Blond or not, Bond looks good for 50. Ian Fleming's secret agent man celebrates half a century on the big screen and that includes countless gadgets, hundreds of villains, multiple Bond Girls, many martinis and tons of well-fitted suits.
A franchise this successful has naturally spawned imitators, homages and parodies but there's only one James Bond, with ruggedly handsome Daniel Craig as the latest, and some would say best, actor to step into the covetable wardrobe previously worn by Sean Connery, Roger Moore, George Lazenby, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan.
On the cusp of the theatrical release of Skyfall, the 23rd movie in the Bond universe, we're taking a look back at the first 50 years of Bond, from soundtracks to sirens, Connery to Craig, Live and Let Die to Die Another Day.
Dive into the fast and fashionable world of 007 with our stylish infographic and visit our Skyfall HQ right here.

It was not immediately known whether other vehicles were involved.
An accident reconstruction team is on the scene.

The fungus candida causes a vaginal yeast infection. Your vagina naturally contains a balanced mix of yeast, including candida, and bacteria. Lactobacillus bacteria produce acid, which prevents yeast overgrowth. That balance can be disrupted and lead to a yeast infection. Too much yeast in your vagina causes vaginal itching, burning and other classic signs and symptoms of a yeast infection.
Overgrowth of yeast can result from:
Candida albicans is the most common type of fungus to cause yeast infections. Sometimes, other types of candida fungus are to blame. Common treatments usually cure a Candida albicans infection. Yeast infections caused by other types of candida fungus can be more difficult to treat, and need more aggressive therapies.
A yeast infection might happen after certain sexual activities, especially oral-genital sexual contact. However, a yeast infection isn't considered a sexually transmitted infection. Even women who aren't sexually active can develop yeast infections.

Wildfires along the California coast northwest of Los Angeles are threatening thousands of homes and a military base.
Around 200 dwellings were evacuated and a university campus closed.
A force of over 900 firefighters have managed to carve containment lines around about 10% of the perimeter of the fires.
The fires have scorched up to 4,047 hectares of dry, dense brush and shrubland since erupting yesterday morning.
Fire officials said 15 homes were damaged, though no residential structures were lost and no injuries have been reported.
While the extent of evacuations was scaled back today, some 4,000 homes were considered to be under threat, the Ventura County Fire Department said.
The so-called Springs Fire and a flurry of smaller blazes around the state this week marked an abrupt start to a California fire season that weather forecasters predict will be worsened by a summer of high temperatures and drought throughout much of the US West.
"We're seeing fires burning like we usually see in late summer, at the height of the fire season, and it's only May," Ventura County Fire Department spokesman Tom Kruschke said.
Wind conditions had improved enough to allow several planes equipped for dumping payloads of fire-retardant chemicals to return to the air at dawn along with a fleet of six water-dropping helicopters.
The blaze broke out yesterday beside the US 101 freeway, less than 16kms north of the Pacific coast, and quickly spread to the fringes of the communities of Camarillo and Newbury Park.
Flames had advanced to within a short distance of the ocean's edge in some places today, forcing authorities to close several miles of Pacific Coast Highway.
At the Point Mugu US Naval Air Station on the coast, all non-essential personnel were ordered to stay home for a second day.
Some 200 homes along the coastal highway and canyon roads leading up into the foothills north from the highway remained evacuated.
California State University at Channel Islands campus, including student housing, was closed for a second day, the university said in a website posting, though official evacuation orders for the school were lifted.

Erstwhile Chargers running back Michael Turner, best known to fantasy players as the guy you picked up in a late round in hopes that LaDainian Tomlinson would get injured (BUT NNNOOOOOO HE HAD TO WAIT FOR THE PLAYOFFS FOR THAT), got on the 6-year-deal train which seems so popular this off-season and is now heading to the Falcons.
Falcons fans seem a little elated, and when your other option is Jerious Norwood, why wouldn't you be? But this "beginning of an era" stuff might be a touch hasty. I mean, the team has two running backs, no quarterback and no receivers. Doesn't that just make you the Vikings?

