Welcome back to Paris. Or Parises, I should say. While much of it may look the same, thanks to the homogenising effect of civic planner Georges-Eugene Haussmann and the ubiquitous café, there seems to be a new and different Paris around each and every corner.
Take my past month here for example. Having already explored three lesser-known neighbourhoods, I decided to live dangerously and visit a full-blown tourist trap for my fourth Paris instalment – the Marais.
Well, it was more a choice made by accident. Due to my sudden decision to stay longer in Paris, we had to find new accommodation quickly. When I spotted a tiny pied-à-terre in the Marais for a good price it got me thinking – was the Marais as soulless as it seemed?
At a quick glance the area, which straddles the 3rd and 4th arrondissement, seemed to be just expensive boutiques and cafes. But during a week of endless rain that kept the tourists away, I found another Marais, one with medieval winding streets lined with magnificent former mansions and breathtakingly beautiful gardens.
With rain dripping down its proud stone walls and without its adoring fans, I felt like I glimpsed into its aristocratic past and saw a little of what lies behind its present shiny veneer. So yes, the Marais has soul but you can only see it in the rain.
The following week I explored a neighbourhood that was almost the polar opposite – the Batignolles, in the "far" north of Paris. In place of tourists and chic Parisians was a mix of elderly folk and families with two kids and one on the way. Instead of empty boutiques were crowded boulangeries. In short, les Batignolles is not somewhere to see and be seen – it's a place to play pétanque.
The week after my stroll through the Batignolles I headed east to the 18th arrondissement to a very different Paris yet again – Chateau Rouge.
Also referred to as la Goutte d'Or, this is the Little Africa of Paris. Amazingly, Chateau Rouge is just minutes away from tourist-crazed Montmartre and its top drawcard, the Sacre Coeur. One minute it's all pretty pretty, then suddenly you're wondering, what happened? Where did Paris go?
Markets here offer gombo (okra) not oysters or foie gras, and you have to elbow your way through or be elbowed. Shops are filled with colourful African materials not trendy western gear. Butchers are halal.
Exotic, yes, but at the end of the main open-air market a police car is almost permanently parked – along with the colour and movement are serious drug and crime problems. Add illegal immigration into the mix and you can start to understand why the locals were incredibly unhappy about my camera and I pitching up.
Since I wasn't going to be able to do anything too deep, I decided to explore one particular facet of Little Africa – its "fashion". The neighbourhood is filled with men and women who continue to dress as they would if they still lived in Africa – only now they're in Paris, amongst the berets and trench-coats. The shock of hot, vivid colour against a sea of western blah and sombre tones is just fantastic.
Then there are the Africans who take their colourful heritage and apply it to a more contemporary look. I especially loved les sappeurs, men in suits who overdress in a playful, inventive way. I'd actually go so far to say that it was in Chateau Rouge that I saw the most interesting fashion I've seen so far in all of Paris (not that I hang with the fashionistas, of course).
Leaving the vibrant colour and edgy energy of Chateau Rouge behind, I headed off for my seventh and last neighbourhood in Paris to the eastern suburb of Montreuil.
Despite the fact it's just 6.6 km from the city centre, Montreuil seems a million miles away. For starters, it's sprawling with loads of open space, something you never find in Paris proper. The architecture isn't charming or Haussmann-like but lots of people can afford to live in a house and have a garden. And while the place can appear super quiet, even boring, beneath the surface there's a whole lot going on – film, art, music, dance. Potted pointy shoes even.
I'm sure if I stayed another year I'd discover a million other Parises. But this week we have to bid them all adieu because we're off to our next stop, Rome. Time to pack away our berets and slip on an espadrille. See you there in a month's time!

John Harrigan: A welcomed barnyard stop, and a look at (some) times past
JOHN HARRIGAN | July 13. 2013 11:12PM
Ray and I sort of grew up together at Clarksville Pond, where I was living as an all-around helper and member of the family, and Ray came up frequently with his father to fish and hunt. This was in the late '50s and early '60s, when we were full of something and vinegar.
"Hay-burners?" I said, aghast. "You've got hay-burners? You don't even have any pasture. You're going to have to hay them year-round. And what about water in the winter?" Careful readers will pick out the fact that I've been through all this, and more.
"A tank heater," I said. "You'll just love the statement from your power company. About a buck and a half a day. That's $45 added to your bill."
Visitors most always leave notes. One gladdened my heart, another peeved me.
"The sign means dire need," I wrote, wanting to add "You moron," but it was my fault. It's a new era, like it or not.

Katharine McPhee
Once McPhee made the final 12, her performances of songs such as "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Come Rain or Come Shine," and "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" made her one of the favorites of American Idol judges and viewers. After the American Idol season ended, McPhee was signed by show creator Simon Fuller's 19 Recordings Limited label and released her first single, Somewhere Over the Rainbow/My Destiny; it became the second best-selling single of 2006. That summer, after bouts with bronchitis and laryngitis, she joined the rest of the finalists and Hicks on the American Idols LIVE! tour and also toured with Andrea Bocelli, who appeared on American Idol as a guest judge. McPhee began recording her self-titled debut album in the fall, working with collaborators such as Timbaland's production partner, Nate "Danja Hand" Hills, Chad Hugo of the Neptunes, and songwriter Kara DioGuardi. "Over It," which was written by the songwriting team of Billy Steinberg, Josh Alexander, and Ruth-Anne Cunningham, arrived a few weeks before Katharine McPhee was released in early 2007. In 2010, McPhee returned with the holiday-themed album Christmas Is a Time...To Say I Love You.
McPhee turned her attention to acting in 2011, landing a pivotal role on NBC's Smash. The music-based soap ran for two seasons and, additionally, McPhee appeared in the 2011 indie films You May Not Kiss the Bride and Peace, Love & Misunderstanding. In 2014, she landed the lead role in the CBS drama Scorpion. As the show was leading up to its second season in 2015, McPhee returned to music, releasing the single "Lick My Lips" that April. It was a teaser for a full-length record called Hysteria, which was her first pop album in five years. ~ Heather Phares

