Floyd Cridge
- Filed Under
A New Castle man accused of delivering a deadly kick during a February 2010 brawl outside a local tavern has been placed on probation for two years.
Floyd Joshua Cridge, 28, was at first charged with involuntary manslaughter, a Class C felony carrying a standard four-year prison term, in the death of 23-year-old Andrea Kidd. In May, however, he struck a deal with prosecutors and pleaded guilty to criminal recklessness, a Class D felony with a standard 18-month ...

Hi ive been modding 360's for the past 6 months and have done a fair few for friends and family somewhere in the region of 100 xbox's i have tackled all various drives and problems, including the 79fk and the benq and all the basic drives.
Now that i can pretty much do them all. With christmas coming up. I was thinking i might sell this as a service to people. I actually own my own business doing SEO & programming management systems so i could do it all above board but was wondering of the legalitys behind it. Is it illegal ?
I have a friend who works for the royal mail he hands out leaflets constantly given to them by various companys. I was going to print a load off, and offer to flash consoles for £35 a go. Getting him to drop them in peoples houses.
Also as far as backing games up goes. I would prefer to stay away from that side of things due to piracy laws etc. But if somebody actually brought a game they owned to me and signed a form or brough a reciept to say they did infact own it bla bla could i back it up for them, as i think it would be arkward tryin to explain how to do it to everybody.
Any advice on this would be great, Feel free to put me in my place if im suggesting something illegal :<

it is a bit of a grey area as in some places it is illegal to hack a console, but some places it is completely legal. check your local law to find out
as for selling backed up games, it it illegal no matter what you do, period

Sounds like nice idea, but I could see some legal issues with it.
Posted 04 November 2007 - 06:13 PM
I assume by the Royal Mail mention, you are in Britain. I read recently that you can only be prosecuted if you earn financial gain from the modding, which in your case would be true. My favourite UK chip supplier's recently been busted & when reading about it on t'interweb, that was the interpretation of the law.

As mentioned above if you are in the UK, everything you mentioned is illegal. Regardless, DO NOT TOUCH THE MAKING OF BACKUPS WITH A 10 FOOT POLE!!!!!!!!!!!!! That will get you into more trouble than anything else. It doesn't matter what the circumstances are, stay away from any kind of backup production.

Bernie Ecclestone has revealed that he has spoken to BSkyB about giving away free boxes in order to improve viewing figures in the UK.
Sky secured the contract to broadcast Formula One in the UK from the 2012 season onwards, with the BBC only showing half of the races live. The move was met with some anger from British fans who were now forced to take out a subscription with Sky in order to see every race live, and the viewing figures reflected this, falling by 3.8m last year. In order to combat this, Ecclestone is interested in making F1 available to all once again.
"I said you can guarantee that when you put a Sky box in the house, although it is only for F1, people are going to say 'why can't I watch the rest' and they will sign up," Ecclestone is quoted as saying by the Express.
"Children will say 'my friends at school watch this so why can't we?' Sky are very good with that kind of idea. It would use F1 to drive their subscriptions."
Essentially, Sky would be offering Formula One to all in the hope that they would then take out a contract for one of their other services, such as Sky Sports or Sky Movies.
The idea would make F1 more accessible, but it would also require a large outlay from Sky to make the boxes available, and they would most probably try to negotiate a reduced rate for the F1 rights should the deal go ahead. However, it would unquestionably increase the viewing figures, and Sky's extensive programming on their dedicated channel would also benefit. Having secured the rights though, Sky may be reluctant to negotiate such a deal until their contract expires.
Ecclestone's comments also suggest that he may be open to the entire season returning to a free-to-air channel in the near future.

