Buttermilk Pound Cake
April 28, 2010 at 5:56 pm 104 comments
Last week, I spent more time in the airport than in school. I was visiting colleges I'd been accepted to, hoping to find the one that spoke to me. I only applied to schools in the east coast, so there was a lot of flying in store.
My dad went with me. We took eight flights in total, and unfortunately, we weren't lucky when it came to the Russian roulette of flight-booking. Nearly all of our flights were red-eye. I was in the middle seat almost every time, and not always next to my dad. I sat next to a baby – twice. And none of the flights came with food, though that might have been a good thing.
But for me, the worst part about it was the boredom. The amusement of my iPod faded quickly, especially without internet access: no Facebook, no Twitter, no email or WordPress for six hours. I wasn't able to make calls or send texts. Without my phone, my iPod, and my camera, I didn't know what to do.
I remember my impatience on our last flight home. The plane half landed, bouncing gently up and down and still moving fast enough to make my head spin. I had my phone turned on before the plane had come to a slow roll, before our pilot could say "Welcome to Seattle" and remind us to keep our seatbelts on. I texted my best girlfriend E- (and also checked to see if airport wifi went out this far. It didn't.)
E- wasn't texting back quickly enough, so I impatiently slapped the cell phone screen a few times. I glanced up to see the man in the aisle seat staring at me. We both laughed a little and I told him, "Sometimes she texts like she's only got one hand." He didn't get it, so I added, "Super slowly."
His expression told me that he was seeing something completely foreign, and I felt embarrassed. I pushed my cell phone into my pocket and worked on lifting out my bags. I didn't check my phone again until my dad and I were reunited and standing outside, waiting for the car to pick us up.
I think it's safe to say that people my age truly compose the generation of instant gratification. We say we just like to feel connected and make our voices heard, but that isn't entirely true. We like the power of feeling up to speed, of knowing everything as it happens. When we decide we want something, we can't get it out of our heads. We want it now, and if we have to wait, our moods sour.
I'm guilty of it. When the bus runs a few minutes off schedule, I turn up my iPod and pout a little, already impatient at my wasted time. When the mood suddenly strikes to watch a certain movie, I immediately drive out to the local Blockbuster, unable to wait for tomorrow. I hate lines, traffic, and even the amount of time it takes for a soda to fall out of the vending machine.
E-, the friend who I texted after my flight, approached me before class a month or two ago. She handed me a slice of buttermilk pound cake in a Tupperware container. It was as simple as pound cake gets, no frills or distractions – no hints of lavender, no chocolate marble swirl, no vanilla bean glaze or berry puree. Not even a dusting of powdered sugar. As the bell rang and we all found our seats, I tried a little piece.
I shouldn't have been fooled by its humble appearances. This cake was something extraordinary.
E- told me the secret ingredient was time. She'd discovered that if she waited a day or two before cutting into it, everything about this pound cake improved – the flavor, the texture of the crumb, its dynamics. The slightly sugary crust that formed along the edges, giving it a bit of a crunch? The sweet, gentle tang of buttermilk? All side effects of her patience.
I got the recipe, determined to bake the thing and let it sit. But the trouble started even before the oven preheated. I love the taste of batter, and this batter tasted amazing. After two little dips into it I told myself I had to stop or there wouldn't be any cake to age. I showed some uncharacteristic restraint and slid the pan into the oven.
An hour later, the house smelled incredible. Like sugar and butter and cream and home. When I opened the oven door, the kitchen filled up with warm, fragrant air. I turned the cake out onto a rack and breathed in the sugary steam rising up from it. I really, really wanted to try it. I thought about taking a little crumb from the bottom where nobody was sure to miss it. But I let the cake cool and then packed it up so I wouldn't be tempted.
I didn't think I could do it, but two days later, I cut the first piece of pound cake. I could feel how richly dense it was as the knife sank through. I broke off a piece the way I had a couple months ago. Completely and utterly worth waiting for.
Appearance-wise, this pound cake is certainly humble. If you're like me, the kind of person who judges recipes on the photos and likes baked goods with an impressive air, you might be surprised. This pound cake is everything you'd want in a real pound cake. It's not a delicate strawberry short cake kind of pound cake – it's unabashedly dense, heavy in exactly the right way.
If you like buttermilk, the flavor is wonderful. It's sweet, with just a little bit of tang. By the second day, the pound cake gets a little sugary crust around the bottom. If that doesn't sound appealing, believe me, it is. It adds just a tiny bit of crunch and is so, so good.
While this recipe is a great way to use up buttermilk, you don't need it. I almost never buy it, since it's so easy to make: just put a tablespoon of lemon juice or vinegar in a measuring cup and add enough milk to make it all equal 1 cup. Then let it sit for 5-10 minutes while you prep the rest of the recipe.
I don't know what the cake tasted like right after baking. All I know is that when I finally tried it, it was perfect. My advice is that you make the pound cake, let it cool, then keep it loosely wrapped for a day or so. Even overnight would work. The cake lasts a long time, but it might not stick around long enough for you to find out.
Cruze Farm Buttermilk Pound Cake
Slightly adapted from the New York Times
Makes a 9″ bundt cake
1 1/2 cups (3 sticks) unsalted room temperature butter, plus more for greasing the pan
3 1⁄2 cups sifted all-purpose flour, plus more for flouring the pan
1⁄2 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
2 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
4 large eggs, room temperature
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup cultured buttermilk (see above to make your own)
Juice of 1 lemon, strained
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Butter and flour a bundt pan.
Sift together the flour, salt, and baking soda. In a stand mixer, beat the butter and drizzle in the sugar, creaming it well. Add the eggs one at a time, after the egg before it has been incorporated. Beat in the vanilla extract, scraping down the sides. On low speed, add a third of the flour mixture until just combined. Then add a third of the buttermilk mixture until just combined. Repeat with the remaining flour and buttermilk. Stir in the lemon juice.
Smooth the batter into the prepared pan. Bake until a toothpick or thin knife comes out clean, about 75 minutes. The cake should be browned and the edges should be starting to pull away. Cool for 20 minutes in the pan, then invert onto a rack and cool completely.

