THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS
THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL
What Happened to Kevin on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS

Kevin Fisher has had quite the history on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS so it's understandable if some viewers aren't up on some of the details of his past. The character made his debut in July of 2003, and although originally meant to be a short-term villain, blossomed into a contract role for actor Greg Rikaart, who remained with the soap until 2017. But thankfully for his fans, he returned to Y&R in April 2019!
Kevin was introduced as an internet predator who met Lily Winters in a chat room. He seduced the younger teen into a relationship and gave her an STD. Lily's friend, Colleen Carlton, didn't approve of the relationship, so Kevin tried to kill her by locking her in a refrigerator at Gina's restaurant and setting the place on fire. But in 2004, he was wrongly accused of electrocuting Brittany Hodges, and his brother, Michael Baldwin, and mother, Gloria Fisher, rallied to defend him. Kevin spent some time in prison where he was beaten by the other inmates. Hoping to redeem himself, he plotted with a boy named Alex, who drugged and tried to rape Lily so that Kevin would rescue her. This worked a treat until Alex tried to blackmail Kevin with the truth. Luckily, Gloria was more than happy to help her son get rid of the troublemaker.

Mackenzie Browning befriended Kevin and urged him to seek counseling. When Michael won some money, he helped Kevin buy Crimson Lights to run the coffee shop with Mac. Kevin's life took a dark turn when his abusive father, Tom, showed up in Genoa City and he relived the physical and emotional abuse he suffered as a child. So he wasn't particularly upset when Tom was shot and killed by John Abbott. After Mac left town, Kevin hired Jana Hawkes to help him at Crimson and the two began dating, eventually tying the knot. Jana had killed Carmen Mesta and later set up Kevin for kidnapping and attempted murder, but her deranged behavior had been caused by a brain tumor. Kevin's own life went a little crazy when he was held hostage and tortured by criminals, forced to commit robberies while wearing a chipmunk mask! (But the less said about that, the better…)
After Kevin was rescued and got his life back together, he was crushed to learn Jana had been having an affair, but found comfort with Chloe Mitchell. Jealous, Jana took Kevin hostage and later died when Chloe rescued him, but from natural causes, not the struggle. Unfortunately, as Chloe and Kevin were planning to tie the knot, Angelina Veneziano butted in, pretending to be in danger from the mob so Kevin would fall in love with her while protecting her on the run. It didn't work, but Angelina's mobster father forced Kevin to marry his daughter anyway. Back in Genoa City, Kevin explained to Chloe and professed his love, and Angelina agreed to annul the marriage.

Kevin and Chloe were finally married, but after the failure of their online business venture, TagNGrab, the couple fell on hard times financially and turned to stealing. Chloe soon came to her senses and didn't want Kevin near her or her daughter, Delia, so the couple split. Kevin got a job at the Genoa City PD to prove he was a good person but just as they were growing closer, Delia was tragically killed in a hit-and-run. After Chloe left town, Kevin grew close to Mariah Copeland, and their friendship soon turned into a tentative romance. However, while the pair survived a murder mystery, a disastrous night in bed made them realize they were better off as friends!
Chloe returned on the anniversary of Delia's death. She told Kevin that she wanted to start a new life somewhere else, but eventually returned to Genoa City secretly working for Victor Newman against Adam. Kevin was surprised to learn Chloe had another daughter, Bella, who she claimed was Billy Abbott's daughter. After Chloe left Adam to die in an explosion, Kevin helped her cover her tracks and get out of town with Victor's help.
Chloe returned again with Bella and reconnected with Kevin, who also learned that the little girl is actually his child. Unfortunately, at Kevin and Chloe's wedding, Chelsea learned of her friend's involvement in Adam's death, and exposed the truth. Chloe was forced to run away again, and even faked her death. But she revealed herself to Kevin, who agreed to move away with her and start a family with Bella far from Genoa City.
"Sorry, Nikki, you'll have to get your own latte. I don't run this place anymore."Howard Wise/jpistudios.com
Kevin came back since then to help folks with his computer skills, but without Chloe, who was supposed to be dead. However, in 201, his return to Genoa City returned him to his darker roots, kidnapping Phyllis Summers in the hopes of trading her to Adam for Chloe! Adam reunited Kevin with Chloe, but also kept him under his thumb, blackmailing Kevin into doing his dirty work around Genoa City. Thankfully, Michael was able to take his place and help his brother get free.
Unfortunately, Kevin didn't stay clean for long, briefly helping Chelsea launder money and getting in way over his head again. But after that drama, Kevin was overjoyed when Chloe informed him that she was pregnant again and they were going to have a baby boy!
Stay tuned to see how Kevin's story continues to unfold!

CLIENT GETTING LIFE BACK IN ORDER WITH HELP OF CLINIC
No one can argue that an addiction to anything can ruin your life. An
addiction to alcohol, drugs or anything else can tear families apart, lead
to criminal offenses, serious health problems and even death.
NOTE: This is the second in a two part series about the Walker Recovery
Center. Today's story is about a young woman who is taking part in the
treatment offered by the clinic. She agreed to tell her story to the Daily
Mountain Eagle, but asked if her real name not be used. She will be referred
to in the story as "Jane."
Opiates such as heroin and prescription drugs like Lortab and Percodan are
no exception. The Walker Recovery Center is avidly fighting to help opiate
addicts through use of methadone, a drug that has received some bad press,
but staff at the center say it works well in treating addicts.
One of the center's clients is a firm believer in that. "Jane" has been in
the program for over a year and is in the process of putting her life back
in order after many years of addiction.
Jane's long journey began when she was a child. She had migraines when she
was younger, at a time, she said, when very little was known about such
headaches.
"My first trip to the doctor about these headaches was to find out how I got
my brain tumor and how to treat it. It was that bad," Jane said.
She started taking a narcotic for pain, administered by her mother,
beginning at age 7 until she turned 14. At that point, she said she had her
own bottle of pain medicine. Later on, she started taking Lortab.
"That was my drug of choice. I came into this program (the recovery center)
specifically for Lortab," she said.
When she became pregnant with her first child, Jane said her ob/gyn took her
off Lortab and prescribed Tylenol 3. She said she could call for refills of
the pills, and her doctor always filled them.
"I would take them not just for headaches. I took them for a good mood," she
The problem got progressively worse, with Jane not taking the pills as
prescribed, and would go to see multiple doctors to get prescriptions for
the drugs. She then became pregnant with her second child, and this time
went to another ob/gyn. She tried to do the same thing, calling for refills
whenever she needed them. This time, however, the doctor would not refill
her prescription after discovering how many Lortab she was taking.
"I went five days without anything, and I got sick," she said, describing
her symptoms as vomiting, diarrhea and sweating.
In addition, she said after several days without Lortab, lactic acid began
to build up in her muscles, causing severe cramping and pain.
"The only thing that would make them go away was more opiates," she said.
It was then that Jane decided to seek help.
"My rock bottom was finding out that I was pregnant and I was badly addicted
to Lortab," she said. "Fortunately, I was still maintaining my job and
taking care of my children, but I was buying pills instead of buying
groceries."
She tried to call the clinic during the Memorial Day weekend, but it was
closed. When she finally reached counselor and pregnancy program director
Kim Wilson on the Tuesday after the holiday, she was told they were booked.
The answer changed when Jane told Wilson she was pregnant - room was
immediately made for her.
After meeting with Dr. Tom Camp, medical director at the center, who wanted
to see if she knew what she would be undertaking, she got involved in the
program, which included taking part in the Today's Mom program offered by
Annelle Studdard with the Alabama Cooperative Extension System.
"It is not a short process, and there are risks to the baby, but for them to
have me on a controlled methadone was much safer than what I was doing," she
While she was pregnant, Jane attended weekly group sessions and, at one
time, had to go to two sessions a week instead of just one. She said the
sessions helped her to stay devoted to her treatment, her pregnancy and her
nutrition had she not had the sessions.
About four months after entering the program last year, Jane's baby boy was
born. With the exception of having a short stay in the intensive care unit
at the hospital, she said he has turned out to be perfectly healthy.
Jane said the public needs to remember that addiction is a disease, and
similar to how diabetics will use insulin to control their disease, opiate
addicts can use methadone for the same purpose if used as part of a
controlled program.
"There is a stigma about methadone, methadone clinics and clients among the
public. If they would see addiction for the disease it is and methadone as a
drug that does help people and treats that disease, I don't think the stigma
would be there," she said.
She also said she hoped people would see that neither her or anyone else at
the clinic view methadone as a cure, but only as part of a treatment. In
fact, she said, she does not believe it is the most important part. She said
the sessions in group and with a counselor are what is important.
Another thing she wants the public to know is even if a person has to stay
on methadone for the rest of their life, that is not bad. She said she is
more productive now than she was prior to treatment.
But, she said, she believes a time is coming when she won't need it.
"I can actually see my life without methadone, and I am excited about it
because that means I won't be on any drug at all to maintain my mood," she
said. "I can see my way back to what I wanted my life to be like when I was
a little girl."
There is one other thing she is proud of.
"I am a responsible mother. I am a good mother, and nobody can dispute
that," she said.

