2006 Land Rover LR3 ReviewThis car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale.
Off-road brilliance, on-road competence.
The Land Rover LR3 was introduced as an all-new model for 2005 to replace the old Discovery. A new V6 model has been added to the lineup for 2006, lowering the price of entry. The LR3 in an impressive achievement. While other mid-luxury SUVs are surrendering off-road capabilities, the LR3 combines responsive on-road performance with anywhere off-road capability in a comfortable, safe and secure vehicle.
The LR3 offers the competence of the Range Rover and some of its luxurious feel. Underway, it feels composed and secure, with little noise and vibration transmitted into the cabin. It incorporates the latest in electronic systems, which select the best combination of traction, power, gearing, and braking to suit any type of terrain and surface, to put serious off-road trekking within the reach of most enthusiasts. By twisting a knob to Snow, Sand, Mud and Ruts, or any one of five different settings that cover every imaginable type of driving condition, you can optimize the settings for the LR3's mind-boggling array of electronic controls and traction aids. In short, the LR3 can go just about anywhere on the planet. And it does it in style.
The 4.4-liter V8, a modified Jaguar engine, develops 300 horsepower and delivers strong throttle response, with 315 pound-feet of torque. It's paired with a six-speed automatic, smoother and more responsive than a traditional four-speed, and permanent four-wheel drive. The 4.0-liter V6 engine introduced for 2006 produces 216 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque. The brakes are excellent.
The LR3 has a spacious, airy cabin with comfortable seats and intuitive controls. It can seat up to seven passengers with the optional third row, and the seats fold flat into the floor individually, making this a versatile utility vehicle.
The 2006 Land Rover LR3 is available in V6 ($38,950), SE ($45,450) and HSE ($53,450) trim levels. The V6 is powered by a new 4.0-liter engine, while the SE and HSE feature the Jaguar-developed DOHC 4.4-liter V8 launched with the 2005 models. Trim in the V6 is basic, though Land Rover hasn't stinted on equipment or capabilities, and across the three models, a variety of option packages allow owners to pick exactly the price and trim level they desire, from the most basic to most luxurious.
Safety equipment standard across the line includes four-wheel disc brakes with ABS, Electronic Brake-force Distribution, and emergency Brake Assist. Seven-seat models come with eight airbags; five-seat models come with six airbags.
All models are equipped with power-adjustable heated exterior mirrors, electronic cruise control, programmable key fob, and 65/35 split folding rear seat. The V6 and SE come standard with 18-inch aluminum wheels and 255/60HR18 mud and snow radial tires. The HSE is equipped with 19-inch aluminum wheels and 255/55HR19 mud and snow radial tires.
The V6 is equipped with an AM/FM audio system with single-disc in-dash CD player and six speakers. The V6 can be upgraded to the SE level with the SE Premium Package ($3,000), including leather seating surfaces, 240-watt Harman/Kardon audio system with steering wheel controls, power tilt/slide front sunroof, second row auxiliary port, and SE badge on rear tailgate.
The SE comes well-equipped with leather, sunroof, a 240-watt Harman Kardon stereo with six-disc in-dash CD player and nine speakers, automatic climate control, power everything, and a long list of the latest safety features.
The HSE has an upgraded 550-watt Harman/Kardon LOGIC7 surround sound stereo audio system with six-disc CD changer and 14 speakers, rear park distance control. Third-row seating is standard on the HSE
The HSE adds On/Off-Road Navigation system with voice-activation, the Lighting Package (bi-Xenon headlights, rain sensing wipers, auto-dimming rear view mirror, Homelink Rear Park Distance control, automatic headlights, and front fog lights), the Rear Seat & Climate Package, and the Personal Telephone Integration system with console cradle and Bluetooth Connectivity. The HSE can be further upgraded with the Luxury Package ($1,750), which includes adaptive front lighting system, cold climate package, and center console cooler box.
The V6 and SE can be further upgraded with the Rear Seat & Climate Package ($2200), which includes second-and third-row fold flat seats, third-row side curtain airbag, third-row map lights and accessory power outlet, rear luggage net, and additional front cup holder, second-row A/C and heating controls, two vents at second-row headliner, two vents at third-row C-pillar and one outlet at the third-row lower level. The Bluetooth cellphone setup is available for the SE.
Options packages available on all models: The Cold Climate Package ($1,050) includes heated front windshield, heated front and second-row seats, and heated windshield washer jets. Heavy-Duty Package ($625) includes a locking rear differential and a full-size spare alloy wheel. Tow Package ($500) includes a Class III receiver hitch and remote-control rear height adjuster.
The Land Rover LR3, introduced as an all-new product for 2005, replaces the Discovery. In fact, this vehicle continues to carry the Discovery name in other parts of the world. Land Rover says it's using the new alphanumeric nomenclature in the U.S. to better focus marketing efforts on the Land Rover brand. No matter what you call it, this vehicle is a huge improvement over the Discovery Series II. The LR3 is the first vehicle totally developed by Land Rover following its purchase by Ford Motor Company in 2000 and a $1.4 billion overhaul of the Solihull manufacturing facility in the UK.
The LR3 is considerably longer than the old Discovery. Its wheelbase is 13.6 inches longer. The new length is equal to that of the Ford Explorer and significantly improves highway stability, especially while towing. The added length gives the LR3 more grace and style than the Discovery.
Overall, the LR3 presents a contemporary design but one that still conveys a sense of functionality. Land Rover styling has always been distinctive, generally driven by real world, functional requirements. The LR3 is no exception, carrying over most of the practical touches from the previous Discovery, but with sensible improvements.
Most distinctive is the use of the stepped roof line, a recognized brand element preserved from the old Discovery. The stepped roof offers a distinct visual profile, but also creates headroom for rear-seat passengers to compensate for the high floor required to clear the center differential.
Another example of distinctive Land Rover design is the asymmetric rear tailgate, which operates as an easy-open clamshell for the top half, and a standard tailgate for the bottom half. The result is exceptional ease of access, and reduced load lift height, while preserving a sheltered fold-out tailgate surface for true tail-gating at a campsite or stadium parking lot. Also noticeable is the use of a functional air intake vent on just one side because that was all that was needed.
The Land Rover LR3 is a comfortable vehicle. Seating comfort was notably improved over the old Discovery. Driver and front passenger get power-adjustable seats with adjustable armrests, and the second-row seats have generous headroom and legroom. Even the third-row seats can be considered habitable for adults.
The large windows, longer wheelbase, and two overhead sunroofs, create a spacious, airy interior. The low beltline, with window sills well below shoulder level, not only helps lower the center of gravity, but also improves forward and downward vision, an important advantage when driving through rugged terrain or traversing narrow tracks, especially those with exposures to seemingly bottomless ravines. The instrument panel is clean, modern, and in keeping with the geometric exterior design. Controls are good sized, tactile, and significantly more intuitively arrayed than Land Rovers of the past.
The new interior design gives up nothing to other SUVs in practical flexibility, which is welcome departure from past Land Rovers. The second-row seats fold down into the footwell, leaving a perfectly flat surface. Many SUVs do not offer the benefit of flat cargo areas. The third-row seats, if so equipped, can also fold flat, creating a six-foot load floor. Each rear seat folds independently, leaving numerous options for seating and cargo.
As with every previous Land Rover, practicality in the outback is reflected in functional interior appointments. For the variety of stuff carried on a camping trip, there are four glove boxes, readily accessible stash zones and numerous drink holders. Flip-down grab handles are located at all four doors, and comfortable, solid grab points built into the front-seat headrests give occupants something to hold on to when the driver is exploring the LR3's impressive tilt, climb, and descent limits.
Driving Impression
Driving the Land Rover LR3 down flooded forest trails, curving mountain roads and high-speed freeways has revealed a class-leading combination of capability, utility, luxury and style. The LR3 handles the toughest of off-road obstacles brilliantly, yet is comfortable on rush-hour freeways.
Driving on paved surfaces, the immediate sensation is of security, composure and protected personal space. The driver is seated high above the average car, and insulated from outside noises, vibrations or intrusions. The thick steering wheel is notably solid and progressive, transmitting very little road vibration.
The LR3 is truly a new generation of vehicle for Land Rover: For the first time it uses a combination monocoque/frame with a system of bracing that supplies sufficient rigidity to support a long-travel suspension. This setup replaces the traditional Land Rover body-on-ladder frame structure. This new approach accounts for much of the LR3's lighter weight, crisper handling, and solid feel.
The LR3 is pleasantly cushy on the highway and large roads, soaking up bumps and potholes with minimal jarring. Its suspension provides more on-road comfort than was the case with the previous Discovery. Granted, the LR3 doesn't feel as taut as a BMW X5, but it's more comfortable than the X5 on dirt roads.
The LR3 will reliably hold a given line through a tight corner, but the air suspension allows some body travel. On corners, the body rolls (leans) slightly, but the grip of the tires is readily apparent, creating a slightly disconcerting feeling of hanging out over the edge of the road. Nevertheless, with rack-and-pinion steering, independent double-wishbone suspension at all four corners, stiff wheels, wide tires and the latest in electronic stability control, the longer we drove, the more confident we became of the LR3's capabilities at speed.
Braking is remarkable, both in terms of overall feel and sheer stopping power. The pedal is progressive, with no vibration coming through, and it always feels like there is more stopping power readily at hand. The brakes themselves are large 13.3-inch discs (13.8-inch discs at the rear) with four-channel ABS. The anti-lock brake system also works off-road. Enhancing the hardware is an array of electronic systems, such as Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Emergency Brake Assist, Cornering Brake Control (CBC) and Active Roll Mitigation (ARM). Essentially, all of these systems track driver input at the wheel, throttle, brake pedal and compare it to what is happening at each wheel. When a tire loses grip or an emergency braking situation is sensed, one or more of these systems react to improve the vehicle's operating position. In many cases, these adjustments will be transparent to the driver. What the driver will experience is better control in serious stopping and handling situations.
Two brake-based systems, Hill Descent Control (HDC) and all terrain Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) work to enhance driver control in difficult terrain. The Hill Descent Control system, used to restrict downhill speeds on steep terrain, is adjustable through the steering wheel cruise control buttons.
The LR3 offers strong throttle response, a departure from older Land Rovers. The 4.4-liter 300-horsepower V8 is a stroked version of Jaguar's 4.2, adapted to the LR3's particular requirements. The increased stroke length enhances torque, so that the V8 delivers 315 pound-feet at 4000 rpm. Combined with the electronic six-speed transmission, the V8-equipped LR3 moves out smartly at part throttle, and has passing power in reserve. Land Rover says the V8 can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 8 seconds, which is respectable performance.
For owners who don't need heavy-duty grunt, the new V6, with 216 horsepower and 269 pound-feet of torque, is enough for nearly all applications.
With its lengthened wheelbase, the LR3 can now be considered a serious tow vehicle for a ho.
The Land Rover LR3 offers brilliant off-road capability with on-road comfort. The addition of the V6 model lowers the cost of entry. The LR3 may be the best vehicle for anybody who needs a comfortable daily driver that really can go anywhere any four-wheel vehicle might go.