Elise Marie "Elsie"
De Lille
Sep. 22, 1895
Prairie City
Grant County
Oregon, USA
Jun. 29, 1968
Los Angeles County
California, USA
Our grandmother, Elise "Elsie" Day De Lille, was born in Prairie City, Grant County, Oregon in 1895.
Her father,
James Henry Day
, was the son and grandson of pioneers of Minnesota, Oregon and Washington.
Her mother,
Mary Edna Sorenson
, emigrated to the United States at an early age from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Elsie's older sister,
Evelyn Eleanor Williams
was also born in Grant County and
Ada "Adree" Marion Vining
was born in California.
Eastern Oregon suffered a drought in the late 1890s, which may have brought about the family's move to California. They first settled near Watsonville, then moved on to Los Angeles.
When Elsie (or "Nonie", as we called her) was six years old, her father died in Whittier, at an early age from paralysis, leaving a wife and three daughters. Her mother re-married shortly after James Henry's death. It is unclear whether or not Nonie got along with her step-father,
Isaac Spencer
Her grandmother,
Ellen McDaniel Day Deardorff Williamson
, also lived with the family and my mother recalled that Nonie spoke of her often.
Nonie was extremely proud of her pioneer roots and often told the (unsubstantiated) story that she was a descendant of John Day, for whom much is named after in Eastern Oregon. She was old enough to have known her great-uncle,
Nicholas Tarter Day
, and I think some of the stories she repeated to my mother are about him.
Nonie met and married Jud Oviatt in 1912. She was 17 and he was 29. They lived in Kern County, California, where Jud owned a pharmacy. They had three children;
Leila "Arlene"
Jud Ballard
, (the "Ballard" was for Nonie's favorite uncle,
William Ballard Day
), and
Stanley Stephen
Jud and Nonie divorced in 1921. It was not amicable.
Our mother always told us the story of how Nonie searched for spiritual guidance following her divorce. She was probably raised as a Methodist, but I am not certain. She visited various churches and met with many clergymen, and felt most at home in the Catholic Church. Following her baptism into the faith in 1924, she became exceptionally devout. Her faith still guides our family to this day.
Nonie was working as a clerk at the Owl Pharmacy in downtown Los Angeles where she met our grandfather,
Enrique "Henry" De Lille
, who was working as the store manager. Nonie and Henry soon fell in love, and they were married at St. Martha's Parish in Huntington Park on February 18, 1924.
They were the beloved parents of three daughters,
Marjorie Antoinette
, and our mother,
A few stories come to mind when recalling our grandmother. At one time during the Depression, Nonie and her family lived above a small drugstore. Nonie bought a modest radio set and had made arrangements with the shopkeeper to pay for it in installments. When the store later went out of business, Nonie felt very guilty, because she felt as though she had stolen the radio. Her conscience was only cleared after she went to Confession. On another occasion, also during the Depression, Nonie's purse was stolen when she went to receive Communion at Mass. When asked about it later, she simply shrugged and said that somebody must have needed it more than she did. During World War II, Nonie was known to pass out Novenas to the boys her daughters dated.
Nonie's favorite songs were Beethoven's "Fur Elise", (for obvious reasons), and "Ah, Sweet Mystery of Life" by Jeanette McDonald and Nelson Eddy. She was quite enthralled with the new medium of television, and watched just about everything that was available, but she especially liked the quiz shows of the day. Of course, she never missed Bishop Sheen's program, "Life Is Worth Living."
Nonie was probably not the easiest person to always understand or get along with, but it is clear she had a wonderful sense of humor, a deep love of family, and she was a fine example of what it means to live faithfully.

less appropriable by parents, and daughters leave their parental homes for marriage. On the other hand, education may allow parents to command higher bride prices. Many of these arguments are not amenable to empirical investigation. Still, the fact that the gender bias in education must be addressed in a collective rather than in an individual framework can hardly be disputed.
The third paper in this group, by Minquan Liu, focuses again on labour supply, in the context of rural communes in China. The design of rural institutions has a very important influence on labour allocation. This result has been well known since the early debates on collective farming. Liu examines the impact of the Chinese collective farm system on efficient labour allocation. He first reconsiders the well-known result that workers shirk while engaged in collective work. He shows that a slightly modified system (where workers are rewarded in terms of quantity of crops harvested, rather than on the basis of the task they perform) could overcome shirking and would pose few monitoring problems. Ibis system would also be able to mobilize additional labour from members for various forms of infrastructural investment, as it happened in the standard Chinese communes. The reformed system is called Baochan, after a type of commune that existed in the aftermath of the Great Leap Forward and in the early years of the last rural reform.
Overall, the papers collected in this volume show that labour markets have many complex facets. Policy reform and adjustment must strive to cope with such complexity. Existing wisdom on labour markets can be misleading, as many of the papers show. For instance, widespread employment pessimism is found to be unwarranted: economic growth can deliver both higher employment and, when labour surplus has been all but exhausted, higher wages. However, trade liberalization will not automatically lead to improved labour market conditions, unless supportive policies are also in place. In general, 'getting the prices right' is not a sufficient condition for escaping from low technology or poverty traps. For instance, it was shown that the gender bias in education can often be attributed to the household's rational behaviour and therefore requires explicit policy efforts in order to be overcome. Moreover, it was found that apparently inefficient institutions like collective farming are not necessarily inimical to individual incentives for work.
Taken together, these findings point to the fact that labour market policies, like all policies, must be based on sound theory and rigorous economic analysis. Simple-minded approaches to labour market reforms may not deliver their promises and in some circumstances can even be counter-productive.

