I'm Diane Knoll and I have lived here on Andros Island for 26 years. Moved from St John USVI, Florida & Ct.
I then found this Bay of Pleasant Harbour with its beautiful white sand beach and fell in love with it.. Great swimming, diving, fishing and wonderful people.
I have been a sailing gal for most of my life. I can see visiting boats coming into Morgan's Bluff from our place. I have fun talking with them on my VHF radio & going out with my dingy for a visit. In coming boats are always welcome at Morgen's Bluff & Knoll's Landing.
Diane Knoll purchased this cottage in 1989
This Property is the most beautiful location on Andros with its white sand beach. great fishing and swimming. My home is located in the middle of all the rental accommodations. I am here to help you with all your needs at all times.
Andros has the most friendly people I have every had the pleasure to known and have come to love them like Family.
It's been my home for 26 years after travailing around the World. There is no place like it. Come and enjoy your vacation here at Knoll's landing. Sincerely, Diane Knoll

We look forward to many more vacations at Knoll's landing - We will see you both next fall..Love to you both, God Bless, Angela & Scott
this is our favorite bonefishing destination. The fishing is fantastic, the hosts are wonderful and the enviroment is beautiful.
This is a great destination for dedicated fisherman.
We just spent a week with an outstanding hostess. Diane was very accommodating and helpful and we truly enjoyed her company.
The accommodations were cosy and comfortable. Diane organized a couple of days of bonefishing on outstanding fishing flats. We were also able to take nice long walks on the beach during low tide. Knolls Landing is a treasure location on a nice beach.
The driver from the airport accommodated our shopping needs and we found everything we needed to enjoy lovely home cooked meals. The kitchen was well equipped and we also made use of the outdoor grill.
We would recommend a stay at Diane's especially if you are looking for access to spectacular bonefishing at the Joulter Cays.
Thank you again Diane.
Warmest regards,
John & Francine
Our family of four spent Spring Break here based on the photos and reviews on the HomeAway website. Diane is a gracious hostess who seems to know everyone on the island. She went out her way to set up a charter flight to and from Nassau, a taxi from Andros airport, scheduled a lady to plait my daughters hair, as well as suggested accommodations in Nassau prior to our arrival.
The property, Knoll's Landing, is a secluded beachfront paradise on an otherwise relatively undeveloped island. If you want nightlife and a cruise ship atmosphere, stay in Nassau At Knolls landing, nature provides ample entertainment for those who want an authentic island experience.
Our beach house slept my wife and two kids comfortably with wind and waves to lull us to sleep each night. There is no cell service and the internet access was intermittent, but this was actually a positive since my wife could not check work email and our teenage daughter could not text friends all vacation. We found our daughter to be a very likable child when her nose is not buried in an iPhone and, surprisingly, the feeling was mutual.
My son and I came for the bonefish. We scheduled 2 days on the water and Rodney is an exceptional guide and all around great guy, but the weather did not cooperate so no fish were hooked. Such are the vicissitudes of fishing, especially early season.
Snorkeling, swimming and spearfishing for lobster are available directly off the beach, but for more diverse seascapes, Diane can schedule a snorkeling day trip to a nearby island which is about 20 minutes offshore. Our snorkeling guide, Yellow, was one of the kindest most soft spoken men I have ever met. He was very attentive to my 12 year old as he navigated to reefs, and he had an eagle eye for spotting lobsters for my son to spear.
Writing this review makes me eager to return if the opportunity should present itself, and my son and I would readily hire Rodney for another shot at bonefish or even tarpon in the summer months. We would have no reservations about recommending this property to likeminded couples or families.
We chose this rental on Andros Island for our three-generation family of six because it offered close proximity to excellent bonefishing for our two flyfishers, a beautiful setting in a protected bay with a close-in reef for our 8 and 11 year old grandchildren to snorkel, interesting and varied habitat for all of us to explore, and a quiet, private location for relaxing. Our accommodations included the two bedroom cottage plus a lovely studio with a kingsize bed and an amazing bathroom with a view of the ocean for us grandparents. We shared the kitchen in the cottage.
What made the week so fantastic was the friendly, attentive care that our hosts extended to our family. Diane was always available to help with anything we needed from extra groceries to a trip to the "blue hole in the ocean" at Conch Sound. Since we did not rent a car for the week, her help in these areas was incalculable. Captain Rodney provided excellent guide service for several fishing trips to Joulters Cay. Both Diane and Rodney were full of interesting stories about Andros and its fascinating history and culture. In addition to our adventures with them, we found plenty to do within walking distance of Knoll's Landing, including snorkeling in the bay, swimming at Money Point, birding in the estuary, and exploring the beach and nearby ponds. After a week, we felt like family. We highly recommend Knoll's Landing for serious flyfishers and, especially, for those who want to bring along non-fishing members of the family. It was a perfect choice for us!
Correction: The flight was $300 one way for FIVE of us, or $60 each, from Nassau Airport to the airport on North Andros for our stay on North Andros Island. Sea kayaks, enough to fit three people, are also available at Knolls's Landing, as are two adult and one child's bicycle. When the weather allows, which is most of the time, Rodney provides bonefishing guide services. His boat is on-site. Diane arranged the flights and taxi. She knows the the best restaurants and sights. We even got discounts because of her presence!
My family of five (parents, grandparents, grandson) just returned from a 5-night stay in the cottage just after Christmas 2010. Diane's beautiful property is right on the beach. It is located on a long, rutted dirt road, 10 miles from the nearest settlement. The cottage is nicely furnished and decorated with a nautical theme. We are not bonefishermen (and it was too windy during our stay to even try), but we found plenty of activities to keep us occupied: walks on the beach, a long bike ride to Nichols Town, snorkeling, book reading, scuba diving at Forfar Field Station (C-card or prior resort course required).
Diane is a fantastic host. She and Rodney live in the house between the rental units. She is almost always accessible and she will do her best to make your stay enjoyable. She will arrange the flights from Nassau for you ($300 each way), as well as the taxi from the airport to/from her home ($40). She gave us a local cell phone to use during our stay. She also gave us a wonderful tour of North Andros in her minivan one afternoon. She has lived on the island for over 20 years. She will recommend things to do and places to go.
Helpful Notes: You should read Frommers' online description of Andros before your book, so you know what to expect. Andros is authentic Bahamas, which means it is underdeveloped. You should expect to spend most of your time relaxing in and out of the water. The property is very secluded. If you want to snorkel elsewhere, go diving, or even eat at a local restaurant, you will need to rent a car ($80/day for a car in average condition). Diane will arrange the rental car for you. Gas is $5/gallon. The "bedrooms" in the cottage are really sleeping alcoves. If your family desires more privacy, consider renting the studio and upstairs apartment instead. Water is supplied from a cistern. Hurricanes ruined the underground well years ago. You will be asked to conserve water. The kitchen is very well supplied. There are several grocery stores on the island. Expect to pay at least 75% more than you would in the States. Liquor and non-US wine, however, are inexpensive on island. We filled a suitcase with dry/canned goods, cheese, salami, and frozen meats. We only purchased milk, yogurt, eggs, and fresh fruits/vegetables on the island. The cottage has WiFi, an old TV, and a DVD player. Diane has one satellite receiver, so you watch what she watches. The cottage has a small, but well-stocked library.
KNOLL'S LANDING, North Andros If you don't like crowds or noisy cities & don't demand modern entertainment, sophisticated living or fancy dining. If you love to view the nighttime Stars, unpolluted by city lights, then you must try our peace here on North Andros. 'Fly-Fishing' in the shallow water just in front of our place. Bonefish the 'Worlds Famous Joulter Cays' miles of flats or snorkeling on our Reef in front of your accommodation. Walk miles of White Sand Beach. Relax on a lounge Chair or Hammock under the tall Coconut Palms in cool breeze. Then you have found the right place for your Vacation Holiday. The Island of Andros is the largest in the Bahamas, but is the least populated less than 9200 & very friendly people. Andros Island is an 'Angler's Paradise', with an ecology unmatched by any other island. Come see for yourself with all it's beauty. Our guests often tell us, 'When we leave Andros our hearts is still with you!' Thank you for visiting our Website. Diane Knoll at Knoll's Landing

