A Fond Farewell
UAB Community Says Goodbye to Gene BartowGene Bartow, UAB's first basketball coach and athletic director, was laid to rest in funeral services on Monday, January 9, 2012. Among the hundreds who gathered at Vestavia Hills United Methodist Church were former players and coaches from the many stops of Bartow's coaching career, as well as representatives from the NBA's Memphis Grizzlies, where Bartow worked as president for the past 10 years. During the service, eulogies were given by Murry Bartow on behalf of the Bartow family, former Birmingham News sports writer Wayne Martin, and longtime UAB broadcaster Gary Sanders. Below is a transcript of the three eulogies honoring a man who will forever be remembered as the father of UAB athletics. (Murry was joined in the pulpit by his brother Mark Bartow and sister Beth Long.) Proverbs 22:1 reads, "If you must choose, take a good name rather than great riches, for he knows that loving esteem is better than silver and gold." My dad loved people. He treated people the right way. He never met a stranger. He had time for everyone. The great thing was, he didn't care how much money you had, what your position was, or what your title was. He just truly, genuinely liked people. He loved his interaction with people, and he had a great way of making people feel very special, very important. He was an unusually good man. He touched a lot of lives and had so many great friends. This is a sad day, but we do want this day to be a great celebration of life and what he meant for so many people and what an incredible life he had. Today I want to speak on behalf of my brother Mark, my sister Beth, and the entire Bartow family. My mom has been the rock of our family for a lot of years—60 years—and she has obviously heightened that over the last two and a half years. She has been incredible with my dad and with our family. As we prepared for this day with my dad, he talked about a lot of different things, but the two things he kept bringing up were, number one he said, "You'd better start it on time." And number two, he didn't want a lot of speakers, didn't want a lot of fanfare. He gave Gary and I and Wayne very strict time limits on how long we could speak. I got a little longer than Gary and Wayne, but he was very adamant that he wanted to start on time and he wanted to get people in and out very quickly. I think that says a lot about who he was. The second thing that he was adamant about was his former players—and we've got a lot of them here today. He was concerned about everybody and where they sat, but he kept coming back to his former players. And he was concerned about his assistant coaches and was concerned about a lot of people, but he wanted to make sure his former players were in these front pews. I think that says a lot about who he was. He was very loyal. I think one of his greatest qualities was loyalty. He was very loyal to his family to his friends, very loyal to UAB when he could have taken some other jobs along the way. More than anybody I know, he was incredibly loyal. I never heard him say a bad word about a former player. He loved his players at all of his stops along the way, and that's why he wanted those guys to have the best seats here. And again I think that says a lot about who he was. He was a great player's coach. I played for my dad, and I think we can all attest to the fact that he wasn't a big yeller, a big screamer. I'm not sure I've ever heard my dad say a bad word, but he certainly knew how to get the most out of his players. He made each player feel special, made each player feel important, made each player feel like he had a big role within the framework of that team. He was a very competitive coach—a very gentle man, but a very very competitive coach. He was a great recruiter, a great motivator, and I see that when I look at his career and see all the wins, and now trying to follow in his footsteps, which is not easy. But he was an incredible builder of programs. If you look all the way back to his days as a high school coach, I think one of his fondest memories is the state championship when he was at St. Charles High School back in Missouri in the late 50s. But he was an incredible builder of programs. And then he went on to college at Central Missouri. He loved his time in Warrensburg. And then on to Valparaiso. He had six great years there at Valpo, and we had a great time with him there and he really loved his days there and had some great teams. On to Memphis State. The third year there playing in the national championship game, and I know we have a lot of those guys here today. That was a great team and one of his fondest memories. The Memphis days were, I think, four of his funnest memories as a coach. He's got very fond memories of Memphis and being at Memphis State. The one year at Illinois, the two years following coach Wooden at UCLA, and then obviously on to Birmingham back in the late 70s to start the UAB program. And he loved Birmingham, he loved UAB, was very loyal to UAB and was a great advocate and ambassador for UAB. But to do what he did, it took the help of a lot of people—great players, great coaches, some fabulous presidents. Great vice presidents. Lot of great people and support, but he was the one who was able to make it all go and pull it off. Year number three being in the Sweet Sixteen and year number four to be in the Elite Eight. It's mind-boggling to me as a coach to even think about that, to win so quickly and always do it the right way, which is the way he did it. My dad was a very humble man, a very simple man, a very genuine man, a very compassionate man. I've never been around a better people person than my dad. He was so good with people. He was very likable. It didn't matter if he was at Bartow Arena in the Golden 100 Room, working that room or at the FedEx Forum working with the Grizzlies, or hanging out down at Full Moon with Joe and his group of friends down there, which he loved. He was just a great great people person. I've got great memories of my dad, and as a kid, it was very cool to be the son of Gene Bartow. I think of all the camps I went to and playing golf as much as I did with my father. It was pretty cool being at UCLA and meeting coach Wooden and being around him and being a ball boy at UCLA. I Remember all the trips we took to Puerto Rico with our family when he coached over there. But I have great memories of being a kid and being the son of Gene Bartow. I'll smile at my memories when I think of my dad. And I think one of his fondest places he loved to be was the desert. I know he loved to be out there with my mom. He was a great man of routine, and he would take his walk and lie by the pool and play golf with his buddies out in the desert, and I'll smile when I think of those memories. I'll smile when I think of his last 10 years with the Memphis Grizzlies. He loved Mr. Heisley, the owner of the Grizzlies, who is here today. He had a great 10-year run with the Grizzlies and he really appreciated those times. I'll smile when I think of my dad in the family room of our house playing with the grandkids. I don't know how many of you have played the matching card game, but it wasn't my dad's best game, where you have the cards face down and you have to flip one card over at a time and then match them. He would inevitably get beat every time in that game, but then the fierce competitor would come out, and he would challenge them to a game of checkers. And he was a big-time checker player. I'm not sure the grandkids ever beat him in checkers. He was a great dad, a great grandfather, obviously an incredible husband to my mom. We'll all have great memories. I want to say some quick thank yous. I want to thank Dr. Carol Garrison, Brian Mackin, Steve Mitchell, and Reid Adair. I thought the visitation yesterday was really overwhelming. It was well done and what my dad wanted and what our family wanted. The things people said were great. I want to thank the doctors at UAB and the nurses. I don't want to start naming names, or I'll get myself in trouble. But incredible doctors at UAB, incredible nurses, and we had some incredible caregivers at the house. Drew Ferguson, I do want to mention him by name because he was with my dad at the hospital a lot of the time. Dr. Sutton, I do want to mention by name. He is such a close friend of our family, and he gave us so much guidance and so much comfort. I also want to thank all of you. Also, I want to thank all of you. And I really mean this very sincerely, I think that the cards the letters, the prayers, were just overwhelming. And I hope some of you don't mind, but we read many of those letters. I know some of them were personal in nature, but they just blew us away with the things you had to say to my dad. But I really believe the calls, the letters, the prayers did two things. I really believe they prolonged his life. And I think they improved the quality of his life. Because I know how he'd feel when he'd get the calls and the letters, and obviously, a lot of you played a part in that. Mark, Beth, and I are very proud of all the awards, a lot of wins, a lot of trophies, a lot of awards, 10 halls of fame. We're very proud of that. But we're most proud