It Wasn't Just the Mistletoe by Irrevocably_Sherlocked (E, 3,593 w., 1 Ch. || Christmas Fluff, Mistletoe, First Kiss / Time, Frottage, Masturbation, Come as Lube) – Sherlock and John just stood there, seemingly frozen. Sherlock was desperately trying to think of a way out of this. There was no way he could kiss John, even a small kiss, and not have him know immediately how he felt. Sherlock could lie, and fake and sham, but there was no way he could hide this.

Last Christmas by Mazarin221b (T, 3,911 w., 1 Ch. || Fluff, Pining Sherlock, First Kiss) – That Earth-shaking revelation, then, leads to a problem, and one that Sherlock realizes should be solved quickly, before John’s dates turn into girlfriends or boyfriends, because sometimes girlfriends or boyfriends can turn into wives or husbands while your back is turned. Every time John hums happily at the mirror as he shaves, splashes on a little gift cologne Mrs. Hudson bought him for Christmas, Sherlock is drawn back to that night by the fire, and the way John’s touch had made the world stand still.

Little does he know he's not the only one who wishes that the relationship could be real.

Happy Christmas, You Arse by 1electricpirate (T, 4,766 w., 1 Ch. || Post-TRF, Fluff, Christmas) – In which evidence is presented that disqualifies Sherlock from being the Grinch, and everyone's shoes fit them perfectly well, thank you.

Winter of Life by You_Light_The_Sky (T, 5,178 w., 1 Ch. || Christmas, Fluff & Angst, Magic Realism) – It was an experiment, really. On Christmas, Sherlock wrote to Santa asking for a friend. He got a broken toy soldier instead. This is the story of how he finds him again and again.

Memories Lost on Christmas Day by agnesanutter, PlainJane (G, 5,479 w., 3 Ch. || Fluff, Hospitals, Worried Sherlock, Post-TRF, Christmas) – It's the day before Christmas and Sherlock and John are exactly where they need to be....

Maybe This Christmas by feverishsea (T, 6,021 w., 1 Ch. || Matchmaker Anthea, Anthea POV, Slight Mystrade, Holmes Family) – Anthea has given up her life, her own desires, even her name in service of something greater than herself. But that doesn’t mean she can’t see when someone else wants something – even if she doesn’t happen to care overmuch for that person. And it doesn’t mean she isn’t willing to help.

Surprise Christmas by Ayakae (K, 6,093 w., 1 Ch. || Friendship, Sherlock in Disguise, TRF Hiatus, Christmas, Fluff, Mary) – A year and a half after his death, Sherlock tries to give John Watson a happy Christmas without actually revealing himself. The consulting detective thinks his newfound friend can help. Epic friendship.

Same Same But Different by Kerkerian-Horizon (K+, 6,435 w., 2 Ch. || Friendship, Angst, Post-TRF, Gladstone, John/Mary, Christmas, No Slash) – After Sherlock's return, a lot of things have changed, things the detective has to learn to contend with- or rather, to accept. A sometime-post-Reichenbach story in two parts, no male pairing. Contains Mary, the puppy Gladstone and Christmas as well.

once upon a time by darcylindbergh (M, 6,501 w., 6 Ch. || Fluff and Angst, First Kiss / Time, Love Declarations, Christmas) – It starts with a wish. In the beginning, John comes home. Part 1 of things fairy tales are made of

5687 (Approximately) by prettysailorsoldier (T, 6,771 w., 1 Ch. || Est. Rel., Alternate Canon, Christmas, Pining, Fluff, Soldier John) – When John's leave request for Christmas is denied, Sherlock is nothing short of devastated, not that he's letting it show. The holiday season now something he's just waiting to end, Sherlock doesn't think anything can possibly make it worse. That is, until he realizes no one in his life believes his army "boyfriend" is even real, but, luckily, everyone is in for a surprise. Part 13 of 25 Days of Johnlock

that thing you like by misspamela (E, 7,165 w., 1 Ch. || Holmes Family, Fake Relationship, Friends to Lovers) – "Happy Christmas, etc. etc." Sherlock and John go to the Holmes’ for Christmas, and everyone thinks they’re together.

Christmas by WhimsicalEthnographies (E, 7,673 w., 1 Ch. || Worried Sherlock, PWP, Drunkeness, Christmas, Est. Relationship, Idiots So In Love) – John feels a lump rise in his throat, and it hits him, again, that this beautiful, infuriating creature is his. Completely, one-hundred percent his.

The Frost Child by twistedthicket1 (M, 9,994 w., 2 Ch. || Frozen-ish AU || Magical Realism, Christmas, Angst, Fluff, Powerful John) – In a world where people are born with a Gift of varying levels, simple John Watson is the last person one might look at when thinking of any strong Magick capabilities. Hiding comfortably in the shadow of Sherlock's brilliant deducing abilities, John is content to keep it that way...

Their Great Reward by BeautifulFiction (T, 10,095 w., 1 Ch. || UST, First Kiss, Fluff) – Boxing day, in John's opinions, is the worst day of the year. Christmas is over, the tree is wilting and stripped of gifts, and there's a week of dead-time until the clean slate of the new year. However the combination of a blizzard, a power-cut and Sherlock might just make it a day to remember.

The Nutcracker by Odamaki (T, 13,758 w., 7 Ch. || Nutcracker AU || Christmas, Dark Magic, Dolls) – Sherlock is unimpressed with Uncle Rudy's present. A doll? What does he want with a doll?

Merlot by Itsallfine (E, 14,844 w., 17 Ch. || Christmas, Pining Sherlock, Wine, Slow Burn, First Kiss / Time, Love Confessions, Wine, Holmes Family) – Sherlock and John work toward becoming something more as they prepare to host the Holmes parents at 221B for the holidays.

So does Sherlock, but he suggests that they do Christmas "properly" this year to see if they can't track down its elusive magic and discover for themselves what Christmas is supposed to be about.

