Fall Spirits Report: Week 6
Cross Country:
This Week:
The cross country team will head a couple blocks away to run in the Wilbur Ross Invitational hosted by Winston-Salem State University. The meet will consist of primarily NCAA Division II opponents. The host Rams just finished in 2nd at the HBCU Classic in Raleigh.
Last Week:
The team ran in the Charlotte Invitational and finished in 13th in the Green Division 6K. Natali Olveda (Salinas, CA) ran her personal best 6K in a time of 26:25.06 and finished in 53rd in the division.
This week:
The Spirits head out on their last road trip of the regular season as they travel to Alabama to take on Huntingdon on Saturday, and to Georgia to take on Wesleyan on Sunday.
Last Week:
The soccer team finished the week 2-1 with a home over Warren Wilson 4-3, and a home victory over Methodist 2-0. The Spirits dropped a 1-0 road match at Covenant. The team is currently 8-3 overall.

"America the Beautiful" was originally a poem written in 1893 by Katharine Lee Bates, who was inspired to pen the historic words after taking a memorable — and clearly, scenic — cross-country train trip from Massachusetts to Colorado. In the late 1800s, such a trip might have been grueling, but it was nonetheless considered exotic — whereas nowadays, it sometimes seems travelers aren't impressed unless they're crossing vast oceans and getting multiple stamps on their passports. But America is still the fair beauty of Bates's poem, and tons of gorgeous sites and settings can be found right in our backyards. Even better, local travel is often relatively cheap and easy: There's no currency exchange, language barrier, or passport required, and even if you do fly, flights are certainly less expensive than those to far-flung international locales. Here are six amazing sites in the U.S. that you've got to see. (And don't worry. If you really must cross an ocean to feel like you're on vacation, we have some U.S. destinations where that is a necessity as well).
Bioluminescent Bay, Puerto Rico
If you've ever questioned whether the U.S. could be exotic, the Bioluminscent Bay in Puerto Rico's Fajardo will have you properly convinced. Just a short drive from Old San Juan, this famed "Bio Bay" puts on nature's most magnificent light show: At night, when the bay is inky black beneath the light of the moon, microscopic plankton glow turquoise as you paddle or swim through the water.
Where to Stay: El Conquistador Resort, A Waldorf Astoria Resort is just about as close as you can get to the Bio Bay. Even better, this luxe resort offers some of the Caribbean's most epic views.

I have listened to Back in Black so many times for so long that for a while it was the only AC/DC I listened to. One day I decided to pick up this album while shopping at Target and was blown away. I am not really a fan of AC/DC and just have Back in Black because it's one of those classic rock albums that you have to have in the collection. With this purchase though, I'm looking at picking up Highway to Hell and a lot of their older stuff. If you're even a casual fan of AC/DC and have only heard back in black, do yourself a favor and check it out. I guarantee you won't regret it.
Metal Album Reviews[RSS]
it seems alot of ppl say that this album isnt the best performance by any of the band members. on the contrary, i think this is ac/dc at the peak of their talents. the album is a bit slower than back in black, but i actualy prefer FTATR over black! the title track is a great rocker, probably the only popular one off the album. i put the finger on you and lets get it up are the only tracks i dont care much for, soemtimes ill skip them. inject the venom is my favorite song, its great, faster paced and catchy. from here on out the album stays pretty steady, no bad songs. so dotn let people tell you this is so much worse than back in black, this is a great album
I think that the main reason that this album is not looked at as a great AC/DC album is because people will not stop comparing it to Back In Black.Yes, Back In Black is one of the best rock albums ever recorded. Yes, Back In Black is by far AC/DC's best album ever.BUT….what you need to realize is that EVERY ALBUM AIN"T GONNA BE BACK IN BLACK! When a band has an extremly sucessful album like Back In Black, there is always an enormus amount of pressure to make the follow-up album just as good or better. And most always, it is not.With this album, however, I think that the band put together a solid ten-course rock n roll feast. The title song is one of their best, the cannons rule! Also Snowballed, COD and Evil Walks are good songs.So if you give this album the fair chance it deserves and listen to it without expecting Back In Black, you will like it, I PROMISE!
Of course, following up 1980's record breaking "Back in Black" would be quite difficult, whether you make that assumption by sales or by quality. But leave it to AC/DC to carry on the true tradition of classic rock-n-rollers, with 1981's "For Those About to Rock (We Salute You)." Here, the band explores all of their expected territory with epic rock anthems (the classic title track) and the predictably fashioned wine, women, and song scores ('Let's Get it Up,' 'Put the Finger on You'). But in a stunning yet well balanced manner, AC/DC brings listeners to a world on the streets, taking elements of frustration (the excellent 'Spellbound'), distrust (superbly crafted 'Night of the Long Knives') and rebellion ('Breaking the Rules'). 'COD' is classic AC/DC all the way, while the marvelous rockers 'Evil Walks' and 'Snowballed' seem to contradict the quintet's classic subject matter. Lead vocalist Brian Johnson's lyricism and bellows give the album its broad feel, while the guitar playing of Angus & Malcolm Young lead the rhythm section of Cliff Williams and Phil Rudd. Here in its remastered form, "For Those About to Rock" is one of AC/DC's peak accomplishments.
If you can find this version of "For those about to rock" you're in good company, because the brownish gold cover is identical to the copy on vinyl that I own, which means it's among the initial pressings.With Back in Black, AC/DC raised the bar so high that no one could top it, not even themselves. The only way you're not going to like For Those About to Rock is if you compare it to Back in Black, which is understandable, but for me personally I enjoy the album to the same extent as Back In Black. The title track was inspired by a the saying "For those about to die, we salute you" and the band simply changed a word. The song features cannon noises which build up for a grand finale. It is a concert staple, and justifiably so, but there's plenty more noteworthy tunes, among them are the verse-riff tandem of "Inject the venom", the relentless rocking of "Snowballed", "Night of the long knives" had a Back in Black-style groove, "Breaking the rules" is an anthemic, semi-bounce track. I recommend "For those about to Rock" wholeheartedly.

