Christianity is a monotheistic religion centered on the life and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth as presented in the New Testament. The Christian faith is essentially faith in Jesus as the Christ (or Messiah), the Son of God, the Savior, and God himself.
Adherents of Christianity, known as Christians, believe that Jesus is the Messiah prophesied in the Hebrew Bible (the part of scripture common to Christianity and Judaism). Orthodox Christian theology claims that Jesus suffered, died, and was resurrected to open heaven to humans. They further maintain that Jesus ascended into heaven, and most denominations teach that Jesus will return to judge all humans, living and dead, and grant immortality to his followers. He is considered the model of a virtuous life, and both the revealer and physical incarnation of God.
Christianity began as a Jewish sect and is classified as an Abrahamic religion. Originating in the eastern Mediterranean, it quickly grew in size and influence over a few decades, and by the 4th century had become the dominant religion within the Roman Empire. During the Middle Ages, most of the remainder of Europe was Christianized, with Christians also being a (sometimes large) religious minority in the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of India. Following the Age of Discovery, through missionary work and colonization, Christianity spread to the Americas and the rest of the world.
As of the early 21st century, Christianity has between 1.5 billion and 2.1 billion adherents, representing about a quarter to a third of the world's population and is the world's largest religion. In addition, Christianity, is the state religion of several countries.

Moving to the area in 1995, I knew no one. Lyric Arts provided a great place to gain a sense of community, while enjoying and participating in an art form near and dear to me. It was then, as it is now, truly a COMMUNITY theater. The board is comprised of active participants in the craft and/or the community, people who clearly represent the views of the community at large. This has allowed the theater to grow and morph as needed to continue to be an asset to the community. Now, 16 years later, my dearest friends are either from this group or have joined in the experience. This theater gave my children their wings and self confidence, even the introverted one! My life was irrevocably changed for the positive by the influence of this theater.
My wife and I started by going to a few shows here and there. It didn't take very long before we were attending more than we we're not. Next thing you know I'm being asked as a local businessman to be on the board. I was honored to be part of the theatre. So I said yes of course. As soon as you walk in the front door I feel like I'm with family.
My wife and I have enjoyed this artistic gem since its infancy. It has been very rewarding to watch it evolve and mature from a small pocket theatre to a year 'round theatre of professional quality. The staff, volunteers and artistic participants continue to challenge themselves to elevate the quality of each production and to increase the outreach to the community.
This extraordinary company brings classic and contemporary theatre to folks of all ages in an impressive and comfortable venue that allows the audience and intimate artistic experience.

WWE News: Dean Ambrose opens up about working hurt inside the ring
Dean Ambrose works hurt all the time.
What's the story?
Former WWE Champion and current Intercontinental Champ Dean Ambrose is one of the most hardcore and intense Superstars the WWE has seen in recent years. 'The Lunatic Fringe' is willing to step up and throw down with anyone at any time but that could come back to bite him in the form of an injury at the drop of a pen.
During a recent interview with Top Turnbuckle, Ambrose revealed that he works hurt in matches all the time.
In case you didn't know...
Ambrose has competed in a street fight against the likes of Brock Lesnar at Wrestlemania and is now embroiled in a feud with Baron Corbin on SmackDown Live. Working with those two won't do too many favours to your body, to say the least.
The heart of the matter
Here's what Ambrose had to say about working hurt inside the ring (all transcribed quotes courtesy of Wrestling Inc.):
"I've been lucky to never been injured, anything catastrophic, but I'm hurt all the time like, every single day. I've been hurt for four years. More than that, but I'm always hurt, but never injured. Some of the stuff, maybe I should have been like 'Hey, I need six months to deal with this' or whatever, whatever it is, especially last year, but I'm just hard wired to be like 'I'm not hurt, I'm not hurt, I'm not hurt' and I just work through it until it heals or whatever."
What's next?
There is no doubt that Ambrose puts everything he has into each and every one of his matches, even if it's not in the best interest of his body. He has a very 'Attitude Era'-esque mindset and is the type of guy that won't disclose any injuries so he can keep putting on a good show for the fans.
While it's something that the WWE Universe can appreciate, Ambrose needs to continue with caution or else we won't have him around much longer.
Sportseeda's take
Working against monsters such as Brock Lesnar and Baron Corbin it's tough to believe that Ambrose has never suffered any significant injuries that can impact his in-ring performance and health. How do you feel about Ambrose pushing through injuries inside the ring?

