My cousin, and blog friend Lisa, has posted this Year in Review on her blog every year for the past 10 years. I think it is a great way to look back on the year and share some of its highlights (and low lights), and so I took up the practice. This is my third annual Year in Review. (Feel free to check out my earlier posts 2011 and 2012).
This is a fun exercise and a great way to summarize the year and I recommend that you gives it a try. Let me know if you do!
What did you do in 2013 that you'd never done before? I flew to Atlanta all by myself and met up with 9 of my cousins to go to the Auburn vs. Ole Miss football game. We rented a house and had a fabulous 4 days touring the campus, partying with my cousin's kids and their friends (who attend Auburn), tailgating, yelling War Eagle! at the game, and even visiting Olympic Park in Atlanta before heading home.
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I kept a lot of them and posted my successes and failures. I always make New Year's resolutions but for the past few years I have written them down and kept track of them through the year which really made a difference in terms of keeping them! I will definitely make more for 2014 and will post them on this blog.
Did anyone close to you give birth? No one this year, and no one in the running…yet….
Did anyone close to you die? My cousin's husband Sal died earlier in 2012. We weren't close but he was family.
What countries did you visit? No foreign countries this year, and actually, I didn't visit any place in the US that I hadn't been before but I traveled to: Waitsfield, Vt (Sugarbush) for a ski trip with my kids; New Jersey to visit relatives; D.C. and Northern Virginia to visit my kids; many trips along the coast of Maine throughout to summer (both by car and boat). In August, my sister-in-law visited me and we spent time in York Beach and Boothbay Harbor. And lastly, I made several trips to Newport, Rhode Island including going to a spectacular wedding at the Rosecliff Mansion over Labor Day weekend.
What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013? I can honestly say that I didn't lack anything in 2013. Some things I would like to do in 2013 are to take some local New England ski days and/or weekends, go ice skating, and take a family trip with my kids (haha this is the same thing I said last year!)
What date from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory? April 15. The very sad day of the Boston Marathon. While this was a horrific act, I was very proud of the way the Boston and running community came together not only to offer support, but more importantly to catch the bombers so quickly.
What was your biggest achievement of the year? My biggest achievement of 2013 was getting my 94 year old father to move to an independent living community near to where I live. He had been living 6 hours away in New Jersey, and as I am an only child and he is getting on in age (but is still active and very healthy), it really was important that he be closer to me. So not only is he now living 3 miles away in a wonderful, safe community, but he likes it too!
What was your biggest failure? I honestly can't categorize anything as a failure in 2013.
Did you suffer illness or injury? No! I was nice and healthy in 2013, and I plan to keep it that way!
What was the best thing you bought? I'm not saying that I didn't buy myself anything this year, I certainly did, but nothing very special. BUT I did receive a lot of great things for Christmas…a new I-pod and a Jambox for starters, and a new Puppy!!!
Whose behavior merited celebration? Once again this year, my children share this honor; Kelsey for working hard and earning recognition for her job, moving to a great apartment by herself, and staying sane during major transitions! And Taylor and Nora for buying their first home.
Where did most of your money go? As in years past, most of my money went to savings and my mortgage payments. Other big expenses for me were clothes, dinners out, and Christmas presents!
What did you get really, really, really excited about? My biggest excitement this year came at the end of the year,and that would be my new PUPPY! She is totally adorable and I am sure she will be very, very spoiled
What song will always remind you of 2013? Babel by Mumford and Sons and Will You Still Love Me by Lana Del Rey
Compared to this time last year, are you:
Happier or sadder? — Happier
Thinner or fatter? – The same weight as I've been most of my adult life
Richer or poorer? – Richer
What do you wish you'd done more of? Skiing, running.
What do you wish you'd done less of? I can honestly say I think I was good about not wasting time this year. My first response was going to be watching television, but then I realized that I did manage to read 23 books this year so I don't think I wasted a lot of time! Perhaps shoveling snow would be a good response. We had a few big storm in the beginning of 2013, and I've already shoveled a bit at the end of 2013!
How will you be (or did you) spend Christmas? I had a great Christmas season family. I celebrated Christmas with my daughter Kelsey, my son Taylor, and my daughter-in-law Nora a little early this year as they were all going to be away for Christmas. We had a wonderful time. We visited with each other and with some of Nora's family, whom I hadn't seen since the wedding last year. We opened presents around the Christmas tree and had a lot of fun.
For Christmas Eve, my father and I spent time with his sister (my Aunt), two of her children (my cousins) and their kids. The "kids" ranged in age from 21-37! It was great to see them as I usually don't get to spend time with this side of the family.
On Christmas Day I went to another wonderful dinner at another cousin's home, and again had fun eating, drinking, socializing and just being together!
Then on Saturday, Dec 28, I picked up my puppy! What a cutie!
Did you fall in love in 2013? Falling in love with Shakira (my puppy)!
Who were your best friends? My best friends don't change, so I'm going to change this question to: "Did you make a new friend this year and/or get closer to a friend or an acquaintance?" I didn't make any new friends this year, but I kept up my resolution to get together with friends at least twice a month, and I think that has lead to some stronger relationships with Rhonda, Lorri, Jen. I am going to keep at this in 2014.
What thing did you do that was meaningful to others? I hope that encouraging my Dad to move up here and helping him with his move was meaningful to him in a positive way!
What was your favorite TV program? My favorite shows are Parenthood, The Crazy Ones, Downton Abbey and Game of Thrones.
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? Oh let's phrase this differently, "Have any of your relationships worsened over the past year?" — No
What was the best book you read? Wow this is a tough one, I read of bunch of books this year that I enjoyed, John Irving's, In One Person; William Martin's Harvard Yard, Susanna Kearsley's The Firebrand, Michael Pollan's Cooked, Matt Haig's The Radleys, but the book I was most happy to have read was A Memory of Light, Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson mainly because this was the 14th and FINAL book of The Wheel of Time series that began in 1990!
What was your greatest musical discovery? I discovered a few good bands/singers this year, Mumford and Sons, The Avett Brothers, Dawes, Avicii and Jake Bugg immediately come to mind.
What did you want and get? A new I-pod and a Jam box!
What did you want and not get? There is nothing tangible that I did not get. I would like to get to spend more time with my kids.
What was your favorite film of this year? The Heat with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. One of the funniest movies I have ever seen!
What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? I went out to dinner with a special friend for my 54th birthday.
What one thing would have made your year immeasurably more satisfying? My year was completely satisfying, but if I could ask for something more, it would be a booming economy and higher real estate prices in my area!
What kept you sane? Eating healthy, exercise, reading and spending the spring and summer on the water.
Which celebrity/public figure did you fancy the most? I really don't have much use for celebrities, and our public figures leave much to be desired! But, I'd say the birth of Prince George was pretty special (at least for England).
What political issue stirred you the most? It would have to be Obama-care.
Who did you miss? My family when I'm away from them, and my mother
Who was the best new person you met this year? I think the only new people I met this year (other than to say a quick hello) was the dog breeder Denise and her husband Larry. I really have to get out of my comfort circle a bit this year!
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2013: Live in the present moment, change the things you can and accept the things you can't.
Quote that sums up your year: Keep Calm and Carry On
Happy New Year to all!