Jenson Button is still optimistic he can bridge the gap to Fernando Alonso in the drivers' championship after taking second place behind the Spaniard in Sunday's German Grand Prix and has said he heads into next weekend's race in Hungary confident the team will be able to challenge for victory.
Button lies seventh in the title race, 86 points behind Alonso with team-mate Lewis Hamilton in fifth, 62 points back. However, after struggling for pace in the previous two races the upgrades McLaren brought to Germany have clearly put his car back in contention at the front of the pack. "Anything is possible," he said. "It is never easy when you are that far behind but I am never going to give up, I am going to fight all the way."
The task is not going to be easy, with Alonso on such superlative form and with so little margin between the front-runners but the British driver observed that a strong push, similar to the one of his championship-winning year where he won the six of the first seven races, would put Ferrari under pressure.
"We might have to repeat 2009 in reverse," he said. "Win six out of seven races in the second half of the season. That might have to be the case to challenge Fernando but it can happen. Look how he has picked up so many points but that can soon turn around.
"They have had the consistency but suddenly when you have a fifth or sixth place, that can disrupt the organisation and make a big difference to strategy and things go up in the air. Hopefully, we can push them into that situation."
Consistency will be key to any challenge, McLaren having lost points in the first half of the season with poor qualifying, technical failures as well as pit-stop problems, and a string of high-placed finishes is essential from Hungary onwards. The race in Germany at least appeared to demonstrate that McLaren's pit crew is back on top form, pulling off a 2.31sec stop – a new world record.
Button will also be hoping to avoid further controversy, as in Germany after Sebastian Vettel's move on him in Hockenheim was declared illegal and the German demoted to fifth. Button was promoted to second but believes Vettel's failure to give the place back on track was more costly for his rival. "He thought it was working out for him at the time but obviously the stewards didn't think it was correct and we got the points and the position," he said. "It cost Sebastian quite a lot of points. We know what the limits of the track are and we have got to make sure we don't push our luck too much."
Had Vettel returned the place to Button he would still have had the final lap to make another move or taken third place, worth 15 points as opposed to the 10 he earned in fifth.
Importantly, though, it was a real team performance in Germany that, along with the upgrades, has left Button keen to go racing in Hungary, a circuit where he has won twice, including his first Formula One victory. "With some tweaks to the car and a good race weekend, it makes a big difference to my confidence. Nice that it is a back-to-back weekend as well because we have the momentum to take with us," he said. "We didn't win but we feel we can go to the next one and challenge. I will wake up with a smile on my face and really look forward to Hungary."
Elsewhere, Button's team principal, Martin Whitmarsh, has warned that Red Bull's alleged use of engine mapping, investigated and declared legal – to the letter, if not the spirit of the regulations by the stewards before the race on Sunday – could provoke a spending war by the top teams, at the very time methods of limiting costs are being debated.
"If now it is a decision that you are allowed to do that then everyone is going to spend a lot of money to be running that sort of map and will be doing it as quickly as you can," said Whitmarsh. "If that's what it's got to be it's got to be. Clearly the FIA is frustrated by it, so I think it will be better for there to be clarity and to stop doing it in the future."
There may be a clarification of the rule before Hungary, with the sport's technical working group meeting on Monday and the Red Bull principal, Christian Horner, accepting that the subject will be discussed.
"I'm sure there is going to be debate about it," he said. "The regulations are clear, so there could well be further technical directives that are designed to try and further clarify those regulations."

Forwards Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischmann were traded by the Montreal Canadiens to the Chicago Blackhawks on Friday night.
Montreal got forward Phillip Danault and a 2018 second-round draft pick in return.
"Phillip Danault is a young and gifted player who will be part of our core group of young forwards for many years to come. I am very pleased to have him join our organization," said Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin in a statement. "As a member of the Blackhawks management group, I was instrumental in the selection of Phillip in the first round of the 2011 NHL Draft.
"Dale Weise and Tomas Fleischmann have both been good contributors to our team and I would like to wish them the best of luck with the Blackhawks' organization."
Weise has 14 goals and 12 assists in 56 games with the Canadiens so far this season. He was acquired by the Canadiens from the Vancouver Canucks in return for Raphael Diaz on Feb. 3, 2014.
Fleischmann has 10 goals and 10 assists in 57 games Montreal thus far this season. He signed a contract with the Canadiens as a free agent on Oct. 4, 2015.
Danault appeared in 32 career games with the Blackhawks, including 30 this season, earning a goal, four assists and six penalty minutes.
He had a goal and an assist with four penalty minutes in six games with the American Hockey League's Rockford IceHogs. In 160 career games in the AHL, Danault has 20 goals and 48 assists.
A native of Victoriaville, Que., Danault was the Blackhawks second pick in the first round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. He had 74 goals and 177 assists in 243 games with the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League's Victoriaville Tigres and Moncton Wildcats.

Born in Mexico, Pampanga, Romy is considered as one of the finest realist painters in the country today. Romy's near hyper realist rendition in his paintings can be attributed to decades of dedication to his art. Unlike other late bloomers in art, Romy cannot live without it. He took up his Fine Arts degree at the prestigious University of Santo Tomas School of Fine Arts. He took up vocational course in photography that gave him an edge among other artists. It is not surprising that Romy supported his family thru art. he started working as an artist in 1965 at Rustan Industrial Packaging Corporation when art is art (meaning there was no computer aided software to help artists back then.). After a short stint at Associated Pharmaceuticals, Inc. as a medical artist, he devoted his entire corporate life as an Art Supervisor in Ad and Promo Department at Mercury Drug Corporation from 1969-2000. After 35 long years in a corporate world, Romy decided to call it quits and put up his own Graphic Design Shop and teaches art thru workshops. Having the liberty to become a full time artist, he joined the Las Piñas Artists Society in 2007 and in 2010 the Filipino Artist Realist Movement where he actively participated in various exhibits and competitions conducted by the Art Association of the Philippines. He recently joined the Visual Artist of Parañaque to broaden his horizon in the field of art.

