Next-Generation Dynatrac Dana 44Posted in How To on October 21, 2013
Much like our hideous caveman ancestors tens of thousands of years ago, the first Dana 44s found under Jeeps in the late '40s were simple and unrefined, coarse and archaic. Sporting 10- or 19-spline two-piece axleshafts with a keyway and a nut holding the axle flange to the axleshafts, a course 10-spline pinion, and weak small-diameter axletubes, a lot has changed over the years since the dawn of Dana 44s. While modern man carries a smart phone with more computing power than that of NASA in the '70s, those early Dana 44s are like the club to the smart phone of the "next generation" Dana 44. Alright, maybe that's a bit of a stretch. But hey, you have to admit that Dana 44s have evolved over the years into a much stronger axle that approaches, if not exceeds, the strength of the venerable Dana 60. All this while still maintaining a relatively girlish figure—that is, getting stronger without packing on all the excess weight. When the rear Wagoneer Dana 44 axlehousing in our '49 CJ-3A literally broke in half at the 2013 Tierra Del Sol Desert Safari ("Unintended Consequences," July '13), we considered many different rear axles as a replacement. Our mind went from building a replacement Wagoneer Dana 44, to a Ford 9-inch, and we even contemplated a Dana 60. Ah, what to do?
In the Jeep's current form, that is with a Buick V-6, granny-geared T-18, 35-inch tires, and a YJ spring conversion, we have run a couple of different Dana 44s in the rear of our Jeep. The first Dana 44 was an offset CJ-3A or early CJ-5 Dana 44. This axle was beefed up with a 30-spline Detroit Locker, a Warn full-float kit, Chevy caliper mounting brackets and calipers, and Ford 11-inch rotors. The axle still ran an old and worn 10-spline 5.38 ring-and-pinion that was living on borrowed time. At some point we had built a huge and ugly truss in an attempt to add strength to the tiny axletubes. We also disliked the thick wheel spacers necessary to get the old narrow axle to approach the width of our more-modern Dana 44 front axle. The axle worked—sort of—and we loved the disc brakes, but we had twisted splines on the short 30-spline chromoly axleshaft. That's not good.
The second axle that served time was a Dana 44 from a '78 Wagoneer. This axle had the same 30-spline Detroit, a new 5.38 gearset from Dana, and chromoly axleshafts and factory drum brakes that were constantly getting packed with mud. This axle seemed to be nearly perfect for the old Jeep. It was just strong enough unless we were in a bad bind. It was also wide enough to match the front axle. That was until it broke in half. So as we stood in the desert feeling hopeless our mind raced between possible replacement axles we asked ourselves if we could come up with something better. Well, for once we skipped the junkyard and went with plan B. Plan B involved calling Dynatrac to build a cutting-edge Dana 44 for our old Jeep. This axle that you see here will take our Flattie from the Stone Age to the Internet Age of Dana 44s.
What you see here built by Dynatrac is a bigger, stronger Dana 44 using JK parts like a G2 Axle and Gear 5.38 JK ring-and-pinion with a large 8.8-inch ring gear (standard Dana 44s are 8.5 inches). Both the new Dana 44 ring gear and older Dana 44 ring gears share the same inside diameter so the new Dana 44 is tooth face is nearly a 1⁄2-inch larger which allows more tooth contact between the ring-and-pinion. Also the JK gears feature a larger-diameter pinion that is the same size as a Dana 60 pinion. We also were able to upgrade to a 35-spline Dana 44 ARB Air Locker and 35-spline axleshafts from Dynatrac. Yep, that's 1.5-inch 35-spline axles in this Dana 44, just like what's in a 35-spline Dana 60. Our axle also has the same 31⁄8-inch, 5⁄16-inch-wall tubes that Dynatrac would build into one of its semi-float Dana 60s. So why is this not just a Dana 60 replacement? Well, it's not quite as strong as a 60 as it has a slightly smaller ring gear (Dana 60 is 9.75 inches in diameter) and smaller carrier bearings, but it is a lot stronger than our old Dana 44. This axle also has better clearance than a Dana 60 and is slightly lighter in weight (Dynatrac estimates up to 100 lbs lighter than a semi-float Dana 60). That makes it perfect for our lightweight Buick V-6 powered flattie. Follow along as we watch Dynatrac build one beefcake of a Dana 44.
Will It Fit?
Dynatrac has tons of experience building axles for all kinds of Jeeps and vehicles. The axle build specification sheet includes all the important measurements. That means that when the axle arrives at your house it will be easy to install, and all specifications, such as pinion angle, leaf spring perch position, and control arm bracketry, will be spot-on.

John Delcos of Newyorkmetsreport.com and Joe DeCaro of Metsmerizedonline.com will be doing more and more projects together with the goal of merging two successful blogs in the hope of giving our readers everything they'll need in covering the Mets. Continuing our review of the 2011 Mets, today we take a look at Angel Pagan.
THE SKINNY: You look at this guy and wonder why he's not better with his physical tools. Pagan appeared to have a breakout year in 2010 when he hit .290 with 11 homers, 69 RBI and 32 steals. In 101 less at-bats last season Pagan hit four fewer homers with 13 less RBI. Not only were his numbers off, but he regressed in his defense and decisions on the bases. This is not a fundamentally sound player.
REASONS TO KEEP HIM: The Mets are thin in the outfield, don't have many options on the minor league level and don't figure to get any help in the free-agent or trade markets. … Should Jose Reyes leave, the Mets don't have any leadoff options.
REASONS TO LET HIM GO: He could get up to $5 million in arbitration, which is a lot considering his production. … After last summer, it appears 2010 was a fluke. … Is there any reason to believe he'll be better?
JOHN'S TAKE: The word is the Mets will tender Pagan so this might all be a moot point. I would still rather them take the gamble with Grady Sizemore, or if nothing else, see what somebody else can do. The Mets aren't loaded with outfield options, but if Pagan produces as he did last year, he's not offering much.
For a team wanting to get better defensively and fundamentally, Pagan doesn't bring much to the table. Defensively, he doesn't judge balls well and has a below average arm. In 2010 it appeared he was ready to take over centerfield, but I don't see that anymore. For all his speed, his .322 on-base percentage is poor and his strikeouts-walks ratio is roughly 2-to-1. Let him go and move on.
JOE'S TAKE: The strange case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde or so it would seem where Angel Pagan is concerned. A year ago fans were clamoring for Pagan to replace Carlos Beltran in center field for his defensive exploits and some even mentioned him in the same breath as David Wright for his offensive showing in 2010. Gulp.
Pagan was a big letdown in 2011. He got off to an atrocious start at the plate to start the season batting .159 in April before hitting the DL with an oblique injury and missing nearly a month. His bat looked great when he returned, but that was offset by big declines on defense and base-running.
Pagan is proving himself to be wildly inconsistent and that's usually the sign of a platoon player or even worse – a fourth outfielder. Is it smart for this front office to pay $5 million for such a player when the utilities at Citi Field are in danger of being turned off? Probably not, but they will anyway. It's not like they have any better options.
One year at the helm and the new Mets caretakers now have less center field depth than last November. That means they will have to keep Pagan, but that doesn't mean you have to like it. These are strange times in Flushing.

