The top 10 phones for Christmas
There are so many great smartphones out there that picking which one is right for you, or for a loved one, can be a nightmare. The trick is to ask yourself exactly what you need your phone to do – and which features you simply must have, and which you can do without – to help you narrow your choice.
To help you, we've compiled our pick of the best handsets in five different categories – flagship, budget phone, phablet, luxury phone/watch combo and camera phone. We've also suggested alternatives if our top choices don't take your fancy.

Best flagship: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge
After a couple of years of no one really understanding how to make curved screens that are anything beyond a gimmick (looking at you, LG), this year Samsung overshadowed its flagship Galaxy S6 with that phone's curvier sibling: the Galaxy S6 Edge.
The phone's screen has curved edges on both the left and right, which make the handset look both ultra-modern and elegant. Crucially though, the phone also delivers in terms of what's under the hood.
The 5.1-inch screen packs a 2K resolution, plus there's 3GB of RAM and a 16MP camera. It's arguably the best Android handset you can currently buy.
- Read our Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge review
Alternative flagship: Google Nexus 6P
Unlike most Android phones the Nexus 6P gives you the full, undiluted Android experience, with the OS behaving exactly as Google intended it. Sure, you might not get the latest bleeding-edge features like a curved screen or 3D Touch, but it does mean you get a really solid performer of a phone.
Google prides itself on a consistent 'material' design, and running Android Marshmallow without any bolt-ons is the only way to maintain this consistency.
And, because the phone runs pure Android, you're also guaranteed to get the latest updates (such as next year's 'Android N', as well as security patches) as soon as they are released, meaning your phone will be more up to date, and arguably more secure, than competitors' devices.

Best budget: Moto G (2015)
Motorola has earned itself a bit of a reputation for putting out surprisingly excellent budget phones, and the third-generation Moto G continues in that vein, outshining its middleweight competitors.
Stand-out features include the 13MP camera and the full waterproofing, and the Moto G 2015 also keeps the manufacturer bloatware to a minimum, providing the purest Android experience this side of a Nexus handset.
Add to this the fact that the phone is available SIM-free for less than £135, and you'll be laughing all the way to the Christmas tree.

Alternative budget: OnePlus X
If you're looking for a little more style in your sub-£200 handset then the OnePlus X may take your fancy. It's a great-looking and great-feeling phone considering its price, plus it packs in a 5-inch full HD display, 13MP rear camera, 8MP front snapper and a hearty 3GB of RAM.
There are a couple of minor niggles, though. The first is getting hold of one of the 'invites' you need in order to buy the phone, as it's not currently on general sale – if you can find someone who's already got their hands on a OnePlus X they'll be able to hook you up.
Second, the phone is running a rather old Snapdragon 800 chip – it's far from terrible, but we do fear a little for its longevity. At this price, however, it's difficult to complain.

Best phablet: Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+
So you already know that we like the Galaxy S6 Edge. But Samsung didn't stop there, asking itself "How can we make people like this phone even more?" The answer, of course, was to make it bigger.
The Edge+ jacks up the screen to a 5.7-inch display, adds an extra GB of RAM (pushing it up to 4GB) and adds a bigger 3000mAh battery; that larger power pack is especially useful, as it means your phone will last even longer on standby.
Other than that it stays pretty faithful to the styling and specs of the S6 Edge – which is what you want when you're on to a winner.
- Read our Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+ review
Alternative phablet: LG G4
With its commanding 5.5-inch QHD display and real leather rear, the LG G4 imbues the phablet experience with little touches of class.
Its gently curved design means it fits nicely against your face when you're on a call, while its laser auto-focusing 16MP rear camera can snap crystal-clear shots.
And, while the G4 was always a decent buy, since its launch earlier this year the phone has come down in price, meaning it's become a bit of a steal.
- Read our LG G4 review
Best luxury: iPhone 6S Plus + Apple Watch
When it comes to luxury devices, there's no escaping it: the iPhone 6S Plus wins hands down. Though Android's pretenders to the luxury crown offer a decent challenge, ultimately they can't match the elegant design and premium feel of an Apple device.
Perhaps it's all just alchemy, and clever manipulation of consumers with its branding, but Apple is still the choice of smartphone elitists.
So if you want to join the jet-set you'll need a 128GB 6S Plus, and an Apple Watch to go with it. The two work beautifully in combination – and thanks to your notifications and messages arriving on your wrist, you'll never miss drinks at the Polo club again.
- Read our iPhone 6S Plus review | Apple Watch review
Alternative: Xperia Z5 Premium + Tag Heuer
Don't fancy Apple's vision of the high life? Then perhaps this Android combo can coax every last penny from your wallet.
Pair the Sony Xperia Z5 Premium – the world's first 4K smartphone – with the Android Wear-toting Tag Heuer Connected smartwatch and you'll be looking at an outlay of over £1,600.
You'll be the talk of the town as you flaunt that 4K display, backed by plenty of power under the hood and a stand-out camera, while your designer smartwatch glints in the sun.
Best camera phone: Samsung Galaxy S6
Samsung's crop of S6-branded handsets all sport fantastic cameras, and the flagship Galaxy S6 boasts one of the best snappers on the market.
Its 16MP sensor and behind-the-scenes image processing smarts enable you to take some stonking photos – and they also look great on the bright, vibrant QHD AMOLED display.
There are a selection of useful photo modes, but Samsung has killed off some of the more gimmicky offerings found in previous iterations, honing its camera app for a more professional look and feel.
- Read our Samsung Galaxy S6 review
Alternative camera phone: iPhone 6S
Photographers will tell you that "megapixel's aren't everything" – and that's the mantra employed by Apple in its fleet of iPhones.
The 12MP snapper on the iPhone 6S may pale in comparison to its Android rivals size-wise, but Apple's done something very clever with those 12 million pixels, producing one of the best smartphone cameras on the market.
When Apple announced this year's devices back in September its executives spent a lot of time extolling the virtues of the iPhone 6S camera. And there's one feature we particularly like, and which no Android device has so far been able to match: video shooting at 240fps.
Shooting at this speed enables you to produce super-slow-motion footage, making the phone great for capturing leaps, dives and runs – after shooting the latter, simply dub in the Chariots of Fire theme for the full effect.