of the person he was, the lives he touched, and the way he did it. And we're just incredibly proud of the difference he made in our lives and so many lives. Mark, Beth, and I are so lucky to have been raised in a Christian home and so lucky to have Gene and Ruth Bartow as parents, and I know today in my heart that my dad's now in a better place, thanks be to God. Back to top So many big wins. So many exciting games. Who could forget Glenn Marcus hitting all those free throws down the stretch to beat Kentucky at Tuscaloosa, or Andy Kennedy scoring 41 against St. Louis? Who doesn't remember UAB completely frustrating Virginia and Ralph Sampson? The only two players who played every minute of that game were Chris Giles and Oliver Robinson. And of course, there's the memory of Robert Shannon draining a 3 that nailed the door shut against Alabama at Coleman Coliseum. One thing those games, and so many more, had in common for me was that when they were over, for just a moment, I sat behind my typewriter and wondered, "How in the world can I put into words anything that will do justice to the game I just saw?" Multiply that by a hundred, or a thousand, and you come close to understanding how I feel about trying to put into words anything that will do justice to the life, legacy, and memory of Gene Bartow. I rode with him several times over the last few years to see the Grizzlies play in Memphis. On the way home one night, just as we hit the Interstate at the Mississippi line, I asked him how he got into coaching. For the next couple of hours, as we rode across Mississippi and Alabama heading toward midnight, he talked about his journey from Browning, Missouri, to Birmingham, Alabama. Somewhere around New Albany or Tupelo I remember him saying. "My goal at first was not to be a great college coach. My goal was to be the very best coach Shelbina High School ever had." Then he said, "You know, I think I'm one of the luckiest coaches in the world. It seemed every time I moved to a new school I would move into a situation where they had some really great players, and we would win." I'm sitting there driving and thinking, "Coach, I've seen you work. It wasn't luck." His legacy is surely wins; more than 900 of them in high school and college basketball; with national teams in the Olympics and Pan Am Games, and exhibitions with college All-Star teams around the world. But wins aside, perhaps his greatest legacy is his impact on individual lives at every stop along the way. Some of my best memories have little to do with the actual games. A flight out of Los Angeles at 1 a.m., that landed in Dallas as dawn broke, then Jackson, Mississippi, and the excitement of comedian Jerry Clower when he boarded in Jackson and found he was on the same plane with Gene Bartow. Sitting in a restaurant in Oklahoma City when Ken Trickey stopped by and listening to their stories of recruited against each other when Coach was at Memphis State and Trickey at Oral Roberts. Going to a Grizzlies game, or to lunch at Full Moon or The Fish Market or Nickie's, and being amazed at how many people there knew Coach, and even more amazed at how many of those who didn't know him just wanted to speak to him, or shake his hand. He was a special coach. He was a special person. And he was special to everyone from the greatest to the smallest. I went by to see Coach in early October after he had stopped treatment. He wasn't in pain and was alert, but so very, very weak. As he struggled to get comfortable, he said, "You know, when the quality of life is gone, there just isn't much left." I said, "Coach, I believe with all my heart that this life we're living here is just the shootaround." For those who aren't familiar with the term, a shootaround is just a warmup session on the morning of game day. I said to Coach, "I believe comparing the life we have here to what God has prepared for us is like comparing a shootaround to the greatest basketball game ever played." He looked at me, nodded and said, "I believe that too." In the last few years I have come to realize that sometimes God's miracle may not be a miracle of healing, but instead a miracle of extra time. In the Old Testament book of Isaiah, it says, "Then came the word of the Lord to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: Behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years." God didn't bless Coach with 15 extra years, just three. But I think that perhaps the greater blessing was for Ruth, for Mark and Murry and Beth, and for the grandchildren. They were blessed by God's miracle of extra time with Coach. And that blessing of extra time with coach extended to me and Gary, to Brian Mackin and the people at UAB, and to each of you. And it extended to people who knew and loved him from Birmingham to Memphis to Missouri, and literally around the world. Thank you, Coach. Back to top It was in spring of 1978, I was called into my boss's office at Channel 13. He wanted my opinion on a proposal presented to us by the new UAB basketball coach, Gene Bartow. That began a relationship that continued through his 18 seasons as UAB coach, the additional years as athletic director after leaving coaching, and the 11 years after his retirement to the present day. When someone asked me what do I do as director of broadcasting for the UAB Blazers, I'd say, "I do whatever Coach Bartow wants me to do." And that continues today. It was coach's choice that a longtime newspaper reporter and the radio voice of the Blazers be speakers as we wish him farewell. "Gary," he said, "don't mention names." There are so many great players whose efforts he appreciated. Assistant coaches who labored with him to create an outstanding basketball program. Valued assistant athletic directors who helped build from scratch a major athletic program. "Do mention Dick Hill and Jerry Young," he said. "They're the ones who really created UAB athletics." Well, I respectfully disagree with Coach on that. I think Dr. Hill and Dr. Young brought Gene Bartow to UAB, and he built a program that went from not owning a basketball to seven straight NCAA Tournaments, with wins over Kentucky, Indiana, and Ralph Sampson's Virginia Cavaliers in the program's first four years of existence. The late Dr. Hill once said that as UAB president, he thought his two most significant hires were Dr. Kirklin and Coach Bartow. Remember the UAB 1, UCLA 0 bumper sticker that Dr. Hill was so proud of? It's my opinion that no one else, no one else could have done what Coach Bartow did. He got the quality players, top assistant coaches, big time schedule, and important to me, radio and TV sponsors. Only Gene Bartow had that rare combination of personality, talent, loyalty and toughness that was required to do such a job. I have so many happy memories of games, trips and shows that we worked together. In the early years, it seemed to me that the coach was really better known than the university. Out of town papers often said "Bartow's team is coming." Not UAB. And in the second season of our program, we drove into the gameday shootaround with Oklahoma City only to see a billboard saying, "Tonight the Chiefs versus Alabama." Well, while the players shot and the coaches coached, the broadcaster went down to the building office and pointed out that yes we were from Alabama, but that was not our name. That night when we returned for the game, the billboard said, "Tonight, the Chiefs versus Bartow's Blazers." It was most unusual for a basketball man to start a football program, but coach did ask me to mention two other names when we talked about football—president Scotty McCallum and vice president Dudley Pewitt. They supported his desire to start a football program despite some opposition. Like you, I have seen plans for an on-campus football stadium, and I'd like to make a suggestion right now that to join Bartow Arena, Bartow Stadium has a nice ring to it. If ever a basketball man deserved to have a football stadium named after him, it's right here, right now. Coach often told me how much he appreciated his position as president of the Memphis Grizzlies of the NBA after his retirement, made possible by Grizzlies owner Mike Heisley, who is here today. He had 10 great years with the Grizzlies, and I wish you could have had the experience I had of walking around the FedEx Forum in Memphis with Coach Bartow. Many times I would walk with him, and we were up on the third level one time, and a man was mopping the floor. He stopped, put the mop down, and said "Coach Bartow, Coach Bartow," and just fell all over Gene, and Gene was very nice to him. We literally went 10 steps around the corner, and we ran into the mayor of Memphis. And he said, "Coach Bartow, Coach Bartow," and fell all over him. From the man mopping the floor to the mayor of the city, they loved Gene in Memphis. Gene and Ruth also told me how much they loved Memphis. And they did, but they also loved Birmingham, and they made this city their home. He was my boss, he was a person I greatly admired, he was my friend. Godspeed, Coach Bartow. You will always be remembered. More InformationUAB Athletics Remembers Gene Bartow Former Players Recall Bartow's Intensity, Compassion Back to top |
UAB Gurney Derby Champs Share their Secrets to Success
