STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit w/ 180F Thermostat **EXTENSIVE REVIEW/DIY**
As I have continued to modify and improve my BMW, I have constantly tried to address weaknesses inherent to our platform. One of the very well known weaknesses on the N54 is the high oil temperatures. Sadly, the N54 and high oil temperatures go hand in hand. Upgrading the oil cooler has been a must on my list for a long time, but obviously I havent completed the mod until now. To be completely honest, I have really struggled to find the right solution for my needs. I wanted a stock core upgrade, oil line upgrade, and a kit that upgraded the stock thermostat. One of the biggest hurdles in my opinion has been the 230-235F thermostat that regulates when the N54 will use is oil cooler. Basically, the stock thermostat means your oil cooler is worthless until the temperature goes over 230-235F with no exception. Whether you have 1 or 50 oil coolers on the N54 they are worthless until you go over 230-235F and that really stinks. I think this has been one of the biggest reasons I have shelved upgrading my oil cooler... until now.
Recently I heard STETT Performance had an oil cooler they were bringing to the 135i/335i market and this caught my attention. I have had great success with STETT Performance in the past, so I contacted them for more info. What I found is that STETT has 2 stages of oil cooler kits that are designed around replacing the weak spots in the stock oil cooler. Both stages included a larger Setrab Oil Cooler, Setrab Oil cooler fittings, an optional thermostat, new braided high quality oil lines, diffuser plate, STETT adapter plate / thermostat delete, gasket, etc. After seeing pictures of the kit, I really decided this kit would help me address the high oil temps inherent on the N54 so I ordered the stage 2 kit.
In this review of the STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit I will cover my experiences with STETT, quality of the parts, extensive details DIY'ing the install, and share the results / analysis of my testing.
Experience With STETT Performance & Detailed Pictures of the Kit
I seem to be saying this often, but my experiences with STETT Performance have been superb and I expected nothing less. From day 1, STETT was very responsive to my emails and questions. Chad Stett responded normally within a few hours of every email I sent. Chad's expertise was apparent every time we spoke and I feel lucky to have had the opportunity to tap into his wisdom. After ordering the kit, STETT emailed me the day that my package would be shipping and FedEx tracking info was active that same night. I was able to track the package to my house, so I could re-organize my schedule for the install. I should note a few parts changed along the way, so I waited until I got the finalized kit before completing the install and writing the review.
The STETT Oil Cooler Kit includes:
All items were protected by styrofoam peanuts and individually wrapped where necessary.
I removed all of the items from the box and got my first glimpse of each product. The Setrab core is just huge and the quality of each part is off the charts!
The STETT CNC laser cut billet aluminum adapter plate is an absolutely beautiful item.
BMW gaskets for the adapter plate.
The braided oil lines, Setrab fittings, and optional 180F thermostat.
You can get the oil lines in two different version. Since I added the thermostat after the initial order, STETT sent me a second set of oil lines with the agreement that I would return the original lines. It should be noted STETT Performance will cut oil lines if you order the optional thermostat or let you cut them to the length you want. I chose to have STETT cut them to the correct length and mount the fittings in-house. In the picture below, you can see the uncut oil lines on the right and the cut-to-length oil lines on the left.
The braided oil lines, Setrab fittings, and optional 180F thermostat.
The Setrab fittings and adapters are very nice!
The braided lightweight oil line is high quality.
Optional heat shielding for the oil lines. I chose not to use them since the braided lines look so good. Haha!
STETT Performance Diffuser to channel air to the oil cooler core. This item has the distinctive STETT powder coating I love!
STETT Performance oil cooler mounting plate and spacer. Notice the beautiful laser cut logos, CNC cut plates, and wrinkle coating.
Now onto the big boy... the stage 2 Setrab oil cooler. It is a BIG.
It is 11" wide and 10" tall.
The STETT stage 2 oil cooler kit is absolutely top shelf in every way. Honestly, I don't think they cut a single corner on the kit. I am absolutely very happy with it!
DISCLAIMER: You work on your car at your own risk and take full responsibility for any damage caused to your vehicle. Please understand you can injure yourself or kill yourself if you do not take proper precautions when working on your vehicle. Please use extreme caution when working underneath your car. Allow your oil to cool before working on your car. This DIY is simply an example of the way I installed the STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit on my own vehicle.
STETT Performance does include instructions with the kit that you download as a PDF. The instructions were decent, but I think could have been better, so I will supplement them and go through the entire install. Basically if you could install an intercooler, then you can install an oil cooler. I will say it is not for everyone to DIY, but since I consider this only a moderate level install, I will cover the entire install. This will be a long DIY with 63 pictures to aid your efforts. I will attempt to be very thorough.
Standard tools are required for this install. If you are metric, some larger box wrenches up to 27 mm will help. AN tools are also handy to tighten the Setrab fittings, but not necessary. Before you start the install, I would go to your local Lowe's or Home Depot to pick up some painter's drop cloths and have a supply of rags on hand.