Like every other college-educated urban white person, I love The Onion. Its satire sometimes feels like everything that's left of the guiding light of civilization.
Yet recently I've noticed stories on the Syrian civil war that very much embody the thoughtless ways Americans have come to look at foreign policy, especially the sticky club of liberal interventionists. Sure, you can count on Lindsay Graham and John McCain to want to get involved in whatever Middle Eastern wars might be lying around, but The Onion captures liberal interventionist sentiment well.
"'Syrian Lives Are Worthless,' Obama Tells Daughters Before Kissing Them Goodnight" hit a rare note of not only being obvious and unfunny but also daft about what a Syrian intervention would mean. You could imagine a Fox News-financed conservative satirical newsletter trying to make the same joke in 2003: "'Iraqi Lives Are Worthless,' Liberals Tell Children Before Kissing Them Goodnight."
As on so many other matters, we imbue the president with a power not at all commensurate with his ability to influence events in the world. Also, we drastically overestimate the abilities of the military in these scenarios. When it comes to Syria this is especially dangerous because as the violence ramps up the drumbeat for Obama to "do something" gets louder.
In February 2012, I wrote a column asking if intervention in Syria was inevitable. Now that the situation has deteriorated from awful to catastrophe with tens of thousands killed, hundreds of thousands of refugees flowing across the borders, and the Assad regime's use of chemical weapons, it has become more inevitable and yet worse to contemplate. All the reasons the administration wanted to stay out of Syria have only become more acute even as the pressure to intervene has increased.
Military action has nothing but downsides and unintended consequences. Critics say, put up a no-fly zone, but Syria's air defenses were built to repel the Israeli military. In other words, they are for real. Creating a no-fly zone would mean dismantling, i.e., bombing, much of this network. It would almost certainly kill civilians, perhaps a large number of them, and it would put our own servicemembers at risk. Furthermore, the Syrian military can keep up the campaign on the ground anyway, and as the killing continues there will be increased pressure to strike targets on the ground. Essentially, a no-fly zone would mean starting a hot war with Syria.
Critics say, take out the chemical weapons, but you can't just bomb chemical weapons facilities in populated areas without, again, killing civilians and potentially releasing the chemical agents. The Pentagon says it could take as many as 50,000 troops to fight there way in and secure the sites. Again, call that what it is: starting a hot war with Syria.
So critics say, arm the rebels. But some of the rebels are almost scarier than the Assad regime. The most powerful rebel group is called Al Nusra, and it's leaders were former lieutenants to Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Basically Al Qaeda in Iraq moved across the Syrian border at the beginning of the war and gave itself a Syrian makeover (this includes changing their names to sound more Syrian). These are the people who five years ago were drilling holes in captives and cutting off their heads.
What happens if American-delivered arms end up on the wrong side of a massacre against the ruling Allawite minority? What if anti-aircraft missiles that the Saudis and McCain are eager to supply end up bringing down El Al jets, as one member of the administration speculated to the New Yorker's Dexter Filkins?
Filkins, the great war correspondent, brings up all of this and more in a recent article, but you'd need a seven volume book series to get to the heart of how messy this is. When the Assad regime falls, whether America has intervened or not, there will likely be a bloodbath in Damascus as the various groups vie for control. Syria has so many different ethnic factions and rebel groups at this point, no one knows who or what could come out of this after the fall of Assad, but it will almost surely include more civil war. The slaughter will continue, and we'll have to pick a horse and keep arming that horse even as it goes about killing a lot of other horses. This is Iraq, but more complicated. Like Saddam Hussein, Assad's authoritarian rule was the nail holding the whole house together. Remove the nail, and the entire edifice implodes. It's entirely possible that what comes after Assad falls will be worse than this.
My only point being—other than this is all pretty f***ed up—that it's all well and good to feel like we, the U.S., should do something, but if it's an empty gesture meant to appease guilty consciences rather than anything resembling a concrete plan to stabilize Syria (and that might potentially destabilize it further), maybe it's better to bear the wrath of Lindsay Graham and The Onion after all.

A small nail or screw seems so harmless until it's wedged into your car's tire.
That's what happened to me last week. I managed to limp to a nearby tire shop and coughed up $130 for a new tire.
The experience upset me and disrupted my life, but it also gave me pause to consider whether I should have bought wheel-and-tire protection in 2008 when I bought the car.
I've owned my car for four years and this is the first time I've had a tire problem.
Convenience and logistics often factor into our decisions. Wheel-and-tire plans do have advantages. Many policies offer roadside assistance. And they can be used at repair locations other than the selling dealership, dealers say.
But I already have roadside assistance with my insurer, and I took my car to a repair shop that was less than two miles from my doorstep. That proximity made it easy for family members to shuttle me while my car was being serviced.
Here's the deal: Wheel-and-tire protection likely would have cost more than $600 in 2008 for a five-year policy. And it would have yielded a one-time savings of $133. That math doesn't make sense.
The product probably has been invaluable to some folks, especially those who damage a high-performance tire and wheel rim. That repair could run into the thousands.
But some finance managers might find a challenge to their sales pitch: A customer who's been through it and done the math.

We are pleased to highlight an updated release of the BlackBerry® Java® Plug-in for Eclipse®, which offers support for the latest version of Eclipse® 3.6 (Helios). This new version offers many new features for Java® developers and is designed to help with debugging performance. Another important aspect of this launch is that it marks the start of a new way of plug-in distribution. We wanted to simplify accessing and installing SDKs and help new developers get started as quickly and smoothly as possible.
This means we will no longer provide an update site for the Java Plug-in for Eclipse 1.3 release and BlackBerry® WebWorks™ on Eclipse. However, we will keep update sites available for component pack downloads. Recently, we've been noticing a shift by developers from using one pre-installed Eclipse instance with multiple plug-ins to using several targeted Eclipse installations. This shift helps resolve incompatibilities between plug-ins and Eclipse or JDT versions, which means that there are better plug-in loads, increased stability, and fewer corrupted workspaces.
We also think this new direction for plug-in distribution will decrease partial installs due to Internet connectivity issues in many regions, which we know our developer community – and new developers in particular – have found frustrating.
We recognize that advanced Eclipse users may want to manage their environment on their own for multiple plug-ins. With this in mind, we will continue to explore other options for advanced users. In the meantime, send us your feedback by commenting below, or on our support forums where we've started a thread on this topic. Thanks for your feedback – we're listening!

New Secretary of State John Kerry's first day on the job was yesterday, and he's already making headlines ... for giving credit where credit's due. The former presidential candidate and Senator is apparently well aware that he's walking into a position held over the past eight years by brilliant, beloved, and bold civil servants, who, you know, also happened to be women: Condoleezza Rice and Hillary Clinton. And he wasted no time acknowledging that.
Meeting with a crowd of Foreign Service Officers and staff, Secretary Kerry (oh, that's kinda fun ...) said, "Here's the big question before the country and the world and the State Department after the last eight years: Can a man actually run the State Department? As the saying goes, 'I have big heels to fill'." Haa, cute!
He then went on to get more serious and say:
I guarantee you I'll do everything I can to live up to the high standards that Secretary Clinton and her team put in place.
Whew! Awesome. Not only did he give props to Hill, but he acknowledged Condi is a tough act to follow! And I dunno about you, but I feel pretty reassured. I mean, you never know with these guys ... Especially one who has run for POTUS in the past. Maybe they're just on a power trip! But that's not how John Kerry is coming off at all. I'm hoping a man who can acknowledge he has "big heels to fill" is a guy who has not just the diplomacy, but the humility and smarts to run the State Department right. Looks like we're in capable -- if slightly dorkier, definitely not as totally cool -- hands for the next four years.
Check out the video of Kerry's first day speech ...
How do you feel about the nod John Kerry gave Hillary and Condi?

