The Los Angeles Times recently ran a story about how classic Japanese car values are taking off in the market. Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe Fairlady Z is not just Japanese, it's a JDM homie, but does that help its price look like it's not a ripoff?
Okay now, let's not all freak out. Yes, yesterday's 1986 Dodge Caravan apparently did lead a pampered life, resulting in its being in otherworldly good shape. And yes, its seller was asking five Loonies shy of thirteen large for it. However, I can always count on you, and as expected that clean machine fell in a massive 92% Crack Pipe loss. Order was restored, planets realigned, and dogs returned to licking their balls.
You may not be in the family way necessitating anything as commodious as a van, but what if you did need something sporty that could also carry a small cadre of friends in a pinch? And what if in addition to those criteria, you were also a mailman (or woman)?
Today's 1975 Fairlday Z has come all the way over from Japan to fulfill those exact wants and needs. Rocking the 2+2 body that was elongated by 304mm and made taller by 10. The cut of the side windows' jib was also modified giving the greenhouse profile more than a passing resemblance to the 1970 Ford Mustang. It should be noted that - like Trix - the seats in the back of this sort of Z are strictly for kids.
This car is totally '70s JDM, rocking RHD, and bullet mirrors way out on the front fenders. It also has amber turn signal lenses in the rear clusters instead of the red of the U.S. cars. This is said to be a 1975 model, and were it an American it would be sporting massive battering rams. Instead it wears the thin blades of the 240Z.
Bodywork looks to be in fine shape with only a few boogers here and there. Wheels and tires are questionable choices, but are easily changed if they are not your scene. The interior however may need some attention as it presently has covers on everything you touch - seat, wheel, pedals - but again, all that is easy to fix. The dash is cracked in places, as are almost all at this age, but caps are available. I know, I have one on my S30.
The gearbox is a five-speed and this being a '75 that would be bolted up to a… You're absolutely right, it's a 1998-cc L20 straight six. Tell them what they've won, Johnny!
According to the car's info plaque this fuel-injected engine produces 130 PS (128 horsepower) or about 2o ponies shy of the output of the L28 in the American 280Z. It's weird looking under the hood on this car as everything looks eerily similar to my 240, only with some of the elements - battery, brake and clutch, etc - reversed. It's like it's Bizzaro World!
As is almost always the case, when converting a two-seater car to accommodate an additional pair in the back, the results can be ill-proportioned and far less than aesthetically pleasing. Take Jaguar's XKE 2+2 as an example - belch!
Datsun's Fairlady, and the 260/280Zs here in the states, didn't lose quite that much in the looks department when turned into a 2+2, but the added wheelbase does make them look like cartoon wiener dogs. The fact that this is a right-hand drive car that's as Japanese as floating sushi and tentacle porn may more than make up for that fact, but the question remains, is this low mileage (45,000km) Fairlady worth $27,000 American?
What's your take on this Fairlady for that that much, is that a fair deal? Or, does that make this an S30 that es no bueno?
You decide!

I'm trying to figure out how to create a BucketSort program, but I keep running into speed bumps. So far... I've created two arrayList
public static ArrayList mBucket = new ArrayList();//master bucket
public static ArrayList sBucket[] = new ArrayList[10];//sort buckets
and used a for loop on sBucket to create buckets 0-9. I ask the user to input any integer from 0 - 9999 and from that, I take what the user inputs and add it to mBucket.
Now this is where I get stuck. I understand the concept of bucketSort and that it uses multiple buckets to sort. From that, you end up with a sorted mBucket. I have a visual of what I am suppose to do but it is a bunch of if statement and for loops. For example:
for(int a = 0; a <= mBucket.size(); a++)
n = (String) mBucket.remove(0);
if(n.charAt(n.length()-1) == 0)
and so on. The loops would just continue from 0 - 9, checking each individual char position ( .charAt(4) would be position 3 in my case which is the ones place). So... I'm just wondering if there is an easier way to figure this bucket sort thing out??? Some help please.

