I would like to get some opinions on what true pontiac fans consider to be the better motor for a 1972 lemans sport, a 350 pontiac or a 455 pontiac. The lemans will be used for street use, mostly just cruisin but occassionally blowing the doors off from a mustang or a foreign match box car.I appreciate your opinions thank you.
Ok Pontiac never made a small block.I'm partial to the Pontiac 350 and 400 over the 455 but it all depends on what you want and what you already have what is in the car now.I have a 1979 regal in the readers rides section that is powered by a Pontiac 350.
Engine builder,self taught auto body guy.Horsepower sells engines and torque wins races
I assume you mean the original numbers matching 350? It all depends on what you want. The 350 is a great cruiser with a few mods such as a mild cam, dual exhausts and 4 barrel carb/intake. With an overdrive trans swap and some decent gears (3.42-3.73) it will perform very well and still give you mileage when cruising on the highway. On the other hand a 455 built to the same level will do the job without the deep gears and overdrive trans. Likely the mileage will suffer if that's a concern, because you still have to feed 455 inches compared to 350, but it will have huge torque!Steve
A little help... 'cause we don't all have to learn the hard way!
Torque rules on the street. Only so much power can be used in 1st gear on the street. Once you hit 2nd with a 455, say goodbye as the torque continues to pull through top gear. I have been around street racing for 15 years. As the street cars have gone from 13's to 12's to 11's and a few 10 second rides, the top fastest cars on the streets in our region are all 455's... a 12 second 455 car can take down a 10 second small block on the street. The small block needs to hook hard with RPM and gearing on a prepped track to run that 10 seconds. That cannot be done on the street. The 12 second torque monster can leave with ease, and then force the power down once out of 1st gear pulling all the way.
Dude this is a no brainer. If you have access to both, more cubes are always better. Both pontiac motors are the exact same size externally the differances being bore, stroke and the all important main journel size.The 455 has a very heafty 3.25 main while the 400 and below blocks have a still bigger than chevy 3.00 main.If you really want to "blow the doors off a mustang or foreign match box car" go with the 455!!!!
Just wanted to say thanks for all of yours opinions. I'am new to the pontiac world of performance. Back in 1988 I owned a 1980 transam all I did was beat it into the ground. Now older I want learn more about the performane of my car. Not just push the gas pedal to go faster.But I still love that feeling. Looking forward to years of pontiac performance. Thank you, keep cruision..
Yeah I'm new to the Pontiac thing as well. I think I've owned every marque of muscle car in one form or another...including an RT charger, 69 mach 1, Aussie GT Falcons, commodores and I dont think I've had so much attention and/or respect at shows or on the street etc. as since I bought my 66 GTO - especially with a 455. Everything I have read to date points to the 455 (providing its the right model)makes it very hard to beat. Do your homework though. Just my 2 cents
I built a 455 for my 77 FB way back when and got 26 on the highway for fuel mileage. With a good cam and 2.41 gears, it will still smoke just about anything out there. At least mine did.
Anna Mae quit.
Another vote for the 455 here- I've run 350's, 400's and 455's in my '72 Firebird, but I'd have to say I had the most fun w/ a 455. It's not the most economical engine, especially if you built it to run (9-11 mpg w/ 850 DP/ Torker II w/ no.64's, RA IV cam, big headers), but you can't beat the performance- low 12's on street tires.I'm planning to build another one soon, this time w/ ported 6x-4's, Probe SRS flat tops and PPR 4340 I-beams, but sticking w/ the RA IV (Crower 60919)- should be a fun motor.Geno

|not personally visited, all the pictures were donated by readers. I would love to visit this and some of the other castles of Okinawa someday.
The castle was originally founded somewhere in the 13-14th centuries. It was modified and expanded several times coming into its hieght of power during as a palace and fortress for the Ryukyu kings who established the unified Ryukyu kingdom in 1429. These kings ruled for abour 400 years until the Meiji government ousted the king in 1879 and established the prefecture of Okinawa. From 1609 the kingdom was under the control of the Satsuma clan and thereby the Tokugawa Shogunate but they kept some freedom regarding their relationships with China.
Obviously Shuri Castle was neither influenced by the same factors as typical mainland castles nor does it have many of the same structures or types of architecture. The castle and other related sites in the area were designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2000.

Astonishing because it is a very different castle from the main islands and the colours are powerful, a magnificent glimpse of a lost empire.

Thanks for the congrats.

Congrats on hitting your 100th castle, Furikazan. I haven't been to this one yet, but it is certainly on my "To Visit List". Thanks for all the informative comments that you have been posting about your castle visits in Okinawa, northern Kanto and Tohoku now. I will definitely make use of them when I visit castle sites in those regions.

Furinkazan, Congratulations on #100 and what a fantastic site to do it at! Are you visiting many more Okinawa Castles ?

Guess who is back in Japan? For my 100th castle visit in Japan, i wanted something special. I thaugt Shurijo would be perfect for that. It's easy to access with the Yui monorail, getting off at Shuristation. The reconstructed buildings are very interesting. Reconstruction is still going on behind the Seiden, on the eastern part of the castle. This year i bought the book for collecting the 100 meijô stamps. Coincidentally number 100 is Shurijô. I really recommend visiting this castle.

The reconstruction of Shuri Castle is truly a work of art and perserverence by the Okinawan people.When I last saw the site as a sailor stationed at Naha in the 1950's it was nothing but a pile of rubble. Kudos to those who were responsible for its reconstruction. The civilian population lost 150,000 inocent people in the battle for Okinawa and everything they owned. Okinawans are a warm and gracious people. They deserve to get back a small part of their unique culture.

Amakekiru No Hirameki was developed in this very castle by Seijuro Hiko the First. I can't wait to visit it one day and see the slash marks that have survived the centuries from the edge of his sword.

I hope I can clear some confusion here. Shuri castle was built as both a fortified castle and a royal palace. The stone fortifications are Okinawan in design and belong to a separate (and older) tradition from mainland Japanese castles. If there was any influence from one to the other it was probably from Okinawa to Japan. The wooden structures are a fusion of Chinese and Japanese elements and functions that are blended in a uniquely Okinawan way. Therefore, Shuri Castle is unique in all the world. It belongs on this site and in other works about Japanese castles because Okinawa is today a part of Japan. One more thing - the fact that it could be reconstructed after nearly being obliterated during the WW II and then having a university campus built on top of what little was left is truly a modern miracle!
March 27, 2012 at 01:03 AM
It's a "Japanese Castle" as in a castle that exists in Japan, but since it is from the independent Ryukyuan Kingdom, it's not a "Japanese Castle" in the sense that the Japanese built it. It is a Ryukyuan palace. A lot of people do separate the Chinese-style palaces from what we call "castles" but in Japan it is considered to be a castle and its name is Shuri Castle. I don't know what Frank's point was but the reactions are a bit hostile.

