6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon
"No, but Val was in Top Gun with Tom Cruise and Tom was in A Few Good Men with me. Huh, that was a short one."
OK, so like the fun-filled game of 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon, it's a small world. Case in point...
I wrote an article for the April issue of Guideposts Magazine. I'm so excited to see my story featured in the magazine! I mean, it's Guideposts!!! How cool, right? Anyway, so I wrote this article and then Rick, an editor at Guideposts, made it sound 4000 times better than I had originally written it. (I just LOVE editors!)
Because of this article, Guideposts sent a photographer out to my house this summer to get some pictures of the family. I never did see all of those pictures, come to think of it. But it was a CRAZY photo shoot! Guideposts wanted to capture all the craziness in my house so the poor photographer (who has no kids and thanks to us, probably never will) tried to get pictures with the kids doing stuff like coloring on the walls, jumping off the couch, climbing the shelves and being their typical wacko selves. It was LOUD. It was insane.
Anyway, flash forward a couple months and I'm getting my hair cut by my friend Gin, who happens to be Brooklyn's godmother. As she's cutting my hair, she mentioned that her husband, who works at an advertising firm in the city, was looking through portfolios of potential photographers. As he flipped through this one portfolio, he came across a picture of my family.
"I know these people! They live by me."
The photographer went on to explain how he was trying to capture the chaos with the shots. My friend insisted, "Yes, I know. I know these people! I'm her godfather," he said as he pointed to Brooklyn.
So, that's my small world story. I guess it wasn't quite as interesting as I first thought. Hmmm, let me fix that. Let's see here... Um, the photographer's girlfriend once waited on this girl at a restaurant and that girl's boyfriend changed the oil in this guy's car that he bought from William Baldwin who was in Flatliners with Kevin Bacon. Yep, that's better. Anyway, it's a small world.
So, grab a copy of Guideposts Magazine come April 1st! (Which is incidentally, the date my book launches. Should I be disturbed by the fact my publisher is launching my book on April Fool's Day?) Not only is it an amazingly inspirational magazine that will make you cry, but they've got some fun giveaways (including some from V-Tech, Lands' End, and Johnson's Baby!) for the release of my book! Can't beat that, right?
(As I inserted the links to Guideposts Magazine, I realized my editor's picture is right there on the home page! Beth is AMAZING!!!)
And then go check out my giveaway for a Wireless HP Photosmart printer HERE!

Okay, let's see: I once had a voice teacher (whom I hated), who once met Beyonce, who was in The Fighting Temptations with Cuba Goodging Jr., who was in A Few Good Men with Kevin Bacon. YES!!!! (I didn't think I could do that!)

I love the Six Degrees game! When I used to live in Phoenix, a few years ago, I played Six Degrees of Craig Counsell (my favorite baseball player at the time), and I was practically related to him! Craig had dogs, and when he went on the road (for baseball games) he had a guy babysit his dogs who was the business partner of the dad of one of my daycare babies. (I owned a daycare center.) Whew, that was a mouthful. Anyway. It was like this: Craig Counsell -> Craig's dogs -> dog's babysitter -> baby's dad -> daycare baby -> ME. See? Practically related.

Hey Dawn,
Thanks for the Disneyland photo. Now I'll have that goofy song running through my head all day.
Thanks soooooo much for that!
- February 5, 2009 at 9:09 AM
All I've got is a reference to an 80's movie that has to do with Ferris passing out at 31 flavors last night. :> LOL. Too funny. Love your story, it is a small world. Can't wait for your book. Is there plans for an audio version of your book that you know of? Would love to read it with my ears.

Okay, my random little 4 degrees
My drama teacher (who did a pantomime with:)
Anthony Head (who was in "Metal God" with:)
Jennifer Aniston (who was in "Picture Perfect" with:)
Bizarre, huh?
(Technically, my aunt also crashed her car into Anthony Head's - but my family don't like to talk about that!)

It was a reference to a pop culture game where anyone in the entertainment business can be connected to Kevin Bacon in 6 steps.
- February 5, 2009 at 9:20 AM
That reminds me of this little exchange:
Economics Teacher: Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
Simone: Um, he's sick. My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.
Economics Teacher: Thank you, Simone
Simone: No problem whatsoever.

Hey Dawn, Did you click on your editor's article on the Guidepost link? She references you, "One day I'll be reading a true story about a woman overcoming cancer by following her dreams; the next day I'll be editing a hilarious parenting book."
Can't wait to read the book.
- February 5, 2009 at 12:15 PM
I love Guideposts. We have a subscription. I thought the plan was to release the book around Mother's Day?

Well, I think it was pretty cool that the photographer had you in his portfolio. So did he get the job from your friend after that? ;)
And I'm pretty sure I could get to Kevin Bacon from my choir director, but that's making my head hurt!

I want to point out a series of daily blogging prompts entitled Fearless Females created by Lisa Alzo of The Accidental Genealogist blog in honor of Women's History Month which starts today, 1 March 2010.
* March 5
How did they meet?
You've documented marriages, now, go back a bit.
Do you know the story of how your parents met?
Your grandparents?
Another for my ToDo list, but I am not sure where I am going to find this one since only one of their children is still with us.
There may have been a connection through a Quaker Meeting or the Westtown (Quaker) School. My Grandfather started at Westtown in 9/1900 according to Westtown Through the Years, Catalog 1799 – 1945. My grandmother, his wife, entered Westtown 9/1903. The Catalog references their marriage.
Not far from Westtown is the Birmingham Friends Meeting where they were married.
The home where Mariella Cheyney is also in the area.
Oh to have started Family Research much earlier. Oh to have recorded the stories around the table in the kitchen at my grandparents home. Or while working on the Orchard.
Was listening to a Genealogy Gems Podcast, Lisa Louise Cook was talking to the "Photo Detective" where they were talking about hair styles. Check this out:
As far as I remember, she always had her hair in this way. Only once do I remember her hair "let down". It was very long.
Mariella Cheyney
Born: September 19, 1887
Died: November 30, 1970
Married June 17, 1915 to Henry Russell Worthington
My To Do list includes talking to my Aunt, asking the questions that have been asked, then checking the Quaker Records for Birmingham Friends Meeting to locate their marriage records.

