Every Cookbook Needs a Burger
Luckily, I had a couple cups of cooked black-eyed peas in the freezer, so making this was a snap. It's loaded with veggies, some spicy jalepeno, rice, peas, and seasonings. But I think it needs a little more of something before it's ready to go.
It wasn't bland, but it didn't blow me away either. I honestly think the main missing ingredient is a sufficient amount of salt. And maybe something more tomato-y, like tomato paste. I'll work on these and get back to ya.
On another note, I just made whoopie pies (pics tomorrow, I promise!) and not only did I lick the chocolate batter and frosting from the bowls, I also ate one and a half whoopie pies after I finished sandwiching the frosting between the cookies. And all this about 30 minutes before my bed time! I feel like such a lard ass ... does anyone else have a problem gorging when they bake?

Wait... gorging on baked goods is a problem? Oops. Seriously though, isn't that at least half the fun of baking? I think so. :)

That burger is beautiful! I love burgers so much, I hope you get yours perfected soon so we can all enjoy making them for ourselves.
And yay for whoopie pies!

I love the idea of using black eyed peas in a burger! And I gorge so much when I bake that I haven't baked anything of any significance in months, just to avoid gorging. It's sad, really.
- February 12, 2009 at 1:37 AM
I agree - burgers are indeed necessary! And good grief, yes on the lack of self-control when I make something yummy! It's so frustrating. I have only been baking for about a year or so, and before I was't tempted, because I didn't have the yummies in my kitchen!

Yeah I'm terrible for eating the frosting and whatever I've baked before I'm done icing them. Usually I feel to sick to eat one when they're all done!
- February 12, 2009 at 4:19 AM
- Crystal said...
yup.. pretty sure that we all do that one! I have a hard time when I'm making cookies- not to eat the raw batter. that's my favorite part! I don't even want to bake them half the time :-) You can imagine that during christmas (when I made biscotti for gifts) I was on a sugar rush for weeks!

- February 12, 2009 at 8:06 AM
Yes, I definitely have a problem. I need to go to Gorgers Anonymous. Ha ha. That is why I bake for others. That way I will not lick the bowl or the beaters. Whoopi Pies sound awesome.

ooooh, that's one tasty bean burger, Bianca! i can't wait to give it a whirl after you tweak it to your liking! it looks so awesome & super tasty! i find that black-eyed peas kinda suck up some flavor - so i always add a little more sea salt 'n pepper (sometimes even minced raw garlic) to give 'em a little kick.
i totally gorge when i bake. but i find that if i brush my teeth after just a taste (to make sure the recipe is spot on in flavor) i'm less likely to eat more icing & lick spoons and such. i think it's 'cause my mouth is all minty fresh or something. :) but then again - that's half the fun of baking goodies - getting to enjoy all the awesomeness! mmmmmmmmm!

I don't bake unless I have a household of people to eat the food.

- Veganissexy said...
Ha ha. That is precicsely the reason I don't bake very often. I will "taste test" just about every batch of whatever it is for "quality control" of course. Yep...I too am a lard ass when it comes to baking :)
- February 12, 2009 at 10:46 AM
Totally...I eat so much more when I've baked...it's like the cookies are talking to me.

- Jen aka Jewbacca said...
i'm right there with kelly. nomming while baking goes together like guns and cocaine. you can't really do one without the other, right?
i don't gorge per se, but i do a lot of tasting. i'm excited about the whoopie pies.
re: the burger--do you have any chipotle ms. dash? that stuff rocks. use some of that and some lime maybe?
chipotle soy sour cream is super easy: 1 mori nu lite silken tofu, juice of 2 small lemons-(or one biggun), sea salt, and 1/2 chipotle pepper. put that shit in a blender until smooth.
- February 12, 2009 at 12:44 PM
- nora said...
yeah, i gorge so much. the worst time ever was when i was making a chocolate peanut butter mousse pie with silken tofu, so, despite the intense concentration of calories, haha, the filling seemed so light, and there was like at least a cup left, and i ate all of it with a spoon. it hit me 15 min later and didn't feel good. SO much sugar. also, even worse than regular baking is when i make a huge batch of homemade granola, because it seems so limitless, i just keep grabbing another handful thinking it's not that much! it's really hard to restrain yourself when making celine's peanut butter and chips granola from have cake will travel. believe me!
- February 12, 2009 at 1:16 PM
Yummy-as-heck looking burger there Bianca! I make a black-eyed pea burger with some spicy soul seasoning to snazz it up a bit.
Ummm... Gorging on baked goods is a chronic habit of mine, morning, noon, and night (sometimes in the middle of the night too). So, no worries!
- February 12, 2009 at 2:19 PM
- Cyn said...
Yum! I can't wait to test it. :) Plus, I've got a bunch of Black-Eyed Peas I bought on sale and need to use.

Yes -- I gorge myself whenever I bake and it makes me feel bad. Then baking makes me happy, so I can't help but bake... and thus, eat. Vicious cycle.
- February 12, 2009 at 11:09 PM
- Nathan said...
I gorge when ever I make anything, like the time I cooked some black beans for a chili I was going to make the following the day, and then ate a whole bunch of the beans with some fresh tomatoes, green onions and hot sauce. I ate so much that the next day I had to open a can of black beans to have enough for the chili!

In autumn 1765 Mozart's family was in Holland, not least at the request of Princess Caroline von Nassau-Weilburg. The fame of the prodigy Wolfgang Amadeus had already reached her so that she "had an extraordinary desire to see this child" (according to Leopold Mozart). The Sonatas for Piano K. 26–31 that can also have a violin accompaniment were composed in The Hague. They were published in 1766 and were naturally dedicated to the princess. An early copy which has nothing to do with Mozart was consulted by the New Mozart Edition as a primary source alongside the first edition. Our Urtext edition revises the musical text, deleting the misleading additions from this source.