Tables are magical.
Long or round, wooden or glass (or plastic if you're the lucky one at the kids table) they perform an act so simple yet earth-shakingly powerful…
Tables bring us together.
This week, we'll sit. Feast. Reflect and revel in the reason we're all here—to see ourselves in one another, to savor our senses, and to enjoy life.
So why not set the table for such a high act of magic?
Whether you're hosting or bringing the wine, I've got a few quick + simple ideas that'll help you create an unforgettable gathering (no matter who you're sharing it with this holiday!)
Ah, the alchemy of a table full of food to bring people together in one place. Families can be complicated, but setting the space for love and connection can become your magic wand that you wave over whatever story you're all (literally) bringing to the table.
The power of nostalgia is legit. If you're hosting, try decorating your table with your favorite memories to elevate the conversation beyond politics or break the silence if your family is not the talkative type. I love scrolling through my Instagram feed or taking pics of favorite photos and printing them out with basic computer paper (simple, square images can have big impact!) Spread them out on your table in between plates or use them as place cards if the person is in it (the funniest photo wins an extra slice of pie.)
Invite your family members to tell a story about the picture, or to share their own memory of their favorite Thanksgiving. If your family isn't the touchy-feely type, keep it light. Most embarrassing moments? That time you tried to sneak back into the house at 2am and your NRA dad thought you were an intruder? (Yes that really happened. I'm thankful he recognized my voice!)
Another beautiful way to wave that magic wand of nostalgia? Set up a separate table with candles and photos of loved ones who have passed. Have the family patriarch or matriarch tell stories to the younger ones about where they come from and celebrate the family legacy. (There's a special magic to honoring the elders of the family who are still here on earth and teaching the little ones how to ask questions and be curious about where they come from!)
Friends and feasting go together like pumpkin and pie. Chances are, you're able to choose who's coming to this table and dissolving years of tension or breaking the ice aren't needed on the menu — so why not go a little more woo? Introducing crystals or other gifts from Mother Earth make for a meaningful table display. No need to spend money though – why not go through your personal collection (or go frolicking in your front yard) and choose a special stone for each guest? Agate and flat stones also make for gorgeous place cards. Just get a metallic or bold-colored Sharpie paint marker and write their name on the rock. They can take them home and use them as paperweights or mementos of your love and friendship.
If you're feeling more artistic – have some fun with sacred geometry. Scour online images and choose some gorgeous mandala art that you can make into placemats or pops of color under candlelight. You can also go into any kind of store and pick up a mandala coloring book (you probably have one already lying around the house.) Color your guests happy with something made with love they can take home and put on their fridge!
As the little guests arrive, get out the Crayola's and blank sheets of paper to have them make their own special placemats. Ask them to draw what they're most thankful for (and if you have them around the house, add buttons, feathers and stickers to keep 'em busy while the adults get cozy.)
If you're feeling a little crafty, organize a treasure hunt to gather some pinecones from outside (or pick up some of the yummy cinnamon ones from the craft store.) Pinecones make great turkeys! They can write out their gratitude on strips of colored paper for the feathers, add a few eyes and a beak with some household glue and voila! Festive placeholders charged with the magic of thankfulness.
Have friends coming over for (more) pie and port after the feast? Post-turkey is a perfect time for casual fun (and maybe some light therapy, depending on who you spent the day with!)
If you know who's stopping by, take a few moments the night before to prepare each friend a handwritten note. This simple act brings such high vibes to both of you and may be just the thing they need after a long day of drama or general chaos.
Think of a few games ahead of time that'll brighten the night. Question games? Cards? For me this year, I might even set the dessert table with a few canvases and paint so guests can sip and connect over color. (Just make sure the kids have their own art table to eliminate the crazy!)
So how about you? What kind of magic will you be making this Thanksgiving? Who're you bringing to the table? Share below and keep the inspiration flowing!
Fun and magic,
PS. How about a magic carpet ride instead of Black Friday madness? I'm booking a few private sessions after this Thursday. They're fun & energizing — kinda like a reiki session on a magic carpet. Click here to get on the list!

And his very attractive wife was standing less than 10 ft away. She had to have heard him. I didn't say anything, but I was offended. How could he speak that way about his wife, especially in public AND in the presence of his boys? Nice going, Crap Dad, teaching your kids how to treat women. If my DH talked about me like that ,it would be game on!

Burgundy is one of the most famous wine regions in the world and one that confuses a lot of folks. There are many reasons for this: the number of appellations (100 but over 600 if you count all of the Premier Cru Vineyards separately); vineyard names on labels; village names on labels that look very similar to vineyard names; and the classification of the vineyards and the appellations. But it doesn't have to be so confusing. After all, there are really only 2 grapes used for wine. If you are drinking white, then it's Chardonnay (most of the time). If you are drinking red, then it's Pinot Noir (most of the time). That's the easy part. Once you understand a few simple facts about the region it all makes sense. Burgundy is not confusing, just complex.
The biggest reason for the confusion is the number of different appellations the region has. An appellation is a place-name and is how European wines are named. It tells you where the wine is from. Bordeaux, Bourgogne (Burgundy) and Vouvray are all places in France that make wine. They are also appellations.
Appellation laws must be followed by the winemaker in order for him or her to use the appellation name. These rules include the grape(s) one can use, where they can grow them, how much they can grow, how much wine can be made, how long the wine needs to be aged and in what vessel and many other things. This is all done to preserve typicity and promote terroir.
An example of an appellation in Burgundy would be a wine labeled Domaine Cleary Gevrey-Chambertin. This is a red wine made by me, from the village of Gevrey-Chambertin in the Cote de Nuits sub-region of Burgundy. I must source all of the grapes from the village boundaries and follow the rules of winemaking and aging in order to put Gevrey-Chambertin on the label. Simple enough, yes? But here is where Burgundy gets complex.
Burgundy has 100 of these appellations and they are based on the vineyards. This was started in monastic times when the monks were in charge of viticulture. They noticed that wine made from the same grape but from different plots, some only yards apart, were different. Some were better than others and some were drastically better than others. They named the plots and often put up stone walls around them (clos). Over time all of the vineyard plots were named. The wines from certain vineyards such as Montrachet, Corton, Musigny, Chambertin and several others were highly sought after and commanded higher prices than other vineyards. This led to a ranking of the vineyards from best to not so best.
The best vineyards are called Grand Cru. There are only 33 of these scattered throughout Burgundy. The name of the vineyard stands alone on the label. Chambertin, Musigny and Montrachet are examples of Grand Cru vineyards/wines. The word Grand Cru may or may not appear on the label. The next best are the Premier Cru. There are over 600 of these vineyards in Burgundy. The name of the vineyard will appear on the label after the name of the village that it belongs to. You will also see 1er Cru or Premier Cru on the label. Below the Premier Cru are the village wines. There are 44 villages that will appear on labels. Examples are Nuits-St-George, Saint-Romain, Beaune and Volnay. And then there are the regional vineyards and wines. There are 23 regional and sub-regional wines. These come from the least favorable vineyards. Although least in this case is still either good or really good in most cases. Examples are Bourgogne, Macon and Bourgogne Hautes Cotes de Beaune.
Notice that as you go down the quality ladder the area the wines are from gets larger. Regional and sub-regional wines are made from grapes sourced from large areas within Burgundy. A Bourgogne can be made from grapes grown anywhere within the Burgundy region. Grand Cru wines must come from a single vineyard, some of which are very small.
Here are some examples of these different appellations:
Domaine Cleary Bourgogne Pinot Noir – I source the grapes from all over the region. This is a Regional Appellation. At this level the grape name is allowed on the label. $19
Domaine Cleary Gevrey-Chambertin – All of my grapes must come from the village of Gevrey-Chambertin. This is a Village Appellation. $35
Domaine Cleary Gevrey-Chambertin 'Les Crais' – These grapes must come from the single-vineyard Les Crais. This is not a Premier Cru wine. This is a Village Appellation with a named vineyard on the label. The vineyard is not a Premier Cru vineyard but good enough I want you to know that all the grapes came from it. $45
Domaine Cleary Gevrey-Chambertin 'Premier Cru Champonnet' – The grapes must come from the single-vineyard 'Champonnet', a Premier Cru Vineyard. This is a Premier Cru Appellation. $80
Domaine Cleary Chambertin – All of the grapes must come from the single-vineyard Chambertin, a Grand Cru Vineyard. This is a Grand Cru Appellation. $195
The above wines are all red and made from Pinot Noir. Did you notice the prices went up as the quality went up? These wines are all very good (of course!). The regional wine is a fruit driven wine with some tannic grip but simple. It's a wine for lighter dishes or to be enjoyed among friends. As we progress to the village wine and then the single-vineyard, premier cru and on to grand cru the wines will gain more intensity, power, structure and depth. They will show more typicity of where the grapes are from and the terroir will shine through. The only wines for long-term cellaring would be the premier cru and grand cru. That being said, they can all be enjoyed in their youth.
What's up with Chambertin being in a lot of the wines names? Until the mid-1800's the town was known as Gevrey-en-Montagne. But a royal decree by King Louis-Philippe let towns in Burgundy add the name of the most prestigious vineyard to their name to help sell the village wines. So, the village of Gevrey-en-Montagne became Gevrey-Chambertin as this was the best vineyard in the town at the time. Some other examples are Puligny-Montrachet and Aloxe-Corton. This is why it's confusing to some. It would be easy to confuse a village wine, Gevrey-Chambertin, with a Grand Cru wine, Chambertin. Except for the price. Chambertin is one of only 33 Grand Cru vineyards (There are 8 other Grand Cru Vineyards in Gevrey-Chambertin, all with Chambertin as part of their name!). It's small and not a lot of it is made and demand is extremely high so the price is high. Even at the regional level the prices tend to be on the high side as it's all about supply and demand.
So, Burgundy does not have to be all that confusing as long as you know a little about the appellation system. Remember that as you go up the hierarchy of appellations the wines will get more complex, age-worthy and expensive. They should also be better quality and more of an 'experience' than just a bottle of wine. There is more to Burgundy than the appellations. There are the negociants, the brokers, winemaking traditions and some other issues but I think this is a good introduction. If you want to learn more you can visit http://www.bourgogne-wines.com/ it's a great resource that also has an educational aspect to it.