You should also have an oil catch container.
The installation begins with some small prep work. You will need to remove the splash shield under the car and the passenger side fender well. There are a number of DIYs covering this, so I will defer to them. Here they are removed from the car.
This will expose the stock oil cooler. In case you didn't know, the stock oil cooler sits inside the bumper on the passenger side of the car near the fender well.
Next you will need to remove the front bumper. Again, with plenty of DIYs on the front bumper removal, I will defer to them. This will expose everything you need to jump into this install.
I started the project by removing the brake duct and oil cool plumbing on the passenger side of the car.
There are a couple of obvious bolts to remove so you can remove the ducting.
After removing the bolts, take the duct work out and set it aside. You will not re-use this.
This is really the only prep work that needs to be done prior to removing the crash bar on the front of the car. This is the big black metal bumper that you exposed when you removed the bumper skin. To start the process of removing the crash bar, you will remove the wire from the snaps on the top of the crash bar. This is for the ambient temperature sensor.
Next, you will remove the torx screw that holds the re-inforcing vertical bar.
From here, you need to unscrew, unplug, and remove the horns on either side of your crash bumper. They are held on by a single nut. Set them aside as you will re-install them later.
Now we are ready to remove the front bumper. Each model year BMW appears to be different. Some have a rivet in additional to nuts/bolts holding on the front bumper. My car had the rivets, so I drilled them off first. Use a 3/16" drill bit and just drill the rivet head off on both driver's side and passenger side of crash bar.
Two nuts hold the top and two nuts hold the bottom of the crash bar. This is the same on the driver's and passenger side of the car.
I would keep one nut loosely attached to the crash bar so you can brace it as you get ready to remove it. When you are ready, simply pull the bar out of the car and set it aside.
If you did have the rivots, just pop the rest of the rivot out of the crash bar mounting area now with a small phillips screw driver.
This basically covers the work necessary to get to the install and fully exposes the stock oil cooler.
From here we will move onto the process of removing the stock oil cooler and lines. The stock oil cooler is sealed, so it will not leak. Let's unbolt the stock oil cooler which is held in place with 2 bolts on the driver's side and 2 bolts on the passenger side.
Leave the oil cooler hanging and now we need to prep the engine bay so we don't get oil everywhere. Grab your rags and drop cloth you bought earlier. This will make things a LOT cleaner and easy to clean up after.
You just want to cover everything other than the oil filter adapter and oil lines, so the oil will not get all over your engine bay when you remove the stock oil cooler.
Place the oil catch container under the part you are working on to catch the oil as it leaks out. First we are going to remove the stock oil cooler itself, so place the oil catch can under the lines shown below. Remove the single bolt and slide the hoses apart then remove the oil cooler. It is normal for to leak oil out of the lines.
Place the stock oil cooler and lines in the oil catch container for a while to drain them. Now lets move over to the oil adapter/thermostat area. We will first remove the remainder of the oil lines. Again, slide the oil catch can under the area you are working on. These lines are held on by a single bolt under the thermostat housing.
Finally, we will remove the thermostat housing. It is held on by three torx screws as shown below. Remove the torx screws and take off the thermostat housing.
Remove the gasket from the housing and replace it with the new one from the STETT kit.
Clean things out as necessary and prep the housing for the install of the STETT adapter plate / thermostat delete. The STETT part re-uses the stock bolts. Just line it up and tighten it down.
If you bought the 180F thermostat then now is a good time to install it. I mounted mine by the vacuum canisters because it was inline with the hoses and looked OEM. If you choose this route, simple remove the frame that holds the vacuum canisters. It is held on by one bolt and two nuts.
Now lift out the frame and canisters so you can trace and drill the mounting holes.
Drill two 5/8" holes in the canister framing to mount the thermostat bracket on. Once you verify the holes are large enough for the bolts, mount the bracket. A step drill bit can be really helpful as you slowly increase the diameter of the drilled holes.
We will now prep the oil cooler for mounting and test fit it. Attach the oil cooler to the STETT mounting plate using the supplied hardware.
In case you were curious about the size difference between the STETT Performance stage 2 oil cooler and stock, well here you go. The STETT is huge! To be honest, it is almost funny how much larger it is than the stock oil cooler.
With the oil cooler mounted to the bracket, test fit it by placing it on the 4 studs on the passenger side where the crash bumper was mounted. I found interference with a small bracket and removed it to clear the oil cooler. The small bracket can be seen below as indicated by the red arrow. It is held on by a torx bolt shown by the blue arrow.
I just removed the small bracket and replaced the bolt. Again, test fit the mounting bracket and you should have no clearance issues now. If you have eliminated all clearance issues, then move forward.
I would run your oil lines at this point, but don't tighten the fittings yet. A few things to note. Make sure you follow the orientation suggested in the oil thermostat paperwork... the supply side of the thermostat (spring) on top and the return side of the thermostat (bar) on bottom. The supply side of the STETT adapter plate is the passenger side and the return side is the driver's side of the STETT adapter plate. Attach the lines from the thermostat and route them through the fender well to where you will mount the oil cooler. Leave the lines hanging and protected from debris.
