General FAQ
I want to support SRF's work! What can I do?
Thank you for asking! We have a page dedicated to just that question here. You can also click here to donate.
How does SENS Research Foundation use its donations?
We are managed by an impartial Board of Directors, our finances are audited as a 501(c)(3) public charity, we maintain a competitive indirect rate even though we are a young charity, and we maintain a focus on the efficient use of every dollar received. Regardless of whether you can afford to give $1,000,000, $100, or $10, your contribution helps make possible:
- Intramural research at our California headquarters
- Extramural research at prestigious universities and other state-of-the-art laboratory facilities throughout the world
- Grants and summer internships for students (via our student program, SRF Education)
- Educational and informational resource development
- Conferences and special events relevant to rejuvenation biotech
For a detailed breakdown of our expenses, please see our organizational reports.
Why is it so important to support SENS Research Foundation?
In short, because all over the world, people and societies are grappling with the diseases and disabilities of aging. The amount of time, money, and energy already being poured into attempts to thwart diseases like Alzheimer's, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes is tremendous. Unfortunately, despite progress in treating the symptoms of these diseases, not a single one of them has yet been cured.
SENS Research Foundation aims to change the way the world researches and treats age-related disease. We believe it will take a charity to spark a revolution in medical research paradigms and create the initial energy for a true rejuvenation biotechnology industry to develop. We are the only non-profit currently prioritizing a regenerative medicine approach to the diseases of aging, and only with your support can we continue to push the frontiers of medicine along this critical but neglected path.
How can my support make a positive difference?
Your support will allow us to maintain existing research programs, establish new projects, publish and promote our successes, prepare the next generation of scientists through our student initiatives, improve infrastructure and access to state-of-the-art equipment, and as a result of all this permit faster achievement of useful results. Which in turn means a greater chance for better medicine to be available to more people sooner. Large donations of course make it possible to make the most dramatic and rapid improvements to our programs and infrastructure, but don't feel like you have to be a multi-millionaire for your contribution to matter. A strong grassroots support base that broadens our outreach capabilities, supplements larger donors, and helps us maintain our public charity status has always been important to our success and will continue to be going forward.
What does "SENS" stand for?
SENS is an acronym that stands for Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence. It is the formal name for the way SENS Research Foundation develops therapies for the diseases and disabilities of aging.
Negligible Senescence is a term originally coined by Dr. Caleb Finch of the University of Southern California. It refers essentially to a condition in which senescence (the progressive slide into sickness and frailty with age) is negligible -- that is, so small as to not merit consideration. He used this phrase to describe animals like the rockfish, lobster, and hydra, which simply do not seem to senesce. No matter how long these creatures are studied, they seem to have the same physical capacities. Moreover, their risk of death remains constant, rather than progressively increasing as a result of age-related pathologies – because those pathologies simply do not develop.
Humans, meanwhile, do not naturally possess "negligible senescence", and our bodies are so differently configured from those of the rockfish, lobster, and hydra that there is no feasible way to "transfer" this property between species. Our mission to develop rejuvenation biotechnologies is based on the notion that it may be possible to apply the principles of regenerative medicine to the cellular and molecular damage of aging. In short, we think it ought to be possible to engineer solutions to age-related disease that stave off pathology indefinitely – such that, like the rockfish, lobster, and hydra – we are able to get old without becoming sick or frail.
Finally, we emphasize that our approach is a strategy, not a fixed and final platform of new medicines. We work today to catalyze the development of a panel of rejuvenation biotechnologies, each of which addresses one of the known forms of aging damage. But that panel is only a provisional iteration of the damage-repair strategy, and could well change in the future in light of new information, the discovery of superior methods, etc.
The Strategies for Engineered Negligible Senescence, then, amount to a flexible way of approaching the development and continuous improvement of rejuvenation biotechnologies, to combat age-related disease and frailty however it may manifest itself now and tomorrow.
What exactly are "rejuvenation biotechnologies"?
Rejuvenation biotechnology is a new platform of biomedicines that apply the principles of regenerative medicine to the structure of the body at all levels: from organs and tissues, to cells, all the way down to the molecular structures within and surrounding them.
When applied as specific therapies, rejuvenation biotechnologies directly remove, repair, replace, or render harmless the cellular and molecular damage caused by the biological aging process. It is the accumulation of this damage that drives the progressive rise in frailty, disease, and disability that people now suffer with age. By removing, repairing, and replacing the damaged components that have accumulated in a person's tissues over time, the normal, robust structure of the tissue can be restored – and with it, health and functionality.
Mind you, a single round of treatment with rejuvenation biotechnologies will not provide a once-and-for-all fix for aging damage. The metabolic processes that cause aging damage will continue to inflict imperceptible injury to our tissues every day. This means that, like regular scheduled auto maintenance (and dental cleanings, for that matter), rejuvenation therapies will need to be periodically repeated to maintain a tissue's restored functionality. In other words, by occasionally stepping in to remove and repair the tissue again, we can keep the total burden of damage at levels low enough to prevent the development of age-related tissue dysfunction, frailty, and disease.
For some details on the foreseeable platform of rejuvenation biotechnologies whose development SENS Research Foundation is working to catalyze, see our research pages, and most specifically our introduction to SENS research. For a more in-depth account, see the book-length treatment, Ending Aging.
Medicine does not yet exist to treat aging effectively, but that does not mean that no such medicines can exist. It simply means that we have to find new ways to tackle the problem. We believe that rejuvenation biotechnologies will offer that new way.
I've seen a lot of books and articles about "slowing down the aging process". Is that what SRF is trying to do?
Not exactly. Most of the time, you will notice, when people refer to "slowing down" aging, they are suggesting a scenario in which necessary bodily processes (e.g., metabolism) are tinkered with, whether through dietary, medical, or some other means. SRF's position is that actually reversing the negative effects of aging will ultimately be far more feasible to implement than "slowing down" the rate at which damage occurs.
In other words, our approach does not seek to alter the multiple processes that cause age-related degeneration. Given our current level of understanding of these processes, and given their inherent complexity, we cannot reasonably expect to come up with therapies that safely and effectively slow those processes down.
Rather, we are working to repair the result of those processes, sidestepping the daunting complexity of the process itself. However the damage of aging is caused, the same therapies can remove that damage – and the risk of harming a tissue by removing damaged components is inherently low. We believe that this approach to problem of age-related degeneration can deliver more effective therapies more safely and more rapidly than approaches that only slow it down.
How can we afford to provide widespread access to rejuvenation biotechnologies?
The cost of widespread access to rejuvenation biotechnologies has to be compared with the existing costs of treating people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, hip fractures, and other age-related conditions. These existing costs are extremely high, and are currently on a path to accelerate dramatically as the first "baby boom" cohorts of the developed world enter their seventh decade, and are then followed by the equivalent cohorts in developing nations. As with any new medical tool, access to rejuvenation biotechnologies will indeed be expensive, but ultimately they will actually save money as compared with the default scenario of "aging as usual," particularly as rejuvenation biotechnologies mature.
Could SENS-type therapies just end up adding more years of sickness, frailty, and pain to people's lives?
No. Rejuvenation biotechnologies by definition would work by restoring healthy structure and function to the body.
Clearly, the degenerative aging process causes a great deal of suffering within the scope of the lives we live now, and clearly we are not alone in making this observation; otherwise the entire field of geriatric medicine would not exist.
Therefore, even when discussing longevity as an incidental effect of SENS-type treatments, it should go without saying that our priority, and the true triumph of rejuvenation biotech, will be that of increasing the human healthspan – i.e., the proportion of life spent feeling and functioning well, as opposed to the proportion spent struggling to endure pain, disease, dementia, and so on.
How soon might we actually see a comprehensive suite of solutions to age-related disease?
As with any research-and-development endeavor, the achievement of the end goal depends on just how fast the required biomedical technologies arrive -- which in turn depends on just how much we collectively and individually invest into advancing the underlying science.
Aren't there more immediate medical concerns, like transmissible disease in the developing world?
It is hard to imagine any mission against disease as standing alone in a complex world. These other medical concerns are important, and there is much invaluable work being done to address them. However, the diseases of aging cause real suffering around the globe today, and will do so ever more in a world that is growing older, and as the work to prevent and cure infectious disease gains traction (so that more people in developing countries survive to ages where the diseases and disabilities of aging become manifest). This is particularly the case in the timeframes that will be required to develop rejuvenation technologies.
I want to stave off aging now. What diet, lifestyle, and supplement program would you recommend?
Unfortunately, we cannot make those sorts of recommendations for the simple reason that (despite marketing claims to the contrary), no currently-available medical intervention or lifestyle choice has been shown to affect the basic human aging process. The age-related rise in frailty and illness is the end result of basic metabolic processes that aren't appreciably altered by environmental influences. While genes only account for only about 25% of your chances of reaching an age of about 75, they play a very large role in your odds of becoming a centenarian once you have already lived that long. Lifestyle and environment are major influences on mortality rate in younger people, but after about age 75 the percentage of deaths directly attributable to basic aging processes rises, while the influence of environmental factors declines.
That doesn't mean that taking care of yourself is worthless. Eating well and exercising will greatly reduce your odds of prematurely suffering from many age-associated disabilities and diseases (such as heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers). Lifestyle factors are major predictors of your odds of reaching what was once "old age" – 75 years or so – but which is now actually below the average life expectancy in advanced economies. In a sense, living a healthy lifestyle has less to do with aging and more to do with avoiding killing yourself early by treating your body badly.
The Foundation itself retains a sharp focus on its mission to advance rejuvenation biotechnologies and true damage repair. We are working to develop and ensure widespread access to these new medicines, but they don't exist right now, and it will be some time before they are available. That's one reason why we're working so hard to catalyze the application of regenerative medicine to the diseases and disabilities of aging.