SOURCE: jvc kd-g502, cd player skips
Common skipping issues can be:
Scratched discs, recorded cd-r's on poor/cheap media, dirty laser lens, disc spin motor binding, laser asm. slide rails needing re-lubed. Of course defective components can cause it as well.

SOURCE: JVC KD-G431 IN CAR CD PLAYER "000ZAAA" Error
I had the same problem. It started when I tried to play an MP3 track from a "Creative Zen Vision M" Media Player. The result was the same as you describe = Maddening. It was extremely annoying that the CD player did not work. I thought I had broken the equipment.
Then my wife read the product hand book , and noticed on page 2 http://jvcmobile.co.uk/documents/products/KD-G431%20Instructions.pdf it showed, where using a pen you can reset the equipment back to the original settings. I thought I might as well give a try. It worked = Fixed. Amazing. I was so relieved. Such an easy solution.
Give it a go. I reckon there is a good chance it will fix your problem, and you will also be very relieved. Just use a basic MP3 player in future. GOOD LUCK !!!

I Just Bought A Camaro Z28 With This Receiver/CD Player In It And It's Doing The Same Thing Also., You Would Think Someone Could Give A logical Explanation For This Problem. I Even Tried Hooking It Up Direct To The Battery And Still The Same Thing Happens. I Guess I'll Just Have To Trash It. Looked Like It Would Have Been An Awesome Player If It Would Work Right.

The Beginners Photography Guide to Digital Camera Modes (continued)
Having covered the different Automatic Modes we continue our explanation of the different digital camera modes by looking at the many types of AutomaticScene Modes found on today's digital cameras. Following this and completing this section of the beginners photography guide will be a quick look at the Semi Automatic Camera Modes.
While the majority of beginning photographers are likely to leave their camera in automatic mode it still helps to understand the many different digital camera modes available to you and the limitations and advantages of them.
Automatic Scene Modes
Another type of automatic digital camera modes are the Scene Selection Modes. These are another type of automatic mode where the camera settings are tweaked for common shooting scenarios or scenes. Here are some of the more common scene modes.
Portrait Mode: In this mode the camera automatically is going to select a larger aperture (smaller F-stop) to help blur the background because of the narrow depth of field. The camera will try to meter off of the subjects face and smile detection will be activated if the camera has it. Also usually the color settings are adjusted to provide a little "warmer" color. When using this digital camera mode it is usually recommended that you zoom in on your subject or use a telephoto lens of around 90mm to 135mm to help separate the background from the subject. Fill flash is also helpful or even necessary if the subject is back-lit.
Landscape Mode: In this mode the camera will select the smallest aperture (largest F-stop) in order to get the maximum depth of field. Generally this mode will also boost the color saturation a little as well as a slight increase in contrast to give a more vibrant picture. Because the camera is going to select a smaller aperture the shutter speed will also tend to be slower so you need to watch for camera shake and use a tripod when needed.
Macro Mode: Macro mode is used when photographing close subjects such as flowers or insects. This mode will tend to use faster shutter speeds and larger apertures to provide a shallow depth of field resulting in a blurred background. Some fixed lens cameras have lenses that allow them to focus when they are very close to the subject but with a DSLR you need to have a true macro lens to get that advantage. Because the depth of field is so small in macro mode focusing can be difficult and a tripod might be needed or helpful to get really sharp pictures and keep the subject in focus. It is recommended you do not use a built in flash because it can over-exposure the subject or cause unwanted shadows. If flash is needed some type of flash diffuser will help avoid those problems.
Sports Action Mode: Sports action mode is for shooting fast moving subjects in bright places. In this mode the camera will try and select the fastest shutter speed possible for the available light in order to freeze or stop the action. This will usually mean a larger aperture and less depth of field as well. If the camera has a burst or continuous mode that will also be activated allowing you to take multiple pictures while holding down the shutter button.
Twilight or Night Mode: This digital camera mode is designed to shoot night scenes without losing the nighttime atmosphere. When activated the camera will use a longer shutter speed while firing the flash to capture both foreground and background details. This technique is known as "slow shutter speed sync" and if very effective in bringing out details in both foreground objects as well as the background. If normal flash settings were used in this type of lighting the subject would be lit by the flash but the background would be too dark to have much if any detail available. Some DSLRs will allow you to use this mode with or without flash so you can capture night scenes at a distance (without flash) or take a nighttime portrait (with flash). As with any low light situation using a tripod is recommended to avoid motion blur or camera shake caused by the slower shutter speed. When used to take night portraits it is also important that the subject holds still after the flash since the shutter can remain open to allow the back ground to be exposed more. Any movement by the subject during that delay will blur the subject.
Panoramic Mode: Many newer digital cameras have a built in panoramic mode that automatically stitches images together to form a panoramic photo. In this mode you can sweep the camera in either a horizontal or vertical direction while holding down the shutter button. The result is panoramic image automatically being created.
Other Scene Modes
Sunset Mode: This mode designed to take pictures at sunset allows the red and orange of the sunset to be captured more vividly.
Beach Mode: In beach mode the camera settings are tweaked to help capture the blueness of the water more vividly.
Snow Mode: This mode helps compensate for those really bright snow scenes.
Fireworks Mode: In this mode the cameras exposure is set to help you capture photos of nighttime fireworks.
Backlit Mode: This mode uses exposure compensation so that the subject is still properly exposed when there is a bright or strongly lit background. Without these adjustments foreground objects would be to dark.
Movie Mode: Another common mode on newer digital cameras allowing you to capture video, often even HD video. This allows you to use your camera to capture video and audio.