LONG BEACH – Several volunteers spread across Long Beach Monday said the city's celebration of National Day of Service coincided perfectly with the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday and the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
"I think it's really important to be of service, especially on this day," said Maricela de Rivera, as she joined her husband, Jacob Rivera, and son, Tallis, 2, planting one of 10 spruce trees along DeForest Avenue.
The Riveras joined hundreds of other volunteers who cleaned alleys, cleared a nature trail and even picked fruit for the Food Finders food bank.
Emily Whitcomb traveled to Long Beach from Newport Beach to join a cleanup at the DeForest Nature Trail with her son, Max Rosencrantz, 4.
"We're just grateful and blessed and wanted to give back," she said. "Plus it gives the message (of giving back) to our kids."
After disentangling a stick from his Boston Red Sox T-shirt, Max put his shoulder into a shovel and helped dump leaves into a large garbage bag.
"Is this good, Mommy?" he asked.
Whitcomb said although her son didn't yet understand the importance of volunteerism, she thought it was never too young to start teaching those values.
Rivera and Whitcomb both liked that the day of service coincided with Obama repeating the oath he took Sunday and the inaugural festivities in Washington, D.C.
Although most cities celebrated the day of service on Saturday, in Long Beach, where the MLK Parade was staged Saturday, the service projects were held Monday.
"I was a little conflicted," she said, because the 9 a.m. tree-planting began as the president was making his inaugural speech.
"I was late," she said. "I listened to my president be sworn in and then I came out to be of service."
Whitcomb said she listened to the inauguration festivities on the radio while driving in to volunteer and told her son about the inauguration and King.
Meg Cushing, a store manager of a Starbucks in Long Beach, was part of a large Starbucks contingent that regularly participates in community activities.
She said it was important to support the president, particularly on this day.
"I think it's fantastic," Cushing said. "It's nice to see someone in (the presidency) who is working hard for people."
According to organizers, National Day of Service activities were held in all 50 states. The events were chaired by Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of former President Clinton and outgoing Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
On Saturday, Obama and the first lady volunteered at an elementary school where they helped stain a bookshelf.
One of the more unusual local events on Monday was fruit picking by about 15 volunteers at the home of Jose Jaramillo, who lives on the Westside.
The homeowner has a large orange tree that was laden with fruit. He recently got in touch with SoCal Harvest, which visits homes and harvests excess fruit and vegetables that it donates to Food Finders.
Jaramillo, who moved into the house two years ago, said the fruit from the large tree just went to waste last year after falling to the ground on windy days.
"It feels really great because it goes to people who need it," he said of donating the bounty from the tree.
Cindy Goss of SoCal Harvest said her group was celebrating its fourth anniversary. She estimated Jaramillo's tree would bear about 600 pounds of Valencia oranges.
She said the group was created in answer to Obama's first call to service.
Volunteers were armed with fruit-picking baskets attached to long extending poles. Some climbed ladders to reach higher into the tree, although even then much of the fruit was beyond reach.
Still, Goss was happy to see the fruit that was brought down.
"We love it," she said. "It's feeding people, what could be easier?"

