It sounds too contrived to work: a film that plays out the venerable switched-at-birth plotline against the backdrop of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
But, in The Other Son, French writer-director Lorraine Levy generally succeeds in creating a compelling, humanistic family drama, even if some viewers might reject the final note of optimism.
Joseph (Jules Sitruk) is an 18-year-old who lives in Tel Aviv with his French mother (Emmanuelle Devos), a doctor, and Israeli father (Pascal Elb), an army officer. A blood test reveals that he can't be the couple's biological son. During the chaos of the Gulf War, it turns out, he was switched with Yacine (played as a teen by Mehdi Dehbi), the newborn son of a Palestinian man (Khalifa Natour), an engineer forced to earn his living as a car mechanic, and his wife (Areen Omari).
Levy and her co-writer, Nathalie Saugeon, are less interested in harping on Middle Eastern politics than in examining how the boys and their families sort out the news. Awkward visits are paid across the border, while each family works internally to make sense of the news that they have been harboring a traditional "enemy."
The two fathers (and Joseph's biological older brother) have the hardest time dealing with the news. Not that the two young men aren't profoundly affected: Joseph is sadly informed by his rabbi that he isn't Jewish but is welcome to convert, and the Palestinian couple's older son is incensed to learn that his family has unwittingly been harboring a Jew. Still, the teenagers eventually seem to rise above it more quickly than the others.
Not all of The Other Son is totally convincing. We learn that Joseph is musically inclined, it turns out, just like his biological father, and Yacine has been studying in Paris on a pre-med track and following his mom's career track. There are other heavy-handed plot points, and some overwrought dialogue as well.
What counts most, though, is the film's conviction that decency is possible under extremely disturbing circumstance, which the actors clearly seem to understand. Levy gets expectedly strong work from the veteran Devos, and outstanding performances from Sitruk and Dehbi.
The young men make a convincing case that their characters, who might easily have succumbed to the devastating news, are well on their way to finding a future beyond division and despair.

The study of geography investigates the spatial variation in natural and human phenomena such as climate, landforms, vegetation, cultural diversity, and resource utilization. Geographers use this understanding to explain the character of regions; to ascertain the ways in which humans, historical and contemporary, have utilized and shaped the earth's surface; and to predict future patterns and interaction between humans and the natural environment. The Mission College program is particularly concerned (a) the Pacific Rim; (b) the non-industrial world; (c) the physical and cultural diversity of California, and their mutual interactions in an era of increasing mental limitations.

