The generic feature of this general is his mobility, which allows to move
an entire army very fast and create numerical superiority at desired
areas of the battlefield. His basic strategy is unstoppable maneuvering
along enemy base perimeter. If he finds a weak point in defense, he
moves there instantly and destroys the most significant targets.
Air Force general depends on speed and precision. He requires skillful
control and is heavy on micro management. While being a powerful general
the skill and experience required makes him difficult for many
beginners to play.
Laser is a versatile general strong in call situations. He is flexible and has
units to fill every combat role. As a result he has no weaknesses other
than being a specialist at nothing.
Advantage of this general is easy micro and very simple strategy. Almost the same
vs all enemies - build up around enemy until he dies. However, you
should not ignore other abilities.
He has the same strategy as tank general, but another means for its
implementation and another battle tactics. His vehicles are not as
armoured as tank general's ones, so he has to use artillery and
different tactics, and tricks, instead of forcing his way through.
Nuke General must rely on aggression to defend his base. He has no defenses
to hide behind while you wait for your nukes to load. The absence of
defense structures forces the player to be more active and aggressive.
Use your units to carry out counterattacks for defense and support your
main attack with super weapons.
Infantry is a volatile general given to decisive victories or defeats in the
early game. As expected, he relies on masses of infantry in the early
game, later reinforced by more infantry. In the late game he gains
powerful artillery strikes supported by the same infantry.
His strategy is easy to understand, but not as easy to implement:
build more tanks and attack. But everything has its details.
Toxin General specializes in area attacks and damage over time. He is
especially effective vs mobbed units and hordes. If well played, you
will find all of your positions unapproachable for the fields of acid
and poison.
He is a versatile and powerful general with demanding micro management needs.
Since almost all units are disposable, you must use them with care,
directing almost all kamikazes manually. The more assiduously you play -
the more complex it becomes for enemy to defend from your endless flows
of kamikazes. If you play properly, you can defeat any other general.
While at a glance his units are weak and poorly suited of combat, Stealth
General is a deceptively powerful general using infiltration and
surprise to his advantage. He has long range sniper units capable of
attacking with impunity against units lacking stealth detection. He is a
challenging general to play, but has a strong reward for the effort
Assault is a flexible general with flexible units. He is low micro management and well suited
for most players. While having no spectacular abilities he also has no weaknesses.

So 008 FINAL version testing has started and things are looking
good... and hot. Currently there are no serious problems which could
delay releasing of 008 Final version.
After some attempts to find a reliable and trusty member, willing to play and help us, we have decided to post here.
So, we are looking for a tester. Yes, a tester... What does it mean? It means you will:
- Get the latest 008 version which is found nowhere
- Play with developers in real time, chat with us and become friendlier with us
- You will also be involved in gameplay balancing
- Opportunity to get in team later, if 009 project starts
What you need to have:
- Some actual gaming skills, we are not pro players, but we are good. We
dont need a beginner or noob, we want to play balanced 2v2 or 3v3 games
- Time to play almost every day/night (1-3 games)
- English knowledge
- Trusty relationship with us, you need to know that we make final decisions about changes
- Dropbox installed
- Hamachi installed

