Graffiti book by Benoit Ollive
Graffiti is often misunderstood, and it is difficult for a graffiti writer to explain what he feels about it. I have been asked by a book publisher to write few pages to explain to teenagers how to practice graffiti. After hours and hours I came to the conclusion there was nothing to teach about it except providing the tool to do it. The new generation needs to discover it by practising it
instead of reading lessons. Rather than a long sterile speech debating on the good or bad virtues I created my own book to share my point of view through a conceptual message.

You may have had a difficult hangover to deal with New Year's Day, but nothing like that of San Francisco Giants relief pitcher Sergio Romo. Romo reportedly was drunken and belligerent toward TSA officers, and spent much of his New Year's Day hammered and in Las Vegas police custody
This gives a whole new meaning to Romo's "I Just Look Illegal" t-shirt.
TMZ was first with the news -- those guys are first with everything these days -- that Sergio Romo was arrested at the Las Vegas airport on New Year's Day. "The San Francisco Giants pitcher was detained by cops because he couldn't provide the proper ID to clear security," TMZ reports, "We're told Romo then got into it with a TSA agent -- becoming 'angry and aggressive.' Cops then swooped in and cuffed him."
San Francisco's KGO has additional details of Sergio Romo's arrest at McCarran International Airport. The scuffle apparently occurred at airport security at 9 a.m. on New Year's Day -- when most professional athletes are still out partying. Police officers were called to an incident involving Romo at a security check-in, and observed Romo displaying "agitated posture" and "clenched fists" while "pacing around".
Sergio Romo, drunk? I guess you might call that Romo Bombed.
As you might imagine, the official TSA statement on the matter is a whole lot less entertaining than TMZ's version of events.
Without identifying Sergio Romo, the TSA statement merely says that "a male passenger was unable to provide identification required of travelers at the TSA Document Control station," and that "airport police noticed the individual engaged in a dispute with a TSA officer and took action."
Romo was soon released from airport police custody, but he will face a court date because of the incident.
Many San Francisco Giants fans probably wish that it had been pitcher Barry Zito instead of Sergio Romo at the airport trying to throw a tantrum. After all, Zito can't throw anything!

By Aminta of Clothes & Fashion
Summer is in full swing- and we're loving every minute of it! Here is a list with 10 essential items to update your wardrobe!
1. Sandals. These season, chunky sandals are all the rage! Even Birkenstocks are in, but I don't encourage them…try to find a prettier brand!
2. Art prints. Let your creative side show with pop art prints, brush strokes, or geometric patterns!
3. Ethnic prints.Tribal, tropical, Andean…just a few of the many print options from around the world you can rock this summer!
4. Bomber jacket. For a fun and relaxed summer look, pair a bomber or varsity jacket with cut-out jeans and sneakers!
5. Hats. Protect your face from dangerous sunrays, while looking cute all at once!
6. Sunglasses. Sunglasses this season are way over the top! Pick a fun color, or a chic mirrored pair!
7. Backpacks. Carry all your essentials in a fun backpack, and keep your hands free for the things that really matter this summer- like eating ice cream, or snapping a selfie with your girlfriends.
8. Sporty looks. Mesh, neoprene, cotton; these are some of the fabrics that will make you look sporty, without actually having to exercise.
9. Full skirts. Feel extra feminine and extra flirty in a full skirt.
10. Crop tops. If you can only buy one item in this list, make it a crop top. No summer wardrobe will be complete without a little midriff action!

Q:Is there some kind of Viggle server outage or problem. Customer support is not replying but since this morning its giving me error messages of not connecting to the internet and cant log in even though I am on the internet. Strangely at the same time, Im getting popups of shows watched 24 hours ago. They seem to have poor service anyway and server errors almost every day but never had this message.
We've never noticed server errors on a daily basis.
There does seem to be a slow point arrival today, from shows last night. It's often times good to just be patient. If they are showing up, logic says they will all show up eventually (sometimes within 24 hours, during a situation like this). If they don't, then email them. Patience often pays off, and we know it's been a weird week since the Oscars w/ points.
As far as server outage, we've been able to get clocked into everything we tried for today. Try a force-stop & restart on the app, or hard restart on your device. Sometimes, it's just a hiccup in technology (which is never perfect no matter who makes it). However, if you're not connecting to the internet, that's an end-user issue, not a Viggle issue. (We had our own internet glitch last night, but it worked itself out.)
Customer service does respond to all requests. There are tons of users, so give cust. serv. time to respond back to you. If you are missing points, etc, they will correct that for you.

