Designed around nuance rather than excess, this Ibanez Gary Willis Signature 5-string fretless marks the 20th anniversary of one of modern bass’s most influential voices. The instrument presents a restrained, purposeful aesthetic: a compact, ergonomically contoured body finished in a warm sunburst that lets the wood speak without distraction. Nothing here feels ornamental. Every curve serves balance, comfort, and control.
The fretless fingerboard invites a highly expressive playing approach, rewarding precision with singing sustain and the unmistakable “mwah” that has defined Gary Willis’s sound across decades of jazz fusion and modern improvisation. The extended-range five-string format adds depth and flexibility, anchoring melodic exploration with a confident low register while maintaining clarity across the neck. The lined fretless layout offers visual reference without interrupting the fluid feel under the fingers.
Seen in a straightforward, lived-in setting, the bass reads as a serious working instrument rather than a display piece. Details like the anniversary back plate and signature headstock quietly signal its significance, but the overall impression remains focused and disciplined. This is a tool built for players who value articulation, touch, and dynamic control—an anniversary model that honors a legacy by staying resolutely musical.

Designing bicycles can be a passion being a stickler for details and precision engineering.
In this sense, Velogical´s customer Sven Knoblich from Kassel in northern Hessen/Germany may be regarded as a kind of jewellery designer for bicycle enthusiasts. Integrating our Velogical rim-dynamo, the Sport model, into his latest randonneur bicycle project, he didn´t hesitate to make a manufactory interface with the potential to be copied by other fine art frame builders or OEMs. We are pround to present his making-of photo series and we invite you to have a look at his artwork as a painter for bicycle frames (nickname "Knobi" at forum rennrad-news):

Compact 24x36 rare en France. "Le LK est un appareil à cellule couplée. Une aiguille est visible dans le viseur et sur le dessus, pour ajuster la vitesse et l'ouverture en fonction de la lumière mesurée par le posemètre (au sélénium). Il n'a pas de télémètre, pour cela, il faut passer au LKE, modèle supérieur dans la série. Comme le Contessa LKE, le LK fut en premier lieu proposé avec la griffe porte-accessoire non synchronisée fixée au centre du capot et une double fenêtre chromée en façade. Par la suite, la griffe fut synchronisée et décentrée à main gauche et les deux fenêtres n’en firent plus qu’une seule." (JPHB sur le site "Collection-Appareils")

Las Ruinas de Tulum. Tulum Ruins. Mexico. Oct/2016
Tulum archaeological site is relatively compact compared with many other Maya sites in the vicinity, and is one of the best-preserved coastal Maya sites. Its proximity to the modern tourism developments along the Mexican Caribbean coastline and its short distance from Cancún and the surrounding "Riviera Maya" has made it a popular Maya tourist site in the Yucatan.
It was the site of a Mayan port which was supported by up to 1000 residents before the arrival of the Spanish. The ruin's tropical beach backdrop is the main attraction of this picturesque, much-visited small ruin on the shore of the Caribbean Sea
Each Mayan city had a specific purpose, and Tulum was no exception. It was a seaport, trading mainly in turquoise and jade.
As well as being the only Mayan city built on a coast, Tulum was one of the few protected by a wall.
Made of limestone, the 784-metre wall encloses the site on three sides, is seven metres thick, and varies between three and five metres in height. No doubt this fortification helped preserve the seaport.
Like the questions which surround the decline of the Mayan world, there are several theories as to why a wall surrounds Tulum. One has a Mayan population of 600 on the inside, protected from invaders. Another suggests only priests and nobility were housed within the walls, while peasants were kept on the outside.
After entering the ruins through one of five doorways in the wall, visitors are greeted by a field of gently-rolling hills. Black and grey stone outcroppings, which were once buildings, dot the sun-baked landscape.

A península mexicana de Yucatan, onde ficam as cidades de Cancun e Playa del Carmen, é uma região que foi habitada séculos atrás pela civilização maia. As antigas cidades ocupadas por este povo agora são ruínas preservadas e tornaram-se atrações turísticas muito visitadas. Um dos sítios arqueológicos mais importantes é o de Tulum, a cidade murada que se encontra de frente para o mar do caribe mexicano.
Esta cidade era designada pelos maias pelo nome de Zamá, que significa cidade da aurora. Tulum é também uma palavra maia para barreira ou parede, o que se entende facilmente pois a cidade encontra-se rodeada de espessa muralha protectora.
O primeiro a identificar a cidade foi Juan Díaz, que em 1518 fazia parte da expedição de Juan de Grijalva. A sua descrição de Tulum é a de uma cidade rica e magnífica, à imagem de Sevilha na Espanha. No entanto, o primeiro estudo detalhado do sítio deveu-se aos famosos exploradores John Lloyd Stephens e Frederick Catherwood, que publicaram em 1843 o livro Incidents of Travel in Yucatan.
Actualmente, milhares de turistas visitam as ruínas de Tulum diariamente, sobretudo em excursões organizadas. Tulum é o terceiro sítio arqueológico do México mais visitado atrás de Teotihuacan e Chichén Itzá e à frente de Monte Albán.