Leyland says odd interference play was a first
Leyland says odd interference play was a first
"I've never seen that happen in the history of my years in professional baseball. Ever," Leyland said on Sunday before the opener of a doubleheader against the Twins. "That's why I enjoy this game. You see something that you've never seen before, and I've never seen that in the history of my career."
Nor, for that matter, had Peralta, the shortstop Casilla was ruled to have interfered with when they collided on Denard Span's popup just behind the bag.
"He's on the base," Peralta said. "He didn't see me. That's the first time that I see that play, but it worked out for me."
The interference comes from MLB Rule 7.08(b), but it's a judgment call: "A runner who is adjudged to have hindered a fielder who is attempting to play on a batted ball is out whether it was intentional or not. If, however, the runner has contact with a legally occupied base when he hinders the fielder, he should not be called out, unless such hindrance, in the umpire's judgement ... is intentional."
Casilla told reporters after Saturday's 8-0 Tigers win that he had no intent to hinder. The decision apparently came from the fact that Casilla made no attempt to get out of the way, despite the fact that he was on the bag.
"I just went back to the bag and stayed on the bag. I didn't see him coming toward me because my face was looking straight to center field," he said. "I just felt him hit me and I tried to stay on the bag, but [second-base umpire Brian O'Nora] called me out right away."
Leyland said later Sunday that he talked with the crew, and was told that Saturday's ruling was not the right call in that situation.

Citing Walmart's $16 billion in profits every year, OUR Walmart members have called on the company to publicly commit to raising wages and increasing access to full time hours so that no worker at Walmart makes less than $25,000 per year. Though Walmart has paid lip service to workers' concerns since the historic Black Friday strikes last fall, the company has yet to take meaningful action to address the problems plaguing associates and customers at stores across the country.
"While the Walton family has the wealth of 42 percent of American families combined, many associates like me can't even support our families without relying on government support," said OUR Walmart member Mary Pat. "In addition to low pay, the company's scheduling practices leave many of us with inadequate and erratic hours—making it impossible to afford even basic necessities or even find a second job."
Several days before the shareholder meeting, "Ride for Respect" caravans will leave from cities across the country, including Seattle, the San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Chicago, Denver, Miami, Orlando and Baton Rouge, among others. As OUR Walmart members make their way to Bentonville, Ark., they will hold actions at Walmart stores, talk to associates about OUR Walmart, and also stop to meet with local unions and supportive community organizations.
Los Angeles Walmart worker Tsehai Almaz said that she and other OUR Walmart leaders were inspired to follow the example of the 1961 freedom riders. "I feel like we're facing many of the same issues," said Almaz, "it's about respect, and being able to feed our families, and having good working conditions.""Walmart Board Members like Rob Walton and Greg Penner of the Walton family, Marissa Mayer and Aida Alvarez can do so much more to be leaders in this company and to help change the way Walmart treats workers. We're telling them that silence is no longer an option," said OUR Walmart member Colby Harris.
Calls for a change of course and leadership at Walmart have grown in recent months, as the company faces allegations of Foreign Corrupt Practices Act violations abroad and scrutiny in the U.S. over empty shelves and long lines caused by inadequate staffing.

General Question
Is this video on running technique correct?
Asked by LDRSHIP (1774) November 30th, 2013
NOTE: Watch video first – http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSIDRHUWlVo&list=PL9C339C13ECE891FC
I've been able to change my running form and so far (knock on wood) my shin splits are gone the only reason I even looked into it was because of that.
Honestly have had hardly any other pains besides muscle soreness and the like.
I stumbled onto this video and yes if you are wondering I did read Born to Run.
Looking for feedback on whether or not what is being said and discussed in video is correct. Does it really work that way in terms of science or does it just sound good to explain that way?

For its part, the Pentagon says the bombing was a reaction to a "hostile act" and acted strictly by the book. If an Iraqi radar operator locks in on an Allied plane, it will respond with force. "The U.S. was just showing the flag," says Dowell, who doubts the U.S. are interested in carrying this any further. "They were feeling us out, and we let them know we'll react." The reaction from Iraq officials, who deny that lock-on ever happened, has been grumpy but low-key. The country's ambassador to the U.N., though, was sure to include a dig at the U.S.: the missile, he said, had "of course" missed its target and landed in a reservoir.
U.S. Plane Fires Missile on Iraq
WASHINGTON: Is the standoff with Saddam suddenly back on? "This doesn't have to be a major incident -- unless somebody wants it to be," says TIME U.N. correspondent Bill Dowell. He was referring to an incident early this morning in which a U.S. F-16 fired on an Iraqi radar installation after the radar "locked on" to a patrol of British jets. "The radar lock-on is the decision of a local commander, and it's easily disavowed by Baghdad," says Dowell. "If the Iraqis want, they call it an act of aggression and make a confrontation with the U.N. out of it."