January 21, 2012 at 09:06 PM
Yeah, Frank....I hate to break it to you but it is an Okinawan Castle. It has obvious Chinese influences, but it is technically a Japanese Castle (and a beautiful one at that).

This is neither Japanese nor a castle, but it is a very good reconstruction of the palace. The grounds are extensive and worth some time.
August 01, 2011 at 10:26 PM
HI I recently visited Okinawa's Shuri Castle and the architecture was heavily influenced by the Chinese. Thats why one can imagine or think the castle looks very familiar to the Chinese empires
April 03, 2010 at 06:16 AM
Shuri castle doesn't look much like a japanese castle, as from the outside it is very much reminescent of a chinese castle or palace, but on the inside;however you can tell

Kaisan, don't be a know-it-all. It's in Japan right? It's a castle right? Did you read what the guy wrote above? He writes how it's different than usual ones.
March 07, 2009 at 07:14 AM
I am not sure if the castle stand as the same class of castle of Japanese castle. Okinawa used to be a culturally and language distinct island nation than the Japanese Isles. It only got annexed and assimilated into Japanese in the recent history.

Visit Okinawa's Shuri Castle and realise the hard detail it took to rebuild the landmark. The Okinawans were nearly wiped out by the U.S. and the original castle still stood before WWII. Today, it's an art work by the revival of the people of Okinawa, and today, 3 million Okinawans live in the world as opposed to 1/3 being wiped out by Americans.

text: Obeying President Obama's dictum that it's always educational to check in with what the other side is saying, I checked in with MSNBC's Countdown the other night. Sure enough, there was Keith Olbermann himself barking up I will admit, interesting leftist views on issues A, B, or C. But what got my attention was, well, a bit of outright, easily verifiable factual untruth. If we were talking Joe Biden, the word would be gaffe. It seems Keith, who has never had an easy time with women or blacks in authority if they have decided to take a stroll off the liberal plantation, has taken his usual disdain for conservative women and zeroed in on Nevada's GOP Senate candidate Sharron Angle. Fair enough. Angle is a Senate candidate and criticism from people like Olbermann comes with the turf. But what came next was what amazed. If you will follow this link, nicely provided by our friends at Real Clear Politics, you will see the Big Guy launch into a side comment Angle made in response to a questioner on a local radio show. The questioner, clearly an Angle admirer, had believed her not capable of winning the Senate nomination and was now confessing his sin. To which Angle replies: "Well, you know, it's just like Abraham Lincoln. He lost quite a few but he won the big one ." Olbermann, who delights in calling her Sharron "Obtuse" Angle " -- pounced. And promptly shot himself in the foot. Both feet, actually. Instantly picking up on the Lincoln reference, Olbermann could barely contain his glee at the notion of Angle as Lincoln. "Just for the record do you how many elections Abraham Lincoln lost in his lifetime?" he asked, leering into the camera. With drama benefitting Gloria Swanson as the fading star in Sunset Boulevard, Olbermann holds up a solitary finger. Then goes on to say: "The Illinois state assembly in 1832. He prevailed in four elections for state assembly, one for Congress, two for president . seven of eight he won." Ouch. As if this wasn't embarrassing enough -- the blithely unknowing host ends by saying this, an allusion to the famous Lloyd Bentsen "I-knew-Jack-Kennedy and Senator, you're no Jack Kennedy" line to Dan Quayle. Said Keith: "Sharron Angle, I knew Abraham Lincoln's won-loss record and you're no Abraham Lincoln." Ouch. Ouch. And ouch again. You have to wonder -- was there a single MSNBC suit sliding under their desk at this point? Did they even know enough basic American history to know they might wish to consider the option? Was there anybody who had the guts to say to this barking fountain of factual error: "No, Keith, you don't know Abraham Lincoln's won-loss record. Not even close." For the record -- drum roll please -- Sharron Angle was 100% correct in saying Lincoln lost a "few" elections. Here's Abraham Lincoln's actual score with elections. He did indeed win four state assembly elections, and lose in 1832, just as Olbermann says. In fact, Abe ran 8th in a field of 13 candidates back there in 1832. Alas for Keith, who apparently relies on some crackpot if unmentioned website as opposed to checking with, say, the works of Pulitzer Prize winning Lincoln biographer Carl Sandburg, Ms. Angle has the goods: Here's Lincoln's record with voters, per Sandburg: 1832 -- Lost his first race for the state assembly 1834 -- Won a seat in the state assembly 1836 -- Won re-election 1838 -- Won re-election 1840 -- Won re-election 1842 -- Lost a race for Congress to John Hardin (per biographer Sandburg. Lincoln actually came in behind a friend, Edward D. Baker -- losing his own Sangamon County delegates to Baker. Later, he would name one of his sons for Baker). Lincoln structures deal that Hardin, Baker and finally himself would each serve back-to-back single terms in Congress. 1846 -- Wins congressional seat, succeeding his friend Baker, who had succeeded Hardin. As per the Lincoln deal. 1854 -- Elected again to the Illinois legislature, but loses a race for the United States Senate to Lyman Trumbull. Writes to a friend: "I regret my defeat moderately, but I am not nervous about it." Mary Lincoln was so enraged at this loss that she never again spoke to Trumbull's wife Julia -- who had been a bridesmaid at Mary and Abe's wedding. 1856 -- Loses the vice-presidential nomination of the new Republican Party to William L. Dayton, a former U.S. Senator from New Jersey. Dayton received 259 votes to Lincoln's 115, becoming the running mate of John Charles Fremont. Hearing of his defeat, Lincoln laughs and says, "It must be some other Lincoln." 1858 -- Lincoln loses a race for the United States Senate to legendary rival Senator Stephen A. Douglas. In the course of the campaign, the two travel Illinois in what are known to history as the "Lincoln-Douglas" debates. The debates help make Lincoln -- and his pro-union, anti-slavery argument -- famous. 1860 and 1864 -- Elected and re-elected president. In other words, Keith Olbermann was not only wrong but so wide of the truth and the facts as to give Bill Clinton on Monica a good reputation. Sharron Angle, on the other hand, was right. Making her remark 100 percent factually correct. Lincoln ran 13 times, according to biographer Sandburg, not eight as Olbermann said with such assured smugness. Lincoln lost not once, as Mr. Drama Queen asserted, but, again according to the Pulitzer winning biographer, five times. Once for the state assembly, once for Congress, once for vice-president and twice for U.S. Senator. The latter Senate race famous to this day. None of this would matter a hill of beans for the red-faces at MSNBC if they weren't pinning so much of their stuff to, say, mocking Glenn Beck for not knowing what he, Beck, is talking about. One understands network rivalries. Fox is beating the pants off MSNBC. Which is why Olbermann goes after Fox or Beck or O'Reilly or, on radio, Rush. If you can't get the ratings yourself tag on to those who can is the apparent strategy. Be that as it may -- or maybe especially be this as it may -- one would think the suits at MSNBC would be smart enough to know that such a flamboyantly obvious mistake about a basic fact of American history adds to the network's reputation for not simply being biased but just shamelessly not telling the truth and caring less about it. Question: Is Keith Olbermann secretly on Sharron Angle and Glenn Beck's payroll? Come on. Really. How much does Roger Ailes pay him to do this stuff? Ya just can't make it up.

