With green garland, red ribbons and lights all aglow, this time of year is special for: EGGNOG!
Believed to have been created in England, eggnog is a mixture of milk and/or cream, eggs, sugar, and spices (including nutmeg!). The addition of eggs is what gives it the light and frothy texture.
Most eggnogs use raw eggs, which is a no-no for many people (including pregnant women). Have no fear though; this easy homemade eggnog recipe uses COOKED EGGS so that it can be safely consumed by all.
Homemade Non-Raw Eggnog
- 4 cups of milk
- 5 whole cloves
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 ½ cups sugar
- 2 ½ cups light rum
- 4 cups light cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Combine the milk, cloves, 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and cinnamon in a saucepan, and heat over lowest setting for 5 minutes. Slowly bring milk mixture to a boil.
- 2) In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks and sugar. Whisk together until fluffy. Whisk hot milk mixture slowly into the eggs. Pour mixture into saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes, or until thick. Do not allow mixture to boil. Strain to remove cloves, and let cool for about an hour.
- 3) Stir in rum, cream, 2 teaspoon vanilla, and nutmeg. Refrigerate overnight before serving.
You'll never want to buy store bought again!
This delicious beverage can be used as a base for ice cream, or as a special touch in your coffee. Personally, I like to use mine in smoothies.

Recent things that have come up provided the motivation for the next three blogs:
- The published ahead of print Parchmann and McBride FMS article
- The recent interaction between Dr. Mike Stone and Mike Boyle
- The University of Oklahoma exercise science professor(s) accused of questionable practice in research
#2. Last month Perform Better hosted A Meeting of Minds seminar in Arizona. It has become fairly well-known that there was an interaction between Dr. Michael Stone and Michael Boyle during the latter's talk on strength and conditioning.
I am probably going to disappoint some of you when I tell you that I can't/won't give away too much about the disagreements that followed. I wasn't there, and distributing a second-hand account of what was discussed would not be the most professional thing to do. Apparently it is getting discussed out there on various internet forums. Although this content I am sure is interesting and debate-generating, I have managed to avoid reading it. God-knows who the people commenting are and how accurate or productive the discussion is.
What I will do, however, is state / remind you all of some things about Dr. Stone, along with what evidence-based practice is and the role of research and sport science in this.
The "research guy" vs. the "applied guy" situation would probably be a fascinating one for me if it wasn't, by it's very nature, so infuriating and frustrating. I am sure that other professionals in related fields are LAUGHING at us right now because this still exists in our "profession". I use the bunny ears because with the problems we currently face in our field we cannot truly call ourselves professionals, nor do we operate within a profession. Sadly.
Different people will always have a different emphasis / opinion in this world and this is fine - but to have such a divide is counterproductive to ourselves and more importantly our athletes. Everyone should have some background in sport science, and everyone should have practical/applied experience. Not one or the other. Just because someone may be a PhD does not mean they can't get out there and coach or haven't had any practical experience.
Different people will always have a different emphasis / opinion in this world and this is fine - but to have such a divide is counterproductive to ourselves and more importantly our athletes. Everyone should have some background in sport science, and everyone should have practical/applied experience. Not one or the other. Just because someone may be a PhD does not mean they can't get out there and coach or haven't had any practical experience.
Firstly, a little about Dr. Stone.
It appears that the majority of people out there have lost focus about his background and role in sports:
- Doc and his lab collects data in the real world of collegiate (and higher level) athletics. The primary purpose of this is to help each of the respective teams/athletes win. Research that comes out of it (in an effort to help other teams win) is supplemental to this.
- Doc is as much a coach as he is the above researcher. He coaches a sport and athletes directly, is a former head strength coach of an SEC school, and gets his hands dirty everyday. He has been "in the trenches" of coaching, S&C, and sport science since the early 70's.
- Doc lifts like (and with) his athletes everyday and is bloody strong and mobile for a man of his age.
- He is married to, and greatly influenced by, a legend of strength and conditioning. Meg Ritchie Stone has been commanding respect as a coach since the early 80's, and as an Olympian and medal winning athlete since the 1970's.
Doc does not need defending - I just feel that much of the above is forgotten. We (his students), and many others out there aim to follow a similar path with regards to how we conduct ourselves in our career. Unfortunately it seems having done formal research and/or a real MS/MSc/MA/PhD is looked at as a negative thing in certain circles!
When we decide how we plan, carry out, and evaluate our practice, what is the process we go through? Should we not collect evidence (from our data and from others)? Yes - our own experience of certain training modalities does carry weight - but we have to understand how subjective evidence can be skewed by a number of outside factors, and by the error of human judgement. If we are to use our own practice as evidence then we need to take data (good data) and lots of it. In order for this to be the case, we all need to know and practice good sport science.
The argument that research is behind practice may true from a time standpoint, but doing a good job of practicing sport science everyday means that you should have access to up to date good data, and then formal research will come slightly later to compare with. If we go in "two-footed" with a training modality or piece of equipment without evidence, we may well be hurting our athlete's performance.
Lastly - using science when it backs you up but disregarding it when it goes against your practice is NOT cool and is about as bad a thing as you can do in our "industry"/"profession"/"marketing business"/"training play-pen".