German Government and Diplomatic Officials carried extremely elegant daggers having silvered mounts with artificial mother-of-pearl grip plates. The pommel top is constructed in the shape of an eagle bird head shown from the side, positioned looking to the left. The crossguard portrays an open-winged eagle which clutches a wreathed swastika. On the Government Official's dagger, the bird looks to the left, the same direction as the top pommel.
On the Diplomatic version, the bird looks to the right, opposite from the pommel top. The silvered scabbards are equipped with carrying bands which portray overlapping oak leaves with an acorn mix.
GODO #39810C Government Official's Dagger
This Government Officials Dagger is the first if its type I have seen. It was most likely made by a smaller Solingen firm who purchased the components individually and then performed the finishing.
The hilt and backstrap of the dagger are in the Alcoso style. They are nearly identical to Alcoso pieces, except for the small accent line that runs around the edges where the backstrap and pommel meet the grip, which has been more definitively hand enhanced than we normally see. The head, beak and eye of the bird are in fine condition, with the usual overlaps at the eyelid and beak.
The spanner nut is also interesting. Instead of the close spacing seen on Alcoso spanners this nut has holes that are wider apart, much like those used by Eickhorn.
The left grip cover plate is similar to an Eickhorn type in that it is non-magnetic; Alcoso examples usually are magnetic. The ferrule is definitively an Alcoso type, although the twin trim lines are hand accented more deeply than we normally see.
The crossguard of the dagger is definitively an Eickhorn example. This guard has the very high tipped wings unique to Eickhorn, as well as the very large raised, wreathed swastika. The detail to to the bird remains pretty good, and the silvering is completely intact throughout the hilt.
The grip plates are quite beautiful. They are slightly different than we normally see, but that is hardly a surprise on this unique piece. These plates have very beautiful swirling patterns and really do resemble mother-of-pearl. What is really interesting, however, is the fantastic fit achieved by the original craftsman; these plates fit much, much better than any Eickhorn or Alcoso example I've seen in the past. Some really beautiful work here!
When we took this dagger apart it was obvious that the carved wooden base grip was also a fine piece of craftsmanship. All of the parts are numbered "281", right down to the spanner.
The scabbard of the dagger is definitively an Alcoso example, straight throughout and with outstanding pebbled surfaces on both sides. The bands are decorated with oak leaves and acorns which rise towards the eyelets. The eyelets are triple-serrated and, like Alcoso products, have the internal enforcing sleeve.
The unmarked blade is a standard example. It shows some minor surface age, but has a needle-like tip. The original small leather blade buffer is in place.
A most interesting Government Official's Dagger here that is priced to sell.
Excellent Plus. $3,500.00
GODO #39691C Diplomatic Official's Dagger – Alcoso
This Diplomatic Official's Dagger is quite a fine example. It is on consignment and arrived here without a scabbard; unfortunately the owner was not able to find one and decided it sell it as-is. As luck would have it I did have an extra scabbard in my parts box. This scabbard shows some age and usage (slightly more than seen on the dagger itself) but at least it completes the piece. If you'd like to buy this dagger without the replacement scabbard our asking price with be significantly lower.
The scabbard I've added to this dagger is dent free, but shows some wear to the pebbled finish. Nothing too bad, though. It has the proper bands with overlapping oak leaves that run towards the eyelets, a sure sign of an Alcoso scabbard. The eyelets are the textbook Alcoso types, having triple serrated surfaces and the small sleeves on the interior of the rings. The throat is retained by flat head, small bore Alcoso screws.
The hilt of this dagger is in choice condition, with 100% of the silvering intact. The noble pommel eagle looks to the viewer's left. The edges of the eagles beak remain nice and crisp; apparently this dagger was not worn often, or treated gently. The cantilevered portion of the bird's head over the backstrap is also crisp, with no hits. The brow, eyes, and feathering of this bird all remains in fine condition. The hilt area below the pommel is hand scribed with a decorative line that runs about half way to the backstrap, following up identically on the opposite side.
The side plate is of steel, something we seen on Alcoso pieces. All of the original plating remains on this plate. The ferrule is in crisp, choice condition, with the characteristic scribed lines that run around the circumference.
The crossguard is in very fine condition. It depicts an open-winged eagle that looks to the right, opposite to the eagle head on the pommel. This bird retains fine, crisp detailing throughout.
The grip plates are simulated mother-of-pearl crafted from textured celluloid. This celluloid is quite beautiful, with fine swirls and having toned to a golden sheen after all of these years. I did not bother to disassemble this dagger; it is more than obvious that it is genuine and there is no need to disrupt the tight fit of the parts with an unnecessary take down.
The blade of this dagger is a fine, mint example, with all of the crossgrain. The reverse is marked with the last trademark used by Alcoso; a set of scales with the firm's initials interspersed. To the right of the scales is the name of the firm, in script. This dagger, like many we see, has a blue leather washer.
So, there you have it. This is an opportunity to acquire a Diplomat Dagger for an extremely reasonably price, roughly half of what they usually sell for. As stated above, if you don't want the replacement scabbard you can take $1,000.00 off our asking price.
Excellent, Plus. $6,995.00
GODO #39142C Diplomatic Official's Dagger - Alcoso
This Diplomatic Official's Dagger shows a little wear spread around the various hilt and scabbard mounts, but, overall, remains in very nice condition, with the silvered surfaces intact throughout.
The eagle head pommel has fine detail to the bird's feathering, brow, eye and nicely squared beak. The backstrap has the hand-done enhancement grooves that run along the edges and connect at the reverse back strap and beneath the beak. The back portion of the eagle head pommel has a good cantilever, having no hits to the edges. The upper pommel surfaces have a few small taps. The spanner appears to have been out a few times, but the holes are still rounded and are not buggered up. The ferrule below has the Alcoso hand-done twin accent lines running around their circumference; on the Eickhorn versions these enhancement lines are built-in the mold.
The Diplomatic crossguard depicts an open-winged eagle facing toward the viewer's right, being opposite the pommel eagle. The detail is still good to the bird's head, feathering and talons. The oak leaf wreath surfaces around the raised swastika show some surface wear, obviously caused by the hand of the original wearer as he steadied his dagger while walking; this kind of detail really talks to you! The upper rim of the reverse guard has either a small hit to the metal or it is a casting flaw, although I think it is probably the latter. It is not bad, but it is there.
The fine grip plates on this dagger are of celluloid simulating mother-of-pearl. They have turned a pleasing golden color and are most attractive with swirls and twirls in the surfaces.
The scabbard is straight throughout have excellent silvered surfaces with no lifting to the edge areas. The finely pebbled panels are also still fairly crisp. The oak leaf and acorn bands are the style that properly rise to the eyelets on the obverse. These bands show minor surface usage. The attached eyelets are the Alcoso type, having the small flair around the entrance holes, typical of this producer. The eyelets have the triple serrations. The serrations also have surface wear commensurate with the cross guard, and bands. It is easy to picture this dagger while in wear 75 years ago, as these mild wear spots are all what you would expect on a weapon that was actually worn. The throat is retained by two flat head side screws. Although I did not remove them, these screws will be a very small bore, typical of what was used by the Alcoso firm. The blade is bright throughout. It is not the usual, polished type, instead having a fine nickel finish. The blade shows a few usage signs, but basically it is in mint condition with a good needle-like tip. The reverse ricasso is etched with the logo used from 1937-1939. It consists of a set of scales having the firm's initial's interspersed, "ACS". Above the scales is the firm's name block-lettered in an arch shape, "Alcoso". Below is the location city of "Solingen". The original blue leather blade washer is in place.
A good original, solid example here.We took this dagger apart since we could see on the spanner where it had been disassembled in the past. What a surprise! The dagger is stamped "1" throughout all of the internal parts! Could it have been the first one produced by Alcoso? Additionally, the tang on the blade is the first style early type with the tapered straight shoulders, not the normal style that has the edges flared at the bottom. This is the earliest Diplomatic dagger we have seen. This number "1" discovery certainly explains why the dagger shows a good deal of wear on the surfaces of the cross guard wreath as well as on the serrations of the eyelets. This also explains why the scabbard shell has the early ultra-fine pebbling, as compared to the later, less course type.
Excellent Plus. $12,500.00
GODO #35937C Diplomatic Official's Dagger – Alcoso
I think most collectors would agree that the Diplomatic Official's Dagger is probably the most elegant of all the pieces made during the Third Reich time. This piece whole heartedly conforms with that opinion, being in choice condition throughout. The dagger is a textbook Alcoso piece and does not appear to have been apart recently. There are some scars on the spanner but they look to have been done a long time ago. The dagger is nice and tight fitting throughout and I am reluctant to take it apart just to see the numbers inside. I am sure that it is matched numbered but if the next owner wishes to check out the inside parts and if for some reason they do not match I will gladly except the dagger back as I am sure that they will match.