image Copywrited CraftCruisesBut OH MY GOODNESS, what fun!
Okay, this trip was really a trip of a lifetime. I did have to think hard on this one because it was a) so very expensive. b) I've never cruised before. c) I've never been outside of North America before. d) I was doing it all by myself 'cos love ones and friends were like, "Whaaa? A knitting cruise? Boring!" (I tried to bribe Mom, a.k.a. Gram, to come with delicious yarn we would buy, but she is deathly afraid of water. She'd rather lounge looking fabulous in her leopard print bathing suit beside the pool than get in. I kid you not.)
Above it the Ms Eurodam, the pride of the HollandAmerica fleet, my cruise ship. Huge, huh? I was verryy happy to hear this was a big ship because the cruise I selected was an 18 day trans-Atlantic cruise. Like as in open seas. Like as in thoughts of plowing our way through huge, terrifying waves. In the open seas.
So, here is a map of our "ports of call." Pardon my shrinking the Atlantic ocean! LOL

Looks like fun, huh? And it was, EXCEPT for some... unexpected challenges. More about that later.
This being my first time to Europe, I wanted to have a few days before the cruise to take in Copenhagen. I flew from Halifax International Airport on Iceland Air to Reykjavik International Airport, had a brief layover and then Iceland Air to Copenhagen. By the way, Iceland Air is awesome. So much better than the flights I've had on Air Canada and United Airlines. The stewardesses looked like they were wearing chic Parisian outfits instead of uniforms. Hair and makeup was stunning. And one of them was wearing at least 4 inch heels! They take beauty to the extreme!
It was hard saying goodbye to Canada and to Tim Hortons (my favourite coffee shop), but I had one last iced green tea and was ready to leave. I was so very tired in this pic. No makeup, no sleep for the past 24hrs. Nervous, I guess.