Lady Gaga Loves Christina Aguilera's New Single 'Your Body'
We've learned two things about Lady Gaga courtesy of her tweet about buying and loving the new Christina Aguilera single 'Your Body.' One, she still buys (as opposed to illegally downloads) music. And two, she is a class act who takes the high road and shows love to her fellow divas, even when they diss (or have dissed) her.
Fresh off a new diss from Madonna, who refuses to grow up and let it go by declaring imitation to be flattery, Gaga tweeted that she is happy the "old" Xtina is back on this song, since she had diverted from the path on 2010's flop 'Bionic.' While on the promotional trail for that album, Xtina actually dissed Gaga more than once, claiming to not even know who she was and questioning her gender.
"This person [Lady Gaga] was just brought to my attention not too long ago. I'm not quite sure who this person is, to be honest. I don't know if it is a man or a woman. I just wasn't sure," she told the L.A. Times. Ouch. How rude!
She also sniped, "Oh the newcomer? I think she is really fun to look at" to Out when the subject of Gaga came up, since her star was on the rise while Christina's was stagnating.
What is it with pop veterans hating on Gaga so much? Are they just jealous? We're going to venture a guess that that's the deal, since she's so good at what she does. Even though Christina was nasty to her in the media, she still sent her love and congrats. That's called taking the high road and being an example for little monsters to emulate.
Below is Gaga's tweet. Sounds sincere to us. She also tweeted that she was obsessed with No Doubt's comeback single 'Settle Down' recently, too.
@therealxtina just bought your new single. Seems the old Christina i loved has returned! Congratulations!! :)

SoC2007 projects
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Development style
- 3 Possible Projects
This is the work in progress list of possible projects for the Google_SoC_2007
Panoramic imaging is a very broad field and touches many different areas of expertise, such as photography, computer vision, art and programming. There is a thriving community with experience from arts to science that provides many interesting ideas and explores new territory in panoramic imaging. In addition to the mentors, this open community will provide good support and innovative ideas.
Generally, all development should done with multiple platforms in mind (at least Windows, OSX and Linux/Unix). We have an open communication culture via mailing-lists and mostly develop using C and C++.
The project below are just suggestions. If you are an interested student and have questions or new ideas, please let us know on the relevant Discussion_lists, for example panotools-devel.
Development style
Most of the projects below are related to Hugin, and some also relate to Panotools or tlalli. Hugin is mostly written in C++, and uses the VIGRA image processing library to support different types of images (for example, 8bit, 16bit and float (HDR) images). The core functionality is implemented in a platform independent C++ library, which is used by the GUI based on wxWidgets toolkit, and the command line programs (nona, fulla).
The development of the projects should take place in a separate branch of the projects CVS (or SVN) repository. Communication with the mentors should usually happen through the appropriate development mailing list. All code should work on the major platforms supported (Linux, OSX, Windows).
Possible Projects
Intuitive yet powerful GUI for panorama creation
Goal: Redesign/Reimplement the graphical user interface of the premiere open source panoramic imaging suite, Hugin, to increase ease of use, and provide better access to its unmatched capabilities. Currently the GUI is written using wxWidgets, which has proven to have slightly different behaviours on different platforms, especially with a complex GUI such as the one of Hugin. This is very annoying and a lot of time has been spent on minor issues such as making the GUI look good on all platforms with different font sizes etc. Therefore two steps are possible:
- Rewrite the whole GUI using QT (which is very consistent even across platforms, and has (IMHO) a much nicer API). This is a lot more work, and not all functionality of the current GUI can be recreated during the Summer of Code, but it will provide a better platform to build onto in the future. It is also possible to implement the GUI logic in a scripting language such as Ruby or Python. This project should only be tackled by a student who has experience in developing non-trivial GUI applications with QT. The GUI and core panorama code are already separated into different libraries.
- Details to be discussed on the separate page.
- Extend the existing wxWidgets based GUI.
- General goals for the improved GUI include:
- * Providing a simple, yet helpful user interface that suggests or highlights potentially useful next steps.
- * Enhancing and integrating manual and automated control point placement and management.
- * Improving lens parameter management.
- * Providing a batch processing interface.
- * Expert mode with access to all features and internals.
Recommended knowledge or interest in:
- Workflow analysis and UI design skills
- Experience with building cross platform GUI programs (Windows/Linux/OSX), either using wxWidgets or QT
- Creative use of panoramic imaging

Automatic feature matching for panoramic images
Goal: Robust matching of features between multiple images using a Hessian-based detector and a suitable descriptor. A detector and descriptor that takes into account the approximately known distortions will have a much higher matching rate, especially when fisheye or wide angle images are used.
This project should be split into two projects, which could be done by separate students:
- Implementation of the feature detector and descriptor, and a suitable test suite to verify the correctness of the implementation, further details are being discussed in the separate SoC2007_project_Feature_Descriptor page.
- Implementation of the matching step, including geometry based outlier pruning (for example using RANSAC) and fast nearest neighbour matching, possibly using a fast algorithm such as cover trees.
A desired result of the projects would be:
- C or C++ library for the matching step.
- Integration into hugin and a standalone executable similar to Autopano-sift or Autopano
Required knowledge or interest in:
- signal or image processing background
- C or C++ development skills.
- Matlab or octave
Possibly useful resources and libraries:

Interactive panoramic viewer
Goal: The Freepv panoramic viewer aims to provide a superior viewing experience for panoramas on all major platforms (Windows, Mac and Linux/Unix), based on exploiting powerful graphics hardware using OpenGL. Currently it provides basic but solid viewing capabilities for Quicktime VR, cylindrical, cubic and equi-rectangular panoramas. Plugins for Mozilla/Firefox and a standalone viewer are available. Several important features are still missing from the viewer include:
- Support for hotspots
- Optimisation for panoramas larger than the Video RAM
- Display of high dynamic range panoramas with adaptive exposure
- Support for reading a SPi-V compatible .xml file, for platforms where SPi-V is not available (Linux/Unix).
- Fallback software renderer
Required knowledge or interest in:
- OpenGL or other 3D programming experience.
- Creating cool and nice looking interactive experiences.
Mentor: Pablo d'Angelo, ?
License: LGPL
Anti-ghosting HDR panorama blending and merging algorithm
Goal: Most HDR creation algorithms are designed to work only with very small variations in camera viewing direction. Assume that registration and response curve estimation has already happened. An improved blending method for HDR images together that have not been shot using the traditional exposure stack method. It should avoid ghosting and be insensitive to small misregistrations.
Interesting research papers:
- Seamless Image Stitching of Scenes with Large Motions and Exposure Differences
- Ghost Removal in High Dynamic Range Images
Required knowledge or interest in:
- Strong background signal/image processing
- Creative mind with ideas beyond the state of the art in computer vision/graphics research.
Mentor: Pablo d'Angelo, ?
License: GPL
Processing of very large images
Goal: Allow the creation of arbitrary large panoramas. [1]
Currently panotools, as well as hugin/nona require memory to hold the complete input and the remapped output image in memory, which consumes a lot of RAM, especially for spherical panoramas. VIPS is a powerful and modular image processing library that supports very large images and multiple processors natively. By porting the core remapping routines of panotools/hugin to VIPS, panoramas of almost arbitrary size can be computed.
A desired result of the projects would be:
- VIPS operations that support the geometric and photometric (vignetting correction) transformations.
- Standalone command line program that remaps images using these routines.
- Program/script to convert panotools scripts to nip2 projects.
Required knowledge or interest in:
- C/C++ programming
- image processing
Mentor: John Cupitt, Pablo d'Angelo
License: GPL
Architectural Overhaul of Panotools
Panotools is a very monolithic application. The goal of this project is to refactor the functionality of panotools into 4 main parts, as independent of each other as possible. These parts are (at least):
- Calculation of position of images (optimization)
- Mapping from input images to output images
- Projection related computations
- Parsing of input scripts/Generation of input scripts
Were this project successful the functionality of panotools will be available as a collection of routines that be called directly (as opposed to the current model that requires the creation and parsing of a script). It will make it easier to replace one component of panotools with another one; and it will improve the future maintenance of panotools.
A desired result of the projects would be:
- Set of functions/classes that are available to hugin to perform optimization and remapping of images
- Test suite to verify that the functionality before and after is equivalent.
Required knowledge or interest in:
- C/C++ programming
- Knowledge of Numerical methods
- Basic knowledge of image processing

Freeway Flattie Part 1Posted in How To: Transmission Drivetrain on January 1, 2012
Okay, see if you can follow this. When I first built my '53 DJ-3A I used low-pinion Ford 9-inch axles with 5.83s and stock 2.46:1 gears in a Spicer 18 T-case. With the junkyard Warn Overdrive engaged, I could turn 2,850 rpm at 65 mph on the street, and the SM420's 7.05:1 First gear gave a 101:1 crawl ratio, which was just about perfect for my relatively low-torque 3.5L Shortstar DOHC V-6. Then the hardcore bug bit and I replaced the Spicer 18 with a built Dana 300 running stock 2.62:1 gears and 32-spline front and rear output shafts. The Dana 300 has a much higher rear output location than the Spicer 18, so to get a rear driveshaft in the thing I had to build a new centered rear axle with a high-pinion True Hi9 centersection. The axle build required a gear change to 5.38s since that's the lowest ratio offered for the True Hi9. But even with the high-pinion rear diff, to prevent U-joint binding at full droop I had to run offset-trunion U-joints in the Tom Wood's 1350 rear driveshaft. The crawl ratio of the new setup was nearly identical at 99:1, but without an overdrive, my engine speed was a whopping 3,500 rpm at 65 mph. Not that I could ever reach that speed since the crazy rear driveshaft U-joints caused the Jeep to feel like you were riding a paint shaker even at modest road speeds.
If you read my Trail Head editorial this month, you know all about why I want to go back to an Overdrive-equipped Spicer 18 to make my '53 DJ-3A highway-capable once again. It turns out that I had it right the first time. But unfortunately I'd sold off my genie Warn Overdrive and Spicer 18 to help pay for the Dana 300 swap. However, companies like ATV Manufacturing and TeraFlex are still supporting these 70-year-old T-cases. And that's where I found the solution to my dilemma of how to add the lower rear output location and overdrive ability of the Spicer 18 without killing my crawl ratio.
If I used stock 2.46:1 Spicer 18 gears with my 5.38 axle gears, my new crawl would be around 93:1. That's not terrible. In fact, it's just about ideal for most normal V-6 and V-8 powered Jeeps. But my little Shortstar needs all the torque multiplication it can get. By using 3.15:1 Low18 T-case gears from TeraFlex, I'd have a 119:1 crawl ratio, which will make the Shortstar much happier and help its resistance to stalling when idling over obstacles. The 3.15:1 gears are also a great solution for a good crawl ratio if you're not running a granny-gear T-case or deep axle gears. Plus, I could engage the Overdrive for a more-modest 89:1 crawl when the obstacles aren't as gnarly. Done! A quick call to ATV Manufacturing in Brush Prairie, Washington was all it took to line up the ultimate Spicer 18 build using a Dana 20 case, Low18 gears, and ATV's own ATV Mfg. Overdrive. I hopped a plane and stood over the shoulder of vintage Jeep parts guru and ATV's owner Herm Tillford as he assembled my new T-case and ran through some of the finer points of successfully rebuilding and running Spicer 18s. Tune in next time for a more in-depth look at ATV's Overdrive and the T-case installation into the Jeep using an adapter from Novak Conversions. Then, how about a good old-fashioned vintage Jeep road trip?
Spicer 18 Through the Years
1- The standardized '41-'45 WWII-era flatfender and very early '45 CJs used the T-84 transmission with shift rails that protruded through the rear of the tranny case, requiring corresponding holes in the mounting face of the Spicer 18. These holes can be a source of leaks when not used with a T-84. These first Spicer 18s ran a small 3⁄4-inch intermediate shaft with bronze bushings and only had 1.97:1 low range with a special 27-tooth x 6-spline input gear and are considered to be somewhat weak. All Spicer 18s with the exception of the late V-6 models have a 3.150-inch input bore diameter and are referred to as "small hole" cases.
2- Early '46 models increased the intermediate shaft to 11⁄8-inch with caged needle bearings on the intermediate gear. The low range was upped to 2.43:1 and the input gear was 26-tooth x 6-spline. Note, early 11⁄8-inch cases still have vestigial T-84 shift rail holes, so Tillford speculates Spicer merely bored leftover 3⁄4-inch hole MB cases.
3- The later '46-'55 models were essentially the same as the early '46 models, but the T-84 shift holes were gone and a solid T-case to transmission mounting face helped prevent leaks when bolted to a T-90 or other transmission.
4- The late '55-'71 models received a larger 11⁄4-inch intermediate shaft that utilized free roller bearings inside the intermediate gear for more strength and longer service life. The input bore diameter remained at 3.150-inch and input gear was 29-tooth, 6-spline, although pickups and many later four-cylinder CJs received the "large hole" 4-inch bore case. Low range for the 29-tooth cases is 2.46:1.
5- All '66-'71 V-6 models got the "large hole" 4-inch input bore cases with slightly heavier construction more akin to a Dana 20 case and a 11⁄4-inch intermediate shaft. The input gear is a 29-tooth, 6-spline with the T-86 and 29-tooth, 10-spline unit with the T-14 transmissions.


text: Well, nice to see you guys explain your reasoning. It's also sad to see you completely missing the point. The issue is TIME, not SPACE, as in "time in real life" as opposed to "storage capacity of a videogame reward repository", but I'm done debating that whole thing. Anyway, hope to see/hear more on the new direction in the coming weeks, been looking forward to some of what I suspect it's about for a while.