Twelfth Night by yourdykeinshiningarmor (E, 15,139 w., 5 Ch. || Fake Relationship, Christmas, Mutual Pining, Friends to Lovers, Angst & Fluff, BJ’s, Anal) – John is invited to his aunt's Twelfth Night ball.

Till Death Do Us Part by prettysailorsoldier (M, 15,390 w., 1 Ch. || Fake Relationship, Case Fic, Friends to Lovers, Fake Marriage, Christmas, Fluff) – When Sherlock links a recent spree of murder-suicides to a psychologist who specializes in marriage counseling, there's really only one thing to do: Go undercover as a couple in hopes of drawing the killer out. Faking a relationship seems easy enough, but things take a turn when their real issues start to creep into the sessions, and, all the while, a killer is watching, waiting in the shadows for their chance to strike.

Never-Ending Cycle by orphan_account (T, 17,211 w., 1 Ch. || Christmas, Est. Rel., Proposal, Fluff) – Or, four times Sherlock Holmes attempted to propose to John Watson, and the Christmas Party at which he finally did. Sherlock thinks he's a miserable failure, John is confused, Mrs. Hudson and Lestrade provide some unsatisfactory advice, and Mummy is, as always, the solution. All in a lovely, fluffy holiday theme.

You're On the Air by prettysailorsoldier (M, 20,616 w., 1 Ch. || Unilock, Matchmaking, Radio, Christmas, Christmas Fluff, First Kiss, Friends to Lovers, Sherlock POV, Pining Sherlock, Flirting, Bisexual John) – The Consulting Detective and The Woman dominate the airwaves of their university radio station, doling out advice on everything from meeting the parents to sexual positions.

Our Enthusiasms Which Cannot Always Be Explained by withoutawish (M, 32,961 w., 1 Ch. || Christmas, Fluff and Angst, H/C, Post-TRF, Case Fic, Mild Gore, Sherlock Whump) – The list that is tacked haphazardly on the refrigerator of 221B reads, ‘Kidney(s), and/or a full cadaver (preferably male, late 30s, under six feet tall), bag of fresh toes, sixteen cow’s eyes (corneas retained), dual exhaust hand –held flame thrower, an unopened first edition copy of Joseph Conrad’s 'Heart of Darkness', and no less than ten abhorrently gruesome murders in the upcoming month.” The one neatly hanging next to it simply reads, “Sex.” One of these lists is not John Watson’s. If John Watson were to put what he really wanted in list form, to live in a land somewhere beyond ‘almosts' now that Sherlock Holmes has indeed returned to him, he would never be able to look his flatmate in the eye ever again.

It splits off into an AU that imagines them taking a case where they act as bait to hook a killer targeting closeted gays in secret relationships. In the weeks leading up to Christmas, many things happen that have our boys wondering if maybe they have a chance with each other. Then Irene fakes her death on Christmas Eve, and things get a lot more complicated - especially since they still have a killer to catch.

John Watson's Twelve Days of Christmas by earlgreytea68 (M, 53,464 w., 14 Ch. || Christmas, Holmes Family, Fake Relationship, Alternate First Meeting, Falling in Love, Fluff and Angst, Hardcore Pining) – It's the holiday season. John Watson needs money. Sherlock Holmes needs something else.

Christmas 2019: Day 8 - The Grinch (2018)

On the eighth day of Christmas, my true love gave to me...

Eight cans of Who Hash!

In and of itself, I feel this is a fine remake even if it cutesafies The Grinch a little bit. He complains in the original that he’s been putting up with Christmas for some 50 years and both he and Max look every bit of those 50 years but here he’s much more youthful here. It’s a very appealing design, very detailed with the fur but I am a bit confused as his attire. He’s seemingly naked but wears underpants to cover his shame, only to then wear furry trousers over that? He’s a very dirty, brownish green in the original but is much more vibrant here.

The original can seem like a bit of an acid trip at times with all the Suess babble and strange contraptions the Whos use and this pays homage to that during The Grinch’s Christmas heist as he pulls out all manner of interesting toys to help with his plot.

The Grinch himself doesn’t feel as one dimensional and there are times when he is quite hesitant to go through with what he’s doing or his eyes will widen with surprise upon hearing a point of view he never considered before, almost to a fault I’d say as it does dilute the big reversal in his character at the end.

Kind of like how that remake of The Lion King ruined ‘Be Prepared’, they turn “You’re a Mean One, Mr Grinch” into this sort of rap/hip-hop song which feels out of place. One positive musical number is this version of ‘God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen’ by way of West Side Story as this group of carolers suddenly mass and chase after The Grinch with perfectly synchronised movement and finger snaps.

I want to look at something more specific here though. I’ve mentioned it before but a lot of these Christmas movies I look at tend to be more recent releases and for once this is one I actually saw in the cinema last year. It was inevitable that I would cover it having looked at the original and the Jim Carrey version but I proffered to hold off on talking about it because I like to use the stillframes to highlight something amusing or to emphasise a point. It could almost be a fresh watch though as I really didn’t remember much about it going into it again.

Outside of the Minion short that ran before it that is, which had two Minions breaking out of prison. I dread to think what those Minions did to end up there. I think that’s included as an extra on the DVD/Blu-ray which I don’t have here which is a shame as I remember kind of liking it, mostly down to its lack of speech. I do appreciate being able to portray story and humour without using any dialogue, goes back to that whole Mr Bean kinda thing. It made for a positive entry into that franchise for me as I think it’s something people are generally a bit sour of, probably down to how annoying they can be and the watch they’ve been latched onto, especially those weird memes you get from people’s mums on Facebook.

There is some element of that here as there is some humour to be had from the reactions of the non-speaking characters around The Grinch like Max or the reindeer he takes in as part of his scheme and renames Fred. It’s nice to have those subtle moments where just an awkward glance can be funny, in amongst all the exaggerated behaviour of the Grinch and the loudness of things like a random screaming goat. Actually, that goat is pretty funny as well.