- About the Juniata Scholarship Fund |
- Class Fund Agents |
- Thank You Letters
- Class Giving and Participation |
- Faculty and Staff Giving |
- Phonathon |
- Matching Gifts
Nathan DeCriscio
Program of Emphasis: Mathematics
Hometown: Altoona, PA
High School: Altoona Area Sr High School
Why I chose to attend Juniata: I chose to attend Juniata College because it is a small campus, it is only about forty minutes from where I live, and I love the atmosphere and family-like feel here. I remember touring this campus and just imagining myself being here. I didn't want to go to a large school where I was just going to be another number. I wanted to go to a school where I would be able to meet most of the people on campus and form relationships with my professors. Juniata gives off such a great vibe that makes it feel just like home and everybody that works here is here for the students and to make their experiences the best they can.
Clubs and Organizations: I am a member of a non-profit organization called Caring for Kids with Cancer(CFKC). I am a board member for the organization and the social network administrator. Helping out kids who are less fortunate than everybody else in the world is such a great feeling that I cannot even begin to describe.
Varsity Sports: I play football here at Juniata College. I play outside linebacker.
Most Interesting Class: The most interesting class I have taken this year is Computer Science I. Prior to this course, I had no experience with programming on computers. It has been very fun and unique to learn how to program on a computer. It has opened a new potential career for me that I may pursue. It is interesting to see just how to take a computer and put it to use by writing programs for it.
Favorite Faculty Member: Coach Launtz, my football coach, has made the biggest impact on my life so far. He always gives inspiring quotes and sayings to us and really drives us to be the best that we can. He stresses success in the classroom and that is why we are at college. Coach Launtz is a great person who has made a lot of comments this year that I think of each and every day even when I'm not at football. To me, he is more than just my football coach. He is a mentor that strives to make an impact on each and every football player's life.
Thank you!
I can't even begin to explain how thankful I am to have received this scholarship. All of the money I received through scholarships and grants has given me the opportunity to attend Juniata College. Without this financial support, I don't know if I would be at Juniata right now. I needed all of the money that I received and I am so grateful to have people as generous as you to help me get through my college education. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to come to Juniata College and further my education at a great school.

Francisco Goldman was the MC at the very first Best Translated Book Award ceremony, which took place at the fantastic Melville House offices. He gave a great speech about the importance of translation, and included an anecdote about translating a Gabriel Garcia Marquez story for Playboy . . . As many of you probably know, Goldman's wife, Aura Estrada, was a translator who was tragically killed in an accident in Mexico back in 2007. Since that time, Frank established the Aura Estrada Prize, which is given out every other year to a woman writer under the age of 35 and who writes in Spanish.
The story of Aura's death and its impact on Frank's life is heavy and emotional and touching, and is the basis for his latest book, Say Her Name. This got a lot of good critical attention when it came out earlier this year, and it was announced over the weekend that it also won the Prix Femina Estranger award in France:
Francisco Goldman has won the Prix Femina Étranger for his novel Say Her Name. Created in 1904 by a group of writers for the magazine formerly known as La Vie heureuse, and known today as Femina, the The Prix Femina is a French literary prize that is comprised of three categories. The Prix Femina Étranger is awarded to the best foreign novel. Francisco Goldman is the first American to win this award since Joyce Carol Oates in 2005.
Since being published in April, Say Her Name has been no stranger to high praises. It was featured on the cover of the New York Times Book Review where it was described as, "Passionate and moving . . . beautifully written . . . the truth that emerges in this book has less to do with the mystery of [Aura's] death . . . than with the miracle of the astonishing, spirited, deeply original young woman Goldman so adored . . . So remarkable is this resurrection that at times I felt the book itself had a pulse." Vanity Fair raved, "Say Her Name is exhilarating, a testament to love that questions our suppositions about luck, fate, good fortune, and tragedy, and demands our agency in interpreting the narrative arc of an altered life." And Entertainment Weekly captured it beautifully calling it, "Extraordinary . . .The more deeply you have loved in your life, the more this book will wrench you
(The press release cuts off at that point . . . )
Congrats, to Frank! This couldn't happen to a nicer, more giving person.