[deleted account] ( 529 moms have responded )
Does anyone believe that abortion is wrong. Even if the child is so-called going to have a disease. I look at it this way. All babies have every right to live, no matter what. If a mother can't take care of the baby, give the child up for adoption to another mother who wants one.
Also, I see it this way. A baby is supposed to so called have a disease, like turners or down syndrome..and shouldn't be born because of it...All because of financial problems and etc.
What if you were born normal, with no problems and one day something bad happens...you ended up with a bad disease that causes you to not be able to take care of yourself. It would be the same, wouldn't it. You should just well be killed because of financial reasons and it's just too hard to handle...

This round of buyouts comes as a follow-up to incentives that GSA offered 652 employees earlier this year. Only 85 workers accepted, however, a GSA spokesman told Government Executive in June.
There will be a third round of buyouts and early retirement incentives offered later in the year, according to an email the Post acquired. While the email did not specify who received offers, the GSA spokesman said five offices within the agency were eligible in the first phase, including the Office of Governmentwide Policy and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer.
"These offerings are strictly voluntary, represent a win-win for eligible employees thinking about retiring or leaving federal service, and help GSA meet our long-term strategic goals," the spokesman said in June.
Current eligible employees will have until July 20 to accept the proposal.

Peter Rabbit
Mischievous bunny Peter (James Corden) and his sisters Flopsy (Margot Robbie), Mopsy (Elizabeth Debicki) and Cotton-tail (Daisy Ridley) have one goal in life to get past mean old Mr. McGregor (Sam Neill) and help themselves to his garden, the one they believe is theirs because it's built on land their ancestors have inhabited for years. Luckily, not everyone is like Mr. McGregor his next door neighbor, Bea (Rose Byrne), loves the bunnies and even lets them inside her house when it rains.
When Mr. McGregor passes away, he leaves the house to his nephew, Tom (Domhnall Gleeson), who loves his job at Harrods in London. However, he decides to travel to the country for a short time to get the house ready in order to sell it. When Tom meets Bea, they develop a mutual attraction, but Peter doesn't approve, because this new Mr. McGregor is, in his eyes, as mean as the old one.

Performance improvement in CS6 is made interms of refreshing the Property inspector on Mac platform.
On Windows platform file open /edit and save limit has been increased for 64 bit machines.
Adobe Fireworks CS6 is a 32-bit application only.Also performance interms of rendering on canvas or preview is not changed in CS6.

Thank you for your response Shubha. But what does this mean? An Adobe Employee should be expected to write in coherent English if they are going to be charged with responding to client queries on the official forums. This sloppy, inadequate response seems typical of this sloppy, inadequate update to Fireworks.
How can you, Adobe, continue to push this software out and expect us to buy it when you can't even provide a proper update. There is no justfiable reason to have Fireworks still running in 32-bit mode. It's 2012, come get with it you're supposed to be a leader. Bohemian Software's new Sketch 2.0 is a 64-bit program and it is only at version 2.0 and it flies cirlces around Fireworks not in features, yet, but in performance and interface. How are these Ma and Pa shop graphic software developers with their limited resources and manpower growing their applications at a rate several magnitudes faster than Adobe?
You upgraded the property bar? Big deal, that and your paltry CSS copying feature are not enough to call Fireworks CS6. This is atrocious, truly atrocious. How long do you think you can keep milking your users?
5. Re: Why is CS6 slow, 64bit-mode or not?Graugans GbR May 9, 2012 8:30 AM (in response to lazypixelmachine)
I totally agree! Its been 18 month I believe since CS5 and all Adobe did where adding a CSS3 panel and a so called improved color palette! Incredible. This programm has the potential to become a serious tool for web development and despite all constraints it seems to be, but not because its good, but because there are no alternatives, (except for Photoshop).
Real improvements like a usebale preview which renders immedately not just after a few seconds, an easy way to use global colors, reasonable dropshadows, (everybody I know uses the edge feather effekt instead) a measurement tool which can be used easily and so on and on...
My guess is that Adobe will let FW die in near future, as more and more people switch to Photoshop. But calling it Upgrade and demanding 150 bucks?
6. Re: Why is CS6 slow, 64bit-mode or not?mzetlitz May 13, 2012 1:30 AM (in response to Graugans GbR)
Thanks for giving my frustration a voice @lazypixelmachine and @cltzwerth. I can't but totally agree on what you say regarding the CS6 update.
The truth is that behind the few of us that voices our opinion and frustration, there are many more professional users with the same opinion. But, we are probably not enough to make Adobe change.
It is appalling.
And thanks @lazypixelmachine for the tip on Sketch 2.0. Going to try it out. Regardless, I will put my cash here instead, so they can make that application a true replacement.
Edit: Spelling mistakes.
7. Re: Why is CS6 slow, 64bit-mode or not?entremaneur May 29, 2012 5:21 PM (in response to Graugans GbR)
Agreed. I am astonished with what Adobe considers an upgrade. I don't how they are making decisions on enhancements or new features, but it sure isn't from listening to customers. Here is the bottom line, it's clear Adobe doesn't view Fw as a serious tool for serious designers. They know that serious designers won't use it, they'll use Photoshop. Despite the fact that Fw fills a huge gap between Photoshop and Dw for things like producing functional mockups/prototype, "real" designers are loathe to use it because of the stigma attached to it. I think that's a shame, but IMO it's why Adobe ignores it. On the other hand Dw suffers from a similar but different problem: "real" front-end developers won't use it, and it's not difficult to see why.
Dreamweaver is marketed as a tool for "non-developers" to build great websites, so the Dw team focuses on features like the "fluid grid" system released in CS6. Serisously, what were they thinking? Even for non-developers there are a million of those on the web. And now that Twitter Bootstrap is essentially pervasive it seems that everyone accept the Dw team knows what good code looks like for grids. On the other hand Dw is lacking a ton of functionality that many open source tools have and that most front-end developers have come to expect from an IDE. Even basics features are missing, like using themes for code coloring (which is included in virtually EVERY other IDE because of how useful it is to developers, but not Dw...). And It's 2012 but Dreamweaver still has no Git integration? Subversion only! Who still uses that today? Surely only people who haven't heard of git. There is no support for pre-processors like LESS/SCSS/SASS, coffeescript, HAML. No support for zen coding...
I could go on and on and on. All these features are missing and the Dw team spends their time on that crappy fluid grid system. Sigh... I'm done with Dw, Sublime Text 2 and the browser do everything I need.