If you are a Literary Arts concentrator who has completed or is currently enrolled in a 1000-level Literary Arts Workshop or an appropriate LITR 1110 or 11150 section, you are eligible to apply for Honors in Literary Arts.
To apply, you should complete an online application in the Fall semester, typically of the academic year in which the thesis will be completed (thesis work is completed in the Spring semester). Applications are due between Sept. 8 and Sept. 25 at 11:59 pm.
The Honors application will ask a few questions – your name, your class year, your Banner number, etc. There is also a place to upload a writing sample. You should upload a writing sample in the genre in which you want to write a thesis. The sample should be no less than 20 pages of material. Please note the sample should be a single file, uploaded as a PDF. (If you want to submit eight really short stories, or 15 poems, please combine them into a single file and send them as one document, even though there are various works under the one umbrella).
Once you have submitted the application, the faculty in your genre who will be available to work with you on your thesis will review it. This review is done independently – each available faculty member will separately review each application, and will submit decisions to the department. You may, therefore, be accepted into the Honors program by any faculty member within your genre; and by accepting you, the faculty member is agreeing to serve as your advisor (typically through an independent study conducted in the spring of your senior year, but sometimes through an Advanced or Honors workshop).
Once you are accepted into the Honors program, you should approach your faculty advisor directly to begin making plans.
Please note:
1. You should not approach faculty members and ask them to serve as your advisor before you complete this application process. This process is designed to ensure that all applicants are given equal consideration, so that the process is fair to everyone.
2. It is possible to apply for Honors in your junior year; if accepted, you will complete your Honors thesis in the spring of your senior year. Most students are accepted into Honors, however, in the fall of their senior year.
3. Decisions regarding Honors will be announced by the end of October. You will be notified via campus mail.

Family Camping Trip
The boys had an incredible time playing with friends. The ran up and down the sand dunes, went dune bashing with some experienced dune bashing friends of ours, and even got to zip line down the sand dune!
There were s'mores galore and more food than our group could possibly eat. The kids even had their own fire to sit around which had little packets of copper flakes tossed into it to turn the fire green. They put their headlamps on and searched the desert for giant beetles, of which they found enough for a small zoo.
We had a seriously great time, and I am so thankful we got away even for just one night. Now, back to the endless pile of marking...

text: Montevarchi to Catania trains might be a good value for money solution: travelling in Italy by train is often rather cheap and faster than taking a bus indeed Trains leave from Montevarchi-Terranuova and arrive at Catania Acquicella every about 6 hours on average. If travelling with Trenitalia, you need to know the Montevarchi to Catania train schedule: the first train leaves at 07:16, while the last ride is at 17:48. A Montevarchi to Catania train cost about 107.6 €. But how long is the train ride from Montevarchi to Catania? Your journey takes about 10 hours on average.

This was my first evening track day session and I wasn't really quite sure what to expect. This was also my first event that was run by Focused Events. I have heard mixed things about them but decided to approach the evening with an open mind.
Sign on and noise testing was from 4 – 4:45pm. The briefing was at 5pm and that sessions started at 5:30pm and would run to 8pm. There were only two groups; novice/inter and inter/fast. Each group got a 15 minute first session with three sightling laps plus whatever time was left over, followed by 3 x 20 minute sessions. That meant 1 hour and 15 minutes on track for £65 (US$90) which works out at great value for money, I think.
I met up with John again at the track, and unlike last time it looked as though we were going to be blessed with a glorious summer's evening. This would be our third track day together and although John tends to ride in faster groups than me, it's great having a friendly face to shoot the breeze with between sessions; even though we don't often ride together. John doesn't give a lot away but I suspect that he's one of those gifted riders who hides his talents under his bushel. You see him here motoring around Druids.
As I was wandering along the pit garages I also spotted Phil who used to instruct for EasyTrack. We talked, I asked questions, and he offered to ride the final session with me to give me some tips. What's really great about track days is that you do start to recognise different faces and that on the whole most people are really friendly, approachable and willing to help out. More on Phil's feedback later.
After a slightly disappointing previous session at Brands I was hoping for some tangible improvement. This included the following:
- taking a better line into corners
- braking later for corners and/or trying not to coast into corners quite so much
- getting on the gas earlier through the corner and winding the throttle open more
- hanging off the bike more to reduce the lean angle in corners
The first session was quite slow paced for the sighting laps, and I didn't bother running a data logger for that session as a result. In fact I barely made it out on track in time as I got the sessions mixed up and was chilling out when I should have been getting ready to get out on track!
In the second session, I wanted to try and shave a few seconds off my previous lap times by trying to focus on the things that I mentioned above. In the event I managed to reduce my time by over 3 seconds. But this this came at a cost. In trying to go faster, I felt that I was really starting to rush the corners and that my riding felt much less controlled and more untidy than previous track days at Brands.
I even managed to grind my toe guard going round Druids which caused me to stand the bike up mid corner, so that I ended up running off the track onto the gravel and grass. Somehow (and luckily) I managed to avoid being hit by anyone else and keep the bike upright. I quickly rejoined the session with the only symptom off my "off" being a massively elevated heart rate! You can see some of the mayhem in the short video below.
This video is quite instructive (for me) as it highlights:
- poor line for Paddock Hill (first corner after the start/finish straight) – should be much further over to the left
- not driving out of Paddock early enough – should be on the gas on the downhill section
- lazy braking for Druids (turn 2) at 1:28 with a late and slow turn in
- not getting on the gas early enough at Graham Hill (turn 3) at 1:40
- being off the throttle instead of having a neutral or slightly cracked open throttle through Surtees into Clearways (turns 4 and 5) at 1:50
- catching my boot mid corner, standing the bike up and running off track at 2:33! All a symptom of too much (unecessary) lean angle
And yet despite all that I still managed to post my quickest time round Brands at 1:05.13 – not only that but I managed three 1:05 and four 1:07 laps out of 14 laps that session. Looking at the video from the day, I can see that almost 2 seconds of the improvement in lap time has come from driving out of Clearways/Clarke earlier and more agressively.
Here are the session times:
|Not timed… barely made it out on track in time!
|Off towards the end of the session
|Started late to due last lap crash in previous group
|Not sure why this session was so short
In the final session of the evening, Phil kindly agreed to ride with me to try and help me sort out some basic errors. Before we went on track, he emphasised the need to exaggerate the hanging off style especially with respect to my head and inside shoulder. Initially he followed me and then I followed him… as best I could. I kept getting mugged by other riders and trying to stay with Phil became a game of diminishing returns. I suspect that he didn't expect me to be quite as slow as I was! See the footage below.
After the session we had a quick debrief. Although I thought I was hanging off the bike like a monkey, he confirmed that I wasn't trying nearly hard enough! He also lamented my lazy "road-riding" style in corners. Interestingly he suggested earlier braking points for the corners and then using the throttle to drive on out of the corners. Although he was kind enough not to say so, I could imagine him thinking, "what the hell have you been doing on track since we rode with you last year!". His parting words were "hope to be at Silverstone with you on the 23rd" – I hope I've made some improvement before we meet again!
I may be clutching at straws but I'm banking on the fact that with more practice (on and off track) that soon something will click and some of these faults will begin to disappear as my confidence and riding style improve.
Overall the evening was brilliant. The track conditions were perfect and the two group format worked really well. Despite some of the negative things I'd heard about Focused Events, they ran a pretty tight ship and things ran really nicely and smoothly. I'll definitely be back for more evening sessions!
Andy an instructor and great guy that I met last year on an EasyTrack track day at Brands looked over the footage and had the following comments to make:
- you struggle to hold a line into and through a corner as you are often totally off the throttle which makes the bike feel hard to turn and like it wants to run wider – you need to tip in on a neutral throttle and progressively roll the throttle on as you go through the corner and onto the next straight… This should also let you turn the bike quicker which is another of your aims!
- look at how much room you often have on corner exit – typically you are exiting the corner mid track so you can safely increase speeds through many corners and just use more of the available track
- getting on the gas smoothly and earlier will give you nice safe gains in lap times from carrying more speed ALL the way down the straights
- your revs often seem low in the corner too – I try and corner in a gear where my revs are at least 2/3 of maximum – this gives you a much more responsive throttle both when closed and when you want to accelerate again – you seem to take a while to pick up strong acceleration from many corners even after you have gone back on the throttle and this is costing you speed all the way down the straight
- get used to braking hard and selecting the right gear early – as you get more
used to this you can then adjust your braking points to progressively take you
nearer to the corner
- if your boots are touching down then your feet are in the wrong position
- when you come up to a slower rider try not to settle in behind them into the corner, leave a gap so you can use your better speed to simply accelerate past them with drive from further back. If you get right up to them and adjust to their speed then it just becomes a throttle/horsepower drag out of the corner – many slower riders are on big bikes and can accelerate quite quickly so you end up stuck for a few corners not just one