"Patchen was "a rebel all down the line." Cummings, Miller, Rexroth and others hailed this "poet of anger and light" as the quintessential countercultural hero. Frost illuminates Patchen marching to the beat of his passionate heart, pursuing his vocation by fiercely protecting his integrity and exploring innovative directions despite the vicissitudes of illness, chronic pain, and poverty, and despite the Establishment critics' wall of silence. These fascinating and poignant letters map out rich chapters of cultural history and reveal the difficult dance between art and practicalities, and the magnanimous spirit of Laughlin and others who rallied for Patchen." -Rachelle Lerner, biographer of forthcoming "A Rage to Order: Kenneth Rexroth."

The year is 1900. The place is London, England, at an imposing mansion overlooking the river Thames. Impatient dinner guests sit in the library, awaiting an overdue host...
Tomake sure, I walked over to a newsboy and glanced at the stack of papers at his feet. It was The World; and The World had't been published for years. The lead story said something about President Cleveland. I've found that front page since, in the Public Library files, and it was printed June 11, 1894.
Exactly. The Temporal Embassy. How can science live and breathe with such a modifier? It's a thousand times worse than any of these ancient repressions like the Inquisition, military control, or university trusteeship. You can't do this—it will be done first a century later; you can't do that—the sociological impact of such an invention upon your period will be too great for its present capacity; you should do this—nothing may come of it now, but somebody in an allied field a flock of years from now will be able to integrate your errors into a useful theory.
Other nations? Mutants? What kind of talk is this?
Your world is a slope and you roll down it all the time. Down and down until you wear out and die.
When I speak of time, I'm speaking of the fourth dimension.

During the 1980s and '90s when I lived in northeast Mesa, I often encountered the Salt River wild horses when horseback riding in the area or driving along Bush Highway. There was nothing more exciting than to see one of God's most majestic creations on the move or just grazing in the sun light. The herds were often encountered crossing Bush Highway at a large wash just east of Ellsworth Road, headed for the river to drink. That is until the area was fenced off due to the increase of human activity. During those days one would also witness Hereford open range cattle roaming freely; just part of what is Arizona.
Man is guilty of many pleasures and three of the most blatant are political ambition, greed and irresponsible procreation which has had an overbearing negative affect on the world's natural resources.
The Salt River horses, no doubt, have a long past history in the making of this state and it's history. It's only natural and justified that we should leave them be to continue carrying on that history and natural beauty. It was unfortunate enough when government entities fenced their 'free range,' but to remove them entirely is a cruel injustice to them. This being proposed so that we humans may have more room to "play" in an area that is now deemed overcrowded on weekends and holidays ... WRONG! Move those who are disrupting Arizona's natural heritage.
Careful consideration must be made in making a decision of this magnitude. Common sense must prevail, allowing the horses to remain free in the park.

My blog's name is a combination of Fordham (where I teach) and Fernald (my last name). The portmanteau Fernham also happens to be the name of the town where Virginia Woolf's narrator gets lost in A Room of One's Own.

Basically the only thing I really need done is to get the broken tooth in the back fixed, but I've been putting this off for so long. Money's tight. I should get a cleaning, too, as I think it's been a year.
The rest of it is related to the whole broken jaw incident from several years ago, and I can't deal with that stuff until I'm home for several months at a time.