The silvering throughout the hilt is outstanding. The eagle head is extremely crisp throughout the beak, brow and extended point at the back of the head. There are no hits. The eagle's head has excellent detail to the eye and the feathering on both obverse and reverse that flows downward from the brow area. The border below the beak and the pommel, stretching down to the backstrap has very fine hand engraved lines that follow the edges. The left side plate is in outstanding condition having 100% plating. The reason for this is that this side plate is non-magnetic indicating that it is a brass base as opposed to the usual steel base where the silvering often comes off. The ferrule area is in excellent condition having the hand cut twin sets of accent lines around the circumference.
The crossguard is as nice as you will see on one of these daggers. It depicts a outstretched wing eagle which looks to the viewer's right. The detail to the bird's eye and the two accent lines at the breast area are nice and clear. The wing feathering has lots of hand treatment to give a crisp look to each area. The talons of the bird are also hand accented and they grasp an oak leaf wreath which contains a raised mobile swastika which is positioned deep within the center area of the wreath. The upper areas of the crossguard also have full silvering with some frosting still evident. The Alcoso diplomatic crossguards have a larger wreath than do the government official counterparts. This is the case here also. The grip plates are a great simulated mother of pearl actually being celluloid. They have impressive swirls in the surfaces and have turned a very desirable golden color.
The scabbard is also a dandy. This scabbard has 100% silvering with almost no age in the surfaces. The silvering has taken on an outstanding black patina which is uniform throughout. The pebbled patterns are still nice and crisp throughout this straight-as-an-arrow shell. The carrying bands feature the overlapping oak leaves decorated with acorns. The oak leaves are positioned upward on the obverse toward the eyelets. These eyelets have extremely crisp triple serrated edges and are designed with a flare at the opening to save wear and tear caused by the hanging rings. The hanging rings also are nicely patinated. The throat of this scabbard is retained by two typical flatter head style Alcoso screws, both of which are unturned.
The blade is nice and bright throughout having good needlelike tip. The crossgraining is evident when moved in a proper light. This blade remains in near full mint condition. The reverse ricasso is etched with the trademark used from 1937-1939. This trademark consists of a set of scales which have the firm's initials interspersed, "ACS". Above the scales the firm's name is written in block letters in an arch shape, "Alcoso". Beneath is the location city of "Solingen". The blade is buffered by a fine small brown leather washer in choice condition.
An extremely nice Diplomatic Dagger here ready to enter an advanced collection with pride. No collection is complete without one of these impressive daggers.
Mint Minus. $14,995.00
GODO #35114 Government Official's Dagger - Alcoso
This Alcoso Government Official's Dagger is in outstanding condition throughout. It retains all of its silvering throughout the hilt and scabbard, except for the cover plate, which does show a little age. Other than the cover plate though, the silvering is really outstanding. The spanner nut has great formation to the original take down holes, and studying it would indicate that it may have been out once, but that is it. There is no scarring here, and it is a pleasure to see a spanner in this state. The eagle head pommel is in choice condition, with fine brows over the eyes, and excellent cantilever section on the reverse of the head. There are no hits to any of these areas. The beak is squared off nicely, showing only modest wear. The feathering below the bird's head is crisp. The accent lines which run along the border of the lower pommel and backstrap are nicely done. The ferrule below has the traditional hand-cut, dual accent lines.
The crossguard is a nice example, featuring the eagle head, which looks to the viewer's left, the same as the pommel. This bird has fine detail to his eye and beak, as well as the chest, talons, wreath, and raised swastika. The crossguard, by Alcoso standards, is an excellent depiction.
The grip plates are a simulated mother-of-pearl celluloid, which has turned a fine, golden color. The obverse plate is just slightly lighter than the tones of the reverse plate. These grips have the usual, attractive swirl pattern in their surfaces.
The scabbard of this example is straight throughout, and could not be any nicer. The edges are perfect throughout their entire lengths-it is rare to see scabbards in this condition. The pebble pattern is completely crisp, and the overlapping oak leaf bands and acorns provide fine detail. The eyelets have the triple serrated surfaces, still being crisp throughout, showing no wear. These eyelets are equipped with the standard sleeve that we see used by the producers of this dagger. The throat is retained by two flatter head side screws which are unturned.
The blade of this example is bright throughout, having fine 100% crossgrain, and the tip is still needle-like. This fine blade is marked on the reverse ricasso, with the trademark used from 1937-1939. This trademark consists of the scales, having the firm's initials interspersed "ACS". Above the scales is the firm's name in an arch shape, being in block letters, "ALCOSO". Below is the location city of "SOLINGEN". The original, blue leather blade washer is in place. An extremely fine example of the Alcoso government official. This dagger is completely textbook throughout, and judging by the fine mounts and excellent crossguard, it is an intial production example. Due to the outstanding condition of the spanner, I do not feel that it is necessary to take this piece down, as we know it is an original, and there is no need to see the assembly numbers. If you're looking for a "cracker" Alcoso GO dagger, this example should fill your bill.
Mint Minus. $7,495.00
GODO #33548 Uncleaned Diplomatic Official's Dagger – Alcoso
This Alcoso Diplomatic Official's Dagger is a lucky dog to have made it through these seventy years and now hopefully into a collection. I acquired this piece about four years ago with no scabbard and a terrible rusty Alcoso blade. I have been looking for a proper Alcoso scabbard for all of this time and finally through a lucky break an Alcoso army dagger showed up at a German show with a proper Alcoso diplomatic scabbard. I was notified of this and fortunately was able to purchase this scabbard. It is always fun to be able to find parts missing from a rare piece. If this has ever happened with you, you know the great pleasure that getting something together again can bring.
We changed the rusted blade to a period Alcoso example fitted properly and are selling the dagger with the original blade so there is no faux pas committed here. The dagger has never been cleaned and is still in its natural state. The entire hilt is completely patinated. We were very lucky in that the spanner nut was still loose so there was no buggering to the holes when we made the blade change. The pommel of this example of course portrays a noble eagle looking to the viewer's left. The sharp edge around the back of the head has one hit but it is not too bad. The beak at the front is not as crisp as when it was new but this does not look bad either. The brow over the bird's eye is still good on both sides and the feather segments that go downward on either side are also still crisp. The back hilt and the borders of the front hilt areas have the hand engraved accent line. The cover plate on the left side is a brass one so we are lucky, it still has all of the silvering. The ferrule below has the usual cut in accent lines and is in good condition.
The beautiful diplomatic crossguard has the raised quillons at the end of the bird's wings and the bird's head of course looks opposite the pommel head. This bird is looking to the viewer's right. There is a little bit of "tap, tap" damage on the bird's breast but other than that the details are nice and clear throughout the wing spread, head, talons, wreath and raised swastika. I may not have mentioned it previously but the silvering appears to all be here at 100%. If the next owner elects to clean this piece it probably would come up quite nicely. When we had the dagger apart of course, we looked at the number. The numbers inside are all matching being number, "102".
The Alcoso scabbard that we have discovered is a very choice example. It is nice and straight throughout and still has good crisp pebbling. Fortunately it is still fairly dark with patina so the two pieces make up nicely together. This fine scabbard has the raised oak leaf and acorn motif which run upward towards the triple serrated eyelets. These eyelets have the sleeve on both of the edges where the ring goes through. This is a typical Alcoso part. The throat is a slightly thin type and it is retained by two Alcoso small bore flatter head side screws. The silvering also is in totally perfect condition on this scabbard with absolutely no lifting.
The blade that we put into this piece is a good Alcoso example still being nice and bright and having 100% of the graining throughout with needlelike tip. Other than in and out marks and just some very slight signs of age this blade is in near full mint condition. The reverse ricasso is etched with the scales trademark having the firm's initials, "ACS" interspersed. Above the scales is the firm's name written in script, "Alcoso" and below the scales is the location city of "Solingen". This trademark was used during 1940. There was no washer with the dagger when it was acquired so we used the brown leather washer that was with this blade.
This is a nice Diplomatic Dagger here that admittedly has had some restoration work but it is 100% original and is priced accordingly.