A company that produces antivirus software for computers says it has discovered the world's first virus that targets the increasingly popular wireless hand-held computers.
Although computer viruses have become common, including last spring's virulent "Love Bug" virus, reports of viruses infecting the smaller personal digital assistants, or PDAs, had previously proved unfounded.
This time, however, "this is not a false alarm," said Vincent Gullotto, director of McAfee.com's Anti Virus Emergency Response Team in Beaverton, which found the virus Thursday night.
The so-called Palm OS/Phange virus did not appear widespread, Gullotto said. "Right now, I don't think it's a big threat," he said.
Palm OS is the operating system used by roughly 79 percent of the world's hand-held computers. It has wireless technology that can connect to the Internet or to networks.
The virus fills the PDA's screen with a dark gray box. The PDA can be repaired simply by shutting it off and turning it on again, and the virus is easily wiped out by deleting any file called Phange.prc.
PDAs, no bigger than a paperback book and no thicker than a checkbook, are growing in popularity with business people for carrying lists of customers and contacts, and also are gaining in popularity for wireless connections to the Internet.
Another program affecting PDAs was discovered earlier this month in Sweden. Liberty appears to be a game but can erase programs stored in an PDA. Such "Trojan horses" do not spread by attaching themselves to other programs, the way viruses such as Palm OS/Phange do.
"It was perhaps only a matter of time before this happened," said Jesse Rothman, director of marketing with Oregon Scientific, which makes a competing line of PDAs that do not use the Palm OS and are not affected by the virus.

'Arrested Development': 6 Things To Remember Before Binge-Watching
The first season of 'Arrested Development' in seven years hit Netflix in its entirety at 3 AM on May 26. If you're like many others, you'll be skipping the Memorial Day cookouts to stream the whole season as quickly as possible. But before you do that, here are a few crucial details to recall so that you can hit the ground running.
It's been a long time since FOX closed its doors on Arrested Development, the cult comedy that has morphed into a cult classic since going off the air. Millions of loyal followers were ecstatic to hear that the show was coming back by dumping 15 episodes all at once on Netflix on May 26. It's a binge TV watchers dream come true! But unless you've re-watched the first three seasons of Arrested recently, we're sure there are a few odd, but hilarious plot points that may have slipped your mind. So keep reading to make sure you're all caught up before you spend a whole day in your pajamas watching a TV show.
Michael & George Michael Flee To Cabo
The final season of Arrested Development ended with Michael (Jason Bateman) hijacking his brother's yacht and sailing away from his godforsaken family along with his son, George Michael (Michael Cera). Not surprisingly, the escape didn't go exactly to plan. Upon waking up the next morning, the father-son duo realized the patriarch of the Bluth family, George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor) had stowed himself away on the boat. Will we get a Mexican side plot between three generations of Bluths? Because it'd be hilarious.
What's Up With George Michael & Maeby?
The most romantic unrequited love connection on TV between two cousins. When we last saw them, George Michael and Maeby (Alia Shawkat) were getting to second base after assuming the Maeby was adopted. She isn't. Is George Michael going to finally be able to shake his cousin-crush?
Gob's Love Life
The magician in the family, Gob (Will Arnett), wasn't really doing any better than his niece and nephew when the series ended. He was actually in a relationship with George Michael's teenage, ultra-Christian ex-girlfriend. Gob usually finds conspicuous was into and out of situations, so we're thrilled to see if and how he gets out of this creepy mess.
Tobias & Lindsay Are Still Married?
Tobias (David Cross) is a never-nude with questionable sexuality, Lindsay (Portia De Rossi) is a selfish sociopath who doesn't really have any qualms about having extramarital relationships. And yes, they were still together when we last saw them. We don't really care whether or not Tobias and Lindsay stay together, but if Tobias ever gets over his never-nude phobia, we won't be able to forgive the show.
Maeby's Making A Movie
Besides making out with her cousin, Maeby also got fired from her job as a movie executive when Tantamount Studios realized she was 16 years old. But she also found out there was a bidding war for the rights to her life story. After pitching her life to Ron Howard (who's also the show's narrator), he suggested that it might work better as a movie. We know, it's just a meta joke, but some of our favorite scenes are Maeby's conman-esque work in the film industry.
And Then There's Buster
The last time we saw Buster (Tony Hale), he had literally fallen off a boat. While he managed to survive the fall from the Queen Mary ocean liner, he appeared to be in grave danger — fresh meat in the open water. And by that we mean the seal that bit off his hand was coming back for more, bearing down on the weird Bluth brother. It was probably the biggest cliffhanger ever.
Now that you're all caught up, we don't expect to hear from you for a couple days. It's okay, everyone else is sitting at home watching Arrested Development too!

Iran Oil Stabilization Fund
This fund no longer exists.
Country: Iran
Established: 1999
US$ Billion: 23
Origin: Oil
Entity Structure: Fund
Iran has created a new fund called the National Development Fund (NDF) that will invest in Iran. The new fund has been created to be an inter-generational national wealth fund. It will replace the existing Oil Stabilisation Fund (OSF). Iran transfers 20% of oil revenues to the National Development Fund.
The original fund (OSF) was created to invest Iran's oil revenues and act as a stabilizer against fluctuating oil revenues.
The investment arm is the IFIC, the Iran Foreign Investment Company. It was incorporated in March 1998 as a private joint stock company with a mission to manage and expand Iranian holdings abroad.
A holding company, IFIC provides financing and financial services and makes investments around the world. IFIC has interests in energy, telecom and IT, banking, insurance, stock markets, industry, mining, oil, gas and petrochemicals, as well as new and future technologies.
Currently IFIC has ventures in different countries including Germany, Brazil, Egypt, Jordan, Sudan, Yemen, Namibia, Oman, United Arab Emirates and Armenia.

The large black oak stands alone in the field. It is a survivor. The tree was spared when the rest of the forest was cut to create a pasture. Unlike their white oak relatives, black oaks usually grow in the shade of a Douglas fir forest. Only when well-established can they tolerate an unfiltered Southern Oregon summer.
It's October, and on a warm, sunny day there is nothing more important for me to do than lie under the tree and stare idly up through the branches. The leaves are turning a bright yellow, but there are other colors as well, including several shades of blue and a touch of red. The red belongs to the acorn woodpecker, and the various shades of blue belong to western scrub jays and Steller's jays.
It is harvest time, and the crew is hard at work. A family of acorn woodpeckers carts off acorns in relays and sequesters them in their granary. The granary consists of thousands of small holes usually drilled in the soft wood of a dead ponderosa pine. Each hole is the perfect size to receive and safely hold an acorn for a meal sometime in the year to come.
The jays also have thoughts of future meals, but their strategy is different. Trip after trip in the clear fall skies, they pluck acorns and sail off to tuck them away for the lean times. Steller's jays head back into the forest, where they bury them or place them in some recess. They are so secretive that I have yet to see one hide its prize.
Scrub jays head in the opposite direction. They head for more open areas. Most often they bury acorns in the ground. One time I watched a jay carefully press one into a lawn. It took several attempts before the jay was able to bury the acorn sufficiently to meet its approval. Then it picked up a fallen leaf and placed it very carefully over the top of the buried acorn. Did the jay really expect the leaf to remain in place and mark the spot until it was ready to return, possibly months later? It's optimism such as this that explains the abundance of black oak seedlings on my property. The nearest mature black oak is some distance away in a neighbor's yard.
The hope is not totally unjustified. Members of the crow and jay family have excellent memories. The champion is the Clark's nutcracker, which lives high in the mountains in places like Crater Lake where snows hide most potential food for much of the year. Studies have demonstrated they can remember where they have cached more than 10,000 seeds for a period of up to nearly a year. Scrub jays live in the lowlands, where there are many more feeding opportunities, and their memories are no match for the nutcracker. It is not as critical that they remember where every stash is. Steller's jays have somewhat better memories than scrub jays, but nowhere as good as the nutcracker.
For now I am savoring one last warm day, content to watch others hard at work. Soon it will be time to retreat to the warmth of the house and my own food cache in the refrigerator.

