The Infinite Stream
The Internet has been easy to embrace, and obviously helpful in many ways. But how do Google searches and Itunes translate into advertising revenue? What are the business models?
Infinity, one of the largest radio broadcasters in the country, avoided streaming for years; now it's in the fold. Why? Are there lessons in Infinity's migration to the Internet that others can draw lessons from? Matt Timothy, Infinity's vice president of streaming media provides some answers about these issues.
"Why is Inifinity, which has avoided streaming for so long, embracing it now? I don't know the answer, other than to say, why not now?" asks Timothy. "We have a tremendous collection of local brands, and Infinity wants to unlock that value, to extend it to platforms and places where everyone can access it.
"Attracting advertisers targeting localized markets is one strong advantage of streaming broadcasts," said Timothy. "Advertisers are on board, without a doubt. Our initial streaming launch consisted of 12 news stations, and the response from advertisers has been great. Fundamentally, streaming allows us to expand the sales conversations we have with potential advertisers in two ways: we can talk to individuals and companies who haven't been able to afford our services in the past, and we can now offer them a suite of tools that were not available in the past. For example, banners and online spots give advertisers more choices, and more entry points into the markets we provide them with."
When asked if streaming helps Infinity compete with satellite radio, Timothy says, "Let's say that it allows our brands to be heard in more places. Reaching people while they are at work is important, and streaming gives us more shelf space for our brands. We have an aggressive, nimble sales force on the ground, and streaming gives them even more to sell."
Negotiating with AFTRA and other talent unions has been a sticking point for many would-be advertisers on a budget. What is Infinity's position on this ticklish issue? "In any new initiative there are obstacles and challenges to overcome. The potential for this business is big enough that we're addressing the issue you just brought up every single day."
Yes, but there must be a way to provide one layer of spot production for entry level clients, and another that uses top union talent, for national clients with larger budgets, right? "We can accommodate Home Depot, for example, and its desire to appear on our sites, as well as the most local, community based businesses. The conversation we have with talent unions and others is on-going. The cement is still wet on the policies we're developing in this area."
Technology approach
Ray Miklius, vice president of studio systems for Broadcast Electronics, said that his company has expanded into datacasting products and services. For example, BE provides Sonixtream, an application to allow Internet listeners see the title of a song and information on the artist. The system also provides real-time data for other playback devices, including car radios and table-top units.
"After the Internet advertising crash of 2001, companies realized that the level of advertising they received from streaming couldn't support the initiatives that had been undertaken on the Internet, in part because the valuations coming from Internet companies were inflated. Royalty uncertainty was also an issue, and radio seemed ready to disappear from the Internet, from a streaming standpoint," said Miklius.
"The CARP and AFTRA negotiations didn't make things easier for clients. AFTRA, for example, wanted a lot more money for a spot played on the Internet than via terrestrial broadcast, but that just didn't make sense for advertisers. A major push to replace ads came to be. Stations needed to get the union spots off the Internet because they could not afford them."
Miklius added, "To be fair, an important point was reached when customers realized that local transmission at affordable rates brought additional assets into the picture. At that point, new models for monetizing the Internet stream came into being that were more focused, and in some cases, targeted to a quite specific market.
"Everyone's looking for revenue growth, and streaming is definitely more economical than it was four years ago. Bandwidth rates, for example, have dropped significantly. It's great for a listener to have a DSL line for $40 a month, but when you need lots of bandwidth price becomes an important factor. Not long ago a megabyte of bandwidth cost about $500 a month. The price has dropped significantly. And now that the fiber has been laid and the infrastructure is in place, rates have dropped by a factor of 10 to 1 over the last three years," said Miklius.
"Traditional radio streams will continue to be viable for many years with Internet streaming simply adding value for advertisers," said Miklius. "Graphics, for example, are obviously not possible with radio, but they can be incorporated into streaming audio in a number of creative ways that will help listeners remember information. Album artwork can be displayed while a song is playing. The Web address of an advertiser, a coupon code or a number of other pieces of information can be displayed as well. A new level of interactivity has been added for the listener. Stations have to sell the value to their advertising base. That's how these services will get properly monetized."
Additional interactivity allows listeners to purchase music online. Likewise, a listener can click to an advertiser's website if he hears something he likes.
Clearly, the day has arrived when creative ways to use the Internet will result in effective new revenue streams for advertisers at all entry points. Taking this message to mom and pop stores and all the way up to the most visible national advertisers is the next important step for broadcasters looking to profit from Internet streaming.

It's been a season of record shipments for California strawberry growers, and mid-July prices were steady as compared to last year's.
California growers shipped nearly 109.2 million trays of strawberries so far this year as of the week ending July 3, said Carolyn O'Donnell, communications director for the California Strawberry Commission, Watsonville. Last year at the same time, California's year-to-date shipping total was about 108 million trays.
"Pretty much every grower-shipper is picking a lot, and that's good news for the retailer and the consumer," said Cindy Jewell, director of marketing, California Giant Inc., Watsonville.
As of July 6, California growers had shipped more than 7 million trays in each of four weeks of this year. In 2009, its highest weekly shipping volumes were about 6 million trays, which occurred in 10 weeks.
Despite greater volume, prices were the same as last year. On July 14, the U.S. Department of Agriculture reported that prices for flats of eight 1-pound strawberry containers with lids shipping from Salinas and Watsonville, Calif., were at $7-8, the same as they were a year earlier.
O'Donnell said there were fewer acres of strawberries planted this year as compared to last year, but a combination of good growing weather and higher-yield varieties was producing a bigger volume.
California Giant has the same acreage of strawberries as last year, but it is expected to ship more trays, Jewell said. The company ships between 18 million and 21 million trays in a season.
"We had a wet and cold winter and that helped the plants to get a lot of vigor," she said. "It helped in getting the salt out of the soil and producing optimal conditions."
The albion and san andreas varieties are two higher-yield varieties California Giant is growing this summer. Promotable supplies should be available at least through September, with smaller volumes in October until the season ends in November.
"Good, strong volumes will prevail all summer long," Jewell said.
Red Blossom Farms, Santa Ynez, Calif., planted 2,400 acres of strawberries this year in Santa Maria, Calif., and in the Salinas/Watsonville area, said Michelle Deleissegues, director of marketing. She said the company expects to ship 14 million trays this season, and it should have promotable volumes through September.
Driscoll Strawberry Associates Inc., Watsonville, was harvesting good quality strawberries in July, said Douglas Ronan, vice president of marketing.
He said the company projected continued good quality into October. Volumes were beginning to peak in mid-July, Ronan said, and were expected to remain high until about Labor Day, when a drop in volume typically occurs.