Wonderful cake! My family loved it with fresh strawberries.
I made this pound cake for Mother's Day this past weekend (the only change I made was that I added the seeds from a vanilla bean) and it was a HUGE hit. Topped it with some fresh strawberries and blueberries but the piece I just had for breakfast this morning was divine all on its own too. You were completely right about this one… WOW!
Keep on BAKING! Good Luck in your future!
I just made this today- I can't wait to try it tomorrow!
Your directions are so easy to follow- thank you :D
So I have one question I hope you have the time to answer it soon since I can't wait to try this recipe: how do you make the cream that accompanies this cake?? Thanks.I'm in love with your blog!!
I just made this cake and loved it! (I couldn't wait the two days to try it…) Your photos are beautiful; I always love checking your blog.
I made this cake a few weeks ago and it bubbled over my pan, onto the heating element and started smoking. I had to take it out of the oven waaaaay under done, and it collapsed. The salvaged part was good enough that my husband asked (demanded actually) another. The second time, I put it on a cookie sheet, and it bubbled over again. But those slightly overcooked hunks of crispy cake were KILLER. It didn't come out of the pan perfectly, but he ate, and ate and ate. A scant few days after it was gone, he asked for another. He leaves for China on Monday, so I whipped it up today, and it was PERFECT. Still bubbled over, but I was ready for it. I guess my pan is too small, or I haven't been letting my batter clean up crew lick enough batter. I offered to pour some batter into custard cuts for them to pretend it was pudding, but they thought that was a little much! Anyway, LOVE this. I leave out the lemon and kick up the vanilla a little, we are not into lemony desserts. We are actually into chocolate desserts, which makes this cake VERY special. Thanks!!!
uhhhhhhhhhh that would be "custard cups"
Just found your blog and its lovely. I'd like to try this recipe, however, I'm not a baker and don't have a bundt pan. How long would it need to cook in a loaf pan?
No problem! I went out and bought a bundt pan just for this occasion. This cake was awesome and I'll definitely be making it again and again. thank you.

I love how well written your blog is. :) I saw this recipe on your blog a couple days ago, and I've been thinking about making this ever since. I already took out my butter and eggs to let them warm up to room temp. While I can't wait to bake it and eat it, I will be patient, because I've already waited two days, what's one or two more? Thank you so much for this recipe and the wonderful pictures! :D By the way, I'm going to take your pictures and save them on a word document with the recipe so I don't have to open a browser every time to see your gorgeous pictures. It's just a heads up! :)
Hi Elissa,
I Love your blog
I would love to send you some Cruze Farm buttermilk for you try in your baking. The Cruze Farm Buttermilk Pound Cake is my mom's recipe, and my father is the buttermilk maker.
Send me your address so I can send you some real churned buttermilk!
Colleen Cruze
i'm a little confused on how many waiting days. for example i i baked it on mon. ca i finally eat on wedn. or thurs.???
and can it wait for more than 2 days too??
The recipe says 3 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour. Which means you sift before measuring, correct?
Properly stored, pound cakes can last a surprisingly long time. Carole Walter's book Great Cakes advises, "Store in an airtight container, in a cool place such as a basement or a porch, but not in the refrigerator or the cake will dry out. . . . This cake will keep for several weeks if properly cared for."
Also, loaf pans work, but it still takes over an hour to bake. This is an enormous recipe, so you'd need two pans; for comparison, Walter's recipes calling for a 9x5x2.75 pan (8 c capacity) call for only 2.5 c flour.
Buttermilk in the fridge – it was meant to be. Will put on the calendar for Sunday afternoon.
Can I use Betty Crocker Pound Cake mix (just because I bought it before I went searching for recipes) and use this "buttermilk…" would the results be similar?
Thanks for replying back to me so soon! I have a bake sale tomorrow for a parent's conference thing at my school and I needed to bring in something, and I had previously bought the pound cake mix. But, I'll definitely try this recipe for myself next time lol looks so good!

Could you please let me know how much in grams, what 3 sticks of butter would be, thank you. Beautiful photos and recipes.
Thank you so much for your reply Elissa. In England a stick of butter is 8oz so I thought something wasn't quite right!!!!!!
You have so much talent, I love your photography too, so Good Luck in all you do.

Do you have quite a deep bundt pan? Because mine is a 9-inch, but the batter bubbled way over and is lovin' the bottom of my oven. Just wondering what your dimensions are.
I made this culinary confection this morning. Being the fact I am also a person with very little patience, I knew there was no way I could make that cake and let it sit for a day or two without devouring it. I wanted to make it last night so it could have at least sat overnight, but I was unable to. Well, I could only wait a few hours before I gave in. The cake is delicious. I will be making this regularly. Your pictures are gorgeous. You have done a magnificent job on your blogg my Dear. At such a young age you're better at this then most. I hope you get a chance to read this and you are doing well. Your family also. I hope in time you'll be able to return because you will be doing the world a disservice if you don't :-)
Yum, this looks so delicious, yet so simple :) I'm not sure if I can wait to taste it, but it sounds like its worth the wait! I've just popped mine into the oven & can't wait to see how it turns out!

I tried this and loved it.. a very simple yet tasty recipe. Thanks a lot.
I've made this cake a few times, it tastes so good! When my sister went on a month and a half trip I baked it the day before she left by the time she ate. It was perfect!