Sports Illustrated picks Rockies 4th, predicts Angels win Series
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. — In case you had not seen it yet, Sports Illustrated is picking your fighting Rockies to finish, drum roll please … in fourth place in the NL West, but with a slightly better record than last year.
The Rockies were 73-89 in 2011. The prognosticators at SI pick them to finish 79-83 this season.
SI's pick to win the World Series? The Angels over the Giants.
Sports Ilustrated's cover boy for their baseball preview issue is, of course, Albert Pujols.
In the cover story, former teammate Lance Berman says: "Albert Pujols is the greatest hitter of all-time. When you look at what he's been able to do in the modern game–with pitching, modern bullpens, worldwide competition–he's put up numbers nobody else ever did. And he's done it in a park (Busch Stadium) that is very tough on home runs. Believe me, I only hit nine there last year but 22 on the road. Gap to gap, you have to crush a ball to get it out."

The good thing about Memorial Day this and recent years has allowed studios to trot out their catalog war titles on Blu-ray in one manner or another and it gives you a chance to revisit classics on high-definition or experience ones that may have slipped under the radar. I honestly did not give much thought or regard to Tigerland, otherwise known as the film that introduced Colin Farrell (The Recruit) to American audiences, but heard generally positive things about it. And in seeing the film for the first time, it's easy to understand why Farrell's performance impressed so many.
Set in 1971 Fort Polk, Louisiana, the soldiers are aware that at the end of basic training, they will likely go to Vietnam and that some, if not most, will die. Written by Vietnam Veteran Ross Klavan and directed by Joel Schumacher (Twelve), Farrell is Private Bozz, a soldier in and out of the stockade and military discipline and would appear to be a malcontent based on his history, though he seems to be more aware of the fate the company has than most. He strikes up a friendship with Private Paxton (Matthew Davis, The Vampire Diaries), and Bozz' perceived disruptive nature appears to be little more than common decency to others and even to a Drill Instructor. This nature ruffles the feathers of Private Wilson (Shea Whigham, Machete), who thinks Bozz is little more than a peacenik hippie who doesn't want to go to war. However the closer the company finds themselves going to Vietnam (and before that, a stage of called Tigerland where the recruits learn what fighting in Vietnam will truly be like), the rawer the emotions and friendships become.
In what might be the smartest decision the film makes, Schumacher and Klavan do not spend the time in Vietnam, but the mention of it is effective enough that the soldiers provide a convincing mix of dread or anticipation depending on the individual's perspective (think of it as a dark interpretation of Biloxi Blues). Bozz is aware that the stupid courageous and donkey strong are likely the ones that may perish first when they set boots down in the jungle, and for most of the film it's hard to avoid how convincing this is. Yet once in Tigerland (the first sign that Vietnam is inevitable for the troops), Wilson's strength despite his obliviousness may be something that Bozz needs a little bit of. He looks a little overmatched for his circumstances, which is stunning considering the first two acts of the film. Bozz frequently clashes with one of the Drill Instructors, but the Senior Instructor has been over in country and in a humanizing (yet slightly unbelievable) scene with Bozz, seemingly admits that some of the formalities during Basic Training are silly, yet past the formalities the practical nature of what is being taught will help all involved.
Farrell's willingness to show both sides of this in Bozz was a bold move for such a then-young actor and playing a southern man in Louisiana without language training, he manages to pull off the accent rather convincingly. Along with Davis and Whigham's performances, it's easy to understand why Farrell broke out as he did. Additionally, special mention should be made to Clifton Collins (Crank: High Voltage), who plays the Platoon Leader Private Miter. Having a "leadership position" in a wartime company would seem to be a foolhardy concept, yet he takes his position seriously, even as nobody takes him seriously in it. In a compelling moment of self-awareness, he talks to Bozz about how nobody seems to respect him, not just in the company but back home with his parents. Farrell may have taken the headlines coming out of the film for his work, but Collins was a close second.
The story has its moments of implausibility, yet the journey the characters take remains centered and for this former soldier, fairly relatable. In retrospect I regret not seeing Tigerland when it first came out, but getting this newfound chance, I've grown to respect and appreciate it both for the story and the performances of the young ensemble.
