by Ken Nail An impressive array of features Why replace your factory radio? Most people say they want a receiver that looks great and offers more features. The KDC-BT755HD CD receiver certainly scores big in the looks department, and Kenwood's loaded this receiver with a bunch of features that you'll enjoy: HD Radio™: A built-in tuner lets you enjoy the best sound in free radio, with near CD-quality sound on FM broadcasts. Other HD Radio advantages include the ability to tag tunes for later purchase at the iTunes store, and the access you'll enjoy to the additional programs offered by many stations. Built-in Bluetooth®: This receiver offers hands-free calling and audio streaming, and your phones pair up automatically, thanks to Kenwood's Simple Secure Pairing system. And iPhone users enjoy one-touch pairing when they plug in via USB. Pandora® Internet Radio and iHeart Radio users will appreciate this receiver's excellent built-in controls — connect via USB with your iPhone, or by Bluetooth with your Android, and you can scroll through your stations and give a thumbs-up or thumbs-down right from the receiver's face. iPod® or iPhone® controls: Connect your device to the receiver's front-panel USB input, and you'll blaze through your tracks and playlists. Dedicated "Search" and "Return" keys cut down on the need to work through menus when you're looking for a specific song. Android® controls: If you store your music on an Android device, download Kenwood's free Music Control app and enjoy a variety of search and playback features when your phone is plugged into the front-panel USB. SirusXM-ready: For satellite radio subscribers (or those who plan to be), the KDC-BT755HD works with SiriusXM's outboard tuner (not included), so you can enjoy coast-to-coast reception of your favorite talk, sports, and music programming. Variable button illumination: Choose from a wide selection of colors to match this receiver's buttons to the color of your vehicle's dash illumination. Enjoy your music and shape your sound If you're feeling "old-school," slip in a CD and take full advantage of this receiver's 24-bit digital-to-analog converter. It converts the raw data on your disc, including MP3, WMA, and AAC files, to smooth, lifelike sound. (It'll make a big difference in the music on your iPod or thumb drive, too.) Wimpy bass and treble controls can't compare with this receiver's 3-band parametric equalizer, high- and low-pass filters, and selectable bass boost, along with settings that let you adjust for your car's speaker setup. And this receiver offers three sets of preamp outputs, so you can easily add amps to build a killer audio system in your car. Want to keep your car's steering wheel audio controls? In most vehicles, you can use an adapter (not included) to connect your vehicle's steering wheel controls to this Kenwood stereo. Connect a few wires, then program the adapter for your particular car and this Kenwood, and you'll retain the convenience of your steering wheel controls. Check the "Accessories" tab for compatible adapters. Bluetooth note: Use of this receiver's Bluetooth features will depend upon your phone's Bluetooth capabilities. Learn more in our article explaining Bluetooth profiles. Note: If you're going to use your iPod with this receiver, be sure to check "Details" for specific iPod model compatibility with this receiver.

