The SLK was a game-changer, and that makes it a good choice as a future classic – look after one and the value is only going one way – an inexpensive investment, and a nice car to have around for high days and holidays. That isn’t matched by the bodywork, which can rust like any Nineties Mercedes, but on the flip side, there are plenty of examples around that have been cherished, garaged and kept as second cars, and these are the ones that are destined to become future classics provided they are well rust-proofed and equally well maintained. A car that offers and affordable yet stylish entry into Mercedes convertible ownership, yet is still modern enough to run every day, with faultless parts availability and a good record for mechanical reliability. Search from 51 Used Mercedes-Benz Convertibles for sale, including a 1998 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230, a 1999 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230, and a 2000 Mercedes-Benz SLK 230 ranging in price from 3,499 to 19,995.

The SLK was all about looking good, and that was something it did in spades. The 230 Kompressor, which was the only available model at launch, used Mercedes’s patented supercharging technology to wring almost 200bhp out of the 2.3-litre straight-four engine, meaning it was no slouch. Dynamics came second to the posing factor, and that was instantly noticeable as soon as you settled, rather comfortably, of course, behind the wheel. The SLK was a sports car that didn’t need to be a sports car. It didn’t matter one jot that the SLK’s chassis, based on a truncated C-class platform, was fairly wooden (a fact proven by the clunky, overweight Chrysler Crossfire that grew from the platform), or that the extra weight of the electro-hydraulic rams and steel roof made it considerably heavier than the likes of the BMW Z3 and Porsche Boxster that were touted as its rivals. A waiting list so long, in fact, that buyers in the USA had to wait over a year before Mercedes started importing them, and kick-started an even longer waiting list. With styling cues quite clearly ripped from the bigger SL, combined with a sub-£30,000 price tag and compact dimensions, it was no surprise that there was a waiting list across Europe almost from the outset. The company’s mini-SL, codenamed R170, made its European debut in April 1996 and was previewed at that year’s Turin Motor Show. As an engineering masterpiece, it was a sight to behold. By pressing a button on the centre console, the roof would lift and concertina away into a rear deck that lifted up on hydraulic rams, so it was safely stowed away in just over 30 seconds. The Vario-Roof worked by means of a folding steel hardtop, divided in half along a transverse axis. The original ‘Vario-Roof’ was first seen on the SLK II Concept Car at the 1994 Paris Motor Show, the appearance of the prototype being so close to the final production model that it was clear from the outset that Mercedes had production intent for the model. It may not have been the first of its ilk, but the Mercedes-Benz R170 SLK was the car that popularised the trend of the electric folding hardtop – an idea that went on to spawn similar models from Peugeot, Vauxhall, Ford and Nissan to name but a few.

Sandy-Lynn Steenhuisen, left, and Ruth Cozien look for pollen on a lizard. They were fairly convinced that the plants were being pollinated by nocturnal rodents, and initially set the cameras to only record at night. The plants’ flowers were so low to the ground that simply setting the camera traps was a challenge which involved either digging into the stony ground (“and trying not to accidentally kick a rock on to a hiker below”) or using the very steep terrain to aim the shot “up the plant’s skirt”, says Cozien. “I’ve never been involved in such a physically demanding project,” says Steenhuisen, who frequently found herself lagging behind trail-runners Cozien and Van der Niet. They often left the site in complete darkness, as thick mist swirled around them. Leaving their base at around 6am, the group spent more than 12 hours on the mountain every day, lugging everything from motion-trigger cameras to rodent traps and peanut butter bait balls up and down the steep slopes the Guthriea call home in their quest to work out who was pollinating the flowers. It didn’t take much to persuade Dr Sandy-Lynn Steenhuisen at the University of the Free State’s department of plant sciences and Prof Steven Johnson of the Centre for Functional Biodiversity at KwaZulu-Natal to join the couple on a two-week “working holiday” in the mountains.