If your lucky and shooting a Nikon previously, then stay with Nikon just because of the lens interchangeability. I have the Canon FTBn, for sale btw, but it uses the old mercury batteries and one would normally have the meter recalibrated if wanting to use the in-camera meter. Lenses are great and the camera body is highly regarded as extreme temperature capable. The KX might be worth a look only because you can get some extremely good SMC lenses for it at very reasonable prices.
Technically I guess, the Nikon FM does NOT have a lock up lever. But if you pull the little self timer the mirror goes up first, then a few seconds later the shutter cycles. I always used that for total hands off pics with my FM, FM2, FE, and FE-2 cameras.
Sounds like an Alpa 11 (11e, 11el, or 11si) . The only thing the battery is for is the meter, and a typical battery will last for 10+ years. Mirror lockup is a slide switch on the side of the camera lens mount, and the 11 series all have nice clear portions of the viewscreen that work well for astro photography.Quote:

I actually like this method because once the exposure it complete, the mirror returns ready for the next peek through the finder. I do most of my MLU photography with my M645 and that's a lever, and 99 times out of 100, I'll look thru the viewfinder and doh! the mirror's still up! :)Quote:

Carol. do you have some 2nd hand shops where you can go and handle some cameras to see what fits? What camera do you use at the moment, I forget :)
Dont forget the original F1, F1n and my favourite, the Canon EF. They all retain most capability with no batteries (other than meter and shutter speeds below 1/2 sec in the EF's case.) Lovely cameras all, built like tanks. The EF was unique among early Canon gear by the virtue of havng a Copal Square shutter and x synch of 1/125th.
If you want more modern cameras but are on a budget - Canon Elan II has a mirror pre-release (custom function 5 if I recall from my friend's cameras). You would have to go much older or into the single digit F's to get the feature with Nikon gear - all wonderful cameras, but not inexpensive. The Elan 7 has the same feature and is very much a development of the II - a little newer, a little more expensive used. The Elan II is the bargain among AF gear.
Just thought I'd add to the already extensive list,
Some of the older Practica's do not have an auto return mirror. If you pushed the shutter release partway down the mirror would go up but the shutter would not trip. Then by pushing the shutter release all the way down the shutter would trip.
Can't believe no has mentioned the Nikon F or F2 yet.

