Car Review: 2015 Toyota Yaris SE Liftback

2015_Toyota_Yaris_SE_016

I spent a week driving a new 2015 Toyota Yaris SE Liftback and came away impressed with this subcompact. The Yaris comes in a 3-door model along with the 5-door model I tested. It’s a small vehicle, but the extra two doors work nicely from a design and functionality point of view.

EXTERIOR

Toyota has become much bolder in its designs after years of playing it safe, and that shows up in the new Yaris as well, which was designed in Toyota’s ED2 design studio located in the South of France. It definitely has a European flavor. The aggressive new design starts with a horizontal chrome grille treatment that stretches into the headlamps. It also features a large grille opening we’re seeing on other Toyota models.

Movie Review: “Top Five”

Starring
Chris Rock, Rosario Dawson, Gabrielle Union, JB Smoove, Kevin Hart
Director
Chris Rock

“Top Five” has a secret: the movie’s “B” story is about sobriety, and the struggles many entertainers have with capturing the magic that came so easily to them when they were high. You can see why the studio would downplay that in the ads, because there is nothing funny about sobriety. As it turns out, the movie is plenty funny even with the heavier subject matter. It paints with a broad brush, and it’s clear how things are going to end within the first five minutes, but the journey is nonetheless entertaining, and at times wildly funny.

Andre Allen (Chris Rock) is a former standup comic who wants to be taken seriously as a dramatic actor. His new film, which covers the Haiti Massacre of 1804 (!), comes out the same weekend that Andre is scheduled to marry his reality TV star fiancée Erica (Gabrielle Union) on live television. Andre does a ton of press to promote the movie (where nearly everyone berates him for not being funny anymore), but while he’s hopping from junket to junket, he has an all-day assignment with New York Times writer Chelsea Brown (Rosario Dawson). Andre is suspicious of her because one of Chelsea’s colleagues has made a career out of savaging Andre in the press, but he and Chelsea develop a rapport, and before long, Andre opens up about when he hit rock bottom (there are no words to describe that scene). Now sober for four years, Andre still finds himself tempted, especially when Erica is changing aspects of their wedding, per the network’s instructions, without informing him.

Neat Nook Tricks for New Users

Nook!

eReaders like the Nook are growing in popularity as presents over the holiday season. They’re perfect gifts for people who love to read because they can store books, comics, and news feeds in a small, easy to carry place. However, there are a lot of other things that your Nook Samsung can do that you may not know about.

Personalizing Tweaks

When you’re looking for electronics, customizations and personalization mean a lot to people. You don’t want to have a laptop that won’t allow you to change the background or move your aps around. You likewise will want to make your Nook Samsung something that belongs to you. You can change the wallpaper easily enough, but you can also go in and remove the large active shelf that takes up half your homepage if you choose to according to Mobil Read.com. While you will not be able to replace that area with anything else, you can remove the shelf and replace it with a wallpaper of your choosing. To do this you need to access the settings menu, go to applications, and then uncheck all of the options that would show up on your ″active shelf″. Doing this removes those items from being seen and will give you a home page that appears clean.