I have very sensitive skin that's why I have am very careful on what products I use. I tend to break out and it doesn't get really pretty. Since I work in a corporate setting, there is a need for me to be presentable and look my best thus the need for make-up.
I struggled which make-up brand to use until a friend recommended Tarte Cosmetics. The first thing that drew me in was the packaging then I zeroed in on the line ALL natural product ingredient cosmetics. I was a bit skeptical about it but decided to give it a try since I have read a lot of reviews online and often see it recommended in magazines.
They were right. The Tarte make-up cosmetics line is ALWAYS formulated without parabens, mineral oil, phthalates, triclosan, sodium lauryl sulfate and gluten. I have never experienced a breakout with using them ever.
Here are a few of my favorite products. Most of them are bestsellers and are currently on sale. If you sign up for tarte.com e-mails, you can get 20% off your first order too. (Now is a great time for you to try it or stock up if you use them.)
Amazonian Clay 12-hour blush | maracuja blush & glow | LipSurgence™ matte lip tint  | LipSurgence™ skintuitive lip tint
The Amazonian clay 12-hour blush is my absolute favorite. Using a blush brush, fan over the apples of the cheeks, blending along the cheekbone. This 12-hour blush universally benefits all skin types for a fade-free, flawless finish in shades ranging from soft to vivid and matte to shimmer to suit a wide variety of skin tones. Amazonian clay minimizes oil in and around pores to balance skin and keep product in place while also hydrating the skin naturally to restore moisture, reducing the appearance of dry, flaky skin. I use the dollface blush for my skintone but it comes in other shades as well:
Charisma (warm golden apricot)
Peaceful (soft nude-peach)
Flush (deep berry)
Blushing Bride (plummy rose)
Natural Beauty (red)
Dollface (light pink)
Blissful (warm peach)
What are Tarte Cosmetics' skinvigorating ingredients?
Tarte cosmetics go by this belief: What you put on your body should be as healthy and natural as what you put in it. This is why they use the following natural ingredients: Amazonian Clay, acai berry extract, acerola, Vitamins A, C & E, Goji berry extract, Maracuja, mineral pigments, olive esters, peppermint oil, pomegranate and rice bran wax.

So here it is, Friday, again, what are your plans? I'm off to West Point for my "guys in uniforms fix". Their summer training (in the field) is over and they will have some free time before classes start up next week...You have to give these young men and women credit, they really do get a workout. And after being in the field all summer, even this 70 yr. old chick will look good.....
Good weekend, everyone, Dorothy |
Follow-Up Postings:
My husband has to work tomorrow all day. Nothing at all planned for us. Vic |
I have my mystery quilt class in the morning. I plan to work on a baby quilt in the afternoon. I have all the blocks done, just have to put them together. I also want to take a dip in the pool. The water is almost as warm as bath water (just the way I like it!). Linda OH |
Well, hopefully, amcfeely and family are coming for a swim and dinner on Sunday. We had to put it off last weekend, but I'm hoping this weekend will be an even better choice. It looks like the rain has finally stopped, so swimming will be possible. Mary |

Well I'm excited. DD is coming for the weekend. She's working at a camp 4 hours away. The original plan was that she was bringing 10 co-workers with her. (All 18-22 years old, and most are from out of state). DH and I bought a ton of junk food to feed them all over the weekend. I folded up all my sewing tables in my sewing room to have room for sleeping bags, etc. I was prepared to house 11 young people. We even went out a bought more guest towels. These kids don't have much time for showers, so I figured they would all appreciate long, hot, private showers while they were here. Well, as young people often do, many of them decided the Padres game would be more fun than a 4 hour drive to the mountains. I was even prepared to do all their laundry. I'm totally not upset. DD is bringing 3 people. It's gonna be a fun weekend. Our empty nest will have some young people for a couple of days. And I have new towels. And the spare bathroom is now clean. On Sunday the junk food is going with them, there is only so much Cheese-Whiz I can eat. Have a great weekend everyone! Nina |
I plan to quilt, quilt, quilt!!! I have one almost quilted; one sandwiched; one ready to be sandwiched; and one awaiting borders. And soooo many ideas for new ones when these are finished. Happy Quilting and Happy Weekend, friends! |

DH is going on a motorcycle ride today. I'm taking the kids sailing on my parent's boat on the Chesapeake Bay today. Tomorrow is open at the moment, but might work on a mystery quilt's sashing...all cut and ready for sewing. Might have quiet time to consider quilting plans for my dresden plate. A friend insists I can do feathers! I'm not so sure. |
Going to a antique/flea market this morning and hope to finish weeding and catching up on yard work later in the day or on Sunday. Hope to start on the binding of the Thimbleberries Village quilt I just picked up at the LA quilter on Thursday. That's it for now. Have a good one everyone. Geri |

DH is working today, so I think I will continue working on a quilt I started for my bed. I have been battling a nasty sinus infection all week too, so don't feel like getting out of the house into the heat. Jennifer, DH and I drove through VA last weekend on our way to Baltimore. Well, I should say we rode not drove. We were on a chartered bus with two boyscout troops and their parents. We stayed in the port of Baltimore and stayed the night on a WWII submarine and a Coast Guard Cutter the next night. Wow, what an experience! We both agreed that VA is a beautiful state! We took a trip while dating up the blue ridge parkway and went as far as the Shannondoah national park. Rebecca |

