I read on KevinMD about the angry tirade CNN's resident demagogue, racist, homophobe and all-around scumbag Glenn Beck posted on YouTube, in which he detailed what sounded like a truly horrible post-op experience. He wrote about horrible uncontrolled pain, an unanticipated trip to the ER (complete with obligatory false expectations of "Your doctor called in and your room is waiting"), and an admission for pain control.
Let's be frank. I have a keen Bullshit Detector. It comes with working for a decade in the ER. Beck's behavior sounded, to me, like the classic behavior of a drug-seeking patient. Complete with dramatic description of the pain, hysterical behavior, unrealistic expectations, and requirement for massive doses of opioid medications. But I read Beck's narrative with a grain of salt. I didn't know what surgery he had had, and I imagined that it might have been a lumbar laminectomy or fusion or something like that, and those can indeed result in very severe post-op pain. His behavior, while a little over the top, would not be inconsistent with a dramatic personality and severe pain. So I cut him some slack and moved on.
But then I found out what he had had done: hemorrhoid surgery.
I shit you not.
It's hard to imagine something more trivial. Uncomfortable? Surely. Desirable? No. But ohmygod did this guy make a mountain out of a proverbial molehill (no pun intended).
Let's go through this in detail:
"The anesthesiologist told me later [...] I've never had anybody wake up on the table before. He said, as soon as I turned you off, as soon as I turned all the juice off because we were done, he said, you woke up and turned around and said, I'm in pain. He said, so I turned everything back on. It took three hours to stabilize me on pain. [...] When I was in the recovery room, the nurse who was watching me, I would hear alarm bells and she would say, "Mr. Beck, breathe, Mr. Beck, just take a deep breath." I was not breathing. "
So this would imply to me that he was not under general, but maybe MAC (moderate sedation), in which the goal was to make the patient sleepy but not "fully out." Many hemorrhoid cases are done under local only. It's ridiculously uncommon to wake up from general anesthesia via an inhaled anesthetic or propofol. Apparently he had a very high medication tolerance (consistent with his prior history of substance abuse) and complained of persistent pain even when he had received so much medication that he was experiencing respiratory depression.
The exact timeline after that gets fuzzy, understandably. He was seen in the ER for urinary retention (not uncommon after getting high doses of narcotics). He was apparently admitted and recounts being on a PCA, "Morphine, fentanyl, Toradol, percocet every two hours and a morphine pump," and discharged on a fentanyl patch! Inpatient for five days! Wowie. For a hemorrhoid.
I can understand and sympathize with Mr. Beck if there was indeed a delay in getting the catheter in. In our ER those cases usually get brought more or less right back, because retention is so uncomfortable and it's such a quick fix. He was annoyed with the staff's apparent lack of empathy. I wonder if his histrionic behavior at triage contributed to the lack of urgency the nursing staff felt in addressing his complaints (in general, the more dramatic the behavior, the less acute the problem). It's hard to say whether the staff was truly indifferent and callous, or whether Beck's self-absorbed perspective just made them seem so. Either is perfectly possible, but Beck's credibility isn't running real high in this self-aggrandizing narrative.
Some of KevinMD's commenters thought that it was dumping on the ER that he was sent there for admission. In fact, I disagree. I go nuts with frustration when people show up saying "my husband's doctor called, they're expecting him, he needs to have a catheter put in and he needs pain medication right away; he needs to be admitted." But given that he had urinary retention, the ER was in fact an appropriate place to go, and the evidence would suggest that his doctor did the right thing and admitted him himself. So, not truly a dump.
I'm still amazed that the surgeon admitted him for hemorrhoid pain. I wonder, had he not been a TV personality and VIP, would he have been? In my experience, these cases wind up with the surgeon (or his on-call partner who doesn't know the patient) not seeing the patient and telling the ER doc over the phone "just send him home." In most cases, this puts me in the position of being the "bad guy," but on the other hand, I'm used to being the bad guy, and there is little justifiable indication to admit people for pain which in any reasonable person would be managed with NSAIDS and mild to moderately potent opioids.
Patients like Beck are a terrible challenge. With prior histories of drug abuse, they often have poor response to standard treatments for pain, and concomitantly, a very heightened perception of pain. Throw in poor coping skills, a sense of entitlement, maybe narcissistic personality disorder, and it's a management nightmare. No amount of medicine is ever enough. You can, as demonstrated, put them into a drug-induced coma and they still complain of unbearable pain, and the pain does not resolve even as the physiologic insult heals. So as a doctor, you either wind up over-medicating them to little effect (and feeling like you are contributing to the problem), or sending them out, still complaining of pain, and feeling like a heartless bastard.
One might hope that this experience might teach Beck some empathy and compassion, traits notably absent from his media personality. The tone of his blog post makes me expect that he will instead mount a crusade against the evil and indifferent medical community and their inability to treat hemorrhoid pain. Great; just what we need. Just as well nobody is watching.

Beck's entire opioid-induced story aside... How many times does the FDA need to tell people to quit using fentanyl patches for PRN analgesia, yet it still happens?ReplyDelete
Maybe they just considered him opioid-tolerant and let him have it. Given his prior history, what's to say he doesn't go home and point the hair dryer at it to get a better buzz?
Dude was on Fentanyl patches along with Perkies for post-op HEMORRHOID pain? Hell, I'd make the doctor come in and put those on himself. That just doesn't make any sense.ReplyDelete

I appreciate your giving him the benefit of the doubt, but with an established bias like yours, why even try to be fair?

I hope to heaven that in real life you are a kind, loving person with a lot of redeeming qualities. I hope you are a dedicated family man who is always ready to support a friend. I hope your patients all believe that you are a compassionate and caring doctor. Because reading invective like this just makes me sick. Not sick because I am afraid of disagreement, not sick because I am swayed by your arguments, not sick because I am intolerant of dissent, not sick because I am a member of the conservative elite. I find your thoughts and feelings as conveyed in your writing not just misguided and wrong, but actually disgusting and disturbing on a visceral level. I would argue with you but I just don't think we even have enough common ground to have a conversation. So, I apologize for lowering this to an ad hominem comment. Feel free to delete it. I did, however, want to express my feelings before signing off.ReplyDelete