If you are interested and if you have what it takes, please leave some info below:
- How long you have played Contra
- How old are you
- What's your timezone (required)
Also, we have recently updated our website, and will keep updating it. It was left behind for a long time since Creator was absent, and he was the only one with the rights to make changes. Fortunately, he showed up and gave us what we needed to make changes. Contra.cncguild.net
Contra 008 Beta II. Happy New Year to all of you!!! We are happy to inform you that Contra 008 Beta II release is ready!
The long, long awaited BETA is finally here! We, members of Contra Project Team, thank you for all the wait! It has been years since the last release...
You get disconnect (or mismatch) during multiplayer games? Contra 007 Net Fix is here. This patch requires Zero Hour 1.04 Patch and Contra 007. It's not...
Chinese translation for Contra 007 has been completed. Thanks to Oops2005. Just copy file to ZH folder.
When Contra 007 was released, it had new multiplayer maps. But they were locked because of an error. This fix unlocks 5 new maps. Install: Unpack it and...
This is Contra 007 fixed AI. Now the game must not crash with it.
A feedback from my friend who has no account here. He saw some models just now and wanted me to write this.
I don't like medic drone model - because of normal boxy machinegun on a stick. You played with all those robot models and they are great, but this one is disgusting. It's weapon should match the style of other parts of model. - Kvakos
It was Creator's idea. I'll tell him to consider it once again after the release of Beta version.
Hope this version work with all versions of the game like the 1.01 1.02 1.03 and 1.04 like the contra 007 where u can play with anyone version of the game and the mod still working clear and without lag THANKS REVORA From a big FAN
I thought 007 does not work on lower versions than 1.04. And even if it does, it would certainly cause mismatch in MP.
all team members that make the mod happen, not depend on it to survive, are being charged so annoying, as if they were obliged to do something for people who do not even know for nothing, please let them work in peace, imagine if they stop, who will do the job? we should be grateful.
why not all the modders help each other build some generals mods i mean yes you have teams and projects but the point here is we all love playing generals am i right? so why not help each other to finish all of the mods the supposed to finished then just give credit to the ones who helped i may be a no body or dont know anything on modding but who cares what i want to say u all people who has a gift of doing good mods should unite for our desires of playing perfect mods for generals that that ea games cannot do for us,generals contra,remix excalation,generals deep impact,generals modern warfare,generals peace mission,generals last battlefield,generals untitled,generals rise of reds,generals teod,generals untitles,generals reloading and all others mods all of you should consider ur self as a family because all of you do mos without anything in return help each other so all of us will have a happy year and all mods can be finished very sooner forget ur differences where all the same.peace out!!! if generals cwc can do it u also can do it
Son. Stop spamming.
snot spam pops i'm telling all the modders to unite pops im not doing anything bad here
You do. STOP WHINING.
im not whining alryt im expressing my self here motivating everyone to see the big picutre don't stop me let me just do me you'l do u alryt we have freedom of speech here ok ,Im not a type of person sits all the tym and w8 for the mod to be finished and plays it and doesnt care if the modders are gonna so what happens if all mods is gone.if u like this game then love it
many do not know that mod does not generate profits, why do they like. because there are moments in life that do not have all the time desired; ooohhh personnel, staff can not devote most of their time in producing the mod, everyone has problems, family, work ... are doing a great job, please do not be discouraged, the incredible is coming; ... EVERYONE PLEASE patience. anyway, let's hope, because it is the best mod.
I vill be so gladdy to play Conta 008, me familay will name first sun after creata for great mod. Good helth to you all

Good buy in a contemporary lamp
Sondra from Great Neck, NY– Verified Buyer
The lamp itself is quite handsome. The instructions to put the lamp together are quite another matter. The call for a piece that was not included in the package. Since I bought two of them, I will open the other one and check on it. The first lamp is together and looks OK. I will see what the other one looks. lt is a good buy for a simple contemporary lamp. I am disappointed to see that it was manufactured in China.
linda from Murrieta, CA– Verified Buyer
This lamp is well made. Substantial in weight and plain enough to look good anywhere. .I bought two and use them on either side of my bed. With touch control, so easy to switch off before sleep. Lamp is excellent value.
Sweet Lamp
Jeff from Dorchester Center, MA– Verified Buyer
Solid modern design, and touch sensitive 3 way lighting. Packaging was like Fort Knox which I appreciated and assembly was fairly straight forward. Great lamp.
Cool piece
Mary from Seattle– Verified Buyer
Great style and good value. It adds style to my modern family room and I like the one touch control. It turns on and off when you touch the base.
Beautiful lamp
Lindsay from NY– Verified Buyer
Bought this lamp as I needed a new lamp for my bedside table. I found it easy to put together and worked perfectly right out of the box. Excellent quality for the price!
Manufacturing isn't up to par
Dolly from Los Angeles
Its a cool lamp and looks great. Perfect for nightstands in a smaller room because they aren't too big. The shade fabric is substantial enough and doesn't look cheap or sheer. BUT I ordered 2 and 1 arrived with a shade that had split down the seam and the base threads wouldn't line up so I couldn't get the base screwed on more than halfway. The other one was perfect with only a minor imperfection in the shade (a blotch near the bottom seam) that I'm able to hide by turning it around. I need one for the other nightstand though and i'm a bit nervous that I'll get another dud that I have to return. It speaks volumes about the cool look though that I'm even considering it (if that helps).
Nice, Substantial, Modern Lamp
Carol from ,– Verified Buyer
This is a very stylish lamp that turns on just by touching the base. The only reason I am giving it four instead of five stars is that it was a little cumbersome to put together. But overall, very pleased with this purchase.
Nice, simple lamps
Jacqueline from New York, NY– Verified Buyer
Works as expected and looks good in my space. I would purchase again.
Nice Lamp!
Brian from Centennial, CO– Verified Buyer
Much higher quality than expected. Solid, heavy lamp. Nice looking lamp.
Beautiful lamp
Todd from san francisco, CA– Verified Buyer
sleek and contemporary. Love the simple lines. Looks great in the living room