ARSENAL had goalkeeper Wojciech Szczesny sent off after record-signing Mesut Oezil had missed an early penalty, and eventually went down 2-0 against Bayern Munich in the Champions League last-16 first-leg tie at Emirates Stadium.
There was a blistering start to the European tie - a year on from their last encounter in north London - and the holders might have snatched an early lead when Toni Kroos fired in a 25-yard effort towards the top corner, which Szczesny tipped over.
Yaya Sanogo had been a controversial selection in attack ahead of France striker Olivier Giroud, whose off-field actions have made headlines in recent weeks. However, the summer free transfer from Auxerre - who has been out for several months with a back problem - had a close-range shot palmed away by Manuel Neuer, before the German keeper saved a tame penalty from Oezil on eight minutes.
Loading article content
There was more drama just before the break as Arsenal goalkeeper Szczesny was shown a red card for bringing down Arjen Robben in the penalty area, only for full-back David Alaba to side-foot his spot-kick against the base of the post.
Bayern, though, went ahead on 54 minutes thanks to a superb 20-yard strike from Kroos, which whipped into the top corner past substitute keeper Lukasz Fabianski. The hosts tired heading into the final 20 minutes as Robben exploited the space in front of a jaded backline. Eventually, the pressure told, as substitute Thomas Mueller ghosted into space to score a late second goal to all but kill off the tie ahead of the return leg at the Allianz Arena next month.
"Arsenal were much, much better than us in the first 10-15 minutes, after the mistake from Oezil the game was equal," said Pep Guardiola, the Bayern manager. "From that moment we played better and after the red card for the goalkeeper the game was for us."
It had all started so promisingly. After that superb save from Szczesny to turn over that blistering strike from Kroos - a reported summer target for Manchester United, though why his club would ever let him go is unclear - which was heading into the top-right corner, Arsenal went on the offensive.
Sanogo's close-range shot was palmed away by Neuer and the goalkeeper also stopped an angled drive from Santi Cazorla before the home side were awarded a penalty in the eighth minute. Oezil's brilliant reverse stepover bamboozled Jerome Boateng, who upended the Arsenal playmaker and was booked. However, the penalty from the German was tame, nothing more dangerous than a light chip down the middle following a two-step run-up, and Neuer - a childhood friend of Oezil - saved.
"I prefer people to run properly at the ball," admitted Wenger. "Everyone has his own style and you have to respect it. There's not one way of penalty taking, if he's comfortable taking it like that . . . it's his style. It was a very difficult night but as well a night the team has shown some quality and some class."
The England winger Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was then inches away from connecting with a flick-on from Sanogo, which had Neuer racing out to the edge of the Bayern area.
Arsenal were forced into a change on 31 minutes when left-back Kieran Gibbs hobbled off with what looked like a hamstring injury and was replaced by Nacho Monreal.
Bayern continued to probe and Robben's low shot was blocked by Per Mertesacker following another patient build-up down the left flank.
Then, in the 37th minute, the Dutch forward latched on to a chip into the Arsenal box, which he touched past Szczesny and was brought down. Italian referee Nicola Rizzoli had little choice but to award a penalty and show the keeper a red card. It was the 100th accrued by Arsenal under Wenger's managerial reign.
Szczesny made an offensive hand gesture as he trudged off down the tunnel and, after a considerable delay as the unfortunate Cazorla was replaced by Fabianski, Alaba struck the base of the left-hand post.
Bayern made the breakthrough in the 54th minute when captain Philipp Lahm fed Kroos on the edge of the penalty area, and as the Arsenal defence backed off, he cracked a fine curling shot into the top-right corner.
Arsenal tired heading into the final 20 minutes, and Robben exploited the space to curl a 20-yard effort just wide before Mario Goetze's powerful header was deflected behind.
Wenger made a change for the final quarter-of-an-hour as Tomas Rosicky replaced Oxlade-Chamberlain, but it was another substitute, on the opposing side, who was to have the final say.
Mueller first looked to have been tripped by Laurent Koscielny in the right side of the penalty box, but the officials waved play on.
Then, the killer blow. Lahm's cross from the right was headed in by Mueller in the 88th minute. And it could have been worse, but Kroos' low shot struck the base of the post in stoppage time, keeping the score at 2-0.

To begin a conversation on the energy of improvisation,
I have to preface the whole thing by saying, there is
no freedom like expressing yourself from an energetic space.
Well, what the hell does that mean? Right.
So, as I explore the wonder of sound, vibration
and frequency, I've discovered that it all boils down to
pretty much the same thing...energy.
I become more and more aware how this alternate path
from Jazz to sound healing is as natural as breathing for me.
The feeling or energy of improvisation is like taking
a running jump off of a cliff and flying on currents
of sound that flow through me....
gliding up and down, flying in formation,
pulling away to fly solo and falling
and rising slowly to land effortlessly (if all goes well)
on the ground. Only to begin again on a different current.
This freedom of musical expression is based in some part
on the structure of sound and then it is released into trust.
Trust that you'll know what needs to be heard, felt,
perceived in that moment.
- Will the sound of these vocal improvisations
- Will it change lives?
- Will it bring peace?
- Will it explain the unexplained to those
- Will it open a door that had been locked shut
- Will it release the soul from created hell?
I only know that when the song is done something
has changed, shifted, moved....
When I began playing with sound. Self-created sound,
tuning forks, Tibetan singing bowls and energy
with my hands and body. The method or instinct
was very similar to when I jazz improvise.
There is an awareness of energy around each body.
A kind of swirling and whirling of geometry,
not unlike the fractions and form in musical notation.
I don't see with my physical eyes.
I see with my energy eyes.
My inner vision, if you will.
There is much trust involved. Like jumping off the cliff
in improvisation, I jump into the space,
the electromagnetic field (the energy field surrounding
each one of us) of my client and I be the sound or
ask for the sound that is required to heal.
Before I begin with any client I ask them what
they'd like to receive from there session.
Much like I ask each song what it's trying to say or be.
Every person knows where they are stuck or
where they need healing. From this space,
from this energy that vibrates in their universe
I can access the frequency that will shift and
create the change or begin to create the change
the person is seeking.
Pretty cool huh?
I can only say, experience it to find out for yourself.
Or attend one of my jazz concerts and take the
running jump off the cliff into the whirling swirling
wonder of space and freedom with me.


