Pugwash

Not really. There's nothing wrong with a 2836 in a watch.

Oh, and some of my pics are taken with my Canon EOS 400D and a cheap 55-250mm lens. The one below was taken from a public area with my cheap kit before I got media passes for the events.

I've used an assortment over the years. All Canon DSLRs, though Usually, I rent or borrow a 5D MkII or a 7D and rent lenses according to the track. My favourite combo is a Canon 7D with a 70-300mm L-series lens, but last time out I was trying out a 28-300mm on a 5D MkII and I never had to take the lens off between paddock and track. Ideally, you'd take a 5D and a 7D, with a fat wide lens on the 5D and a decent telephoto on the 7D.

Check the map to see where was actually affected. It was limited to a few cities in England and possibly Cardiff. http://www.guardian.co.uk/news/datablog/interactive/2011/aug/09/uk-riots-incident-map

It makes no sense, especially when you consider both the genuine watches you mentioned have ETA 2892s in them. The 2824 it closer to the 2892 in thickness. Who can ever fathom the vagaries of the replica makers.

Yeah, not a fan. The silver one is ok, but the red and black is kinda cheap looking.

2824 has no day wheel and this makes it slightly thinner. They're the same quality.

Yes, I've been photographing MotoGP and World Superbikes.

I'd get rid of all the text in the middle to simplify it.

Damn, they were a lot less a while ago. Ok, I'll keep looking.

Nowhere near every major city in he UK was affected. Glasgow and Edinburgh, for instance, were completely unaffected.

Test ride a Ducati Diavel before making a decision.

Cousins charges £67 for clone ETAs. I was hoping for a lot cheaper.

I'm English. He's mostly wrong, and when he's right, it's through luck more than judgement. Water Cannon would not have helped as they are indiscriminate and, at the times he says they should have been used, not everybody out there was a looter or rioter. In the later days when the probability was higher that anyone out was there to create trouble, the problem was dealt with through adequate policing. The correct level of policing was used eventually and it did the job. Cracking heads CRS-style doesn't help, as the French riots proved four years ago. Arming the police also doesn't work, either. Do the US get fewer riots than us? Again, knee-jerk politics are the absolute wrong answer. We should be more like Norway and less like Bush-era US in our reaction. Also, characterising the rioters as welfare-collecting drug-addicts not only shows his agenda, but creates a loose foundation on which to build his arguments as arrest demographics show a wide cross-section of people were involved. No, anyone coming up with authoritarian solutions to this is just helping a right-wing government sneak through more extreme policies that do not in any way serve the general public. This is what governments do if we let them, much like the previous government's civil liberty restrictions. What we should do is stand back and let level heads prevail. Don't arm the police with baton rounds and water cannon without readin about their devastating effect on innocent children in Northern Ireland, for instance.

Another non-rep day, I'm afraid.

I've got a few old project watches from years ago I'd like to finish off. The problem was getting ETA 2824 or 2836 movements and parts cheaply, so I've decided to just put Asian ETA-clone drop-in replacements in them. Does anyone know where I can get some? I need four or five of them. Thanks.

Buy genuine hands for the UPO. It's a better solution in this case.

Slevin on a 7.5" wrist:

99% of success comes from having both. Of course there are the outliers that succeed in spite of it all, but most rich people start rich. At least in Europe, this is the case.

That's most likely what it is then. You shoot at a higher framerate than needed (60fps, for instance) and speed up and slow down as needed. This is very basic NLE stuff.

You missed my point, though: it's both. You need to be talented and have a support structure. Bill Gates was smart and he put the effort in. Tales of his coding the file-allocation table in the hotel room the night before demonstrating DOS are legendary.

Both from very poor families, I'll give you that, but both were adopted by rich parents. The reason I keep going on about this is it's easier to succeed if you're starting from a place from which failing once or twice won't kill you. You didn't miss me at all, did you.

Warren Buffett's father was a Congressman. Like Gates, he had both the ability and the financial support to allow him to become the man he s today. Ability alone rarely does it; you usually need a wealthy family as well.

I suspect more than half the work was put in in post-production on some of these. Great work.

That's not effects; It's just a fisheye lens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisheye_lens
