of the year and ahead we are hearing more uncomfortable stories coming out of the airports. but passengers are planning to fight back. fox 5 morning news at 7:00 starts right now. take a look from tower cam as we see the first peaks of sunlight now on tuesday morning, november 23rd as we pan off to the east and look toward the downtown washington area. nice shot of the national cathedral. >> i'm so impressed. >> thanks for being here. i'm steve chenevey. >> and i'm allison seymour. you see there is a big monitor that you can't see. but any way, tony perkins, good morning to you. sunrise just occurred, 6:59. and you saw it here live. and we're going to see a very pretty morning. as the day progresses we'll get more clouds and they'll bring a chance of rain showers. let's look at hd radar.

we'll show you where the rain is now. it's way aout to the west -- way out to the west across west virginia and kentucky. we don't expect to get all of that. but we'll see some showers move through during the course of the afternoon hours. all of that rain won't hang together but some of it will work in here. current conditions being reported, right now at reagan national airport, current temperature is 52 degrees, relative humidity is 83%, your winds out of the south at 8 miles per hour. that's significant because those southerly winds bring warmer temperatures. your day planner for today, sunshine this morning giving way to mostly cloudy skies later. chance of scattered clouds. and high today in the mid to upper 60s. that's a look at the weather. now an update on traffic with julie wright. tony, we're talking about the crash that was on the inner loop of the beltway or make that the outer loop as you work toward route 4 pennsylvania avenue. you'll find the remains of this crash still there on the right

side of the highway. traffic that is coming out bound along route 4 is denied access to the beltway. so a crew from sky fox, let's take those pictures, traveling 495 at route 4, the accident still there on the right side. we're told eight vehicles involved in this crash. more from state highway now arriving on the scene as well to retrieve the accident vehicles. so the beltway has been reopened, extensive delays past the accident scene. inbound from upper marlboro, you can get on to the beltway outer loop and continue in the direction of land over. back inside, the inner loop of the beltway at the robinson terminal we had problems. the problem was there was no place to remove this vehicle. it was a stalled truck in the roadway but this is the area where they've been doing work and there is no shoulder so it was stuck until they could remove it. delays northbound on 95 from dale city up to the beltway. that's a check of your fox 5 on-

time traffic. more duress from north korea this morning after it fired on south korea last night. this happened on an island near the western border. the attack comes as the white house is reacting to news of a new nuclear facility. we have more. >> reporter: south korea is calling this a pre-med cated attack -- premeditated attack. this happened early this morning. the white house is condemning at tack telling north korea to halt it's belligerent action. there were 16 injured. the country said they returned fire. a tv station in south korea is reporting two people were injured and several hours were on fire, but it's now been updated to 16 injuries. the artillery exchange happened after the u.s. resumed to -- refused to resume talks. the white house said they will

not start talks again while they are working on a new report of a nuclear facility. a scientist was shown the state of the art facility which scientists say is more sophisticated than iran. president obama sent his special envoy or north korea to the region to discuss the issue with japanese and chinese officials. state department spokesman pj crowley said the claim is being taken seriously. he states if it is true it would violate the north korea obligation to stop pursuing nuclear weapons. >> obviously north korea's claim to have uraniumen retchment program -- enrichment program, if true, violates it's international obligations. if this reinforces our long- standing concern about north korea uranium enrichment activities we'll not be drawn

into rewarding north korea for bad behavior. >> now in regards to north korea's attack on the south overnight, the white house spokesman robert gibbs said the u.s. is in close and continuing contact with the south korean guest. we'll keep you updated. steve. >> thank you very much. and sad news from the national mall as a late night fire destroyed a kiosk between the vietnam wall and the lincoln memorial. here is what is left of it. a person manning the kiosk said he was working with a space heater last night. the structure and everything in it is a total loss. it had been there for 30 years, always maintained by vietnam veterans. a verdict reached in the chandra levy murder case after nearly four days of deliberations. the jury found ingmar guandique guilty on two murder counts. prosecutors want a conviction nearly a decade after levy's death. even though they lack the physical evidence to link him to her murder.