RIDGEFIELD, Conn. -- Ridgefield resident Brett Almstead's "fiery" Polynesian lighthouse was the second-place winner in the 14th annual "Festival of Lighthouses Contest" at The Maritime Aquarium at Norwalk.
Almstead took home $750 for receiving the second-most votes from aquarium visitors for his entry, "Tiki Island Lighthouse."
Almstead has entered the contest several times, taking home the fifth-place prize in 2007. His "Tiki Island Lighthouse" was a four-sided angry Polynesian godlike figure. Using a fan, reflective materials and colored lighting, Almstead created the impression of fire inside the figure's mouth and eyes, and from atop its head.
The holiday lighthouse display was from Nov. 21 through Jan. 18 and featured 22 large model lighthouses built by local artists, students and hobbyists. The contest's winners are chosen by aquarium visitors, who enjoy the lighthouses in the aquarium galleries and then voted for their favorite.
More than 11,500 votes were tallied in this most recent display. At a Jan. 21 ceremony at The Maritime Aquarium, five other prizes also were awarded:
- First place ($1,500) – "Surviving the Storm" by Robert Keene of Darien.
- Third place ($375) – "Fairy Lighthouse" by Bob Hemond of Trumbull.
- Fourth place ($300) – "Fieldstone Tower" by Pedro Davila of White Plains, N.Y.
- Fifth place ($225) – "North Pole Lighthouse" by Jo Stecker of Norwalk.
- Sixth place ($150) – "Droste Point: The Lighthouse Within" by Nancy Todd of West Haven.
An additional $500 prize was awarded to Hemond, who won the "Facebook Favorite" vote conducted online.
"We congratulate the winners, and thank all 22 contestants whose creativity and efforts added a bright and festive cheer to The Maritime Aquarium through the holiday season," said Chris Loynd, the aquarium's marketing director. "Because of them, the real winners were the aquarium's visitors."
Photos of all the winners can be seen at www.flickr.com/photos/Maritimeaquarium.
Entry forms for the 2016 "Festival of Lighthouses Contest" will be available on the aquarium's website this summer.

Out in the Wilds of Wales.
Nearly every year there is a trip that just has to be made around this time of year, to a very beautiful location up into the hills of Wales. The Elan valley is a very worthwhile place to either spend a day, or for the sightseeing, sit in the car with a flask of tea and admire the views. So did it fail to impress? NO! not a chance. tumbling streams open moor and a myriad of wildlife greets you as you crest the hill that takes you up through some of the most brilliant ancient woodlands.
So what's all the fuss about and why should it draw me back year after year?
Those raised eyebrows and crest really add character to this Whinchat, a bit of Ted Heath going on here I think.
This Grey Wagtail was really going through his repertoire as he persued the female up and down the stream leading her to the nest site on numerous occasions.
After spending a lot of time with these Wagtails it was a slow meander along the road and down past the lakes and dams to the visitor centre for obligatory coffee and cakes, and very nice it was too, sitting in the open watching Common Redstarts and Spotted Flycatchers with Pied Flycatchers flitting about and singing, in the woods on the opposite bank of the river.
This Spotted Flycatcher was such a confiding little bird with a diminutive call but a lovely song, there were again a pair or more checking out nesting sites.
Pied Flycatcher's were similarly active in the nest boxes coming and going, the female was doing all the fetching and carrying! The day ended with a stunning Common Redstart belting out his song.
So a bit of a goodly day out and to be repeated probably next year.
cheers for now

