Loading... The Drop (edition 2011)by Michael Connelly
Work detailsThe Drop by Michael Connelly
None. Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Harry is investigating an apparent suicide of the son of a city commissioner as he also tracks down the killer in a cold case from 20 years ago. Good action, fast read. Harry Bosch works two cases at once: one with "high jingle" and the other just plain weird. A quick and easy read/listen, this was a fun book. I have found another series to read. Not that I needed any more. This book continues with LAPD Harry Bosch. In this book he gets 2 new cases. One that is a cold case and one is a new case of a possible suicide. This is the first book I decided to read in the series because it was available on overdrive. I couldn't stop listening to the book. A compelling book. I liked this classic Connelly as I have enjoyed most of the Hieronymous Bosch detective series. But...read on for a few caveats. The title is a play on multiple plot themes: the suicide of the son of Bosch's earlier nemesis who now sits on the city Council and has become a thorn in the side of the police department; Bosch's ability to continue work as a detective past the normal retirement sequence (called the "drop); and the budding relationship Harry's starts with a Hannah, a psychologist working in a half-way house for sexual predators. This relationship, BTW, seems woefully unnecessary to the rest of the story(ies) and appears to be there for the sole purpose of some Connelly "preaching" -- I use the word advisedly -- with regard to how society treats sexual predators and the roots of evil and Harry seems to do a flip-flop-flip on the issue depending on whether he wants to have Hannah in bed or not. Connelly likes to show off his knowledge of LAPD police procedure and buildings, which is OK, it brings some verisimilitude to the book, but at times feels like overkill. There's also a tension between getting the bad guys and doing things by the rules. This is always something the bugs the hell out of me. Many police detective stories rely on the heroes breaking the rules in order to get the bad guys as if they couldn't without doing so. It's the we're-righteous-so-it's-OK syndrome. [spoiler coming] After the suicide/murder investigation has been resolved and Harry and his partner, David, have returned to his original cold case, they finally track down the father of the guy they think is the perp in an old rape case. Bosch cleverly realizes the guy is not the father but the son. Then Bosch proceeds to coerce a confession out of the guy and does an illegal search of the next door apartment where the guy says all his trophies are stored. This, while they are preparing a search warrant (he jumped the warrant) to look for evidence they already know is there and would be totally tainted if the coerced confession were revealed. This is followed by a sanctimonious lecture on how important it is to follow the rules in order top make sure the guy doesn't get off on a Fourth Amendment violation. The fact is, Bosch has just committed a plethora of legal errors quite willingly and totally unnecessarily. Once they had the information about the son's impersonation of the father they had more than enough information to get a proper warrant (they can submit requests wirelessly and it would have taken but a few minutes) and search the adjoining condo where all the incriminating evidence was stored, thus eliminating the risk of a tainted prosecution. Now, if that's the way the LAPD really operates, it's abhorrent and breeds a sense of distrust and dismissal of the very rules the police are enjoined to enforce.
No readers of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch novels doubts Bosch's superiority as an LAPD homicide investigator. Where we've questioned Bosch over the years has been in the rest of his life roles. As a father, husband, friend and boyfriend, he has frequently revealed himself as a bust in the previous 14 Bosch books. But that perception changes with the new book. In The Drop, Bosch emerges as a freshly mature fellow. It's his 15-year-old daughter who seems to have made the difference (though some might say of Bosch, who is approaching 60, what took him so long to grow up?). Maddie moved in with Bosch two years ago after her mother was killed in Nine Dragons (2009). Bosch has turned into an alert and nervous father, constantly on the phone to his daughter. For her part, the kid is a gem. She's far more technologically adept than her father and helps him past tricky computer problems. Her influence works further on him in ways she might not suspect; it's her mere presence that keeps Bosch from drinking at home and influences him to settle for a glass or two of wine everywhere else. At LA's new Police Administration Building, Bosch works with the unit handling cold cases, and as The Drop opens, he and his partner are assigned to a 1989 rape-murder case that comes to life with a curious new clue. Ordinarily, this case, with much promise of twists and turns to come, would be enough to fill a satisfying Bosch book. But, still in the opening pages of the new novel, Bosch gets orders from the chief of police to add a second, non-cold case to his list. The case's crime, as hot as the day's headlines, involves a prominent LA businessman who either jumped or was shoved from the Chateau Marmont's penthouse. Worse news for Bosch is that the deceased's father is Bosch's mortal enemy, former LAPD deputy chief Irvin Irving. The situation places Harry in the awkward middle of a piece of "high jingo," his phrase for dirty police politics. Moving through this intense double story, Michael Connelly is at the top of his game. So is Bosch. So, for that matter, is Maddie.

