The lenses are approximately the same size, yes? That makes it a mechanical issue, not an optical one. That was my main point. The central shutter takes up space, and the physical size of a fast MF lens with a central shutter would be unwieldy. It's got nothing to do with the optics.
It is a mechanical issue which puts a constraint on the optical design. You can't increase the lens aperture without taking into account the iris max diameter. No similar trouble with a focal plane shutter, you can do whatever you want, the only limitation being the bayonet diameter.

They seemed to suffer from bad meters tho.

I have three Miranda Autosensorex EEs. Two are chrome and one is black. My Miranda and Soligor lenses include 28, 35, 50, 135, 200 and 80-200. The EE is the camera I nearly bought in 1971. I was intrigued by the removable finder. It was a big decision for someone so young but I decided on a Konica Autoreflex T2 with the 57/1.4 silver and black Hexanon with the EE lock pin. By now in my years of collecting I have many of the other cameras which were sold in 1971: Canon FTb, Minolta SRT-101, Pentax Spotmatic II, Nikkormat FTN, Nikon F2, Canon F-1. The Miranda EE has a fairly dim viewfinder and its overall finish is not up to the level of the other cameras I mentioned. It is capable of good results for someone who has the patience to use it. The lenses are decent. I have both f/1.8 an f/1.4 standard lenses. These are probably better than the other focal length lenses. When I figure out what waist level finder fits the EEs I will get one. I would also like to find a nice EE2.
From observation of my KM and K1000 the metering is indeed a bit confused, but I think it's due to the film speed selector rather than the meter proper. The KM was spot on when I squirted a bit of lighter fuel in there but went bad again as it evaporated, making me think that it's dirt or poor contact. I've also had MXs (same design) where the meter reads wildly at the slowest shutter speeds - presumably as these are so seldom used that dirt builds up at the end of the normally-used conductive track.
The KX uses a completely different setup with the film speed dial under the rewind crank, like the other M series bodies, Super A, Program A, A3000, etc. While I've had an ME Super which consistently overexposed by two stops (squirt of alcohol-based cleaner, turned the control a bit, problem solved) it seems less common for this design to pick up gunge.

Oh I do agree with you there. Engineering simplicity, wide tolerances and the wonderfully forgiving latitude of color and black & white negative film.
Yes, Pioneer, Pentax (and Minolta) made things to really last. And they also made their lenses easy to deconstruct and clean and repair.
Canon, on the other hand, was kind of unduly complex, engineering-wise, and more things could go wrong. But I an not knocking Canon: they are amongst the best, but, simply, have not reduced their products to the 'lowest possible denominator' without sacrifice to quality. Their FD mount is a nightmare to take apart and put back together again. And there is really no reason for that overkill. - David Lyga

I have the same camera. Works okay, but depending on where you set the meter (which is non-functional in mine) it will lock you out of the higher/lower shutter speeds unless you trip a hard-to-press button. It's also very clunky to hold. I can't speak much to the rest of it, as mine is a flea-market buy.

My first 35mm SLR was a Praktica LTL. It never faltered, even after bouncing off a sidewalk, a spill which took a chunk off the bottom cover. It still works, although the lens diaphragm is sluggish. Leaf shutter SLRs a different matter. I have a Komaflex S 127 SLR which needs work, the diaphragm doesn't close. Estimates are in the $200 range, hardly feasible for a camera which, while pleasant, doesn't warrant that kind of money since 127 film is almost extinct.
A "bad" camera. I was given a Canon T50. This little beast is fully automatic exposure, all the user can select is film speed and selftimer. There is an underexposure warning in the VF, which by the way is pretty good. The interchangeable lens is a 50mm f1.8 seems pretty good. Now, get this. From all I can tell the ONLY flash compatible with it is a wimpy 2 AA unit, the 244T, offering automated use for ... ISO 100 and 400 films only! The camera, by contrast, can set ISO 25 to 1600. What was Canon thinking....
Now, this may be a reliable machine. I've run a roll of BW through it and it gave good results. But it is a dead end, unlike the Pentax K-1000 or any number of other, basic cameras, including...the Praktica LTL.
I think Petri may be worse of the lot. Petri etween propriety mount and M42, I have nopt seen an example of an 35 SLR in good working order in years. Lens seem to be ok. Petri range finders seem to be more robust and with decent optics.
I know I'll take some heat for this but, the very first generation Minolta Maxxum cameras. I know, they were the first effective auto-focus cameras. But the ergonomics suck, and the autofocus is LOUD and not particularly fast or precise. Same with the mirror operation. Eventually it does lock in, but it hunts a lot in anything other than bright sunshine. Today there are much better options for a beginner.

