Put simply, I am looking for either a web browser or a browser plug‑in or extension that can save a web page so that, when loaded back in, it actually looks the same as it did when it was saved.
In principle, all browsers can do this, simply by saving "HTML Complete", but in practice, I've never seen one that does, and I've used Firefox, Opera, and Vivaldi extensively, and have previously used Chrome and IE.
Problem Details
For sites that are coded in an extremely straightforward manner, most browsers do save them so as to load back correctly, but all too often the complexity of modern sites somehow messes up web browsers.
Examples of problems I see in the saved pages:
Distorted layout compared to how the original page looked at the time of saving. This is typically minor, but with some browser and web site combinations, layout errors can be so dramatic as to make the page practically unreadable, although all the wanted data is still there in the files. Drop‑down menus are a common source of catastrophic layout errors, though not the only one. (It's ok if menus won't actually pop up in the saved page, but it's not ok when they instead destroy the page's quiescent layout.)
Saved pages take an extremely long time to load, in particular when there is no Internet connection, often because they are waiting to make useless accesses to servers for analytics.
Failure to render Twitter posts embedded in other sites. Firefox saves the tweets in the sense that you can find their text and images within the saved files, but when the saved page is loaded in a web browser, it doesn't render them. Chromium-based browsers do not even save the embedded data at all.
Similar failure to save or render embedded Instagram posts.
Saved Facebook pages typically omit "sticker" images in post comments (those silly large emoticons and cartoon figures). These use a background image within a <div> or <span>, and Opera, for instance, does not save these images at all — you can't even find them manually in the saved resources, even though other images such as user avatars and posted photos are there. The saved page in the background-image CSS property in the tag's style property continues to point to the live URL, which means that it typically renders correctly if you're connected to the Internet, but not if you're not, and not if that HTTP resource is ever taken down.
Saved Facebook pages blur out the preview images for posts of videos, though they are not blurred when you're viewing the live site. The images are actually there in the saved files, and can even be found fairly easily via a DOM browser when the saved page is open — it's just that script or something is telling the browser to blur them.
Upvote and downvote counts not rendered on pages saved from Urbandictionary.com, even though the counts are actually present in the saved HTML file.
Problems with content that can be expanded or hidden on user request. It may not be in the same expansion state it was in when the page was saved, and/or the page loaded back in may not respond to requests to show or hide content, even though browsers generally do save JavaScript along with the page. The content is usually still in the saved HTML file even though it can't be expanded in the browser.
Some saved pages, when loaded back in, will for a brief moment show the page contents, and then immediately turn blank. This happens even without an Internet connection, and it can be seen in the saved files that the data is there — it's just getting hidden after page load, presumably by script (not sure if inadvertently or intentionally).
I have at times tried to print the page to a PDF file instead of save it as an HTML document, but in most cases the results of doing that are far worse! (HTML/CSS provide for a separate layout mode for printing a page, but most sites are not developed or tested to behave properly in this mode, and it also generally cannot produce a continuous layout, due to being constrained to actual paper sizes.)
Some browsers can save a capture of the rendered page as an image (pixel array); this does make a faithful save, but this is far from ideal for a number of reasons including it being impossible to search on or copy text.
What I want is for the browser to create HTML and CSS files, and save all external resources, in such a manner that upon loading in the saved page, the DOM will be in exactly the same state it was in when the page was saved, but with any and all images, icons, fonts, etc., it may have been pointing to now pointing to locally saved files. (No need to save streaming files, for which there are already good capture tools).
In thinking of how such a program would actually operate, I realize that client-side script in the general case becomes a huge problem. I would be fine with the program simply having an option to write the page in its current state without any of its script, for sites where the script is found to cause problems.
It would be acceptable for the page to instead be saved in some non-standard format that preserves the renderable objects and layout commands in a lower-level fashion, but this would be less ideal, and in this case ideally the format should be documented or easily reverse engineered.
I don't mind a solution such as a code library that requires some minimal programming to get the full solution, but any programming required can't comprise a large project; user-level software is preferred.
Also note that for some sites, user interaction with the site is required to pull in desired content from the server after page load, so a non‑interactive solution is not feasible.
The solution should hopefully be inexpensive, ideally free. It can't be a cloud‑based solution (thus precluding PageVault, for instance) or one where the purchased license is not perpetual. It should work on Windows, but in the very worst case *nix would be tolerable (but very annoying as I'd have to browse through a VM console).
A case being tested in a particular browser does not imply that the problem is unique to that browser. For any test case, I clear the cache and disconnect from the Internet prior to loading back the page; otherwise it's harder to spot things that didn't get saved as they could be getting fetched live.
Test Case #1
https://i-d.vice.com/en_us/article/59v8aq/adut-akech-instagram-depression-anxiety-mental-health
This page, saved in and loaded back in Vivaldi, demonstrates multiple issues. Behaviour is approximately the same with or without AdBlock.
If loaded without an Internet connection, it takes some 20 sec. even for the text to appear, and even after that it attempts connections for several minutes.