Publishers, bloggers and affiliates can now view their total October WidgetBucks earnings. The total figure, which includes widget PPC earnings, referral fees and the one-time $25 sign-up bonus, can be accessed within the MyBucks page on widgetbucks.com. As a reminder, the threshold for receiving payment is $50 (which includes the $25 sign-up bonus).
Incidentally, a number of publishers still need to specify their preferred payment method, found within their MySettings page. When payments are distributed in early December, one way to receive your money more quickly is to select PayPal rather than a printed/mailed check. PayPal does not charge a fee for domestic (U.S.) users with a U.S. bank account, but some charges do apply for merchant accounts and cross-border payments (click here for full list of PayPal fees, including those in Europe, Canada and other locations). Also, while we have a 45-day payment term, we plan to make best efforts to shorten this turnaround. Some of you have asked about additional methods of receiving payment -- at this time, PayPal and check are the two we are offering; however, we may consider expanding this list in the future.
The delay in posting earnings is due to the continued suspensions of accounts that fail to comply with our terms of use, for everything from click fraud to hosting ads on non-English language sites, ad-only pages, and pornographic sites. The vetting process for the click fraudsters took time (and still continues), so, thanks for your patience.
Also, early this week, two report-related features are coming to your MyWidgets page:
- "Referral Earnings" displays a breakdown of money made from each referral credited to a publisher's account
- "Show Deleted Widgets" lets publishers view earnings from widgets they may have deleted or that aren't currently active. Several have asked if deleting a widget removes those earnings from their account. The answer is no -- any widget you've placed on your site or blog that has earned PPC credit remains credited to your account, even if deleted.

This week's prompt shows the kitchen of a hospital train in the First World War
"I had to assist the wounded at a dressing station and stuck to it for about 40 hours. It's blooming hard work being a stretcher bearer in the field."
These were the words of my great uncle George Danson, written three weeks before he was killed on the Somme.
|One of the many embroidered cards sent from Flanders by her sons
to my widowed great grandmother, Maria Danson, nee Rawcliffe.
George Danson was the youngest of eight sons (surviving infancy) of James Danson and Maria Rawcliffe of Poulton-le-Fylde, Lancashire. Born in 1894, he was followed three years later by the birth of an only daughter Jennie. The photographs and memorabilia here come from Jennie's collection.
George (above) was the favourite uncle of my mother and aunt, and they had fond memories of him, perhaps because he was nearest to them in age and took on the role of the big brother. I can see why in the photograph of him above. George worked on W.H. Smith bookstalls at different railway stations in Lancashire and West Yorkshire.
George joined the Royal Army Medical Corps in 1916 and I was lucky enough to trace his service record on www.ancestry.co.uk as many were destroyed in the Second World War. On his enlistment, George's medical report stated he was 5'3" tall, weighed 109 lbs. (under 8 stone), with size 34 1/2 chest and he wore glasses - so a slight figure to be a stretcher bearer in the turmoil of war.
Also amongst the family papers were two letters written on headed paper of the British Expeditionary Force. A letter of 19th March 1916 to his eldest brother Robert said "I will tell you one thing it is no easy job the army life today and I am of the opinion as most of the chaps are here they won't be sorry when it is all over."
"At present we are abut 8 miles behind the firing line. I had to assist the wounded at a dressing station and stuck to it for about 40 hours. It's blooming hard work being a stretcher bearer in the field. On Friday I was in a big bombardment and will say it was like a continual thunder and lightening going off. As I write there are blooming big guns going off abut 50 yards away every few minutes. Don't I wish that all of us could get home. Wouldn't that be great, lad, there's a good time coming and I hope we shall all be there to join in."
Three weeks later, and a week after his 22nd birthday, George was killed on 16th September 1916 at the Battle of the Somme, and buried in the Guards Cemetery, Les Boeufs, near Albert.

As the video producer of Air Age Media, I am very excited to be attending the 2009 Nurnberg International Toy Fair. We promise to keep you updated with video interviews along with segments on German culture and history. Get your learn on and have some fun with RC Car Action and the Nurnberg Toy Fair! Check back every day for updates.
P.S. – A little bird told me that the next Radio Control Show will be filmed here as well….

Hope to meet you tomorrow in the fair!

Today was an awesome first day of the show. There were quite a few new products that caught our eye. And, I am always overwhelmed by how big the Nurnberg Toy Fair is. This year over 110 countries are expected to be represented. The show claims that over 80,000 people visit Nurnberg annually. That's enough to fill a professional football stadium. 10,000 new products are on display, which indicates that technology marches to it's own pace. We'll focus on more of those new products tomorrow and highlight some of the culture from Germany. So far, I am a big fan of the ARX Racing dirtbike. I've always said, "if someone can produce a good dirtbike that works, it will be the next big thing." We're going to hit the sack, as it's 1:30am in morning. Joe and I are beat, but we'll be back tomorrow with more videos, photos, and coverage of the show.

wow great coverage

I'm liking the videos.

It's been really amazing here in Germany so far. The center of town, "Old Nuremberg", is just across the street from our hotel. It is surrounded by a wall that was used to protect the city. Jason and I headed over to a small pizza place last night to grab a quick bite before coming back to the hotel to edit. It was a small place, but very comfortable. The people here in town seem much more relaxed than back in the U.S. Although I can't understand German, I still have a feeling of being at home.
We will be heading back into town this morning to film a segment of The Radio Control Show. From there we will head back over to the Toy Fair to film a ton of new products that I will be posting later on later on.
Saturday, February 07, 2009 4:10:56 AM by Jason Sams
Like Joe mentioned, we'll be filming a spot for The Radio Control Show in downtown Nurnberg. After filming some of the culture we'll focus solely on the hot, new products at the show. You can view our slide show under the video player or check out images of the new products in our Hot News, And New Stuff forum. Click here to check out the new products.

there are no photos!!!
Saturday, February 07, 2009 6:43:57 PM by Joseph Arthur
We went into town this morning to shoot The Radio Control Show segment on Nuremberg. The streets were crowded and entertainers occupied almost every corner. Jason and I bumped into a tour guide that may meet up with us tomorrow morning for an interview.
After the fair, we headed to the Opernhaus for dinner with Proline, Novak, and Axial. As you can see above, there were some locals having a great time singing and dancing. From there, we took a stroll through the elusive "Red Light District" before heading back to our room to edit more photos and videos.
Tomorrow we will be heading over to hall 11.1 to see a real life hydrogen car…
Saturday, February 07, 2009 6:57:30 PM by Jason Sams
We're shooting lots of miscellaneous videos from the show, but I want your feedback on what products or brands you want to see more of. Tomorrow we'll shoot footage of a hydrogen-powered RC car, as Joe mentioned, which should be pretty dope. We'll get some interesting clips of other cool things we spot, but its our last day to get anything you must see, so please reply if you have any requests. Thanks for staying tuned and checking out our video coverage. It's been really cool putting together the videos.

