooked inside. Tender as only really good rare tuna can be.
So why not just pan-sear your tuna steaks in a very hot skillet on both sides? You could, and I have. I wanted to try the oven-method and see if it worked. I was roasting two other dishes from this book for supper and I wanted to see if everything could roast happily away in the same oven at once (yes.) By not searing the steak any further on the cooktop, my eat-in kitchen stayed slightly less "smoky" from the hot oil. Also, there was no sticking-problem at all. (I made sure that the tuna was room-temperature.)
I served the tuna with "Option 2" on p. 423: Green Olive Vinaigrette. I subbed black Kalamata olives. The vinaigrette has you whirl chopped Italian parsley, olives, capers, garlic, red-wine vinegar and olive oil in a mini-food processor (or chop them yourselves). It is absolutely delicious and my dinner guests spooned up every drop, smearing it on the tuna, the green beans, and the bread I served!
For Mr. Goblin, who has a sweet tooth, I provided pickled ginger slices and he was a very happy camper, indeed.
re: Goblin
Basic Sear-Roasted Tuna Steaks p. 421. and Green Olive Vinaigrette p. 423
We were also curious to try the oven roasting method. We tried ours with a 1.5" thick piece of #1 ahi from our fishmonger. The only deviation from the recipe was reducing the amount of oil.
We also made the Green Olive Vinaigrette using Lucques. The buttery olives had my olive-averse husband enjoying the vinaigrette.
Taking MS's suggestion, we served our fish with steamed potatoes and green beans. It was a delicious meal and like Goblin indicated, the timing worked perfectly for us (we like our tuna rare). A successful method, but one I would reserve for very thick pieces of tuna.
Panko-Crusted Roast Cod Fillets with Horseradish and Dill, p. 407.
Just a very nice preparation for white fish fillets--I used hake this time. Stevens' notes say "VERY simple, VERY tasty, and elegant" and I agree. You top individual serving-sized seasoned (s & p) fillets of white fish with a topping of panko-crumbs tossed with melted butter, chopped dill, drained prepared horseradish, lemon zest, and Dijon mustard.
Drizzle a bit more butter over the topping and then roast all for 10 - 12 minutes in a 425 F oven until the topping is lightly browned and the fillets are just cooked through. It bakes away with no attention until you garnish the fish with fresh lemon wedges and a bit more dill, and serve. I like Stevens' directions to use parchment paper for the roasting because clean-up is a snap.
It is a delicate dish but the horseradish-mustard-dill flavorings are good together and the browned crumbs look appetizing and provide a nice crunch. I think Julia Child would have said something like, "a very nice first course for a company dinner or as an entrée for a chic little luncheon." My supper guests seemed to accept it as the main course for dinner ;-) and I served it with Stevens' Roasted Green Beans and Shallots with Garlic and Ginger (p. 445) and Ottolenghi's rice pilaf with orzo from his cook book, Jerusalem. This latter has become a favorite of ours for all kinds of entrees.
Sear- Roasted Swordfish Steaks p. 424
Inspired by the success with tuna, we decided to try sear-roasting swordfish. Swordfish (1.5" steak for us) is seared in a hot skillet for about 3 minutes (we used less oil than the recipe suggests), flipped and dotted with butter (we skipped the butter since swordfish is very rich and meaty on its own) and baked at 400F until the internal temperature reached 145F (we like our swordfish just cooked- not med rare). Ours took a little longer to get to temperature and lost track of how long it actually took since we were watching it like a hawk to make sure it did not overcook.
We served this with the Green Olive Vinaigrette (p. 423- using Lucques). The results were great. The swordfish was perfectly cooked. The gentle cooking method resulted in a extremely tender and delicate, but meaty piece of fish.
Herb - Roasted Shrimp with Pancetta, Pg. 387
Happy Christmas Everyone! This recipe was one component of our Christmas Eve dinner. It is a very worthy contender for one of the best shrimp dishes we ever had. I did change a couple of items but nothing too outlandish. Namely: bacon instead of pancetta - our piece of pancetta was difficult to cut into thin slices, I increased the 2 cloves of garlic to 5, and used a combo of dried rosemary/thyme/ oregano instead of fresh.
Quite an easy recipe to put together. Season the shrimp, wrap bacon around, place into baking dish, pour in white wine, roast at 425F for 12-18 minutes depending on the size of the shrimp. Ours were very large, almost jumbo I would say. (cleaning them was a PITA!)