First Full 'Monsters University' Trailer Has Us Ready to Enroll
Mike and Sully are heading to college in Pixar's upcoming prequel to Monsters, Inc. – and we've got a new trailer and an extended behind-the-scenes look at Monsters University to share with you this morning.
First up, we've got a brand-new trailer for the film, which shows us what life on the campus will be like for our two favorite scary monsters. Billy Crystal and John Goodman are back as Mike and Sully, and while they look a little younger this time out, they'll be instantly recognizable to anyone who loved Pixar's earlier film.
The second clip features director Dan Scanlon giving us peek behind the scenes of the film.
In that clip, the first-time feature director reveals more details about the plot, letting us know that Mike and Sully meet at college when they both enroll in the prestigious Scare Program. The two don't like each other – and that winds up getting both of them kicked from the major because they're not scary enough. Mike then comes up with the bright idea to get them readmitted by winning the campus' annual scare competition – an event that pits sororities and fraternities against each other to see who's the most terrifying. To participate, our heroes have to join a fraternity of their own – one made up of other Scare Program rejects.
Scanlon shows us lots of material from the film, which features not only returning characters we know and love, but a plethora of new monsters who live on the college campus. Basically, every social type is represented – from the jocks to the goths. The designs are excellent from what we can tell.
Have a look at the video below and see what you think. Classes at Monsters University begin on June 21.

RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS: WARNING: ALWAYS check srclib/apr/STATUS and srclib/apr-util/STATUS * Root all file systems with <Directory /> for WIN32/OS2/NW permissions Status: patch brought forward from 1.3.14 WIN32 and OS2 need review [William Rowe, Brian Harvard] * Win32: Get Apache working on Windows 95/98. The following work (at least) needs to be done: - winnt MPM: Fix 95/98 code paths in the winnt MPM. There is some NT specific code that is still not in NT only code paths - IOL binds to APR sendfile, implemented with TransmitFile, which is not available on 95/98. - Document warning that OSR2 is required (for Crypt functions, in rand.c, at least.) * Win32: Test access logging with multiple threads. Will the native file I/O calls serialize automagically like the CRT calls or do we need to add region locking each time we access the logs? Status: * Win32: Complete the revamp the service environment and relocation into the WinNT MPM. Changes ServerRoot service registry parameter into ConfigArgs for multiple service startup parameters. Problems to fix in the revamp: -k shutdown/restart are broken, signals are not being acknowledged. Close window and shutdown also seem out of sorts. OtherBill is working on this and will finish over the weekend. * We need a thread-safe resolver, at least on Unix. Status: The best known candidate would be something from BIND v9. Status: Greg asks, "why? doesn't gethostbyname_r() handle this?" * The AddInputFilter and AddOutputFilter directives do not allow the administrator to remove or reorder filters. Once a filter is added in a container, it is present in any subcontainers. It can only be added to the filter chain after any filters specified in enclosing containers. * remove the --disable-shared from the subdir config of APR(UTIL) before the final release. (in fact, it might even be nice to allow for Apache config/build against an already-installed APR(UTIL)) Note: we need to do a "make install" for APR(UTIL) so the shared libraries can be installed properly. We could also use that point to install include files (rather than have Apache know everything that needs to be installed from the sub-packages). The original impetus for doing the disable-shared was because the shared lib wasn't getting installed and a "make clean" in aprutil would make Apache fail to load. * users who want to install third-party modules into the Apache source tree (for static linking) need to have autoconf and libtool installed. This is because the module needs to have its config.m4 incorporated into ./configure, which means "buildconf" must be run. Note: This is in part because we have removed the "extra" directory. In the Apache-2.0 repository, this directory had a config.m4 file that allowed people to add external modules by specifying --with-module on the configure line. * ap_vrprintf() needs to handle more than 4K Status: Greg volunteers * mod_dir should normally redirect ALL directory requests which do not include a trailing slash on the URI. However, if a "notes" flag is set (say, via BrowserMatch), this behavior will be disabled for non-GET requests. Status: Greg volunteers MsgId: <email@example.com> MsgId: <firstname.lastname@example.com> RELEASE NON-SHOWSTOPPERS BUT WOULD BE REAL NICE TO WRAP THESE UP: * the autoconf setup should be fixed to default to using the "Apache" layout from config.layout, and each variable settable in a layout should be overridable on the command line. Plus, what we do right now just doesn't seem to fully fit into how autoconf works, eg. AC_PREFIX_DEFAULT issues. Message-ID: <email@example.com> * mod_status ExtendedStatus SS (seconds since last request) is bogus because of an uninitialized field in the scoreboard. Status: Cliff is working on this * All of our MPMs should use APR for threads/processes. This will allow us to error out if a threaded MPM is chosen on a platform that doesn't support threads. * Combine log_child and piped_log_spawn. Clean up http_log.c. Common logging API. * Document mod_file_cache. * OS/2: Make mod_status work for spmt_os2 MPM. * Win32: Win9x console window still won't play nice with the close window, logoff and shutdown scenarios. Status: OtherBill will move the patch forward from 1.3.15, once we get our other Win9x issues solved. * Win32: Add a simple hold console open patch (wait for close or the ESC key, with a nice message) if the server died a bad death (non-zero exit code) in console mode. Status: OtherBill is bringing forward same ugly hack from 1.3.13 * Platforms that do not support fork (primarily Win32 and AS/400) Architect start-up code that avoids initializing all the modules in the parent process on platforms that do not support fork. * Win32: Migrate the MPM over to use APR thread/process calls. This would eliminate some code in the Win32 branch that essentially duplicates what is in APR. * There are still a number of places in the code where we are losing error status (i.e. throwing away the error returned by a system call and replacing it with a generic error code) * Win32: Implement reliable piped logs on Windows * Mass vhosting version of suEXEC. * All DBMs suffer from confusion in support/dbmmanage (perl script) since the dbmmanage employs the first-matched dbm format. This is not necessarily the library that Apache was built with. Aught to rewrite dbmmanage upon installation to bin/ with the proper library for predictable mod_auth_db/dbm administration. * use apu_dbm in mod_auth_dbm Status: Greg +1 (low-priority volunteer) * Integrate mod_dav. Some additional items remaining: - case_preserved_filename stuff (use the new canonical name stuff?) - find a new home for ap_text(_header) - is it possible to remove the DAV: namespace stuff from util_xml? * ap_core_translate() and its use by mod_mmap_static and mod_file_cache are a bit wonky. The function should probably be exposed as a utility function (such as ap_translate_url2fs() or ap_validate_fs_url() or something). Another approach would be a new hook phase after "translate" which would allow the module to munge what the translation has decided to do. Status: Greg +1 (volunteers), Ryan +1 * Explore use of a post-config hook for the code in http_main.c which calls ap_fixup_virutal_hosts(), ap_fini_vhost_config(), and ap_sort_hooks() [to reduce the logic in main()] * read the config tree just once, and process N times (as necessary) * (possibly) use UUIDs in mod_unique_id and/or mod_usertrack * (possibly) port the bug fix for PR 6942 (segv when LoadModule is put into a VirtualHost container) to 2.0. * the LTFLAGS = -export-dynamic in the config.m4 is wrong. it is getting added multiple times during the config process. The -export-dynamic should probably move into build/special.mk (the make file used for building Apache modules). * shift stuff to mod_core.h * APR-ize resolver stuff in mod_unique_id (Jeff volunteers) * callers of ap_run_create_request() should check the return value for failure (Doug volunteers) PRs that have been suspended forever waiting for someone to put them into 'the next release': * PR#76: general missing call to "setlocale();" Status: * PR#78: mod_include Additional status for XBitHack directive Status: * PR#161: mod_dir Questionable performace of mod_dir() with negotiation Status: * PR#362: mod_proxy Mod_proxy doesn't allow change of error pages Status: * PR#370: mod_env Modified PATH environemnt variable is not passed, instead system's is used Status: * PR#440: mod_proxy Proxy doesn't deliver documents if not connected Status: * PR#534: mod_proxy proxy converts ~name to %7Ename when name starts with a dot (.)

Cook Strait champs
Next time you're crossing Cook Strait enjoying the comfort of a Bluebridge ferry, spare a thought for those brave souls who swim to the other side.
With its strong tidal currents and changeable weather, the 26km stretch of water is known as one of the world's most challenging long distance swims.
According to the oral traditions of local Maori, the first woman to swim across the strait was Hine Poupou, who made it from Kapiti Island to Dürville Island with the help of a dolphin.
In modern times, the strait was first swum by Barrie Devenport in 1962. Lynne Cox was the first woman to swim it, in 1975.
To put this incredible display of endurance in perspective, consider that 26km equates to about 1040 lengths of a 25m pool. But your local pool is kept at a balmy temperature, with little devices to keep turbulence from other lanes spoiling the smooth water of your own.
Swimming 1040 lengths of your local pool, with its comfort-controlled conditions, would be way beyond most people. When you add bitingly cold water, open ocean swells, unpredictable currents, wind, giant sea creatures and commercial shipping, the feat quickly takes on epic proportions.
The most prolific swimmer of the strait is Philip Rush, who has crossed eight times, including two double crossings. That's right – Philip has twice swum to the other side only to turn around and swim all the way back! In this YouTube interview, Philip talks about sharks circling his swimmers in the middle of the Cook Strait and how he prevents the unspeakable from happening. He speaks about how the courage of athletes meets up with the beauty and mystery of the Cook Strait dolphins who often surround and protect the human swimmers from aggressive sharks.
These days Philip chooses to cross Cook Strait in a more leisurely fashion on Bluebridge – or in a support boat alongside one of the hardy souls that travel from all over the world to swim Cook Strait under his guidance. It was a great privilege to have Philip front our very first Bluebridge television commercial back in the day.
The youngest person to swim between the North and South islands was a very plucky 11 year-old from India, Aditya Raut. The oldest was American Tom Hecker who stroked his way into the record books aged 60.
Crossing times are largely determined by the strong and unpredictable currents that churn through the strait. But even when you factor in tail winds and favourable currents, the fastest time set by Casey Glover in 1998 is draw-droppingly quick.
The 21 year-old from Lower Hutt was attempting his first crossing when he smashed 27 minutes off the record. He made landfall at Marlborough Sounds' Perano Head just 4 hours, 37 minutes and 56 seconds after diving off Wellington's west coast.
In case you're wondering, a Bluebridge ferry will get you to the other side in a breezy 3.5 hours!