The Traxxas vehicles will be in the video player very soon. I am uploading them right now.

I hope to see a release date soon 🙂

Well we're back in the States and the show was a huge success. Thanks for tuning in to our Nuremberg Toy Fair online coverage sponsored by A Main Hobbies. We had a ton of fun and I hope you did too. Don't forget to check out the next episode of The Radio Control Show, which was filmed in Nuremberg. See you soon!

First Christian Church slates Holy week services.
First Christian Schedules Holy Week Services
First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) will begin Holy Week Services this Sunday as the church will observe Palm/Passion Sunday.
Palm/Passion Sunday was traditionally Palm Sunday, but in recent years as many churches dropped Holy Week services, churches went from the celebration of Christ's entry into Jerusalem to the celebration of the Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
Going from celebration to celebration ended up leaving out the most important part of Holy Week—the Passion of Christ on the cross.
The service on Sunday will begin with the traditional entry of the palms into the sanctuary with people celebrating Jesus as king.
The service will then move toward Friday of that same week when many of those same people were crying out for Jesus to be crucified.
Pastor Ray Belford's sermon title for Sunday will be "He Could Have" and the text will be Luke 19:28-40 and Philippians 2:5-11.
Maundy Thursday will be observed in a special service beginning at 6 p.m. Thursday evening. Maundy, which means "covenant", will focus on the Last Supper of Jesus that He shared in the upper room with His disciples.
The service will look at each of the disciples and is based on Twelve Ordinary Men by John MacArthur. The service will conclude with a sharing in Communion where Jesus introduced the new covenant and the call for us to remember Him when we share the bread and the cup. In the Disciples of Christ denomination, Communion is celebrated every Sunday.
Following the service, a 60-hour Easter Prayer Vigil will begin with members praying continuously until first service on Easter morning. Members sign up for one-hour periods to pray in the church library during the vigil.
The Resurrection of the Lord will be observed on Easter Sunday, March 31.
Belford's sermon title for Easter is "Remember His Words." It is based on the resurrection story from Luke 24:1-12.
Sunday services at First Christian Church are at 8:30 a.m. for first service and 10:50 a.m. for second service. Sunday School hour begins at 9:30 a.m. The church is located at 1625 N. Broadway and all services are open to the public.

And of course, Brooklyn had about 7 million temper tantrums. Poor Austin (who was shockingly awesome) carried her most of the day and even told her a well-timed lie as we were leaving. One ride on the merry-go-round wasn't enough for her royal highness and she threw herself down on the ground, begging for another ride. Austin told her that we were going to a different merry-go-round by our car. It worked. We were able to leave and she thankfully forgot about "the other" merry-go-round by the time we reached the parking lot.
After spending another 5 hours at the zoo, we still didn't get to all the exhibits, but here are a few new pics...
Clay made friends with the leopard. He kept standing real close and watching Clay. I don't know if he was thinking that Clay would make a tasty snack or if he was wondering how Clay had escaped from the monkey cages.
A pile of porcupines. They were all kinda on top of each other and I kept wondering if they were stabbing each other.
"Ouch! Move over Bob!"
"Dude, you're poking me!"
"Sorry, Kevin, but there's not really room to move here."
"Can you get your quills outta my face, Bill?"
Awww - kissing baby Dominick
My sister trying to keep Dominick from flipping himself into the goat pen.
"A LLAMA? He's supposed to be dead!" (Yeah, I watch too many Disney movies.)
This chicken needs a haircut.
Does anyone else think it's kinda cruel that they named the chicken "Fricassee"?
OK, yes they're just cows, but we don't see cows around these here parts
This is the part where Clay picked up goat poop and threw it. At least he didn't try to eat it, right?
polar bear
Dominick in a little "nest" in the play zoo
This was in the turtle's enclosure. I guess they drink Diet caffeine free Coke.
And this was in the lemurs' cage. Paula Deen does their cooking.
They have face paint in the play zoo. I guess Clay is Rudolph.
Brooklyn having a snit because she didn't want to leave. The whole day, she kept grabbing Austin's ears. She was like Remy in Ratatouille, trying to steer him around by grabbing his ears and hair.
pretty water fountain
The kids sitting on a life size leatherback turtle. Lexi's hanging on for dear life as she slips into the
Lexi trying to save Clay from being eaten by a rather large fish.
the latest in formal wear
Yeah, it's a ceiling. I'm kinda nuts about taking pictures.
not just another pretty face
...the corn is as high as an elephant's eye.... (song?)
extreme close-up
I never realized just how umm, interesting, tapirs look. They're much cuter on Diego.
And finally, the winner of the Wonder Pets beanie set and the $75 gift card from Angie at Good For The Kids is........

My Baby
It's a cowgirl!
Nope, it's just Brooklyn.
I love how these pictures turned out. Of course, I had to let her pick out her clothes for the pictures so I'd have an accurate memory of her four-year-old self. And the pink boots - well, they were a given.

they are adorable. today it was cold. a tad warm but got colder and colder. my son (2.5) insisted on wearing a white tshirt with mickey on it, a pair of shorts with alvin and the chipmunks (yeah some kids won't let their kids be walking ads...not me) and sandals. he refused a jacket. and wouldn't believe me that he was going to be cold.

I wish I had done this when my guys were littler. We went through a whole summer where my now 10 year old would wear nothing but a T-shirt, a diaper, and rubber rain boots from Target. Yep. Those boots smelled lovely by the time August rolled around. I wish I had a picture of that!!!

Just darling! Makes me smile when I remember back to when my daughter was that age and dressed herself in a similar fashion. I can remember my mother having a fit but I always held firm that it was my daughter's right to express herself. She dresses "normal" now but I miss the "special" outfits!