Davis was pulled from the shelter at the very last minute by a group of dedicated volunteers now dubbed "TEAM DAVIS". Team Davis has been paying out of their own pockets for him to be in board-and-train. His behavior has improved a lot and now we just need a rescue or adopter to take over from here. If you can chip-in a few bucks and share this guy out into the rescue community we'd be forever grateful !!!! WE LOVE DAVIS !!!!!

However, while I do think this is an excellent forum, and it's great for supporting certain kinds of people, I need to know why we lose so many admins - I'm not willing to take over the place of someone who was fired if, for example, Juju were causing the problem with the forum politics. Of course thats not the case, but I think it may need to be discussed, at least, it would if I were to take over.

Long before George R.R. Martin wrote the groundbreaking novel A Game of Thrones, he was the showrunner on the classic 1980s-1990s Beauty and the Beast TV show, with Ron Perlman and Linda Hamilton. And now, The CW is launching a brand new Beauty, which is ostensibly based on the version Martin helped to craft.
We caught up with Martin a while back and asked him what he thought of the fact that there were two Beauty and the Beast shows in the pipeline. He said:
I know that one is allegedly based on our show that I worked on, the CBS show created by Ron Koslow. And one of them is based on the classic fairytale, with castles and the French countryside and so forth, so I guess that's based on the Disney movie, although a live-action thing. So they'll be very different in tone. Everything I hear about the show that's based on the show that I worked on indicates that it's really not going to be very close to the show I worked on. It's going to be significantly different in virtually all respects.

ORLANDO -- The National Automobile Dealers Association and the EPA may not always see eye to eye, but they are collaborating on some common ground: saving energy at car dealerships.
With their brightly lit parking lots, climate-controlled showrooms and repair equipment, dealerships can use quite a bit of electricity.
That is why NADA and the EPA launched a project last month to gather data -- square footage, equipment used, energy consumed -- from 500 dealerships around the country. Analysts from the EPA's Energy Star program plan to crunch the numbers and figure out how much energy a given dealership would be expected to use.
With the resulting software, dealers would be able to get a better idea of where their stores stand. If a dealership is more wasteful than most, it would probably be a good candidate for efficiency projects that cut pollution -- and hopefully, save money too.
Sierra Stoney, an analyst at Energy and Security Group who works as a contractor for the Energy Star program, was trying to recruit dealers today at the EPA's booth here in Orlando. She says it has been a struggle getting more than 20 dealers to take past iterations of the survey, but organizers hope for better luck this time.
"Getting people motivated has been a huge hurdle for us in the past, but the benefits are worth the trouble of getting people to take the survey," she says.
Walking past the aisles of the NADA convention, it was clear that there are plenty of ways for dealers to cut their energy bills. All around, vendors had well-practiced pitches, promising a return on investment from equipment such as high-efficiency lighting.
Among them was Larry Branam, executive vice president at California-based Visionaire Lighting. Today at his company's stand, he testified to the cost savings of replacing high-intensity discharge lights with light-emitting diode fixtures.
An array of 100 light poles costs about $100,000. Branam's company also offers fluorescent lights and high-intensity discharge lights that cost about half as much out of the box. But he says the LEDs -- which use 304 watts apiece, compared to 1,080 for the typical "shoebox" lights on many dealer lots -- offer the biggest savings on utility bills.
"If you can cut your energy bill by 70 percent, you do the math," he said.
NADA hopes that the benchmarks for dealerships, which would be plugged into Energy Star's Portfolio Manager software, will help store managers figure out whether these sorts of energy-saving projects make sense for them.
First, they just need those 500 dealers to submit their data and get the ball rolling.

Rye Gets a Vermouth Finish
- October 4, 2013 |
- By Jack Bettridge
One of the great moments in cocktail history came sometime in the 1870s when some unknown alchemist poured vermouth into a shaker with rye whiskey to make a Manhattan. Today, a small distillery near Philadelphia has reunited these two liquids as a rye whiskey finished in sweet vermouth casks. Only this time we know who conceived the beverage.
Dad's Hat Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey, Finished in Vermouth Barrels, is the brainchild of Mountain Laurel Spirits, headquartered in Bristol, Pennsylvania. The founder and distiller Herman Mihalich says the inspiration for the unique spirit came when he and partner John S. Cooper were sipping Vya Vermouth from California's Quady Winery. The discussion at the time was of Port, however, as the same winery was supplying casks for Dad's Hat Port-finished rye. "We fell in love with the vermouth, and a light bulb went off in our heads. We asked if they could send some vermouth barrels with the Port casks."
The marriage of the two concepts produces a remarkably smooth and flavorful whiskey, especially considering that it is aged for a total of only nine months: six months in charred, new-oak quarter casks and three months in the vermouth barrels.
Dad's Hat, which also makes a plain rye, a white rye and a cask strength, revisits Pennsylvania's early tradition as a center of rye making, says Mihalich. He adds that he grew up in an apartment over a tavern that specialized in rye. Much of today's rye whiskey is made as a side operation at Bourbon distilleries in Kentucky, but originally it was the whiskey of the east. The distiller says that many of the rye-rich spirits of Pennsylvania were not built for long aging.
As a young craft distillery, Mountain Laurel deals with a challenge common to that breed, says Mihalich, namely that "you don't have the luxury to wait eight or ten years for whiskey to mature." This vermouth-cask work-around is a novel and effective solution.
Small casks tend to hurry maturation as the spirit gets more contact with the wood. Mihalich adds that he takes a very narrow cut on the still run, as well, to avoid using impurities that would be mellowed out with a longer maturation period, but would remain in lesser maturatilon.
Even as Mountain Laurel markets younger whiskey, it is preparing to introduce a straight rye aged in a traditional 53-gallon barrel. (The designation straight rye indicates that the whiskey is at least two years old.) The planned straight whiskey was distilled with a fatter cut. (In pot distilling, sections of the first part to come off the still as well as the last part—the heads and tails, or foreshots and feints—are typically discarded to avoid impurities. With age, however, some impurities can transform into desirable flavor notes.)
"If you clean it up too much, it doesn't have any flavor," adds Mihalich.
The company uses a 500-gallon pot still from Carl Artisan Distilleries of Germany in conjunction with an unattached side column still.
The mashbill contains 80 percent rye, 15 percent barley and 5 percent malted rye. The rye is all sourced from local farms in the Philadelphia exurbs. The Dad's Hat grain recipe was developed when Mihalich and Cooper attended the artisanal distillery program at Michigan State University.
The two partners are also cigar lovers, who convene outside the distillery every Friday afternoon when weather permits for smokes in lawn chairs with their whiskey neat or on the rocks. While the vermouth-finish rye sounds as though it would be perfect for a Manhattan, Mihalich counsels against that as overkill. Instead, he recommends using it in an Old-Fashioned or taking it over ice with a twist of lemon.
We, however, could not resist the temptation.
Dad's Hat Pennsylvania Rye Whiskey, Finished in Vermouth Barrels (94 proof, or 47 percent alcohol by volume; aged six months in charred, new-oak barrels, three months in sweet vermouth casks; $49.99 for a 750 milliliter bottle)
APPEARANCE: Deep copper color with a magenta cast. Medium speed, thin legs.
NOSE: No surprise, sweet fruit on the nose on first blush. Afterward comes a rush of spicy notes that are by turns reminiscent of rye's own spiciness and licorice, Christmas flavors and even mint. But there's also a distinct round, warming sensation.
PALATE: Much drier on the palate than on the nose, but even as the sweetness falls off a bit, the warmth and heartiness remains. It spreads out in the mouth with a host of complex herbs and spices: licorice, pepper, tarragon, mint, and basil.
FINISH: Lasts quite long for a whiskey of such young age. Some of the fruit returns as it fades out with a hard candy sweetness of tart orange and cherry.
IN A MANHATTAN: We mixed four separate cocktails with different vermouths, all with a two-to-one whiskey-to-vermouth ratio in conjunction with Fee Brothers Whiskey-Barrel-Aged Bitters, and have to respectfully disagree with Mr. Mihalich's assessment. In the main, this whiskey makes a great Manhattan.
WITH MARTINI & ROSSI EXTRA DRY VERMOUTH: The spices on the whiskey just lit up under the influence of this white vermouth. The aperitif also became more of a player than merely background scenery as so often happens with Dry Manhattans.
WITH NOILY PRATT AMBRE: This was the one clinker in the bunch. The Ambre was far too sweet for the whiskey and the whole thing became rather cloying.
WITH CARPANO ANTICA FORMULA: This partnership was lushness itself, coupled with the steady drumbeat of harmonizing spices. Melts in your mouth and coats it with warmth.
WITH MARTINI GRAN LUSSO: A wonderful woodiness takes over almost from the start, negotiating the comportment of the sweet and spicy elements, which play well together.