With everything ready to go, it is time to fill the oil cooler with oil. As easy as this sounds, you should be precise here. If air bubbles get trapped in the oil cooler it can cause some oil pressure issues. The standard way to fill an oil cooler is with openings facing up or vertical. This means air bubbles can easily escape. I filled the cooler to the top then connected the oil lines to the cooler. Setrab recommends using oil on the rubber gaskets on the fittings and grease on the threads.
Now it is really time to start to button things up. Mount the oil cooler on the 4 studs where the crash bumper mounts up to on the passenger side. Mount the STETT spacer plate on the 4 studs on the driver's side where the crash bumper mounts. Reinstall the crash bumper, horns, and wire for your ambient temperature sensor. Leave the nuts loose for now on the crash bumper.
Before final fitment, we need to mount the diffuser to route the air to the oil cooler. When lining up the diffuser, I had a clearance issue with a small bracket near the oil cooler as shown below.
I used my dremmel and simply sanded the interfering part off.
Next, I lined up the holes in the diffuser and drilled small holes to mount it in the plastic frame on the side of the intercooler. Once drilled, I installed the diffuser plate using the sheet metal screws included.
Now it is time to really button things up. I would lift up on the outside of the oil cooler to ensure it is as vertical as possible and tighten down the crash bumper nuts. That should lock the oil cooler in place. Route your oil line and tuck excess above the oil cooler itself.
This is a good time to torque all the fittings down. You will need a 23mm and 27 mm box wrench to tighten things down. I used painter's tape to protect the fittings during the torquing process.
After the fittings are tight, remove the painters tape and mount thermostat in the bracket. Everything should look very clean and tidy at this point.
Now we are in the final stages of the installation. Test fit your bumper to assure clearance as it will be tight on the stage 2 kit.
If your bumper fits with no clearance issues, then bolt it back up. Don't forget to reconnect the fogs and TPMS on the driver side. You will need to relocate the TPMS on the passenger side.
Relocating the TPMS on the passenger side is a piece of cake. Just pull the tabs out, drill new holes above the stock oil cooler vent on the fender liner, and re-secure the tabs.
The last step in this process is cutting a large exit for the air to leave your fender after passing through the oil cooler. A dremel with cutting wheel works beautifully here. Just put the fender up to the oil cooler, trace the opening and trim away. Since the stock oil cooler vent lines up well, I just extended opening itself.
I shaved the back of the stock oil cooler vent as well to assure no clearance issues.
Finally, I used some weather strip from Pep Boys to keep it clean looking.
Now re-install the fender liner and connect the TMPS. Again, here is what the final product looks like from above and when looking at the front bumper.
This is not a novice install, but I do not think this is an expert install by any means or I would not DIY the process. If you are comfortable installing a methanol kit or intercooler, then this is well within your skill level. The STETT kit is built very, very well and installs very easily.
Results & Analysis
Quality and well fitting parts are great, but the bottom line is they must perform or they have no place on my car. When I decided to get this oil cooler, I knew I wanted to log performance gains on my car. I set out to get a baseline standard data set from the stock oil cooler that I could compare with the new STETT Performance stage 2 oil cooler kit. All of the data was taken under the following conditions:
The initial testing on the stock oil cooler was with 78F ambient temperatures over a specific course. What I did not expect was the temperatures would not get close to that number in my area after the STETT oil cooler install. That leaves quite a dilemma for me unfortunately. I could repeat the exact course again without a problem, but to do a true comparison I need to have the same ambient temperature or I will be the first to admit that it has bias and is not a completely fair comparison. Again, the bad news is that I will not be near the initial 78F ambient for the short term foreseeable future so I had to complete the testing on at 40F ambient. I decided it was still worth completing the testing with the known bias and promise as soon as that ambient is 78F to repeat the testing.
My hope is this data sheds light on how the stock oil cooler performs and how the STETT stage 2 oil cooler compares.
The testing procedure was as followed on both the stock oil cooler and STETT stage 2 oil cooler kit:
Stock Oil Cooler TestingThe stock oil cooler testing was done on a day where the ambient temperature was 78F.
19 minute warm-up with stock oil cooler
This simply gives a comparison for us to estimate how fast the car will warm up with the STETT stage 2 oil cooler with 180F thermostat. You can see how the car rapidly approaches the 230-235F thermostat temperature at about 19 minutes then levels off. It will be interesting to see if the new oil cooler show a similar characteristic.
First 6 minute hard spirited run with stock oil cooler
As stated above, this run was a 6 minute hard, spirited, high rpm drive. You can see the oil temps on this run start around 234F around where the stock thermostat allows oil to your stock oil cooler. Notice the long and high rpm pulls over and over. After 6 minutes of continued hard, spirited driving I was able to easily get an oil temperature of 262F. That is really disturbing that you can drive the oil temps so high so quickly even with an oil cooler on my car.