… is a live workshop for writers, artists, coaches, entrepreneurs + stretchy-minded kindred spirits.
On the surface, it's about copywriting + business strategy.
But really? It's about using the written word to remember who you are + reveal who you're becoming.
My promise?
ϟ You will craft a 'personal introduction' that makes sense. To you. And to everyone else in the room. Hallelujah!
ϟ You will walk away with a one-page declaration of who you are + why your work matters. Sweet simplicity.
ϟ You will explore 10 different ways to finish writing your bio. Once + for all. Ahhh. Relief.
ϟ You will learn how to write a 'sales page' that feels more like a love letter. At last.
ϟ You will sketch out a pitch letter that you're (actually) excited to send. Yes!
ϟ And you will be heard, seen + witnessed by people who get it. Word.
This workshop = more than the sum of its parts.
It's a powerful (yet peaceful) combustion of creative energy — the kind that happens when 20 beautiful strangers collide.
It's about your work, your word and your mark on the world.
And I can't wait to share it, with you.
The finer points …
Registration is (usually) priced at $450, and includes two full days of wordsmithery with me + 20 new friends.
Plus: a lovely lunch each day, coffee, tea, chocolate + fruit up the wazoo — and love, love, crazy love.
Your registration does not include airfare, hotel accommodation, lap dances, or the ability to levitate. (But I'm working on it.)
Many workshops feature special guests + surprises — like Kirtan chant performances, yoga instruction, 5 Rhythms dance, and more. You'll also hear me sing. (This may or may not be a good thing.)
You will write. A lot. Bring pens. Bring your laptop. Prime your mind.
And get ready to prove (to yourself) that clear, persuasive storytelling can be astonishingly simple.