guandique will be sentenced february 11th. he faces life in prison. jurors would not specifically discuss their deliberations, they decided not to do that, they did say they carefully weighed the evidence before coming to a unanimous conclusion. >> we felt that we owed it to everyone involved to go through the evidence completely and to find in the end a verdict that we could all be comfortable with and would serve all of the parties involved to the best of our ability. >> the jurors not the only ones speaking out on yesterday's verdict. chandra levy's another spoke. susan levy has fought to bring her daughter's killer to justice. she said while she feels relief, there is no closure. >> there is always going to be

a feeling of sadness. i like the word that you used, "sense of peace." i'm glad to be here and follow up on my daughter no hard it has been on me personally. crime effects more than one person and someone dies of homicide, which there are too much in america, it affects probably 100 other people and their surroundings. >> joining us now joseph frankel with the analysis of the case and now does defense work. so you can give us both sides. good morning, thank you for being with us. tell me about your reactions after hearing the verdict yesterday. >> with the am of evidence that the government had to work with, i would say i'm surprised as a matter of law. you about the starting point for any of the cases is the tragedy. because the fact is you do have

a young person, loss of life, you have someone who is accused and a family who has lost a child. that's the starting point. i don't care if you're a defense lawyer, the prosecutor, that's the starting point. but looking at the case, you almost wonder how the government pulled the rabbit out of the hat on this one because there wasn't that much evidence and when you look at how they put the case together, when you have experienced prosecutors, what they are doing is they're doing a continuous assessment, how is my case coming in? do i really need to prove all of the counts we started with, because the government lost the number of counts. and then from a defense standpoint, what you're trying to be prepared for is what if the government cuts short its case and what if i need to jump in right now. how can i work with the witnesses on the stand, particularly if my client has a prior conviction who i know i

can't put on the stand because he's not going to be a credible witness, it's a chess match. >> what came into play was where ingmar guandique, what he was doing back in 2001. a lot came in that he was in the park, there were people that said he did indeed attack them in the wark. how much did that come into play in the end with a case that dna was not found, other things were not found, but he could be found in that park that summer? >> undoubtedly that makes a big difference. when the government is able to bring in evidence of other crimes, that often does have a significant influence on the thinking of the jury. it's interesting because as both a prosecutor and defense lawyer i've had the ability to participate in mock jury deliberation and it's very interesting to see how a citizen, in evaluating facts, really goes through that entire

deliberation process and you're trying to think about how do i rework the case. and i truly believe that was probably the most powerful evidence the government had in terms of being able to say, this is something who has committed attacks against women in this venue, and that was -- that probably was the game- breaker for the government and really made it possible to win the conviction. without that, i'm not sure the government would have obtained a conviction. >> we have to end it there. in the end the jury said we're not going to speak about deliberation. we had enough evidence to make that decision and we're at peace with that. >> ultimately that's who make the decisions, it's the jury. and next is sentencing. >> jacob frankel, we appreciate your insight. it's a rare opportunity to have somebody to speak on both sides. >> great to be back. thank you. >> and we have everything you need to know on myfoxdc.com. log on and let us know what you

think about the verdict and read paul wagner's blog. he was there in the courtroom every day. paul will join us in the next hour. and coming up next, ahead of one of the busiest travel days of the year there is uproar over the patdowns and scans and now the aclu getting involved. passengers may be acting out on their own. we have the latest on that coming up. it's 7:10 on this tuesday morning. lightning fast. lightning strong.

thrilling to those who study the system. >> the worst case is that somebody disrupts a security check point at a busy airport. every flight gets delayed for many hours and a lot of them get canceled. we would not want to see that happen because someone is trying to make a point. >> reporter: the chief of the tsa said he's aiming to balance privacy and security. >> what i agreed to do is to look at how we can do this type of screening, if we can do it less invasively has been the question, then i'm open to doing that. >> reporter: the american civil liberties union has received more than 600 complaints in just a few weeks. >> you can either get a nationed picture of yourself or go through this aggressive groping process. folks are outraged. >> we've told our children don't let nobody touch you because it's improper. and then yet it's okay if our government does it to us? >> reporter: more than 400 imaging units are being used at

holly is getting ready to learn different ways to prepare a turkey at zola's wine and kitchen. that's my theory. i'm not going to eat anything and then at thanksgiving i'll eat everything. >> reporter: i like it. but today we're going to talk about how to fix turkey three different ways. so our first way, i am going to call it the -- oh, my gosh, how did you fix that turkey segment. because this is off the beaten path and different than the norm and the brian did doing it -- and the person doing it is brian muskat ello. this is a great time of year? >> exactly. >> reporter: and the first way is called what? >> the modern version. >> reporter: but it's technically called? >> it's old world technique which is the [ inaudible ] with

