The cameras
I've noticed that many photographers very happy and very detailed talk about their equipment. So I'll do that now times and give myself to the mainstream: D

Canon 1000F Canon 1000F
The was my first SLR. I've then got a gift from my grandpa. As the F reveals she is a film camera. I like the camera. The AF is pretty fast even if the noise is more like a chain saw. And the pictures are great, if you do not accidentally adjusted the ISO setting and suddenly all the pictures get a funny color brightness. It is the complete opposite of the digital successor. I will probably always keep the camera.
Nikon D70 With Battery Grip
The D70 is especially popular with skaters or their photographers a very popular camera. Was also the reason why I wanted a D70. It has an extremely high flash synchro. Even to 1 / 8000 you can see neither the mirror nor the closure of the image. She is also very robust. I use the battery grip is now rare but as a storage place for a second battery, he is very practical, well you can see from so much more important. She is my first choice and now has about 22,500 shots down.
Fuji (Nikon) S3 Pro
The Fuji is a little-known professional camera. She is best known for a lot of dynamic and brilliant colors and the comparison with the Nikon D3 or Canon 1D Mark 5 do not have to shrink. I find the pictures great. She has a few nice little things like a film simulator, a high shutter release, huge attitude and individuality and and. Their noise performance is also very good. Even at ISO1600 the noise is hardly noticeable. As can so many other professional camera cut a slice.

Lenses, Flashes & Other
lenses
Nikkor 18-70mm 1:3.5-4.5
The Nikkor lens is my favorite because it covers everything I need.
The AF is fast and quiet, besides you can readjust by hand without the AF off.
Tamron 70-300mm 1:4-5.6
The Tamron is not just a light giant. The AF is not very fast and makes a huge noise. But it served its purpose and the images are not called into question.
Domiplan 50mm 1:2.8
The Domiplan is a lens with M42 connector, correspondingly, it also controls all functions of a chip. So, no AF and no auto-aperture. Everything is set by hand. And although the AF ring is somewhat stiff, it's a great lens.
Exakta 28-70mm 1:3.5-4.5
The Exakta is part of the Canon. And as mentioned, remembers the sound of the AF engine more like a chain saw or by rolling tanks. The AF is fast, it is also very handy. A great lens. At some point there was even a skylight filter on it but he is in the shallows of the camera bag disappeared.
lightning
In Bmx and skateboarding needs photography one grade in the halls a lot of light to reach acceptable exposure times, also, to make this produce many effects. So here's my flash collection.
Carena
Fairly powerful flash. But also quite big and bulky. However, I do not know how to turn down the power that is always full up stall in the bananas.
Yongnuo YN 460 II
From Blitz'chen to a strong Super Flash because everything is in the process is also it dirt cheap. What to consider flying bicycles and skateboards, as well as out of control driver simply makes no sense to buy an expensive flash. Since it loads quickly even sustained fire is possible.
Praktica
Another powerful flash, but you can not change the power again. In contrast to the Praktica Carena has not even switch to change the performance. So back full power.
Doerr flash
The dried-in flash is a rather strange construction, because he has a flash bracket on the bottom that you can not remove and I not found a sensible method of attachment because if you screw it to the camera that you can not reasonably hold without the flash with your hand to conceal. He has a slave function and is therefore always at hand.
Other
no less important. On the contrary, because without the "bite" battery does not even flash.
batteries
I always Varta High Energy. Almost always, the red, because I think these are the best. The last a long time and have more power than the cheap. I also tried the blue times. However, the feeling in my lower power.
Tripods
About tripods I've never really thought I made. They must be very simple. Whether they are smooth or difficult does not matter, they mainly keep the flash where I want it.
flash release
These things I'm always there for me when lightning is unleashed without nothing more.
Lenspen Lenspen
The split bearings. You either love him or you hate him. I like him. It is simple and takes practically no space. And if you getatscht again on the lens, then after a few seconds the fingerprint is history.
Blasebag
Blasebag The Lenspen is like the simply practical, as you can make in addition to dust and blow away a lot of other things with it. Sometimes the thing serves only as a chewing gum paper launch station.
lightning rails
Sometimes you have to just stand still a second flash and is then fixed with normal flash bracket.
manual
When I took the camera still does not know the manual but I have a thing or two times. Meanwhile, it is always in my backpack. Does not take up no space and can be one or the other one probably even be more useful.
When I took the camera still does not know the manual but I have a thing or two times. Meanwhile, it is always in my backpack. Does not take up no space and can be one or the other one probably even be more useful.
cable ties, duct tape and tool
Can be easy infinitely useful in all areas and should always be there. have been
so it should be first on the whole, if I can think of something I'm going to write this so keep watching pure.