PRAISE for my teaching + speaking …
"To work with Alexandra Franzen is to know her genius, her speed and her incredible ability to see who you are and celebrate it. (Then, she magically translates this into fluorescent words + copy).
Write Yourself Into Motion was seeing a bit of the method to her madness. I learned how to talk about my work in an empowered + enticing way, own my own genius, and to write powerful copy that inspires.
Not only did I leave with the sketch of a juicy project, I left with my soul furniture rearranged."
–Andrea Scher, Creator of Superhero Life
"I wanted to sincerely thank you for bringing your amazing, gorgeous self in front of all of us + for sharing your wisdom so beautifully.
You gently challenged us in all the appropriately uncomfortable ways, and sent us back into our everyday worlds as stronger people.
You are a force, Alexandra. What a wonderful, wonderful experience."
–Cynthia Haynes, Storyteller + Portrait Photographer
"Alex: you are the brightest light I've seen in a long time, and I was drawn to be in your space. Often, in my day-job, I feel like I'm a right-brain gal in a left-brain world. This weekend was a huge recalibration for me — a soul tune-up.
WRITE YOURSELF INTO MOTION connected me with other bright minds, gutsy ideas and inspirational energy. I feel my creative breath moving again … and I've got permission to live out loud!"
—Kim Berube, Founder of Big Love For Girls At Risk
"A gift from the universe, Alexandra Franzen comes blasting into her workshops on a magical unicorn.
She delivers an unforgettable experience that forces you to dig deep, uproot, and redefine you + your business — in your own words.
You'll craft bad-ass bios and majestic manifestos. And I guaran-damn-tee you'll impress the pants off people the next time someone asks, 'What do you do?'"
—Jenelle Montilone, Creator of TrashN2Tees + the Create Change App
"I've been teaching people to 'see' themselves from a new perspective for decades, and yet I'd never been fully invited to do it for myself. DUH! You really turned the mirror on me and I SAW!
Just after Write Yourself Into Motion, I wrote an email to my list re-announcing a workshop that was only half full. The email was cheeky, direct, artsy and confident — not stuffy in the slightest. And … the workshop filled in one hour … PLUS I have a waiting list that continues to grow … AND I had so many people on the waiting list that I created + filled a second date for the workshop. Now if that's not motion, I don't know what is."
–Lisa Mitchell, Art Therapist + Founder of The Inner Canvas
"I wish Alexandra could have been my communication guide + personal scribe throughout all my early years — and that's saying something, because I'm not too shabby with words, myself!
I've seen her in action, and she's got a knack for inviting conversation, and then swooping in + refining what each student is trying to articulate … bringing it right out of them, on the spot."
—Erika Lyremark, Business Coach | Creator of The Morning Whip
"You may know Alex Franzen as a brilliant writer, strategist and dispenser of panache-filled entrepreneurial wisdom. But she is so, so much more. Her secret is out … she's an astonishingly gifted teacher.
Alex teaches with heart, humor and a storyteller's dramatic flair. She knows so much about how to write brilliantly, cogently – about matching elegance of structure and form with depth and clarity of content.
And she has the rare ability of a true teacher to bring out the very best in her students. Her experiential, interactive exercises are perfectly designed to lead you to discover and express your own truth, in your own essential voice.
Embrace every opportunity to learn from her. You'll be so very glad you did!
—Hiro Boga, Intuitive Business Strategist | Creator of Become Your Own Business Adviser
"My favorite moment of the workshop? Honestly. I can't pick one.
It was epic moment followed by epic moment followed by tears of joy followed by OH MY GOD WOW followed by overflowing love followed by blinding brilliance.
And I'm not just saying that. I experienced it. It was major."
–Rachel Cole, Instigator of Ease | Coach | Creator of The Well-Fed Woman Retreatshop series
"Alex: you inspire me to be my authentic self and to embrace my unique gifts.
Spending two days with you has sparked a brand new program for me to create next year. This one program has been waiting to be born, be named and have a shape. Not only did I leave the workshop with a new program to launch in 2013, but I have the structure to create a great sales page, a video and my elevator intro.
Best of all? I am now connected to 19 other amazing women. Thank you for stepping into teaching."
–Sherold Barr, Freedom Fighter + Master Coach
"Word shifting muse of awesome! Watching you deliver your workshop was like staring into the face of the sun — so much radiant brilliance it was almost painful (in the best way possible).
Your questions helped me unclutter my mental landscape and find the words that have been waiting for me.
Thank you is a pretty pitiful gift in return — you deserve showers of roses and chocolates and odes in praise of your loveliness."
–Jessika Hepburn, Lead Editor | Oh My! Handmade Goodness
"Alex: I am in utter awe of you and the ease and fluidity with which you can completely transform someone's story into a captivating headline, an introduction that pulls others in, or the way people stand a little taller when they finally know how to answer the question 'so what do you do?'.
Just being around your genius was incredible — and, you helped name my baby! I'm feeling inspired and ready to take on the world!"
—Amy Deagle, Director of Expecting Success, Founder of The Rural Business Bombshells
"I came to this weekend with a new program in gestation. It had been in development for the last couple months, and I was getting ready to share it with the world. I just didn't know the words to use — it felt so big, and too complicated to condense down into a simple, easy sales page.
After Alex's workshop, not only did I leave with an outline for my sales page, but an updated bio, a 10-second introduction, an invitation to affiliates that is ready to be sent, and a re-ignited passion for the written word. In one weekend I moved from overwhelm to clarity in motion. Thank you."
–Ariana Pritchett, creator of Simply Living Coaching
"I was in LOVE with the entirety of the workshop. I feel like I was thrown into a blender, put on high, and then poured out into a new mold that looks exactly like I did before, but completely shaken up.
And now: I'm really clear, and really sure of where I want to go, and I have this weekend — and YOU, YOU AMAZING WONDERFUL THING THAT I WANT TO PUT IN MY POCKET AND PULL OUT TO DO TRICKS ALL. THE. TIME — to thank."
–Katy Werring, Aspiring writer | Amateur cellist | Lead blogstress at Velvet Boxes
"Dear Alexandra: You are a galaxy all your own. Thank you sooooo much for pouring out your GENIUS so freely and generously to all of us. For me, WRITE YOURSELF INTO MOTION was like getting everything I asked for, for Christmas — and then so many things I was afraid to hope for and then (!) a pile o' magic gifts I didn't even know existed!
The magic continues to work. I have an UnMasquerade Party booked. 25-ish invites went out on Thursday. And I rewrote 4 pages of my website effortlessly with the material you helped create at last weekend's workshop. You have very powerful mojo and I am blessed to be basking in it still!
Oh, and before WRITE YOURSELF INTO MOTION the best way I knew how to express myself was: 'I like cake.' True story.
I'm working on a better word for LOVE, cause 'I Love You, Alex' (also a true story) doesn't quite cut it here…"
—Jennifer Washington, The What Now? Coach
"Since coming home from your workshop, I have been sharing on my Facebook page in a different, more transparent way. My posts are getting shared a lot more (10x more!) and I'm receiving comments and messages of appreciation. I know I am beginning to reach my 'right people' and sinking into my brand. There's motion!
I feel grounded in my story and wisdom. Vulnerable + powerful. Its a beautiful thing! I feel like I've tapped into the secret ingredient my message needs to be memorable and inspiring. Thank you."
—Monica Fraser, Adventurer, Yogini + Practical Muse for Highly-Creative Women
"What I loved BEST about this workshop was the alchemy of ideas — how the weekend just bubbled and broiled and sizzled with new forms born out of old questions.
Alex was definitely our leader at the helm and Mad Hatter Scientist extraordinaire (Look ma! I'm not afraid to mix metaphors!) — she not only pulled just the phrase or brilliant idea out of her pocket at a moment's notice, she also created a snowglobe of a space where we could all shake it up a bit and find some freedom of expression that may not have been available to us before.
I left with tons of energizing ideas AND some ready-to-go written promos. Oh, and you know what else I left with? Some new creative friends! Not too shabby, eh?"
–Sherry Richert Belul, Celebration Concierge + creator of Simply Celebrate
"Write Yourself Into Motion is truly one of the best workshops I have attended. You gave each and every one of us your undivided attention, and did so with joy and grace.
I loved watching your wheels turn — it was like watching a great improv performance.
You helped me tremendously and I am extremely grateful."
–Ellen Fondiler, Career Strategist + Transition Trailblazer
"Your connection to the profound creative wisdom flowing through you is crystal clear.
You're changing lives with this work, and I'm so proud of you for owning your expressive awesomeness and serving the world with it in big, bold ways."
–Willo O'Brien, Artist, Entrepreneur + Social Supercollider
"Alexandra is a ridiculously talented writer, teacher, and spirit. When she guest lectures for my Clear Coaches program, the coaches RAVE and practically foam at the mouth with excitement with the content she delivers."
—Susan Hyatt, Martha Beck-certified Master Coach | Author of Create Your Own Luck: 7 Steps to Get Your Lucky On
"I go to ALX when I'm turning a corner. I go to ALX when I can't see the corner, but am pretty sure there is one.
I trust ALX with my clients and with my own business.
I went on a journey with Alexandra and I came back a different person.
There's a way in which she is available to her own vulnerability while she invites us to explore ours —
for good, not simple upheaval.
It's a rare occasion to be in the company of a wordsmith and come out feeling more than, instead of less than, but I felt stronger, more clear and more articulate after three hours with Alexandra than I had in six months of grueling copywriting, biographical explorations and $79 Say-What-You-Really-Mean e-products.
Live sightings of Ms. Alexandra are as rare as unicorns. Tarry not. Register, fly / bus / hike / covered wagon your ass to her workshops, talks or performances. You will never be the same and you'll thank your lucky stars you got schooled by Ms. ALX."
—Dyana Valentine, Speaker | Oracle | Creator of Woke Up Knowing
"During Write Yourself Into Motion my business plan for 2013 exploded in a soulfully satisfying {and crazy successful} way. Two months after the workshop I released my Write Yourself Into Motion concept, content, and copy into the world and here's what happened:
1. My event sold out in five days {eight months in advance!}
2. We raised enough money for 87 Kenyans to have access to clean fresh water
3. I had the best birthday celebration of my life
Watching Alex in motion and feeling myself rise up to join her is electrifying. I give her my highest level of recommendation."
–Gemma Stone, Psychologist + Guide | Creator of The Great Life Redesign