Adding an auxillary electric Fuel pump
I am sure this has been discussed many times before, but I am still fairly new to this and am having trouble finding old discussions. So please bear with me. I think its time to put in a back up electric fuel pump to kick on when I start to vapor lock (its this new fuel!) anybody have a suggestion of a specific brand and model number of electric that will give me the right flow while still letting the mechanical one do its thing? This is all going on a 56' 308. Thanks
I have a carter rotary vane pump on my Jimmy. Works great. I believe they don't need a return either (mine runs through the old pump with a return).
http://m.summitracing.com/parts/crt-p4070 (they sell a 6v one too)
It free flows pretty good, but I just have it run all the time. If you're looking for only priming there are cheaper pumps out there.Six in a row makes it GO! -
My 52 Hornet had one inline under the middle of the car when I got it. Gasline was cut and it was spliced in with rubber hose. Operated by a switch under the dash. I only use it to prime the carbs and overcome vapor lock.
Make sure the screen in the mechanical pump is clean. A dirty one will increase the vacuum and increase tendency of fuel to boil.
I think Walt's solution of a tank return is the best setup as a lot of cool fuel is running thru the pump all the time. -
I installed a Mr. Gasket electric pump right after the tank and hooked it to a toggle switch on dash to prime carbs before starting. Never had a problem with it fuel starvation with it in line. I onlt run it prior to starting though. Just make sure you get the one for carb engines, not high pressure fuel injection.
Rich -
Andrius, are you vapor locking? or fuel starving? They are related. For about the last 10 years I have been annoyed by the fuel starvation that would occur when the Arizona temps ran over 90 F. I have tried every possible option, including the "feedback line", all three designs of electric pumps with & without a separate fuel line for the mechanical vs the electric. I have a 53 Hornet 308 w/twin H bored .060 over ( a bit warmer engine temp). Last year I solved it. First I sent my AC (mech) to Then & Now for a rebuild placed enough gaskets on the flange to produce 5 psi ( I believe 5 gaskets in the stack). Pulled both carbs( WA-1) and put in Craig valves for the floats. Then added 5 Ford insulator gaskets under each carb ( 3 below the shield, 2 above it). Placed an AC Delco solenoid electric pump(6v) just below the seam of the gas tank in line. That is for priming, since I have never had to use the electric after the car is started, any more. Walts idea is good( feedback). Read his instructions entirely. My problem was the eraticly weak diaphram in the AC mech pump that started with 4psi and as the engine heated up, fell to 2.75 psi. Too low for that big 6 under load. Now you have some more options with the 12 volt. If you have drivability problems, and wish to use the EP more often than not, the rotary vein type is a good choice, but you may need to run a bypass line around it, if it will be inline. IMO,The little solenoid ( Airtex E 8012) is too small to run the car on its own, but ok as a booster. Do a fuel pump test, at idle and also while driving( need to run a fuel line into the front seat with the gauge . observe readings). The EP that you buy MUST be a free flow style,ie, fuel can be drawn through when it is not switched on, otherwise you will always need the EP on... that can be a fire hazzard. Not as simple as it appears. PM me if you care to. Ron
It is hard for me to get too concerned about the "fire hazard" from an electric fuel pump, especially since virtually every late car on the road does have a continuous operation electric pump running at 60-70 PSI. A pump designed with carburetors in mind (i.e. 5-6 PSI max pressure) doesn't pose nearly the hazard, assuming you're not relying on 60-year old rubber fuel hose.
I've completely eliminated my mechanical pump (although still in place), replaced my fuel line from tank to carbs, and run a continuous-operation rotary vein pump without separate switch (except, of course, the ignition, which I can just as quickly turn off in case of some emergency). Every British car built in the 50's and 60's had the same setup... electric pump switched only by the ignition. I have this similar setup on 6 of my vehicles and each has worked flawlessly with never a vapor lock issue, even in 110 degree Texas heat.
I've had good luck with the AirTex pumps, never had one fail yet, but do keep a spare in the garage just in case (much easier to swap out than a mechanical one!) -
To all this I wish to add , the electric fuel pump should be located as close to the tank as possible for it to perform properly. If you do have return lines they should be run under the car. I once saw some that were run into the passenger compartment. That is not safe.
I have a question DocHornet? if you eliminated your mechanical pump, how did you hook up your vacuum wipers, and the other line that goes from the pump to the carb, not the fuel line?
A note of caution with full time electric pumps .
make sure you remove or bypass the mechanical pump. A broken diaphram in the mechanical pump can lead to fuel contamination of your engine oil! Can your engine survive on a 50-50 mix?? Also in an accident where the ignition may not be turned off, fuel can be pumped through a leak caused by the accident. Usually into the engine compartment. The driver may not be thinking about a fuel leak! Most modern cars have a computer control on the electric pump that shuts it down after a few seconds of no oil pressure. Also many have switches that open upon impact and can be reset. -
Most electric fuel pump instructions suggest (strongly) to have a oil pressure switch in-line with the fuel pump. Engine stops - no fuel.Six in a row makes it GO!
Mine now vapor locks All the time when it is over 90 degrees. It has the 352 Packard v8. It came with the small factory 2 barrel as Packard did not offer the big Rochester carburator to Nash and Hudson. Packard was afraid the Nash and Hudson would out perform their cars, as they were lighter with the unibody. Found a 56 Packard 400 in a junkyard and used it's manifold and Rochester 4 barrel on the 56 Hudson. It runs great with that setup, and is much faster! But, noticed that the original stock 2 barrel has a return line to the gas tank. The Rochester does not. Burned up several electric fuel pumps. Actually, when the car was starting to vapor lock, the electric pumps really did not help much at all.
Is your electric pump(EP) in line and where is it mounted? What type of pump. Solenoid pumps are the only ones that let fuel pass when not running, but IMO not able to send enough volumn to the carb alone. That means the mech pump (MP) is still an intricate part of the fuel delivery. What are the MP( alone) pressure and suction readings at idle and while driving? An occasional clog in the pickup tube, hot metal lines( especially before the MP), Gas boiling in the carb due to heat resonating up from the manifold ( better insulating gaskets). There are other things, but I would start there. Carry ice water and old socks saturate the socks & stuff em around the carb base to cool off the carb and eliminate one possible cause. Are you still 6v? Oh! I forgot one thing, Is the gas in the tank formulated for winter. If so lose it and keep summer fuel in as much as possible. This time of year winter gas and a good hot May day is trouble.

This bivy sack is phenomenal. light, dry. Just Used it first time in snow at around 8000 ft, temps in single digits to teens. Some very light condensation inside on awakening but otherwise very dry and does add warmth. Came with a tube of seam sealer so I meticulously sealed all seams although that may be unnecessary. Im 6'1 got the long and have plenty of room in the bottom for boots and other necessary gear and although it is somewhat snug I could still move around when needed. Tie in point looks bomber but didn't need it. Overall impressed

I've used this bivy a few times now. I realize condensation is general problem, but has anyone had problems with water build up (from condensation) at the feet? This water build up tends to get my feet wet and I start losing temperature. Know of ways to prevent this kind of problem?