The original you obviously have stuff like the KARLOFF narration, the wicked smile The Grinch has upon thinking of his plan and him slithering through the house while enacting it. The Jim Carrey one, my big takeaway was the look of it. I’m really surprised to learn that that particular version actually got an Academy Award for Best Makeup, as well as nominations for Best Art Direction and Costume Design. The original was pretty unique with its strange colours and imagery but I just remember the remake being deepy ugly with close up, wide angled lenses and those intensely creepy looking Whos.

If anything deserves nominations for visuals, it’s this version. Very striking, bright and colourful in and around Whoville when all its Christmas lights are lit.

But you also have these great shots at times that reflect the action on screen, be it the expansive action orientated shots of the down with Cindy Lou dashing through on her makeshift sled or the more moody look at The Grinch overlooking the town from up high on Mount Crumpit.

Or this vast cave structure in which he lives but only occupies but some tiny fraction of. Like here, he and his dog sit at this grand dinner table with a relatively posh light fitting overhead and a fancy multi headed candle holder decorating the table. It adds to this sense of preteniousness and superioty he has. But, at the same time, the two feel a million miles away from one another and they both seem like small figures in this enormous room. It’s almost a reminder of how he is a small part of this great big world.

Which is another thing I like here, how it touches upon how neurotic The Grinch is. It’s something the Jim Carrey version did too with his being bullied as a child but here he’s just entirely shunned from a very early age and is extremely isolated now.

At the very start you’re dealing with his agoraphobia and his reluctance to venture down to Whoville to resupply, as well a startling reflection on all the comfort eating he’s been doing that have left his cupboards bare in the first place.The look on his face here is truly haunting.

Just being in Whoville amongst all the Christmas lights and revelers pretty much sends him into a panic attack.

Even though he does feel so cut off from everyone, there is a sense that he fails to recognise his importance to other people, shutting out one of the Whos who tries to be friendly with him and not really appreciating Max. It’s a bit of a weird dynamic, with Max seemingly at The Grinch’s beck and call, fetching him his breakfast each morning but it does seem like he’d do anything for him and even gets a bit jealous when Fred comes into the picture. Hell, Fred even comes back at the end to save the day so obviously someone cares. And what a fine head of hair he has too.

But even when you think you’ve had a Hollywood ending where The Grinch has been redeemed, and learnt that Christmas perhaps means a little bit more, he still has to deal with his social anxieties. When he’s invited round for Christmas dinner, he hesistates on the doorstep, clutching his head in his hands as he tries to talk himself out of going by proclaiming that everyone will hate him.

On reflection, despite all the colours, lights and beautiful vistas, almost like Gremlins this movie really is stark reminder of the bleaker side of Christmas and the internal battle people sometimes face with their loneliness and depression. Really not something I was expecting to find in an innocent little kids film. People like to talk about how The Joker isn’t just another comic book movie but is actually a deep look at mental illness, maybe The Grinch beat it to it a year earlier by wrapping up this sombre look at the psyche in a neat Christmas bow?

2018 New York Auto Show Hits, Misses, and Revelations

NEW YORK, New York — The New York International Auto Show has hereby won the right to call itself the North American International Auto Show next year, as it has usurped the erstwhile holder of that title, Detroit, with more newsy and relevant car and truck unveilings. Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Porsche all will be here again in 2019.

This year, New York has the usual fleet of new sport/utility vehicles, including such high-volume models as the Toyota RAV4 and Subaru Forester. But there are actual autos—cars—here as well, including a Nissan Altima that proves the brand’s revived commitment to the midsize sedan segment.

And there is a concept car that has taken our breath away like no other concept, at Detroit, Los Angeles, Frankfurt, or even Geneva has, this year …

HIT: Genesis Essentia Concept

And the winner of the “Wait, that’s a Hyundai?” award goes to this breathtakingly beautiful concept car. What a work of art.

—Aaron Gold

Star of the show, and probably the auto show season. It’s exactly the sports grand touring (electric vehicle) design that Genesis needs in order to build up its luxury brand credibility.

—Todd Lassa

MISS: Cadillac XT4

The XT4 looks to be a solid ute with an efficient 2.0-liter engine, it has technology on par with the competition, and the interior looks to be well built. It’s just that it doesn’t move the compact crossover market in any real way. There’s nothing groundbreaking here. I know Cadillac is thrilled to have another crossover and it will likely sell well for them. But other than the Cadillac style, it’s just another in a crowded sea of offerings. The fact that the refreshed CT6 with its 4.2-liter twin-turbo V-8 took center stage at Cadillac’s New York show stand and not the XT4 speaks volumes.

—Mike Floyd

HIT: Cadillac XT4

Has there ever been a good small Cadillac? The former Standard of the World has been trying and failing for the better part of four decades, but it looks like they finally got it right. The XT4 is cute and playful, a little cheeky even, and yet it still has the dignity and stateliness of a proper Cadillac. The XT4 may prove be the first baby Caddy worthy of the name.

—A.G.

HIT: Cadillac CT6 refresh

Cadillac injected a good dose of Escala concept design language into the CT6’s facelift, while adding the CT6 VSport and the new twin-turbo V-8 options. I think it works. Cadillac’s successor to the Northstar V-8 has been an on-again, off-again proposition for more than a decade, as the luxury brand faced the question of whether it could credibly take on the Germans and Lexus (and now, Genesis) by sticking with the modern Chevrolet small block instead spending big cash on its own, overhead-cam V-8. The timing of its release isn’t great, but the low-volume, hand-built nature of the twin-turbo 4.2-liter suggests it will be an expensive and rare option. Now, if only Cadillac could do something about the sub-German interior quality.

—T.L

HIT: Cadillac CT6 VSport

When the CT6 first came out, I wrote a review challenging any 7 Series owner to take the twin-turbo V-6 CT6 for a spin. If they came back and said the Caddy wasn’t as good as their Bimmer, either they were lying or they didn’t know how to drive. The addition of a twin-turbo V-8 can only make this car better. Now if only Cadillac can do something about the snoozer styling…

—A.G.