After 12-year absence, Florida Panthers back in playoffs — where New Jersey Devils and Martin Brodeur await
If the Panthers are going to advance in the playoffs, they'll have to do what they couldn't in 2000 — find a way to beat a goalie who has hoisted the Stanley Cup three times.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
SUNRISE, FLA.—When the Florida Panthers last skated on post-season ice, they were swept away by Martin Brodeur.
A dozen years, eight coaches and a couple of hundred players later, the Panthers are finally back in the Stanley Cup playoffs. And even though the franchise's fortunes seem to finally be changing, maybe it's fitting that Brodeur — the NHL's winningest active playoff goalie by far — will again be the guy at the other end of the rink.
New Jersey and Florida play Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series on Friday night. There's a slew of subplots adding intrigue to this series, but the reality is that if the Panthers are going to advance, they'll have to do what they couldn't in 2000 — find a way to beat a goalie who has hoisted the Stanley Cup three times, owns two Olympic gold medals and has just about every record imaginable at his position.
"He's arguably one of the best playoff goalies ever," Panthers centre Stephen Weiss said. "Come playoff time, that's when he's usually at his best. So we'll have to get a lot of people in front of him so he can't see the puck and not try to show him too much respect. We've got to get in his face and make life difficult for him."
Brodeur has 99 playoff wins in his career. The Panthers, as a franchise, have 13.
But this year, coming off the first division title in team history, not only is Florida in the tournament, but it has home-ice advantage for at least the first round. And while this notion of playoff hockey may seem new to Florida fans, there's no shortage of Panthers with big-time playoff experience, a list including Mikael Samuelsson, John Madden, Kris Versteeg, Ed Jovanovski — part of the Panthers' run to the Stanley Cup finals in 1996 — and Brian Campbell.
"We're not green by any means," Panthers coach Kevin Dineen said.
Brodeur stopped 98 of the 104 shots he saw when the Devils and Panthers last met in the 2000 playoffs, a sweep that kick-started New Jersey's second run to a Stanley Cup, adding to the title claimed in 1995 and preceding another in 2003. The Devils haven't been past the second round since, even though they've topped the 100-point mark in the standings six times in the span, including this season.
"I am looking forward to the feeling of being in the playoffs. I think everybody is in this locker room," said Brodeur, who spent some of last year's post-season in Florida as well — heading south after the Devils failed to make the playoffs in 2011. "You play hockey to get in the playoffs and the chance to win the Stanley Cup, so when that is taken away from you, you are more eager to get back."
There's all sorts of familiarity between the teams.
Start with the Devils, who Pete DeBoer coached to 48 wins this season, though that was only good enough for fourth in the stacked Atlantic Division. DeBoer spent the previous three seasons in Florida, almost making the playoffs in his debut year, then seeing the team struggle big-time in his last two.
"It's nice to go back, but we did our pre-scout meeting on Florida and out of the 12 forwards in their starting lineup potentially on Friday, I coached two of them and that was a year ago," DeBoer said. "So, it's a different team, different time and we've moved on."
Much like Brodeur, Madden was a key part of past Devils' Stanley Cup-winning teams. Florida is Madden's third club in three seasons since leaving New Jersey but he still has plenty of friends in the Devils' locker room.
He takes summer vacations with some of them to this day.
"He's got three Stanley Cup rings, so obviously, I don't need to speak about his resumé," said Panthers goalie Scott Clemmensen, Brodeur's former backup in New Jersey. "It speaks for itself. But he's a veteran guy who's played a long time in this league and there's a reason why he's played a long time in this league. Very smart player on both ends of the ice. Very responsible. The Cup rings. It's an attitude that he brings as well."
Clemmensen himself may play a big role in this series. Dineen hasn't said who will start in net for Florida, a decision that he acknowledged would be tough between Jose Theodore — the No. 1 goalie for much of the season — and Clemmensen, who's been stellar over the last month.
"I think it's going to be a heck of a series," DeBoer said. "You look at them and they have undervalued depth. You look at their fourth line and they've got veteran Stanley Cup winners throughout their lineup. They've gotten great goaltending from both guys all year. It's going to be a real tough test for us."
With Brodeur in net, it'll almost certainly be a tough test for the Panthers as well.
Of the 16 playoff teams, Florida's 203 goals this season was the second-lowest, topping only Los Angeles' 194. The Panthers were outscored by 24 goals this season, making them the first NHL division winner to have a negative goal differential since Detroit in 1988-89 and the first to be outscored by that kind of margin since Chicago in 1978-79.
No big deal, the Panthers say. None of those stats matter now that second season is finally here.
"I'm excited," Versteeg said. "We get to play against a team with a lot of great players on it, and we get a chance to prove everyone wrong."

