Indy Cylinder Heads - Headed To IndyWritten by on January 1, 2004 Indy SR Heads-More Than Stock Replacements
All it took was a call from a long-time Mopar friend, Vic Palumbo. "Hey Dan, I bought a set of Indy SR [Stock Replacement] heads. Could you port and bolt 'em on my '67 GTX?" My reply: "Sure Vic-providing we could use your car for testing. The Indy SRs would have to prove themselves against a set of 906 heads with the typical modifications." Vic didn't realize the change would require new headers and an installation kit from Indy Cylinder Heads, which includes longer pushrods, an external oil line kit, and head bolts. One thing not included was the valley cover plate that would be necessary to perform the head swap. We ordered a set of TTI headers, specific for the Indy heads, along with a complete TTI exhaust system. Also ordered was the aforementioned install kit and valley cover from Indy. Vic's '67 already had sufficient hood clearance with a Hemi hoodscoop, and at this point we felt we were good to go on with the swap.
Before ponying up the jack for a set of Indy heads for your big-block, consider this: Your B/RB will need at least a 10:1 compression ratio, a high-lift, high-velocity cam (preferably a solid roller), a high-stall converter (matched to the cam, heads, and gearing), and steep gearing of 3.91s or better. The 440 in the GTX is a 10.5:1 Ray Barton Racing Engines (RBRE) short-block with a Comp Cams hydraulic cam with .501 inch lift, and a duration of 244 degrees at .050. The 906 heads came from a local machine shop with the larger 2.14/1.81 valves, light bowl work, and gasket matching. On the flow bench the iron heads were good for 241 cfm at .500 inch lift (flow stalled above .500 inch lift). Stock 906 heads with the 2.08/1.74 valves will usually flow 210-220 cfm at .500 inch lift.
Max Port
Our original intentions were to fully port and polish the Indy SRs, back-cut the intake valves, and retain the stock 906-size intake port openings. We brought the aluminum castings-one ported and one stock-to the RBRE facility in nearby eastern Pennsylvania. Mike Barton flowed the SRs (Mike has flowed and ported many Indy heads), and back-cut the intake valves to 28 degrees. Satisfied with the flow numbers, we called Russ Flagle at Indy Cylinder Head (ICH) about our results. Russ highly recommended we enlarge the port openings to the Max Wedge size. Max Wedge ports are typically 1/2 inch taller than a stock 906 port. We also removed .150 inch from the pushrod pinch area and blended that area as well. The Max Wedge-size port openings raised the flow numbers at low, mid, and high lift through the roof (see charts). Indy sells the SRs already CNC-ported with the Max Wedge-size intakes. This will save you many hours of porting.
We wanted to reuse the Edelbrock Performer RPM intake, and gasket match it to the Max size. The problem is, there's not enough material to do so. This prompted us to use the Indy 440-2D RB dual-plane intake. This intake features taller runners and larger ports, but is similar in design to the Performer RPM, which utilizes stock 906-size port exits. Fortunately, the Indy intake had plenty of material for us to port match to the Max Wedge size. This street/strip intake delivers a high, broad torque range with excellent throttle response-great for street-driven cars. The same 850 Speed Demon carburetor was employed for all strip and dyno duties.
Install And Combo
So far, the head swap required the Indy intake installation kit and TTI headers, because the Indy exhaust ports are 3/4 inch higher and 1/2 inch wider than stock ports. Earlier we mentioned a high-velocity cam would be advantageous in promoting air velocity with Indy's larger intake ports. So we tossed the stock 1.5-ratio rockers in favor of Indy's 1.6-ratio roller-tip rockers. We also enlisted a pair of Indy's thick-wall rocker shafts. The SRs can use any stock-type replacement adjustable rocker, and there is no need for expensive offset rockers. The 1.6 rockers will help the .501-inch-lift Comp cam to act like it has .530 inch valve lift while speeding up the valve and airflow.
The changeover to the Indy SRs was as simple as bolting on a pair of stock heads, with the exception of the Indy valley plate. It must be bolted on before the heads are installed. Remember that upgrading from 906s to Indys does require longer pushrods and the installation of an external oil line kit for the rocker assembly. We were impressed by how well the Indy intake ports aligned with the ports on the heads.
Initially, we set up the hydraulic lifters at zero preload then turned the rocker adjusters in another quarter turn. The quarter-turn setting made for a noisy valvetrain, even after a 20-minute warm-up. Ken Lazarri at ICH suggested we try a three-quarters to a full turn from zero lash. At three-quarters of a turn the valvetrain was quiet and the 440 was more responsive than ever.
The revamped RB was warmed up and checked for any possible fluid leaks. A half-hour ride was taken to bring everything up to operating temp. Then the oil and filter were changed. The oil we used was Mobil1 synthetic 15-50 weight. The carb was adjusted and the idle was set at 1,100 rpm. The timing was set the same as it had been with the 906s (42 degrees total, and all in by 2,000 rpm). The shakedown drive on the back roads near the shop told us the Indy heads greatly increased the all-around powerband, especially at 5,000 to 6,000 rpm according to our seat-of-the-pants dynamometer.
Baseline testing with the 906 heads on the chassis dyno at SLP Performance Parts showed us 366 hp at 5,600 rpm at the rear wheels.
The Indy 433
We were anticipating substantial gains from the Indy heads, therefore it was back to the SLP dyno to see how much we really gained. On our baseline pull we were impressed to find we gained 60 peak horsepower at the same 5,600 rpm. Peak torque was up 20 lb-ft at the same 4,200 rpm. The powerband was broadened so much, the 440 made 90 more horsepower at 6,000 rpm. With the stock heads, power dropped off after peaking at 5,600 rpm.
We wanted our dyno time to be useful, so we brought along a timing light, a box of carb jets, a Wilson four-hole tapered carb spacer, and a K&N X-Stream air-cleaner lid. Our first effort toward tuning for more power was in the timing department. Baseline timing was 42 degrees, then 38, then 35, and finally we found seven more horses at 40 degees total timing. Peak power was now up 67 hp (433 hp at 5,600 rpm) over the ported 906 heads.
Next, the chrome air-cleaner lid was swapped for a K&N X Stream airflow top. The K&N lid increased the throttle response, torque, and horsepower. Power was up 6 hp and 6 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm. Strangely enough, peak horsepower at 5,600 rpm remained the same. Average horsepower and torque numbers were up between 4,000 and 6,000 rpm (See charts). The K&N X Stream is a tested winner in lowering e.t.'s, and now it added horsepower on the dyno.
The 906 and Indy heads' baselines were done with the same 1-inch open spacer under the Demon 850 carb. We swapped the open spacer for a Wilson Manifolds tapered four-hole spacer. In previous strip and engine dyno testing, the Wilson spacer has demonstrated respectable e.t. reductions and increased power. This time, the proven spacer gained us 10 hp and 12 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 rpm over the open-hole spacer. Horsepower and torque were up across the board, but ironically remained the same from 5,500 to 6,000 rpm.
The K&N X Stream air-cleaner lid and the Wilson spacer helped us out enough to move on to the carburetion. We expected the 850 Demon's 84 primary and 88 secondary jetting to be on the rich side (a puff of black smoke exited the pipes when nailing the throttle). Leaning out the secondaries to 85s lost us 8 hp. A pair of 90s was then tried, but power was still down. With that, we returned the jetting to the initial 84 and 88, which restored maximum power to the rear wheels.
This swap to the Indy SR heads delivered a knockout punch beyond our expectations. Imagine the difference if we had tested them against a stock set of heads, either 906 or 452 castings. Moving to a more aggressive cam and a bigger carb would have surely given us a mid-10-second, pump-gas street car. Of course, for now, that's merely speculation. If you decide to use Indy heads on your B/RB, be sure to plan your combination wisely and don't try to put these heads on a low-compression motor and expect big gains.

