McLaren Supercar Party

The MP4-12C -- a successor to the McLaren F1 -- certainly has the performance bona fides to compete with such a rarefied crew: The 3.8-liter twin-turbo V8 puts out around 600 horsepower and 442 lb-ft. of torque, and the car boasts many features repurposed from the team's F1 racers, such as its 7-speed "seamless shift" gearbox; a braking system lifted directly from the track models; and Proactive Control suspension with three performance modes, including High Performance, which McLaren says will provide more of an F1 feel than any other car on the road. The completely bespoke machine (not a single part comes from any car manufacturer other than McLaren) was designed by former MINI designer Frank Stephenson and was the brainchild of McLaren F1 boss Ron Dennis.

Reattached Hand Recovery

A 6-year-old girl is recovering after surgeons reattached her left hand, severed when it was caught in a loop of jump rope that had snagged on the axle of her mother's car. Erica Rix underwent 10 hours of surgery after the accident in early September and spent nine days in intensive care before returning home. Erica was playing with a jump rope in the back seat of her mother's car and let one end of the rope out the window to flutter in the wind. The rope caught on the car's axle and a loop of the rope tightened around the girl's wrist, slicing off her hand.
"She was screaming and screaming and so I got out of the car and at her window that was just cracked about that much, the remaining part of her hand." About a year after this freak accident Erica and her mom stand up today to talk about the tragedy.

Nice Nude Beaches

Nude sunbathing has long been a cherished all-American tradition, from Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn cavorting in their birthday suits to Norman Rockwell's idyllic portraits of youngsters splashing at the swimming hole. Today stripping down is increasingly popular and accepted; financially strapped municipalities have even discovered that going topless – and more – improves the bottom line. Psychological studies show that shedding clothes and inhibitions in a non-judgmental environment can decrease stress and improve self-esteem. Just remember some bare necessities. Naturists are not exhibitionists; they believe literally getting back to nature promotes interpersonal acceptance and enhances comfort within one's own skin. Show respect and practice etiquette. While there's no denying the scenery can be eye-catching in more ways than one, gawking is gauche, as is snapping away on your mobile (at least ask permission!). Observe common beach courtesy: clean up your mess, don't assume that nude equals lewd, cover up before leaving the clothing-optional section, and keep your hands (and comments) to yourself. Most nude beaches are family-friendly, with their own advocacy groups who throw parties, volunteer to clean up litter, and handle harassers; indeed naturists are often better behaved than their clothed beachcombing brethren. Unless the beach advertises amenities, bring your own water, food, towels (always put something between your assets and the ground), etc. Foremost, know the law, which varies from state to state, even town to town.