I'm still ironing & folding fabric. |
Hi everybody, Nice to catch up with some of you! I am home from a week at the lake in Maine. Our 'big kids' (adults now really) joined us up there. I had some nice quality time with our DGS. Have to really think about an I-Spy quilt now! Before that I was in a teaching writing seminar at a college near us. It was 5 weeks, four full days a week. Very intense, that's for sure, but also very rewarding at the same time. Worth 6 graduate credits so that was also a plus! DH leaves for a fishing trip in Alaska this week. I hope to really clean our bedroom and organize. Maybe I'll do my sewing loft too. I have my Mom's second memorial in Maine at the end of the week. Mixed feelings about that... Take care, |

Kevin and I were appalled when we saw a commercial tonight for Dump Cakes! We could not stop laughing, but Kevin is sure that people will buy this. It reminded him of the Cookin' Cheap TV show (one of my favorites), except that they seemed to be serious. I've heard of recipes for Popeye's biscuits that use sour cream and Seven-Up, but at least in those recipes, one had to mix the batter/dough. In the dump cakes recipes, there is no stirring - simply dump cake mix in a pan with some fruit, pour soda on top, and bake. I guess this is one way to avoid over mixing the dough, and so at least it will not be tough. Have you seen these ads? What were they thinking? When will they stop? Am I missing something? Lars |

I think you will be amazed at the number of people that actually make this and there have been several threads on Dump Cakes on this forum over the years. Alexa |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dump Cake thread from 2008
What's old is new, and what goes around comes around..... These were potluck specials for ever and always since I can remember, and now someone put the lot into a couple cookbooks. Isn't capitalism great :?) I wonder if they will come up with one using breadcrumbs? I've been collecting those recipes from old cookbooks for a decade now. Hubby made (gluten-free) Breadcrumb Brownies with Coconut Pecan Frosting for my birthday recently.....yummm. |
I used to make and love dump cake back in the eighties - that was the most popular cake for office pot-luck gatherings. I wonder how it would taste now that I haven't eaten a box cake for years. |

Never had a dump cake that I know of, but as for "dump dinners", there must be a million Crock Pot recipes that apply. |

Here lately I have been seeing dump cake bashing all over the place...what is up with that? I happen to think that dump cake is quite tasty. It tastes like a "crisp"....so what's so wrong with that? I would think that kids would absolutely love it. Certainly there are tastier dishes but you would think that this is just horrid by the way some go on about it? It has to taste better than a Twinkie or a Moon Pie(etc) and people buy those and eat them. |

I have had dump cake and love it. It is made from refined flour and lots of sugar and fat and BHT, so obviously it is not something that I make or eat very often. The kind I had was not with the fruit cocktail, it was made with cherry pie filling. Basically a variation on cherry cobbler. The cooks at the Y-camp where I worked in the 80's made it as dessert for dozens of people at once. It was very popular and great with frozen custard on top. Sophisticated it is not. But it is the kind of thing that one might keep the ingredients on hand for if you find yourself in situations where you need to make a lot of food fast and easy for a crowd. Such as a camp situation, large workplace or large family. It is something you could whip up at the last minute and everyone would like it, because they were hungry and would not overthink it. Kinda like what I used to do keeping store-bought pie crust and frozen peaches and raspberries on hand so that if I got a last-minute holiday dinner invite I could bring my "home made" peach raspberry pie, or the pig-pickin' cake I made to take to a work party that was a hit. Yes, I could taste the BHT but everyone at work liked it and frankly it was just a work thing and I didn't feel like I needed to either impress or fuss for those folks. It was a party at work. Now at home for an intimate dinner party with friends I might make a home made apple or pear cake from scratch, so I think dump cake vs something more elegant is an apples to oranges comparison. If you don't have a lot of time and need something good and fast, it'll do and a lot of people don't care about the differences between dump cake and something else, they are not necessarily that focused on food. My favorite way to make pork loin roast is a can of ginger ale, some soy sauce and some garlic used as a marinade and also to cook it in and reduce for a sauce. Since I am not a big meat fan, it is something easy I can make for the meat eaters and keep them happy. Yeah, if I want to impress I pound it out and stuff it with something and then tie it all up, yada, yada. But that takes a lot more time and energy, so it depends on my mood and situation which one I would do. I have been known to make "home made" minestrone by dumping some chunky garden vegetable marinara sauce in with some vegetable broth, a can of kidney beans, some pre-cooked sausage and some frozen vegetables. Add a splash of wine and shaved Parmesan, and it is "gourmet." And my favorite beans and rice or pasta dish has a sauce of a can of chopped up italian style stewed tomatoes, a can of beans and a half slab of either cream cheese or neufatchel, to taste. It's either that or tuna pasta puttanesca which I make with jarred sauce and a TBLSP or two of capers and olives and a can of imported tuna. Plenty of parmesan on top and everyone is happy! |