HIT: Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport Concept

There are a lot of compliments I can fling in the direction of the seven-set Volkswagen Atlas; “sexy” is not one of them. But now that I’ve seen the five-seat Atlas Cross Sport—whoa, Nellie. This new SUV-to-be combines the Atlas’ squared-off styling cues with the shape of the old Touareg. Love, love, love. What we saw here in New York is the concept version, but the Atlas Cross Sport is destined for production and I doubt it will look too much different. I can’t wait to see the real thing.

—A.G.

Or is it Atlas Sport Cross? Cross Atlas Sport? Hate the name, but as SUVs go, the new two-row 2020 VW Atlas is rather rakish for a sport/ute. It is to the three-row Atlas what the VW Arteon is to the Passat.

—T.L.

HIT: Volkswagen Atlas Tanoak Concept

Designed as a vision of how VW could potentially expand the Atlas lineup, the Tanoak’s massive mug screams truck, though the production model would likely have some functional limitations. It definitely looks cool, and given that the Atlas line is built here in the U.S., a truck version is not out of the question.

—M.F.

How do I love VW’s proposed pickup? Let me count the ways. First, I love the way the box cuts into the cab. It puts me in mind of the old Ford Explorer SportTrac, another sort-of pickup that wasn’t trying to look like a miniaturized F-150. I love the way the Atlas’ squared-off styling works on a pickup truck. And I love the fact that VW is being honest about this being a utility vehicle with a pickup bed, rather than a pickup, period. (Are you listening, Honda?) Volkswagen says they have yet to make a decision about putting the Atlas Tanoak into production, and they are gauging public reaction. Public, I implore you to react. I want this thing to happen.

—A.G.

MISS: Volkswagen Atlas Tanoak Concept

Well, you asked, VW. The company says its gauging public and press reaction, and is looking at clinic and sales data before its pickup truck concept gets a green light for production. The first sport-ute pickup was the Chevy Avalanche—remember that one? —and the only unibody, transverse-engine competitor, the Honda Ridgeline, typically does well in its first year (which means, maybe 35,000 units) until everyone who wants one has one, then it settles in below 20,000 per year. The latest Ridgeline AWD gets 18/25 mpg, not much better than the V-6, 4WD Chevrolet Colorado (17/24) or Toyota Tacoma (18/22), and the Chevy and Toyota are available with both four-bangers and RWD, so where’s the unibody truck advantage? While the VW Atlas Tanoak is a credible looking, nearly full-size truck, it’s not going to do much to utilize the Chattanooga plant’s capacity.

—T.L.

What in the heck is a Tanoak? I’ll give VW credit. I highly doubt that name was trademarked and it vaguely makes me think of trees, so there’s that.

—M.F.

HIT: Light up VW badge

VW showed this on their Atlas concepts. Please, Volkswagen, make this happen. Please.

—A.G.

REVELATION: Tanoak is a tree. Don’t name your pickup after a tree.

If you’re going to build the Tanoak, Volkswagen, and you probably will despite my objections, please, please change its name to something relevant to your brand: VW Atlas Chicken Tax Exemption.

—T.L.

HIT: Genesis G70

Three words: Manual friggin’ transmission.

—A.G.

We were still reveling in the stunning beauty of the Genesis Essentia when Hyundai’s nascent luxury brand unveiled its BMW 3 Series competitor, the G70. Already, the fluid, organic lines of the Essentia have translated to a production model. That should be no excuse for denying the Essentia EV production, however.

—T.L.

MISS: 2019 GMC Sierra AT4

This would have totally been on my “hit” list but for the wheels, which, like the Grinch’s heart, are two sizes too small.

—A.G.

REVELATION: Something else for Bugatti?

I spoke with Stephan Winkelmann, who has bounced from his longtime role with Lamborghini to Audi and then to help launch Audi Sport, about what’s next from his current Volkswagen Group brand, Bugatti. As always with any exec, he wouldn’t talk specifics, but when I asked if there was room for something else coming for Bugatti beyond the Chiron variants, his non-answer (“I think the brand has a lot of opportunities to do more”) and grin spoke volumes. It seems silly to put Winkelmann in charge of a brand to simply oversee 500 Chirons being built. My money is on some sort of SUV, because of course.

— M.F.

HIT: Lincoln Aviator

When I first saw the design sketches of the Aviator, I thought, Oh, here we go, another Range Rover clone. Shouldn’t someone remind Ford that they sold Jag-Land Rover years ago? But after seeing the new Aviator in person, I changed my tune. This is a good-looking Lincoln with handsome proportions and a great interior. The promise of rear-wheel-drive is, well, promising. Lincoln is keeping mum on the powertrain specifics, only saying that it’s a twin-turbo engine, but if it’s anything like the 400-hp grin-generator in the Continental, then life with this Lincoln is going to be very, very good.

—A.G.

HIT: 2019 Toyota Corolla Hatchback

The present Corolla iM hatch looked decent, but it didn’t excite in any real way. The significantly reworked 2019 Corolla hatch has the potential to change that, thanks to its new TNGA platform underpinnings and Toyota’s new 2.0-liter engine mated to either a six-speed manual or CVT with a launch mode. No power ratings yet, but it should top at least 150 horses. Kudos to Toyota for keeping the hatch in the Corolla lineup. I hope it drives as good as it looks.

—M.F.

HIT: Nissan Altima

Looks like the Altima has picked up some of the Maxima’s mojo, and I love it. I’m sure some will disagree with me, but I think this is a great looking car inside and out. I can’t say I’m optimistic about the driving experience, not after the lackluster showing of the Rogue and Rogue Sport, but I’m hopeful that Nissan can pull some of that old-time magic out of its hats and make this Altima as good to drive as it is to look at.