Broken bluetooth! Written By Anonymous, New York on Saturday, December 27, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I am beside myself. I spent all day installing this in my fiance's CR-V which was a christmas present to her. We are going on a road trip tomorrow and couldn't wait to use this. The bluetooth does not work for anything in this device. Neither my Note 3 Android phone nor her Iphone 4S could read a bluetooth signal to pair the device. I even upgraded all the firmware for the device and still nothing. I'm going to need a replacement unit now. Hopefully Crutchfield can give me the same thing so I don't have to do everything completely over. Cons: It is broken.
Excellent head unit... Written By Ken Morningwood, Maugansville, MD on Sunday, March 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I bought this unit to replace my Sony GT-700HD which died after 2 years. Getting familiar with the controls took a couple of days, but outside of that the unit has delivered top notch performance in every way. The sound quality is really good and is really customizable for the different types of music which I listen to. Being a commuter a good stereo is an absolute must for me and the KDC-BT755HD has delivered. Pros: Excellent sound quality and a plethora of options. Easy to use remote. Multi-color display option is very nice. Cons: Display is hard to read in broad daylight, but that's been an issue for every head unit I've owned.
What A Great Way to Spen an Afternoon. Written By Travers, Newport News. VA on Thursday, March 06, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I am very pleased with the rapid delivery time. The receiver and its installation kit were very easy to install. The instructions were complete. I recommend soldering the harness wires and insulating them with shrink wrap for permanent connections. Overall this can't be beat for the price. Pros: Everything needed is included. The instructions are clear and well illustrated. The sound quality of the receiver is tops. The entire installation and set-up can be completed in 2 hours. Cons: Be careful in placing the order. Be sure to include the installation kit with the receiver order to avoid the UPS shuffle.
Great stereo Written By CarlP, Grenada, MS on Monday, March 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Everything works good. It sounds better than I expected. This one has so many features packed in it. This creates many menus and questions, but this gives my 16 year old son more to learn.
kenwood kdc Written By hooligan332, corinth ms on Monday, March 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This is an awesome unit. I've always been a Kenwood fan. I have the product four stars because of the screen text. You can't get the clock and song title or radio station all on the same screen. It's one or the other. Nothing really that picky it just bothers me. Bummer this CD player was discontinued two days after I bought it but I'm more than satisfied with it. Great service with crutchfield as always Pros: Easy to use Bluetooth works with android Cons: Doesn't show clock on screen unless you select it too.
Kenwood KDC-BT755HD Written By Anonymous, seattle, WA on Sunday, March 02, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great receiver with a lot of features. I was mostly interested in the Bluetooth calling and music but the USB and aux input on the front is cool and the HD radio channels are a plus. The install wasnt that hard other than very little info about my 2012 impreza on the net. Pros: Bluetooth aux USB Pandora app color choice Cons: Changing stations button either seek or manual not both HD radio goes in and out of digital constantly in my neighborhood which is north Seattle urban...probably need better antenna than stock
Referb? Written By BillyP, Durham NC on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 I bought a refurbished unit . I could not get the Bluetooth to work and then the next day the cd player quit. Cons: Bluetooth inop and cd player inop Crutchfield response on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 Upon seeing this review, our tech support team got in touch with the customer. After troubleshooting the stereo, they determined that the problem was indeed a bad unit. We no longer had any of this model in our outlet stock, so we replaced the bad stereo with a brand new one.
Nice unit Written By Dougw246, Granger, IN on Sunday, February 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I have installed 2 of these units, one in each of my kids cars. They work well. The bluetooth integration is very good with the iPhone. The sound quality of the handsfree phone is excellent. Pros: Easy to install Easy to integrate with the iPhone. Terrific handsfree phone quality
KDC-BT755HD Written By Rich S., Cheswick PA on Monday, February 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Blu Tooth works well as do the other features. Made a great improvement in the sound of my factory speakers Pros: Blu tooth HD radio good sound with factory speakers Cons: This unit doesn't fit in 2005 Dodge Dakota trim kit fron Scoshe unless you use the metal din provided by Kenwood. I definately recommend the wire connectors sold by Crutchfield
Kenwood KDC-BT755HD is great !! Written By Walt H (2001 F15 SuperCrew), Broomfield, CO on Saturday, February 08, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Great quality unit. In my opinion the sound is excellent. I upgraded the factory speakers and replaced the head unit and am very pleased with the results. The install was fairly easy and instructions were perfect. The install looks professional and I would definitely buy from Crutchfield again. This receiver had a ton of features and I really like the HD radio. The other nice thing about this receiver is the Bluetooth for older vehicles. My wife said my Bluetooth phone call was clearer from the Kenwood than from my new 2013 Ford vehicle with Sync. Pros: I like the option of having a CD player even though it is becoming obsolete technology. I still have several hundred CD's and you never know when you might want to use one. The power is very impressive and sound is excellent from the Bluetooth (Music and Phone). The HD radio is awesome and allows access to stations I could not access before. I am very happy with my purchase. A great product, with lots of features, and at a reasonable price. Cons: The only nit picky thing that I noticed is that you cannot adjust the color of the text. It surprised me that this was not available with everything else this receiver offers. It has cool selectable colors for the surrounding buttons but not for the text on the screen. That said the text is crisp in all lighting conditions and is still very sensible looking.
Excellent upgrade! Written By Justo A, Caguas, PR on Saturday, February 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This was an upgrade from a Kdc-mp242 which I used to love. I bought it because of the bluetooth and HD radio and it works flawlessly. Easy to use and the color options of the faceplate are an added bonus. Excellent hd and FM reception. I still have to try AM radio but the sound quality improved in other areas so I know I will not be dissapointed. Excellent product fron Kenwood. Pros: Hd reception Bluetooth microphone reception Color changing faceplate to match gauges Cons: None
Good Music Source Written By PaulG, Clayton, CA on Sunday, January 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Good sound and signal retrieval. Setting up Bluetooth was quite easy. Installation was a breeze. Pros: Ease of installation. Cons: Instruction handbook not well written.
Great affordable deck Written By Mark, Spokane, WA on Friday, January 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This is a solid deck that will play music right off of your iPhone or iPod through the USB cable. Navigating is fairly intuitive, but a run through the manual is advisable. Side note: Crutchfield sends excellent instructions with the unit, and perfectly fitting electrical and trim adaptors. I had a bit of unique situation, and the tech support at Crutchfield answered the question immediately with the correct answer. They were excellent--not something you find in tech support so much. Pros: Quality looks, sounds and feels good. Crutchfield has excellent tech support if you're installing yourself. iPod/iPhone compatible. Cons: None--all seems to be good.
Kenwood KDC-BT755HD Written By FritoDCat, Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio on Monday, December 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Bought Kenwood KDC-BT755HD, matching front KFC-1064S speakers and rear KFC-1664S speakers for my sons 1999 Chevy Malibu for Christmas. Really impressed with ease of installation and sound quality was a lot better than stock system. Son was really impressed with unit and I got a great buy on unit. Spent just about the same as what another retailer wanted for a Pioneer of lesser quality unit that was on sale there. Pros: I Phone compatible, good sound and easy installation Cons: Hard to see screen in sun light
I did it myself. Written By almost 70 years old., Santa Cruz, CA on Saturday, December 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value I installed it my self. Very satisfying. Good clear instructions. When I Called the help line I found that I had installed it correctly. Phone service was quick and clear. Keep your order number, you will need it if you call for help. I haven't set up the blue tooth yet. I am not a technical person. Pros: Clear instructions. The phone was answered quickly. Cons: An old guy like me took all afternoon to install it. Not 30 minutes like the pros' Operating instructions were difficult for me, but an 8 year old grandchild could probably figure it out.
Myriad of features and capabilities Written By Ckreuton, Arizona on Thursday, December 26, 2013 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value This radio is pretty darn excellent, I have to say. The HD radio is one of the great features it has. It must have way better internal circuitry than I thought possible because it picks up stations crystal clear that I previously never even got fuzz from before installing this(meaning stations that aren't HD specific, just normal stations). The HD stations that it picks us are also pretty awesome sounding, with great clear sound and clarity. Another awesome feature is the USB flash drive playability. I got one of those mini can't-see-it flash drives for the radio and created some playlist folders containing mp3's, AAC's, WAV's and other types of files. First of all, navigation between folders is a breeze, but also, it plays all the kinds of files really well without any stuttering or delay or anything annoying like those. I have yet to try the Kenwood control app for Android, and haven't tried the Pandora/iHeartRadio/Aha interactivity, but I've heard from my friend who has another bluetooth kenwood unit(the same model that doesn't have bluetooth, basically) has said great things about the interactivity, so I'll take his word for it. The weird thing I have yet to figure out about the bluteooth functionality is that I can't get bluetooth music streaming to play out of my subwoofer.. the sub line-level out is what send signal to my sub amp, yet only in bluetooth streaming mode does it not play through the sub, so I'll have to research it. I'm outta text space! hopethishelped! Pros: High sound quality, great features, Crutchfield provided every single thing needed to install, cool colors, good EQ adjustability, 3 channel RCA outs(front, rear, sub), comes with decent bluetooth microphone, nice text display Cons: bluetooth streaming won't play out of subwoofer(yet)
Excellent value Written By GarryC, Pittsburgh PA on Sunday, December 22, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Sound Quality Value Solid unit and an upgrade of features for my 02 Mini Cooper. Thanks to Crutchfields wiring harness and tech support (called about the switched power connection option which I did not need) the install was pretty smooth. I installed this unit with the Axxess ASWC-1 Steering Wheel Control Interface. All works together flawlessly. As previously stated in another review, adjust the bluetooth audio settings set the audio to all speakers otherwise you may wonder why there is no punch or volume to your tunes! For Mini Cooper owners, take the time to remove the dash cover (2 side panels and 4 screws) so that the remote microphone cable can be routed across the dash and tucked into the door seal. If you are going to mount a GPS mount use this opportunity to screw the mount into the dash. Pros: Easy addition to add BT audio, handsfree and HD Radio Cons: Just replaced with a newer model. BT audio adjustment should have not been necessary and was initially confusing.