Howard finished the first quarter with 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists and 1 steal.

Just tried the new cbr600f 2011 and loved it but cant find anywhere doing a nice 0% finance deal on it. Black horse offer 10.2% which I think is quite high, I know on some kawasakis and yamahas such as the er6 and diversion they offer 0%. Even a lower % would be nice.

Honda rarely give anything away - particularly on a new model. Although they have started throwing luggage in free with a new VFR1200 I believe. I am sure that, once the bike has been out for while, the'll wrap some kind of deal around it but at the moment it's just a case of seeing what you can get out of the dealer.
Good luck.

Generally if sales are struggling then the magic 0% offers appear like on the 600RR, Hornet, Fireblade, CB1000R and the free luggage offer on some of the others. As Marcus has quite rightly pointed out, now's not the time for them to be generous on this new model. I have seen one dealer in MCN including a load of "free extras" with the bike so that is probably the best you'll do in the way of a "good deal". Safe riding.

I was told there are limited deals available on the CBR because it is a new model but I guess its also because it is the middle weight bike of the moment, unlike the ER6 and Diversion which are a little old and aren't as "good" - the ER6 is a good enough bike on its own (I liked mine) but is not the same quality or performance whilst the Diversion is a similar price to the CBR and is more comparable to the ER6F.I had a quick look around bike trader and MCN and found a few deals on new CBRs but low rate finance from Honda doesn't appear available yet. You should factor in the cost of finance (& insurance & servicing) into your costs...BTW If you are intending to use it you may want to check out the servicing costs carefully - The CBR has 8000 mile service intervals, the Diversion 6000 and the ER6 4000 so there may be a difference there too.
Thanks for all the advice, I took the plunge and bought one at our local george white store, the chap who sold me the bike pulled out all the stops and I got a great deal with them and p/x my CBF. I absolutetly love it to death fantastic bike, and even get 53mpg going at a regular 80mph. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone who likes this type of style of riding.

For the second consecutive season, the Pistons are 7-20. That has led to multiple articles examining whether this year's team is better than last year's – a depressing enough topic in itself, but especially crushing when the answer is clearly no.
Lawrence Frank, of course, disagrees:
"I think we've definitely made progress, it's one of those things where we haven't seen the result," Frank said. "We're disappointed in the result, we expect better, but we are a better team than last year."
"It's disappointing to have the (current) record we have but I think sometimes you look and peel back the onion, that record we had last year, there were many games we weren't even competitive," Frank said. "We were that team 'go play the Pistons, knock them out early, they're done. We're no longer that team."
In that sense, Frank is absolutely right. Last season, the Pistons had five Pythagorean wins in their first 27 games (which measure what a team's record should be based on points scored and allowed). This season, they have 10.
But who cares whether the Pistons are better through 27 games than they were last year? Progress should not reset during the offseason. We were told repeatedly the Pistons had turned a corner last season, starting 4-20 and finishing 21-21. Here's what Joe Dumars said after the season (emphasis mine):
just because of new coach, new system, no training camp, really no preseason, rookie point guard.
"You put all those things together in a shortened season, I firmly believe that's why we got off to such a tough start. That's why it took us 20, 24 games before you start seeing guys saying, all right, we're good enough. We understand what Lawrence is doing now."
Apparently, Frank wants to be judged as if last year's progress never occurred. I could accept a step back if the Pistons were playing raw players like Andre Drummond big minutes, but that's not happening. Though the Pistons are younger, it's not substantial enough to justify this type of play.
Last year, the Pistons won 38 percent of their games – including 50 percent for nearly the final two-thirds of the season. This year, they're winning 26 percent of their games. That is not better.
It's conceivable – likely, even – the Pistons will finish this season further along as a franchise than they ended last season. But they shouldn't have taken this step back to get there.