Cliches 1
Look at the cartoons above. Can you guess the "real meaning" of the two expressions? Answers are in the "Notes" below.
What, exactly, is a cliché? It is a phrase that may once have been fresh and interesting, but has become stale from over use. We all use clichés from time to time; the problem is when our speech or writing becomes so loaded with them that we become boring.
For learners of English as a second language, there is an added problem: What sounds like a cliché to a native speaker may be brand new to someone just learning the language!
The only way to avoid this is to look up lists of clichés and learn to recognize them.
Here are five clichés which are similes (using like or as).
a. As busy as a bee: The bee is notoriously industrious, so this phrase was natural--a little too natural, since it has become overused.
b.As cool as a cucumber: In fact, this means "calm," not "the opposite of warm." Why? No one seems to know; but have you ever seen a cucumber get excited? Not me!
c. As dead as a doornail: A doornail is the large stud we see pounded into doors to hold them together. One suggestion is that it was pounded through and bent over for security, thus making it "dead"--unable to be reused.
d. As easy as pie: Pie isn't especially easy to make--but it's very easy to eat! That may be the origin of this cliché, similar in meaning to "a piece of cake."
e. As fit as a fiddle: We now use this to mean "in good health," but "fit" here originally meant "suitable." No one knows why we say this, other than the suggestion that it sounds good.
Let's see how these can be used. We should avoid using clichés if possible. But when we do use them, how do we use them correctly?
When you're working too hard, you'll usually use an ugly simile, like "I've been working like a dog," or some exaggeration such as "I'm working myself to death." But when you want to compliment someone in a bright and cheery way, you might say, "My, you're just as busy as a bee, aren't you?" Remember, this is a positive, upbeat idea.
The next cliché, too, is positive. "My boss never freaks out when bad things happen; he's as cool as a cucumber." We sometimes also talk about "grace under fire," and "making [something] look easy": "The boss really shows grace under fire; when he faces a crisis, he somehow manages to make his job look easy."
Ok, I admit, there's nothing positive about "as dead as a doornail." It can be used figuratively, though: "Sorry I didn't answer your call last night; I had already gone to bed, and I was as dead as a doornail." In this case, we can also say, "I was out like a light," or "I was long gone." As for other "as dead as" expressions, we also say "as dead as a dodo," the dodo being an extinct bird.
"How was the test?" "Oh, it was easy as pie." As I mentioned before, this is like saying "It was a piece of cake." Other common expressions are "It was a breeze" (a gentle wind) and "It was a walk in the park."
As I mentioned before, the word "fit" in "as fit as a fiddle" originally meant "suitable," but these days we use it to mean "healthy." We can also say "as healthy as a horse," "as strong as an ox," etc. These are heavily-used clichés, though, and are best avoided. How about, "I'm fit as an Olympic athlete"?
In the cartoons above, the two expressions are clichés. The "real meaning" of "tossing one's head in the air" is putting one's head back quickly. The "real meaning" of "sweeping past someone" is going past them quickly, and not paying attention to them, like when one is angry.
Look at each of the scenes below. What cliché above goes with each scene?
1. Your friend had to climb a mountain. When he returns, you ask him how it went.
2. Your uncle runs a small shop. You tell him you haven't heard from him lately, and he tells you why.
3. Your teacher went home to visit her grandfather for the holidays. You ask about his health.
4. Your neighbor's house caught fire, and he saved his wife, his son, his dog, and never looked upset. How would you describe him?
5. Your telephone's battery has no more power. Your friend wants to borrow it. What do you tell him?
1. Are there clichés in your language that have the same meaning?
2. Can you think of other English clichés that mean the same as the ones above?
3. Write some short scenes that end with the clichés above.
1. d "No problem! It was (as) easy as pie!"
2. a "Sorry, I've been (as) busy as a bee."
3. e "Thanks for asking! He's (as) fit as a fiddle."
4. b "It was amazing! He was (as) cool as a cucumber."
5. c "Sorry, it's (as) dead as a doornail."
(Note: As you can see, the first "as" can be left out in each answer. Also, I have added a few words to make it more interesting; you can, too!)