How can I make this a standard size bunt pound cake? I made this cake it's wonderful it was not as big as the standard pound cake in height if that makes any sense.
[…] found this recipe on 17 and Baking some time ago, and I set it aside because I knew a cake would never survive […]
The cake came out perfect and as you said very tempting to cut and try , but I wrapped it and know waiting to taste the first slice my two grand daughters. The pho use smells like fresh baked aroma

With Firefox 12 out the door, Mozilla is turning its efforts to polishing up Firefox 13, due out six weeks from now.
If you don't want to wait that long, you can download Firefox 13 from the beta release channel today.
Perhaps the best new feature in Firefox 13 is what's known as "tabs on demand." Tabs on demand refers to the way Firefox restarts when you have multiple tabs open. Firefox will now only restore the currently selected tab; background tabs are not loaded. Tabs on demand is a welcome relief for those of us who browse with dozens of tabs open all the time. You no longer need to fear restarting the browser since you won't have to wait while every tab reloads. Instead, tabs will load only when you select them.
Firefox 13 will bring a slightly new look to some parts of the browser; both the New Tab and the Home Page have been redesigned. The New Tab page now has links to your most recently and frequently visited sites. It looks more or less just like Opera's Speed Dial, which Chrome also mimics. There's an option to pin your favorite sites, as well as a button for rejecting sites you don't want to see.
The default Home Page now has links to menu items like Bookmarks, History, Settings, Add-ons, Downloads and Sync Preferences. There's nothing here that you can't access from the menu bar, but it makes frequently used menu items easier for newcomers to find.
Web developers will be glad to know that Firefox 13 introduces support for Google's not-quite-yet-a-standard SPDY protocol (technically the last two Firefox releases have supported SPDY, but this is the first to have it enabled by default). The SPDY protocol improves on HTTP and in many cases can significantly reduce page load times. SPDY's other main advantage over HTTP is that all traffic is encrypted. Once Firefox 13 and the Opera 12 preview arrive in final form the majority of desktop browsers on the web will support SPDY.
The Firefox 13 beta also brings a number of improvements to the new Developer Tools. For example, the Page Inspector now allows you to lock in CSS pseudo-classes on inspected page elements – handy for checking out what's happening in a
:hover code block.
For more details on everything that's new in the developer tools and the rest of Firefox 13, check out Mozilla's release notes.

Choosing Between C4s and Friends
I'm a big guy, a novice, and am wondering which cam will be more reliable for me, the Black Diamond Camalot or the Wild Country Friend?
I have been slowly piecing my trad rack together, adding gear as my experience increases. I have been using the Omega Pacific Link Cams because I am 6' 7", weigh 265 pounds and need a solid cam that can take a fall. I am in the market for other cams and am deciding between the Black Diamond C4s and the Wild Country Technical Friends. I want versatile cams for horizontal and vertical placements.
—mongo via rockandice.com
Your notion that you need less gear than an experienced climber is so ass backwards it would take a three-handed proctologist to get you squared away.
Let's roll up our sleeves and dig in.
As a novice leader (or any level leader, actually) you should stitch up those pitches tighter than a $1,200 Armani suit, and that requires gear, a lot
of gear. Buy all the cams you think you need, or just want. Do it now! This will be expensive, but cheaper than being on life support and will spare
your family from having to empty your bedpan every week.
At 265 pounds you are wise to factor your heft into the safety equation. Climbing gear standards are set by bony European drones, not by freedom-loving
fatsos like us. The CE drop-test weight, for example, for a single rope is 176 pounds—the mean weight of a 9-year-old school girl in Biloxi.
You are 50 percent heavier than that. Your additional ballast could contribute to gear failure, though to what extent is unknown since little to no
testing has been done in this area. Let's just figure that you are more likely to break or pull gear and leave it at that.
Any of the top-shelf cams that you mention are manufactured using rigid quality control procedures and meet the standards for cams. Both designs have flexible
cable stems for vertical and horizontal placements. That is how they are the same. They are different in ergonomics, slinging, ranges, weights, rated
strengths and price. The ones you prefer will be the ones you buy and get used to using.
The key to stacking the odds in your favor isn't so much which brand cams you use as it is your ability to lower your impact force. I would clip a load-absorbing
draw, such as the Screamers by Yates, to critical pieces of pro and to the smaller cams. Rip-apart slings might reduce your impact forces.
selection is another concern. A rope, more than anything else in your system, can take some of the sting out of your falls. Get a single rope with a low
maximum impact force. A rope with a maximum impact force of 1,600 pounds will be gentler to fall on than one with a maximum impact force of 2,200 pounds.
Last, wear a helmet, and remember your loyal and brave belayer on Valentine's Day.

FAA Issues New Rules Aimed At Keeping Tired Pilots Out Of Cockpits
Saying that they will help make sure that airline pilots are rested before they fly, the Federal Aviation Administration today unveiled new rules about the amount of time off they must get between flights and how long they can be on the job.
"We made a promise to the traveling public that we would do everything possible to make sure pilots are rested when they get in the cockpit," Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said in a statement issued by his department. The new rules, he added, raise "the safety bar."
Some of the details:
-- "Different requirements for pilot flight time, duty period and rest based on the time of day pilots begin their first flight, the number of scheduled flight segments and the number of time zones they cross."
-- "The allowable length of a flight duty period depends on when the pilot's day begins and the number of flight segments he or she is expected to fly, and ranges from 9-14 hours for single crew operations."
-- "Flight duty includes deadhead transportation, training in an aircraft or flight simulator, and airport standby or reserve duty if these tasks occur before a flight or between flights without an intervening required rest period."
-- "A 10-hour minimum rest period prior to the flight duty period, a two-hour increase over the previous rules."
-- "Pilots [must] have at least 30 consecutive hours free from duty on a weekly basis, a 25 percent increase over the previous rules."
As The Associated Press explains:
"Researchers say fatigue, much like alcohol, can impair a pilot's performance by slowing reflexes and eroding judgment. The National Transportation Safety Board has been campaigning for two decades for an overhaul of pilot work schedule rules. An effort by the FAA in the late 1990s to develop new rules stalled when pilot unions and airlines were unable to find common ground.
"That effort was revived after the February 2009 crash Continental Connection Flight 3407 near Buffalo [which killed 50 people]. Neither pilot appeared to have slept in a bed the previous night. The flight's captain had logged onto a computer in the middle of the night from an airport crew lounge where sleeping was discouraged. The first officer had commuted overnight from Seattle to Newark, N.J., much of the time sitting in a cockpit jumpseat. They could be heard yawning on the ill-fated flight's cockpit voice recorder."
The FAA says the rules should add about $300 million to passenger airlines' costs over 10 years. The carriers have two years to implement them. Pilots on cargo flights will not be subject to the new rules because the FAA decided they would be too costly for cargo carries to implement. The Air Line Pilots Association finds that exemption disappointing. But the union also cited the new rules as "historic progress" in the effort to address pilot fatigue.
Update at 2:25 p.m. ET. Higher Fares, Fewer Small Planes?
" 'The basic bottom line is consumers can expect to see higher airfares and reduced levels of service as a direct result of these rules," Helane Becker, a Dahlman Rose & Co. airline analyst in New York, said in a telephone interview. Fifty-passenger planes operated by regional airlines including Pinnacle Airlines Corp. (PNCL), Republic Airways Holdings Inc. (RJET) and SkyWest Inc. (SKYW) will 'become dinosaurs' as they become less cost-effective to operate, she said."