Purdey and pageboy are two different hairstyles, often confused, both popular in the 1970s-80s epoch. Now they are being reintroduced as a new modern and sophisticated look on classic haircut.
Purdey became widely popular in the 1980s and it is now known as one of the Princess Diana hairstyles. She wore it before her engagement to Prince Charles. Purdey is another take on bob cut but it also resembles bowl cut to some extent. The difference lies in the side cutting line, which is angled to the back, making the hair in the back slightly longer. Classic purdey is curled inwards to give the hairstyle a sleek look.
Purdey is sometimes confused with pageboy, a similar haircut, only longer in the back, usually shoulder length or a little shorter. Pageboy is relatively simple and not too over-layered. On both sides pageboy is typically cut below ear. Both purdey and pageboy are usually accompanied by heavy, straight across bangs. As it requires minimum layering and do not need extra styling for volume, pageboy works best with straight hair, although it can be reproduced on curly hair with small changes. Inverted pageboy is made with endings curling outward, instead of inward. One of the most widely recognized pageboy hairstyles would be the famous Uma Thurman wig hairstyle from the film "Pulp Fiction".
Although purdey and pageboy well made up and popularized during 1950s (pageboy) and 60s (purdey) both hairstyles have a very strong 70s feel about them. Combing to the back to unveil the layers in the front was a popular technique of adding volume to the purdey and pageboy hairstyles in the 1980-1990 decade. Modern look on both haircuts is usually styled differently, with short fringe or long, delicately angled one. Different hair colors and tones are usually blended together to add more dimension to the hairstyle.

The D.A. is alarmed that Dr. Conrad Murray is asking the trial judge to spring him from the pokey while he appeals his conviction in the death of Michael Jackson -- arguing Murray is a danger to society.
According to the new docs, obtained by TMZ, prosecutors say Murray has shown no remorse for his "reckless and criminal conduct that directly caused Michael Jackson's death." In other words, the D.A. says Murray just doesn't get it, and he could engage in the same conduct again if the judge lets him loose.
The D.A. also claims Murray is a flight risk, because he no longer has strong ties to California now that his medical license has been revoked.
As for Murray's grounds for appealing the conviction, the D.A. claims they're all bogus. The D.A. makes mention of the judge's decision to exclude Dr. Arnold Klein's testimony. Klein gave MJ scores of Demerol shots in the months preceding his death, but the D.A. says no traces of the drug were found in MJ's body at the time of his death.
First off, not a fan of a careless doctor or a child molesting pop star. With that said, why should this man show remorse in a murder he's still denying to have comitted? Never has he said that he's happy that Jacko is dead and he has been punished for his recklessness by having his license revoked. That brings up the point where the DA has proven his own contridiction. The Da claims Dr. Death is a danger to society because he may do it again but now with no medical license and a reputation that will keep every other doctor miles away from him. The state needs to punish someone in this high profile case and this wanker is as good as anyone, so nail him to the wall. The bottom line is, Jacko the Wacko was a drug addict and would be worm food with or without this joker. At least our kids are safe from one threat. I say take away his license to ever practice medicine again and call it a day.
Hey CincinnatiSugar, is school out this early for the day??? Does your mommy know you're on the computer instead of doing your homework? Next thing you'll be doing is sticking your tongue out and saying "na, na, na, na". You have your assinine opinion, and others have their opinion. Oh, go look "assinine" up in the dictionary. I'm sure you haven't hit the proper grade to have that in spelling yet.
Awww, another sad miserable hater. What exactly did I say that was incorrect? Oh wait, truth hurts. Go in a corner and lick your wounds. LOL
Since you have proof, bring it on, you'd be the most famous person in the world to show proof that the FBI and Jury was wrong, come on, bring on your proof or STFU, wait looks like you have to S T F U, lol!!!!!!!!!!!
:::yawn::: Everyone knows the fbi searched for 10yrs because that's how bad you, them and every other hater wanted so badly to find anything on him. Facts are facts which you obviously know nothing about. Take the time to read the facts before you speak of something you know nothing about. They would have GLADLY used any info they could have found on him, they would have been the most famous person ever but the media and all you haters had to go away with your tails between your legs. I don't judge you though, you were brainwashed by the media.
I suppose the court of public opinion is were Dr.Murray is really on trial. MJ was screwed up before HE took his final Breath.(Molestation cases, hyperbaric chambers, prescrip. drugs) All Conrad did was a see a rich, screwed up whale and exploit it. Isnt that what this country was built on.
You are so upset that you didn't get the verdict you hoped for and so you continue to hate on MJ, his fans, etc. And, by the way, since you mentioned God, I can see that you are a christian by the way you are treating me and others. Stop acting like a child and grow up, deal with the fact that you are wrong. Also, read Aphrodite's book (but you won't, you just want to hate) You are an embarrassment to real christians.
yet,the cast of Jersey Shore still roam free.
No one cares what your close minded opinion is either. I don't care if you don't look at the facts. Haters are my motivators. Luv you :)
Here is an interesting read about Papa Joe and AEG.
Thank you to my many fans & supporters at TMZ.
I'll be home very soon & will finish my tell all book
on just how weird Michael Jackosn was.
Thank You & God Bless
Dr. Robert Conrad Murray.
He's a flight risk. Besides that might as well get some of his time out of the way. He could probably run, and you'd never find him again.
This is another one! After all the chaos he made, he should make himself invisible, shut his mouth, get ahold of every program in jail that will get him an earlier release while making a plan for when he gets out. Supposedly, he has no money, and still wasting taxpayer's dollars with court proceedings that will get him nowhere!
I'm tired of hearing about how this douche bag wants to get out of jail for murder! Put him under the jail!