It's a dynasty in the making. At the 2010 UAB Gurney Derby, a team of first-year students from the School of Dentistry calling themselves Mixed Dentition took the top slot, outrunning teams from all over campus as they raced to victory. One year later, Mixed Dentition (above, on the way to a decisive win in its first heat) came back with the same four runners, and once again left with the victory. They already plan to be back for another victory in 2012. (See a video of this year's event here.)
For decades, the Gurney Derby has been one of UAB's most popular Homecoming traditions. Teams of four—each must have two men and two women—race down a cordoned-off stretch of 13th Avenue South and back to the starting line while pushing a retired hospital gurney.
Teams representing the university's professional schools often do well in the race—the fact that they have a few additional years of muscle, and guile, built up over the undergraduates may play a role. But there are other key factors involved in coming home with the crown, say the members of Mixed Dentition.
Here the dentists-in-training share their tips for cleaning up on the competition.
Tip 1: Pick the right gurney.
The gurneys come out of hospital storage and are delivered to the starting line on the morning of the event. Like shopping carts, some tend to pull to one side, or have balky wheels. The Mixed Dentition crew (left to right: Ashley Tate, Matt Gibson, McKennna Rhea, and Jordan Taylor) arrives well in advance of the start time in order to get a good one.
Mixed Dentition picked well. In fact, they bettered their 2010 time by nearly two seconds, winning in 28.37 seconds this year, compared to a time of 30.27 last year.
Tip 2: Choose a light passenger.
An inanimate passenger must occupy each gurney, but teams who are interested in winning know they need to keep the weight down. Mixed Dentition (that's Rhea, Gibson, Tate, and Taylor, now that they have their helmets off and you can see them better) pushes Ernie from Sesame Street.
Even with a featherweight rider, sprinting flat-out twice—once during the heats and once in the final round—isn't easy. Here, Mixed Dentition members catch their breath after the first race.
Tip 3: Wear uniforms.
Most Gurney Derby teams aim to make a splash with their outfits. (Too Fast, Too Femorous: The Tibial Drifts, a team from the School of Health Professions, shown above, came in second in the 2011 Derby.)
Mixed Dentition opts for the standard-issue uniform they wear every day—scrubs, bunched up under their kneepads for full freedom of movement. "The scrubs give us power," says Taylor.
Tip 4: Bring a support team.
The raucous crowd on 13th Avenue is eager to support all the runners, but having a specialized cheering section helps.
Fellow dental students join Mixed Dentition to celebrate for the cameras after their win.
Tip 5: Use your head.
Do the members of Mixed Dentition practice in the weeks leading up to the Gurney Derby? "Every Saturday—we even flew in former Derby winners to work with us," jokes Matt Gibson, before denying that the team does any pre-race training. Still, Mixed Dentition does have some specific tactics that it is not willing to divulge (although it's possible they can be deduced from the race pictures above).
"Last year, our win was all heart," says Taylor. "This year it was all strategy."
Sell It With Soap
Radio Dramas Tell Public Health Stories
By Jo Lynn Orr
Serialized melodramas—called soaps or soap operas because they once were sponsored by soap and detergent manufacturers—have been a popular staple of American broadcasting since the 1930s, first on radio and then television. Soaps resonate with audiences because they feature a permanent cast of characters who grapple with the types of challenging family and health problems that most people confront at some point in their lives. They also rely on the five Cs of a good story—character, change, crisis, choice, and consequences—which keeps audiences tuning in to find out how events are unfolding.
Because of their broad audience appeal, some public health experts have adopted the soap-opera format as a vehicle for communicating important health messages to targeted audiences. One UAB researcher, Connie Kohler, Dr.P.H., a professor in the Department of Health Behavior at the School of Public Health, teamed with Media for Health, a nonprofit entertainment-education organization in Birmingham, to create a radio drama that targeted the African-American community with important health messages about nutrition, coping with stress, and confronting diabetes and heart disease—two chronic diseases that disproportionately affect blacks. Called BodyLove, which also was the name of the beauty salon where the action took place, the award-winning soap first aired in 2003 on WJLD in Birmingham and ran for more than five years.
Roll With It
In Step with UAB's New Bowling Coach
By Grant Martin
Michelle Carcagente Crews has spent much of her life hanging around in alleys. She bowled her first game at age 3, was named a collegiate All-American at the University of Central Florida, and earned a spot on Junior Team USA. This summer, Crews was selected to lead UAB's latest athletics endeavor as the first coach of the university's women's bowling team, which will begin practice in October.
Speaking by phone from a tournament in Las Vegas, Nevada, where she was scouting potential recruits for the fledgling Blazer program, Crews talked with UAB Magazine about introducing her new hometown to the sport of strikes, spares, and the occasional sour apple.
UAB Magazine: You were born in Long Island, New York, and grew up in Florida. Did you have any connection to Birmingham or to UAB prior to accepting the job of bowling coach?
Michelle Crews: I actually had never been in Alabama at all, so I wasn't very familiar with the university or the city before this job became available. I've always known I wanted to work in the bowling industry in some way, but I also wanted to be in a place where I would be comfortable living and raising a family. As my husband, Jimmy, and I began to explore the city and learn more about the university, we realized that both Birmingham and UAB have all the things we were looking for.
I really like the size of the school and the fact that it has high academic standards. It's a place that I think will be very attractive to recruits—especially someone with interest in the medical field.
Also, my husband works for a medical supply company and is on the amateur staff of one of the bowling companies, so Birmingham is an ideal location for us.
UAB Magazine: Although most people have bowled recreationally or even in leagues, many in this area may not be familiar with college bowling. What are some basic things UAB fans will need to know to follow the team?
MC: Practice begins in October, and the NCAA championships are in April, so even though bowling is considered a winter sport, our season lasts for most of the school year.
The number of people on the team usually ranges from about seven to as many as 15. It's just up to the coach and what the school's budget allows. I feel like eight is an ideal number. Only five can compete at a time in a match, but you can travel with up to eight, so having eight people on the team will mean that everyone gets the experience of traveling and being at the tournaments. It always helps to have a backup or two in the wings in case of injury or other circumstances. I think that helps a lot as young players become upperclassmen to have really been a part of the team and to build a family-type atmosphere.
There will be some matches against individual teams, but most of the events we participate in will be multiteam tournaments. A team has to participate in eight events to be eligible for the NCAA championships, so we'll definitely have eight events scheduled, and I hope to eventually get up to 12 or more.
UAB Magazine: When you're scouting teenage bowlers, what do you look for, other than high bowling scores?
How to Train Your Dragon
Getting Inside the Head of UAB's Mascot
By Caperton Gillett
IT ISN'T EASY TO DANCE WITH ABANDON while wearing a 10-pound dragon head. But for those brave souls who think they have what it takes to don the mantle of Blaze—UAB's costumed mascot—showtime comes each spring, when UAB Spirit Groups leader David Gilliland auditions hopefuls for the coveted role of "Blaze handler"—the official name for the men and women inside the costume.
Wannabe Blazes must prepare original skits with music, dancing, and props to demonstrate their versatility, sense of humor, athleticism, and—most of all—showmanship to prove they're dragon enough to represent UAB.
"Blaze is expected to attend every football game, every men's and women's home basketball game, and a few other sporting events when requested," Gilliland says. In addition, "Blaze probably attends more special events than games," from nonprofit fundraisers to campus spirit events to a memorable visit to the Rick and Bubba Mascot Challenge, where the dragon clocked 6.5 seconds for the 40-yard dash and a respectable third-place finish. "It is important that Blaze always represents UAB in a positive manner," Gilliland says. But what does that entail?