After staking out a hard line against the government awarding contracts to itself, cooler heads seem to be prevailing on Capitol Hill. The Senate and the House are crafting bills that would make it easier for the private sector to compete with the government on contracts, without stripping the government of its many responsibilities.
The hot debate over public/private competition exploded on the Washington scene last year when the Federal Aviation Administration awarded a $250 million data processing services contract to the Agriculture Department. The Office of Management and Budget allows such awards when they are based on price, a policy that obviously saves the taxpayers money. But vendors argue that the government has an unfair competitive advantage because agencies do not have to account for overhead costs, pay taxes or please shareholders with profits.
The FAA award revived interest in the Freedom From Government Competition Act, which would have required government to outsource all functions that were deemed not to be a core government responsibility. Government workers, understandably, found the bill offensive. The new bills Congress is crafting reportedly step back from the radical FGCA.
Although few details of the bills' language are known, we welcome Congress revisiting this difficult and all too important issue.
Any compromise that would retain the government's right to compete for contracts—- without impeding its ability to perform its core mission—- while keeping the competition as fair as possible is a worthy cause.
After all, the primary goal here is to give taxpayers the best service at the lowest cost. And if that means a government agency providing the service, so be it.

County considers immigration checks
Prince William County officials are considering whether a proposal to deny county services for illegal aliens would cost too much or subject the county to lawsuits.
Supervisor John Stirrup, a Republican, proposed the idea last week. It would require the county to check the immigration status of all residents before providing services.
He said it should cost very little to enforce and would stand up to a legal challenge.
But some members of the Board of County Supervisors said such a measure could bring trouble. Supervisor John Jenkins, a Democrat, said the proposal would violate state laws.
Police say woman drove drunk with child
Police have charged a woman with drunken driving and child abuse after they said she was intoxicated with her 4-year-old daughter in the car.
Police served a criminal summons upon Sarah Christina Fiorenza, 32, of Easton, last week regarding a June 13 incident when officers responding to a report of a reckless driver found Miss Fiorenza slumped over in her vehicle.
Miss Fiorenza was taken to Easton Memorial Hospital with minor injuries, and police learned that she was intoxicated.
Miss Fiorenza is charged with second-degree child abuse, driving while under the influence, reckless driving, negligent driving and other alcohol and driving charges.
Swimmer drowned after disappearing
A Virginia man drowned while swimming with friends in Garrett County on Saturday.
Police said Alvin Louis Garner, 43, of Norfolk, disappeared about 4:15 p.m. while swimming with three friends below Swallow Falls on the Youghiogheny River.
Authorities were contacted about 5:15 p.m., and divers found Mr. Garner's body just after 9 p.m.
A preliminary investigation has ruled Mr. Garner's death accidental.
Humane Society puts down 40 dogs
Wicomico County Humane Society officials said they euthanized 40 dogs sick with canine distemper virus.
Executive Director Linda Lugo said they received the test results late Thursday afternoon. She said they consulted with a veterinarian about their options and euthanized 40 dogs Saturday morning.
The facility was closed after a recently adopted 8-week-old puppy died June 16. Other dogs were also showing signs of illness.
The shelter remained closed while the Humane Society waited for tests to find the cause.
Canine distemper is a virus usually spread through the air and bodily fluids. The prognosis for dogs who get the virus is poor.
Crew rescues man who jumped from ship
A Rockville man was rescued early yesterday from the ocean off Florida after he jumped from a cruise ship while apparently drunk, officials said.
The Carnival Liberty alerted the Coast Guard about 11:35 p.m. Sunday that Scott Durrin, 29, possibly had jumped overboard, authorities said.
Mr. Durrin and three friends had been drinking when he decided to get into one of the ship's lifeboats, FBI spokeswoman Judy Orihuela said. "He took the ax and was struggling to cut the ropes," she said.
When a security officer tried to get him out of the raft, Mr. Durrin jumped into the water, she said.
Mr. Durrin fell about 35 feet into the water about 50 miles off the coast of Boca Raton. Crew aboard the Liberty threw life rings and jackets over the side. Coast Guard crews located him about an hour later.
He was being examined at a Miami hospital, according to a statement from the Miami-based cruise line. No additional details about his condition or whether he would be charged were available.
The Liberty had departed Sunday afternoon from Fort Lauderdale on a six-day voyage.
Anonymous call leads to body in trash can
Homicide detectives found a decomposing body in a trash bag in a garbage can behind an East Baltimore row house Sunday, Baltimore police said.
Detective Donny Moses said an anonymous call to police just before 7 p.m. Sunday reported a body in a trash can at a house in the 1500 block of Bond Street.
Police are treating the death as suspicious.
No criminal charges in toddler's death