Second 6 minute hard spirited run with stock oil cooler
Again, this run was a 6 minute hard, high rpm drive conducted immediately following the first spirited run. I simply stopped, exported the log, and went in the opposite direction over the same course. During this run you can see the oil temps consistently hold around 248F to 255F. I think it is important to note that 255F+ oil temps are not difficult to get on a modded 335i. I am not sure about other guys, but I am not comfortable at all with how easy it is to get my oil temperatures so high. 260F is too hot in my opinion.
10 minute highway roll with stock oil cooler
This run was completed directly following the second 6 minute spirited run. I simply stopped, exported the log, and continued driving. You can see the 260F oil temperatures I started with sank quickly to near 245F after the spirited run then settle to about 240F. Nothing ground breaking here.
12 minute normal driving with stock oil cooler
This run was completed directly following the 10 minute highway roll. I simply stopped, exported the log, and continued driving. On this run, oil temperatures remain steady around 235 240F. Again, there is nothing ground breaking, but the data was worth collecting.
STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler with 180F Thermostat TestingThe testing with the STETT Performance stage 2 oil cooler kit was done on a day where the ambient temperature was 40F. The testing should be done on a day with identical ambient temperatures, but unfortunately that was not possible.
20 minute warm-up with STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit
The same procedure of warming up my car was used here. No high rpm pulls and no boost. Notice the same exact shape of the curve as our stock oil cooler, except here it levels at the new thermostat temperature of 180F. In my opinion, this is a much better oil temperature to run.
First 6 minute hard spirited run with STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit
This test again was done immediately following the warm-up procedure. Again this was sustained high rpm, spirited driving. The hottest I could get the oil temperature was 212F and that was really pushing the car as hard as I possibly could. That is nothing less than an enormous difference from the stock oil cooler. It is impossible to quantify exactly how much the colder ambient temperatures effected things, but I personally dont think they can account for the 50F difference I saw. The thermostat opens faster on the STETT kit and you have a useful oil cooler now from 180F up.
Second 6 minute hard spirited run with STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit
The testing again was done immediately following the first spirited run. I simply stopped, exported the log, and re-ran the exact same course. One thing I noticed is the car bled the heat off the oil much faster, but that is likely the much colder ambients biasing things a bit here. After 6 more minutes of very hard driving, I could not get the car over 210F. The STETT oil cooler here outperformed the stock oil cooler by nearly 45F.
12 minute highway roll with STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit
This testing was done immediately following the second spirited run. Notice how the oil temperatures rapidly converge on the new 180F temperature on the STETT oil cooler. This is as expected, but nice to see how much cooler the car drives! The car is basically running with oil temperatures about 55F colder.
12 minute normal driving with STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit
This testing was done immediately following the highway runs. The characteristics of the car remain the same as stock, but run about 50-55F colder. In my opinion, this is a very good thing.
A comparison between the STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit and Stock Oil Cooler
This really has to be the money shot. It is known how easily the N54 can limp with hard pulls, especially when we are on the track due to high oil temperatures. The STETT kit is allowing you to start using your oil cooler at 180F instead of 230-235F. Under the hardest runs with the stock oil cooler, I hit around 262F but on the STETT oil cooler kit I hit 212F. Again, it is impossible to quantify the exact difference the ambient made, but I think it is safe to say the STETT kit is huge improvement over the stock oil cooler! There is a difference of 50F on my oil temperatures after installing the STETT kit.
STETT Performance really has been a rock of consistency for me in the entire time that I have owned my BMW. Their communication was superb. Chad Stett offered his expertise on numerous occasions and helped with any install questions I had. The package was well protected and shipped with prompt tracking info. The STETT Performance Stage 2 Oil Cooler Kit is simply a superb quality kit. From the CNC cut adapter plate, to the lines, to the mounting brackets, to the core this kit is absolutely top shelf.
With the STETT stage 2 oil cooler kit and 180F thermostat, the car simply ran cooler. My car warmed up to operating temperature in nearly the same time as the stock oil cooler, my car ran cooler at highway speeds, and my car ran cooler in normal traffic. In the most important spirited runs, the car ran an incredible 50F colder. It is impossible to say how much the different ambient temperature affected things and more testing will be needed when the weather allows. In theory, 40F colder ambients will not create 40F colder oil temperatures, so we know a big portion of the improvement must be attributed to the kit.
I think STETT approached improving the oil cooler on the N54 the right way a stock core upgrade, better oil lines, better hardware, and a lower temperature thermostat. I couldnt be more pleased with what I got from STETT Performance. I have said this before and I will say it again, I would not hesitate for a second to purchase from STETT Performance again.