CHICAGO Timken Co.s acquisition of Interlube Systems Ltd. to further diversify its portfolio of businesses underscores the steel and bearings manufacturers "blind eye" to the large conglomerate discount impairing its share price, shareholders Relational Investors LLC and the California State Teachers Retirement System claim.
"While the Interlube acquisition (amm.com, March 13), along with Timkens acquisitions of Greenbrier Cos. (amm.com, March 1) and Wazee Cos. LLC (amm.com, Jan. 2) over the past (few) months, may be sound acquisitions in terms of supporting the bearings business, none of the true value of these acquisitions can be realized for shareholders as long as the conglomerate discount continues to impair Timkens valuation in the marketplace," the San Diego investment firm said March 13.
The investment firm and the retirement fund have been pushing Timken to divest the steel business since last summer and made that effort public toward the end of the year (amm.com, Dec. 3).
"We are confident that by splitting Timkens shares to reflect independently traded steel and bearings businesses, the company can unlock significant shareholder value," Relational Investors said. "If the Interlube acquisition complements the bearings business as Timken asserts, then shareholders should be allowed to realize the full value of the bearings business. Timkens conglomerate structure impedes such valuation."
The Relational Investors and the retirement fund, which together own 7.28 percent of Timkens outstanding common shares, are asking all shareholders to support their proxy proposal that Timkens board of directors and management spin off Timkens steel business into a separately traded public company.
Timken has said it has been creating value for shareholders by making acquisitions and paying down pension obligations, outside of which its stock is "actually valued at a premium from a cash flow point of view," president and chief executive officer James W. Griffith told investors recently.
He argued that the company had worked on earnings volatility and sustainability over the past six years by reallocating capital, including investing in the business for organic growth and diversification. Timken also has raised dividends and will consider share buybacks, Griffith has said.

DJ Khaled Wants To Sign Remy Ma To His Record Label
By Peter Walsh
Feeling a little groggy on a Monday? Let DJ Khaled give you the motivation you need to get you through the day.
While up at Power 105.1 on "The Breakfast Club" to premiere his new song, "Hold You Down," with Chris Brown, August Alsina, Future, and Jeremih, Khaled gave his usual high energy interview. While answering questions about his longevity, his new headphone line, and working with Hov, the "We The Best" leader detailed what it was like working with Remy Ma on the, "They Don't Love You No More " remix.
"She came by the studio with some fly boots on, her hair done, some chains, it was like she never left!" said Khaled. "Her swag and her talk game was still so dope. Obviously, the first thing I told her was, 'I want you to be on 'We The Best.' I'm not hiding it, it ain't no secret. I'm on my job trying to sign her. It ain't been done but I've been trying… I told her, I would love to do the remix to "They Don't Love You No More" with you on it and put it out right away if you want to do it. She's like, 'Turn the mic on.' She did like one maybe two takes, went in the booth and just knocked it out. I can tell this girl has 'it'…She's definitely bossed up even more."
Khaled's album, I Changed A Lot, is coming soon.