One thing that is sort of terrible when you live in Paris is that even though you think you are constantly discovering new things, you are basically just covering slight variations of your usual places. Obviously, I like Bohemian and countercultural areas, so often I go looking for more of the same. This is wrong.
So, last week I decided that I needed to go and look at places where I never go. Well, actually, I often needed to go to specfic points there, but you just rush in and out when you are certain that it is not your kind of place.
If anybody is interested, I very courageously rediscovered the 16th arrondissement: http://tinyurl.com/parisxvi

What interesting architecture, especially the red brick building with the staggered windows.
As most tourists, we have only been in the 16th to see the Musee Marmottan. As we exited the Metro we took a wrong turn and got hopelessly lost which did give a chance to see some interesting streets & buildings. After a while we entered a real estate office to get some help. The gentleman was very kind and spoke some English. He pointed us in the right direction for the museum. Sometimes getting lost is a good part of the adventure. We thought that we'd like to see more of the 16th and now we have through your photos. Thanks for posting.

your photos provide a fascinating insight into Paris, Kerouac.
my favourite was towards the top - the Honest Lawyer of course.

Wonderful, wonderful walks, Kerouac!
I wish you hadn't shown the pictures of the high end consignment shops, however. I know where I will find my wife on our next visit in October. Well, it is better than her looking in the full price shops.

Hi Kerouac,
Thanks so much for that swing through the 16th. Like TPAYT, my only experience in the area was going to the Musee Marottan-Monet which I thought was terrific.
Of course, the museum building is one of those "hotel particuliers" built originally by the Duke of Valmy as a hunting lodge near the Bois de Boulogne. Looking out the windows of the museum through its lovely grounds, I could see some beautiful apartments/residences. And such window treatments.
On the way out of Paris on our way to Normandy on our mundane Globus Tour, the tour director pointed out those many private streets in the 16th including the Villa Montmorency where Celine Dion lives. Even saw where Proust was born. Tres chic!

Great buildings. We had an Honest Lawyer in Ilkley until the local QCs all complained.
Gated communities, I hate them.

Great report - again - thanks so much. Last year in Paris I snuck into one of those private streets when someone was coming out, had a good sticky beak and then found myself locked in!! ooops, had to wait until another resident was coming in so I could sneak out again. A bit embarrassing. Love the area though,

To Kerouac- I don't know why, but this thread reminded me of something I clearly recall from several of my visits to Paris some years ago. I was staying in the 15th arr., I believe. Practially every day, I would pass a giant mural on the side of a building, which said, I believe, "the 20th century belongs to them", or something similar to that. As I recall, the mural was close to the little Statue of Liberty, near the Seine. The last time I went to Paris, the mural had disappeared. The mural had astounding paintings of the giants of the 20th century. It had likenesses of Churchill, De Gaulle, Louis Armstrong, Lindburg, Joe DiMaggio, Clark Gable, and many, many others in what looked like they were sitting in a large grandstand. The more I looked at it, the more I saw. There must have been a couple of hundred luminaries of the century, too much for my memory. I took several photos of this mural, but I cannot find them now. Do you remember this mural? If you do, what has become of it? Which idiot had the nerve to dispose of it? If you do remember, please let us know. I'm sure there is some history behind it, and if anyone knows, it has to be you. I probably will never go to Paris any longer, but I loved the city, and I surely will miss my large mural.