New Scholarships dedicated during trustees meeting
PLAINVIEW – Wayland Baptist University's office of advancement dedicated five new endowed scholarships Thursday during the Board of Trustees meeting in Plainview.
The scholarships are given by members of the board or former members. Scholarships dedicated include the Brian Family Endowed Scholarship, the Marshall and Sharleen Formby Endowed Missions Scholarship, the Harvey and Sharleen Rhoads Endowed Scholarship, the James B. and Yvonne J. Franklin Endowed Scholarship and the T.C. and Peggy Wall Endowed Scholarship.
Established by Col. Elton "Speck" and Kay Callaway Brian and Bobbie Helen Brian Dyer and Rand Dyer in memory of Bobbie and Speck's parents, Dr. Alfred A. Brian, Sr. and Ora Lee Dopson Brian, and their brother, Alfred A. Brian Jr., the Brian Family Scholarship also honors the preacher brothers of Dr. Brian, all of whom attended Wayland: Walter, William "Ted," D.D. "Doc," and Sam. Two deceased cousins, J.D. Brian, a 1942 graduate, and Cherrydel Brian, a 1968 graduate, are also remembered by the fund.
Speck was a 1961 graduate and worked at the Lubbock Campus for several years. Dr. Brian served on the Wayland board for several years and received the first Doctor of Divinity degree conferred by Wayland in 1950. The Brian brothers pastored several Baptist churches on the South Plains and around Texas, New Mexico and California.
The Formbys were married in 1946 in Alabama. Marshall earned a master's degree in journalism from the University of Texas and once owned and operated newspapers and radio stations. He was also a regent at Texas Tech, a county judge, a state senator and an attorney, a partner in the LaFont, Tunnell, Formby and Hamilton Law Firm in Plainview.
Sharleen has a bachelor of arts degree in English and did graduate work at the University of Texas. She also worked at the Army War College and the Pentagon, and served on the board at Wayland for ten years. She continued Marshall's businesses after his death in 1984 and still runs the family farms. She is director and part owner of Citizens National Bank in Crosbyton.
The Formby scholarship is designated to help students planning to pursue missions.
The Rhoads were married in 1990. An active member of First Baptist Church in Midland, Harvey served in the Navy and worked in the oil business and in the life insurance field. He was one of three charter members of the Midland West Rotary Club and was president of the Midland Heart Association, earning the National Golden Heart Award. He died in November 2002.
Terry Rhoads of Midland, Harvey's first cousin, serves on the Wayland board currently. The scholarship is designated to help students with financial need pursue an education.
Longtime Amarillo residents, the Franklins have been benevolent to Wayland for many years, and Yvonne served on the Wayland board for 12 years. They are involved in many community, area and statewide projects and wanted to establish a scholarship to benefit students who desire education in a Christian environment but need financial assistance.
Residents of Plainview since 1969, the Walls own and operate High Plains Concrete. The couple has long supported Wayland, and Peggy serves on the Wayland board of trustees. T.C. is a graduate of Dora (N.M.) High School and served in the U.S. Army. Peggy graduated from Temple (Okla.) High School. The couple has four children: Clinton, Bert, Donna and Kathy.
The scholarship was established to assist young people desiring higher education at Wayland and out of a respect for the university's role in the Plainview community.
Endowed scholarships represent a minimum of $25,000 in donations – given over a period of time or in a lump sum – which are then invested with the Baptist Foundation of Texas. Interest from the accounts is pulled each year to create scholarships for students, with the endowment creating a lasting legacy.
For more information on endowments, contact Martha Cross, director of development, at (806) 291-3427.

1. The U.S. stock market outperforms most other markets, as the U.S. economy improves.
Enough said.
2. The laggards of 2010 outperform the overall market in 2011.
Banks, for one, benefit as legislation risk abates. The group has notably underperformed in the past three years and we may be nearing the end rather than the beginning of Eurozone financial regulation and general turmoil. Defense stocks are another leader as an ongoing need for combat vehicles and planes for global conflicts reduces the defense budget less than anticipated.
3. Mexican stocks hit a record high.
The Mexico City bolsa rallies again to historic highs as the U.S. sends military aid and covert military personnel to Mexico to fight the drug lords; Pemex shuts gas fields due to security concerns.
4. Gold declines but other commodities gain.
The gold bubble finally bursts, with gold stocks falling 20 percent, but other commodities and commodity stocks continue to outperform as global demand for copper and other base metals improves.
5. The U.S. bond market drops.
The Fed's current QE2 and anticipated QE3 are largely ineffective as bond vigilantes force rates up in the Fed's face due to inflation worries and better U.S. economic growth. Three years of inflows into bond funds reverses.
Municipal bonds come under pressure as a half-dozen local governments default on their general obligation bonds. Though tax flows are improving, federal, state and municipal spending cuts will pressure governments even more in 2011 than 2010

The news last week that the company making Twinkies, Ding Dongs and Wonder Bread was preparing to liquidate touched off the usual Baby Boomer hand-wringing over the potential loss of something from childhood that most probably hadn�t thought much about in decades.
Then it turned into much ado about very little � at least not yet.
Hostess Brands Inc. and the Bakery, Confectionery, Tobacco Workers and Grain Millers International Union � two factions at odds since a strike that started on Nov. 9 � agreed to try and reach some kind of agreement. They did so after a bankruptcy court judge informed the parties that they hadn�t entered into mediation yet. In effect, the two sides jumped a step in the process.
�Many people, myself included, have serious questions as to the logic behind this strike,� said Judge Robert Drain, who heard the case in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York in White Plains, N.Y. �Not to have gone through that step leaves a huge question mark in this case.�
At issue is the union�s refusal to swallow additional wage and benefit concessions to keep the bankrupt Hostess Brands afloat. Its 5,000 members were nearly unanimous in rejecting the company�s final contract offer. Other unions have agreed to the concessions.
Irving, Texas-based Hostess countered by saying it would shut down, meaning that most of the 18,500 Hostess employees would lose their jobs, potentially 13 of those here in Alamance County. Hostess is not only the maker of Wonder bread and Twinkies but also Merita products and the well-known Drake�s cake products in New York.
Its reasons for shutting down shouldn�t be a surprise. High commodity costs hurt the company. Not only did it pay a fortune for food ingredients, but also for the energy to run its facilities and fuel its delivery trucks. The recession hurt too. Hostess was unprepared to meet difficult business conditions that prevailed in 2009, when it emerged from a previous bankruptcy reorganization in which it obtained big concessions from its workforce. It had been, in fact, a poorly managed company for a long time. A string of short-sighted executives were quick to take money out of the business and slow to make the capital investments it needed to stay competitive.
Perhaps most damaging, the company failed to innovate in response to changing consumer tastes and the need many Americans feel to eat healthier foods. Hostess didn�t have to make Ho Ho�s out of tofu to stay relevant. Food companies such as Kraft, Sara Lee and Nabisco have long understood their success depends on sophisticated market research, product development and creative marketing. It doesn�t come cheap.
For Hostess, the strike was the final blow.
The two sides met on Tuesday and if an agreement can�t be reached, then the liquidation hearing would resume today.
But we contend that even if Hostess does shut down, there are willing buyers prepared to keep the production line of Twinkies moving and into the hands of hungry American consumers. According to the Associated Press, even in decline the company still does about $2.5 billion in business each year. Twinkies alone have earned $68 million in 2012.
And besides, there�s always Little Debbie.