Die Sonaten KV 6 bis 31 sind eine Fundgrube!
[ESTA Nachrichten, 2013]
Das Notenbild ist, wie von Henle gewohnt, sehr gut lesbar, der Notentext sehr präzise erstellt, ergänzt um einen akribischen Editionsbericht. ... Diese Sonatensammlungen eignen sich für den Unterricht, die Klavierparts reichen bis zu mittlerer Schwierigkeit, die Violinstimme geht selten über die erste Lage hinaus.
[Das Orchester, 2013]
Diese neuen Henle-Ausgaben übernehmen offensichtlich die lesefreundlichen Seiteneinteilungen des Erstdruckes von Amsterdam, bringen für die Klavierstimme unaufdringliche Fingersatz-Vorschläge, und eine weitere jeweils beigegebene Violinstimme enthält hilfreiche Strichbezeichnungen.
In three separate volumes, Henle's carefully researched publication includes two separate violin parts, one sparingly, but stylishly, marked by Benjamin Schmid. Budding young musicians will be inspired to play these delightful early gems written by a performer of similar age.
[Strings magazine, 2013]
Die Henle-Ausgabe liefert nicht nur einen hervorragenden Notentext nach Urtext-Standard, sondern auch in Vorwort und kritischem Bericht wertvolle Anregungen zur Interpretation. Lesenswert auch die musikhistorische Einordnung der bemerkenswerten Stücke.

The levels of difficulty of the
music for violin published by G. Henle Publishers
The levels of difficulty of the violin music published by G. Henle Publishers
|Beethoven, 6 German Dances WoO 42
|Beethoven, Rondo G major WoO 41
|Mozart, Violin Sonata F major KV 547
|Haydn, Violin Concerto A major Hob. VIIa:3
|Bach, Violin Concerto a minor BWV 1041
|Brahms, Violin Sonata G major op. 78
|Paganini, No. 9 from Capricci op. 1
|Beethoven, Violin Concerto D major op. 61
|Berg, Violin Concerto
I have assigned all of the violin music in G. Henle Publishers' catalogue a level of difficulty, ranging from "very easy" to "very difficult". The model for this was the evaluation system with nine levels developed for Henle's piano catalogue by Rolf Koenen. Unlike the works for solo piano, I have decided against evaluations that lie between two levels (e.g. 4/5 or 7/8).
This kind of attempt will always be "relative" to some degree. While the work remains the work, what is relative is the technical and musical ability of the player. Let us take a look at Mozart, for example, from the perspective of an Arthur Grumiaux and from that of a very young pupil. It is clear to whom my levels of difficulty are addressed: to the pupils or their teacher. I have, of course, always endeavoured to objectively assess the purely technical level of difficulty. But everything "between the lines" is, of course, left up to the judgement of each individual musician. Depending on our abilities, we perceive the "difficulty" of a work for violin differently, yet with the same conviction.
At the start, categorizing violin literature into levels of difficulty from 1 to 9 seemed to carry a certain risk as well as being unknown territory, yet I have now gained a deep insight into all of the works for violin in G. Henle Publishers' catalogue.

Shubho Nobo Borsho
I am off to Ahemedabad on friday. Not sure how exactly I am supposed to shape those young minds, but I shall do my best. The lecture is at the IIM -A, and the divine Amjad Ali Khan will be addressing the students right before I do. That's a tough act to follow! I'm hoping to catch Mallika Sarabhai during my short stay in her city. I was appalled to hear Manmohan Singh advising voters to shun independent candidates since they'll eat into the votes of the other, party -affiliated persons. Mumbai seems to have jerked itself out of its customary stupor to some extent this time - people actually show up at the 'Meet the Candidate' gatherings in various snob localities. This is an excellent new development and gives me hope that there will be a good turnout on 30th April. Meanwhile, Amma ( Jayalalithaa) has said calmly and cleverly, " A good politician rules out nothing." Looks like Behenji (Mayawati) will need to hire a new speech writer now!

More parties, more confusion. More candidates, more division of votes. Better to follow 2party system where the mandate is definite and compromises will be less. Vajpayeeji danced to Amma's tunes and left desperately tried that trick on Manmohanji.

Ahmedabad is not Mallika or Gandhiji. The show is run by hardnosed gujarati businessmen and women and who have somebody in US, UK and other countries. They want good business, good food and their personal gurus. They are passionate about the Narmada Dam, shopping and religious functions. They are practical, very practical. They are defensive about the gujarat riots, defensive about Modi and they feel misunderstood by others. They are also the friendliest.

How independents can become spoilers?Usually independents like Meera and Mallika are secular. Congress also profess to be secular. The secular people who otherwise would have voted for the Congress candidates have now a choice. When the seular votes get divided among the Congress, SP, independents, naturally BJP or MNS may win. It may happen or it may not happen. It is also like film releases. Lagaan and Gadar Ek Premkatha released on the same date. In electoral terms, Gadar was a clear winner. As for criminals, none of the parties including the CPM are free of criminal elements. In this respect, independents like Meera and Mallika are free of criminal elements. If Salman or Sanjay wants to campaign for these ladies, can they say no? If they can say no, it is very good but if they ignore or keep quiet, it may tell us about competitive politics.

