Crackdown was the very definition of a sandbox action game. It gave players the ability to quite literally leap from building to building, throw cars like they were baseballs, and basically just go nuts on the city. With all that destructive freedom at a player's fingertips, it would seem like a tough game to follow up on because, really, where do you go when a player is already the most powerful force in the city? Well, if you're developer Ruffian Games, you make it so that's no longer the case.
Here at Tokyo Game Show 2009, a few members from Ruffian Games led a demo to highlight some of the new features in Crackdown 2. Chief among these features is a new day/night dynamic to the city designed to add more of a challenge to the player's powers and hopefully make things a lot more fun as a result. The story takes its cue from the end of the original game when players--as members of a federal crime-busting task force--unknowingly unleashed a virus onto the city just as it seemed everything was going to be wrapped up nicely. That virus has created a race of mutated zombies Ruffian has dubbed the "freaks," and they make up a new class of enemy that comes out at night to challenge you in ways Crackdown's gangsters and criminals never could.
What sets the freaks apart from normal enemies is that they come at you in droves, which Ruffian calls the "Freak Breach," creating a miniature riot zone around the players. While the original game had plenty of non-player character pedestrians, they were meant to be protected because you were ostensibly a member of the police looking to keep order in the city. Now, though, these freaks can be mowed down in droves without the slightest pang of remorse. What's more, they're able to follow you up and down buildings, thanks to those powers of mutation, so there's not really anywhere you can run off and hide during the game's night cycle.
The onset of freaks has resulted in a city that looks much more beat-up and run-down than the original because even during the day when all you see is normal human beings, it's clear these people's lives have been adversely affected by the new plague that's hit the city. We were shown a fly-through view of the ironically titled "Hope Springs" neighborhood of the city. This new area was actually quite miserable in its rusty signs and citizens gathered around flaming barrels. Ruffian then showed an area from the first game, the Observatory, which time had clearly not been friendly to as it lay mostly in ruins.
After explaining some of the changes to the city and its denizens, Ruffian then took to showing some of the new weapons. The team members want more potential for everyday found objects to be picked up and used as weapons, so one example they showed was a piece of rebar with a few giant chunks of cement on it that was able to carve through giant chunks of freaks. They also showed the UV shotgun, which fires energy blasts that can propel enemies backward in huge numbers.
But the real star of the show was the new MAG grenade, which is a sticky remote-detonated grenade that has the ability to tether objects together with a beam of electricity. You can throw one on a car, then another on a building, and watch as the car flings toward that building and dangles from it, which you can then detonate remotely. But for real fun, you can chain together even more objects to create an explosive chain of cars, people, buildings, or whatever you might find in the world. Ruffian even showed how you can tether a gas canister to the ground, shoot off the cap, and watch it fly around like a self-propelled rocket going in circles. It was quite a sight.
Now take that sort of freeform chaos and imagine the entire game done in four-player co-op, with players able to work as harmoniously or as discordantly as they choose. That's the sort of experience Ruffian is aiming to provide in Crackdown 2, which it claims is "fundamentally a four-player game." Ruffian is banking on that freedom of player interaction providing the real thrust to propel the experience forward. Because like the first game, the narrative will be less of a traditional story with a beginning, middle, and end and more of a series of open missions that you can take on however you like. Thankfully, Ruffian also recognizes that the stat-building orbs scattered throughout the city were a great incentive to keep players from getting too distracted and throwing cars at pedestrians, so it has added even more orbs into the world to help add a sense of accomplishment when you've built up your character's various attributes.
After the campaign demo ended, we were given the opportunity to get a brief hands-on taste of the 16-player competitive Deathmatch mode. This feature is more or less exactly what it sounds like, with 16 superpowered agents jumping around a large chunk of the city and blasting away at each other. This particular mode didn't seem quite as compelling as the various additions made to the campaign because it seems like we spent a lot more time searching out other players than actually fighting them. We're totally willing to see what happens with the competitive multiplayer as Ruffian tunes and refines it in the coming months, but right now, our eyes are more firmly fixed on the intriguing campaign enhancements. We'll see how it all pans out as we get closer to Crackdown 2's 2010 release.