These can be served on rice but I served the shrimp atop aglio olio angel hair pasta that had been tossed with steamed broccoli. A revisit of the roasted cremini mushrooms and a Caesar salad were served as well. Simple, delicious, and a terrific end of Advent and start to the Christmas season.
Garlic-Roasted Shrimp with Tomatoes, Capers, and Feta, p. 389
I used the ingredients and technique as described in the recipe, but upended the proportions. The recipe has you toss shrimp (she calls for 16-20 per pound; I had the larger 10-15, which were definitely toward the smaller end of that range) with olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, dried oregano, and salt; this is left to marinate while the oven heats. Drained chopped canned tomatoes go into the bottom of a baking dish, and are drizzled with more olive oil and sprinkled with capers, and the shrimp go on top. After they roast for a bit (until turning pink and "starting to sizzle"; this took a bit longer than indicated on account of the larger shrimp), the shrimp are flipped over and crumbled feta is sprinkled on top; the dish is roasted until the shrimp are done and the feta has softened. Garnish with optional slivered basil (I didn't have any, so skipped.
The recipe calls for 1 1/2 pounds of shrimp, but I used 1/2 pound; I used about half of all the seasonings, however, rather than a third. As for the tomatoes, she calls for a drained 14.5 oz can of chopped tomatoes and I looked at a third of that and saw that there would be very little tomato in the pan relative to shrimp (she suggests using something like a 10 x 12 gratin dish for the full recipe, just so you can picture what ~1 cup chopped tomato would look like). Deciding I'd prefer something saucier, I used the entire (drained) can.
This was good, but I won't be running to make it again. I was glad I'd used extra tomato, and the shrimp/tomato/feta/caper combo is a good one, but somehow this rendition didn't thrill me. Maybe it needed more garlic, and I keep thinking I'd prefer it with fresh tomatoes, so I'll likely try a different iteration of the combo once tomatoes are in season rather than play with this one.

Detroit Lions 34, Minnesota Vikings 24 (box score)
For a while it looked like more of the same for the Detroit Lions. A botched field goal attempt left the Lions shut out on their opening drive only to be followed by a 78-yard touchdown run the first time Adrian Peterson touched the ball.
It felt like the Lions controlled, or even dominated, most of the first half but they went into the halftime locker room trailing 14-13. Halftime marked an important crossroads. It was an opportunity to regroup and show that things are different this year.
The response couldn't have been much better.
One of the biggest problems last year was the lack of a home run threat out of the backfield with Jahvid Best sidelined. Reggie Bush was brought in to add that dimension and through one game, the move looks brilliant.
Matthew Stafford found Reggie Bush underneath and let the playmaker do playmaker things. 77 yards later, Bush had run past the Vikings defense en route to the end zone. The touchdown extended the Lions lead to 27-17 late in the third quarter, enough breathing room to let the Lions defensive line smell blood in the water and help close out the game.
Bush was the star all day long, falling just ten rushing yards short of becoming the first Lions running back with at least 100 yards rushing and at least 100 yards receiving in the same game since Billy Sims in 1982.
Adrian Peterson's stat line looks just fine in the box score but the real story of this game is in the details. On his first carry, Peterson went 78 yards. He totaled just 15 yards on his next 17 carries. Peterson got his big play, but still finished under 100 yards rushing on the day.
The Lions took control by finally capitalizing on their opportunities and shutting down the Vikings' main offensive threat.

any coach gets a pass any year a team is devastated by injuries...Miller worn out keeping us in games, Golden not shooting well with a bad groin(anybody griping here ever had one?).......not the coaches fault if they are offered an extension, what i hear cpj will not be offered one unless we go up a notch.........
2014 should be the year of the Georgia Tech purge. Send Paul Johnson, Brian Gregory and Danny Hall packing
Tech's cheap hire is just not working. After pouring all of the money into the renovations of the arena we need a better program than this. I remember the good old days when this time of the year ppl were wondering where we would be going in the NCAA's. Gregory was about to be fired at Dayton when Tech hired him. If we care at all about the program we need a better coach. This is the worst I have seen at Tech.
If the alumni or at least certain ones can donate money to upgrade the basketball arena, then I assure you this school isn't going to stand by two more years and watch this coach destroy the place. To drag this program into nothingness is too much for anyone. If the AD gives this coach two more years, then the AD can go with him and good riddance. My feelings are not directed at the players. I even believe they would perform exceptionally better without him.