The Indy head on the bottom has noticeably larger valve bowls than a stock 906. Also notice on the Indy head the intake port to the left has been ported while the one on the right has not. Even a fully ported cast-iron 906 or 452 head is not as good as a stock Indy SR. The Indy features angled plugs (toward the exhaust valve) and a heart-shaped combustion chamber, which makes this head more efficient.The Indy head (on the right) features intake ports that are 1/2 inch higher than stock, which will promote better airflow and raise the intake manifold 1/2 inch (be sure to check hood clearance). Because of this, an Indy valley pan is also needed. Stock-style intakes, rocker shafts, rocker arms, and valve covers will work with the Indy heads.The raised exhaust ports on the Indy heads will require custom headers to be used (we ordered a set of from TTI). The rocker shaft pedestals raise the rocker shaft assembly approximately 1/2 inch higher. This equates to a set of longer pushrods as well to run the Indy heads.Here we can see how the Indy exhaust port flange is 1/2 inch further out than the stocker. The manifolds or headers will sit outward 1/2 inch (another reason why custom headers are needed). Keep in mind the Indy exhaust ports are much more efficient at exhaling the waste to deliver more horsepower through fewer pumping losses.The intake port on the left is stock. The SR comes bowl-blended where the hardened-steel valve seat meets the aluminum. The intake port on the right was fully bowl-blended, polished, and the valveguide boss trimmed. Not seen is the short turn of the port floor that was polished with 100- then 220-grit sanding rolls.(A)The intake port on the left shows the pushrod pinch area. We ground .200 inch from the pushrod pinch (beware of core shift). (B) We checked and still had about .120 inch thickness (.100 inch is the absolute minimum) before polishing the entire port with 100-grit barrel rolls.
A 28-degree back-cut was given to each intake valve at Ray Barton Racing Engines' facility. Back-cutting the intake valve always improves the low- and mid-lift flow. This modification also improves throttle response and drivability.The Max Wedge gaskets demonstrate the smaller 906 intake-port size. Gasket matching raises the roof of the ports 1/2 inch higher. Flowbench numbers went through the roof after we opened the heads to Max Wedge size. The Indy intake also received port matching, but at .050 inch smaller than the gasket all around. This can prevent air turbulence, a possibility when the motor is bolted together.One major difference before bolting on the Indy heads is to install the Indy valley plate first. The valley cover is sealed with RTV at the end rails and where the head's deck surface meets the edge of the valley plate. We regret we didn't opt for the two-piece removable valley plate for future cam swaps so it can be done without removing the heads.The Indy SRs bolted right up to seal and capture the valley plate. Notice the large Max Wedge-size intake port openings. Box stock, these castings flowed 288 cfm at .700 inch lift. With extensive porting and polishing, they flowed 357 cfm at .700 lift. Even in stock form, these heads are proven performers.]Adjustable rockers are a must to achieve proper lifter preload (hydraulic) or valve lash (solid). We moved up to 1.6-ratio rockers from Indy. This meant the .501-lift Comp Cams stick would have .531 lift at the valve with the 1.6 rockers. The 1.6-ratio rockers will also aid the air velocity going through the larger-than-stock ports. Out of focus are the external oil lines at the rear of the heads.Once the timing was set, we decided to do some air cleaner testing. The same 850 Demon Carburetor and 4-inch K&N filter with chrome lid were employed for baseline pulls with the iron and aluminum heads. Changing to the K&N X Stream air-cleaner lid netted us 6 hp and 6 lb-ft of torque at 4,700 rpm.Here's a before-and-after look at the headers and exhaust. (A) The production-headed 440 headers from Hooker (1 7/8-inch into 3-inch collectors) and the muffler shop 3-inch, compression-bent exhaust would not fit the B-Body once the Indy heads were bolted on.(B) The TTI headers (for Indy heads), feature 2- to 2 1/8-inch primary tubes into 3 1/2-inch collectors. The TTI mandrel-bent exhaust system bolted up and fit perfectly. TTI's headers and exhaust components are top quality, durable, and feature ease of installation. The TTI setup looks much cleaner in fit and finish with a polished ceramic coating and aluminized exhaust. We're certain the TTI components were worth more horsepower too with stepped headers, balance tube, and mandrel bending.On top of the Wilson Manifolds box is its famous strip- and engine-dyno tested, four-hole, tapered spacer. We removed its 1-inch open spacer and replaced it with its four-hole tapered spacer. This spacer switch added 10 hp and 12 lb-ft of torque at 4,300 rpm. Throttle response and drivability was much improved as well.
We tried leaning and richening the air/fuel mixture, but went back to the original jettIng for max power. Dyno tuning helps street driving as well as lower e.t.'s.A gear change from 3.55s to 3.91s was a logical choice to take advantage of the wider, stronger, and higher powerband since the Indy head install. On the left is the 489 third member fresh out of the GTX with the spring-loaded, cone-clutch-type differential. On the right is a beefier, 489 unit built by Randy's Ring and Pinion. It features a solid-type spacer sleeve, clutch-type Powr-Lok differential, U.S. Gear 3.91 gearset, and Timken bearings. Red Line synthetic 75W90 gear oil and limited-slip break-in additive will provide great gear protection, reduce temperatures, and improve differential efficiency.