Keralan Duck Curry
Duck is a staple in the Backwaters, a region of intricate canals and lakes in the Indian state of Kerala. Aniamma Philip uses whole duck for this spicy dish, accented with cloves and citrusy curry leaves, but boneless breasts are a fine alternative. Make the extra effort to look for fresh or frozen curry leaves; they are much more potent than dried ones.
Slideshow: Easy Indian Recipes
- Total Time:
- Servings: 6
- 1 teaspoon turmeric
- Kosher salt
- 6 skinless, boneless Pekin duck breast halves (5 ounces each)
- Seeds from 6 cardamom pods
- 6 whole cloves
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 medium red potatoes, peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
- 6 fresh curry leaves
- 6 garlic cloves, smashed
- 4 long hot green chiles, seeded and thinly sliced crosswise
- One 1 1/2-inch piece of ginger, peeled and julienned (3 tablespoons)
- 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- One 14-ounce can unsweetened coconut milk (see Note)
- 1/2 cup water
How to make this recipe
In a small bowl, mix 1/2 teaspoon of the turmeric with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt and rub over the duck breasts. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a spice grinder, grind the cardamom seeds, cloves and peppercorns to a powder. Transfer to a small bowl and stir in the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric.
In a large, deep skillet, heat 1/4 cup of the oil until shimmering. Add the potato slices in a single layer and cook over moderate heat until browned, about 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels and season with salt.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil. Add the duck breasts and cook over high heat until browned, about 2 minutes per side; transfer to a large plate.
In the same skillet, cook the curry leaves over moderate heat for 2 minutes. Add the garlic, chiles and ginger and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the onion and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the spice powder and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 3 minutes. Return the duck to the skillet along with any accumulated juices, cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes, turning the breasts a few times. Return the duck breasts to the plate.
Open the coconut milk and spoon 1/4 cup of the thickened milk from the top and set aside. Put the remaining coconut milk in a bowl and stir in the water. Add the thinned coconut milk to the skillet and simmer over moderately high heat for 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to moderate. Add the fried potato slices and simmer for 1 minute. Add the duck breasts and simmer for 8 minutes, turning once. Stir in the thickened coconut milk and simmer over low heat for 3 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer the duck breasts to plates and spoon the potatoes and sauce around the duck and serve.
Don't shake the can of coconut milk before opening to make sure the thickened milk stays on top. If cooking homogenized coconut milk, add the entire can plus 1/2 cup of water at the beginning of Step 6.
Serve With
Steamed white rice
Suggested Pairing
Since an oaky red might overpower the complex flavors here, look for a light-bodied, berry-rich bottling like a juicy California or Oregon Pinot Noir with lots of fruit.

Kate celebrates the Academy Award winning film Slumdog Millionaire with an appreciation of Indian masala and suggestions for a Hollywood-Bollywood Oscar Party, plus don't miss her Valentine's Day Recipe ideas.
by Kate Heyhoe
Through the magic of movies, Indian culture has fed us well. Crossing over from Bollywood to Hollywood, we've stirred up Aloo Gobi in Bend It Like Beckham, tossed rice grains at a Monsoon Wedding, spiced up black and brown into a Mississippi Masala, and even wed an Accidental Husband at the Samosa Palace. In Slumdog Millionaire, the feasts are fewer and harder to come by: our hearts crumble at two boys' unsuccessful attempt to steal food through an open window, while hanging from the rooftop of a speeding train.
Set in Mumbai, Slumdog Millionaire rocked onto the American screen—two weeks to the day before 2008's terrorist bombings rocked the real Mumbai (formerly Bombay). Slumdog Millionaire is gritty, disturbing, poignant, and it's also happy, spirited and engaging, thanks in part to A.R. Rahman's infectious Bollywood beat. The film won four Golden Globes and eight of its ten Oscar-nominated categories.
Given Slumdog Millionaire's impact, watch for revivals of Nehru jackets and armloads of bangles; a resurgence of Indian cookbooks, music and art; and an expanding awareness of India's most notable offspring. Just a few of India's famous talent, Western-born generations, and ex-pats include (with M for Mumbai-born):
A masala in India means a mix of spices, and there are as many different types of masalas as there are cooks in Mumbai. Slumdog Millionaire is its own cinematic masala, mixing British and Indian talent into a film that captures the spirits of both Hollywood and Bollywood. As with spices, the blend creates layers as complex and sensory stimulating as the most fiery Kerala curries.
If your appetite yearns for a taste of India, cookbook authors Raghavan Iyer, Madhur Jaffrey, and others have entered Western doors through Indian kitchens (their books are especially good for novices). You'll also find plenty of Indian recipes in our archives, from these and other Indian authors.
Sari Tip: If like me, you fancy the look of saris as drapes, here's my home decorating secret: a number of online companies make custom drapes from saris in magenta, saffron, plum and other colors, with gold and silver threads. Google "sari curtains" and you'll find some great deals.

Cloud shift in media
Cloud is set to impact media companies massively. It affects the way in which content is delivered to the consumer. It affects the way broadcasters and publishers work with their wealth of specialist partners. It affects the way major media companies organize their internal resources and business processes.
Three dominant cloud-related themes emerge in our discussions with broadcasters and publishers:
- Non-linear programming – the thirst for content has never been greater. How can cloud help foster more agile and adaptive means to make and market content?
- Monetisation – it must be smart, agile and granular. When content can go global in seconds, how do content owners keep track?
- Process transformation – you demand agility for content ingestion, contribution, play-out and post-production. Is there space for a progressive cloud approach?
Cloud is already part of these and many other of our business discussions with media clients. We think it's time to move it up the agenda

hopefully this is clean enough, if not I'm sorry for doing it again.
1) Two statues, one a naked man the other a naked woman, faced each other in a park for 100 years. One day an angel came down and gave them life for 30 minutes. The angel told the statues they had 30 minutes to do what they wanted to do the most and then they would be statues again. The two looked at each other and ran to the bushes. The angel heard them giggling and the bushes rustling and so on, then they came out...breathing hard and smiling. The angel told them they still had 15 minutes left and that they should go do whatever they did, again. The woman said" lets change positions this time, you hold the pigeon and I'll crap on its head".
Thats funny stuff right there!!!