Aloha, Big Kahunas


I AM A FRIGGIN" ROCK STAR!!!
Check another item off in my Bucket List! Yes, whew...It is true, folks...I am now an officially recorded Rock Freaking Star!!! Bring on the motherluvvin' groupies (only ladies please)!!! Okay, okay...catch your breath...I know that you are all very excited reading this and are probably needing a moment to gather yourselves and some of you may have even fainted from the sheer magnitude of this awesomeness. But it is understandable.
It is also very true, by CROM!!! Yes! The week of June 8th thru the 13th we recorded the official BB WOLF & THE 3 LPS soundtrack back in Milwaukee at my bro-in-law's studio! And I can honestly say it is one of the top three coolest experiences I have ever participated in. The other two I only share with those closest to me...sorry. But anyway, leading up to the actual recording I was very nervous we'd be able to pull this whole thing off. I had three vintage BB WOLF & THE HOWLERS songs we had to put together. These are the never-before-heard "Lost Recordings" of BB's before his untimely death in 1920. Remastering them took many, many hours in the studio and then, on top of that monumental task, we had 12 other musicians (my self included. I played washboard on one track and sang on another! YES!) to coordinate, get set up, record and then mix and engineer their songs. All in 5 days time! I honestly hoped we'd get 2 maybe 3 clean songs out of the deal and we got 7!!! Yes, seven! And I was amazed, delighted, cried with joy, high on adrenaline the whole time. All the songs came together beautifully (I could be crass and say something about myself here but I shall refrain) and Pauly my b-i-l worked some real magic as our engineer.
All kidding aside I have to say that hearing a song that I wrote come to fruition by some of the most talented people I've ever had the pleasure of knowing literally brought me to tears. It was a very moving experience and I shall never forget it.
And it makes me want to do it again!
So the BB Wolf book FINALLY hits the stores next week! We're having a book release party at Comicopolis in downtown Santa Cruz on the 10th from 4pm to 8pm, and the cd will also be making it's official debut there as well! The books and cds and shot glasses and coasters will all be made available immediately thereafter on this here site. I hope that some of you reading this will be able to make the party as we will be having food (dead pig of course), drinks, prizes, music and me and JD signing our books and cds and the nibbly bodyparts of all the new groupies I am sure to now have as I am a FRIGGIN' ROCK STAR!!!
Thrilled to report that we JUST got the first batch of copies of the new book, BB WOLF AND THE 3 L.P.S sent to us the other day and they look SUH-WEET!!! They are not in stores yet but I am told that they will be very soon...which also means that they will be available on this here site VERY SOON!
I really have to comment on just how pleased I am with the overall quality of this book. Not only a beautiful hard cover but also with a nice inset centered picture of the photo of BB that's "glossed" for effect! The binding is also superb and the quality of the interior paper and printing made me wanna cry...tears of JOY not pain! I read the book 1,000 times as I was working on the illustrations but to finally have it in book form...completely different and completely fulfilling experience. I, personally, couldn't be more proud of myself and JD (especially since it's his debut book!) for the fine book we've produced. And, of course we couldn't have done it without the extra help put in by Troy Geddes (cover designer), my buddy CJ Bettin who put in a helluva lotta work on the lettering, and the folks over at Top Shelf for making sure the book turned out so nice!
And all for a mere $12.95 cover price! And I'm not being glib here...I was honestly SHOCKED that a hard cover book of this quality could be priced so reasonably. Shocked and delighted as this will make it that much more accessible to the fans. $12.95!
I will also be posting BB Wolf original pages very, very soon. I realize you haven't had a chance to see them yet but it's probably my finest work to date. Every page was fully painted with varying tones of india ink. I've been holding back on selling any pages until we were closer to the release of the book. So look for that soon as well.
A'ight, that's about it for now. Stella's last day of school tomorrow and then I start girding my loins for all the big summer cons!

For the Children?
Protecting Innocence in a Carceral State
Erica R. Meiners
Centering on the child in the struggle to dismantle America's carceral state
Placing the child at the heart of the targeted criminalization debate, Erica R. Meiners considers how perceptions of innocence, the safe child, and the future operate in service of the prison industrial complex. Meiners examines the school-to-prison pipeline and the broader prison industrial complex in the U.S., engaging fresh questions in the struggle to build sustainable and flourishing worlds without prisons.
In her brilliant and jarring analysis, Erica Meiners shatters the commonsensical narrative that we need to increasingly incarcerate in order to protect innocent children, or more insidiously, that the protection of (some) children should guide social movements. For the Children? reveals the limits and contradictions of prevailing organizational frameworks and should be required reading for anyone working toward justice.
Kevin Kumashiro, author of Bad Teacher! How Blaming Teachers Distorts the Bigger Picture
American Studies, Cultural Criticism, Education and Law, Psychology, Sociology, 2016 American Studies catalog, 2016 Social Sciences catalog, 2017 Geography, 2016 Fall, 2018 Education catalog, 2017 Cultural Studies catalog
Meiners' research examines the school-to-prison pipeline, as well as the broader prison industrial complex in the United States, where incarceration has become a key economic tool as well as a tool for maintaining white supremacist ideologies. As Meiners points out in her proposal, the U.S. has the largest prison population in the world, and incarceration here is not arbitrary, but based on skin color, class, and physical and mental health status. Meiners' manuscript hopes to contribute to a growing body of anti-incarceration and prison justice activism in three ways. First, the mss will critically engage with the growth of sex offender registries. Second, the mss will explore the affective components of public safety. As Meiners argues, understanding mass incarceration requires us to understand questions of feelings and safety, and how these feeling are gendered and racialized. Finally, this mss will situate the child at the center of these debates, looking at how notions of innocence, the future, and the safe child function in service of the prison industrial complex.
Critics Choice Book Award from the American Educational Studies Association
264 pages, 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, October 2016
Erica R. Meiners is professor of education and women's and gender studies at Northeastern Illinois University. She is author of several books including Right to Be Hostile: Schools, Prisons, and the Making of Public Enemies and coauthor of Flaunt It! Queers Organizing for Public Education and Justice.
One of our most important scholar/activists, Erica Meiners always challenges us to engage critically with the complex and sometimes surprising ideological strategies that bolster the expanding carceral state. For the Children? reveals how both prison advocates and prison abolitionists tend to rely on conventional notions of childhood and innocence. It should be read not only by movement builders but by all who believe that a world without prisons is possible.

Harish Salve
In a world where exploring and charting new courses seem to be the call, Harish Salve holds a very different opinion. His philosophy is "Stay the course." Mentored by none other than Nani Palkhivala, he says, "Give it your best and be your harshest critic. Competing with myself is the best way to do better, is another lesson in life that I learnt from him." Harish is quick to claim that he is no great moralist. Yet, he believes, it is sensible to be honest.
"Another person who deeply influenced my personal life was my mother," says Harish, giving the lady due credit. The reason for this influence on Harish lies in her being selfless. Although she was a doctor, she gave up her practice when she was in her 50s and went into spirituality. Being a total people's person, she oriented her world around charitable work. Although afflicted with cancer, her zeal for life never left her. "She epitomized the fact that kind, selfless gesture is never wasted," is what Harish says, remembering her.
While Harish's mother influenced his soul, his mind was swayed by his father's feats. Narendra Kumar Salve, who is better known as N.K.P. Salve, was a veteran Indian politician from the Indian National Congress, a highly respected parliamentarian and an authoritative cricket administrator. "Guided by my father's practice, which was mostly taxation, I too took up Chartered Accountancy," says Harish. "Yet, by the time I finished CA I knew it was not for me," explains Harish. Of Course, this change of heart did not meet his father's approval as he was banking upon Harish to build on his work.
So what was it that brought about this change in thought? By his own admittance, "I was influenced by my friend's father, the legal luminary, justice Arvind Bhogle, and thus dreamed of becoming a lawyer myself." And to say the least, he has done rather well as a lawyer, having been appointed as the youngest Solicitor General of India at the age of 43. And yet during his younger days, he was lured into pursuing CA! "It was all for the Rs. 50 which my father gave me as pocket money," laughs Harish.
Harish's father would have rather seen him turn to politics than law—something that Harish himself could never take to. As per Harish, "My mother found too many shades of grey in politics." Perhaps it was his deep attachment to his mother that kept him from politics. While Harish did not want to explore his options professionally, when it came to his marriage he was quite open to the idea of not only an inter-regional but an inter-religious marriage.
Himself a baptized protestant, he went in for an arranged marriage with Meenakshi, a Hindu. Incidentally she was also the great-granddaughter of Mahatma Hansraj, the well-known Arya Samaji educationist. He remembers the day after he got engaged, and had to go for a dinner, when Meenakshi said, "You are already leaving me and going." Respecting his wife's sentiments, from that day he never again left her and went for dinner. Today, they are the best of friends.
Meenakshi is an artist who primarily enjoys working in stained glass. "Of course, these days her bigger task is running my office including my accounts," reports Harish. But then, the house and the office are not the only jobs that Meenakshi has to handle. A pair of Rottweilers—the most pampered children in their house—also take a major portion of her time.
The couple has two daughters, Sakshi and Saaniya. While elder daughter, sakshi, on completing her BBA from UK, chose to become a patisserie chef and is training with Le Cordon Blew, the younger, Saaniya, realizes that her passion lies in languages. "We as a family believe one must chase one's dreams," says Harish. Saaniya too had initially studied Biology before taking up languages such as Spanish, Italian, Japanese and Chinese.
Awarded the Padma Bhushan for Public Affairs, Harish has been passionate about all things that he chooses to pursue in life. Whether in his hobbies such as music, which stretches to all forms from the classical to the popular variety, or his dogs, or even his family, his dedication is the same.
It is his dedication which has kept the family closely knit. For a man who is both stoical and strict, he has surely made a few allowances as, in his own words, he points out, "The three women in my life boss me around all the time!"