a modern innovation which is the su-ving of the turkey. >> reporter: let's get started. first i bone out the turkey legs and get these off the carcus here. >> reporter: and if people with buying fresh turkeys and going to the store today or tomorrow, what should they look for? >> you want a nice, fresh turkey. you can buy organic or natural. i usually go to my local butcher shop, order up a turkey. when you order it, it's going to be very fresh because they're getting them place -- and placing the orders as opposed to the stores that ordered the foods and were frozen way back then. and so we make a mixture of salt, sugar, herbs and some garlic and let this sit

overnight. once it's cured overnight, i like to soak these in duck fat. >> reporter: because everybody has duck fat at home. okay buy your duck fat and do that. >> and we just give it a covering and it will impart the flavor of herbs and salt and sugar into the thigh. and it's going to help in the tenderizing process of fixing the texture a little bit -- it changes texture a little bit. so let that go overnight. >> reporter: and then it's the next day. >> perfect. but we'll get back to our breast real quick. so our breast, same thing, we take it off the carcus. and the reason i like to take the breast and legs off the carcus is because i do like the flavor of the way we're preparing them, but more importantly it gives me these bones. this makes a great gravy, as opposed to trying to get the drippings. >> reporter: we have two minutes, just want to make sure we get through. >> no problem.

and we'll take off the breasts and these will go into cryo vac bagged and sealed and then put into a warm water bath to cook at four hours at a precise controlled part. >> reporter: and that is the su- ving part. >> yes. >> reporter: and it cooks three hours or depending on the size of the bird. >> right. >> reporter: and from there? >> we go back to the legs. i crisp them up in a little bit of the duck fat. >> reporter: which is sold everywhere by the way. i'm giving you a hard time. >> it is sold everywhere. >> reporter: i believe you. and there is our legs. look at that. >> golden brown delicious and it's a textureal change. >> reporter: and we have less than a minute. >> and here we have our turkey

breast that you've taken out of the su-ving and there is our turkey. >> reporter: and you guys are having a pie class tonight and then traditional tomorrow? >> correct. we are also doing a little turk- away, which is our order your turkey thanksgiving dinner for takeaway. >> reporter: you can get it this way? >> you cannot. >> reporter: can you cut me off a slice so i can taste it. >> i sure can. >> reporter: myfoxdc.com is our website to find out about things and to place your order. i'm going to try the first one. whoa, it's hot. if i don't burn my -- my something.

oh, my gosh, how did you make that turkey? i'm telling, that's what your guests will say. we have the recipe online if you want to try it out. coming up in the next hour, i think we're going back to traditional. that always works but this really works. back to you. >> i can tell from that reaction. >> i'm jealous. >> it just looks good. for us, we just get to look at it. a lot of people talking about selling gold. the gold prices high and the cash supply low. >> and folks are trying to sell unused gold but is this a good idea. we'll talk to an expert on this coming up after 8:00. he grew up in arlington and now making up big in hollywood. we're talking about greg garcia. yes dear, and my name is earl, we'll talk with him coming up. s

fox 5 staying on top of a developing story overnight. north korea launching an artillery attack against south korea and it's turned deadly. reaction from the white house ahead this hour. and then new ahead this

morning, fire destroyed a popular kiosk near the veteran memorial wall. one traveler saying he was humiliated by the screening process. and more on that, plus we'll tell you about the opt out day tomorrow and what it could mean for your travel plans. i'm steve chenevey. >> and i'm allison seymour. and we have learned the date prince william will marry kate middleton and where and we'll reveal that in a few minutes. but let's check in with tony perkins first and look at our forecast for this tuesday. >> it's going to be a decent day today. we'll see some scattered rain showers but as far as temperatures go, we'll be fantastic. into the 60s today. let's look at hd radar and show you where the precip is now. it's well out to the west. any rain that we get in here won't be for a few hours. it will be a while before we get rainfall. there is heavy rain in southwestern west virginia, moving across kentucky as well. we don't expect that to come in here. but we do expect some scattered