NASET News Alert
Special-Needs Students Transform into Pop StarsDecember 20, 2011
Dozens of adoring fans flocked to the Fair Lawn High School Library in New Jersey last Friday morning for the world premiere of a new music video by nine of the school's Bridges II students. Accustomed to the film cranes, scoop lighting and boom mics from their last shoot, the day's stars -- dressed in award show garb -- seemed unfazed by the horde of photographers and videographers on hand to capture the unveiling of their moving rendition of Miley Cyrus', "The Climb." Doreen Yates, the primary instructor for the Bridges II program, which serves 16- to 21-year olds with cognitive disabilities, said she truly considered the students superstars. "This has been an amazing journey for [the Bridges II students]," Yates said. "What began as a small idea, quickly evolved into a life-altering experience...Today you will see the students, who not only enjoy life, but now also truly believe in themselves."

Comments about Stanley® 100 Ct. Blade Dispenser (11-921a):
The blades have that Stanley quality that you have expected for years. I have Stanley tools that I have been using for 40 years. They have the "right feel" in your hand. Just the right heft to make you feel confident they won't break while not adding too much bulk that will tire you down. These blades are thick enough not to break, while sharp enough to slice easily.
The only problem I see is that the dispenser is overly tight on releasing the first 5 blades. I suggest a spring that is 5% looser so that taking out the first 5 blades is easier on the thumb.

"Humpy Show" Lets Drivers Actually Talk
The idea of getting Humpy Wheeler involved in anything on TV that had to do with conversation was a good one. The fact that he could get one current and one past NASCAR driver to sit down and "just talk" is very special.
The one thing that has gone away from fans over the years is the ability to hear NASCAR personalities when they are not involved in "corporate speak." This is especially true of the younger generation of drivers who have literally been raised with as much education about public relations as they have about racing.
It would take a special person, and a special purpose, to snap these drivers out of the sponsor mode and return them to being just plain old folk. Perhaps, the best perscription would be to mix-in an older driver who does not have to toe the company line. Then, let Wheeler ask questions that put both generations on-the-spot.
Kurt Busch tried his best to look and sound mature, but that certainly was tough in the company of Buddy Baker. What Busch did well, however, was talk like a driver who had been through some rough times and was simply not going to take it any more.
Taped before the Daytona practice crash, Busch's words certainly seemed prophetic when he talked about when to stay calm after an incident, and when to retaliate. Hearing Buddy Baker agree, and then add-in his own personal views was very interesting. These two might have a bit more in common then most fans thought.
While this pilot episode was shot very tight and resulted in very large heads appearing on very large HD screens across the country, the production on a whole was solid. Simply letting the three men talk, filling-in the references with "B-roll" (footage) and using individual comments really told the tale.
In this world of electronic graphics, special effects, and seventy cameras at a NASCAR race this change of pace was nice. There were no sponsor duties to fulfill, no beverage to drink, no sunglasses to wear, and no new product to sell. Just some conversation and questions from a man with a right to ask them.
Since this program did not involve a lot of production issues, I think it would be important to get your opinion of this pilot episode of The Humpy Show. What did you like, what did you not like, and would you want to see more driver pairings like this presented in a one hour format?

I posted on the previous entry about The Humpy Show before this entry was posted. As I said before, This show reminded me of why I fell in love with NASCAR! I hope that this is going to be a weekly show. This is one that I will never miss. Even if it's a driver that I hate it will be worth sitting through. I couldn't stop laughing through most it. And to NASCAR, heed Humpy's words: "You don't want it to go over the edge, you don't want it to turn into a free for all, but you don't want to stifle all the emotion. That's what we're selling. People are buying tickets for drama, drama is rivalry, drama is wheel to wheel racing, and black marks on the side of the car and all that stuff. That's what it's all about. Without that you got nuthin'".

Mr. Editor -
Good production values ...always a treat to have old-timers like Humpy and Buddy regale us with their stories ...True, Kurt wasn't in Buddy's league but nice touch having current star paired with a true player in NASCAR's past ...ironic indeed that Kurt was involved in a 'punch' incident prior to premiere episode of the show ...interesting though that you would show Ashley Force with Humpy in your pre-show comments ...l...wondered at first if I would find hour interesting (va. 20 mins), but seemed to flow well and worthwhile view ...look forward to future pairings

If this whole concept of more Nascar programming means more stuff like this then I can't wait to see what they roll out next. This show was a hard core fan's dream. Classic stories, classic footage and classic personalities. It was informative and entertaining at the same time. I just wish I could have pulled up a chair and a mason jar of shine with 'em. I could have listened for hours.

Having had the privilege of sitting and talking with Buddy on several occasions, this show was a delight. Buddy was the perfect choice for the first show --- he has a million stories.
I even warmed up to Kurt --- for a while. LOL
And the potted meat and vienna sausages was a hoot! Good ole Southern staples.

I posted on the other thread, I LOVED this show. Need more of this and the young clueless fans (that have no respect for the history) need to hear the old stories.
I could've done without the Humpy cam and just stuck with more talking but that's just a minor thing.
On my old fashioned 4:3 tv things looked FINE!
SPEED needs more quality shows like this one instead of the dreck of the last couple of years.
GREAT IDEA this show. I am so over the 'young guns'. I want to see the real deals that did it back in the day you had to really earn your way in.
Please make this a regular deal.

I thought this show was very clever and laughed the whole way through it. Almost watched it again, but it's getting late. The stories these veterans could tell us ... I loved it. Tasted white lightning before and it almost took my breath away. Was waiting for Kurt's reaction to it but he took it like a man.
JD, are there more to come on a weekly or an every-now-and-then basis? No wonder Humpy is so successful. A+ show.

This is what we need more of! Seeing one of the 'old' drivers with one of the 'new' ones was a perfect setup. Nice to see someone ready to acknowlege the tradition of racing and the drivers that helped make it so popular. Hupmy is the perfect middle man, and I hope they make this a staple of their coverage.

Great format.
Just a reminder that, despite their different background, different eras and in spite of NASCAR's continuous changes to accomodate the Corporate interest, Drivers are Racer's and that is why we love it.
The fact that Humpy was going to do the show, I was prepared for a fun and informative show, and was not dissapointed.
This will be a Must see show in my household if it continues.
And the "little taste of the mason jar squeezin's" really brought it back to the past.