Yarra Plenty Regional Library was founded in the mid 1960s, when the former City of Heidelberg agreed to provide library services to the former Shire of Eltham. Later the former Shire of Diamond Valley and the Shire of Whittlesea joined in the Regional group.
In 1995, following changes in local government boundaries, the new municipalities of Banyule, Nillumbik and Whittlesea continued their support for the regional library service and Yarra Plenty was one of the first regions incorporated under Section 196 of the Victorian Local Government Act 1989.
Yarra Plenty Regional Library enjoys a reputation as an innovative, progressive and effective library service. There are nine branch libraries located at Greensborough, Eltham, Ivanhoe, Lalor, Mill Park, Rosanna, Thomastown, Watsonia and Whittlesea, as well as three mobile libraries - the mobile library, Outreach Vehicle and Reading Rover.
The service is coordinated from the administration unit located in the City of Whittlesea's Civic Centre in South Morang. It also provides computer services to Murrindindi Library Service, including full access to the library's database.

InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well light-emitting diodes (MQW-LEDs) were fabricated with either Ni/Au/TiB2/Ti/Au or Ni/Au/Ir/Au p-Ohmic contacts and annealed at 200 and 350 °C for 45 days. By comparison with companion devices with conventional Ni/Au Ohmic contacts fabricated on the same wafer, MQW-LEDs with TiB2- and Ir-based Ohmic metallization schemes showed superior long-term thermal stability as judged by the change in turn-on voltage, leakage current, and output power, a promising result for applications where reliable operation at high temperature is required.

Testimony in courthouse shooting suspect's trial begins Monday in Galveston
GALVESTON - Testimony begins Monday at the Galveston County Justice Center in the capital murder trial of Jefferson County Courthouse shooting suspect, Bartholomew Granger, 42.
KFDM reporter Megan Dillard and photographer Drue Barrilleaux are in Galveston to cover the trial. Watch KFDM News and stay with kfdm.com for updates.
Attorneys picked a jury of nine men and three women last Tuesday. They'll decide the fate of the man charged in the March 14, 2012 shooting outside the Jefferson County Courthouse.
The panel also includes two alternates who are both men.
Investigators say Granger shot and killed 79-year-old Minnie Sebolt last March outside the courthouse.
Several others were shot, including his ex-wife and daughter. Police say Granger also ran over his daughter.
Prosecutors say the attack was in retaliation for their testimony in his sexual assault trial. Judge John Stevens presided over that trial.
Judge Bob Wortham is presiding over the capital murder trial. It was moved to Galveston because by law jurors can't walk past a crime scene, something they'd be forced to do if the capital murder trial were held in Jefferson County.

First trail ride in a while, lots of new people and Cochise had to play drag. He always does great on the trail but did better than I'd have ever hoped when a younger horse got anxious and after watching for a moment, we just walked up to him while everyone else was backing away and he calmed right down and followed us where he needed to go.
Love that the trees in the distance were starting to change. Riding in Oatmeal is so beautiful! Ready to ride again tomorrow.
So Diamond went out to the pasture to grow up a little more for a couple of months. I spent this weekend working with Cochise. We're going to try and hit up the Versatility show in January it looks like this one may have a novice walk trot class. This weekend pony and I worked on patterns and got an extra hour of riding time in total. The barn owner/trainer helped and we've determined that he's dropping his shoulder to the left even at the trot. Needless to say we have to fix this and get it solid before going back to loping again.
Overall great weekend, lots of pony time and wonderful weather.
I've been insanely busy the last 6 weeks or so. Promise I haven't completely disappeared just a lot of travel and no logging of much. I should be home more now. Some of the things I've done in the last 6 weeks.
Ranch Rodeo and Cowboy Heritage in Abilene
A week in the desert in Arizona with the pony working with a trainer.
Visit to the parents
Most of this past week in California for work.
I hope to post more about my Arizona trip and maybe some pictures soon!
I sure am loving spring time, this week I've gotten in two horseback rides after work. Pony is riding really nice too, and I've discovered he has an even slower jog than the speed that has been his slow.
He's also really improved his backing up. Now working on learning to sidepass and more loping. Our second little ranch horse show is next Sat, not really ready I think but still looking forward to it. With luck I'll be able to ride Monday, Thursday and Friday next week and of course this weekend!
I have been in sort of a lack of motivation slump since some rather snarky remarks on the last blog I wrote. I think partly because of the snarkiness and then the time change did not help. I finally woke up this morning feeling a bit more alive. So I'm hoping that helps my motivation.
I also decided that if that blog post comment bothered me so much I was going to say something to the commenter, even if it meant I have to deal with more of them. I think they need to know, particularly since they seem to have positive posts to blogs in general.
When leaving blog posts we should all try and not say things which can be discouraging to others. We really don't know how much or little motivation anyone else may have. But many people are here because they struggle without the support provided by this site.