shower activity during the afternoon. that is about it. right now, current conditions being reported at reagan national, we have a temperature there of 53 degrees, and that's the latest. and relative humidity 80%. winds out of the southwest at 7 miles per hour. your day planner for today, some sunshine this morning but increasing cloudiness in advance of a cold front coming through. we'll warm up into the mid-60s. and then get some showers and the temperatures start to drop off tonight. i'll tell but that in a couple of minutes. >> tony, thank you. let's check the roads with julie wright. >> it's been busy out there. and the latest incident occurred on the outer loop as you approach the georgetown pike that was tieing up a couple of lanes. inner loop still gridlocked leaving springfield and toward 236, where we had the earlier incident stuck in the roadway. that is gone but the damage is done. big delays out of woodbridge. 66 slowing in manassas, centreville, slow to 123 and nutley street to the beltway.

and lingering delays southbound on 270 out of germantown. the problem at 370 is cleared. lanes open on the outer loop congested and it is slow. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. new this morning, a late- night fire has destroyed the pow-mia kiosk between the lincoln wall and the memorial. a man was working with a heater at the time the fire started. it was there for more than 30 years, always maintained by vietnam vets. the cause is still under investigation. more threats from north korea this morning after a bombarding of a south korea island. it wounded more and sparked fires on a military base. south korea fired 80 rounds back. this morning the white house

and russia are condemning at tack. north korea is blaming the south accusing it of firing first and threatening to continue to launch if they violate the seaboarder. financial markets across asia down today following this news from korea. we are now just one day away from the busiest travel day of the year, one of them any way. and despite the uproar, the tsa said very few air travelers are declining the full body scan that peers through their clothing. those who do get a patdown and that includes the groin area and the chest area. yesterday we told you about that bladder cancer survivor from michigan whose airport patdown caused a bag of his urine to soak his clothing. the head of the tsa called and apologied to that man. tom sawyer said that he accepted the apology. tomorrow is being called national opt out day. opponents of the virtual strip are -- strip search are calling on air travelers to ask for a

patdown instead of a scan. but the prospect of a protest is not thrilling to those who study the system. >> well, the worst case is that somebody disrupts a security check point at a busy airport. every flight gets delayed for many hours and a lot of them get canceled. we certainly don't want to see that happen because someone is trying to make a point. >> the head of the tsa said he is still trying to balance privacy with security. after nearly a decade it is finally case closed as ingmar guandique has been found guilty of murdering chandra levy. despite no witnesses or dna evidence, and no murder weapon. our paul wagner has been covering this case from the beginning and paul joins us once again on this morning after the conviction came down. you called it. this time yesterday morning you said if it took this long and the questions the jury had asked, it looked like they were leaning toward a conviction and

they did. >> based on the question they asked last week, we thought they were leaning toward a conviction. i sat through the testimony and i thought it could go either way. i thought the defense had poked enough holes notice prosecution case it could sew some doubt into the minds of jurors but they said yesterday they were just taking their time, they were going through all of the evidence, they said it was a lot of evidence and it took three and a half days to get through it but they found enough they were very confidence that they could find ingmar guandique guilty. >> we talked earlier this morning with a former prosecutor, now currently a defense attorney who said he was surprised because of the lack of direct evidence tieing him to the case with no dna evidence. but as you said, the jury said that didn't matter too much in their decision. >> well if you can boil it down, i think there were three things that we heard in the courtroom that these jurors must have really zeroed in on and that is the prior bad acts.

guandique had pled guilty to attacking two women in the park, attacks identical to the attack on chandra levy. those women testified in court. there was the woman, mrs. mendez, ho became a pen pal of guandique. she exchanged letters with him. and then there was a recorded phone call, this is very important, because the letter that she alleges that came from guandique to her never materialized. it doesn't exist. but there was a recorded phone conversation that the two had in which she asked guandique about this, quote, dead girl, and he never denied it. and then we had armando morales who spent time in a cell with guandique and apparently with the jurors that was the key to this case. and i sat in there and listened to this man and he was rivetting. he was believable. even though he was a thug, he had spent many years in prison, he was a enforcer for a gang in california, but the story he