Salt Lake City's new public safety building is more than a year from its scheduled completion. But when it opens in July 2013, it will house a combined police and fire 911 emergency and dispatch center if Mayor Ralph Becker gets his way.
Right now, the city's police and fire departments have separate dispatch centers.
Combining them as called for in Becker's proposed budget makes sense, according to Police Chief Chris Burbank and Fire Chief Kurt Cook. The pair made that assertion this week during a City Council session. Among other advantages, both said it would smooth coordination between the two agencies during emergencies.
The council is sifting through Becker's $204 million 2012-13 spending plan. The council must sign off on a budget by June 30.
The proposed dispatch center appears in the upcoming budget even though the public safety building will not open until after the 2012-13 budget cycle. That's because efforts to join the police and fire call centers must begin soon, said Becker spokesman Art Raymond.
Although Burbank and Cook said the combined dispatch center would bring eventual efficiencies, the mayor's plan shows no savings for the upcoming year.
The fire department's call center would have been set at $1.45 million, while the police department's service would have been pinned at $3.72 million. The combined center proposal comes in at $5.2 million making it a wash.
"There are no initial cost savings, but there may be over time," Raymond said. "We will be able to maintain service levels with three fewer employees."
According to the mayor's proposal, the dispatch center would be independent of the police and fire departments and be operated by 54 full-time employees. A director, who has yet to be selected, would report directly to the mayor.
The combined dispatch center is expected to receive about 100,000 emergency calls a year.

dyno charts for underdrive pulleys? mpg?
I have an 04 zhp 330. I have searched and couldn't find any dyno charts from you guys before and after with under-drive pulleys. Also I didn't see any mention of mpg after install. I have gotten a new job where i put a LOT of miles on my car and can justify a performance mod to the better half if the mpg are there:rofl:.
Anyone have some info/charts for me?
correct me if i'm wrong, but underdrive pulleys don't make any power. they just make the accessories that are run off the belts use less of the motor's energy.
If you're going to be using cruise control, any mod is great. When you increase volumetric efficiency, you'll increase gas mileage... as long as you're not on the throttle. I still get around 30mpg with headers, cams, 3.46, but only when I don't touch the gas and cruise at around 70.
How underdrive pullies work is exactly as you describe. (in the e46's case) They spin the alternator, water pump and power steering slower. They don't 'make' extra horsepower they just let the engine use less of the power it produces to drive accesories and it instead goes towards the rear wheels.
On my mustang it was a noticeable difference. People seem to say its not on the e46 and that doesn't make much sense to me. That's why I would like real dyno and mpg observations.
I used to get about 27-28 mpg and lately I have been getting 24-26 but it is colder out as well. those # are at 70-75mph.
So any anecdotal evidence of mpg or power or hopefully a dyno?
I believe this is from a '95 M3 FWIW:
various combination of mods on a 330:
Very cool, thats a great dyno chart! answers a lot of questions about modifications!
any mpg improvement estimates?

Hampton senior prepares for Naval Academy
Jake Kocsis has always had a desire to serve others, and this summer he will embark on a journey that in the end will allow him to serve his country.
Kocsis, 18, a senior at Hampton High School, is one of 1,190 students accepted into the freshman class of the United States Naval Academy, in Annapolis, Md., one of the most elite post-secondary institutions in the country.
"I wasn't surprised because he is one of those kids who just shines," said Marguerite Sciulli, Kocsis' former English teacher and current assistant principal at Hampton High School. "Jake is a hard worker. He's somebody who will constantly try to improve what he's doing … He has the motivation to do more, and I think the Naval Academy saw that."
Kocsis recognized his desire to serve and protect others as a lifeguard at the Hampton Community Pool. He spent last summer at a weeklong camp at the United States Coast Guard Academy, in New London, Conn., where he got a taste of military life.
"It was a lot of work and a lot of getting yelled at," Kocsis said. "But on the last day, the cadres let us talk. I felt like I spent a lot of time with them, and they were my friends. It was the sense of camaraderie I really liked."
He chose the Naval Academy because it incorporated an international aspect, which he also is passionate about.
Kocsis and his family spent two years living in Slovakia where, he said, he developed an appreciation for the privileges he experiences as an American.
"We as Americans are very blessed in the things we can do," Kocsis said. "It stuck with me. I feel we have a duty to help other people who can't help themselves."
Kocsis was accepted to the Naval Academy based on an involved application process that included a medical evaluation, physical test and academic credentials as well as multiple outside recommendations from teachers and coaches and a legislative nomination from former U.S. Rep. Jason Altmire.
Kocsis is a member of the National Honor Society and is on the varsity swim team. He also is a member of Jewish Community Center's club swimming team in Squirrel Hill, and Lend Our Hands, a service club at the high school.
Kocsis is president of Model United Nations and treasurer of the Spanish club.
As Kocsis begins to focus on the next stage of his life, he now has added a training regimen with Realize the Athlete Within, or R.A.W. Training, in Hampton, to prepare for the physical challenges of the Naval Academy.
Kocsis will begin his Naval Academy training, known as "plebe summer," on June 27. The training will last through mid-August.
"I know it's going to be a summer of very little sleep and a lot of yelling, a lot of discipline, but I know I will come out better," Kocsis said.
Kocsis hopes to major in engineering, and when he graduates, he will be an active duty commissioned officer in the Navy.
"I really want to be in some way in the Armed Forces because I want to give back to the country," he said.