Can Chicken Pox Be Really Mild
the election promises, Episode 121979843278946328764782
announced
large, extra placarded's election promise of the Vienna Open was simply "annual pass 100 € - for only 100 € a year go by public transport, well that's a quote, because it makes it like his cross.
But, as always, with campaign promises, respect is of course something else - Vassilakou woman becomes vice mayor and replaced on top of the transport portfolio (and thus would be ideal for compliance with the election promise). But she said these days that because of the economic situation is not currently possible, which should also be clear - by which its great Herumgerechne they still in ATV - The match at Vienna had operated, can be dismissed as a classic Politikerphrasendrescherei.
The lesson; Couleur matter essentially the same. Promise, announcement, but forgot to implement.

Betrand de Jouvenel defined the state as a result of conquest and the desire of a horde of bandits, to place itself above others and impose their will:
"(...) the state is in essence the result of the success Achieved by a band of brigands who superimpose themselves on small, distinct societis; tis band, which is itself organized in a society as fraternal and as full of thieves' justive as you please, behave towards the Subjected as vanquished and the Power in the pure state. (Elsewhere defined De Jouvenel this as a command to an end in itself it)

Option Future Solution
Austro
the dandelion has asked me to the test publisher, the new cookbook "Austro pasta available. Thanks again for that!
I have of course a great Pastafan me so excited about it. Browse
After first I'm thrilled because the title on the book front page - "refined simple recipes - really true!
are very different recipes in the book than expected. Some might expect the courts in a higher priced restaurant. Refined but not incredibly long lists of ingredients and descriptions. So I might have liked. I just do not have the time to cook during the middle two pages to read descriptions that could also have been able to reduce to half a page.
are also some very unusual recipes here (for me almost too special;)) But such dishes I've yet to find in no other cookbook.
The pictures of the dishes are very pretty and appealing. I would have only wished that there are pictures of all the recipes, instead of 3 images by the same court. This is to get over, however.
in between I had a few ingredients that I had never met. Respectively. I do know it already, only in Austria (where the cookbook comes from) they are called simply different. Since I had already hovering sometimes a few question marks over me, but cleared up thanks to the Internet the relatively fast! :)
sweet noodle dishes and basics (pasta dough and variants) are also one of the party.
A thoroughly enjoyable book for those who are not on complicated recipes, but what Refined want on your plate.
After my vacation I'll cook some recipes from it (the book is already full of yellow slip of paper:)) and continue to keep you informed of it!