Good Grief! You are the type of ER doctor Glen Beck talks about. You sound like a uncaring, mon compassionate doctor who should get as far away from any hospital as you possibly can. What the hell does any of what you feel about him have to do with what he went through? Do you always decide what kind of care a person received based onm their personality? If that is the case then maybe you wil get that in return one day. You are scary.
- Anonymous8/30/2009 8:56 PM
People's pain experience is different for every individual, and having a low threshold is expected in a certain segment of the population. I have not seen Mr. Beck's video, but I am shocked to see a medical doctor determine how much pain a person is in by how "trivial" they consider the problem. I have peripheral neuropathy and my pain is severe even though the physical "insult" that originally caused the pain is long healed. There is actually a good deal of evidence that my chronic neuropathic pain may have resulted from undertreatment of the original acute pain. Indeed, pain occurs even in places that aren't there, as in the very common instance of pain in phantom limbs following amputation. This pain is not more valid simply because a limb amputation is a more serious operation than a hemerrhoidectomy. The only person who knows how much pain a patient has is the patient. There is absolutely no evidence that supports withholding narcotic pain relief in an effort to prevent addiction. Lack of pain medication causes far more unnecessary suffering than pain medicine addiction.ReplyDelete

I agree that there are many smokers out there who are just not considerate. However, banning smoking is not going to save your kids health. If we blame smoking, we also have to look at industry that adds pollutants and chemicals in the air we breathe every day! How about the cars we drive? The pollutants from cars are just as damaging!
Back to choices versus bans....shall we ban the use of cars or can we as individuals choose other transportation? How bout banning industry or can they choose to pollute less? Now what do you propose!? Is this ban truly the answer? If we are all given the right to choose--then you can choose to take your kids to places that don't allow smoking just as you choose already to smoke, but not in their presence! Let's not take away people's choices!!! There is always a bandwagon some where just waitng to make choices for you....

Re: Ups-n-Downs on Statewide Ban on Smoking
Yes, there are many things that we breath in that are not under our control that are bad for us, however, we have to start somwhere. Why are the choices of smokers so much more important them the choice I make not to share the smoke they (the smokers) CHOOSE to share with me. If smokers exhale in the air I breath then they have decided to make me breath thier smoke. I will repeat this again and again until smokers understand, I do not care if YOU smoke. I just want them to not share it with me. If they can not do that by there own acord then I must find ways to try to force them to keep it to themselves. I will not give up and will continue to be a pain in the behind of any smoker that CHOOSES to make me breath the smoke they exhale. I leave the area where smokers are, I do not go into businesses that cater to smokers, I will walk away from a conversation if a smoker is involved and starts smoking during the conversation, I will not use a taxi that stinks like smoke, I do not ever spend money in bars anymore, and most restraunts. A place that claims it has a nonsmoking AREA is just plain LYING because putting up a wall and ceiling fans does not mean nonsmoking it just means they are spreading it around for EVERYONE that is in the building. If a door is open between the bar and restraunt then they are still not smoke free, they may claim to have smoke free dining but it is NOT smoke free it is just reduced smoke. I choose to not smoke and will continue to not smoke and I will not allow the 20% of dumb people force me to smoke by breathing the smoke they want to share with me. Like it or not a smoking ban is on the way!!!!!! It will take time but we will win!!! I know that for fact and will help anyway I can. All I ask as a nonsmoker is that smokers keep it to themselves, why is that so tuff, it is not like I am forcing you to quit, just KEEP IT TO YOURSELVES!
Spay or nueter your pets!!!!!!!
Re: Ups-n-Downs on Statewide Ban on Smoking
Implying_Ava, smokers take away my choice to breath air without smoke? How is that fair? You talk about choices, what about my choice to breath air without smoke, oh, that is right, I guess your right to share the smoke with me is more important then my choice not to smoke.

Re: Ups-n-Downs on Statewide Ban on Smoking
I know that everyone breaths in toxins from factories, fires, etc; but we as people control are smoking and where it is done!!!! Like nugget says, it is our right to smoke but the non smokers have a right not to have to breath it. So when they say they want to ban smoking in public places, I am all for it!!!!!! I live in Florida and it has been like that for quite some time, except at bars where no food is served. Smokers cry about there rights, but if you listen to what you fighting for it sounds ignorant as well as it looks!!!! Just like a drunk whining about his right to drive----it is just ignorant and no one else should have to deal with someone elses bad habits, that we ourselves control!
Re: Ups-n-Downs on Statewide Ban on Smoking
Exactly, at this point YOU control whether or not you choose to be in a bar that allows smoking.it is just ignorant and no one else should have to deal with someone elses bad habits, that we ourselves control!
Absolutely, amen. YOU make the choice to be around someone else's bad habits (that you don't like) in a bar... YOU control that. And I salute you for acknowledging that fact, way to go!
The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese....

SNOW HILL – Elected officials pushed for another delay in considering the draft comprehensive rezoning and revamped subdivision regulations on Tuesday, citing the need to notify out-of-county property owners of potential changes.
If the hearings and approval had been put off, the three-year delay in the new rezoning and subdivision regulations would have stretched to at least three and a half years.
The Worcester County Comprehensive Plan was approved in March 2006, but the rezoning and subdivision rule updates were repeatedly delayed until June 2008, when the commissioners gave staff a deadline.
Elected officials have cited the 2006 election as one reason for the delay. Other work took precedence in later years, despite commissioner instructions to staff to proceed.
The new zoning and subdivision regulations were introduced as draft legislation this week.
On Tuesday, Commissioner Bud Church expressed concern that non-resident property owners might not get the chance to weigh in on potential zoning changes to their property, since they are unlikely to know about the proposed changes or public hearings.
"I think those people need to be notified their property may see a zoning change," Church said.
The county would have to identify those non-resident property owners and notify all of them, not simply those with possible zoning changes.
"The law as written does not require it," said Ed Tudor, director of Development Review and Permitting.
Church suggested identifying out-of-county property owners by tax account.
County attorney Sonny Bloxom said that the county would have to notify all non-resident landowners, not just those with possible changes to their land's zoning.
All Worcester properties are under consideration for a zoning change through the draft hearing process, said Development Review and Permitting Deputy Director Phyllis Wimbrow. That would be thousands of property owners, she said.
Commissioner Virgil Shockley estimated that the cost to mail letters to all non-resident county property owners could be as much as $150,000.
Postage is going up next month, County Commission President Louise Gulyas pointed out.
"We can't afford to do that," Gulyas said.
Drafts of the new regulations and information on hearings and workshops are posted online, and notice has been put out to local homeowners associations for newsletter inclusion.
The other option, Shockley said, would be to put off the vote scheduled for June 2 and put the information in the county tax bills, which will not be sent until July 1.
People do not come to public hearings held in the summer, Gulyas said.
"People don't always read letters," Commissioner Judy Boggs said.
Church responded, "It's not our responsibility to make them read it. It's our responsibility to give them the opportunity to read it."
If the notice were sent out with the tax bill, the public hearing would have to be delayed until August or September.
"There's nothing wrong with that," said Commissioner Jim Purnell.
Boggs differed with this assessment, saying the commissioners had asked staff to make the draft rezoning a priority.
Putting the notice in the tax bills would save money, Purnell said.
The budget insert added to the tax bill mailing would have to be sacrificed in favor of the notice, said Treasurer Harold Higgins, because of logistics.
The county has 68,000 tax accounts, according to Higgins. With Berlin and Ocean Pines sharing a zip code, separating town tax accounts from county could be time consuming and difficult.
"Let's do them all," Purnell said.
Boggs said she would hate to make a decision without all the facts in front of the commissioners.
"It sounds to me it's much more complex than it would appear," Boggs said.
The schedule for public workshops and hearings has already been printed and distributed, Commissioner Bobby Cowger said.
Despite the opposition that arose during discussion, Purnell made a motion to send all property owners a notice in their tax bill that the draft comprehensive rezoning and subdivision regulations are under discussion and their properties could be affected.
The motion failed, with only Church and Purnell voting for it.
"It's too expensive. Good idea, but it's not going to fly," said Gulyas.