How to Smoke a Brisket
I was just reading a four page discussion about how to cook brisket on the BBQ Breathren forum, which is an awesome place to talk 'cue. They referenced our brisket, so I chimed in with a long list of things we've learned about cooking brisket. I thought that some of the folks on our site might be interested, so I'm reposting my response here. It was written hastily, so I'm sure it's filled with errors. Still, might be helpful to some.
My response from Briskets: Separating the "good" from the "transcendent" a thread on the BBQ Breathren forum.
Hi All -
I was just poking around and saw this thread, and saw my brisket... so I thought I'd chime in. Maybe this will be helpful... maybe not. But here's what we do:
First, there seems to be a lot of talk about the grade of brisket. What I can tell you is that the best quality brisket that I've been able to cook have been choice. Not prime. In my personal experience, prime packs a bit too much fat, and doesn't render as well. The briskets we use are also called 'natural' - which is sort of a strange term, because it means something different to every company that stamps the word on the side of their box. The two words that seem to be universal, however, is 'hormone free' and 'antibiotic free.' The hormone free is probably the most important one for me. It seems less growth hormones mean smaller cows, and smaller briskets, which I prefer. For natural sourcing, I've used beef from Creekstone, Meyer, and Niman. Meyer and Niman only produce 'natural' beef, Creekstone has a natural and a commodity line.
To trim we cut all but about 1/4 an inch of fat off the flat, remove the divot of tough fat near the connection of the flat and the point, on the topside of the brisket. We trim off excess fat at the very tip of the point and running along the side. If any bits of muscle seem grey or dry, cut them off. On the side, you might notice a large channel of fat running between the flat and the point. It's generally pretty tough stuff. I find that it's smaller on the naturals, and can be massive on commodity beef. You can cut some of this out, but understand that if you do, it will increase the surface area of the brisket, could potentially alter the cook time, and might make it ugly, which is the worst. If you're using a small brisket, this channel shouldn't be super large. If it is, you can cut a bit away, but I wouldn't fuss with it too much. It's better to just cut it out during service. On the underside, you might have a giant wedge of nasty connective tissue and fat. Just lob that whole thing out. It's useless. Also, we like briskets under 12lbs, and like to see a nice thick flat, with a good layer of fat. Also, a minimal slope between the flat and point is best. It'll cook more evenly.
For rub, we just use salt and pepper. Specifically we get whole Tellicherry peppercorns and run them through an old BUNN coffee grinder, then pass that through a sieve - the dusty pepper debris is used for other cooking at the restaurant, while the nice large bits go into our rub. We do this daily. We also use Morton's kosher salt. You can use Diamond too, but understand that the salinity is higher, and the crystals are smaller, so you'll have to adjust your rub. I'd suggest starting at 50/50 by weight, and adjust to your taste from there. Also, always do rubs by weight. Volume is worthless if you want to be consistent.
Season the meat as you see fit. For our beef ribs, we use like, a half a teaspoon of rub on a whole rib. Basically nothing. For briskets, we pack it on. Not all places do. Some go sparingly, others dredge. Total preference. Next, we let the brisket sit in the for a day or two (depending on the size), to let some of the salinity penetrate and to form a pellicle. Then it's time to smoke.
I think this is the hardest thing to talk about. Every day at the restaurant folks will ask what temperature we cook at. I have no problem disclosing, but I feel that I'm doing a disservice because our temperatures are what our smoker needs to work well, and one size doesn't fit all. I used to have a small kettle smoker, and and then a mid-sized offset from Home Depot. Both needed an entirely different set of time and temperatures. What I can say is this. The bigger smoker, the easier it will be to net a great product. Smaller smokers tend to have thinner the walls which will lead to tons of fluctuation during the cook. Fluctuation sucks. Your briskets hate it, and so will your guests. So, if you can get an insulated smoker, get one. If not, try putting some bricks on and around your firebox, or wrap the whole thing in metal insulation. You can throw firesafe moving blankets over the cook chamber. The point is, hold the heat in. Get creative. But understand that holding heat isn't the same as cutting off airflow and oxygen. You should allow your fire to get the oxygen it needs or it will start to smolder and produce acrid smoke. Not tasty.
Ok, on to the cook:
We start cooking at a low temperature, which will make your wood smoke more. The pellicle will help trap the smoke. We use wood aged for about one and a half years. We use all white oak, no charcoal or lighter fluid. The wood is pretty dry stuff. It burns really clean. Not much silty smoke. We'll go low for a few hours, maybe 4 depending on the size of the briskets, then we'll crank the heat into the 250 - 260's for another 4, and will finally go up to 310 - 325. We also wrap our briskets with butcher paper when they get a nice color. Wrapping them tightly will hold in more moisture and induce a bit of a braise, wrap them loose and the paper will release more fat. Up to you. That last cycle at the end seems that it would burn the briskets, and maybe if you have a small smoker it will, so be careful, but for us it actually sort of cauterizes the meat. It allows us to sear the outside, which I've found helps retain more moisture on the inside, especially in the flat. When it's done we'll let them breath for a moment on the smoker, then I'll rest them for around 4 hours before we serve them. Save the butcher paper, you can use it to light the fire next time.
It should also be said that I like to serve super tender brisket. Many places prefer much more of a steaky texture. That's totally preference, but it's not mine.
Anyway, I hope this is helpful. My biggest take aways are:
- The quality of the beef has a huge impact on the final product. Call the meat companies, figure out who is the local distributor, and drive there. Coerce them into selling you a nice ass brisket. Ask them to go inside the plant and pick one.
- What we do, or any of the other BBQ guys do, is ALWAYS slave to the smoker. You've got to, got to, got to keep working to understand your cooker. That's the key.
- No dirty fires, no dirty smokers, clean it all, season it. Treat it like precious cast iron cookware.
- Insulation is your friend.
- A good brisket doesn't need much seasoning.
I don't know what else. I hope this is helpful. Feel free to write back if there are any questions.
New Years Resolutions
Howdy Brisketeers!
Hopefully you all are having a wonderful holiday season, and are gearing up for a great 2013. I'm so very excited to announce a bunch of killer new things coming up at BrisketTown this year:
I'm so proud to announce that we've been selling out each night since we opened! To keep up folks bellies filled, we're now opening up shop on Mondays! Visit our website for our new hours.
Starting on January 5th, it'll be Taco Town! We're expanding our menu to be open during the day with Tex-Mex-style breakfast tacos. We'll be open for tacos Monday through Friday from 8AM until 12PM, and Saturday and Sunday from 8AM until 3PM. Our menu will change frequently, but expect some awesome new proteins, including house cured and smoked pulled pork bacon tacos! Nom nom nom.
Since rolling out our pie program about a month ago, folks have been devouring our delicious pies like crazy. Most nights we even sell out before the meat! Starting on January 5th, we'll be making pie available all day long. To boot, we'll be adding a bunch of new pastries, both savory and sweet, to the menu. Oh, and WiFi… we've got that.
In the weeks to come, expect a few new sides to be added to our dinner menu including braised greens, baked beans, and *maybe* even mac and cheese!
It's been our goal from the start to work with as many local purveyors as possible, and to forge lasting and meaningful relationships. In the last month a few new ones came into fruition. We started working with Blue Bottle for our drip coffee, The Bedford Cheese Shop for the fromage available for sale during dinner, and in our sides and tacos, as well as Heritage Foods for a good amount of our pork! We'll keep you posted as new relationships develop.
We've been plowing full steam ahead with our catering program. We've been dropping off delicious smoked meats to companies like Foursquare and Stumptown Coffee, and folks have been loving it! If you or your company is interested in our catering program, please visithttp://delaneybbq.com/catering
There are more great announcements coming soon, including additional seating, later hours, and beer - but one thing at a time! Thank you all for your continued patronage and support. I hope each and every one of you has a happy and healthy 2013, and I can't wait to see you all at BrisketTown! Be sure to say Hi to us on Facebook, and we'll see you soon.
Thanks for a Great Summer!
Hi Friends!
I feel bad. I had hoped to keep blogging throughout the summer, posting photos from all the events in real time. Unfortunately the rigor of our series got the best of me, and I've been delinquent in keeping up with the site. In the days to come I'll start posting recaps from the events, and many of the photos are already up in our gallery. But that's not really what this post is about.
Last night was our last Brisketlab, and what an event it was! Figures that after 30 successful evenings with great weather, our 31st and last would come with a typhoon! We braved the weather and served what might have been some of our best brisket to date. Glad to go out with a bang!
I want to send a big thanks to all of you who gambled, took the risk, and got in on our cooky meat project, without much info at all. We're miles from where we were at the start, and that couldn't have happened without your dedication and support. To thanks!
I also have to give a huge thanks to both Hunter and Angela, without whom the entire series couldn't have happened. Hunter put in tireless hours with me at the smoker, preparing sides, handling customer support issues, and carting boxes of smoked meat. Angela single handily planned 31 amazing labs, booked 31 brilliant bands, and coordinated over 100 volunteers. Not an easy task. So, thank you both.
And now it's time to build a restaurant. Keep your eyes on the site. We'll post more as it develops.
Thanks again,
Brooklyn Winery
Our sixth Brisketlab was at the beautiful Brooklyn Winery in Williamsburg, and man, what an incredible space that is! The massive interior is divided up into two sections, one with an all glass atrium, the other filled with giant fermentation vats. The brisket came out wonderfully - nice bark, fat rendered well, and the seasoning was great. I think we're really getting close!
At this lab we had the music of Baby Soda. I even grabbed a clip of their last number! Check it out:
As with all the labs, staff photographer Matthew Kanbergs was on scene snapping away:
Plus, you all took amazing photos. Here are those from the event tagged #Brisketlab on Instagram:

Why Kristof's endorsement of 'D.I.Y. Aid' is poorly informed
New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof's recent piece, 'D.I.Y. Foreign-Aid Revolution' has been skewered by aid professionals, because he praises projects launched by amateurs. Guest blogger Laura Seay adds to the criticism.
I've avoided reading and writing about The Kristof lately as I've really been trying to get the stress in my life under control. But this merits a response as apparently somebody still doesn't understand the difference between evidence and anecdotes.

In case you've been hiding under a rock, here's a quick rundown on what happened. The Kristof wrote a long piece extolling the virtues of Do-It-Yourself Aid projects, in which amateurs circumvent large aid agencies to implement programs on their own. Dave Algoso wrote a very measured and kind response pointing out that, actually, aid is a very difficult profession and not one that amateurs are equipped to undertake and do well. Tales from the Hood also wrote an excellent response in which he noted that aid is not about us, while DIY aid is often all about the do-er.
The Kristof responded to this barrage of criticism in a late Friday afternoon blog post, which seems to be his preferred time to respond to criticism. In it, he wrote:
Compared to professionals, amateurs tend to be more, well, amateurish. Accountability can be a real problem. But on the whole, I think this concern is misstated. I've generally found that grassroots, locally owned aid projects have a better record than large scale, top-down ones that don't always have the same buy-in. And the truth is that DIY aid projects are more likely to be modest, grassroots efforts undertaken with strong local partners. They often keep their ear to the ground and tinker with their model more than the larger projects. Aid projects often succeed at the experimental level and then have difficulty going to scale, but that's less of an issue with DIY investments that are never meant to scale up (that's a separate problem with them, and a legitimate concern).
Tales from the Hood tackles, brings down, and sends to the locker room the idea that amateurism isn't that big of a problem in two wonderful posts on professionalism in aid here and here. What I want to focus on is the problem with Kristof's claims here in terms of research methods, namely that there's not any evidence for his claims. "I've generally found that grassroots, locally owned aid projects have a better record than large scale, top-down ones that don't always have the same buy-in" may be true based on Kristof's limited exposure to local aid projects, but it's not one that's supported by any systematically gathered evidence that I've seen. Has anyone else?
The problem here is that Kristof is relying upon anecdotal evidence (NGO's he has encountered) rather than systematically gathered evidence. Even though Kristof has more anecdotes than your average observer, it's still not evidence. As @WrongingRights tweeted while quoting her dad, "The plural of anecdote isn't data." Data that isn't gathered systematically isn't data at all.