A former professional basketball player who earned $750,000
per year was sentenced Tuesday to nine months in prison after he failed to pay
child support.
Kenneth "Kenny" Ray Williams, 44, of Elizabeth
City, was named in an indictment filed on July 6, 2000, charging him with
willful failure to pay child support. On Tuesday, a judge sentenced Williams to
nine months in prison, followed by one-year probation.
Williams was also ordered to pay $661,277 in restitution.
Williams played basketball at Northeastern High School in
Elizabeth City before transferring to Fork Union Military Academy in Virginia
prior to his junior year. His senior year, Williams was named state player of
the year for North Carolina in 1988.
Although he was recruited to play at UNC, Williams did not
attend because he failed to meet the minimum academic standards of the
The Indiana Pacers drafted Williams in the second round of
the 1990 NBA Draft. By his fourth season with the Pacers, Williams was earning
$750,000 per year.
Williams was first ordered to pay $2,500 per month in child
support; in 1995 the support award was amended to include his third child and
he was ordered to pay $3,750 per month.
An investigation found that despite earning between $90,000
and $180,000 per year between 1995 and December 2000, Williams failed to pay
the child support.
"While he played basketball, drove fancy cars and lived
overseas, his former wife and three children were receiving Welfare and Aid to
Families with Dependent Children benefits," a press release from the
Department of Justice says.

Directed by Drama Desk Award nominee Tony Speciale (Classic Stage Company's Unnatural Acts, A Midsummer Night's Dream), with music by Manilow and a book and lyrics by Sussman, the co-production with Atlanta's Alliance Theatre plays through April 13.
The cast includes Will Blum (The Book of Mormon), Hannah Corneau (Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson and Fiddler on the Roof in Chicago), Chris Dwan (Off-Broadway's The Old Boy and Peter & I), Kennon (European tour of Madagascar), Larkin (A Little Night Music, Gypsy), Will Taylor (A Chorus Line, La Cage Aux Folles) and Douglas Williams, who were all seen with the production in Atlanta. New to the cast is Matt Bailey (first national tour of Jersey Boys).
The ensemble of Harmony plays numerous roles, ranging from audience members and people on a train to recognized historical figures like Marlene Dietrich, Albert Einstein and Richard Strauss — all of whom the Comedian Harmonists knew. Liberty Cogen, Bryan Thomas Hunt, Greg Kamp, Chad Lindsey, Lindsay Moore, Brandon O'Dell, Patrick O'Neill, Charles Osborne, Kim Sava, Dave Schoonover and Lauren Elaine Taylor again comprise the ensemble.
When Manilow and Sussman began working on Harmony, Roman "Rabbi" Cykowski was the only surviving member of The Comedian Harmonists and was able to talk with them about his life and experiences before passing away in 1998. His memories, along with available historical information, provide the basis for the musical.
Other members of the creative team include choreographer JoAnn M. Hunter, music director John O'Neill, set and costume designer Tobin Ost, lighting designers Jeff Croiter and Seth Jackson, sound designers John Shivers and David Patridge and projection designer Darrel Maloney. Lora K. Powell is the production stage manager, and Doug Walter is the orchestrator.

Ram lamb is just champion
9:37am Monday 18th June 2012 in Clent
ONE of the regular sheep exhibitors at the Three Counties Show in Malvern for the past couple of decades has been Clent-based Jane McMinn and last weekend's three-day show saw her add more certificates and rosettes to her growing tally over the years.
This time round, in partnership with Kevin Hammett under the Warham Court Farms banner, their ram lamb was adjudged the Dorset Downs breed champion.
Jane, who was a consultant radiologist at Birmingham's City Hospital until she retired five years ago, said: "We're very pleased to win. We only have a small flock of around 30 Dorset Downs on the farm at Calcot Hill. It's more like a hobby flock with them which makes this success even more special."
However, the Warham Court Farms partnership is a much bigger concern overall with 450 commercial ewes. They have 200 acres at Clent and a further 700 acres within the partnership.

Caramel Cake
This recipe for delicious caramel cake is courtesy of Dr. Maya Angelou and can be found in her cookbook, "Hallelujah."
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- Nonstick cooking spray with flour
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 1/4 cups sugar
- 1/4 cup Caramel Syrup, plus more for serving
- 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 2 large eggs
- Caramel Frosting
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray two 8-inch round cake pans with cooking spray, line each with a parchment paper round, and spray again. Set pans aside.
Step 2
Beat butter in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Gradually add 1 cup sugar and continue to beat until mixture is light and fluffy. Beat in syrup.
Step 3
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix flour mixture into butter mixture, alternating with milk, beginning and ending with flour mixture.
Step 4
Beat eggs until foamy in another bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment. Add remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue beating until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir into cake batter until well combined.
Step 5
Divide cake batter evenly between prepared pans. Bake until cakes spring back when gently touched in the center, about 25 minutes. If cakes do not spring back, return to oven and continue cooking about 10 minutes more.
Step 6
Cool cake in pans for 10 minutes. Invert cakes onto a wire rack and remove parchment paper round. Let cakes cool to room temperature before frosting.
Step 7
Place four strips of parchment paper around perimeter of a serving plate or lazy susan. Place the first layer on the cake plate. Spread the top of the first layer with frosting. Top with the remaining layer, bottom-side up. Spread entire cake with frosting; remove parchment paper strips. Serve cake drizzled with any remaining caramel syrup.