Cut It Out!
Author Michael Chabon—who's known for writing a bit about his tribe, the Jews—is railing against the perversity of circumcision. He writes in his new memoir Manhood for Amateurs, "Mutilation [is] the only honest name for this raw act that my wife and I have twice invited men with knives to come into our house and perform, in the presence of all our friends and family, with a nice buffet and Weekend Cake from Just Desserts."
Recently, when talking with our expecting friends, circumcision came up. When I said I'd be for it, my husband, who is circumcised, gave me a horrified look, as if I'd just said, "Let's watch NASCAR," or "I'm going to grow dreadlocks."
Most adult males born after the '50s are circumcised, though more and more parents are choosing to leave their son with a turtleneck. To be honest, I don't know that I've seen an uncircumcised penis outside of an unfortunate incident involving a friend's dad and his inability to lock the bathroom door. (This is not an invitation, creeps.)
So, would you snip your kid?

This weekend, young Hollywood showed up for the red carpet premiere of Mirror Mirror with Snow White-themed accessories. Cloris Leachman showed up in a snow white bra.
Star of the film Lily Collins chose a cooler, less-ethereal pretty princess dress.
It seemed like Julia Roberts didn't want to steal Lily Collins' thunder, so she kind of ran through the red carpet in her pantsuit.
I'm guessing Alicia Arden had these "mirror mirror" shoes custom-made for this event, because where else would she possibly wear something so hideous. She's not even in the movie.
Stefanie Scott's apple purse was a much cuter idea.
I don't want to kick Bonnie Bentley while she's down. Her IMDb page credits her as "Poor Woman" in Mirror Mirror.
All in white: Kalia Prescott, Renee Olstead, Amara Miller.
Kylie Jenner looked very smart, but I actually think that Kris Jenner and Kiernan Shipka were best dressed, because their coats were so nice.
Cloris Leachman may have had something of a wardrobe malfunction but at least she didn't look like a couture potato sack (Chris Galya) or a napkin (Courtney Hansen).

IP Address Management, Part IV: Centralization
Cisco Prime Network Registrar is able to achieve a high level of efficiency and reliability because of its heterogeneous integration with the other tools operators are using to manage their networks. Rather than being a separate tool that administrators have to go back and forth between, Cisco Prime Network Registrar provides centralized resource visibility and IP address management. And, with the ability to scale to high user counts, it provides reliable management capabilities for even the largest networks.
This centralized visibility is an important capability for simplifying IP address management. For example, a network may comprise many islands, some based on IPv4 and an increasing number on IPv6. While these subnets are different, based on their physical equipment and topology, they still appear as a single network to users and their data. For this reason, they need to be managed as a single network as well.
Consider an IPv4 subnet deployed in a local office. When a call comes from that office, the operator needs to be able to reach the subnet over the IPv6 network to begin troubleshooting the problem. When IPv4 and IPv6 resources are managed separately, the operator has to map out a path to the local office by hand.
Because Cisco Prime Network Registrar overlays the IPv6 network over IPv4 resources, it can provide the appropriate routing information to give operators a head start on troubleshooting. Rather than wasting time figuring out how to get to the local office to see what is happening, operators are able to immediately focus on solving the problem at hand and minimizing client downtime.
To complete this series on IP address management, I'll talk about how each of these elements – agility, integration, automation, inventory, support for IPv6, and centralization – impact return on investment.

With the aromatic scent of love still lingering in the air after Valentine's Day, I felt it was appropriate to celebrate the love that society is so interested in. It is not the love between the lowly peasants like you and I, it is the love that blankets the magazines in line at the grocery stores.
I try not to get to wrapped up in Hollywood love but that doesn't mean that it doesn't perk my interest from time to time. I don't care that Spencer Pratt has a new single out or that Lindsay Lohan stole a necklace. I think all celebrity news, good and bad, are categorized together as gossip and I would like to take a very short amount of time to highlight the couples that not only stay out of trouble but seem to have something a little special as well.
10. Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta Jones:
With a combined age of 105 years of age, these two love-birds top the list being the oldest couple. They both have aged like fine wines and despite their bumps in the road over the years they are still together. They have battled cancer and divorce and still come out on top, which says a lot about the strength of their relationship.
9. Seal and Heidi Klum:
Seal was definitely kissed by a rose. One might wonder what the world's most esteemed super model saw in Brit with one name and who wears leather trousers year round but I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Her great genes and his lack of jeans have produced two of the cutest little chaps to ever have American/British/German accents. Heidi is obviously the more outspoken half of the team but Seal shows his love in other ways by spending time with the kids and writing her little ditties.
8. A-Rod and Cameron Diaz:
Aww isn't puppy love just precious? With both of these kids having their own laundry list of past relationships, it is nice to see them show their love for each other even if over 100,000,000 people are watching. I know I would have some insecurities about being hand-fed popcorn in front of the entire country. Their love is still fresh and new, they probably had a fight last night where Cam brought up the past, talking about Justin Timberlake but I think they have what it takes to last. Stay tuned.
7. Ryan Reynolds and Sandra Bullock:
It is nice to see that the spark that was originally ignited on the set of their movie, "The Proposal," was able to eventually catch fire. The chemistry between them was obvious but the timing was poor as they both had their own significant others. However, everything happens for a reason and it seems as though fate had a little bit to do with these two reconvening at a time in their lives where they both probably needed each other. Awwww.
6. David and Victoria Beckham:
Becks and Posh Spice are to bloody pretty for their own good. They have the most major relationship to come out of Great Britian since Prince Charles and Lady Diana. It is amazing that with both of them being such high-powered stars from their country were able to outlast and outrun the dangerous British paparazzis and that alone has to stand for something. Posh in her 8 inch pumps and Becks in his Adidas Predators have been able to prove all the critics wrong as they take Southern California by storm.
5. Jay-Z and Beyonce:
This video tells it all as Beyonce and Jay-Z truly are the Bonnie and Clyde of our generation. HOV's thuggish ruggish bones have been able to go from project housing to managing multiple projects at the same time. With both of them having insanely busy schedules they have been able to maintain a stable relationship. They are the exception to the rule concerning long-distance relationships and give hope for everyone else going through what they go through on a much larger scale. They're down to ride to the very end.
4. Bennifer 2.0:
Normally, I don't like anything that comes out of Boston but I have a great amount of respect for Ben Affleck. Beniffer 1.0 (with Jennifer Lopez) didn't work out in the end and the more down to earth, Jennifer Garner seemed to be the right fit for this new catch phrase and family. They seem like they are happy together and it is evident through their interactions and interviews with each other that what they have is different from most.
3. Brangelina:
Their relationship didn't start of as smoothly as most do, with Brad cheating on Jenifer Anniston with Angelina Jolie while they filmed "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" together but they are by far the most followed celebrity couple. They definitely are a little out there but that doesn't mean they don't have a healthy relationship. I'm not convinced they have what it takes to remain together until they both look like "Benjamin Button" but that is just me.
2. Ashton Kutcher, Demi Moore, and Bruce Willis:
Speaking of followers, Ashton Kutcher isn't punking anyone when he buys billboard space across the country to get people to follow him on Twitter and it is actually a great investment for him in the long run, but that is a whole other story. Demi is definitely robbing the cradle a little bit with her having kids with Bruce Willis almost the same age as Ashton but to me it the fact that Ashton, Demi, Bruce, and the kids are all on great terms with each other that makes Kutchers, Moores, and Willises the most functional dysfunctional family in Hollywood.
1. Will and Jada Smith:
How friggin' cute are they? The real Mr. and Mrs. Smith have produced the most adorable family of all time. Trey is one of the best prep wide receivers in the country. Jaden is busy becoming the ultimate triple threat of actor/rapper/ninja. And Willow is busy whipping her hair back and forth making people all over the world wanting to just pinch her cheeks. If my kids can be half as cute, athletic, and talented as they are I will be one happy man.