Chomsky: Instead of "Illegal" Threat to Syria, U.S. Should Back Chemical Weapons Ban in All Nations
In a national address from the White House Tuesday night, President Obama announced he is delaying a plan to strike Syria while pursuing a diplomatic effort from Russia for international monitors to take over and destroy Syria's arsenal of chemical weapons. However, Obama still threatened to use force against Syria if the plan fails. We get reaction to Obama's speech from world-renowned political dissident and linguist, MIT Professor Emeritus Noam Chomsky. "The Russian plan is a godsend for Obama," Chomsky says. "It saves him from what would look like a very serious defeat. He has not been able to obtain virtually any international support, and it looked as though Congress wasn't going to support it either, which would leave him completely out on a limb. This leaves him a way out: He can maintain the threat of force, which incidentally is a crime under international law. We should bear in mind that the core principle of the United Nations Charter bars the threat or use of force. So all of this is criminal, to begin with, but he'll continue with that."
Chomsky on 9/11, Syria's "Bloody Partition" and Why U.S. Role Ensures Failure of Mideast Talks
Noam Chomsky, the world-renowned political dissident, linguist and author, weighs in on today's 12th anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks and how the civil war in Syria appears destined to permanently break the country apart. "[9/11] was very significant, a major terrorist act, thousands of people killed," Chomsky says. "It's the first time since the War of 1812 that U.S. territory had been attacked. The United States has had remarkable security, and therefore was, aside from the horrible atrocity, a very significant, historical event. And it changed attitudes and policies in the United States quite considerably. And in reaction to this, the government was able to ram through laws that sharply constrained civil liberties. It was able to provide pretexts for the invasion of Afghanistan, invasion of Iraq — the destruction of Iraq, with consequences that spread through the region. And it's the basis for Obama's massive terrorist war, the drone war, the most extreme terrorist campaign that's underway now, maybe most extreme in history, and the justification for it is the same: the second 9/11, 9/11/2001. So, yes, it's had enormous effects on society, on attitudes, on policies. Many victims throughout the world can testify to that." On Syria, Chomsky says the country "is plunging into suicide. If negotiations [don't] work, Syria is moving towards a kind of very bloody partition."