Restaurant review: The Jugged Hare, EC2
15:28 28 May 2012
For those who don't know, Jugged Hare is an archaic British dish in which a whole hare is cut into bits, then marinted and cooked in a tall jug.
And it is very much this traditonal style of cooking that informs the menu and ethos of the newish pub restaurant of the same name.
Stuffed animals look down on you from every wall, and as you descend to the dining room the building's history as an old brewery is evident in the arched, white-tiled ceiling, industrial- looking light fittings and copper pipes dotted around the place.
The menu is very meaty and gamey, and it is probably not the restaurant of choice for vegetarians.
One section of the carte is devoted to spit-roasted flesh, another to the thrill of the grill, a third to fish and the last to medieval style dishes like pigeon and braised rabbit.
Restaurant info:
The Jugged Hare, 49, Chiswell Street, EC1Y 4SA Tube: Barbican Tel: 020 7614 0134 Web: www.thejuggedhare.com Mains: from £13 Wine: from £12.50 a bottle Children: Yes Disabled access: Yes.
We began with a medley of brown and white crab with mayonnaise and toast, which was light and satisfying.
Alongside this we tucked into sautéed chicken livers and a fried pheasant egg – an altogether richer proposition, but none the less pleasant for it.
Despite the rotisserie and grilled meat looking incredibly tempting, we decided to go for something more synonymous with the place – a pot roast quail with bacon, mushrooms and potatoes. Like many of the dishes, it was served in it's own very attractive eathernware vessel from which you serve yourself.
The whole quails were tender, and had a much more complex flavour than chicken. With the smokey bacon and toothsome broth they made for an excellent winter warmer – very apt for the thus far inclement summer.
Across the table, my guest had the monkfish, which had intriguingly been started on the spit, before being transferred to the oven.
The flesh was cooked to flakey excellence and the sauce was a luxurious caviar butter, which was very good but a strong constitution was required to finish the whole thing, such was it's creaminess.
We had cabbage and bacon and garlicky parsnip gratin on the side, both of which found themselves the object of my affection.
Replete though we were, there was still room for some honey ice cream and lemon junket – the latter a delicate palate cleanser and the former an indulgent sweet.
Also worthy of note is the house red, which is blended by the owners on their frequent visits to Langudoc in France. At £18 a bottle, it was very good indeed.
The Jugged Hare has an intriguing blend of old-fashioned meals with a modern approach to cooking, presentation and flavour. And while it is slightly more expensive than you average gastropub it is also different and definitely a cut above.

Fat Lot Of Good for a 1946 Ford ConvertibleWritten by on January 13, 2006 Damon Estes' '46 Ford Convertible
Between the time we shot these photos and right now, Damon Estes' fat black '46 has changed hands, not once but a couple of times, which surprised us until we learned a little more about Damon and a little more about the cool convertible that was his for a short period of time.
First, about Damon. This is a guy who goes through cars quicker than he goes through toothbrushes. "I'm a trader," he says. "I build the car the way I want, I drive it for a year or so, and then I'm ready to move on to something else." His list of rides prior to owning the '46 goes on and on, including Fords and Chevys from all over the '30s, a few early-'60s Chevys, and a '61 Cadillac. As for the fat-fendered '46, it's had more owners than a swap meet carburetor. Damon figures it had been built for 10 year or so when he traded a '36 Ford cabriolet for it at the Street Rod Nationals in Louisville. There wasn't much Damon wanted to change on his latest ride, with the exception of replacing the steelies with a set of five-spoke Americans, changing the steering wheel, upgrading the stereo, and improving the airbag suspension system to give the car a more assertive stance.
The powertrain was in place, the body modifications had been made, and the lipstick-red tuck 'n' roll upholstery and '60 Chevy dash (the signature element on this mild custom) were already setting off the interior. Translation: Damon was able to put the car on the road almost immediately. In the two years he owned it, he clocked more than 10,000 miles, accumulated mostly through trips of 500 miles or less. "It was the type of car where I could leave home at 6 o'clock in the evening after I got off work, just get in it and go, and drive half the night and be comfortable in it."
Of course, the '46 got a lot of attention wherever it went, and has taken its share of awards, but Damon has never been into the trophy scene, so he doesn't really remember exactly which ones he's won. "All of my cars have been great drivers, but no Boyd's Picks. The best awards I've ever had are some pictures in a few magazines."
Two years after trading for the '46 at the Nats, Damon took it back to Louisville and sold it. It's been sold again since then-and redone a bit. In the meantime, Damon's already been through a few other cars, including a '32 three-window, a '37 flatback, and the '53 Chevy convertible he's working on right now. So, there are obviously no regrets for a compulsive rod and custom trader regarding the one-of-a-kind convertible he once owned ... are there? "Yes and no," he admits. "Sometimes I wish I hadn't sold it, but I know that if I had it back, it'd be for sale again."
Damon Estes
Piedmont, Alabama
'46 Ford Convertible
The 454 is a low-horsepower version out of a mid-'80s Chevy pickup, rebuilt to stock specifications and fed with an Edelbrock four-barrel and factory manifold. It has been dressed up with a chrome air cleaner and chrome ball-milled valve covers. Stock exhaust manifolds were capped with Flowmaster mufflers. An '86 Turbo 400 automatic spun the 2.73:1 gears in the '82 Chevy rearend. Damon said he could go all day long with the air on and not run past 180 degrees.
The previous owner made most of the modifications to the original '46 frame, scavenging a '72 Nova for the front clip, which was narrowed 2 inches, and retains the power steering and sway bars, as well as spindles and front discs. Rear disc brakes are from a Cadillac. An Air Ride suspension system was one of the first modifications made when Damon got the car.
Wheels & Tires
Those big black fenders needed something bright inside them-a job accomplished with 17-inch Torq-Thrusts, set off with three-spoke spinners. Goodyear Eagle radials measure 255/60R17 and 215/5R17.
Body & Paint
Credit the original builder for some beautiful bodywork, including the running boards pulled into the body and doors extended out. The original front and rear bumpers were narrowed and pulled inward. Door handles were shaved and the hood and trunk lid smoothed, but chrome beltline trim, headlight bezels, parking lights, and grille were kept to break up large expanses of jet black sheetmetal.
It gets really red on the inside-a bold-looking contrast to all that black and chrome on the outside. The stock front and rear benches were wrapped in red Naugahyde, with black piping, but the real attention-getter is the '60 Chevy dash. Damon estimates that 3 inches were sliced out of the center to make it work. VDO instruments fit right into the gauge pods. Damon added the Colorado Custom.

Okay then, new question: What is the C-5 frame going to be like? Is that also an Electra frame, only further modified even than the G-5? Is it all new? Will there be panniers/saddlebags available for it soon?
That's a really good question, cause the Electra frame is kinda.... well, "ugly" over the rear wheel, without the standard seat, but the C5 doesn't appear to be that way. Maybe the C5 is a "classic" frame, or an Electra frame with a different rear 1/4?

I have got to say, a lot of you are a *little* bit biased here...
First off, nowadays, there are barely, if at all, any guitar sellers on TradeTang OR DHgate that claim that they are selling the legitimate item. Not only that, but most sellers would gladly change the guitars in any way you ask, free of charge, in order to make you, the customer happy. You cannot say the same thing about any guitar company around here.
Second, I cracked and purchased a 12 string Rickenbacker-like copy off of dhgate... great decision. Why? Because all of the electric 12 string guitars sold in North America are way to friggen expensive to justify buying a guitar for just one or two songs. And guess what? The quality was really good, in fact it was far better quality than one would expect after paying $275 cdn (always free shipping btw). The guitar DID have a crappy replicated "R" on the tailpiece, which I asked them to remove... AND they did. Everything was wired nicely, there were no imperfections and the craftsmanship was amazing. The pickups weren't GREAT but I'd have definitely played live with them had I not replaced them with better ones.
Thirdly, I understand there is "Intellectual property" involved with Rickenbacker (and other) copies, I hesitate to give a crap when: a) they aren't claiming the guitars to be what they're not. b) I took the risk of buying a guitar from a chinese manufacturer despite all the unwarranted chinese guitar haters on these guitar forums, my risk, my accountability. c) They sell good product that DO stand up to the original. d) It's not illegal for these sellers to make whatever guitars they wish in their country nor is it illegal for me to buy them. AND e) The guitar companies in North America make high-end or specialty guitars unattainable for people who could never afford them.
So far in this "stickied" thread, I have seen a lot of whining and complaining, but hardly anyone has said they've tried the guitars or were able to judge the quality. I, on the other hand, put up my own cash, took a risk and got a high quality item. I even bought another guitar from the same seller, and guess what? Great quality once again.
What I want to get across here is that all this whining and assuming is unfair to people who have every right to make guitars for a living. Yes, sure, maybe some of them are crooks, but just be vigilant and smart, that's what feedback is for. I encourage buying guitars from China, I also encourage local purchases, it's your choice. Just don't judge until you've tried, especially you OP!