The recipe for the cake itself is fantastic
thanks you ^^
Faith Lynn25 Aug, 2013
The recipe for the cake itself is fantastic - but not too sure about the frosting and caramel sauce...
SousZQchef30 Mar, 2012
I used all of the caramel syrup (3 cups) and only half a cup of sugar and although it made the batter more soupy but the cake turned out more caramely and moist in the end. I also frosted it with Martha Stewart Chocolate Ganache Frosting and sprinkle dit with salt for a counterpoint. It was AMAZING!
dude12325 Oct, 2011
For me this cake was disgusting , it tasted like pure sugar eaten with a spoon. It's waaaaay too sweet , especially the caramel frosting , but if you still want to make this cake i suggest using half of the frosting or just as much as you need to cover the top and sides of cake. Don't get me wrong , I like sweet desserts like meringue , dulce de leche or pecan pie , but compared to this cake they are not sweet at all. It would be tasty if it doesn't have this overwhelming amount of sugar.
sweetthanz1 Oct, 2011
I've made this cake twice and plan to make it again for a potluck and work. I had never tasted a caramel cake until making this one. Absolutely delicious. My family loves it. I've also tried several other recipes from Dr. Angelou's cookbook. Her stories are wonderful as well.
zara1237 Jul, 2011
Love this cake! I make it with the syrup, or with out for an amazing yellow cake. For those who think its too sweet, just don't add the caramel syrup.
sarahk_21130 Jul, 2010
It's not my favorite cake but it was still very tasty.
JFisch15 Jun, 2010
I've made this cake numerous times - I highly recommend altering the syrup recipe. Instead of one cup of water, use a half cup. Wait until all the sugar has carmelized before adding the water. This will make it thicker. Also - the frosting recipe is not enough for a 3 layer cake - you might consider doubling it. And yes, this is a sweet cake.... as cakes are supposed to be sweet.
slosh871516 Apr, 2010
The last review has me stumped. She complained the cake was way too sweet and sickly yet served it with ice cream? (more sugar?)
Schwabengirl16 Mar, 2010
This cake was waaay to sweet. If you don't like to be sick afterwards and have your kids run on a sugar high for hours = don't bake it. My husband loves caramel and it looked so yummi. He does like his cake sweet but even for him it was too sweet. Without ice cream on the side to balance the sugar it would have been not edible. We ended up throwing half the cake out.

This cake is SO GOOD - I made it for my son's 1st birthday and everyone loved it - they said it was the best cake they tasted! I will make it again for sure.
chefbb31727 Apr, 2008

StableMom14 Mar, 2008
This cake reminds me of an old recipe my parents both learned from their mom's. Instead of 2 layers, turn it into 4 or even 8, and it's even more amazing!!!
dollbedmaker24 Jan, 2008
This cake is amazing we made it three times and love it each time. We use carmel pieces and melt them down and use that in the cake and drizzled over the top. The browned butter adds an amazing flavor. My guest just want to eat the left over frosting!!! YUM!!!!
chagolla0818 Jan, 2008
OMG this looks so good i think im going to try it! =]
Delftblue16 Jan, 2008
Very moist and delicious cake. However, I don't taste the caramel. There is only 1/4C in batter and no caramel at all in the "caramel" frosting. The only other caramel represented in the recipe is the drizzle on top of the cake. I would call this a yellow cake with brown butter frosting and caramel drizzle. Still very good though, I will use this as my yellow cake recipe from now on.
micheleh10 Jan, 2008
This cake is so delish! I made it twice and will make it again.
TabithaW1 Jan, 2008
I have been looking for this recipe. Thank you for positing it Martha. My mother was raised in mississippi and enjoyed this cake so much that she always told me about it. Mom could not remeber how to make it. I am making this cake for the second time. Very popular in my house.

I tried the Caramel cake
kmmelton21 Dec, 2007
I've baked this cake 3 times now. It's absolutley delicous. This recipe also brought me to this websight. Love it, Love it Love it...
nightowl20 Dec, 2007
I've watch this video 3xs! I was so intrigued with this wonderful lady, I missed the demonstration twice. Well, I must make this cake
j9nd200028 Nov, 2007
i made this for thanksgiving and my family LOVED it. i misread the recipe for caramel syrup (it said one recipe of caramel syrup was enough for ONE 8" cake and i made it a two layer cake) so it had HALF as much caramel syrup in the batter than was called for. and i thought it was perfect!! maybe that's why potretsenaz thought it was too sweet ... ??
potretsenaz28 Nov, 2007
am I baking the right way???..coz i think it's too sweet for me..
clock5023 Nov, 2007
I made this cake for Thanksgiving and my family loves this caramel cake . It was a easy cake to make.
micheleh21 Nov, 2007
This cake is so delish, I have made it 3 times already. I do use alot more confection sugar when making the frosting. Yum.
Cheburban17 Nov, 2007
I will be making this cake for Thanksgiving. My son can't wait. Although I don't have a fancy mixer, I will be doing it the old fashioned wa, by hand. Since it is an "old" family recipe, it should come out fine. I would love to see Dr. Angelou on the show again and plan on getting her cookbook.
elainesf16 Nov, 2007
I can't wait to make this recipe. One of the most enjoyable segments!
lmcgram12 Nov, 2007
Dr. Maya Angelu's story of origin is so awe inspiring, as she always is. This cake will be on our table during the holiday times.
Thank you for having one of the most inspiring person on your show.
gloriarobison9 Nov, 2007
The cake is very good on its own. The frosting is very sweet, but for those with a sweet tooth, it is great. Make sure the caramel is cold when added to the butter and sugar. Try this recipe. It is good.
Cathy-by-the-river5 Nov, 2007
Love this new feature on Martha's website. When I'm ready to make this cake--I'll know where the recipe is located. Thanks!
Erin O-Sullivan5 Nov, 2007
This is it - my new favorite. My Mom saw the show and asked me to bake it for her 65th. I was a bit tweaked because she usually wants my special cake - but how do you say no to a 65th birthday wish. I made it the night before so it had time to set and it was delicious, moist, firm and tender, all at the same time. I think I'll make it to ring in the new year!
babygirlfarmer4 Nov, 2007
I just signed up on this website just to get this recipe and try it. On your show Friday Martha this cake looked and sounded most delicious. I will let you know when I bake how it turned out.
marthaguy4 Nov, 2007
This is one of the most delicious cakes I've ever baked and tasted! It will quickly become one of my family favorites!