told seemed to ring true with these jurors. and he gave details that we had never heard before, details that seemed to play into the scenario of what happened to chandra levy. >> without any direct evidence of the case, any chance of an appeal at some point or that that could weigh heavily in the favor of an appeal? >> i think appeals are pretty standard these days. unless you plead guilty and then you lose your right. but i think you can count on an appeal. there are several things that i think he can try, but i think the one thing that stands out to me is this unknown dna that was on chandra levy's tights. i felt all along that the jury would have a difficulty getting by that, but obviously they believed that the prosecution theory of this unknown dna not connected to guandique or condit was contaminated after the tights were taken out of the woods in 2002. and so that was the prosecution's explanation. >> still have the sentencing to

come. do we know details as to whether or not any sentence, whatever that sentence would be, would that be tacked on to the end of his current sentence, do they run at the same time? >> good question. i don't know what darrell fisher will do, the judge. but he has to serve out the remaining time on the -- on his sentence for attacking christie wiegand and holly schilling and that's about two years to go on that. so it would seem like he would have to serve it consecutively, after his term finishes. so he's going to be in prison for a very long time. >> paul wagner covering the case and did a great job. we appreciate your updates, paul. enjoy doing something different today. >> i'm glad it's over, to be honest with you. >> thanks, paul. well new comments out today from pope benedict xvi about his recent remarks about condom use. in his book released today he said the condom use could be a lesser evil than transmitting

hiv to a partner. he used male prostitutes as an example. he was asked whether his comments only apply to men and he said he did not matter. important thing was the intent to take the consideration of another life of one's person into mind. the spokesperson said this is if your a woman, a man or a transsexual. well time now is 9 minutes after the hour of 8:00. it's a tuesday morning. and gold prices are high. and in many homes the cash supply is low. so more and more people are trying to sell their unused gold but is this really a good idea. we'll talk with someone who knows about that when we come back.

8:13 on this friday morning. it is april 29th. it's not april 29th. that is the date prince william will get married. but that will be when the royal wedding takes place. it will be at westminster abbey where princess diana's funeral was held and the queen's

wedding was held. the couple wanted a spring wedding, although we're surprised at the entertainment. none other than snoop dogg. talks in discussion right now. >> i love that. >> wouldn't it be great? >> i love that. it would be. >> make it a pay-per-view event. >> it should be. i wonder if we can all -- we'll talk about it. >> that would be interesting. well we know, tony perkins, that the prince's bachelor party is aboveboard. nothing that couldn't be broadcast across the world. >> even with snoop dogg there as the entertainment. >> and just crossing the wires, the queen asked about snoop dogg and she said she's down with that. >> so that's great. >> picking up on the lingo. >> i don't believe you, but it's great. let's take a look at what is going on out there. we'll start with our temperatures. man, we're in the right place here, folks, in the eastern united states. because we have mild temperatures.

but before we get to that -- i was thrown off by the talk of the queen and royal wedding. it's time for the my first 5 photo of the day. and the highs may be well into the 60s but this is 9-month-old serenity. i love that name. and she has her new winter snow suit all ready to go. >> and she's so happy in it. >> because she's warm and cozy. it's comfortable. she is ready for the winter. she looks very cute. is she standing in. >> it does look like it. at 9-month-olds, that's early. >> that's rather extraordinary. >> well you may need to write in some more about serenity. she's adorable. thanks for sending it in. to send us your child's picture go to myfoxdc.com and click on mornings. now let's take a look at the temperatures around the country. we are at 54 degrees. it is mild in the eastern united states. out to the west much colder. rochester is 56 degrees. 57 in raleigh.

however st. louis is 34. omaha, that's not that far west, folks, it's 16 degrees in omaha. 12 in minneapolis. the coldest air of the season so far over the northern plains, 5 below in bismarck. 7 degrees in pearce, south dakota. 19 in denver. and check out seattle, 20 degrees right now in seattle. yesterday afternoon it was 30 degrees in seattle. you know they did not like that. all right, here is a look at the national map, the satellite radar, most active weather in the eastern third. but not here. but we'll get some of that later on. we do have some rain showers across kentucky and tennessee. this will makes it way eastward. before it gets here we'll warm up quite nicely. and then as it moves in we'll get showers and then the cooler temperatures tonight. five-day forecast, high today of about 67 degrees, skies becoming increasingly cloudy. right now it's very pretty out. i just stepped outside. and we'll see scattered rain