The Apple Watch will start at $349 for the basic Sport edition with its anodized aluminum case and come in Spring 2015.
But what about the more expensive stainless steel version — and especially the luxurious gold edition which features a case crafted from 18-karat gold that "our metallurgists have developed to be up to twice as hard as standard gold"?
While the Cupertino firm has yet to reveal pricing for these Apple Watches, a new rumor shared by French blog iGen.fr [Google Translate] pegs the asking prices of the stainless steel model with a polished or black side at $500.
And if you have a hole burning in your pocket that demands to be filled with cash, you'll definitely want to avoid the pricey gold edition. Read More

Let's skip all the chit-chat and cut right to the point. Beyonce straight murdered the Superbowl Halftime show and us dancehall fanatics were super hype over the reggae influence and sick bad dance break in the middle of the show. Not only did Beyonce hit us with a fresh version of "Baby Boy," her bashment style collab with Sean Paul, she sampled Cutty Ranks and bussed a full-fledged "Dutty Wine" alongside some smoking hot dancers.

In May of last year, I launched our Wedding e-Promotion Campaign.
…Or at least, that is what it felt like. At the same time at my work, we were launching an email self-promotion campaign, and the steps have been very similar.
The thing is, I had already spent some time working on a fancy Save-the-date card, that turned into the invite (when I took too long fussing with it, to be honest), that was driving the entire design of the website and other potential printed materials, and wanted to still keep it a part of the invitation, even if it turned into electronic version (frankly, it looks better on screen than print anyway). You see, I work as a designer, so "branding" and "marketing" are a part of my every day life. Aesthetically, I like using the theme as much as possible, and the invites are a good way to introduce our guests to the nature of this offbeat wedding. I confess, I was attached to our "branding" and did not want to have a template drive the look of our email invites.
As it happens, my job was also looking for a way to announce our new blog and emailing our colleagues seemed the most targeting approach. Which is how I ended up learning about the variety of email services that are available online that assist you to send HTML email campaigns. And here is how I made our online invitations:
The three email services that I checked out were Constant Contact, MailChimp, and Vertical Response.
They all offer the following:
- Free trial account that will allow you to send to about 100 unique email addresses
- The ability to track who opens and who clicks through to your links
- Templates that are customizable
- The ability to create your own HTML email
It turns out that Vertical Response won out for us because they have pay-as-you-go pricing that comes in at about .015¢ per email, but they all seem to offer similar plans otherwise, so choose which one you are more comfortable with.
At this point, I bet you are thinking "Why not just send an email with an attached image file?" or something similar. Well, like I said, I wanted it to be branded, but also I wanted it to be personal. Here is where the features offered on these services really help — By uploading a spreadsheet with the right information, I was able to create a custom email that stated not only the name of the guest(s), but how many in a household were invited.
Note: I recommend, even if you are only using a first name in the email, retain the last name information in each entry so you can track which David or Jennifer you are viewing the data for later.
I combined the names of all the recipients and put them in the {FIIRST_NAME} field, but I also renamed the "number of guests in household" field on my spreadsheet to the otherwise unused in email {POSTALCODE} so I could list the number of "tickets" we were holding for them (you can create a custom field, but I was being lazy here, and just borrowed what was already there).
When I uploaded them to my lists file on the dashboard, I was able to indicate which column of information matched up with which field.
Let's review what my spreadsheet needed; at least 4 columns: First Name, Last Name, email address and, any custom information you wish to use (in my case, number of tickets, but you could add a personal note easily enough as well). Easy! With the exception of my future husband's luddite family members, we had that info for everyone.
What does this look like? Well here is our preview email…
And here is how the test looked in my inbox when I first opened it and after I allowed the images to show…
For those who do not have a email client that accepts emails in HTML format, you can create a text-only version of the email that will only be visible to those who need it.
By the way, even if you are using graphics, keep it simple! I tried using my original front save the date design, but it did not lend itself to an email format. Remember that when most people first get html emails, the default is for most email clients is that the images are off, so that version was a bunch of blank boxes, and no content until you scrolled down "below the fold."
After seeing that mess I decided to make the email a way to drive people to the web site version of that "front" and instead, focus on the back of what would have been my postcard save the date (if we had ever sent it out). Since that featured a white background, the type would show up nice and clear even when the images were suppressed, and we could focus on the personalization more.
So, the results? I was able to drive my guests to the online invite, and give them the password to my wed-site in a personalized way that also means they are at a computer and therefor are more likely to reply quickly.