What You'll Get
Olive oil can add a new dimension to any dish—even autumn's familiar flavors of pumpkin, butternut squash, and apple. During a group tasting event, O Live Brooklyn owner Greg Bernaducci shows you how to orchestrate simple yet flavorful dishes that incorporate autumnal ingredients. He also demonstrates how to pair these ingredients with artisanal virgin, infused, and specialty olive oils, or just a balsamic vinegar that's been aged to perfection. Greg explains the chemistry behind the best olive oils and vinegars before treating you to his creations.
Autumn-Themed Tasting Event
- Steamed squash with apricot white balsamic
- Kale salad with extra virgin olive oil and honey ginger white balsamic
- Spicy grape salad with dark chocolate balsamic vinegar and jalapeño white vinegar
- Cheese plate with fig dark balsamic or your choice
- Apple cider with vanilla dark balsamic
Samples of Simple, Flavorful Fall Dishes
Guests sample each dish as Greg explains how aged vinegar or artisanal olive oils enhance their flavors
Bottle of Aged Balsamic Vinegar
Guests get to take home a bottle to use in their own dishes
Each Event is capped at 35 participants; each event requires a minimum of 20 participants in order to take place.
Greg Bernarducci will be the first to admit it: he has an obsession with olive oil. As co-owner of O Live Brooklyn, Greg patrols his store's 50-plus barrels, carefully monitoring the chemistry of each oil and balsamic vinegar. But Greg knows more than just their polyphenol count or oleic acid level. He knows how to translate the chemistry into real-world advice: which oils work best for high-heat cooking, which ones pack the most intense flavors, which ones pair with which foods.
Greg's path to olive oil guru took a rather indirect route. After graduating from Brooklyn Technical High School, he spent 25 years working in the television industry. During that time, he became increasingly passionate about organic food and local agriculture. After a point, he could no longer keep it to himself, so he returned to his childhood borough and opened O Live Brooklyn with his wife. Greg's been sharing his passion from the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge ever since.
- Wednesday (6 p.m.-7:30 p.m.)
October 23 | October 30
November 6 | November 13 | November 20
More than 50 taps line the walls of O Live Brooklyn, each dispensing a different varietal of olive oil or balsamic vinegar. Owners Greg Bernarducci and Elizabeth Weiss can tell you exactly where each one hails from, and even deliver a detailed chemistry lesson on why it tastes the way it does. They won't have to tell you how recently it arrived, though. Each olive tap has a harvest date clearly posted. To ensure year-round freshness, Greg and Elizabeth import directly from Veronica Foods, a company that has maintained close partnerships with olive oil producers in both hemispheres for more than 90 years. As customers bottle their selections on-site, they might rub elbows with NYC's top chefs and foodies, who also attend the shop's regular tastings, classes, and workshops.

Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Who We Are
Education for Justice, a project of Center of Concern, was created in 2001 to help teachers, social action directors, parish members, campus ministers, and others in leadership roles to meet the challenge of sharing Catholic social teaching and bring greater awareness to social justice issues. Through all of the materials available on the Education for Justice Web site, we seek not only to introduce Catholic social teaching to a wider audience, but also to help deepen the knowledge of this essential element of faith and to help develop solidarity with all those in the global community who are suffering and oppressed.
History of Center of Concern
Since its founding in 1971 at the office of United Nations Secretary General U Thant by National Conference of Catholic Bishops General Secretary Joseph Bernardin and Jesuit Superior General Pedro Arrupe, S.J., and with significant investments by women religious, Center of Concern (Center) has operated in Washington, D.C., with a mission to research, educate, and advocate from Catholic social tradition to create a world where economic, political, and cultural systems promote sustainable flourishing of the global community.
The Center envisions a global community that upholds basic human rights and human dignity, fosters just relationships, promotes sustainable livelihoods, and renews the earth.
The Center's strategy for executing this mission is to add value by engaging with public and private centers of influence through an integrated model of social enterprise that seeks global transformation for social justice in core competencies of social justice education; global financial systems and human rights; global women's issues; integral ecology; strategic philanthropic governance and leadership; and related areas.
The Center does this by sharing its stakeholders' voices for global social justice through core services of research, education, and advocacy from Catholic social tradition in ways that are (1) effective, (2) scalable, and (3) sustainable.
The Center measures effectiveness in the relevance, authoritativeness, and influence of its work product through demonstrable impact regarding the issues that matter most to its constituencies, especially the least well off.
The Center demonstrates scalability by applying its resources to multiply its impact, such as through collaborating with the global cadre of pastoral, thought, and executive leaders in its Community of Creative Voices.
Finally, the Center practices sustainability by continuously enhancing the scale and scope of its substantive relationships with its stakeholder constituencies and its capacity for quality growth so that it generates an increasing percentage of its own unrestricted long-term and working capital, e.g., through advisory services, publications, and investment income.
The Center represents the United States in the global lay Catholic development and advocacy alliance, Coopération Internationale pour le Développement et la Solidarité (CIDSE) and is a member of Catholic Charities USA. It has been accredited with consultative status before the United Nations Economic and Social Council since 1974.
The Center is a social profit organization exempt under United States Internal Revenue Code § 501(c)(3).
Internships with Center of Concern
An internship at the Center provides opportunities for the incumbent to collaborate with Center team members on a range of projects and responsibilities. These duties vary according to the incumbent's qualifications and can include service in programmatic activities, including the award-winning Education for Justice, and/or administrative roles involving the strategic operations, communications, and development responsibilities that are critical to the Center's success.
Regardless of the experience and other qualifications of the incumbent, the primary purpose for the internship remains to support and advance his or her professional, educational, and/or other developmental goals. He or she does not serve as an employee of the Center and benefit to the Center is a secondary objective for the internship.
See attached intern position description for more information.

Basketball passing drills are fun, but before you can have any success with them, you have to learn some basics of throwing and catching a good basketball pass.
When you're learning how to play basketball, one of the first areas I suggest starting with is catching.
Basketballs are hard, and they hurt.
So, before a player gets hit in the face by a pass and develops a fear of the ball, make sure he knows how to catch it.
Let's start with some fundamental coaching tips for catching all types of basketball passes:
1. See the ball at all times
Never turn your back to the ball when you're on the court. It's a sure way to get nailed in the back of the head!
2. Relax and slightly bend your knees
You should have good balance and be on the balls of your feet ready to move in any direction. You may need to jump up or move somewhere to catch a bad pass. If you're standing straight-legged you won't be able to react quickly enough.
3. Be ready to move toward the pass
A big mistake a lot of players make is standing flat-footed waiting for the ball to reach them. Most of those passes never make it.
4. Watch the ball all the way into your hands
Players often get excited, anticipating their next move before they ever catch the ball. Taking your eyes off the ball is a sure way to fumble it, travel with it, or drop it completely.
5. Keep your hands open toward the passer
Your fingers should be spread comfortably. This provides a good target for the passer and lets him know you are ready to receive the pass.
6. Hold your hands about waist high
Have your arms slightly bent and elbows relaxed at your sides. As the ball comes toward you, extend your arms to meet it.
7. To catch a pass above your head
Your fingers should be pointing up to the sky with your thumbs facing each other and your palms open toward the passer.
8. To catch a pass below your waist
Your fingers should point downward with your pinkies pointing toward each other, palms open toward the passer, and the thumbs pointing away from each other.
9. Bend your arms slightly on impact
Once the ball makes contact with your hands, pull your arms in slightly to lessen the impact.
10. Always catch the ball with two hands
To make sure you have control of the ball, secure it both hands. You may need to reach with one hand to chase after a bad pass, but as soon as possible, pull it in with two hands.
11. Protect the ball
As soon as you have control of the ball, pull it in close to your body to protect it. Leaving the ball exposed makes it easy for the defense to get their hands on it.
12. Square up to face the basket every time you catch it
This allows you to see whats happening on the floor so that you know whether you need to pass, shoot, or dribble.
Once you catch the basketball, you need to know what to do with it. How about making some good 1-on-1 basketball moves?
Throwing and catching a good pass are just a couple of the offensive skills you need. Click on this link to learn about other basketball fundamentals.