Jourdan Adler has cleared dozens of vintage video games from
in Denver to make way for some very special guests: 22 meticulously restored Donkey Kong machines. The swap is in anticipation of the third annual
the Donkey Kong world championships that run Friday through Sunday at The 1Up, Adler's arcade, bar and eatery on Blake Street. 'It's grown so much larger than Donkey Kong,' said Adler, who expects about 2,200 people to attend the free event, up from 1,700 in 2012. 'Next year we want to expand it to essentially host the largest world-record-breaking tournament in gaming history.' That's no idle boast. Last year, Adler bought
, video gaming's record-keeping organization that has supplied scores to Guinness World Records, and moved it to the space above The 1Up. Adler is part of a movement in the Mile High City reclaiming video gaming's social roots, getting players off the couch by creating flesh-and-blood gaming events and communities, where once there were only virtual ones. 'Creative, collaborative relationships just happen naturally in this city,' said Brian Corrigan, founder and director of the upcoming
video game/art project in downtown Denver. 'But if it's not fun, it's not going to happen, so we want to use the power of play to connect people on the street.' OhHeckYeah won a $200,000 grant from ArtPlace America to turn Champa Street between 14th and 16th Streets into a massive public 'arcade' next summer, incorporating the Denver Theatre District's thousands of square feet of LED screens with video projections and social media. The free event, slated to run Thursdays and Saturdays in June and July, will invite everyone to play games via smartphones and the Xbox Kinect motion-control system during what is essentially a high-tech street festival. 'This idea of meeting and playing like this is actually very old. We're just recontextualizing and updating it,' said Corrigan, 32, who formerly taught at Cor-coran College of Art + Design in Washington, D.C. 'That's the power of what we can build with technology – something that just lets people walk outside and stumble into fun.' From Angry Birds to Call of Duty, console-based and downloadable video games are dominant in popular culture. But playing them is an inherently solitary activity – at least in the physical sense. The arcade craze of the late '70s and early '80s, however, was a social phenomenon that drew millions to public spaces to play games such as Pac-Man and Space Invaders. That social-gaming culture has enjoyed a resurgence thanks in large part to the 2007 documentary
which shed light on the history of competitive arcade gaming. 'That movie struck such a chord with so many of us,' said Adler, 37. 'And somehow, the most world-renowned collector and game restorer just happened to live in Parker.' Adler is referring to Jon Jamshid, who returned home to Colorado from Florida in 2006 with his private collection of
, now valued at more than $100,000. Jamshid runs the industry-standard
in addition to buying, selling and trading games internationally. He thinks Colorado's success in mining the past for new ideas is due to gamers' high standards. 'I've always been a purist,' said Jamshid, 43, who now works as The 1Up's official technician. 'If somebody plays at our place and has a score, it actually means something because it's all original hardware.' You don't have to be a hard-core gamer to enjoy a 'barcade,' however. The concept has been popular nationally for a half-dozen years, but when Adler brought it to Denver in 2011, he found a market hungry for entertainment-themed bars. His location helps. The 1Up is a half block from Coors Field and offers something the area's dozens of sports bars don't: a hip, retro atmosphere and something to play besides trivia and billiards. Adler opened his second 'barcade' on Capitol Hill in 2012, dubbed The 2Up, which will triple in size next month when it rebrands itself as The 1Up: Colfax. The 8,000-square-foot entertainment hall in the renovated Kitty's East space on East Colfax Avenue will feature a live music stage and, of course, more vintage games. 'Any time you pull these people out from the doldrums of online social media and chat to finally meet face-to-face,' Adler said, 'it's a success.' John Wenzel:

The cheese, buried with the mummy in an overturned wooden boat wrapped tightly in cowhide, was from an unknown people traveling during the Bronze Age, roughly between 3000 BCE and 450 BCE. The burial conditions created a vacuum-like environment to preserve the cheese-yellow clumps that resembled kefir, a soft cheese made from a combination of milk, yeast and bacteria similar to cottage cheese.

It's unclear why cheese was with the mummy, but researcher Andrej Shevchenko, who led the study, told USA Today it might have been considered the food of the afterlife. 'We not only identified the product as the earliest known cheese, but we also have direct … evidence of ancient technology,' Shevchenko said to USA Today. A chemist at
's Max Planck Institute of Molecular Cell Biology and Genetics, Shevchenko says his team determined it was cheese, and not butter or milk, by analyzing the proteins in the cheese. The study's results will be published in the 'Journal of Archaeological Science.' No crackers, cured meats or other hors d'oeuvres were found with the mummy. This article originally appeared on