- Surprisingly SlowBNA1203Dined on 8/31/2014We've always had great service at the miami Nobu. This time, that was not the case. We left after an appetizer because no one tended to our order. The app was actually the wrong one, even though we had to order it twice. Really disappointing.Special Features:
- An average over-priced restaurantRogerDined on 8/24/2014Had a starter vegetable tempura, tofu entre and trout. They were ok on the whole by American standards, but therefore should have been priced the same as your average pseudo-Japanese place. Everything we ordered tasted overpoweringly of Ponzu which showed the calibre of the chefs there. Overall disappointing, will not recommend or return myself.Special Features:
- Espectacular! lo mejor!HanniaGMDined on 8/23/2014Me encanta y estudio gastronomia, y este lugar me hizo volar a otros mundos de sabores que nunca habia experimentado!!!! Espero volver a viajar a otro pais donde haya un restaurante Nobu para repetir tan maravillosa experiencia gastronomica. Estoy en busca de los cookbooks del señor Nobu para aprender esa manera tan consiente y apasionada de cocinar. Fue mi mejor experiencia en la visita a Miami, mi esposo y yo quedamos sin palabras. Espero un dia llegar a ese nivel de cocina. Gracias por la atencion.Special Features:
- GiosyDined on 8/17/2014Sushi is great but it's defenetevely too expensive!!!
- Good food in a fancing placeErikidsDined on 8/16/2014It is a hot spot, cool and vibrating place with Excelllent food. The tasting menu is great!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- twofordinnerVIPDined on 8/13/2014wine list poor. Service very slow. Overprised for food quality.
- Fabulous dinnerKeywesterDined on 8/2/2014We have been to Nobu in New York and were very happy to find a slightly different menu in Miami. Everything we ordered was delicious, but even more impressive than the amazing food was the outstanding service. So many people helping, we never wanted or waited for a thing. Highly trained, very accommodating staff. Will definitely be back the next time we are in town.Special Features:
- SchnitzDined on 8/2/2014A Treat, food was excellent. But very expensive. A one time visit to experience great cuisine is sufficient.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointingATXFoodieDined on 8/1/2014Expected far more since I have been to Nobu London & Cape Town, both were far more upscale in decor, dress code & menu. Only highlight was the Miso Black Cod, as for the rest of the menu we've had better sushi at our local in Austin!
- 5 star MiamiJames1000VIPDined on 7/31/2014We have eaten in the Nobu's in London, NYC, Budapest - Miami menu is different but has all the classics - family of four had a night of foodie indulgenceSpecial Features:
- Excellent Sashimilove4foodDined on 7/24/2014Great sushi, excellent sushi, still stunning flavors and great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- poor ambienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 7/17/2014Food was really ok. Service Level compared with proposed gratuity of around 20 percent not covering our expectation. It was more a Main Station Feeling instead of upper class dining. Speaking together not possible. It was too loud. So overall cost/benefit ratio not ok. Price Level too high for that. We were really disappointed.Special Features:
- Great and ExpensiveSilvaDined on 7/17/2014Great food, very good service, extremely expensive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- In every city, always great.VWS595Dined on 7/12/2014We have been to Nobu in Miami, Malibu, and New York. We always have a great experience. We could eat unlimited yellowtail & jalapeno every time. Look forward to our next Nobu experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Unbelievable dinnergreatniteVIPDined on 7/12/2014This was an unbelievable dining experience. Some of the most delicious food I have ever eaten. The lobster risotto and pork belly was incredible. The service was excellent too.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- vidaDined on 7/6/2014Muito bom!!! Ficamos na dúvida do cardápio, fomos muito bem orientados pelo Garçom, as sugestões foram excelentes.Special Features:
- overpricedsophiaDined on 7/5/2014We visited Nobu some years ago and had good experience, so we went back again. However, portion got smaller and dishes are more overpriced. We are disappointed by declining of taste and of curtesy of dishes. For example, chef's selection should come with best ingredients, but key element was missing; some of the dishes has misleading name. "Hiyashichuka" supposed to come with specific chuka noodles, but it was made of somen and with strange taste. Should change the name of the dish.
- Great Food, Poor AmbienceLoriInDCDined on 7/3/2014The food and service were great - as expected from Nobu. But the dining room look and feel was disappointing. Although it was difficult to get a reservation, the restaurant was half empty.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- No foodFoodie101Dined on 6/28/2014The food was very impressive, but they were stingy with the amount of food they gave for such an expensive price. My night ended with a large bill and a hungry family. Don't get me wrong though, I truly did enjoy the food they have! If you want to go to Nobu just be prepared and have a bite to eat before you enter the restaurant.Special Features:
- meal worth the priceFoodiewithtwinsDined on 6/27/2014It was definitely expensive but the food was fantastic- sashimi was fresh and tasty, cooked dishes were perfectly done, all using the choice parts of a fish. Subtle flavors came through. Definitely be back next time we are in Miami.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Give it a missSeasonedtravellerDined on 6/26/2014Don't bother with this one, food is very americanised and doesn't come close to the London or Hong Kong restaurants. Has a diner like feel instead of a high end restaurant. For anyone who has sampled other Nobu restaurants or other notable Japanese restaurants you will be very disappointed.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2012VIPDined on 6/20/2014Over priced and portions are very small.. Nobu should be ashamed of this restaurant
- Disproportionate price-qualit ratioFinereviewDined on 6/12/2014In an almost empty restaurant rather inexplicably we're seated near the fire exit. We tried the chef's special -85$- which consisted in five courses one of them being the desert. It was good but not exceptional by far. Too expensive for what it offers.Special Features:
- Take a pass on Nobu Miami!OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/12/2014Disappointing on all levels - grossly overpriced, ridiculously tiny portions and wooden tables with no linens! Still hungry after dropping $350 - went for pizza! Next night experienced Sushisamba - outstanding!
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 6/10/2014loved it and al of Nobu's restaurants. We have been to many Nobu and Matsuhisa establishments over the years and they never disappoint us.Special Features:
- Nobu is the bestMiguelDined on 6/6/2014Been going to Nobus for years, my first time in Miami. As usual excellent food, wish it was closer to go often.Special Features:
- Always SpecialnacecDined on 5/30/2014Nobu never fails. The food is outstanding: fresh, creative, and presented beautifully. The service is impeccable. For a hot, (still) trendy, hip place, Nobu delivers what matters: food and service. (Oh, and outstanding drinks as well!)Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 5/28/2014Food was mediocre, ambiance nothing special , very noise , I left the restaurant still hungry, bill was over $300. Not recommended
- Amazing food, high price20yearstogetherDined on 5/24/2014We had a terrific meal, can't say enough about the yellow tail appetizer, and the waitress was extremely knowledgable and helpful. Be prepared for the prices, though, especially if you want to sample the specials.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- NiceBirthdayGirlDined on 5/23/2014Not quite what I expected, but it was nice. I have no complaints.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Overall lived up to expectation.MrWorldwideDined on 5/18/2014Being my first visit to the famous Nobu, i had a high standard in mind. The food definately lived up to expectation. Flavour, texture, presentation were great! The surroundings were rather a disappointment though. I think i was expecting something chic & refined, so was suprised to find the decoration as textured wood & turquoise tiled combo; the effect being somewhat 'garish'; certainly not with the finesse i had been expecting. Our server was not forthcoming with information on the menu. Having dined in high end restaurAnts throughout miami we had been introduced to the menu and dining style immediately. This was not done. He was very informed however, once we had asked questions. Overall a good experience and we would return/recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- good but not what I expectedZingerDined on 5/14/2014The food we had at Nobu Miami was good but not great. Before booking in Miami, I had recnetly been to Nobu San Diego with a large group. Everything brought to our table in San Diego was outstanding and memorable. My husband and I both felt the food in Miami was good but not worth the price we paid. I will return to Nobu in other cities but probably not this one.Special Features:
- DanielVIPDined on 5/12/2014Food way below other nobu restaurants...and expectations level. Wines overpriced.
- Great Decor, Amazing FoodlombinoDined on 5/11/2014It's kind of hidden in plain sight, but once you find it, you won't regret it, the food is simply amazing, an impressive sake and wine listSpecial Features:
- ExcellentJoeRiversDined on 5/10/2014The restaurant is at the Shore Club, so from the outside it looks a little dated, but once you come in, the place is really charming. When we walked in at 7:15, there were just a few people, but by 7:45 the place was packed. The service was impeccable. Our waiter was not only helpful, but so accomodating we felt like royalty. On top of that, there were at least 6 people walking around the restaurant just looking around to refill water glasses, clean your table and pour wine. Loved it! The food was delicious but the portions were too small. The sushi rolls were tiny but amazing. The Sashimi salad, greens with a few pieces of salmon was definitely overpriced at $36.00. Still, I thoroughly enjoyed the food, the ambiance and the location.Special Features:
- Amazing Food, Terrible LookSteakloverDined on 5/6/2014The food was absolutely delicious! I will go back again and agin for the food, but for the high quality of food and the high price, the look of the restaurant was not consistent. It looked like we were at a $15 a plate restaurant.Special Features:
- The following 589 reviews are from the Nobu Miami reviews archive.
- Engagement DinneroppositeofsourDined on 5/3/2014Wonderful food. It was our first time going to a Nobu, their staff was very friendly and guided us through the fantastic menu. All the selctions our server helped us choose were delicious. Black Cod Miso was extraordinary, and the yellowtail appetizer was also very tasty.Special Features:
- Worst dining experience in my life!OpenTable Diner Since 2006Dined on 5/3/2014Food...terrible. Service...atrocious. Ambiance...horrendous. Value...pathetic. If I wanted to keep my friends I would never recommend Nobu.
- Miso was oh so deliciousChuckDined on 5/3/2014We have been to 3 other Nobu's and this one in Miami did not disappoint at all. This Nobu is located in a very trendy hotel as the walk to the restaurant was ordained in a very eclectic atmosphere. Food was great and the miso sauce is amazing. Sushi was ultra fresh; melts in your mouth with no fishy taste.Special Features:
- lives up to the hypesmartmouthsweetheartDined on 5/2/2014We were promptly seated upon arrival, atmosphere was great! Server was very helpful in explaining and describing menu/dishes. Food was great and was served in a reasonable amount of time. Would definitely visit this location again and others.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