I am so proud of Craig Neal, I hope he does well in the NCAA tournament.
For all the shameless cowards that were hellbent on keeping Neal or Charlotte Bobcats asst. coach Mark Price or any other former Tech player willing to coach or assist in coaching this team from doing so, well you can go blank yourselves now. (I realize most of those know it alls are not on this blog tonight).
Gregory is safe for now. Bobinski doesn't want to look stupid after giving him a contract extension for no reason. Hewitt will be paid off I a couple of years and then Gregory will be forced to win or Tech can afford to bring in a proven winner instead of a cast off from a smaller school. If they would have just hired Craig Neal in the first place like they should have, Tech might not be in this mess. Unfortunately, DRad didn't have Tech's best interest in mind since he had one foot out the door already.
What was originally thought to be a promising season has spiraled down the drain over the last 2 months. A win against ND tonight would be a little salve on the wound. And there is a strong possibility we play ND again in the ACC Tourney.
Hey, at least we aren't VT. And apparently we are better than BC and they beat Syracuse, so we have that going for us.
Heard Bobinski on the radio this afternoon, and while he didn't trash CBG, he didn't give him a pass either. I doubt he pulls the trigger after this season but if there isn't improvement next year he will be gone.
161 is pretty bad for an acc team playing in Atlanta, or any acc team for that matter. but need to give cbg another two years unless he back tracks next year. not sure how you can back track much from this season!
But hopefully we can pull together and win in south bend.
Go jackets
PS usually about this time of year I start diverting my attention from our bball team and look forward to our baseball team, but they have not showed up yet. maybe a long time until next fall. golf team is looking good.
When you're ranked #161 and you haven't even made the NIT after three years at the school, it's time to hit the road, Jack.
do your best, guys......
@Jim70 161 is really bad. Surprisingly that's not the worst team in the ACC. ND is 114 so a win tonight presumably jumps us up to the 120's...maybe. Still awful.

It's travel day for Colorado State heading to New Mexico Bowl
The Colorado State football contingent heads to Albuquerque for the New Mexico Bowl on Wednesday morning — and it's about time, if you ask Rams players and coaches.
"It's been tough (the past couple of weeks) with finals and practice because we haven't been to a bowl game before," junior wideout Charles Lovett said.
"You have to take care of finals because if you don't get the grades you don't play. Once I get on the plane, I'll be done with schoolwork, and that will be a relief. I just can't wait for that feeling."

Omygosh. I did't finish it eh. Sorry. :( But I will for you. :) Just give me time, okay? :)

Hahahaha! Come by Manila and we'll stalk go fangirling together!! Then you'll have your own story which people will get jealous of. :)) Yeah, that's her. We've been really close lately and I promised her that. :) Do you want one also? Hahaha. I'm good. :) My schedule is being nice lately. :D You? :)
Oh heeeeey!! :) Yeah. There are A LOT of fan girls there! I'll go ask them for you guys to have a meet-up, okay? :)
— CALLING ALL FAN GIRLS IN CEBU, Message me and let's get you guys to go have a meet-up. :>
Ohhaiithurr!! :"> Missed me? LMAO. :)) Sorry for not updating this blog anymore.I'm a busy bee! School works here, there and everywhere! But from now on I'll be posting more… Well, I'll try :P ANYWAY, I have A LOT of stories to share! So here it goes…
First, I just hate how other people who keep on bashing our NT. It's like they're world-champion footballers, Well, THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW A THING OR TWO ABOUT FOOTBALL. When is a player called for an offside? Ask them, they'll just stare at you. Anyway, Everyone in our batch knows that I support and I'm a fangirl of the NT. During our break yesterday, everyone was telling me "Wala. Loser naman eh. Talo di lang man nakapasok. Kuwait na nga lang eh." To which I would reply "So? They're only starting. Ikaw kaya maglaro? Siguro naging bola ka na at ikaw ang nasipa sipa. Di naman expected na makapasok sila eh, Aminado sila dun. Inggit ka lang." Then others would say "Uy, talo ah" and I'd reply "Duh! Sa tingin mo di ko alam? I don't care, I still love them for their perseverance." I got really pissed off that I said "Susunod pang magsabi sakin na natalo Azkals, susuntukin ko na." out loud. And thank God, everyone cooperated. Yes, When it comes to our NT. I get really manly and brutal. HAHAHA.