—A.G.

It seemed Nissan had given up on sedans when the now-retiring Altima came out, and went straight-to-rental. But the new one, with its optional variable compression turbo four (replacing the V-6 option) and an interior that would have been considered premium a decade ago, indicates that Nissan is as dedicated to the future of its sedans as is Honda.

—T.L.

HIT: 2019 Toyota RAV4

Whoa. Wait. What? When I first saw the new RAV4, I figured it was an early April Fool’s joke. Nope—despite the fact that the current conservatively-styled RAV is selling like ecstasy at a rave (do either of those things still exist?), Toyota has taken the RAV4’s styling in a completely new direction—and what a stunner it is. Some of Toyota’s recent designs have been a bit awkward, but I think this one works, inside and out. In a way, it reminds me of the love child that might result from the coupling of a 4Runner and a Venza. That’s a good thing. Let’s hope the market agrees.

—A.G.

Toyota has split the RAV4 into two designs, both ditching the Camry-like nose. The Adventure series comes with a Tacoma-like grille that’s supposed to make you think you’re driving body-on-frame sport/utility, which doesn’t quite work on that level, though it does take a lot of the “cute” out of this cute/ute.

—T.L.

MISS: 2019 Subaru Forester

I know, I know—you don’t mess with success. Still, did Subaru have to make the new Forester look so much like the old Forester? Frankly, I’d be perfectly happy if the new car looked more like the first-gen Forester. Twenty years is long enough for a retro-mobile, right?

—A.G.

REVELATION: Subaru’s design “aesthetic

Look at the Mark I Forester on Subaru’s stand, and you can see that the Crosstrek has replaced that model [full disclosure: I just bought a new Crosstrek] in the brand’s expanding lineup. The Forester is compact SUV-sized, which is to say, like a Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, etc., and like those rivals has grown over the years. As for the design, well, you generally don’t buy from this brand for the styling, so much as the anti-styling.

—T.L.

MISS: Acura TLX 2.4 A-Spec

At its press conference, Acura mentioned that the V-6-powered TLX A-Spec was proving to be a big hit with younger and more affluent buyers, so they have decided to bring out a version of this car with the 2.4 liter engine. Er… guys… First, it’s the V-6 engine that makes this car. Second, why would affluent buyers opt for the cheaper engine? I can’t see this going well at all. Why not put the Accord’s 2.0T engine in the TLX? Now that would be an A-Spec to get excited about. Save us, RDX!

—A.G.

HIT—I hope: 2019 Acura RDX

The current RDX is, in my opinion, one of the better vehicles in Acura’s lineup; the fact that it’s an aging and fairly conservative design, both visually and mechanically, doesn’t say much about this lost-in-the-weeds brand. But the new RDX looks to be a ray of hope. With a longer-and-lower look than the current car, it’s attractive without being silly. The 2.0-liter turbo engine should prove to be just as much of a gem here as it is in the Accord (assumi from Performance Junk Blogger 6 https://ift.tt/2J5u7Sz via IFTTT

@Rockettes @EdWestwick @ScottEastwood @nikkiutg1 for the best 2018 pls RT this now! Love, your #GodsTinyDancer