Group Eleven Resources (ZNG.V) has announced it will be drilling one additional hole at its 76.56% owned Stonepark zinc project in Ireland. The current drill program is in full swing, and due to adding the new hole, the total size of the drill program is being expanded to approximately 2,300 meters. This drill program was conducted to fine-tune the exploration targets at Stonepark ahead of a 'Big Drill' program expected later this year.
Before embarking on the Big Drill program, Group Eleven Resources will want to compare the results of the government-executed Tellus airborne survey to figure out where it will plan to drill some holes as part of its Big Drill program. Assay results for the current 2,300 meter drill program at Stonepark could be expected towards the end of the month, unless Group Eleven wants to 'batch' all five holes into one press release.

Q: How to fix an error of trying to bind ':basic_string >&' and ':basic_string >' in cpp? My code won't compile and I don't know how to fix it. It looks like the problem is maybe with the "=" operator but I'm not sure. I'm trying to apply a given function on the elements of the sorted list in order to get a different sorted list, but it says that I'm using different arguments than the expected.
My code looks like-
#include <iostream>
#include <cstring>
#include <string>
#include <functional>

#include "dummy.h"
using namespace std;

#ifndef SORT_H
#define SORT_H

    myList.print();

    LinkedList<string> new_list;
    new_list = myList.apply(getLen);
    cout << "Now printing new_list" << endl;
    new_list.print();

    return 0;
}

How can I fix this?

A: Your copy assignment operator is bringing you the trouble.
The LinkedList apply(A func) function returns (by value) a LinkedList, which then in turn is used in this line, in main.cpp...
new_list = myList.apply(getLen);

... to copy-assign newly created instance of LinkedList to the new_list, (which was instantiated a line above).
Thus, you need to incorporate proper logic into your LinkedList::operator= that will properly handle allocated memory and introduce the desired logic.
After considering this and few other resources, I would suggest you to stick to the copy-and-swap idiom, like so:
LinkedList& operator = (LinkedList list) {
    std::swap(list.head, head); // if you don't define your own swap
    return *this;
}

For this to work, you'll need to modify your copy constructor too, like here:
LinkedList(const LinkedList &list){
    head = nodeCopy(list.head);
}

The resulting example output then:
Hello, World!
Add first node
add new head
add new head
Now printing myList
Pavel <3
Rikki
yosi
Add first node
Putting into new list: 8
add new head
Putting into new list: 5
add new head
Putting into new list: 4
Getting out of apply
Now printing new_list
4
5
8