It is that time of the year again, when hanging on to fast bunches is a real struggle, or an impossibility! It is all to do with that "off season" stuff, or strength training I do. This time, been three months of a very low kilometer count, as well.
How to fix that? A race at Lakeside (1 hour in a hilly circuit) and a fast Zupps bunch ride, I thought. But, like my start of any other year, I got dropped in both... But that should be OK, I needed to go through the physical and mental pain and just get the intensity and the legs turning a bit faster.
This morning, to test myself, I joined Sandra's McAfees Ride, which includes a 6.5 km/300 m elevation dash to a look-out. Because of the heavy europe layer I am carrying, and saving for next month, I (kind of desperately) even emptied my second drink-bottle before I passed the street sign at 5:34 am. From there, the ride was full of those moments when we feel a bit sick and think of turning around.
And after some uncomfortable eighteen-minutes-ten-seconds (Strava time) I was at the look-out on Mt Nebo Road. Slower than my best time of 16'18" a couple of years back, and on the R3, but a surprising fast time, if I may say so.
I don't have the power data from those earlier rides to McAfees and Nebo but I can see some good numbers from this ride - an FT(20 min) of 3.98 w/kg. That's always encouraging.
What's next?
With the date of our departure getting closer, there are lots of important things to do (I've been told). Training time is limited. But that isn't necessarily a bad thing because it is very important to stay rested and healthy in preparation for the contrasting (freezing) riding weather we are going to encounter in Europe. Short(ish), medium intensity rides are in the menu for now.
Perhaps, one more dash to McAfees...
And what else?
Well, I am officially unemployed. Or, I am officially a pro-cyclist because I will be paying myself to ride a bike for the next eight months. To mark the occasion, leaving work that is, I put together a video of my last commute, something I did on-and-off for almost seven years. Rides that, undoubtely, made me a better cyclist.
Have fun!

Trial Aftermath – Will Jordan Johnson Play Grizzly Football Again?
With Friday's 'not guilty' verdict still ringing in the air, one question has been asked by thousands of Griz fans..will Jordan Johnson play football for the Grizzlies again?
That question was asked of University of Montana Athletic Director Kent Haslam on Friday afternoon, just hours after the verdict. Haslam was in Bozeman for Saturday's Griz-Cat basketball games.
Haslam said that under the official UM student code of conduct, a suspended athlete may apply in writing to be reinstated to a team, if he or she wishes to do so. He said Johnson must make that application himself, that no one else may apply on his behalf.
University of Montana Athletic Director Kent Haslam
Friday afternoon Grizzly head coach Mick Delaney said he would not speculate on what Johnson might do, and wanted to give Johnson and his family the weekend to reconnect and enjoy each other before answering any questions from the media.
As far as academics go, during a post-verdict interview, attorney David Paoli said, "Johnson won't have that much time to celebrate since he has a math paper due," which would infer that Johnson is still enrolled in school.
Vice President for Integrated Communications at UM Peggy Kuhr said Johnson is still a student, and that providing any other information would be a violation of that student's privacy. When asked about an official position by the university regarding the not guilty verdict, Kuhr said, "that has been a procedure that has been before a court of law, and we respect the legal process. What we have been doing is to focus on what we are in control of, and that is working with students to provide a safe living environment. So we really look at what we're providing here on campus, a safe living environment ,and good student services... and that would be our comment regarding the verdict."
When asked about the possible fallout after the not guilty verdict regarding whether or not any young woman would want to report a sexual assault, given the extraordinary events of the past year, seeing a young woman endure an ordeal such as the alleged victim in the Johnson case, Kuhr said, ''The university and the city have worked hard to make sure that all students have access to information, so that they feel like they can come forward if something has happened concerning a sexual assault, and that they feel their confidentiality is respected. Some people choose to move forward, some people choose not to; our focus is student safety, and that people feel they have good resources here, both on campus and with the city, so we look at what we can offer in the form of education."
VP for Integrated Communications Peggy Kuhr

Hello all!
Did you ever sit down to your computer with your cup of coffee and wiggle the mouse? And…. nothing happens. The screen stays black. That's what happened to me yesterday morning. I put it in sleep mode right before I went to bed and then it didn't want to wake up. Talk about minor heart palpitations! 🙂 Then came the chaos of getting my husband and boys off to camping for a couple days – talk about a chore and a half! So when I finally got some time to think it out – I went on a google search as to why my computer wouldn't 'wake up'. Luckily I found a cool video right on YouTube that showed me to unplug the RAM for a few seconds, plug it back in and all the other components too and voila! I was so excited! I love when I can fix things on my own!
So – now we play catch-up. Today you can click HERE for Day #5 and on the image for Day #6:
**Links have Expired**
But wait!!!!! I hope you'll join me today for a fun speed scrap. Please??? Pretty Please??? 🙂
Hope to see you there!!! Have a fabulous day!
PS. I'm disabling the link for Day 1 tomorrow – so tell all your friends to scoot over and make sure they don't miss any days! We love when new people come to visit! 🙂

Now You See an Impact Plume, Now You Don't
These alternating views taken by the Hazard-Avoidance cameras on NASA's Curiosity rover show evidence for an impact plume created when the rover's sky crane fell to the Martian surface. The sky crane helped the rover gently land on Mars before flying away and crashing in a planned maneuver.
The view flips between images taken about 45 minutes apart. The image taken earlier shows evidence for the "blob" thought to be the impact plume; by the time the later image was taken, the blob had disappeared.
These images are from the rover's rear Hazard-Avoidance cameras. They are one-quarter of full resolution (256 by 256 pixels).

Just when you thought the Samsung Focus Flash had vanished into thin air, AT&T has started pushing out the Windows Phone 7.5 (a.k.a. Tango) update to the tiny little phone.
Windows Phone Tango brings a handful of small fixes to the OS that includes multiple images in MMS, send ringtones via MMS, more reliable push notifications, new wallpapers and a few other performance optimizations.
Along with the Tango update, you'll receive a Samsung firmware upgrade. Not really sure what all is involved with the firmware portion of the update but it's usually minor fixes and performance tweaks.
When all is said and done the Focus Flash will have OS version 7.10.8773.98 with Firmware version 2103.12.05.4. You'll also see a new radio version, 2220.127.116.11 installed.
The Samsung Focus Flash is a neat little Windows Phone and it's nice to see it not being left out in the cold just yet.
Thanks, AJ, for the tip!
Update: Okay... so this one may have snuck under our radar based on a few comments from readers having already updated their Focus Flash to Tango. Nonetheless, it's the first time we've heard of or seen the update on the Focus Flash and it's still nice see it getting the update.

A proposed zoning plan for the Panhandle was stopped in its tracks last week, as Lancaster County Council decided to instead extend its rezoning moratorium.
The original plan for council's Feb. 27 meeting was for members to hear first reading of an ordinance to add several business zoning classifications to the county's Panhandle area.