GODO #31559 Diplomatic Dagger - Alcoso
This Alcoso Diplomatic Dagger was a recent purchase at the Max show. I purchased it from a Las Vegas pawn shop dealer who was walking around with it. This dagger has never been cleaned and it still has a nice dark patination throughout.
The dagger shows some minor usage signs here and there but basically it is still in good crisp condition. The eagle head has a good crisp brow over the eye as well as to the head which cantilevers over the reverse backstrap area. The beak itself is still good and squared at the surface. At the eagle's head, just over the reverse brow, there is a slight hit where either the dagger bumped into something or it was dropped. It is not bad however. The spanner is in excellent condition meeting flush with the head and only looking to have been out once or twice. We know it was out once as we took a look inside and the numbers throughout this diplomatic piece are "21". This includes the spanner, backstrap, front plate, grip wood, crossguard and blade tang. The backstrap has the usual hand done border line and decorative point which we see on these pieces. The ferrule has good detail having the two lines cut in separately for decoration. The side plate has most of the original silvering worn from the surfaces. It is however a brass base example. The crossguard is a very beautiful example. The Alcoso diplomatic crossguards are much nicer than those that were produced for the government official. The eagle looks to the viewer's right opposite from the pommel top. This bird has a great splendor to its outspread wings. The detail is exceptional and the bird's eye and beak are even discernible. The bird's legs grasp a fine wreath of oak leaves which presents a raised mobile swastika in the center. The dimensions of the wreath are larger on the diplomatic dagger than they are on the Alcoso Government Official's Dagger.
Wrapped about the ferrule is an original diplomatic knot. This knot is the traditional small size having narrow cord and stem and slide to match. The ball is about half the size of a normal army dagger ball. This knot shows a little bit of usage and some oxidation but basically it is all there. There is also some fray where the cord comes out of the knot. We can't be too fussy here though as these knots are extremely difficult to come by. The scabbard is straight throughout. It has good silvering having a little bit of lifting along the scabbard edges but no silvering is gone. The pebble pattern is still quite crisp throughout the panels. The bands are the oak leaf and acorn type with the oak leaves running upward towards the eyelets. These eyelets are the triple serrated type and as is the case with Alcoso they have sleeves to prevent wear in the areas where the rings go through. The throat of this example is retained by two small bore mostly flathead Alcoso screws.
The blade of this example is a beauty. It is completely bright throughout and has all of the crossgraining. There are only the slightest signs of any age in the surfaces. This blade still grades at near full mint. It also retains its original needlelike tip. The reverse of the blade is etched with the early trademark. It features a set of scales which has the firm's initials "ACS" interspersed. Above the scales in an arch shape in block letters is the firm's name, "Alcoso" and below in a straight line is the location, "Solingen". This trademark was used from 1937 through 1939. The blade is buffered by a fine dark blue felt washer.
A nice diplomatic dagger here which has never been in a collection. A good opportunity to acquire an outstanding original artifact.