The Vampire Diaries Eyecon Convention Day 3, Part 2 – Tyler and Jeremy Reunited!
Hi there, my fellow Fangbangers! Welcome back to my third, and final, installment of The Vampire Diaries Eyecon coverage! Today, we will be digging DEEP into the twisted minds of Steven R. McQueen (a.k.a Jeremy "Mini" Gilbert) and Michael Trevino (a.k.a. Tyler "Teen Wolf" Lockwood). So, get out your shovels, fangirls!
(For those of you interested in additional Eyecon coverage, feel free to check out my "recap" of Paul Wesley's Q&A, here and my, admittedly gushing, recounting of Ian Somerhalder's Q&A, here.)
This particular blog post is dedicated to my FAVORITE Trevino Fangirl and Forwood / Taroline Shipper, Cherie over at My Spidey Sense is Tingling. Definitely check out her blog for the most comprehensive, and best-written, Forwood-related TVD coverage on the ENTIRE internet. I promise you, this is not an exaggeration.
So, are you ready for some juicy tidbits, and crazy Trevino / McQueen hijinks?
Awesome! Then, let's get started . . .
Michael Trevino and Steven R. McQueen seem to work a lot of their press junkets and conference Q&A sessions together. Having watched this dynamic duo in action, I can definitely see why! On the show, Tyler and Jeremy may be forever teetering between being at one another's throats . . .
. . . and bonding over their respective sometimes – broody natures, artistic talents, and the recent losses of both of their fathers.
But in real life, the relationship between these guys isn't nearly as angst-y. They are bromantic buddies, plain and simple.
That definitely comes across when you see these two interact with one another. Watching Michael's and Steven's easygoing banter on stage, as they jovially tease one another, and exchange inside jokes, you can tell that these actors are genuinely enjoying eachother's company, as well as the company of their fans. The laidback and inclusive atmosphere, made this Q&A session feel more like an evening spent sharing beers with friends, than a formal press junket. And, for me, that is a VERY good thing!
So, how close are Michael's and Steven's personalities to the characters they play on the show?
Steven actually seems fairly different from Jeremy. Whereas Jeremy seems quiet, kind of serious, and a bit of a loner, Steven is extremely outgoing, energetically animated, and gregarious . . . sort of a Class Clown type. And yet, according to Steven, he and Jeremy actually share some similar interests. Like his television doppelganger, Steven LOVES comic books and all things- animation.
Of the two, I'd say Michael Trevino has more in common with his character . . . at least, the kinder, gentler, version of his character that we have come to know and love in Season 2. A bit more reserved than Steven, but equally engaging with fans, Trevino shares Tyler's pensive and mysterious nature.
Every once in a while, Michael will get this grin on his face. And you just know that there's this hilarious running dialogue going through his head, which he's not quite ready to share with the world. Trevino also shares Tyler's sly wit and dry sense of humor.
In terms of interests, Trevino is a HUGE television buff! He loves watching True Blood, Dexter and anything with strong characters, intriguing plots, and a bit of gore. But he DOESN'T like movies about vampires who sparkle . . .
My apologies, Edward Cullen!
Here's what the pair had to say, on the following titillating topics . . .
Regarding their characters . . .
Not surprisingly, both actors had some pretty eloquent things to say about the roles they have been inhabiting for the past two years. As for Steven, he notes that, in addition to getting both physically, and emotionally, beaten down, more than ANY character on this show . . .
. . . Jeremy has also genuinely evolved and matured throughout the course of the series. "He finally seems to be finding himself, and getting what he wants out of life," Steven explained excitedly.
(Note: You can tell, by the way he talks about his character, that Steven REALLY doesn't enjoy being TVD's Resident Punching Bag. So, I hope for his sake, and ours, that this aspect of Jeremy's life will change very soon.)
When asked about Jeremy's suicide attempt / thwarted vampire conversion in the Season 1 finale, Steven had this to say:
"[After Vicki and Anna died so soon after his parents' untimely deaths] Jeremy felt like he literally had the Kiss of Death. Everyone he loved seemed to die on him . . . He felt like a monster. So, he wanted to physically become one."
But Jeremy Gilbert wasn't the only character to undergo a MAJOR transformation throughout the course of The Vampire Diaries. Aside from literally transforming into a WEREWOLF, Tyler Lockwood also seems to have transformed as an individual.
The Tyler of Season 2 of The Vampire Diaries allows himself to trust and care for others in a way that Season 1 Tyler never could. Suddenly, this character seems more real, and more vulnerable than ever before. Ironically, the act of undergoing a werewolf transformation has made Tyler more human.
But don't take my word for it! Let Michael Trevino tell you himself . . .
"I don't think anybody was really a fan of Tyler in Season 1," Trevino notes. "I know I wasn't a fan of Tyler, then. He was a jerk!"
"But then Season 2 came around, and you started to learn more about this guy, and why he is the way he is . . . His father abuses him. He feels alone. And then he's got this Werewolf Gene to deal with. Things start happening to him that he doesn't understand. And fans began to relate to him, and develop some sympathy for him, because of what he's going through now. So, let's love Tyler!"
(Oh, don't worry Trevino . . . we DO!)
Regarding shirtlessness . . .
Speaking of those jaw-dropping moments on the show, when male cast members suddenly become clothing-challenged . . .
. . . these last few episodes of the season should DEFINITELY prove interesting for Mini Gilbert, since they promise a possible SEX SCENE between him and Bonnie . . .
"Awwwww YEAHHHH!" Trevino exclaimed, in an uncharacteristically exuberant moment, when this little tidbit of information was revealed. (So, either Trevino is a BIG Jonnie fan, or he REALLY likes to see Steven without his shirt on!)
But Steven won't be the only TVD actor bearing his skin, in the final episodes of the Season. Another Full Moon is on the horizon, and it promises to bring about Tyler's return. You know what that means, Forwood Fans! Were-Tyler will be making a Very Naked comeback! (Hopefully Coed Naked . . . if you catch my drift.)
Regarding their characters' love lives . . .
Well, I already told you that Bonnie and Jeremy were probably going to DO IT this season. So, it's safe to say that these two will still be going strong, when TVD returns from its hiatus on April 7th.
When Steven was asked to choose between his character's two previous star-crossed lovers, the ever-diplomatic McQueen hedged his bets (though most of the fans in the room, seemed to overwhelmingly support Team Anna).
The actor was more talkative about Jeremy's new relationship with Bonnie. "You know, every time Jeremy gets a love interest, she dies. So, when I got the script, and saw that I was paired with Bonnie, I thought. 'She's a series regular witch! She can do all sorts of magical things! So, she's probably safe! Geez, I wonder if I'm the one who's in trouble now!"
Steven also noted how much he loved working with Katerina Graham. "She's a very talented actress and a really great person. We really enjoy working together."
But what about Tyler's once blooming, but now halted, romantic relationship with Caroline?
Unfortunately, Trevino couldn't really say very much about that, out of fear of spoiling upcoming episodes. However, he did admit that he enjoyed the supernatural connection that Tyler and Caroline share, and the way in which these two characters relate with one another.
In fact, when asked why fans should join Team Tyler versus Team Matt, Trevino seemed a bit surprised that this should be such a difficult choice! "Uh ohhhh," groaned Steven, playfully slapping Trevino on the back, when the question was asked.
In support of Team Tyler, Trevino had this brief, but effective, response. "Where's Matt?" He snarked, noting his on-screen best-buddy's / romantic nemesis' absence from Eyecon.
"Low Blow, MAN!"
Regarding their favorite scenes from the show . . .
Steven LOVED the scene in which Jeremy, upon first learning that Anna was a vampire, cut his hand, in order to tempt her with his blood. The plan worked, of course. And what resulted was a highly erotic episode of mutual handgasming (TM Cherie). Was it any wonder, that after this, the couple soon ended up in bed together?
Both Steven and Trevino really enjoyed acting in their infamous Bottle-Breaking Fight Scene from Season 1. "It was just so well choreographed, and cool to take part in," explains Trevino.
Speaking of well-choreographed fight scenes, Trevino's favorite episode of the show was Masquerade, in which he, Matt, and, ultimately, Caroline, engaged in a rather Matrix-esque battle of epic proportions.
"What about your first werewolf transformation, [in "By the Light of the Moon"]?" Steven inquires of Michael.
"Oh, yeah, of course! That was awesome," recalls Trevino.
Regarding what it's like to play a supernatural creature (versus a human surrounded by them) . . .
When asked whether he would prefer to be a vampire or werewolf, Trevino emphatically said "WEREWOLF!" He loves the strength and masculinity inherent in this man/ beast amalgamation, and the intensity of the transformation, as it is portrayed on the show.
But what about Steven? As we all know, Jeremy is one of the few remaining humans in the regular cast. Does McQueen ever wish he got to play a more powerful being . . . one who . . . maybe DIDN'T get his ass kicked so often.
"The way I see it, there are two [male] vampires in the main cast and one werewolf. But there is only one of ME! So, I figure they will keep me around for a while. And I want to keep my job, PLEASE!" Steven pleaded.
(Hmmm . . . notice how he didn't mention MATT, as a fellow human. Interesting . . . Was that just a slip-up on Steven's part? Or should Zach Roerig be worried?)
"He said, what? Awww, crap!"
Regarding past films, in which they were featured . . .
Hey, did you know that Michael Trevino and Steven R. McQueen BOTH enjoyed stints on Disney films with questionable, and possibly sexually suggestive, titles?
Trevino starred in Cow Belles . . .
. . . where he had the opportunity to "touch a lot of teet" . . .
McQueen starred in the high school time-traveling tale, Minutemen . . .
. . . alongside Chelsea Staub, with whom he had recently broken up. "It was kind of an awkward experience for me [working so closely with an ex]," Steven admits. "There was no touching of Cow Belles on the set, not even for a 'minute.'"
Regarding possible future movie projects . . .
Of all the cast members interviewed, Trevino was the only one who seemed to have a possible feature film in the can. "It's a homage to John Hughes, and has a breakfast club sort of feel," he notes.
"We shot it in Detroit. Hopefully, something comes of it."
After a bit of digging, I learned that the film to which Trevino is referring is called The Lowenfish Party. Based on the IMDB synopsis, it DOES sound VERY Breakfast Club-esque, which is DEFINITELY not a bad thing! Hmm, I wonder if Michael will play the loveable and jocky, Emilio Estevez character . . .
. . . or the Bad Ass, Judd Nelson one?
I guess we will just have to wait and see!
Speaking of films, Steven was asked whether he would ever consider playing his grandfather, Steve McQueen, in a biopic about the accomplished actor's life . . .
"No, I think that would hit too close to home for me," admitted Steven. "Besides, he and I are so very different."
Regarding the Best On-Set Prank . . .
So, remember that scene in The Return when Uncle / Father John (played by David Anders) was in his hospital bed, clad in patient-garb?
Well, apparently, when he got up to go to the bathroom, one of the crew members rubbed Hershey Kisses in his hospital bed, to make him think he "had an accident." (Ewww!)
Take that, BAD DAD!
Regarding cast members from Glee . . .
When asked about his friendship with Mark Salling, the gorgeous actor who plays Puck on Glee . . .
. . . Trevino noted that he met him once, at the Superbowl. "[Mark] seems like a pretty cool guy."
However, Trevino did admit, above the snarky guffaws of McQueen, that he has "a lot of good friends in the Glee cast."
Hmmm . . . I wonder who he's talking about here? Certainly not, his girlfriend, Jenna Ushkowitz (who plays Tina Cohen Chang on the show), right! 😉
Regarding Steven R. McQueen's Possible Singing Career, Lack of Twitter, and Various Tattoos?
When asked if he would ever be interested in starting a singing career, like his very talented younger brother, Jessarae (who performed at the convention), Steven said, emphatically, "No."
"You know, when my brother first started singing, I felt very competitive . . . and I wanted to see if I could sing too. So, I put out a video on YouTube . . . and . . . well . . . many people who saw it, told me I should keep my Day Job."
Well, fangirls, I found that video. So, you can judge for yourself . . .
Upon being asked why he doesn't have a Twitter account, Steven responded, "This may sound lazy, but there are a lot of fake accounts out there in my name. And they seem to do all the work for me!"
(Funny answer, though I kind of doubt that's the REAL reason, don't you?)
By the way, did you know that Steven has a tattoo representing his mommy on his chest? (She was in the audience at the convention. How sweet is that?) Or that he has a happy face on his body that he put there, himself? (Is that sanitary?)
Now you do!
Well, that's all I've got, folks! Thanks so much for taking this little journey to Mystic Falls with me! It was truly an amazing experience . . . one I undoubtedly will remember for the rest of my life.
Oh, and special thanks go out to my Amazing, Super Fun, Talented, and Witty Blogger Pal Amy over at Imaginary Men for LITERALLY taking this journey with me. Believe me when I say, I NEVER would have done this, if it wasn't for her.
See you all, April 7th, for the BIG TVD Return! 🙂