Wikipedia in EnglishNone Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0316069418, Hardcover)Amazon Best Books of the Month, December 2011: With his retirement looming, LAPD's Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch takes on two seemingly unrelated cases. The first is a botched DNA test from a 1989 rape and murder, which has been pinned on a convicted rapist who was only eight years old at the time of the crime. Harry's pursuit of that case is interrupted by the apparent suicide of a councilman's son. A former police chief and no fan of Harry's, the councilman insists that Harry investigate his son's death. In pursuit of the truth, and an elusive killer, Bosch and his partner uncover secrets and a political conspiracy deep within the police department. Connelly's aging hero is a flawed, haunted, and unforgettable character; his creator is a master craftsman. --Neal Thompson(retrieved from Amazon Mon, 30 Sep 2013 14:00:03 -0400) Detective Harry Bosch investigates a cold case and the murder of a city councilman's son. The cases are unrelated but they twist around each other like the double helix of a DNA strand. One leads to the discovery of a killer operating in the city for as many as three decades; the other to a deep political conspiracy that reached back into the dark history of the police department.… (more) (summary from another edition) |

Fumare Cigar Lounge, California
A top-down cigar day in Los Gatos and San Jose.
Alejandro Benes
Posted: January 8, 2008
The coldest I've ever been -- with apologies to Mark Twain -- was in San Francisco on a clear summer night while watching the baseball Giants play in Candlestick Park in 1981. That indelibly marked me so that when I would visit Northern California and need to rent a car to drive to Napa or Sonoma, for example, I would never ask for a convertible or try to get an upgrade. This past fall, that all changed.
I was "on assignment," as they say, and I had to visit Silicon Valley to check out a little cigar store I'd heard about in Los Gatos, just south of San Jose. In my rented ragtop, my wife and I cruised down the interstate from Oakland International with the top down. We stopped in Pleasanton for breakfast and a marching band competition, then boogied south, wind in our hair.
Los Gatos is a precious little town, made so by all the usual high-end, expensive stores you'll find in the better malls in America. In Los Gatos, though, they line the streets along with the Lamborghini, Bentley, Ferrari and Rolls dealerships and maybe the best thrift store I've ever been dragged into. When the clock struck noon, I bolted and made my way just up the hill to Fumare.
Fumare, which has been there 13 years, is housed in what the fading paint in front of the building indicates used to be the Los Gatos Soda Works, where the local Archies and Jugheads would go after school in the 1950s to hang out and have a malted beverage. Now there's a patio with a couple of tables outside. I opened the door and was greeted by a gentleman in his 70s who told me his name is "Joe, Crazy Joe." After some pleasantries and Joe's spot-on impression of Jimmy Durante, I perused the wall-and-a-half of cigars inside the front room. There was an excellent selection, all the usual, highly-rated labels, including an Arturo Fuente Don Carlos II, the stick I chose. I was planning to walk around Los Gatos and enjoy the cigar, but if I wanted to stay, I would have been very comfortable in Fumare's lounge.
The reason you can smoke at Fumare, in California, is that it's a tobacco store and a private lounge. You need to be a member to smoke here, but memberships are very reasonable, including daily memberships for $10. It's all very aficionado-friendly.
Fumare has a second location, in San Jose near the sports arena where the Sharks play hockey. You can smoke on the patio there. I was not going to hang out at either on this beautiful, warm autumn day when I had a convertible, a great cigar and an hour-long drive to a party in Berkeley.
I lit up and put the top down. We were cruising through Los Gatos and were not tempted to stop. The cigar was very nice and remained so until I hit about 60 mph. Then the wind kicked up and I was not controlling the ash very well. It was getting on my shirt, but I didn't care. Dude, the top was down and I was going fast. Of course, I'm not going to recommend that this is the best way to enjoy a great cigar. But it's not all that bad either.
Fumare was bought nearly two years ago by Adam Whitmyer, his brother and a friend. They're looking into getting a liquor license. Adam's day job is selling luxury cars in Silicon Valley. If a customer buys a Bentley, he says, he'll treat them to a box of cigars from Fumare.
"Usually it's a box of something we have a lot of, but if they spend $400,000 with me and they ask for a specific cigar, I'll try to make that happen," Adam said. Then he asked if I was interested in a Bentley.