And a shubho nabo borsho to you too! May your harvests be abundant, your granaries full, your rosogollas spongy soft and your sandesh delicately flavored, this year!
Amjad Ali Khan... what a delicious man. I want to steal every one of his shawls! Seriously if there was a sartorial award given to the best ethnic (and otherwise) dressed man in India, this man would win every year. Perfect eye candy! That he is a world renowned talent is more than icing on the cake. Sigh!
Enjoy your time in Ahmedabad. You are going to be busy, busy... speaking engagements, observing the political machinations and what not. I cannot wait to read about your observations of what goes on there. Gujrat is a test case for so many phenomenons that will spread to the rest of India pretty soon. I think the election battles there are very, very significant.
Can you expect the "caretaker prime minister" in Sadi Dilli to say anything other than don't vote for independents? He is taking care that he continues to remain caretaker till the "rightful heir" comes of age!

Shubho Nobo Borsho. Love the bengali language and it's mithhas. I am so thrilled to know about all these different new years within India. Maharashtrians recently celebrated Gudhi-padwa, I think Tamilians celebrated it yesterday. It's all so cool.
IIM-A trip sounds fun. Get us some insider stories abt. IIM A talent. I mean how they see shaping the country's future, economy, recession everything. Indian MBA entrance exams are much tougher than GMAT (that's what we have to give in US) and I always had lots of appreciation for these top B school talent in the country. Would be very interested to hear abt. their views. And of course give us a sneak peak of "gujarat-no darpan". Hope you get to taste Undhiu. My all time favorite gujju dish :)

Being a bong, it's a stark difference having to celebrate it in Mumbai rather than in Kolkata. However, being born and brought up in Aamchi Mumbai, I've barely experienced it as a part of a pure Kolkata-nibashi. But for the times that I have, it's always an experience.
Even with that, all I can say is Aamar Shonar Bangla, aami tomai bhalo baashi!

That is the beauty of India. We have tongue twisting languages and dialects, mouth watering dishes from all over and a basic sense of Indianness all over. The locals may try to humiliate and terrorise the outsiders, but the outsiders' contribution to a city's growth like that of Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata is no less. The remedy for monstrous growth lies in stopping construction all new buildings and enterprises and strict enforcement of no more slums, no more pavement dwellers, no more beggars. Indian people first try to live on pavements, then move to slums, supplementing their unemployment periods with part time begging. Some of our biggest stars slept on pavements and then moved into palatial bungalows. Those who worship Stalin and Hitler must be aware of concentration camps and Siberian prisons which were used not only against Others but also for the dissenters from their own.

Time management:
MBA Entrance Exams :-- Last Week Tips on Time Management
With the pressure that builds up for the brain to perform, it needs rest as well to recuperate. So, do not
neglect rest. Move around for a few minutes after concentrating for an hour or two. Your body will give signal
for break when it needs. Stretch your arms and legs to release tension. Then come back to studies refreshed.
The time so spent should not be deemed to be time wasted but time well utilized. Your system needs it.

This blog lists songs that I heard live from a variety radio stations at that moment. I firmly believe that the best way to discover and enjoy music is through radio. Some of us may not be that fortunate to have access or bandwidth to listen to radio stations when they are on air. Hence, this is my small effort to help. Later, I may create a filtered list on a separate blog. Right now this is everything that was being played. No filter. So don't blame me if you don't like a song.

It was another rough night on the mat for the Waynesboro Indians wrestling team.
WAYNESBORO — It was another rough night on the mat for the Waynesboro Indians wrestling team.
Competing without four starters against the top-ranked District 3-AA team, the Tribe was routed by Boiling Springs, 65-7 in a Mid-Penn Colonial Division meet.
Ryan Neff (106 pounds) and Jake Wertz (126) were the only winners for Waynesboro (6-10, 3-3 MPC), which forfeited three weight classes. Two of the forfeits were due to injuries (160 and 285). Waynesboro has been giving up points in the 195-pound weight class all season.
Wertz, a freshman, was inserted into the 126-pound weight class after starter Colby Mowen suffered an injury last weekend at the Garden Spot Duals. Wertz went 2-2 in the tournament and wrestled well in securing a 9-2 decision over Mitchell Ptaszek.
"Jake has a lot of athletic ability and a lot of potential," said Waynesboro head coach Eric Mowen, whose team is back in action today and Saturday at the New Oxford Tournament. "He stepped in and did a nice job. As a freshman, he is learning how to win. He's learning how to do it at that level."
Wertz scored on a takedown in the first period and led 4-2 after two periods. Wertz dominated the third period, scoring on an escape followed by a takedown and two-point nearfall.
Neff had little resistance from his opponent in the 106-pound match. Neff went on the attack right off the whistle, scoring on a takedown and two-point nearfall on his way to a 15-1 major decision. Neff recorded two takedowns in the second period and reeled off seven points in the third period, including a six-point move (takedown and four-point nearfall).
"Ryan did a nice job," Mowen said. "He had a chance to get the pin. He looked better on his feet than he did in his last couple matches."
Boiling Springs (13-1, 4-1 MPC) thoroughly dominated the rest of the meet, winning five matches by pin, two by technical fall and three by forfeit.
"Considering they lost to Big Spring the night before and they were angry and upset, they wrestled with extra intensity," Mowen said. "All things considered, I thought we wrestled hard. Obviously, we were outmanned and they have a lot of good kids and talent.
"They were just better than we were — and without having a couple seniors (Jesse Smith and Colby Mowen) and giving up two extra forfeits we don't nomally give, it couldn't have gotten any worse."
Tribe senior Andrew Paterno wrestled well against Calvin Barrick in the 220-pound match, losing 8-4 against the fourth-ranked District 3-AA wrestler.
"That kid was 13-3, so Andrew slowed him down," Mowen said. "It was a scoreless first period and then the kid took him down and scrambled a little bit. Andrew had the kid on his back."
Paterno took the lead with an escape to start the second period. Barrick scored on a takedown moments later to take a 2-1 lead into the third period.