MOHAVE COUNTY, Ariz. —
The night sky is red, the air acid. The .50-caliber guns thunder away. Spectators in shooting glasses, hoodies, and ear protectors run past Goldsmith taking iPhone pictures. Goldsmith ignores the theatrics. He's got a 95-year-old machine gun on the table in front of him, and he's got to figure out how to coax it into shooting once again.
I have breakfast at the Hampton Inn in Kingman with Darwin Edwards, 66, an atheist, a world traveler, and a retired pathologist who lives in Kentucky. He admires Hunter S. Thompson and G. Gordon Liddy for their courage and fearless individualism. He says his greatest challenge is fitting into the Louisville social scene, where guys talk mostly about football or basketball, which bore him.
Edwards shoots in jeans and a plaid shirt instead of camouflage. He has no interest in any guns except for machine guns. He likens regular guns to pot and machine guns to crack cocaine.
A few days before the Big Sandy Shoot, he packed his toolbox, ammo, an ice chest, and three machine guns (a Vickers World War I machine gun, a Browning World War II anti-aircraft machine gun, and a Vietnam-era M-60 machine gun) into his wife's white Mercedes-Benz SUV and drove to Arizona with his friend John Paskey, a soft-spoken retired chemical engineer who works in the photo department of his local Walmart. (Paskey brought along his .50-caliber bolt-action rifle.)
Like most Americans, Edwards favors universal background checks because, he says, background checks would help keep guns out of the hands of "criminals and mentally ill people."
"I wanna be honest with you," Edwards says, "a lot of gun owners are not well-educated and not terribly bright."
He pegs many of his fellow shooters as "ultraconservative guys" who "don't think things through." Edwards says most gun owners are "100 percent against the Obama presidency" and "automatic Tea Party people."