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
Do you order from zine distros? Yes? No? Why? Why not?
Would you be sad to see distros go away?
I ask simply because I am getting a bit down about continuing to run a distro and wonder if they are necessary to keep zines thriving?
People seem to enjoy the distro, but lack of orders means a lack of funds to order new stock and so goes the cycle. I never wanted to be one of the ones to run a distro for a short time period and give up, but I am starting to see why it happens.
Views: 243
I don't order from distros half as much as I used to. Mainly this is because of my change in where I live/how much I work. But another big reason is I generally don't trust the quality of zines that many distros stock... my zine ordering definitely decreased after Learning to Leave a Paper Trail closed. Ciara was very good at quality control, and I never ordered a zine from her and was disappointed. This sounds pretty bitchy & more power to everyone who is being brave & putting their zines out there, but many distros seem to stock zines because they are made by their friends and maybe feeling like they have to stock them, despite them not actually being of a very high quality. In the end I was ordering packages and being disappointed: boring topics repeated over & over & lazy, generic layouts. Because of this I was reluctant to order from distros & preferred to buy from zine fairs, but again a lack of finances generally prevents this.
There's not a whole lot of options in my area to buy zines or go to zine fests (the best places to do both are easily over ninety miles away from where I live, and us zinesters in the area are all spread out). So, I usually get most of my zines online. I don't really feel very comfortable buying zines from blogs, honestly- not to disparage anyone who does in this thread, but I've had some less than satisfactory dealings with people in the past. Stranger Danger is a favorite of mine, and I've even ordered some zines from some of the people in this thread! (Nice meeting you guys in a less impersonal way! ^_-)
I guess it's because the novelty of zines has never grown old with me, but I honestly don't really mind poor quality if the zine has something else going for it- the stories make me laugh, or there's otherwise good information in them. Keep in mind that I'm the sort of person who will almost literally read anything just for the sheer joy of scanning my eyes across a sheet of paper, no matter how dense, inane, or boring- so what I just wrote has to be taken with a grain of salt. It's pretty rare to come across something in my area that is not either corporate or of poor quality, so I guess I take whatever I can get.
I do, and I agree that there should be a list somewhere of active distros. It's something I might think about doing actually, a little database with links and the type of zines the distro carries, a little info from the distro owner, etc?
I like to get a bunch of zines at once so I try to order from distros when I can, and have done for years. (I still miss Pander!)
As a Library, despite getting pretty regular submissions, I try to make a few orders a year through distros. I try to use several distros per order, and each order switch the distros so as to spread some love. I promote distros and other libraries on our blog through links (not a complete list, so send links my way!!!). I often have people ask where they can buy these zines that are in the collection, I direct them to distros-there's no place in town to buy them at the moment (so I've been tossing the distro idea around in my head for some time too). I think it's up to us who love the printed zine to be able to communicate and show WHY we love the printed zine. This is what's hard. There is a whole young generation that when they zines they fall in love, just like I did. In my community anyway, the younger generation isn't being told what a zine is. Most are as clueless as my parents were. Zine libraries have a huge chance to change this, to be seen in our community. After all If we aren't seen in our community, how will people know we're there? Internet representation alone is never enough (though it's helpful). Zines are empowering. Printed works can be seen as a compliment to online versions, full of stuff that just WON'T translate digitally. Distros are in a tough spot. I'd say keep it up if you can, promote where you can, but if all it's doing is draining you take a break. You aren't giving up on zines, just resting. Someone will always pick up the torch. :)

I've run marching stars distro for just over 4 years now (birthday last week!) and the number of orders I've received has steadily risen, so I probably average at least one per day when I'm properly open now. The success might partly be due to location (UK) where there's only a handful of distros though.
Personally, prior to opening marching stars, I used to order from distros loads, but hardly have now. I pick up zines from distros at zine events, but I have crates of unread zines in my life and a seemingly endless supply for distro consideration so I don't really need any more... which is sad, because I'd like to be supporting other distros.
On the issue of distros all stocking the same thing, yes, that's true, but I don't worry about it too much, because as a UK distro I know that my stocking Brainscan or Doris does still make it easier for my customers to get a hold of them. Ordering individual zines for North America on etsy or whatever gets really expensive, really fast... so maybe that's my unique appeal and why marching stars is still really successful? (Virtually all my orders are from the UK)
i actually do most of my ordering from distros because unless someone sends their zine directly to me (pen pals or reciprocation of trade), i simply don't like the hassle of looking up each zine/ster and buying directly unless i really love their zine and they are not properly represented within the handful of distros that i order from (and/or i owe them a letter). laziness? maybe, but ever since discovering distros back in the early 90's, that's simply been my method of acquiring zines with a diverse number of perspectives, topics, people, etc. back then i was a teen and snail mail was the best option because of my financial restraints. and now it's easier to do through paypal (or whatever payment program people use).
i do (and recently have) order zines from individual zinesters, but find the convenience and choices of zine distros is the best way for me to get my zine fixes. i also buy at events or at the places in my area that stock zines. unfortunately, the place i sometimes buy zines from locally either has zines that i've already read, i'm not interested in, or they stock mostly from microcosm. so, that's a deal breaker right there.
up the distros!
Well, I hate to beat this issue to death, since I've probably written what I'm going to a billion times before, but what I don't get is, if the Internet-saavy youth order paper zines because they "like to hold them in their hand", what's so "luddite" and "old person" about somebody who'd like a paper distro catalog because THEY like to "hold them in THEIR hand"? Also, what's the harm in just providing a printable version option on-line. MAYBE, that WOULD increase the sales some distro owners are lamenting they're lacking.
I have really tried to click through on-line distros ON HIGH SPEED and I don't understand why I'm the only one who finds the process an unfun tedious drag. I also have doubts about how efficient it is. But I admit, everybody experiences things differently.
I was always under the impression that there was a big faction of the "zine community" who preferred and/or celebrated older technologies---8 tracks, vinyls, cassettes, typewriters---as actual, functional creativity and recreation tools. Have these just degenerated into trendy "cool tokens". If vinyls et al have validity in the zine scene---a legitimate place if only a small one---why not paper catalogs??? (and of course, apps for iPhones & Androids, whatever they are.)
We luddites (or maybe I'm the last one) aren't even asking anybody to physically cut, paste and update one----just provide on-line printable versions. If I'm not understanding something and this is hard/expensive/time-consuming to do, then I'd appreciate hearing about it.
I may gradually take a look at some of the distros and see if there's some way of cobbling together a quasi-printable version of some of them myself. Maybe there'll be a zine or two that looks like it might approach a modicum of original or critical thought and maybe I'll order it. But I don't want to work too hard at it.
(On average, it seems like the zines I order from reviews and trade with others are a bit cheaper than what I'm finding in most distros I've briefly looked at.)
Dan 10things said:
James, your relic of an age that's almost passed, as I am too. The kids these days don't want or need a print version. And I think for a distro to survive in the modern world, they really need to be geared toward younger generations and how they shop. Heck, if I were running Microcosm or another big zine distro, I'd be trying to make a zine app for iPhones and Androids for browsing and shopping.

I found TDH after wasting a few dollars on a DP 97 helmet. I thought it would be an acceptable display piece, *** what a mistake. After searching here I found enough good ideas to start salvaging this POS.
I want to thank all the smart people that posted their work, so I'm adding my 2 cents here. Hopefully this will help others working on a budget. This helmet will end up as a Jango display when all is done.
First item of repair was the lack of flair at the bottom and the general shape problem. I saw numerous references to using hot water to soften the vinyl. While washing the helmet i found that my tap water was hot enough to make it pliable but it heated up too large of an area. I spent $20 at Home Depot for a heat gun so I could focus on smaller areas individually. The common solution to retaining the shape by using a Craft Ring looked like a great idea. I purchased 2 10 inch rings from Hobby Lobby, So far I've only installed one at the bottom, that should be sufficient. I cut the ring so its just long enough to reach from ear to ear and squeezed it down to fit comfortably inside the lower lip. With the heat gun i was able to form it to follow the curve nicely and let the ring push out the bottom to what looked good. I ended up being 9 inches wide from ear to ear and 9.5 inches from front to back. I purposely did not cut out visor area yet because it helped hold the front together and spread the cheeks apart. I purchased a visor from
T-Visor.com that will fit very well when i clean up the inside surfaces. Now I was able to straighten each ear separately with heat gun so they looked even. Next problem was the warped/curved lower cheeks.
I made a template out of scrap plywood to match the shape of outer lower cheek, used a piece of soft packaging foam on the inside so it would conform to bumpy surface and backed that with another piece of wood. After heating entire cheek i clamped the area flat until it cooled. Now just a little bondo and sanding will make the cheek areas look good. The final big problem was the flat dome, after sitting in a box for 15 years it looked quite stupid. I didnt include any before pics, im sure you all know how bad it looked. I saw a member said a guy used a mannequin head to reshape the dome but the inside was so bumpy and uneven that would just transfer those bumps outward. (and i couldn't talk my roommate into letting me use his head !) Im using a 6 inch diameter shipping tube as a work stand so i needed a formable object to push the dome onto. What worked for me was a bag of rice inside a ziploc bag sitting on top of the closed end of tube, it allowed me to heat the whole dome and push it over the rice bag while forming the roundness with my hands. As far as i can see the main shaping is done minus a little bondo sanding, then its ready for some paint. Thanks again to all here at TDH for the info. I'll post more when i can get more done.
EDIT..I had to make front not look so flat, mandibles needed to flair out more at the bottom. New size of bottom skirt is 8.5 ear to ear and 10 front to back.