A) if the infringement is substantial enough, the courts won't care what you call it, it could still trigger legal penalties
B) yes, it is your risk and accountability, which- depending on where you live and other details- could include jail time, fines, and confiscation and destruction of the counterfeit goods in question
C) you say that having already replaced the stock pickups, and (presumably- correct me if I am wrong) not done a side-by-side comparison nor having had the guitar long enough to see how well the woods & hardware last over time. (Metal fatigue is a bitch...)
D) actually, it IS illegal to make those guitars in China- I've read the laws, and China is a signatory to numerous international intellectual property treaties, and have even modeled their domestic IP laws after those found in Western countries*- the makers are just enjoying the benefit of selective enforcement.
E) that you cannot afford a product does not entitle you to buy an illegally produced knock-off. And remember, part of why a product made in the USA or Canada may cost more includes not just worker's hourly wages, but also things like anti-pollution laws, product safety laws, workplace safety inspections, etc. It is not an accident that China is currently having some horrific pollution episodes.
For example: http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/201...es-media-action
* in part because the Chinese government got pissed off when some Chinese IP thieves started going after the products of Chinese IP holders, wrecking their businesses...

Sorry if didn't read all the previous posts, so may be redundant. Over here in Thailand local shop has Gibson Les Pauls with "Made in USA" on back of headstock, for $300. They look nice, like Thai transvestities. When you take them home, you are the one that gets f**ked, in both cases. The shop does say they are made in China and not real, to their credit. That tradetang site has so much bogus junk... you do get what you pay for, usually....

Nice post! Now we have to be careful when GAS kicks in. hahaha
Well I'm not really a person who needs to have the real/authentic brand to be able to play. As what I see as a musician, what matters most is the preferred setup of the guitar that makes me want to play it.
No matter how many $$$ my guitar costs, if it's not set up to my preference, it will sound bad (for me at least) and I would play bad on it. I did setup one. Bought it cheap and replaced the parts (bridge, pots, pickups, etc), set everything and it was perfect and played beautifully. And is still with me today. Total amount spent = half of branded ones.
Anyway, this is a great post. It's not just the guitar counterfeits that we have to worry, we also have to look out for the parts and accessories, these are important.
Off topic: By the way, I read a lot of comments about items being listed in ebay. There are a lot of counterfeits in eBay. Be careful!
Rules to follow in ebay:
-Read the title
-Read the description(Yes read it from start to finish, you have to.)
-Look at the pictures closely (bad quality pics? contact the seller and ask for good pics)
-Take note that they can sell fakes as long as they indicate that it's a "strat copy" or a "les paul copy" again read the title.
Back on topic: Nice thread! Maybe I'll post a picture of an item I'm doubting. Not really familiar with other brands, I still need professional eyes.

This is another vote for the cheapies... honestly, the best piece of advise was already given... 1. Stick with foriegn auction sites that are estabished.
2. Stick with sellers that have high ratings.
My personal reccomendation, just get the "look-a-like" that you want based on looks and construction... so what if it doesn;t actually have "Gibson" written at the top, you know it's not a Gibson anyway, and you would only fool those who are ignorant to the difference and don;t care either. Spend $300 on the guitar with the body and finish you want, drop another $200 to $300 on orignal parts (pups and pots for sure), and set it up the way you want it.
Once you get good pickups, a decent setup, and at worst, a fret dressing... You will mosty likely have a killer guitar for 1/4 the amount you'd have paid at a guitar shop for basically the same thing without the brand name. I've had one of these fakes that I ordered and setup for a buddy of mine, it was a LP fake, no branding on the head. After a decent setup it felt really good, much better than some of the less expensive Gibby's and Epi's I've played. Then we swapped the puups and put in real gibson 490r/496t combo and it sounded amazing.
Still not feeling good about it... Get the budget brand from the maker you want, then spend the extra dough on the pickups you want... at least then you still save about 1/2.

I've actually played quite a few chinese "Gibsons" that were nice instruments. almost bought a copy of a LP Supreme from a friend because it was cheap and sturdy. I used it live for about 3 months with no problems

This isnt entirely true. I just paid $200 for a knockoff brand telecaster, and it holds up to any real telecaster I've ever played. Sure - its not TRYING to be a Fender, and doesnt say Fender on the headstock, but cheap doesnt always mean bad, and cheap certainly doesnt always mean its not good value for what it is.

I don't think the point really is about the quality of the instruments or if they're cheap or awesome. The primary point of this thread is about people that continue finding amazing deals on "real" brand name guitars and ask if it's too good to be true. Obviously, the answer is YES!
A secondary point in this thread is about counterfeiting and whether or not it should be supported. Regardless of whether I think American-built PRS are too expensive, seeing a counterfeit one on a Chinese site does not fill me with warm fuzzies. Maybe it does for others -- maybe people feel like they're sticking it to the "Man" by supporting counterfeiters.
Despite it being illegal in the USA (and possibly other countries), it's a debate-worthy topic...

First, I do not think that products which openly acknowledge that they are copies are legal. Industrial products are automatically protected by copyright, as I understand it. Any exact copy of a guitar, a chair, or anything else, is illegal, and copies where only minor details are changed are also caught under this.
Second, if you really are so tired, perhaps you should get some rest rather than writing the comments below. You do not seem to have investigated the subject.