I echo the sentiments of many here that having the old times up there is great. The more we all can learn (not just the new fans) about the sport we love, the better the sport will be.
I thought the pace was dragging a bit at times and I also thought Kurt looked a bit lost at times...but he is who he is.
I also thought the finishing toast was a neat touch. All in all it was yet another great show from SPEED.

- Tripp said...
This was cool. As I commented on the other column, it's a good mix of the "now" and the "then". Buddy and Humpy told better stories than Kurt, but they have much more experience to draw from so it's to be expected. Plus, they are two of the best story tellers around.
Leave it to Humpy to stir the pot and find a new way to promote the sport. What an entertaining way it is. Let's hope that there are many more installments of "The Humpy Show"

What a thrill! I haven't felt this good watching a NASCAR SPEED program in a very long time (anything featuring AB notwithstanding). Humpy was fantastic - his demeanor, his questions, and his just plain letting the two guys talk was such a treat. Humpy has the right outlook and this is an excellent vehicle for drivers to be simply that: drivers with their own individual personalities and thoughts and ideas - scripted stuff is NOT good, especially in any sport. Emotions, feelings and thoughts run high and should be allowed to without restraint! You're good to go in my book Humpy! Thanks John - what a terrific show.
- February 13, 2008 at 9:18 AM
- piggie zee said...
I really like the format---time to talk, tell stories. And the pairing of legend/young gun I think makes it work. I don't know how well it would work with someone in their first couple of years, but a younger driver and a retired driver is wonderful. It's especially nice to stay away from predictable: for example, if you're going to have Tony Stewart on, the legend to pair him with is NOT Foyt, it's been done too much.
Looking forward to seeing what's next!

I thought this show was probably the best NASCAR program since Beyond the Wheel was cancelled! I certainly hope SPEED picks it up full-time. Much better than more silly panel shows like Trading Paint or Trackside.
Excellent to hear Humpy lead the discussions between Baker and Busch. Both seemed relaxed and geniune and made for enjoyable TV. SPEED needs more of this instead of all these shows featuring obnoxious fans trying to get on TV.

I have to admit that when I saw Kurt Busch I almost turned it off. I decided though to see what was going on and I enjoyed the show although it was an effort for me to sit through Kurt's stuff. Sorry, folks, i just don't like the guy. I did like the show and hope to see more of this kind of programming. It's the kind of things that keep NASCAR fans interested and Humpy is a great promoter -- I swear he channels PT Barnum some days.

Loved the show and made a point to watch it last night even if Kurt Busch was on it (can't stand him, but love Buddy!). It's what us old-time race fans have been wanting... more of the heart and soul of the sport than this Hollywood crap the networks have been giving us.
Hope SPEED makes it a regular in their lineup 'cause if they do I'll be watching every week!
- February 13, 2008 at 11:45 AM

Great show. Loved the contrast between retired and newer driver. The interesting thing that no one else has brought up is that both are current/former employees of Penske Racing. I've heard Buddy talking about working with Ryan Newman and others on Sirius radio. Do you think the familiarity with each other helped the chemistry on the show?

I'm not a Kurt Busch fan but I enjoyed listening to him last night. Buddy and Humpy are always entertaining. I enjoyed the format of the show and am glad it was an hour long...30 minutes just wouldn't be long enough for an entertaining show like this. I can't wait for the next episode.

That show was WONDERFUL!
I'm a fan of Kurt's and only marginally familiar with Buddy Baker (via one book chapter and other fan's stories), and it was great to get to see a favorite of mine and a guy who, by the end of the show, had convinced me that if I'd watched Nascar then I might have enjoyed rooting for him.
I can't wait to see more of these shows so I can see more of drivers I know and learn more about drivers I never saw race.

Simply a treat.
I watched it "live" last night, and the replay again today. Simply a wonderful show that I hope continues for years.
I'm not sure about the text/music roll in to each story, seems like they could have done without it. The Humpy cam gave it that behind the scenes feel, but don't think it was needed. Very minor things, not that distracting, but could have gave us another minute of a great story.

I really enjoyed the show. Great concept, something old (sorry Buddy), something new(er) and all pulled together by Humpy. Given Humpy's past, I knew this would be an improvment on most of the Speed Network fare (read that Pinks - what a total waste of time), and I was not dissapointed. Many of us have been waiting for a format that allows the drivers to get out from under the 'corporate image' and be more themselves. The Humpy Show allows this to happen. I will be anxiously waiting for more 'Humpy'.

I, too, had second thoughts when I saw Kurt's face but figured ... oh, what the heck. Loved Kurt's story about Dale Sr. handing out his version of "pay back" when Kurt spun out Jr. Hilarious! Obviously Kurt has a short memory.
How about Tony Stewart as the next guest with Humpy and Buddy? Tony will lay it out in a forthright manner and forget the "P-C" version. Can't wait for that show!
My only complaint ... the show needs to be an hour long. And a whole lot more of them.

I'm with everyone else. Excellent show! Humpy knows how to draw people's personalities out, and I like the PG-17 feel of things...what with the blatant references to the f-word and drinking moonshine on camera!
Classic exchange:
Busch: Bottom line, I finished 112 laps down.
Humpy: How many "F"s was that?
This show will be a staple in my living room if they choose to make more episodes.