The new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) brought along quite a few changes -- free-agent compensation rankings, caps on amateur spending, the hilarious competitive balance draft -- but one of the parts that almost no one complained about was an informal commitment to expanded instant replay.
Well, about that. From the Associated Press:
Baseball had hoped to increase video reviews this season to include trapped balls, fair-or-foul calls down the lines and fan interference all around the ballpark.
The additional replay required the approval of MLB and the unions representing the umpires and the players. MLB executive Rob Manfred told The Associated Press on Tuesday that all three sides weren't able to come up with an agreement.
Umpires were understandably reluctant to move the game one step closer to the eventual robot revolution, in which artificial intelligence rules and umpires are superfluous. More than that, though, it was probably just a total logistical mess for three different (and obstinate) parties to agree on anything in time for the the season. It was a victory to get the CBA ratified before a work stoppage; let's not get greedy.
Well, a little greedy would be OK. You'll certainly think of this decision the first time your team gets hosed on a blown foul call, at least.

In preparation for the game tonight, we had a chance to talk with Andy Boron of the excellent Sabres blog Die By The Blade. Read on for his take on our questions.
Kevin (LBC): Drew Stafford didn't have the best season last year, lockout-shortened or otherwise. Will the Sabres settle for another slow season from him - or does he need a "change of scenery."
Andy (DBTB): Stafford has been completely ineffective this (and last) season, and pretty much every Sabres fan is fed up with him and would gladly trade him for a washing machine at this point. A change of scenery would be great for him, and for us, but I'm sure he'll end up doing well for another team, thanks to his abysmal shot % last season that was far below his career norm. We expected a regression toward the mean this year and some improvement, but 1 goal in 11 games is not exactly the improvement we all had in mind. Stafford has the stink of the previous core on him as well, so getting him out of town will speed up the Buffalo rebuild.
Kevin: Ryan Miller is the Sabres undisputed number one netminder. What are Buffalo's long term plans concerning Jhonas Enroth?
Andy: None of us are totally sure. Enroth has certainly proven himself a capable backup, but his long-term starting prospects remain in doubt thank to his diminutive size and both good and bad streakiness. The Sabres have a number of promising goaltending prospects, including Matt Hackett in the AHL, and also Andrey Makarov and Linus Ullmark waiting in the wings, so the options after Miller are plentiful, though nobody has stood out from the pack just yet.
Kevin: In light of the current state of Buffalo hockey, do Sabre faithful regret the dismissal of Lindy Ruff and the subsequent contract extension of GM Darcy Regier?
Andy: Yes, and yes. To expand on that, Ron Rolston has looked completely overwhelmed thus far in the NHL, and doesn't seem to have any answers on how to turn this sinking ship around. As for Regier, Sabres fans just won't be able to fully move on with this rebuild until Regier is no longer a part of it, and while he still has his defenders, the vast majority of fans are simply waiting for him to be replaced before they'll invest in such a long-term project.
Kevin: I seem to remember several recent seasons where the Sabres weren't very good. Then, around the 50th game of the season, they suddenly become invincible. Any chance of a recurrence?
Andy: So have we, much to the detriment of our drafts. In fact, the phrase "Heroic run to ninth place" has become something of a meme in Buffalo come February. With this team, though, I highly doubt that a miarculous run is possible, especially considering that both Ryan Miller and Thomas Vanek, among others, should be off the team once the Olympic break is over. The Sabres are currently a team full of teenagers (we started FOUR last week) and young 20-somethings with little direction at this point. I'm honestly doubting if they'll crack 120 goals or 60 points for the season, and they should be in line for a top three pick, something else the organization desperately needs.
A big thanks to Andy for taking our questions. To find out what LBC had to say in response, head on over to Die By The Blade. Stay tuned for the game preview around 3PM, and the GameThread, as always, goes live :30 before faceoff, tonight at 7PM.