The only apparent social peace
As one of the achievements of the welfare state is the "social peace", based on redistribution and social safety net, which are used in conflict prevention is much more than rigorous monitoring and harsh penalties.
If anyone can be sure, collected for example in the event of unemployment, retirement or (severe) disease through a social network are, so to alleviate this, the crime rate, the number of acts of violence or even the possibility of civil wars and similar serious social conflicts. People who are in an emergency and also that of, have naturally a lower vulnerability to property crime, as they are also less vulnerable to radicalization of any kind.
The social peace based on social security and goes even further: not only security but also a minimum level of equality The purpose of redistribution. Social Security alone is not enough, because poverty and suffering are relative, who is poor and sees that other people do around him many times by himself, is still susceptible to violence and revolution. One compares like his situation with members of the same region of the same state - the reference to countries where it is "the people" going to be worse, though heard, but he does not count.
Who are the poor, marginalized, disadvantaged or "underprivileged" is deemed not to eat a sandwich. Frustration, anger and a willingness to use force dwindle until a minimum of equality within a state prevails - from this realization, the government is active to produce a state of uniformity and security and preserve it.
The active redistributive state is thus the modern version of Hobbes' Leviathan. As is known, Hobbes went from man, who is a wolf to man, if not tamed, by giving off a portion of his freedom to a higher instance. For in the natural state in which all are theoretically absolutely free, virtually all non-free because each afraid of an arbitrary exercise of freedom must be his next.
Even those who would properly deal with their freedom to be by this spiral of fear prevented. The end result is a state of universal freedom and disorder, not bring anything.
So, all share some of their freedom, without freedom alive, because absolute freedom to abolish itself and thus a contradiction in terms.
The concept of the concept of social peace is its logical extension, each man doing well when a portion of his (tax) money directed to others - so he buys his freedom in taxes from others who would rob him without redistribution rather than with. The
in extreme cases even the entire social system by revolutions and the like would bring the collapse. Before this happens and the prosperity of the one does not work, because he did not due to a number of poor people could enjoy, does redistribution is a - it has a balancing effect, prevent a few rich and the majority is poor and thus have two more.
redistribution prevents that the wealthy, for example, in small, fenced housing developments, so-called "gated communities" to insulate itself from the outside they are waiting to threat of the impoverished masses.
is because such a state is reached only once, the sacrifice of freedom and security for the benefit of their own prosperity has become disproportionately large. It is indeed, everyone can put this wealth but enjoy only limited and therefore they do not, the modern Leviathan is much more than that, the Hobbes in the 17th Century has described.
The protection of security today requires more than mere Monopolosierung of violence by the state. The modern Leviathan does not only freedom but also goods and chattels, in order to redistribute, for the benefit of all - even those who give more net. These peace
effect of redistribution and homogenization is the most serious argument in favor of the welfare state.
It is aimed at those who finance the government and their (at least tacit) consent thus most important. On the "middle class" so - a word not, which can be defined from the perspective of redistribution, as follows: For the middle class are those who have too little money to effectively resist the redistribution of state and too much to the redistribution (financial) benefit.
The peace effect appears priceless, is a precious commodity for which it is a pleasure löhnt - and there are not measure of peace and its costs can be, the pain threshold for those who purely calculated by Numbers, net public finance, are also very high.
The end of redistribution?
is today often posits the end of redistribution, is on the causes of dispute on several occasions. Commonly apply the familiar slogans such as globalization, speculators, capitalism or neoliberalism as the gravediggers of redistribution and the welfare state.
The policy is considered to be powerless against the economy and its shown as unnachvollziehbar movements. "The economy" is aware of the limits are tied to the states, not - the state is thus limited in its scope, the number of people he can tax actually falls.
Now that it's as easy as never before, people, goods, information and funds to send in a short time around the globe, falls, particularly among the wealthiest interests, contribute to the redistribution of State - and parallel to affect the redistribution instruments it less and less. Who can afford to flee, financially, as he transferred his assets abroad or tax-friendly port. Often this escape is
also physically-Monaco is an exemplary gathering of tax exiles who want to know not only their money in more pleasant climes. Zygmunt Bauman has the trend of avoiding therefore, at least "the elites" the redistributive state, aptly described - today "the successful ones are" (...) no longer dependent on community. The close-knit network of obligations to a community promises them little advantage in Rather, they are at risk in the event of their involvement in the network significant losses ".
So it happens that the people have loved to property tax, bank tax, and the like required, upon closer inspection, the group mainly taxed but always remains the same: the much-vaunted "middle class". Redistribution thus leads to the death of more and more middle class, a dissolving of that members of the middle class, belonging to the net-state financiers. Of all the means of redistributing resources produce the state that will prevent it. Wilhelm Roepke, this trend, this death of the middle class in the name of redistribution in favor of the poor, already 1950s with little political correct described
"growing proletarianization means decreasing resistance to a policy of income smoothing and the further destruction of the middle class be more specific. Proletarianization has exceeded a certain level, then perform the demands presented by the proletariat to the wider society is easily to such a pressure on the Treasury and the monetary and credit system, be that constant inflation pressure, and over-taxation avoided less and less.
In the modern proletarian, the welfare state 'with its almost limitless programs, social security' and 'full employment' is increasingly a continued Tendency for inflation (along with the permanent reduction in the purchasing power of money) and emerge to a fiscal policy that discourages them to own property to enjoy the fruits of the property and in general to earn an income that education allows property.