Ultimately, the Instagram post is never loaded, even though you can find its text and the first two pictures of the post's slideshow among the files. (The remaining two images in that slideshow are not saved at all, but that's somewhat expected.)
The static close‑up picture of Adut's face at the beginning of the article is not loaded although it was saved.
The "i‑D" logo at the top of the page has a broken image symbol overlayed on it, and the vertical version below the article is missing. The article text is not in the original font, and there are a few other minor layout errors.
https://scallywagandvagabond.com/2019/08/jorge-luis-dupre-lachazo-best-buy-delivery-man-murders-evelyn-evy-udell-boca-raton-woman/
Saved and loaded back in Opera, both with and without ad blocking. Again, multiple issues.
Although the bulk of the page loads quickly, without Internet connection, various external connections are attempted indefinitely.
The static picture of Evelyn Udell at the top of the article is not displayed although it is present in the files. All the article cover photos under "Most Popular Today" also don't show although they are also in the files. The preview picture for the news video appears black, and that image is not even saved. Ironically, the least wanted images — the ads — display fine, without ad blocking.
The Twitter post from LuliOrtizTV is totally omitted without a trace. The image in the tweet is not present in the saved files, and an exhaustive text search indicates not even the text was saved.
The layout is littered with missing or broken icons, such as on the Facebook, Twitter, G+ and Pinterest buttons. In some cases icons are replaced with boxes, such as the heart to the left of Recommend in the Disqus panel. Several of the icons in that panel are replaced with simpler versions, such as the Facebook "f". The magenta FB and Twitter icons at the very top of the page are replaced with Asian characters.
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Blunt
Saved and loaded back in Firefox. Again, multiple issues.
Without an Internet connection, it's about a minute before anything at all appears, and it attempts external connections for several more minutes.
The definitions are readable, but certain layout elements and especially the stuff at the top of the page is badly damaged, with the positioning within that area being massively incorrect. The Categories drop‑down has been barfed into the static layout instead of being hidden. The fonts of the labels such as "Vote" and "Store" have been defaulted. The graphical "urban dictionary" logo is missing entirely and looks to not even have been saved. The search bar is no longer even inside the blue area. There's even a strange "Loading..." animated passifier, awkwardly positioned at the far right of the page that never goes away.
While no big loss, the ads are not displayed, although present in the files.
The font in the definitions is somewhat different, with thicker underlines than in the original.
Worst of all, the vote counts beside the thumbs up and down are not displayed at all! They actually are in the saved HTML, in <span> elements, but are completely omitted from the layout.
The cookie notice doesn't respond to clicks to dismiss it, although that could be something server‑side.
If I run into other classes of failure, I'll try to add test cases for them.

Can you give us a link to test for each case you listed above that are the problem cases? You can edit your post and add the links there. Some people don't use Twitter or Facebook so they wouldn't know what to look for exactly as a test case.
– Bulrush
@Bulrush Just to clarify, the Twitter and Instagram cases are not from the perspective of a Tw or IG user. It's very common for on‑line news articles to include relevant Tweets or IG posts in the article, and they often do so by an embedded "widget" that loads the content directly from Twitter or IG servers. I'll add test cases soon for some of the more common issues (some of them I only run into occasionally, or would require a Facebook login).

Thank you, that's very helpful information. I try to help, but I'm only human, and sometimes I make assumptions. :)
I find Save Page WE to be very good and accurate while also having a solid image embed functionality.
Here are the extension home pages:
It appears to be GPL 2 licensed, but I have yet to find the source.

Have you tried Pagedash? It has a free option. And you can save your pages to Google Drive, then download them to your PC.
EDIT: Pagedash might have the "save third party content" option off by default. Check the settings for this. I have a Pagedash account so I can test this for you if you give me a link to a site that has embedded Twitter or FB content.
There is also a list of Firefox addons that can save pages locally here. Just scroll down to the section "Web page savers".
Generally, only static HTML pages save well, not dynamic pages or dynamic portions of a page. I've done tests of this using Httrack and wget on various sites. Facebook and Twitter have a lot of dynamic content on them.
In a pinch you can use a screen grabber like Lightshot. It's free and supports Windows, Mac and has addons for Firefox, Chrome, Opera. To me you will need a browser addon to save the whole page as it looks instead of the desktop Lightshot. When you use an addon generally you have the option to save the whole web page as an image.
I also liked the Firefox addon Nimbus. You can save images to their site too, for free. Nimbus has options to add text, boxes, circles, lines, blur out stuff, etc.
BulrushBulrush
What you want to use is SingleFile. This is a Chrome extension / Firefox extension that is able to store your entire website, like you see it with all its loaded resources, into a single HTML file. I never experienced any of the issues you mentioned regarding simple website saving when using this great extension.
I tested all your test cases, too. In no test it loaded any resources from somewhere else, everything you see is stored in this one HTML file, no ifs and buts. It should never fail to show the contents you saved when you are offline.
Some JavaScript based UI logic was even working in these cases, just make sure everything you want to show in the offline presentation is already load before saving the website with SingleFile.