Isn't the real issue that everyone, I think, would complain if a counterfeit was sold to somebody as real. If on the other hand, somebody buys one to use themselves, then the crime would appear to be having a counterfeit item in their possession - not fraud or the deception. In the UK, selling one on would be a criminal matter if it's a fake, but owning one is a civil law issue. Everyone has their own opinions on copyright. We see numerous people trying to use music without paying the creators, and attempting to justify it. Buying a Chinese guitar is exactly the same. They shouldn't do it, but there is a market. I've got a few, and some are beautiful to look at, and play nicely, while others can look good but play like dogs. It's a gamble, isn't it?
I do know I'd rather gig a playable Les Paul copy that looks nice than throw a decent expensive original in the truck. In the studio, I use the valuable one.
For what it's worth, I import quite a few microphones from China, and many guitars I have bought come from companies in the same unit. These items are cottage industry products. They rent space in large complexes where everyone works together. So a wood shop turns out guitar necks and bodies, and probably chair legs and other similar wooden items. Next door is a company who are expert in spraying and finishing, and probably do guitars and furniture too. Another company do small electronics work. They install the electronics and make them work - they probably also assemble some of my microphones and the PCBs for moving head LED lights. So, if you like something you see, but you need it red, not blue - it's no big deal at all, just takes a day or two longer. They copy many guitars by using internet images, and sometimes they have copied from low res images and get things wrong. Sometimes they can make mistakes in the wiring, and they don't notice because the people wiring the selector switches have no idea what is supposed to happen. Sometimes, they just cannot get the parts they originally used. The photo may well have gold tuners, but when they source your guitars parts, the people who fabricate the tuners may not have any, so they swap either finish or style. They don't know which is which.
I too have a Rickenbacker (ha ha) 12 string, and the strings are fitted the wrong way compared to a real one, and of course the nut slots are cut for the 'wrong' way so you can't swap. The neck is also wider, which actually makes them easier to play than the genuine ones. I've got a nice Les Paul that there only appear to have been a tiny number made by Gibson, and one went on ebay for 8 grand! The Chinese copy was $320. It looks similar, and the tree of life inlay on the neck is stunning. How does it play? Ok - nothing very special, but wow it looks nice. If you keep these things in mind, then it's a choice to be made. I have 4, and only one is not so good.

Do the Math...Its Easy! Places like TradeTang,DHgate are Shit! If you order a guitar,you may get one,you may not..and their no way to get your hard earned money back either!
Sure..it only cost $300..good luck getting what you ordered from a photo..if they just don't screw you and ship you nothing. Read the reviews on both those sites..nothing good to say about either!
Korea,Malaysia,Indonesia,Vietnam,China and Mexico make us eat their shit!

okay.. first off i didnt read every reply in the forum.. second im surprised at some of the things im hearing.. these fake guitars are good?? no there not..there not even epiphone or squier good.. they will make your squier sound and play like a real american fender..if you would like i can put up pics later... but about a year maybe year an a half ago.. i was with a band a good friend of mine and the guitar player for that band. played a few different guitars such as a gibson voodoo, fender tele, an ibanez 7 string rg, ltd hm-1000.. one day he brought in a esp guitar.. which i was sure it was a esp/ltd ec-1000, but it seemed odd that it said esp on the headstock this was right before they made a esp line.. and the font was the old style font they used..not block style.. anyhow i asked him about it.. he said it was bought from another friend who ordered it off some chines web-site... now this guitar was the biggest fake i have ever come across they did a really good job at faking this.. the pickups said emg on them, the tuners said grovers, everything looked good until you got up close. now for starters it doesnt hold tune at all.. most of the time the gears in the tunning machines didnt even work.. i used grovers for years never had that problem.. the pickups i am not even goin to say it.. they werent active, they were passive..no serial number, it said esp on the head stock and it said esp on the 12th fret.. not to mention the esp was engraved in the 12th fret, just like emg was in the pickups.. turn it over the back plates werent cut out right and were set a bit too deep..this whole guitar was a night mare... anyhow.. i bought that guitar from him knowning it was a fake.. he knew it and i knew it and everyone around knows it... i replaced everything in that guitar, leaving only the wood.. not sure what kinda of wood that is used but it is sold and now after about 450 dollars it stays in tune with real tuners, real emg 81 active pickups in both the bridge and neck. that sound awesome..
however after all this is said im glad someone took time and made a forum on this topic, im not for fakes but it was a fun project, im not sure if this will stop people from asking if its a good idea or not but its a start..not to mention it may help someone out who may have been ripped off and didnt even know it... its been a few years but last i heard the ibanez JEMs are the number 1 counterfeited guitar on ebay.

text: Hey guys, I am posting this in gear junkies because if you're like me I am one of the whackos always looking for lighter, stronger, better gear, etc including better supplements to put in my pack that don't take up much space and provide as much nutrition as i can find for my mountain hunts. These raw protein bars come in a 3" x 3 1/2" pouch and weigh @ 60 grams or just over 2 oz! They range from 240-280 calories, 22 g protein, 12-28g carb, 12-16g fat. They are like cookie dough consistency. I have tried the blueberry macadamia and the cafe mocha ones, both really good. All natural ingredients, no preservatives.They actually make them after you place your order.This guy started this biz less than a year ago and it has exploded. He owns a gym in Florida and started making these raw protein bars for himself. Once a few other people tried them they convinced him to make them to sell. You can't buy them at any store just at his website (link below). A little pricey but worth it so don't leave them where your kids can get to them because they will inhale them! Rather than bash all of the other *hit I have carried in my pack I suggest you take whatever you currently like and compare ingredients. Please forward this link to your hardcore hunting buddies that may be interested. I am always looking for an edge and these will definitely be in my pack again next fall. Good luck in the draws this year!

Front Office Handoff
Blog Note – The Royals Caravan headed into east-central Kansas this week for a three-day, eight-city trip. Throughout the trip, Royals folks will be posting daily blogs from the road. This posting comes from Royals Vice President of Public Relations, Toby Cook. You can read about the Royals Caravan on the home page of royals.com. MLB.com writer **** Kaegel will report on caravan activities throughout January as well.
A handoff at the Hyatt. Day Two of our Kansas Winter Caravan ended in a downtown Wichita hotel Tuesday with Royals General Manager Dayton Moore giving a high-five to Assistant General Manager Dean Taylor and grabbing the car keys. Dean joins us for our final day as Dayton returned to Kauffman Stadium to take care of more off-season business. We have had a great trip so far and are already looking forward to our jaunts to Nebraska, Missouri, Arkansas and the Kansas City area later this month.
As you read from our blog Tuesday, the good folks at the K-State Athletic Department in Manhattan served as great hosts early in the trip. They let our players throw and workout at the school's facilities early Tuesday morning before Mark Teahen, Shane Costa and Todd Wellemeyer went to give interviews at Royals Radio Network affiliate KJCK in Junction City. Next, we hit a Rotary luncheon at the Junction City Country Club where, once again, broadcaster Ryan Lefebvre emceed a Q&A session and managed to score with all but one or two jokes. Rotarians aren't necessarily the easiest audience for comedy, but they sure seemed to love the Royals.
Our group boarded the tour bus early in the afternoon for a well-attended autograph session at Central Mall in Salina. Lora Grosshans' parents came by to say hi. Lora's our Senior Director of Public Relations, the main coordinator of the Winter Caravans and a native of nearby Minneapolis, Kan. She says this year's Salina appearance matched years past; however that apparently wasn't the case at Hutchinson Mall (Kan.). Hutchinson blew us out of the water with a line of fans that started at the food court and stretched until the shoe store. Of course, if you haven't been to Hutch, this is no frame of reference. Suffice to say, it was an Opening Day-like line and the guys stayed well over our initial time limit to accommodate everyone.
Why not? There is no denying a renewed enthusiasm in a ball club that made some aggressive moves this off-season. Everyone along the trip so far wanted to give Dayton credit, which he refused to accept. That's okay, though. Dean's here now to do that for him!
Watch for a Day Three review on the blog Thursday.