shower this is afternoon. tomorrow sunny and much cooler and 52. thanksgiving, a chance of showers here and there, 54. friday morning rain and 51 degrees. and then saturday and sunday, highs only in the 40s. that's a look at what is happening with the weather. now let's get rush hour traffic with julie wright. new accident to report for you northbound 95 in virginia over the occuquan. accident tieing up the left side of the roadway. delays beginning back near the potomac mills sign. inner loop still congested braddock from 66. slow toward telegraph road. sunshine delays in montgomery county. this is the inner loop at old georgetown. slow around the curve into the sun approaching 355. that's a check of your fox 5 on- time traffic. with the price of gold hitting record highs, cash- strapped americans are cashing in and selling old gold, really somebody who just wants to make an extra buck. there are even gold-buying stores popping up in shopping

malls. but sellers need to be careful and do their homework. joining us is eric freedman. we turn to you when it's like is this too good to be true. thank you for being with us today. what is the headlines here? we know gold prices are through the roof. people might be looking for extra money, especially around the holidays. what is the headline? >> this is our modern day gold rush n. 1850s people jump on horses and went out to california to pan for gold. well the price of gold is so high today. over $1,300 an ounce, and people are facing tough economic times. when that happens, people look for creative ways to try to make ends meet. but generally speaking this is a bad idea to try to make some money. >> what seems to be the worst part of it is that we just never really know how much do we actually have? so you're going in with the blindfolds on because you don't know how much your gold is really weighing and you need to be educated on what you are going to get. just because it's $1,300 an hour, you're not going to get

that. >> absolutely. and that's a very good point. because it's a complicated transaction. first of all, people don't have a hunk of gold in their house. they may have some gold but it's a complicated transaction. there is different forms of measurements. there is karates with a k, and car ats with a c. and we have troy ounces and penny weights. and the price fluctuates every day. >> and so you passed along tips. you said think two or three times before you sell. is this a way of stop, do i really need this money and i might not get what i deserve? >> absolutely. there are better ways of doing it. it's like jumping out of a window. a lot of things could happen on the way down and the amount of risk depends on how high the window is. and you have gold parties and gold kits and online selling and expos at hotels and

shopping mall stores are popping up but you don't know what the value is unless you have it appraised, go to a reputable jewelry store or things like that. but just putting your gold in an envelope, mailing it off and hoping that it comes back with some money, it's just a fool- hearted way of doing it. >> you talked about doing an appraisal and know the units of measurement. and you say check gold values daily. now if we even have this information how does that help us to get some quick cash? >> it gives you an idea of how high the value is. but you don't know. 14 k gold is 15% pewer. but you don't know what other metals are in the item and it might be worth more at a pawn shop selling it for the value of the coin itself, maybe worth more than the actual gold in there. but it's a difficult way. it is a seller beware when you are selling items with gold in them. >> and the last tip is just one to think about it and let it

resonate in your head. this is not a remedy for long- term problems. why do you say that? >> if you're facing long-term financial problems, you need some financial counseling and budgeting and running around the house to try to find something with gold and running off to a hotel to sell it, is not real way to deal with the long-term issues a family is facing. >> in the west are you dealing with this yet? if people want more information, where can they go. >> we have information on our web page. we're starting to get calls. the better business bureau is getting complaints about this situation. so it's a modern day gold rush. >> eric freeman with the montgomery county office of consumer protection. thank you so much. steve, over to you. 8:21 right now. traffic could get worse in the new year as metro riders lose some of their commuter benefits. we'll detail that when we come back. and let's check in now with holly. >> reporter: we're talking turkey this morning as we're live at zola wine and kitchen.