We as researchers and User Experience (UX) designers want to identify and create products that change the world and therefore, we choose to engage in strategic research and design. In the real world though, coming up with a breakthrough idea or transformative design doesn't mean it will automatically be accepted or get to market. By definition, innovative ideas represent new ways of thinking. Organizations by nature seem to have anti-innovation antibodies  that often kill new ideas  even disruptive innovations  that could help companies differentiate themselves from their competition. As difficult as coming up with a game-changing idea can be, getting an organization to act on the idea often seems impossible. Perhaps we find ourselves in work routines that do not provide space to think differently. Our experience is that practitioners and academics alike need new tools to meet this challenge-tools that empower UX teams in both business and universities to identify transformative new ideas, and then to get these big ideas and designs accepted. This course proposes rapid design labs-a design-led, facilitative, cross-functional, iterative approach to innovation that aligns organizations and generates value at each step. It provides tools and methods that turn attendees into catalysts, who systemically identify new ideas, and align multi-disciplinary teams around their ideas. Attendees learn how to lead workshops that foster ideation, collaboration, trust, and free expression. These workshops enable intensive brainstorming, purposeful play, design, user testing, and rapid prototyping. Learn how innovative companies and universities, such as Splunk, Deutsche Telekom Laboratories, the Berlin Technical University, Yahoo!, Mindjet, zSpace, HP, and more identify, design, and bring great products to market.

2014 BMW Industry News
BMW reveals 30th Anniversary Edition M5, the 2015 M5 30 Jahre M5
May 8, 2014 Chris Chin 2014 BMW M5 30th Anniversary Edition, 2015 BMW M5, 2015 BMW M5 30 Jahre M5, BMW M5, BMW M5 30 Jahre M5, BMW M5 30th Anniversary Edition, Luxury, Sedans, Sports Cars
BMW predictably unveiled a special 30th anniversary edition M5 following a leak of information and visuals earlier this week. The model is specifically prepared to celebrate 30 years of BMW M5. It was only three decades ago, in 1984, when the first official M5 was revealed for the 1985 production year, built on the second generation E28 5-Series. And this new 2015 BMW M5 "30 Jahre M5" pays homage to this memorable year and birth of an icon.
As predicted in the leak, the BMW M5 30th Anniversary Edition is painted with a bespoke Frozen Dark Silver Metallic exterior and complemented by dark chrome accenting around the windows. Massive 20-inch alloy wheels were also added for full visual effect. Interior upgrades range from Merino leather, to Alcantara seats and steering wheel. Expect a hefty serving of 30th Anniversary Badges as well, to obviously remind you that you're in one of only 300 models made–30 of which are only coming to North America.
The 4.4L TwinPower Turbo V8 is still good for 600hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, which is up 14 lb-ft from the standard M5. The 30th Anniversary Edition will apparently only come with the M DCT Dual Clutch Transmission with seven forward gears for a 0-62 time of 4.4 seconds. Prices start at $138,725.
For full details, check out the press release after the jump.
The 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5
Celebrating the first 30 Years of the legendary BMW M5.
Most powerful production BMW ever
Reservation phone number to be revealed on Instagram (@BMWUSA)
Bonus – one-day M School at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs
Woodcliff Lake, NJ – 6:00pm EDT/3:00pm PDT May 6, 2014. . . BMW announced today a limited run of 30 copies of the new 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 for 2015. The BMW M5 "30 Jahre M5" will be produced in a limited run of 300 examples worldwide, and 30 of them will be imported to the United States. With an output of 600hp and 516 lb-ft of torque, it will not only be the most powerful M5 ever sold but also the most powerful BMW production model ever. Starting at $138,275, including destination and handling, the first 29 copies of the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 will be offered to the first 29 customers who reserve it by dialing the dedicated BMW Customer Relations hotline at 1:00pm EDT (10:00am PDT), on Wednesday, May 21, 2014. The 30th copy of the Edition will be retained by BMW of North America, LLC, and may be sold at a later date.
Purchasers of a 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 will be invited to a one-day M Driving School at The Thermal Club, a private motorsports facility in Palm Springs, CA.
BMW of North America will engage social media as a platform to reveal the phone number for the reservation hotline for US customers to order one of the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5s. That number will be revealed on BMW of North America's Instagram channel (@BMWUSA) over the five days leading up to May 21, beginning on Saturday, May 17. Each day, in addition to revealing portions of the call-in number, will offer fun facts about each of the successive five generations of BMW M5.
BMW of North America's Instagram channel provides exclusive Ultimate Driving Machine content to an active community of BMW super fans and automotive enthusiasts. This audience of nearly 60,000 followers has a clear passion for the M-brand, with M-specific content consistently receiving over 30% more engagement than average.
30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 offers increased performance
The 4.4 liter BMW M TwinPower Turbo V8 engine from the M5 with Competition Package receives an additional 25 horsepower thanks to increased turbocharger pressure and engine control module enhancements. Elsewhere, the addition of a dedicated control module allows the Active M Differential to react sooner and improve the traction when exiting corners.
Capable of 0 to 60 mph in an estimated 3.7 seconds, the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 adds an improved M-specific Servotronic function as well as an improved M Dynamic mode, prepared to use the full potential of the increased power and traction.