Another interesting report from you. I, too, have only been as far as the Marmottan in the 16th.
I'm curious as to why the French call some residential streets "villas." I noticed that's true also in the Mouzaïa. Can't find any such definition of the word in my Petit Larousse.

Waldo, if I am not mistaken, that wall was a giant advertisement for the RTL radio station. The reason that it no longer exists is because the Japanese cultural center was built on that spot.

It is, after all, the largest arrondissement.

The second largest after the 12th if the parks are included (Bois de Boulognne & Bois de Vincennes) and still the second largest if the parks are excluded--the 15th is then larger.

Thank you for yet another wonderful photo essay. Nothing beats a "stroll" through one of Paris' neighborhoods after a long day at work.
I stayed at the Marriott on Avenue Raymond Poincare last year and thoroughly enjoyed the location. Although I wasn't so fond of the 7 euros mint tea at one of the cafes in Place de Victor Hugo!

Thanks, kerouac. I was remembering my first time in the 16th, which was my first time to Paris as a student. I couldn't remember what Metro stop until I saw "Michel-Ange - Auteuil" in your report. That's it! My college professors lived there. No, they weren't rich. They lived in the tiniest apartment I've ever been in (and I used to live in Manhattan). In fact, they had to split the class in three, to have everyone over for dinner at some point during the semester. It was a beautiful building and block, though. I've been back a couple times since - chocolate shop, Marmottan, some other reason I can't recall...
I also enjoyed the East/West discussion, and agree that the Right Bank/Left Bank stereotypes are completely outdated. It's kind of interesting to know, though, that I just happen to stay in an arrondissement that aligns with my politics.

Wow, I'm surprised you dared the journey...

thanks as well for showing up a side of Paris so few tourists see - Bravo once again - keep it coming!

The Mississippi House passed three gun laws Tuesday which should, in theory, keep the government from seizing firearms during a state emergency. : In theory…
The House on Tuesday passed a trio of gun-rights bills – one to prevent local governments from buying guns to destroy them, another to make clear local governments can't seize guns during states of emergency or martial law and one clarifying state gun laws preempt local ordinances.
House Bill 485, passed unanimously, says cities and counties having gun buybacks must offer the guns for sale to licensed gun dealers and can junk them only after proving they are of no value.
House Bill 705, passed 112-2, would prohibit confiscation of personal firearms by local governments after emergencies or if martial – military – law has been declared. House Judiciary Chairman Mark Baker, R-Brandon, said there were reports of such in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina.
House Bill 314, passed 85-33 on Tuesday, would clarify that city and county governments "may not interfere with the right of citizens to possess firearms" and that state gun laws trump local ones.
Look, that's neat and all, but let's be realistic. : There's only one thing that's going to keep a motivated government from jacking your arsenal.
The power lies in the hands of the owner. : You either surrender, or you don't.
There's no law that matters when the government is lawless.

French Montana, Excuse My French
French Montana had a monstrous 2012, setting off the year with his turn on Rick Ross' "Stay Schemin'" and riding out the summer with his star-studded stripper anthem "Pop That." Many question if French can hold up without his A-list collaborators, but with his ear for beats and hooks — plus already confirmed album guests Kanye West and The Weeknd — we may be nodding our heads too hard to care.

MA hospitals mobilize on health cost bill
The Harvard-affiliated Partners HealthCare System Inc. has led the lobbying charge among hospitals deeply worried that the Massachusetts House Speaker Robert DeLeo's expansive 278-page plan to tame healthcare costs and other bills—intended to bring relief to consumers and employers struggling to pay high health insurance premiums—could harm their ability to provide high-quality care and cost jobs. Last year, Massachusetts hospitals and medical organizations spent $9 million on lobbying politicians, more than any other sector, reflecting both the industry's size and also the high stakes. Nearly $1 million of that total was spent by Partners, the largest provider network in the state with nine hospitals and 6,000 doctors.