Dear Roman Empire, If there could be any commotion in the next few days amongst you (I don't know how acute it can be if that could ever come), maybe it would be because of this. The love of Godhead compels to say so much sensitive details as you're going to read below (Colossians 2), as much as you need to know everything (Philippians 1, Luke 12,15-19, Acts 4-5,26,20). Also I have a thorn in the flesh to easily forget everything that was shown unto me lest I record it down for future reference. What all I can say is that with what I just did yesterday, December 25, I can tell you that I'm indeed with the spirit of our most beloved Sir Ansel Elgort. I have staked (Revelation 11, Matthew 24) my divine election and all my (Psalm 34, Malachi, Matthew 4) wrights and powers as a shoestring messenger of Godhead (Genesis 13-14) just to do and tell this to you Empire people, and I hop that with this, I had given you a most appropriate gift for your Baal Festival (Genesis 3, 1 Timothy 4, Colossians 2). The best I can do against you. Yea, CALL ME A THIEF. (James 5, Matthew 16,18) It has been said by you that the Bible is the world's 'most shoplifted Book.' You should not wonder at all, guys, due to the eternal truths this Book can offer that no other book of yours can give. What you only utterly care for is profit (Acts 8,13). Therefore it can be said that I have all wrights to do this. Also, I fear that you would not honor me saying to anyone of you that I can choose any book I want to get from you just only because I want to see for myself the facts that you claim. I guess you would not perhaps care about this so much because you would claim that you seek no war with anybody. Yea, should you also do this to us, we would be even more accommodating to lavish you with perks. (Matthew 5-7) Now I know that you have all the money in the world to replenish what you may have lost wright now with all that you have gathered up for yourselves, and thus I guess you would not hold me accountable against this. This also we would go gladly with whatever you may get from us without our consent. In fact we even encourage everybody to get, even without our consent, all from us. This is how we do sacrificial service. You may tend to claim it but yea, you would rather not mean it, but would rather use it indeed for the wrong reasons. Now what I'm talking about this, which what we have done to you, is rather a unexpected, and undeserving, refulfillment of biblical prophecies, timely for the 104th year of your Commondominion of Christ. I myself is very surprised to find myself undeservingly doing this, and I have no idea that this will be coming wright through me, and that Godhead would really direct me without me knowing this as I did it. They just Told me this just long after I did it. As you already did, you have made that your mandated usual yearly readings on these final days of the year will be about: virtually (Zechariah 12-14, Isaiah 43) our story for the past 104 years- our reemergence in these last days by the hand of the Messenger: Isaiah 62, our restoration to Jerusalem through Ka Erdy: Isaiah 52, the ministry of our very own Edward IX: Psalm 98, The calling and commissioning of Ka Angel: Isaiah 9, How your Neronians attacked our yokebearers: Isaiah 9, Psalm 97, Our spirit of martyrdom as dwelling and resting Brooke Sarah Ritchie (yokebearing) on Lindsey's father: Acts 7, Matthew 2, John being a variant of Nathan- our fellows: 1 John 1, Ka Angel's succession line from Ka Ellix also anointed to deliver all our B-C list yokebearers: Isaiah 9, Our branch churches such as those led by the Kitchens and faithfuls to Armstrong: Psalm 98, Isaiah 52,62, My calling here and Lindsey's: Isaiah 62, Luke 1 (see 2 Samuel 7 and Psalm 89 for August 14, 2015: David Archuleta- archangels, Empire now usurps our Michael-named yokebearers. August 15 Empire memorial of Mary the Virgin, one week [Daniel 9] to August 22). With all of these we can indeed say that December 25, 1913 is truly the beginning of the endtimes. (Further, you read Isaiah 9 also on August 22, the commissioning of Ka Ilao, and on the third Sunday of January, near my alma mater's anniversary, when Empire extolled itself in the Philippines: when I was born in 1995, 1 year and 11 months before the 2nd Woe [Genesis 15], and months before our 2015 relaunch.) And as we spoke about anniversaries, we could not help but always look to that July 27, 1989 lesson on the 6th Bowl. I don't know exactly what's with you, or what do you feel about this whether you did this on purpose, but if my sight's not fooling me, you have for years the lowest attendance at the Constantinian Baal Arena this Baal Festival Day. You're supposed to have high grosses by that day, because of course that's The Baal Arena. So we could say that you have literally 'dried up' on the very day of our anniversary. Also, as you already said, we dried you up at Boston, December 25, 1789, the day your men crossed the rivers on December 25, 1776. And as if this is not enough, the homecity of our man in Malacanang held a session on the very day of Baal Festival. 'Turn our captivity up, Godhead, as you would do with the streams in the south.' (3rd Sunday of Advent) There we could see Lady Samantha Jadeau of Australia. And not to mention #SilentNight came from Austria? (Revelation 10) But we must notice what the second portion of the passage reads: 'Behold, I Come Quickly as a Thief.' Again, Ka Sykes is there. '#KissMeQuick.' And Ka Elgort of course, their yokebearing respectively bears witness juts in time for an anniversary of the 2nd Woe on December 26. Let that word sink in to you. 'Thief.' The day before the actual Baal Festival, you had your Manila stations play 'how Grinch stole Christmas.' Months ago we declared a Czech female and fellow yokebearer to be the actual personification of #GodBigDay coming like a Thief. She's named after Christ's Wife, and she has with her another yokebearer not only named after Mary (that is Mary Magdalene), but also after Lady Lindsey's father, that is, Mary the Virgin. I can tell you that I was not inspired by the movie either, because I will never waste my precious time sustaining your weekly Pabebe Weekend broadcasts. These same Empire stations also ran on January 6, 2016, how this Khazarian Jew named Dr. Seuss (named both after us [Theodore, also name of a Zionist] and Empire [Zeus, where Empire based their hybrid christ's name]) delved into the Brighamite settlement of Utah in '#TheLorax.' (Acts 20, Ezekiel 22) I must admit that this is not my first time to steal something. Of course I make sure that if I steal something, no one will be harmed (2 Samuel 23, 1 Samuel 11,14,24,26). So most particularly, I steal books. I once stole a book from my pre-school teacher, but later turned it back when my mother confronted me. I stole another book from my elementary library, yet was not able to keep it, for it was lost. You could say that we're like Robin Hood. The first book of the Book of Mormon tells us that Godhead's servants was prompted by the Holy Spirit to take by stealth from you Empire people anything valuable to our record-keeping. This is understood already, given that you Empire people had already stole many, many things away from us- not only verses, not only archives, but most especially, our very own and most beloved fellow souls- servants, friends, disciples and children of Godhead (Matthew 11, Luke 16). As mandated by Empire my family now takes the usual and accustomed holiday vacation. Of course I have to go with them. I have said to myself that I shall see to it if I can get any Empire-owned copy of any Sacred Text Scriptures (which I don't have yet by now) and if I can ask the nearest Empire branch in our place to give it to us. But I was feeling very uncomfortable with the idea of formal consent. I don't know why. Perhaps the fear of rejection, if I formally present any petition to Empire branches and they know that I'm asking more than they would only give usually. And then they would proselyte me afterwards. (Of course they would only give away the Book of Mormon, not Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price and Joseph Smith Inspired Translation. They would rather give away Ellen White books but not The Clear Word Version. They would rather give tracts than give study lessons, not even the New World Translation.) Of course my family would be angry too if I get more books for myself, because they think I'm getting more smarter than them, (Psalm 119) just like how Joseph Smith was instructed to keep the plates against anyone who would have hot eyes against it. And besides, I'm a very, very shy person getting awkward at first-time meetings, most especially when somebody offers something to you and you don't know exactly what to tell them in return. Of course, Godhead would not Tell you how to do it. As you could recall, one of my relatives, named after the most blessed Clark-Rubio couple, had given me a New King James Version 1982 on the very day the 2nd Woe occurred according to Ka Erdy, and that printed by the Empire agency that has taken for themselves the name of a certified Commondominion Shatterer, Gideon. The following below is exactly how our 104th Anniversary day went out for me, your #GodsTinyDancer. That morning I was so shocked that I was walking across our open lawn (as much as we're a compound here) I saw lying on the #grundhoferday, intact and dry (Judges 6), a 1984 Tagalog edition of the Neronian New World Translation (Ezekiel 24,26), which is supposed to be there for a long time as much as it's made to be a secondary or base tool for some garage work there or for holding