The year is 2079…And in this so-called SciFi futuristic thriller, entitled 'Lockout', 500 of the most violent criminals are kept in a state of suspended animation on a space station orbiting above earth. This high tech penitentiary is known as MS One.
I say so-called, because the sleeping prisoners are the only aspect of this film that can be deemed, futuristic or even, scifi.
The film was written (along with Luc Besson) and directed by James Mather and Stephen St. Leger who I guess are famous for a 15 minute short called 'Prey Alone'.
Anyway, Guy Pearce plays Agent Snow, who has been set up for a crime he didn't commit. He's about to be sent off to MS One for the 'big sleep', when as fate or the movie gods would have it, there's a glitch in the prison's computer system and viola…the bad guys wake up and you guessed it…all hell breaks loose…
To make matters worse for the powers in charge, the President's daughter, Emilie (Maggie Grace) just happens to be visiting the prison to investigate rumors that long periods of artifical sleep can make these bad guys even more psycho than they already are.
Back to Agent Snow. He gets an offer he can't refuse…'The Big Sleep' or rescue Emilie before the prisoners find out who she is. And well, you can imagine the rest.
And here lies my basic problem/problems with the film.
Besides a scenerio I've seen thousands of times…over the top psychos with lots of tattoos, a damsel in distress and an anti-hero going against all odds to rescue the girl, the main character, Agent Snow, spends so much time cracking one joke after another that I wanted to throw my shoe at him. I get it…This dude doesn't do intimacy, but does he have to be so annoyingly glib…Apparently the writers think he does.
Lastly, this film could have taken place in any prison…in any part of the world…with the exact same script. No one had to travel to space to bring us a bad version of…'Die Hard'.
On a positive note, I did enjoy the first 40 minutes of the film and for that reason, I gave 'Lockout' 2 1/2 bagels out of 5. Check out our video to see John's bagel rating and hear his thoughts.
'Lockout' opens in theatres Friday April 13, 2012. Wait for the DVD.

Our only complain was the room we've got, which was immediately changed into another one. As the room was used by smokers. We couldn't stay in there because of the terrible smell of cigarettes. Friendly staff, and extra pillows were no problem. For a low cost Hotel its surpisingly good and comfortable.

Hudson's hit the surf scene
Does this bring back any memories for anyone. This was at the home where I picked up my 54 Hudson. Kinda reminded me of when I was in South Carolina in 1967 and they were filming a movie with Sharon Tate. Can anyone give me a year on the car under the lemon tree and make, year, ect. on the California Long Board?
Brownie -
So, no one knows the year of this Hudson? Or no one is talking?Brownie
I think it's a 46.
I think it's a 46.
the car is somewhere between '40-'47 I guess, can't realy tell for sure. -
Brownie when I was there to pick up my 47' I checked that cars vin too out of curiousity. It started with 171.
So my guess is... It is a 1947 Hudson Super Six SedanChristopher

Thanks, anyone want to take a guess on the longboard?Brownie
The longboard is a pretty standard shape from the mid 60's era. Bunger, Bing, Hanson, gregg noll, webber surfboards, G&S all had similar shapes just to name a few. Or it could be a backyard shape... any logos, names, or dimensions?
The fin makes me think it is early to mid 60's.
No such luck, However, since I have had G&S before I ground down the area just below the front of the fin to look for a SN (G&S did this) . I found a number and matched it with the G&S folks and it matches the number of an early production G&S board most likely from their third year of production. (early 60's.)Brownie
Awesome... that log is a real gem as there is huge market... clean her up and make her a wall hanger, heck... don't do that. Ride it!

I would rate so low people are making home buying a low priority so what I -- in -- When rates could get even -- the very least not budge anytime -- so there's no rush to buy my next guest says.
Fears of falling prices not falling rates are doing more.
Former White House chief economic advisor to Google's thing -- -- -- -- say again what's keeping housing pathetic.
I mean the main thing scheme housing but that again that we got five million vacant homes we got a no way over build during the bubble.
And we're just working through that we got a lot household formation.
Hasn't been very high even though the population went up you still got people live -- kind -- with their parents.
So that's the main thing then the second thing is.
If you look at the affordability measures they've basically never been better prices are low interest rates are low.
Rents are actually if you if you went to read the rent is high so that comparison of renting -- -- -- have none and -- observation that something.
But that's not helping and I think that's not helping because.
You still got -- two things you still got dangers.
And fears.
That prices might go down.
And two.

The private mortgage insurance is tough to get say you gotta have a big down payment.
And they only want people with the very very good credit so I think those are Y housing east.
In a bid well I had the outs that you had an element of -- an -- housing why is that going to talk about this the overhang of supply there's a lot of it.
And a lot of very Smart economists say you know.
That's a ten year fifteen year you know.
And and we're we're we've got a ways to go by that measure -- Hi do think we have a ways to go -- CEO also ways to fifteen years though all right so we're about 56 years.

Maybe around five -- average so that would argue another -- at a minimum.
Do you -- that.
Now -- not necessarily as I say the critical thing that's gonna determine that.
Relates to what how quickly are people forming new households -- now so.
If you saw Fannie and Freddie started converting some of the single family.
Or other owned housing into rentals of the stock that that empty houses that they are holding.
That would certainly help if you saw the economy started to turn up -- young people we're getting employed.
And moving out of their -- -- basement that would help.
By the way and I don't they don't have to be an -- based on they could still be general room -- they can be in the garage or I don't know where they are gonna want to -- -- -- their -- houses but I'm ready to get psychological soups.