U.S. routinely passed intelligence to Israel: Snowden
Whistleblower Edward Snowden also described software that allows computer experts to fake cyberattacks from other countries, according to magazine interview
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Whistleblower Edward Snowden says the United States routinely handed over unvetted intelligence on Arab-Americans to Israel while he worked for the National Security Agency.
In an magazineinterview with Wired magazine, he is quoted as saying he was shocked to learn that emails and details of phone calls of Americans with Arab and Palestinian backgrounds were passed over to Israeli intelligence.
"I think that's amazing," he says in the September edition of the magazine, which features Snowden on the cover, clutching an American flag. "It's one of the biggest abuses we've seen."
The rogue technology specialist, who worked for the CIA and NSA, also talks of software that allows blame to be shifted to innocent third parties in cyber warfare.
"You could have someone sitting in China, for example, making it appear that one of these attacks is originating in Russia. And then we end up shooting back at a Russian hospital. What happens next?"
In the interview, conducted in a Moscow hotel, Snowden, 31, tells of how he wanted to join the special forces after the 9/11 attacks, only to break both legs in training.
"I wanted to do my part," he says.
He had patriotic hopes when he began work with the NSA, he says, adding he would one day like to return to the U.S. from his Russian exile. He sought asylum in Russia in June, 2013 after releasing NSA documents to journalists the month before.
In the interviews, he paints himself as a disillusioned patriot, who had high hopes that American President Barack Obama would bring ethics to Snowden's spying.
"Not only did they not fulfil their promises, but they entirely repudiated them," he says. "They went in the other direction."

I'm laid back and open-minded, and I love to just hang out and have a good time. I love laughing, cuddling, smoking, reading, watching movies, painting, knitting, and having nice conversations. I'm shy and keep my defenses up at first, but once I decide if you're good for me, then I'll be your best friend. I have resting bitch face, but I'm actually very sweet. Also, I may be young, but I have my shit together, and I expect the same from my partner. To quote Liz Lemon, I'm actually a really goofy and "loveable curmudgeon."

The year's best mystery books
Seattle Times crime-fiction columnist Adam Woog's picks for best mysteries of 2008 include works by Tana French, Alan Furst, P.D. James, John le Carré, Richard Price and other authors whose books will keep readers turning the pages well into 2009.
Special to The Seattle Times
Choosing the year's best mysteries among all the books I've read this year is always tough — so many contenders, so little space! Still, we soldier on:
"The Likeness" by Tana French (Viking). A murder victim is the near-double of Dublin detective Cassie Maddox, and to find the killer Cassie "becomes" Lexie and joins her college roommates, concocting a story of survival. Truth and untruth then blur in this mesmerizing blend of cop story, character study and psychological suspense.
"The Spies of Warsaw" by Alan Furst (Random House). Furst still hits gold with his atmospheric, intelligent and heartfelt espionage novels set in Europe before and during World War II. Amid the chaos of Warsaw in 1937, the French embassy's military attaché protects a nervous German turncoat.
"The Private Patient" by P.D. James (Knopf). Top-notch work from a master. A journalist enters an exclusive hospital to lose a disfiguring scar — and is strangled in her bed after the operation. Enter Adam Dalgliesh, a Scotland Yard detective with a poet's soul, a keen eye for the truth and a steel spine. They don't call him Commander Dalgliesh for nothing.
"The Night Following" by Morag Joss (Delacorte). A driver accidentally kills an elderly bicyclist and leaves the scene. Overcome with guilt, she spies on the grieving widower, then starts sneaking in to cook and clean for him. The widower, increasingly unhinged, thinks his dead wife does the work. Psychological suspense at its most unsettling.
"Touchstone" by Laurie R. King (Bantam). In this smart and nuanced historical tale, an agent for the FBI's precursor hunts for an anarchist post-WWI. The search takes him to England and Bennett Grey, whose war injury gave him an unusual power — he knows, unerringly, if people are telling the truth.
"A Most Wanted Man" by John le Carré (Scribner). Espionage's reigning master chronicles the story of a Muslim refugee who feverishly insists that he owns a fortune concealed in a Hamburg bank. The intricacies of post-9/11 spydom around him pull a British banker and an idealistic German lawyer into this deft story.
"Another Thing to Fall" by Laura Lippman (Morrow). Smarty-pants private eye Tess Monaghan baby-sits a TV miniseries' wayward star. Tess — an irreverent, empathetic, and colorful storyteller — is a wonderful companion through Lippman's beloved Baltimore.
"L.A. Outlaws" by T. Jefferson Parker (Dutton). By night, a schoolteacher morphs into a high-end car thief. She loves educating teens almost as much as she loves donating much of her ill-gotten profit to charity. But this good bad girl enters a world of trouble when she stumbles on 10 dead guys and a fortune in diamonds.
"The Turnaround" by George Pelecanos (Little, Brown). Pelecanos is a virtuoso at finding the darker corners of love, loyalty, racism, rivalry and hope. Three white teens drive into a black neighborhood in D.C.; only two leave alive. Decades later the principals cross paths, with shattering results.
"Lush Life" by Richard Price (Farrar, Straus and Giroux). Price has two degrees in dialogue and a Ph.D. in deadpan humor, and this brash, brainy, emotionally fluent book is serious literature that is also a wicked pleasure. In Manhattan's Lower East Side, where gentrification is pushing out ethnic groups, criminals and housing projects, a single event — a street robbery gone bad — lights a fuse that ignites the whole city.
"Exit Music" by Ian Rankin (Little, Brown). Tough copper John Rebus, days from retirement, is still incapable of playing nice with authorities. Trolling the seamy edges of Edinburgh, he investigates the death of an expatriate Russian poet. A splendid end to Rebus' long, gritty career.
"Salt River" by James Sallis (Walker). Turner — ex-con and ex-therapist turned sheriff — is lounging around his Tennessee town, philosophizing with the local doctor, when the former sheriff's son crashes a car into City Hall. Hell of a note, and that's just the beginning of Turner's troubles in this lean, elegiac gem.
"This Night's Foul Work" by Fred Vargas (Penguin). Commissaire Adamsberg of the Paris police is a delight — sloppy, ironic and an intuitive genius at connecting seemingly random events. He grapples here with murdered drug dealers, an "angel of death," animal mutilations in rustic Normandy and a vengeful fellow from his past.
Honorable mentions
"Hit and Run" by Lawrence Block (Morrow); "Nothing to Lose" by Lee Child (Delacorte); "The Brass Verdict" by Michael Connelly (Little, Brown); "Sins of the Assassin" by Robert Ferrigno (Scribner); "Cold In Hand" by John Harvey (Harcourt); "House Rules" by Mike Lawson (Atlantic); "The Comforts of a Muddy Saturday" by Alexander McCall Smith (Pantheon); "Dirty Money" by Richard Stark (Grand Central); "The Big Both Ways" by John Straley (Alaska Northwest); "The Dawn Patrol" by Don Winslow (Knopf); "An Incomplete Revenge" by Jacqueline Winspear (Holt).