Yeah, I have that zipper as wide open as it can go. I have the hood as up as possible. On nights that aren't too cold, I even sleep with my head outside. And I still get wet down at the feet. Maybe my feet are just super juicy...
Drew Hecht
Member since
Jared, I honestly haven't had much moisture in mine. Certainly not enough to draw heat from my feet. That would certainly be a bummer. Perhaps you know of this trick already but have you tried the Nalgene water bottle in the bag trick? If not, this is what you do. Pour not quite boiling water in a Nalgene bottle and throw it in the foot of your bag about an hour before turning in. It works great! I know the thought of a leaky water bottle sounds a bit risky and when my backcountry skiing buddy promised me it would work I tried it. Amazing thing is - the bottle is still warm when you wake up. This hasn't failed me yet and I've done it about 1/2 dozen times when I was cold enough. Screw on the lid tight and test it and you should be fine. Maybe if your feet are just "super juicy" it will still ward off the suck-i-ness of cold feet and the misery of losing badly needed sleep.
Member since
Jared, this may sound strange, but try some neoprene socks and if that doesn't work, try a full on vapor barrier liner. The water bottle trick above won't work because that will just create more condensation by making you even hotter. The problem isn't a temperature problem, it is a condensation problem that then translates into a temperature problem. If you have a down bag, this will only get worse the more nights you camp. Hope this helps.
Almost completely happy.

Nice and light. Much more fun to carry then a tent. The pole that keeps the hood up is actually a thick wire that can be bent into all sorts of positions depending on the protection needed. Entry was not all that easy. I'm 6'1" @ 185lbs and with a NeoAir pad inside it was a task that will require some gettin used to. Keep in mind though the Neo is a large and does take up a good bit of space. Once inside space is not a problem. Just don't expect to have the full freedom of motion like one would have in a tent. Felt very comfortable and the bivy doesn't weigh down on you. No moisture at all. Not a drop. This would be 5 stars if entry was a lil better. I think my tents are goin to be seeing alot more closet time.

Hello all, it seems to me that for a bivy...
Member since
Hello all, it seems to me that for a bivy that weighs in under 2 pounds this has a fairly large advertised packed size. 6x13" isn't that much smaller than my kelty 2 person tent. Can anyone attest to this tent being more compressible, or is that size limited by the length of the wire in the hood? Also if anyone could comment on how easy this is to get in and out of, and what sort of sleep systems you set it up with, i.e. do you bring a sil tarp to cover the head area or pitch to put gear under or change under. My backpacking in the north cascades of Washington usually involves obscene amounts of rain, I'm just trying to stay dry.
Drew Hecht
Member since
It would be difficult to get this more compressable. The hoop in the hood is not a factor. I've had two of these. I will buy a third if I have to although I doubt it as it's pretty durable. (My brother took my first one.) To answer your first question it's not the easiest to get in and out of - it's not the hardest either. With a little practice the middle of the night wiz isn't any worse than getting out of a warm tent. The hoop keeps the fabric off your face and I like that. And it creates a vent - which I really like. I've never used any tarp to cover the head area as it's un-necessary - to me. I've actually sat in this and ate dinner. (The hoop helped that) I got the long to store my shizzle in when it rains or starts blow'n. I've logged WAAAAAY more time in this than my tent in the past ten years which is a testiment to the ease and weight of this bag. I've used this for winter alpine ascents, back-packing, climbing and even quite a few car camps. I love this thing. Oh, and I've not had a drop of moisture from the inside or out.
Jared Wood
Member since
That amazes me that people claim to not get any moisture...I get quite a bit! And I keep the zipper open. This is blowing my mind. From my point of view you'd definitely want a tarp or something if it's going to be raining or whatever (unless you have some other kind of shelter). Otherwise water will get in since you have to keep the zipper open (I can't imagine how much moisture would be inside if the zipper was closed). I personally take along a small tarp when I expect bad weather. But in my case it's usually just to aid in fast snow trenches in bad weather. So no rain so far, just snow (and not slushy snow). As far as the packed size goes, I hear you about your issue with the size. There are ways to compress it more, but the limiting factor is definitely the wire hoop. If it wasn't there, this thing would pack super small. But once again, it depends how you pack it as far as how compact it will be. And for the small opening, I think it's easy to get in and out.
Drew Hecht

In further response to your question about packability, I have recently begun to remove the delrin rod (hoop)and it does pack down quite a bit smaller. I just put the rod in my wand pocket on the side of my pack and carry it that way. This has two benifits. As I said, it allows you to pack it smaller but also helps keep the Delrin from retaining too much of a undesirable shape. It has been my experience that by packing the bag in the same fashion my rods arch flattens and is more difficult to bend back into a desirable shape when you're cold and tired and just don't want to mess with it. Delrin is a plastic that has memory so you can bend it, hold in that position and it stays. You can also straighten it which is how I like my rod so when I put it back in I get the desired arch and the fabric is kept off my face even with an improvised pillow.
Also, I just experienced my first bit of condensation on a recent Sierra trip but I had closed the zipper about 3/4 shut to keep out a cold blowing wind at around 13,000 feet. But, to me, the level of moisture was negligable (not appreciably wetting my down bag) Hope this helps.

How does this compare to the BD Winter Bivy?

This bag is waterproof (ToddTex and completely seam taped), and the Winter Bivy is not. The EPIC coating in the Winter Bivy is more breathable than Gore-Tex (or ToddTex I think), but not waterproof.Big Wall:Packed Weight- 1lb 12oz (805g)Packed Size- 6in x 12inArea- 15sqft (90in x 35in)Fabric- Canopy (ToddTex); Floor (PU Laminated)Winter:Packed Weight- 9.9oz (280g)Packed Size- 3in x 5inArea- 14sqft (85in x 35in)Fabric- Canopy (EPIC); Floor (EPIC)

I have spent some good time in many different bivies but none can compare to this one. Extremely breathable and totally waterproof. A very durable fabric and the tie-in points are an important feature when needed. Not too tight or too wide, just right. A minimalist bivy with some breathing room. Only complaint is not as durable as some other fabrics but will hold up to tons of abuse.