Tigerland is presented in an AVC-encoded 1.85:1 high-definition transfer that is admittedly a little tough to grade. Schumacher says in the commentary that the film was shot with gritty visuals in mind (hence the 16mm used for this), so not only is film grain present, it's abundant during viewing. However there are moments where you can spot DNR and edge enhancement which make viewing the image sharp when it's supposed to be rough. There might have been a new transfer struck for the Blu-ray release and while the thought is commendable, the execution is a little lacking.
DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 surround for the film, which considering the modest production values sounds good. There are moments (such as when the company is in a trench hiding from machine gun fire, or when they are at a firing range) where gunfire sounds crisp and clean with some occasional directional effects. Dialogue is strong in the center channel and requires no adjustment, and the ambient sounds of a rainstorm are clear in all channels and make for convincing immersion. Quality listening material here.
The extras from the previous disc are here, but there are some new extras also, starting with "The Real Tigerland" (21:44), where Klavan and other Vietnam and Tigerland vets recounts their stories of going through the camp, first impressions and what they thought of the place and of Fort Polk as a whole in basic training. Old stills are edited in with film and interview footage to make it feel vintage, and the memories are intriguing and well worth the view. Next is "Joel Schumacher: Journey to Tigerland" (10:07), where the director discusses how he came to the story and what he liked about it, and shares his memories on the cast and the preparations they undertook to get into shape for the film. "Ross Klavan: Ode to Tigerland" (10:55) features the writer and former Tigerland graduate as he talked about the options that some draftees had during Vietnam, and recalls how he wrote the story that became the film. Along with all of these is a vintage featurette (4:16) in which Schumacher talks up the film, story and cast for the prospective viewer.
Schumacher's commentary for the film is engaging and informative as he talks about how he shot the film and speculates on Klavan's writing motivations, and covers the times then and now. The historical context of Tigerland and Polk are touched upon and he shares some raves on the cast for a particular scene or sequence in the film. Fans of the film will like it, but this has enough educational value for the film student you might now. From there, "Casting Session" (6:29) shows us some audition footage of Farrell broken into four sections or you can play all of it, and two TV spots and a trailer close the disc out.
Tigerland might not be on the first shelf of heralded war films (it might not be in the second or third depending on who you ask), but the performances from those who have become familiar faces are worth exploring, even as the fates they face cannot be avoided. Technically the disc is a mixed bag, but the new extras push it over the hump than a ten-year old standard definition version. Worth double-dipping for those who have it, and definitely worth seeing if you haven't.

Cloud computing is changing the way we use computing and has the potential for significant economic and efficiency benefits. But the speed of adoption depends on how quickly trust in new cloud models can be established. Some of the growing cloud security concerns include: security of highly virtualized environments from targeted threats and attacks, enabling secure collaboration, protection of the data (isolation, sharing) in a rapid provisioning and de-provisioning environment while experiencing the loss of direct control of security compliance, and privacy parameters.

The 7-year-old boy who was killed in a Friday night single-vehicle crash on Colo. Highway 119 was not wearing a safety belt, according to the Colorado State Patrol.
CSP is continuing its investigation of the crash at the intersection of the Colo. 119 and Mineral Road in Boulder County, but says alcohol is suspected as being a factor.
The boy, whose identity has not yet been released by the Boulder County Coroner, but has been identified to KMGH by family as Vincente Nunez, was riding in the cargo area of a 1996 Ford Explorer and was partially ejected during the rollover accident, according to Colorado State Patrol Sgt. Mike Baker.
"There is no excuse for operating a vehicle without having their children restrained," Baker said.
The boy killed in the accident was Nunez-Luna's son, according to Baker, and all of those riding in the vehicle were related.
He was pronounced dead at Boulder Community Hospital.
The Ford Explorer, driven by 41-year-old Manual Nunez-Luna of Longmont, was northbound on Colo. 119 and approaching a red light at the intersection of Colo. Highway 52 at 9:22 p.m. The vehicle traveled through a red light and into the intersection before swerving to avoid crossing traffic, Baker said in a Saturday morning news release.