10 Gifts for the Man's Man
If he spends a lot of time outside. With knives.
By James Joiner
Bill's Khakis Shoreman Sweater
Every guy dreams of the perfect sweater, even if he won't admit it. Something warm. Tough. Comfortable. Stylish enough to be chic, but not so hip that it takes away from the fact that it's just a damn good sweater. Well, Bill's Khakis have gone and made it, and you should hurry up and get a man in your life one before they're gone. Heavyweight, but not too heavy, cotton, so it's not itchy and doesn't smell, leather elbow patches, because, well, obviously. Need more convincing? How's this: It's got a button front, and it's even made right here in the U.S.A.

Nicki Minaj Meets 'Big Crazy Barb' on 'American Idol'
She's been talking about her for weeks. And on last night's episode of "American Idol," we were finally introduced to one of Nicki's favorite contestants, Zoanette Johnson aka "Big Crazy Barb."
The 19-year-old habilitation health specialist brought the "flava" with her over-the-top performance of the National Anthem during auditions in Oklahoma City.
"I'm a hugger, I'm a fighter, I'm a lover, and I'm an 'American Idol,'" said the Tulsa native.
She hit all sorts of notes with her dramatic rendition and forgot the lyrics (Mariah reminded her), but still managed to score a golden ticket to Hollywood.
Randy was stunned, Keith fell out of his chair, and Mariah was left speechless. But it was Nicki who was most impressed.
"I love you. I am obsessed with you," she told her. "Thank you for being a superstar."
Zoanette's next stop? Washington. "[Obama] better invite me to the White House," said the sassy Zoanette, whose favorite "Idol" is Fantasia.
Watch Big Crazy Barb's unforgettable audition below.

Featured Athlete Marshall "Major" Taylor: This is the story of a young African-American boy who grew up in Indianapolis over a hundred years ago. Despite living at a time when African-Americans were often denied basic rights, Marshall Taylor became a world champion cyclist.
Marshall earned the nickname "Major" when he performed bicycle tricks as a very young boy dressed in a military style costume. When he was a teenager he stopped performing tricks and moved on to bicycle racing – and he was really, really good – world champion good! His story is inspiring because he persevered even when there were many people who didn't want him to even be in a race, let alone win, just because he was African-American. Sometimes he rode fast just to get away from angry people chasing him! Author: Marlene Targ Brill
In Indianapolis, we have the Major Taylor Velodrome, a world-class bicycle racing track named for this cycling great. You can
ride your bike and also use inline skates at the Velodrome. If you want to try riding there, it's best if you are at least 10 years old. Call ahead and see if you can arrange a time to go try it out. And don't forget your helmet! 3649 Cold Spring Rd., Indianapolis, IN 46222 Velodrome Phone: 317-327-8356.
Featured Athlete Oscar Robinson: Have you ever heard of Indiana's own Olympian Oscar Robertson? In 1955 Oscar went to Crispus Attucks High School. Oscar's team won the Indiana State Championship, becoming the first all-black school in the nation to win a state title. Robertson led Crispus Attucks to another championship in 1956. Oscar was so good he played in College and went on to win a gold medal with the US Basketball team at the 1960 Olympic Games.
It's time again for the big game, even if our Colts can't be in it this time. The Super Bowl has been around for 47 years. The first Super Bowl was played on January 15, 1967 in Los Angeles, California. It was between the Green Bay Packers and the Kansas City Chiefs. This year, the Super Bowl takes place in New Orleans, Louisiana on Febuary, 3, 2013. The game is between the Baltimore Ravens and the San Francisco 49ers.
Wendell raced cars during segregation. Some racetracks wouldn't let him race because he was black. He never had a new car or any help from a sponsor or anyone else. His sons were his pit crew.
Despite that he finished in the top ten 147 times. He won one NASCAR race in Jacksonville, Florida in 1963. He is the first and only black race car driver to ever win a NASCAR race.
Felix plays in 1854 and likes the New York Knickerbockers. Louis is a soldier during the Civil War and plays ball between battles. Arnold is a fan in 1894 and gets to meet his favorite player. Walter is a batboy for the Brooklyn Superbas in 1908. Frankie does a little betting on the game in 1926. Kat, a girl, plays for the Grand Rapids Chicks in 1945. Jimmy can't believe it when he finds out the Dodgers are leaving Brooklyn in 1957. Michael just might pitch a perfect game in 1981. Snider turns baseball memorabelia into dollars on e-bay in 2002. Nine innings in a baseball game, nine kids in this story told in nine chapters…one chapter for each kid. The nine kids have baseball in common and something else, something really important…but you'll have to get to the last chapter to find out what it is. TIP: Pay attention to the bat and the ball. Each chapter is a story itself but the way the author ties it all together at the end is really cool! Author: Allan Gatz Look