30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 includes unique styling and interior details
Featuring a Frozen Dark Silver Metallic exterior, part of the BMW Individual palette of hues, the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 is also identified with Black Chrome "30 Jahre M5" (German for 30 years of the M5) badges, appearing on the kidney grill surrounds, the front fenders, door handles and twin dual exhaust pipes. The exterior of the 30th Anniversary Edition M5 is further complemented by 20 inch, bi-color M light-alloy wheels.
"30 Jahre M5" badges are also featured in the interior, with a 1/300 identification number integrated into the Aluminum Trace trim strip on the front passenger side of the cockpit.
A black Alcantara/Leather combination graces the M multifunctional seats which also include embroidered "30 Jahre M5" badges. The center console and the door panels are also covered in black Alcantara, while the headliner features Alcantara Anthracite.
Invitation to Exclusive BMW M Driving School at The Thermal Club
In order to further enhance the M experience with this vehicle, buyers of the 30th Anniversary Edition BMW M5 will be invited to an exclusive one-day track event and M driving school at The Thermal Club in Palm Springs, CA. The event will be held in the Fall of 2014 with more details to follow.
Celebrating five generations of M5.
30 years have passed since a group of engineers at BMW Motorsport GmbH proposed using the inline-6 cylinder engine originally developed for the BMW M1 and fitting it into the BMW 5 Series Sedan, essentially creating the segment defining high performance sedan and setting a foundation for the next four generations of the BMW M5.

The Swiss businessman and freeport magnate Yves Bouvier won a crucial battle in Tuesday in Singapore, where a civil court of appeal decided that the country does not have the jurisdiction to consider a lawsuit filed against him by the Russian billionaire collector Dmitry Rybolovlev. In a 59-page decision released on 18 April, the high court states that Switzerland is likely to be the appropriate forum for the case.
This contradicts a March 2016 decision by a senior Singapore judge, who said Rybolovlev would suffer "grave prejudice" if the lawsuit were filed in Geneva, where his "proprietary and equitable claims" could not be recognised. Rybolovlev must now decide where he will launch a new civil claim seeking financial damages, following his criminal complaint in Monaco.
The Singapore lawsuit was filed in March 2015, one month after Yves Bouvier was arrested in Monte Carlo and charged with fraud and money laundering. The Russian billionaire accuses Bouvier of having made €1bn in "undue profits" by overcharging him for an art collection Rybolovlev spent around €2bn in total to buy.
The Singapore court stresses that both parties signed four contracts for the sale of four paintings from 2003 to 2006, which were exclusively governed by Swiss law, and nothing apparently "changed when they went into an oral agreement" for the 30 or so transactions that followed. Their deals took place in Geneva and payments were made through Swiss banks accounts. Until 2009, both men were also based in Switzerland.
Rybolovlev then moved to Monaco, where he purchased the local top tier French football club. He also started to move his art collection to Bouvier's freeport in Singapore, as he intended to shield his assets from the Russian authorities and his wife Elena, who had filed for divorce. The same year, Bouvier became a permanent resident in Singapore. But the court found these facts held no "real significance" as they did not alter "the character of their relationship".
The appeals court therefore decided that "Switzerland is clearly and distinctly a more appropriate forum than Singapore for the determination of their dispute", and said it had "no hesitation" in rejecting the argument that Rybolovlev would be deprived of justice if he filed his lawsuit in Geneva. The court of appeal also closed the door to a transfer of the case to Singapore's own International Commercial Court.
A spokesman for Rybolovlev's companies, Xitrans and Accent Delight, says the "decision contains no finding on the substance" of their dispute and "merely constitutes another procedural incident in a complex international litigation".

Harbinger Group acquires Misionero
by Tim Linden | October 20, 2016
Harbinger Group LLC, parent company of Green Wave Farms, Vertical Foods, Epic Foods and Fresh Produce Partners, announced that it has acquired organic specialty salad pioneer Misionero Vegetables, effective immediately. Terms of the transaction have not been disclosed.
The new organization reunites Stephen Griffin of Misionero with Todd Koons and Thomas Minnich of Harbinger, each of who were on the forefront of the organic revolution. The team will build upon Misionero Vegetables' founder, Floyd Griffin's, vision of "growing today for a greener tomorrow." Their original thinking and foresight also forged the way for more respectful labor treatment and the creation and development of farming practices that transformed both farming culture and business practices today. Together they helped shape the healthy eating revolution now taking place around North America.
Creating one produce powerhouse
The firm also announced it will use "Misionero" as the new business name encompassing brands and products that include Misionero Vegetables' Garden Life and Earth Greens Organics, along with Epic Foods, Green Wave Farms and Vertical Foods. Collectively these brands share deep expertise in smaller scale farming and a commitment to best practices around organic and conventional growing methods for quality and safety.
Combined under the Misionero name they will have the opportunity to gain efficiencies in packing and logistics, and drive innovation across the business. Customers, however, will still be able to find their favorite familiar brands and products.