A Tribute
by Wendolyn Bouie
Thank you so much for contacting us! Our team will respond within 24 hours.
What does it mean to sponsor a veteran's wreath? It means you'll honor an American hero at one of more than 1,600 locations nationwide this year on Wreaths Across America Day. It's a day that's been set aside to lay wreaths at the places where we remember, honor and teach about our veterans.
We can't do that without your support, though. Your sponsorship will ensure that a wreath is hand-crafted of all-American balsam and hand-tied with a red velvet bow here in Columbia Falls, Maine. It will then be sent to one of our participating locations, where a volunteer will place it on the marker of a fallen hero. That volunteer will then "say their name" to ensure that the legacy of duty, service, and sacrifice of that veteran is never forgotten.
So, what does it mean to sponsor a wreath? It means you have the opportunity to join a grateful nation in saying "thank you" to our veterans.
- More Options -
Monthly Sponsorship
Honor and remember always by automatically sponsoring a wreath or wreaths each month.
In Honor and Memory Of
Sponsor wreaths in honor of living veterans and in memory of those that have passed. Optionally include email or mailed gift cards.

DEAR DOCTOR K: Today at the playground my toddler bit another child. How can I make sure she doesn't do this again?
DEAR READER: Lots of toddlers between 1 and 3 years go through biting and/or hitting stages. Children at these ages cannot yet express in words their feelings, so they may bite or hit parents, children or caregivers to get attention or to express frustration. These young children also may bite just to see what kind of reaction it provokes.
Toddlers will try any behavior to achieve a goal — until they learn that the behavior is unacceptable. If we didn't know it was unacceptable, we adults would probably revert to behaving like toddlers. (In fact, no surprise, we sometimes do.) And kids who know a behavior is unacceptable still will do it when the conditions are right.
A friend's 5-year-old daughter was alone in the living room bouncing a ball. The ball knocked over a vase. When her mother heard the crash, she came into the room, saw what had happened and said to her daughter: "You know you're not supposed to bounce a ball inside the house! Why did you do that?" Her daughter replied, "'Cause you weren't looking, Mom."
Back to the biting: The reasons for this aggressive behavior may be understandable, but the behavior itself is never acceptable. Biting and hitting hurt, and children need to learn more appropriate ways to express themselves.
My pediatrician colleagues here at Harvard Medical School tell me that when your child bites or hits, it is very important to make a swift, direct response. Tell your daughter what she should not do, why she should not do it, and what the consequences will be if she does it again. State firmly and immediately: "No! Do not bite! Biting hurts! If you do it again, no TV for you tonight!" Keep your words simple and short. Children this age don't have the attention span or developmental ability to understand long explanations.
After responding to your child's misbehavior, try to figure out why she acted this way. If she is biting or hitting to get attention, discourage this behavior by making extra efforts to praise her when she behaves appropriately. If your child has kicked or bitten another child, pay special attention to the victim. Your child will learn that by misbehaving, her attempts to get your attention have backfired.
If she is biting to relieve teething pain, offer her something soft to chew on. If she is frustrated or angry, remove her from the situation. If she has started to talk, suggest words that she can use to express her feelings. If she is overstimulated, over-tired or hungry, address the specific need and try to anticipate it in the future.
If aggressive behaviors are properly addressed as soon as they occur, most children learn quickly that this kind of behavior is unacceptable and stop. If your child is older than 3 years and is still hitting and/or biting, your pediatrician may recommend that she see a child psychiatrist.

Hi Jesus,
Am I pissed off or what?
You know who I'm mad at?
Well, America. Pretty much ALL of America.
I'm tired of living amongst a wishy-washy populace, who can vote one year for sweeping change, and then pretty much vote to fund none of it two years later. People who swallow the lie that their taxes have gone up, when in fact they've gone down. People who are misinformed, incurious, hateful and racist.
I'm tired of the tea party, which I pretty much believe to be a sham. A complete sham. Masquerading as a populist movement, when they throw their entire support to a party that's just as much about big government as the other: it's just a big government with different priorities, and you can bet your butt I don't think their priorities are sound. Not one bit.
My husband told me yesterday that he heard BP is already turning a profit. Only here can a corporation responsible for the death of millions of creatures and miles and miles and miles of coastlines, not to mention entire industries and livelihoods, turn the page that quickly.
I understand that people are hurting. I understand that people want change quicker than it's being dispensed. But turning to the party that actually sought to block the continuation of unemployment benefits? That's the answer? A party that calls not allowing insurance companies to deny people coverage because they're ill socialism?
Once I saw someone driving a truck that had two bumper stickers on it. One read I'm pro-life and I vote. The other said Why should I pay for your health insurance?
And it's a sight I will carry with me, pretty much FOREVER. Because in it lies the juxtaposition that so many people seem to carry as a philosophy, and it tears at my heart. I say to that guy in the pick-up truck, 'You can't be both.' You can't place yourself into a tent that's labeled pro-life (pro-life!) if you have no interest in seeing any of your tax dollars go to keep a mother who gives birth to her child insured, able to go to prenatal appointments so her baby is healthy, and able to give birth and then bring her child in for well visits.
Ah, whatever. I can pretty much tell you he doesn't give a shit. And he's probably more than a little bit misogynistic.
I'm feeling crummy today, Jesus. I'm not so certain that the Democrats walk your path either, so don't mistake my grumblings for that kind of pride.
I ask you to help turn my general bitchiness, anger and sadness into something constructive. Help me to do your work, whether or not I feel our government is helping or hindering. Help me to show compassion for all, even those with whom I disagree virulently. Help me to not want to throw rotten tomatoes at John Boehner's head. The same goes for Mitch McConnell, Eric Cantor, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin.
With love,
Thursday, November 4, 2010

zhaos mate seems quite erudite. it would be nice if he turned up here. zhao invited him but i guess he considered it to be beneath him which is fair enough. oliver craner says he has read capital.
which has a lot to do with this new book by Jameson:
Marx himself was always quite excited about new discoveries -- things like chemical fertilizers (which don't seem so good today, but led to a green revolution in their time), undersea cable, and other discoveries of the day. It is very clear that he thought of socialism as more advanced technologically and in every other way. Raymond Williams wrote about how people think that socialism is a nostalgic return to a simpler society. Williams challenged that saying socialism won't be simpler, it will be much more complicated.
There is a tendency among the Left today -- and I mean all varieties of the Left -- of being reduced to protecting things. It is a kind of conservatism; saving all the things that capitalism destroys which range from nature to communities, cities, culture and so on. The Left is placed in a very self-defeating nostalgic position, just trying to slow down the movement of history. There is a line by Walter Benjamin that epitomizes that -- though I don't know how he thought of that himself -- revolutions are "pulling the emergency cord," stopping the onrush of the train. I don't think Marx thought about it like that at all. It seems to me that Marx thought that productivity would increase by getting rid of capitalism. On the level of organization, technology and production, Marx did not want a return to handicraft labour, but to go on into all kinds of complex forms of automation and computerization [as it would emerge].
The historical accident of something like socialism or communism taking place in a place what was essentially a third world country, Russia, an underdeveloped country, that has made us think of socialism in a way that was not Marx's way of imagining it. The socialist movement has to itself be inspired by this other type of vision.