Storm Riders
The only movie I caught recently was Storm Riders its was your typical of wire based Kung-Fu flick . Its also your typical mish mash of CTHDragon/LOR/DBZ . The movie is based on a manga/manhwa which I dont follow . So the plot to me was very confusing . The first half is actually interesting but same cant be said about the second . Ended up fast forwarding a lot of content . What blew me or the USP of this movie is not the plot but the special effects CG used.
In terms of Plot it gets a low rating but visually quite stunning .

Anna and King of Siam (1946)
It's the only adaption of the rather fictional stories of Anna Leonowens that I actually like. Despite being a chick flick and made in the over dramatic-mush era, this was quite the humorous movie. I can see why it can be insulting for Thai people, but it was a movie targeted at the western audience anyway. Just gotta love Irene Dunnes performance in this, and despite nearing her 50s, she didn't look a day older than 30 in the movie. And this in a time before botox and cosmetic surgery.

Last watched Evangelion 2.0 and How to Train Your Dragon 3D in cinema.
I thought the Dragon movie was kind of like Avatar's storyline actually (which is pretty cliched by today's standard) -- switching sides, show coolness and be a hero.

The only golden oldies I have watched recently are Pandora's Box / Diary of a Lost Girl both starring Louise Brooks and East of Eden starring Dean .
Aha never knew of this one . I actually watched the musical remake of it King and I (1956) . Though I don't remember much of the movie, as I watched it as a kid on Turner . But I remember the remake, the travesty of sanity starring Chow Yun-Fat. And being a huge fan of Chow Yun Fat's, The Killer it was hard to see him in a musical .
Though I would like to know how these two movies compare King and I / Anna and King of Siam . Here is the Summary / Trailer
I wanted to watch it due to Tony Jaa of Ong Bak fame but the elephants scared me away . Bit too much to digest even setting aside culture differences . Yep takes place in Australia but still not my thing gave it a miss . If you want another movie from the same Director (Prachya Pinkaew) check out Chocolate I really liked it .

Planning too watch Storm Riders 1 tonight ... Saw part 2 the other day so curious to see how the story unfolds in reverse ^^
This is one of best fight scenes I have seen in a long time from Ong Bak . I would probably put it up there with Jackie Chan

Zu Ra, your fear of elephants is costing you a great experience.
the protector is a cool movie on par with ong bak 1. they both have unique action sequences, and u can just fast forward the elephants. (i find it weird tht they cause u so much trouble)
i saw iron man (thanks to someone in this thread who mentioned it earlier)
it wasnt half bad, considering i havent watched a hollywood action movie in ages. in one word it was entertaining. also i saw some crappy asian movies not worth mentioning...

You need the elephants. Tony Jaa's fighting style in the film imitates elephants afterall...
(Also can't wait for Ong-Bak III, and Zu Ra is right, Chocolate was a superb action film which I also highly recommend.)
I'm going through on a Stephen Chow's marathon recently (more or less, everything I can find on netflix): Fight Back To School, All for the Winner, Fist of Fury 1991, Royal Tramp, A Chinese Odyssey , The God of Cookery, etc. Chow is always fun to watch, even in some of his more...simplistic roles...
(For those who haven't seen it, Chow's Kung Fu Hustle is one of the best martial arts films, and just a generally good film, ever made.)
Next up is a more headier marathon: all of Hirokazu Koreeda's films (haven't seen Air Doll yet, but it sounds quite different)...

Clash of the Titans and I want my money back, I liked the original version much more and throughout the entire movie I couldn't help but compare it to God of War and God of War won. Also it seemed very rushed and short, not worth £5.

Watched Kick Ass two days ago. I must say, it's refreshing and fairly original and was quite a fun ride, people in the cinema clapped at the end. However the ever controversy-hungry Aussie media have jumped on the nanny bandwagon over Hit Girl's liberal use of the words 'f*ck' and 'c*nt' throughout the film. At the very least Kick Ass was better than Clash of the Titans.

Though it's not available in theaters, I'd like to recommend the HBO movie, Temple Grandin. Dr. Grandin may now be the most famous autistic person in America. She single-handedly revamped the procedures stockyards use to make them more humane, obtained a Ph.D, and now teaches at Colorado State University. Claire Danes is stunning in the very difficult title role and, in my humble opinion, deserves an Emmy for her performance.
The movie will eventually be released on DVD; for now it's only on HBO.
Oh, and here's another endorsement for How to Train Your Dragon.

If cooking and martial arts is your thing check out Kung Fu Chefs . Its an entertaining movie with ample amount of martial arts thrown in . But logic has to take a back seat . Overall a wholesome movie IMO . I took interest in this genre thanks to this anime Cooking Master Boy (Chuuka Ichiban) . Its a wonderful anime which mixes shonen with cooking .

Whenever I ask locals to name their favorite classic restaurants on Hawaii, the Big Island, my own list grows longer. That's because the destination's dining scene is as vast as its landscape, attractions and activities.
Guidelines help in the restaurant selection process. For me, a classic should be at least 15 years old and appeal to visitors and residents alike. Even then, however, my roster of must-try Big Island eateries is lengthy and varied.
After many meals and much consideration, I have pared down my suggestions to the following 10 spots. They represent a cross-section of enduring settings and menus on the appetizing Big Island.
Bamboo Restaurant and GalleryNostalgia reigns in this restored 1915 North Kohala plantation building with its wooden floors and bamboo screens. Regulars endorse Pacific Rim recipes such as Thai coconut prawns with papaya salsa. The mood is further enhanced by lilikoi (passion fruit) margaritas and live weekend music. Its gallery sells a range of souvenirs — even Hawaiian boxer shorts.
Cafe Pesto The harbor town of Kawaihae isn't much to talk about, but the food at this 1988 landmark sure is. Creative island cuisine includes Asian/Pacific crab cakes and wood-fired pizzas with tomatoes grown in the Big Island. Its sister restaurant in Hilo, open since 1992, mirrors the dedication to local ingredients. Try the risotto with right-off-the-hook seafood.
Hawaiian Style CafeBig servings of local fare await at this homespun and cash-only spot, located in Waimea since the early 1990s. Its fluffy pancakes are so large they barely fit on the plate, and the beef stew has fat, tender chunks of meat. For a different spin on Hawaii's loco moco, order the "Mok-a-Saurus": chicken cutlet, Spam, hamburger patty, Kalua pork, eggs and gravy on fried rice.