Born on Sept. 10, 1974 and raised in New Castle, DE, as a kid, Phillippe played soccer and achieved a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, but his school did not have a theater department so he never considered acting. Around the age of 14, though, he became enamored of the film "Cool Hand Luke" (1967) and subsequently anything Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, and similarly complicated tough guys. He decided he wanted to learn about acting, reading any books he could find on the subject. Not long afterwards, a casting agent discovered the handsome teen while he was getting his haircut at a barbershop. Phillippe began traveling to New York regularly for auditions, and eventually began to land modeling work.... Continue Bio >>

Can I just tell you how much I used to hate sweet potatoes? In fact, I don't know if hate is a strong enough word. Remember the first boy/girl that made you cry in like, 5th grade? The one bully that inevitably said something earth-shattering, like your blinky sneakers were totally lame, or your Sally Jesse Raphael glasses were stupid, or your tapered jeans weren't tuck/rolled properly. These, of course, are complete hypothetical examples, because I would never have worn blinky sneakers, and my tuck/roll was impeccable, and my mom assured me that my large red plastic glasses were the coolest. But if I had, I can assure you I was nothing short of a vision.
Kids can be so mean.
Anyways, that's how much I hated sweet potatoes. Until like… 3 years ago. I want to say it was because I saw the light and realized how insanely delicious/nutritious they are, but I'm pretty sure it's because I tried a sweet potato fry once and my life hasn't been the same ever since.
Now I can't get enough of them. I actually feared my skin would turn orange after eating them every day straight for a week one time, and I'd look like a snookified/oompa-loompa version of myself, but good news: I didn't.
But that could just be because my skin refuses to turn any other shade but pale and I'm no less than 4 feet taller than both of them. Regardless, this recipe was one I immediately bookmarked because I knew I'd love it, and if you share a love (new-found or not) for sweet potatoes, I'm sure you will too.
Vegetarian Sweet Potato and Kale Hash
Serves: About 4
Cook time: About 30 min
You'll Need:
2 T coconut oil
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled & diced
1 bunch of leeks, cleaned & thinly chopped
1 large bunch kale, stems removed and cleaned
1 cup vegetable broth
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. chili powder
1/3 cup chopped walnuts (or more if desired)
Directions: In a large pot, heat coconut oil and cook potatoes and leeks, until leeks are tender (about 5 minutes). Add 1/2 cup vegetable broth, chili powder, and a dash of salt and pepper, cover the pot and cook for another 7-10 minutes until the potatoes are tender, stirring occasionally. Uncover, add another 1/2 cup broth and stir in kale, sprinkle with nutmeg, and cook another 5 or so minutes until kale is tender. Serve with a handful of chopped walnuts and additional salt/pepper if needed.
(Slightly adapted from Pure Provender)
This is a great, warm and filling fall/winter dish, and I am positive I'll be making it many more times. Although I will not be wearing blinky shoes or tapered jeans while I do so. …Or will I?

1926 Ford Model T Roadster - Mint Green TWritten by on February 20, 2014 There's Nothing Cooler Than This Lakes Modified Rodster
Just the Facts
Year: 1926
Make: Ford
Model: Roadster
Owner: Ron Crawford
State: California
Ron Crawford has been a Model T enthusiast for practically all of his life. He was a 13-year-old kid when he owned his first one. Now, at the age of 80, he's back behind the wheel of another Model T.
Although this bright green 1926 was finished last year, it was 2001 when the project first got underway. Ron, an architect by trade, had a design in mind and needed a builder to help create the actual thing. He found what he was looking for at the Model T Shop in Sacramento, California, owned by Ray Zarick. Ron explained what he wanted—a 1930s-style lakes modified roadster. Zarick caught the vision right away, and even had a steel body in his inventory to get the wheels turning. Working together, Ron and Zarick created a meticulously built rod, with an amazing amount of engineering and artistic trim work.
When the necessary bodywork was finished —patch panels, new doorsills, back panel replacement—the transformation could start. The body was narrowed 10 inches at the front cowl and 12 inches at the rear panel. The three-piece hood is accented by a stainless center bar and held by a leather strap with spring tensioners hidden inside. Ray narrowed and shortened a 1933 Chevy grille shell, filling the center with a handbuilt insert made from vertical stainless bars. The headlights are 1930 Model A reproductions.
The paint was mixed and shot by Randy Dimmitt at Randy's Kandies, in Placerville, California. He used polyester-base U-Tech paint to achieve the pure green finish. Mike Clines from Clines Pinstriping has been 'striping and lettering since the 1950s, and is a pro at painting gold leaf. The numbers on the doors are his contribution. Antique brass pieces from various sources are used as ornamentation all over the car.
After the body shape was finalized, a 2x3 rectangular tube frame was constructed for a tailor-made fit. The 'rails extend up behind the body in a sweeping S curve to support the fuel tank and keep the roadster low. Inside tubing carries wiring to the taillights and license plate light. To ensure a good fit, the body is mounted on dowel pins. Equal-length hairpins were built for the front and rear. The rear suspension supports a 4.11-geared Ford 8-inch with a 9-inch center and quick-change cover. Friction shocks were mounted at each corner. Springs are a Model A buggy spring in back and quarter-ellipticals in front. The leafs were fitted with Teflon strips and grease, then taped, prior to being wrapped with leather. The 4-inch drop and drilled I-beam axle from Magnum Axle connects a pair of 1940 Ford spindles with 12-inch 1940 drum brakes; 9-inch drums are employed in the back. Front brake lines from a single reservoir "fruit jar" master cylinder are hidden behind the I-beam axle.
Sticking to the 1930s-era theme reduces the options in the wheel and tire department to essentially one choice. Luckily, it's a great choice. The 19-inch Model A wires, as well as the brakes, have been painted body-color green, set off by the chrome caps. They roll on skinny 5.50-19 and 6.50-19 Firestone blackwalls, out of the Coker Tire catalog.
Powering the car is a Ford four-banger, but not the kind Model T restorers would recognize. Esslinger Engineering specializes in Ford four-cylinder SOHC race engines and built this Midget Racing version from a 1974 139ci (2.3L) engine. The block was bored 0.030, and balanced and blueprinted. An Esslinger crank-triggered electronic ignition lights the air/fuel mixture delivered by four 40mm Mikuni side valve carbs (used on Harleys) on a custom intake manifold. On the other side, leftover gases exit through Model T Shop headers. The T5 transmission features a 9-inch Mercedes clutch disc.
The resized body required the dash to be modified to fit. Ray added an engine-turned panel and filled it with Stewart-Warner Wings gauges with curved lenses and brass trim rings. Brass lamp parts were used to mount the round-tubing steering column to the dash and for the steering wheel bearing. The wheel itself is a 15-inch Model T reproduction piece. The one-off shifter features a brass handle. The roadster was sent to Sonoma Custom Upholstery where the wrap-around seat and door panels were covered in deep tan leather.
Ron's lakes modified roadster was freshly finished when we watched it cruise into the Goodguys West Coast Nats in Pleasanton in August—pursued by a parade of spectators who were all over it like green on a gecko as soon as it stopped. In addition to a Painless Performance Products/Street Rodder Top 100 selection, the car earned a Gary Meadors/Sam Foose Builder's Choice Award. Needless to say, Ron Crawford's second Model T is making him feel like a kid again
More Photos From This Article View Slideshow
Plenty of detail can be seen in the roadster's well-done interior—but more is unseen. The carpet lifts up to reveal a 1x3-inch subframe with four removable floor panels accessing the master cylinder, electric fuel pump, and lines; starter solenoid; wiring connections; and a tool storage compartment. The leather on the seat and doors was installed at Sonoma Custom Upholstery.The 1923 T tank is especially dressed up with brass. Geckos crawl up the sides above the Model A taillights. The Model A gas cap is mounted in the center of a curved picture frame. The gas level sight gauge is from an 1840s-era street light.Ray Zarick built a custom muffler using a 9-inch length of cross-drilled 1/2-inch tubing. Custom side-draft stacks extend from the Mikuni carburetors through the left hood side. Cap nuts were used everywhere on the Model T, including here on the Pitman arm.