Pete Donlon, formerly a key member of Earthbound Farm, has joined the team as vice president. Joel Rudnick moves from general manager at Green Wave Farms to vice president. Peter Meehan, Newman's Own Organics president, and Mike Thurlow, chief executive officer of Mountain View Fruit Sales, will serve as board members.
Minnich, Misionero's new chairman and CEO, said in a press release, "With more than 40 years of experience, Misionero Vegetables has long been a highly regarded pioneer in the organic specialty salad category. I had the honor of serving as president of sales from 1988 to 1998 when we were a part of spearheading organics and helped to establish new standards that have since been adopted broadly across the marketplace. In this new organization we will maintain Misionero Vegetables' commitment to providing fresh quality products that are easy to use, delicious and nutritious without compromising quality or harming the environment. All of us are dedicated to investing in our planet's future and the long term health of our families and future generations from the fields to consumer's plates."
"The Harbinger team's stellar reputation in our industry is based on their track record of consistently bringing timely and meaningful innovation to organic produce since the late 1980's," said Griffin, the former CEO of Misionero Vegetables, who is now a Misionero partner and board member. "I speak for our entire organization when I say we are pleased to reunite with our former colleagues and bring forward new advancements in the produce world."
David Jones, a Green Wave Farms grower, said, "I'm proud to be associated with our larger group of growers and look forward to collectively achieving our fullest potential. Sharing growing practices will create new efficiencies for us all and will allow our group to expand growing opportunities into new regions more seamlessly."
Thurlow noted, "Mountain View has been looking for the right entry point into organic farming. This was the right opportunity and the right group of people for us to collaborate with."
Stewardship of the land
Realizing that sustainability is an important factor in how customers and consumers look at food purchases, Misionero's focus will be on production practices with environmental benefits such as water management practices, no-till or minimum tillage, habitat maintenance and biological pest control. These ecologically protective practices contribute to enhanced ecosystem services and benefit water quality, soil health, and biodiversity.
Misionero's new president and COO, Joe Merenda, added, "We fully recognize and appreciate the trust consumers have in our brands.

Just to add a little more info on the blower I "won" on eBay. The gentleman I purchased the blower from tells me that it was on a Knucklehead drag bike named "The Gorilla" owned by Don Jones of California. I understand that there are pictures existing of the bike, but whether I will be able to obtain copies of them is still up in the air. That's about all the information I have so far.
As it turns out, when it arrived, I found some lettering stamped into the front bearing housing. S.CO.T. and under that the number 101. This is all stamped on a slightly raised "boss" that looks to have held a "serial number" type plate at one time. If there was indeed a plate there at one time, it would have covered these stamped letters. I am guessing that the 101 is a reference to the size of the blower.
The little that I know about S.Co.T. blowers is that they were a company that built supercharger kits for various engines in years gone by. I have seen them mounted on high end vintage style hot rods with Flathead Ford V-8s. The initials stand for "Supercharger Company of Turin"
One manifold (carb to blower) is obviously fabricated from steel, and I must say rather ingeniously at that. I doubt that I would have thought to make it out of sheet metal in a rectangular shape instead of struggling to get round tubing bent to fit.
The other manifold is cast aluminum, and though the center to center distance on the ports is in the ballpark for use on a set of dual carb Knuck heads, it likely was built by the supercharger manufacturer as a bolt on kit for a different application. The ports on this manifold are too small to match up with a Knuckle, being approximately 1.060" wide by 1.200" tall. A Knuckle port is round and 1.565" diameter stock.
Still, I might have concluded that the manifold was used on a Knuckle despite the size discrepancy were it not for the fact that the flange bolting the manifold to the blower is rectangular which limits the direction the blower could be mounted to facing forward or backward, but not sideways. That means that the pulley on the front of the blower would be at a right angle to crankshaft. Not very likely it would have been mounted in that orientation given the complications to driving the blower it would entail.
Another clue, is the fact that the gentleman I bought this blower from tells me that he also has a 2 speed racing transmission from the same dragbike. He told me that the trans case doubled as an oil tank. Very interesting! The size of the blower makes me think that a guy could tuck it in about the same space as a horseshoe oil tank would occupy. That would put the pulley on the blower in the same plane as the engine sprocket, making the drive comparatively simple. It would also explain the "S" shape of the carb to blower manifold. My guess is that there was originally a similarly fabricated manifold going from the blower to the heads.
Nostalgia. Nearly everyone is infected with it to a certain degree. Whether it is a passion for the things from their childhood, or just antiques in general, the sense of nostalgia seems to spring from a yearning for the good old days. Those of us who are involved with motorcycles are no different. Now if you take a guy that has been riding motorcycles for 35+ years and drag raced for nearly a third of those years, then I guess it shouldn't be too hard to figure out where his nostalgic urges might lead.
Now when I was active in drag racing, beginning in 1986 I raced a Knucklehead. Guess that means that I had a head start on the nostalgia thing, what with heads on my drag bike leaving the factory prior to 1947. Yep, that means I was working with equipment 40 years out of date. This self imposed handicap had way more to do with the "cool factor" and my ongoing love affair with Knuckleheads than any kind of common sense. Still, I was lucky enough to start racing at just the right moment in history to win national championships in '85 and '86 in two different classes. Had I started later, the potential of the Evolution cylinder head would have made it impossible. Earlier and I would have had to compete against an earlier generation that seemed to get amazing results despite the comparative lack of technology.