really?! I've never had a real dump cake then! I thought a "dump cake" was one where you mixed all the ingredients in the baking pan, or one where you dumped a can of fruit on the bottom and topped with a batter and melted butter. Is a real dump cake always made with a boxed cake mix? arkansas_girl, can you tell me your favorite dump cake recipe? I'm curious and may have to make one to try. lol! |
- Posted by therustyone 9 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 27, 13 at 11:10
Don't laugh! Or make fun of something you know nothing about! "Dump Cake" is actually pretty durned good, Unless, of course, you are trying to be a 'food snob'. arkansas_girl & lpinkmountain said it all extremely well! As to crock pot recipes, Rusty |
This post was edited by therustyone on Wed, Nov 27, 13 at 11:18
OK, here's my recipe from way back in the 80's when it was the bomb. 1 can cherry pie filling Put in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan in the order listed above. DO NOT MIX INGREGIENTS!! Bake at 375 for 45 minutes. |
lpinkmountain - Your recipes sound similar to those we use for home food storage (using home- and/or commercially-canned items kept in storage, plus other on-hand pantry ingredients), and also some recipes I teach for emergency meals. BTW, "emergencies" don't just happen during an ice storm when the power out, it could be any night of the week (LOL). So dump away, dump away, dump away all...... -Grainlady From "Apocalypse Chow!" by Jon and Robin Robertson - ALMOST-INSTANT BLACK BEAN CHILI Combine the ingredients in a saucepan, reserving half the corn. Cover and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally. Add as much water as needed to create a sauce and prevent mixture from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to medium and simmer, stirring frequently until heated through, long enough to cook off any raw taste from the chili powder, about 15-minutes. Garnish with the remaining corn. From: "100-Day Pantry" by Jan Jackson CHICKEN BARLEY SOUP Combine all ingredients and simmer until barley is don, stirring occasionally. The barley will take about 45-50 minutes on the stovetop or 3-4 hours in a slow-cooker. From: "NOT Your Mother's Food Storage" by Kathy Bray and Jan Barker EASY CHOCOLATE CHIP PUMPKIN COOKIES 1 box spice cake mix Preheat oven to 375-degrees F. Combine ingredients in a large bowl and mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes. My own food storage recipe adapted from the recipe on McCormick White Chicken Chili Seasoning Mix package. 2 small cans (or one 13-oz. can) boneless chicken breast, undrained Bring to a boil, cover. Reduce heat and simmer 10-minutes. Note: You can add a can (14-1/2 oz.) of diced tomatoes (drained) with the beans to this recipe, or stir in a can of corn (undrained) or 1-cup of frozen corn with the beans. For quick-to-fix CHICKEN TACOS, drain a can of chicken breast meat. Mix it in a small skillet with some taco seasonings and a little taco sauce or salsa (good use for any packets of sauce purloined from your local Taco Bell). Serve on taco shells or on tortilla chips - with the usual taco toppings. |
Another dump cake lover here. And what is a beef stew but a dump dinner? you dump all the ingredients into a crock pot or a heavy pot and let is cook. Boom, dinner is done! Don't knock till you have tried it. |

Rusty, I'm sorry if you do not have a sense of humor and do not like it when people laugh, but I happened to think that the woman in the commercial was particularly entertaining. I would never call someone a snob because they found something humorous. I've had people laugh at me my entire life, and I have learned to live with it and allow them to enjoy themselves - even at my expense. I am reminded of an episode of an early 1950s episode of Burns and Allen in which Blanche's husband comes up with a new food idea that he thinks will be the new great thing - Frozen Yogurt! and it was a huge joke at the time. You may notice in my post that I added "Am I missing something?" to indicate that dump cakes might be a good thing. It is not a good thing to judge quickly, and I try to avoid that. I still want to try the Popeye's biscuit recipe that uses Seven-Up. Lars |
- Posted by therustyone (My Page) on Wed, Nov 27, 13 at 11:56
Lars, I haven't seen that commercial. Your use of the word "appalled" in the first sentence Of your original post gave me the impression you were belittling anyone who would make and eat a dump cake. Apparently I misunderstood, And I apologize for that. And yes, the 7-Up biscuit recipe is pretty good, too! :>) Rusty |
- Posted by lpinkmountain (My Page) on Wed, Nov 27, 13 at 11:58
Lars a friend gave me a gift of hand crafted scones mix that all you had to do was add club soda to. It was good! But I tried making some myself with a 7-Up recipe and they turned out awful. I must have missed something too! Dump cake is definitely something to miss if you're worried about blood sugar or saturated fat! I often find myself fixing food for a lot of kids, teens or college students, which is a different crowd than folks my age. A lot of times I make things from scratch and they don't even like them or know the difference. That's where these kinds of foods come in handy. Why bother with something else when the time invested vs appeal to the audience is a zero sum game. Dump cake or home made strudel, a group of teens will devour both with equal relish! And I knew your curious nature so I got the context of your question. You may count yourself lucky that you don't have to cook for a bunch of teens. It is both frustrating and rewarding at times. One of the nicest things is when I watched an inner-city teen that I had mentored do a demo of dutch oven Bisquick coffee cake over an open fire and one of the staff marveled at how she had mastered the art, and she said, "Lpink taught me everything I know!" I'm not sure how well that boded for her future as a chef though, lol! |
Once I made a Dump Cake for a block party and everyone wanted the recipe. Once in awhile it's nice to make quick recipes. One of my favorites is a soup of chicken broth, frozen spinach and cheese tortellini. Bing, bang, bong -- done. |
Dump Cake was also called "Baked Cherry Pudding" in a Better Homes & Gardens book "Meals In Minutes". The cookbook was published in 1963. BAKED CHERRY PUDDING Spread pie filling in buttered 9x9x- inch pan. Sprinkle cake mix evenly over top of filling; drizzle with butter. Bake in moderate oven (350-degrees F.) 40-45 minutes or till top is golden brown. Serve warm with ice cream. Makes 9 servings. Casseroles or casseroles with "Hot Dish" in the title were more-or-less dump dinners incorporating canned tomatoes, Cream of ________ Soup, canned peas and other vegetables (corn, lima beans, carrots, green beans, mushrooms, etc.), some kind of meat - tuna/salmon, ground beef, ham/cubed SPAM, macaroni/broken spaghetti/rice/crushed potato chips.... I think this recipe was brought by someone to nearly every pot-luck I ever frequented in the 70's and 80's. TATER-TOT HOT DISH Put in layers in small casserole as listed. (When doubling the recipe, use only 3 cans of soup.) Bake at 350-degrees for 30-40 minutes. This will make a large cake pan full. It can be prepared the night before and baked the next day. Editorial note from the cookbook's author: A life saver for a busy Lutheran woman. The recipe is from "Lutheran Church Basement Women - Lutefisk, lefse, lunch and Jell-O - by Janet Letnes Martin and Allen Todnem (one of the funniest cookbooks I've ever read!) The love it or hate it "Green Bean Casserole" is another example. -Grainlady |
Is this the commercial? I had to go looking LOL I would have really appreciated the dump dinner one while I was working. |