My Ginger Rogers Story: How I've Danced Backwards and in Heels to Incubate and Accelerate
Written by leslie // October 12, 2011 // Featured Writings // No comments
Re-posted from Forbes.
As an entrepreneur, you spend a lot of your time looking forward and asking: Where are we headed? Do we have enough cash flow and resources to keep moving? What's the next big thing? Where do we want to be in 18 months?
Every so often, you also get to look back and ask: where have we been? what mistakes have we made and how do we learn and get better from them? what brought about key shifts for us and how can we summon the strength to make even more change happen?
Preparing for Silicon Valley Bank's Accelerator CEO Summit last week provided me with the opportunity to indulge in this very kind of reflective pause. Along with an Olympian (Linda Jackson), a sommelier (Raymond Nasr), the Deputy CTO of the U.S. (Chris Vein) and dozens of entrepreneurs and industry leaders, I shared a handful of defining moments that have changed the course of our company — and in the process, changed me.
While I normally focus on talking to other women about their experiences, today I wanted to share a few of my own, in hopes of continuing to shape and evolve the discourse around women getting more seats.
Five Defining Moments in JESS3 History
(Please click to view Slideshare presentation)
Defining Moment #1: Dedicating to Excellence and Labs.
From the moment of JESS3's inception, we made an unrelenting dedication to excellence. This has meant we never ship at 80% and would rather lose money on a project than have it fall short of the highest possible expectations. Our process and precision are as important to our output of excellence as the input from our incredibly talented team members.
Coupled with our dedication to excellence is our commitment to continuous experimentation. The labs mentality permeates our company; coming up with new approaches and collaborating without budget / time / client pressures are what have brought about some of our most monumental outputs: The State of the Internet, The Conversation Prism, The State of Wikipedia, The Geosocial Universe, the Ex-Blocker Plugin, and I Voted. It has also provided us with a platform to do pro bono work and support causes we believe in: Amnesty International, Cause Shift, the BP Oil Plugin, Changing the Ratio on Wikipedia and getting women More Seats. We fund these projects on our own and strongly encourage making this a priority — whether you are an established company, or just starting out.
Defining Moment #2: Narrowing Focus to Data Visualization.
There are hundreds, if not thousands, of creative agencies in the world. Producing excellent work and having a penchant for labs certainly helps break through the clutter, but even then, you are still up against shops that are bigger, more established and better resourced than you are.
Enter: our choice to focus on data visualization.
Inspired by a combination of (a) Edward Tufte seminars, (b) Jesse's proven track record as a UX and social designer, (c) getting a read on the market through wins with Brian Solis (Conversation Prism v1), APTA (Go Green, Go Public) and C-SPAN (Convention and Debate Hubs), (d) more data being more accessible thanks to social and open APIs and (e) the exponential growth of data online and in our lives… it all came together… and we chose to focus our efforts on information design, visual storytelling and the craft of data visualization.
The landscape for data visualization firms is WAY less crowded and we've found it to be more collegial, supportive and collaborative than it is competitive. Outcome: amazing deal flow, recognition and opportunity. Recommendation / learning: focus, focus, focus and specialize, specialize, specialize.
Defining Moment #3: Leaving My Day Job (or Facing Down the "Ginger Rogers Conundrum").
Since graduating college in 2004, I've been a legal assistant's assistant at two firms (Gleaves Swearingen and Arent Fox), a consultant at Dezenhall Resources, a senior producer and director of new media at The McLaughlin Group and a project manager, communications manager and director of engagement at New Media Strategies. Starting at Dezenhall and while at TMG and NMS, I was also helping JESS3 grow.
So while I was doing excellent work from 9 to 5, advancing rapidly in responsibility, role and salary, I was coming home every night (and working through the weekends) and rallying to then run JESS3's payroll, communications, proposal writing, finances, account and project management, HR and legal. I did this by myself — with off and on help from a small handful of people, chief among them our now VP of Production and Operations, Becca Colbaugh — from October 2006 to January 2010.
Enter: exhaustion, burn out, conflicts, stress, 100+ hour work weeks, learning and living more in a single day than most experience in a month… for almost four years. I affectionately call this the "Ginger Rogers Conundrum" — that is, having to do all the things others were doing only while trying to do many other things (i.e., backwards and in heels to Fred Astaire's moves).
In the fall of 2009, I made some important decisions, tested them and went with with my heart by New Year's day 2010. I doubled down on my longtime relationship with Jesse and JESS3 and have never been more challenged or happier in my life as a result. I can say that with 100% metaphysical certitude, to borrow a phrase from my old boss Dr. John McLaughlin. Recommendation / learning: try to leave your day job sooner if you can to pursue your passion, but also realize that working at other places in a variety of roles will also fill out your skill set to make a real go at doing it on your own.
Defining Moment #4: Hiring a Seasoned Team and More Women.
Part of starting out is being scrappy in every possible way: you charge less, you are understaffed, you hire less experienced team members, you yourself are less experienced and you make up for it with heart, hustle and fortitude.
The main things we truly had an advantage in were (a) the level of excellence in our design and (b) our social + data-driven creativity. We also charged waaaaaay less than anyone else in the market. The rest we failed at… miserably.
We didn't have enough bodies to do work; we also didn't have the right bodies. Part of the issue was that because we charged less, we had less to spend on talent that wasn't critical to design (the inverse issue of most companies, might I add). Which naturally begets the issue of when you hire "A players" in the design space, you leave little to spend on positions that were seen as overhead: project and account management. We also faced the same challenge that every company in our space is challenged by: the talent war for engineers.