Let's Have Some Fun with The Vampire Diaries' Promotional Posters!
Aside from being an amazing show, with stellar writing, and a talented, not to mention, sublimely sexy, cast, The Vampire Diaries is also known for its INGENIOUS marketing strategies. Every few months, the CW marketing department releases a few new fabulous posters to promote the show. These posters tend to feature one or more of the cast members in a sexually suggestive pose, adorned by both the TVD logo, and a titillating tagline, which hints a bit at what's to come on the show.
Here are a few of my favorite promotional posters, from The Vampire Diaries' recent past . . .
In honor of the upcoming mid-season premiere of The Vampire Diaries, the CW has released three NEW posters, one featuring each of the show's three main characters. The first poster was released around the time that the show's mid-season finale, "By the Light of the Moon" aired. Elena was the focus of that poster.
Its tagline, "Death is a sacrifice Elena is not willing to make," was a not-so-subtle reference to the dangerous deal Elena made with Elijah, in order to release Stefan from the Underground Tomb, where he and Katherine were heretofore trapped. (It also probably referred to "The Sacrifice," the title of Season 2's tenth episode.)
The second new promotional poster was released in early January 2011. I'm pleased to report, that it featured my FAVORITE character, Damon Salvatore, in a mesmerizing EXTREME CLOSEUP!
As for its tagline, "Look out Damon, your emotions are showing," it refers to Damon's increasing inability to "turn off his emotions," particularly when it comes to the people he loves (Stefan and Elena), and the friends, who have helped him along the way. Could these not-so-hidden emotions impact his relationship with Elena, in the upcoming episodes? Will Damon's "forgotten" declaration of love to his brother's girlfriend, be "remembered," once again? (MAN, I HOPE SO!)
The third installment of this new poster series, features Stefan Salvatore. According to interviews with Paul Wesley, himself, his tagline, "There's a reason he always gets the girl," refers to Stefan's nefarious, almost Damon-like past, and the one woman in it who deemed him capable of redemption.
This can only mean two things, TVD fans: (1) more flashbacks to 1864; and (2) DARK STEFAN RETURNS!
But why must Elena, Damon, and Stefan be the only cast members of The Vampire Diaries to get their own promotional posters? What about the rest of the cast? Honestly, I think this is a travesty of justice! For this reason, I have decided to create MY OWN posters for some of the OTHER residents of Mystic Falls . . .
Here's one for our favorite Baby Werewolf, Tyler Lockwood . . .
Not creative enough for you? Perhaps, this one will be more to your liking . . .
But what about Tyler's new Gal Friday, Caroline? Surely SHE deserves a poster too!
In fact, I don't think one poster is enough for Caroline Forbes. After all, Vampire Barbie isn't just a character, she's a commodity to be "played with" by fangirls (and adoring boys) EVERYWHERE!
Having already covered, Tyler and Caroline, I would be remiss not to create a poster for the third point of that aforementioned Love Triangle. Of course, I'm referring to the Cute but Clueless, Matt Donovan . . .
Speaking of Clueless, what about Aunt Jenna? Doesn't SHE deserve some poster love too?
While we are on the subject of Jenna, what about her dashing History Teacher Turned Vampire Slayer Boyfriend, Alaric Saltzman? Surely, Damon's bromantic buddy, and favorite weapons enthusiast is worthy of a poster all his own. Isn't he?
Hmmm . . . I think I'm missing a new couple here . . . Oh, I KNOW! It's Mini Gilbert and Bonnie the Teenage Witch!
But enough about all these Good Guys, I need some VILLAIN posters! Let's start with the biggest villain of them all . . . ROSE! (Hey, she interferes with my Delena Mother Ship! That makes her a BIG BAD VILLAIN, OK?)
But, you know, there are villains I ACTUALLY LIKE on this show. And one of them is Kickass Vampire Katherine. Granted, unlike the other cast members for whom I've created posters, Katherine HAS already been featured in promotions before. (See the poster featuring her and Stefan, above). Nevertheless, this Tomb-Dwelling Femme Fatale has never had her OWN poster . . . until now . . .
(It's a Full House reference . . . just in case you missed it.)
Another villain we all love to hate, is the mysterious OLD VAMP, Elijah. He's smart, intense, wryly humorous, and scary as ALL HELL! So, I for one, think it's high time, he got inducted into our TVD Poster Hall of Fame . . .
Well, that about does it for the villains, we KNOW. But what about the ones we haven't met yet . . . You all know who I'm talking about, right? I'll give you a hint, he's a vampire who's name rhymes with "mouse." 😉
So, there you have it. Now ALL of the main cast members of The Vampire Diaries have their own promotional posters, just in time for mid-season premiere . . .
Well . . . almost everyone . . .
Speaking of "The Descent," I am proud to report that my blogging pals, Amy from Imaginary Men and Cherie from My Spidey Sense is Tingling, will be LIVE BLOGGING the entire episode! Be sure to check back here, later this week (probably this Tuesday or Wednesday) to find out how YOU can join in with the fangirly festivities.
See you then, my fellow FANGBANGERS!