When we last saw our pal Petman, the bipedal 'bot was ambling along on a treadmill, without a head. Now, thanks to the war machine's friendly robot's creators at military supplier Boston Dynamics, the T-800-esque creation has some new, combat-ready threads.
While Petman is still far too goofy and clumsy to do any real damage on a battlefield, its creators think Petman's humanoid design could be useful in potentially dangerous situations that our fragile human nervous systems aren't suited for. The company is testing the soldier droid's ability to walk, flex, and bend while wearing a specially outfitted hazmat suit, topped off with a nightmare-inducing gas mask.
This latest initiative is funded by the Department of Defense's Chemical and Biological Defense program. According to CNET, "Petman has sensors under its protective suit that detect the presence of any harmful materials that leak through the garment." The machine's "skin" can also regulate the outfit's interior micro-climate by adjusting things like "sweat" and internal temperature. In other words, adding Old Spice to your post-apocalyptic stockpile might not be such a bad idea.

When should you start worrying about this particularly virulent strain of flyaway hair?

By Lauran Neergaard and Jennifer Agiesta of the Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) – More Americans may wind up helping Mom as she gets older, but a new poll shows the most stressful kind of caregiving is for a frail spouse. The population is rapidly aging, but people aren't doing much to get ready – even though government figures show nearly 7 in 10 Americans will need long-term care at some point after they reach age 65. >> Connect with other …

Well, this is depressing: A new study finds that an older couple is more likely to divorce if the wife gets seriously ill, but not if the husband does. While the health consequences of divorce are well known, researchers wanted to see how marriage in couples age 50 and older was affected when one spouse developed a serious health condition like cancer, heart disease, lung disease or stroke. They examined 20 years of data on 2,717 marriages from the Health …