Baltimore police said they do not plan to file criminal charges against the drivers involved in a crash that led to the death of a 3-year-old boy, who was on his way to a nearby pool.
But Detective Donny Moses said Takia Freeman and Scott Gillard could be cited for traffic violations.
The crash occurred about 3:30 p.m. Saturday at the intersection of Lanvale Street and Fulton Avenue. Detective Moses said the cars crashed as one tried to make a U-turn.
The boy, Charles Murrell, and two adults were standing on a corner at the intersection, and they were hit by the cars after they collided.
The boy was pronounced dead at the scene.
Police said the two adults were treated at the University of Maryland Medical Center for injuries that were not life-threatening.
Gilman headmaster resigns over resume
The headmaster of a private, all-boys school resigned last week after a school evaluation uncovered false claims that he made about his membership on a hockey team decades ago, school officials said.
Jon McGill, who was hired as the 12th headmaster of Gilman School in July 2001, resigned after the false claims came to light, according to statements Friday by Mr. McGill and the school's board of trustees.
"It came to light that there were misrepresentations on his resume and in his early discussions with Gilman having to do with intercollegiate athletic participation," the president of the board, Charles Fenwick Jr., wrote on the school's Web site.
Mr. McGill apologized for the mistake and said he had "no one else to blame but myself for the error of putting it there in the first place more than 30 years ago."
Before coming to Gilman, Mr. McGill was associate headmaster of the Polytechnic Preparatory Day School in Brooklyn, N.Y. He has a bachelor's degree with honors in history and English literature and a master's in history from the University of Waterloo in Canada. He also has a master's in urban education from the University of London.
Gilman's previous head-master, Archibald Montgomery IV, resigned in March 2000.
Driver charged in deadly crash
A 15-year-old Emmitsburg girl was struck by a drunken driver early Saturday while walking along state Route 140 in Frederick County, state police said.
Police said Cindi Burns of Fairfield, Pa., was driving a 2003 Jeep Liberty near Mountain View Road when the vehicle struck the girl.
The girl was taken to Washington County Hospital and treated for head trauma.
Police said Miss Burns was charged with driving under the influence.
Woman fights, kills would-be robber
A woman fatally shot and stabbed an armed man who forced his way into her Hagerstown apartment looking for drugs and money, police said.
Carri Humphrey, 22, told police that she thought she recognized a tenant in her apartment building when he knocked on her apartment door about 3:30 a.m. Sunday. When she opened the door, two men pushed into the apartment, including one who carried a rifle and covered his face with a red bandanna.
Miss Humphrey told police that one of the men began punching her in the face and head, and she shouted to her roommate Michelle Reeder, 24, to get a handgun.
Miss Reeder ran into another room with the handgun, took cover behind a couch and tried to fire a warning shot, according to the police account. But the safety was on, and the gun did not fire. As the man charged her, Miss Reeder then fired several shots, striking him in the upper torso.
Miss Reeder and the intruder struggled, falling into the bedroom, police said, until she stabbed the man in the back with a knife Miss Humphrey got from the kitchen. The two women then fled to a neighbor's apartment and called police.
Officers found James Michael Conely, 32, of Hagerstown, dead in a bedroom of the women's apartment. Michael John Watkins, 21, was arrested as he walked nearby, based on the women's description. He has been charged with several counts of burglary, attempted armed robbery, and theft. Police said Mr. Watkins told them that they were looking for drugs and money.
The women were treated Sunday at Washington County Hospital and released, police said.
Girl, 13, fatally shot in ice cream truck
The Charles County sheriff has identified a suspect in the killing of a 13-year-old girl who was shot during a robbery of a family ice cream truck Friday night.
Police are looking for Kevin Mark Warren of Waldorf on charges of first-degree murder.
Investigators think he is the person who fired shots at the ice cream truck, striking Briona Jasmine Porter in the back. She was rushed to Children's Hospital in the District, where she died.
The sheriff's office said Briona was with her mother and her aunt in the ice cream truck about 11:30 p.m. when a man approached with a gun and announced the robbery.
Briona's mother, Charlene Woodland, said she told the man they were just testing the truck and had no cash. When she started to drive away, the man fired several shots into the truck.
5 men accused of smuggling cash
Five Guatemalan men have been indicted on charges of smuggling cash and trying to launder drug money.
Walter Yovani Velasquez-Solis, Hugo Rene Aldana-Portilla, Rony Raul Rosas-Velasquez, Virgilio Arnoldo Galvez-Del Cid and Jorge Alejandro Anderson were indicted by a federal grand jury. They were arrested Friday at Washington Dulles Internation-al Airport after arriving on a flight from Guatemala.
Authorities said the men took nearly $800,000 in cash out of the country hidden in luggage or merchandise.
Mr. Velasquez-Solis is also charged with operating an unlicensed money-remitting business in Hyattsville and failing to file currency-transaction reports on more than $600,000 that authorities thought were drug proceeds.