The beautiful bright moon that hovered over the Nationals Park scoreboard wasn't officially full, but what other explanation could there be for the 4 1/2-hour spectacle that unfolded Thursday night.
The night that had it all started with an awesome display by one young superstar-to-be and ended with a burst bubble about another.
In between, the game that saw 43 players pound out 30 hits over 13 innings was overflowing with personal drama.
Take your pick: Jordan Zimmerman's return from Tommy John surgery, the roughing up of St. Louis Cardinals ace Chris Carpenter, Albert Pujols hitting his 400th career home run, then twisting his ankle in extra innings, Drew Storen blowing his first save, Roger Bernadina hitting his first home run at Nationals Park to tie the game in the 9th, Ian Desmond's walk-off RBI in the 13th inning…
As if on queue, the Nationals racing presidents were prepared to match the drama step by step with a few oddities and milestones of their own.
In his 4th appearance this season, Teddy Roosevelt's longtime nemesis "That Cat" appeared along the first baseline, dancing about in front of the stands during the 4th-inning presidents race.
Teddy jumped out to a big lead in the race, but when he spotted the panther, he veered off course to pummel him into the stands.
Thomas Jefferson took the tape.
As the game advanced into the night and the crowd thinned, the Bull Moose took to the stands to entertain the crowd.
In the 12th inning, Teddy parked in centerfield section 101, posing for photos with fans. When he was still there at the top of the 13th, we knew trouble was in store.
For the seventh time in presidents race history, the Nationals took a home game into the 13th inning, leading to that rare treat for presidents race fans:
a second official race of the night.
Apparently Teddy didn't get the memo.
When Washington, Jefferson, and Lincoln burst out of the centerfield starting gate, Teddy was still hanging out with fans in the stands. He jumped up from his seat and raced around the concourse, but didn't make it to the field in time to compete.
In another milestone, George, Tom,
and Abe crossed the finish line in a dead heat. The race was too close to
call, and Screech awarded a first-ever
presidents race tie to Tom and Abe.
Here are two great videos courtesy of YouTube member lfahome, including a great capture of Teddy's encounter with That Cat!

Morning Jolt: Man shot by police on his own property
In the news
A Florida man who was looking for cigarettes in his car was shot by police officers last weekend. Roy Middleton, 60, was looking for cigarettes in the car parked at his house when a neighbor called 911. Police arrived as Middleton was still searching, and they ordered him to put his hands up. He raised his hands and turned around when police opened fire, he said. "It was like a firing squad. Bullets were flying everywhere," said Middleton, who fortunately escaped with only a gunshot wound to his leg, for which he was hospitalized. A teenager who witnessed the shooting said police fired with no provocation.

Today in the News: 8-year-old sworn in as Maryland gov - for a day
News to know
An 8-year-old girl was sworn in as governor for a day in Maryland today. Genea Harrison, a fourth-grader, won the opportunity because of her essay in a contest encouraging females to pursue public-service careers. Genea got to help swear in Maryland's transportation secretary and energy administrator, and met with an ambassador from Taiwan.
Quote of note
"I knew how grueling the process was and I felt that there may be others who could be more effective in actually winning and then getting America on course. I got into this out of a sense of obligation to the things I believed in and love for the country, but not because it was something I desperately wanted so that I could feel better about myself." - Mitt Romney, talking about how he initially was against running for president in 2012. This is revealed in a book by Dan Blaz, "Collision 2012: Obama vs. Romney and The Future of Elections in America." The book comes out Aug. 6.

Should the threat to traditional media from the internet really be a cause for concern?
The new social media — blogging, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and YouTube are current faves — revolutionising the publishing world, for better and worse. Let's look at both the better and the worse in perspective.
The current tsunami of personal choices in communication is slowly draining the profit from mainstream media. These media traditionally depend on huge audiences who all live in one region and mostly want the same things (the football scores, the crossword, the TV Guide, etc.). But that is all available now on the Internet, all around the world, all the time.
One outcome is a death watch on many newspapers, including famous ones like the Boston Globe. As journalist Paul Gillin noted recently: "The newspaper model scales up very well, but it scales down very badly. It costs a newspaper nearly as much to deliver 25,000 copies as it does to deliver 50,000 copies. Readership has been in decline for 30 years and the decline shows no signs of abating. Meanwhile, new competition has sprung up online with a vastly superior cost structure and an interactive format that appeals to the new generation of readers."
Traditional electronic media are not doing any better. As James Lewin observes in "Television audience plummeting as viewers move online" (May 19, 2008), mainstream broadcasters "will have to come to terms with YouTube, video podcasts and other Internet media or they'll face the same fate as newspapers."
Radio audiences have likewise tanked. Overall, the recent decline of traditional media is remarkable.
Some conservative writers insist that mainstream media's failure is due to its liberal bias. But conservatives have charged that for decades — to no effect. Another charge is that TV is declining because it is increasingly gross or trivial. True enough, but TV's popularity was unaffected for decades by its experiments with edgy taste.
Let's look more closely at the structure of the system to better understand current steep declines. Due to the low cost of modern media technology, no clear distinction now exists between a mainstream medium and a non-mainstream one, based on either number of viewers or production cost. Today, anyone can put up a video at YouTube at virtually no cost. Popular videos get hundreds of thousands of views. Podcasting and videocasting are also cheap. A blog can be started for free, within minutes, at Blogger. It may get 10 viewers or 10,000, depending on the level of popular interest. But the viewers control that, not the providers.
The key change is that the traditional media professional is no longer a gatekeeper who can systematically admit or deny information. Consumers program their own print, TV, or radio, and download what they want to their personal devices. They are their own editors, their own filmmakers, their own disc jockeys.
Does that mean more bias or less? It's hard to say, given that consumers now manage their own level of bias. So they can hear much more biased news — or much less. And, as Podcasting News observes, "Social media is a global phenomenon happening in all markets regardless of wider economic, social and cultural development."
Understandably, traditional media professionals, alarmed by these developments, have constructed a doctrine of "localism" and, in some cases, called for government to bail them out. That probably won't help, just as it wouldn't have helped if the media professionals had called for a government "bailed out" of newspapers when they were threatened by radio, or of radio when it was threatened by TV. Video really did (sort of) kill the radio star, but the radio star certainly won't be revived by government grants.
Still, the news is not all bad. Yes, new media do sometimes kill old media. For example, no one seriously uses pigeon post to send messages today. But few ever thought birdmail was a great system, just the only one available at the time. However, radio did not kill print, and TV did not kill radio. Nor will the Internet kill older media; it will simply change news delivery. Sometimes in a minor way, but sometimes radically.
Media that work, whether radio, TV, newspapers, books, blogs, or any other, thrive when there is a true need. Today's challenge is to persuade the consumer to look at alternatives to their own programming decisions.