Overview:
ManufacturerSaturn Corporation (General Motors)
The S-Series are a family of compact cars from the Saturn automobile company. This was the first series of Saturn vehicles. The automobile platform, the Z-body, was developed entirely in-house at Saturn and shared very little with the rest of the General Motors model line. It implemented a spaceframe design, also seen on some Pontiacs, which meant that the side panels did not carry load and could use plastic pieces instead of metal. These polymer panels were dent-resistant—something that remained a selling point for Saturn until the brand's demise. The S-series was sold from the fall of 1991 through the end of the 2002 model year, with partial redesigns in 1996 & 2000 (sedans) and 1997 & 2001 (coupes).
The S-series debuted with SL (“sedan level”) models in 1991 for the 1992 model year, a 2-door sports coupe designated SC joined for the 1992 model year and the SW (“sedan wagon”) joined the lineup for 1993.
Taiwan and Japan were the only two Asian countries to import Saturns. From 1992 to 1996, the first- and second-generation sedans plus the first-generation coupes were sold in Taiwan. From 1996 to 2003, the second-generation versions were sold in right-hand drive in Japan, and some Toyota Netz dealerships, and former Isuzu dealerships did offer Saturn products until 2001. The first generation vehicles were not in compliance with Japanese Government regulations concerning exterior dimensions and maximum engine displacement requirements, while the second and third generation sedan and wagon were, however, the coupe was not for all generations.
Canada imported all available Saturn models from 1992 onwards.
A change partway through the 1999 model year gave the SC a small suicide door on the driver's side. This type of door had previously been used in extended cab pickup trucks, but was an innovation in coupe design.
The S-series was replaced by the larger Saturn Ion in 2003, which was unable to match the S-series' sales numbers before the end of its own production at the end of 2007.
Coupes and sedans equipped with the base single overhead cam engine and a manual transmission were among the most fuel-efficient cars available in the United States when they were produced, reaching 40 miles per US gallon (5.9 L/100 km; 48 mpg-imp) in EPA highway tests at the time (this would likely translate to 36 miles per US gallon (6.5 L/100 km; 43 mpg-imp) under current methodologies)
S-Series 2nd Generation
The second generation SL and SW were made from model year 1996 to 1999. The redesign resulted in a more curvaceous look for the SL/SW, which gave a slight increase in interior room and doorway size as well as an updated appearance. Mechanically, very little was changed from the previous model. The biggest changes for 1996 were the OBDII PCM, an all new sequential fuel injection setup that utilized a first ever "compress sense" cam sensor setup (cam sensor input was achieved by the ignition module sensing the amount of amperage it took to fire cylinder number 4. More amperage meant TDC compression, less meant TDC exhaust) in lieu of a conventional camshaft position sensor. Also full spark control (timing and firing of the ignition coils) was achieved solely in the engine control module as opposed to the ignition module.
A few minor changes were made in the mid-1998 model year. Due to multiple complaints of noise from the trip odometer on the 1995-early '98 gauge cluster, a new cluster with a digital odometer was introduced, rear disc brakes were deleted as an option due to high cost and very little improvement in braking performance over the conventional rear drum setup, the performance/normal mode switch was deleted from the transmission in lieu of new ECU software that learned the driving patterns of the operator and adjusted shift patterns accordingly, and a new larger muffler was introduced to reduce engine exhaust NVH levels.
Models made late in the 1999 model year (sometimes referred to as "1999.5" models) received improvements to both SOHC and DOHC engines that did not affect power output, but did smooth out some of the harshness and tendencies toward oil consumption associated with them. These changes included revised pistons (SOHC engines now used the same (flat top) pistons as the DOHC engines instead of the old dished pistons), connecting rods, crankshaft counterweights and the now narrower twin cam cylinder head featured a new roller rocker setup with hydraulic tappets and roller cams replacing the conventional bucket lifter setup of the previous engine. Fuel economy of these refined models also saw a measurable improvement. Also introduced in 1999 for vehicles equipped with California emissions, was a different exhaust manifold that housed an upstream catalytic converter (this converter heated up much faster than the conventional unit and decreased exhaust emissions faster) and provisions for an air injection reaction system (this injected fresh air into the exhaust to reduce hydrocarbons at start up, and help the oxygen sensors and catalytic converters reach operating temperatures faster). These vehicles were made to meet the all new CARB ULEV standards for the 1999 model year. These changes, among others, were subtly introducing the differences of the third generation S-series.

This miniland-scale Lego Asturn S-Series (SL2 - 1996 2nd Generation) has been created for Flickr LUGNuts' 92nd Build Challenge, - "Stuck in the 90's", - all about vehicles from the decade of the 1990s.
Like a number of builds this month, this is a car owned by a member of my family - in this case my mother-in-law, who had this model Saturn in this colour. I was expecting the car to be 'crap', but modest though it was, the car performed quite well for its type, and was more than acceptable (that cannot be said of the Saturn L-Series wagon that she bought to replace it). This was also the first car with cruise control that I was able to drive extensively - this feature was certainly a boon during the longer of my US road trips from Charlotte, NC to St Louis, MO, via Indianapolis, IN.

Ford’s ‘Compact’ Fairlane first appeared in the US in 1962 as a mid-range model positioned between the Falcon and the full-size Galaxie, the Fairlane became known as the ‘Compact’ due to its decreased size compared to earlier ‘Tank’ Fairlanes.
The 1962-64 Compact Fairlane were also built in Australia in right hand drive. While the Fairlane was available in a range of body styles over in the US, including 2 and 4 door sedans, sports coupe and wagons, Ford Australia only marketed the basic four-door sedan.
For 1963, the Fairlane got a concave grille, revised bonnet, guards and tail lights. 1771 FC Fairlanes were produced in Australia in 1963. 336 were also assembled in New Zealand from CKD kits