This is awesome indeed! Impressive review as usual! A few notes:
* I am surprised that STETT did a completely new bracket for the oil filter housing. They could have simply use the two bolts on top of the oil filter housing.
* Having a larger oil cooler also increases the total capacity of the oil system. More oil capacity means that it will take longer for the oil to get contaminated and beaten up from the normal driving.
* The larger oil cooler core is great for shedding temperatures quickly, but in my opinion, it is the thermostat that has the biggest effect on the oil temperature. I strongly believe that with a 180F degree thermostat, the stock oil cooler will perform close to what you are seeing. It won't be able to shed the temps as quickly as the STETT one, but the overall temps will be the same or close to it.
* I wonder how the lower oil temps will affect the engine efficiency. If I am not mistaken, our engines are designed to achieve maximum efficiency at over 200F.
Do you know if the stock thermostat can be replaced without having to purchase an aftermarket oil cooler?

My goodness bro, I hope you get paid for these reviews, that is insanely extensive.
I know the product is great, and at one point I was looking for an oil cooler with a lower thermostat, but that install is a NIGHTMARE.
Thanks for the review though.

Wow again! Looks great. I was wondering where the thermostat was located after seeing the billet adapter in the 'teaser' pics of the CAI.
Does anyone know if that group buy started?

What is the stock thermostat set at? I wish somebody would make a 180F thermostat for the stock oil cooler and see what happens.
I have exhaust and an intake...

I have the AR front mounted additional oil cooler, which uses the stock thermostat. Ideally I would have loved a lower temperature thermostat to go with the set-up. What would you recommend? Thanks.

Excellent write-up!
Too bad no one has simply come up with a new OC thermostat to directly replace the factory one.
BTW, does this new thermostat allow it to flow slightly at all times, or is it either open or shut?

It is funny you mention the quality parts being hidden because that was my exact same reaction. I think it speaks volumes about what STETT is creating though. When you put that much effort into a part that is hidden behind the crash bar, you really care about the parts you are creating.

It is hard to say how the stock cooler would respond with a lower thermostat and I have thought about that too. The problem is that the stock oil cooler ducting is remarkably restrictive. I personally think that ducting should never have come with the car to begin with.
I think the 180F thermostat in non-winter conditions will allow you to operate near the 200F threshold you mention. I am honestly not sure what to believe from BMW now. I think their agenda is not always performance or we would have 260F oil temps so easily.

Ahaaa! I got it now! I was not sure where the OEM oil thermostat is located at. It is clear to me that STETT did things correctly now.
Yeah, I would be very interested in seeing an aftermarket oil filter cover with 180-200 degree thermostat.