Drinking Solo Episode 1 Recap
Drinking Solo, the latest drama from one of the PDs of the Let's Eat series, seems poised to continue in its predecessors' footsteps when it comes to heart, connections, and appreciation of the finer things in life. A charming heroine and an arrogant hero clash in every way possible, never realizing that when it comes to their favorite activity, they share the exact same philosophy. Everyone raise a glass, and let's dive in.
In a nice restaurant, a man is served a tall frosty beer, and he sips it with a satisfied smile. He gulps down the rest in one go, then orders another, while other diners comment on his drinking alone. He puts his earbuds in and thinks to himself that he likes drinking alone — he talks all day at work, which makes him appreciate these moments of solitude that much more.
This is JIN SUNG-SEOK (Ha Suk-jin), who has some very important rules about drinking alone. First, the setting must be classy. Second, the beverages must be of high quality. And third, he strives to promote a mindful, high-quality drinking culture.
He checks his blood alcohol content with an app on his phone, never letting himself go over .o8o percent, the point at which he feels the most pleasantly tipsy. Another restaurant patron is stumbling drunk and his pretty female companion is embarrassed, and Jung-seok shakes his head. He thinks that those who lack self-discipline are the most pathetic of all.
Jung-seok responsibly calls himself a designated driver once he's finished with his meal, and he watches while the drunk patron's lady friend helps him into his car. He notes her Mickey Mouse watch, and sneers that she's immature and too accommodating to her companion.
As it turns out, the woman is the drunk man's employee, PARK HANA (Park Ha-sun). She sweetly offers to walk him up to his third floor apartment but he declines, apologizing and promising to pay her for the last three months of work as soon as possible.
He lives above the academy where Hana has taught for most of her adult life, but a sign on the door announces its imminent closing. Hana sighs heavily, feeling anxious about her life now.
But soon enough, Hana lands a job at another academy in Noryangjin, known for its academies and dorm-like student housing. Hana will be teaching students studying for the civil service exam, and she starts her new job with optimism. Her first task is to record a sample lecture, which students will watch to decide if they want to take her course.
Jung-seok drives to his first day of work at the very same academy, and he listens to a news report that enrollment is higher than ever, and some instructors have even reached near-celebrity status. These instructors are highly sought-after by the academies, and from Jung-seok's fancy car and snazzy suit, it's clear that he's one of these prized instructors.
A female instructor, HWANG JIN-YI (Hwang Woo-seul-hye) crows excitedly when she spots a good parking space, only for Jung-seok to zip in and take up two spaces. Jin-yi jumps out to confront him, but he calmly explains that parking this way protects others, because if his precious imported car is scratched, it's expensive for the other driver to fix. Well, that's some pretty convoluted logic.
He leaves Jin-yi sputtering in his wake, then she seems to recognize him. She wonders if this is the guy known as "High-Quality Trash."
Jung-seok watches a guy in the elevator dramatically copying a movie actor (Heh, it's Yoo Ah-in in Veteran), and gives him a hefty helping of side-eye. The other guy recognizes him and introduces himself as MIN JIN-WOONG (Min Jin-woong), a fellow teacher.
Despite Jung-seok's profound disinterest, Jin-woong seems a bit starstruck and chatters nervously at Jung-seok. Jung-seok shoves him out when the elevator door opens, stating that his ears are very sensitive, and tells Jin-woong to take the stairs. Pfft.
Jung-seok is led to his new fancy office, only to find Hana enjoying his brand-new massage chair, having been erroneously told it was her office. She's pointed to her own desk and introduced to Jung-seok, and she fangirls a bit when she recognizes him from lectures she's seen online.
Hana tells Jung-seok that she teaches Korean, and he quips that he'd never have guessed since she's so slow on the uptake. Embarrassed, she quickly takes her leave, and runs into Jin-yi out in the office. The two are friends, and we learn that Jin-yi recommended Hana for this teaching position. Jin-yi introduces Jin-woong, who immediately pegs Hana as a nice person. Aw, I like him.
When she gets a break, Hana complains about Jung-seok and his rudeness… to her phone. Which talks back and tells her that he wasn't that rude, ha.
Jin-yi shows up with coffee and tells Hana not to worry about Jung-seok — he's known in this business as High-Quality Trash (she calls him Go-sseul, which is an abbreviation of the words "high-quality" and "trash"). He may be handsome and have a Seoul University education, but he acts like trash to everyone.
Jin-yi reveals Jung-seok's sky-high salary, making Hana gasp, but she admits that he's worth every penny. No matter where he teaches, that academy becomes first in student enrollment, as a good ninety percent of civil service exam-takers sign up for his classes.
Hana asks what Jung-seok's secret is, and we see that he only teaches information that will be on the exam. His classes are so full that they have to set up TV screens for the students in the back, and his textbooks are bestsellers country-wide.
Jin-yi tells Hana that it's thanks to Jung-seok and his sky-high salary that she was hired — after paying him, the academy fired a lot of their mediocre teachers. They needed to hire some low-cost teachers, so Jin-yi suggested Hana. Well, ouch.
Jin-yi instantly feels bad about blurting out that last bit, but Hana shakes off her disappointment and says that at least she got a job. She thanks Jin-yi for her support, having heard that newcomers aren't welcomed in Noryangjin. Jin-yi offers to help as much as she can, and they hug.
Back inside, the ladies are surprised to find Jin-yi's class posters being replaced with Hana's, and Jin-yi slides her arm out of Hana's. She spots the school director and chases him for an explanation, and he says that she'll get plenty of students without advertising, while Hana is new and needs the exposure.
Jin-yi asks why Jin-woong's posters weren't removed since he never has many students anyway, but Jin-woong reminds her that his posters were taken down a long time ago. Awww. Jin-yi resorts to using aegyo on Director Kim, but he's unmoved.
Once he leaves, Jin-yi pretends that this is no big deal to her, as if she wasn't just pouting to her boss two seconds ago. Still, she stomps out when Jin-woong says she should help her friend, and Hana asks what she should do to smooth things over. Jin-woong advises her to hold her tongue, since she's new and needs the advertising.
Nearby, a young student, JIN GONG-MYUNG (Gong Myung) tells his mother on the phone that he's in Noryangjin, looking into this whole civil service deal like she wants. He hangs up and sneers at some posters of Jung-seok, calling him a show-off.
He's joined by his friend KIM KI-BUM (Key), who's inordinately proud of his new designer tracksuit. Ki-bum argues that the badly-dressed student image is a media construct — there's no reason they can't dress nicely.
Gong-myung wonders about their friend Dong-young, but Ki-bum says that he didn't pass the recent exam, so he's too depressed to join them. Ki-bum didn't pass either, but he's not really concerned, calling the civil service exam a marathon rather than a sprint. He's only studied for three years, and plans to pass the exam in about another two years.
He asks if Gong-myung is going to join them in studying for the civil service exam, but Gong-myung is still thinking about it. He turns his attention to the famous cup rice at the street carts, and earns another lecture about stereotypes from Ki-bum. Instead, Ki-bum takes him to his favorite all-you-can-eat buffet restaurant.
Gong-myung grabs enough food for four people, excited because he never gets to eat this much. Ki-bum complains that being a starving student is another unfair stereotype, and the idea of eating here all the time is nearly enough to convince Gong-myung to make the decision to come here to study.
Hana makes Jin-yi some coffee as a peace offering, but Jin-yi snaps that she's not in the mood. Their loud conversation annoys Jung-seok, who frowns at them from his office, then notices Hana's Mickey Mouse watch. He recognizes her from the restaurant, and grumbles to himself that it's not just the watch that makes her so hapless.
Jin-yi ignores Hana's efforts, until Hana says that she'll ask for her posters to be taken down. Jin-yi perks up at that, though she gives lip service by saying it's not necessary, while Jin-woong shakes his head. Jin-yi invites Hana to watch her record her sample lecture, because of course she's there to support her friend. Riiight.
Jin-yi's sample lecture seems to be more about her revealing clothing and sexy poses than any actual educational content, and Hana can barely watch. Jin-woong is up next, and he hilariously introduces himself as "the Yoo Ah-in of Public Administration." I'm so embarrassed for him right now.
Hana's video is simple and straightforward, but she's flustered when Jung-seok and Director Kim enter the room while she's filming. They watch for a while then leave, and Jung-seok says that he can tell she taught in a small academy before. He chuckles nastily at her humble educational background, and says that it's obvious from her sample lecture that she's not up to snuff.
Hana sees Jin-yi's poster being put back up, while hers is tossed in the garbage. She rescues it and sits in the empty stairwell, sighing that her education and her poster were both destroyed.
Hana narrates that her family was never well-off, but things got even worse once she got into college and her father guaranteed someone else's debt. She began teaching to pay for her tuition, not intending for the academy to be a long-term job. But she was forced to stay by her father's debt, and now she thinks of it as her vocation. She gives herself a little pep talk, reminding herself of what she's gone through to get here.
Gong-myung and Ki-bum kill some time in an arcade, where Ki-bum earns the high score at one console. Gong-myung asks if this is how he's been spending his time, but Ki-bum claims that he never plays games when in Noryangjin. Then Gong-myung points out that all the high scores in the game are Ki-bum's. PFFT.
Next they head to a coffee shop, where Gong-myung frowns to see students dating instead of studying. Again Ki-bum calls that out as a false stereotype, saying that people can fall in love even on the battlefield like in Descended From the Sun, and Gong-myung pouts that he even makes time to watch dramas.
The boys spot their friend KIM DONG-YOUNG (Kim Dong-young) sitting at a nearby table, sobbing and being consoled by a pretty girl (cameo by Ha Yeon-soo). They beat him up a little for bailing on them to spend time with his girlfriend, and drag him out for drinks as he protests that he needs to study.
At the end of the day, Director Kim wants to take the new instructors out for drinks, and Hana enthusiastically agrees. Jung-seok says that he doesn't drink with coworkers, nor is he interested in any friendly bonding, so the other four go without him.
Jung-seok does go out drinking, but alone with his earbuds in as is his preference. As the other professors down shot after shot, Jung-seok thinks that he prefers drinking alone because he can go at his own pace, doesn't have to listen to boring stories from his coworkers, and waste his emotional energy. Hana performs a nifty drink-mixing trick, while Jung-seok leisurely enjoys his drinking time, unconcerned with entertaining anyone else.