Deborah Mullen, senior administrative assistant at Concord Municipal Light Plant (CMLP), said it was interesting watching a film crew transform the plant's parking garage last week into a set for the upcoming movie "The Judge."
Deborah Mullen, senior administrative assistant at Concord Municipal Light Plant (CMLP), said it was interesting watching a film crew transform the plant's parking garage last week into a set for the upcoming movie "The Judge."
"They had more lights, green screens, white screens and people running around like little ants in our garage last Monday," Mullen said. "It was actually somewhat comical. And all for probably a couple minutes of a movie. "
Crews set up at the Light Plant around 8 a.m. last Monday, CMLP Director David Wood said. At around 2:30 p.m. the actors shot a few scenes and finished up around 6:30 p.m. that same day.
The Judge" directed by David Dobkin, is about a successful lawyer who "returns to his hometown for his mother's funeral only to discover that his estranged father, the town's judge, is suspected of murder," according to IMDb's website, an online authoritative source for movie, TV and celebrity content.
Wood said the Light Plant was a very busy place last Monday as the film brought many people and equipment to the site. He said although it was pretty hectic, the crew didn't disrupt the CMLP's work in any way at all.
Mullen said the CMLP linemen parked their trucks on the outside of the building during lunchtime as they usually do and stayed out of the garage after they ate.
"They still had full access to the inventory for any needs they had," she said. "The movie crew entered and left the set through the repair bays and kept the garage doors shut the whole time. They even brought in a huge portable air conditioning system and big duct tubing so they could keep the actors cool while they were working."
A silver Ford Explorer with Indiana license plates was being used inside the garage for the filming. According to the film's publicist, the movie takes place in Indiana.
In addition to filming at the Light Plant on Monday, the crew also shot a few scenes at MCI-Concord prison right down the road.
Stars Robert Duvall, a veteran actor who is known for his roles in "The Godfather" and "Apocalypse Now," was on scene at CMLP as was Robert Downey Jr., known for his roles in "The Avengers" and "Iron Man." Young actress Emma Tremblay was also on set.
Mullen said a few members of the CMLP staff went outside to watch the filming for a brief time. While they were out there, Duvall walked over to the group and took pictures with them and signed autographs. She described Duvall as very friendly and generous.
Robert Downey Jr., was busy getting changed for a scene but Mullen said he waved to the group and smiled from about 30 feet away.
The film's cast also includes Vera Farmiga, who is known for her roles in the films "Up in the Air," "The Departed" and "Source Code"; Leighton Meester, who is well known for playing Blair Waldorf in the TV series "Gossip Girl"; Dax Shepard, who plays Crosby Braverman in the TV series "Parenthood"; and Billy Bob Thornton, who is known for his roles in "Armageddon" and "Sling Blade."
Scenes for the movie have also been filmed in Belmont, Waltham, Shelburne Falls, Dedham, Plymouth and various other locations around Boston, according to the publicist.
The Warner Bros. film is expected to be released sometime next year.