I'm Dreaming of a Lighter Christmas
Healthy holiday recipes you can feel good about indulging in
Studies show that during the two-month holiday season that starts with Halloween candy and ends with Christmas pudding, most of us will gain about a pound. "No big deal," you say. "That's easy to take off." In theory, yes, but in reality, most of us never bother to shed it. A decade later you suddenly realize you've bumped up a size. I don't want that to happen. That's why this year I'm dreaming of a light Christmas!
Our family tradition is roast beef. In Christmases past, I would have served up a well-marbled prime rib with creamy horseradish sauce, followed by a big bowl of chocolate mousse for dessert.
Not this year. Instead, I'm roasting up beef tenderloin, an unusual cut because it's both lean and tender. For those assets you pay a price, but if you're ever going to enjoy a tenderloin, 'tis the season. Plus, whole beef tenderloin serves a large crowd, and leftovers are superb.
You can buy beef tenderloin two ways. For those who shop at warehouse-style grocery stores such as Costco or Sam's Club, beef tenderloin comes untrimmed and packaged in Cryovac. And untrimmed tenderloin contains many large pockets of fat, so you'll need to trim it a lot. There's also the silver skin, or connective tissue, to deal with … or not. You can leave it alone — it really doesn't affect the meat's texture — but it will cause the roast to bow during cooking. If you don't want the curling, simply snip the silver skin crosswise in a couple of places or remove it completely with a sharp knife.
Unless you like to butcher, you'll want to buy trimmed or peeled beef tenderloin. It's more expensive, but when you figure the weight of the excess fat and your labor, it's probably worth the extra cost.
Either way, you'll need some butcher's twine. Because the roast has a tapered shape, you should tuck the thin end under so the roast looks uniform and cooks evenly. Once it's been prepared to this point, the rest is simple. This classy roast does not need to be gussied up. Just oil, salt and pepper it and shove it in the oven. In 40 to 45 minutes it will emerge gorgeous and perfect, ready for Parsley-Red Pepper Sauce -— a festive, healthier alternative to traditional sour cream-horseradish sauce.
Dessert is light and festive, too. Instead of cream-laden chocolate mousse, this pudding is enriched with evaporated milk, which has half the calories of heavy cream. Top the pudding with Warm Prune-Walnut Sauce, which you can double, if you like: It's a wonderful topping for yogurt and granola the next morning.
I ate only one piece of Halloween candy, and my Thanksgiving dessert was fruit and cheese with a glass of port. With this year's lighter roast beef and Christmas pudding, I hope that when I hop on the scale on New Year's Day, I'll have no surprises.
Simple Roast Beef Tenderloin With Parsley-Red Pepper Sauce
Serves 12 to 16
- 1 large roasted red bell pepper, cut into small dice
- 1 cup parsley leaves, chopped coarse
- 1/2 cup walnuts, coarsely chopped
- 6 cornichons, sliced thin, plus 2 teaspoons cornichon juice
- 1/4 cup capers
- 2 scallions, sliced thin
- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper
1 beef tenderloin, peeled, trimmed of excess fat and tied crosswise, at 1-inch intervals (about 7 pounds if buying an unpeeled tenderloin, 4 to 5 pounds if the tenderloin has already been peeled)
Mix the bell pepper, parsley, cornichons and juice, capers, scallions, 1/2 cup olive oil and kosher salt and black pepper to taste in a small bowl; set aside. (Can be covered and refrigerated for a couple of days; return to room temperature.)
Adjust the oven rack to the upper-middle position and heat the oven to 425 degrees. Set the meat on a sheet of plastic wrap and rub the tenderloin all over with the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon kosher salt and 2 tablespoons black pepper onto the meat, lifting the sides of the plastic wrap up and around the meat to press on excess.
Roast the tenderloin on a wire rack set on a shallow roasting pan until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the roast registers about 125 degrees for a roast with a range of medium-rare to medium, 40 to 45 minutes. Remove the roast from the oven and let it rest for 15 minutes. (Can be cooled to room temperature, wrapped in plastic wrap and refrigerated.)
Cut the roast into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange on a serving platter and serve with Parsley-Red Pepper Sauce.
Caramel Pudding With Warm Prune-Walnut Sauce
Serves 6
- 3/4 cup dark brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3 large egg yolks
- 2 cans (12 ounces each) evaporated milk, 2 percent or regular
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup prunes
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 strips orange zest
- 2 tablespoons orange liqueur, such as Triple Sec or Cointreau
Whisk the brown sugar, 3 tablespoons cornstarch and the salt in a medium saucepan. Just before adding the milk, whisk in the egg yolks, then turn the heat to medium and vigorously whisk in the milk. Continue to whisk until the mixture thickens to pudding consistency. Remove from the heat; stir in the vanilla. Pour into custard cups or goblets; place a sheet of plastic directly over the surface of each cup to keep a skin from forming. (The puddings can be refrigerated for a couple of days.)
Bring the prunes, cinnamon stick, orange zest and 1 1/2 cups water to simmer in a small saucepan. Continue to simmer until the prunes are soft but still intact, 5 to 7 minutes. Mix the remaining 2 teaspoons cornstarch into the orange liqueur; stir this into the prune mixture. Continue to simmer until the prunes have thickened to a light sauce consistency. Remove from the heat and let stand. When ready to serve, warm the prune sauce, stir in the walnuts and spoon the sauce over the puddings.

Iowa Occupational Therapy Graduate Schools
There are several degree options for students interested in a career in Occupational Therapy including joint bachelors and masters accelerated programs, masters in OT (MOT), Transitional Master of Occupational Therapy (TMOT), and Occupational Therapist Doctorate (OTD) degree. The American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) is the accrediting agency for all occupational therapy schools and programs.
For students who wish to pursue their OT education in a classroom setting, use the listings below to browse on-campus OT schools.
A masters in Occupational Therapy, earned through one of the occupational therapy schools accredited by the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) is considered the minimum educational requirement for employment as an Occupational therapist.i However, per the AOTA, both the masters and the doctoral degree are entry-level degree standards as this allows for "flexibility of the profession."ii
Typically, it is the masters degree that prepares students to take their National Board for Certification in Occupational Therapy (NBCOT) exam. A pass in the exam allows students to use the title "Occupational Therapist, Registered" (OTR). i However, students must also pursue licensure in their state.i
What Are the Requirements for OT Grad Schools?
Graduate level occupational therapy schools typically require students to have first earned their bachelors degree from a regionally accredited college. Those who did not earn their bachelors in Occupational Therapy often must fulfill some course prerequisites. These tend to include biology, anatomy, psychology, and statistics. OT schools may also ask for referral letters, a personal essay, work and volunteer history, and a minimum GPA.
Types of Occupational Therapy Programs
Graduate occupational therapy schools offer masters, doctorate, and two-tiered OT programs.
- BS/MS in OT Programs are designed for students who know early on that they want to prepare for a career in occupational therapy.
- MS in OT Programs are designed for students who have completed a bachelors degree and any applicable course prerequisites.
- MA Post-professional OT Programs are more accelerated programs aimed at students who have earned their Bachelors in Occupational Therapy.
- MS/OTD Programs are designed for students who want to prepare for board certification and go onto earn a doctorate to refine their clinical area of expertise.
- Clinical Doctorate in Occupational Therapy (OTD) Programs are non-research practitioner degrees that may help students integrate evidence-based practices.
- PhD in Occupational Therapy Programs are research-focused terminal degrees that may help students pursue research and faculty career paths.
Which Occupational Therapy Schools Should I Consider?
Do you wonder which OT Grad School to choose? You might want to think of the type of OT program you need first. Then, look at some of the features of the campuses on your list to help decide. For instance, what could the location of the school offer? Are there research opportunities? What resources are in place for students? Things like an extensive library, or a small class size may lend appeal.
OT Fieldwork
Many OT schools have partnerships where students might complete their supervised clinical fieldwork. These could include local hospitals, outpatient centers, rehabilitation facilities, community organizations, schools, and private practices. This practicum usually relates to the course of study that is focused on in each semester.
OT Accreditation
Students who aspire to pursue a career as occupational therapists should consider Occupational Therapy Schools that are accredited. OT schools are approved through the Accreditation Council for Occupational Therapy Education (ACOTE®) which is part of the American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA).