One of this season's sartorial stars, the Vanessa Jacket is as versatile as it is eye-catching. A multi-toned zig-zag chevron tweed delivers serious graphic impact to the classic silhouette.

For a bold, textural take on the classic ladylike suit, pair this style with its matching skirt — it's a never-fail look that's equally chic for the office or a special occasion.

Love this jacket! TTS. Especially lovely under lights that pick up the jewel embellishments. The mixture of colors is fantastic and adds to it's versatility. I bought the matching skirt and it's a great event suit. However, the jacket by itself is brilliant with more casual apparel - really adds polish and glamour to otherwise flat items such as denim.

This jacket is very unique ... the leather is super soft and flexible. Top quality and leaves nothing to spare. I purchased the matching skirt also, but will not hesitate to wear them as separate pieces. This jacket is a must have for the fashion forward modern woman.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Zaneta Stunning
Love this jacket, it has a great mix of colours and textures so makes it a very versatile jacket. Can be worn out in the evening with a dress or during the day with trousers. The embellished neckline and waist add so many interesting dimensions. I bought a size 0 and it fits perfectly, I usually wear a size XS and can vary between a 0 and 2 (US) and a size 6 (UK).

Allison has fond memories of Daytona 500
But the memories of Daytona that Allison treasures most don't come from the 1979 backstretch brawl with Cale Yarborough.
And, of course, there's the Daytona 500 Allison doesn't remember at all. In 1988, he and son Davey Allison finished 1-2 in the Great American Race. But a horrific crash at Pocono in June of that year critically injured Allison, ended his career and wiped out all memory of the historic run with Davey.
The ruckus in 1979 is a different matter. Allison remembers that race as if it were yesterday. Brother Donnie Allison and Cale Yarborough wrecked each other on the final lap, battling for the win, Bobby stopped his car on the infield grass, climbed from the car and defended his brother's honor with his fists.
The sanctioning body nevertheless made the drivers pay the price for behaving badly.
Donnie Allison and Yarborough, who finished fourth and fifth, respectively, earned enough money to cover the fine, and NASCAR withheld $6,000 each from the purse for those two drivers. Bobby Allison wasn't so fortunate. His prize money, exclusive of contingencies, wasn't enough to cover the fine.
"So then we were good boys for a few weeks, and NASCAR refunded the prize money withheld. They've still got my $2,000."
In all seriousness, though, his love for Daytona remains undiminished. Allison was the last driver to sweep both NASCAR Sprint Cup races at the 2.5-mile superspeedway before Jimmie Johnson added his name to the elite list last Saturday.

But it appears Pentax may have added it as a side benefit of buying the new K-30. After all, it resists sun, sand, rain, dust, dirt and wind. Plus, it's rated cold-proof all the way down to 14 degrees Fahrenheit. Just what locations would you shoot where this camera would be out of its element? Not many, I'm sure. Indeed, the Pentax K-30 is the feisty wolverine of cameras: solid, smart, and seemingly indestructible. Little brother of an acknowledged "tough guy" The K-30 borrows a lot of its attractive features from its acclaimed brother, the Pentax K-5. Superb image quality. Quick response and continuous shooting. And, of course, the aforementioned weather resistance. But there are some differences, too. The K-30 is a tiny bit smaller overall, and it's lighter as well. It shoots HD video at a convenient 1080/30 progressive frames per second resolution, with robust H.264 compression. This means your videos will be vivid and and clear, with the kind of image quality you'd expect from broadcast sources. And with the K-30's outstanding low-light performance, you'll see colorful, low-noise images even when you're shooting outdoors at dusk. Its goal? To get out of your way Because this camera is such a hard worker in tough conditions, it's a comfort to know that it's got a low-profile optical viewfinder that features a 100% field-of-view. This means faster, more reliable composition when you're under the gun. Programmable front and rear e-dials enable the camera to be set up as you desire, for quick, no-look manual and program-assisted settings adjustment. Everything has been thought through, to provide you with a camera that will truly function as an extension of your eyesight. You'll be thinking about the image, not the controls. Power trip The K-30 features an interesting option: with an additional adapter (not included), it can host 4 "AA" batteries instead of the included Li-On rechargeable battery. This means you won't be caught short if you run out of juice close to almost any store. A lens as tough as the camera This version of the K-30 comes with Pentax's rugged DA 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 AL WR lens. In addition to handling your everyday photo opportunities like a champ, it features a weather-resistance similar to the camera itself, making it a perfect companion for your camera on your next adventure. Bring it on With the Pentax K-30, you'll have the confidence to take on almost any assignment. The Amazon backcountry? You're there. The national team ski jump trials? You're ready for the ice and slush. Desert dune buggy races? Child's play. It's good to be fearless.