The Ten Best Simpsons Songs, As Picked by the Show's Writers
Who needs the Kwik-E-Mart? Not them!
Today ended our three-week Sitcom Smackdown to determine the best sitcom of the past 30 years, and The Simpsons emerged as the ultimate champion. And what better way to celebrate this victory than through song? So we asked the writers of The Simpsons to come up with their list of their ten favorite muscial numbers from the show's 24-year history. Check out their selections, with commentary from showrunner Al Jean. Prepare to be rocked, Dr. Zaius–style.
10. "Capital City" from season two's "Dancin' Homer." In this song by Jeff Martin, Tony Bennett extols the virtues of Springfield's state capital, which includes the crosstown bridge, the Penny Loafer, and 4th Street and D. The song helped Tony Bennett reach a younger audience, but did nothing to help The Simpsons reach an older audience. [Co-creator] Sam Simon reached out to Bennett. There was an internal debate over whether or not to have a guest star playing himself. We hadn't done that before. The real world won.
9. "High to be Loathed" from season 24's "Gorgeous Grampa." Written by Matt Selman and Allen Simpson (no relation to the Simpsons). This song explores yet another dark side of Montgomery Burns and appears in the same episode where the Simpsons do the "Harlem Shake," effectively putting an end to that fad. It's getting harder to do songs. When we started, the idea of an animated show doing a musical number was novel. Now shows like SNL do things like "Dick in a Box," and Family Guy does musical numbers all the time. We like doing songs with Mr. Burns because he's just a funny person to be singing. Right now we're writing a song for Comic Book Guy, which will air in January.
8. "See My Vest" from season six's "One Dozen and One Greyhounds." Lyrics by Mike Scully, music by Alf Clausen. In this cross between 101 Dalmatians and "Be My Guest" from Beauty and the Beast, Mr. Burns extols the beauty of a coat made from dogs, and it contains the lyric "beret of poodle on my noodle." It was a chance to make a fun song about a horrible, horrible thing. Most Disney movies often break for a song from the villain's point of view. David Mirkin produced it; he also did "Who Needs the Kwik-E-Mart?" He's a talented musician, and after James Taylor appeared on The Simpsons, they became friends.
7. "We Do" (the Stonecutters' song) from season six's "Homer the Great." Lyrics by John Swartzwelder, music by Alf Clausen. John Swartzwelder does not like musicals and is annoyed when anybody starts singing onscreen. I remember him in the [writers'] room saying, "I hate it when characters break into song." So we put this in the episode. The song was nominated for an Emmy. (The Simpsons has been nominated for "Individual Achievement in Music and Lyrics" nine times.)
6. "Baby On Board" from season five's "Homer's Barbershop Quartet." The episode, written by Jeff Martin, in which a barbershop quartet started by Homer turned into the Beatles of its time, with cameos by George Harrison and David Crosby. The Be-Sharps were voiced by Disneyland's Dapper Dans in The Simpsons' attempt to capitalize on the barbershop quartet craze of the early-nineties. Martin pitched the idea of an episode where barbershop was the most popular song style in the world. And I then said, "Let's turn it into the story of the Beatles."
5. "Ode to Branson" from season thirteen's "The Old Man and the Key." Lyrics by Jon Vitti, music by Alf Clausen. Features the actual voice of the legendary comic Ray J. Johnson. You can call him Ray. And you can call him Jay. Or you can call him by his real name, Bill Saluga. We actually wanted to have Mr. T in the song, but we didn't think we could get him. We had him on the show later, and he asked us why we hadn't asked him for this episode.
4. "Everybody Hates Ned Flanders" from season fourteen's "Dude, Where's My Ranch?" Lyrics by Ken Keeler and Ian Maxtone-Graham, music by Alf Clausen. To date the only vocal collaboration between Homer Simpson and Talking Heads front man David Byrne. We sent David the song and asked him if he was interested. Music editor Chris Ledesma recorded him in New York.
3. "I'm Checking In" from season nine's "The City of New York Vs. Homer Simpson." Lyrics by Ken Keeler and Music by Alf Clausen. A tribute to the Betty Ford Center, it appears in the episode centering on the World Trade Center, which was pulled from air for a year after the 9/11 attacks. It's the most bizarre thing in the history of the show because it seems to predict 9/11. And of course we had no idea. But there are all these conspiracy theories about it — like, "Ian went to Brown and so he knows a lot of people who went to Harvard, and Harvard guys are behind everything." The thing I like about the song is that it's so exuberant about something horrible.
2. "We Put the Spring in Springfield" from season eight's "Bart after Dark." Lyrics by Ken Keeler, music by Alf Clausen. One of two songs on The Simpsons to win an Emmy (the other is our No. 3 * pick, above). "We Put the Spring in Springfield" chronicles the nocturnal goings-on of Springfield's legendary "Maison Derriere." It was kind of a jump: The show hadn't been that dirty before. The name of an informal cabaret show based on the music of The Simpsons, this may be the most popular Simpsons song ever except for …
1. "Stop the Planet of the Apes I Want to Get Off" musical from season seven's "A Fish Called Selma." Lyrics by Jack Barth, music by — you guessed it — Alf Clausen. "I hate every ape I see/ from chimpan-a to chimpanzee" may be the most quoted song line that's ever been quoted from the show. That lyric about "chimpan-a to chimpanzee" was written by David Cohen. But about fifteen years ago, we instituted a policy where we give the lyric credit for the song to the writer of the episode.
*The original text listed the No. 1 pick as an Emmy winner; it's actually No. 3 on the list, "You're Checkin' In." And two other corrections: "Capital City" was written solely by Jeff Martin, and while Ian Maxtone-Graham directed David Byrne's dialogue in New York, Chris Ledesma directed his singing in Los Angeles.

The Waynesville High School girls' basketball team was beaten by St. Francis Borgia 47-28 Wednesday in the semifinals of the Sullivan Tournament.
Waynesville, 1-4, will play Owensville at 7:30 p.m. tonight in the third-place game. Owensville lost by two points to Sullivan in semifinal action Wednesday.
The Waynesville Tigers fell behind 16-2 in the first period and, despite outscoring the Borgia Lady Knights in the second quarter, trailed the rest of the way.
Borgia, now 3-1, led 18-14 at halftime and then outscored Waynesville 14-9 in the third quarter and 15-5 in the fourth period.
"We dug ourselves in a hole then fought back," said WHS head coach Brittany Matlock. "Borgia did a good job of getting us out of our comfort zone. We just have to keep working hard and doing the little things like passing and catching."
Borgia limited Waynesville's leading scorer, 6-2 sophomore forward Kallie Bildner, to just two points. Hannah Bland, a 5-10 senior, was the lone Lady Tiger to score in double figures with 11 points. Bildner grabbed nine rebounds.
Senior Janie Arand led Borgia with 15 points while sophomore forward Megan Jensen added 14 points and grabbed 16 rebounds.
Waynesville (1-4): Bildner 2, Laughlin 1, Kizzee 8, Bland 11, Stoddard 2, Simmons 2, Williams 2.
Borgia (3-1): Grahl 7, M. Arand 3, Halsted 3, J. Arand 15, Jensen 14, Heggemann 5.