The spine is made up of bones called vertebrae. Each vertebra has two pairs of facet joints. One pair points up and connects with the vertebrae above. The second pair points down and connects with the vertebrae below.
These joints have cartilage, ligaments, and a surrounding sac of fluid to allow smooth movement. Injury to any of these structures may cause swelling and pain. The swelling may also put pressure on nerves as they exit the spinal cord. This may result in local pain or pain that shoots down the limbs.
A facet joint injection is a shot directly into the joint. The shot will have a small amount of a numbing medicine (anesthetic) and/or medicine to reduce swelling.
In some cases, the injection is done just beside the joint at a tiny nerve branch that supplies the joint. This is called a medial branch block. This is often done as a diagnostic test with just a numbing medicine to see if the targeted area is the source of pain.
It is not always clear what causes back or neck pain. It may be caused by problems of the joint, nerves, or other structure, such as muscles or ligaments. A facet joint injection of a numbing medicine may be used to confirm or disprove the joint as the cause of pain.
If the facet joint is the cause of pain, injections may be used to deliver steroid medicine to try to help control pain and inflammation.
Complications are rare. But, no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have this injection, your doctor will review a list of possible complications, which may include:
may increase your risk of complications.
Your doctor may
want to do this injection if you:
Talk to your doctor about these risks before the procedure.
Your doctor may begin with conservative treatment (eg, rest, medicine, physical therapy, exercise).
Before the injection, your doctor may:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may have to stop taking some medicines up to one week before the procedure, like:
Additional considerations include:
You will be awake during the procedure. A local anesthetic will be used to numb the skin before the injection. Your doctor may also give you additional medicine to help you relax.
You may have devices attached to help monitor your blood pressure, heart, and oxygen levels. You will be asked to lie on your stomach or side on an x-ray table. The skin around the injection site will be cleansed with an antiseptic. A local anesthetic may be given to numb the area.
The doctor may inject a contrast dye. This dye will help to highlight the joint in an x-ray and help ensure the correct placement of the injection. This type of x-ray is called a fluoroscopy. The doctor will place the needle into or around the joint and inject the anesthetic medicine. You will be asked about your pain relief during the procedure.
If you have pain relief after the injection, this may mean the problem is due to the facet joint. A second injection with a steroid medication may be done to reduce inflammation and swelling.
If you do not have pain relief after the first injection, your doctor may:
You will stay at the clinic for a few minutes after the injection.
The injection only takes a few minutes. The entire visit may be 30-60 minutes. The length of time will depend on the number of injections needed.
This is a deep injection so you may have some discomfort. Ask your doctor about medicine to help with the pain after the procedure.
You may have complete or partial pain relief.
Your doctor will assess your level of pain relief. You may be asked to do movements that had been causing pain before. This can help to see if you feel better after the injection.
When you return home, take these steps:
If you have diabetes, monitor your blood sugar levels more carefully a few weeks after an injection. The medicine that was injected may affect your blood sugar levels.
Call your doctor if any of these occur:
If you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

About this font family
One of the first messy typewriter fonts to hit the market, Chandler 42 was compiled with forensic care from the voluminous output of a circa 1942 portable.
All the eccentric personality of this particular machine is intact: a slightly angled "m," filled in gaps in the most-used characters; even the number "4" is reminiscent of gasoline pump numbers of its day.
Chandler 42 features edges meticulously redrafted by hand, fully developed Western character sets and is available in 4 weights, plus obliques. More…

Coutour GPS
This compact unit comes with built-in GPS, so you can automatically geotag
your videos and pictures. The Contour scores extra points for its excellent mounting kits, superbly simple
recording controls and twin lasers to check its mounting angle. There are some negatives, though: the power
button and rear catch are fiddly, there's no screen and video quality is not quite on a par with the GoPro or
Drift cameras. But once mounted, this lightweight helmet-cam can be set to record quickly -- making it ideal for,
say, commuters who want to log evidence (including location and time) of dangerously driven cars.

The holidays are typically a slow time for baseball when what what passes as off-season action--trades and free-agent signings--comes to a crawl.
This is when Major League Baseball tends to fill the empty space with a little preview of the coming season. Like, showcasing new uniforms.
However, when Paul Lukas posted on ESPN a sneak peek--leaked from "an inside source"--of new team batting practice hats for 2013, he set off a wave of negative publicity for the Atlanta Braves.
That's because the new ball cap features an old logo, one long considered insensitive and offensive to Native Americans.
For that reason, the team stopped using the so-called "screaming Indian" logo on regular uniforms in 1989, and even had it removed from the Braves' throwback jerseys last year.
Having already attacked the use of Native American imagery in sports uniforms just a couple months earlier, it was no surprise that Lukas called the new Braves cap "Disappointing," and gave it an "F."
He wasn't alone.
CBSSports.com blogger C. Trent Rosecrans said the Atlanta design is "Hands down, the worst" of the whole MLB bunch.
On Yahoo! Sports, Kevin Kaduk in the Big League Stew blog dedicated an entire post to the hat, saying he hoped fans would "be spared the sight of Dan Uggla and Jason Heyward awkwardly wearing these caps around the cage next spring."
Filed under "Racism" on Deadspin, writer Tom Ley deadpans that the logo depicts the character "in mid-shriek as he watches either a Braves home run or the forcible uprooting and assimilation of his culture."
With a much lengthier and more nuanced post on Capitol Avenue Club, a Braves blog affiliate of ESPN, Franklin Rabon uses the controversy to plumb the complex nature of racism in America, particular to Native Americans, and how it plays out in the imagery used in sports.
But as commentary on the blogosphere grows--now including non-sports blogs--the one voice still missing is an official one from Major League Baseball and the Atlanta Braves.

Associated Press Release
PORTALES, NM (AP) -- University officials say a New Mexico college graduate, apparently feeling guilty over a student prank years ago, has sent a box of toilet paper to repay the school for loot taken from a dormitory.
Eastern New Mexico University says it received the yuletide gift box this week along with a Christmas card and written apology.
The box contained five packages of 16 rolls of two-ply, septic-safe tissue for a total of 80 rolls.
The anonymous writer apologized for stealing bathroom tissue years ago and said a new dedication to Christian faith led to the deed.
It was unclear whether the gift itself was a prank. But university officials say "all is forgiven."
The toilet paper is being donating to a nearby charity because it doesn't fit the school's dispensers.