The holiday season is upon us. Sadly, the big retailers are Scrooges when it comes to paying their staffs. Undergirding the sale prices is an army of workers earning the minimum wage or a fraction above it, living check to check on their meager pay and benefits. The dark secret that the retail giants like Wal-Mart don't want you to know is that many of these workers subsist below the poverty line, and rely on programs like food stamps and Medicaid just to get by. This holiday season, though, low-wage workers from Wal-Mart to fast-food restaurants are standing up and fighting back.

CABE's design review panel said this week that the quality of architecture on the housing and retail scheme is insufficient for it to be granted detailed planning permission and it wants tenants to be able to choose their own architects. In particular, the scheme came under fire for failing to connect ...

I'm looking for a few good one liners that could be good rules for the less enlightened drivers out there. (to use on twitter) Something like... Try to put 5 seconds in between when you use the gas pedal and brake pedal. And then a cost effectiveness number might even spur them to give it a try. Obviously they would have to be very generalized statements but even if it doesn't apply to all situations that is perfectly fine. Please feel free to post your own or tweak mine.
I don't mean to piss in anybody's potted plant, but it's not going to work. Everybody thinks that they're (at least) an 'average' driver, and will presume that you're talking (tweeting) about everybody else. This, despite the fact that Americans are generally abysmal drivers. "If you can't see their rear tires...you're waaay too close!"
I was thinking more along the lines of saying something very simple that everyone could do without a ton of effort. And then mentioning the cost savings of doing said thing. Money is the universal language. If you get someone's attention financially you have a much better chance of changing their habits.
How about! I'm saving big Buck$ because I get a lot more MPGs than the rest of you F@#k$! Sorry if I offended anyone, but it just popped into my head!!!
Anticipate Traffic Maintain a distance such that if something happens in front of you there is no need to slam on your brakes. Maintain a Constant Speed Avoid wide swings in your speed, caused by slamming on your brakes and then stomping on the accelerator. Drive at an Optimal Speed for your Car For most conventional vehicles, there is a sweet-spot where mpg is optimized. Find it and drive at that speed as often as possible. Avoid Using Your Brakes If you had no brakes on your car how would you drive differently? Cruise and Coast More Often Rather than accelerating until you have to stop, accelerate, cruise and then coast to a stop. Commuting is not a Competitive Sport Stop comparing your rate of travel against other drivers. You'll get there. I have found that regardless of rate of travel, I continue to maintain a 100% arrival rate. That's a start.
The spacing between you and the car in front of you. I avoided one guaranteed crash because I was ensuring three seconds elapsed. The most powerful demonstration is to have something big fall off the vehicle in front of you on the interstate (like a porta-potty). Most folks drive as if nothing like that can possibly happen in their lifetime. It will.
How about this one? "Your vehicle will still operate even if you aren't using either pedal. Try going without either pedal for x number of seconds before every stop light. You might be able to save $y!" Unsure what to put for x and y though. :/
Maintain Safe Tire Pressure Your tire pressures during the coldest part of the day should never be less than the numbers given on the door jamb. Act, Don't React Concentrate and anticipate so that you are aware of dangers and the need to speed up, slow down or change lanes long as soon as possible. And then come Tony's suggestions ...
Silly me, I thought the 3 second rule was over 3 seconds was a lane violation in basketball. I learned what you are talking about as a 2 second rule. Definitely depends on your brakes. I don't like my brakes that much on my prius, so I give myself a little more in this car. Often if you do 3 seconds people will fill the gap in front of you, and its tough to maintain. More is better, but not too much ..... If there isn't much traffic 3 seconds sounds better, but you aren't in those dangerous situations. I see many tailgators that use 1 seconds or less.
^ It was 2-seconds when I was in school, but I guess everything has gone up since then. I always maintain a 3++ second gap except when I'm driving in places where this is impractical (like SOCAL)....then I drive the length of the largest of the two cars on either side of me plus one coat of paint. It's really quite amusing to see people reeeeeeeeeally want to get into that space between me and the car in front of me, but not quite have enough room (or testicular fortitude) to get into it. The gap has saved my bacon more than once, AND despite having some VERY marginally engineered cars (like my '96 Geo) I've never EVER had to replace brakes before, like 100K++. A previous poster (Icarus) is right. Make folks ride a motorcycle for a little while. That would probably help the tailgating and the brake-accelerate-brake-accelerate phenomenon that I see in urban areas. To get back to the OP's question for just a moment, I'd steer clear of some of the more self-righteous or elitists tweets. Like I've said many times before......the Prius community has some (*ah....*) "ambassadors" who are struggling furiously to perpetuate some very unfortunate stereotypes.... I particularly like the "Answer: 3 seconds. What's the question?" idea.
Motorcycle riders make the best hypermilers. Without a doubt, when I'm explaining techniques, the motorcycle riders are sitting there nodding like, "doesn't everyone do this?"