DoYoung has been my Korean friend for about as long as I have been with Sung Hyun. I like to hang out with Koreans because, well I'm in Korea. I make it a daily habit to step out of my Western bubble and interact with Koreans whenever I get the chance. It's very easy to come to this country stay for a year and NOT learn a lick of Korean or anything about the culture. I am proud to say I'm not one of those foreigners. I am proud to be in Korea and I love talking about it every chance I get.
DoYoung is such a kind person. He is so generous and I always enjoy myself when I am with him. The thing that I like best is he is willing to speak to me in Korean and will constantly help me repeatedly, even when I make the same mistakes over and over again. He is a wonderful teacher and friend!!!!
DoYoung is heading to Russia in about 9 days for a couple of weeks. He loves Russia, albeit it's probably the women he likes most ;)hehe!!!! So off we went to Dongdaemoon Market to hunt down a Russian restaurant tucked away in the alleys of Korea. We found what we were looking for and enjoyed some nice black tea along with a few menu items whose names I can't recall. This was my first time eating Russian food!!!
Then we headed to an island for a nice walk on a beautiful day. I remember coming to this island before. I first went there with my good Korean friend Charlie, who is now serving 3 years in the military. It brought back lots of memories of the good times I would spend with him. I do hope there is a time when we will get to meet again. I miss my old friend!!!!

Pioneering Soylent
I've never been what you'd call a "foodie". When I was younger, I felt eating took up time that could be dedicated to something else. In college, this was time away from studying, or reading for fun, or maybe playing Halo. I always wanted to find an alternative to eating. Something fast, yet nutritionally complete. It continues to amaze me with how little our culture knows about food, nutrition, and health. I told myself if there was ever an alternative to eating regular food I would give it a try.
Sometime in 2013, I heard about Soylent. If you don't know, it's an open-source mixture of ingredients meant to be a complete replacement for typical means. It's to be mixed with water and then drunk. This sounded right up my alley. Mixing a powder into water and then drinking my nutrition sounded fast and efficient.
I first came across Soylent when it was doing its initial round of crowdfunding. It was incredibly successful, and brought in over $3.5 million. That is a sign they're onto something. I considered being one of the initial backers, but then decided to see how things went before purchasing it. For them to actually get a product to market and see what others thought about it. So I held off.
My interest was piqued when it finally started shipping in May of this year. I ended up ordering a 21-meal supply, with the intention of eating it for lunch for 21 meals. I ordered it back on May 27.
The popularity well outpaced their production capabilities, so there was a long back order for the processing and delivery. As a result, my order didn't actually arrive until October 18. That was a long time to wait; 4 months and 21 days, in fact! But welcome to the world of crowd-funding. I think every thing I've crowdfunded has incurred these long delays.
Anyway, once it did arrive I mixed a small batch to see what it was like. I drank it easily. It was neutral in taste and a little gritty in texture. The neutral/bland taste is a good thing. If very sweet, I wouldn't want to eat it every day or every meal. It's lack of strong flavor ought to mean it appeals to more people. And it leaves open the possibility of flavoring it to your own taste with extra ingredients.
Each pouch of Soylent makes the equivalent of 3 meals. So, since I'd eat it for 3 meals, I could make it for lunch Monday and then have lunch for Tuesday and Wednesday. This meant I could also consume it within the 48-hour window they claim it stays good for once prepared
I ate Soylent for the next week and a half or so. But then I got sick on October 30th. First, I felt bloating, which progressed to severe body chills and aches, and, finally, to vomiting and diarrhea. At first, I was worried the Soylent had caused it. It was Wednesday and I was eating the last meal of the batch I'd made on Monday. But this was within the 48-hour window. So the Soylent spoiling didn't seem to make sense. I vomited 5 or so times at about 9pm and then roughly 5 more times at 11:30pm that Wednesday night, but my gastrointestinal issues lasted many days longer. What with the other symptoms, and it lasting long enough to cause me to miss work on Thursday, a more likely answer is that I contracted a norovirus.
A week or so later, I decided to try Soylent again. I was nervous, asI wasn't 100% certain whether it was a norovirus or Soylent. I also had a small mental association between Soylent and puking. But I gave it a shot, and didn't have any issues. My fears were put to bed. A few days later, I decided to double my next order of Soylent to 14 bags. Their customer service helped with this quite easily.
Fast forward another week or so, and I eat Soylent on Wednesday, November 12. How'd I prepare it this time? Well, at lunch time on that Monday I made the mixture and put it in the freezer to cool down quickly. I forgot about it until it had frozen through. I moved it to the refrigerator and let it thaw. It was finally thawed enough to drink by Wednesday morning. I had some for breakfast.
A few hours later, I began to feel bloated, and then, shortly after, had the sensation I was about to loose my cookies. So I ended up vomiting again, and felt awful. I violently vomited between 15 and 20 times within half an hour. A touch of gastrointestinal issues later on as well. Overall, the symptoms passed within a few hours. Being sick this time was a lot swifter and more violent than the previous time. Later that night, I was able to drink water and eat a normal meal.
Only thing that would make sense is Soylent causing it. Some kind of food poisoning? It was hard to tell at first. The first few times I vomited I thought maybe the Soylent spoiled early and all I'd have to do was prepare it a single meal at a time and consume it immediately. But after the twentieth time of getting sick and subsequent dry heaving, I decided I couldn't do it. The mental association between Soylent and getting sick had solidified.
I'd had enough of Soylent. I can't stand the idea of getting sick every few weeks from anything I'm eating. And there's also the uncertainty about what caused it. Could it have spoiled? The Soylent never smelled or tasted off that I could tell. Could my stomach still be messed up from the norovirus? Well, nothing else I'd eaten since getting sick October 30th caused a bad reaction. Am I allergic to something in the Soylent? I wouldn't even know where to begin to find that out. Did the freezing and thawing in the fridge cause the Soylent to expire early? 48 hours is already a very short amount of time for it to spoil, let alone 24-36 hours if it depended on the style of prep.
Now that the outcome of eating Soylent includes some chance of violently puking my stomach up, and the uncertainty of why it happens, I decided to cancel my next order. This was also the same day my credit card had been charged for the next order, but I hoped I could reach them before the order shipped. Soylent does have fantastic customer service, I must say. The following day they cancelled my subscription and shipment, and refunded me for the charge.
I'm pretty disappointed in how my experience turned out. I don't know whether to blame Soylent or to blame the way I prepared or stored it. In the end, it doesn't need to be blamed on anyone. I just had a negative experience and have decided to prevent that experience from happening again. A coworker of mine hasn't had any negative experiences with it, and it sounds like many others would say the same, so I could be in a small minority who have negative side effects. It just seems strange I could eat it for a while and be just fine, yet eat it another time and get so very, very sick.
Maybe the mental association will pass in the future and I could give it a try again. I'm sure they'll continue to tweak the ingredients, which might help it keep longer. I just hope it's not something I'm allergic to, because I'd have to have that same outcome again. Fortunately, it didn't last more than a few hours. But it was still an awful feeling.
I'm finished pioneering Soylent for now, but I'm encouraged that some day I might have an option for fast, nutritious, inexpensive meals. It's exciting to know there's some work being done in the field at least!