Darn it if I'd come back here first I would have read Bohica's post and checked what kind of batteries it uses. Mercury. Is this going to be a huge problem?
Mycroft - I note your t-mount reference. Yes I want to put it on a telescope as well hence the need for MLU for stability. Do you take astro-pics?
Nige - Unfortunately the only access I have to s/hand gear is by 'phone from a couple of shops in Adelaide. It's all rather hit and miss for me. I have a couple of Ricoh's which are fine. Just got the wants at the moment.
Thanks to everyone who took the time to help me out with suggestions. Much appreciated.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Grammy Awards 2014: Who'll Get Nominated Tonight?
Grammy Awards 2014: Who'll Get Nominated Tonight?
The 56th Annual Grammy Awards will go down January 26th in L.A., and the countdown to Music's Biggest Night begins this evening when the nominees are announced via a live special airing on CBS at 10 p.m. ET. Who's eligible for this year's honors? Albums and songs released between Ocrtober 1st, 2012 and September 30th, 2013. Who'll actually get nominated? Here's our best hunches:
Check out 10 classic Grammy performances
Album of the Year
This is a tough one to predict. In the past decade they've passed it out to Herbie Hancock's jazz tribute to Joni Mitchell, River: The Joni Letters and the posthumous Ray Charles duets album Genius Loves Company. That said, the Academy has gotten a little cooler in recent years, giving the honor to Adele, Taylor Swift and Arcade Fire. Timberlake, Daft Punk, Taylor Swift and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis seem like locks, but it's very hard to say anything for sure. We're going out on a limb with Kendrick Lamar, but the album is amazing and much more palatable to the Grammys than Kanye West's Yeezus.
Justin Timberlake - The 20/20 Experience
Taylor Swift - Red
Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city
Daft Punk - Random Access Memories
Macklmore & Ryan Lewis - The Heist
Song of the Year
The separate awards for Song of the Year and Record of the Year have been confusing people for decades, but it's actually quite simple: Record of the Year goes to the singer and Song of the Year goes to the songwriter(s). This rarely goes to a song that wasn't a huge hit, and the we predict that Grammys won't be able to resist the improbable success story of Lorde, the message of tolerance in "Same Love," the instant hook of "Get Lucky," the swagger of Justin Timberlake's "Mirrors" or the smooth heartache of Bruno Mars' "When I Was Your Man."
Lorde – "Royals"
Bruno Mars – "When I Was Your Man"
Justin Timberlake – "Mirrors"
Daft Punk – "Get Lucky"
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – "Same Love"
Record of the Year
The greatest pop songs of 2013 took some serious risks, from Tegan and Sara embracing Eighties synth-pop full-force to Kanye West teaming up with Daft Punk for the industrial rager "Black Skinhead." Daft Punk, meanwhile, created the song of the year by looking back to '77, Lorde became pops new rebel with the spare, irresistible "Royals" and Justin Timberlake released a long, spaced-out epic single.
Daft Punk - "Get Lucky"
Tegan and Sara - "Closer"
Lorde - "Royals"
Justin Timberlake "Mirrors"
Kanye West - "Black Skinhead"
Best New Artist
If the record industry is really dying, the new faces of 2013 won't go down easily. They're a badass group that includes Jake Bugg, who made rockabilly simplicity cool again, Kacey Musgraves, who created a modern country classic and New Zealand teenager Lorde, who slammed hip-hop excess over hip-hop grooves. Kendrick Lamar made a modern-day hip-hop classic and Macklemore & Ryan Lewis scored a massive hip-hop LP that criticized consumerism and spoke out for gay rights.
Jake Bugg
Kacey Musgraves
Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Kendrick Lamar
Best Rock Album
This was one of rock's strongest years in ages, full of older acts finding new sounds: Arctic Monkeys reinvented themselves with glam and hip-hop beats, Vampire Weekend stared down adulthood with their most experimental songs yet and John Fogerty reinvigorated old hits alongside hardcore fans like the Foo Fighters and My Morning Jacket. Meanwhile, Queens of the Stone Age and Nine Inch Nails proved they're heavier (and darker) than ever.

Assassin's Creed II was also up there in the GOTY talk with 4 stars. One of the major advocates for the game was Ryan, who gave the game 4 stars. Giant Bomb doesn't focus as much on scores, this should be clear if you visit the site.
Yeah, I was pretty disappointed when they announced it wasn't New Super Mario Brothers Wii
It got 4 stars, And was easily my favorite Wii game this year