" Brand: Muller / Type: Yoghurt "
This flavour has ALWAYS been my favourite! it is not too sweet or too sour! and the only banana yoghurt out there really!! This yoghurt has no lumpy bits, which I also love!
The yoghurt comes in a square shaped pot, with a little pot on the side which holds the chocolate covered cornflakes. You can pour the chocolate flakes into the yoghurt or eat them separately! Whichever you like! The chocolate flakes are of good various sizes, i like to have a few on each spoonful of yoghurt! The chocolate is obviously not top brand stuff, tastes a lot like the sainsbursy basic chocolate you can find for 29p. But still tastes good!
The colour of the yoghurt is very light, almost cream coloured and not some awful artificial bright yellow colour! The yoghurt is light and creamy, the perfect consistency!
You can buy an individual pot for 61p, but they are usually on offer such as 4 for £1 or currently in tesco 7 for £3. you can also buy them in multipacks for £3.29 which is 6 yoghurts. You get 2 of the banana and chocolate, 2 toffee yoghurt with hoops and 2 vanilla yoghurt with white choc balls. Obviously shop around for the best deal. The variety packs are on offer at the moment for 2 for £4. so you could get 12 yoghurts for £4 instead of 7 individual yoghurts for £3!
You can also buy the muller corner in a snack size which only come in variety packs of 8 mini yoghurts (85g). These are great for kids, or if you just want a smaller portion and currently 3 for the price of 1 in test! Bargin!
I have probably tried most of the Muller corners that are available but this remains one of my favourites and along with the vanilla choco balls is one of my most frequently bought. I remember eating these in the 90's so they've been around a good while. Flavours have come and gone, but this is one of the originals that has obviously stayed because of its popularity.
The yoghurt comes, as all Muller corners do, in a plastic pot which is split diagonally. One side contains the yoghurt and the other, smaller side, contains the crunch. The idea being that you can snap or bend the pot in order to pour the crunch into the yoghurt.
The banana yoghurt is a smooth, velvety textured yoghurt. I don't actually like bananas but funnily enough really like this yoghurt, and would actually even buy it on its own without the crunch. The flavour is subtle. It has the definite taste of banana but not overpoweringly so. Coming to think of it, I don't recall any other banana flavoured yoghurts on the market.
The chocolate flakes are literally just like corn flakes that have been covered in milk chocolate. They are nice and crunchy (as the name suggests) and you get a good sized portion of them to mix in with the yoghurt.
I really like the combination of the yoghurt and the flakes as they pep the yoghurt up and make it more interesting, complimenting the texture and flavour. I liked these as a child and still eat them as an adult; they are equally suitable for both. If you haven't tried one yet, then I recommend that you do, as in my opinion it tastes lovely.
The corners are priced at around 60p but are often on multi buy offers where you can mix and match flavours. At the moment this flavour is on offer for 25p at Lidl (16/07/11).
I'm not a fan of lumpy fruity yoghurts with bits in and banana is my favourite flavour so for me this yoghurt is ideal and I've eaten them for a good few years now and think Muller is a good quality brand!
It comes in a square shaped white plastic container, which is split into two different sized triangle shaped compartments with the smaller sized one, containing crunchy chocolate covered cornflakes, being able to be poured into the larger one, which houses the yoghurt.
With regards to the yoghurt, the banana flavouring is apparent from the first taste but it's not too strong like over ripened banana's or artificial tasting, instead its quite light and refreshing. The colour is a quite pale creamy yellow colour and the texture of the yoghurt is creamy and thick, whilst still having a runny consistency to it. On opening the pot the yoghurt itself needs a little stir in order to mix it all up together so it's all one thickness, but I have found this with most yoghurts.
The choco flakes are small chunky flakes of corn that are covered in a thick chocolate. I leave these pretty much every time I have this yoghurt as I don't particularly like them very much and prefer to just have the yoghurt separately. For me they taste a bit artificial and the chocolate, although not really cheap tasting, its definitely not one that I would buy from a shop if sold as a bar.
This particular flavour of the crunch corners can be bought individually and costs around 52-62p in supermarkets and can also be bought in a multi pack which contains different varieties as well as the banana flavour.
Personally I find this yoghurt makes a lovely snack or an after meal treat. Calorie wise I wouldn't have thought this was the healthiest yoghurt on the market however, they are still a dairy product and also taste great so you're onto a winner I think!
This is my favourite of the Muller crunch corners, I don't usually like fruit flavoured corners and only eat the vanilla choco balls corner, but after trying this it has now become my favourite.
I really like the way that the flakes taste, after a couple of chews they seem to just melt in your mouth and the yoghurt is obviously banana flavour but is fairly subtle and tastes really nice with the flakes.
The crunch corners are great for all the family and are becoming cheaper as they are regularly on offer such as 2 packs of 6 for £3.00 etc.
There are other yoghurts that have slightly lower calories in them than these but I would say that they do keep your hunger at bay and are really tasty. I sometimes eat them instead of cereal in the mornings and they keep me going fine till lunchtime.
Other flavours in the pack include Vanilla choco balls and toffee hoops.

Overall I would say that this product is great for packed lunches, snacks at home or as a dessert.
I think they provide excellent value for money and are fun for children and adults.
As a child I used to love yogurts, especially banana flavoured. However I have noticed of late banana yogurts seem to be increasingly hard to find. That is why I love Muller crunch corners. The mixture of yogurt and chocolate is just brilliant.
The packaging:
The actual packaging is square and flatter than normal yogurts. This makes them easier to store in the fridge because as the weight is distributed more evenly they can be stored on top of each other. The lid has a silver looking backing I presume for added freshness. The container is split into two sections. The largest section contains the yogurt with a smaller section containing the chocolate flakes. You can actually break the container so the flakes fall into the yogurt. Mmmmmm!