Small indoor pets considered on application. Inclusions: -Fridge/freezer -Washing Machine -All water consumption -Professional garden maintenance -NBN High Speed Internet available
Hi there, I have a room in my house for rent. Great quiet location, close to shops and supermarkets. Big bedroom with lovely wooden floors, bathroom with shower over bath, and spacious kitchen/living area with air-conditioning/heating. Back garden with lawn, mature trees and vegetable patch. Double-wide storage for your exclusive use, and off street parking. Washing machine and Heat Pump Dryer on premises. I rent the whole house, but the flat is entirely separate to my part, including a separate entrance. You will be directly sharing with my other tenant, James. He's a very decent guy, respectful, clean, and stable. But I'm just next door, so you can always knock on my door if you need something, or just want to hang out. :) I also attend the University, so I'll be happy to give you a lift in that direction if you're going that way. James has a daughter that visits him two days a week or so. She's very sweet, and loves my dog. She's not a yell-y child, and James is careful to be respectful of me, even though I'm in an entirely different part of the house. Coles, Woolies, Shiploads and chemist are all a 2 minute drive/10-15 minute walk. Bunnings is about 5 minutes away. 10 minute drive to centre of town, 20 to the University. Machens Reserve is also a 3 minute walk. Unlimited internet is included in the rent, electricity and water shared between us. Last monthly bill for water was 20 bucks, and electricity was about 120 Solar panels are installed, so that keeps the electrics down. As a side note, I have a greyhound. Her primary function is premium grade resting, but she occasionally visits the garden for a 40 second leg-stretch and may appeal to you for love. So please be ok with dogs!
Open plan kitchen with gas. Gorgeous sun room. Big lounge room. Big main bathroom. Sunny bedrooms. Veggie garden that needs the love of a green thumb. Lemon tree! Cosy ducted heating.
Great views, 5 minute walk to Trevallyn shops, heat pump, 20 min walk to town, 2 min walk to bus stop, fully equipped, large kitchen, wooden floors, washing machine and dryer provided, quiet street, gardener provided by real-estate, rented through Harcourts Launceston
Large, quiet home with lovely view. Sharing with one dog and one cat. Close to city and university. Basic food items and simple meals are provided. Would like undergraduate university students. There is no charge during semester break. Price is based on 5 nights per week, however negotiable if less than 5 or more than 5 nights per week. No household chores are expected except maintaining own room and keeping bathroom and kitchen tidy.
Apartment has a great view of the river and mountains and is 10mins to cbd.The bus stop is immediately outside of the house and the local shops are 10 mins. up the road and include bakery,chemist,deli and cafe which has great coffee. It is a really quiet neighbourhood. The apartment is one bedroom and decorated with art and furnishings from Asia and Morocco.Recently renovated and has heat pump,fridge and washing machine .There is a very friendly dog, which belongs to owner and lives in the very large yard.
The property is located nearby the LGH and is about a 10 walk into the Launceston CBD. I'm probably a 2-5 min walk (tops) to taxi ramps/public transport and local cafes. The house is a cute little cottage which would be perfect for a uni student/worker wanting to be central to town and in the hub of things. The house is furnished with an inbuilt fireplace and has a decent sized courtyard (perfect for entertaining...in the warmer months). Important info: I do have a dog, so it's crucial that if you're interested in moving in you MUST like animals (she's indoor/outdoor). Due to the smaller nature of the house, I won't be accepting anymore animals (sorry, I love them, but there's no room). The room itself isn't currently fully furnished. But, the rest of the house is and of course you're more than welcome to use all kitchen and cooking utensils. So, basically you'll just need a bed and a wardrobe... PS. There is no washing machine. I feel like you guys need to know that. I normally hand wash or take it to the local laundry-mat. Which, is about a 5 minute drive (if there's traffic, and it's Launceston...so no traffic). Rules: (Lame, I know...but gotta have em') I work full-time, basically 6-days a week and generally have to go to bed fairly early, so I would ask that you keep it down (no parties...sorry...I hate myself for saying this #adultlyf) .

Ok I'm about to hit the paint here soon and I'm wondering the armor for ROTJ is what color. Ive seen this http://tdh.prop-planet.com/viewtopic...c=6556&forum=2
but thats all air brush stuff and I don't have that skill going for me. So I'm looking for it in a can, that I know how to use.
I know I need some sort of green and 2 kinds of yellow or orange but what type and from who?
Now I'm good with the JP color. I found a pic on here with all that stuff on there. Has a cat's tail in it at the bottom and I forget who I got it from. I'm just hurting on the shoulders, knees and the other armor parts. Any help would be great.
And pic's would be really nice also

Whats everybody doing to the inside of the their helmets as it relates to painting it. Just Primer or have some tried that spray on truck bed liner Ive seen on old posts?
If you've got a fiberglass helm, you certainly won't need to add the truck bed liner. That was just a silly idea to increase rigidity in the Don Post vinyl helms.
Is primer enough to keep the fiberglass from being problematic? Have no experience with the stuff until recently.
I don't see any reason to paint the inside of a fiberglass helmet other than for cosmetic reasons. The fiberglass will eventually lose the smell it has over time. A nice alternative would be to line it with felt or something similar.
I've seen them painted/primed black to darken the interior. I've also seen them lined with fabric as BKBT mentioned. Personal prefs man, it's all up to you :)
As long as you sand the inside smooth and get rid of any fiberglass splinters that may be lingering around, you should be fine unless, as BKBT noted, you want to do it for cosmetic reasons.
Thanks guys. Its the splinters I was worried about. Didn't know you could sand it and not worry about it. I was thinking you had to seal it some how. I think I'm still gonna prime it though. Thanks again!
tteF aboB,
You're talking about a MSH, right? Mine came with a raw fiberglass finish, and don't want to put your head in that! It's ruff FG, and you need to seal it with either bondo or more fiberglass resin. I sealed mine with an extra coat of resin, about 2 oz. If your going to line your bucket with fabric anyway, you could skip it. But I'd do it just to be on the safe side.
I didn't realize that the inside of your helmet was rough. When I built mine, I did the same thing as Boba Phat & smoothed out the interior with a couple of extra coats of resin. Just for the record though, I did paint the inside of mine. I wanted it to look more finished than raw fiberglass.
I took some foam, stitched some satin over it, and hot glued it in. Feels great, and the helmet doesn't flop around on my head.
Yes, it is the MSH. Will the fiberglass resin I've seen at Walmart work in the automotive section? Thanks for the input guys. I really appreciate it. The foam idea sounds like the route I'll go thanks SC. I just had seen some at the local craft store.
I also recommend foam to use as liner inside the helmet, specially the grey colored one used for audio , electronics packaging or music acoustic purposes. There are different kinds of foam thickness and shapes... the choice is yours.Quote:

Robert :fettrotj
Just cover the foam with some satin, feels nice and smooth on the face. :)
The FG resin from Wal*Mart will work. I get mine from Home DePot. Pick up some mixing cups, craft sticks, and some cheap brushes. Mix the resin and the MEK peroxide, pour it into the helmet, and brush it up the sides. Keep working with the resin until it sets, and you're done!
I would paint the lower part of the inside edge, but as mentioned before, that's just for looks.
Sand down the burs and install a hardhat liner and you're in business.
I coated mine with spray -in "truck bed liner" from a auto parts store.It seemed to add some structure to the helmet amd smoothed it out inside.
Waaaaaaaaa! :(
Soo many people that made their own fett FG buckets! :)
Does anyone wanna make Bobo one for a generous price? =}
(it could be plastic too!)
Or any other parts of the armour ;)

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|Lost in NJ
I must add to this thread as some people made some incorrect statements.
I have sandblasted 3 cars and not found a single distorted panel due to sandblasting. I even tried to warp a panel and could not.
The secret is to understand what you are doing.
I run a pressure blaster at 40 psi.
I open the sand mix valve on the bottom till I can just make out that sand is in the stream.
This gives me low energy impact. I have a small amount of particles traveling with moderate amount of energy. It slowly takes everything off.
On the larger sheet metal panels I try to keep an angle to the work, though my testing proves this is not needed. I have even blasted thin French car metal with no distortion.
We started blasting our own parts when we paid to have a guy blast some Model A parts. They all came back ruined. Of course, they were done with high pressure air and a large quantity of sand in the stream.
For safety I used an air fed hood and a respirator. Sorry guys you only live once and it only costs a few $$ for such protections.