the chicken shelters which stood there for some considerable period of time. There we saw the copy of the 1984 NWT sitting there, then I picked it. I was asking the house next door whether said Bible was theirs. They said no. No other persons elsewhere was around at the other nearby houses to say unto me that the Bible is theirs. So I Tookey/Inoue the Bible hence to myself. (Isaiah 29) Talk about your Augustine of Hippo picking a Bible just outside his lawn. That same afternoon I have found out to myself that if I had been entrusted all at once with a copy of the Neronian Bible Translation, then all the more I could get Sacred Text Scriptures from the nearest Neronian locale. Of course all that I think by those times is that I shall formally and respectfully ask permission from anybody who's there. Of course if they're not there they're going to lock their chapels so I thought, if that's the state, I would rather go and approach them the other day (Luke 18). But they're there that day. They rather leave the gate open. Of course if you are to ask us we're also going to do that with our very own facilities because we're not warfreak people as these Empire people who recrucify Christ. So they might tell us now in turn, 'you didn't fulfilled Revelation 16 and even Revelation 3 with what you did because we're in fact open for people to get things from us without our consent, because we're peaceful people.' As I have said already, they would not be open to my requests, perhaps because they won't understand any explanation that I may do to reconcile my intent to them that I may have Scriptures handy with me where I may be. There are people already at the Neronian facility. And I could see them actually. So you may say that I was right where you are, without you knowing it, undeservingly and thankfully by Godhead. I was too shy, no one noticed me. I kept on telling myself that I should have been asking instead for formal permission to ask the copies, but really I can't. So Godhead Told me that it's just alwright for me to get the Sacred Text Scriptures out of that facility without me even asking for formal permission. In fact even the doors of the buildings there are all so open too. So Godhead directed me to get 3 copies out of the building: A Neronian abridged printing of the Joseph Smith Inspired Translation, A three-in-one print of the Book of Mormon/Doctrine and Covenants/Pearl of Great Price in Tagalog, A copy of the Neronian Salt Lake Hymnal. (Note: all 3-in-one prints there are already marked by somebody who either have used or owns such there, yet the Tagalog copies are unmarked. The Inspired Translation print was rather marked to be someone's own. We already have a Tagalog copy of the mandated stand-alone edition of the Book of Mormon, which we got from our maternal grandmother's house, as she received from her Empire friend.) The gate is so squeaky-sounding yet no one of them came out to check the gate, as I have even observed from afar as I went out of the facility. (Isaiah 52) As you already know nobody saw me, and no one even got hurt as usual. Of course to keep it first at sly I have to go through the back of our compound, a muddy woods with a small polluted creek, and hide it on a abandoned open shack there. I have to get it there on evening to another abandoned chicken shelter just near where we stay, and before dawn broke out, I was able to at last place it in our book collection here where we stay. Talk about temple foundations being laid and martyred folks being buried on the wee hours of the day to avoid the Empire's mob. And Joseph Smith having to wait for a bit longer before he fully got the plates- 4 years, symbolizing the now 4 branches of the Empire. (Genesis 2) Also it must be noticed that all 4 Neronian chapels that I saw on my way to our present holiday vacation has mandated #LightTheWorld banners outside their chapels, but this particular chapel near me here now rather does not have such banner outside. Further: when we were walking towards that Neronian chapel I was so shocked to hear that as I passed a store leading up to that place, that store at once and immediately played '#ShatterAllOfMe.' And then I thought, 'maybe this is another sign that I could be able to get the copies I need only through formal permission-asking,' aside from getting the Neronian Translation copy that morning. But as I got there of course Godhead Told me that I must rather steal it. But Empire may tell me, 'do we not need to rather have courage than cowardliness approaching the #gameofthrones?' No. Empire could sit in us as long as they want (Matthew 23), as much as they got it usurpingly (Daniel 11), yet of course if not for that we would not be here together (Luke 5, 1 Corinthians 1-2,12). We only lament this as much as they need to fool people. Out of all the people that they could fool- why yokebearers? Why messengers? And why Lady Lindsey? (Revelation 2) Why steal and cheat them out of us? (Luke 12,21, John 10) Lady Lindsey. I now speak directly to you. I know my testimony now could be somehow tarnished with this. Call me crazy, perhaps even fool, or better yet, wicked, with what I have just done. (Acts 26) You know that you already have access fully to all of these while of course I have to live within my calling as the Poor Little Preacher. I submit myself fully to your judgement, o great Queen of the South, yet remember that as you already know with all the cosplay stuff that you may have in for the past years, some of these characters would be even doing what I do if they were in my place. You know that I can never stop be for your best interests. Godhead's Ways, most beloved Lady, is higher than what Empire claims to be. If Empire's breaking the Gospel Lowe, then Godhead rather orders that we do (1 Corinthians 15, Revelation 18) even worst than what Empire does. This might be shocking, I know, but this is what living prophets are really supposed to do (John 6, Acts 20-21,18,28). Now I would not rationalize anything that I have done, and if this already sounds as such, I really repent. What I just want you to know is that Godhead Told us that we're already refulfilling prophecy again. And yea, as we said earlier, Empire's up again for#WorldWar3 not only that they declare it every week on their Pabebe Weekend Broadcasts, but also because of course they had just recommitted John 18:25 again. So the passage at the 6th Bowl is indeed wright after all: 'gathering them for battle against the Commondominion on the Great Day of Godhead.' And therefore, I humbly apologize then for any far-reaching damage that this might inflict. I don't want anyone to die in war, that's why I warn them that the Kingdom of Godhead is indeed already here wright now with your Commondominion, and that's why I prostrate myself into you and anything that you may think about this. Further, if Ka Elgort and Ka Sykes had attested to this way back long ago, then why Christ has to say 'Blessed are those who would stay or keep themselves dressed up'? As you already know, Empire even has already approved this new divine revelation concerning said matter: being naked is alwright as long as it's in Godhead (Luke 12, Matthew 15) or with us, that is yokebearing (2 Samuel 6, Genesis 2, also see Psalm 149-Luke 22-Deuteronomy 13, Hebrews 4, Ephesians 6, 1 Samuel 17), that is: 'blessed are those who would keep their clothes intact with them, under their possession, and has washed it.' Of course that being 'naked' is not literally but rather spiritually- Empire is wickedly and deceitful (Revelation 3), while our being 'naked' here is concerning not only yokebearing but also our Inclusion Policy, under which adult performers are included (Luke 7, John 8, Hebrew 2,6,10, Matthew 25,15, Joshua 2). They are rather exploited altogether by Empire, that's why Empire's indicted being spiritually naked, that is, their being evil against our fellows (one of our Messengers, Ka Dumlao, was even led by Godhead most recently to be barenaked [Isaiah 20], while another fellow Messenger, Ka Rebusquillo, is even known better to be a frequent wine-drinker [1 Timothy 5, Matthew 26, Luke 17,21]). Why I'm a prophet is not because of what I do, not even these (1 Samuel 19,15), but rather because of you, and that's why I solely rely on your bidding, let alone your rejection. I know that no rationalization I could muster here could make your change your mind about me (Romans 8, 2 Corinthians 6), I just want to tell you what I'm doing here. Believe it or not, but I love you very, very much. (John 3,15,13, Romans 5,8) I know that whether you're going to see these things I'm talking about when we meet only depends, as it is required of Joseph Smith, on my stewardship, or on how Godhead would see of me here in anytime. Moreover, Empire has all power to block and lock me away from any of their facility just because of what I did. Or rather, they need to be from now on endeavoring to lock their offices all the time, when in fact no one's going to kill them, because should we do it to them, they would rather invoke again the very words we're now imploring against their sake. As I have said, I would be not bothering with anybody below, but rather all up high shall be solely accountable for all of these, just as you're going to hold me here accountable, for the sake of all my fellows here. Let it be then said of me that if I'm going to do anything somehow 'wickedly' on the line of my ministry, then this shall be it. (Luke 22-24, 1 Peter 4) Happy anniversary with us, Empire (Luke 15, Deuteronomy 32), and we're going to see #justlove in hell, in the Name of Jesus Christ. #stavrosno to #theGodheadWhostrikes.