On 5th January, 2012 I arrived in Dhaka, Bangladesh with 14 other Edith Cowan University (ECU) students. Every two years, commencing 6 years ago, ECU and Pathshala South Asian School of Photography join together for a workshop and then head out into the Bangladesh countryside to consolidate skills learnt and produce a collaborative piece in a series of small photojournalism stories. This year was also the first year that multi-media was introduced into the program, under the guidance and tuition of renowned photojournalist DJ Clark.
My piece was always going to be sports based and if you read my previous post you will find an Athlete Profile on Bangladesh's fastest female hurdler Sumita Rani – one very inspirational and determined woman!
The month here has been full of so many different experiences, ups, downs, roundabouts and swings but the end result of a collaborative exhibition "Convergence" opened on Friday 3rd February, 2012 at Drik Gallery, Dhaka, Bangladesh. I was very honoured and humbled to have one of my photos of Sumita selected as the "face" of the exhibition.
For those in Perth, the exhibition will be showing in Perth at the end of March, date to be confirmed. Of course I will blog and let you all know!

"If I had to pick one word to describe what happens to my hair when I use Alterna, it would have to be transformation." - Katie Holmes (spokesperson)
Not all hair care was treated equal. When only the best will do for your hair, turn to Alterna, a luxury brand which pampers the locks with unique ingredients in cutting edge formulas.
Since 1997, Alterna has pioneered luxury haircare. Whatever your haircare need, Alterna believes that you shouldn't have to choose between clinically-proven, salon-tested results and natural, good-for-you ingredients. That's why Alterna products are: Pure. Proven. Professional.
Caviar, Seasilk, Bamboo, Kendi Oil and more—these precious, sustainable ingredients deliver pure, powerful benefits. And what Alterna leaves out of their products is just as important as what they put in. Alterna believes beauty products should be FREE OF Parabens, Sulfates, Phthalates and other harsh or unnecessary additives. So important to Alterna, this FREE OF claim appears on the front of every Alterna bottle, along with their commitment to eco-friendly packaging and fair-trade practices.
Alterna believes that consumers deserve high-performance products that deliver on their promises. That's why Alterna has spent over 15 years developing proprietary technologies subjected to intensive clinical, consumer, safety and in-salon testing. The result is state-of-the-art haircare collections that are a remarkable synthesis of nature and exclusive proprietary technologies such as Enzymetherapy®. This enzyme delivery system improves the absorption of essential ingredients for superior keratin production.
Alterna's respected credibility; the promise of transformations without trade-offs, has been the source of Alterna's luxury haircare authority, pioneering industry standards since 1997. Alterna has tapped the expertise and insights of professional stylists to create luxurious, high-performance products that meet the exacting standards of professional salons and their clients. Salon stylists and beauty artisans worldwide can always turn to Alterna for innovation, expertise, choice for uncompromising care to transform hair. Alterna Haircare is part of the HENKEL GROUP.

Here's Hollywood in 2012-2013.
Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
So this weekend I spent about 8 hrs walking around my father in laws west tx ranch looking for some whitetail sheds, here's what I found! The 10 pt set was my first complete set. I found the first along a trail, then found the second about 50 ft later. I think they are from a couple yrs ago. The big 8 set is from a deer we have history with. We named him Hollywood for loving the camera. The set I found were his from 2012-2013. If it wasn't for a doe diving in front of my arrow, (I have it on camera otherwise I wouldn't believe me either) I might have gotten him this year. I'm planning on mounting and displaying them. The other 2 halves of an 8 pt were the only I found from this year so far. Makes me think they all haven't dropped yet. I still can't believe I found a set of hollywood's though. Hope you guys enjoy hitherto pics!
Also, if any of you have any tips on where to look for sheds, I'd appreciate it.

Have some buddies that set up shed catchers. Basically it is a feed station that has t posts all the way around. They make the gaps close enough so deer bump their antlers while getting the feed. The collect many sheds this way...
I have seen shed catchers made by making a feed station by using T-Post and Panel wire in a V shape so when the deer bumps the wire while feeding , it works but I have never tried myself.
Hunted on Ranch in Texas they had Black Lab. that was good at finding them, I quess either way saves some shoe leather.
That is some nice looking sheds you have found!
Great finds! Hoping to get out later this week myself.

Hello, I purchased Fractal Mapper 8 a year or so ago and Fractal World Explorer 1.7 came bundled with it. My problem is when I generate a new world the very top and very bottom of the atlas is white, solid white. I can see some polar lands which appear normal but everything else including water is white. Here is a screen:
as you can see the polar regions are all white, there is some water but its completely cut off! Is this a bug? If anyone has any tips on other software to use or how to fix this or remedy it in photoshop it would be greatly appreciated.

We bought Zimbra NE to get the ZCO.
Unfortunately, it is quite buggy.
Issues encountered so far, after just a few users migrated from Domino to Zimbra :
- Location list remains empty when creating appointments
- Incorrect dates in message previews (but correct in message lists)
- Tasks not showing up
- no autocomplete from GAL (outlook limitation, not ZCO bug)
Zimbra desktop, on the contrary, works fine.
None of the above bugs encountered.
I hope VMware (Zimbra) will come up with a new version of ZCO very soon or I might be in trouble since I'm responsible for the choice of Zimbra over MS Exchange.

The book is a heartwarming dog story like no other: Tuesday, a lovable golden retriever, changes a former soldier's life forever. A highly decorated captain in the U.S. Army, Montalvan never backed down from a challenge during his two tours of duty in Iraq. After returning home from combat, however, his physical wounds and crippling post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) began to take their toll. He wondered if he would ever recover.

Well you do have during installation.
You could easyly determine the actual size of the db and set the new db 10 times higher - jsut to be shure.
a daily cron job could check size of the sparse/actual size to determine if its nessesary to adjust the db setting.
that way the max size limit would be adjusted dynamically
seriisously dont you understand that a 80gig sparsefile has a major impact. only because the limit was set in 8.0 wont help - noone will check every single value of the settings for bad changes - even if they do they wont expect having a file there that size.
the minimum requirements of 90gig without data have to be documentated - in red big letters. its not trivial its a big deal.
btw a quick and dirty fix - really reserving that amount of space
and no you do not need to run db_recover prior rsync if you do a cold backup.
you backup the hole zimbra installation anyway.
heres a little note how we really backup (i hope most do that this way)
so what we do (i dont do it with rsync but our backup software but dont make much difference in the way todo it)
we backup hot - jsut to get most daty into the backup set - (always incremental of course)
then shutdown zimbra - backup everything - because of the incremental backup all we need to backup are recent changes and the database files
time for a hole shutdown backup 90 seconds atm - no need to run anything in advance - the backup is the exact mirror of the server with a shutdown zimbra
you can even restore such a backup easy on a different testing server, all its needed is one entry in /etc/hosts, prior installation of the same zimbra version just to get apt and some minor syschanges on to it -delete the new installation restore the cold backup - its running
(of course firewalling the smtp ports or it will send some mails hanging in the queues during backup time)