Because of their build quality and the physics of good glass and large sensors, even their built-in automatic settings will get you better pictures than most point-and-shoots or mobile devices. But experienced photographers and budding hobbyists can get more creative by manually adjusting settings like aperture and shutter speed. SLRs let you expand your shooting options with additional lenses and flashes to suit just about any situation. If you'd like to record the occasional video, look for a model with high-def movie mode.
Great camera Written By Jay H, Savannah, GA on Thursday, May 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Ease of Use Features Picture Quality Value This is a great camera within its price bracket. It does so many things well and does nothing wrong. The out-of-camera jpegs are excellent with a little tweaking. The default images are a little soft and lack contrast, but a simple adjustment makes them excellent. The sensor produces low noise when using high iso. The rugged, weather-proof body also removes fear from taking an expensive camera out on outdoor expeditions. The supplied kit lens is a competent performer, but it has some weaknesses. The corner performance is expected from a kit zoom, but it is perfectly acceptable. Overall, this is a great camera and matches up very favorably against its price competitors. The other big makers (C and N) don't offer this many features at this price. I highly recommend this camera. Pros: Weather sealing. Good out-of-camera jpegs with a little tweaking. Low noise when using high iso. Kit lens is very good for a kit lens, and has the added bonus of also being weather sealed. Lots of settings to fine tune your picture preferences. In-body image stabilization is very effective. Camera feels great in your hand. Large, 100% pentaprism viewfinder. Live view focus is decently fast and accurate. Better than earlier versions of this technology. Cons: The kit lens is a kit lens (so don't expect it to be a $500+ prime). Video performance isn't all that great, but I didn't buy the camera for video, Default image settings need more sharpening, so be sure to adjust to your liking. Even with firmware updates, the camera still locks up on rare occasions and requires battery removal.

Well, we've almost made it to Friday, but not quite. How's your stress level?
Learning to manage stress may be just as important to overall health as diet, exercise, sleep and hygiene. At a recent Stress Management Forum hosted by Harvard School of Public Health & Huffington Post, clinicians, psychologists and mindfulness experts cited research showing chronic stress may contribute to heart disease, hypertension, anxiety and depression.
That's alarming since a recent Health in America survey found 72 percent of Americans believe their stress has increased or remained the same over the past five years, and the average American experiences more stress than they believe to be healthy.
Here's the good news: We can learn to manage stress.
When you feel anxious, nervous, strained or stressed, try this breathing exercise from Lilian Cheung, Doctor of Science, registered dietician and mindfulness expert with the Harvard School of Public Health.
Breathing in, silently repeat to yourself: I'm fully aware of my in-breath.
Breathing out, silently repeat to yourself: I'm fully aware of my out-breath.
Repeat in- and out-breaths five times.
In just moments, you will feel greater freedom accompanied by increased stability.
"Each time we choose to take mindful breaths instead of traveling through a self-perpetuating cycle of stress, we enforce new, healthy habits," she says. "We are creatures of routine, and whether or not we're aware of them, we create and reinforce patterns each moment. Better to choose habits of stress reduction than be led blind by coping mechanisms like sugar cravings and television addictions."
Check out more tips from Cheung to alleviate stress on Huffington Post.
And if the breathing doesn't work (or even if it does), stay tuned to Wellbody Blog for a healthy homemade popcorn recipe. Popcorn! A sure way to inspire your inner smile!
What helps you relieve stress? Share your de-stress tips by commenting on Wellbody Blog, Facebook, or by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com. You'll be entered for a giveaway of two free passes to Wellbody Academy and Pacific Science Center's other exhibits.

Kawasaki goes all-in: the 200+bhp 2011 Ninja ZX-10R
Kawasaki has stamped its foot; Team Green is sick of playing catch-up in World Superbikes, it will no longer be content to languish at the back of the field. But defeating the monstrous Aprilia RSV4 and the ominous BMW S1000RR is going to require a motorcycle leagues ahead of what Kawasaki has been rolling out in 2010. Behold, motorcycle fans, the new king of the castle. Ripping out a terrifying 210 horsepower and weighing just 198kg full of fuel and fluids, the 2011 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-10R leap-frogs to the front of the power and power-to-weight charts. But it's not just muscles that make this bike so special, it sports a completely redesigned chassis aimed at improving handling and racetrack lap times – and a traction control/ABS setup that ditches all notions that such systems are for safety. On the new Ninja, the intelligent electronics are all focused on making you faster than ever before on the road or track. Wouldn't it be an amazing turnaround if this machine could catapult Kawasaki back into World Superbike contention? Either way, this is one of the most exciting bikes we've seen in lime green for a lot of years, and it's a signal to the other Japanese manufacturers that near enough is no longer good enough.