The Key Peninsula Fire District will hire half the number of additional firefighters that it pledged to voters before they approved a tax measure this fall to bolster the district's deficient emergency response.
Calling the situation "unfortunate," Fire Chief Tom Lique last week said he went to elected fire commissioners a week after the November general election and presented them a draft 2013 budget with a $200,000 shortfall – even with the new tax revenue added.
"The last thing we want to do is make it look like we're not being truthful to the voters," Lique told The News Tribune.
"If everything had gone perfect, (eight new firefighters) would have been the goal," he added. "Unfortunately, it just didn't play out that way."
Even so, he expressed confidence that the district can improve response times. It still plans to staff a third fire station this summer, although it will fall short of its goal to operate all three stations around-the-clock with paid firefighters; it will continue to rely on volunteers at night to respond to 911 calls.
The fire district serves 17,000 people spread over 65 square miles, from the Purdy Spit all the way to the south end of the peninsula. It has 22 emergency responders on staff trained to fight fires and treat non-life-threatening injuries.
Lique was aggressive in publicizing his need for more professional firefighters this year. He sent out three press releases in a three-week period last spring, noting delays in his crews' responses to significant fires, including at the historic Glencove Hotel. The News Tribune and Seattle television stations ran stories about the district's plight.
The tax measure's ballot statement noted approval "will allow the district to increase staffing by adding approximately eight responders." Lique repeated that commitment in the district's October newsletter.
Voters answered the call, approving the levy with 66 percent of the vote; it required a 60 percent "supermajority" to pass.
The measure is expected to raise $752,000 next year. It increases property taxes between 44 cents and 49 cents per $1,000 of assessed value for the next four years. That's at least an extra $88 a year for the owner of a property assessed at $200,000.
But the district's best hopes turned out to be off the mark. It expects to receive less tax revenue in 2013 due to declining property values and an increase in the number of owners not paying their taxes, Lique said. The district's firefighters are owed raises next year, costing another $70,000, according to budget meeting records.
The district also needed to make room for the return of an employee who retired after suffering a back injury in 2007. The firefighter had a medical procedure last year that allowed him to return to work, and state law required the district to bring him back, the fire chief said. His wages and benefits will cost the district $110,000 a year.
"It was definitely a shock," Lique said of the employee's return.
If the November levy had failed, the district would have had to lay off three of its current firefighters to balance the 2013 budget.
As it stands, the district will be able to gradually make new hires. Lique said he plans to hire two new firefighters this summer and another two by May 2014.
Lique said he and fire commissioners have discussed foregoing the revenue from the levy in 2014 if they don't see improvement in emergency response in the coming year.
Walt White, 54, has lived on the peninsula for more than 30 years. He said he's routinely voted against tax measures because he felt the fire district was poorly managed.
White said he reluctantly voted for this levy because he agrees the district needs more personnel. He has an emergency scanner in his house and often hears delays in response by district firefighters or calls to neighboring districts for backup help.
He said he's frustrated the district is backing out of its commitment to voters.
"It's left us with a really bad taste in our mouths out here," White said.
Key Peninsula Fire Commissioner Keith Davies also said he was disappointed in the funding shortfall, but he stressed the district wasn't trying to deceive voters.
A Gig Harbor firefighter, Davies responds to Key Peninsula when it doesn't have firefighters available to respond to a call, so he's aware of the district's staffing issues on two fronts.
"The board's objective is to do the best we can do for the community," he said. "Staffing is a priority. Unfortunately, the economy isn't being staffing-friendly."
Davies said he had full confidence in how Lique handled the matter, saying "he doesn't set the (assessed values for property)."
Davies said the board learned shortly before the election about the drop in tax revenue and didn't have time to get the message out to voters that fewer firefighters would be hired.
In hindsight, he said the district should have been leery about using hard numbers in the ballot materials and will avoid doing so in the future.

I wear Bowling Green infrequently on special occasions. It's not over-powering and is well received as a attractive fragrance for men.
August 23, 2013
Written by Tim Rogers
Bowling green is unique and will cause people to ask what you are wearing...and because you don't see it in the stores, not many know about it. Spread the word, I am wearing bowling green!