Tweezerman Pointed Foundation Brush.
This brush is a God sent for contouring! I have other brushes as well but when it comes to blending the contour the Tweezerman pointed foundation brush makes it so much easier!! I had ordered this brush on a whim via a friend who was travelling to London and I had given her a looong list of goodies I wanted her to bring back. I was in two minds about this brush till the very last moment. I wasn't sure if it was going to really make a difference as I was already using Mac's 301 for contouring and it did a decent job but at the same time I was itching to explore my options. So hesitantly I asked her to get it before I changed my mind.
When I received it I wasn't too keen on how it looked or felt. As the bristles are made of synthetic hair, they felt rubbery and stiff. But when I gave it a try, I was in contour heaven! I was actually amazed at the results. I was like, Hallelujah I have found my ultimate contour brush! :)) This brush gives me so much control and direction. Because of the pointed tip contouring and swiping any cream product/ foundation has become a breeze. Again thanks to the tip, this brush can give you a defined face, chiseled cheeks and a tight jawline in no time. Plus it fits well with the contours of any face shape.
Till now I preferred small angled brushes for contouring but since I have discovered this brush, I can't see myself using anything else. It blends everything smoothly and does the work in half the time compared to other brushes which is such a bonus when you're rushing to get ready like I always am! Lol However, I'd be curious to see how softer bristles with the same shape would perform. Wonder if Tweezerman would consider making a sister for this one? I say sister coz this brush doesn't look feminine at all and a feminine looking brush would be nice! :D. Overall, I am super glad I didn't pass on this amazing brush.
So there it is my lovebees, If you're looking for a great brush to add to your collection, or if you're just starting out on your contouring journey then this is the perfect tool to start with!
Given the shape I prefer the brush specifically for contouring but you can use it for any cream or liquid products.
The Tweezerman Pointed Foundation brush is available at drugstores in the US for and in the UK. It is not available in India as of now.

It was my first visit to The Rec for at least 15 years today thanks to Rachael and some spare corporate season tickets. We were sat pretty much on the half-way line giving a good view of the pitch and the sunshine on the hills to the south-east of town. A couple of pints of Guinness and a hip-flask of rather warm Laphroaig helped the afternoon go smoothly, and Bath put on a good show soundly beating Newport 36-15.
I must try and get to another match without leaving it 15-20 years.

This allows banks in Iran to resume cross-border transactions with foreign counterparts. This is anticipated to support the growth in the country's cards and payments industry.

In April 2016, the governors of the Central Bank of Iran and the National Bank of Kazakhstan signed a memorandum of understanding on the expansion of banking ties between Iran and Kazakhstan. Furthermore, Belgium's KBC Bank and Germany's DZ Bank have started to handle European clients doing business in Iran.
- To stimulate consumer spending, the Central Bank of Iran introduced a new guideline in September 2016, under which local financial institutions are required to issue low-cost credit cards as part of its nationwide credit card scheme.

Deutsches SchauSpielHaus Hamburg
Kirchenallee 39
20099 Hamburg
The SchauSpielHaus is our main stage. The auditorium, built in 1899/1900 by the famous architect duo Hermann Helmer and Ferdinand Fellner, is designed in red and gold. With its neo-baroque details, the figural ornaments, and the red stalls it is considered to be one of the most beautiful theatre designs in Germany.
In 2013, with the beginning of the artistic directorship of Karin Beier, the auditorium was redeveloped extensively. The redevelopment was funded by the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg (Freie und Hansestadt Hamburg), the Department for Culture, the German Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media according to a decision of the German Federal Parliament and the HERMANN REEMTSMA FOUNDATION.
The front entrance is located at the Kirchenallee 39, opposite to the central railway station. The central bus station (ZOB) is within walking distance, approximately 2 - 3 minutes. There are excellent connections to the better part of Hamburg's public transportation services (HVV) and to the long distance commuter service.
Schedule your trip to the SchauSpielHaus with Hamburg's public transportation services (HVV) here.
A supervised carpark is located at the rear of the theatre (entry via Lange Reihe/Baumeisterstraße/Borgesch). If you have a ticket to one of our performances, you can use this carpark at a discount of 5€ for up to 90 minutes prior to the performance. The discount should be claimed prior to the performance at the carpark's pay booth upon production of your admission ticket.
Are you travelling a fair distance to attend a theatre performance in Hamburg? You will find a wide choice of hotels in all price ranges, around the Central Station – that is: next to the SchauSpielHaus.
There are two accessible car spaces inside the carpark at the rear of the theatre, just at the right hand side after the gateway.
In addition there are other accessible car parking spaces not far from the front entrance: one at the Ellmenreichstraße, plus another at the street called Borgesch, in front of the entrance to the Malersaal.
There is a barrier-free access to the ticket office.
Please note: Due to the fact that the SchauSpielHaus is a historical building it does not have any lifts. Thus, we recommend to persons with limited mobility to purchase tickets only in the stalls.
Wheelchair Space
Seats for wheelchair users are only provided in the stalls at the SchauSpielHaus. They are on ground level and easily accessible.
Public Restroom
An accessible public restroom is provided at the left hand side in the stalls.