Gong-myung decides over drinks and barbeque that Noryangjin life is pretty good — you live off allowance, but don't have to deal with your mother's nagging. Ki-bum encourages Gong-myung to join them, but Dong-young tells him not to do it, because it's torture.
Ki-bum teases Dong-myung, since he's got a girlfriend which means he gets to have sex regularly, though Dong-young complains that it's not nearly enough, hee. He tells Gong-myung again not to do this, but Ki-bum reminds him that it's a marathon and tells him to relax.
Dong-young spits that living off your parents is nothing to be proud of, which strikes a nerve with Ki-bum (who already bragged that he bought his fancy tracksuit with Mommy's credit card). Ki-bum asks if he's supposed to sit at home and do nothing like Gong-myung, and now all three friends are arguing.
Gong-myung yells that the others are unemployed, same as him, and a nearby customer yells back that they should be studying instead of drinking. Gong-myung argues that he's not studying for the exam, and the man pokes back that at least his friends are trying to do something with their lives.
At ten o'clock Jin-woong's alarm goes off, and he excuses himself to go home to his wife. Director Kim says that his wife is scary too, and Jin-woong literally has to run out. Jin-yi volunteers Hana to do Produce 101's "Pick Me" dance for Director Kim to cheer him up.
Hana is clearly uncomfortable, but as the only newbie here, she's forced to agree. She and Jin-yi do the dance, and Director Kim joins them, until the partition into the next room opens to reveal an annoyed customer (cameo by Kim Hee-won). The complainer also happens to be Jung-seok's ex-boss, and he yells at Director Kim for stealing his best instructor.
Director Kim rebuts that he doesn't only steal the best instructors, and points to Hana as an example of the fact that he also hires incompetent nobodies without a future. Dayum. He sends the rival director back to his room with insults, then asks Jin-yi if he won the argument.
They celebrate his victory with a shot, then the waitress brings them the bill — for the other table. HAHA. Director Kim orders Jin-yi and Hana to give chase, though only Hana obeys.
She follows the rival director and his group to a nearby fish market, slipping and falling on the wet floor. She eventually snags him while he hollers about having his instructor stolen, and Hana shrieks that he still has to pay for his own drinks.
The rival director flails at her, and Hana loses her balance again. She teeters for a long moment before tumbling backwards, right into a fish tank.
Hana shuffles home later, soaking wet and wearing a borrowed set of work overalls from the fish market. She catches her reflection in a shop window, and curls her lip to recall how happy she was to be working in Noryangjin.
She moves on, but stops when she sees Jung-seok in a restaurant, drinking by himself. She nearly leaves him to it, but changes her mind and decides to forgive his earlier derision of her background, and make friends with her enemy.
Jung-seok couldn't look any more horrified to see a wet, bedraggled Hana in front of him, and she sits without being invited. She starts to explain her appearance, but he just instructs her to move along, saying that being seen with her could harm his reputation.
Hana asks what he means by that, and Jung-seok calls her an incompetent employee who kisses up to the boss. Hana says that he's wrong about her, and admits that she overheard him commenting on her educational background. Jung-seok interrupts her and says that he's not interested in her life story.
Hana grumbles that he could teach her to be better, and Jung-seok asks if she thinks she's Jang Geu-rae in Misaeng. He says that since this is Noryangjin, maybe she's "No Geu-rae," and Hana can only splutter in disbelief at his horrible attitude.
Hana runs into a poster of Jung-seok at the bus stop, and tells it that now she knows why people call him "High-Quality Trash." Gong-myung and Ki-bum (dragging a drunk and half-unconscious Dong-young) come upon Hana as she's beating up the picture of Jung-seok, and assume she's a student who took his class and failed the exam.
Gong-myung mutters that Jung-seok hasn't changed — there are still a lot of people who hate him. But he smiles when Hana kicks the poster and hurts her foot.
The boys take Dong-young back to his tiny gosiwon room (a dorm-like residence for students), and Gong-myung notices that Dong-young's belongings are all free items from promotional events. Dong-young drunkenly cries that he doesn't want to live this cheap life anymore either.
The wall is so thin that one neighbor knocks on the wall to tell them to keep it down, and they can hear the other neighbor call his aunt to tell her that he passed the test. That makes Dong-young cry even harder, then the first neighbor yells about the noise again, and Ki-bum hollers at both neighbors while Gong-myung tries to keep him calm.
Gong-myung and Ki-bum go to the roof, where Ki-bum muses that whoever built these gosiwons intended to torture them, calling it both heaven and hell. Gong-myung thinks that's pretty insightful, but Ki-bum deadpans that he got it from a webtoon, and Gong-myung shakes his head that Ki-bum has time to read webtoons.
He says that the students really do have it as hard as what he's seen on television, and he asks Ki-bum if that's an unfair media stereotype. Ki-bum just gives him a wry glance, then asks if Gong-myung has made up his mind to come to Noryangjin. Gong-myung isn't sure, since it seems harder than he originally thought.
Ki-bum says that it's not, but his sober expression seems to give lie to his words. Then Gong-myung follows Ki-bum's line of sight down to a balcony below, where a girl has set her underwear out to dry. HAHA.
Hana arrives home to find an unexpected package at her front door. Aw, it's from her mother, and the home-cooked food and sweet note make Hana tear up. She's disappointed when she discovers that the food's gone rotten, "just like my day."
One container seems fine, and Hana realizes that it's not all bad. She tells herself to keep her chin up, then treats herself to a beer, thinking that a good beer is soothing after a long hard day. "That's why I'm drinking solo again tonight."
She thinks that being pushed around during the day is what allows you to have peace while you're drinking alone at night. As we see Jung-seok and Ki-bum both having a drink by themselves, Hana narrates that sometimes in order to forget the reality in front of you, to put down any worries, we drink solo. Gong-myung also has a beer while sitting outside the gosiwon, and watches students heading in for the night.
Hana considers a drink at the end of the day as a gift for making it through the day, and a way to prepare for tomorrow. She finishes her beer and tells herself that she'll become a first-class instructor just like Jung-seok, and settles in to do some internet research on her new enemy.
On one site dedicated to Jung-seok, Hana gasps at the high number of members. But then she spots a comment that states that Jung-seok forged his academic credentials, and her eyes go wide.
Jung-seok makes his way to his swanky home and chooses a bottle of wine, then gets a message on his phone. It's an alert regarding the same claim that Hana saw on the website, that there's evidence that he forged his academic records. Jung-seok deletes the message, but he seems shaken. Could it be true?
As a big fan of both seasons of Let's Eat, I went into Drinking Solo cautiously optimistic — cautious because it's bound be a bit trickier to portray drinking the same way food was glorified by Gu Dae-young and company, and optimistic because the concept could be really fun if done correctly. Nearly the entire cast are new to me, but I found that made it easier to jump into their world right away, since I didn't have any previous memories of these actors as other characters. This first episode did a great job of introducing both the characters and the basic world setup, and I found myself almost immediately engaged and interested in learning more.
Speaking of, the main thing this drama does seem to share with the Let's Eat franchise is its endearing characters, who always seem so odd and quirky while still being approachable and likable. I particularly like Hana, who seems to be stuck in a career she never expected, but is determined to make the best of it. She's outwardly a pretty typical Candy, the way she left her own dreams by the wayside to help her family pay off debt. But Hana shows these glimpses of defiance that make me think that she's just two steps away from blowing up and telling everyone to get along without her. I dearly hope she gets that chance, before even her "friend" Jin-yi betrays her. Jin-yi definitely seems like a fair-weather friend — there for Hana as long as she has the upper hand, but completely shutting off if Hana seems to have an advantage. I sense an epic showdown between these two in the making.
At the outset, our anti-hero Jung-seok looks like the typical arrogant, entitled jerk, so I hope that there's more to him than just self-interest and ego. I do appreciate that he's gotten where he is because of his skill at his job and not because he comes from a rich family, but he's definitely got the nose-in-the-air attitude of a chaebol. I mean let's be honest, he's a total prissypants. I'm hoping that his appreciation of the finer things in life is a hint that he's more than just a mean, judgmental ass, though I'd also like to see him stoop to Hana's level and just let loose once in a while. But for now, I like how Jung-seok does make drinking alone look like a borderline religious experience, and even though I'm not much of a drinker myself, watching him enjoy himself so much makes even me want to go enjoy a nice drink.
I find the three young friends all adorable in their own ways, and I like how they're all so different, yet they seem to fit together so well. It will be nice to see the Noryangjin life from the students' perspective as well as the instructors', and I like that the show addresses the dissonance that comes with being an adult who's still dependent on family for support. Ki-bum seems happy to coast on that, while Dong-young finds it a source of shame and motivation to study hard and get himself out on his own. I'll be interested to see how Gong-myung adjusts to the student life after doing his army duty and living at home, unemployed, for a solid year.
I had wondered how this show would making watching people drink as interesting as watching people eat, and I'm pleased that they didn't attempt to show drinking in the same way. It's less about the alcohol itself and more about how people approach drinking in different ways and for different reasons — for companionship, for professional advancement, or for personal enrichment. I really enjoy how this writer and PD take a simple concept such as food, or alcohol, and make it into more than it seems. It's about getting out into the world, learning to enjoy those around you, and making connections where you never thought any could be found.
I do like that this show feels like its own entity, and not "Let's Eat with alcohol," which was a fear of mine. I adored both of the Let's Eat dramas, but I wanted to see something a bit different. I feel that Drinking Solo has kept all the quirky workplace situations and varied, lovable characters, while still making itself stand out as something new and unique. Perhaps the lack of food porn is a big contributor to that, though I do love Ki-bum's rants about media stereotyping, which vaguely remind me of Gu Dae-young's lectures on the proper way to appreciate food. A slight homage, without being too much of a copycat — it's exactly what I was hoping to see in this new series. So far so good, and if the show keeps going as it's begun, then count me in.