Although the Ford Explorer did not collide with any other vehicles, it rolled onto its left side.
Nunez-Luna, the driver, sustained minor injuries as a result of the crash. His other passengers — 36-year-old Yadira Silva, 19-year-old Mary Cruz-Lopez and four children ages 5 through 15, all from Longmont, also sustained minor injuries, Baker said.
A booking log for the Boulder County Jail shows a 41-year-old Manuel Nunez Jr. who was arrested by the state patrol on suspicion of DUI at 3:05 a.m. Saturday.
The passengers' seat belt use is under investigation, although at least two of the children, including the fatally injured boy, were not restrained, Baker said. Charges are pending.Baker said the Colorado State Patrol reminds motorists that all children must be restrained properly in car seats or booster seats or by seat belts, depending upon their ages, when riding in a motor vehicle.

Ceres, Inc.' Richard Flavell to Become Chief Scientific Advisor
THOUSAND OAKS, Calif., Oct. 11, 2012 -- Energy crop company Ceres, Inc. (Nasdaq: CERE) today announced that Richard Flavell, PhD., will transition from his position as Chief Scientific Officer and an executive officer of the company to a new role of Chief Scientific Advisor. Flavell will maintain his seat on the Ceres board of directors and now serve as an exclusive consultant to the company in the field of commercial bioenergy crops.
Flavell joined Ceres in 1998 and has been instrumental in the establishment and development of Ceres' core technology platforms in plant genomics and biotechnology. Most recently, he has also focused on outreach to the scientific community and public policymakers. He has published over 200 scientific articles, lectured widely and contributed significantly to the development of modern biotechnology in agriculture. In 1999, Dr. Flavell was named a Commander of the British Empire for his contributions to plant and microbial sciences and he is a Fellow of the Royal Society of London.
"On the occasion of my 69th birthday today, it seems fitting to take on both a new role at Ceres and among the scientific community where I have been privileged to serve and contribute," said Flavell. "Plant science has a key role to play in bringing biofuels to scale in a sustainable manner, and I believe that by maintaining my close connection to Ceres I can stay close to the leading edge of innovation."
"For a man who dedicated his career to the development of scientific knowledge and its practical application in the production of food, feed, fiber and, now, energy, these are exciting times," said Ceres President and CEO Richard Hamilton. "We look forward to his ongoing participation, both as a board member and a consultant, in the development and commercialization of the innovations he helped pioneer."
Ceres, Inc. (www.ceres.net) is an agricultural biotechnology company that markets seeds for energy crops used in the production of renewable transportation fuels, electricity and bio-based products. The company combines advanced plant breeding and biotechnology to develop products that can address the limitations of first-generation bioenergy feedstocks, increase biomass productivity, reduce crop inputs and improve cultivation on marginal land. Its development activities include sweet sorghum, high-biomass sorghum, switchgrass and miscanthus. Ceres markets its products under its Blade brand.

Tombstone Tuesday- A Leg Cemetery?
Leg Cemetery, Sterling, Massachusetts
I don't know if Leg is a surname, or perhaps the cemetery is only for body parts? I giggle everytime I pass by this cemetery located on Redemption Rock road. One famous person buried here is Robert B. Thomas (1766 - 1846), publisher of the Old Farmer's Almanac. He taught school in Sterling.

I looked it up in Dave Lambert's Guide to Massachusetts Cemeteries being suspicious that the lovely sign is incorrect. It is listed as Legg with a date of 1725.ReplyDelete
Midge, you are correct! But this sign has been here since I learned to read umpteen years ago (OK, over 40 years ago!)ReplyDelete
It doesn't matter to me which spelling it is, I think it's funny! :)ReplyDelete

Art Morrison Builds a Shop Truck
Art Morrison's reputation with drag racers started to grow in the '60s. He was known for being crazy enough to drive a wheelstander, talented enough to build a chassis for many NHRA record-setting Competition Eliminator cars, and savvy enough to create Art Morrison Enterprises to design, manufacture, and market chassis components and build turnkey race cars. He was also known to be a nice guy with a perpetual smile on his face.