Down East 2013 ©
Photographs Courtesy Maine Women Writers Collection, University of New England, Portland, Maine.
May Sarton. Edna St. Vincent Millay. Anne Hazlewood-Brady. The eyes of these authors stare back from black and white photos lining the entrance to the Maine Women Writers Collection. The two-thousand square-foot center, tucked into a wing of the University of New England Abplanalp Library off Stevens Avenue in Portland, houses close to 7,700 books and 500 linear feet of manuscripts. It is a living, breathing homage to the women on the wall and to all the women writers, past and present, from the Pine Tree State.
Inside resides an amalgamation of artifacts, pictures, typewriters, letters, journals, artwork, memorabilia, and, of course, books, all cataloging the experiences of centuries of Maine women: Some famous, some unknown; some living, some long deceased; some Maine residents, some with strong ties to the state. There is the expected, such as the definitive Sarah Orne Jewett collection, along with the more unexpected. A large compilation of writings by Donna Loring, a Vietnam veteran turned Penobscot Indian representative in Augusta, and the work of Perdita Huston, a world-savvy journalist and women's rights activist, are just two examples. In addition to formal collections, anonymous diaries, notes from women's organizations, correspondences, and, recently added, cookbooks round out the literature to be found and studied here.
Grace Dow and Dorothy Healy, two educators at what was then called Westbrook College, founded the collection in 1959. The pair felt that the role of women in Maine's literary landscape needed to be documented, preserved, and made accessible both to scholars, other writers, and the public. Fifty years later, the work of nearly five hundred women are represented here. The mission remains "to document the literary history of Maine's women," says curator Cally Gurley.
"We start with Maine's first novelist, Sally Sayward Barrell Keating Wood, otherwise known as Madam Wood, who was writing and publishing at the time Maine became a state," says Gurley. From Wood, "we go all the way through history and into the future. We are always looking for emerging writers."
Some of those writers, Gurley hopes, will be inspired at the center itself, which offers creative writing classes to the public, along with exhibitions, lectures, and research consultations by appointment. The six-room facility serves as a place for writers to soak in the palpable inspiration of the centuries of literary history stored on the shelves. "You could go somewhere and just start writing," says Gurley. "You could write at home. Or you could be in a place where that endeavor permeates the whole setting."
To quote Sarah Orne Jewett: "The thing that teases the mind over and over for years, and at last gets itself put down rightly on paper — whether little or great, it belongs to Literature." So, too, do the words — whether little or great, published or private — of Maine's women that are part of this enduring collection.

Keith was born in 1938 and went to school in Ryhope. He began his apprenticeship at Doxford's in 1954 and moved to Palmers Hebburn in 1958. Keith spent seven years at sea as a marine engineer before he returned to work in the Doxford's Service Department in 1970.
Keith was interviewed by Carl Greenwood on 7 December 2005. The interview took place at Beamish Regional Resource Centre and lasted 22 minutes and 43 seconds.
The Doxford Engine Friends Association
"Well, its, it was started, what, about three years ago now"
Well, its, it was started, what, about three years ago now and Maurice Clyde who runs it approached me and said would I like to become a member and I said, yes, definitely. The main thing is weve got this engine at Beamish Museum in the stores which was one of the last engines to be built in the Doxford engine works and its more or less just making sure that it doesnt deteriorate any worse than it is. And its, you know, quite a nice social thing to have- it keeps my hand in with work on the engine, its nice to see, you know, this thing is being preserved, and I also meet compatriots who Ive worked with in the past and also people who are new to me and we get on quite well. Its a nice thing. Its four meetings a year and five or six visits to Beamish to do things on the engine.

Tuesday, 03 November 2009
After months of filming, Alexander Armstrong's Very British Holiday, a documentary about tourism in Britain during the recession, is going to be on our screens on the 8th November.
Alexander Armstrong explores the state of the great British holiday. It is widely acknowledged that 2009 is a bumper year for the UK tourist industry, with many consumers tightening their belts and forgoing foreign holidays. Can Britain's destinations cope with the masses, and is the industry prepared for the demands of its guests? Alexander explores life in themed hotels, quaint and quirky B&Bs, family-run holiday parks and unusual attractions.
We are excited and dreading it by turns as we were filmed over several months and are sure we will see all the stages of naïve optimism (of course Scarlet is going to open on time) to haggard despair (2 weeks from opening and how on earth are we going to do it.) Tune in if you want to share our rollercoaster ride. BBC1 10.25pm 8th November.
If you have watched the programme and like what you see then why not come and stay at the Scarlet! Find out a bit more about the Scarlet at www.scarlethotel.co.uk. Call 01637 861206 or email firstname.lastname@example.com to check availability.