If you're looking for solutions for transportation or storage of bulk goods, chemicals or dangerous goods, Tank Containers is the division to meet your requirements. For safe liquid and powder transport and storage, Tank Containers are the experts in ensuring that your dangerous chemicals are transported and stored securely. Delivering anywhere across Australia, each unit is certified by third party inspectors and continually kept in great condition to allow transport by standard means.
For safe transportation and storage of dangerous or hazardous chemicals, bulk goods and other dangerous liquids or solids, contact Tank Containers.
We've been featured in the latest edition of Trailer Magazine for our recent work with Wilmot Freeze Haul.
SCF has supplied Wilmost with 46-foot refrigerated containers along with several skel trailers, which will transport the containers from their pick-up point to the rail terminals.
"Traditionally, we've always been a commercial road transport-based company. However, we also saw opportunities to branch out into the intermodal market," says Chris Berkefeld, Director of Wilmot Freeze Haul.
"That's when we looked at a number of refrigerated container manufacturers including SCF, who we regard as one of the biggest specialised container suppliers in Australia."
"In the end, SCF's ability to produce an Australian-made design that suited to our needs convinced us to go with them as our preferred supplier."
Our goal at SCF is to extend beyond being a common container supplier and deliver real solutions that contribute real value and results to our customers.
As the Wilmot partnership has demonstrated, we are able to provide skel trailers and containers for a road based business to assist with an intermodal conversion, which will eventually achieve the savings and efficiencies they require.
Contact us to discover more about what you can save by making the switch to intermodal equipment.

SCF Group was recently awarded with a multi-year contract with the Varley Group for the supply of more than 550 Containers for the delivery of Stores and Maintenance Modules for the Australian Army's Land 121 Phase 3B Project.
The Land 121 Phase 3B Project is a multi-phase project that will provide the Australian Defence Force with a highly-capable combination of Vehicles, Modules and Trailers. SCF will design and deliver in conjunction with the Varley Group purpose built containers to be delivered to the Australian Defence Force in 2016 for use in the field over the next 3 decades.
SCF is proud to be working with Varley, a like-minded Australian owned company, to deliver this important capability for the Australian Defence Force.

Any cooks out there have a great recipe for a moist pound cake.I've tried sour cream pound cake recipes and many times they're heavy,any ideas?
The Almond Cream cheese Pound Cake from the Cake Mix Doctors cookbook is excellent. Rich and moist
This is THE best. It is similar to a few other recipes, but the differences make a big difference. Let me know if you try it.
Perfect Pound Cake
1 cup unsalted butter 1 teaspoon salt
3 cups granulated sugar 1 teaspoon baking powder
*5 large eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla
3 cups all-purpose flour 1 cup whipping cream
(Sift 3 times before measuring)
Butter and flour 2 9by5 inch loaf pans.
Whisk salt and baking powder into presifted flour. Set aside.
Cream butter and sugar together in an electric mixer until light, fluffy and almost white, 4 to 5 minutes, stopping mixer once or twice to scrape down sides. Add eggs one at a time slowly, beating well after each addition. Add one third of flour mixture into the mixer set at low speed. Add half the whipping cream. Continue alternating flour and cream, ending with flour. Add vanilla. With rubber spatula scrape down sides and bottom until completely mixed. Pour into loaf pans, up to 2/3 full.
**Start in a cold oven**.
Place pans on middle rack of oven. Turn oven to 325 degrees. Bake for 1 hour and 20 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. (Note: It only took mine 55 minutes, so check early)
*You can also do a variation. You can add up to 7 eggs. I did 5 eggs and an extra yolk. Supposedly the 7 egg version is Elvis's favorite pound cake.
re: Becca Porter
I also concur that this is the best pound cake. I got your recipe from another site awhile back. Thanks
re: Becca Porter
Thank you Becca,I tried this recipe and it is delicious! I used the 5 eggs+a yolk,Now I'm ready for the REAL test on Thanksgiving!
re: Becca Porter
I have to agree that this was the best Moist Pound Cake that I have made. I did an Orange version with orange zest and orange extract and it came out just fine. I wanted Becca Porter to know.
re: Becca Porter
this was awesome. It is hard to find a moist pound cake. I used half brown sugar as I ran out of regular. Very rich flavor.
re: Becca Porter
OMG.....This is soooo wonderful. I sliced it thick, brushed it with melted butter and grilled it on low to toast it.... topped it with macerated strawberries and creme anglese with Gran Marinier. to Die For!!
re: Becca Porter
I realize this is an old thread I am hoping you are still a user of Chowhound. I was wondering if this pound cake is a sturdy cake? I am looking to possibly use this recipe to build a guitar cake. I like using pound cake for the stability but the people I am making this one for like moist cake.
re: flutteringhigher
I generally find cream-based pound cakes to be moist but only of middling sturdiness. Butter helps sturdiness (and dryness...) because it is solid at room temperature; cream, like oil, is not. The sturdiness of the cake flows in part from that.
There's a reason why pound or solid-fat based cakes are sturdy and dry and thus traditionally soaked in syrup or liquor to make them less dry but still sturdy.....
re: Becca Porter
Has anyone ever halved this recipe? I want to make it this weekend, but definitely don't need two hanging around...
re: italianyc84
It should be a straightforward 50% reduction in quantities, especially since the original cake is baked in two 9x5 loaf pans. The eggs are the only ingredient not readily halved as the recipe calls for five, beaten into the batter one at a time. I'd just use three eggs, or beat in two, one at a time, then whisk the third egg in a measuring cup, and beat in half of that egg, if precision is important. OTH, I don't think a half egg will make much of a difference in a pound cake.
I'll vouch for this recipe. It is simply the best I've made so far.
I did make a lemon version by adding some lemon zest & substituting 3/4 of the cream with creme fraiche.
I have never been disappointed with this recipe. Follow the instructions exactly.
Lemon Lovers Pound Cake
From the 2004 Taste of Home Annual Cookbook
1 c. butter, no subs
3 c. sugar
6 eggs
5 T. lemon juice
1 T. lemon peel, grated