Second, this has something to do with the first, It's abt the "own goal" of the Azkals. Everyone is blaming Ray Jonnson. He was stupid daw and bla bla bla. WELL, SHUT UP. Do you even know what you're saying? I have to admit it was kind of Neil's fault but you can't blame him. He was in a great pressure. RAY ONLY TRIED TO SAVE THE BALL BUT THE BALL WAS UNCONTROLLABLE. It was too fast. And even if he didn't kick it. It would still be a goal. Sheesh. I even told my friend that she should shut up because Ray was doing his job and he did it quite well.
Third, right after school, My fangirl friend and I went to Health and Beyond's meet and greet. AND OMYGOD. I CAN'T EVEN. It started when we were going down the elevator. I immediately saw Misagh Bahadoran. I was like "Omygoood! Si Misagh!!!" We were waiting for him to finish talking so we could approach him. We were about to approach him when he went our way. I immediately approached him and he was really really REALLY nice. When we asked for his autograph, he was the one who thanked us. As in a lot of times he kept repeating "Thank You!" And I told him "No, thank you! Seriously. Great job!" and he smiled. THAT SMILE THAT TOTALLY MELTED MY HEART. :"> After, we saw Rob, he needed to go to the Wash room (Hahahaha.) but fans stopped him. I apologized that we were stalling him but he said it was okay and gladly took pictures with us. Manny Ott was behind him so we talked to him and TRUST ME, HE HAS SUCH AN ADORABLE ACCENT. When Rob went back I got the chance to have a little talk with him about his wife. Man, he's the most loving husbang ever. I can see it from the way he talked about his wife, He really loves her, and omygod, his wife is really lucky! Plus he kept on smiling so bam!
Next we went to Health and Beyond na, Nate Burkey approached the fans outside and my friend has a HUGE crush on him. So when he was walking towards the fans my friend extended her arm with a notebook WHICH GOT NATE'S ATTENTION and he didn't let his eyes off her. As in she had a five second staring contest with Nate. WHAT IS LUCKY? So, after It was my turn but I was a bit far away so i gave her my notebook. Nate was entertaining her first, as in. Even when we asked for picture taking, he would immediately turn to my friend. Gaaah! Then he stood beside us where the fans got crazy. HAHAHA!! Then, a group of girls behind us shouted "Anton! Anton" and Anton was shocked and everyone looked at him. :)) So he approached and we were the ones in front so dibs! Hahaha, I asked for a picture he kept on smiling talking, laughing. But I immediately said goodbye to give room for the other fans. He was so cute when he told me "Bye bye! Bye bye!" as in he kept on reeating it. Hahaha, Oh Anton. Since we got out of the crowd, we decided to eat na. But bam! Simon was signing autographs 15 meters away. So I dragged my friend there :)) Guess what? SIMON TOTALLY REMEMBERED US. Their conversation went on like this:
Her: Hey, Si! Do you remember this uniform?
Him: I think so, you look famillar too.
Her: We were the girls who approached you in Glorietta
Him: Hmm. OHH!! YOU AGAIN! Hahahaha! Yeah. (then he signaled me to come over. :">)
So our conversation went on like this:
Me: Heey. How are you, Si?
Si: I'm good. How are you?
Me: I'm doing good too.
Si: Okay ( I thought the okay was for me so I just got out of the crowd)
Then guess what? I saw Simon looking for me then he called me and apologized. He then said something which I didn't heard but just agreed. :)) Anyway, he ask if he could borrow my notebook. so it would be easier for him. So I just stood there helping him balance the notebook and shempre. Chumachancing din. =)))) I asked him to hold a fansign saying "I love you Gilliane" For my friend, then he read it and laughed but agreed to take the picture anyway. Then I totally forgot to have a solo pic with him but my friend reminded me. So we went back and he made us his priority. A lot of fans were asking for his autograph and a picture with him but guess what? He immediately posed with me infront of the camera. This is why Simon I am loving Simon so so so much right now. Hnggg. :"> Lastly, we were eating na when we saw Jason Sabio. We immediately grabbed our bags and zoomed to Jason's direction. We weren't really able to talk to him because he was talking to some people but I noticed no one really noticed him. It's sad. He's such a great player pa naman.