I have been toying with the idea of building a nostalgia Knucklehead drag bike for quite a few years now. Something to mimic the bikes raced in the '50s or '60s would be just about right. Somehow I managed to hang on to a set of dual carb Knuck heads that appear to have been built "back in the day." The holes drilled in the cooling fins along with the big intake valves and porting work make me think that they have seen some drag strip action sometime in the distant past.
So you can only imagine how intrigued I was a couple weeks back when an auction for an "Antique Harley Knucklehead Blower and Manifold" came up on eBay. From the pictures it looked as though it might even be a S.C.oT. blower. While I am far from an expert on them, I have seen them in magazines on vintage style hot rods. Though the seller said he saw no name on the blower, its age was pretty evident. Still, I likely would have passed on it, had it not been for the fact that I sold a top end on eBay at the same time. Fittingly, what I sold to pay for the blower were the heads, cylinders and pistons from our son Joey's drag bike. We had upgraded to aftermarket heads and big bore cylinders long ago which left these parts in need of a home.
I am happy to say that I was successful in "winning" the auction despite several other bids. Best of all, I paid less than what I sold the top end for. Stay tuned for more on the blower, the history I am learning about it, and my tentative plans for it.
The measure of faith. Interesting term. If I read this correctly, God deals out, or measures out a specific amount of faith to each person. And by that I mean that each person may not receive the same amount of faith.
We tend to look at faith as something that is ours in that it comes from within us. Sometimes this has the potential of being a source of false pride. In fact, if we add Ephesians 2: 9 to verse 8 it reads "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast." It is true. If your faith came from somewhere inside yourself, then you would have something to boast of.
But that God gives this gift of faith in differing amounts is a thought that may be even more foreign to many of us but is made quite clear in the Bible. Have you ever noticed how often Jesus used the phrase "Oh ye of little faith"? Often he was speaking to his apostles and he said it many times.
Have you ever looked upon another Christian (perhaps a pastor or a missionary) in awe, thinking they have such great faith. That may explain why we tend to assume that faith is something we generate; seeing someone with more faith shows us our own lack. So we blame ourselves. But maybe the truth is we were not dealt the the same measure of faith.
So if God deals out the faith to us and he gives each person a differing amount does that mean we are "off the hook" so to speak? After all, if God only gave us so much faith, then isn't it natural for us to only act in accordance with that faith. Maybe.... But on the other hand we also see from scripture that the amount of faith we have is not a constant, unchanging amount.
The apostles obviously knew where the faith came from, and who to ask for more. And that it is possible to get more is also shown in scriptures.
"Faith that groweth exceedingly". Wow, I want some of that!
It is pretty clear that faith is extremely important.
1 Peter 1:3-5 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
Yes, that makes faith extremely important. Scary important in fact. But there is one more verse that gives me a lot of comfort when I contemplate these things.
That means God will not change his mind or take his gifts back. Some Bible versions use the word irrevocable in place of "without repentance". That means that this faith that Romans 12: 3 tells us is a gift, this faith which 1 Peter 1: 5 says God will use to keep you unto salvation, is something he will not change his mind about. Whatever the measure he has dealt you.

FEAR AND LOATHING ON AN INDIE FILM SET
by Charles Harry Mackenzie / 09.10.2014
South African 'youth' are dazed and disillusioned. Our history prior to democracy is well documented, yet our future lies before us as a blank and shapeless blob. Is there a South African dream for us to chase, or are we just hopping from one high to another? Sibs Shongwe-La Mer may not have all the answers, but his film – Territorial Pissings – is asking these questions. I went on a journey to document his pursuits and ended up following them myself. For better or worse, I don't yet know.
Now I am going to start this piece just as any other mediocre journalist of our time would, by using flowery descriptions and observations prior to the actual start of the story.
4:20 pm, 2nd July 2014
I arrived at the Zebra Inn, one of the final shooting locations for Territorial Pissings about an hour and a half early. I placed my buttocks on a stool and began counting coins… I desperately wanted a beer but the choice wasn't up to me, it was up to my wallet. I was R2 short of a black label, but the barmaid wouldn't have it and paid the remainder.
"I take care of my customers," she said with a smile that would warm even the coldest prude.
On my right sat a tall black man in a cashmere sweater and non-descript jeans. From his cell phone conversation I discerned that he too was here to shoot something:
"No, I'm doing stills again on the 11th…"
"Stills" is film-speak for production stills (photographs) – not that this gives you much insight.
After what seemed like forever, I introduced myself to the gentleman and almost immediately forgot his name (a bad habit of mine). I told him that I was here to write a feature; he told me he was here to do the 'EPK'. A quick Google search told me that EPK stood for 'electronic press kit'. Again, I doubt that provides you with much insight, but dear reader take solace in the fact that when it comes to the inner workings of the film industry, I am just about as clueless as you.