CROWDS in Rugby will be flocking to see the Olympic torch when it arrives on their doorstep on Monday July 2.
The route the flame will be carried along through Rugby was announced last week, with the torch convoy set to pass through the town centre and Dunchurch as part of the build up to this summer's Olympic Games in London.
Support vehicles, press vans and sponsors' trucks will arrive at around 8.20am at the Cemex plant on Lawford Road. They will lead the convoy ahead of the torchbearers, each of whom will carry the flame around 300 metres.
The route will bring the torch up Lawford Road to Corporation Street before passing the town hall and the clock tower.
It will then be carried along Church Street, Whitehall Road, Hillmorton Road and Horton Crescent before pausing on The Close at Rugby School.
At around 9.25am it will leave Rugby School, passing the Webb Ellis statue, and be carried along Dunchurch Road as far as Harris School, where the torch will rejoin its convoy.
It will then be carried by vehicle to the outskirts of Dunchurch where torchbearers will again carry the flame through the village centre.
The flame will leave the borough along Coventry Road, rejoining its convoy near Adkinson Avenue.
Culture spokeswoman for Rugby, Coun Heather Timms, said: "Rugby plays an important part in the Olympic story and it's fitting the torch will come here. Pierre de Coubertin wrote of the inspiration given him by the legendary (Rugby School) headmaster Thomas Arnold, and his love for Rugby football led to its inclusion in the modern Olympics until after his death in 1937.
"Dunchurch is also significant in the history of our country, being the rendezvous point for the failed gunpowder plotters, and will provide a picturesque location to see the torch pass by.
"The torch relay will inevitably cause some disruption, but we hope everyone will come out and line the streets.
"This is Rugby's opportunity to shine. As an opening to this year's Rugby Festival of Culture, it really couldn't be better."
Head of culture for Rugby Borough Council, Anna Rose, said: "The visit of the torch will be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be involved in the Olympics, and we will be doing everything we can to encourage schools and businesses in the borough to allow their staff and pupils to come and see it.
"Although the names of the torchbearers who will be carrying the flame through Rugby and Dunchurch have not yet been announced, we do know their stories are inspiring and it would be great if the whole of the borough came out to support them."
Schools, businesses and residents along the route can find ideas for how they can welcome the torch at www.rugby.gov.uk/london2012 and they can also sign up to receive more information as it becomes available.

Verlander, Tigers looking to break out brooms
Royals counter with veteran Chen in finale before All-Star break
The Tigers have a chance to close out the first half with a four-game sweep of the Royals on Sunday at Kauffman Stadium. If they get it, they'll have dealt a severe blow to the division title hopes of the second-place Royals, who enter the series finale 7 1/2 games back in the American League Central standings.
Tigers starter Justin Verlander will attempt to end a disappointing first half on a positive note. Even though Verlander is just 8-7 this season with an uncharacteristically high 4.84 ERA, he hasn't lost since June 16 -- against Kansas City.
In his last start, Verlander allowed five runs to the Dodgers in the first inning before bouncing back nicely. In the next five innings, he was a completely different pitcher, keeping Los Angeles off the scoreboard from that point on in earning the win.
Keeping the Royals at bay early will be important for Verlander, who has struggled to get out of first innings unscathed this year. Seven times this season, opponents have touched him up for at least a run in the first.
"The first innings have been a little bit of an issue," Verlander said.
Verlander will be opposed by veteran Royals lefty Bruce Chen, who hasn't had much work since coming off the disabled list on June 24. Since then, he's pitched just six innings in two relief appearances.
Because of the minimal workload, there could be some rust when Chen makes his first start since April 24 on Sunday.
"Obviously, you're not as sharp as you could be, but I try not to put that in my mind because I have to do my job," Chen said.
Chen began the season in the Royals' rotation, but he was sidelined by a bulging disc in his back for two months. Fatigue could also be a problem for Chen, with a forecasted high of 90 degrees for Sunday, though he said he'll be fine in the heat.
"Ninety degrees doesn't bother me as much as 98 or 100," Chen said. "I'd rather pitch when its hot than when it's cold. ... I think it can be a good thing. The last thing you want is to not be loose."
Tigers: V-Mart ruled out for finale
Detroit has played a vast majority of the past two weeks without Victor Martinez, and it'll have to be without him again for the finale of the first half on Sunday against Kansas City.
Tigers manager Brad Ausmus ruled out the slugger, who is dealing with soreness in his right side. J.D. Martinez, who hit .328 in the first half entering Saturday's game, has made Victor Martinez's absence a bit more tolerable.
Detroit's two largest scoring outputs -- 14 runs on Tuesday against the Dodgers, then 16 runs on Thursday against the Royals -- came with Victor Martinez on the bench.
Royals: Cain's legs a concern
There's been no decision about whether Lorenzo Cain will be in the Royals' outfield on Sunday. He started Saturday night's game despite some concern over the condition of his legs.
Cain was slowed down on Friday night to the extent that manager Ned Yost moved him from center field to right after three innings.
"Everybody's worn down and beat up this time of year," Yost said. "His legs were just worn out. He couldn't get his legs loose. You can tell when he was running in the outfield."
Cain has had leg injury issues before, notably in 2012, and since then the Royals have watched him closely, while occasionally giving him days off.
"The trainers are on top of him," Yost said. "He was giving it all he had, his legs just weren't [good]."
Left fielder Alex Gordon has been out of the starting lineup because of a sprained wrist.
Worth noting
• The Tigers' 28-15 record on the road leads the Majors.
• Billy Butler has a .434 batting average with five doubles, two homers, nine walks and 14 RBIs against Verlander. Salvador Perez is batting .467 against him.

So are these the result of you recommitting to your bulk ferment time and lifting the pie a lot like you mentioned recently or was there more to this batch?
Thank goodness that Craig isn't some California guy with a prescription to medical relief, and he has time to answer questions without considering them a jab at his preferred method.
Craig, this is your best so far! It looks really soft and tender. The leoparding is top notch! Is this 60% HD as well?
I would imagine the bake time to be a bit faster than your previous pies, maybe below 50 secs for the Marg? It looks really good.
Those look excellent, well done!
They look fantastic Craig. Are you slicing your pepperoni on a mandolin or food processor?
One of my best pies so far.