The Product:
Gorgeous -next question. No sorry, the yogurt is nice and smooth and has a light yellow colour to it. It tastes very strongly of banana without being overpowering or leaving a strange taste in your mouth. The corn flakes are coated in milk chocolate and have enough coating so you can taste both flakes and chocolate. There are enough to give the yogurt a nice addition without overpowering it.
Price and Availability:
Single pots can vary between 50 and 60p in most supermarkets. Often they are on promotion for example my last pots were on promotion at 4 pots for £1. Before Christmas i bought 6 limited edition pots in a multipack for £1.99. It's really just a case of being there at the right time and spotting the offers.
Health Information:
Each pot contains 150g. It claims there are no artifical colours (which I can believe because it is not as yellow as others I used to get). It also has not preservatives or sweetners. This I also can believe because it doesn't taste as sweet or sickly as some yogurts i have tried. Even so I would not recommend it to diabetics, espcially those on diet only control.
Per pot the information is:
Energy: 602kg.
Carbonhydrate 19.3g
Sugar 16.8g
fat 5.2g
Fibre 0.3g
Sodium 0.1g
Calcium 130mg ( 24% of recommended daily amount)
All in all it's not the healthest of things to eat. However I find them very tasty, ideal at any time of the day and there are plenty more flavours to choose from.
The Muller company has been around for many years, adding to their range of yoghurts new flavours. The one with banana and choco flakes has been on the shelves for many years.
For those who are not familiar with the Muller yoghurts, they come in a plastic box, with one side having the yogurt, and smaller corner with the stuff you are supposed to add to the yoghurt, in this case the choco banana flakes.
I buy these from Somerfield, Asda and Tesco. Somerfield and Asda run regular promotions and you can have some time 6 for 2 Pounds, some time even 10 for that amount of money.
If bought individually, they normally retails for half a Pound each, more or less. Opening the lid on these yoghurts is always easy, I never had any problem, and I feel a bit like a child when I lift it and look with excitement until when the lid is gone and I can see the crunchy parts. They look so nice and yummy!!
Not only that, but the smell of banana was very inviting. The yoghurt definitively smell of banana and also tastes of banana. The thing with banana flavoured things is that I find that not always the manufacturer gets the taste right, some time it is too sweet or even a bit nauseating, at least for me. It is not the case with this yoghurt.
The chocolate flakes taste like chocolate and surely I would have done with more because I am greedy, but in honest, there are enough and once you pour them and then start stirring them and mixing them, you will see that literally each spoon you will put into the yoghurt will have at least a bit of chocolate.
The result was great and I consider this one of my favourite yoghurts!
I love yogurt and when Muller's first came I thought they were brilliant and still do!
I love the idea of having two different compartments, one with creamy yogurt in and the other with tasty toppings, yum!
One of my all-time favourites is 'Banana Choco Flakes' which is banana yogurt with milk chocolate coated cornflakes...
This combination is fantastic as it's so tasty and satisfying that the 150g fills even me up, lol!
This Muller product comes under the 'Crunch Corner'' varieties, although this maker does loads of different types of desserts now so there's something for pretty much everyone :)
The full prices of these are around 52p each, but there was an offer on at Morrisons at the moment for only 25p each - better than half price, so we have stocked up on loads of different types.
Advertise as having no artificial sweeteners, colours or preservatives or artificial sweeteners and containing 24% of an adult's daily recommended calcium allowance, these can be a pretty healthy option apart from the 5.4g fat in each 100g.
The calories are 143 per 100g so not that healthy then when you study the foil lined pot cover!
With a whopping 16.8 g sugar per 100g this twin pot really isn't a good option for a dieter is it?!
For any allergists it contains milk, gluten, soya and may contain nut traces...
So to the taste it is very rich and strong with the banana flavour really coming through in the yogurt. The consistency is smooth and thick and very creamy and very yellow in colour.
The little cornflakes are crunchy and dry and sweet and the chocolate is tasty and quite thickly coated. I think the two flavours really compliment each other and I love the soft and hard textures, yum!
This crunch corner snack smells gorgeous and natural and is well worth five full stars, a great addition to the moreish Muller family! :)
Muller make a huge range of assorted yoghurts and puddings from the lowly rice pudding to the spanking gorgeous crunch corner range.
The whole muller family contains over 100 members with the crunch corners alone comprising of ten delicious flavours.
As well as being delicious, Muller claim that 90% of their milk comes from dairies within 30 miles of their dairy. Im a huge supporter of local produces and so this is great to see.
Something else that was good to hear was that they do not use any 'e' numbers that are linked to hyperactivity, so it shouldnt have your little darlings bouncing off the walls. Speaking of little ones, this range is suitable for pregnants mums to eat to.
On their website they provide helpful information for diabetics, people with coeliacs disease and on the front of some tubs there is a printed 'V' to show that the particular product is suitable for vegetarians (the absence of said 'V' indicates veggies should avoid).
Crunch corners come in a white plastic tub with two seperate compartments, a large one for the creamy yoghurt (in this case delicious bannana flavour) and a smaller one for the 'crunch' (in this case moreish chocolate covered corn flakes).
Now its upto the individual whether to tip the crunch into the yoghurt or attack them seperately. I tip'em in to the yoghurt as the contrast between soft cool bannana yoghurt and crunchy chocolate flakes is too a-peel-ing (sorry there had to be at least one rubbish attempt at a pun) to resist.
I love all crunch corners but this one is my absolute fave and could happily eat vats of the stuff. The bannana yoghurt really does taste bannanary, its best eaten right from the fridge when its nice and cold.
Its also high in calcium with one 150g serving providing you with 24% of your reccomended daily allowance. Good news for bones and teeth alike.
They are sold in multipacks of 6 (costing around £2.90) or individually (for around 50p). As with most things you save a little buying the multipack (about 10p).