By the time the '90s rolled around, the Pro-Street contingent had discovered AME's components and started using them on the street. By 2000, the business was still expanding and Art's son, Craig, came onboard. Within a few years the dynamic duo introduced a replacement chassis for '55 to '57 Chevrolets and the rest, as they say, was history. With a perfect ground-hugging stance and retina-separating cornering ability, the Tri-Five chassis were a hit. It wasn't long before the demand for chassis grew and their offerings included '49-54 and Tri-Five Chevrolets, '53-62 Corvettes, Camaros, GM A-bodies and now Chevy trucks (they also build one-off chassis for everything imaginable).
Morrison's new truck chassis is available in two forms—the Deluxe is a direct replacement for '47 to first-series '55 Chevy pickups ('54 and '55 must use the '53 and earlier bed). It features computer-designed IFS with coilovers, rack-and-pinion steering, and four-bar rear suspension with coilovers. All the body and bed mounts are in place making this as close to a plug-and-play installation as a chassis swap can be.
The second version of the truck chassis is called the Sport—it has a lower stance and the front suspension has increased caster and camber gain for more aggressive driving styles. To get the lower ride height the rear of the frame has a taller kick-up, which means the bed floor will have to be modified. The sport chassis is available with coilovers or airbags for those that want to really get on the ground.
Not long ago we dropped in on the Morrisons and found one of the first pickup chassis going under their new shop truck, a '50 Chevy that had undergone an amateur restoration at some point. The ½ ton was too nice to mess with and has just enough patina to be really old-school cool. With small-block Chevy power and a new Morrison chassis this will be one shop truck that will really haul.
1. Art Morrison Enterprises' new shop truck is based on a solid and clean '50 Chevy ½ ton. The exterior will stay as is, but underneath the Morrisons are up to their old tricks.
2. We caught Art Morrison installing Wilwood brakes while Craig Morrison drops the gas tank into AME's latest offering, an all-new chassis for '47 to first-series '55 Chevy pickups. Engineer Matt Jones was busy prepping the truck's new 350 Chevy.
3. It takes specialized equipment to smoothly bend rectangular tubing. This is the mandrel that slides through the inside of the tubing as it's bent, preventing wrinkles.
4. Note how smooth the bend is. This bend is called the "easy way." When the tubing is turned 90-degrees in the machine the bend is the "hard way." Thanks to the mandrel bender, they're smooth either way.
5. The new truck frames use stout 2x6x3⁄16-inch main rails while the ends are formed from 2×4-inch tubing. This is the splice where the side rails join the front frame section.
6. This is the where the rear section joins the main rail. All the assembly and welding is done in a dedicated fixture.
7. Morrison offers two versions of their '47-55 Chevy truck frames. This is the Deluxe rear section that fits under a stock bed.
8. The sport frame has a higher arch in the rear for a lower ride height. However the bed floor will require modification.
9. Here the front crossmembers have been installed along with the motor mounts. The upper A-frame mounts have yet to be added.
10-11. Morrison's quality design and craftsmanship is evident everywhere on these frames; we offer this bed and body mount as examples.
12. A completed frame is lifted out of the jig by one of the overhead cranes in the building. Note the construction of the fixture, stout is an understatement.
13. This is the Sport coilover front suspension. Note the hefty anti-roll bar includes three adjustments for roll stiffness.
14. Stopping power won't be an issue with Wilwood discs at all four corners. Up front are six-piston calipers with four-pistons in the rear. The wheels and tires are all 18×9½ with 275/40R18 tires on all four corners.
15. Power rack-and-pinion will make steering easy, but precise. Notice the width of the inner ends of the lower A-frames and the diagonal supports on the tubes for the pivot bolts.
16. In the rear we find four-bars, coilovers, and a Panhard bar. Note the reinforcement that has been added to the back of the rearend housing.