Vivre sa vie was a turning point for Jean-Luc Godard and remains one of his most dynamic films, combining brilliant visual design with a tragic character study. The lovely Anna Karina, Godard's greatest muse, plays Nana, a young Parisian who aspires to be an actress but instead ends up a prostitute; her downward spiral is depicted in a series of discrete tableaux of daydreams and dances. Featuring some of Karina and Godard's most iconic moments—from her movie theater vigil with The Passion of Joan of Arc to her seductive pool-hall strut—Vivre sa vie is a landmark of the French New Wave that still surprises at every turn.
Jean-Luc Godard and the French New Wave were at the height of their power and creativity when Godard released Vivre Sa Vie (Living Her Life) in 1962. And watching it again, years later, instantly transports one to the era where an offhand remark, a lazy circle of cigarette smoke, a sidelong glance, a disaffected "I don't care about you" could all communicate deep, conflicted longing, alienation, postwar malaise, and infinite possibility. In fact, watching Vivre Sa Vie, starring Godard's lovely muse, Anna Karina, is at once both enervating--and exhilarating. The film is subtitled Film en Douze Tableaux, and the story shows Karina as Nana in 12 different short films, snapshots of her lonely, seemingly aimless life--in scenes that stay with the viewer for days afterward. In the very first tableau, Nana and a former lover, Paul (André S. Labarthe), are having a sad, disjointed conversation in a café--are they breaking up? Getting back together? The pain and power of the scene lies in its ambiguousness. And Godard and his brilliant cinematographer, Raoul Coutard, shoot this initial scene, of the most intimate conversation between two lovers, entirely from behind them. The sad, longing remarks, barbs, halfhearted entreaties--they are all communicated while the viewer looks just at the back of Karina's sleek black bob and Labarthe's scruffy hair. Only near the end of that scene, as the viewer is practically craning forward to connect to the characters, do we get a glimpse of half of a cheek, one eyebrow. And from this moment, Godard and the cast have the viewer enthralled. In a later tableau, we watch long, uninterrupted scenes of The Passion of Joan of Arc--in itself a treat--and the supposedly disaffected heroine Nana weeping rivers of tears, silently, in the theater. There are many layers to this lovely young woman, and each of the 12 snapshots of her life reveals more. Nana's life becomes a tragedy, as she descends into prostitution--yet along the way, her luminescence is revealed in small ways. In one scene, she recalls a writing exercise from when she was a child. "Birds are creatures with an outside, and an inside," she recites. "When you remove the outside, you see the inside. When you remove the inside, you see the soul." The shattering beauty of Vivre Sa Vie is that Godard and Karina allow us to see the outside, then the inside, and then finally, the soul. The Criterion Collection edition offers true cinema riches, especially in an interview with Karina from 1962, several modern commentaries putting Godard and the film in its historical context, reportage from early-'60s France on the dire situation of prostitutes at the time, a booklet of film criticism, and much more. --A.T. Hurley

The Art Of Kissing....I did not write this but I like it... Make sure your lips aren't dry - moistening them (but not too much) makes it easier for your lips to slide over your partner's. Use colorless, stick lip balm for best results. Squeezable balm will work too but use in moderation. You don't...