All my meals are dumps. Heck, you could put 'dump' in front of all my recipe titles especially when i use someone else's. I always change things, sometimes i take the time to arrange the dump. Call me dumpdog. But, i dump fresh ingredients. I have no problem with the concept. It is the ingredients that are crap in food value and nutrition. A can of this-n-that sugared fruit. Bottle of soda? Nothing snotty about wanting to eat healthy food. Dump in some grated carrots, sweet potato, zucchini, fresh fruit, or frozen fresh fruit. Fresh fruit juice, even coconut milk. Doesn't cake mix just have a few ingredients to make your own? I have no idea, never have i bought one... Clafouti is a dump dessert that i made all summer. I can make it more or less sweet depending on the fruit. Using honey or maple syrup. |
- Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Wed, Nov 27, 13 at 15:21
Yes, CL, I missed that Lars posted the link, too. Had to laugh at some the potty-mouth comments on your youtube link though! |
I took a peach dump cake to a family gathering and everyone loved it. My SIL wanted the recipe and it's one of their favourites. Easiest thing to do......dump a can of peaches in a 9x13 dish, top with yellow cake mix, press firmly onto the peaches and drizzle melted butter. Hubby and I don't care for it, as it's too sweet for our tastes, but it's a great dish to take to a potluck. |
reminds me of cupa cupa cupa. there's recipe on the web for it. |
Here is a link that might be useful: just a pinch. com
Since I have a daughter who loves cake mix cakes and eats Cream of Mushroom Soup out of the can, cold, I can't say much. If she weren't exactly like me in so many other ways I'd swear she was switched at birth, LOL. I've made the Dump Cake while camping with the Girl Scouts, we used fresh apples and spice cake mix. We also made Coke Chicken in a dutch oven with a sauce of half Coke and half catsup. The chicken was not bad and the Girl Scouts had no trouble at all finishing off the cake. When I was a single mother with two kids, a full time job and was finishing college, we ate a lot of quick meals from the Crock Pot and cold sandwiches. Now, however, I want fresh ingredients and food that isn't full of a bunch of things I can't pronounce or even worse, full of hormones, antibiotics, more chemicals of all types. I don't think that's being a snob. I admit that I do see the rationale behind something like the Dump Cake, it's fast, easy, relatively inexpensive and doesn't take a lot of thought, work or ingredients. The thing I don't understand is the "doctor up a (fill in the blank with the mix of your choice)". If I'm going to buy a bunch of ingredients and spend time mixing up a long list of them, why don't I just bake the cake or whatever from scratch in the first place? The "doctored up" recipes are getting longer and more involved than the things from scratch! And, of course, everyone here knows that I do not like commercial cake mix, to me it has a weird chemical flavor and odd texture. I do mix up my own homemade cake mix, though, as well as brownie mix, thanks to King Arthur Flour. Annie |
- Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Thu, Nov 28, 13 at 6:33
Annie, the point is you don't even have to mix them. Have you ever stirred flour into a dough or batter? It flies all over the place and makes a huge mess! (The best part of any commercial like this is the black and white part!) |
- Posted by murphy_zone7 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 28, 13 at 6:38
It occurs to me that there is possibly a whole generation of cooks (those born in the 80's 90's) who have never had dump cake and have no idea how to make them. I am also curious how many would buy a book of recipes for X dollars plus shipping when almost all the recipes can be found online for free. Those younger cooks are usually very tech savvy and with their smartphone and computer, find everything they need online. In MHO anyway. Seems to be a case of someone thought of a way to maybe make some money and ran with it. I agree with lars, it is a funny commercial. Wonder how many books they will sell. Murphy Oh here is a recipe for 7-Up Biscuits. Don't remember where I got it but a google search will show a lot of links plus you tube videos. 7 UP BISCUITS INGREDIENTS: |
- Posted by arkansas_girl (My Page) on Thu, Nov 28, 13 at 7:25
Someone asked the recipe that I use. It's just a basic called Easy Cherry Cobbler. All it is is a can (or up to three) of Comstock cherry pie filling in 9 X 13 pan with a cake mix sprinkled over the top, 1 and a half stick of butter melted and poured evenly over the top and baked at 350 for 30 minutes. I like Comstock the best for canned pie fillings. It's what Mom always bought and her pies were the best. At least everyone in the family thought so. Of course a food snob probably would have stuck their nose up at them but....oh well...more for us! :) |
Not exactly a dump cake, but here's one for your too easy to not try list. We always just scoop it out with an ice cream scoop serve it with a couple scoops of ice cream and hot fudge. SLOW COOKER Ingredients Directions |
Lars - That commercial made me laugh too, and for some reason I kept thinking that it would end up being an SNL parody a la Dan Aykroyd. I've never made a dump cake, but I rarely make cakes in general. I'm more of a fruit crisp/buckle kind of girl, so I'll go the extra mile and make that instead. I think dump cakes are kind of a "comfort food" thing for people - a warm, sugary, gooey dessert that most of us aren't going to eat on a regular basis. I'd call it a guilty pleasure for me. The cherry version that grainlady/arkansas girl mention above is what I think of as the quintessential dump cake. If it were offered at a party, I'd definitely enjoy it. My husband used to make something similar out of chocolate pudding and graham crackers and I remember it being tasty. gpc2012 - have to try your slow cooker cake! And I'd like to know how the 7-up biscuits go. |
I very rarely read the youtube comments anymore sometimes they are down right nasty. I had to go back and look he did post the link LOL can I pretend to be color blind. |
I've made the Grainlady/Arkansas Girl version of dump cake before too. Definitely something from the 80s. And I also remember liking it. I think it was the large amount of melted butter or margarine that I enjoyed the most. Cake mixes were a part of my life for years & years simply because that's what my mother used. She made the Greek desserts from scratch, but for everything else, it was a mix. I think it was because, like me, she didn't care for most dessert type things. So, for me, using a cake mix and canned pie filling didn't seem strange. Now I don't use cake mixes anymore but still don't like cakes or cookies enough to bother making them -- with or without the mixes. |