Jimmy Spencer Faces-Off With "Old DW"
Normally, the SPEED program called Victory Lane appears shortly after the Sprint Cup race is over on Sunday. Recorded live from the Victory Lane area at each track, the show then appears on SPEED at 8PM Eastern Time.
When NASCAR schedules the Sprint Cup race to be held on Saturday, a strange thing happens. SPEED holds the show until the regular time on Sunday night. Fans searching for post-race TV coverage are drawn to ESPNEWS, a network that began covering NASCAR extensively this season. The network provides live coverage of the press conferences from the Infield Media Centers, and has done a solid job this year.
After all the action on Saturday night, fans tuning into Victory Lane on Sunday got a whole lot more than they might have bargained for. Host John Roberts and panelist Kenny Wallace were still stunned by the final turn of events on the track as the program started, but another panelist was ready to speak his mind.
Jimmy Spencer is far removed from his title as "Mr. Excitement." His presence on TV has been an interesting mix of colossal mistakes and fascinating insights. On this Sunday night, Spencer was about to have the best TV show of his entire career.
With Roberts and Wallace at a loss for words about the Busch vs. Earnhardt incident, it was Spencer who stepped right-in and began with a shot at NASCAR on Fox analyst Darrell Waltrip.
"What I heard on Fox was just political correctness. They are trying to make it right. Kyle Busch made a major, major mistake here. This guy (Busch) needs to respect the lead (of the race). He drove in the corner too hard and he took out Dale Junior. I think he went over the line and that is my opinion," said Spencer.
Victory Lane uses hard working Bob Dillner as a reporter. On this show, he delivered great sound with Dale Earnhardt Jr. and pushed him a bit on-camera. After Earnhardt delivered a patient answer about the incident, Dillner asked him about some additional team radio comments about Kyle Busch.
Junior responded "you just put words in my mouth trying to start some crap." Earnhardt then followed it up with what is destined to be a classic. "If I want to talk to Kyle I have to get in line," said Junior. Dillner has been outstanding on this series, and his ability to get in the media crunch and come out with the story was on display again Sunday night.
Spencer was on a roll, and he continued with his analysis of exactly what happened with Busch and Earnhardt. Spencer spoke directly to the fans in very plain and simple terms. He broke things down to the basics.
"He (Busch) overshot the corner. He drove in maybe fifty or seventy-five feet too far. Junior gave him the room that he needed and Kyle took too much. That is for me, disrespect for your fellow competitor. He just did not respect Junior enough to back down a little bit," stated Spencer.
It was Bob Dillner's turn again, and this time he had Kyle Busch exclusively for SPEED. Dillner set the table, and let Busch comment on the entire incident and what led up to the contact. Busch half-jokingly said this night might have ruined his career. Dillner allowed Busch to talk, and then asked him what he might have done differently. His answer was simple, just go into the corner a bit lower.
This was Victory Lane giving both drivers an opportunity to speak to the issue. It was also a perfect opportunity for Spencer to sum-up his thoughts. Spencer's point was easy to understand. In Busch's interview he spoke to many topics, but never apologized to Dale Junior for effectively ending his night.
"He is a talented driver and the sport needs him," said Spencer. "He will heal from this, he will win more races, he will contend for the championship. He just has to learn a little bit more maturity."
Kenny Wallace then said this could be the turning point in Kyle Busch's career. It was Busch himself with Dillner who suggested he might have ruined his career with that one move and the subsequent accident.
From start-to-finish, this show belonged to Jimmy Spencer. Love him or hate him, this is the role that SPEED hired him to fill. He provides analysis based on his many years in several forms of racing, and then adds-in a unique opinion that is often the most memorable of all the NASCAR racing analysts.
As this show continues to gain momentum, SPEED may reconsider a late night Saturday airing for the remaining night races. With Darlington looming, Victory Lane is set for even more fireworks under the lights.

JD, you hit the nail on the head. Jimmy was outstanding tonight. He was able to articulate very clearly his viewpoint while explaining the nuances of close racing for a win in the closing laps. Later in the show his comment comparing mistakes he made in his racing days to that of Kyle's was priceless. Wish we could see more of that side of Jimmy rather than the many times he inarticulately puts his foot in his mouth, not thinking before he speaks. A side note, I know you don't do Wind Tunnel, but Dave was great tonight with the Jr/Kyle issue.

As good as it was it would have been even better after the race. I understand they want their block on Sunday night but what would be wrong with running it right after a Saturday night race and again Sunday evening. The folks who want it immediately are happy and the ones who want to go to bed and catch it later are happy.
Just a thought...

As I posted on your other blog. I thought this was Jimmy's best show this year. From the first minute of the show he started. He took the bull by the horns tonight. Nice job Jimmy.Keep up the good work.

I don't agree with Spencer. That was just good, hard racing as Childress and Bowyer said. If the roles were reversed,nobody would even be talking about it. It's politically correct not to ever find fault with Junior. Kyle did the unforgiveable-he tangled with Junior. I didn't hear Junior apologize when he wrecked Kyle a couple of times in last year's Chase. The one incident at Talledega early in the race was so obvious that all three drivers on Monday night's Speed show with Despain said it was intentional.First we complain about boring races,then complain when they race hard.I guess its all right to race hard-as long as Junior's not on the losing end?