I don't eat many yogurts but when my sister gave me this one because she didn't like it I decided to give it a try because banana and chocolate are 2 of my favourite things ever and this has both of these things in it!
It's a Muller corner yogurt and the yogurt is banana flavour and in the smaller triangle of the pot there are loads of chocolate covered cornflakes. YOu mix the cornflakes in with the yogurt so that you've got crunchy chocolate and smooth banana in every spoon.
The yogurt is smooth and tastes nice of bananas, it's like a kids dessert this so the banana tastes more like sweets to me than proper banana and is just like a strong version of them foam sweet bananas you used to be able to buy. It's not that sweet but is proper moorish and especially when you have mixed the chocolate cornflakes in.
The cornflakes are delish. They have got a strong chocolatey flavour and are lovely and crispy even after you've stirred them into the yogurt. The 2 tastes are soooooo yummy together and I think the yogurt is the best one Muller have ever brought out. I love how thick and creamy the yogurt is and the strong taste of banana because a lot of banana yogurts haven't got much flavour I don't think.
I reckon this yogurt has got a proper artificial taste to it, more in the yogurt but even the cornflakes taste a bit fake and synthetic to me. Sometimes that doesn't matter though like with this but if any other yogurt had such a fake taste then I wouldn't like it but I reckon it's the added bits and pieces that make this yogurt as yummy as it is so who cares about a few E numbers!
These yogurts are a bit expensive and are about 60p each but it's not one that I'd eat that often so I don't mind paying a higher price than usual for it because it's tasty and helped today when I had a sweetie and chocolate craving come on suddenly.
The muller crunch corner yogurts offer many different yogurt flavours, they basically contain two parts, the big triangle is the actual yogurt that you can get in many different flavours and the small triangle is full of the toppings.
In this case, it's the Muller Crunch Corner Choco Banana Flakes Yoghurt, which is my favourite of all the muller corners. The yogurt is a thick creamy banana flavour which tastes fantastic. The banana flavour is quite light and not too strong, as I have had banana flavoured yogurts in the past and they have tasted really strong and artificial where as these really don't.
The other smaller triangle then is filled with chocolate flakes, they are basically cornflakes which are coated in chocolate, the chocolate goes so well with the yogurt and it gives the whole thing a really nice crunch and chocolate hint of flavour.
These yogurts are great as a quick snack or are great at breakfast time as well, you get quite a bit in each yogurt however they could be a bit more filling however apart from that there great and the taste is the main thing and that couldn't be better.
Muller Crunch Corner Banana with Chocolate Flakes is a old flavour that never goes out of style. The yoghurt costs about 49p in my local shop, although often the big Tescos have them on offer for 5 for £2 or similar. You can also get a multi-pack if you like a variety of flavours.
The yoghurt comes in the traditional Muller Corner square tub, with a large yoghurt pot on one side, and a smaller fruit or crunch pot on the other. You fold the pot down the middle to tip the crunchy chocolate flakes onto the yoghurt.
The flakes are small cornflakes coated in a reasonable quality chocolate. They don't tend to be too badly damaged in transit due to the nature of the pot. By keeping them sealed seperately from the yoghurt they don't get damp or soggy.
The yoghurt is a natural banana colour, in a fairly pastel shade, not like some of the horrible neon rave colours in some yoghurts. You get a generous helping, although the tight corners of the pot can make it difficult to get at unless you use a teaspoon.
This yoghurt is my favourite of the crunch corners, I think the banana and chocolate mix really well, and I'm not even a fan of banana! However my dad, who eats bananas by the truck load, loves a yoghurt and has never been known not to finish any meal, can't stand them. They are the only food he has ever been known to dislike. I'm still giving them 5 stars, but may I suggest you only buy the one the first time.
I often pick up the multi pack of crunch corners, with six yoghurts in, two of each flavour, the pack is ideal for lunch boxes, peoples snacks etc. This is the flavour, out of the three in the pack which goes the quickest. It is my personal favorite amd I think everyone else in my household must agree with me also!!
Crunch corners are a fairly novel sort of yoghurt experience. The plastic pack comes in a square shape, but is divided diagonally into two parts. One part is smaller than the other and this contains the treat part (in the case the chocolate flakes) the larger part contains the banana yoghurt. The lid of the crunch corner yoghurt peels off easily and fans will lick the lid clean! The pastic bottom half is recyclable which is a huge bonus as far as I am concerned.
There is a snap easy line between the two sections which you fold in half and then can pour the chocolate half into the youghurt side and mix it up. Of course, you can eat them separatley, but part of the treat is that they taste so good together. The yoghurt is yellow in appearance (a mild colour rather than neon yellow) and tastes of a banana flavour that is not too sickly or sweet, just like artificial banana. The chocolate part is small bumpy crispy flakes (the nearest thing I can think of is frosties, but a smaller version). I think the reason this is everyones favorite is because the two flavours compliment each other so perfectly.
This yoghurt is gorgeous, and worth buying!
I love yoghurts, usually after my lunch and my yoghurts of choice at the moment are the Muller Crunch variety as they give me something sweet to eat and they are usually on special offer.
A Muller Crunch Corner is split in to two pots (both made from plastic) which are separated from each other and the whole thing is sealed with a foil lid for freshness (don't forget to 'lick the lid of life' as Muller say!).
One section of this yoghurt is quite a lot larger than the other and this contains banana flavoured yoghurt. This yoghurt is quite sweet and does have a banana taste to it. This yoghurt tastes a little artificial but it's still relatively nice and it's definitely sweet and sometimes it's just what I need after my boring lunchtime sandwich. The second section of this yoghurt is quite a bit smaller and it contains chocolate coated cornflakes. These cornflakes are quite crunchy and on occasion I have found them to have an almost stale quality to them, however, they are covered in chocolate and lovely and deliciously cool.
How I eat my yoghurt normally depends on what kind of mood I'm in; some days I will just tip all of the crunch corner part in to the yoghurt and other times I eat them separately, also, sometimes I just have a bit of yoghurt and dip it in to the crunch corner. All in all, however I eat these I'm always pleased with the quality.
I find that the sweetness of the yoghurt topped off with the chocolate coated crunchy cornflakes is just what I need to keep my sweet tooth satisfied.
Per Muller Crunch Corner Banana Choco Flakes there is 215 calories & 7.7g of fat so these should be enjoyed in moderation. Also, each yoghurt costs around 50-55p separately from my local Tesco or Sainsburys stores. These are available in a 6 packet multipack (3 different flavours) for around £2.90 and the only time I ever buy these is when they are on buy one get one free!
I love this yoghurt even though I'm not the biggest fan of real bananas. I am going to rate this yoghurt 5/5 as it's delicious and I want another one now!
I'm not overly fond of yogurts which incorporate chocolate into them in any way, although I will always make an exception for this Müller Choco Banana Flakes Crunch Corner which in my opinion is absolutely delicious.
Like the Müller Fruit Corners, the pot is split into two triangles with the yogurt itself in the larger section and the chocolate covered cornflakes in the smaller one. I find there is the perfect ratio of yogurt to flakes in this Corner and as I tend to mix mine together it means I always get a couple of crispy flakes in each spoon of yogurt.
The banana yogurt is absolutely delicious, it doesn't have that slightly sour note that many banana yogurts get and is wonderfully smooth with a sweetness that makes it seem more of a dessert than a yogurt. In actual fact it puts me in mind of the Müller Light Banana Custard yogurt as this has a definite custard taste and feel, all the more so because it's such a smooth and creamy yogurt.
On their own I find the chocolate flavoured cornflakes a little harsh in flavour, a little like when you steal a bit of cocoa powder and realise it's not as sweet as you thought it was going to be. Well, the opposite is true here and although the cornflakes look perfect they do have an intense sweetness that completely overpowers even the chocolate.
When mixed with the banana yogurt though the flakes lose much of this sugariness and their flavour settles down to one of good quality chocolate (which it probably isn't, I'm not a fool!) through which you can almost taste the actual cornflakes. The texture is fantastic when you mix them; the creaminess of the yogurt is such a wonderful contrast to the crunch of the flakes, and the flakes don't lose any of their crispness even when they have been absorbing the lovely banana flavour. The flavours of the banana and chocolate go very well together, complimenting one another beautifully with their very different flavours.
Honestly I'd consider this more of a dessert or pudding than a yogurt. When I have yogurt in my fridge, which isn't all the time as I do find them rather boring, I like to be able to pick one up for my breakfast or have one as part of my lunch. However, these sweet ones are just too heavy to contemplate unless I really fancy something chocolatey or sweet - although this is by no means a failing and is true of any other sweet yogurt.
The Corner is 150g and has 215 calories and 4.8g of saturated fat, which on the face of it doesn't look too bad but let me advise you that this sweetness comes from over 25g of sugars which is terrible news! It is a very substantial treat though and the sweetness of the yogurt makes it seem so much more special than a 'normal' flavour, the addition of the chocolate cornflakes is what really makes it for me though and considering the speed with which my three granddaughters' demolished these the other night I'd say they agree!
It was whilst I was picking up a few 'bits and pieces' in my local grocery store the other morning than I took the notion for something quite sweet to eat after my lunch. Perusing the aisle of sweets and biscuits, I found nothing that 'tickled my taste buds' and gave up my search.
Whilst I was picking up some milk and butter though, my eye happened upon a selection of 'corner' yogurts and desserts from the Muller range that were nestled neatly in the fridges. I selected two desserts and paid around 60 pence each for them.
One of the yogurts that I bought was the 'Muller crunch corner' - banana choco flakes variety, which is basically a banana flavoured yogurt in a pot, alongside a serving of milk chocolate coated cornflakes.
I do love banana flavoured things, and am also a huge chocoholic, so I figured that this particular Muller crunch corner would be an ideal choice for me!
After my lunch, I settled down to eat my yogurt whilst watching some afternoon TV and found it to be really quite enjoyable. I have only ever tried the Muller 'fruit corner' type of yogurt so the whole 'crunch corner' thing was quite a new concept to me!
What I found was that the yogurt was very sweet, although I personally did not find it to be overpowering or sickly at all. The banana-flavoured taste of the yogurt was a bit kind of 'false' but I did enjoy the flavour to the yogurt overall.
On the down side, I didn't think there was anywhere NEAR enough chocolate flakes to accompany the banana yogurt, so I guess it is a good thing that the yogurt tastes good on its own! I also thought that the little flakes were a bit too small for my own liking - I personally would prefer much larger flakes!
That said, the chocolate flakes tasted of fairly good quality milk chocolate and were quite delicious when eaten with the banana yogurt, so perhaps we are paying for quality rather than quantity with this product.
All in all I thoroughly enjoyed this little pot of pudding, and will probably buy it again in the future, although I am hoping that they work out a bit cheaper from some of the larger supermarkets!
I would point out that the packaging on the yogurt that I bought is slightly different to the picture shown on the dooyoo page - it is mainly white in colour and not yellow!
The nutritional information on the 150g pot informs me that 100g of this yogurt will provide 5.2g of fat alongside 143 calories. The foil lid on top of the pot informs me that the yogurt does not contain any artificial sweeteners or artificial colours. There is also some basic allergy information given.
Smallish cornflakes or not, I thorougly enjoyed this pudding and fear I may have a new addiction! Therefore, I am going to award this 'Crunch Corner' top marks - it gets five out of five from me! :-D