Il Chianti @ Lomita
Yes, I admit, by default of it being part of a Japan-based chain I was very curious. Inside the restaurant was the stuff first-dates are made of — cozy seating, dim lights, natural decor, cordial waiters. The menu was just as inviting with a wide variety of antipasto, pasta, secondo and desserts to satisfy.
You're won't find much of an array of Japanese/Italian-fused concoctions. No natto-filled cannoli or ume-shiso pasta. Il Chianti is more of what you'll find sitting atop a fancy Tokyo high-rise — youshoku (Western food) finely tweaked for the Japanese palate.
Maybe it was just an off-day for them, but style prevailed heavily over substance. As wonderful as the menu sounded, most of what we ordered fell short of being great, and even got me reminiscing in my head about more flavorful times. We started off with a "house special" mixed salad which looked more like a $2-a-bag Trader Joe's medley. No toppings. Nothing. It came with homemade dressing — a light but rather salty, miso-based sauce.
Our 8-inch pizza was topped with prosciutto, mozzarella, tomato sauce and a mound of arugula, none of which really stood out from the other. The thin crust was crisp, but I've had far tastier prosciutto at French Market Cafe (and all through out Europe of course). Steer away from the gnocchi if you've ever had it homemade. There was so little bite that I thought my teeth had gone soft.
We also tried the homemade pasta with tomato sauce, garnished with thin slices of Parmesan. It was good in a thank-god-our-last-dish-didn't-suck kinda way.
After dinner, we sat around chatting and trying hard to take in at least $30 worth of ambiance. I'm not going to completely rule out Il Chianti. After all, how could over a dozen other online reviewers be wrong? So tell me readers, what was the best dish you've had at Il Chianti? Maybe if you do a good job of convincing me, I'll make a second trip back.

In other news...
LA Times contributor Linda Burum offers her own review of Il Chianti in Wednesday's paper. I need to correct her on the definition of youshoku ryouri, which doesn't mean "Japanese style western dishes." It actually just means "western cooking." So Il Chianti is really youshoku ryouri.
Speaking of Japanese-style pasta, here's a cute little commercial which was big in Japan last year. It shows two little tarakos (cod roe) singing a promotional song for a Kewpie brand pasta sauce. I need to get me one of those hats.
Justin.TV: I don't know why I enjoy watching some Asian dude with a camera on his head 24/7. I think I wanna just catch him taking a dump one of these days.

I do like the pizza here when I went with my g/f who raved about it. But then again, I don't have a discriminating tongue for prosciutto. The dish I absolutely loved here was the creamy, rich mushroom risotto. :) Definitely could have shared with you to steer away from the gnocchi and the black squid ink spaghetti. Hope you give this one another try. The servers are super nice!
- Tokyoastrogirl said...
Hm, that pizza looks better than it tasted, I guess. Too bad they don't have Japanese/Italian fusion....my best friend looooves tarako pasta. I'm still drooling over your Gonpachi photos, BTW!
- Pirikara said...
Heya BoLA~ Yeah, I should try the risotto. Though it will have to be after the lactose-free diet I'll be testing out soon. =P
Heya Tuna~ Yeah the photos do look much better. One of my old-reliable J-I fusion places is Blue Marlin on Sawtelle. Yeah I love tarako pasta too. Hope to see the both of you next time for dinner~!
I liked their Tataki and Tuna tartar
Haven't been here in awhile but the Spaghetti Bottarga, Squid Ink Risotto and Tuna Tartare are fabulous. Everything else is just okay, but the truly hilarious part about this place is the vast difference in service if you speak Japanese versus if you don't. I've actually seen the hostess turn away non-Japanese Asians though there should have been enough seating.
wow that is racist, never going there now!
Were from Japan and this food is 10 times better than the usual slop thats is served up here in the States. Check your love handles if you dont believe me.

We just checked it out on a whim after driving by it many times. The hostess (not very friendly at all) actually looked at us like we were martians when we walked in. She asked if we had reservations, funny cause the place was empty as it was a Saturday morning. Anyway, she struggled with her thoughts for a moment or two and then agreed to seat us. How nice of her. We're both Caucasian, by the way.
The place looks like a dingy mess, even the menus were dirty (I wanted to wash up after touching them).
I agree about the salad dressing being WAY too salty. I couldn't eat it.
The sampler appetizer was interesting, but the only thing worth talking about was the little dollop of risotto, which was by far the BEST risotto I've ever had. It was creamy and flavorful and had a little garnish of veg that tasted like a cross between kimchee (sorry spelling?) and bruschetta.
The main course was spaghetti and "steak". Both were, average at best. The "steak" was really pot roast and it was tough. Spaghetti was cooked perfectly al dente, but the sauce was just okay.
The waiter was a charming and VERY nice young man. (Saving grace for the visit overall.)
I would MAYBE go back for risotto and a glass of wine, but that's about it I think. The pizza another family was having looked good, but who knows if I'd bother trying one...