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections AIDS-Related Opportunistic Infections
|Drug: Emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate Drug: Lopinavir/ritonavir Drug: Stavudine
|Phase 4
Despite the advent of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART), many HIV infected patients without access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) present with acute OIs. Such presentations pose a management problem, as there are currently no data available as to whether initiating HAART during the acute presentation is of benefit. Reports of an immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) marked by increasing hypoxia or new pulmonary infiltrates have been associated with the initiation of ART in patients with AIDS. There is also concern as to drug interactions between ART and antimicrobials used to treat the presenting OI. This study will evaluate the possible benefits and costs of initiating ART in HIV infected patients who present with an AIDS-defining OI.
There are 2 steps in this study. In Step 1, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms. Arm A will receive ART within 2 weeks of starting therapy for the acute OI. Arm B will have ART deferred until Step 2, at least 4 weeks and no more than 32 weeks after beginning therapy for the acute OI. Only Arm B participants will enter Step 2, which will likely begin between Weeks 6 and 12. The study will make the following drugs available for construction of an antiretroviral (ARV) regimen: emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF), lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/RTV), and stavudine (d4T). Use of other ARV drugs is at the discretion of the study official. Drug regimen additions and substitutions will be made on a case-by-case basis.
Patients will be followed for 48 weeks and will have 10 study visits. All study visits will include a physical exam, medication history, and blood collection. Patients will be asked to complete questionnaires assessing health status and adherence at selected visits.

Here is a list of different processor families, with miscellaneous notes for development information:
See also Hardware Hacking for a list of systems that include these processors.
See ARM website and the Wikipedia ARM article for information about the ARM architecture and processor family.
From the Linux perspective, there are 2 very different kinds of ARM chips:
- ARM processors that include a memory management unit (MMU), and can run standard Linux
- ARM processors without MMU. These can run a modified version of Linux called uClinux ( http://uclinux.org/ ), enabling Linux to run on MMUless platforms or embedded processors with memory protection unit (MPU). These include ARM processors such as ARM7TDMI, ARM1156T2(F)-S or ARM Cortex-R4(F) for instance.
Please note that because of security considerations for MMU-less processors, it is unwise to use them when 3rd-party or untrusted code will be running on the device. For locked-down, single function devices, MMU-less processors may be appropriate. They are usually less expensive than processors with MMU.

The Beautiful White Deer of Boulder Junction
Albino Deer or "White Deer" are White-tailed Deer and are quite rare in Northern Wisconsin. There are only 200 to 300 Albinos in the entire state of Wisconsin. We are very lucky to live near a State Forest and lots of private land. Albinos are protected in Northern Wisconsin and cannot be hunted.
When we first moved here in 1994 we would only see a couple of Albinos every now and then. When I built a Food plot to attract deer there were 4 Albinos living on our land and another 20 or 25 within 2 or 3 miles. Unfortunately their numbers have dwindled and we are now down to 2 on our land with a scattered population of them all around the surrounding Boulder Junction area.
They live with the brown whitetails but do not like them. The Albinos are a lot more aggressive and will fight the brown whitetails to chase them away. They do interbreed and have both white and brown fawns. We love all the deer but when an Albino comes into sight you do not even notice the brown deer. They are truly one of God's most beautiful and rare animals.

Today's Music:
Tom Petty – Runnin Down A Dream
The fun starts in the parking lot! Grab a ticket. Drive up towards the guy who presumably works there. (The "Attendant" jacket is a clue.) Then find out that he either doesn't, or doesn't care. Find four spots. See that the other idiots have parked in two spots at three of them.
Wedge your way into the fourth spot.
Now the real fun begins.
The attendant at the DMV actually does pay attention. Unlike the old days, there is a kiosk. Tell the nice man what you want, and he'll tap the correct key and a ticket will spit out, with a number.
If you're really lucky, he'll even have the form you need!
So I get my ticket and fill out my form. Then I wait. And wait. And wait.
Finally they call my number! I go to the window and tell them why I'm there. They say great! Make sure when we call you back, you stress what you're here for, even if it's me. Because I certainly won't remember. Oh, and your wife can't wait with you.
(Fortunately, I thought there might be waiting and asked her to bring her book.)
(Which she'd have done anyway.)
(God, I love that woman!)
So I sit.
And wait……..
Eventually, they call me again.
I sit down to take my test.
Twenty questions.
Over half of them are about driving and alcohol. I've been driving for over twenty years. I answer those questions easily.
Two of them are on road signs. I guess. Seriously, does anyone actually read the signs, or do we all just check the shape and color? Three of them are motorcycle-specific. I did study, so I answer those carefully and correctly.
Hand in the test, and…wait!
To recap: Enter, get a number ticket, sign in, take the test and hand it in.
Time to do this: 18 minutes.
Time spent at DMV so far (including waiting): 107 minutes.
I'm now waiting for them to grade my test and call me up to sign the form and tell me if I passed.
There is a woman doing this with a trainee. The two of them are having a grand old time, laughing and telling each other stories. In twenty minutes, four applicants are processed.
The trainee gets up to get another chair. He leaves the woman at the counter by herself for 9 minutes. Six more applicants are processed.
My turn!!!
"Did I pass?"
She looks back at the form.
"You did. 100%. First one on the motorcycle exam today. Now, sign here, and wait for your name to be called at the register."
YIPPE– crap.
And I (sing it with me!) wait…
Finally they call me to pay.
"Can I use cash"
"Mumble mumble"
"Ok…how much do I owe you"
"mumble mumble"
"Sorry, how much?"
I drop my money on the counter.
She makes change and hands me my permit.
Three hours after I arrived, I leave the DMV.
Next is the Motorcycle Safety Foundation two day course.
At least that ride has seats.

I know I'm posting to this several months late, but I still want to take the opportunity to congratulate you on four years. You were one of the first people i "followed." I, too, have been remiss in posting, but I've had a few genealogically-related projects that have kept me busy and filled the void. I hope to get back to regular blogging sometime in 2013.