text: I'd like to spend under $200 to get smoking. I had a Brinkman a while back (was a youngin at that point) and didn't have the patience to keep the charcoal fed every hour. I'm older and more patient now and would probably put up with it but it's gone now. I never used it and my wife sold it in our garage sale last year. So that brings us to today. All I have left is a smoker box for the gas grill (a Weber Genesis). I'm a minimalist so I wouldn't mind just that box if it worked.... but I find it to not quite give enough smoke flavor and at times too much of the thick blue smoke. I love smoked chicken (cheap and tastes great) so that's where my goals are currently at with smoking meats. There was a grocery store we used to frequent that had a BIG outdoor smoker that used a real firewood log stuffed in a hole for the smoke and I think propane for the heat. That system made great smoked chicken (IMO). Can I do this at home? I'm not set on any one type of fuel (electric, gas, wood). I have plenty of firewood mostly hickory and oak, so that'd be as fine a heat source as anything. Thanks in advance for any tips and a direction pointed to get the tools I need! Something like this is what I'm after:

PAWTUCKET, R.I., Jan. 9 (UPI) -- Rhode Island-based toymaker Hasbro is holding a vote online to decide which of its iconic Monopoly game tokens will be retired.
The "Save Your Token" campaign allows fans to vote on the game's Facebook page for their favorite token -- the Scottie dog, top hat, race car, battleship, wheelbarrow, shoe, thimble or iron -- and the object with the fewest votes will be retired from future releases of the board game, USA Today reported Wednesday.
The Facebook site also allows fans of the game to vote for the token that will replace the retired game piece, a cat, guitar, toy robot, helicopter or diamond ring.
Hasbro said the limited-run "Golden Token" Monopoly will be sold in mid-February and will be the last edition to feature all the classic tokens and the only edition to feature all five potential new pieces.
Voting ends Feb. 5 and the first Monopoly edition to feature the new token lineup will go on sale during the summer, the company said.

There's alot of talent at the receiver position this season in the Peach State. Well, now you can add another name to the list at wide out. His name is Shavarez Smith. Chances are that it's a new name out there. Smith, 6-1 and 200 pounds, was at Eagles Landing last season. He sustained a toe injury in game two, had surgery and missed the rest of the season.
Then, three weeks ago he transferred to nearby Henry County High School in McDonough, Ga. Henry County is the home of one of the nation's top receivers in Markeith Ambles. Last season they also had Jamaal Patterson (Stanford). The year before they had Chris Jackson (Alabama). This school knows a good receiver when they see one.
"He's as talented as all those guys," said Rex Roberson of Henry County. "We have only had in for eight days now but boy can he play. He can run (4.45) and jump (40 inch vertical jump) like a pogo stick. Shaverez is built like he's made to play in those Under Armour commercials. He's a secret but not for long."
Article Continues Below
Smith played running back at Eagles Landing. At Henry County he will line up opposite Ambles. If he's as good as advertised this duo should put up monster numbers and Henry County will have a chance to play their way deep in the Georgia state playoffs.
"I am making the transition to receiver," Smith said. "And I am very excited about the opportunity to play at Henry County. They have put up huge numbers and they have thrown the ball around. My biggest strengths are my leaping ability, hands, speed, and I have deceptive moves. I am pretty strong out there. I'm physical and aggressive. I am licking my chops this fall. I know this team can do big things and I am excited to play with Markeith. We talked today and he's excited I'm here.
The only team that really knows about Smith is Georgia State. He has already camped there this summer and did quite well.
"I am going to more camps this summer. I will go anywhere schools show some interest in me. Being from Georgia I like the Georgia Bulldogs. I have camped there before but not this summer because we have been playing in these passing leagues and I am trying to learn this offense. I am pretty open and I want to see what happens with all the schools out there this summer and fall."