@zhao - a couple points for in response to SOS (+ yes I did read through everything posted). i can't see the debate on your facebook so if you could add these I would appreciate it. I am curious to see SOS's answers.
I'm certainly not as well versed in basic economic texts (or Marx generally) so I'm not going to argue on those grounds. however, I take issue w/what s/he calls "really-existing alternatives", about which I know a bit.
I happen to have taken an interest in Kerala b/c I went to school with a lot of people from there. its economy is hugely dependent - more than a fifth of its gdp - on remittances from emigrants working mostly in the Persian Gulf (i.e. oil) or to a lesser extent the States. another big chunk comes from tourism. Kerala's "alternative" is actually heavily reliant on capitalism.
Mondragon - to be a real alternative worker cooperatives would have to be implemented on a much, much larger scale than the 80k-odd people it employs. which has never been successfully accomplished anywhere, so far as I know. (the Spanish anarchists on the eve of the Civil War came closest + even that was not very close at all)
the Diggers, workers' councils (the soviets, Hungary 56, Paris 68, etc), the CNT-FAI and all other "historical examples too numerous to mention" have one thing in common - they all failed, if you define success as a viable, lasting alternative (tho in the 1st place none of them existed on a scale large enough to be a real threat anyway). capitalism's greatest ability is its ability to perpetuate itself. every challenge is/will be crushed, neutered or recuperated or etc. will only end with the exhaustion of the finite resources it runs on (which is already happening, bit by agonizing bit). I challenge SOS - or anyone - to provide any compelling reason to think otherwise.
[standard disclaimer that there's no primitivist call here for return to h-g]
I think - tho I might be wrong - by "counterfactual" vimothy means example of a large scale functional system besides (+ possibly why it is better than) capitalism

one other thing loosely related to the topic:
The Subversion of Politics by George Katsiaficas is a good book (+ one of the only ones I know of) about the anti-movement of the Autonomen - a recent example of autonomous resistance to capitalism and forerunners of the modern protest style of black bloc etc - its successes + failures. this should particularly interest you Zhao since the Autonomen were German (similar non-movements existed in Italy i.e Autonomia, and Holland - there is another great book about the Dutch squatting scene called Cracking the Movement) and it must still resonate now, especially in Berlin (Kreuzberg was one of their strongholds I believe; the Hafenstrasse in Hamburg was another) even with the sharp decline from its 80s peak.
also, inspired by this thread I've finally gotten around to starting Capital.
well one thing i was hoping for was other people to start reading at the same time as me so im pleased to hear that padraig.
Doin' the Lambeth Warp New: DISSENSUS - THE NOVEL - PM me your email address and I'll add you
thought this was interesting re the crises of capitalism.
"Motivation: just as many Soviet workers rightly hated to work under their inefficient bureaucratic state capitalist regime, most of us in liberal capitalist societies hate to go to work at places usually under the control of a corporation that is run on essentially totalitarian principle -- I don't see how this speaks well to the motivational nature of capitalism. Plus there's a strange ideological assumption here -- that motivation toward economic development/efficiency should be an unquestionable good above all others. What if you want to live your life according to a different mode of motivation, such as the spiritual discipline of a monk or the creative expression of an artist or the moral economy of a peasant? One of capitalism's major defects is that it destroys all these various forms of human motivation under the servile dictum of "work or die". A pretty impoverished, to say nothing of repressive, form of motivation if you ask me."
I really liked this part of your FB discussion, Zhao. Unfettered capitalism is a system masquerading as a purely economic one whereas it is intensely political (it's not a game that started from a tabula rasa/amnesty upon resources), and it also has nothing to say on what it is to be human, or what is valuable about humanity/existence. Taken on its own, it is a system for robots, not humans. Although obviously it can be used as just one part of a more enlightened and holistic system.
Not even to go into the point that everyone intervenes in the market, just that right-wingers do so solely for their own benefit.
or the psychological consequences of capitalism.

What I mean is, capitalism is "not the best system for X"--compared to what?
There is an implicit counterfactual conditional buried in this claim. Why not make it explicit? Then, if it is defensible, defend it.
EDIT: Or don't, of course--it was just a passing thought whilst reading the comments zhao posted.

Let's assume arguendo that we are on the verge of some kind of ecoological catastrophe.
What we want to know is: is it the case that this catastrophe was caused by capitalism?
In order to figure that out we need at least the following two things:
- A sensible and restrictive definition of capitalism;
- Some knowledge of what controls we need to hold constant to get a picture of the "ceteris paribus" effect of capitalism.
(1) is clearly absent from the above quote and elsewhere your friend is basically question begging in regards to what constitutes capitalism.
(2) doesn't seem to have been considered either, which is unfortunate since we are surely up to our eyeballs in selection bias.
Say that you can divide up the causes of the catastrophe into "capitalism" and "other stuff". What are the relative proportions? It seems to me that some degree of pollution is a natural consequence of a popuation of seven billion people. It's not hard to think of other factors that might contribute.
I'm no expert on these things, of course, so perhaps I'm just talking out of my ass here. But it all seems incredibly vague.
I mean, if we we transitioned some other system, and the catastrophe was averted, where would the gains have been made? Increased economic efficiency? Lower standards of living? Etc? Etc?