Oh, and for the fourth story or whatever. I met a fellow fan girl during the meet and greet. She was really nice but i forgot to ask her name. I ENVY HER BECAUSE SHE WAS INVITED TO COME IN OUT OF THE BLUE. She was shocked nga kasi she was pushed daw towards Misagh then the guy in-charge of everything invited her in and she was able to meet the Azkals, talk to them and take pictures with then. LUCKY, RIGHT? While she was telling me her story we were both like
It's nice meeting fellow fangirls. :) I just get that awesome feeling. :) Hahahaha.
— If you have a fangirl story or concern, feel free to tell us, okay? :) Oh, and Iwill be more often and currently online on our Yahoo! Pingbox so feel free to talk to me. :) Also, I want to meet some of you in person so message me your numbers and we'll set a meet-up! Thanksssss! Sorry it's so long. :P
why is everyone mad at Ray Jonsson
he was just doing his job; defending
even though he didn't "kick" the ball, it will still enter the goal because it was too strong
he deserved each compliment, coz clearly he played very well
By Nate Burkey! Oh yeah!
How did you track me? Hahahaha! I'm online at our pingbox right now. Go chat me. :>
I tried it!! And the results are:
Once upon a time, you met Yannick and got married. You moved to New Zealand and lived in a Mansion. You eventually had 14 kids with Yannick. You drove around in a Red Ferrari. You worked as a ambassador until the age of 65, when you retire.
I don't know, actually. My family was planning to since they're huge football fans eversince. Then, the news about the tickets being sold out. But my family has a lot of connections which they can get easy tickets from. Right now, they haven't said a word abt it but i really want to! Damn. Suck for me.
HEY THERE, SPIDER! :) I can't find your ask box so imade this. HAHAHA! I'm online at our Pingbox right now. Would love to talk to you :)
Hey there :) I'm good. :) You? DM'd you on Twitter :)
Fiona, James' girlfriend as you all know, lost her BB torch today and tweeted about it. Being bored and random I decided to tweet her saying maybe the reason why it got stolen is because the thief wants to know James and Phil's BBM pins. And Bam~!! Fiona replied, and to normal fan girls, it's nothing to them, really, but for super fan girls, they'll do their fan girl dance bacause they know what's coming to them! I actually smiled when I saw her tweet back. I'm weird huh? NOT.
Wanna know why?
Simply because I'm a step closer to being friends with a players girlfriend, thus, she will be like my wing man and act to getting close to the team! Ta-dah! An evil but definitely genius plan, right?! :>
Now that, my friends, are thoughts of a super fan girl.

(CBS) For the depleted Bulls, this is nothing new.
Luol Deng has been ruled out and Kirk Hinrich is doubtful for tonight's Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals against the Heat in Miami.
Deng, who didn't make the trip to Miami, continues to suffer from complications from a spinal tap, and Hinrich is still working to recover from a severely bruised calf muscle.
"Kirk has a ways to go," head coach Tom Thibodeau told the Tribune on Wednesday morning.
"The swelling is done, which is good. He tried the last game in the Brooklyn series and he wasn't quite there. We'll have to wait and see. Hopefully he continues to improve."
Thibodeau characterized Deng's status as "day-to-day."

Now that his appearance in the Pro Bowl is behind him, Eagles running back LeSean McCoy's year is done as far as on the field performance. That has not stopped Philadelphia's all-pro back from mixing it up on the airwaves as he tries to remain active during the NFL's offseason. 'Shady' appeared in New York City on Thursday for the 'Radio Row' portion of Super Bowl week. McCoy, much like several other NFL players, is in attendance despite not participating in Sunday's matchup. While McCoy is rarely considered 'villainous' when it comes to his discussions with the media, he has been prone to wearing a bulls-eye as a result of some of his tweets and utterances over his short career. Thursday afternoon, during his appearance with Evan Cohen & Steve Phillips on XM radio, the Eagles back decided to chime in on the NFL's flavor of the last two weeks, Richard Sherman.
During his segment, when asked if there was one player in the NFL McCoy would not want to play with, Shady muttered just a single name, 'Sherman'.
McCoy would elaborate on his decision by defending his fellow Pittsburgh Panther alumnus, Darrelle Revis. Revis, now of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, has been explicit in his regards for the Seahawks defensive back and, to this day, still feels he is the stronger player of the two. While I am sure there are others around the league who share Revis' sentiment, it was McCoy with the unprompted seal of support for Revis that made ripples in Philadelphia.
In an article on Birds247.com, Sheil Kapadia documents his chat with the Eagles running back.