Open Kaillera is an open-source server and client library, aimed to extend and improve maintaining backward-compatibility with the Kaillera netplay protocol. Everyone in our GE group has done clean mupen installs just to see if it was something wrong on our end but to no avail. I REALLY like the new emulinker servers, I just never have any luck with Mupen64++ on them most of the time. IT was literally one of the few times in the past 6 years when we have had absolutely PERFECT lag-free games of 4 player Goldeneye, Marioparty, and Mariogolf. The few times we were able to play at Demoncat Server on the EMX v1.2, it was smooth as butter and I miss that feeling. It works, but I have no commands and there is more lag and delay. When I host kaillerasvr v.86, we have zero problems whatsoever, its just.I hate using that old server. When I hosted the EMX v1.2, we had slightly more luck but still had DS issues. When I hosted an EMX v2.0.2, we instantly DS'd. I have also tried all the above via hosting different version of the servers and we had the same results. We took our game to a v.86 server and everything works perfect (except slightly more delay and lag BUT no desync problems). Now that the new EMX 2.0.2 is out, we tried again at SmashFU and we got the same result, DS literally 10 seconds into the game. Features The requirements for the original Nestopia were considered higher than some of its contemporaries such as Stella. The question is, why does Mupen (in my my experience anyways) always desync on EmulinkerSF and EMXv1.2 and up? There is one exception though- Demoncat tribe server was running the EMX 1.2 and we were able to play flawlessly on Mupen64++ there (until the 18 min cutoff lol) but at the same time, Smash FU/Galaxy/etc was also on EMX 1.2 and we would always desync right off the bat there. Nestopia is a portable and cycle-accurate NES/Famicom emulator written in C++. Nestopia UE - and its predecessor Nestopia - are an open-source NES/Famicom emulator designed to emulate the NES hardware as accurately as possible. I use this emu because my friends and I play Goldeneye mostly. Really great work on V2.0.2! I am not sure if this is the forum for this, but I have a question that has been bugging me for years: The musical centerpiece from the Tom Hanks-directed ’60s-set comedy of the same name is more than just a theme song: It’s a central character, an action sequence, a love story, a rise and a fall in 166 glorious seconds. The Wonders, “That Thing You Do!” (That Thing You Do!, 1996) 7 in Finland is literally about 1,000 records, so we’ve been living off that for a while.” His self-deprecation aside, it’s hard to think of a more prototypically 1996 radio-rock song than “Sink to the Bottom” - despondent yet triumphant with a melodic fuzzbomb of a chorus. “Apparently, it was in some Finnish beer commercial,” Schlesinger was quick to add to the A.V. 42 and (oddly enough) hitting the top 10 in Finland. “Sink to the Bottom” failed to chart stateside, but did respectably in the U.K., peaking at No. MORGAN ENOSįountains of Wayne, “Sink to the Bottom” ( Fountains of Wayne, 1996) “I got very jealous of that song.” While “Radiation Vibe” was actually written by co-leader Chris Collingwood rather than Schlesinger, it showed that Fountains of Wayne nailed its effervescent sound from the jump. The first song on Fountains of Wayne’s self-titled debut is a slacker-y delight with zonked nonsense verse typical of the era: “Are you alone now/ Did you lose the monkey/ He gave you backaches/ And now you slouch.” “It’s got some kind of magic, fun quality to it that we never really had in anything before,” Schlesinger told The A.V.

That musical telepathy not only led to Fountains of Wayne’s No. With that said I opted for the tan waxed canvas bag and save $110 i could put towards a new lens. It really is a beautiful bag, but I find myself worrying people will know there is even more expensive stuff inside of it. Thanks for the feedback! I think you are right on the all leather screaming for attention. As a result, it won’t fit a 13 Macbookbut an iPad or an 11. I decided to splurge for once and go for the leather, but if I had a do-over I would probably go for one of the canvas Bowery bags. ONA’s Prince St is a small and thin messenger bag designed for the photographer on the go and the more mobile oriented shooter. Instead my ONA shouts expensive purse mug me. Most of the better leather or canvas ones shouted expensive camera bag steal me. I looked at a lot of smaller camera bags that would house a mirrorless body and 2 or 3 lenses. I had a 12mm-40mm f2.8 for about 3 weeks and with it mounted on the E-M10, they took up half of the bag. Theyre handcrafted with full-grain Italian leathers, durable canvases.

I have a leather bowery for my E-M10 and 12mm f2.0. Are there any out there? I would like to see all my options before investing almost $250 into this bag. However, I can't seem to find competitors or alternative bags with similar look. Here's a short video showing how I fit all this inside the Bowery.I love the vintage, leather look of the ONA The Bowery back to supplement my E-M5. I don't always need this amount of gear, but it's good to have the option. But I can basically get all of the following into the Bowery. The leather version is a good bit heavier than the canvas one and as I said earlier, the purpose of this bag for me is to travel lighter on a day to day basis when I don't have a shoot that requires larger lenses. The Bowery can hold a lot of kit for such a small bag. The leather is thick and tough and the rivets and buckles are chunky and already look aged, which is in keeping with the rest of the bag. But if you want your bag to look as though you've been using it for years, even though it's fairly new, then look no further because ONA is definitely what you're after.īuild quality on ONA bags is fantastic, in fact I would say it's the best I have seen on any bag!