Check out the video below to see these products in action :)
I have been using these products pretty much daily for the past 3 months or so. I definitely would not wear liquid foundation daily (because I HATE IT) but for some reason, this particular formula I've found wears really nicely and doesn't feel heavy. It gives such amazing results that I don't mind wearing it! As for primer, you may notice I don't mention one...I also TOTALLY forgot to mention this in the videooo (oops). Anyway, I used to swear by makeup primers before foundation and couldn't imagine NOT using one, but after I experienced some pretty heavy breakouts that were very out of the ordinary, I was very careful with what I put on my skin while it was healing. Primer was just an extra step that I cut out totally. Honestly, I haven't worn the stuff in almost 4 months and I swear, I think my makeup looks better without it. My skin is almost perfect again too, so I'm not messing with that! I think that for me, it's just unnecessary. However, when I do makeup on others, it's a step I rarely skip! Weird huh?? Anyway, here are my MUST-HAVE products for flawless, amazingly natural looking skin everyday.
*For any of you with questions about my skin care, that is a WHOLE other video and it's coming up soon ;)
- Make Up Forever Mat Velvet+ liquid foundation
I wear shade #40. Might seem a little dark, but I usually use a slightly darker, more yellow-toned foundation so that my face matches my body perfectly. Otherwise, my face is pale and pink and it totally doesn't match my body and neck which is more tan and slightly olive toned. ...You probably noticed that in the video!
Anyway, this stuff is AMAZING. The words "Mat Velvet+" are a little scary, yes, especially if you are after a more natural look and are scared of some of these thicker foundations that promise a matte finish and great coverage....I am! But this stuff, while it takes a VERY small amount to provide great coverage, is surprisingly very natural. Even in the Georgia humidity and sweltering summers, this stuff requires little to no touch ups all day (even with my oily skin). I've yet to find anything that compares. It's the best foundation I've ever used by a mile. My skin has also greatly improved since wearing it. Not that this stuff is what made it better, but it definitely did not interfere or cause any more breakouts while my skin healed. It's amazing. I like to apply it either with a damp BeautyBlender sponge, or any type of foundation brush. I find that with this formula, a more dense foundation brush that really buffs the product in makes for a more natural, blended finish.
-MAC Studio Finish Concealer
I wear shade NC20 which is more yellow based (as the NC MAC shades are). This is because I use this concealer on my face to cover redness and any reddish, darker spots left behind from old breakouts. This stuff is amazing. It holds up better than most concealers do on oily skin. I like to apply with either fingertips or any type of concealer brush.
-MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer
I wear shade NW20 which is more pink based. Since my undereye area is more shadowy and blue-ish, the more pink toned concealer neutralizes it better. I love this formula for my undereye area because it is very moisturizing and liquidy, so I don't have to tug on my undereye area or rub a lot to blend it in. I like to pat it on with my fingertips.
-Benefit Powderflage
This is an amazing product. I don't like to set undereye concealer with a typical powder because it can make for a cakey effect, but this stuff is designed to be used there and is very finely milled. I feel that because the undereye concealer I use is so moisturizing, it can leave behind a bit of a sticky finish which is a fallout magnet. It's a light pink powder that has a brightening effect and can be used on any skin tone. I like to apply it with a fluffy blending type brush. The Studio Gear #34 is my favorite because it's so soft for that area. It looks exactly like a MAC #224, but is of much softer fibers. I also like the MAC #225 for this (the brush used in the video, I believe it's discontinued)
-MAC Mineralized Skinfinish Natural
I use this as my finishing powder. Since it does deposit some color, I make sure to dust it on VERY lightly. However, it does leave a very natural finish. I use it with my #134 MAC brush, or just any type of fluffy brush.
Hope this was helpful for you guys!

An elite independent prep school located on 216 Hope Street in Providence, Rhode Island. It was founded in 1889 by Mary Colman Wheeler, an American Impressionist artist and educator born in Concord, Massachusetts. Wheeler School is a nursery - grade 12 co-ed day school which boasts rigorous academics, exceptional arts, and noteworthy athletics.
The Wheeler School is one of the famous prep schools in Providence.

A school for all the kids who weren't good enough to get into Moses Brown. They wear stupid clothes, throw stupid parties, and are, in general, just stupid. They are known by the larger community as "skanks" and "hoes." The girls have a reputation of being "slutty" and the guys have a reputation of being "gay." There are very few exceptions to this definition.
"Hey, why is that girl making out with that gay guy on Thayer?"
"Oh don't worry. They go to the Wheeler School."
"Oh don't worry. They go to the Wheeler School."

I just spent 20 minutes trying to figure out how to "do my hair" for my interview tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure that in my entire life prior to this, I've put a total of two minutes thought into what my hair looks like. Needless to say, this has been an arduous process.
Things I've determined are out: the 90's boy-band spikey front thing, the general spikey hair thing, the slicked-back Wall Street look, and the middle-part.
Honey seemed to get really excited about the faux-hawk, but I assume that's because she kept batting at it thinking my head was prey.
Right now, I think I'm leaning toward some sort of side-part thing. Now sure, sure…it makes me look a little bit like a 12-year-old going to church, but it's probably the safest bet thus far.
In fact, yes. I think I'm going to go ahead and declare the classic side-part to be my go-to for the interview.
You know, unless the Twins make a classy ball cap for interviews that I can acquire within the next 18 hours?!

BR=3000 # kbit
[ -f "$OUT" ] && exit 1;
echo $1
# old ffmpeg versions (2008):
nice $FFM -r 50 -i "$1" -s 1280x540 -ilme mpeg4 -acodec copy -aspect 16:9 -b ${BR}k "$OUT"
# new ffmpeg versions (January 2009): -r 50 might still be necessary.
nice $FFM -i "$1" -s 1280x540 -flags ilme -flags ildct -vcodec mpeg4 -acodec copy -aspect 16:9 -b ${BR}k "$OUT"
The only problem is that the current ffmpeg checkout does not listen to the -r parameter. So you have to manually override the frames per second when playing the file, e.g. mplayer -fps 50. I use
mplayer -fps 50 -fs -af volnorm -vf pp=fd.
You need might need to adjust the path to ffmpeg in the script obviously, e.g. to $HOME/ffmpeg/ffmpeg.
Of course if you have a camera that records 29.97 frames per second you have to change the numbers accordingly. (-r 59.94)
If you've got several cores you may want to experiment with the -threads option and make sure you have compiled with --enable-pthreads, see below.
The great thing is that the video is encoded quickly - I get 23 fps on my celeron m530 notebook - and the video is perfectly in sync, and you only need ffmpeg, nothing else.
You should install a fresh ffmpeg from SVN:
svn checkout svn://svn.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/trunk ffmpeg
cd ffmpeg
./configure --enable-nonfree --enable-gpl --enable-pthreads && make && sudo make install.
Be careful where you put every ffmpeg parameter, as ffmpeg interprets them differently depending on the order you give them. E.g. ffmpeg -r 50 -i ... differs from ffmpeg -i ... -r 50.
Enjoy fast and sync video transformation!
If it doesn't work for you, try out this script, which is the result of the long discussions below.