"I would take Darrelle Revis. He's better. If you watch Darrelle Revis' tape, right, his best clips, and you take [Sherman], it's not even close. …As a player you're gonna promote yourself, but if we're gonna be realistic about it, c'mon. [It's] Revis.
"Next year off the knee injury when he's really healthy… $16 million in one season for a reason. You know how that works. …He's a lock-down defender. He doesn't have tons of safety help. It's Revis, we need you to lock him up, and he's gonna get it done."
The support of Revis is valid, given his accomplishments early on in his career. That said, Sherman has been held in similar regard over the last two seasons to what Revis was while he was still on the Jets. It is tough to say whether or not Revis will regain the form that had him labeled as the premiere cornerback in football for at least three seasons. Considering the fact that, while never at the same time, Revis and McCoy both attended Pittsburgh University, it could be a matter of alumni support.
Later in his interview, in perhaps a more telling snippet of McCoy's true feelings toward the Seattle defensive back, Shady further explained why Sherman would not work in the Eagles locker room.
"I like Sherman, I like his confidence. …Oh no, I wouldn't want him in the locker room in Philadelphia. It would be too much."
Fortunately for McCoy, it is tough to imagine the All-Pro defender leaving the Emerald City any time soon. He is one of the most valuable players in the league and will be among the highest paid players at his position in the near future.
McCoy has never been one to bite his tongue and, for the most part, has not seen his momentary displays of trash talking in the media bite him in the rear-end. If there is one player a team should be ok with this type of fodder, it should be their best player. McCoy is the Eagles best player and has done enough not to be coddled when it comes to representing the team in the media. That being said, there are a few things that could be a slight cause for concern.
McCoy is either slightly delusional, and cannot see in front of his face that Sherman is one of the best players in the league, regardless of position. Or he is uneasy around the type of personality that Sherman has highlighted to vault himself to the biggest story of Super Bowl week.
Given the fact that Cary Williams was on the team this year and McCoy did not appear to have any issue with him, I don't doubt that Shady can handle a more boisterous teammate in the locker room. Williams, who is a serviceable corner, might not have half the talent of Sherman despite having a mouth that gets him in just as much trouble.
Not that it necessarily matters, given the fact that LeSean McCoy holds no weight when it comes to personnel decisions, but his defiant support of Revis being substantially better than Sherman is borderline ignorant. Sticking up for a fellow alumni is a common practice in the NFL, and for McCoy to toss his hat in Revis' ring is admirable. To say that Revis, even at 100% strength, is so far beyond Sherman that 'it's not even close' is just wrong.
To unearth all of the statistics for both players and try and make it a numbers game does not work with cornerbacks in the modern NFL. One would have an easier time identifying the impact the individual player has on opposing teams and the league's approach to throwing on his side of the field. Whether it is now or three years ago when Revis was at the top of his game, both players have done enough in their careers to be avoided and even feared by opposing defenses. Their skills have gone beyond the level where opponents will challenge them. Sherman led the NFL in interceptions this season, with eight. Revis never had more than six during a season, though that should not determine the opinion of Revis.
Sherman is what Revis was before his injury. There's nothing to say that Revis cannot return to the level he was prior to being hurt toward the end of his career with the Jets. As an Eagles fan, there are only about five players I would NOT trade for the Tampa Bay CB. In a year, Revis could be back atop his perch of the premiere shutdown defender in the league and Sherman could be singing a different tune. Until that happens, though, Revis and all of his supporters should probably dial back the talk. To Sherman's credit, he came after 'Revis Island' before the season started when it came to the debate between the two. So far, he has done nothing but back up his challenge and is currently the best defensive back in the NFL. Some might argue that its Arizona's Patrick Peterson; and some, McCoy included, still feel that Revis is the top dog on the block. Anyone can make an argument, but until Sunday's game is over their point is moot. Sherman is the best cornerback in the game right now and, while having Revis on the Eagles would be a noted upgrade, to prefer not to have Sherman in the fold is a misguided outlook by Philadelphia's dynamic runner.

Dallas Repeals Verified Response Policy
City council overturns police recommendations, goes back to alarm response
Sep. 12--Ignoring Police Chief David Kunkle's recommendations, the Dallas City Council today repealed its "verified response" burglar alarm policy, meaning police officers will again automatically respond to all commercial alarm calls.