Russell and Jean Groves like the Hillsboro City Library. They come in often to enjoy the selection of books, magazines, and newspapers. It was only natural that they decided to make the library a beneficiary of their family art sales when the opportunity arose.
"Libraries have always been real important to Jean and me," Russell Groves said. "We felt this is something our parents would approve of because it benefits everyone in the community."
Grove's mother, Ellen Groves, was a watercolor painter, and Jean's father, James Baxter, a wood carver. The combined collections of their work now fill the former Supreme Floor building at 110 N. Main Street in Hillsboro. It is the beginning of a downtown art gallery, and Mayor Delores Dalke is excited about the possibilities.
"We've needed something like this in Hillsboro for a long time," Dalke said. "The whole idea is that someday we will invite additional artists to exhibit and sell their work here. The quality of the items the Groves' are donating to benefit the library is just amazing."
The business does not have an official name yet, but Groves tossed out the possibility of Hillsboro Holiday Art Gallery.
"We will be opening the first weekend of November and then be open every weekend and on holidays," he said. "We will likely be open on Thursday evenings as well, and by appointment."
At a sneak peak show Tuesday evening, Dalke said the organization of display was still in process, but items were already for sale.
"Russell is working on getting the prices computerized, but if anyone wants to see what is here, they can call me and we can work out a private showing," Dalke said.
In addition to watercolor paintings of flowers, landscapes, and sky scenes, a special group of carousel paintings is paired with wooden fantasy carousel animals.
"We will probably use those as a centerpiece for the gallery," Groves said. "It is just very interesting how some of these things are coming together."
Groves said his father, Leslie Groves, who is still living, had all his mother's paintings at his home.
"When he was ready to let them go, he asked us to set up a way to donate them in a way that would benefit the community," he said. "We hope this will be a way to start some seed money for a building project for the library."
Groves' mother, Ellen Groves, is no longer living, but her original watercolor paintings that now rest in Hillsboro have traveled around the world.
"She painted and sketched since she was a kid, but became an actual artist, selling her work in the 1960s and '70s," he said. "Through the Kansas Watercolor Society she had four pieces consigned to an exhibit of American art that traveled throughout Europe. Only one of those pieces has not been sold and it will be available at the art gallery."
Woodcarvings by Baxter on display at the gallery range from intricate bird and flower displays to fish, mountain goats, and other wild animals. A mountain lion carving is currently on display at the Hillsboro City Library, along with several watercolor paintings.
"This all helps the city in two ways," Dalke said. "We get to help the library as money from these art sales will go directly toward that fund, plus we hope to make this a long-term art gallery for Hillsboro."

ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont will officially enter winter next week having received $14.4 million of the total $14.9 million in heating fuel assistance that the federal government has thus far earmarked for the entire season.
And that $14.9 million total is considerably less than the $25.6 million the state received in federal heating fuel help last year.
Part 1: Business leaders making plea for economic development director
Editor's note: This article is the second of a three-part series on Addison County residents who have sought help from the Quit Tobacco Program at Porter Hospital in order to kick their cigarette habits.
MIDDLEBURY — Wally Bailey, 62, of Salisbury was only six years old when he smoked his first cigarette.
"At that point, I must have seen people smoke," Bailey said. "My parents didn't smoke. No one in my family smoked. I just thought it was cool, I guess."
Bailey's friend would steal packs of cigarettes from his parents and the two would smoke them together in secret.
MONTPELIER — At a summit in Montpelier this past Friday, members of the Vermont Council on Rural Development's Working Landscape Partnership laid out a plan that they hope will preserve and bolster the state's agricultural and forestry economy.
The more than 300 people gathered at the Future of Vermont's Working Landscape summit included planners, legislators and governor-elect Peter Shumlin. Among the faces were many from Addison County who are interested in sustaining the area's agricultural way of life and the culture surrounding it.
WEYBRIDGE — State Sen. Claire Ayer has grown accustomed to traveling throughout the Green Mountain State in representing the interests of Addison County and Brandon.
But the four-term Democrat's customary travels, usually from her home in Weybridge to the Statehouse in Montpelier, recently ramped up to some veritable globetrotting.
Ayer returned on Monday from a weeklong visit to Taiwan, as co-leader of a 10-person delegation made up of legislators from four New England states: Vermont, Massachusetts, Maine and New Hampshire.

LEICESTER — Even hundreds of feet from the Moore family's Leicester home, fragrance hangs in the air. Step inside the house, and the scent is even stronger: lemongrass, pine, cinnamon, lavender and peppermint, and a background bouquet that's best described as clean.
And although a visitor is immediately struck by the strong smells, no one in the family notices the scent.
"We don't even smell it anymore," said Linda Moore, mother of the clan.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Tuesday tabled until at least their next meeting a proposal to create a city law that would allow Vergennes police to issue city tickets for possession of drug paraphernalia.
Mayor Michael Daniels said there were enough questions from city council members that they decided to wait until Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel could attend a meeting in person to make the case for an ordinance he is proposing.