(By Rich Bieglmeier) It is estimated that there is more than $4.5 trillion in 401 (K) accounts. More than 75 million Americans use the 401 (k) as a primary savings tool for retirement. While many investors have been putting dollars away for years, the number of choices intimidates many into inaction. (I cannot tell you how many friends and family members have brought me their 401 (k) statements and asked me how to divvy up the money.)
A paper titled ETF PORTFOLIO REBALANCING FOR RETAIL INVESTORS points to research by the Investment Company Institute that shows "a majority 401 (k) participants did not actively manage their plan assets after making initial investment decisions. This phenomenon is well known in behavioral economics and can be characterized as a status quo bias."
[Related -Savings Glut and Financial Imbalances]
The status quo bias actually increases the portfolio's risk unbeknownst to 401 (k) investors. According to the paper's author, Teimuraz Vashakmadze, a simple rebalancing approach using two ETFs could help improve returns while reducing risk. The exchange-traded-funds include SPDR S&P 500 (SPY) and iShares Barclays 1-3 Year Treasury Bond (SHY).
SPY seeks to provide investment results that, before expenses, generally correspond to the price and yield performance of the S&P 500 Index. SHY seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance, before fees and expenses, of the Barclays U.S. 1-3 Year Treasury Bond Index. While your 401 (k) may not offer SPY or SHY, most will have a mutual fund equivalent.
Vashakmadze constructed three hypothetical portfolios as follows:
[Related -A Dividend Aristocrat Is Now On Sale]
a. 75% equities and 25% bonds.
b. 50% equities and 50% bonds.
c. 25% equities and 75% bonds.
And then back-tested results by rebalancing the portfolios on a quarterly, semi-annual, and annual basis. Rebalancing, for the purposes of the study, is defined as resetting the portfolio mix back to the original percentages. For example, if portfolio a's mix becomes 80% equities and 20% bonds over any of the rebalancing timeframes, investors would sell enough SPY to reset its percentage to 75% and use the proceeds to get SHY to 25%. – make sense?
ETF PORTFOLIO REBALANCING FOR RETAIL INVESTORS found that yearly rebalancing paid off the best, portfolio a generated the highest returns, and portfolio b the best risk-to-reward ratio.
From 12/31/2002 to 12/31/2011, portfolio a – rebalanced annually – generated a cumulative return of 65.15% with a standard deviation of 11.04%. Portfolio b returned 55.86%, and its standard deviation of 7.13% is a little more than half the risk of port a. Finally, portfolio c delivered 43.40% with a tiny standard deviation of 3.46%. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 gained 42.9% in the same timeframe with a historical standard deviation close to 20%.
FYI – standard deviation is how much an investment deviates from its expected, normal returns. For example, ABC Corporation averages 10% annual return with a standard deviation of 8%. As a general rule of thumb, in 67% of the cases ABC will return 2% to 18% (10-8 and 10+8). Ninety-five percent of the time, ABC will provide returns in the range of -6% to 26%, or two standard deviations. We hope that makes sense.
If your 401 (k) suffers from status quo bias, you might consider simplifying things a bit by following the SPY/SHY portfolio that best fits your risk tolerance. The only maintenance required is one trade a year. With the January 1 just a few short weeks away, it could be a New Year's resolution you can actually achieve, and pay off nicely in retirement.

About this Hair Loss Protocol Program
June 23rd, 2015Brick
For some of us, due to lack of time and money cannot go to the gym on a regular basis, however, if you have a barbell and a pair of dumbbells, you can carry out intense workout which will help you develop proper muscle growth and strength of any other regular athlete. By investing $200-300 dollars, you can achieve a great body which every man desires.
Investing once can save you hundreds of dollars of subscriptions every month instead of attending the gym. You can get fit with home workout. The following exercises will help you to grow your muscles from torso to lower body. Lifting barbells require more power and strength than lifting dumbbells therefore, on a regular basis will provide you more strength and power. Here is their homepage for supp chit chat. Over the time, your muscles in the upper body section will gain more mass making you look bigger and wider as well as powerful and strong.
Lay flat on your back against the ground while holding the barbell above. You can get the insanity review at WL. Slowly bring your arms down up to your chest and hold there for 3 seconds before you lift your arms again. This will give a drastic development of chest muscles, within a few weeks, the transformation in you will be noticed by everyone from your friends, catching a lot of attention from attractive ladies looking for a potential mate.
Barbell squats will also greatly develop your calf and thigh muscles. Adding weights atleast 5 kilograms hold the barbell above your head and gently sit down keeping your legs slightly apart. Know about the benefit of home workout. Give at least, 20- 25 squats every day which will develop the muscles on your shoulders and biceps as well as your chest. Apart from the upper body muscles, squats will also develop your lower body muscles. You cna read more about this technique at realfitnesstalk.