Hi Rich,
Sounds like you're doing a great job! Keep up[ the good work.
I look forward to seeing your pictures.
Hmmm, went paint shopping today, I can't find an epoxy primer for the life of me. Everybody wants to sell me etch primer.
Randy what's the verdict, you recommended a few coats of epoxy and then a urethane primer. I sanded a very small area yesterday and the metal is not as bad as I thought it was, it probably won't take as much build to smooth it out as I first thought. If it's smooth enough just from sanding can I get away with just applying a etch primer to the bare metal?
It seems everything on this car is turning out to be not quite as bad as it looks, which is great.
Rich Lackey
Ok, found the epoxy primer, so I'll stick with the original plan. Epoxy followed by Urethane.
Hi Randy,
Good news! The major dents popped right up as you said they would! It looks like a different roof now, it is already a huge improvement although it seems there is still a lot of work to do before it's perfect.
I can't believe it freaked me out so much, I thought I was going to have to cut the whole roof out and strat from scratch!
I'll post some pictures for you as soon as I can download them off my camera.
I think the rest of the work that will be necessary is easily covered by your 'dent repair' guide, but I'll still keep you posted on how it's going.
Thanks again,
Damn, you explain that stuff well Randy. I will be picturing those concepts each time I work with the stuff.
I know everyone doesn't need to know what is happening on a molecular level. But it really helps me understand how to make that metal do what I want looking at it as you just explained it.
Hi Randy,
Well, unless you are about to set up a shop in Cape Town, I won't be much competition to you and even if you did, I work in the film industry and I love it! So with me at least you are not working yourself out of a job.
Plus, you seem to me to be someone who loves what they do, just like I love telling stories through film, and the great thing about doing something you love, is that usually you become darned good at it.
There will always be others that are in it or come into a industry to make a quick buck, but the quality (or lack thereof) of the work will always show them up for what they are.
I know in my industry quality is about taking the time to craft something beautiful, putting something of yourself into every frame, every shot and often times you can't hope to recover all those hours when it comes time to invoice the client.
But, when all is said and done you know you have done a good job and that it is very likely that client will come back to you over and over again, and tell others about you.
I would much rather be known and remembered for what you pulled off on that Willy's roof, plus tooling up to offer replacement panels for others (any probably many more things I don't know about), than be making quick easy money by taking advantage of people that don't know any better.
Plus you are only 34 for crying out loud! When I began to read though your posts on this forum I thought you were easily in your fifties for some of the experience and wisdom that come across in what you write.
So I say more power to you! for whatever that's worth.
Okay, I'm done with my little spiel now.
I got to removing the seats, old carpets (what was left of them), headliner, and some other interior trim yesterday and I'll continue today, maybe trying to pursuade those dents to pop up.
I don't know if this will change anything, but there has been a interior fire at some point in the car, although the door panels are all still in one piece apart from melted armrests. I am not sure if the fire could have been hot enough to actually be the cause of the roof collapsing as it has, I doubt it, but if it had, would there not be some added complications?
I am not a metal expert (which is why I am writing to you) but I know that metal changes it's chemistry in certain ways when it gets hot and then cools, giving different properties depending on the rate at which it cooled down (and probably also how hot it got in the first place).
Hmm, but then again the vinyl headliner showed no signs of melting, so the roof couldn't have gotten all that hot.
I'll let you know if thosee dents come up as easily as you thought.
Thanks again,
|Randy Ferguson
Hi Rich, (finally!! a guy who isn't afraid to use his real name)
I hope you do keep us posted of your progress. It's a great learning tool for us all. As more of you guys use the methods I constantly ramble on about, I think it will become apparent just how simple it really is. I just hope I don't talk my self out of a job!!!
Believe it or not, it's much easier to teach a guy who has never done any of this type of work before, because they are the ones who will actually pay close attention and follow every rule. I ran into the same problem teaching newbies in the body shop. The guys straight out of high scool with no formal training would hang on my every word and pick it right up, whereas the guys who had gone to "auto body school" THOUGHT they had all the answers and wouldn't listen to anything.
Male ego is our own worst enemy!!!
Randy Ferguson
Thanks so much for your input, it wasn't too in depth at all. I want to know what's going on and the best way to fix it is to know exactly what is wrong with it in the first place.
I hope you don't mind if I keep you posted with how it's coming along. Some step by step help might be what's going to get it back in shape.
Thanks again,
|Randy Ferguson
Mr. Lackey,
It looks bad..........BUT............I "think" it may not really be as bad as it appears. The first step would be to remove the headliner and evaluate the damage from inside. There's a good chance much of it will pop right up to where it belongs with a simple push from underneath. I wouldn't use a hammer to persuade it at this point, so don't get carried away!! Hammering on it will only worsen the condition, creating even more stretched metal and more work for you to repair. If you can't push it up by hand, you can use a porta power (if you have one) or simply use a bottle jack and a board. Something to help spread out the force over as large an area as possible would be a good plan as well. For the most part, what has happened, is the roof has been turned inside-out. There is n doubt some stretched metal as some point, but for now, let;s just concentrate on getting the bulk of it back to where it should be. Once it starts over center, it should pretty well pop right up to where it needs to be.
Getting into just a little metalshaping terminology here. Right now the shape (area) is correct, for the most part, but the form (arrangement) is way off. When shaping a piece of sheet metal, there are two basic things we read as the panel is shaped, that being area and arrangement. The area is the amount of stretch or shrinkage placed into the panel at the right spot to give it the desired final shape. The arrangement is simply bending and twisting it to the proper final form so that it takes on that desired look. This is what's going on with your panel.
The change in total surface area is only slightly compromised, meaning that it's not stretched all that much, however, the arrangement is WAY off.
To further explain this concept, let's take a shop rag for example. You can fold it, wad it, roll it etc., into about any form you want to put it in, but when you lay it out flat, it the same size it was when you started. You do this all day long, and there would be no change in the size of the shop rag. That's because you have done nothing to change the overall area of it.
Now, take that same shop rag and twist it as tight as you can, pull on it in several directions, tug on it for all you're worth!! Now what's happened??? When you lay it out flat again, it's larger than when you started. Why?? because the fibers have been stretched. The surface area has grown, rather than just being re-arranged!! The same happens with metal.
We all get a little freaked out over dents at times, but what it boils down to is learning how to read the metal, in order to tell it where to go. Overcoming the fear of failure is the #1 secret to success. You must always be in total control of the metal. YOU are it's master!! Never allow it to control you!!
Once you have the majority of the dents pushed up, I would suggest removing the rust. First you want to make sure the dents will come up as easily as I think they will before spending a lot of time removing rust. The rust will need to be removed before proceeding with the final dent repair though, as you don't want to hammer on rusty metal. It'll drive the rust into the good metal, making even deeper imperfections to deal with.
My apologies if I've gone deeper than you'd like, but I think it will help you understand it better once you really get going on it.
I'll need to look at the rockers and floorpans to give you sound advice on those. The floorpans and lower door skin should be fairly easy. I think the rockers shouldn't be too bad, but I haven't looked closely at one of these in a while.
|Oops, seems I can only attach one file at a time. Here's the other one.
Randy, here are a couple pictures of the roof damage. There are a few more pictures of the car as it is in my gallery.
Any suggestions you have would be very welcome.
Thanks for the explanation, I'll post some pictures just a soon as I figure out how.
The door jambs are actually in great shape, still have a decent coat of paint on them, so can probably get away without blasting at all.
Thanks again, I actually can't wait to get your advice on the roof, you are a very good authority to tell me if it's repairable or not as I actually may be making a mountain out of a molehill as such, just because I don't really know what can and can't be done.
Just something else quick, the only other damage I have to cut out and replace is the floorpan, both the rocker panels and the bottom door skin of the drivers side door (would be your passenger side I guess as this one is RHD), the other doors are very solid apart from the exterior surface rust.
As I don't have easy access to aftermarket replacement sheet metal in this country, will it be fairly easy for me to fabricate the floor, rocker panels and lower door skin from scratch?
I'll get those pictures up ASAP.
|Randy Ferguson
The pictures seem to be loading fine now. A little slow perhaps, but they are loading!! If you still can't get them, let me know and we'll work something out. It would be good if you could post pictures of your roof too.
As for the neval jelly, it's a mild phosphoric acid based rust remover in a "jelly" type substance, for lack of a better term.
It will stay on vertical panels and will also remain wetter longer than thin rust removers normally used. I've found that covering it with Saran Wrap, or whatever you have available as a thin plastic film, will also keep it wet longer, as it slows the evaporation rate.
I've used this trick for keeping paint stripper wet, so I tried it the other day with the naval jelly. It works!!
If you can't find the naval jelly there, get whatever type of rust remover you can and it will work. You may have to lay out a cloth on the surface and soak it with the product, but I imagine the plastic wrap would work on it as well. The trick is to keep the area wet at all times. Only work a small area at a time, rather than the entire panel, as this will help to keep it wet and it won't get away from you. Now, it's possible to work several panels at a time if you set up a production line.
Also, If the door jambs and such are rusted, you can get by with blasting those areas, just stay off the exterior body panels. You go around fender edges, trunk lid openings, etc. with the blaster. This will speed up the process.
Send us some pictures!!!
Randy Ferguson
I just read though your guide on repairing the Willys roof! Amazing stuff but the pictures don't seem to show on the post now. Do you have it in some kind of document form or is there any way you could email it to me with the pictures if I give you my email address?
I have one heck of a job ahead of me on my roof!
Ok guys, I get the idea about the sandblasting, or any type of media blasting for that matter... ok on cast iron exhaust manifolds, not ok on sheet metal. I'm just glad I didn't do it yet!
These cars are not easy to come by in South Africa (even though they were manufactured here... mine is a RHD 4dr Bel Air built in Port Elizabeth), but reproduction sheet metal is impossible to come by without importing from the U.S. (at great expense).
Therefore I cannot afford to ruin anything on this body as it's the only one I have. This is also the problem with the roof, it is badly damaged, not just dented but creased in places right to the drip rail. It's a mess. I have no choice but to repair it... this is actually my biggest worry at the moment, but not the subject being discussed here, although I would appreciate anyone's advice. Anyone fabricated thier own replacement roof? I have another thread on this problem, see "Repair of large dents in roof?" (not sure how to include a link directly to another thread yet).
MartinSR, thanks for the link to the thread on rust removal, I had read that thread before posting but did not know the dangers associated with media blasting so still assumed it was quicker and easier. One question regarding the process described in this thread, and I hope it doesn't sound stupid, what is naval jelly? I have never heard of it here in South Africa, maybe we call it something else.
So in summarizing am I right in thinking my safe options are basically down to chemical stripping or good old sand paper and elbow grease (or a DA sander), and then as Randy suggested a couple coats of epoxy primer right on the bare metal, followed by a high build urethane primer.
This being the case, I have more time than money to put into this project anyway so elbow grease it is.
I actually apologize for bringing up this whole very tired subject that has probably been covered a zillion times, but I am grateful for your expertise, you guys may have saved my car.

Logged on to NBA League Audio Pass and listening.
me too. This could be one of those annoying games where Darko haunts us. We don't have the size to match up well against big centers. It would be the height of irony (and vomit-y) if Darko turns out to be the guy we really needed to man the center position. We'll see. Betting on Darko being good has almost always been a big-time speculative bet.
The starting lineup tonight is a "Lee special" Bynum, Gordon, CV, Daye and Monroe.
Bynum is not in Lee's rotation at all! Sounds as if Daye is playing strong to start, guys really getting in the passing lanes too!
About 3 minutes in - Daye has 10 points. Monroe 2 assists. There just is no chance that Daye's getting lost in shuffle unless he just starts playing really bad. He's been too outstanding to not have earned major playing time. What position? I've got no idea - but he's going to see time at the 1, 2, 3 & 4 this season - mostly the 2,3&4.
Daye starting off 3-4 and 8pts in teh first 3 minutes. Monroe's lack of athleticism IS A PROBLEM!
coring so fast I can't even keep up!
Daye nails another, 16-11 us
They hit a perimeter shot, Gordon scores taking it right in on Darko. I am listening by going to ESPN.com, choosing NBA, then Scores, then listen. A dialog box comes up and I chose Detroit. No problem, except this link did not come up until a few minutes into the game. Apparently I missed some fireworks by Daye.
Why did you say Monroe's lack of athleticism is a problem. He's sounding really good tonight. He has 2 credited assists, but Daye sounds like he blew a layup costing him the 3rd assist. Daye with 12 points. 6:40 into the 1st period.
Chat is open!!!! http://www.pistonsforum.com/playoff-chat/
The Daye fireworks having been going on the entire quarter so far.
Daye can ball!
Looks like Daye is dawning eh
When you see him play, you'll understand, he's having trouble finishing because he has no explosiveness off the floor.
Pekovic in, drops a hook shot while backing down on Monroe. Villanueva travels. Beasly, Johnson, Pekovic, Ridnour, Tolliver Daye misses 3. Tolliver misses. We miss. Tolliver misses No subs for us yet, still Bynum, Gordon, Daye, CV, Monroe Webster in for Minny. 19-15 as they make free throws. JMAX in for Monroe. 4 to go in quarter.

