There's a lot to learn about a person through their car. The way they keep it and the things in it can really each you about their personality. This past weekend Aly Steinle was interviewed about her car in order to learn more information on who she is and what she does.
The car was messy, filled with many of Steinle and her husbands belongings. Already the car has shown that Steinle is not very organized with her things. She has things scattered, but everything placed where she can remember and find them.
Some empty juiceland cups were found in the cup holders of her car.
Steinle explained, "Yeah, I'm kind of a health freak, so love that place because all they have is healthy stuff.
Steinle's diet was discovered just by some trash in her car. It is a very healthy diet. She's a vegan, and doesn't eat sweets every other month with her husband.
"I normally can't eat most of the sweets anyway, because I'm vegan and majority of the sweets have dairy, so my husband and I just decided to eat of and on months, because it's healthier and makes us feel better anyway."
After some more searching around through the car, lots of papers were found.
"Most of them are scripts. I'm super big into theater, so I've been involved in a lot of plays. All of those are just some old scripts," Steinle explains.
Steinle has been into theater for a long time. She just recently graduated from St. Edwards where she majored in musical theater. This summer she will be performing in the Zilker play, Shrek the musical.
Steinle also had several pieces of clothing lying around on the back seats.
"The other [clothes] are for me to change because I part time live in my car. Like half of my wardrobe is in here incase i need to change for work or rehearsal or work," Steinle says.
Just searching through Steinle's car has taught a lot about who she is. It explained her interest in theater, her diet, and how se keeps her things. A car is where a person spends a lot of their time, so i can teach a lot about them.

Neighbors 2: Sorority rising: EW review
http://www.ew.com/article/2016/05/17/neighbors-2-sorority-rising-review
1) Entertainment Weekly
2) Leah Greenblatt
3) 7
4) It still has lots of hilarious moments that will make you laugh
5) It never really has any heartfelt moments and is only ever raunchy
6) The girls never develop cohesive personalities, and the slapstick-heavy script—credited, tellingly, to five different writers—quickly tosses out any semblance of pacing, pinballing from one raunchy punchline to the next. (The goofy sweetness of Rogen and Byrne’s interplay has also been sidelined, and the visual gags are a lot gaggier, in both senses of the word.) You’ll probably laugh hard more than once; Sorority Rising is still rich in bikinis and bong rips and boner jokes. It just doesn’t have much heart. C+
Jane Austen Fits Whit Stillman like a glove in the witty Love & Friendship
http://www.avclub.com/review/jane-austen-fits-whit-stillman-glove-witty-love-fr-236454
1) AV club
2) Mike D'Angelo
3) 8
4) The cast does very well and makes the audience have a lot of laughs
5) There wasn't much of story and it lacked emotion
6) The result sounds roughly 80 percent like her and 20 percent like him, a pretty delectable ratio. What’s lacking is the deft plotting and emotional complexity of Austen’s great works. There really isn’t much of a story here—the main question is whether Reginald will heed his sister’s warnings regarding Lady Susan or fall into her trap, and he’s too ill-defined as a character for the answer to seem consequential. It’s fun to watch Lady Susan bulldoze her way through 18th-century propriety, but an entire film of wry breeziness is a bit like a seven-course meal that’s all sumptuous desserts. There’s a reason why Austen left this manuscript in the trunk.

I'm going to start with Pictures of the brownie mix and then adding the ingredients into it with a new picture for each new ingredient. I'll then stir the mix and that'll be a small video. Then I'll put them in the oven with probably a small video. I'll take them out again with a small video and show mushing them into the bowl with several pictures of mushing more and more to the sides. After that's done, I'll take the cream out and add a scoop with each new picture. Then I'll put it in to freezer and wait over night. The next day I'll take it out and add hot fudge with a video of pouring it and adding sprinkles and whip cream. I'll end with cutting a side and taking the first bite.