So THAT'S what all those weird looking "crumbles" were in the 80's. That stuff was gross! Personally I can't imagine mixing cherries with pineapple, but then I hate cherries. Spent too many years pitting bushel loads of them with a bobby pin before freezing them for pies. I have no real objection to mixes or easy-cooking recipes (crockpot meals are fine with me) but I do object to the idea that taking pre-made stuff and sticking it together with other pre-made stuff somehow counts as actual cooking or baking. It does not. Years ago I had a coworker who brought something in that she called a "tart" - I figured she meant a "torte", though it wasn't really that either. She raved about her own "recipe". To be polite, I asked her how she made it. Turns out she had bought some angel food cake - the rectangular sort - and sliced it, then put bought raspberry jam between the layers to glue it back together. That was gross too, and it wasn't "baking". There are numerous examples of this kind of mindset, sort of at the level of making pop-bottle papier-mache dolls or cutting Reader's Digests up to make Christmas trees and calling it "art". Third grade level stuff (or even kindergarten) that has somehow come to be viewed by a large portion of modern adults as actual "expertise". It's like we've become a nation of people who don't really know how to do anything real anymore and mistake bare minimum skills for accomplishment ... People who DO know how to do something "real" excepted, of course, LOL! |
Sandra Lee, the so-called "television chef" on the Food Network" is the epitome of "dump" on her "Semi-Homemade" show using 70% pre-packaged food in her recipes. -Grainlady |

On the issue of 7 up in biscuits. I knew I had just read something like that. In a recent issue of Taste of Home magazine there is a suggestion to use lemon lime soda as the liquid for pancakes. Makes them light as air. I would think it would add a lot of sugar. |
I realize this is an old thread, and at the risk of ruining my (new) reputation, I can't resist telling the word, under my assumed name, that in a moment of weakness and nostalgia and totally out of character, I did indeed order the dump cake book "which included a "free" dump dinner book, and a "free" ceramic frying pan. Laugh all you want . The truth of the matter is that the book is really kinda fun. My daughter used to make a couple of the dump cakes when she was first married in the early 80's, so I'm going to surprise her & her husband this coming Sat nite when they come for a leg of lamb dinner & serve a dump cake for dessert! What's that rumbling??? Oh, I know, it is several of you shuddering. Most of the time, our families "eat healthy", (including my 100 year old father!) but Saturday night we will sink into decadence, The cherries actually sound good after the lamb, peas, etc and I know they will get a kick out of it. You know, the book had several tempting versions of the dump cake, and over the years I will probably enjoy using some of them. The dump dinner cookbook was actually just a 39 page paperback, and haven't perused it yet, but would think the advantage of a dump dinner as opposed to a crockpot dinner is going to be not having to plan as far ahead. Sorry this is so late & so long; I just couldn't resist since no one (but me :) ) seems to have actually ordered it! I probably would not do it again, as the scottish side of me is horrified that I spent $27 on a whim, for a questionable cookbook, with "free stuff" which of course you are pretty much paying for in the 7.99 shipping, and probably inflated price of the cookbook. I hope they can stop laughing long enough Sat nite to eat & enjoy the decadent, quirky expensive cake. |
Do report back after your dinner to let us know their reaction! |

I hate when cooking becomes snobby and not fun although I am as guilty as anyone and this is not meant towards Lars at all, just the general attitude most of us might feel about dump cakes. Enjoy the book, jlol! I used to make dump cakes in the eighties too for church gatherings and used the recipe copied and pasted below. However, I added a can of drained tart cherries to the can of pie filling cherry glop and that made a big difference and always used lots of pecans and real butter. Anyway, I would bake the dump cakes during our meeting and the aroma always got the most responses. And the group loved it. I think it's important to recognize that pre internet and pre cultural cuisine infiltration, this really was how most of mainstream America ate and considered tasty. I don't think it's that bad now at all but times have changed and it's not stylish although people still seem to use cake mixes. Posted by ritaweeda (My Page) on OK, here's my recipe from way back in the 80's when it was the bomb. 1 can cherry pie filling Put in a 13 x 9 inch baking pan in the order listed above.

Sounds DELICIOUS to me! :) |
Bumble, my recipe is almost identical except it calls for 2 sticks butter, and to cook the cake at 325 for 1.5 hours. I've been doubling the amount of fruit. I don't care how this stuff is made, all I know is you literally cannot have just one bite and walk away! lol |

Earlier this evening, while attending a Sony Computer Entertainment America party at Chicago's House of Blues, we had an opportunity to sing along with the latest work-in-progress version of SingStar. The PlayStation 3 game's most publicized improvement over its PlayStation 2 predecessors will be the ability to download songs from the "SingStore" for an as yet undisclosed sum. Tonight we were able to check out some of SingStar's other online features and, although the list of 30 songs that will be included with the game is still being finalized, we can tell you that the following 15 will definitely be among them:
Monster by The Automatic
Toxic by Britney Spears
Lets Dance by David Bowie
Do You Want To by Franz Ferdinand
Mr Brightside by The Killers
So Sick by Ne-Yo
Hey Ya by Outkast
Here Comes Your Man by Pixies
Go With The Flow by Queens of the Stone Age

We can also tell you that SingStar's support for the new PlayStation Eye camera (we're now told that the original EyeToy will be supported) is pretty slick. At this evening's event, players were invited to sing along to their favorite tracks while the new PlayStation Eye recorded their performances for posterity. In addition to decent quality video of the players, the camera also snapped a series of around 10 stills during the song, one of which you'll be able to set as the thumbnail image for the clip. Those clips can then be uploaded to your "My SingStar Online" profile which, if everything goes according to SCEA's plan, will be one of countless such profiles that form a giant online, and active community.
As a member of said community you'll be able to share your clips with friends, and check out other players' profiles in much the same way that you would on a social networking website. Another feature, which we understand is currently under consideration, will be the ability to rate other players' video performances so that the really good ones end up featuring more prominently on SingStar's equivalent of a homepage. Simple "quick polls" that ask the community to vote for their favorite songs and artists are in the works as well, and their results will presumably help Sony to pick and choose which songs to add to the SingStore. We were afforded a brief look at the SingStore, incidentally, and can tell you that the "hundreds of songs" promised for day one will almost certainly have a little something for everybody. Among the genres that are already represented on the work-in-progress version of the SingStore are pop, rap, RnB, indie/alternative, and soundtracks. Song packs from previous SingStar games will also be made available, of course.
There's really not a whole lot else to say about SingStar at this point. It does everything that its popular predecessors do, but it does it in HD, it does it online, and it does it with an ever-growing song selection that we're assured won't break the bank. As announced this evening, SingStar will be released in North America on November 13. We look forward to bringing you more information on the game as soon as it becomes available.