We loved this place, the pool location surrounded by mountains is incredible. To get to the rooms you must climb about 2 flights of stairs, but there... is an elevator after that. free parking but limited spaces, we parked the first night in front of the hotel for 1 euro. Porto is not to be missed. there are plenty of restaurants nearby, a Stoney beach, boat trips and incredible views. I suggest paying extra for a sea view room with a balcony. автор: Mature couple от DC; дата: 17/08/2013

"The new model is something like two thousand cubic inches, developing two hundred brake-horsepower at four thousand revolutions per minute on a magnesium frame with two styrofoam seats and a total curb weight of exactly two hundred pounds."
It's not rusted metal, its a cut up rusted driveway plate.
Besides, its painted with structural paint now. Is Don, is good.
Turbo manifold has now been sliced, diced and the turbo J piped like a mother fucker.
I also cut about 30mm off the mount Az made, painted it and the rocker covers/inlet manifold.
Going to brace up the passenger mount tomorrow and paint that, hopefully make a start on the cooler mounting as well.
Looks good.
The gearbox crossmember bots should be high tensile something- they appear to be hardware spec which are not even close unfortunately. You need a bolt with 8.8 on the head.
Some more pics from Friday evening. Had planned to get lots more done over the weekend. Got drunk and chased wimmenz instead. Again.
Working out the best position for the turbo to sit. Wasnt going to work in the standard low mount position as first intended due to the inlet housing fouling on the engine mount. Probably could have remade the mount but was just as much work to re mount the turbo.
J mount for the win. Tack it and check it...
And then finish it up. Also welded in a bracing tab between the flange and front cylinder outlet to keep it all stiff
Cooler piping will be easy as can be now
Cleaned up the mount Az started and modified it so the oil filter would fit in the standard spot. Painted it with structural paint to make sure its good.
In place.
As previously mentioned I painted some shit too
Dummied the painted bits in place to get a feel for how things are coming together.
Looks orright so far. Tomorrow night: Brace passenger side mount, paint and reinstall, auto sparky mate is dropping by to have a look at the wiring, remove rest of the inlet manifold and bin the NICS bullshit, make a start on the dump.
Honestly dont think I'll have it done by the end of the month but will have a solid crack at it and attempt to not get sidelined with liquor and women
Lookin good! This might be actually worth something at the end
2005 Vz Sv8
2014 Sylva Riot

Looks really good actually. Nice work.
Lol, he's not welding shit that's thick enough to just turn it up.
Getting there Phil.
Don't forget a trans cooler.
If you can fit them Stints has some drag radials on 4x114.3 rims you can borrow.
Also, measure the distance between centres of leaf spring mounts and post up. Might be able to find a diff that bolts in.
Cheers mate, having the car presentable for the SM article is what it driving me to get this thing done, plus I want to be able to move it on when I'm done rather than have yet another project car cluttering the driveway. Being brown its going to cop some kind of military spec graphics/paint job and not a hokey drift camo lamespec either
Yeah Az tried that, and blew holes in it. Forgetting he turned the gas off didnt help either
I'm trying to track down a stock CA auto radiator that has the transcooler built in for ease of installation but if you happen to find one under the bench let me know. Defintely keen on the drag radials, will attempt to come up over the weekend to grab the shifter, engine crane and the radials if possible.
Nissan H190 diff from S12 Gazelle/Silvia is the bolt in option for these things so might be more fruitful doing a search on one of them. I'll jack it up tonight and get those measurement when we start on welding the centre.
Anyone got an old pod filter lying around? All mine seem to have dissappeared. Also chasing some Nissan converter bolts so the thing can be properly bolted in.
Tim: any luck with the shifter bracket? I may not need it but would be handy to have for a test fit. All that A12 stuff is here waiting to be taken away too.
Duly noted. And thanks
Will do. Any datsun forums or people who may be interested in the shit? Would rather it go to someone who can use it than the dump. Engine is a good runner.
If there is no interest in the car as a whole once its done I'll look at seperating the gear as parts. Other than a couple of minor things (like the lack of piston oil squirters) the N/A CA18 isnt a bad base to start with. Slightly higher compression, more aggressive inlet cam for a start.
Also, can anyone tell me what the factory injectors are rated at and what would be an acceptable drop in solution? I have at least two sets of 380cc RB20DET injectors here that I could drop in while I have the manifold apart but NFI what flow rate or impedance the stockers are.
CA18DE injectors are high impedance 270cc, CA18DET are low impedance 340cc.
Read this too:
Upgrade for CA18DE injectors
1989-91 RX-7 195500-2010 Saturated 460cc Red Top injectors
Stetchy - I've got a K&N type POD that has an RB25 AFM adapter you can have.
datsun 1200 for the engine mate. list it as free. should get some poeple keen.
Mint, cheers bloke.
I had the same thought about the BMW radiator but am fairly certain it was cactus.
Fellow eurogeek mate came by tonight and helped me pull the NICS flappers out of the inlet plenum and told me an early golf radiator would be the gun setup as it has the inlet and outlet on the same side as the CA with an internal bypass.
I'll probably grab tha rad anyway on the weekend if I can get some cunt to drive up.
Oldmate eurogeek reckons magnas have a perfect size transcooler that should do the job too, and from memory so do lots of falcons.
You'd want too. If I finish this before you finish yours I dont want any BoganDave/crack style cunt hurt from you
I'd be happy to lend a hand if I was able to drive over mate.
Also, does a seat count as part of the cost or as a safety item? I have a few kicking around at home and am going to put a fixed back racing bucket for extra JDM hektik and to be a little more secure. The pulsar seats that came with it are actually pretty comfy but I'd rather feel like I'm not piloting a brown metal coffin.
Got a bit more done last night. Yanked the inlet manifold off again and got stuck into pulling the lower part of the manifold off that contains the NICS butterflies to promote bottom end torque by channelling the incoming air through one smaller port and then opening up at higher rpm for top end stomp. By all accounts this really doesnt do much so out it comes.
Manifold off
You can see the butterflies in the middle of the ports here
Pop the actuator off, seperate the manifold into two peices, unscrew the blade screws (cunts of things) and slide the linkage out
My main concern now is if having the hole running through the all of the inlet tracts is going to cause any issues. My guess is probably not. The end holes will get blocked off, I popped the plastic carriers out and there is a perfect recess for a nut or even just fill with weld.
You can see here how the inlet manifold steps from 4 to 8 ports for the NICS system. I think it was a good idea in theory but the idea of the inlet charge being jammed against a flat plate and subsequent reversion would be more trouble than its worth. I'm not an engineer though so only my two cents.
P.S dont look through the holes
I looked