Pre-Arbitration/Auto-Renewal Players
An unsigned player under club control who does not yet qualify for salary arbitration ultimately has to either accept the club's offer or just not play.
A club (usually the Assistant GM) will negotiate with the player up to a point, but if the club and the player cannot agree on a deal by the first week of March, the club has the right to unilaterally dictate the player's salary and/or renew the player's contract (albeit for an amount not less than the MLB minimum salary, and not less than 80% of the player's previous season's salary and not less than 70% of the player's salary from two season's back). These players are the ones who have a "minor league split" salary in their contract, which the player is paid if he is sent to the minors. The "minor league split" salary must be at least 60% of the player's salary from the previous season.

The 24 hour Nürburgring race will be awesome, it's definitely the one I'm looking forward to the most. Choosing the car to use will be tricky though, the X2010 is off my list for sure. It's quick, but too unstable for long races around a track like the Nürburgring.

SBBG Docents
The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is supported by a dedicated and knowledgeable team of Docent Volunteers. The work of the Education Department is largely carried out by these experienced and enthusiastic volunteers who have embraced the vision and mission of the Garden, and are willing to share it with our visitors and community. Docents are represented on our Volunteer Council, and meet to exchange ideas and stories regularly. Some of the unique opportunities for Docents include receiving reduced prices on classes for continuing education, early class registration, and special field trips and lectures. The monthly Sage Remarks Newsletter keeps everyone informed and provides a monthly tour calendar. The Santa Barbara Botanic Garden is proud of their reputation for providing the most interesting and informative public tours in the area.
The Garden holds a short volunteer Docent training course at the end of the California Naturalist Training. The additional three classes trains volunteers to lead tours for both children and adults and to present outreach programs in the schools and community. Subjects include California plant communities, local fauna, history and geology of the Mission Canyon area and Native American uses of plants. Trainees are assigned veteran Docents as mentors for shadowing and support. New Docents are expected to lead Botanic Garden tours and/or school outreach programs for a minimum of 5 hours per month for at least two years.
Please contact Education Program Manager, or phone (805) 682-4726 ext. 111

We will fairly quickly reach the maximum number of panels that we can accommodate for advice though there should be plenty of space for observers.

Superior Massacre
Mirror, mirror on the wall, who's the fastest of them all? Myrkskog seems to be hoping you will answer with their name. The album is full of speed through and through, hence it only lasts about 30 minutes. I love my metal fast, but not when it's just mindless speed. Myrkskog contains some of the fastest musicians out there today, but that's all they're good at doing, is being fast. Maybe that's what they're aiming for, if so, good for them; but I demand a little something more from my music than mindless speed. Although there are a few decent grooves found throughout the recording, there doesn't seem to be anything to get excited about. The band is comprised of the basic four member set up. Sechtdamon is one of the fastest drummers I've heard. His double kicks are amazing, but he never really gets a chance to shine because that seems to be all he's doing throughout the entire albums is those double kicks. Guitarists Destructhor (also from Zyklon) and Savant M are also extremely fast when it comes to playing their instruments. Yet again I have the same qualm, that's all they really do is play as fast as they can. This makes for a very boring and repetitive endeavor when listening to the whole album. Bassist/vokillist Master V throws some pretty straightforward death growls at you throughout the album and just tends to add to the bland feel of the whole thing. Sorry that I once again could not obtain lyrics to this album, but I will have the dissection edited when I do find them. The production on this album sounds like Zyklon's World Ov Worms, yet not quite as good. The production at times does remind me ever so slightly of Hate Eternal's Conquering the Throne also. One thing I have to mention quick is most of the experiences I have had with Candlelight bands has shown they always have great drum production, really standout stuff and Myrkskog is no exception. Other then that the production is pretty average at best. When I try to look at this album as tracks by themselves or just pieces, it's quite enjoyable, although there aren't really any standout tracks. I could probably pop this disc in and skip around to a couple tracks, but that's all I could do. When I listen to this album as a whole, by the time I get to about the fifth or sixth track I feel like I've heard my fill and don't feel the need to continue on with the rest of the tracks. Also there's nothing really on here that's begging me to come back for more. Overall this is a very sub par release. Give it a whirl if you want, but don't say I didn't warn you of the repetitive nature found seeping out of every crack and crevice of the album.

NHS President Sarah Lossie said they will be doing a number of fundraisers throughout the night for a family and a group called United Cerebral Palsy."This event was actually inspired by a family: they have a daughter ... she's 12, and she's got Cerebral Palsy," said Lossie. "We've been working with them throughout this year, and we've been trying to benefit them in some way because they've been such an inspiration for us."One of their fundraisers will be a silent auction for a quilt."It's made out of lots of t-shirts from students at Chillicothe, and it looks pretty nice; there are some vintage t-shirts, too, which makes it unique and gives it some character as well."Lossie is also hoping everyone in attendance will wear green for a "green-out."