A longtime manufacturer of equipment for the U.S. agricultural market is extending its reach into the self-propelled sprayer market. In January, Hardi North America launched two new models, Presidio and Saritor, that it aims to carry far into the future.
"This is our introduction, but we been developing this project for many years," says Brad Frazier, national sales manager, Hardi North America. Founded in 1957 in Copenhagen, Denmark, Hardi has had a presence in North America since 1984 and specializes in pumps, spraying equipment such as pull-type sprayers and other products including orchard and vineyard sprayers.
Representatives were available to talk about the new sprayers during the 2013 National Farm Machinery Show in Louisville, Ky., this month.
So far, Hardi's new self-propelled sprayer brands comprise three models. The Presidio 2700, considered an entry-level model for mid-size farmers, features a 700-gal. tank, boom options of 80' or 90', hydrostatic drive, a Deutz TCD2012 Tier III engine and ground speeds of up to 25 mph, among other features. It offers tallest-in-class clearance of 58", making it ideal for corn or post-emergence application, Frazier says.
Its empty weight of 16,225 lb. makes it the lightest sprayer in its class, as well as the sprayer with the best weight distribution for that class, he says. List price ranges from $215,993 to $219,606.
Named for the Roman god of weeding and hoeing, the Saritor line features two models, the 4000 (featuring an 1,100-gal. tank) and the 5000 (1,300-gal. tank). Both are intended for use by mid- to large-scale producers, can operate with a boom up to 132' wide and offer clearance of between 48" and 54". Ground speeds range from 31 mph for the 4000 to 33.5 mph for the 5000. Both are powered by a Cummins QSB6.7 Tier III engine. The 4000 ranges in price from $301,300 to $313,300 depending on boom size, while the 5000 ranges from $311,500 to $322,500.
Differentiating the sprayers are their fluid systems setup and booms, Frazier says. Hardi DynamicFluid4 system accurately delivers the target rate without delay regardless of whether sections are switched on, a change in speed is in progress or the machine is turning in or out of headlands. The DynamicFluid4 processor analyzes spraying data 20 times per second and provides preemptive rate control capability, precisely altering pump speed. The fluid system is driven by the Hardi 650 wet seal run dry centrifugal pump, which can achieve 15 gpm to 30 gpm rate changes in 1.5 seconds.
The in-cab application controller platform provides a high level of performance application precision with all function and rate control at the fingertips of the operator. Loading is fast and efficient with controls that are within easy reach and logically placed in the work zone. Two color-coded smartvalves operate the primary filling, spraying and cleaning functions. Loading chemicals is safe and easy via a high-capacity turbofiller that is lowered to provide easy access.
Booms also matter. The Presidio sprayer is equipped with a proven Eagle boom that can apply accurately at high speeds on rugged terrain such as no-till fields, Frazier says. It offers strong 2-D truss construction supported by fast-acting paralift boom height control.
Both Saritor models are equipped with a new Terra Force boom that consists of a 3-D truss construction supported by an extra-wide paralift, which further enhances stability for a smooth ride and performance. The AutoTerrain boom management system provides on-the-go stability control. Its automatic height system allows the operator to plug in a predetermined height–20" above the crop is commonly used with 110-degree flat-fan nozzles, for example–for consistent application.
Production for 2013 already is sold out for all of Hardi's self-propelled sprayer models, Frazier says. The company is ramping up production at its North American headquarters in the U.S., which opened in 1988 in Davenport, Iowa. There are more than 200 Hardi dealers in North America.
"The overall feedback has been overwhelmingly positive," Frazier says.
The company chose to limit both first-year production and its geographic area for its initial sprayer introduction to Iowa and surrounding states such as Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Illinois. Production capabilities for 2014 have not been finalized.
Production of models with tanks capable of carrying more than 1,300 gal. of fluid is planned over the next five years, Frazier says. The goal is to introduce a full line of self-propelled sprayers featuring many configurations of horsepower and boom size.
The 2,600-gal. CM, introduced last year, is now available and offers the largest capacity available from any U.S. manufacturer.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Alex Ross doesn't have a fear of flying but he did have a fear of dying without Jesus on his side.
While returning home to Kansas City, Mo., for Thanksgiving break, the airplane Ross was riding in almost touched the ground with one of its wings as it landed.
Ross, a former left-handed pitcher for the Lipscomb Bison in 2010 and 2011, works for the athletic department while finishing up his degree. While attending a Fellowship of Christian Athletes meeting in December he decided it was time to be baptized.
"I had a great flight, but when we landed the left wing about touched the ground," Ross said. "After that, I thought if that plane had crashed and there was some reason I had died I wouldn't have been saved. Whether or not I believed in Jesus Christ, I hadn't been baptized."
Ross, who played two seasons for Maple Woods Community College, the same school that produced Albert Pujols, was attracted to Lipscomb due to its emphasis on Christian values.
"I had a friend, Neal Roe, who had helped me out a lot with my spiritual development at home," Ross said. "I had him come to visit Lipscomb with me. I went to Arkansas-Little Rock and Harding before I came to Lipscomb.
"I didn't know anything about the school except that the baseball team had beaten Georgia in the NCAA Tournament in 2008 and had a pretty storied baseball program dating back to the NAIA days. The first day I came on campus I knew this was where I wanted to be."
Roe graduated from Harding where he played football for two seasons.
"Neal has been there for me through thick and then through middle school and high school," Ross said. "I didn't really know anything about church until I was in the sixth grade. I was always busy playing sports.
"Going to church wasn't a regular thing. And in the Midwest there isn't a church on every other block like there is here."
In middle school and high school he attended church on regular basis but in the summers, baseball took over his weekends.
"I've had my ups and downs where I felt really good about things and I have felt sad about things," Ross said. "I learned a little bit. It was a place that I enjoyed, but I didn't stick with it."
Ross responded to the message presented by Brent High, associate athletic director for spiritual formation. But Ross has also been influenced by his girlfriend Mollie Mitchell, one of the spiritual leaders for the Lady Bison softball team, and her family as well as Lipscomb baseball coach Jeff Forehand.
"I didn't really understand that there is a difference between a good person and a Godly person," Ross said. "Each year I have been here I have learned more and more through Bible classes and chapels.
Mitchell had been urging Ross to be baptized on several occasions, but each time something seemed to be holding him back.
"I had been talking about with Mollie and reading the Word with Brent," Ross said. "Believing in God is a great thing but to really confirm that you have to be baptized.
"It's the biggest decision anybody will ever make. I had been waiting and waiting. It was very important for me to make the decision."

Dolphins running back Reggie Bush becomes a free agent after the season, but he doesn't want to go anywhere.
"I would love to be back here," Bush told FOX Sports Florida after Sunday's win. "I don't want to keep bouncing around from city to city. I would love to be here."
Bush said he wants to stay in Miami in part because he believes this team — which is currently 5-6 and a long shot to make the playoffs — is close to building a title contender.
"I really enjoy building something special," Bush said. "I want to bring a Super Bowl to Miami and kind of restore some of that greatness about the Miami Dolphins. So I look forward to it. It's like a project almost. You kind of want to build something from scratch. That's the same thing we did in New Orleans; we built that team from scratch. I look forward to doing the same thing."
Bush is optimistic. It's been a long time since the Dolphins, who haven't won a playoff game since 2000, have been mentioned as a team that's headed toward the Super Bowl.

John Berlinger Breaux (pronounced /ˈbroʊ/; born March 1, 1944) is a former United States senator from Louisiana who served from 1987 until 2005. He was also a member of the United States House of Representatives from 1972 to 1987. He was considered one of the more Conservative national legislators from the Democratic Party. Breaux was a member of the New Democrat Coalition.
Breaux was born in Crowley, Louisiana, on March 1, 1944. He graduated from the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now called the University of Louisiana at Lafayette) in Lafayette in 1964 and from Louisiana State University Law School in Baton Rouge in 1967. After graduation, he practiced law, and then served as an assistant to U.S. Representative Edwin Edwards. He also is a member of Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity.
Breaux was elected as a Democrat to the 92nd United States Congress in a special election on September 30, 1972, to fill the vacancy caused by Edwards' resignation. At the age of 28, he was then the youngest member of the House of Representatives. Breaux was re-elected to the seven succeeding Congresses and served until January 3, 1987. He was not a candidate for re-election to the House of Representatives in 1986, but was instead elected as a Democrat to the United States Senate in 1986. In the 1986 jungle primary, Breaux finished second (447,328 or 37.3 percent) to Sixth District Republican Congressman W. Henson Moore, III, of Baton Rouge (529,433 or 44.2 percent). State Senator Samuel B. Nunez polled another 73,504 votes (6.7 percent). In the general election, Breaux turned the tables on Moore: 723,586 (52.8 percent) to 646,311 (47.2 percent), a margin of 77,275 ballots. Thereafter, Moore took a sub-Cabinet position with the administration of George H. W. Bush, and Breaux took the Senate seat that he would hold for eighteen years. Breaux was not seriously opposed in the 1992 and 1998 elections.