Saw this on the KOMO news site today:
Man fatally shoots would-be mugger
YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) - A man was shot to death outside a residence in Yakima and police believe it was a justifiable homicide by a man being mugged.
Police responded to a report of shots fired Monday night and found one man, Michael Valadez, with head and arm injuries, and another man, Franklin McWain, fatally wounded.
Valadez says he was outside the residence to pick up a friend when the other man struck him in the head with a stick and demanded his money. Valadez, who has a concealed weapons permit, shot McWain at least twice.
Police found a broken stick that was apparently used in the attack. Valadez suffered a broken arm.
Police say McWain had a criminal record of six felony convictions and 27 misdemeanor convictions.
Another scumbag has left the genepool, and a law-abiding citizen is still alive.

2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
10 Attachment(s)
Sad to say, the 14' lamp will not fit the 11-13.
All the attachment points are the same.
Where the grille and corner of the light meet, there is about a 3/4in gap. However the headlamp looks good all around. I didn't expect a perfect fit, but I also did not expect it to be this much off.
I took plenty of pics. Sorry to report the bad news!!
Re: 2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
3 Attachment(s)
and a couple more...
Re: 2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
Been following your other post, really appreciate your hard work!!
The gap looks like an easy fix, guess it comes down to the harness...
There is a guy locally selling a set of 2014 led headlghts, I will start trying to lowball and hope that a harness can be created...
If a harness were created, would it matter if the gc was a halogen or hid??
Jeep_addicted is the guy to ask about that. I can do visual stuff not electrical lol.
The gap really isn't that bad someone can come up with a filler.
Re: 2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
How did you get your hands on an export headlamp?
Re: 2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
that's my headlamp.....LOL
I also have abrand new set of SRT export headlamps....LOL
Re: 2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
Re: 2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
Re: 2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
The 11-13 has two bolt on points for where the grill attaches to the frame. I don't know if these two attachment points have been moved up to accommodate the 14's bolts. Since the 12's grille is wider than the 14's this may have changed.
We'd need someone from the inside to confirm this or if someone is doing the 11-13 to the 14' conversion it could help.
Re: 2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
How about cutting those lights open and taking the LED stuff out, and placing it into a 11-13 headlight "body"
Re: 2014 Headlamps in a 2012...
My personal opinion is, I don't think that would look good. But it may work. I'm not mechanical enough to figure out how to do that LOL.
I think a "gap filler" would be the easiest choice. You're talking buying two headlamps (even used they ain't cheap!) and busting them apart for something that may be permanently attached.
Cool thought though.

Pop. 531
Silverton is an old mining town parked in Southwest Colorado's San Juan Mountains, alongside the Animas River. Mining ended only a decade ago, and the town has held on to its Victorian charm: 19th-century red-brick buildings, white picket fences, log cabins, and an old train station make up the compact downtown grid.
The best way into town is a ride on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad, a historic, coal-fired, steam-powered train that runs straight through the San Juans (adult tickets from $79; www.durangotrain.com). Silverton is a gateway to epic hiking on some of the major fourteeners—Elous, Sunlight, and Windom—and mountain biking in the San Juans. Take the lift up Silverton Mountain, fat-tires in tow, for thrilling—and advanced level—downhills, or head there in the winter for challenging backcountry skiing and boarding (lift tickets from $49; www.silvertonmountain.com).
Power up for a long day in the mountains with an eggs-and-hash-browns breakfast at Brown Bear Café (+1 970 387 5630).
The Wyman Hotel & Inn is a historic Victorian B&B with a convenient downtown location (doubles from $95; www.thewyman.com).

Leyton Orient 0-1 Southend
- From the section Football
League Two side Southend United claimed a shock away win against Leyton Orient in the first leg of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy southern area final.
Ryan Leonard scored the winner when he flicked the ball into the net from Sean Clohessy's low right-wing cross.
The hosts had numerous chances but Shrimpers goalkeeper Paul Smith made a series of fine saves to deny Lee Cook, Dave Mooney and Shaun Batt.
Mooney also hit the bar in injury-time but Southend held on for the victory.
The Shrimpers now hold a one-goal advantage ahead of the second leg at Roots Hall in a fortnight's time and the winners will advance to the Wembley final on Sunday, 7 April.
League One Orient started brightly in front of their highest home crowd of the season of 5,359 and had the best chances of the first half.
However, Smith held on to a Cook free-kick, saved Mooney's close-range volley and parried two efforts from Batt, who was making his home debut after joining the O's on loan from Millwall last week.
Orient's misses proved costly as the Shrimpers, the lowest-ranked side left in the competition, took a 57th minute lead.
Michael Timlin released the overlapping Clohessy and his deflected cross fell to Leonard, who bundled the ball home at the near post from close range.
Southend's Kevan Hurst missed a chance to double the visitors' lead, shooting narrowly wide from the edge of the penalty area.
But Mooney should have levelled the game when he wasted two opportunities. He lifted the ball over the crossbar when he only had Smith to beat and then fired against the bar from close range late on.
However, Southend's victory was overshadowed by an injury to Timlin, who was carried off on a stretcher in the second half.
The eventual winners of this game will face either Coventry or Crewe at Wembley, with Crewe holding a 3-0 lead after the first leg of the northern final.
Southend United manager Paul Sturrock told BBC Essex:
"I'm gutted for him [Michael Timlin], it's a suspected broken leg. It does look bad.
"I'm really disappointed, the lad's been a stalwart for us. He has his good days and his bad days but he wears his heart on his sleeve. I'm just absolutely gutted, it's put a dampener on the night.
"It was a difficult game. We decided that we would play nice and tight and solid. The start of the second half was excellent, for about half an hour we got ourselves in the right areas.
"I hope it doesn't cause complacency - they've got some players that can hurt us."