I don't know where this came from. I really don't. But it wouldn't leave me alone so I decided to just go with it.
I glanced down at my Rolex, contemplating whether or not murder was truly always a crime. It wasn't normal for me to have such homicidal thoughts but I honestly could not take it anymore. I had been pushed to this level and murder was the only reasonable way to save myself. "Can you two please hurry up?" I asked, trying my best to hide my impatience. If I revealed that I was feeling impatient, they would take it as me rushing them. And rushing "perfection" was bad…I guess. Hell if I know at this point. I just like to stay quiet and keep my head down so I don't get it ripped off.
"Ick!" John exclaimed as Maryse started spraying her hair spray everywhere. He coughed violently and started waving his arms around. "What the hell? Spray that somewhere else."
Maryse gave him an irritated glare. "No. I was here first. You don't like it, you go somewhere else."
"There is nowhere else. This is the only mirror and I need it more than you do." John grabbed his ponytail and used it to hold his hair in place after he pulled it back.
"Oh really?"
"Yeah really."
She huffed loudly and did her little hand gesture thing, which made him snort and do it right back at her. Trying to contain my frustration at their utterly childish behavior, I decided to tentatively speak up. "We're going to miss our flight if we don't leave like right now."
"No we're not," John said dismissively. "Don't be overdramatic."
"Yeah Teddy," Maryse piped in. "Cut it with the drama. It makes you look constipated."
It took every ounce of self control I had not to slap myself across the face for daring to travel with the two of them. John was terrible because he had no real sense of time but I was willing to put up with it because I was dating him. And actually, before Maryse came along, I was starting to rub off him and he was actually getting closer to being on time for stuff. But then Frenchie decided she needed to travel with us because her usual travel buddies Bella One and Bella Two weren't working as many shows lately so that left her alone-until she came to us that is.
"Please, for the love of God, don't make us miss another flight." Maybe if I begged they would listen to me. "McMahon will kick our asses if we're late to another show."
"Oh hold your horsieeees Teddddy." God I hated it when she drawled out words like that. Her accent made it like a thousand times more annoying. "And grab my bags while you're at it. I'm almost done."
"He's not your slave Frenchie," John said in my defense. He exited the bathroom and grabbed his own stuff. "He doesn't have to carry your shit."
Maryse responded to that by saying something in French that was probably very nasty, and I decided to just to grab her bags along with my own just so we could move along. "John I've got it, let's go."
John looked exasperated about the fact that I was giving in to Maryse again. "Ted-"
"John we have to go," I interrupted. "Just drop it, okay?"
"Yeah John, deal with it." Maryse sauntered out of the bathroom and gave me a kiss on the cheek before grabbing her purse and leading the way out of the room. John started muttering all kinds of obscenities under his breath while I sighed and followed Maryse's lead. This was going to be the longest travel loop yet. I could feel it in my bones.
We barely managed to make it to our flight on time, and after the usual hassle we had to put up at the airport, the only thing I wanted to do was sleep. I put in my ear plugs and laid my head back on the pillow that I always brought with me when I traveled and started to drift off to sleep. In the midst of my drifting though, I felt John's fingers start to run up and down my thigh. "And what do you think you're doing?" I asked without opening my eyes.
"Nothing," John said innocently. He continued with his fingers for awhile longer before grabbing my thigh with his whole hand and giving it a squeeze. "I'm just…getting to know your legs better."
I chuckled at that. "Really now?" I opened my eyes and looked down at his hand. "Because if I didn't know better, I would think you wanted something."
"And what if I did?" John asked innocently. He licked his lips and gave me a knowing look. "Huh? What would you do then?"
"Well…I suppose I would give you what you want. What kind of boyfriend would I be if I didn't?" I reached over and lightly groped his crotch, making him let out a small moan.
"Well maybe-holy fuck!"
"Wha-ah!" I just about jumped out of my skin when a picture of a smoker's lung was shoved in our faces.
"Look at this," Maryse said as she happily kept shoving the picture in our faces. "Look! This is absolutely disgusting!" She was either completely oblivious to the fact that she was making a scene or she just didn't care.
"Oh my God, get that out of my face!" John yelled as he slapped it out of her hand. "Why do you even have that?"
"To keep horny boys from touching each other inappropriately," she replied cheekily. She gave us a smug smile before turning back around in her seat and going back to reading whatever girly magazine she had with her this time.
John and I exchanged irritated looks. This was a deed that could not go unpunished. Taking matters into his own hands, John took the piece of gum he was chewing out of his mouth and stuck it right in Maryse's very expensive (well, that's what she said anyway) hair extensions. I thought it was a bit too risky to go there because I knew from past experience that women tended to get scary when it came to their hair, but I figured John could take care of himself. He was a big boy after all.
I watched the scene in front of me in shock. Maryse hadn't noticed the gum in her fake hair until we got to the arena and once she did, she had flipped out big time. She burst into the men's locker room and started chasing him all around, screaming at the top of her lungs and amusing the people around us.
"This is better than TV," Mike said as he stole Evan's chips out of his hand and started munching on them. "Like seriously, I haven't seen anything this entertaining in ages."
"Hey! Give me those back!" Evan tried to snatch the chips out of Mike's hands but Mike held them up above his head.
"Get them now shorty!" Mike laughed evilly until Mark Henry came over and gave them back to Evan. "Stupid Kool-Aid man," Miz muttered under his breath. "You suck."
"Okay, that's enough," I said as I tried to come between Maryse and John. I attempted to grab Maryse but I got decked right in the face. I stumbled back from the blow, actually shocked from how hard she had hit me. "Holy-"
"Gotcha!" Maryse tackled John to the ground and started beating the crap out of him. John yelped and began fighting back, resorting mostly to hair pulling because he couldn't get away with punching her in the face. I watched as they rolled all across the floor, my mouth hanging open and my hand place up by my jaw. I was tempted to try to break them apart again but I decided against it. Maybe if they slugged it out, things would get better and I could finally get some peace.
"I'm driving," Maryse announced as she got into the driver's seat of the car.
I stopped and stared at her with wide eyes. "Uh…no?" I said hesitantly.
She glared at me angrily. "What do you mean no? You always get to drive."
"Because you and John never want to drive."
"Yeah well I want to drive now. So get in and shut up."
I looked at John, who was nursing bruises and scratch marks from the catfight earlier. "I don't want her to drive," John declared. "People from France can't drive."
"I'm from Canada you idiot. Now get in!"
I sighed in exasperation and climbed into the backseat. "Just be careful, alright?" I told her as John got in the back with me.
Maryse smirked and started the car up. "Oh please, I am like the best driver in the whole world." She put the car in reverse and practically stomped on the gas, promptly backing up right into the car that was passing us from behind. "Frenchie! What the hell is your problem?" John yelled.
"Me? I don't have a problem at all! That was his fault! Tell him that Teddy!"
I just let out a heavy sigh and shook my head. I seriously needed new travel buddies. I couldn't put up with this shit anymore.