Phil with the holes between each runner, most people that remove them on redtop RB20s (exact same design, just 2 cylinders longer) usually plug them with some devcon steel putty or whatevs. that or they remove the butterflys, but then reinstall the bar.

Genealogy has been a big part of our lives for the last several years. We are as far back as we can go in our family without some very large break through, so we have decided to devote some time to finding the final resting place of as many of our ancestors as possible.
Thanks to Findagrave we are making some progress. Now on our trips, we always check for photo requests in the area and are trying to give as many photos as we receive. We also try to take photos of as many old or unique headstones as possible. We see too many old headstones that are unreadable or partially destroyed, we want to do our part to save in pictures as many as we can.
Please report any errors we post (we want to be as correct as possible).
Researching: The Tabor Connection,The Jett Connection,The Hair Connection,The Rattray Connection, Rich/Wagner Connection.

Kathy I'm thinking there are some Jett family members buried in the Greenup, Cumberland County area? Is that part of your family? I'll have to look at my photos again.

Thank you
Bob and Kathy,
thanks so much for adding the info on all the graves. You really do not need to credit me for the information. When I first started adding to this web-site, linking was not a service, so I ended up typing a LOT about children and spouses. Linking helps save time and allows researchers to open (sorry for the pun) a grave and find information on an entire family. I can link any parent to a child I listed, but can't add kids I didn't list to their parents. Because of that, I have met so many other genealogy and grave yard junkies who love helping each other.
If you ever see a grave with my name as manager, and you are related to them, ask - 90% of requests to transfer are honored, the ones I usually want to keep are those who are direct relatives of mine. But even then, if they are your great- great- grandparent, and my cousin, I will usually send it on to you.
May God bless your home this Thanksgiving. I will be remembering all these families that I have listed and all the new folks I have met, helped and been helped by.

Frank G. Jett's wives
Frank G. Jett's first wife was Mollie C. Guthrie, daughter of Thomas and Sarah Phears Guthrie. They were married in 1894. His second wife was Emma May (her surname), daughter of John and Jane Harper May. Frank had no children with either of his wives.
Frank's grandfather, Stephen Franklin Jett, was a brother to my ancestor, James Monroe Jett. They were sons (along with 10 siblings) of Joseph and Phoebe Chrisman Jett.
I would be happy to share info with anyone interested in the Jetts.

Jett Connection
I note that you are researching the Jetts among others. I have two Jetts in my tree - Nancy Jett, daughter of James Jett and wife of John H. Tiffin, and Sophia Jett, married to William C. Tiffin.
Can you tell me if there is a connection between these two, and if so what is the connection?
Thank you,

Hi Bob and Kathy,
I saw the corrections and addition that you made on Lee Jett's memorial. They sound good. I also found were you created the memorial for John Frank Collette. You have done a great job. It would be wonderful to find where Mintie is buried now.
Maybe I want the impossible!!

Hi Bob and Kathy,
Here I am again. While I was checking farther, I found the correct wedding date for Lee and Mintie. It is 9 Feb 1905, and they were married in Jefferson Co., Tennessee. That is another correction that needs to be made to the bio.