The first meeting of the 11th ACFIC Standing Committee focused on mobilizing the personages in the non-public economy, especially the owners of micro and small firms, to participate in a campaign to boost their faith in socialism with Chinese characteristics, their trust in the CPC and the government and their confidence in the development of their own companies.
Vice Minister of the United Front Work Department of the CPC Committee and ACFIC CPC Committee Secretary Quan Zhezhu told the meeting in Lanzou on June 20 that the "Entrepreneurs and China Dream" campaign has made a good start with the establishment of activity leadership groups in 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, as well as the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps.
He said that the personages of the non-public economy should be encouraged to lead the campaign, setting an examplary role in helping micro and small firms and talking about their growth paths, dreams and contributions.
But he said that county federations of industry and commerce and chambers of commerce, which should have the the widest, the most frequent and direct links with the small enterprises are yet to be mobilized.
The meeting was attended by about 150 people, including ACFIC Chairman Wang Qinmin, 22 ACFIC Vice Chairpersons, eight ACGCIC Vice Chairmen, the ACFIC Standing Committee members, and top officials from the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Gansu government.

A week after the twin eruptions of cinephilia at the far corners of the state (Cucalorus in Wilmington and the Asheville Film Festival), the Triangle played host to a festival of its own last Sunday. In its fourth year, the Carrboro Film Festival is comparatively low-key, and strictly locals-only—all entrants must reside, or have at one time resided, or at least stopped for gas in or near Orange County (just kidding about the last part).

Anthony Horowitz is considered one of the top television dramatists in the UK, as the mind behind such shows as Foyle's War, Midsomer Murders, numerous adaptations of Agatha Christie's Inspector Poirot tales and, most recently, Collision, currently airing on PBS' Masterpiece Contemporary (the miniseries concludes at 9 p.m. on Nov. 22; Part One encores at 2 a.m. on Nov. 21, for those with insomnia or TiVo). But his biggest success hasn't come from his reality-based dramas but a series of children's books about a teen spy: Alex Rider, a teen James Bond-style secret agent whose latest adventure, Crocodile Tears, was just published in the States on Nov. 17.

WILMINGTON, NC—After hearing for years about the hip, up-all-night film festival in Wilmington, I finally got to check out Cucalorus for myself this weekend. It's a cozy affair, taking place mostly in small, intimate venues, and even though it's developed a national presence in its 15 years, it's totally unpretentious, with a youthful staff and a laid-back vibe.

The Nov. 12 performance by Urban Bush Women at Duke's Reynolds Theater began with a lone dancer, her arms and shoulders rippling with muscles, standing under a misty spotlight as someone offstage read the names of African-American leaders and activists from Sojourner Truth to Malcolm X. It set the tone for the evening. Though Urban Bush Women performances are ostensibly a form of modern dance, they're more Toni Morrison than Martha Graham.

- Craig Mitchelldyer/Portland Timbers
- Timbers Brian Umony, Kalif Alhassan and Futty Danso check out the pitch where Portland will make its MLS debut tonight.
It's a beautiful morning in Portland, especially if you're a fan of the beautiful game.
The Timbers officially become big-league at 6 tonight, when they face the defending Major League Soccer champion Colorado Rapids at Dick's Sporting Goods Stadium in Commerce City. Local coverage is on Fox Sports Northwest (Comcast Ch. 34) and Fox Soccer Channel (Ch. 401), but if you're like me, getting together and watching with a big, rowdy group is half the fun of any sporting event. I'm planning on heading to the Bagdad to watch/chat with some Timbers Army folk, so if you see a guy with a recorder in his hand instead of a beer, it's probably me.
As for match-day rituals, I've started a new one today — scouring the Internets for Timbers links! Lots after the jump, including match previews, hashtags to follow and links to more photos of the team's travel day. Oh, and hey, Blogtown: I want to know your match-day rituals. Do you iron your scarf? Cheerios and Guinness? Let me know in the comments what gets you kicking.
* Dropping Timber has your match-day fix, noting opening-day jitters will be amplified tonight.
* Timbers forward Kenny Cooper and Colorado's Drew Moor have plenty of history as they renew a friendly rivalry today.
* John Meyer of the Denver Post profiles Timbers coach (and former Rapids' fan favorite) John Spencer.
* One's a new team, the other the defending champs, but the Timbers and Rapids have plenty in common.
* MLS Supporter has yet another team preview for you to digest.
* Ryan Gates of Dropping Timber was up late last night educating his family in Colorado just how big this moment is for Portland football.
* Prost Amerika calls today "the biggest day ever in the football history of the Pacific Northwest."
* Paul Danzer of The Columbian answers a few questions about the "big-time" Timbers and gives a quick breakdown of today's match.
* Shooter extraordinaire Craig Mitchelldyer's photos of the team traveling yesterday are pretty breathtaking.
* Geoffrey C. Arnold of The O breaks down the entire roster and its average age — 24.6 years old.
* NYSportsJournalism says "industry analysts" value the Timbers' stadium-naming-rights deal with Jeld-Wen at $2 million per year.
* If you're looking to scout Colorado, Soccer365.com has a preview, Goal.com has a match breakdown, and local Denver station KSDK has even more info.
* Follow the Timbers Army folks who made the trip to Colorado on Twitter, as well as more general Timbers revelry.

It's that time of year again folks. Usually reserved for PTQ and Pro Tour stops its time to liquidate my binders to get ready for a new format.

This leaves me open to really push to get my EDH deck complete. This being said, it is time for me to move some product so I thought I would give EBay a chance to be that outlet this year.

Huge scoop for ESPN LA reporter Ramona Shelburne (pictured). According to her sources, the Los Angeles Lakers couldn't even wait until the end of their first 2012-13 season homestand to see whether Mike Brown's Princeton offense could be salvaged. She says he was fired this morning:
After numerous discussions over the past 48 hours, Lakers management came to a unanimous decision that the team clearly wasn't heading in the right direction and it was best to fire him now.
This speaks also to the power of a "death stare." Even though Kobe Bryant laughed off the media's interpretation of his Utah glare in the direction of Brown, looks like the Buss clan took it very seriously.
The airwaves, blogosphere and sports bars will be full of chatter today about whether or not this was fair. It isn't, but then again, who said professional sports ever was or should be?