as getting any shower activity. it does have a much cooler, drier air off to the north and west and that will get in here later today. mostly cloudy afternoon with warm temperatures and again a couple of scattered showers out there for the afternoon and evening commute and then sunny and dry tomorrow forgetaway days. people are headed up and down the eastern seaboard. increasing clouds and nice and warm and 67 degrees. could be a few showers out there. winds out of the west at 5-10. the winds shift tonight. we start to cool off. overnight low in town, a lot of 30s. and there is your setup for the rest of the week. tomorrow looks fine for traveling. there will be some storminess out west. we'll show you that in a little bit. but for thursday scattered showers and friday and saturday we cool down with sunshine on the day on saturday. that's a look at the forecast, steve. over to you. and if you're a fan of the show raising hope here on fox 5 or yes, dear, my name is earl. we have a treat for you because we are joined by the man behind

these popular shows. the creator, producer and writer greg garcia. welcome home. >> i come home for thanksgiving and we come home once a year to bring the kids back and do the whole d.c. thing. >> and let's talk about the show. raising hope has taken off. and i have to admit, for those who aren't feel with it, you've shortened down the premise. >> it's the classic premise of guy meets girl, girl gets pregnant, girl turns out to be a serial killer, girl has baby, girl gets executed, boy gets baby. it's been done a million times. >> you have to put the special touches in to make sure this stands out. >> we have to put our spin on it. >> but i have to be honest when i first heard the show was premiering on fox and i thought how in the world will you make this work. but you have. and it's really contagious once you start watching it to see what goes into it. i think it's amazing what all of us can grasp on to in a show like this. >> i think the key to it is,

it's a kind of a krazy jumping off point but then the characters are relatable, what they go through on a daily busy. and the actors make you believe these people are real that it's easily acceptable. >> and where did you get the idea in the first place because this sounds like after a fraternity party, let's throw this together. >> and i was doing mas earl and i had this idea with to ending so the good thing is to make it a tv show because you don't need an ending. and i went over to kevin reilly at fox and pitchd it to him and he wanted to do it. and you have leachman, at the top of the list. how important was it to bring her on board or somebody with her credentials when it came to acting? >> she's great. the original script didn't have a lot of lines and she called me and thought it was hilarious

and then we added more for her. recently she's decided she's going to lick me. i sprayed some bitter apple on my neck to keep her off of me. and she went in for it any way. but she's great. >> one of the things that i think is great and we see it with burt, the father on the show, you turn it on and see him wearing a caps t-shirt. you like to bring your home town to hollywood? >> those are my teams, caps and redskins and i like to put my characters in the stuff for a couple of reasons. one, i'm a fan, so i like to support it. two, i get wardrobe to get two of everything so i can get free shirts for myself and then i also try to work it into some tickets once in a while. so it's all about trying to get to see the game. >> well then it works out for you and us as well. >> everybody wins. >> it's a win-win situation. are we going to see more of that. and some of the locals are loosely based on some real areas, especially with my name is earl.

do you try to work in some of the d.c. area? >> once in a while if i do college stuff i call frostberg state university and some of the stuff is loosely based. it's tough because we shoot out side and there is palm trees and so it's hard to pull anything off on the east coast. and i name my kids after the towns. natesville is a town and that's after my son. >> and you used yourself and wife's name as characters. >> i did. just a lack of creativity. and i just look around and whoever i see, i name a character after. >> why confuse things too much. and this is keeping you are busy. but are you working on anything else? >> not working on anything else right now. i'm a one-show kind of guy. it's a 14-15 hour a day job and i stick with that and just work real hard at this and try to make it the best we can. >> the next episode is on tonight here on fox 5. greg, it's great to see you. welcome home. i know you're going to try to

sneak in a caps and redskins. >> yeah, the caps and skins. >> well bring us some luck. >> i'll try my best. >> and his show here tonight on fox 5. back to you. 54 degrees and it's 8:47. money news is up next including budget updates from d.c. and montgomery county. stay with us.

thanksgiving turkey. >> reporter: because a dry turkey is not good. >> that's one way to be remembered. so we're going to stuff this now. not too much, but just a little bit of these aromatics some of the flavors. >> reporter: and for people doing their first turkey, you do need to take everything out of the turkey. >> absolutely. >> reporter: before you put your own stuffing in. >> absolutely. don't tell me why i know that. it was a lesson learned how. >> as most of them are. so now we're take a little bit of this and we're going to tuck this wing underneath because we want our bird to be relaxing when it goes into the oven. >> reporter: oat not sure that bird thinks it's relaxed. and it will burn if you don't tuck it in. >> they get crispy and brown. and we'll tie this up and nice and tight around and underneath the legs and wrap around the legs so it's nice and tight. and again we're going to come underneath the wings, right back in the front and then you have a little bit of a tailor sometimes it's known as the