LETTER: Ebenezer Scrooge alive in Michigan
To the Telegram: What a Christmas gift Michigan received this holiday season from its legislature.
To the Telegram:
What a Christmas gift Michigan received this holiday season from its legislature.
What happened in Michigan on Dec. 12 is an example of a group of legislators wanting to bust unions and nothing more.
The so called right-to-work legislation was accomplished with no representation of the people that voted for a change in that state's government. To allow this kind of decision-making is a terrible excuse for democracy.
It is a shame that a bunch of politicians have to make a lame duck, life-changing and self-serving law such as this at a time when Michigan and the United States of America are on the road to recovery.
I hope my feelings reach those who are responsible for this gutless action. You are cowards and are not deserving of the positions the voters originally put you in. Shame on you.
I invite anyone of you to debate me on how a 17.5 percent union movement in Michigan is so frightening.
Unions have set the bar for over 100 years to create good paying jobs with benefits, including health care and a pension, allowing a worker to retire with dignity. How about the five-day work week, overtime pay for overtime work, prevailing wage, safety in the workplace and child labor laws to name a few benefits for workers in unions.
What a wonderful Christmas gift you have provided everyone in a selfish attempt to make things "better" in your state. Make sure to thank God for the wisdom he bestowed upon you this holiday season, but then, tell your family you blew it because you have no so-called Christmas decorations. God bless us all and God bless America.
Dan Olson,
business manager,
Laborers' Local 1091

Hooked - (Stacia Naquin)
Updated: 10/11/2013 - I'm SO CLOSE to being able to do a pull-up. So my trainer introduced something new into my training.
Thanksgiving shopping took a noticeable bite out of Black Friday's start to the holiday season, as the latest survey found retail sales fell slightly from last year.
Saturday's report from retail technology company ShopperTrak finds consumers spent $11.2 billion at stores across the U.S. That is down 1.8 percent from last year's total.
This year's Friday results may have been tempered by hundreds of thousands of shoppers hitting sales Thursday evening while still full of Thanksgiving dinner. Retailers including Sears, Target and Wal-Mart got their deals rolling as early as 8 p.m. on Turkey Day.
Meanwhile, IBM says online sales rose 17.4 percent on Thanksgiving and 20.7 percent on Black Friday, compared with 2011.

NicT's Trueno Notch (AE85)
Posted 02 March 2011 - 06:45 PM
Dirty little notchback i picked up in exchange for my 1uz Crown.
4age (bigport, factory 86 motor)
Coby headers (poo)
Niteparts 4a-W55 Bell
W55 Gearbox
Hilux Shortened Diff (factory sloppy LSD)
HKS Adjustable heignt/dampening suspension
TRD Rear springs
Monroe Hilux shocks
Facelift front bumper/TRD Lip Copy
Wheels are borrowed
Mean MEAAAAN little car. Absolutely in love. Took the sideskids off, repainted the front bumper black, repainted factory rear bumper which i intend to fit when the weather isnt so terrible.
Body is in pretty rough condition asthetically, but rust looks like its been repaired then repainted in por15.
Clutch is absolutely poked, but i deal with it.
So happy. Will have driving photos after 12th of march from hampton downs.
Posted 07 March 2011 - 08:21 PM
How i got the car
Money Shot
How she looks at the moment
Desperate to get this back in the car before saturday
Wheels i tried to fit but tires are too big they rub on the guards... 70mm bigger diametre then the wheel/tire combo that came off it. Sucks mega. Just need to stop being cheap and buy some R55's
Got a GZE flywheel from my mate. Super stoked. Got it machined. Waiting to get pressure plate and clutch plate then fit back to car.
Flywheel that came out was 200mm contact surface flywheel. that was slipping bad. I got this remachined and i was going to reuse but GZE came up and i think its a better option.
Also refitted factory rear bumper and found they who ever painted it didnt bother to paint under the factory bumper so its still silver..