December 22, 2014
TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW) - A local high school student is working to get others involved in politics.
Matthew Gatschet, a freshman at Hayden High School, started a "Teenage Republican Chapter," or TARS, for Shawnee County. He says he was spurred to action out of frustration over the Supreme Court decision on the federal health care reform law.
Tuesday night, the group gathered to hear from Dr. Kipp Van Camp, who's the father of a group member. He spoke to the group about a book he wrote on the health care reform law.
Both the young people and adults agree this is a great way to learn about politics.
Students from Hayden, Washburn Rural and various home schools all participate in the group.
Matthew says he's learned hard lessons about getting people involved in a new organization. He says no one attended his first meeting, so his grandfather offered to buy pizza for the next meeting, which perhaps caused it to draw more interest and attract a decent-sized group.

Dear Friends,
My family's winery has been involved in a lengthy and ongoing appeals process to maintain the special use permit that allows us to operate the restaurant on our property. With so much uncertainty, we have decided to seek a permanent solution for our winery and other landmark wineries through House Bill 3280 and Senate Bill 829, sponsored by our local representatives, Representative Paul Holvey and Senator Floyd Prozanski.
Our restaurant features organic produce grown right here on the property and also showcases the agricultural products of other local farms grown with great care right here in our community. We try our best to source as much of our meats and produce as close to our property as possible and we have developed wonderful relationships with many farms and ranches here in Lane County and around Oregon. For many of these small farms and ranches we are their largest customer and provide them with a venue to promote their products here in their own backyard.
First-class wine deserves to be paired with first-class food. I've always believed this and I've found it true the world over. Our winery is special, but its business model is similar to the other major wineries around the world. Internationally and throughout California and Washington, wineries are paired with high-end rural restaurants.
Oregon is in a global competition for wine tourism and we have a real opportunity to rise to the top. We compete for global tourists with Napa Valley, Bordeaux, Champagne, and Tuscany. We know that our wine, Oregon's breathtaking countryside and our local foods offer an experience that few can match. We believe our winery and restaurant, are a platform and showcase for Oregon agriculture.
I am asking for your support for House Bill 3280 & Senate Bill 829 which will allow my winery and restaurant to co-exist. Please sign this petition and add your name to a list of supporters of HB 3280 and SB 829. We are not only fighting for the restaurant, but for the local farmers who supply our food and the jobs of our restaurant employees.
Ed King

Should Toronto be concerned that the construction of a mega casino will result in another tax burden for Torontonians?
Yes. Studies show that the costs of the social problems a casino creates far outweigh the economic benefits.(13)
Another concern is Paul Godfrey's and the OLG's assurance to Torontonians that the increased use of the private sector in a casino development will prevent taxpayers from assuming a financial burden. Torontonians should remember Paul Godfrey's promise of no tax burden for the Skydome/Rogers Centre. The construction of the Skydome/Rogers Centre was a public/private enterprise with all three levels of government (the taxpayer) paying the largest percentage of the cost. In 1985, the estimated cost was $150 million. The final cost was $570 million ($900 million in today's figures).