discouraged While this tendency, the individual savings, can be the engine of state-organized society, more and more people, more or less adequate, stable feeding be 'left to fall through the state to tenants of the government. Bread and circuses. Once before has the history of the world is experiencing a similar process "
The cost illusion
Since conventional taxes alone will sufficient to pay for social peace are long gone, the state is forced for decades to make two types of taxation, the issue raised by Röpke inflation, which is really taxation through the back door and debt, so deferred taxation.
Both measures have fooled away the fact that the state as we know it is more expensive than shown.
Ludwig von Mises' article has always described the true effect of inflation and the expansion of money supply unit takes place simultaneously with a general increase in prices (which is its corollary).
In the time window between expansion and rise in prices benefit those who receive the extra money as long as prices are not increased. The rest, who before and after the price increase as much money can then pay less than before - their money, no matter in what form, is rendered worthless in the long term - because the salaries are rising less rapidly than the daily cost. Hence come the feeling of shortness of money, although the salary "increases." The different times
bank bailouts in the wake of the financial crisis was an expression of that policy - as if by magic stood in the midst of the rhetoric of the general at once saving huge amounts of money available; sums in the long run to by the masses available be made - at least since the last time know that the money system is wrong.
The third addition to taxation and inflation form of financing a state's debt, which is perhaps the most obvious expression of the illusion of the financing of the now - since the heyday of the welfare state based on a financial advance in the form of loans to pay for future generations have.
The welfare state standard, which is currently in essence, to fade, so it was impossible from the beginning to maintain long-term - like any pyramid scheme also meets the State, consisting of taxes, inflation and debt, at some point in his Limits.
new debt are only a limited extent, the credit ratings of the first (western) countries have already lowered the existing debt burden weighs now extremely difficult. Slowly, the fear is rampant in front of hyperinflation and the collapse of the euro. And becoming less and less net tax payers are groaning under the burden of taxation.
Last but not least, the state seems unwilling / unable to profound changes in himself, his administration and its services to carry out. In this climate of general confusion seems to be only one thing is certain - the fat years are over and were never really there, the redistribution has limitations.
Distribution conflicts - the struggle of all against all
Under the cloak of social peace has always been smoldering conflicts, for redistribution is an ongoing process that never ends as soon as it is once set in motion. Once the principle recognizes that all have a role (in very different degrees) to a larger whole, to make out all the possible lines of conflict.
by the principle of redistribution, because the people whose belongings will be distributed (no matter how they may have come to that), played against each other in position.
they exist long enough money, so the cake was large enough, it seemed as if the state is a community to of each (with exceptions) reasonably willingly contributes his mite - because you had the feeling, even rauszubekommen much, they gave off a little too happy.
This ever-present state of war of all against all appears now that the redistributive state is reaching its limits, manifest. And, although really far-reaching reforms were yet to begin.
In France, for example, the people rise up in arms because the retirement age was increased by two years.
In Austria, students demonstrate against the abolition of the family benefits from 24 years ago. Of the working population as lazy students and pensioners as a cost considered, to name just two examples. An Austrian political scientist recently suggested before even talking to pensioners after a certain time, the right to vote, as they have because of their sheer number about too much power and live at the expense of the current generation that will no longer enjoy its benefits.
Even minor actions are sufficient to make the lines of conflict to attack, which were still hidden, as long as the prevailing illusion of affordable welfare state. This in turn
are all sorts of groups in the fight for the last pieces of the shrinking pie over - students and workers, pensioners and the unemployed, Employed and unemployed. All have arguments as to why just backed her play or even increased needs, students are important to the future of the country, workers would start at the earliest, to pay taxes, pensioners have earned it after years of deposit in the pension system, secured their retirement to spend and so on.
This is still an intensification of ethnic divisions as one might have thought it impossible for a few years ago, immigrants who were brought into the country to finance the welfare state are now as an additional negative factor.
Hobbes dictum about the struggle of all against all seems Today, despite - or perhaps because of - ever redistribution more than to apply.
The social peace prevailed only as long as enough money was there, or at least it seemed. Money that today seems not to suffice with a steadily increasing state spending, including through the interest on the debt, and rampant inefficiency in the state. Who wants to push through radical reforms, is facing an insurmountable wall - no one is willing to cede some of his privileges, which were at times the illusion even forgive generously. Rather as a tax, a tax there, a little more inflation - cuts only to a limited extent and only where the lobby is low (currently in Austria about students and families).
seems Given this indignation among the population and with it the policy to require a national bankruptcy, to wake up and see that only a few bones left. Or the conversion of which no one says that he is the best place, slowly, but instead some success. Fear should be in front of both scenarios.
Until then, however sound still cries for tax on the rich and the like and made a few superficial adjustments to the illusion of a large cake as long as possible to maintain.
As one of the achievements of the welfare state is the "social peace", based on redistribution and social safety net, which are used in conflict prevention is much more than rigorous monitoring and harsh penalties.
If anyone can be sure, collected for example in the event of unemployment, retirement or (severe) disease through a social network are, so to alleviate this, the crime rate, the number of acts of violence or even the possibility of civil wars and similar serious social conflicts.