TV Couples Showdown: Veronica and Logan (of Veronica Mars) versus Caroline and Tyler (of The Vampire Diaries)
Last week, I thoroughly entertained myself, by conducting a fairly in-depth comparison two of my favorite television couples, Pacey and Joey of Dawson's Creek, and Damon and Elena of The Vampire Diaries. In fact, I was SO entertained, that I thought it might be fun to try again, with two other television couples I have to come to adore, namely, veteran couple, Logan Echolls and Veronica Mars of Veronica Mars, and newbie couple, Tyler Lockwood and Caroline Forbes of The Vampire Diaries.
As you can see, Caroline is a HUGE LoVe fan! So, she is very excited about this.
(Special thanks for this post go out to the veronicamars tumblr, for many of the fabulous GIFs and screencaps you see here; and to my brilliant blogger pal Cherie, for her inspiration, and for allowing me to pick her brain on many occasions, regarding what makes both of these couples tick. Oh . . . and you know the drill on the YouTube videos. Most of them aren't embedded. So, just click on the internal links and ENJOY!)
Tyler Lockwood and Logan Echolls — Poor Little Rich Sheep in Wolves' Clothing
Regarding Logan Echolls, in the pilot episode of Veronica Mars, Veronica can be quoted as saying, "Every school has an obligatory psychotic jackass. And he's ours."
Given that Logan bashed in the headlights on Veronica's car with a crowbar, shortly thereafter, we certainly can't blame her for making such a harsh comment toward her future soulmate.
One might argue that, had we asked Caroline who the "obligatory psychotic jackass" in her school was, at least during the pilot episode of The Vampire Diaries, she probably would have said, "Tyler Lockwood."
And though Tyler didn't bash in the headlights on anybody's car, he DID bully young Jeremy Gilbert, and date rape Vicki Donovan . . .
Perhaps, Logan and Tyler are such major asshats when we first meet them, because of their startlingly similar upbringings.
Both teens are extraordinarily wealthy. Logan's father is a famous, award-winning, actor. Tyler's father is the Mayor of Mystic Falls. Both dads are TOTAL jackasses, who emotionally abuse their sons, and beat the crap out of them, on a regular basis.
At school, Tyler and Logan would both be considered "popular," though whether said popularity is attributed to their "pleasing personalities," or their wealth and, tendency to beat up others who disagree with them, is arguable. Nonetheless, at the start of their respective series', both Tyler and Logan have hot girlfriends, with matching reputations for "putting out."
Tyler's girlfriend was Vicki Donovan. She was eventually murdered by Damon Salvatore. Then turned into a vampire.
Vampire Vicki was then murdered again by Stefan Salvatore (but he only did it in self-defense). To make a long story short: Vicki's DEAD!
Logan dated Lilly Kane.
Lilly screwed Logan's dad (Ewww!) . . . and videotaped it. So, Logan's dad killed her.
Unlike Vicki, Lilly only died once . . . (though bloody incarnations of her appeared throughout the series; so, it felt like she died multiple times).
Following the deaths of their first loves (slutty though they may have been), both Tyler and Logan experience a run of bad luck. And each blow they receive causes them to feel even more vulnerable and alone. Tyler's father dies in what he believes was a freak fire (he was actually murdered by some Angry Tomb Vampires) . . .
Logan's mom commits suicide, by jumping off a bridge . . .
Logan learns his dad killed his girlfriend. And, to add insult to injury, he just so happened to be porking her at the time. Tyler learns his dad was a WEREWOLF! And, to add insult to injury, because Tyler killed someone accidentally, he's going to become a WEREWOLF TOO!
As you can probably tell. by now, these are some SERIOUSLY DAMAGED DUDES! And it's going to take a pair of really special ladies to fix their wagons up right! 😉
Caroline Forbes and Veronica Mars: Spunky Blondes with Major Ass-Kicking Capabilities
In addition to being blonde and petite, Veronica and Caroline possess many similarities to one another. For starters, they were each the daughter of a Town Sheriff.
As for Caroline's and Veronica's other parents (Caroline's dad and Veronica's mom, respectively), they were more or less, absentee. Caroline's dad left Caroline's Sheriff Mom for another man. (Yep! That's gotta hurt!) Veronica's mom left Veronica's Sheriff Dad because she was an alcoholic depressive, who was unable to cope with family trauma.
When their series' began, both Caroline and Veronica were dating sweet, but kind of bland boys, who just so happened to be best friends with their respective eventual soulmates. Caroline dated Matt Donovan (brother of Dead Vicki) . . .
Matt and Tyler were best friends.
Veronica dated Duncan Kane (brother of Dead Lilly) . . .
Duncan and Logan were best friends.
Before the series began, both Veronica and Caroline were rather naive and innocent, and had little to worry about, aside from what they were going to wear to prom . . .
. . . or whether they would win the local beauty pageant . . .
But then, things happened in both of their lives, that forced them to reevaluate their priorities. Veronica's best friend died. And as a result of the murder investigation that followed, her father was shunned by the community, and lost his job as sheriff. She was then dumped by her boyfriend, and all of her rich friends, and date raped at a party.
As for Caroline . . . well . . . she was in a near-fatal car accident, then killed by a girl who looked JUST like her best friend. And then . . . she became a vampire.
The teens' respective experiences forced them to grow up fast. It made them wiser, tougher, and a bit more jaded about the world around them. But it also caused them to become fiercely protective of the ones they love. In other words, Caroline's and Veronica's trials and tribulations prepared them for the intensely dramatic (and sometimes traumatic) romantic relationships into which they were about to enter . . .
Love Begins . . .
Tyler and Logan came to Caroline and Veronica, when both were at extremely vulnerable places in their lives. Logan refused to believe that his mother had committed suicide, and, knowing that Veronica had a knack for private investigation, begged her to help him learn the truth about what really happened to her.
Tyler came to Caroline, upon learning that he was a werewolf, because she seemed to know more about his condition than he did himself. Since Caroline was a Baby Vamp (a fact she later reveals to Tyler) she has some idea what he's going through, and promises to help him cope with his first Full Moon Transformation . . .
Both Caroline and Veronica are there to support Tyler and Logan, when their respective research projects result in them learning some SERIOUSLY BAD NEWS. Logan is forced to come to terms with the fact that his mother has, in fact, committed suicide, and is not merely hiding from her husband, as Logan originally suspected . . .
(Hey, did you catch how Big Sis Trina called Logan's dad, The Big Bad Wolf? Now if that's not a Tyler parallel, I don't know what is!)
For their part, Tyler's and Caroline's research turns up a DVD of a VERY PAINFUL werewolf transformation, as experienced by Tyler's cousin Mason. Tyler realizes to his horror that the awful experience he just witnessed on his computer screen is inevitable for him . . .
On the day of the transformation, Caroline accompanies Tyler to an underground dungeon, and supports him through the whole horrifying ordeal, hugging him, and whispering to him calmly, as he writhes in pain.
Caroline does this, despite the fact that, with every extra second she remains in that dungeon, the amount of danger she is in increases tenfold . . .
When it is all over, Caroline's is the first name Tyler calls . . .
After going through such intense experiences together, it is inevitable that these two pairs will couple. And so, both women are eventually rewarded for supporting their Vulnerable Bad Boys, with Ambush Kisses . . .
"Our First Kiss Won't Be The Last"
When a good girl rescues a bad boy, it is only natural that he rescue her right back. In Veronica's case, Logan beats the crap out of an undercover FBI agent who's sort of / kind of kidnapped her . . .
The incident culminates in Veronica's and Logan's first kiss. She kisses him chastely at first to show her gratitude for the rescue attempt. Logan's return kiss is MUCH more aggressive (and WAY hotter)!
As for Tyler saving Caroline, and kissing her . . . well . . . neither event has actually occurred on the show as of the date of this blog entry. HOWEVER, during the preview for The Vampire Diaries' January 27th episode, entitled "The Descent" we DID see Tyler promising Caroline that he would do ANYTHING for her.
(Brought to you by the F-Yeah Tyler Lockwood Tumblr!)
Later in the same episode (at least, according to that AWESOME promo), Tyler follows through with his promise, by giving Caroline EXACTLY what she needs . . . a big juicy AMBUSH KISS!
Yes, boys and girls. When it comes to Tyler and Caroline, things are DEFINITELY headed in the direction of love . . . or should I say LoVe!
Other Similarities
Aside from having similar beginnings, the parallels between Logan's and Veronica's relationship and Tyler's and Caroline's are simply not to be ignored! Check out the couples' mutual love for "playing dress-up" . . .
. . . and um . . . undress . . .down?
As for Caroline and Veronica, both are VERY feisty! And neither is afraid to kick her boyfriend's ass, when he deserves it . . .
(from TVD gifs)
And I guess . . . on occasion, they also kick the asses of people who aren't their boyfriends . . . at least, when the situation requires it.
Unfortunately, Veronica's and Logan's story is already over . . .
But Caroline's and Tyler's is JUST BEGINNING!
And, while we don't know exactly where Baby Vamp Caroline and Baby Were Tyler will take us in the upcoming TVD seasons, if their predecessors, Veronica and Logan are any indication, we can be sure, that it will be EPIC . . .

