New Broad Museum Reveal
The exterior of the new Broad Contemporary Art Museum in downtown LA was revealed with the scaffolding today. The "Oculus" window can been seen from the Grand Ave side, looks like a giant whale eye.
The museum has a way to go before it is opened. Construction and litigation over runs have delayed the museum's planned opening of this spring. It might open in late 2015, no one is really sure. For now, it just looks cool from the outside.

Police Protest at LAPD Headquarters
Dozens of protesters showed up to protest against the shootings and killings of unarmed black men by police from across the nation, in front of the LAPD headquarters in downtown Los Angeles.
The small crowd chanted "I can't breathe" in tribute to Eric Garner who was choked to death by NYPD officers during his arrest. The protesters proceeded to march to South Los Angeles at the spot where Ezell Ford was killed by LAPD earlier this year.

Angelenos React to Ferguson Decision
Angelenos gathered in LA's Leimert Park to await the city of Ferguson, MO grand jury's decision on to try a Ferguson Police Officer for shooting of Michael Brown.
The grand jury decided not to try the officer for the shooting of the unarmed youth. Many Angelenos felt that the decision was racially motivated and just another form of racism against black people in America.
Hundreds of people took to the streets of LA in protest. Several roads and freeways were shut down in to the late evening.

Top Ten Favorite Cars To See At 2014 LA Auto Show
Here's my top ten favorite cars to see at this year's Los Angeles Auto Show.
My criteria was innovation, beauty, and a nod to the true automotive future.
1. MINI Superleggera Vision concept vehicle. A new possible direction for the MINI auto company. The vehicle is an electric powered rear-wheel drive vehicle designed by MINI Design Chief Andres Warming. Beautiful design cues and details.
2. A concept vehicle, the Toyota FV2 future mobility concept.
3. The Porsche 918 Spyder hybrid. The 918 is a mid-engine hybrid supercar with a 608hp gas engine combined with a 279hp electric engine, for a combined output of 887hp and a top speed of 210mph.
Starting price is $845K USD.
4. Infinity Q80 plug-in hybrid concept. The "Liquid Sky" paint is 28 layers thick.
5. The Ford Mustang Shelby GT. The 350ci 500hp engine celebrates the 50 years of Mustang proudly with functional style.
6. The Maserati "Alfieri" concept. Just because.
7. The Lexus LF-C2 concept vehicle. Perfect for California.
8. Jaguar Project 7 F-Type 2016. This V-8 powered engine produces 575hp and cost $165K USD.
9. Mercedes AMG-GTS 2016. Powered by a V-8 twin turbo gas burning engine. Has a 7 speed auto transmission. No price yet.