This is the best combination of pole-mount tree pruning tools that
we have found.
A. The fiberglass pole extends from 64" to a full 118" long
and can be locked at any spot. The non-conductive pole is much safer
to use than an aluminum pole, and stronger than a wooden pole. It provides
a maximum effective reach of 16' for an average person standing safely
on the ground.
B. The pruner head has a true bypass blade that provides a
much cleaner cut than most pole pruners. It also has a triple-action
pulley for extra power to easily cut through green or dry wood up to
1-1/4" in diameter. This model required the least effort of all pole
pruners we tested.
C. To handle larger branches, we offer a superb saw to mount
on the end of the pole. The 17" blade cuts on the pull stroke and has
a 14" working surface to properly cut through branches up to 7" in diameter.
The Japanese-style tooth pattern cuts cleanly and quickly, letting you
remove even the largest branches in record time. An undercutting blade
helps to prevent tear-out, and the top hook not only prevents accidental
disengagement from the saw cut, but also lets you grab and pull branches
down or out of the way. Both the blade and the hook are sharp enough
to remove small branches that may stand in the way.
We offer each element separately, as well as a set at a discount.

|Hi Guys,
After installing my 2,2 renovated engine i really understand why people says that stroking the engine is the single best thing to do to increase performance, Torque is dramatically imroved.
My only problem is that it is smoking a lot during acceleration ( blue smoke)
I received the bottom end of the engine rebuild and the cylinderhead also rebuild but not mounted.
Looking down the cyl there was clear honing marks.( I do not know if the rings were changed)
Cylinderhead looked good with a few new valves ( indicates t me that someone have gone through the troubles and checked the Clarences in the valve guides etc)
There is no oil sealings on the valves,- is that even available for the 907 engine?
Compression on all 4 cylinders is 190 psi just by using the starter to crank the engine and with throttles fully open.
It starts , idles and runs very nicely , with only a little explosions from the exhaust on the overrun. Carbs are 45 dellortoes .
I have taken of the inlet manifold to check the inlet valves and the stems looks nice and dry.
Engine venting from the cranck housing is breathing ( it is connected to the airlifted box ) The vent from the valve cover is creating a little more vapor
Any Ideas on where to continue looking , I would hate to swap back the old 2.0 engina as the 2.2 is a real improvement in terms of performance.

|Hi Kim,
Chances are that it will use oil for several thousand miles untill it is fully run in. Most modern engines don't require the full regime and only advise you to avoid full throttle for the first five hundred miles or so.
Stay off synthetic or semi synthetic oil for at least three thousand or the bores will never bed in. Take it easy for the first few hundred and gradually increase rpm and load over the next few thousand miles, trying to vary as much as practical. Once it's fully run in they still use more oil than modern engines most of the recent ones I have had don't use any between services - up to 20k in some cases.

|Hi Gordon,
I run it on Mineral oil 15/40. And the smoke is a lot, not in idle but during acceleration 2-3000 rpm . I have only done 200 km since the rebuild, so maby I should just continue to run it for some longer trips to see if the blue smoke clears :-)

|The "run it easy for two thousand miles" break-in routine is disputed, there is at least one other school of thought. Below is probably not the best reference, but it advocates the method I believe in.
I have also met train guys who say that when the diesel locomotives starts using oil the best thing to do is to load them hard for a day or two, that usually takes care of any glazing on cylinder walls.

|Hi Joachim,
Interesting reading.
On my old Bikes I have used something in between.
Running it through the gears, but gradually increasing RPM´s being very carefull to not let the engine pull from to low revs and keep changing the load on the engine.
However never full throttle for the first 3-5 runs:-)
I have purchased a USB endoscope and attached a Photo of cylinder 2. I clearly shows a little oil on the rear left side of the piston.
Can this come from the piston rings / or from the valves?
Is there a chance it will stop when the Rings have bedded in.
Or should i take out the engine and physically check the rings.
I have not mounted the pistons myself.
Please consider that I have 190PSI compression pressure on all 4 cylinders:-)

|Hi Joachim,
Loads of variables here petrol diesel air cooled or liquid cooled. Personally I would think that as the compression pressure is even at 190 then the rings and valves are ok for an engine that has just been built, glazing should not be an issue as the bores were honed 300km ago. The main thing is getting it up to working temperature so that the clearances are correct.

|just curious...what type of rings were installed? cast iron, chrome moly, anything "special"?
I know this is a stretch, but would you be able to do a leak down test on your engine?

|Found the error.
I ran the engine for a little while closed the throttle and just rolled to a stop in 2 gear,then immediately removed the inlet manifold. I found oil on the inlet valves in 2 cylinders.( a nice little amount)
I guess that the engine goes out again for a cylinder head job.
Is it possible to install oil sealings on the stems / guides?

|I have seen valve guides with seals from various sources.
The engine oil should be 20-50. This should help a bit until the head work can be done.

|The 907 is not supposed to have valve guide seals. The engine is designed for high rpm operation, and that requires adequate lubrication for the valves. If the guides are worn, installing seals might stop the smoking, but it also gives up the lubrication the valves need. If you're going to granny drive it to get groceries, go with the seals. If you wish to drive it as it was intended to be driven, fix the root cause problem... the valve guides and/or the valves (worn stems).
190 psi compression pressure is very good, so I suspect the rings and valve seats are sealing very well. Jensen-Healey specified checking the compression cold, and Lotus specified hot. For the same engine, hot produces higher pressure readings than cold does.
8.4:1 cr = 7.58 - 8.96 bar (110 - 130 psi) COLD = Jensen-Healey spec
8.4:1 cr = 10.2 - 11.6 bar (150 - 170 psi) HOT = Lotus spec
9.5:1 cr = 11.2 - 12.6 bar (165 - 185 psi) Hot
9.44:1 cr = 11.2 - 12.6 bar (165 - 185 psi) Hot
10.9:1 cr = 11.5 - 13.0 bar (170 - 190 psi) Hot
Are the cylinder liners iron or Nikasil coated aluminum? The 190 psi implies the engine is a 1985-92 912HC, which is a Nikasil liner engine. If so, then the 10.9:1 compression, 180 Hp, and 166 Lbs-ft of torque would be a nice bump over the stock J-H 907.

|Hej Tim,
Engine is supposed to be a 1979 907 standard engine with the standard liners( they are iron- magnetic) / pistons, Liners is honed but I do not know weather the rings have been changed.
Crankshaft and rods are coming from a Bedford of some kind?
I meassured compression ratio to 9,5:1. Cams are something similar to 107/104 ( Reprofiled cams)
I measured my compression Cold by screwing the manometer into the plug hole, opening the throttle fully and crank the engine using the starter, until the reading stops increasing.
I think I will change the oil to a 20/50 mineral before i take out the engine.