SEOUL » North and South Korean warships exchanged artillery fire Thursday in disputed waters off the western coast, South Korean military officials said, in the latest sign of rising animosity between the bitter rivals in recent weeks.
Officials from the South's Joint Chiefs of Staff and Defense Ministry said a South Korean navy ship was engaged in a routine patrol near the countries' disputed maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea when a North Korean navy ship fired two artillery shells. The shells did not hit the South Korean ship and fell in waters near it, they said.
The South Korean ship then fired several artillery rounds in waters near the North Korean ship which also did not hit it, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity because of office rules.
South Korea was trying to determine if the North Korean ship had attempted to hit the South Korean vessel but missed, or if the shells were not meant to hit the ship.
Officials said that residents on the frontline Yeonpyeong Island were evacuated to shelters, and fishing ships in the area were ordered to return to ports. In 2010, North Korea fired artillery at the island, killing two civilians and two marines.
Kang Myeong-sung, a Yeonpyeong resident, said in a phone interview that hundreds of residents were in underground shelters after loudspeakers ordered them there. He heard the sound of artillery fire and said many people felt uneasy at first but later began to stop worrying.
Both Koreas regularly conduct artillery drills in the disputed waters. The sea boundary is not clearly marked, and the area has been the scene of three bloody naval skirmishes between the rival Koreas since 1999.
In Washington, State Department spokeswoman said Thursday the United States was closely monitoring the situation on the Korean Peninsula in coordination with allied South Korea. She urged North Korea "to refrain from provocative actions that aggravate tensions" and exercise restraint.
North Korea has in recent weeks conducted a string of artillery drills and missile tests and has unleashed a torrent of racist and sexist rhetoric at the leaders of the U.S. and South Korea.
On Tuesday, South Korean navy ships fired warning shots to repel three North Korean warships that briefly violated the disputed sea boundary. On Wednesday, North Korea's military vowed to retaliate.
North Korean military ships and fishing boats have routinely intruded into South Korean-controlled waters that the North doesn't recognize. The Yellow Sea boundary was unilaterally drawn by the U.S.-led U.N. Command at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War.
Associated Press writer Matthew Pennington in Washington contributed to this report.

I wanted to post an update of how things are growing here at the homestead this spring. I'm excited about our gardens this year, and we've worked pretty hard at getting the yard in shape after last year's tree removal. Last weekend, we finished the privacy fence along the driveway. We are really excited about this, since now we'll be able to explore planting some fruit trees or berry bushes or something permanent along the fence line (we're not sure what yet). Now we just have a flagstone patio to install (and a pergola)!
We've had a lot of spinach so far this spring from plants that self-seeded last year. And we've enjoyed bits of Swiss chard here and there from plants that we planted last year, overwintered and have just kept right on going. Perpetual chard!
I'm very excited that our garlic is growing so well. I think we planted enough for the coming year, plus enough for seed (I'm hoping anyway). And our potatoes that we planted have grown so much that we've hilled up three times so far. I'm hoping for a big harvest there as well.
The neighbor has already planted a row of corn, and we put the giant pumpkin seeds in the ground last week (along with a few sunflowers). This week will be our main summer planting. We are excited to get all those seedlings in – tomatoes, basil, peppers, chives, rhubarb, strawberries…
How is your garden shaping up so far?

Welcome to the Schell Urban Homestead's end of July virtual garden tour! I was really excited when Erica at Northwest Edible Life invited me to participate in letting all you Nosy Neighbors peek over our garden fence!
Here's how the Lazy Homesteader does the Nosy Neighbor Virtual Homestead & Garden Tour:
The first part of this tour that makes me really excited is that I'm actually documenting what the whole garden is doing at a given point in the summer. I never remember when we get the first tomato (this week! A Silver Fir Tree Russian heirloom). The kohlrabi is a giant variety that Rick's grandpa brought us from Slovakia. It will get to be over 8 pounds and will not be woody. It also keeps great all winter, and it's starting to bulb up to about baseball size in the last few days of July. Rick's parents shared cucumbers with us last week and the week before, but ours have only just begun to flower.
The unexpected thing that I am loving about this tour is the truth of it. In the pictures of the onions and watermelons, you can see both the weeds I've neglected to pull, and the light-colored, hard clay that we grow in here in Colorado. Normally, I'd make an effort to hide both the weeds and the soil, because the shiny-happy blogger in me wants you to think that my garden is perfectly groomed and full of rich, dark, beautiful loamy soil. In fact, some people do think that. Rick's grandparents even commented this week on how they couldn't grow something that we could because their soil (about 25 miles from us) is hard clay. Rick and I burst out laughing. So here's the proof. We don't have perfect soil. This is how it looks after eight years of work amending it. And I'm glad I let it show.
Some of my other favorite highlights from the slideshow (the shiny-happy stuff):
Corn from our neighbor's garden, actually. His corn is peeking over our front yard fence. Well, not peeking, so much as towering. We are actually sharing our harvests this year, so that is how I'm justifying including crops that belong to someone else in my garden tour. 😉
The hundreds of tiny cherry tomatoes on H's plants make me giddy. And I can't believe how big those two plants are. Over six feet high!
The garlic I harvested in the week before C was born is drying in the garage, and the beets I pulled a few days ago are beautiful, although we might have pulled them about a week earlier if we weren't in new baby mode.
We're still waiting on the first eggs from the pullets, but we are getting two or three a day still from the older hens.
I was really hoping to include a picture of our raspberries this year, but they suddenly quit producing just last week. Luckily I found something in the strawberry bed to show you instead!
Be sure to check out the other homesteads and gardens in Erica's Nosy Neighbor Tour. Thanks for stopping by!