1 1/4 c. sour cream.
1/4 c. sour cream
2 T. soft butter
2 1/2 c. powd. sugar
3 T. lemon juice
2 t. grated lemon peel
In large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes; Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each one; Stir in lemon juice, peel and extract; Combine flour, baking soda and salt, add to creamed mixture alternately with sour cream. Beat until just combined. Pour into greased and sugared (yes, sugar, not flour!)10-in. fluted tube pan. Bake at 350 for 55-60 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes before removing to wire rack to cool completely. For icing, beat sour cream and butter until blended, gradually add confectioners sugar then beat in lemon juice and peel. Drizzle over cake. Store in refrigerator.
Last week I made the pound cake loaf recipe from the Moosewood dessert cookbook. It was tasty and moist. I served with strawberry sauce (using How To Cook Everything's berry sauce method #2) and whipped cream.
I've always been meaning to make this recipe. There is lots of comments on Epicurious about it.
re: BarmyFotheringayPhipps
The extra five minutes is so counter-intuitive. Can anyone explain what this does?
Yes, this is the recipe that is closest to my recipe. However, the differences are dramatic in the finished recipe.
Let me say that pound cake by nature tends to be heavy and dry according to the preferences of many people. You may also want to consider other types of cake that are less prone to those problems.
Here's a recipe for a lemon pound cake that I developed for "Maran Illustrated Cooking Basics" (Thomson Course Technology PTR, 2006).
It has a very nice "crumb", slices beautifully, and was tested by amateur home cooks, for whom it worked perfectly.