Picture: Brian Eno attends a press conference and photo-call for 'Luminous', a series of musical and artistic events which he is curating at Sydney Opera House...
Veteran rocker Brian Eno thinks music is ready for a whole new sound - and he's tipping Arabic tunes to move mainstream.
The 57-year-old star, famed for his flamboyant outfits as Roxy Music's synthesizer wizard, believes the new melodies will come from the Arabic world.
He says, "It's completely commercial, totally Arabic and totally viable for this world, just like the blues completely suffused the music of the early 1960s, woke it up and got it out of Cliff Richard and all this sort of thing and made it kind of dirtier and rougher and more lively and sexy.
"I think Arabic music is a similar prospect.
"I'd love it if American kids were listening to Muslim music. Wouldn't that p**s their parents off?"08/06/2005 13:36

For the past three years of his life, Little Man has sat in his car seat facing the rear of our vehicles.
However, very shortly after he turned three years old, my very tall Little Man hit the height requirement of his seat and was very close to the weight limit of his seat in the rear facing position. {For reference, at age three he was two lbs shy of the 40 lb rear facing weight limit - in only a t-shirt and jeans, so no shoes, etc. He also didn't have more than an inch between the top of his head and the top of his seat.} While the next logical step was to flip his seat around to be forward-facing, the actual act of doing so brought me a bit of anxiety initially.
I kind of feel like there are so many articles going around the internet on how rear facing as long as the child is safely within the seat limits is the best option - that by the time he became legitimately ready for forward facing, it was a little nerve wracking to finally turn him.
Like, is this really the safest thing?
In the end though, you have to go with the safety of your child in the seat you own, and even if it means turning them forward facing - when they're beyond the age of two and they hit those height and weight limits - that's what you have to do.
{In saying that, I want to be clear. You all know I really understand that being a parent is a tough, and I know in ALL of the mommy war issues - you have to do what works for your child, your family, and yourself. This - however - is NOT a mommy war issue. This is a safety issue, and I completely stand firm behind the belief that children should be rear facing until AT LEAST two years old - and there is no reason to turn their seat forward facing until they reach the weight and height limit.}
Initially, Little Man really didn't like it as well. For about the first few trips when Little Man was forward facing, he was really upset and asking to for his Daddy to turn his seat back around. After a few trips, he finally decided that forward facing was okay.
And then he realized he could see me.
Now, I officially have a backseat driver.
Each time I turn the radio down a little, he sees my hand and asks me to turn it right back up. When I take a drink of something I've brought myself for the trip {even if he has his own}, Little Man also wants a drink. Forget actually having a snack in the car! Any time I use the GPS on my phone or look to my phone when we're stopped to see the directions? Song requests for the Polar Express or Frozen soundtracks. He even has asked me to "turn the wheel!" or stop the car if he sees something interesting like a police car, fire truck, crane, or construction equipment.
It is somewhat nice when I see something {like a school bus or excavator - are we seeing a theme here?} that I can point it out to Little Man knowing he can actually see it as well. I can't tell you all how many times in the past year or so before this that I'd say, "Oh! Look at the ____!" when Little Man couldn't even remotely see what I was seeing.
Other than that, though? I miss his rear facing car seat.
Tuesday, April 1, 2014
We've finally hit the forward facing car seat milestone - and I'm not sure I like it.