Russ Johnson
Russ Johnson is in his seventh year as the men's pole vault coach at Rocky Top, and he will work alongside jumps coach Jerome Romain for the third season.
Johnson returned to The Hill in 2006 with the goal of helping Tennessee's pole vaulters continue to build on their long history of dominance in the Southeastern Conference. He has done exactly that, and with great consistency, since taking over coaching duties in the event.
Johnson's vaulters have won 10 SEC titles during his tenure at Tennessee. UT pole vaulters have combined to score 176.80 points at 12 SEC Championships since Johnson began coaching, an average of just under 15 points per competition.
Joe Berry pulled off a season sweep in 2011, walking away with SEC Indoor and Outdoor crowns in the vault. The junior cleared 17-7 1/2 indoors and soared over 17-8 1/2 outdoors to win titles four and five of his collegiate career. Redshirt freshman Chase Brannon was fifth outdoors (PR of 16-6 3/4) and tied for eighth inside at the league meets, while junior Robert Rasnick was seventh indoors.
An injury to Berry lessened the point production in 2010, but Rasnick (sixth) and Berry (t8th) managed to score indoors. Rasnick and Brad Holtz also qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
In 2009, Johnson's vaulters posted a 1-2-4 finish at the SEC Indoor Championships and a 1-4-7 outcome at the SEC Outdoor meet. The champion at both meets was Berry, who posted his second- and third-straight SEC pole vault crowns under Johnson to go along with a runner-up finish.
Berry's wins, along with top-eight finishes from Holtz and Michael Ayers both indoors and outdoors, meant Johnson had coached at least three athletes to scoring performances at five-consecutive conference meets.
In 2008, Johnson directed Michael Hogue to his third-straight SEC crown indoors and Berry to a conference title outdoors, while Holtz managed two scoring performances and Ayers secured one.
Outdoors in 2007, Johnson had four vaulters score 24.5 points in the pole vault to give Tennessee the lead in the team standings on Saturday afternoon, helping the Vols to the program's 25th conference outdoor title.
Johnson also is responsible for putting Hogue and Berry on the program's all-time outdoor top-10 list in the pole vault. Berry is ninth at 5.41m (17-9) and Hogue is 10th at 5.40m (17-8 1/2 indoors). Holtz sits at 12th on the all-time list with a top clearance of 5.30m (17-4.5).
Johnson also boasts a successful career as a Tennessee athlete. He currently stands second on Tennessee's storied pole vault top-10 list with a best of (5.65m) 18-6.5, trailing only collegiate record holder Lawrence Johnson.
Serving as a fifth-year coach in 2000 and training post-collegiately in 2000 and 2001, Johnson remained involved in the pole vault and has continued to diligently study the event. He also holds firm beliefs about the importance of developing strong student-athletes, authoring two Academic All-America seasons himself.
Johnson received his bachelor's (2000) and master's (2002) degrees in sports medicine from the University of Tennessee. He went on to earn a master's in physical therapy from the Medical College of Georgia in 2004.
He currently works as a physical therapist and site coordinator at Ortho Tennessee Therapy, which is part of Knoxville Orthopedic Clinic. Johnson is also a Certified Athletic Trainer and Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. He is married to Lesly (Love) Johnson, a former Lady Vol pole vaulter and All-America sprinter. They welcomed a new daughter to the family in 2009, Lily Charlotte Johnson.

MEDFORD - Sophomore Beau Wood (Sherwood Forest, MD) led nine Jumbos who scored goals with four as the seventh-ranked Tufts men's lacrosse team rolled to a 15-5 win against #13 Amherst in a NESCAC game at Bello Field on Saturday afternoon.
Defensively, Tufts held the Lord Jeffs to one goal in the first half and two over the first three quarters. The Jumbos led 12-2 entering the fourth, when Amherst added three goals. Senior Nick Rhoads (McLean, VA) was 16 for 22 on face-offs for Tufts, including 15 for 17 in the first three quarters.
The first quarter was tightly contested, as Tufts came out with a 1-0 lead on a goal by senior Ben Saperstein (Hewlett, NY).
However, the Jumbos would score the first four goals of the second quarter and never look back. Junior Andrew Fiamengo (New Fairfield, CT) assisted on two of the goals, as Tufts took a 5-0 lead. Senior Cole Cherney (Chappaqua, NY) scored Amherst's first goal at 4:12 of the second and the score was 5-1 Tufts at halftime.
The Jumbos put the game away in the third, scoring six unanswered goals to lead 11-1 on a man-up tally by senior Sean Kirwan (Boonton Township, NJ) at 4:25. Wood had two of the goals during the run. An Alex Fox goal (Garden City, NY) for Amherst was followed by a man-down goal by Jumbo freshman Chris Schoenhut (Mill Neck, NY) to close the third with Tufts ahead 12-2.
Tufts had two of the first three in the fourth for a 14-3 advantage, before sophomore Aaron Mathias (Ridgefield, CT) and Fox scored consecutive goals for the Lord Jeffs. Jumbo senior Jordan Korinis (Ridgewood, NJ) had the game's final goal for Tufts.
Senior co-captain Kevin McCormick (Laytonsville, MD) and sophomore Peter Bowers (Contestoga, PA) both had two goals and two assists for Tufts. Nine Jumbos overall finished with multiple points. Defenders Dan Alles (Rockville Centre, NY) and Mark Findaro (Vienna, VA) both had four groundballs. Sophomore goalie Patton Watkins (Chattanooga, TN) made 14 saves in the winning effort.
Mathias and Cherney both had a goal and assist for Amherst to back-up Fox's two scores. Senior Dan Routh (Allendale, NJ) caused two turnovers, while Fox led with three groundballs. Both starting goalie Sam Jakimo (Woodbury, NY) and replacement Gregory Majno (Sudbury, MA) made nine saves for the Lord Jeffs.
The hosts had advantages in all of the statistics, including 54-39 in shots and 40-28 in groundballs.
Tufts has won five in a row to improve to 10-2 overall and 6-1 in NESCAC. They play at Bates on Tuesday night at 7 pm. Amherst (8-4, 4-3 NESCAC), which has lost four of its last five, is at Connecticut College on Tuesday at 4:30 pm.

Chalet Jacques Reviews
We have just returned from here as a group of ten. The chalet is in an excellent location, only minutes walk from the bus stops to the slopes and the city centre. Beautifully chalet with an amazing view from the balconies. A nice cosy atmosphere always awaited after a day on the slopes. Our chalet hosts Charlie and Kate made our holiday. The food which we were cooked was amazing with not a bad meal the whole week, and plenty of wine! This is a excellent place to stay in chamonix!