I was glad to hear Spencer call out DW on his PC comments. I'm sincerely tired of DW and his lovefest with Kyle. It's almost funny in that he did the same stuff with "Junebug" and it bugged me too. Now that Kyle's in a Toyota, DW can't get enough of him. I'd really like to have the race called in a professional manner, not with so much cheerleading. I thought Speed did a good job of presenting the post race stuff, but I agree that it would be really nice to have it right after the race and rerun it the next day.

There is something about Jimmy Spencer that you just have to like. He never seems to have an agenda, and that makes him dangerous and interesting.
Yeah, he may say something stupid, but he will admit it, apologize for it, and I believe he he is always sincere about it.
Really, who else gets away with chewing a cigar on TV? Name somebody, I dare you to.

Jimmy Spenser is no one to talk about disrespect. How many time in his career did he spin someone out? He got the name Mr. Excitement because he drove like Kyle Bucsh does except without the wins. I'm not a Kyle Busch fan and I thiink he should have backed up the corner and given alittle bit, but Spenser is not the person that should be calling him on it. I also don't like the lovefest that DW has for Kyle. Just call the race and comment on all the driver. No one said anything about Mikey, or if they did I missed it.

I was glad Jimmy finally got out what needed to be said. I love Jimmy because he does speak his mind. Kyle could have moved Jr. up the tract, but he chose to get into him enough to spin him - it was a perfect "pit maneuver". it was his choice and he doesn't care what the public thinks. He is so jeolous of Jr.'s status with the public that it gets to him - he is a loser even if he wins races. you give no respect, you get no respect.

Agree w/your comment on Jimmy. Every once and awhile it is always good to lighten up in ending a comment as you did, thanks. BTW, Kinky Friedman stills chews a cigar on The O'Reilly Factor and once and awhile on Imus in the morning.

Just good hard racing. 18 maybe should have backed off a little, maybe not. Ask yourself, would Mark Martin have charged that hard and caused a wreck, probably not. I was/am a 3 Car fan. He often said Martin was the "best pure race car driver". Now, do i like Kyle, NO...he's like his brother, he has no class. He's very talented, but he needs a "Jimmy Spencer" smack in the nose, which i think may come from someone in the future. But the wreck, just hard race'n. On to the next track..The Lady...

Although I am not sure I agree totally with everything Jimmy said the way he presented it made me much more accepting especially the respect part. His total focus and control as he gave his opinion really made him shine. Sometime Jimmy can go off and make himself look ridiculous and that's when I stop listening, I listened to him Sunday. I think part of the reason he was so focused is because Kyle's behavior reminds him of himself and he thinks he is too good of a driver to go down that same path. I wonder if we saw VL Sat night if everyones emotions would have been so high we wouldn't have been as willing to listen to the guys opinions. I also watched WT and many people there thought it was just a racing deal, it will be interesting to see what JR has to say next week on Trackpass. They did mention Mikey and I found it interesting that although Jimmy thought it was wrong he was less critical of MW. I guess that is becasue it wasn't for the win.

Unfortunately, due to a local power outage, I missed Victory Lane last night. I appreciate the column and comments to catch up on what happened.
I've always liked Jimmy, even when he says things that make me shake my head. :)
DW has a habit of getting on one theme and running it into the ground. A few seasons ago, it was "Tony Stewart must be parked" and now it is "Kyle Busch must be adored". There were other drivers in between those two that I've forgotten. The sad thing is that most of the FOX crew follow right behind him and they should know better. Whenever they stop trying to come up with the right nickname for Kyle, I will be grateful.

Jimmy was right and Kenny Wallace was right there with him, putting his own terminology on the matter, but the sentiment was the same.
Frankly, I think the fact that Jimmy has actually done stupid, or ill-considered moves on the track distinctly qualify him to have an opinion. Has he not personally experienced the results of his actions? Can he appreciate consequences? I'd have to think so.
A driver of Kyle's caliber (which is darned high) only makes a "mistake" like that because he doesn't respect the leader or the other driver (take your pick) enough to care about what may be the result of that sort of banzai move. It's not driver error, it's a mental shrug and "damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead!"
That is what Jimmy Spencer and Kenny Wallace were trying to articulate. It's a lack of respect for another driver and for the circumstance of the moment.

For me, anything that Jimmy Spencer says about Kyle Busch will always be tempered by his punch out of Kurt Busch and subsequent suspension after the 2nd Michigan race in 2003.

I enjoyed the show, and for once didn't fast forward through most of it. Spencer was in top form and I was impressed with Dillner's interviews of Earnhardt and Busch. But Dillner didn't ask Hamlin why he stopped on the track to bring out the yellow. I expected him to ask that and was disappointed he didn't. To me, that one question would have made the show perfect. (And it would have given Spencer and Wallace even more to talk about.) They were so fired up they didn't even do the usual lap-by-lap breakdown of the race to fill time!

in re: dilner/earnhardt exchange about the "noodle" comment? word is that the voice on the radio who made the comment to which dilner referred was, in fact, tony eury jr, not earnhardt, jr. granted, their voices can sound alike but i can't hear the word "noodle" coming out of dale's mouth. that's why earmhardt stated that dilner was trying to put words into his mouth. don't know where the confusion occurred but it is simultaneously funny and annoying. need to make certain one knows whom one is talking about before one addresses it with the driver, doncha' think?

Thank you Jimmy for finally calling DW to task. He and his Fox buddies have created a monster named Kyle Busch. The way they praise him for his wreckless, dangerous driving is only fueling his ego. As he said Friday night after the Nationwide race, he will wreck as may cars as it takes.

