"Really x Head" event limited product information.
Head Janka V Leary × 5,250 yen
Commissioned in a hurry to Mr. Toifesu Mamitto.
Thank you.
Not really sure of the 'make of this model'...if anyone can I.D. it, I'd appreciate it. Found in a Nursery in the Central Valley, CA.
Really stoked on how real this photo is. Shows everything that Tammy is about: Bike, Cannon GL2, Knee Brace, Nikes, and some cigs.

It's been really hot in and around Chicago Land over the past week or so, with temperatures running in the mid-to-high 90s (the mid-to-slightly-higher-mid 30s, if you're European.) The humidity's made that worse, with relative humidity values running up around 80%. That's translated to heat indices -- what television meteorologist Ginger Zee inaccurately calls the "feels like" temperature -- of 115° or 120°F (46° or 49°C).
The temperatures finally broke the day before yesterday, but the humidity's still with us. Why? Because of what you see right here in this field west of Elburn, in Kane County, IL. The Midwest is suffering what the Weather Industrial Complex has started calling the Corn Sweats! You can see it in this weather map a local television meteorologist from New Orleans posted on the Twitter. The corn has turned the Midwestern United States tropical!
Now, the Weather Industrial Complex seems to have just noticed that this is a thing, so people with only casual knowledge of the weather might be inclined to think this is something new. But my knowledge of the Earth Sciences combined with the location of my existence clued me into this years ago. In the late summer, corn gives off a hell of a lot of water through the process of transpiration, which is just the word the scientific types use for water vapor breathed out by plants. In late summer when corn's just finishing up, it pulls a lot of water from the ground and releases a lot of water into the air. An acre of corn in late summer can release 4,000 gallons of water per day. Illinois alone grows 11 million acres of corn per year, so just the corn in this one state can spit out 44 billion gallons of water in a 24-hour period. That's roughly the daily discharge of the Tennessee River and three times the discharge of the Colorado. Iowa adds 13 million acres of corn -- or roughly the equivalent of the Missouri River -- and there's still Nebraska, Minnesota, the Dakotas, and Indiana to consider. That's a ton of humidity, and it parks itself right over my head where I'd least like it to be. Illinois summers are far more humid now than they were before we dug up all the prairie.
But though your instinct might be to say this contributes to global warming, that's not really true. At least, it's no more true here than it is with every other thing humans do. This is a weather-vs.-climate issue, and while water vapor is a greenhouse gas, it doesn't stay in the air that long, and corn production isn't altering the total amount of water in the system. It's just concentrating it at a specific point in time and space, so that you'll have more humid days, but it all averages out in the end. It still isn't great -- I hate humidity with a passion -- and it is altering the natural rhythm of things. But it's doing it in a more balanced sort of way.
Editor's Note: I believe in science, but one thing I don't really believe in is the concept of the Heat Index and "Feels Like" temperatures. I get what they're doing. Ginger Zee likes to say that her "feels like" temperatures work because humans aren't inanimate objects, and humidity alters how we perceive heat. But 95°F (35°C) is still 95°F (35°C), even if it feels more oppressive in the humid East than the arid West. My take is that "oppressive" and "hot" are different sensations. If you stand in a corn field when it's 95°F (35°C) and 70% relative humidity, the Ginger Zee "feels like" temperature will be 123°F (50°C). That's unpleasant, and I felt those conditions last weekend. But I've also experienced actual 123°F (50°C) with 0% relative humidity in Death Valley, and it DOES NOT FEEL THE SAME. It's a totally different sensation.
Wind chills, on the other hand, are mostly real.
well.. not really...
just in case everyone thought Dom was a midget in the other photos... he's not... lol...
I had one other photo with them doing kickass kung-fu poses... but peater "accidentally" deleted it...

Home is where the heart is. I haven't really shown that since last year's project and thought something simple like this would really highlight that point. I love my home and always will. Texas is where it's at! But I plan on traveling with my career, if everything works out. That's my goal and I hope I can reach it.
And for some reason, I feel like a cool kid today.
This had nothing to do with the fact that I found a crack pipe during my run. Love my neighborhood runs.
Thanks Tac!
I know he's a great guy but seriously dude?
Why? I don't understand why you would do this. I'm a fan of your MOCs but ATM not of your MC behavior