they exist long enough money, so the cake was large enough, it seemed as if the state is a community to of each (with exceptions) reasonably willingly contributes his mite - because you had the feeling, even rauszubekommen much, they gave off a little too happy.
This ever-present state of war of all against all appears now that the redistributive state is reaching its limits, manifest. And, although really far-reaching reforms were yet to begin.
In France, for example, the people rise up in arms because the retirement age was increased by two years.
In Austria, students demonstrate against the abolition of the family benefits from 24 years ago. Of the working population as lazy students and pensioners as a cost considered, to name just two examples. An Austrian political scientist recently suggested before even talking to pensioners after a certain time, the right to vote, as they have because of their sheer number about too much power and live at the expense of the current generation that will no longer enjoy its benefits.
Even minor actions are sufficient to make the lines of conflict to attack, which were still hidden, as long as the prevailing illusion of affordable welfare state. This in turn
are all sorts of groups in the fight for the last pieces of the shrinking pie over - students and workers, pensioners and the unemployed, Employed and unemployed. All have arguments as to why just backed her play or even increased needs, students are important to the future of the country, workers would start at the earliest, to pay taxes, pensioners have earned it after years of deposit in the pension system, secured their retirement to spend and so on.
This is still an intensification of ethnic divisions as one might have thought it impossible for a few years ago, immigrants who were brought into the country to finance the welfare state are now as an additional negative factor.
Hobbes dictum about the struggle of all against all seems Today, despite - or perhaps because of - ever redistribution more than to apply.
The social peace prevailed only as long as enough money was there, or at least it seemed. Money that today seems not to suffice with a steadily increasing state spending, including through the interest on the debt, and rampant inefficiency in the state. Who wants to push through radical reforms, is facing an insurmountable wall - no one is willing to cede some of his privileges, which were at times the illusion even forgive generously. Rather as a tax, a tax there, a little more inflation - cuts only to a limited extent and only where the lobby is low (currently in Austria about students and families).
seems Given this indignation among the population and with it the policy to require a national bankruptcy, to wake up and see that only a few bones left. Or the conversion of which no one says that he is the best place, slowly, but instead some success. Fear should be in front of both scenarios.
Until then, however sound still cries for tax on the rich and the like and made a few superficial adjustments to the illusion of a large cake as long as possible to maintain.