My son loves to try and look around me to see out the windshield. I do miss being able to snack in the car without hearing, 'pleeeeeeeease' from the back seat!ReplyDeleteReplies
Lol, yes. I don't think I'll ever be able to snack again!Delete
Although, I will say - it's really nice being able to turn around, meet his eyes, and catch a little smile :)

Kennen Build Guide by PreyasorusRex

Kennen Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
This is the set up that I use for Kennen, I'm not the best Kennen but I have a good understanding of how to play him.
The rune set up I use for Kennen is for a few different reasons.
Magic pen for obvious reasons.
Armor. The reason why I get some armor runes is because you ARE going to end up auto attacking people early game to get your W on them. When you auto attack you draw minion aggro. Minions are physical damage.
Magic resist. Flat MR against casters mid.. seems like a good idea, no?
Health per lvl. I take some health per level because I've notice in a lot of cases you tend to get extremely low from ignite during team fights or other stuff. Just nice to have the extra hp to give you that chance to live with 1 hp. >_>
Movement speed quints. The reason I use movement speed quints is because I prefer movement speed over more magic pen or ability power, combine this with Kennens E and you can almost always avoid a gank. If you get boots first you will normally have around 375 movement speed at the start of the game which is extremely good against early games.
Summoner spells I take flash ignite because it's usual for casters mid + ignite is pretty ****.
Farming is really easy, if you're doing poorly or low on health farm with q so your spellvamp heals you. If you can take the damage from enemy you can use your E to rush through minions and tag everything to farm.
Keep in mind his ult only hits the same target 3 times. So 2 stuns in a 1v1 at mid if you do everything correctly.

A Proven Partner Trailer (1993)
01 January 1993 22 mins
"I came across an old industrial film by Siemens on computer and their language. To better appreciate the film I first of all cut off the sound, I then took out the colours and reduced the speed. Slowly the very substance of the film emerged and I began to see the deep meditation that was hidden in the film. Finally I made a black and white copy of the material and let the images pulsate in a general breathing rhythm." —Jürgen Reble

Blood Red Apple Juice - Poem by Nikhil Parekh
I flung pointed pebbles leaning on the balcony rail,
gnawed incessantly at my soft finger flesh,
poked at entangled knots of hair mixing long fingernails with scalp zone,
spit loads of saliva on pavements of stale concrete,
kicked violently at loose chunks of sand lying unattended,
tore every bit of transparent cloth in close proximity,
trampled on infinite insects that lurked infuriatingly across my way,
devoured solid bones of calcium, crushing them with my teeth,
peeled crisp wall paint in plenty with incoherent strokes of footnail,
ripped triangular caps from compressed bottles of soda drink,
spilled jars containing carbon ink on satiny covers of the bedroom mattress,
plucked masses of grass blades rolling languidly in undulating landscape of the garden,
transformed pencil ends to distorted junk by repetitive chewing,
added tones of salt to fruit juice before consumption,
pedaled my bicycle till a river of sweat descended down my neck,
revolved my body in clockwise journeys at electric beats of music,
trimmed waste hair emanating sparsely from twin nostrils,
applied scented lotion to the back of palm to revitalize skin,
roamed aimlessly through solitary streets at the onset of midnight.
Weird situations of nil work had made me fidgety,
Obsessions for exorbitant adventure seemed to be fast fading,
I strolled at fast pace across the periphery of my fruit orchard,
Clambered up a tall tree bearing blood red apple,
Snatched it deftly from within its house of Green leaf,
Drank sweet juice charged with small pints of ravishing flavour,
From deep cores within its delicately tender heart.

The world of action sports has no shortage of people trying to find unique ways to convey artistic and photographic expression.
We've seen artists like the Hawaii-born HULA use standup paddleboards to create beautiful, waterside murals and photographers like Clark Little capture amazing surf photos by placing himself directly inside some of the world's heaviest shore breaks.
RELATED: 5 unique tips for better landscape photography
To that end, an Ontario-based photographer named Stephen Orlando has compiled a stunning portfolio of long exposure photography by attaching LED lights to the paddles of canoeists, kayakers and SUPers.
The results are an ethereal, dreamlike series of paddle photos:
Really excited to show everyone my collaboration with four time Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden. Half of the proceeds from the sale of these prints will go to Project Canoe, canoe.org, a Toronto based charity that helps youth develop life skills through wilderness canoe trips. See the link in my profile to buy prints and support a great charity. I attached colour changing LED lights to Adam's paddle and used a long exposure photograph to reveal the path of his paddle stroke. This photo is a single exposure and has not been manipulated in Photoshop. Since Adam is a dark object that's moving, he's not in the same spot long enough to show up in the photo until I illuminate him with a flash. #kayak #kayaking #lightpainting #longexposure #photography #torontoart #toronto #6ix #the6ix #paddle #paddling #ontario #olympics #canada
"I love using long exposure photography to show things that are otherwise unseen," Orlando told GPI Design in May about his creative process. "I like the combination of technology and art that can be used in light painting photography."
"My background is in aerodynamics and I see a lot of similarities between my photography and the streamlines I use to analyze fluid flow," Orlando continued. "I see my photography as half art and half visualization of data."
To see more of Orlando's work, head over to his website, Motion Exposure.