With more than a year left in the fading Bush presidency, Karl Rove's worst days in the White House may still lie ahead of him. I met Rove on one of his best days, a week after Bush's reelection. The occasion was a reporters' lunch hosted by The Christian Science Monitor at the St. Regis Hotel in Washington, a customary stop for the winning and losing campaign teams to offer battle assessments and answer questions. Kerry's team had glumly passed through a few days earlier. Afterward his chief strategist, Bob Shrum, boarded a plane and left the country. Rove had endured a heart-stopping Election Day (early exit polls indicated a Kerry landslide) but had prevailed, and plainly wasn't hurrying off anywhere. "The Architect," as Bush had just dubbed him, had spent the week collecting praise and had now arrived—vindicated, secure of his place in history—to hold court before the political press corps.
"The World According to Rove"
Atlantic senior editor Joshua Green discusses Karl Rove's political fantasies and fatal mistakes.
When Rove entered the room, everyone stood up to congratulate him and shake his hand. Washington journalism has become a kind of Cult of the Consultant, so the energy in the room was a lot like it might have been if Mickey Mantle had come striding into the clubhouse after knocking in the game-winning run in the World Series. Rove was pumped.
Before taking questions, he removed a folded piece of paper from his pocket and rattled off a series of numbers that made clear how he wanted the election to be seen: not as a squeaker but a rout. "This was an extraordinary election," Rove said. "[Bush won] 59.7 million votes, and we still have about 250,000 ballots to count. Think about that—nearly 60 million votes! The previous largest number was Ronald Reagan in 1984, sweeping the country with 49 states. We won 81 percent of all the counties in America. We gained a percentage of the vote in 87 percent of the counties in America. In Florida, we received nearly a million votes more in this election than in the last one." Rove was officially there to talk about the campaign, but it was clear he had something much bigger in mind. So no one missed his point, he invoked Franklin Roosevelt's supremacy in the 1930s and suggested that something similar was at hand: "We've laid out an agenda, we've laid out a vision, and now people want to see results."
One of the goals of any ambitious president is to create a governing coalition just as Roosevelt did, one that long outlasts your presidency. It's the biggest thing you can aim for, and only a few presidents have achieved it. As the person with the long-term vision in the Bush administration, and with no lack of ambition either, Rove had thought long and hard about achieving this goal before ever arriving in the White House, and he has pursued it more aggressively than anyone else.
Rove has always cast himself not merely as a campaign manager but as someone with a mind for policy and for history's deeper currents—as someone, in other words, with the wherewithal not just to exploit the political landscape but to reshape it. At the Christian Science Monitor lunch, he appeared poised to do just that. It was already clear that Social Security privatization, a longtime Rove enthusiasm, was the first thing Bush would pursue in his second term. When things are going well for Rove, he adopts a towel-snapping jocularity. He looked supremely sure of his prospects for success.
But within a year the administration was crumbling. Social Security had gone nowhere. Hurricane Katrina, the worsening war in Iraq, and the disastrous nomination of Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court shattered the illusion of stern competence that had helped reelect Bush. What surprised everybody was how suddenly it happened; for a while, many devotees of the Cult of Rove seemed not to accept that it had. As recently as last fall, serious journalists were churning out soaring encomiums to Rove and his methods with titles like One Party Country and The Way to Win. In retrospect, everyone should have been focusing less on how those methods were used to win elections and more on why they couldn't deliver once the elections were over.
The story of why an ambitious Republican president working with a Republican Congress failed to achieve most of what he set out to do finds Rove at center stage. A big paradox of Bush's presidency is that Rove, who had maybe the best purely political mind in a generation and almost limitless opportunities to apply it from the very outset, managed to steer the administration toward disaster.
Years from now, when the major figures in the Bush administration publish their memoirs, historians may have a clearer idea of what went wrong than we do today. As an exercise in not waiting that long, I spent several months reading the early memoirs and talking to people inside and outside the administration (granting anonymity as necessary), in Congress, and in lobbying and political- consulting firms that dealt directly with Rove in the White House. (Rove declined requests for an interview.) The idea was to look at the Bush years and make a first pass at explaining the consequential figure in the vortex—to answer the question, How should history understand Karl Rove, and with him, this administration?
Fifty years ago, political scientists developed what is known as realignment theory—the idea that a handful of elections in the nation's history mattered more than the others because they created "sharp and durable" changes in the polity that lasted for decades. Roosevelt's election in 1932, which brought on the New Deal and three decades of Democratic dominance in Washington, is often held up as the classic example. Modern American historians generally see five elections as realigning: 1800, when Thomas Jefferson's victory all but finished off the Federalist Party and reoriented power from the North to the agrarian South; 1828, when Andrew Jackson's victory gave rise to the modern two-party system and two decades of Jacksonian influence; 1860, when Abraham Lincoln's election marked the ascendance of the Republican Party and of the secessionist impulse that led to the Civil War; 1896, when the effects of industrialization affirmed an increasingly urban political order that brought William McKinley to power; and Roosevelt's election in 1932, during the Great Depression.
Academics debate many aspects of this theory, such as whether realignment comes in regular cycles, and whether it is driven by voter intensity or disillusionment. But historians have shown that two major preconditions typically must be in place for realignment to occur. First, party loyalty must be sufficiently weak to allow for a major shift—the electorate, as the political scientist Paul Allen Beck has put it, must be "ripe for realignment." The other condition is that the nation must undergo some sort of triggering event, often what Beck calls a "societal trauma"—the ravaging depressions of the 1890s and 1930s, for instance, or the North-South conflict of the 1850s and '60s that ended in civil war. It's important to have both. Depressions and wars throughout American history have had no realigning consequence because the electorate wasn't primed for one, just as periods of electoral unrest have passed without a realignment for lack of a catalyzing event.
Before he ever came to the White House, Rove fervently believed that the country was on the verge of another great shift. His faith derived from his reading of the presidency of a man most historians regard as a mediocrity. Anyone on the campaign trail in 2000 probably heard him cite the pivotal importance of William McKinley's election in 1896. Rove thought there were important similarities.
"Everything you know about William McKinley and Mark Hanna"—McKinley's Rove—"is wrong," he told Nicholas Lemann of The New Yorker in early 2000. "The country was in a period of change. McKinley's the guy who figured it out. Politics were changing. The economy was changing. We're at the same point now: weak allegiances to parties, a rising new economy." Rove was suggesting that the electorate in 2000, as in 1896, was ripe for realignment, and implying, somewhat immodestly, that he was the guy who had figured it out. What was missing was an obvious trigger. With the economy soaring (the stock-market collapse in the spring of 2000 was still months away) and the nation at peace, there was no reason to expect that a realignment was about to happen.
Instead, Rove's idea was to use the levers of government to create an effect that ordinarily occurs only in the most tumultuous periods in American history. He believed he could force a realignment himself through a series of far-reaching policies. Rove's plan had five major components: establish education standards, pass a "faith-based initiative" directing government funds to religious organizations, partially privatize Social Security, offer private health-savings accounts as an alternative to Medicare, and reform immigration laws to appeal to the growing Hispanic population. Each of these, if enacted, would weaken the Democratic Party by drawing some of its core supporters into the Republican column. His plan would lead, he believed, to a period of Republican dominance like the one that followed McKinley's election.
Rove's vision had a certain abstract conceptual logic to it, much like the administration's plan to spread democracy by force in the Middle East. If you could invade and pacify Iraq and Afghanistan, the thinking went, democracy would spread across the region. Likewise, if you could recast major government programs to make them more susceptible to market forces, broader support for the Republican Party would ensue. But in both cases the visionaries ignored the enormous difficulty of carrying off such seismic changes.
The Middle East failure is all too well-known—the vaulting ambition coupled with the utter inability of top administration figures to bring about their grand idea. What is less appreciated is how Rove set out to do something every bit as audacious with domestic policy. Earlier political realignments resulted from historical accidents or anomalies, conditions that were recognized and exploited after the fact by talented politicians. Nobody ever planned one. Rove didn't wait for history to happen to him—he tried to create it on his own. "It's hard to think of any analogue in American history," says David Mayhew, a Yale political scientist who has written a book on electoral realignments, "to what Karl Rove was trying to do."
Rove's style as a campaign consultant was to plot out well in advance of a race exactly what he would do and to stick with it no matter what. But he arrived in the White House carrying ambitions at striking variance with those of a president whose stated aims were modest and who had lost the popular vote. The prevailing view of Bush at the time seems impossibly remote today. But the notion that he wanted nothing more than "to do a few things, and do them well," as he claimed, seemed sensible enough. Nothing suggested that radical change was possible, much less likely, and the narrow margins in Congress meant that any controversial measure would require nearly flawless execution to prevail.
And yet at first it appeared that Bush might be capable of achieving big things. His first initiative, the No Child Left Behind Act, unfolded as a model of how to operate in a narrowly divided environment. Bush had made education a central theme of his campaign, an unlikely choice given that the issue strongly favors Democrats. Accountability standards had been one of his signature accomplishments as governor of Texas, and he made a persuasive pitch for them on the campaign trail. Rove likes to point out that people who named education as their top issue voted for the Democrat over the Republican 76–16 percent in the 1996 presidential election, but just 52–44 in 2000. His point is that Bush moved the electorate.
As the top political adviser in the White House, Rove orchestrated the rollout of Bush's legislative agenda. In December, even before the inauguration, he put together a conference in Austin that included key Democrats who went on to support the education bills that sailed through Congress and became the first piece of Rove's realignment. At the time, everybody assumed this was how Bush would operate—"as a uniter, not a divider," his method in Texas, where he left behind a permanent-seeming Republican majority.
It's not clear why Bush abandoned the moderate style that worked with No Child Left Behind. One of the big what-ifs of his presidency is how things might have turned out had he stuck with it (education remains the one element of Rove's realignment project that was successfully enacted). What did become clear is that Rove's tendency, like Bush's, is always to choose the most ambitious option in a list and then pursue it by the most aggressive means possible—an approach that generally works better in campaigns than in governing. Instead of modest bipartisanship, the administration's preferred style of governing became something much closer to the way Rove runs campaigns: Steamroll the opposition whenever possible, and reach across the aisle only in the rare cases, like No Child Left Behind, when it is absolutely necessary. The large tax cut that Bush pursued and won on an almost party-line vote just afterward is a model of this confrontational style. Its limitations would become apparent.
By late summer of his first year, the early burst of achievement had slowed and Bush's approval ratings were beginning to sag. Ronald Brownstein of TheLos Angeles Times dubbed him the "A4 president," unable even to make the front page of the newspaper. He did not seem the likely leader of a realignment.