Movie review project
Captain Phillips review
In the movie 'Captain Phillips,' Tom Hanks plays the main character, Captain Phillips as the captain of the ship Maersk Alabama. The plot of the movie starts with Captain Phillips getting ready to go on a trip to Africa to transport food and cargo to the people there. Phillips arrives at his ship and they take off for the African coast. Not too long into the journey, he speaks with his righthand man, Shane Murphy, played by Michael Chernus, and they talk about the area they'll be traveling through which includes a spot containing lots of piracy along the Somali coast. They soon spotted two small boats following them. The pirates caught up to them and used ladders to aboard the ship. The pirates soon got to the Captain and had guns up to them demanding money. The crew eventually got ahold of the head pirate, Muse, played by Barkhad Abdi, and demanded to have their captain in exchange. The pirates agreed, and they would leave in a lifeboat on the ship, but during the trade they pushed Phillips in their ship and took off. In the lifeboat, the others pirates, Bilal, played by Barkhad Abdirahman, Najee, played by Faysal Ahmed, and Elmi, played by Mahat M. Ali, follow Muse's directions to keep Phillips alive to get more money from the US in exchange. This movie not only shows Phillips weakness, but also the pirates at the core and that it was something they had to do for survival. A theme showed in this movie would definitely just be the competition for survival in such poor countries like Somalia. This movie would fit viewers 13 and up, because it can get very intense and sad in ways that kids younger than 13 may not understand the whole extremity of it. This movie is very intense and really shows in the scenes how brutal the events really were. The ensemble effort sets it all up to make the audience feel as though they are there witnessing the event. It is a great film that hit me hard with lots of emotion. If I had to rate it, I would give it a 10 out of 10.
CE 6.2
1) 56 percent
2)a provision that says a license holder carrying a semi-automatic handgun on campus cannot have a chambered round of ammunition.
3) If he stays there, the Mexican gov is risking that he could escape and if he did that would be horrible on the Mexican gov
4) A camera connected to an app for owners to check on and play with their pets while they're away from home.
5) nyquist
Yes, I have used Lyft and Uber both. I've used them many times with my friends to get places when no parents are available. Some experiences were better than others where the drivers were more friendly and engaged in conversation whereas others were just silent, or some had snacks for grabs or chargers, but really at the end of the day i didn't really care because we had a ride to where we wanted to go. I think ride share is a very good thing for our community, because it can help the citizens get to places if they don't have rides which is a huge help seeing as how big our city is, so walking isn't normally an option. It also can help on nights when people can't drive themselves home because they've been drinking, so it can prevent accidents happening because people will have another option to get home. Using the ride sharing opposed to taxis is nicer, because it's just linked to your credit or debit card, so you never even have to worry about having cash on you. You can also see who your driver is so that you know your getting in the right car and that your driver is someone your comfortable with. I don't think they should be held to the same standards regarding safety, because the ride sharing shows you the car you're getting into, your driver and what they're rated so that you can know a little who you're riding with.

Movie prep
1) Captain Phillips, the pirates, the marine rescuer team
2) The plot of the story will probably start out right before they're a boarding the ship and introducing the different men that will be on the boat. The story will then lea onto the boat ride and everything fine and normal. They will then realize they trouble of the pirates attacking and a lot of action will start.
The pirates will capture the captain, and the crew will attempt to get him back and fail. Then, it will show the horrible days and how awful they are to Captain Phillips. It will probably be switching back and forth the boat scenes and men that are trying to rescue him. In the end, the rescue team will kill the men and rescue the captain.
3) It was a very huge event, because that isn't a normal thing that happens in everyday life with Americans.
4) The pirates wanted to steal the ship and what was on it most likely.
Movie research
1) Tom Hanks, Barkhad Abdi, Faysal Ahmed, Mahat M. Ali, Catherine Keener
2) PG13
3) Paul Greengrass
4) Kevin Spacey
5) BAFTA award, American Cinema editors, American film institute, 2 Black reel awards, London films critics circle award, Golden reel award, San diego film critics society
6) $218.8 million
7) 93% on rotten tomatoes
8) New York Times said that it was a "jittery thriller even as it also deepens, brilliantly, unexpectedly, into an unsettling look at global capitalism and American privilege and power."

This story surprised me a lot. Water is something that we all need, and they put so many peoples' lives in danger by not doing their job well. I hand' heard about this before now, but it scares me that this is happening and so many people could be poisoned when they think they're just taking a sip of water. The people that knew they were poisoning should definitely be punished. They were hurting people knowingly and that should put them in jail. I think if it were to get to the government that the people who knew about it should be punished more, but the ones who worked it should still be punished for not doing a good job like being fired or something.

The most beautiful smile I ever saw happened after a very rough day. I think that's maybe part of why it was one of the most beautiful smiles, because amidst all of the struggling I had just gone through in my day, I was reminded of the happiness people can feel.
I was going through a hard time with a bunch of my friends and questioning whether they even were my friends at the moment and struggling a lot with my grades. In fact, I was just coming from taking a test that I was quite sure I had bombed.
I was so ready to just finally leave school and forget about all that had happened in my my day and throw it behind me, but I had to sit and wait longer to wait for parents because I am still a child who isn't capable of driving herself home. As I was waiting, I saw one of my friends. He was on of the friends that you're not quite sure whether to say hi and you just take turns looking to see if the other is looking to wave, but you just end up going through a very awkward moment. But, there was no one else there so why not talk to him. We talked for a while as he sat and waited for his girlfriend and me for my mom.
After a conversation full of dumb questions just to keep from awkward silence, his girlfriend shows up. I really am thinking nothing of it because it's just another person out of the three thousand something at our massive high school, but I soon learned that she would not just be another person in my life.
Right away from me being introduced by her boyfriend to her, she shows so much joy and smiling. She talks to me with so much enthusiasm as if I'm her best friend that she hasn't seen in years, and yet, we had just met. She had so much energy and a fun attitude towards absolutely everything. She soon made me forget that I was even in a bad mood. Even after I had left and gone home, my good mood continued.
I think that's what life is about, honestly. Living it all in such a positive way and showing joy to others. I think people should live it happy and kind to where others are excited when they see them. So, I made a decision my self to live that way. I'll live everyday as happy and grateful as I can, and maybe I'll impact some people like the one girl did to me. And although maybe I'll never see her again, I thank her for showing me a better way to live and showing me her beautiful smile.

Photography:
1)My favorite photo is of Chris Lomelli from Guitar strings bring forth passion
1A) I like that its taken in a location other than school, because it shows its something he loves to do outside of school too
1B) rule of thirds
2) The photo of the winners of Bowie idol
2A) you can't really even see one of the winners even though thy should be the main topic