New Super Mario Bros. is awesome, not doubt about it. But it's also Mario, which it's safe to say everyone has played before. SH is something different, and makes pretty damn good use of the Wii. It may have it's problems but the fresh ideas really make it stand out.
" Only one person reviewed the game. The whole staff decides GOTY. "This^
And isn't it a different reviewer for each of those games?
Silent Hill - Brad
Wii sports - Jeff
Punch out - Ryan
That's of the top of my head though.
Not to say the others aren't games by any means or anything like that but if you look at the 4 dudes picking, to quote Ryan, "punch out is just someone reselling your child hood", which sort of rules that out, I think they were a little off put by Wii sports because they think it's the only game that's used the motion plus and it's doing what the first wii sports done but better, but with SH it tried some new stuff, and was more of a proper game with an objective and such.
I can see their logic, and for the most part I agree.
" @Ineedaname: Whatever, Silent Hill is another Silent Hill so it is disqualifies itself if they followed their own rules. We've officially thought about this for longer than they did. "Except it plays absolutely nothing like any Silent Hill game before it. I'm not sure where you're getting your argument from.
" @ez123: Well bar punch out and some multiplayer of other various games they all never seemed to play any others. "And this isn't limited to just Wii games. Most of them never got around to spending much time with Dragon Age, and Dave, who wasn't involved in the deliberations, was the one that reviewed the game.
" @Hailinel: If two people agree that a game is great, that's like..... twice as many. That's my point. "But Brad's argument for Silent Hill was enough to convince the others that it should be awarded Best Wii Game. The awards are not run as a democracy; it doesn't revolve around voting for whatever you think is best.
I'm actually glad they chose Silent Hill as their Wii GotY. I sold my Wii for a PS3 in '08, and Silent Hill has really been the only serious game I've seen that I didn't think could be done anywhere else.
Scores in this also don't really matter. Scores judge the quality of a game, but a Game of the Year award goes to the game that had the most impact on the journalist, and gaming itself.
The review score descriptions are too focused on the fulfilment of potential, rather than rewarding ambition and innovation, which is how you end up with a straight Punch-Out remake scoring 5 stars in 2009.
Disregarding scores for GOTY discussion is still the right way to go. Gamespot actually gave their GOTY award to Demon's Souls (9.0) over Uncharted 2 (9.5), so this isn't an isolated case.
Regarding the amount of time spent with games, like one person said, the game of the year isn't a democracy. Also, you can be aware of how good a game without playing it. Everyone was aware of the different aspects of each game, and therefore was aware of how good each game was. Also, abut the original question, wii sports resort and punch out are very good at what they do, and were given five stars for being plain fun. It seems as though silent hill a better crafted, more technically proficient game that surpasses expectations for wii games while taking advantage of the system's motion control well.
...And that's all
I dunno, if just hearing the twist was enough to cause the other three to pull out of their arguments and say that that alone is cooler and more impactful then what game I want to be on the list is without them even needing to play it, it says something about the game itself.
After reading the story of Silent Hill: Shattered Memories...as well as researching a lot of the different outcomes that the game has in it...I don't see how any other Wii game could've been given the award. I also think that Adam Sessler needs to choke on a dick for his review of the game.
The game is obviously greater than the sum of its parts, and one that is judged against a higher standard in the genre it is categorized than the other two. Wii Resort is a 5-star sports compilation on the wii, Shattered Memories has a few bugs that were left in the game that took some people out of the experience. However, looked at side by side, Shattered memories was the better game. I'm pretty sure Brad didn't rate the game against Wii Sports Resort, he rated it against what he felt the potential of the game was, in relation to the Wii game catalogue and genre it occupied. In the end, like I said from the beginning, it happened to be more than the sum of its parts.

" Disscuss "No.
I've put in about 87 hours into Wii Sports Resort, but Silent Hill: Shattered Memories story telling was some of the best I've seen in a while for a video game. As soon as I finished the game, I was compelled to start it again. I'm sure when it's all said and done I'll probably play through it 3 or 4 times. That's a pretty big deal for me, because I'm usually a one run and done kind of gamer.
I had planned on getting the game a while ago, way before Brad's review and the Wii GotY award. I wasn't disappointed. Having only played Silent Hill and Silent Hill 2 and then leaving the series, I found it a nice reboot or an alternate Silent Hill reality. It's my favorite Wii game this year, that's for sure.
The game has some glaring flaws, that much is true, but what it does well it does so well that it definitely deserves GotY for the Wii.

Couldn't have missed the point of the game harder even if he tried.