Pentax SLR
Here are all of our Pentax SLR digital camera reviews, listed alphabetically by model.
Pentax 645D
40.0 megapixel, Pro SLR, Non-Zoom
Though big and pricey, the Pentax 645D is surprisingly nimble and makes amazing pictures. We took the 645D for a few spins around town and ran it through our test lab and were amazed at the detail it captured.
Released December 2010
Pentax 645Z
51.4 megapixel, Pro SLR, Non-Zoom
Medium-format cameras offer truly spectacular resolution, but until now, it's always come alongside a difficult compromise. With the Pentax 645Z, that changes. Building on 2010's 645D, the Pentax 645Z offers features that are rare or in some cases unique in a medium-format camera. Pick up its weather-sealed body, and you'll find both live view and video capture on offer, not to mention an extremely wide sensitivity range, 27-point phase-detect autofocus system -- and compared to rivals, very swift performance too! And of course, you'll get the incredible detail-gathering capability of medium-format, plus a really big, bright viewfinder. Is it time you considered moving up from full-frame? Read our Pentax 645Z review, and find out!
Released June 2014
Pentax K-01
16.3 megapixel, Compact System Camera, Non-Zoom
Pentax goes its own way with a mirrorless camera that accepts standard K-mount lenses. That means access to a huge back catalog of quality optics without an adapter. Unfortunately, it also necessitates a body that's barely any smaller than a standard SLR.
Released March 2012
Pentax K-3
24.4 megapixel, Pro SLR, 7.50x Zoom
Ricoh's flagship APS-C camera, the 24-megapixel Pentax K-3 is jam-packed with clever technology, yet it's also affordably priced and among the very smallest enthusiast DSLRs. As well as overhauled imaging, autofocus, and metering, it also boasts an industry-first system that lets you choose whether resolution or moire-resistance are more critical for any given shot. But can its unique advantages tempt you away from mainstream rivals Canon and Nikon? (And should you upgrade, if you're already a Pentaxian?) Find out in our Pentax K-3 review!
Released November 2013
Pentax K-5
16.3 megapixel, Pro SLR, 3.06x Zoom
With a brand-new 16-megapixel sensor, ~6.5 frames per second burst rate, and an unusually wide expanded ISO sensitivity range of 80 to 51,200 equivalents, the Pentax K-5 takes over the flagship position in Pentax's APS-C digital SLR lineup, replacing 2009's K-7 model.
Released October 2010
Full Review
Pentax K-5 II
16.3 megapixel, Pro SLR, 7.50x Zoom
Pentax's flagship enthusiast DSLR might not differ radically from its predecessor, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. The Pentax K-5 II replaces a camera that was very well-received, and makes a worthwhile improvement in low-light autofocus. It also switches to a more attractive and durable LCD monitor. Unfortunately, the movie mode is still very dated, and the new autofocus system is a little slower than the one it replaces. Still, the K-5 II packs in a lot of features into a solid, weather-sealed, and very customizable body.
Released October 2012
Pentax K-5 IIs
16.3 megapixel, Pro SLR, Non-Zoom
With the K-5 IIs, Pentax takes its popular K-5 II enthusiast DSLR, and makes a simple yet radical change, removing the moire-fighting low-pass filter. Once moire patterns make their way into your images, they can be tricky to remove without adversely affecting image quality. For the typical photographer, preventing them happening in the first place as most cameras do makes more sense, even if this trades away a little detail. If sharpness is your primary goal, though, then there's no denying that the Pentax K-5 IIs has the edge on its mainstream sibling.
Released October 2012
Pentax K-30
16.3 megapixel, SLR, 7.50x Zoom
Pentax takes features commonly associated with enthusiast-level DSLRs, and places them in a mid-range model that the rest of us can afford. With a great pentaprism viewfinder, a weather-sealed body, and twin control dials, the Pentax K-30 offers a lot of bang for the buck. Throw in much the same imaging configuration as the mirrorless K-01, and you're looking at a mighty interesting camera.
Released July 2012
Pentax K-50
16.3 megapixel, SLR, 3.06x Zoom
Released July 2013
First Shots
Pentax K-500
16.3 megapixel, SLR, 3.06x Zoom

Pentax K-S1
20.1 megapixel, SLR, 3.06x Zoom
Released September 2014
Pentax Q
12.4 megapixel, Compact System Camera, Non-Zoom
Pentax produces a small-sensor digital camera with interchangeable lenses, a first for the digital camera industry. If your interchangeable-lens camera sits at home on the shelf because it's too big, the Pentax Q be the camera you're looking for, but is it too extreme for the rest of us?
Released September 2011
Pentax Q-S1
12.4 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom
Released August 2014
Pentax Q7
12.4 megapixel, Compact System Camera, 3.00x Zoom