The Value of Baseball Ownership
The Value of Baseball Ownership. I was thinking. After reading what MLB Commissioner Bud Selig has done for The Los Angeles Dodgers – Thank you Mr. Commissioner. Let's talk about Dodgertown USA. What if the owners of The Dodgers would be: The City of Los Angeles – one third; the fans who build this team – one third; and the team members – one third. I know this is a bold, progressive statement, but, stop and think about it for one minute.
Ever since the O'Malleys left and Jaime and Frank McCourt took over and, now, considering the all of the terrible events that have happened, The LA Dodgers are mired in one of the darkest periods of their history. Sadly the unspeakable and disgusting Bryan Stow incident was the last straw. The McCourts' behaviors, ridiculous divorce proceedings, quest for greed and a lust for more luxury homes has decimated the city's morale, the fans and the team.
But, I digress. More importantly, what if a small board represented each of the parties and instead of one mastermind or out of control owner controlling these teams, the actual parties who "make" these teams would have a say in their destiny. I strongly feel this would motivate players and the fans (the new investors) in a way so that the Dodgers would be seen like that of a group enterprise. And thusly, as the team plays/wins more, so does their value increase. Right now The Dodgers value would be seen as low, in the rebuilding stage and so on the way to an emerging market.
The Dodgers and the Dodger Fans have been seen as a commodity. I don't see these great players and fans as instrument to just use. Currently, that is what the McCourts see/use them as. Why do you think the McCourts were slow to react on the Bryan Stow incident and felt they had enough security; not until the public outcry from fans and John and Ken on KFI 640 stepped in did we hear from the owners. The McCourts have been checked out; their lifestyle, their divorce has left them that way. They need to step down. The players and the fans are human beings and have value. It's time for them to have a say in their future.
The Dodgers are a team of people, the fans are a team, the City is a team; there are three teams involved in the success of this endeavor called The Los Angeles Dodgers. It is quite a paradigm shift and one, I imagine, that would be met with resistance. After all, we are talking about many strong personalities and ego driven mentalities.
What if these parties run it, pay for it, develop it and make baseball not only fun again but an enjoyable, spiritual and an exciting event for all of us. It's a game – it's a great game - to have fun and share fellowship. It's an American past-time, a family affair to share, to teach kids the importance of fair play, abilities, respect and acknowledgement of skills, commitment and hard work. Did I say kids? It teaches us all, especially in times like these. It's an important part of Americana.
I was thinking: would this be a good idea for other baseball teams and other team sports?
How about this, just a thought, bring Pete Rose back into baseball right here in Los Angeles as the manager of the Dodgers. He's not far away, he lives in the Valley. It's a short drive. What do you think LA?