I have been on both sides of the love/hate thing with Jimmy. Tonight he was priceless!! Larry Mc started with 'truth' in the booth by saying Kyle's tires turned into Junior...and then the excuses and cover began. I won't go into the Toyota connection to one of the announcers. (I wonder if he knows how much he has undermined his own credibility in these past few months. No one likes to have their intelligence insulted.)
Anyway, may the Good Lord smile on Jimmy and bless his heart and pockets! : )

Spencer is the real deal, like him or hate him, he lets it fly!
I guess it is taken for granted that if the roles were reversed, Jr. would have been tagged with Rubb'n is Racin' or chip off the old block.
Now I have to hear about respect? Jr. will never have as many wins as Kyle Busch.
I wonder how Jr. felt when he dumped Kasey Kahne at Richmond and shout him out of the chase?

Jr. is always right posted:
"Now I have to hear about respect? Jr. will never have as many wins as Kyle Busch."
Umm - doesn't Little E have eleven more wins than Little Busch? (17 vs. 6). Maybe you meant in the Nationwide series, where Jr. has a 22 to 14 lead in wins (and two championships) over Busch.
Regardless, Mr. Excitement continues to be a valuable addition to SPEED by saying just what he's thinking at the moment, unfiltered and unedited. He would not fit in at all at the "WWL in Sports" but that's nothing but good news for some of us racing fans who are quite happy to have him on SPEED.
And Jimmy Spencer never forgets.

In this three-part series, Karen Grigsby Bates talks with children of Medgar Evers, Viola Liuzzo and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to see how they've coped with the burden and privilege of their legacies.
Most Americans think of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as a brilliant young minister who was one of the architects of the civil rights movement, and who was martyred for it in 1968. But to the revered leader's eldest son, Martin Luther King III, the famous man was just "Daddy." And like millions of other daddies across the country, he got pestered by his kids when they wanted something.
Martin Luther King III chuckles, remembering how he and his older sister Yolanda used to clamor to go to Funtown. They frequently drove by the segregated amusement park with their mother, Coretta Scott King, as they dropped off their father at the airport for one of his many out-of-town speaking engagements or rallies.
Martin Luther King III recalls, "Many of those times, we were told, 'You're not able to go now, but Daddy's working on it, and one day we will be able to go.' "
Like a lot of black parents in the segregated South, Martin Luther King Jr. and Coretta Scott King tried to protect their children from the myriad indignities of Jim Crow. When the family did eventually get to visit the amusement parks that Martin Luther King Jr. and his associates worked to desegregate, Martin Luther King III remembers that his father went with them.
He "rode on all the rides, and just enjoyed himself thoroughly," Martin Luther King III says. And they dressed, of course, in the accepted armor of respectability worn by protesters and integrators alike: their Sunday best.
Martin Luther King III recounts this and other stories from his childhood in his new children's book, My Daddy, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Martin Luther King III had been thinking about writing about his child's-eye view of his father for almost a decade, but the 50th anniversary of the March on Washington became a personal deadline. The book, written for young children, has just been published, three weeks ahead of the anniversary.
Now Martin Luther King III and his wife, Andrea, have a 5-year-old daughter, Yolanda Renée. She was named for Martin Luther King III's oldest sister, who died suddenly in 2006. In the book, young Martin Luther King III tells readers about the games he played with his father.
Martin Luther King III also retells stories of accompanying his father on marches from time to time. On one, they were confronted by a police officer "with a huge dog that growled at me. I was terrified." That is, he was scared until his dad took his hand and told him they would be fine.
"I felt safe. My dad was not a tall man, but he always made me feel like he was a giant. I was never afraid when I was with him," Martin Luther King III writes.
Long after his father's death, Martin Luther King III has had to deal with others' expectations that he would take up the cause. King is deeply grateful that decades ago, his mother relieved him of some of that pressure.
"You don't have to be your father," Coretta Scott King told him. "Just be your best self, whatever that is. We are going to support you."
But Martin Luther King III did partly follow in his famous father's footsteps. He graduated from Morehouse College, his father's alma mater, and he participates in a fair amount of social and civic activism. (Two recent examples: he's been arrested in front of the Sudanese embassy for protesting the genocide in Darfur, and has demonstrated in favor of immigration reform.) He's a co-founder of Bounce TV, a broadcast channel aimed at African-American viewers.
And in a few weeks, he will be in Washington, D.C., at the 50th anniversary of the march. And there will, inevitably, be a recap of his father's globally-known — and now copyrighted — "I Have a Dream" speech.
As one of "my four little children" that Martin Luther King Jr. hoped would be judged not by his skin but by the content of his character, Martin Luther King III will be at the anniversary of the March on Washington as a witness for his own child. And to remind people of the different America his father helped create.
Between 1954 and 1968, more than three dozen people lost their lives in the civil rights movement. A few of them were household words, others were footnotes in history. Some of the people who paid the highest cost were the children of what many call the movement's martyrs.
As part of NPR's focus on the pivotal summer of 1963, NPR's Karen Grigsby Bates spoke with people who lost parents in the battle for racial equality. Today, in part one, she speaks with a child of civil rights royalty.
KAREN GRIGSBY BATES, BYLINE: If you say civil rights martyr, most people immediately think of this man...
DR. MARTIN LUTHER KING JR.: Like anyone, I would like to live a long life. Longevity has its purpose. But I'm not concerned about that now.
BATES: Martin Luther King Jr. uttered those words during a speech in Memphis Tennessee on April 3, 1968. He was there to help black sanitation workers as they struck for safer working conditions and fair wages. Less than 24 hours later, terrible news raced across the country.
SENATOR ROBERT F. KENNEDY: Martin Luther King was shot and was killed tonight in Memphis, Tennessee.
MAHALIA JACKSON: (Singing) Lord, hold my hand and don't let me...
BATES: The King funeral was nationally televised. The country was riveted by the sight of King's children sitting in the front pew of Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta next to their grieving mother. Twelve-year-old Yolanda, 10-year-old Martin, seven-year-old Dexter and their five-year-old sister Bernice became symbols of the cruelty of that loss.
JACKSON: (Singing) Lord...
BATES: In 2008, an adult Martin Luther King III addressed the Democratic National Convention in Denver and told delegates how pleased he believed his father would have been with the party's nominee, Barack Obama. Dr. King may not have been with them physically, but...
MARTIN LUTHER KING III: You know, we are all children of the dream, and he is here in all of our hearts and minds.
BATES: Now 55 years old, Martin Luther King III lives and works in Atlanta. He's one of the founders of Bounce TV, a broadcast channel devoted to African-American interests. He has been involved in social activism, but he's resisted being a carbon copy of his father.
MARTIN LUTHER KING III: I learned not to try to measure myself by what my father did, because if I was awaken every morning and try to be Martin Luther King Jr., I would fail miserably. I have to be the best Martin Luther King III that I can be.
BATES: He's been lauded for lending his famous name and presence to several causes, from stopping genocide in Darfur to reforming U.S. immigration policy. But he and his siblings have been criticized for copyrighting their father's "I Have A Dream" speech and charging for its use. After Coretta Scott King and their sister Yolanda died a few years ago, the remaining Kings publicly squabbled over the management of the King Center. That kind of confrontation was atypical for Martin King, who says he's been shy and cautious since childhood. He resigned as president of the center last year but remains on its board. In 2008, Martin King and his wife Andrea became parents. King has just published a children's book, "My Daddy, Dr. Martin Luther King." It's dedicated to his five-year-old daughter, Yolanda Renee.
MARTIN LUTHER KING III: It's really written for young children to get a context and an understanding that, yes, Martin Luther King Jr. was a civil rights leader, but he was a dad first.
BATES: In the book, young Marty King recalls riding past a popular segregated amusement park as the family drove to the airport to drop Dr. King off for one of his many trips.
MARTIN LUTHER KING III: We must have passed by Six Flags a hundred times and many of those times we were told, well, we're not able to go now, but daddy's working on it and one day we will be able to go. [POST-BROADCAST CORRECTION: Six Flags Atlanta was never segregated. Martin Luther King III most likely was referring to Funtown, a whites-only amusement park in Atlanta that his father helped to desegregate.]
BATES: Meanwhile, they had their own fun at home. In this passage, King reads about one of his favorite games: his father places young Marty on top of the refrigerator.
MARTIN LUTHER KING III: (Reading) I imagined swinging from the ceiling fan as if I were flying in my own airplane. Then I would let my daddy catch me as I fell into his arms.
BATES: Where, he says, he always felt safe. His father's spirit will be very much with Martin King on August 28th, when he'll speak in Washington, D.C. at the 50th anniversary commemoration of the March on Washington. Karen Grigsby Bates, NPR News.
MARTIN: Karen covers race, ethnicity and culture for NPR's Code Switch team. Tomorrow on MORNING EDITION, she talks with the daughter of Viola Liuzzo, the only white woman murdered in the struggle for civil rights.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: I was six. I couldn't understand why somebody would kill her. She was trying to do something good.
MARTIN: You're listening to WEEKEND EDITION from NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