The leather ONA bags are made to wear-in really quickly, so if you want one to stay looking as new as the day you bought it for many years, leather ONA bags are not for you. The tan on both bags is slightly different. ONA builds their exceptionally functional and stylish camera bags from the finest materials, such as full-grain cowhide leather, and waxed cotton canvas. I paid the £219 at The Classic Camera and resisted buying a Leica M6 (for now) while I was in the shop. I ended up carrying the Bowery around in it's box for six hours that day while I shot some London Street Photography with the X70 and X-Pro2. Nokona is founded on top-quality, handcrafted leather goods, starting in 1926 making small carry items and making our first ballgloves a few years later. I liked the Tan canvas version when I was looking at them at Classic Camera, but I knew I wouldn't get it out of my system unless I bought the leather one. The Antique Cognac looks good (it looks much better in the flesh than it does on the internet actually), but I loved the look of the Dark Truffle leather version. 23 Off: ONA The Madison Leather Bag for 15 Laptop and DSLR Camera with Lens MFR: ONA035BL.

Which effect would dominate?įor most of the 1970s, nobody knew. Industrial emissions of tiny airborne particles called aerosols might cause cooling, while greenhouse gas emissions would cause warming. Earlier studies of human impact on climate had called it "inadvertent climate modification."2 This was because while many scientists accepted that human activities could cause climate change, they did not know what the direction of change might be. Its first use was in a 1975 Science article by geochemist Wallace Broecker of Columbia University's Lamont-Doherty Geological Observatory: "Climatic Change: Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming?"1īroecker's term was a break with tradition. To a scientist, global warming describes the average global surface temperature increase from human emissions of greenhouse gases. We use the less appealing "climate change." Why? But we don't use global warming much on this website. The Union of Concerned Scientists website on climate change is titled "Global Warming," just one of many examples.

Former White House chef Andre Rush says the dishes he made could start wars and end wars. He’s an advocate for the United Service Organizations (USO), Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and American Legion. In addition to being a chef, Rush is also known for his advocacy for military service and suicide prevention.Īlthough Rush is no longer in the Army, he is still very much involved.

Chef Rush is one of the top chefs in the US military, having competed in countless competitions with the United States Culinary Arts Team and winning 150 medals.

The White House Chef Andre Rush gained international fame overnight in 2018 after a picture of his 24-inch biceps went viral. Meet Andre Rush, the White House Chef with the Viral Biceps We spoke to former White House chef Andre Rush back in 2018, the man behind the biceps that the Internet couldn't get enough. Andre Rush worked his way to the top and is now a chef at the White House. people have been discussing the comments that are made on pinkbike and i agree that they can be very derogatory, but it's not just men's fault. so, no we don't need coddling, we need the respect that we show male riders because we have earned it. women aren't built like men, so we have to work ten times harder (and that's with any male-categorized sport). i will be the first to admit that i can't ride as well as the average male rider, but i have just as much passion and devotion to the sport as any man. but, for me personally, i don't think any of us want to be treated as if we are more special than a male rider. Thank you for saying that!! i can't really speak for most lady riders, especially since i don't ride with any and have only seen a couple in my neck of the woods. But you have to agree, a more harmonious blend of women and men riding together is the way it should be…like surfing. Maybe I’m jealous that I missed out on that. And I do see the younger generation and the inklings of inclusion are there. But is that lack of integration an ideal scenario? And maybe I’m just old school, and it’s too late for me. It’s a natural reaction to the situation. They’re women specific camps, riding groups, clubs. But as women start to gain a larger profile in our sport (which is happening), they’ve been forced to band together. And sure, this happens in many facets of society-go to a dinner party and it’s girls on the couch and dudes on the porch. Today, girls (for the most part) seem to prefer riding with girls. And sure, while we like to ride with girls, it doesn’t seem to happen much. Thirdly, because girls don’t play an equal role in our sport, it’s my belief that we’ve created a girl backlash of sorts. |