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Posted: 12/20/2013 11:45 AM | Comments: 0
Last Modified: 12/20/2013 11:32 PM | Updates
With all due respect to the spirit of Christmas — the giving, the receiving and all that good cheer — the Winnipeg Jets entered their last home game before the holiday with one main thought in mind:
'Tis the season to be ornery.
A spirited Jets squad, perhaps fearful of watching their playoff dream all but fade before the turn of the calendar, served up a dandy in a 5-2 win over the Florida Panthers tonight in front of a festive full house at the MTS Centre.
The result brought the Jets back to .500 at 16-16-5, but also ended a six-game (0-3-3) home dry spell that had stretched back to a shootout win over the Philadelphia Flyers Nov. 15.
"Our group was kinda chomping at the bit to get going," said Jets winger Blake Wheeler. "Any time you have a tough game like we did in Buffalo (a 4-2 loss on Tuesday) and you take a couple days to stew over it... sometimes you're almost foaming at the mouth to get back out there. Our group was ready and excited to play tonight and have the opportunity to get the bad taste out of our mouth."
"It's unacceptable, this losing at home," added goaltender Ondrej Pavelec. "It's great for the fans that we won tonight. But we go the road now with two more games before Christmas (Sunday in Vancouver, Monday in Edmonton) and we need every game."
The Panthers rolled into Winnipeg — albeit with a 3 a.m. arrival — following Thursday night's win over Ottawa, their fifth straight that also included victories over Montreal and Toronto. The win in our capital had the organization beaming — it was their longest win streak since March of 2012 — prompting this friendly jab courtesy the team's Twitter account:
'#FlaPanthers fans doing some cleaning this AM may want to leave the brooms out to cheer on the Cats tonight as they try to sweep Canada 4-0!'
But while the Panthers opened the scoring — an against-the-flow marker by Shawn Matthias after a turnover by Dustin Byfuglien — the Jets held period leads of 3-1 and 5-2 and the turnaround was sparked by the power play, which scored twice 33 seconds apart to give the home side a two-goal cushion.
"That's how it's supposed to be," said Toby Enstrom. "We got a couple power plays at the beginning and scored some goals. It put us ahead in the game and it's important for us."
Winnipeg's work with the man advantage has been dramatic in the six games with seven power-play markers to pull them out of 30th overall in the NHL.
One of the positive sidebars to tonight's win was the solid work by goaltender Ondrej Pavelec — and it's a one-game trend the Jets need to turn into many, many more. Winless in his five previous starts (0-4-1) with an icky .850 save percentage, he got a huge public pat on the back from Claude Noel before the game, who made it clear Pavelec was their No. 1 puck-stopper, even with the solid work of Al Montoya, especially in the last few weeks.
"I wanted to win tonight just like everybody else," said Pavelec, who stopped 21 of the 23 shots he faced and got a couple of breaks with shots clanging off goalposts. "I don't know how many points they hit the posts this year... it's been good. Today, two posts or three... the bounces were on my side. We needed a little bit of luck to win the game."
The Jets activated workhorse defenceman Zach Bogosian from the injured list and, paired with Enstrom, he gave the Jets some solid work with 17:44 in ice time, three hits, a blocked shot and an assist on Wheeler's 12th of the season.
"I felt good," said Bogosian. "It was a bit of a weird game with a lot of whistles, a lot of sitting around, a lot of penalties. But it felt good to be back and I didn't have any setbacks, so it was good."
"Zach had a pretty good game, fairly solid," said Claude Noel. "Some areas he was a little bit rusty but that's OK. I thought he matched up well with Toby."
The Jets' rising stars — rookies Mark Scheifle (two assists), Jacob Trouba (goal, assist) and Evander Kane (goal, assist) — were among the club's best. Scheifele now has points in five straight games (3 goals, 4 assists) and has moved into the NHL leaders for rookie scoring.
"Mark has grown like we anticipated," said Noel. "People were criticizing that he's not ready, it's too much and this and that. It just goes to show you there is a process and you have to be patient."