Travelzoo's context-less Twitter chat shows importance of hashtags
Bargain travel brand Travelzoo committed a Twitter sin this week after bombarding followers' feeds with a string on seemingly incoherent tweets about topics decidedly unrelated to travel.
The company was conducting a live Twitter chat with Olympian Sarah Storey, who was also guest editing the site for the day. No doubt the move was designed to introduce a more personable and timely element to the brand's social presence, and once the requisite sport questions were out the way, much of the discussion hinged around travel.
However, despite touting hashtag #AskSarahStorey to followers prior to the chat's kick-off at 3.30pm, the following deluge of tweets from the brand were hashtag-less, meaning its 12,000 followers were subjected to odd and context-less updates such as 'A26 – continued involvement and support for all sport'. Eh?
Only one hour and 60 tweets later did the hashtag reappear, and some context was given as to what had just transpired.
Anyone logging on during that period would have been at a loss as to what was going on, confused as to why Travelzoo was bombarding their news feed with seemingly bizarre tweets. Not good for the brand image, regardless of the interesting chat at hand.
So for live Twitter chats, use a hashtag or risk alienating your audience. This has been a public service announcement.

What´s your current list you are working on? What is Wenthworth´s position? So eager to hear the result ;-) And post his phone number too. LOL.
What´s your current list you are working on? What is Wenthworth´s position? So eager to hear the result ;-) And post his phone number too. LOL.
The 'current list' is just the first 20 or so, the full list is every name that's been requested, in sequential order (I think Wentworth might be number 23?).
I gotta stress that this is a time-consuming process, but I promise to get to everyone you guys ask (as long as you've read my rules in the OP and submit the names properly ).
Again, all of the information is either stuff I personally know, or have found out from friends, coworkers, and contacts from all corners of the industry. Basically, gossip that doesn't come from the gossip industry.
I hope you guys DO realize how the majority of rumors and gossip are developed in the tabloid world, right? You DO know who all those "unnamed sources" are, right?
LEE PACE!!!! (The most adorable man ever)
5) Frankie Muniz
Um...Frankie's straight. Not really much else to report.
Aw, don't look so sad Frankie! C'mon, bro hug...
Oooooooo........how about Lil 'lijah?....... .......WOOD