Mr EPK contemplated (out loud) the sheer ridiculousness of the location, which was chock full of just about every kind of animal head mounted on every wall, which in turn were arbitrarily painted sickly colours of purple, yellow and lime green.
"What the actual fuck…?"
I managed to refrain from commenting, because in truth I was the grandson of a man, with eerily similar perversions when it came to decorating walls with the heads of helpless animals.
'Colonialism' meets 'mode'
Buffalo heads, zebra heads… almost every kind of animal head imaginable, gave us dead, shameful blank gazes. Even when we turned our heads away, I was aware that they were watching. There were even a couple turtle shells dotted across the room.
"They aren't real," Mr EPK noted. "I went up and touched them, they are made of wood," he added.
For the next half hour we continued to shoot the shit as we indifferently shifted our gazes between the soccer (Belgium was playing A'MURCA) and the security camera, which would notify us when people actually started arriving. "I fucking hate Americans," he would quip every 10 minutes or so, as if he was oblivious to the fact that I had heard him say the very same thing a million times before.
Mr EPK (far right) sits with bar regulars
If I am to be a successful journalist (ha), I would be inclined to stop rambling for a moment, and provide you (dear reader) with some background on Sibs. At 22 years old, Sibs Shongwe-La Mer is the South African bastard child of both Jay Gatsby and Hunter S Thompson. Just like the two men before him, Sibs is an idealist, except he's hell bent on chasing the 'South African dream', not the American one. Ignoring the fact that one can argue extraneously as to weather or not the American dream actually existed, Sibs is pretty set on the fact that the time for South African youth is now and that there is in fact a dream to be had.
I won't enter the pointless debate over whether or not there is such a thing as a 'South African celebrity' because we are most defiantly not the naïve whores that the Americans are to their Hollywood elite. In truth, the lives of South Africans in the entertainment industry provide us with just about as much interest as the intensive study of milk bacteria. With that said, the trajectory of Sibs Shongwe-La Mer is a refreshing change, offering us a different perspective of our nation that is not jaded by politics and fakery.
Colleen Balchin (left) plays Tanya
"I play Tanya's lover-boy," says Kamogelo Moloi, who plays the character of Bogsi
"This movie shows the state of the youth – black kids, white kids. How we are," explains Kamolego. "Our parents fought the fight… my father was in exile. But our job is different, our job is to fight a new fight… to look to the future."
Sibs, his producer Ellias and a handful of others arrived on set. A sign on the exterior entrance of the inn stated clearly: "Bar closed after 5pm, filming is taking place," but that message was vehemently ignored as thirsty men continued to pour in, outnumbering the small cast that occupied the fringes of the bar. Mr EPK and I introduced ourselves to Ellias who in turn introduced us to Sibs himself. He shook my hand, asked me how I was and then quickly shot off. I didn't take offence, far from it, that man started working the minute his feet touched the dusty ceramic floor.
Sibs smokes Peter Stuyvesant Blue. I don't know ANYBODY in my age group that touches those things. When we can afford it we shoot for Malboro or even Camel but stuyvy… no. If I was a better writer, perhaps I would make an analogy about how his cigarette choice indicates that he is 'old at heart' or something along those lines… but I'm not, so, oh well.
S'bo Nene, who plays the 'drunk shit talker' was the first to get his makeup done. I began to take photographs, and I almost immediately spotted the WEIRD inside of him. It was living deep down, and it was my job to summon the demon out of him.
For every cast member that spilled in, they were matched by about three crew members. The actors lounged around talking shit, soaking in the atmosphere whilst the crew members immediately began work.
Don't mistake that as a criticism, that's just how things were.
Large florescent lights are set up opposite a table adorned with beer bottles and wine glasses. The first scene of the night to be shot takes place here, where a group of depraved adolescents are to drunkenly discuss the 'etiquette' of a blowjob.
The set is ready, and people are asked to clear the area. Before actual shooting begins we are all told to be quiet: "Please guys, we want to record ambient noise so don't say or do anything."
Almost two minutes go by, and already people begin shuffling their feet and whispering. If there is any indication that our youth is restless, this is it – the fact that we can't even sit still for two fucking minutes (even when we're getting paid to do so).
30 more seconds pass by, the boom is dropped, and recording is complete. "Ok guys, thanks that was great."
"Eish… I was SO CLOSE to farting," says a coloured man wearing a leather jacket, standing behind the bar. The entire room fills with laughter, and even Sib wears a quick smile.
Sibs is a hard-working man, not taking a moment's rest on set, bar a few causal conversations here and there. I doubt many understand the insidious torture of an over active mind…
Long after the set is cleared, and wrap has been called
The film will continue to roll,
Inside his pink juiced up brain,
Fed by coffee and nicotine,
This entity will mull over,
What went wrong,
What went right,
A broken record of contradictions.
I am sure many envy his fame (myself included), just as the citizens of west/east egg did for Jay Gatsby and his fantastical parties.