17. Morrison now offers a Wilwood master cylinder with a proportioning valve mount. Two pedal assemblies are available, one with a hydraulic clutch pedal, one without.
18. The Chevy crate motor was equipped with a host of Comp Cams components, MSD's Atomic fuel injection, and those cool valve covers.
19. To keep the cab's confines cool and quiet, Craig cut and fit Dynamat followed by a layer of Dynaliner.
20. To accommodate the fat rear wheels and tires, mini tubs were installed in the bedsides.
21. New bed wood was whittled by the senior Morrison after which Craig applied his special concoction of "aged in the shop" stain.
Stock Possibilities
During the development phase of their new chassis, the Morrisons realized that the new front crossmember and suspension components could be used not only between their aftermarket 'rails, but in between the stock GM counterpart as well. That gives an additional option for the early Chevy guys who'd like to retain the stock chassis.
1. For those who want to update a stock frame such as this, Morrison offers front and rear suspension kits.
2. This is Morrison's ingenious front crossmember kit for '47 to first-series '55 trucks. The boxing plates are attached to the crossmember and a fixture to locate the upper A-frame mounts is included.
3. The stock front crossmember requires some minor surgery and the upper framerails are trimmed for the boxing plates.
4. Positioning the new front crossmember properly is simply a matter of putting the boxing plates up against the original front crossmember for the rack and pinion.
5. With the notch cut in the framerail, the included filler plate can be welded in place.
6. With the crossmember in place, Jacob Lust attaches the fixture that locates the upper A-frame mounts.
7. Next the upper mounts are bolted to the fixture.
8. Properly located, the upper mounts are ready to be welded to the framerails.
9. With the addition of the motor mounts, the installation is completed.
10. If the front suspension looks easy, check out what happens in the rear. Two notches are cut in the framerails and the crossmember with the four-bar mounts drops in place to be welded. Add some coilovers and you're done.

Good news, Vikings fans! Head coach Brad Childress was fired! Just now! I think they made him pack up boxes and everything! NICE!
Finally, your long nightmare of poor clock management, unimaginative play-calling and inexplicable challenges has come to an end. There are many bad coaches in NFL history, but few were bad with the kind of nimcompoopish élan that graced all of Childress' worst moments. What other coach would choose the very end of the NFC title game to have 12 men on the field? What other mastermind of incompetence would have the foresight to trade a third-rounder for Randy Moss and then waive him at the first sign of insubordination? Oh, this was magical streak of awfulness, I tell you. One we may not see the likes of again.
Childress' replacement is defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier, who is not Brad Childress and is therefore destined to be a better coach than Brad Childress. Frazier will be taking over a team that is all but mathematically eliminated from postseason contention, and faces the 2011 season with a terrible offensive line, the potential departures of Sidney Rice, Chad Greenway, and Ray Edwards, and no long-term solution at the QB position. Oh, and the Vikings' Metrodome lease is up next year and they'll probably move if the team can't get enough support to build a new stadium, which is all but certain if they don't magically win a Super Bowl between now and then. FUN!
I remember when Childress was hired to replace Mike Tice, a pleasant ogre of a human being who always felt like an o-line coach promoted two levels too high. And I remember thinking, when Chilly was hired that at last, the Vikings had a PROFESSIONAL in charge of things. He had to be better than Tice. He had to be better than Denny Green's Crony-Go-Round. Surely, Childress would give the Vikings a certain football credibility they had sorely lacked all those years.
Oh, but I was wrong. I was so very, very wrong.
And now, there's little more to do than pick up all of Chilly's things and begin staring down a very long and dark road for a franchise that has spent the past four years living well beyond its means. Lockout or not, the Vikings are about to undergo a major reconstruction, one that isn't guaranteed of leaving them any better of than they were when Childress got here. It's what NFL teams do. They rebuild and rebuild and rebuild again in hopes of one day finding the exact right combination that leads to a title. Not every team is guaranteed to stumble upon such a winning formula. The Vikings have been trying for decades. And today, in the wake of an utterly disastrous season, it feels like they'll be trying for many more.