^getting the feeling this forum is just the wrong place for me but will take a crack at your argument vim
population of 7 billion+ driven by advances in medicine + agricultural/industrial revolution which itself powered emergence of capitalist economy. very difficult to conclusively prove deleterious effects of human activity on environment (tho they seem highly likely) but we're positing that as generally true either way. you ask how we can allot blame. 1) what is this "other stuff" + how is it separate from "capitalism"? I would argue such a separation is impossible 2) a real "ceteris paribus" (i.e. outside of abstract modeling) measurement is impossible b/c there's no way to determine the controls.
facilitation is a more useful approach than causation. individuals or businesses do things that cause environmental damage (or human suffering or etc). those are not unique to capitalism but its guiding principle, self-interest, leads inevitably to favoring profit over all. there's no incentive to do otherwise beyond altruism, which is notoriously unreliable. as far as the trade-off, yeah it'd be lower standard of living in developed countries. least that's the only one I can see and it probably still wouldn't be sufficient. nor is it remotely likely to happen any time soon, at least not by choice.
I have a horrible feeling that Vimothy will destroy everybody on this thread with graphs and pie charts and links to academic papers, and then turn around and say, "actually, I haven't read Capital."
Although that would be funny.
I only read it because my undergraduate tutors insisted. I was studying literature, and hadn't even read the complete works of Shakespeare and Dickens but still got a First for it. An indictment of Humanities Higher Ed., that.
By the way, has anyone read the main essay in this month's Standpoint? I did today. I thought: if Jenks reads this, he'll have an aneurysm. Or he'll have to cycle up a hill like Lance Armstrong to get it out of his system.
I think the Engels essay on the family unit is stunning, and an equal to this book, for what it's worth, as is Marx's Theses On Feuerbach.
im not sure it helps to use loads of latin when there are standard english equivelents. i mean it does help in the sense that it has an intimidatory effect, but i dont think it helps us to communicate. im not even sure we need a definition of capitalism as in this particular pub debate capitalism is taken to mean 'the way we live now' it may be, if we can develop our arguments more as time goes on, we will need a more precise definition. at present, at this embryonic, half-arsed stage, we dont.
Yeah, buck your ideas up, you Deleuzian losers.
so at the moment we are going to take various positions on the way we have organised society at present. some of us will say, i think its pretty good, look at the alternatives, others will say, nah i dont like it, lots of people suffer and we're all going to hell in a handbasket.

About Deep South Dish
Please also keep in mind that these are my recipes, done to my taste and while I am thrilled to share them with you, if you are looking to duplicate exactly a recipe that matches a memory of one of your grandma's recipes, my recipe may not be the same as your grandma's recipe was. I am always after younger folks to sit at the hand of their grandmas and watch them cook, writing down everything, so that they can carry on all of the food traditions and flavors to their own children.
If you don't happen to like a recipe, or a certain ingredient in a recipe, or the way a recipe "looks" in the photograph, PLEASE feel free to skip that recipe for pete's sake. Without leaving your "opinion." Just mind your manners is all I'm asking. If you wouldn't walk into somebody's kitchen and say that to their face - well, just don't say it online either.
About serving size. I have tried to estimate serving sizes on some recipes, but it's just that. A guess. Generally speaking, I do not try to calculate that since I am only a home cook, not a test kitchen, and for the most part, I offer my time here for free! I have no intention of deconstructing a cooked recipe to see how many 1/2 cup servings there are in it. Appetites vary among people and I have found you can't please everyone - someone will always disagree with my estimate. Generally speaking you'll find my recipes are designed for a family, and unless otherwise noted, will feed somewhere between 4 to 6 people, but again, that is only a guess and depends on appetites. You can look at the ingredients in most recipes and tell generally how many people it will feed, but I think it'd be safe to say that if you're a party of 2, you'll probably want to cut most recipes in half, unless you don't mind leftovers.
Something else I should note is that while this site (and the Facebook Fan Page at http://www.facebook.com/SouthernRecipes - where I post links) does focus on many "traditional southern classic" recipes - so you'll see recipes for things like Skillet Cornbread, Fried Chicken, Red Beans & Rice, Squash Casserole, Chicken Pot Pie, Sweet Potato Pie, Banana Pudding and Pecan Pie, and of course, Southern Iced Tea, as well as our own Gulf Coast favorites - like Fried Catfish, Boiled Shrimp, Fried Shrimp, Po'boys, and Gumbo, we in The Deep South eat just like everybody else around the country - like everybody else, we eat a variety of foods too!
We are also very lucky to have a wide range of cultural influences here along the Gulf Coast, so alongside those wonderful southern favorites, you'll also find things like Pork Schnitzel, Cajun and Creole Recipes, Classic 70s 7-Layer Dip, and other appetizers, party foods and football food like Angels and Devils on Horseback, Loaded Potato Skins, my deconstructed Jalapeno Popper Dip, and my version of a Spicy Crockpot Italian Beef for Sandwiches. You'll find good old stand-by recipes like Ground Beef Casseroles and Goulash, lots of Wing recipes (because I love them), some Ribs and other Cookout Foods, and even some Asian dishes like Chap Chae Korean Noodles, Step by Step Pork Fried Rice, and Classic Stir Fry. There's a few Mexican and Tex Mex recipes, like some pretty darned good Beef and Bean Burritos, an Authentic Mexican Shredded Beef for Tacos, and Ropa Vieja, a Latin style beef. There are even recipes for making a crispy homemade pizza and how to make your own Greek yogurt at home!
Besides "classic southern recipes," these are the foods we eat Down South.
Bottom line. I am first southern, and second a food blogger, so if I cook it, I'm gonna post it - whether it's "traditional southern" or not, and hopefully you will enjoy seeing that variety of recipes outside of the classic southern recipes.
Yes, a lot of the dishes I make are full fat. And made with sugar. But, you can make changes like substituting artificial sweeteners and you can lower the fat in most recipes by using lower fat substitutes. And, there are even a few lower fat recipes here too.
Yes, I sometimes un-apologetically and proudly use products like Velvetta or condensed soups, or convenience products, and I am fully endeared to lil smokies sausages and meatballs done up in the classic chili sauce grape jelly way for parties. I use homemade whipped cream but I use Cool Whip too. I cook from scratch and I use shortcuts. I have an affinity toward certain name brand products, like White Lily flour, Land O'Lakes butter, Crisco shortening and Slap Ya Mama Cajun seasoning, but I also use many generics. Walmart Great Value products are my friends! This is true southern cooking and I make no apologies for it.
I sure hope that covers all of those nay-sayers out there. One thing that I have discovered is that putting yourself out on the internet and opening up your kitchen to the world, also opens you up to a level of "anonymous" rudeness that would likely not happen if that person were actually visiting in your home kitchen. I've seen it in young people and in older folks too - some even older than me! Folks just seem to be losing their people skills and politeness has flown out the window while people seem to have no problem saying just about whatever is on their mind with little restraint- no matter how rude or uncalled for - when they are saying it on a keyboard instead of face to face in person. Sad.
I should mention that any comments - here and on the Facebook Fan Page - that are rude, snarky, unduly negative or otherwise uncalled for, add nothing positive or do not otherwise contributed to the conversation will be deleted.
I repeat. If you don't happen to like a recipe, or a certain ingredient in a recipe, or the way a recipe "looks," feel free to skip it for pete's sake. Without leaving your "opinion." Just mind your manners is all I'm asking.
Anyway, on to my "skills" in the kitchen...
I wasn't one of the fortunate southern cooks that learned right at the elbow of my Mama or my Grandma in the academy of the kitchen, though they were certainly both mighty fine cooks indeed and I certainly made my observations. My mother's role was very traditional and back then, there weren't any fancy names for it. She was simply put, a housewife.
Her purpose was to bear children and to manage a household, while my father controlled the money and every other aspect of the marriage. Mama did it all, and, except for the occasional chore she might hand off to one of us kids, she did not care to have others get in her way, especially when it came time to cook.
I understand that in a way because I too am like that.
Having raised only one son in the traditional way of what I'd learned, and no daughters, I too did it all and even today, I am quick to turn down offers for help in the kitchen. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I have my ways of doing things. I always enjoyed the solitude of my kitchen and I am quick to run my husband out of it if he ventures in while I'm in the midst of creating. I do not want anyone or anything to interfere with my thought processes or my rhythm - like an artist. Not to say that this is right or wrong; it just is. Back when I was raising my son, those traditional roles still existed pretty strongly, even when women went to work. Had I had a daughter, things might have been different in the kitchen, I don't know. Now that I have grandchildren, once they are a little older and able to venture safely into the kitchen with me, I suspect it will definitely change!
I became a bride at the age of 19. By 23 I had my son. That was my university.
I had a propensity from a very young age to observe, to research, investigate and experiment, and this is how I learned to cook. I took what I saw my Mama and my Grandma do, those careful observations, and combined them with book knowledge, practice and failures. This is how I learned to recreate the flavors that came out of their kitchens and how I learned to develop a lot of my own original recipes{which is why I get highly irritated when other bloggers take my recipes and post them on their blogs without giving credit to my site}. What you see here is the result of many years of trial and error, and an ever-evolving learning process that continues even today and will continue until the good Lord calls me home.
These recipes are my heart and soul, and I hope that you get as much pleasure from cooking them for your family, as I have for mine!