Huggo'sLaunched in 1969, this open-air Kailua-Kona classic sits so close to the water that you could practically cast your fishing line out the window. It's aptly known for fresh seafood like grilled mahi mahi and Kailua Bay cioppino. Equally popular: pastas made in-house and a signature teriyaki flank steak. Nightly live local music adds to the sense of place.
Kilauea LodgeA 1938 YMCA camp building has evolved into this warm hub in the chilly volcano highlands. A welcoming fireplace and hardwood floors set a cozy tone for modern takes on traditional European dishes. It's likely the only dining room on the island serving hasenpfeffer — braised rabbit in wine sauce — and German sausages with sauerkraut.
Manago HotelThis 1917 no-frills homestead relaxes in the upcountry town of Captain Cook. Formica tables, old-time photos and cheap prices create a retro mood. Locals swear by its legendary pan-fried pork chops. Not a meat-eater? Try the fresh fish, from ahi and mahi mahi to ono and opelu. Entrees come with rice and three tasty side dishes.
Merriman'sPeter Merriman's original eatery, in Waimea since 1988, demonstrates his trailblazing devotion to area ingredients and the people who harvest them. Fresh fish, grass-fed meats and island-grown produce turn into delicacies such as Kahua Ranch lamb and wok-charred ahi. With white tablecloths and buttery walls, it's upscale but worth the splurge.
Roy's Waikoloa Bar and GrillPart of the chain of Roy Yamaguchi gems, this restaurant opened in 1996 in the Kings' Shops. The chef showcases local ingredients in such Euro-Asian dishes as macadamia Hawaiian monchong, blackened ahi with spicy soy mustard and Waikoloa roast duck. With its refined resort setting, Roy's Waikoloa Bar and Grill is perfect for a special — albeit expensive — night out.
Seaside Restaurant and Aqua FarmThis Hilo tradition dates back to 1921. For decades, the Nakagawa clan has tended to its 30-acre natural fishpond, which is in view from the dining room. The pond is the source of specialties such as fried aholehole (flagtail) and steamed mullet. Seafood entrees feature salmon, butterfish, lobster and prawns. Also notable: prime rib and pan-seared duck.
Teshima What this family-run diner lacks in ambience, it makes up for in quality Japanese/American food. Open since 1929 in south Kona, it draws fans in with fresh sashimi, chicken teriyaki, shrimp tempura and combination meals with miso soup, rice and tsukemono (pickled vegetables). It's well worth a visit to this classic Big Island restaurant.

Eurasia 2009, Part 1
France : 16 to 18th of February
Around 4pm, my mother drops me off at a petrol station along the highway that goes through Tours. I want to go all the way to Asia using all kinds of modes of transportation. I leave with 7kg on my back for the first leg of the trip.
I know i have a 1 out of 10 chance of being picked up by someone if i ask him/her directly, instead of waiting on the side of the road with a sign. My technique is now greatly perfected from all the trial and error : i come up to the person with a map in my hand, letting them think i'm going to ask them for directions and, with a somewhat pityful look in my eye, i say : "Excuse me, but if it's in your direction, would you be kind enough to take me closer to ... (i name a nearby big town)". If they refuse, i still smile and thank them for their time (sometimes they change their mind afterwards).
However, i don't get very far on this first half-day of hitchhiking and i sleep behind a pile of wood near a petrol station.
My second day is much more productive and actually brings me right behind the Italian border, in the Alps. A cold night, but nothing compared to the -20 of the Himalayas. The next morning, i arrive in Milan.
Italy : 18th of February to 14th of March
I stroll around in this city that i already know quite well and enjoy a hot chocolate and delicious ice cream. I then head to my aunt's who lives just north of Milan in Seregno. I enjoy life here, so i spend 3 weeks in Milan, training with Italian traceurs and meeting up at an event with some of the Parkour Generations guys. I enjoy speaking in Italian with random beautiful girls.
At first i want to continue with the hitchhiking, but as i set off, i realise i don't want that anymore, i feel very lost and i can't figure out what i want in my life precisely... I don't want to hitchhike nor to go home, so i think about other possibilities, from cycling to asia to taking a plane for Mongolia, all sorts of ideas rush through my confused mind... In this climate of doubt, i take a train to Trani in the south of Italy and hook up with more traceurs.
I marvel at the generosity of Traceurs all over the world and i know that wherever i go, i will find someone to welcome me. The Parkour community is beautiful !
My italian friends drop me off in front of the ferry that will take me to Igoumenitsa in Greece.
Greece, 15th of March to 2nd of April :
The crossing from Italy to Greece takes 13 hours, and i bought the cheapest possible ticket, so i don't have a cabin and sleeping inside the ferry is impossible because of the lights and noise. So i go out on the deck and find the highest point of the ship to set camp. It's very windy but i'm all tucked in my sleeping bag, under the stars that i try to identify.
In the morning, i stroll around the ferry until i find a nice greek guy who accepts to take me with him in his car towards Athens. He drops me off at the Meteora, a unique and spectacular rock formation on top of which a few monasteries boldly stand. I feel so excited by the place that i spend hours hiking, climbing, exploring, losing myself in the cliffs and caves of the site. When the night comes, i camp at the top of one of the rock formations, not far from a "no camping" sign. The stars are again beautiful, so i lay down my shortened sleeping mat, tuck myself in my sleeping bag and spend an eternity looking up at my heavenly guardians, wondering how humanity can have lost this beautiful habit of sleeping outdoors...
I wake up to a breathtaking panorama, overlooking the nearby cliffs and perched monasteries. After a few more happy hours of exploration, i have a refreshing "shower" in a little stream before getting back in hitchiking mode.
At some point a nice guy picks me up on what is supposed to be a short trip : he is going to the city of Larissa, only 60 km from where he found me. However, i discover very quickly the natural sense of hospitality of greek people, as he invites me to have dinner at his mother's and later on offers to host me for the night. I have a great evening in the company of him and his friends !
I finally arrive in Athens where i am greeted by Aggelos, a greek traceur. Him and his family are so welcoming that i stay ages at their home ! I train with him and his friends and they take me to the famous Acropolis. The site is closed but i want to visit anyway, so i sneak in past the guards and stroll among the temples. As i come out, i realise that someone has posted dogs inside the site and one of them sees me precisely when i see it. It runs after me and i have to use Parkour among the ruins to dodge it. Using it's aggressive stupidity to my advantage, i lure it into a dead end as i climb down a wall on the other side. I make it out unharmed.
I have something in mind, i want to kayak towards the greek islands, so i buy a kayak and set off, only to discover, as soon as i have taken place inside the kayak, that again i have no clue of what i really want to do... In fact, i feel even worse than i had in Italy, and one thing is sure, i don't have enough kayaking experience to set off on such an adventure. I could spend some time building up that experience, but i don't have the energy to do it. I feel bad for a while, as i sit on the shore, telling myself that i am being weak, until it strikes me : this isn't about being weak or strong, it's just about motivation, and i don't have it. I have enough experience to know that i am capable of overcoming difficulties if i really set my mind to it, but in this situation, i just don't want to kayak like this. So why am i there, sitting alone on this beach with a brand new kayak ? I am learning the hard way that a mind is powerful only when it's in peace with its objectives, and mine isn't. There is a time for everything, and one must be in agreement with his own self if he wants to be succesful. But i still can't figure out what my objectives are, why i am even travelling, i feel like a locomotive with no fuel to burn, and no tracks to ride on...
Things are not better on my way to the North East of Greece, by train this time. I am even considering heading back home to give myself some time to think. I decide that once in Istanbul, i will make a choice. So i hitchhike once more and, as i arrive in Turkey, as if i had stepped in a powerful energy field, everything changes in my mind, my motivation comes back and i know i don't want to stop here. Is it the "asian vibe" there that arouses my adventurous mind ? Or the simpleness of the local countryside life that appeals to the "Tom Sawyer" inside me ? Maybe it's a bit of both, and something else i can't identify. Nevertheless, i feel back on tracks and ready to explore the world !
Turkey, 2nd to 8th April :
I'm dropped off in the night close to Istanbul, but i must walk over 2 hours to reach the nearest metro station that takes me to the center.
The next day, like a complete beginner, i loose my passport and credit card... Did they fall out of my pocket, or were they taken ? It's not very clear, but anyway it's my fault, i should have been more careful. I hate myself for a little while as this means that i am going to have to go back home to get new ones, but having faced other delicate situations in the past, i put a stop to my unconstructive self-insulting reflexe and calmly reorganise my plans for the following days, and promise myself i will be back in Istanbul as soon as possible to continue the trip.
I strongly believe that there is always something positive to see, even in negative situations, it's just a question of perception.
I go to the french consulate to ask what the procedure is, and as i expect, they tell me i need a declaration of loss from the police. However, as i quickly understand, the turkish police force is not the most hard-working in the world, and they simply refuse to take 5 minutes to write the document, saying they need a proof from the french consulate, that i am a french citizen. So i go back to the consulate only to be told that they can only give me such a document if they have the damn police declaration, so what am i supposed to do ??
The guy at the consulate tells me that if i can find someone to help translate, perhaps the police will be more helpful, so i leave the place not really knowing where i can find someone like this who would be willing to take some time to help me.
As i step out of the consulate, i randomly turn my head to the left and see a smile, like a flash in my eye. I turn again, and it's still there. It belongs to a very nice and friendly turkish girl (Ozum is her name) who speaks perfect english and very kindly agrees to help out. Together we go to the police station but they still refuse to help, asking again for a proof of my nationality. The guy at the consulate is astonished to see me in such charming company only minutes after he advised me to find a translator.
I'm tired and Ozum has to meet up with friends, so she invites me to join them all and we have a great evening. One of them, Serkan, invites me to stay at his home for as long as i need, i feel moved by this spontaneus mark of generosity towards the total stranger that i am. I want to pay some drinks to everyone, but i only have a little bit of cash left and i must keep it for my own expenses, i speak to Ozum about it but she tells me to forget the european politeness, we're in Turkey...
I spend the following days struggling with bureaucracy nonsense to the point that i consider passing the borders illegally back to France. A visit to the consulate gives me a flash of hope : someone there tells me they found a passport belonging to a "Thomas something" ! Ideas rush through my mind, if i get my passport back i can get on with the trip, with almost no money, sure, but that's quite exciting ! Turns out it's another Thomas, nevermind, on with the paper work...
Takes a few more days but the situation finally clears up. Meanwhile i meet up and stay at Selmin's place, whom i met through the Couchsurfing website. I have a great time in her company and she offers to host me again when i'll come back.
I spend my last night at the airport in order to catch my 5:30AM flight back to France. Part 1 of the trip is finished, part 2 is just around the corner...