Jeff Thiebert is the organization's national grassroots director. He was at Stephen F. Austin State University giving students one more thing to think about. He told them they're inheriting the national debt. "And ultimately, who is going to bear the burden of this? You guys," Thiebert said before a classroom of political science and economic majors.
Thiebert teaches people their pay check and future revolve around the nation's outstanding bills. This morning, the USA owed over 12.8 trillion dollars.
"It's important for them to know they have a place in this budget. They have a place in this economy and as their work-life progresses, they're going to face some challenges, " Thiebert explained.
That's something Thiebert says the nation can no longer afford. The options are pretty basic. " We're going to have to increase taxes, cut spending or borrow, borrow, borrow."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
How long have you had this dog? He should be getting some kind of oil in his diet, fish oil, coconut oil are great for dogs. And yes, it can take up to 6 months to make a real transformation.
If his skin is dry, you don't want to overbathe, but you can do a hot oil treatment. Put about 1/4 cup of coconut oil into a gallon of hot tap water, pour it all over him and make sure it gets down to the skin. Let it sit on him for about 20 minutes (I usually crate the dog with some towels during this time). Then bathe him with a mild shampoo such as Earthbath. The shampoo will remove some of the oil, but not all of it. You can also do a leave-in oil treatment after the bath, about a tablespoon of coconut oil in a gallon of hot tap water, pour over the dog after the bath and let dry.
I do a version of this at my grooming salon, I use fancier oils but the concept is the same. It really helps those dogs with dry skin and brittle coat.
He actually had a full physical a month ago (cost a fortune.. But I was worried because he only had a little check up when I first got him)
In the first check up he had the dr said he had a skin issue. Like dry skin or something.
And it cleared up pretty good .
He was a stray in Cali before the trainer got him and I took him.
It's not a horrible smell. Just a doggy smell(: but I'd just like to get him a nice shinny coat.
I don't give a oil suppliment because hadn't decided on what one to give him.
I fallow the diet of a lady who feeds her dogs raw and of of what or read here. He get his % of OM MB MM ect.
And he has been doing great on it!
Maybe it just hasn't sunk in to his system yet (a lady who feeds raw says a full change after starting raw can take up to 6 months )
get a thorough Vet physical to determine if the dog has parasites, internal, external . Might need a worming . Might be deficient because some worm is robbing him of nutrition.
Vet will determine whether there is a health problem , thyroid , hormonal problem .
Make sure you are feeding high quality protein , and a source of minerals , essential fatty acids.
Make sure you don't have an underlying bacterial infection or fungal problem on the skin to give you that musty odor.
lots of articles and suggestions in Dogs Naturally Magazine Dogs Naturally Magazine
I've really only had one experience like this, with a Rottweiler actually. She was on a raw diet, supplements, everything I could think of, but still that nasty coat. What I ended up using was a combination of a high quality shampoo/conditioner and Isle of Dog's royal jelly supplement. I washed her down REALLY thoroughly and then spent the next few weeks rubbing in the royal jelly every few days and brushing her down between applications of the supplement. Then at the end of the month I did another thorough wash and the royal jelly again. She shed horribly for a bit, but I think she may have been replacing dead, malnourished coat. After about two months, her coat was amazing, and actually a bit soft.
Depending on the dog, the effectiveness of this may vary, but that was the process that worked for me. After her coat was restored, I stopped using the royal jelly stuff but her coat stayed pretty much the same. Maybe not quite as soft because I wasn't using the fancy supplement, but it was still very healthy.

You really shouldn't have to bathe that much. I've got a dog on kibble and she had her first bath in over a year a few days ago. Her coat didn't smell at all. It's just been so long since her last bath, so I gave her one.
What kind of raw diet are you feeding? Is it a balanced one? You're feeding the right ratios of meat, bones, and organs?
Dull stinky coat no matter what? Is it me?
Okay do I was reading through some bathing threads and read some of you only bathe four times a year?? How do you do it??
I got Elios from a abusive family and he was seriously brown when I got him. Never had a bath. (He is a light liver) and since I've gotten him I've got him on hip supliment and raw diet and he eats a raw egg once a week. But his coat gets so dull and stinky so fast and he sheds like crazy of course.
I'm so jealous of people with these nice shinny coated dogs . Hahah
Why is Elios coat so dull and unhealthy almost?
Should I feed him anything that will help? AND if so what is the best?
Thanks a ton guys (:

College - Bound Vaccinations
It's finally here. From the time your child was an infant, you knew this day was coming. He or she is entering college! If your young adult is moving away, there's shopping, packing, traveling arrangements, paperwork, dorms and good-byes filling up the precious last living-at-home days.
New opportunities for educational, personal and professional growth are just on the other side of those academic doors. But, there's one more thing that you need to make sure is taken care- even if your child is remaining home and going to a community or local college.
Vaccinations need to be updated. Many colleges will not allow a student to attend classes, or live in a dorm, if their vaccinations are not updated, and immunization records filed with the school.
Colleges want to know that their students have been vaccinated against the basics - Diphtheria, tetanus, measles, mumps and rubella. But increasingly, they want to know that their students have been inoculated against bacterial meningitis.
Dorm rooms, fraternities and sororities are breeding grounds for contagious diseases. Unhealthy lifestyles can also lower a person's immune system. Lack of sleep, unsanitary conditions, bad nutrition, drinking and exposure to cigarette smoke and drugs can put a child at risk for a host of medical problems.
Bringing these topics up is not to say that all college bound students will partake in unhealthy lifestyles, it's simply a reminder that large populations in close quarters can put you at a higher risk for disease. That's why colleges are becoming more adamant about student vaccinations.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends college students, especially those living in dormitories, receive these vaccinations:
- Meningococcal conjugate vaccine, which helps prevent meningococcal disease. If they received this vaccine before their 16th birthday, they should get a booster dose before going to college for maximum protection.
- Tdap vaccine, which protects against tetanus, diphtheria, and pertussis (also known as whooping cough.)
- HPV vaccine, which protects against the viruses that cause most cervical cancers, anal cancer, and genital warts.
- Seasonal flu vaccine.
- Another vaccination to consider is the Hepatitis A vaccine, which protects against this serious disease caused by a virus that attacks the liver.
Be sure and check with your college to see what vaccinations are required, and ask your family doctor or pediatrician about their recommendations.
Entering college is one of those milestones in life. It's exciting and humbling for kids and parents. Make sure your child has the vaccinations he or she needs as they enter this new world of opportunity!