pope's nose. we're going to tie this around the pope's nose so it's nice and tight. and then this guy is going to be ready to go into the roasting pan and then ready to go into the oven. >> reporter: how do you know how big of a turkey to get depending on how many people you are feeting? >> it depends on how hungry are you friends or family are and people like to do in the 14-16- pound range. those will feet 6-8 people. it depends on how hungry you are. and we'll take this melted butter and put a nice base over the top. the idea is that it will get a nice head start when it go news the oven, getting a nice crisp and brown. and we'll sprinkle nice chopped herbs here. again thyme and parsley and rosemary. >> reporter: this turkey looks like it's getting ready for a magazine cover. it looks beautiful. >> and then salt and black pepper right on top. a nice hard, heavy coating. this is going to be the best

opportunity to get some flavor on it. >> and that is what you are teaching your class tomorrow night? >> absolutely. turkey and three sides. >> reporter: class here tomorrow night if you are interested. >> and then we put the stuff on the bottom with a little bit of a bed to roast on so when it cook it's won't burn or stick on to the bottom. and you'll let the juices cook out. >> reporter: good looking. we are out of time. >> and here we have our bird. it takes about 2-3 hours, maybe more depending on your oven and we're going to carve into this guy. >> reporter: so as he carves into that, myfoxdc.com is our website and we have a link to the zola wine and kitchen website. they do have pie cooking classes tonight and spots filling up quick so check before you sign up for that one. and this class tomorrow night, the turkey and three sides, check on that as well. what you make in the class you get to take home with you. so in essence you're doing your

thanksgiving dinner tomorrow night. can i try a piece? that looks good. and in the next hour we'll moved on to fried turkey, which a lot of people love. but let me taste this one before i go and say -- man, my turkey never tastes like that. that is a good recipe. our third turkey coming up in the next hour. back to you. >> two for two so far. >> thanks, holly. and thanks to the iphone and the droids, apps are the rage these days and we're on the mission to find the helpful and fun smart phone apps. we'll sort out the stuff you don't need. >> we are going to start highlighting apps for you every week. let's head to lauren demarco live in the smart phone zone. >> reporter: these days you buy a new cell fen and it feels like you buy a new car. all of your friends want to see it and check out the new features and compare what they

have to what you do and the big thing is apps. the programs you can install on your phone from a third party. many come from your favorite websites and they make the site easier to navigate on your fon but there are apps for games, ring tones and wallpaper, that's the picture display on your phone for those totally in the dark. many of them are free but some will cost you. you can find out about them online or by smart by searching your internet or computer. and we are going to start highlighting some of the best apps out there. now today's app is perfect because we are three days out, allison you know, from the biggest -- one of the biggest shopping days of the year -- black friday. i don't know about you, but i'm not going to wake up at crack of down and face a mob scene if i'm not sure i'm going to get the rock bottom prices. so there are several apps out there.

my favorite is tgi black friday. this is what the icon looks like on your screen. this app is free. it's available for both the iphone and android systems. now let's say i'm in the market for a new tv. when you start up the app there are several ways to search using the top of the display. you can go to store, extol down to, say, best buy, and check out the information about the store hours on friday and then surf around you find the tv you want. you can e-mail it to a friend and add it to a list to compare prices. if you're willing to head to any store, search category, scroll down to tv and then look through the deals. perhaps the best feature of this app, here it is, once you find the item you want, click on the store you're heading to and down load the holiday circular. you can scan them into the phone so you can be absolutely sure you're going to find the price you expect when you get there. that was how the app looks for

droid users. the iphone display is slightly different but you got the idea. i got in touch with the makers of this app and they say all of the information is put in by hand. as soon as the details are released, we may see updates as we approach black friday. if you have an app that you can't live without, tell us about it and spread the word. go to myfoxdc.com and look under the mobile tab and don't forget about the fox 5 d.c. app. once you install this, you can get the latest news, weather and traffic in the palm of your hand. you can also send in tips, hit menu and then you report and can easily call our news room, send us an e-mail or up load photos and videos. you can see this segment again, because i know you want to do j and hit more and seeing the option for fox 5 morning news. we post all of our morning segments and interviews. you can watch them right from your phone. well that's it from the brand new smart phone zone. happy black friday shopping. allison and steve, back to you. >> that's a great thing to