Thanks Misty!ReplyDelete
I just found this site Wednesday while looking for some of my childhood Southern favorities. While I thought I was rid of fat Southern cooking forever, the older I get and the longer away from the South - the more I yearn for foods I grew up on. I especially loved the Bar-B-Q of West TN, chess pie, chicken and dumpling, green with ham hock and many many more. I will be on this site a lot.ReplyDelete

Hello! Not sure how I found my way to your blog, but I'm glad I did.

Hi Debbie, I'm over from Dave's post. I love both recipes for coo-bee-yawn', cher, but mine is similar to yours. Your blog and recipes are fabulous!ReplyDelete
Dear MaryReplyDelete
I just found your blog. I was looking for old fashioned chicken and noodles like my grandmother made. Actually, I already make a pretty good batch! I can't duplicate hers because she went out and grabbed an old hen. Got it ready for the pot, etc. I remember as a little girl watching her get a chicken ready. She pulled out a bunch of egg yolks of various sizes and one whole egg the hen hadn't laid yet. She would add those egg yolks to her broth before serving. It was the richest, yellow broth with fresh egg noodles and those little egg yolks floating in it---Oh my!
Barbara that sounds heavenly, though I don't know how they butchered and plucked those chickens!! I can only imagine how fresh that was though. Thanks for stopping by and hope you enjoy the site.ReplyDelete
I have to say, your recipes are wonderful. I've been looking for soe good southern recipes to learn how to cook this way and I hit jackpot. I think it's so lovely that you blog about what you love to do. The Homemade Southern Banana Pudding is the first recipe I made, and I will no doubt make more from your kitchen.ReplyDelete

Game On at the Science Museum
Videogames exhibition wows the crowds
The Science Museum's Game On videogame exhibition opened last week in a blaze of national press publicity, proclaiming a new respect for the medium.
We reckon videogames have been pretty well accepted as part of mainstream adult culture since Sony bulldozed its way into the market with the first Playstation though.
What Game On does best is put the industry's first 20 years in the spotlight, providing the chance to recall more innocent days when men were spaceships and women were Ms Pacman.
The day The Register attended, the exhibition was packed with families whose children seemed decidedly non-plussed by the rudimentary graphics on display. Although we did hear one thirtysomething Chelsea mummy snap "Get off it Jonny, it's Mummy's turn now", we thought we'd wait until a nation of squealing infants were safely cloistered in their schools before recommending it to Register readers.
The exhibition is by no means comprehensive. There's no Defender, no Elite, and no Mario Kart. Not a single Megadrive classic was represented either. Game On has been touring since 2002 though, so these omissions don't seem to bother most.
What's there is well chosen and well put together. We didn't know escaping ghosts in Pacman could be such a terrifyingly cinematic experience until we played it projected 10-foot-wide on a wall. Mercifully, the show is light on tedious quasi-academic expositions of the cultural significance of Puzzle Bobble - the kind of puff beloved of cinema exhibits - and crammed with playable machines. There's three rooms of machines preloaded with too many classics to list here.
There'll be a series of video game luminaries giving talks at the museum's Dana Centre during the course of the Science Museum run, until February next year. The exhibition website is here.
Entry will set you back £8.50 per adult. Let us know what you think if you make it down to South Kensington. ®

text: With the 17th pick in this months NBA draft, it's been widely rumored that the Knicks are in love with BYU scoring phenomenon and Glens Falls native Jimmer Fredette. There's no question that he's a lights out shooter but is he the right fit for the Knicks? I do not believe so. With 1 draft selection (17 in the first round) in this years draft and 0 selections in next years draft, I believe the Knicks need to hit a grand slam with this pick. With Miami in their way in the eastern conference, the Knicks do not have time to wait around for a project guard who may be better suited as a 2 guard. If we had no holes and were picking based on best available talent then I could accept a Fredette selection at number 17 but that is not the situation we are in. The Knicks lack serious bench depth, a backup point guard and a defensive minded center. While Fredette could help add to our bench, I believe he's better suited as a 2 guard as he's not a great passer. While typically Mike D'Antoni's "seven seconds or less offense" would fit nicely with Fredette's style of play, the Knicks offense right now is in transition to a slower pace with isolation monsters Carmelo Anthony and Amare Stoudemire and veteran point guard Chauncey Billups. Our point guard needs to be able to play off the ball and create shots when open from all spots on the court. While Fredette has the ability to make shots, we all know he has a great jumper, I am not sure how he will adjust to a change where he's at best the 4th option. He's not going to have any games like at BYU where he took 30 shots. He will be a 5-12 shot a game guy and he needs to be able to efficiently score. He was a volume scorer at BYU and obviously he's not going to have the same freedoms in New York. My main problem with Jimmer is that if his offense doesn't pan out, he has no defensive game to fall back on. He was an atrocious defender at BYU and that was with a lot of zone defense being played. He has reportedly been working hard to improve his defense in the offseason but you never know how much one can improve with one offseason. With the current roster that we have, I do not believe we need another high volume scorer who's deficient on defense. While Jimmer has a lot of potential and could pay miraculous dividends, he also comes with a lot of bust potential. It's not that I do not believe Jimmer can be a good player but with the roster and cap situation that we currently have, we just don't have the time to wait on him to see if he'll pan out. We need a player that can start impacting games from game 1. There's no doubting while there is optimism in New York there is also a great amount of desperation. We have not won a playoff game since 2000 and the fans want results. We cannot afford to swing and miss with this draft pick and if we miss with Fredette, his lack of defensive effectiveness could be catastrophic to the team.Follow @tarmosino