Unanswered: One or multiple databases for apps that share data?
I write a number of applications for my company and thus far what I have done is create a single database that has one Schema (Com) that holds common tables/procedures that almost all apps need. (Employee info, tables related to authorization/authentication, etc).
Then I've created a schema for each application that houses tables and procedures specific to that app.
I like this approach because I have no data duplication and strong referential Integrity. Many apps have tables that refer to the Employee table for instance and because they are in the same DB I can use Foreign Keys to ensure things are on the up and up. Prior to my arrival every app had its own database but therte was some duplication and refferential integrety was not inforced.
But .... I'm having trouble deciding if my approach is really the best or if there is a hybrid way that may be better. My main concern w/ what I am doing now is scalability. The DB is small now (About 6 MB but is young will certainly grow) w/ a potential for ~100 users.
What if the server it is on becomes too overworked and I need to split apps between servers. That's impossible w/ my design I think?
Also if I only wanted to backup certain information to work w/ I can't. Or is there a way to select only certain Schema's to backup/restore?
Anyway is there a better way? Should I make a separate DB for each app even though they will share the employee, security, and a couple other common tables? If so, how would you reccomend dealing w/ referential integrity. I'd greatly appreciate any ideas or experiences from people who have gone thru this.
Thanks for any help.

These terms provide for the following term of delivery: "Delivery is accomplished when the goods are handed over to the railway station in Roskilde." This clause is printed in big letters in the standard terms document and so, it is clearly visible.

The apples were handed over to Roskilde railway station on 23 August, 2008.
The wooden boxes with apples were stored in a railway goods wagon. In the same wagon were placed some oil barrels above the apple boxes. During the railway trip the weather got sonny and very hot which made the oil barrels leak as they were placed just under the roof of the waggon. The oil flowed from the barrels down over the apples and rendered them completely unfit for human consumption. The whole delivery of apples was severely damaged when it arrived to the Hannover railway station on Monday 25 August.

text: Didn"t know where to post this so sorry if it's in the wrong place. So I was at the Verizon Store today to by a mobile hotspot. While the rep was handling my purchasre there ws a guy there with his Droid X trying to get some help. It was his third time in. First time in he told me it was because the battery was completely draining in only a few hours and the battery was gettinh so hot it was burning his leg while in his pocket. The tech took a look at it and said he didn't see anything wrong and just let it break in. He returned a few days later and they said the problem was the battery and they gave him a new battery. When I met him, third time in, we talked a few minutes and he let me see the phone. First he had the screen on full brightness, second he had the phone scanning for a wifi connection full time and finally he had no battery savings options setup. Now this guy has come to Verizon 3 times and the tech has yet to help him set his phone up to work more efficiency. I firmly beleive this is the best phone on the market but Verizon needs to do better with helping there customers solve these problems.

NO KIDDING, those are quality clothes and cheap.
Yea I couldnt pass it up lol
I put most of them up so I didnt have 10 pairs of work jeans in a week lol
- I still have a few nice pairs
ive got a local uniform shop where i buy dark blue RED CAP brand work pants for about the same or a few dollars less then dickey brand work pants are sold nation wide . and their better than dickeys imo , ecspecially the button type closure over dickeys metal clasp which tends to wear out . the red caps also come in dark green / grey / black .
and the shop hems them for free so i get them real short , they come up to about 2 inches above the top of my hiking boots , for good air flow + plus they dont get wet as easy like longer pants do from touching grass + plus i can run better with the shorter pants legs . i dont wear shorts because im the full time weed whipper and fly like a tornado with my red max laser beam and the flying debris would rip up my legs .
Generally the kind that go on one leg at a time.......
Try the veal, Im here all week.
I like the heavy duty Dickies Carpenter pants. They get plenty hot but they last long and I can get 'em K-Mart cheap.
Have you seen the videos of people putting pants on both feet at the same time?
tan cotton shorts and the thin cheap t shirts for the crew, white with green lettering front and back. management wears Polo shirts and tan shorts/ skorts, at after hours meetings I will wear a dress most times, the other leaders wear, Polo shirts/ company jackets( thin wind breakers) with the logo.and tan pants. the climbers get away with jeans/ tan pants( usually carhart/Dickie's)every thing has our colors and our logo,every thing, we even did our dog for the parade, she was one green pooch!!! the trailers have my number in 3 foot tall vinyl, green signs, green banners. we are very placement oriented with our advertising, simple, and in your face at every turn, nobody can miss me.
that was my thinking, t-shirts for the crew and polos for management. That way, when your on the site the customer doesn't have to play any many miny moe to pick the leader. Plus, keep it the same and you will stand out more to people.

Chimney Corners for Girls Preparing for Camp Camp Food
The Chimney Corners Camp Food Service, under the leadership of Michael (Mik) Monti and in cooperation with the other departments of Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA, has developed the following mission, philosophy and goals related to our camp food. Most importantly, though, is that our campers and staff love the food and the people who prepare it because they know that it is prepared with their well-being in mind. Campers and staff are asked to give regular feedback and suggestions about our food to ensure that the menus reflect items that are enjoyed by all.
Mik and his staff are available throughout the year to discuss any food questions or concerns. Mik and his staff will be available on opening days of camp to discuss plans for accommodating any special dietary concerns (please see below for dietary restrictions that are automatically addressed at camp.)
To ensure that every camper and guest at Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA enjoys wholesome, appetizing, nutritionally sound meals, prepared with care in a clean and healthy environment, where all staff are knowledgeable, helpful, courteous and friendly.
Our campers and guests are a diverse clientele who span the entire social and economic spectra, and range in age from young elementary students to senior citizens. We are dedicated to ensuring that all meals served to our campers, guests and staff are appreciated and enjoyed.
We strive to prepare fresh meals daily, using healthy natural ingredients. Our goal is to partner with local farmers and growers who are committed to sustainable practices and maintaining humane standards.
Further, we intend to partner with a licensed dietitian in order to stay current on dietary recommendations to continue to improve the nutritional quality of our meals.
Our Food Service departments provide healthy food choices for campers and guests to appreciate and enjoy.
At Becket-Chimney Corners YMCA the Food Service Department holds 6 Core Values in designing and preparing delicious menus for our guests. We focus on creating meals that are:
The following are specific dietary needs that are accommodated in all camp meals. Campers wanting to adhere to these particular dietary styles will always find a full meal awaiting them:
In addition, the following dietary styles are held in awareness as noted:

New strains of highly potent cannabis are as dangerous as heroin and cocaine and the drug can no longer be dismissed as "soft and relatively harmless", the United Nations said yesterday.
In an implied criticism of Britain's decision to downgrade cannabis, Antonio Maria Costa, the head of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, said that countries got the "drug problem they deserved" if they maintained inadequate policies.
His comments indicated deep unhappiness with the Government's decision to reclassify cannabis from a Class B drug to Class C. Heroin and cocaine are Class A substances, attracting the toughest penalties for possession and trafficking.
"Policy reversals leave young people confused as to just how dangerous cannabis is," said Mr Costa, introducing the Vienna-based organisation's annual report.
"With cannabis-related health damage increasing, it is fundamentally wrong for countries to make cannabis control dependent on which party is in government. The cannabis pandemic, like other challenges to public health, requires consensus, a consistent commitment across the political spectrum and by society at large."
Mr Costa said that cannabis was now "considerably more potent" than a few decades ago. It was "a mistake" to dismiss it as a soft drug.
"Today the harmful characteristics of cannabis are no longer that different from those of other plant-based drugs such as cocaine and heroin," he said.
The UN report estimates that 160 million people use the drug worldwide, with a growing market for stronger strains - known as skunk, among other names - which are far stronger than when most of today's policy-makers were young.
The study claimed that a ''significant'' number of cannabis users had experienced panic attacks, paranoia and "psychotic symptoms" during cannabis intoxication - dangers heightened by the growing availability of stronger varieties.
It said: ''Despite early claims to the contrary, cannabis dependence is a reality. Many people who use cannabis find it difficult to stop, even when it interferes with other aspects of their lives, and more than a million people from all over the world enter treatment for cannabis dependence each year.
''Research indicates that younger users, whose brains are still developing, may be especially vulnerable to the negative effects of cannabis. Despite its normalisation in some countries and its occasional celebration in popular culture, it should be noted that cannabis is a powerful drug that has recently become more powerful in many parts of the world.''
Britain downgraded cannabis two years ago in an effort to free police resources to concentrate on ''serious'' drugs, such as crack and heroin. A review of that decision in January this year retained the current classification.
David Davis, the shadow home secretary, said the UN report indicated that "the Government's seriously confused course of action on cannabis has led to chaos and confusion".
The Home Office emphasised that cannabis remained illegal even if its classification had been lowered. It claimed that its use had declined among young people.
A spokesman said: ''It is harmful and illegal and no one should take it."
The report also expressed concern about growing cocaine use, particularly in western Europe, where demand was reaching "alarming levels".
"I urge European Union governments not to ignore this peril,'' Mr Costa said. "Too many professional, educated Europeans use cocaine, often denying their addiction, and drug abuse by celebrities is often presented uncritically by the media leaving young people confused and vulnerable."
A report from the European Union's Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction said that drug deaths in Europe were at their highest ever.

Q: front end loose on 2001 Ford Explorer Sport Trac
My front end seems loose and wobbly my tires are really wearing on the inside. What is causing this? 130000 mi
Have the suspension checked out, there are ball joints, bushings and other parts that can be worn out. This sounds potentially dangerous, and it should be looked at very soon.
Stop by any place that does alignments, they put it on a lift and tell you that they cant align it because of bad parts and will give you a price quote to fix it.
Have your front stabilizers looked at. I had similar issue, front tires had massive inside wear - sloppy and loose steering. Have it looked at soon, because the Sport Trac is already know for being a roll over hazard - you don't want the added pressure of a shot front end
Get it balanced and aligned

The Son That Former NFL Player Rae Carruth Tried To Kill Turns 18, Still Suffering From Permanent Brain Damage
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Lil Wayne is back, and he's ready to be a superstar again. In the cover story of the new issue of Rolling Stone, his first interview since getting out of Rikers Island correctional facility last November after an eight-month stay, Wayne recounts life in jail and discusses his long-awaited return to form, Tha Carter IV. According to the offline article, the album is scheduled for an April release, possibly even sooner.
Among the album's expected hightlights are guests appearances by Kanye West, T-Pain and Drake and a potential new single called "Wayne's World."
Aside from last year's hodgepodge I Am Not a Human Being, Lil Wayne has not had a proper rap album since 2008's much celebrated Tha Carter III. In 2009, his ill-conceived rap-rock excursion Re-Birth was released to little fanfare.
In Wayne's absence, stars like Eminem, Jay-Z and West—and lately, representatives of his own Young Money imprint, Drake and Nicki Minaj—have had the spotlight to themselves. With Tha Carter IV, he hopes to change all that.
One thing we know for sure about the new record is that Chris Brown will not get a chance to rap on it. In one of the many humorous anecdotes in the Rolling Stone piece (some of which can be sampled here), Wayne reviews his work on Chris Brown's new song "Look at Me Now," and laments that he can't use the track for his album.
"I am not having Chris Brown rapping on Tha Carter IV," he says. "Do you know how many rappers would be like, 'I can't get on Tha Carter IV, but this nigga put Chris Brown on that bitch? Rapping?'"
The former wide receiver, who plotted the murder of his ex, Cherica Adams, is scheduled to be released from prison soon.
Each of the men could be served a life sentence in prison.