What advice do you have for someone who's considering starting their own blog?
Don't start doing Sunday Sound Outs because it takes a lot of time going through everyone's questions, but once you start, you won't be able to stop.
Hello! I experienced something recently, and I was wanting to get a parent's take on it if you don't mind. My husband and I both work the graveyard shift. This allows us both time to attend afternoon classes at the local college, go to work, and still manage to get a few hours of sleep every night. This morning, we were woken to the doorbell ringing. When we answered the door there was nobody there. I walked to the end of the driveway and saw a parent walking their children down the street. They looked to be school-aged and the parent was pulling a wagon, so I figured maybe they were selling cookies or something. Though I personally feel fund raisers are rather annoying, I always buy something. Gotta support the schools, you know? Anyway, so I watched this group for a couple of minutes thinking maybe they would work their way back. What I saw bother astonished and angered me. They weren't selling anything. These kids were playing Ding Dong Ditch with the parent telling them good job. I started to walk down to them to let the parent know how I felt about her kids' behavior but someone beat me to it. She didn't even seem apologetic. So I'm wanting to get a parent's perspective on this. What do you think?
Clearly, this parent has no clue what she's doing. She should've taught the kids to run faster.
Hi Dawn, I'll be short and sweet. I love your blog and plan on getting your book when it comes out. My question is what blogs do you read in your spare (yeah right!) time?
I suck. I don't read any blogs regularly anymore. I just have such a hard time finding the time (what with Facebook and everything). :(
I think the photo question was referring to the photo shoot you had. I think it was one of just you that you promised some photos from. But I"m just guessing.
Ohhhhh! I totally forgot about those. Here are a few of them. The photographer did a nice job considering what she had to work with. I hate what I'm wearing. I thought I had packed a different shirt, but I forgot it. (I know - shocking coming from someone who forgot to pack PANTS this weekend!) I had to 86 the full-length ones. Scary.
The other day my six-year-old was SCREAMING at the top of his lungs in the church foyer. This particular kid has a lot of neuro issues and the people understand. However, one lady said, "I would go insane." I replied, "I am insane. I just hide it real well." Is that how you feel?
I think I passed "insane" and cruised right on to "numb".
At the bottom of your comment section of your blog there's:Links to this post What does that mean?
I dunno. I'm not real computery. I just type out words. How they show up on my page is a mystery to me.
I have to ask too...who made that gorgeous blanket in the background of the first video?
My grandma made it for me. :)
I have to ask...I know you are going to reply "no idea," but maybe someone else can enlighten me. Somehow over the year, my links to your site changed. I used to get an email with a link to your site. Now...I only get an email with the whole text listed. (so if I never go to your site do you get the "hit"?) I digress...I've tried to change my sign up to your site, but am unable to just get an emailed link, it only emails me the full text. I like going to your site because I can read comments and see all the exciting pictures, etc. I know, more rambling than you care to read, but it's annoying. Have you heard this from anyone else? Am I just blog impaired?
You are correct. I have no idea.
Are you going to post a picture of the fabulous cake you made?
I did at the bottom of this post HERE.
If Wisconsinite is for Wisconsin, what's the name for people living in Illinois?????
Fun! And I noticed the picture you took of you and DeeDee is from the waist up. Is that because you don't have any pants on?
Yeah, that and the fact that my camera isn't equipped with a wide angle lens.
My question: Why isn't Brooklyn's hands glued to the table? At least that would be something fun to blog about! LOL
I did blog about that! Or maybe I wrote it in my book. I can't remember. Anyway, I wrote somewhere about how Clay super-glued Brooklyn's hands together before she was even 1-year-old. That was awful.
Dawn: My children did this ONCE and never did anything like it again. It all boils down to training, parenting, and discipline. And the child KNOWING discipline is in ORDER before they ever do it again!
Sounds like you've got it all figured out. Congratulations! :)
How can Brooklyn know that you're mad at her when you're taking a picture of what she's done wrong? Do you say, "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! I NEED TO TAKE A PICTURE OF WHAT YOU'VE DONE SO I CAN SHOW THE POLICE WHEN THEY COME TO ARREST YOU!"
Well duh, Manic. Isn't that what you do? Speaking of my good friend, Manic...this is the last week to donate blood, save a life and enter to win a trip to sunny Florida! Head on over to her blog for details NOW!
Why is Jackson grounded? Did I miss something here?!
Jackson's always grounded from something. Usually it's his mouth that gets him trouble.
And by the 7 inches we're supposed to get by tomorrow, should I assume that the boots were put away or that the mere question of putting boots away incited this?
Uhhh, sorry about that. Just think how much we would've gotten if I'd let Savannah pack them away!
That's exactly why I don't have a cellphone. Ever considered getting rid of it? ;-)
Then how would I feed my Twitter addiction?
When you are away, at a conference or trip, who watches the kids?
Joe usually does. Thankfully his job is flexible enough that he's able to take time off. He's a good dad.
On a different note, how did the little lump Lexi found progress? Did you get it reevaluated?
Wow! You people have great memories! I'd forgotten about that. The lump went away on its own within a couple weeks. Thank you for asking!
Pitch in and help out? Heck, it's just easier and more time efficient if I just do it myself- the first time- correctly. Granted, I ask for help, but it is almost not worth the whining and bickering about who is doing more, better, faster, etc. Yup- I'm a looser mom raising a bunch of looser children : )
LOL! It takes a big person to admit that. :) I fully admit that although I really try to instill a decent work ethic in my kids, there are times when I simply push them out of my way and say, "I'LL DO IT!" because it's a thousand times easier than