More can be read at the t25 review from fitness chronicles.
Surgery is quite a common word to all. In fact it is a very common word in everyone's life. Almost everyone has a surgery even it is major or minor in his or her life. Sometimes people are so unlucky that they have to get a surgery before understanding anything. I meant the before understanding phase as the period before maturity. But some surgeries are difficult to operate for the doctors even. Read more »
I always had a dream to be footballer in any team on the National Football League.This is the story of my becoming the man of my dream with the help of supplements for my body. The body had to be transformed for taking all the pressures of the footballer I want to be. The way it went wasn't even dreamt of by me. I never dreamt I would reach that goal. You can take the supplements for muscle building reviews. For more info you should visit diet pill chit chat. I was very insecure with my body as I was very skinny from my childhoods and didn't have any strength in the muscles. I was a very typical dreamer who will not reach his dreamland anytime soon and will keep failing shaming himself and no one else.
There were times even I believed that I cannot do anything and had given up on the dream.
Then a friend showed me on the net sending me a link to a website that I can grow muscle and energize my body with muscle supplement without any side-effects and that was too good to be true and I didn't believe it a word.
I was depressed as I was seeing that my dream was getting crushed by stupid body of mine. And one night I even dreamt a bad dream about football that I was dressed in football jersey and it was oversized for me and it hung on my body like I was coat hanger.
I was in the stadium and everyone was laughing at my broken dream. I woke up crying and got more depressed than ever and called up my friend saying that I will try that supplement or something and told him to order one trial up and have it delivered to my house. I started using it as par the manual said and hoped for the results. A week went by with no result and I thought this was bogus and went down the lawn with my football and threw it as hard as I could on the ground. You should read a niTRo shREd review for the free trial to know more info.
The ball flung up about two stories before falling on the ground. That was strange. I couldn't throw it straight and make it go two stories horizontally let alone vertically with a deflection. So I got curious and went ahead to measure my weight. I was four kilograms higher than last measurement. That was very positive one but still not enough though I got my faith back on the product. The product seemed like a friend then.
In later two weeks I gained another fifteen pounds of weight. And my dream was looking closer and closer and I was very grateful to the product for its life changing effects. To take control of my body I was curious and exploring. I met up with the football coach in high school and wanted to enroll in the football training. I was always reading stuff about football in the free times and I knew quite a lot about it already. Just theoretical knowledge wasn't enough though. I needed a lot of practice to do and I found it easier as I knew a lot about it already. Go through the page to get a maximum shred review about the free trial. And from there I didn't have to look back. I practiced hard and kept my regular dosage of muscle supplements and kept on practicing for the betterment of my games. No I am playing for a major team in the NFL.

Ithaca College, in central New York State, offers comprehensive programs in television production, documentary studies, cinema, journalism and many related disciplines at the Roy H. Park School of Communications. Student-run ICTV, meanwhile, generates an ambitious and wide variety of programming ranging from news, documentaries and reality shows to football and basketball telecasts.
Now, with the opening of the college's new Athletics and Events Center — connected to the Roy H. Park School with 48 strands of single and multimode fiber — Ithaca College has upgraded its field-production capabilities with four Ikegami HDK-77EC full-digital multiformat HD CMOS camera systems, purchased through Audio Video, Syracuse, NY. As David Priester, director of technical operations for the Roy H. Park School explains, the new Ikegami cameras will improve ICTV's capabilities for providing superior HD and SD collegiate sports and special-event coverage, image magnification, and other high-profile remote-production applications.
Designed to meet the demands of an increasingly varied HD market needing both 1080i and 720p video-capture capability, Ikegami's HDK-77EC is an economical docking-style portable multiformat HD camera with CMOS imaging sensors for interlace and progressive format flexibility with reduced power consumption and lower operating temperature. The HDK-77EC can be used with Ikegami's CCU-890M camera control unit for built-in fiber (and optional triax) connectivity for convenient, lightweight, mobile flexibility.
Tripod-mounted and configured for studio and field use with Ikegami HLM-904 16:9 color LCD viewfinders, Ithaca College's four HDK-77EC cameras provide students with real-world experience on one of the industry's most advanced HD camera systems. The student-run ICTV unit produces hundreds of hours of programming each semester that is distributed through a local cable access channel to 26,000 households and streamed on the Internet. Other than a staff general manager and technicians, ICTV is virtually all student-run.

Or, Mr. Bush has another option: creating a bipartisan consensus around his vision to guard it against a change of party in the White House. This is perhaps as great a challenge to face him as anything beyond the shores of this country. There is currently a full-throated rebellion among Republicans on Capitol Hill, and the Democrats and other critics in both parties are lying in wait to outmaneuver the president on national security issues at every turn.
Yet, as an overarching guideline for where U.S. foreign policy should be moving in the years ahead, NSS 2006 sets a course that Americans can believe in. There is work ahead for the White House, though, in making the sale.