But at the end of the day, not many care to look any deeper, and thus would not grasp the massive weight of such a grandiose dream. Long after Territorial Pissings is finished, Sibs will continue to chase that 'green light' in various iterations well into his life. Dreams exist in fantasy, and the pursuit of them is the closest one will ever get to fully realising them. Fulfilling one won't turn off the noise; it will only increase the volume. Near the end of the novel, The Great Gatsby, Jay got Daisy back – a dream he had had forever. But he quickly realised that his fantasy was far more real than reality could ever be. And he died because of it.

Sedona, the Movie: Vortexes, Auras! Oh, My!
Posted on October 18, 2012 by Richard Guzman
Sedona, Arizona, is stunningly beautiful—"The most beautiful city in America," USA Travel called it—but also beset by an often distracting New Age loopiness. "You know what?" a local psychic tells the frazzled main character in the movie Sedona, "You need an aura cleanse," to which she screams, "Oh, for God's sake! I'm in a real crisis here!" Sedona's got crystals. Sedona's got more vortexes—spots where earth and cosmic energies supposedly align—than Machu Pichu and the Great Pyramids combined. But beyond all these, what perhaps captures the city's power most succinctly is the sentence, "There are no coincidences in Sedona." I know. I live there a few weeks every year, and if I don't hear the sentence at least once a day, its sentiment pervades the place like air.
What's got the main character, Tammy, so frazzled is that she—a high-powered, work-obssessed business woman—is rushing down to a meeting in Phoenix when a freak accident strands her in Sedona. The movie opens with gorgeous views of Sedona's iconic red rocks, canyons, and valleys shot from one of the many tourist planes that—with helicopters and balloons—constantly criss-cross Sedona skies. The plane has engine problems and can't get back to Airport Mesa, landing instead on the city's main north-south drag, Highway 89A, and crashing into Tammy's car. We follow her typically exasperating adventures trying to get the car fixed, adventures which bring her into contact with sometimes zany locals—one who not only massages but reads feet—all steering her away from her work and car-obsessed life into some deep, healing soul searching. It's a labyrinthine quest featuring her walking through an actual Sedona labyrinth as she begins to mend the broken pieces of her present life by dealing with the brokenness and abandonment of her past life. Veteran actress Frances Fisher plays her beautifully.
There's a second story line. A gay couple, Scott and Eddie, have taken their sons, Denny and Jeremy, on a Sedona vacation. Scott is also frazzled, work-obssessed. It's hard to get him off his Blackberry, until Eddie shames him into leaving it their van, something Scott wishes he hadn't done when youngest son Denny gets lost. One viewer commented astutely that the movie leaves out all Hispanics, a large presence in Sedona, but, though perhaps a bit forced, it does nod towards Sedona's Native American heritage, bringing in actor Tatanka Means as the Native American park worker who helps track Denny down. Of course, he's calm and wise, a blaring contrast to Scott.
These two story lines meet briefly near the movie's beginning but go their separate ways immediately, so much so that we're sometimes annoyed by their utter dislocation, the movie becoming rather jagged as it continually cuts back and forth between them. Eventually, the two stories do meet. In fact, they literally crash into each other when Tammy's finally-fixed car plows into Scott's van. As they exchange information, the movie begins to suggest an eerie, deep relationship between Tammy and Scott, a relationship that makes Tammy forget about ever getting to Phoenix. The suggestion is heavy, but wisely stays at that level.
That's the trouble with the there-are-no-coincidences stance. When things work out too perfectly, when seemingly random events turn out to be eye-poppingly non-random after all, a movie, a book, any story-telling vehicle, has to handle this very carefully or discerning viewers will just throw up their hands and scream, "Awwww!!!" They'll feel cheated—though, of course, most people won't, which is why sappiness or spectacular conspiracy plots rule the box office. Sedona balances on the line between reality and wish fulfillment, truth and sappy optimism, and, overall, I think it keeps its balance relatively well.
Chaos theory and Quantum Physics have told us for decades that reality, at its base, is chaotic, random, unpredictable—a tissue of coincidences. Our days often seem organized by nothing more than clocks telling us where to be next. More than that: people suddenly get ripped out of our lives, jobs and marriages crumble, people get caught in the wrong place at the wrong time all the time, and for no apparent reason. That's why, even if we have to slug down a big draught of sap, we hunger, secretly or openly, for something neat, something beyond coincidence. A good poem, Robert Frost said, is "a temporary truce with chaos."
I've grown less dismissive of Sedona's loopiness over the years, knowing how sincerely so many believe in auras, crystals, past lives. Walking its stunning landscapes, I often catch myself thinking, I see why people feel spirits roaming here and vortexes doing whatever they do. But it's really Sedona's intense beauty that gives rise to the idea that there are no coincidences. One key component of anything we call beautiful must be a sense that somehow everything fits together perfectly, so much so that even coincidences don't seem accidental. It's tough to plot the beautiful without getting saccharine, and capturing beauty on any kind of camera will always be a dicey, difficult job. And maybe Sedona is too much a special case. Many moments in our lives just aren't all that beautiful, just as most places aren't Sedona—unless you're one of those that insists that everything is beautiful in its own way. I suppose at some high-up level that could be true, but people walking around up there are often humming some pretty pollyanna songs and wearing some strong, rose-colored glasses.