So some immature person proved my other post the other day regarding girls hating on other girls by posting something I heard back in the 7th grade. "Ugly dumbass, your mole is f* ugly, etc."
First of all, this person MUST think she is better than everyone else to be so bold, yet oddly enough she found her way to my site, perhaps looking for beauty tips on how to get rid of that zit on her head, then took a step back to realize that sadly, it WAS her head. Second, I never said, nor have I implied to be the prettiest woman in the world; trust me, I am aware that I am FAARRRRRR from that; all of which doesn't matter as I have many other things that I have done in my life that I have experienced and I am very proud of, and SURPASS looks by all means- like raising my two sisters, having great friends and a great family, a roof over my head, an awesome job, I can go on and on. Any compliments I have ever received have been given back two fold, and to clarify it isn't a mole (apparently this person also has failed to take a class not only in etiquette, but dermatology as well), as a mole is protruding from the skin's surface forming a 'lump' or a tiny 'hill' (hence the term mole hills). It's actually a 'beauty mark' that came about during the days of the beautiful Marilyn Monroe because of it's obvious mark but flat surface.
So if you are going to insult me, at least do it RIGHT and gather your facts about me and make sure you actually know me before you go off in a tangent where you have only embarrassed yourself. Rude, stupid, immature remarks gets you nowhere, it doesn't make me prettier and it sure as hell makes you even more ignorant and stupid. I simply do not care what some stupid little girl who obviously has no life says, but don't be disrespectful and do it on MY blog. Create your own blog and talk all the smack you want, but you are in my house so take off your shoes. She probably was feeling a bit insecure about herself and had to compensate by taking her aggression out on me, landed up on this site looking for beauty tips! LMAO.
This person also has failed to read the part where I work for an internet company, hence I am pretty computer and tech savvy, and with the help of my tech guys, retrieved this person's IP address and has SBC Global as their internet provider and is conveniently located near San Leandro. And yes, you have been banned. :)
Everyone, and I mean EVERYONE on this earth has a flaw, a weakness. And God is the only one that can judge me. Call me what you want, I know what kind of a person I am and I don't need people to validate that. I have a 10 year old sis that looks up to me and the things I do, are for her. I want to show her that she can be independent, that she cannot rely on just charm and looks, that she must be resourceful and use her intelligence and the power of words to get ahead in life, I want her to know that she has every right to NOT accept crap from people who don't know any better.
It's funny how people misconstrue a beauty site like mine, or Stephie's with tips, videos, FOTD's as all of a sudden being 'conceited' or what have you. Heck if us ladies ALL conveniently had a dummy to put makeup on then we wouldn't have this problem now would we?!!! But reality is we don't. Makeup is art. Our faces are our canvases. And like an art show, we display our work, yet that makes us as inconsiderate, conceited girls? Think again.
Simply put- don't be a coward. At 25 years old, I just choose not to play childish games especially with someone who can't even spell correctly. I just simply had to vent because I think it's perfect timing how I just mentioned how girls do stupid things like this in order to make them feel good about themselves. Wanna feel good? Go to a spa, relax, get a massage, re-evaluate your life, and remember what your mom taught you- if you have nothing nice to say, don't say it at all.....

You tell her girl! Some people are so good with finding flaws in others while they can't really accept their own. People who accept their own weaknesses and try to still come out their best are the true winners so you go girl! Don't let people like these let you down and go on inspiring people like myself who are also trying to inspire others -- pay it forward and be rewarded abundantly. :) Stay fab -- inside and out. ;)

Ugh, I'm just glad that my blog isn't popular enough for flaming.
Funny thing: A while back, Phil and I ran an IP check on one of the trollers on ABB and found out that her alter-ego was one of our contributing members! That was pretty sad.
Sorry someone had to go and kill your mood. If it makes you feel better, I think your blog is top-notch quality and probably one of the biggest contributors to our demographic :)

What I REALLY don't understand is, you update your blog everyday for US (your fans, friends, beauty tip lovers, whatever you wanna call us) as do other ladies as well.. Yet ignorant people still feel the need to bash you & the other beauties, when really your doing us all a favor, by giving us tips, reviews, tutorials, promo codes, & you've even let us in on a bit of your personal life, thus proving you really LOVE to share your makeup addiction with the rest of us addicts lol. So really & truly it pisses me off when I hear about losers bashing women like you, I guess I'll just never understand why people feel the need to waste their time writing something that gets them absoloutly nowhere.. *shrugs* Oh well, We all think your beautiful, & Quite frankly I'm jealous of your beauty mark (pretty sure all us smart ones knew it wasn't a mole *rolls eyes)
Anyways love, Have yourself a nice day & I beg you not to let any of the haters get you down to the point where you stop blogging for us, I'd have to bust a cap in someones ass. Lol
Take care!

How embarrassing for this person to actually have been found out by you! LOVE how you tracked the HATER down. I hope she has the good sense not to show herself around here again.
We are all so proud of you for this great site, full of good content, and for the fact that you are doing a good thing in this world by helping to raise your beautiful sisters to be wonderful people inside and out!
Keep it up girl! And Happy Tuesday!

Don't let people like that bring you down! Your sentiments are perfectly stated. It's too bad that that reader bashed your freedom of expression. Blogging is the one thing that allows people an outlet and apparently they felt the need to misconstrue yours. I love reading your blog, as well as Stephie's, and please keep doing what you're doing. You know what they say about people who criticize - there's always someone out there who thinks they can do things better or differently. Nonetheless, that negative post IS validation!

Wow sis. I can't believe that people steep so low to bring this kind of tension to another person they don't even know. I, like many others, support all the information you provide on here and am grateful for how it's helped me make decisions as they apply to my life. I highly respect you as a beauty blogger and even moreso, just like a sister, all from a passion that stems from our love of makeup art.
Keep your head high love. You're gorgeous, talented, and bigger than all the hate from a cold heart. And if we're meeting at the flagpole to bring this down, just let me know! :) Ain't no one gonna mess with my sis!