Destiny was updated earlier today with a significant patch that brings, among many other things, microtransactions into the game. Players will be able to meet Tess Everis to grab hold of some pretty cool emotes that are only available for a new in-game currency, Silver, that can be purchased through both the XBox Games Store or the Playstation Store.
Another interesting piece of the update will allow players to reroll exotic armor to alter stat boosts or perks and something called Twist Fate node that requires a Glass Needle from Xur .
As always, there are significant bug fixes and balance issues resolved, including a heavy reduction in shotgun range.
You can check out the full update notes on the Destiny site.

The overhauled starter experience for TERA players will be enhanced after today's release of The Lost Isle update. Players will begin on Stepstone Isle after completing a more robust character creation process and will be treated to an accelerated path to the main game. Along the way, a new story will be revealed prior to setting foot on the main world.
Another great addition to TERA's combat system is Gridiron Academy, a level 40-64 version of the level 65 Gridiron PvP battleground, complete with Vanguard quests and reputation rewards.
Returning players can take advantage of the "Returning Hero" tab on the Vanguard Requests screen, which helps level 58-65 characters that have not logged in for at least a month seamlessly re-engage with TERA via gear upgrades and walkthroughs of new features and essential skills.

Interested in beta testing the Western version of ELOA? If so, today's your lucky day as today marks the commencement of the first beta phase for the game. Players will be able to check out the Triple Battle Stance System, what Webzen calls the "core system of the game".
The "Triple Battle Stance System" [means] each class will have 3 battle stances to switch between in real time. Each battle stance has its own unique features for playing solo, in a party, and PvP. Based on this feature, players can enjoy a total of 24 skills per each battle stance as they please. Players can gain the advantage in battle by not only easily responding to constantly changing battle tactics, but also by customizing their own battle style and combos as freely as they want.
Check out the ELOA site to find out more about the beta and to get signed up.
It's been some time since before we had Dave Georgeson writing here on MMORPG.com. Turns out, he's been a bit busy, with any number of things! We caught up with the former leader of the EverQuest franchise to chat about his own gaming habits, current projects, EverQuest Next, and his time at SOE.

UPDATE: We have received word that a pair of companies each seeking to obtain licensing to bring updated / overhauled versions of Darkfall back to gamers worldwide. Ub3rgames' version is Darkfall: New Dawn. Big Picture Games will title their version Darkfall: Rise of Agon. At this writing, neither has managed to secure licensing, but both have reported progress in talks with current owner and developer Aventurine.
Thanks to Slapshot1188, we were have heard of a company calling itself Ub3rgames that is seeking to acquire the license to Darkfall Online, currently held by its original developer Aventurine. According to the "About Us" section, Ub3rgames, if successful in its acquisition, will relaunch the game under the name Darkfall: New Dawn.
Also working to secure licensing for Darkfall is Big Picture Games:
Our approach for this project is as a group of 10 professional developers with previous experience ranging from running multiplayer games, administrating MMO servers and developing large scale high demand infrastructure for businesses. This group formed in order to acquire and rerelease Darkfall Online in today's market.
We can now confidently begin the major planning and development work needed to successfully relaunch Darkfall, and we plan to secure an official licensing agreement in the coming weeks. Here's what this development means for everyone involved in this project:
- Over the next few weeks we'll start to finalize the staff, structure, and workflows of our internal teams.
- We'll begin preparations for a successful Kickstarter campaign which we plan to launch in the coming months.
- We'll begin the design and development process for an official website to inform the public about our project and unique vision for Darkfall.
- We'll also be working closely with our marketing team to begin introducing our talented team members to the public who will be a critical part of making this project a success.
Find out more about each project at the links above.
Miguel Caron, most recently working with Behaviour Interactive on Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade, has announced that he is now working with Carbine Studios to, among other things, work to find future projects that are in accordance with NCSoft's overall vision.
I work with the leadership team to support effective studio operations, develop effective protocols and business processes, and identify new and unique opportunities for future projects, which are in line with both the studio and NCSOFT's WEST business aims and vision.
The announcement was made via Mr. Caron's personal Facebook page.
At first, when I heard about the Wasteland 2: Director's Cut from inXile Entertainment, I thought it was just a clever branding trick to release the game on consoles. Then I played it, and quickly realized that it's the true definitive version of the crowdfunded RPG that rocked our socks off last year.