Hampton downs skid pad.
One of the poor guys was doing gymkana at the end of the day with us and his front wheels bit in and he flipped his KP.
Posted 27 March 2011 - 08:55 PM
Will try get better photos when there is sunlight
Not as good as the works, but better then the Advans so a nice compromise to make my car look tidy.
Posted 28 March 2011 - 06:25 PM
Now need to replace the LCA, a service and buy some tires for the next track day. Oooo yea
Posted 05 June 2011 - 06:12 PM
Did some skids, got real wet, had an awesome time and towed a sweet as mx5 out of the gravel.
Had a blast, learnt a SHITLOAD. Blew my diff, understeered heaps, and realised my handbrake doesnt actually work.
But learnt to clutch kick and slide good. Stoked it rained at the end of the day as diff became a single spinner at lunchtime which made dry sliding unachivable.
To do list,
- Diff
- Swaybar
- 6kg/mm rear springs, 8kg/mm front springs
- Front caster
- Next drift day on
Was going to do engine upgrades but i have decided i dont need more power yet, still have more handling issues to sort.
Also bought microsquirt for future upgrades, may install and tune it over the next week or so.
Posted 14 June 2011 - 05:21 PM
some artwork i started.
Flipped centers, car needs more low now i have new Grid II 185/50/15's just a touch of stretch
Dreams are free, and so were these in exchange for a small wiring job
This wasnt free, but its damn good. Waiting on some high impedence injectors i can swap in and then ill start messing with the tune and get the car purring factory before i start making mods.
'My diff brings all the boys to the yard, damn right its bigger then yours'
Rebuilt Hilux, new clutch packs, high center spring rate, new shims, heres hoping shes nice and tight
actually had a nightmare last night that the diff in my car was actually a T eries, and i had bought this G series invein.
LCA that got owned same time as the guard by last owner.
Oooooold school HKS adjustables with 1 piece cast in stub axle. These would have cost moonbeams in the day. Lucky for me it takes KYB AE92 inserts. So it currently has 8 way dampening adustable ones.
TechnoSpirit Copy headers. I think these are made by wolf mufflers. Awesome headers had a set on my last car
My last engine, in my last AE, it was an animal with very little mods.
My old car, i miss it
So plan still sticks as last posted. Fit diff this weekend (if my broncitus lets up), oil change, lower, caster adjustment, wheel alignment then more skids in july!
After that, then its megasquirt, tune, fabricate quad adaptor, fit my techno tuning copy headers, then wait for more skid days.
Hopefully after that start saving for cams, smallport head, and maybe start collecting parts and fabricating 2" stainless exhaust.
Posted 18 August 2011 - 06:21 PM
Some flanges laser cut
Mean as race table.
That is all. More to come soon
Posted 28 August 2011 - 08:54 PM
Saw my mate Doug after work to give his car a look over to find a misfire. Took it for a drive and found no problems. Gutted for him. This was the second car in my long history of cars i have ever wired up. 3 1/2 years old and still going strong!
doing my shiz at the inlaws as they are in germany for 6 weeks. Stoked as. This is how she looked Saturday arvo
Bottom end is in awesome condition, freashly honed bores, and within factory tolerence piston slop (practically none) Turns over amazing. So go to this stage and reoil bores so they wouldnt rust out.
Slapped rocker covers on so dust/shit doesnt get in my smallport head i am dummying up
Intake manifold beginings
Tacced up and test fitted. Had to go for a straight manifold as my aftermarket clutch master is in the way and a lot lower then factory (barstard)
The offending clutch master
So one weekend down. Need to finish weld manifold (will do tomorrow night), then look at this exhaust manifold.
Posted 04 September 2011 - 06:25 PM
Removed lights so i can paint behind my bumper
Sorted fixing my exhaust with left over stainless.
Thinking twin pipe all the way to the back with smaller mufflers? Good or bad points to this?
Broke microswitch on welder, had to bust out the soldering iron to fix
mmm yea
Test fit
Also completely welded up my intake manifold, that took a couple house last night, with some minor hammer adjustment to make it straight again.
Will put up some more detailed pictures when the misses figures out how to use the Nikkon.
Posted 04 September 2011 - 07:16 PM
Posted 11 September 2011 - 11:43 AM
So here you go.
Stoked on my welds, getting better at tig welding the ole stainless
My sweet bobo-fet mask
New cam gears and socket mounted degree wheel.
Posted 15 September 2011 - 09:47 PM
Mean as book
Also finished mocking my exhaust. Need to mod headers, then when im sure they are going to be fine ill finish weld it.
Word to your mother
Posted 17 September 2011 - 03:57 PM
Waterpipe fail
These Photos Sucked so i deleted them
Ah well, chop chop weld weld
Posted 19 September 2011 - 10:14 PM
Some persuasion and i got these to fit the rear
Posted 25 September 2011 - 08:38 PM
Had to recut and remount exhaust due to some mods i made to the headers now put the exhaust in a different way.
Then spent all friday night and saturday day teaching myself how to do cam timing, taking the head on and off 3 times before finally assembling the engine. When to fit new cambelt and discovered its wrong. Good work BNT.
Was going to go check out some skid action at meremere but lucked out when the mighty stageae broke down. Had to spend a couple hours fixing that.
No photos cause its more of the same
Posted 01 October 2011 - 06:15 PM