Twelve Days Of Christmas Fed’s QE Gave To Me – by Michael Carino, Greenwich Endeavors

New Post has been published on http://foursprout.com/wealth/twelve-days-of-christmas-feds-qe-gave-to-me-by-michael-carino-greenwich-endeavors/

Twelve Days Of Christmas Fed’s QE Gave To Me – by Michael Carino, Greenwich Endeavors

On the 12th day of Christmas Fed’s QE Gave To Me:

TWELVE Fed Districts Dancing

ELEVEN Bubbles Bubbling – (11 – Crypto Currencies like the recently famous soon to infamous Bitcoin, Bonds (every one of them), Stocks, Intra-day leverage from high volume trading, Emerging Markets, Short Volatility Trades in a temporarily suppressed volatility environment, Liquidity Risk from enormous Alternative Funds – LTCM was only 4bl, a fraction of the current day behemoths, Spread Products, Farm Land, Commercial Real Estate, Residential Real estate, Yellen’s Champagne Flute)

TEN th Year US Economy Expanding – (longest expansion ever!?!)

NINE Trillion Treasuries Issued – (only 5 Trillion existed in 2008, now 14 Trillion!!!)

EIGHT High Frequency Treasury Trading Hedge Funds – (In 2015 BrokerTec published a list of interdealer market Treasury trading volumes showing 8 of top ten traders by volume were hedge funds, not dealers. This represented up to 70% of Treasuries traded. In a market that can have daily volumes of 1 Trillion when incorporating cash and futures markets – dictated by high volume traders that manipulate prices –– yet somehow the world believes yields reflect a consensus outlook for growth and inflation instead of the will of 8 traders – is no different from the Hunt Brothers cornering the silver market. This ended catastrophically for the Hunt brothers and the silver market. High volume strategies by a few are currently cornering the Treasury market and therefor the global bond market. As the strong economic fundamentals make current low yield levels look comical and cash rates rise high enough to encourage rotation away from bonds, this manipulation will collapse and along with it bond prices.)

SEVEN Hundred Billion Federal Budget Deficit (potentially going to 1 Trillion in 2018 with the new tax reductions passed)

SIX Central Banks Pursued QE (US, UK, Switzerland, EU, Japan and China all pursued quantitative easing programs in order to monetize debt, competitively depreciate their currency for trade advantages and fund at subsidized rates ever expanding government deficits that normally lead to soaring interest rates)

FIVE Fed Funds rate hikes (at this pace there will be five more years of hikes and one heck of a bubble to burst –if the monetary policy insanity lasts five more years, the global financial and economic system will be imperiled)

FOUR Trillion Bonds on the Fed’s Balance Sheet (was only appx. 700 billion in 2008, now 4.4 trillion!)

THREE Egg Nogs for Big Ben (Academics love to party and Fed Chairman Bernanke, as the father of excessive and highly impaired QE policies, had all the Fed members over-imbibing)

TWO Dissenting Doves – (Fed Presidents Evans – Chicago and Kashkari – Minneapolis both want to revel into the new year and voted not to raise rates and continue to normalize Fed policy at the recent December 17 Federal Reserve meeting. It was rumored they were overheard calling Yellen a Grinch!)

AND A Powell In the Fed’s chair seat – (Jerome Powell will replace Fed Chair Yellen February 3, 2018. A prior article I wrote, will Trump dance or be a dunce is looking like he has his dancing shoes on. Let’s stay in the holiday spirit and dance the night away with a new Fed Chairman that will stick with the status quo and keep the party going! Chairman Greenspan decided to keep the party going at all costs and let the music stop on someone else’s watch. This practice has been followed by Chairman Bernenke and Chairman Yellen. Chairman Powell now seems prepared to practice what everyone else preached. Let’s do whatever it takes, regardless of future economic costs (and these costs will be catastrophic) and let this monetary policy experiment end with a thundering boom on the next person’s watch!