The state Democratic Party began a week-long effort Monday to take advantage of what it sees as the biggest governmental failure during Gov. Nikki Haley's administration – last year's hacking of the financial information of 6.4 million state taxpayers.
Jamie Harrison, the state Democratic Party chairman, said at a news conference in front of Charleston City Hall that his party would be holding a series of silent vigils across the state over what he called the largest such breach in the nation's history. The first vigil is set for Tuesday in Greenville, and others have been set for Horry County, Columbia and Anderson, with more expected.
Harrison blasted Haley for failing to make sure the state's computers were secure, especially those at the Department of Revenue, where the hacking occurred, and for then not telling the public about it for about two weeks.
He called the delay a "cover-up" to give the governor two weeks to hire a public relations firm to "clean up" the mess. "Her instinct was simply to hide it," he said.
Haley's administration has repeatedly said the delay was to give federal and state law enforcement an opportunity track down the hacker, something that has failed so far.
On Monday, Haley's spokesman, Doug Mayer said, "From day one, Governor Haley's focus has been on working with law enforcement to catch the criminal who attacked our state, and on protecting our citizens from further harm by massively upgrading our cyber-security systems and making sure everyone has identity theft protection."
Mayer also characterized Harrison's silent vigils as being "political stunts" taking advantage of taxpayers whose finances are at risk. "Is this a joke?" he asked.
To that, South Carolina Democratic Party spokeswoman Kristin Sosaine shot back, "It's not funny that Nikki Haley hid the horrible hacking that exposed millions to identity theft for two weeks while people were at risk."
Harrison announced the silent vigils campaign on the one-year anniversary of when Haley's office publicly revealed the hacking. He said one test of leadership is how a leader handles a crisis, and that Haley failed that leadership test.
Haley's spokesmen have repeatedly characterized Haley's actions in the wake of the hacking as demonstrating effective and swift response.
Harrison's press conference confirmed that Democrats see the hacking and Haley's response to it as a possible way to galvanize popular support for Democrats and opposition to the governor.
Democratic challenger State Sen. Vincent Sheheen of Camden has said he sees the hacking scandal as revealing a "pattern of incompetence and a culture of secrecy" in Haley's administration.
Despite the theft of millions of taxpayers' financial information, including their names, Social Security numbers and names of dependents, state and federal law enforcement officials say they know of no instance in which anyone lost anything or their identity was stolen as a result of the hacking. But, officials concede, it would be hard to know for sure.
Authorities have said they tracked the source of the hacking to one country, believed to be Russia.
In order to protect taxpayers and other victims of the hacking, South Carolina's government has purchased a second year of free credit monitoring and identity theft protection. But individuals must sign up to receive the protection. The state hired CSID, an Austin, Texas-based provider of global identity protection and fraud detection technologies.
Hacking victims can begin signing up on Thursday by going to: www.scidprotection.com or by calling 855-880-2743.
Since the hacking, computers at the Department of Revenue have been blanketed with security measures and department staff have undergone cyber-security training. Other state agencies also are revamping their cyber-security methods and upgrading computer security systems. The state also is standardizing its cyber-security procedures.
Still, Haley spokesman Mayer noted, nothing is foolproof. "Technology in cybercrimes is evolving every day, so no one can ever say we are completely safe, but we can say without any doubt that we are far safer now than we've ever been before in South Carolina."
Unfortunately for the 6.4 million hacking victims their information in already out there. And Speaker of the House Bobby Harrell has said the state may need to keep paying for credit protection for them for the foreseeable future.

I do still plan to finish the third, and perhaps a fourth, part on the "Ketosis – advantaged or misunderstood state?" mini-series. However, a question I get often makes me realize a tiny bit of housekeeping is in order before we go there. The question is basically a variation on this theme: Does being in ketosis automatically translate to fat loss?

text: Celebrated for his endurance-based performances and video installations, Ragnar Kjartansson incorporates all of the arts—musical, theatrical, literary, filmic, and plastic—into his opulent, ironic, and deeply human works. Explaining that his works are "always about a feeling, but there's no story," he creates durational experiences, often centered upon himself and involving friends and family. Inspired by the power of the work of Hans Haacke, Roni Horn, and the feminist movement, he pushes past the anxiety and ennui of repetitious situations to convey a state of joy and transcendence. Mirrors for the human condition, his tragicomic performances combine sorrow and happiness, horror and beauty, drama and levity. In 2009, as the youngest artist to represent Iceland at the Venice Biennale, Kjartansson took up residence in Venice and completed one painting of his friend every day over the …Read more