Good afternoon -- about it.
Job thank you for.
The words and your friendship.
And your life of service.
Of the Vietnam War.
Distinguished guests.
And -- hot.
But you are here.
To honor your loved ones.
And Michelle.
And I -- could not be more honored.
To be here with you.
It -- speaks -- complexity.
Of America's time in Vietnam that.
Even now.
Cannot agree on precisely when.
The war began.
American advisors have served there and died there.
As early as the mid fifties.
Major combat operations will not begin until.
The mid sixties.
But if any year.
In between illustrated the changing nature of our involvement.
It was 1962.
It was January.
And so I got.
Or army pilots.
Strapped on their helmets.
And border -- helicopters.
They lifted off.
Raced over treetops carrying south Vietnamese troops.
It was a single rated against an enemy strongholds.
Just a few miles into the jungle.
But it was one of America's first major operations.
In that far away land.
Fifty years later.
We come to this -- -- this sacred place.
To remember.
We can step towards.
Reach out.
Such -- name.
Today is Memorial Day when we were call all those who gave everything.
In the darkness of war.
So we could stand here in the glory of sprint.
And today begins the fiftieth.
Of our war in Vietnam.
We honor each.
Of those names etched in stone.
American patriots.
We salute all.
Who -- -- them.
We stand with the families.
Who love them still.
For years.
You've come here.
To be -- them once more.
And in the simple things -- left behind.
They're offering us.
Your mementos or gifts.
We get a glimpse.
Of the lives they let.
The blanket that covered him as a baby.
The baseball bat.
He swung as a board.
Wedding ring.
The photo of the grandchild.
He never met.
-- -- -- -- -- -- The medals she earned.
Still -- And of course some of the things lecture -- special meaning and known only to the veterans.
Can of -- A packet of Eminem's.
The container of spam.
The whole field ration.
Still good.
Still awful.
It's here we feel the depth of your sacrifice.
And here we see a piece of our larger American story.
Our founders in their genius gave us a test.
They set out to make.
A more perfect union.
And so it falls.
To every generation material network.
To keep moving forward.
To overcome.
Sometimes painful past.
Keep striving for our ideals.
And one of the most.
Painful chapters of our history was Vietnam.
Most particularly how we.
Treated our troops.
Who serve there.
You often blamed for -- and start.
When you should have been commended.
Who's serving your country.
Would ballot.
You're sometimes blamed for misdeeds of -- When the honorable service of the many should have been praised.
You came home and sometimes were denigrated.
When you should've been celebrated.
It was a national shame.
The disgrace.
That should never happen.
That's why here today.
We resolved.
That it will not happen again.
-- -- central part of this fiftieth anniversary will be to tell your story as it should have been told all along.
Another chance to set.
The record straight.
That's one more way we keep perfecting our union.
Setting the record straight and starts to back.
Because history will honor your service.
Your name's will join a story of service that stretches back two centuries.
Let us tell the story of a generation of service members.
Every color every create rich poor officer and enlisted.
Who -- would just as much patriotism and honor.
As -- before you.
-- never forget.
But most of those who served in Vietnam did so by choice.
So -- did you volunteer.
Your country it was a war and you said send me.
That includes all women in Vietnam every one of your volunteer.
Those were drafted -- too.
And carried their burden.
-- You did your duty.
You persevered through some of the most brutal conditions ever faced.
By Americans and -- The suffocating heat.
Drenching monsoon rains.
An enemy that come out of nowhere that is just as quickly.
So most intense urban combat in history and battles for a single pill.
The -- raged for weeks.
Let it be said in -- hell holes like prior.
And the -- and Hanoi Hilton.
Our Vietnam POW's been simply -- you wrote some of the most extraordinary stories of bravery and integrity and annals of military history.
As -- nation.
We've long celebrated the courage of our forces at Normandy.
And Iwo jima.
Pusan perimeter.
And heartbreak ridge.
So let -- also speak -- your courage.
-- in case son.
-- -- -- -- Remember hill to rolling thunder.
All too often it's forgotten that you our troops in Vietnam one.
Every major battle that you fought in.
When you came home I know many of you put your medals away.
Talk primitive -- or box in the closet.
You went on what their lives started families.
Pursue careers.
-- and talk too much about your service.
Consequence this nation is not always fully appreciated.
The chapter.
But your lives -- came next.
Let -- also tell the story of a generation that came home and how even though some Americans turned their back on you.
You never turned your back on America.
By generations before you took off.
The uniform but.
You never stopped serving.
The game teachers and police officers and nurses.
Ball we count on every single -- -- came up to the Norris.
-- competence and pioneering industries that changed the world.
You -- -- and public servants from.
Town all -- Capitol Hill lifting up our communities.
Our states.
Our nation.
You reminded us what it was like to serve.
What it meant to serve.
Those of you who stayed in uniform you rolls through the ranks.
Became leaders and every service.
Learn from your experience in Vietnam and rebuild our military into the -- -- of the world has ever known.
And lets you remember.
All those Vietnam veterans who came back and serve again.
In the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
You did not stop -- Even if you succeeded in all these endeavors.
You did something more.
Maybe the most important thing you did.
You looked after each other.
When your government -- live up to its responsibilities you spoke out.
Fighting for the care benefits you would turn them over time transforming -- the VA.
And of course one of these Vietnam veterans is now our outstanding secretary of veterans affairs friction exactly.
You looked after one another.
He cared for one another.
These people were always talking about PT SB at the time you understood it.
And you're there for each other.
Just as importantly you can just take -- your own.
You cared for those that follow.
You made -- -- mission to make sure today's troops get the respect and support.
That all too often you did not receive.
Because -- you.
Because our Vietnam veterans led the charge.
The post nine elevenths GI bill was helping hundreds of thousands of today's veterans go to college and pursue their careers.
Because -- you because you don't let us forget.
And our airports are returning troops get off the airplane.
And you were there to shake their hands.
Because have you across America community's -- welcome home our forces from Iraq.
And what our troops.
Returned from Afghanistan.
America will give this entire 9/11 generation welcome home they deserve that happen in part because you do.
This is the story.
About Vietnam service members.
The story -- -- needs to be told.
This is what this fiftieth anniversary is all about.
It's another opportunity to say to -- Vietnam veterans.
What we should have been saying from the beginning.
You did your job.
He served -- -- You made us proud.
He came home and you.
Helps build the America.
That we love and that we cherish.
So here today -- must be said.
You have earned your place among the greatest generations.
At this time I would ask all our Vietnam veterans.
Those -- you can stand please stand.
All those already spending raise your hands.
As we save those simple words which always.
Read our troops when they come home.
From here on out welcome home.
Welcome home.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- Welcome home.
There were calling on all the men.
Did you join this up.
Everybody can do something.
Five decades removed from a time of division among Americans this anniversary can.
Reminders of what we share as Americans.
That includes honoring our Vietnam veterans -- never forgetting the lessons of that war.
Let us resolve that when America sends our sons and daughters in -- harm's way we will always give them make clear mission.
-- always give them a sound strategy.
We will give them the equipment they need to get the job done we will have their backs.
We will resolve the leaders will be candid about the risks and about progress.
And have a plan to bring our troops home with honor.
Let us resolve -- never forget the cost of war.
Including the terrible loss of innocent civilians than a -- Vietnam but at all -- We know the -- sacrifice and service is the very definition of glory.
-- -- Does not glorious we -- war.
What we -- we've.
We do sort of protect ourselves because is necessary.
Let's resolve that in our democracy we can debate and disagree.
Even in a time a war but let us never -- patriotism as a political sword.
Patriots can support a war patrons -- oppose a war.
And whatever our view but I've always stand united in support of our troops who we placed in harm's way.
Active our solemn obligation.
Let's resolve to take care of our veterans as well they've taken care of us.
I just tall.
But actions.
Not just the first.
Five years after -- war but.
First five decades.
-- Vietnam veterans this means the disability benefits.
Or diseases.
Connected Agent Orange.
It means job opportunities and mental health care.
To help -- stand tall again.
Means ending the tragedy of veterans -- -- was -- that every veteran who has fought for America has.
-- hold it on America you should up the fight for a roof over your head when you -- on behalf.
For the country that you love.
When an American does not come back.
Including me.
Americans still missing from the Vietnam War.
Let us resolve to do everything in our power to bring them home.
This is our solemn promise.
The mothers -- Sarah Shane who joined us today it's 93 years old who have I've -- her son.