Imagine spending years designing, redesigning, engineering and finally building a car — only to have public opinion weigh in on your baby. No pressure, right? Well, at this year's New York International Auto Show, plenty of brands did a damn good job. We were tantalized by some of what's to come: cars that will certainly hit production in some form or another (and thank goodness for that). From track beasts to practical and attractive sedans, we rounded up the cream of the crop, in our humble opinion. Take a look at the 10 best in show.
MORE AUTO SHOW EYE CANDY: Detroit Auto Show Sports Cars | Detroit Auto Show Trucks | Bell Helicopters 525 Relentless
SRT Viper TA
What's the matter, the standard SRT Viper not good enough for you? What? You also happen to be a huge fan of the color orange (we empathize)? The SRT Viper Time Attack, apparently, has been built just for you, and it's a hellion for the tarmac. Tasty track bits include upgraded Brembo brakes, tightened up suspension, carbon fiber front and rear spoilers, lighter wheels and "Crusher Orange" paint that will make you the fastest Dreamsicle on wheels. Only 33 will be made. but they're probably already gone, so save your tears.
Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Land Rover is apparently shaving weight everywhere. We laud their slimmed-down efforts. The Range Rover Sport goes with an all-aluminum body (like the top-end Range Rover), cutting a whopping 800 pounds from the previous iteration's weight. With its evolutionary but clearly modern new design, the Sport evokes the hugely successful Evoque, with its sloping lines and tapered head and taillights, rather than the SUV it replaces. The supercharged V6 will mill 340 horses, while the supercharged V8 will be good for 510 hp — no doubt resulting in some astounding performance numbers that should have a direct effect on your blood pressure. As a bonus, the new Range Rover Sport can now be had with three rows, which is great for the kids or for the socially inept couple that piggybacks on your dinners out.
Shelby Raptor
The Ford SVT Raptor ($61,455) is on our list of coveted drives this year, so we'll certainly have to add the Shelby Raptor, too. The Shelby-fied version adds a supercharger and a Borla exhaust on top of the standard truck's 411 hp 6.2-liter V8 to get to a sum of 575 horses. Other than the subdued Shelby name added to the exterior paint, you'l only be able to tell it apart from the stock Raptor by its custom wheels and the bigger cloud of dust it'll leave behind in its wake.
Jaguar XKR-S GT
The track-ready Jaguar XKR-S GT easily qualifies as one of the shows biggest stars. The stock XKR-S gets tweaked suspension, beefier tires and brakes and some pretty sweet front and rear carbon spoilers to make it race-ready. It still uses the same 550 hp 5.0-liter V8 as the XKR-S, but hustles its sleek duds in a more rapid fashion. $174K gets you all this, and only 29 other folks will have the same sweet ride.
Audi S3 Sedan
Americans rejoice: another handsome Audi makes it to our shores in the form of the A3. The tidy German sedan will be followed by the small but wonderfully powerful Audi S3 Sedan. Along with the standard S aesthetic treatment, the S3 will also get 18-inch wheels, an all-leather interior, automatic sport seats and a 2.0-liter TFSI engine good for 296 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque. A sub-5 second 0-60 proves it's no putter. The BMW 1-Series M and the Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG now have company. Sales should start at the end of the year for around $39,000.
Mercedes-Benz CLA45 AMG
Mercedes' new baby Benz sure is a looker. CLS-inspired, the CLA45 AMG ($47,450) is a testament to great German design. Plus, it houses a 355 hp turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine that's good for 155 MPH and 0-60 in less than five seconds. The 4MATIC AWD system makes sure all that power is sure-footed, too. Look for this beauty to go on sale as soon as this spring.
Cadillac CTS
The all-new Cadillac CTS sedan is a show stealer, and it's not even a concept car. That's right, the handsome car you see is the production model, and boy is it a looker. Eschewing the stealth-fighter-inspired design that made the CTS polarizing, the new car borrows design elements from the smaller ATS. The result is quite possibly the best-looking American sedan we've seen in a while thanks to the vertical LED headlamps that flow from mid-hood down to the air dam and the smooth creases that slide across the full length of the body. The new CTS will come with three engine choices, including a 4-cylinder turbo (272 hp), a naturally aspirated V6 (321 hp) and a monster twin-turbo V6 (420 hp). Whatever engine choice you make, you'll be driving a sports sedan that can finally go toe-to-toe with the Germans. Now that's saying something.
BMW 328d
Yes, folks. Diesel is exciting
again. Fuel efficient and torquey, it's the smart man's approach to better mileage without compromising driving dynamics. The BMW 328d makes its way to the states in the fall of this year, bragging 45 mpg highway, mid-30 mpg city; it still does 0-60 in around seven seconds, thanks to a turbocharged, direct-injection 2.0-liter engine good for 180 hp and a huge 280 lb-ft of torque. You can have your mileage with some speed for dessert, all for under $40K.
Chevrolet Camaro Z/28
Oh, new Camaro iterations, including the SS, the 1LE and the ZL1, how we love thee. Add to that list the Camaro Z/28 Though it's not as meaty as the mighty ZL1, the 7.0-liter LS7 small block V8 provides a more than adequate 500 hp. Plus, it's track ready with a short-throw manual six-speed, better aerodynamics, increased downforce and some pretty sweet sport seats. We're just glad they brought the name back… and introduced it in a color other than yellow. Look for the new Z/28 to go on sale in the fall of 2014. Think you can wait that long?
Subaru WRX Concept
We love us a rally car, and the Subaru WRX hasn't disappointed, regardless of its generation. The Subaru WRX Concept gives us a glimpse at what the next gravel eater could look like. Melding the looks of a Nissan GTR and a Honda Civic Si, the WRX Concept dons big fenders, deep side scallops and a beautiful, light carbon-fiber roof. The huge rear wing has been replaced by a far more subtle trunklid spoiler (like it or not). Also gone are the gold BBS wheels, with more quiet (but still attractive) thin-spoked wheels showcasing the big brakes and yellow calipers. No word on whether this is very close to the final production version and, even worse, no word on when we'll see the next-gen WRX. Whatever the case, we're just happy that the WRX seems here to stay.