So many cities have been sucked in to the convention center vortex only to find they are losing propositions. As for all the shops on Goodlette-Frank and 41, why do they change hands and fail so frequently. There are too many already, and we don't need more. What we need is to add to the soul of the city. New York and major cities all have huge parks. Cambier Park is nice but too small. All the other parks are little more than pocket parks. Why not make this a beautiful flower and sculpture park with local and international artists entering a contest to provide
sculptured and water features celebrating Naples and the Gulf flora and fauna ? Why can't the bank give back to Naples and donate the land for that purpose and even oversee that development into a park? It has always been thinkers of legacy who outlast thinkers of limited immediacy. And the bank would greatly enhance its reputation as a benefactor.

Distinguishable Populations Report on the Interactions of Single DNA Molecules with Solid-State Nanopores Biophysical Journal, Volume 99, Issue 11, 1 December 2010, Pages 3840-3848 Michiel van den Hout, Vincent Krudde, Xander J.A. Janssen and Nynke H. Dekker Abstract Solid-state nanopores have received increasing interest over recent years because of their potential for genomic screening and sequencing. In particular, small nanopores (2–5 nm in diameter) allow the detection of local structure along biological molecules, such as proteins bound to DNA or possibly the secondary structure of RNA molecules. In a typical experiment, individual molecules are translocated through a single nanopore, thereby causing a small deviation in the ionic conductance. A correct interpretation of these conductance changes is essential for our understanding of the process of translocation, and for further sophistication of this technique. Here, we present translocation measurements of double-stranded DNA through nanopores down to the diameter of the DNA itself (1.8–7 nm at the narrowest constriction). In contrast to previous findings on such small nanopores, we find that single molecules interacting with these pores can cause three distinct levels of conductance blockades. We attribute the smallest conductance blockades to molecules that briefly skim the nanopore entrance without translocating, the intermediate level of conductance blockade to regular head-to-tail translocations, and the largest conductance blockades to obstruction of the nanopore entrance by one or multiple (duplex) DNA strands. Our measurements are an important step toward understanding the conductance blockade of biomolecules in such small nanopores, which will be essential for future applications involving solid-state nanopores.

Nanopore sequencing technology: nanopore preparations Trends in Biotechnology, Volume 25, Issue 4, 1 April 2007, Pages 174-181 Minsoung Rhee and Mark A. Burns Abstract For the past decade, nanometer-scale pores have been developed as a powerful technique for sensing biological macromolecules. Various potential applications using these nanopores have been reported at the proof-of-principle stage, with the eventual aim of using them as an alternative to de novo DNA sequencing. Currently, there have been two general approaches to prepare nanopores for nucleic acid analysis: organic nanopores, such as α-hemolysin pores, are commonly used for DNA analysis, whereas synthetic solid-state nanopores have also been developed using various conventional and non-conventional fabrication techniques. In particular, synthetic nanopores with pore sizes smaller than the α-hemolysin pores have been prepared, primarily by electron-beam-assisted techniques: these are more robust and have better dimensional adjustability. This review will examine current methods of nanopore preparation, ranging from organic pore preparations to recent developments in synthetic nanopore fabrications.

Synthetic Nanopores as a Test Case for Ion Channel Theories: The Anomalous Mole Fraction Effect without Single Filing Biophysical Journal, Volume 95, Issue 2, 15 July 2008, Pages 609-619 Dirk Gillespie, Dezső Boda, Yan He, Pavel Apel and Zuzanna S. Siwy Abstract The predictions of a theory for the anomalous mole fraction effect (AMFE) are tested experimentally with synthetic nanopores in plastic. The negatively charged synthetic nanopores under consideration are highly cation selective and 50Å in diameter at their smallest point. These pores exhibit an AMFE in mixtures of Ca2+ and monovalent cations. An AMFE occurs when the conductance through a pore is lower in a mixture of salts than in the pure salts at the same concentration. For ion channels, the textbook interpretation of the AMFE is that multiple ions move through the pore in coordinated, single-file motion. However, because the synthetic nanopores are so wide, their AMFE shows that single filing is not necessary for the AMFE. It is shown that the AMFE in the synthetic nanopores is explained by a theory of preferential ion selectivity. The unique properties of the synthetic nanopores allow us to experimentally confirm several predictions of this theory. These same properties make synthetic nanopores an interesting new platform to test theories of ion channel permeation and selectivity in general. Abstract | Full Text | PDF (325 kb) |

Each species from bacteria to human has a distinct genetic fingerprint. Therefore, a mechanism that detects a single molecule of DNA represents the ultimate analytical tool. As a first step in the development of such a tool, we have explored using a nanometer-diameter pore, sputtered in a nanometer-thick inorganic membrane with a tightly focused electron beam, as a transducer that detects single molecules of DNA and produces an electrical signature of the structure. When an electric field is applied across the membrane, a DNA molecule immersed in electrolyte is attracted to the pore, blocks the current through it, and eventually translocates across the membrane as verified unequivocally by gel electrophoresis. The relationship between DNA translocation and blocking current has been established through molecular dynamics simulations. By measuring the duration and magnitude of the blocking current transient, we can discriminate single-stranded from double-stranded DNA and resolve the length of the polymer.

They are functionally similar. The key difference with Time Capsule is it's an all-in-one solution from a single vendor. That may or may not be important for you.

I have tried both solution, and finally I sold the airport extreme and the external hard disk. The only difference is you still have one usb port if you use time capsule. Performance are the same for both solution.

Tickets for both shows will be $10 apiece, but whether the tickets will available in advance or just at the door for the two events has not yet been announced.