Missing in action for 42 years.

The Fayetteville Arkansas.
43 years after he went missing.
We can announce that army captain -- -- The third is coming home.
And you'll finally rest in peace.
You know some -- this war era a star on our country.
But here's what I sent.
As -- -- -- the tissue around it.
Becomes tough.
Become stronger than before.
The -- us finally.
We might begin to see the true legacy.
Of Vietnam.
Because of Vietnam and our veterans.
Not -- American power smarter.
We honor our military more.
We take care of our veterans better.
Because of the hard lessons of Vietnam because the view.
America is stronger than -- -- And finally on this anniversary.
In all the -- to call.
Let us remember what binds us.
As one people.
Is important for all of us -- you bought in the Vietnam.
War fought against.
What we were too young to be shaped by that.
It is important that our children.
Understand the sacrifices that were made by our troops in Vietnam.
But -- for them this is more than just name in the history books.
It's important we know the last.
Of a gifted ones left that this memorial.
It was towards the end of the day and most of the tourists and visitors have departed.
And there was.
A football moment.
Why -- White Stripes bitterest man.
And with them was a handwritten note.
It was from a young -- still high school.
Reminded us was more than two decades after Vietnam that high school student.
Was born years after the war guardian -- But -- -- handwritten note he captured the reverence.
The bonds between generations to bring us here today.
The letter began.
-- Vietnam veterans.
-- -- things for me.
To you.
That I think you should head.
He explained there was -- -- but -- midget football.
And his wrist band from -- senior year.
So today I want to close with the word zero.
In these two pieces of equipment I was allowed to make mistakes.
Correct them.
-- And mature as a person.
However that was a my battlefield.
Didn't get the chance to do that on your battlefield.
Some -- you were forced to grow too fast.
All of you -- too soon.
We do -- many things in combo.
We both have -- Heart and determination.
I'm just sorry you guys have learned those qualities too fast.
That is why I'm giving.
You what I grew up -- You are true heroes.
And you'll never be forgotten.
From high school kid.
Born decades after.
The end of the war.
And that captures the spirit that this entire country.
Should embrace.
Families of the Vietnam War.
An old wounds of war are slowly -- You know that better than most.
But today we take another step.
The task of telling your story continues.
The work of perfecting our union goes all.
And decades from now.
I hope another young America will visit this place.
And reach out.
And touch -- name.
And shall learn the story of service members people -- never met.
Who fought a war she never -- And in that moment of understanding.
Of gratitude.
And -- -- Your legacy willing to.
-- you were all true heroes.