How We Perform Carpet Cleaning
Our cleaners at Deluxe Carpet Cleaning Alphington are trained in both carpet steam cleaning as well as carpet dry cleaning. The choice of method depends on the kind of fabric your carpet is made of, the extent of cleaning required, how tough stains are there, and how old the carpet is. After keen inspection our expert cleaners will choose one of these methods that are explained below:
Carpet Steam Cleaning
Once we reach your property, we do a fiber test of the carpet to be cleaned. We have various eco-cleaning solutions that are designed for different types of carpet fabric. So we first need to know the fabric of the carpet to choose the right cleaning solution. We then use dry vacuuming that helps in getting rid of dry particles – soil, dust, food particles etc. In this step, the stains get loosened which are further treated with effective cleaning agents. These are tough on stains and mild on the fabric.
Once the stains are treated, we wash the carpet using hot water extraction. In this process, steam (instead of water) is used for carpet cleaning. We produce steam from hot water and infuse the same in carpet layers. This kills bacteria and contaminants. Afterwards extraction takes place thereby sucking out all water, cleaning solution along with the contaminants/pollutants from every layer of the carpet. Then we work on drying the carpet and once it is dry, we do carpet deodorization that leaves a pleasant fragrance.
Carpet Dry Cleaning
When we do carpet dry cleaning at Deluxe Carpet Cleaning Alphington, we understand the importance of using less moisture content and hastening the drying process. We use the latest technology where no moisture carpet cleaning is used for carpet cleaning and carpet stain removal. This leaves no moisture but only beautiful and clean carpets.
We pick the most appropriate cleaning solution after conducting a close scrutiny of the carpet fabric. Then we use latest vacuum machines to get rid of dry dirt and contaminants. We use special low moisture washing techniques to wash the carpet and remove stains at this stage only. Once done, we use vacuums again to dry the carpet. Be assured in this process your carpet is ready to be used again in no time.