Lemon Pound Cake
Recipe By :Gail Gordon Oliver/developed for Maran Illustrated Cooking Basics
(Thomson Course Technology, 2006)
Serving Size : 12 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories :
Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 2/3 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest
4 eggs
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups granulated sugar
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
Optional Glaze: 1/3 cup lemon juice and 1/3 cup sugar
Preheat oven to 325F. Grease the bottom of a 9 x 5 x 3 loaf pan; line bottom with parchment paper. Grease and lightly flour pan (or spray with baking spray) and parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt and grated lemon zest; set aside. In a small bowl, gently whisk eggs; set aside.
In bowl of stand mixture or large bowl, add butter. Using an electric mxer (preferably a stand mixer) beat butter until creamy, about 2 minutes. While continuing to beat, slowly add all of sugar. Then beat more vigorously until mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 to 6 minutes, scraping down sides of bowl once or twice. This "creaming" step is very important. Do not under-beat.
While continuing to beat, add one-half of eggs. Beat to combine. Add remaining eggs and beat for 1 minute.
Add in lemon juice and one-half of flour mixture and blend well at slow speed. Add in remaining flour and blend well. Add vanilla and increase speed to beat well for 2 minutes.
Using a rubber spatula, spread batter into prepared pan, smoothing top with back of a spoon.
Bake until cake is a deep golden brown and a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, about 65 to 70 minutes.
Remove cake from oven and place pan onto cooling rack. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
Run a knife carefully between cake and sides of pan to loosen cake. Invert onto a large plate. Carefully invert right-side up.
Allow cake to cool completely on wire rack. When completely cooled, wrap cake tightly in plastic wrap. Cake is best the day after it is made. Slice thinly and serve with a mixture of equal parts sour cream and berries, adding sugar if desired.
FOR OPTIONAL GLAZE: While cake is cooling in pan, in a small saucepan, heat together 1/3 cup lemon juice and 1/3 cup granulated sugar, until sugar is dissolved. After removing cake from pan, invert right side-up. Using a toothpick, immediately make holes over surface of cake. Spoon 3/4 of warm glaze over surface of warm cake. Using a pastry brush, brush remaining glaze onto edges and sides of cake. Allow to cool completely and wrap as directed.

This recipe was my grandmother's, and is by far the best pound cake I've ever had. The cake itself is moist and rich and dense, and while baking, the top becomes an incredible, crunchy, cookie-like layer. So yes, there's probably something technically wrong with the formula, but my entire family would disown my pastry-chef mother if she "fixed" it. That crunchy top is the best part.
This pound cake is extraordinarily moist, but it's pound cake. It's going to be dense by definition. It's very different than what you'd buy in a supermarket--and in my opinion, vastly better. I *like* moist and dense.
Now, I haven't made this since the new crisco formulation. While I like the no-trans-fats move for health reasons, it has really screwed with some of my recipes. I nearly wept when I made 12 batches of our no-fail gingerbread house dough (the White House recipe) and it baked up horribly wrong this past Christmas. Hmm, maybe I'll do a test run today with the new product and come back with a review.
Crunchy-topped pound cake
makes 2 loaves
3 c sugar
1 c crisco
4 eggs
1 c buttermilk
3 c flour
1/4 t salt
1/4 t baking soda
1 T vanilla
1. Cream the sugar and crisco.
2. Add the four eggs, one at a time, beating after each.
3. Add the buttermilk, flour, salt, and soda.
4. Add the vanilla.
5. Divide the batter between two greased bread pans.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour and 15 minutes. Reduce the temperature to 300 for the last 15 minutes. Test with a toothpick in the center to check to see if it's done.
re: modthyrth
Happy to report that the recipe still works with the new Crisco formula. Yum.
re: modthyrth
Have you ever tried this with butter in lieu of the Crisco? Did it work?
Thank You Thank You My Cake Was SOOOOOO Good . In my stove it cooked for 1 hr 15 mins. It was just like my GrandMother Pound Cake, Thank You .
I made Elvis Presley's Favorite Pound Cake yesterday for a friend's birthday and it was delicious!
Very belated thanks to Mila.

If the Dallas Stars get their way, Derek Roy's name won't feature in trade rumors for much longer. According to Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News, the club is currently working to negotiate a contract extension with Roy ahead of the April 3rd trade deadline. Fortunately for the Dallas club, the 29-year-old center seems to want the same thing."They've been talking, so it's been good," Roy said. "Me and GM Joe Nieuwendyk have had a talk, too, so that's good. But, like I said, I can't focus on that or my game will go downhill pretty fast. That's why I hired an agent Larry Kelly. Obviously, with the shoulder surgery right away, they wanted me to be at my best, and be here for a long time, so it shows they really care for the players," he said. "It's a great organization here, I like it here, so it's just a matter of trying to get it done."Derek Roy has proven to the Dallas Stars that despite injuries in recent seasons he was a smart off-season acquisition from the Buffalo Sabres.