Tomorrow is a very special day for Dearly Beloved and me. It will be our 47th wedding anniversary.
Tomorrow is a very special day for Dearly Beloved and me. It will be our 47th wedding anniversary.
It's amazing how fast the time has flown. Once we were young and foolish — and now, suddenly, we find ourselves, well ... old and foolish. The joints and the muscles don't work as fluidly as they once did, and the eyesight and the hearing aren't as sharp as when we said our vows so many years ago, but one thing has remained over the years: our devotion to each other.
Life is great when you have someone to grow old with, and I can't think of another person I'd like to grow older with than her.
Happy anniversary, DB, and may God bless us with many more!
PURPLE DOVES: The Purple Doves is a local children's group that supports the American Cancer Society, Relay For Life and St. Jude's Children's Hospital. Its mission is to help connect kids with the community, while doing community service and helping those in need — kid to kid.
The group originally formed in 2010 as the Belleview Middle School PTO Teens. They raised $250 for a family that lost everything in a house fire and sponsored the Relay For Life (as the Panthers), raising $700. They enjoyed the activities so much they kept the group going.
In 2011 the PTO Teens team was not sponsored by the school. So, they changed their name to The Purple Doves and raised $1,200 for Relay For Life. A suggestion was made to the group about becoming its own non-profit organization, so participants created Florida Kids-Helping-Kids, and they call themselves the Purple Dove Team.
Members range from 2 years old to 18, and membership has grown from three full-time members to 15, with one of those traveling from St. Pete. Their goal is for every county to have a team to help local youth.
The group has aided a man with bone cancer by helping him get a walk-in shower, car and computer so he can stay connected with friends and school. Also being helped are four youngsters going through chemo treatments, one child with autism and another who required surgery. No child in need is turned down for help.
The group will hold a Children's Festival fundraiser from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at the Ocala Drive-In on South U.S. 441. The LifeSouth Blood bus will be there and the event will include many free offerings for children, such as haircuts, pony and train rides and face painting. There also will be an antique car show and special appearances are planned by Barney and The Man in the Yellow Hat. The public is invited.
The group needs donations of stuffed animals.
You can learn more, or request assistance, at www.florida-kids-helping-kids.com.
SEAFOOD LOVERS: Oak Run's Carol Clements wrote: "Debbie and John at Simply Seafood in Dunnellon can get you almost any kind of fish or shellfish you want. Just call ahead of time so they can order it. Debbie has done many special orders for me and makes the best Italian seafood salad ever from her grandfather's recipe."
Hmmm ... OK, Carol, if I ever find myself wanting seafood, I'll keep them in mind.
ONGOING TALE: When last we left our little melodrama, Jack and an unknown female companion had just jumped out of Molly's car at the station, leaving the baby the woman had been carrying in the back seat.
A number of readers submitted their proposed next installment to our little story, including Cindy Bryan, Richard Norris, Suzanne DePascale, Thomas D. Endicott, Angelo DePascale, Sylvia Strong, Dan Drake, Sandra Sanders, Mollie Richards and Emmett Solomon.
And the next installment was written by (Drumroll, please, maestro!) Angelo DePascale.
He wrote:
The policeman was cruising up the street toward the bus depot, with a smile from ear to ear, when he heard a woman's scream of desperation.
Without thinking, his police training propelled him out of his seat, leaving his door open as he ran to Molly's car calling in an emergency code on his portable radio.
Molly was in the back seat of the car hysterically pleading with the baby to breathe.
Jack could see the policeman push Molly aside to administer CPR.
Jack looked over and saw his missing canvas bag on the seat of the cruiser.
OK, YOUR TURN AGAIN: Anyone, previous winners included, can enter. Just keep your submissions to 100 words or less. Send your submissions to firstname.lastname@example.com by 6 p.m. Thursday and put STORY in the subject line. You can find the complete story, as written so far, on ocala.com by typing "Ongoing tale" in the search box.
WHERE IS IT? : The photo in last Thursday's column was of a lamp post sitting right next to the old train station in McIntosh. Sharp-eyed reader Kent M. Long was the first to identify its location. Congratulations, Kent, your prize is on the way.
Send comments to firstname.lastname@example.com and include your FULL name and town. This column appears each Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and online at www.ocala.com.

Glancing at the pile of books next to my computer a random thought popped into my brain. Goodness, I really am Paul's daughter! Seems an odd statement just looking at reading material, right?
Not after I gave it a few moments thought.
My father was a voracious reader, a trait his children inherited. Since I can remember, Dad only read non-fiction books. Biography and history were top of the list.
These books did not have to be the latest best-seller or hottest title. Any bookstore sale shelf or yard sale discount bin would fill the ticket.
This was all part of Dad trying to expose his children to history. Sometimes he may have been exasperated when we did not share his great enthusiasm. Especially when we were "know-it-all" teenagers! History? How lame!
I think he would be tickled to see how his influence has finally come home to roost! He would love my stash of reading material. Guess what? It is all non-fiction!
I am now following in his footsteps. Where is my habit of selecting a nice fiction book? When did this transition occur? Was this a natural progression of growing older?
No matter the when or why. This experience brought Dad back in full Technicolor. I can here him say "I told you so!"
Yes indeed, I am Paul's daughter.