I salute you for this post. That is the risk we are in I believe because we are in the beauty blog world, hence all our looks, flaws and even the tiniest slip-ups are being scrutinized under a microscope. I like the way you handled the situation, though. I do hope I can handle it like you if and when I am faced with the same adversity (knock on wood). :) Just keep on blogging and let the losers grind their teeth in envy. ;-)

I may be living a sheltered life but I was shocked to read about this incident. I simply cannot comprehend how anyone could sink so low as to post something so childish and pathetic on your blog. Why make an effort just to embarrass herself...?
I truly respect you for standing up for yourself and showing her that you're not to be messed with. You're doing such an excellent job here, and like other commenters have said you're truly passionate about make-up and beauty which makes your blog oh-so-enjoyable to read. I visit on a daily basis and every time your blog has something new and exciting to offer. It's a real gem!
I won't tell you not to let this incident discourage you from continuing because I know it won't. From what I've seen so far you're a very determined and intelligent young woman who's above all this calling-each-other-names game.
Let me just thank you for your efforts and for sharing your personality with us. Keep it up dear! *hug*

It's me again, responding to your comment:
It took me quite long to come out of lurking and start showing myself on the Net exactly because of this. Then, when I finally did, I realised that it is very much worth it after all because the percentage of idiots is small and the amount of headache they can cause does not overweight all the positive things one can gain. Not by a long shot.
I mostly try to stay away from (or when that's not possible, ignore) people like her and focus on those whom I love and who love me back. There are so many people to befriend and so many things to learn: I really have no time for those who want to ruin it for me and I give them no thought.
You seem to have the same attitude, hence my regular visits to your wonderful blog. I can learn so much from you and you continue to inspire me greatly. Thank you!

Geez, how can people be so immature. I've had a similar situation before how this coward girl used to steal my photos, put it next to a really ugly face and make all sorts of judgements on me. She even went as low as attacking my race. I kept my cool the whole time and she eventually got tired of not being able to upset me and disappeared.
Very well stated Vanessa, there's not one thing we need to add to how you've handled the situation. Remember: it's not the what people call you, it's what you answer to. More power and keep up the good work!

Vanessa, I don't comment here, but thoroughly enjoy reading your blog everyday. Your makeup tutorials are always the best part (you got me to make an NYX order after seeing the colors on you) and you have the amazing ability to pull off any color you choose (sort of like the Muse over at Musings of a Muse). Chin up - you're gorgeous and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Have you ever read the comments on PopSugar or some of the other celebrity blogs? These juveniles tear down some of the most beautiful women I've ever seen! So your blog apparently attracted one of these globs of sludge for some reason.
And she probably really is in 7th grade.

I couldn't have said it better myself ! Girls like that have no class and obviously have very low self esteem but you handled yourself with dignity and grace. Remember, girls like that do exist and only take their insecurities out on other girls who make them feel inferior. I'm half Irish, and half Laotian, and full Asian girls would always give me a hard time but my friends and family would always say it was out of jealousy, and now I know that it is. You're beautiful, intelligent, and successful, she's just hating because you have something she might lack. Keep your head up honey, you're awesome! =]

I think it's great that you're so tech-savy! You should seriously do a post for the rest of us on how to go about dealing with such problems on our blogs (well, my blog and I well below the radar, so I haven't had this problem). How would we go about tracking down such folks if this happened to one of us? It would make for a riveting read.

Tune in with the rest of the world and catch the Opening Ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games on Friday, 27th July. As a proud supporter of Team South Africa, SAA has truly taken Africa to the world by jetting them off to the London Olympics in style. And what better way to show our countries unity and support than by painting a plane in our sporting heroes' honour? The Paint a Plane competition, which was open to the youth, was a run–away success and the perfect way to kick off the greatest sporting event in history.
Our winner was Miss Adri le Roux – a first year design student at Stellenbosch University. Her design captured a sense of South Africa pride with the colours of our nation's flag shining bright for the world to see.
We also have another reason to celebrate in this jubilee season. South African Airways has been voted the Best Airline in Africa, winning the esteemed Skytrax Award for the 10th year in a row! But that's not all… we were also able to take home the Best Staff Service in Africa award for the 3rd consecutive year.
SAA thanks you, the public, for your vote of confidence. We will continue to strive above and beyond to give you the very best travel experience.
Visit flysaa.com.
Until next time, travel safe!
The big city atmosphere and rural charm, art treasures, customs and high-tech: This very special "Munich mix" has helped the capital of Bavaria to achieve world renown. But what adds the final touch to the city's popularity is the drink that is associated with Munich throughout the world: beer. Internationally Munich is undoubtedly the Number One beer metropolis.
Oktoberfest, a festival of Munich's beer and one of the Bavarian capital's trade marks, is a household term in all parts of the world. And who doesn't dream of experiencing the original in Munich sometime in their life or at least of visiting the "beer Mecca" one day?
Visit Oktoberfest from 22nd September until 7th October 2012. How do you get there? SAA flies daily overnight nonstop from Johannesburg to Munich.
Did you know that the first Oktoberfest was held in October of 1810 to celebrate the marriage of Bavarian Crown Prince Ludwig and Princess Therese? Princess Therese is the namesake for the location of Oktoberfest today, the Theresienwiese ("Wiese" means meadow). Locals also fondly refer to the Oktoberfest as die Wiesn.
For more information on the Oktoberfest visit www.oktoberfest.de

As of 13th September 2012, SAA will introduce a twice-weekly service to Brazzaville in the Republic of Congo. This route will be served using an Airbus A319-200 aircraft and is scheduled to fit optimally with the arrival and departure of our International flights at OR Tambo International Airport. This offers passengers convenient connections through Johannesburg.
South African Airways has partnered with the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory (Mandela Foundation) for the 3rd consecutive year to commemorate Tata Madiba's birthday.
In the first year, SAA flew 92 children from Qunu and Mvezo in the Eastern Cape to celebrate Tata's 92nd birthday at the Centre of Memory. Last year, 93 children were selected from all nine of South Africa's provinces to join in the annual celebrations to reflect on the lessons learnt from Tata's life.
This year, SAA flew a total of 19 youth representatives from Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, Durban, East London, Polokwane, as well as from Zimbabwe, Zambia, Dakar, the United States, Malawi, India, Accra, Kinshasa and Maputo to Johannesburg where they participated in a Mandela Youth Day programme, held on Saturday 14 July 2012 at the Johannesburg Mayoral Chambers.
On the 18th July, we unveiled the much–anticipated publicly designed Airbus A340-300e, affectionately named the 'Siyanqoba' Plane, meaning 'reach for your goals.' The plane carried the pride of our nation, Team South Africa, to the 2012 London Olympic Games.
We know you will join us in wishing Team South Africa the very best of luck at this year's Games. The nation is behind you!