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — Sacramento police are warning residents to be careful with their credit card information after they busted a criminal operation that used stolen credit card information to buy washers and dryers.
In October, police arrested two suspects for allegedly using stolen credit cards to purchase washers and dryers from Whirlpool. Police were tipped off in September after Whirlpool Corp. told investigators that several orders for washers and dryers had been purchased using fraudulent credit card information in the Sacramento area.
Detectives posed as delivery drivers and arrested two suspects – a male and a female — in connection with the crimes.
The male suspect was arrested after he allegedly asked the undercover officer to leave the washer and dryer at a residence near 24th Street and 50th Avenue. When the 27-year-old suspect arrived, he reportedly posed as the real owner of the credit card. A search of the suspect's residence turned up about 500 names and credit card information of victims across the United States.
The 27-year-old female suspect was arrested after a washer and dryer that were purchased using fraudulent information were dropped off at a residence near Highfield Circle and Manorside Drive.
Both suspects knew each other. They were convicted on identity theft charges.

Okay, California Pacific Airlines ready again
FAA-certified, but start dates out of Carlsbad airport uncertain (psst, April)
Ken Harrison 8:30 a.m., Nov. 18
In order to evade the prospect of toiling on the Sabbath, I made my way to the rad patio at Redwing Bar and Grill in North Park yesterday afternoon for a burger and dollar beers.
In addition to the weekly $1 twelve-ounce Bud/Lights and burger special (2 to 6 p.m.), a grill was smoking away on a back patio ornamented with patriotic doo-dads in order to further the celebration of our nation's freedom -- cooking auxiliary burgers, hot dogs, and pork ribs.
Redwing's grill offers premium bar food including hot wings, fried things (zucchini, poppers, mushrooms, cheese, potatoes, onions, calamari, etc.), sandwiches, salads, and specialty dogs.
Elaborating on an already righteous concept, the Pig Out dog is double bacon-wrapped then deep fried, while the Pucker Up comes with warm 'kraut and Swiss cheese on a French roll -- spicy mustard on side.
But this burger was great, too.
Tall bamboo shoots adorn the sun-soaked patio, where you can order food and drinks from the outdoor bar while a Bud Light sign encourages you to "Be yourself" from a rainbow-toned neon logo.
Accordingly, the prevalent fashion sensibility is exemplified by chains, padlocks, leather vests, Doc Martens, camo cargo shorts, and even a pair of white high heel lace-up boots, telling of the Redwing's evolution into the night.
Check out Redwing's Taco Tuesdays with $3 margaritas and karaoke, and sing Vicente Fernandez.

Sorry I am unable to post pic but will describe. Hibiscus is a double apricot or bright orange color. Does not have shinny leaves like my other tropical hibiscus but 2-3" dull leaves with serrated edges. rather large plant. I purchased it this year from Home depot because I fell in love with flowers. The flowers tend to hang their heads when in bloom. Could this be a hardy hibiscus??? I have seen some that look similar growing in my area and they are planted in the ground.
SOLVED: Hibiscus what type please
Double apricot/orange suggests to me that it is tropical hibiscus (H. rosa-sinensis). Of the commonly available hibiscus species, the tropicals are the only ones that come in orange--the other species (hardy hibiscus, rose of sharon, Texas star, etc) come in some combinations of red/pink/white but don't go orange. Maybe with some of them you could get a sort of peachy-ish pink, but it would be more on the pink side not really orange. I also am not aware of any double-flowered hardy hibiscus (H. moscheutos).
I have quite a few tropicals and some of them don't have shiny leaves, so my money would be on it being a tropical. You're close to the Gulf so I expect you're in a warm enough zone that tropicals would survive the winter outside (at least most of the time--if you had a super cold snap that might kill them, but a typical winter they would likely make it)
Thanks ecrane3 I suspected this was a tropical hibiscus. I have it in a large pot now but want to put it in the garden. I am going to give it a try since I am in zone 9A too.

Investiture Controversy
...and people of their future diocese was never abrogated, it was ignored. Bishops and abbots were nominated and installed by rulers in a ceremony known since the second half of the 11th century as investiture. The consecration of the newly minted bishop by his ecclesiastical superior then usually followed.