Tacoma's Mash helps you make beers designed for your palateon February 11, 2013 @ 2:42 pm (Updated: 3:59 pm - 2/11/13 )
Jason and his wife Jennifer run Mash, in Tacoma. It's a far cry from how things used to be.
"She said, 'I don't see you anymore,'" Jason recalled on Seattle Kitchen. He solved the problem by quitting his job, but he didn't know what he wanted to do yet. So he and the family drove cross country in search of life's next calling.
They hit a few breweries along the way - and they came across a few different ideas. For a while Jason and Jennifer entertained the idea of opening their own restaurant. "But we didn't want to work that hard," said Jason.
They settled on being the supplier to home brewers - from beginners to experts - when they returned home.
Those that walk into Mash get a taste of the couple's expertise. Jason said he makes sure that when a first-timer walks in, they leave with all the instructions they need to get started at home.
Much like any recipe, the key is the ingredients, and Jason said they help you find the right recipe or blend for what you like best.
"I find out what kind of beer they like that's on the market, and that's what we shoot for," he said.
From different types of grain, brewing temperatures and roasts there are plenty of options to be found.
"You can make anything," said Jason. "Your only limit is your imagination."
Seattle Kitchen can be heard on KIRO Radio Saturdays at 2 p.m. and Sundays and noon. Available anytime ON DEMAND at MyNorthwest.com.

2012 Volkswagen Eos Convertible Komfort SULEV 2dr Convertible (2.0L 4cyl Turbo 6AM)
We've had the car for about 30 of the 36 month lease.
During the 30 months, car has been in the shop MORE than 60 days total (lost count).
There have been 3 major oil leaks, parts failures, and the transmission needed to be repaired twice.
The parts had to come from Germany.
Glad we chose to lease.
Can't wait to get rid of this thing.
the full review
I was dead set on getting a hard top, four seat convertible, and in my price range, there was only this and the Chrysler 200.
I've never owned a Chrysler and don't want to.
So that left this.
Within two weeks of picking up the brand new 2012, the leaks started.
VW won't fix it because they "can't diganose it."
The way they "diagnose" it is to run a three inch Home Depot shower head attached to a hose suspended a foot over the center of the top of the car.
Turns out when it rains in Rochester, NY, it rains over the entire car, not just a three inch spot over the center.
VW America is a nightmare of a company to deal with.

My wife wanted to buy a convertible when we moved to GA from NY.
We chose the Eos because of the hard top because our infant son.
We also liked the roll over protection that is built into the rear head rests.
However with the top down you have little room for cargo.
We expected this, however I can barely fit my golf clubs in the trunk, even with the top up.
The turbo charged engine is OK and fun at first, however it takes some pedal control to come off the line without slamming yourself back into the seat, when the turbo kicks in.

I bought a 2012 EOS in April of 2011.
As of this writing 12/24/11, I only have 3,100 miles on the car and it has had 3 water pumps put in.
Fortunately, the car has not broken down yet, but the water pumps build up pressure after the cars warm up and a screeching noise can be heard from under the hood.
My first was found by accident.
With only 400 miles on the car, I had gotten out to run back into the house to retireve something and I heard the noise.
I brought it back to the dealer and was told VW had a batch of defective water pumps and they would put another one in, which they did.
Stand outside your EOS and listen for the noise! My car is being replaced.

This senior has been driving domestic cars for 50+ years and recently leased a 2012 Eos Komfort convertible. My prior lease was a Pontiac G6 hardtop convertible The Eos blows the G6 away in many aspects and I loved that car. �Some words I use to describe the Eos are fun, quick, smooth, and beautiful. After 30 days and 1000 miles, I find the quality of workmanship and operation to be excellent. My mixed driving habits net me 28.3 mpg overall. The rear seating is fine for grandkids but I usually do not use these seats. �With the top in the trunk, you still have some room to go grocery shopping, not so with the G6. The wind screen behind the front seats is a welcome feature. �The car gives just enough road presence that you think you're driving a sport's car.There is a moderate learning curve for all the gadgets facing the driver, so engage your dealer's knowledge at delivery. My VW professionals made me very comfortable. �There is a vast array of exterior colors, I picked the Black Oak Brown with beige interior which has attracted many lookers. It was in the brochure and hooked me immediately. Now I can't stop finding reasons to drive my new Eos.