Hi Bob and Kathy,
You probably are right about Lee Jett's wife's name being Mintie. Make that change in his bio. I have not as yet found her parents. I put in a request for a volunteer to add a picture of his tombstone to his memorial. Some time that the only way to find out if the wife was buried with him.
I always hope for more answers.

Hi Bob and Kathy,
In researching remote in-law's families I came across Lee Jett. The person that created his memorial is now inactive. I ask his to be transfered to me, I had a little information on him and could write a short bio. Find a grave did not hesitate the transfer. I got it the next day. I am assuming the person that created the Jett burials, did so from a cemetery list, but each one had a flower from "The Jett Connection," so I am taking the liberty of Transferring Lee memorial to you.

EBook: Physicians Sound Off on the High Price of Defensive Medicine
Physicians estimate the cost of defensive medicine to be between 26 and 34 percent of total annual healthcare costs. At an estimated $2.5 trillion in annual spending, this means $650-850 billion is spent each year on medical orders intended to avoid lawsuits, rather than treat patients.
A newly published report by Jackson Healthcare, A Costly Defense: Physicians Sound Off on the High Price of Defensive Medicine, summarizes physician opinions on defensive medicine collected between October 2009 and May 2011.

GNU TeXmacs is a free wysiwyw (what you see is what you want) editing platform with special features for scientists. The software aims to provide a unified and user friendly framework for editing structured documents with different types of content: text, mathematics, graphics, interactive content. TeXmacs can also be used as an interface to many external systems for computer algebra, numerical analysis, and statistics. New presentation styles can be written by the user and new features can be added to the editor using Scheme.
Armadillo is a C++ linear algebra library (matrix maths) aiming towards a good balance between speed and ease of use. Integer, floating point, and complex numbers are supported, as well as a subset of trigonometric and statistics functions. Various matrix decompositions are provided through optional integration with LAPACK and ATLAS libraries. A delayed evaluation approach, based on template meta-programming, is used (during compile time) to combine several operations into one and reduce or eliminate the need for temporaries.
Asymptote is a powerful descriptive 2D and 3D vector graphics language for technical drawing, inspired by MetaPost but with an improved C++-like syntax. It provides for figures the same high-quality level of typesetting that LaTeX does for scientific text. Asymptote is a programming language as opposed to just a graphics program. It can exploit the best features of script (command-driven) and graphical user interface (GUI) methods. High-level graphics commands are implemented in the language itself, allowing them to be easily tailored to specific applications.
Botan is a crypto library written in C++. It provides a variety of cryptographic algorithms, including common ones such as AES, MD5, SHA, HMAC, RSA, Diffie-Hellman, DSA, and ECDSA, as well as many others that are more obscure or specialized. It also offers SSL/TLS (client and server), X.509v3 certificates and CRLs, and PKCS #10 certificate requests. A message processing system that uses a filter/pipeline metaphor allows for many common cryptographic tasks to be completed with just a few lines of code. Assembly and SIMD optimizations for common CPUs offers speedups for critical algorithms like AES and SHA-1.
Gmsh is an automatic 3D finite element grid generator with built-in CAD and post-processing facilities. Its design goal is to provide a simple meshing tool with parametric input and advanced visualization capabilities. It is built around four modules: geometry, mesh, solver, and post-processing. The specification of any input to these modules is done either interactively using the graphical user interface (based on FLTK and OpenGL) or in ASCII text files using Gmsh's own scripting language.
The ATLAS (Automatically Tuned Linear Algebra Software) project is an ongoing research effort focusing on applying empirical techniques in order to provide portable performance. It provides C and Fortran77 interfaces to a portably efficient BLAS implementation, as well as a few routines from LAPACK.
GSL shell offers an interactive user interface that gives access to the GSL collection of mathematical functions. It is based on the powerful and elegant scripting language Lua. GSL shell is not just a wrapper over the C API of GSL, but offers a much more simple and expressive way to use GSL. The objective is to give the user the power to easily access GSL functions without having to write a complete C application. It also has a powerful module to produce plots or almost any kind of graphics based on data or functions.
VisIt is an interactive parallel visualization and graphical analysis tool for viewing scientific data. Users can quickly generate visualizations from their data, animate them through time, manipulate them, and save the resulting images for presentations. VisIt contains a rich set of visualization features so that you can view your data in a variety of ways. It can be used to visualize scalar and vector fields defined on two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) structured and unstructured meshes. It was designed to interactively handle very large data set sizes in the terascale range, and works well down to small data sets in the kilobyte range.
GetDP is a general finite element solver using mixed elements to discretize de Rham-type complexes in one, two, and three dimensions. The main feature of GetDP is the closeness between the input data defining discrete problems (written by the user in ASCII data files) and the symbolic mathematical expressions of these problems.