The first U.S. casualty in Iraq was a Marine who died fighting to seize an oil-pumping station in Rumeila a symbolic death that bluntly summarized the war goals of our court-appointed leader. Yet George W. Bush and his junta of tycoons neednt worry about the corporate news media dwelling upon such indelicate metaphors nor, certainly, about CNN giving undue attention to the waves of protest that have rippled across America following the invasion. Television has mostly adopted a dont-ask, dont-tell policy toward dissent, devoting between 10 seconds to half a minute on demonstrations per half-hour broadcast. Last weekend, anti-war activists tried to make it easy for CNN: They protested the networks coverage in front of CNNs own offices in Los Angeles and Atlanta.
Saturdays L.A. rally and march began at Hollywood and Vine under a warm sun and had a carnival flavor to it. Members of the butoh group Corpus Delicti writhed on the ground, silent and ghostly; among all the loud drumming efforts, one man quietly tapped a small Tupperware container; four young Parisian-attired women (big berets and striped tops) waved a tricolor theyd stitched together the night before.
The media has really run with all the attacks on France, said Amanda. But were here to show we support the French.
Alliance for Survival activist Jerry Rubin was concerned about public attitudes toward the human suffering caused by war and violence.
Sometimes people are so easily written off as collateral damage, he said. When Rachel Corrie got run over by an Israeli bulldozer our government said it was an unfortunate accident. Would they have said that if an Iraqi tank had run over an American? Do you think if a tank had run over that guy in Tien An Men Square they would have called that an unfortunate accident?
LAPD Chief Bill Bratton observed the scene on Sunset and Cahuenga in the CNN buildings shadow, looking casual and relaxed in pleated slacks and an LAPD polo shirt. The night before, at a law-and-order panel held at the Skirball Cultural Center, he had told an audience of 200 to thank the demonstrators for leaving the Westside understaffed, alluding to the vigil then being held at the Westwood Federal Building. I asked him Saturday how long he thought the demonstrations would be allowed to continue was there a point where someone would say enough was enough?
Saturdays a big day for businesses, he replied rather cryptically. The effect on business will probably have to be looked at somewhere down the line.
Like Saturdays action, the Oscar Sunday protests drew only a fraction of the 10,000 to 20,000 who braved hammering rain to march downtown the week before. Perhaps some were disheartened by the launch of war or were simply afraid. All week long Mayor Hahn and his Chicken Little crowd of Homeland Security mavens spoke darkly of the coming terror, while the heart of Hollywood became a no-go zone during the Oscars. Theres a nauseating narcissism behind the belief that places like Disneyland and the Kodak Theater would rate on any terrorists shortlist of targets, but local civic leaders put on their air-warden helmets as though they expected the Scuds to start arriving with the first limo.
The official peace rally took place at Sunset and Orange Drive, though many protesters gathered in front of the Ripleys Believe It or Not Museum on Hollywood and Highland, where police searched and scanned pedestrians at entry points, and whose northeast corner had been given to a few dozen Bush supporters. The groups yelled slogans and insults across the boulevard at each other, but the acoustics of the street and the drone of helicopters created a sound wall between the two sides, so that one could hear the other only as a distant echo.
Many of the pro-war demonstrators had been alerted to the rally by Free Republic, a right-wing Web site that serves as a kind of online Wailing Wall for Americans feeling the twin emotions of hurt and entitlement. It was difficult to gauge just how many pro-wars had shown up, because not only were there Oscar spectators and the usual boulevard feeders present, but each side also had infiltrators among the others ranks. Additionally, the pro-war side passed out free plastic American flags to pedestrians who had nothing to do with either rally. I approached a clean-cut family visiting from Chicago who were waving flags at passing limos near Starbucks.
Im just here to see Hollywood, the dad told me.
But werent they demonstrating for the war?
My wife wanted to see the stars, he said pleasantly. We could just as easily have stood on the other side of the street, and probably will in a minute.
The right-wing hardcore was clustered at the Free Republic epicenter, at Hollywood and Highland, where its partisans stood subdued and listless until homeless advocate Ted Hayes showed up. A familiar figure around town wherever there are news cameras and microphones, Hayes himself seemed subdued until he took hold of a microphone that was connected to a bullhorn. Then he came to life, announcing that Iraqis had used the cover of a white surrender flag to gun down American soldiers.
This is what these Muslims did! Hayes screamed. This is what these Iraqis did to our generous men! We will make sure that Hollywood never treats our president the way it has this week!
A gleam lit his eyes when he spotted John Boehm of Burbank, a lone peace activist holding a sign reading Bush Betrays USA. Hayes stepped to within a few inches of the man and shrieked into the bullhorn, How dare you stand here with your peace sign, how dare you join this communist-sponsored demonstration when your fellow Americans are being killed in Iraq!
Hayes uncorked a torrent of invective against Boehm, who stood stock still. The crowd was getting whipped into a frenzy and for a brief, ugly moment it seemed that they might attack the demonstrator in their midst.
Then, suddenly, Hayes offered his hand.
Peace, my brother, Hayes said calmly. Shake my hand. Were Americans, shake my hand. You have a right to be here. Shake my hand.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
After a moment Boehm tenuously accepted the hand of Hayes, who, finished with his little performance, then turned away and spoke to reporters. Unfortunately, a few bullies he had fired up continued to shout at Boehm. One of the pro-wars, a Huntington Beach man who was holding American and Israeli flags, began shoving Boehm until some bystanders insisted he stop. Yet the man returned moments later and pushed Boehm off to the edge of the perimeter, egged on by people shouting, Buh-bye! Buh-bye!
The peace rallys permit expired at 6 p.m., and the police responded by forcefully sweeping the Sunset site, clubbing several demonstrators in the process. By about 6:30 the last sizable group of milling protesters had been corralled by police into the residential intersection of Orange and Willoughby. Following the third command to disperse, about 100 young people reluctantly filed through gaps in the police lines and into the night, some heading to Sunset and La Brea, where the protest would eventually ember out. After about 15 minutes one lone man, called Direct, was left arrested, I was told by his friends, for using a bullhorn. (A Sergeant D. Galindo told me Direct had been detained for failure to disperse.) He stood in the middle of Willoughby Avenue, forlorn and with his hands bound behind his back, while an undercover cop dressed in ski-cap-and-sweatshirt slacker attire watched nearby.
All the security precautions street closures, spike strips, body searches, rooftop sharpshooters must have paid off, because no terrorists seized the Kodak that night. The evenings TV news shows mentioned Michael Moores denunciation of Bush and the war, but very few dared quote from his bold remarks. Instead, the news anchors presented their hollow mix of entertainment and Pentagon-sponsored war reporting, even as an unbridgeable gap widened in the American conversation, much like the gulf between the two sides on Hollywood Boulevard.