Please don't peel the onion
I had estimated that we would be between 30 million and up to 200 million in the hole when the next administration took over. Both Landrieu's admin. and these city officials are estimating the low end of my guess....but....I fear they may not be taking some critical factors into account.
1. The Revolving Fund - I still have not seen a total expenditure amount on the fund and I'm very concerned that large chunks of that cash were misappropriated.
Let's just take the largest amount I know of, 18 million bucks for the Mahalia Jackson Theater. If that project is rejected by FEMA ....oy vey.
There could be myriad other expenditures from the fund which we have yet to discover.
I hope I'm wrong.
2. LRA/ D-CDBG Funds - Has any of this money been misappropriated? I have heard that is the case and if so, how much? If HUD comes knocking and asks for money back....it could be a massive chunk of cash.
I hope I'm wrong.
So not to toot my own horn, but I was nearly right on the money on the low end...I said the low end would be 30 million. The high end is contingent on how much federal money the Nagin administration may have misappropriated.
I'm just letting you know the news may get worse.
I hope I'm wrong.

A rumor I've heard is that a huge portion of the hole is actually do to the Mid-City Hospital plan. Lots of money getting shifted around and revenue projections that are turning out to be complete fantasies...

Well, Clay, that would be typical. I totally buy that.

To what degree does all of the above depend on the disposition of FEMA personnel? Do they have a wide enough discretionary power to rule that some of these questionable projects are OK if they are so inclined?
- April 28, 2010 at 10:16:00 AM CDT
casino's dont bother me. with them come hotter women and better clubs. oh and taxes.
no one's nuked Nevada yet.. only argument one could make is that it could bring organized crime. but how's the triad or syndicate in Biloxi these days?

- Dambala said...
Jeffrey, I am not sure how much of the discretionary power lies with FEMA or with the state, but just to clarify it's not so much about the validity of the projects as it is the procurement process which Nagin had in place to award those contracts.
- April 28, 2010 at 10:36:00 AM CDT
er wait.. so if you just flip a project to your developer buddies, then said project may not be eligible for FEMA reimbursement, due to failing to met a documented, technical procurement process?

incline brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 22 Designs von 9 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Design a single landing page to promote specials on digital picture frames available at our retail partners. We already have a logo, color scheme & header designed that you should incorporate into the design.
We are a company that features specials on a variety of technology-related products from a variety of retailers. We are looking for a landing page to use to promote digital picture frame promotions to visitors from our marketing campaigns.
- Our main goal is to create a page that generates conversions -- clicks out to our retailer partners
- Incorporate our existing site header & logo which you can find here
- We don't want any left rail navigation on the page
- We want a main page headline. Something like "Save up to 50% on your next Digital Picture Frame"
- We want a sub-headline
- We will display 8 products grouped into 4 pairs (each pair representing two picture frames of the same size). For example, we might have a section for 7 Inch Digital Picture Frames, 8 Inch Digital Picture Frames, 9 Inch Digital Picture Frames and 10 inch digital picture frames.
- For each product pair, we will have a section heading describing the grouping (e.g. 7 inch Digital Picture Frames)
- For each product, we will want to display the following information:- Product name
- Approximately 4 short product highlights
- List price, savings, deal price
- Product Image
- Link to buy the product. The link will take users to one of our retailer partners. We would like to see our partners' logo used.
- An average customer rating (1 to 5 scale)
- Optional - Some way to convey those offers that include free shipping
- Optional - Some sort of headline / callout associated with certain products (e.g. "Top-rated")
- We'd like to incorporate a promotion that invites users to submit their email address to be alerted to new deals on digital picture frames. We would prefer the alerts to be associated with an individual section (e.g. Get alerts when we post new specials on 7" frames)
- For an end product, we just want a layered PSD file that we can deliver to our dev team
- We want the design to be consistent with a technology deals website
- We want to incorporate the footer links from our website
- We don't want flash website
- We don't need any HTML coding

Gingham, the La Mesa eatery opened last year by San Diego celebrity chef Brian Malarkey, is being sold to the Cohn Restaurant Group.
Restaurateur David Cohn confirmed this week that his company will be taking over the now-closed restaurant, which he plans to reinvent as a neighborhood, Mediterranean-style bistro, not unlike two of his other venues, 100 Wines in Hillcrest and Bo Beau in Ocean Beach.
He expects to close escrow on the business deal within a week.
"La Mesa is an under-served market, and while there are a lot of great restaurants in the area, we think something a little more creative and design-oriented -- but neighborhood friendly -- is what this restaurant should be," Cohn said. "We have asked a lot of people in La Mesa for input, and we talked with the mayor, and everybody seems to like this idea."
The sale marks yet another turning point for the still evolving fabric-themed restaurant empire started by Malarkey and partner James Brennan, who opened a number of San Diego nightclubs before turning his attention to restaurant development.
Brennan, who declined to comment on the Gingham sale, has repeatedly said that the Enlightened Hospitality Group, which he and Malarkey founded in 2009, is focusing its efforts on expanding its popular Searsucker and Herringbone restaurants to locations outside San Diego County. The dining group, however, has struggled to replicate its success at some of its other venues as it opened several restaurants in quick succession in recent years.
Late last month, Enlightened Hospitality announced it was closing its Burlap restaurant in Carmel Valley and that it will reopen it as a Searsucker, the downtown San Diego dining spot that has been exported to Scottsdale and Austin. And three weeks before that, it announced it was closing the barbecue-themed Gingham, even though months earlier Malarkey had emailed patrons that he was committed to keeping it open and delivering "my delicious versions of your favorite backyard barbecue classics."
Cohn said chef-partner Deborah Scott and Operations Manager Michele Kveen will be overseeing the Gingham makeover, but no name has been chosen for the new restaurant. Philippe Beltran, who helped design 100 Wines and Bo Beau, will also be involved with the redesign of Gingham, said Cohn, whose company operates 15 dining spots in San Diego County.
A key part of the restaurant's new look will be an overhaul of the patio, which will include a children's play area, similar to The Station Tavern in South Park.
"We will invest a lot in fixing up the patio. We want that to be really fabulous," said Cohn, who hopes to reopen the restaurant by Aug. 1.
The Cohn Restaurant Group had been in negotiations late last year to purchase Gingham, but later backed out.
"We were really busy at that time and decided to pass," Cohn said, "and we later had a chance to revisit the deal."