Wilmington candy shop owner's adventure stranded in India
Allison Ballard
Wilmington StarNews
Sarah Taravath hates to fly.
She once drove a rental car back from Colorado to avoid a return flight. In 43 years, Taravath has only been on a handful of such in-country visits.
"I feel like I missed out on a lot of opportunities," Taravath said. "Conferences, trips."
So when Taravath had the chance to travel to India, she made sure she was able to go. It took a little bit of pharmaceutical help, but in early March she boarded a non-stop flight to New Delhi and slept most of the way there.
But her two-week trip still didn't go as planned.
For nine days, Taravath traveled and filmed segments that featured the chocolate- and candy-making skills she developed as the owner of Fuzziwig's Candy Factory in Wilmington. Then, with little warning, the country shut down amid COVID-19 restrictions and her flight back to the U.S. was cancelled.
PHOTOS: Fuzziwig's Candy Factory in Wilmington
Her first overseas excursion turned out to be less of a working vacation, and more of a full-immersion adventure.
"There I am, right in the middle," Taravath said. "And I'm stuck."
For the most part, she maintained a positive outlook, as elderly people and those with children received priority for emergency flights back home. The hardest part was being apart from her two children, she said.
But Taravath is someone who is used to making the most of the moment. When her family moved from West Virginia to Wilmington in 2014, she thought it was an ideal time to change careers.
"I worked in biotech. I just didn't want to be stuck in a lab anymore," Taravath said. "I thought, everybody's always happy in a candy store."
More:Multiple closings. Bankruptcy. One Wilmington shopping center has a plan to recover stronger than ever.
When in India for who-knows-how-long, and spending her days with chef Siddharth Talwar and his mother in a suburb near the capital, she became absorbed in the culture. She learned to knit and tie a sari. She helped with laundry. She can ask the price of mangoes in Hindi.
She played lots of cards with Pammi Talwar, who became kind of a surrogate mother, and she spent many, many hours in a real, authentic Indian kitchen.
Talwar learned to make homemade macarons, one of Sid Talwar's specialties, but also watched the hours and preparation that go into authentic Indian dishes with the help of Pammi.
"Anything she was doing, she taught me to do," Taravath said.
She admits the situation could have been awkward, at best. But from the beginning she said she was accepted into their home.
"It never seemed like we were newly acquainted. It was like we all had always known each other," Taravath said.
On to India
In the U.S., Taravath married into an Indian family and she first met Talwar on an online group call. She soon learned that he was a finalist on the fifth season of MasterChef India and that he has his own "Cook with Sid" YouTube channel.
They started having discussions about candy, food and chocolate making, which led to the initial invitation for Taravath to appear in his videos and work with him on a project for the StarPlus channel.
They hadn't even finished filming when the pandemic changed their plans, but it didn't change Taravath's intentions for being there.
"I thought I knew Indian food," she said. "But it's so much more than I ever thought. It's almost like chemistry, or an art."
Take Butter Chicken, for example. This dish, developed in in the 1940s, is relatively new to the Indian repertoire but has since become widely available and globally loved. Taravath is a fan, too.
"But it's completely different there," she said. "It's an all day process."
The chicken for the dish, also called Murg Makhani. is first double marinated overnight, then grilled or roasted in a tandoori before it is enveloped in a "silky, seamless" sauce of butter, tomatoes, almonds, cashews and spices. Then there are the secret ingredients: a sprinkle of toasted and powdered dried fenugreek leaves and a dash of honey.
It sounds simple enough, and many recipes are. Taravath now knows, though, the intricacies of cooking this way.
"It makes a huge difference when you put the tomatoes in and when you put in the different spices," Taravath said. "If you put them in at the wrong time, or in the wrong order, the taste is completely different.
"You can almost cook by smell. That's how you know when to add something or when it's ready."
She and the family ate four meals a day, so Taravath gained weight, right? Instead, she lost 10 pounds.
"I think it's because everything is fresh, and it all takes a lot of time," she said.
And time was aplenty for Taravath, Sid and Pammi.
"In that country, lockdown means locked down," Taravath said.
Travel was always restricted, but more so when there were too many cases of the virus in one location -- as denoted by a required app. Groceries, and in some situations only meal rations, were delivered to homes. Fruit and vegetable vendors were allowed to sell in some neighborhoods.
"It was a huge eye opener," Taravath said. "But I think I came out of it a better person."

It wasn't until July that she was able to begin her return to the States.
"I got a flight to Amsterdam," she said. "I was very lucky to get it, and it cost me $4,000."
Taravath is a part of a Facebook group fittingly called Americans Stuck in India, which currently has 1,600 members, many of whom are still waiting to come home.
"Imagine if a family of three or four had to take the flight I took," she said. "It could cost $20,000."
After a two-week quarantine in Myrtle Beach, Taravath returned to Wilmington in August.
At the candy shop
Taravath opened the only North Carolina location of the Colorado-based Fuzziwig's franchise in 2016. Since then, it has gained a following for the wide selection of bulk candies (at times, there are more than 400 of them), like specialty M&M'S and Jelly Belly jelly beans. It's the kind of thing that makes great themed gift bags and birthday presents. Taravath also sells ice cream, retro treats and cotton candy.
She was able to re-open the shop Labor Day weekend.
"I just wasn't sure how it would be, with the theater closed," she said. "But there were still people strolling around Mayfaire. And they wanted to come into the candy shop. It's always good to see smiling faces."
With business doing better than anticipated, she's returned to making caramel apples and other fall-time treats, and planning Halloween-related specials and her own costume.
"Halloween is my favorite holiday," she said. "We're going to offer a prize bag to anyone who comes in here in costume that whole week."
The prolonged trip to India, though, continues to influence her decisions. She still talks to Pammi Talwar most days and Sid Talwar is hoping to come to Wilmington in November to make handmade macarons, fruit pizza by the slice, and desserts inspired by Indian flavors for the shop. Taravath said she's lucky that Fuzziwig's is a business that allows owners lots of creativity.
Many hours in India were spent brainstorming business plans. She now wants to implement them.
"That's what we did all the time. We talked about ideas," Taravath said. "Now, we are going to reinvent Fuzziwig's."

It is also possible to to use a special type of serialization scheme that will be applied on top of the serialization scheme defined in the previous section. This allows you to perform any kind of transformation to the data provided by the serialization, such as compression / decompression or encryption / decryption.
This design makes it is possible to define a chain of transformations on top of a concrete JPPFSerialization. To this effect, the getDelegate() method provides a reference to the next transformation or serialization in the chain.
The getName() method assigns a unique, case-insensitive name to the defined transformation. If two transformations have the same name, the last one will override the first, which will then be unavailable.
serialization_class_name is the fully qualified class name of a serialization scheme as seen in the previous section.
LZ4Serialization (name "LZ4"): also provides compression and decompression, using the LZ4 library. It is much faster than ZLIB but has a smaller compression rate.