Hi Thomas,
It's interesting that you describe your low times when you feel directionless or lost in life. I think a lot of people experience this (or something like it) but don't know how to deal with it.
I prefer to be alone during these times, either for solo training, reading a book, thinking, exploring, developing a new skill, or something else mentally engaging as a distraction until the empty feeling passes. Sometimes this lasts for a few days or even weeks, but the mind that is developed to endure will do so!
I'm looking forward to hearing about the next adventure!

I woke up one recent Saturday to find toilet paper strewn across my front yard. The dastardly act was one of the most popular of the autumn pranks and something I guess has gone on for years, maybe since there has been toilet paper.
During the night, while I slumbered away, minor-league terrorists armed with rolls of generic roles of tissue had draped my maple trees in white streamers that hung damp and limp by the next morning.

FAYETTEVILLE � Arkansas opened 2012 with a pair of Heisman Trophy hopefuls in quarterback Tyler Wilson and running back Knile Davis.
It had NFL-caliber pass catchers in receiver Cobi Hamilton and tight end Chris Gragg. It had other veterans like running back Dennis Johnson, guard Alvin Bailey and center Travis Swanson. So the Razorbacks were optimistic in August, believing they had the pieces to put one of the nation�s best offenses on the field even without former coach Bobby Petrino calling plays from the Arkansas sideline.
It hasn�t worked out as Arkansas (4-7, 2-5 in SEC) closes the 2012 season against No. 7 LSU (9-2, 5-2 in SEC) in Razorback Stadium on Friday.
The Razorbacks enter the final game of the season as one of the lowest-scoring teams in the SEC, averaging 24.5 points in its 11 games. Arkansas� inability to generate points on special teams and defense have played a role in the scoring decline this fall, but the offense has shouldered plenty of responsibility as well.
Wilson said the Razorbacks can�t erase those struggles now.
But there is something they can accomplish in the season finale.
�This is it,� Wilson said. �Now, we�ve got one game left. So, why not go out there and light it up one more time? That�s how I�m looking at it.�
So Arkansas� offense will take one final swing against an LSU defense ranked among the best in the nation. The Tigers are fifth in the NCAA in total defense (281.1 yards a game) and 12th in scoring defense (17.3 points).
It�s a stiff test for a group that hasn�t scored more than 20 points in its past three games. Or one that reached 30 only three times this season. But receiving Cobi Hamilton said Arkansas remains eager for the challenge Friday.
�It would mean a lot,� Hamilton said. �With this group of guys, this whole offense.
�We�ve seen guys like Tyler and Swanson emerge into the players they are. It would mean a lot to try to finish off with a good showcase together.�
To do so, Arkansas will have to curb the self-inflicted wounds that have damaged them all season. Penalties, blown assignments, red zone woes and turnovers have been the calling card for the offense, turning promise into frustration most weeks.
Injuries to key players like Gragg, who will miss his seventh game because of a knee injury, have played a factor in the demise. Davis� surprising ineffectiveness has been a big part of the struggles as well. And Arkansas� overall shakiness up front in both pass protection and the run game has contributed to the woes.
Turnovers have been even bigger killers. Wilson has thrown 12 interceptions, which includes seven in the past four games. Arkansas has fumbled 33 times, losing 14.
The five-turnover day at Mississippi State pushed Arkansas� total to 29 entering the season finale. Only four other teams in the country (California, Houston, Western Michigan and Idaho) have committed more turnovers this season.
It has led Arkansas to its lowest scoring and total yardage averages since 2008, when Arkansas managed 21.9 points and 373.1 yards in Petrino�s first season. It has been a far cry for a group that averaged at least 36 points a game from 2009-11.
�It�s always trying,� Arkansas offensive coordinator Paul Petrino said. �Especially when you see times in the game you have a great plan and it�s executing and you�re doing well. And then you kind of just self-destruct, turn the ball over.
�It�s frustrating. But it�s part of life. You get knocked down, you get up, you keep fighting. You keep throwing with both hands as hard as you can.�
Petrino, Wilson and Hamilton still see opportunities against LSU, which appears to be most vulnerable in the secondary with young players in key roles.
Ole Miss scored points on the Tigers in a nail-biting loss last Saturday, while Alabama sliced through the secondary on a game-winning drive earlier this month.
�They�ve been in some dog fights this year,� Wilson said. �It gives us an opportunity. We come in and play well. We prepare. We play emotional. We play with a little bit of a chip on our shoulder, although we haven�t done that in the past few weeks.
�We do that and there�s no doubt we have a chance.�
That�s all the Arkansas offense � which had so much promise when the season began � is asking for now in the finale. One more chance to make an impression.
�That would be awesome,� Petrino said. �That would be great to go out there that last game and have everybody play real well, execute and leave the field with a great feeling.�

Mayor Don Wesely presented awards to the Gallup Organization, the University of Nebraska - Lincoln and Park Middle School for their efforts to recycle office paper during "Clean Your Files Week" April 22 through 26. More than 34 buildings and institutions participated in the nationwide event to encourage the recovery of files and papers that were no longer needed. The event was one of the activities held in conjunction with Earth Day April 22.
"When I became Mayor, I implemented a program sponsored by the U.S. Conference of Mayors to provide an opportunity for businesses and governmental employees help improve our environment," said Wesely. "This was the third year for 'Clean Your Files Week' in Lincoln, and we are very pleased that almost 61,000 pounds of valuable office paper was recycled during the week. Lincoln congratulates all the groups who participated, and I hope they and others will make recycling a year-round effort."
The Gallup Organization won the business award for collecting more than 60 pounds of paper per employee. The school to collect the most paper was Park Middle School, with almost two pounds of paper recycled per student. UNL won the award for the most paper collected by a governmental entity by recycling more than 11,170 pounds.
Joining the mayor in the awards presentation were representatives of the Lincoln Public Schools; the University of Nebraska; Midland Recycling and WasteCap of Lincoln.

Tea Party Official In Cochran Photo Case Found Dead
RIDGELAND, Miss. (AP) — Police in Mississippi say a tea party official arrested after photos were taken of U.S. Sen Thad Cochran's ill wife has been found dead. They are treating the case as a suicide.
Ridgeland Police Chief Jimmy Houston says the body of attorney Mark Mayfield was found Friday morning at his home in a gated community outside Jackson.
Houston says Mayfield had been shot, and a suicide note was found.
Mayfield and three other men were arrested last month and face various charges of conspiring to photograph Rose Cochran in the nursing home where she has lived since 2001 with dementia.
The photos were later used briefly in an anti-Cochran political video posted briefly online during the Republican primary.

Oh my, where are the fairy-tale characters? Why can't we believe that these fairy tales are real? Well, because I'm not sure that there is any chance that a princess or prince charming will ever show up in your life. It didn't happen for my wife and I when we married nearly 50 years ago after courting as teenagers for more than three years. We still are each other's best friend, but it has not been a fairy-tale adventure.
One of the oldest and best of the truly American dishes enjoyed all across our country is corn pudding — sweet, just-ripe summer corn freshly cut from its cob, delicately seasoned and bound in a rich custard. It's so popular that many Americans may be better acquainted with its out of season version made with canned cream-style corn. But while that's good, it simply can't compare with one made from fresh-from-the-field corn so naturally sweet that some old cookbooks suggested serving it with wine sauce as a dessert.
Because divorce has a tendency to affect all areas of life, it is vitally important for those who have been, or are presently going through divorce, to be of some assistance to help each individual to make sure they keep on having hope that life goes on. The process of divorce can leave one believing that life is over (at least it feels that way). Today's article will hopefully begin to help in the rebuilding process that keeps life intact and develops a quality of life, although that may presently seem impossible.
Dear Savvy Senior,
What resources can you recommend to help seniors with incurable vision impairment? My wife has macular degeneration and has become very discouraged.
Looking for Help
Dear Looking,
Unfortunately, there are nearly 2 million Americans, like your wife, living with macular degeneration today, making everyday tasks like cooking dinner, reading the newspaper or watching television extremely challenging. Here are some resources that can help.
Vision Rehabilitation
Whether you were raised as an only child, one with several siblings, raised as a foster child, or adopted, whether you were raised with both parents still married or divorced, this can/will often have a minor or major impact on childhood, other things being considered.
Not all children who have been raised with divorced parents, for example, are subject to the same patterns of care or lack thereof. Some children have spent the better part of their childhood raised in an orphanage with only substitute-type parenting.
Dear Savvy Senior,
Where can I get reliable, unbiased information on reverse mortgages? My wife and I are thinking about getting one but want to do some research first.
Need Money
Dear Need,
For seniors that are house rich but cash poor, a reverse mortgage is a viable option, but there's a lot to know and consider to be sure it's a good choice for you. Here are some tips and tools to help you research this complex financial product.
Kid-friendly meals with a tropical twist
Is your family tired of eating the same thing for breakfast, lunch or dinner? Not sure if trying a new recipe fits into your busy schedule? It's easier than you think to break out of the usual routine, especially when you have a quick, kid-friendly recipe that brings a taste of the tropics to your meals.
Dear Savvy Senior,
Do you know of any golfing gadgets or equipment that can help senior golfers? My 78-year-old dad loves to play golf, but arthritis in his hands makes griping the club difficult. He also has a hard time bending over to tee up or retrieve the ball. Is there anything out there that can help?
Helpful Son
Dear Helpful,
Have you ever been in a conversation with someone, whether spouse, friend or family member, and you just knew that the person you were addressing was not listening, yet they were looking at you the whole time you were talking? Well, when this happens it can be a mild or major source of irritation, even anger.
Dear Savvy Senior,
I've heard that there are resources available that can help people look for lost or forgotten money left behind by their deceased relatives. When my mother and father passed away their financial affairs were in such a mess, I'm wondering if there was anything I overlooked. What can you tell me?
Searching Son
Dear Searching,

Living in Limbo, Author to Explain Blue-Collar Roots in White-Collar World• February 6, 2004 Share:
By Jacob Pactor
Editor of The Bachelor
How do blue-collar high school graduates transition into white-collar college life? How do they not forsake their blue-collar roots once they enter the hallowed arches of higher institutions? After college graduation, how do they combine their blue-collar upbringing with their white-collar education?
Alfred Lubrano, author of "Limb Blue-Collar Roots, White-Collar Dreams," will visit Wabash on Thursday, March 25, 2004 with some answers. He will give a public lecture at 11:15 am in the Wabash College Chapel in conjunction with the Sphinx Club's Chapel Talk Series. At 4:15 pm, he will continue the conversation in Baxter Hall, Room 101. Also a journalist at the Philadelphia Inquirer, Lubrano will visit Professor Jennifer Young's Rhetoric of the News Media class and eat lunch with current student journalists.
Defining them as 'Straddlers,' Lubrano weaves in the challenges and difficulties white-collar educated, but blue-collar background folk have once they leave home. He should know. The first-generation college attendee, Lubrano attend Columbia while his father, a bricklayer, built buildings at Columbia. His story resonates with the stories of so many in the Wabash community.
"If you have any bloodlines at all to the working class, you will recognize– and newly discover–yourself in Alfred Lubrano's inspired book. It's the very American, real-as-a-streetfight story of a bricklayer's son's own uneasy journey out of Bensonhurst woven movingly with the journeys of a legion of other 'Straddlers,'" Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author Sydney Schanberg said about "Limbo."
The Bachelor, Student Senate, The Hadley Fund and the Lecture Committee sponsor Lubrano's visit.