The 11-4 vote came as a majority of council members argued that cops -- not business owners or private security guards who must first verify a sounding alarm's validity before police respond -- should answer alarm calls.
"We've got to be concerned about the policy and the wider message it sends," Mr. Leppert said, noting that guaranteed police response to burglar alarms is one component in helping Dallas expand its tax base, thereby increasing funds available to police. "This is not a policy that allows us to continue to build the city of Dallas."
Chief Kunkle has repeatedly testified before the council that verified response allows him to use scant police resources to respond to more pressing emergencies. Last week, the chief told council members that he knows of no increase in crime attributable to verified response and that more than 97 percent of activated burglar alarms are ultimately ruled false.
"I'm worried about the 2.7 percent that's left ... the citizens -- they're the ones we're going to have to look after," Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway said Wednesday.
"We do not need to verify alarms. We as a city need to have the police to do their jobs. They need to protect our property and our safety," District 8 council member Tennell Atkins added.
Mr. Leppert also argued that funds slated for inclusion in Dallas' 2007-2008 city budget will help hire at least 200 new police officers and a bevy of new equipment that will help accommodate any workload increase verified response's repeal may cause.
Wednesday's vote comes 21 months after the council voted 8-5 to institute verified response for businesses, with then-Mayor Laura Miller arguing, "I believe in the chief. This makes sense."
Between February 2006 and March 2007, Dallas experienced a 45 percent reduction in burglar-alarm calls and directed $1.56 million in manpower costs spent on responding to false alarm calls on other work, according to city staff's briefing to the council. It also notes that fees charged for false alarms decreased by $1.19 million.
Business burglaries declined by 0.6 percent during a one-year period that ended Feb. 28, according to the presentation to the council.
Mayor Pro Tem Elba Garcia decried Wednesday's decision, saying it hurls Dallas back to the situation it found itself in earlier this decade, when most council members agreed that hundreds of police officer work hours were wasted responding to sounding burglar alarms.
"Today's choice is whether we back up our chief of police and the Dallas Police Department and continue to prepare to protect citizens from harm, or we cave in to the alarm industry," Dr. Garcia said.
"It's about the utilization of a scarce resource," District 5 council member Vonciel Jones Hill said. "Verified response has worked the way it was intended to work. It does not make sense to continue to send a scarce resource to false alarms when we have higher priorities."
District 14 council member Angela Hunt later said, "Our police chief helped us use our scarce resources ... to their highest and best use. Why are we taking them off the street? Why are we taking them out of our neighborhoods to cater to false alarms? We should listen to [Chief Kunkle's] guidance and not be swayed by politics."
Dr. Garcia then offered a substitute motion to shelve Wednesday's verified response vote, and task the council's newly constituted Public Safety Committee, of which she is chairwoman, with further studying verified response.
Her motion failed 9-6, and Mr. Leppert called for a vote on the original motion.

The New Orleans Saints do not know yet whether Darren Sproles will be available Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys.The dangerous running back and kick returner suffered a concussion on the second play last week against the New York Jets, missed the rest of the game, and the Saints missed him."You obviously miss a guy like that who is a matchup nightmare for most defenses," receiver Lance Moore told New Orleans reporters. "Not to say that we were scrambling to try to replace him, but you don't always game plan 'if this guy is out, what do you do?' It's something you have to adjust on the fly."Sproles is one of the Saints' favorite weapons because of his versatility. But the Cowboys have largely contained him. In three games against the Cowboys, Sproles has 70 yards rushing and 107 yards receiving. But he has averaged 29 yards on seven kickoff returns.DroppedLike the Cowboys, the Saints had problems with dropped balls last week. Wide receiver Lance Moore said it's the No. 1 thing that hurt the Saints."If you watch the specific plays, two right off the top of my head could potentially be touchdown plays," he said. "We've just got to keep working. It's not something where we're going to watch the film and say, 'Hey, it's not going to happen again.' It's something we are going to directly address when we are out on the field and do whatever it takes to make sure it doesn't happen again."Vilma returnsLinebacker Jonathan Vilma played last week for the first time this year. He missed the first seven games recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery in August. He was in on 12 snaps.Key stat125.6Average passer rating at home for Drew Brees this season.

Running back Travaris Cadet returned kickoffs. The Saints averaged 20.3 yards on kickoff returns and did not have a punt return.Briefly• Free safety Malcolm Jenkins and receiver Marques Colston missed last week's game because of knee injuries.