Jamie Bell?
I have a friend from a few years back who claims to have had a relationship with him on the sly while staying in London. This was around the same time the Thames flooded. While I think my friend may have been delusional, you never know.
Another just occurred to me........Ryan Seacrest........he has such.......interesting lips.......
Based upon this clue, I am going to recklessly conclude that you, sir, are in fact... Justin Long!
Who's in commercials? Justin Long.
When someone misidentified Justin Long as Jason Long, you quickly corrected him. Who would do that? Justin Long.
Furthermore, and with even less evidence, I am going to reveal that your closeted actor friend, whose previous gay experiences you are loathe to share with us for fear of outing him, is in fact none other than ...Neil Patrick Harris!
Or maybe Cheyenne Jackson.
But he said that he was more behind the camera now and Justin has no behind the camera credits on IMDB.
NPH has been out for a while and clearly isn't who he is refering to.
No. No. No. Illgetbi is actually Justin Berfield and the closeted actor friend he doesn't want to out is Frankie Muniz. Its just that simple.
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
*Sigh* Do people really need those emoticon things to be able to tell when I'm being overly melodramatic and sarcastic for comedic effect?
For the joke to work, I was picking someone who clearly made no attempt to hide the fact that they are gay, like NPH, Cheyenne Jackson, or Ryan Seacrest.
Very well. IGB is no more Justin Long than I am Kathy Griffin...
...or am I?
Thread seems to lean towards a side-line.
Got me holding my breath for a second there...
this thread is lame... you never answer if someone is gay or not, your answers are like'' too soon to tell'' ''maybe'' etc, you said you know people etc so you know which celebs are str8 bi gay but i don't think you actually do know anything!!! you just wanted to make people post replies to your thread!!! i'm sorry if i'm rude but i feel like being fooled in front of my eyes!
You must be in a good humor if you "feel like being fooled". Most people don't want it, but you do.
As for the rest of it, he actually has answered. With some he has to dig in and doesn't have an immediate answer. Sorry that you are rude, but you are also impatient. How old are you, five?
You may feel like being fooled, but I feel like making love to my partner, when he wakes up.
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
stop the in between posts (like this one)....just make a request/post the pic and let the guy answer the question- all the talk has made this thread twice as long as it has to be.....
How about "90210" star Matt Lanter? Is he gay or bi?
Edit: I removed the Matt Lanter pictures because images of him are prohibited on JUB.
But can you still answer the question, please??
Last edited by RLSteve; June 26th, 2010 at 06:35 PM. Reason: Matt Lanter photos prohibited
The Rock
Alright, I can't ignore the elephant in the room any more. Eventually, someone is going to ask. Might as well be me.
Joe Jonas
If I might, I'd like to ask you another one oh almighty IGB.
Seann William Scott, please
The Rock has been married to lady for some time
Burt Reynolds
Jean-Claude Van Damme
Vin Diesel
this is a fun thread......the who is/who isn't? game is always big here in hollywood...even the check out ladies at my market are hip to who's who............when you are a working member of the industry, you must be quiet, though, indiscretion is still a sin...and you never want a story traced back to your big mouth.....
i'm retired...so i can collaborate (unasked,of course)....certain homosexuals (as opposed to gays).....tom cruise, (duh),john travolta, kevin spacey, george cloony, leonardo di caprio,hugh jackman,....the guy who player cyclops in X-Men (can't think of his name, and i looove him)....jared leto (bi, but) michael weiss (boy that's dropping to c list really fast), doug sills, nicholas gonzales (greatly underappreciated) esai morales,george chakiris, jonny mathis (remember them)....non actors baz luhrman, barry diller (i was at fox when mr. diller and scott rudin were running things, people said board meetings were like a night at the baths), but we're not really interested in them..it's the beauties we love................so let's hope all the forum folks choose men, our host has the hottest dish on.....
Hmmm. Is this guy still pretending he can give you actual 100% true answers?
am i giving 100% accurate info,or is the thread host?
dude, no bad feelings, i'm happy that i found someone who agrees with me that's why i replied, and i still read the replies in this thread hoping to find a real answer but i don't see this happening, you don't have the right to tell me where to reply and where not if you don't like my replies refrain from replying to them!
I took it as a joke thread, only now I see the OP actually believes he/she can tell you the truth, cute, but dumb.
As for the other comments, A post on a forum has good, and negative replies... Telling people where they can't post, or can is the job of an admin, or moderator alone.
I'm not going to continue this because it'll just further congest this thread and would there in be counter-productive. But you are absolutely right in your assertion that you have every right to stand here and be Debbie Downers. I'm simply going to say that I don't understand the point. If this isn't fun to you then why come here and prevent others from having some lighthearted fun by clogging up the forum with silly negative comments and complaints about things that are clearly meant to be just light gossipy fun.
^ If there was a "THANK YOU" button here I'd use it for your post....... .......
Indeed! It saves me from posting the same remark. Why come in and diss a thread because it doesn't give you the answers you WANT to hear? All I'll say, is that having been in entertainment marketing and management since 1985 - you're getting some pretty good answers so far! - and some of the other posters aren't too far off the mark - its not always 'wishful thinking'....
Thanks quasar!
And to the bitchers, to explain why I haven't posted any further updates/answers over the last two days...well I'm having a nice fucking relaxing weekend, thank you very much!
the idea that this thread is silly,is debatable...i'm confused more of you haven't asked the thread host for his contacts....if you're in the industry long enough, it's like a lovable messed up family.......and if you follow the right leads, the sources can be genuine..........like here......
for info, start with the people closest to the star...surprisingly that is' hair and make-up',.... these morning miss maybellines are the 1st to get the star,early,......when' mr. i'm only making 10 million of this piece of shit' stumbles in, grumbles his 'mornings'....who better to comfort and 'cheer' the star up? these delicate powder puffs sure knows what goes bump in the a.m.............and procurement goes far beyond that...only a foolish star would be in a downtown LA alley, past sunset....and these make-up artists deliver...
harder to crack, but equally well informed are the costume designers and costumers...you may have to keep on buying those cocktails at the MotherLode bar, but a guy who knows his way around a closet, will spill, like few others, when shit faced,..... their loyal and submissive masks drop like a quick-change....and the gay costumers are much better looking than their hair compats, so the star is more likely to have alot of fittings in his trailer.......
agents and managers, used to be fun and forthright, but that's over...they don't want people to ruin their gravy train star's career...............forget the obvious craft service, they may know how much non-fat milk the star likes in his coffee, but are clueless about the cream....and they're mostly girls now, so they may dish, plates, but don't know much else.............
now, personal trainers have become ground zero for facts........we all love our muscles, but unfortunately, they are smart enough to zip their lips, and they don't drink much (it'll add body fat!), so if you're lucky enough to be one's boyfriend, get ready to 'share',and be grateful for the lowdown, downlow.....
yes publicity has to know all, because they have to be ready with the 'story', when the star slips up, and the media rushes in(i remember long ago a story on rita hayworth's heavy drinking-she actually had alzheimers- the reporter went thru her trash in a beverly hills alley)...........and they really do have to invent these stars, so discression is mandatory in order to keep up the image....unless they are retired and fun........then let er rip.....
lastly,look into all service industries.......a trolly dolly flight attendant is tied into a world-wide web of informants, er friends...........just wait until the next one you know says'guess who i had on my flight the other day?' since it's all 1st class,all the way, these sky goddesses are the ones to pour too much champagne, slip some xanax-'for a little sleep'.......-flirt, and ask leading questions................and they are very handsome, are hard to pin down,and no one believes them anyway................
see, it's easy.....................just because i'm nosy,doesn't make me a criminal...and this 'game'won't end for a long time............how many times have i had someone (outside the biz), say' stop saying such mean things about those people'...........now, i'm gay,and i like it, and telling a few stories about my compadres is not mean...........it's as close to the truth as they'll ever know....
oooh.....hands off your thread!
LOL, i'm only teasing
got it............it's just the 'fart sniffing' ,i've never heard that before................
Well this is quickly drifted the wrong way so we'll try to get it redirected with some smoking hot pictures and a name that I'm suspect will result in a resounding no.
It's worth asking about Ryan Reynolds though just so I can post his pictures
It's never too early in the year,
to spread some goodwill cheer!
yes, with nicholas, remember to talk to those who knew them before he was famous, and ,perhaps, that he was photographed at gay pride with his boyfriend, long time ago....and esai, well i've met him,and that look in his eye was wolfish, and the designer on the show filled me in....
I'm confused. Who is this guy again who is suppose to know if so and so is gay? I didn't look through every page cause I found the first page and this page senseless. What is the game again? I don't get what's going on here.

In our household we eat:
-- Red Potatoes with peelings in potato salid -- Eat out at a steak house that has red mashed potatoes with peelings -- Eat baked brown potatoes, peelings and all -- Eat out at a hamburger joint that serves very good potato chips made from potatoes with peelings Yet many people would never ever consider eating potato peelings. My parents would have had a fit if one suggested any unpeeled part of a potato. I breakfast with seniors, some of whom will remove a french fry with a bit of peeling on the tip. I wonder why. When did some habits change? |