The SXSW Denver Kiteup – sponsored by Brightkite and Flying Dog Brewery
Monday March 16th from 7-9 PM
Blake Street Tavern, 24th and Blake St., Denver
Coming? RSVP here!
The South By Southwest (SXSW) festival in Austin is another one of those week-long events (and by week-long, I mean ten days) in Austin, Texas. The first part of the week is the Interactive portion of the festival, where new technology is highlighted (this is where Twitter started gaining super-stardom two years ago). The second part of SXSW is an INSANE music festival that happens in (what seems like) every bar in town (thousands of bands and fans flock to Austin for this). There's also a film festival that goes the entire ten days. If you don't have plans to go by now, you're probably screwed. But there's a silver lining here, for those of you who aren't going.
Brightkite is a location-based social network that enables you meet people based on the places you go. Brightkite interfaces with some of the other social networking sites you know and love, like Twitter, Facebook, and Flickr. Go sign up at their site and take a test drive (try out the iPhone app, too). Once you're there, add Flying Dog as a friend.
Suffice it to say that Brightkite is a pretty big deal, and they're getting bigger by the day. They're having a party in Austin next Monday, and apparently a few thousand people have RSVPed. For those of you in Denver who aren't going to Austin, Brightkite and Flying Dog Brewery are bringing a little bit of SXSW to you.
Since we can't be in Austin next week (the life of a beer baron keeps us busy here), we're going to have a little party in Denver that coincides with the Brightkite party in Austin. We'll have some developers from Brightkite and also some Flying Dog employees on hand to hang out with. We'll be around to answer your questions, but more importantly, we'll be here to talk about beer and tech.
See you Monday! If you can't make it, we'll be monitoring our twitter and brightkite accounts to have some conversations with you, long distance.
Same great beer but the case gets a facelift. Bottled today & this case is the first out of the brewery.
Chris is a terrific bartender. Rodney's is booming. Great space, daily very affordable specials, wonderful people. Check it out. Fish-n-chips crispy and a Doggie Style for lunch today.
Matt, Angela, Nicole, Heather, Kristin! Thanks, everyone!!
Flying Dog Founder and Owner, George Stranahan has recently updated his website and phlog (photo blog). On his new site, he includes a bunch of stories and press clippings from the early days of Flying Dog.
It's a must read for anyone who's ever wondered how this crazy brewery got its start. Click here or the photo below to read some of George's tales. Be sure to scroll about halfway down the page for the really juicy stuff.
Thanks, George.
We're proud to announce that Flying Dog Brewery was voted "Best East Coast Craft Brewery" on TheFullPint.com!
A special thanks to everyone who voted. There are truly dozens of great craft breweries on the East Coast and we are extremely honored to have such loyal support from the Craft Beer Community.

If this was supposed to be a joke, sure fun it ain't. Novars are EXCELLENT lenses, which compare to Tessars IMHO and IHO of many other posters here, as well expanded in the suggested parallel thread.Quote:

Jump down the newbies throat why don't you!
I have experienced six Zeiss camera's putting many a roll of film through them. That doesn't make me an expert but I think that justifies an opinion. The lenses are okay but the sun dosen't shine out of their apatures. As with the Holga they have character which could be what you want, just dont expect the same as a modern day MF. At the same time, I am using a Zeiss MF as my main camera which has a Tessar lens and I think it is fantastic. What I was trying to put across before you tried to choke me is dont expect too much. Geeze, you really know how to welcome people don't you? I'll go away now and cry in the corner after being shot down.
See, you pushed a delicate button. Ikontas are being collected very intensively recently, and that raised the price of Tessar units (explicitly those on Synchro Compur) to the stars. There's nothing bad in the collecting thing itself of course, but for some reason I hate with all heart seeing these cameras go into some rich businessman's shrine rather than in some young unemployed photographer's hands.
That said, Novar Aanstigmat units are much less sought after, and they are an extremely valid and cheap alternative for beginners. P. Cancarini Ghisetti and D. Cecchi in their book "Fotocamere ed obiettivi Zeiss" supposedly attribute their production to Schneider-Kreuznach under license, which speaks for itself about quality. Which I can personally confirm, and I'm very sorry if you had such bad luck to meet only bad units on your road. If you bought six and none was good, man, you should really try some wodoo.
The Holga is a cute little camera with a lot of legacy, and of course the expected performance of lenses dated 60 years can't be the same of current optics. But don't you think that stating that a Novar Anstigmat Super Ikonta shares the same quality of a Holga may put a beginner who wants to keep it cheap and asking for advice on a wrong track?
Okay yeah you are right on the newbe looking at my join date. But look at the posts, all of which are recent so yeah I joined and never posted/lurked.
The Holga, bit in recollection was a bit strong, you will get a useable image just a little different to what most might expect, non coated lenses, etc. What was meant is these lenses do have a character i.e. the colour and contrast similar to the Holga, scan06 was on a Holga. The inkfet image on my site was taken with a Zeiss 6x9 with Novar lens. Scan03 was with a Tessar, gives you an idea of differences.
I chose an Ikonta because I wanted to get back into MF and they folded to a compact size. The 534/16 is a beutiful piece of kit and it is loosening up the more I use it. But they are old camera's and they are collectables so you will pay top price for a good working example. If you got time though buy a well used tatty looking one and get it cleaned up, then you will have a camera for life.
I've kind of decided that, since I recently decided to pick up a 35mm only film scanner, I'm not going to get a MF rangefinder yet. At the moment I'm looking at camera bodies with TTL metering and an LTM mount. Heh. Leica. Oh boy.
Leica's NOW you are talking collectibles, beutifully made and yes I do have an M6 which I used a lot for street photography. Images are sharp on these although you are restricted to the size of neg. I personally prefer MF because it is easier to print and scan, it also has a better tonal range. 35mm is convenient though and you wont be disappointed with the camera.

A few gears on the drive train, and two plus neutral on the threshing bar, would make for a fairly capable little vehicle.

Belts would make for an easier change/removal of the string-trimmer threshing bar, if you wanted to use it for cargo, or devised some other useful attachment like a flail mower.

Looking for holiday inspiration? Our Advent and Christmas devotionals are here.
In this chapter the apostle threatens to be severe against obstinate sinners, and assigns the reason thereof (2 Cor. 13:1-6); then he makes a suitable prayer to God on the behalf of the Corinthians, with the reasons inducing him thereto (2 Cor. 13:7-10), and concludes his epistle with a valediction and a benediction, 2 Cor. 13:11-14.

This persuasive, elegantly written book argues that understanding evolution has never mattered more in human history. The author uses evidence from archaeology, geography, anatomy, biochemistry, radiometric dating, cell biology, chromosomes, and DNA to establish the inescapable conclusion that we evolved and are still evolving. He also explains in detail how health, food production, and human impact on the environment are dependent on our knowledge of evolution. This is essential reading for gaining a fuller appreciation of who we are, our place in the great expanse of life, and the importance of our actions.
Praise For…
"With so many excellent books on evolution available, it's hard to imagine another one with anything new in it. Fairbanks succeeds with a whole array of original examples that demonstrate not only the truth of evolution, but also its impact on human life and society."
-Victor J. Stenger New York Times bestselling author of God and the Folly of Faith: The Incompatibility of Science and Religion
"This book provides a compact overview of the results of many lines of research, especially in genetics, which continue to deepen our knowledge of evolution. Anyone who wonders about the practical value and importance of understanding the processes of evolution will benefit from reading it."
-Eric Meikle, National Center for Science Education
"This is an important book. Fairbanks presents an overwhelming case for the correctness of evolutionary theory. It is engagingly written, with many personal glimpses, and the technical material is clearly presented and understandable. Evolving should be essential reading for anyone who wishes to be an informed citizen."
-Allan Franklin, Professor of physics, University of Colorado, and coauthor of Ending the Mendel-Fisher Controversy

November 30, 2015
Dorm rooms have probably never been cleaner. That's because parents have invaded the campus at Texas A&M.
It's the University's parents' weekend.
Thousands of college kids and their moms and dads filled their plates and their stomachs at the annual Bevo Burn Barbeque.
The school has activities planned for the entire weekend, but at least one parent's favorite was Friday night's midnight yell class. Father Hayward Sparks even demonstrated some moves he learned.
Parents weekend wraps up Sunday with student awards and performances by the freshmen drill team, the Ross Volunteers, and the Corps of Cadets.