Sacha Baron Cohen Trolls Robert Mugabe
The Dictator — Sacha Baron Cohen's "eccentric totalitarian leaders of history"–mashup satire — is in theaters next week. Which means that, just as with SBC's Borat and Brüno before it, it's time for the elaborate in-character media blitz. You may recall Admiral General Aladeen spilling Kim Jong-Il's ashes on Ryan Seacrest during the Oscars (apparently, though, they were originally destined for George Clooney). You might have caught Admiral General Aladeen on SNL this weekend, torturing Martin Scorsese. And you possibly read up about Admiral General Aladeen's press conference in New York yesterday, in which he warmly welcomed the "devils of the Zionist media." And for his next trick — well, now he's messing with Robert Mugabe.
Earlier today, AP reporter Brett Zongker tweeted that he'd "Just received invitation from Zimbabwe's President Robert Mugabe for a premiere of 'The Dictator' at the presidential residence." Check it out below:
Looks pretty legit, right? So had Baron Cohen pulled off a massive stunt, and actually convinced someone at the Zimbabwe presidential palace to host a Dictator screening, possibly by skirting around any description of its content and/or its title and just vaguely declaring it a top Hollywood blockbuster?! Sadly, no. The Washington Post followed up, and found out that no one at the embassy or the ministry knew of the event. Still, though — pretty bold move, messing with a renowned real-life dictator like that! Sure, Baron Cohen is probably safe from the man's clutches, seeing as he isn't currently in Zimbabwe or anything, and therefore can't be thrown into any sort of deep bunker torture chamber. Personally, though, I sleep better at night knowing I'm not on any infamously oppressive world leader's radar.
Here's a question: How come Baron Cohen went with Mugabe to troll? Is Kim Jong-un not experienced enough? Is Mahmoud Ahmadinejad not powerful enough? Is Alexander Lukashenko too obscure? Would love to see the short list on this one.