Niki Lauda interviewed about the new budget
http://money.oe24.at/money/Niki-Laudas-Kampf-gegen-das-Budget/6002016
AUSTRIA: What annoys you more in the new budget?
Lauda: That's quite simple. If I owned a company called State and the costs too much and lost it - then I'll have to save, and mine for myself. And, for example, not a few days after I have presented such a budget, increase the wages of civil servants for a total of 115 million €. Of course to get the inflation compensation, but as I said: That's still not all together. It's just a matter that everyone defends his benefice and the additional costs being passed on to citizens. And the gentlemen Pröll and Faymann position themselves more and present it as a success.

keeping with the integration debate everywhere - Zygmunt Bauman suggests the analysis of the population into ethnic groups and minorities as an expression of the old ruling principle divide et impera :
"The powerful have to at all times the established principle of divide et impera operated if you feel threatened by the union of diverse, previously scattered complainant. felt if it is possible to prevent them that they are united in under whistleblowing suffering anxiety and anger when the various categories associated oppressed more songs separately to their needs, then can the protest in a variety of hostilities split up between the tribes and communities - communities where the leading powers then the role of the impartial judge, the keeper of the equal opportunity of competing claims, the apostle of peace, the Saviour and benevolent protector of all involved in the murderous conflict parties, and their contribution to the attainment of the conditions, that this conflict have been avoided, is then usually overlooked and forgotten. (...) If the poor fighting each other, the rich have reason to rejoice. "

Herbert Spencer's ideal society - eine von freien Individuen und so wenig Zwang wie möglich:
"That form of society towards which we are progrssing, I hold to be one in which government will be reduced to the smallest amount possible, and freedom increased to the greatest amount possible - one in which human nature will have become so moulded by social discipline into fitness for the social state, that it will need little external restraint, but will be self-restrained - one in which the citizen will tolerate no interference with his freedom, save that which maintains the equal freedom of others - one in which the spontaneous co-operation which has developed our industrial system, and is now developing it with increasing rapidity, will procude agencies for the discarge of nearly all social functions, and will leave to the primary governmental agency nothing beyond the function of Maintaining those conditions to free action, Which make apontaneous seeking co-operation possible - one # in which individual life will be pusehd Thus to the greatest extent consistent with social . life: and # in which social life will have no other end than to maintain the Complete sphere for individual life "

Bertrand de Jouvenel - the end of the restriction of power by the objective pursued by it (and thus the legitimacy of civil disobedience) - and as the target nciht suddenly more power was used but power limiting Expanding:
"The idea of the end, after having played in medieval Catholic thought the part of a correctie to the idea of sovereignty (the obedience due to a Power by reason of its legitimacy could, that is to say, be disclaimed if the Power stopped aiming at the common good), suffered eclipse in the theories of popular sovereignty. (...) the hypothesis was made that a Power which was the legitimate emanation of society would for that very reason never cease to seek the social good, because "the General Will is always righteous and always aims at the public advantage".
In the nineteenth century (...) the idea of the end reappears, but its influence then is quite different from that which it exercised in the Middle Ages. In those days it had, in effect, served as on obstacle to the developtment of Power. But in the nineteenth century it will be seen Furthering its developtment. This reversal is related to at entirely new way of picturing society, Which is now regarded not as in aggregate of individuals with common principles, but as a developing organism. "
Bertrand de Jouvenel. On Power, p. 48f. Liberty Fund , 1992