You just moved to New York, whether in hopes of finding a job – or because you were offered a job, but you lack the resources to find activities, to mingle with other Jews of similar interests and circumstances. What to do, what to do? I remember when I first moved to New York City, though I had a few friends living here already, there was nothing like this available. That vacuum, however, has now been filled…
Last evening, I attended JICNY's 7th Annual Gala, celebrating the first decade of this organization. We spoke to the founders, members of the Board of Trustees, teachers, and regular members. Tomorrow evening May 23rd we will broadcast the pre-taped interviews on BlogTalk Radio.com/Kosherscene at 7:30pm. (Eastern Time).
What impressed me the most, after interviewing quite a few people, was the tremendous dedication of the three founding members (Jodi Samuels – of Metroimma and Jdeal, Gavin Samuels – Jodi's husband, Steven Eisenberg), the dedication of the Board of Trustees under the Chairmanship of Jeff Stier. What's amazing is that in spite of the time involved EVERYONE is a volunteer!
As you will hear tomorrow evening at 7:30pm (Eastern Time) the members we spoke to (hailing from many corners of the world), were enthusiastic about JICNY, many either met through this organization, got interested in yiddishkeit through JICNY, or were able to define and discover themselves specifically because of the activities which they directed or participated in.
The evening's honorees were: Blossom and Ilan Cohen (Couple of the Year Award), Ruth and Sivan Katz (Leadership Award), Gavin Stone (Dedication to Jewish Life Award).
Among the many activities JICNY organizes are weekly Monday eve shiurim on Torah (in 5 languages), cooking demos featuring various international cuisines, job listings, Shabbat and yom tovim hospitality, and many more. With over 10,000 members in their database, seventy four marriages came about as a direct result of the couples meeting through the organization and a few more happening over the coming months; over 10,000 members were hosted for Shabbatot (with indefatigable Jody holding the record for thousands benefiting from her open home, her open heart). I wish there had been a JICNY when I first came to these shores from Montevideo, Uruguay.

A phrase like "Manly Pursuits"—the title of our Thomas Eakins exhibition, which opened yesterday—requires a strong statement for an exhibition title wall. I knew I wanted to do a take on the banners seen in the background of Eakins's boxing paintings, but the trick was how to get them up there.
There needed to be ropes. Wrestling, boxing, rowing, equestrian riding, and sailing—ropes are used in all of them. I dug around at hardware stores and scoured Marine supply websites looking for the perfect pulleys, fender hooks, and manila rope.
With a lot of help from our great Gallery Services staff and the good folks at Olson Visual, who produced the banners, we managed to create really cool exposed rigging that connotes the hardware of sailing, while recasting Eakins's work in a slightly steampunk light.
The man on the banners is John L. Sullivan, who was both the last of the bare-knuckle fighters and the first heavyweight gloved boxer. Sullivan was fighting at the same time Eakins was painting, and was one of the first American sports superstars. Eakins and Sullivan each symbolize two sides of the professional athlete. While Eakins seemed to paint the quiet quest for physical excellence, Sullivan was photographed for cigarette cards and made millions—a harbinger for the flashy, billion dollar industry professional sports has become in the last hundred years.

Non- Surgical Hair Weaving Why it is effective?
In today's world, where all of us are facing so many problems physically, mentally, emotionally because of pollution, bad eating habits, heredity. Baldness is the most common problem faced both by men and women. Reason could be any including cancer patients who are going chemotherapy sessions. They too have to face temporary baldness.
You can cover your baldness through two ways. One is surgical weaving and another is non-surgical hair weaving. Surgical weaving is a very painful process and also very expensive. Everyone can't afford it. Non surgical process is cheaper and not at all painful. In this type of hair weaving, a hair patch is fixed on the bald area of the head via clips, tapes and glue. You can remove the hair patch as per your convenience. You can wash it with any good shampoo and can apply conditioner or serum on it. Hair patch comes in different sizes depending upon the size of bald area. It comes in various qualities from normal monofilament patch to paper silk base. The life of a normal mono filament hair patch is from 1.5 years to 2 years.
It actually depends on how one takes care of it. You just have to go to nearby salon and get it cut in a style that suits you. You can have more than 1 hair patch and get it cut in different hair styles. How to install wigs A man needs to learn the basic knowledge before he can put on a wig correctly. Here are some instructions of how to put on men's wigs right.
1. Pin the cap to the hair before wearing the wig. There are two purposes for wearing caps: keeping hair below the wig and adding further safety against the wig falling off.
For those who have short hair, they can wear the wig directly without tiring the cap.
2. Set the wig on. You want to start in front and push it on from the front to the back.
3. Adjust the wig to make clear in your mind that its hairline looks natural, and also make sure that ear tabs are located at the ears. Do allow sufficient time to adjust the wig previous to you go to a party.
4. Adjust the wig once more in the mirror after put it on. Comb the wig by anti-static steel tooth comb. In everyday life, styling glue can be used to keep the wig usual and orderly. To keep the wig clean and make it have texture and layers, the wearer needs to wash it correctly after taking it off.
5. Unlike women's wigs, men's wigs require less maintenance. They only need to be combed from time to time. And the curly hair needs to be combed from base up, to avoid the hair from tangling.
6. Layer the little hair when it is wet, by combing it starting front to back and making it stand up. Men can use hair styling cream to make the wigs seem exactly similar as the natural human hair. Put a wig on properly can make sure that you feel comfortable when wearing it. And the best way to give your wig a long lifespan is to wash it in the correct way. So it is also important for men to know how to wash wigs correctly. The wigs want to be taken care of in correct ways.
After you wear a wig for a while, you need to take it off and wash it, Here are a few tips of how to wash men's wigs.
1. Untangle the wig using a broad tooth comb. Start from the ends, and comb upwards to the top.
2. Wet the hair softly with warm water and dip it in the water for about 5 minutes.
3. Dispense the shampoo evenly throughout the hair, and wash it with warm water to get clear of the shampoo.
4. Dispense the conditioner evenly throughout the hair from root to tip. If a conditioning spray is used, it should be apply from at least 10 inches away from the hair.
5. Dry the hair by a towel, or dry it by natural air.
6. Style the hair after it is dry.
If you follow these instructions, you can have well hair and look excellent. With healthy hair, you will be more confident and attractive. A man will not look good without having healthy hair, but the healthy hair cannot grow out at once. Wig can help men have attractive look. There are best quality wigs available in either artificial or human hair. Human hair wigs are trendier with both men and women. Most of wig lovers like to basis their favorites online; here is a superb site for various hairpieces, wigs and hair extensions Put a wig on properly can make sure that you feel comfortable when wearing it.