The car is NOT for Granny Driving.
In my opinion also old motors is supposed to be used as intended.
It will definitely see the red line once it has proven that it is dureble.

|Good, they're more fun above 4500 rpm anyway.
The 104/107 cam combination is the same as was used in the 912 HC. I've not driven that combination, but I have twin 104 cams in one otherwise pretty stock 907, and twin Dave Smith DS2 cams in a hotrod 2.2 907, and both will happily scream right past redline. If the internals are built for it, the cams will pull 8000 rpm. The 107 cam... not so much. But the exhaust cam is less of a factor in determining the engine's personality, and the 104/107 combination is still pretty sporty.
Do you know if the Bedford crank is cross-drilled? The non cross-drilled crank isn't prone to running bearings at first flog. But the cross-drilled crank with the bearing shells that go with it are more durable if you're going to be using it's capability regularly. My 2.2 has a cross-drilled crank, but my two 2.0s are non cross drilled. Lotus Elite, Eclat & Excel (LC) were considered more civilized, and got non cross drilled cranks. The Esprit S1-S2, the Excel SE, and Turbo 910 were considered more boy-racer, and got cross-drilled cranks.
The 190 psi 'COLD' is high for 9.5:1. Lotus specified 190 psi 'HOT' for the 10.9:1 CR... but don't complain, higher is better.
If the cylinder head has been skim cut for flatness (.020" max allowed for the 907), the result would have been about a half a point increase in compression ratio (9.5:1 becomes 10.0:1).
On the other hand, the modern composite head gasket's crushed thickness is about 0.020" more than the original gasket, so it lowers the compression by a similar amount.

|I have no idea on how the bottom end is built . It was done from the Guy in Uk from who I bought the engine :-(
How do I tell whether the Crank is cross drilled and have the right bearings, is it easy to see if I open it up any way ?
If I pull the engine out again and need to install my old engine I need to sort an issue with the belt tightening wheel . The bolt is pulling a little to the left when I tighten the belt. The thread in the engine block is not so good.
I have a semi automatic tightener but I cannot find out how to mount it. It looks like I am missing threaded hole in the engine.
Is there anyone who have som photos / schematics showing how it is mounted. ?

Pulling the cylinder head for a rebuild has nothing to do with the bottom end. Deciding to tear it apart just to check whether the crank is cross-drilled or not is totally unrelated, and optional. A non cross-drilled crank is not a fatal flaw, and is not necessary for an engine that is street-driven in a way that doesn't result in you knowing every judge on a first name basis. True, if you plan to flog it hard as a part of your daily driving style, then a cross-drilled crank and the lower bearing shells that go with it would be better.
If the engine had individual main bearing caps, like most engines, then you could simply drop the sump, pull one cap, and take a look. However, the 9XX engines use one large Main Bearing Panel that captures all the journals at once. Removing it pretty much requires disassembling the bottom end. From what you have described, I don't think it's worth your effort. Instead, ask the guy who built it.
"IF" you do tear it down for a look, then journals 1, 2, 4 & 5 of a cross-drilled crank will have two holes in the journal, 180 degrees apart. They are the opposite ends of the one drilling that passes all the way through... you can slip a slender rod (screw driver) through it.
A non cross-drilled crank will have only one hole in those same journals. It's drilled at an angle to the rod journal.
The lower bearing shells are for a cross-drilled crank are plain. No oil hole. No oil distribution groove. That's the point of cross-drilling. It allows the surface area of the lower bearing shell to be maximized to support the piston & rod's downward thrust forces by not giving up area to oil distribution. Then the cross-drilled passage in the crank takes care of distributing the oil.
For a non cross-drilled crank, the lower bearing shells all have a central groove to distribute oil. It does it's job well, but takes away some surface area that would otherwise be available for supporting piston & rod thrust loads.
In all 907s, the upper bearing shells have both a groove and a hole.

You'll need to allow a week for new parts shipping, and the shop may have a job waiting list. The parts shipping time will probably fit into the waiting list time. If you pull the head, get it rebuilt, and put it back on, the engine will not be out of service long enough to justify re-installing the old engine. Don't bother. Just pick one path, and git 'er done.

This sounds to me like the valve stem to guide clearance is excessive, i.e. it needs new guides and possibly some valves. I would not recommend using valve stem seals, the 'bucket' tappet setup already restricts oil to the valve stems.
Also, is there any reason not to rebuild the head from the original engine? Have that head reworked then spend a Sunday afternoon swapping heads. Well, since you'll need to adjust the valves make that a Saturday and Sunday.

(Snip)... I need to sort an issue with the belt tightening wheel . The bolt is pulling a little to the left when I tighten the belt. The thread in the engine block is not so good.It sounds like you're talking about an eccentric tensioner here. All later J-H Mk II 907s, and all Lotus 9XX engines with eccentric tensioners use a stuc to mount the eccentric. I've not worked on a J-H Mk I (rope seal) 907, but my J-H parts manual calls out a stud and nut for mounting the eccentric. Does your engine actually have a bolt, or was that a casual mis-use of the term?
In general, it's a bad idea to use bolt for a high stress, repetitive application in an aluminum part. The soft aluminum threads will take the brunt of the abuse, and wear or strip in time. A better solution is a stud, since for most applications, it's a one-time installation. Then the repetitive wear part of the assembly is taken by the studs steel threads, and little wear takes place.
If the 'bolt' can wobble about, then it sounds like the threads require a repair insert. In that case, a threaded barrel insert (like a Time-Sert) is superior to a more common Heli-Coil.
The stud needs to be perpendicular to the block's front face, and drilling the hole to accept an insert is not a good job for a hand-held drill. Taking the block to a machine shop to have the threads properly inserted will require a complete tear-down.
As an alternative (it's worth a try), apply Blue Loctite 242 to the threads in the hole and on the 'stud'. Screw the stud into place and torque it to 20-25 Lbs-ft. Wipe off any Loctite that oozes out. Lightly wipe the eccentric with oil (especially it's bore) so that any Loctite residue you miss will not stick to it. Install the eccentric and tighten it's nut to 30 Lbs-ft. Allow it to sit undisturbed for 24 hours for the Loctite to fully cure. The tension should pull the stud up square to the surface, and the Loctite should hold it in position.
Remove the eccentric, then go about fully installing the timing belt.