405 Gridlock Due to Accident & Oil Spill a Reminder Why We Need Multimodal Transportation Options
David Murphy
The 405 project just can't seem to catch any good luck. Less than an hour after the scheduled opening of an extra lane on the 405, a horrendous accident and the resultant oil spill and lane closures almost shut down movement through the Sepulveda Pass corridor during the morning rush hour. Traffic was absurdly horrendous in the Westside this morning, and it's a great example of why we need multimodal options, like a subway under the Sepulveda Pass. Accidents happen, and it's important to have different options to get around.

Porsche makes rivals green
Is the need for speed about to be replaced by the need for green? Or, at least, being seen to be green? The metallic green paintwork on this new Porsche 911 press car is a coincidence, we're assured. It's new to the Porsche palette and it complements the light tan leather interior nicely.
But it could also have been green to represent envy. Porsche has managed to do something few of its rivals can match: produce more power and use less fuel.
For the updated 911 range that went on sale locally in September, Porsche built two all-new engines even though they have the same capacity as before (3.6 and 3.8 litres for the tech heads).
The result is a Porsche 911 that uses less fuel than a Toyota Camry automatic. According to the fuel rating label, the new 911 Carrera does 9.8 litres/100km while the Toyota wears a 9.9L/100km window sticker. And all this despite the Porsche having more than twice the power.
There are a couple of catches, of course. A Camry costs $30,000 and the cheapest ticket into a new 911 Carrera is $220,000. Indeed, you could have a Camry for every day of the week (and still have change) instead of one of these.
The other catch is if you exploit the power of the Porsche, the fuel consumption is likely to vary wildly from the official fuel-rating claim. But it is worth noting that on a freeway drive the new 911 Carrera is capable of sipping fuel at a rate of just 7.0 L/100km.
That all sounds very nice but this week we've tested the hotter Carrera S version of the new 911 range, which is $30,000 more expensive - a Camry-worth more - than the base model 911. Best of all, it's only slightly thirstier.
New, however, is a relative term. At a glance the latest 911 is identical to the model released three years ago. But car-spotters will notice some subtle changes to the front bumper, the new LED daytime running lamps and the reshaped LED tail-lights with a slightly chiselled edge. These discreet tweaks, however, belie the significant changes under the skin.
The engines have more power (the 3.6-litre six-cylinder is up 15kW and the 3.8 is up 22kW) and more torque (both up 20Nm). This is largely due to a new direct-injection system that sprays the fuel into an even finer mist so there is less waste and the fuel burns more efficiently.
The new engines are also five kilograms lighter than before and sit 20 millimetres lower to improve the car's overall balance.
Despite this and other weight-saving measures, three of the four new 911 models are up to 20kg heavier than their predecessors (the other model has lost 5kg).
Such minor weight gains may sound insignificant but Porsche measures every gram.
When I interviewed the engineer in charge of the new 911 earlier this year, he knew off the top of his head the culprits for the extra kilos.
The washer system for the xenon headlights (now standard across the range) and the 7.5 litres of washer fluid it must carry added about 10kg; the slightly wider wheels and tyres added about 5kg.
Porsche also made another round of changes to the suspension, which has brought further refinements and improvements to the way the 911 drives.
The biggest technical development, however, is Porsche's automated manual gearbox, which has contributed to the 911's fuel economy improvements - and slashed the acceleration time to 100kmh by up to a full second.
Porsche dubs it PDK. Let's call it Porsche double-clutch gearbox. It is similar to the system Volkswagen introduced on the Golf GTI, though more advanced.
A seven-speed transmission, it replaces the five-speed automatic that Porsche called Tiptronic but weighs 10kg less. It is a manual gearbox with two clutches - but no clutch pedal.
Confused? All you need to know is this: it drives with the same ease as an automatic but can shift faster and more accurately than a conventional manual. Similar gearboxes will become widely available on more affordable cars in the years ahead because of their weight and fuel-saving benefits.
There is also a performance advantage which, in the case of economy cars, means some makers will be able to fit smaller engines without taking a backwards step in performance. In the case of Porsche, however, it has used the technology to improve its acceleration.
Compared with the old automatic transmission, gear changes are slashed from 0.75 seconds to 0.4 in normal mode and 0.3 in a special "cheat" mode, for which Porsche charges a $2190 premium.
Gear changes are seamless and smooth until you press the optional Jekyll and Hyde "Sport Plus" button that makes them more rapid and abrupt. The same button also enables faster throttle response and launch control.
Simply hold one foot on the brake pedal, floor the accelerator with the other and then, within three seconds, release the brake for a 4.5-second sprint to 100kmh.
The system is so polished it can repeat this feat with monotonous ease. Few other performance cars could handle such punishment. Indeed, testing of a similar system on a rival German performance car a few years ago saw that car leave the track on a trailer after just one acceleration run because the clutch fried itself.
The new gearbox is so slick it's likely to account for the majority of sales. Previously, the automatic transmission added $5500 to the price; PDK adds $7000 to the 911.
You could argue it's money well spent. The regular manual Carrera sprints to 100kmh in 4.9 seconds but the PDK version with the Sports Plus system (which adds about $10,000 to the price) trims the time to 4.5 seconds. And a Carrera S with the same options cuts its times from 4.7 to 4.3 seconds.
Having sampled the 911 in Germany earlier this year, we reserved judgment until we drove it on local roads. The new 911 arrived in time for our exhausting Drive Car of the Year testing this week.
Rural back roads in northern Victoria - and a nearby race track - proved the perfect settings to get reacquainted. I was concerned the wider rear tyres might make the new 911 hit bumps more keenly but they don't. And as our race track sessions proved, the extra grip is phenomenal - in the wet or dry.
How it fares against its rivals in the performance car class in this year's Drive Car of the Year, however, will come down to all nine judges, not just me.