The World of Warships team is asking players to help test out German cruisers and Russian destroyers that have recently been added to the game. The test will take place from October 13th through October 19th beginning at 2:00 pm Pacific / 5:00 pm Eastern.
Interestingly, players will have to earn the ships to test through battle. To earn the German Tier V Cruiser, players will need to sink four enemy ships using a Japanese vessel tier IV or higher. To gain access to the Russian Tier V Destroyer, players will be required to sink four enemy ships while in command of an American vessel tier IV or higher.
Read more the the details, including further test period restrictions, on the World of Warships site.
This past week we had the chance to interview Brad McQuaid and Chris Perkins about the work on Pantheon: Rise of the Fallen. The game is really in great shape despite not making its Kickstarter, and recently secured the seed funding needed to make Pantheon a reality. MMO fans will have a lot to look forward to as the team has a playable solid core game, gotten its first round of funding, and hit solid internal milestones. Let's have the guys bring us up to date on the project and give you a few details you may not have heard.

The Guild Wars 2 site has been updated with a new blog post that proactively warns players of economic instability incoming with the Heart of Thorns expansion due in large part to several new systems put in place specifically for it.
Some of the new systems include salvaging that will potentially reduce output to keep scarcity in play as a major factor in the game's economy. Salvaging rebalance will also provide more rare materials that should, in theory, "even out some of the variation of scarcity we currently have."
Some rewards are being shifted away from dungeons into other pieces of content, while simultaneously giving players unique non-transferable rewards.
Read the full economy article on the Guild Wars 2 site.
A second article on the site deals with Legendary Weapons and how they will come into being during Heart of Thorns. After completing the precursor weapon and attaining the Gift of Maguuma Mastery, a Mystic Tribute and a unique gift that has a direct relation to the Legendary weapon, players will be sent on a secondary journey.
Guild Wars 2: Heart of Thorns heralds the beginning of the first new set of legendary weapons to be added to the game since its original set of twenty included in the launch of Guild Wars 2. The first three we'll release are a celestially themed axe called Astralaria, an experimental energy themed pistol called H.O.P.E., and a raven spirit themed staff called Nevermore. It takes a lot of work to craft these legendary journeys for release, so rather than take the time to develop the full set before releasing any of them, we will be releasing new legendary weapons in small groups at regular intervals until the full set of sixteen has been added to the game. Collections for the existing legendary weapons will be available on launch day, while the first three new legendaries will become available shortly after launch, alongside raids.

text: Aside from a few house keeping mishaps, we had a good stay at the hotel. We were visiting family and for our purposes (using Hilton Honors points) it was affordable and convenient. The house keeper left dirty rags on top of my cosmetic case once and even after we mentioned it, something similar happened the next day. Not such a big deal, but we didn't leave a tip for the housekeeping staff as we usually do. I like Hampton Inns in general because they use clean duvet covers on the beds instead of a bedspread. It is nice that the Columns Hotel is across the street (which sometimes has live music) and we liked Delachaise restaurant/bar as well.

Hey, I'm Dwnell!
I am still working full time as a project manager for a financial planned giving services firm in the bay area. This is my future retirement destination, but until then, to help supplement my income, I have decided to share a little corner of paradise and rent out my beach house in Spa Buena Vista. I have owned this home for 15 years now. It is cozy, comfortable and in one of the greatest locations if you are into fishing and relaxing at the beach enjoying the soft sea breeze of the Sea of Cortez. There is golfing available nearby as well. I LOVE to fish, golf, and relax with a good book in the sun. I enjoy cooking all types of food and spending time with friends and family. I love anything Italian (music, food, and I am learning the language for a future visit to Italy)...I have started my own boutique vineyard in San Jose, CA with my own Testa Family Crest as the label called TESTA VINEYARDS... It will take a couple more years before I can make my own blend with Cab, Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. It is a new passion which I just began in February 2013. Please contact me with any questions on the property and I will be more than happy to assist you.

The District Public Prosecutor's Office of Osaka dropped charges against 43-year-old anime technical director Masaki Kitamura on Friday. The television station TBS revealed on Monday that it received an October 10 email from a person who claimed to be the "real criminal" behind the virus that enabled massacre threats to be sent from other people's computers.
Officials released Kitamura on October 6 after determining that Kitamura's computer was infected by a virus that allowed a third party to remotely access his PC.
The authorities arrested Kitamura in August. They had accused him of going to Osaka's inquiry page on the Internet and writing, "I will commit a massacre in Otaroad [in Osaka's Nipponbashi area] next Sunday. I will ram into pedestrian paradise, and after stabbing indiscriminately with a knife, I will commit suicide" on July 29 at about 9:45 p.m.