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 : Tests and Reviews

Try our side-by-side camera comparison tool
Further readings for the Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
Around 16 months after the launch of the Mark IV, Sony has released the latest iteration in its RX100 series of high-end compact cameras. The Sony RX100 V features a similar 20.1Mp 1"-type BSI-CMOS sensor and the same equivalent 24-70mm f/1.8-2.8 lens as its predecessor, the Mark IV. So no changes there; instead, Sony has focused on some serious performance enhancements for the Mark V, including a new autofocus system and faster frame rate. The Sony RX100 V features a new 315-point phase-detection autofocus system that offers around 65% frame coverage, as well as face detection autofocus, which is particularly useful for shooting video. Continuous shooting has been significantly improved as well, up to a rapid 24fps (frames per second) for both RAW and JPEG files, with full autofocus and exposure tracking up to an impressive 150 shots.
The Sony RX1R II is the successor to the popular RX1 and RX1R premium compacts. It inherits the same 35mm f2 Zeiss Sonnar lens, but features the 42-Mpix sensor of the Sony A7R II and boasts a built-in pop-up style EVF. Read on to find out how well this new update performs.
DxO, the same company behind DxOMark, has introduced DxO ONE, a new pocket-sized connected camera designed to capture images with a quality and caliber previously unobtainable in a one-inch sensor camera. The DxO ONE camera's score of up to 85 puts it on par with many DSLR cameras, such as the Nikon D7200 and the Sony A7S (both with a score of 87), and is well above such Canon DSLRs as the EOS 5D Mark III (81) and the 7D Mark II (70). This score also places it in third among compact cameras, just behind the full-frame Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX1 and the DSC-RX1R, which score 93 and 91, respectively.
Panasonic's latest iteration of the LX series premium compact eschews the usual 1/1.7-inch sensor for the larger Micro-Four-Thirds type found the firm's mirrorless models. It also has a Leica 24-75mm f1.7-2.8 zoom, a traditional rangefinder style top plate with EVF, a hot shoe, and manual mechanical controls. Read on to see how well this intriguing new model performs.
Utilising a 16Mp APS-C sensor, the Leica T is the first mirrorless hybrid option from the renowned German camera manufacturer. With a price tag of $1850 (body only), and lenses costing the same or more, it's a serious investment for any photographer. So how does image quality on the Leica T stack up against the competition? Let's analyze the DxOMark sensor scores to find out.
Sony has launched a new model in its RX range of high-end compacts. Boasting a new faster lens, built-in pop-up viewfinder and large 1"-type sensor, with a 20.1Mp resolution, is the new Sony RX100 III the ultimate point and shoot camera?
The highly configurable RED Epic Dragon is the latest version of the firm's original Epic-M Digital Still and Motion Camera (DSMC). Although we are more used to analyzing still cameras at DxOMark, we've had a unique opportunity to assess RAW output from a prototype using all of our usual industry standard tests. As the results were extraordinary, we thought we would share the findings. Read on to find out how this high-performance sensor performs.
Leica's latest addition to the range of APS-C X cameras adopts a 16-Mpix sensor and useful 28-70mm equivalent Vario-Elmar zoom. Read on to find out how well it performs.
Street photography is an appealing genre for many photographers, and has become increasingly popular in recent years thanks to the proliferation of small high quality digital cameras and lenses. We've put together a concise round up of moderate wide-angle and telephoto lenses from each of the major camera systems. Read on to see which of the models we've chosen and what to expect from them in terms of image quality.

RX1 Sonnar lens mid zone dip
Hi there,
I was wondering if you noticed a mild mid zone dip with the RX1 lens? I just got the cam and the lens seems to dip slightly about 1/3 out from the centre. I also find that the corners are sharper than this area....?

You are right, sharpness is lower at 1/3 of the field.

Sharpness at f2.0 vs f3.2
I like the RX1 a lot, but center sharpness gets A LOT better when stopping down from f2.0 to f2.8 or f3.2. At 100% view, this is fully field relevant: Details and sharpness at 2.0 are okay, from 3.2 they are brilliant. I must admit to be somewhat disappointed by that. Does this practical view fit to Your lab results (which are somewhat abstract to me), i.e. is that "perfectly normal" or did I get a bad copy ?
Yours sincerely

Re: Sharpness at f2.0 vs f3.2
Hello Martin,
Thanks for your interest in DxOMark.
You are right but we would not say "a lot", as we measured a slight loss of sharpness at f/2.0 and we did not measure any significant difference between f/2.8 and f/4.
To be convinced you should have a look to the acutance field map.
Best regards,

nice review
Thank you for the review. Looks to be a remarkable camera!
Though not really cross comparable, the Pentax K5 apsc dslr's measure an equally very healthy 14.3 EVS... until one can afford the sony the K5 is still pretty remarkable, especially for those like me on a budget.
We live in a remarkable age to have so many great cameras and reviews at such an easy reach.
Thanks again!

DXO: What is selected for RX1's Transmission to decide it's SNR Score?
I would like to know what is selected for RX1's Transmission Score to decide it's SNR.
T = 2.1 or 2.0?
And if the above selection is not correct, RX1's SNR Score may be changed?
(E.g. If the selected value is 2.0 and the real value is 2.1, the total amount of the light, which reaches to Sensor in real value, is about 10% lower than the selected value)

Re: DXO: What is selected for RX1's Transmission to decide it's SNR Score?
Thanks for your comment.
You're right regarding the potential bias. In the example you note, it could be close to 14% meaning less than ¼ of Stop.
As we cannot measure the TStop on compact camera we decide to use the aperture, so in this case 2.0.

High ISO way better than Sony A99
What's up with the RX1 doing so much better than the A99 on the high ISO score? I thought they're supposed to have similar sensors but the RX1 seems to perform significantly better. Is that all chalked up to the A99's pellicle mirror?
Added by Calistoga Tony | January 09 , 2013
Another mistake?
First it's saying that Sony uses BSI type image sensors in their dSLRs, (they don't, those are Exmor "R") and now the RX100 has an APS-C sensor? It doesn't. The RX100 uses a 1 inch sensor, like the Nikon 1 series.

The DxO mark team has answered to this question of their facebook page. Here it is :
The Fuji X-Pro 1 and X-E1 sensor does not use a Bayer matrix, but rather a very different matrix whose pixels are arranged in rows of three colors — a technology called "X-Trans", inspired by the naturally irregular distribution of silver halide crystals on film. As for the Fuji X10, XF1 and X-S1, they use a CMOS EXR sensor with yet another different arrangement.
The demosaicing algorithms of DxOMark lab that allow it to analyse digital camera RAW photo files were designed to process the output of sensors using the Bayer matrix.
Testing these five Fuji cameras would necessitate completely rewriting our demosaicing algorithms to enable them to process the data received from this different matrix. Although DxO Labs tries to respond to photographers' requests to provide test for specific camera models, there are no plans for testing these five Fuji cameras in the short term.

Time to start rewriting now. X Pro-1 and its successors are not going away.

My main reason for keeping bees in the park is because I don't have a place to keep them myself. I live in an apartment complex and altough were looking for a house I think having the apiary in a community place would be a fantastic addition to our parks. Donations could go to upkeeping the beeyard and proceedes could benifit the local parks and services; or some other charitable organization.I understand your issue place an add on craig's list or find another beek who will let you keep some hives at his place until you can move them to yoursIIs someone going to get stung? Probobly. Is a vandal going to come in and destroy all my gear? Not out of the question. Is a curious teenager going to get to close and get severly injuered, possibly die? I don't remember the last time I heard about that happening...but the posibility is there. We'd do our best to make sure that dosn't happen and if it happens that we have resources close by to deal with the situation. Why should they nix this idea on the "what ifs" when the benifits are garunteed?I hear you on this as well but how are you going to explain to people they can't use the park today because of the drought the bees are a little defensive and they don't want to be botheredInsurance..sure its probobly not going to be cheap but it never is ^^.I doubt they will insure you either way actuaries will cut you to piecesIf I find any of those links I'll post'em. Thanks again for all the responses.What is the liability insurance on the golf corse? How did you go about setting that up with the owners? Any golfers get stung that you know about? What about vandals there?last i checked the golf balls don't chase you around the course when you make them mad
Education is the big one. Imagine setting up feild trips or group visits. Honey tastings at the park. Bees wax seminar. Being a resource to the community when swarms around out and about. A place to put the bees after a hive removal built into a house.
Parks are not held to the same negligence standards as places of commercial enterprise. Public enitites, not for profit orgs and most relgious institituions are held to far more lenient standards and as such, warning of bees is all that would be needed. I have come to find there are a handful of places where hives are kept publicly. In france, this is common. Botanical gardens, are on example where they exist. I really want a public hive. Yes there are issues, but they can be managed and overcome.