Mike Gundy
April 8, 2014
STILLWATER – Dressed in full pads, the Oklahoma State football team held its 13th practice of spring ball Tuesday at the Sherman E. Smith Training Facility. After the approximately two hour-long session, coach Mike Gundy shared his thoughts. His comments:
Coach Mike Gundy
On what he saw in the scrimmage:
"The defense played really well today, then the offense made some big plays. Today may have been our most extensive scrimmage. We could have been up in the eighties [in number of plays] without any special teams, so we extended them a little bit and we got a lot of work with a number of players. The team stayed healthy, so I thought it was a good day. They'll get a much deserved day off tomorrow and we'll come back Thursday and have a half practice-half scrimmage then we'll probably have a full scrimmage on Friday."
On the kick return game:
"We're not doing enough in the return game to really talk about. We're teaching a number of guys certain positions on special teams, but we're just real vanilla in the return game until we get some of those other players here in August that could help us – be a backup on offense and defense and then help us contribute on special teams."
On the quarterbacks' development:
"There's not really anything that's changed. We're still running the same plays. We just haven't gotten very far, but we've continued to improve and those guys will get better, but we just haven't done much with them at this point. From a learning standpoint, it's all the same."
On the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship Game:
"Obviously, two really good teams. Those guys are impressive. That's just real basketball and they get up and down the floor."

Rights group urges more backing in Iraq raid probe
The parliamentary committee inquiry, meanwhile, is based in part on interviews with witnesses who were at the protest. It did not talk to soldiers who were at the scene because it claims it was prevented from doing so by their superior officers, according to Human Rights Watch.
The parliamentary committee report "indicates that senior officials gave orders for army, federal police, and SWAT forces, all of which fall under Maliki's military office, to invade the demonstration site, remove demonstrators and level tents," the rights group said.
While it alleges that senior officials, including al-Maliki, may have ordered the raid, "it does not address what orders they issued concerning the use of force," according to the group.
Al-Maliki's spokesman, Ali al-Moussawi, denied that any orders were given to fire on protesters.
"There is no need to ask who issued the orders, because those orders did not exist in the first place," he said. As evidence, he said security forces nearest the protesters were armed only with water cannons and batons.
Members of the parliamentary committee could not immediately be reached for comment. Shiite lawmaker Hakim al-Zamili said the ad hoc committee originally included both Sunni and Shiite lawmakers, but the Shiites withdrew because they felt the members were jumping to conclusions prematurely and laying blame only on the government. He predicted that the sectarian makeup of the panel now would likely overshadow its findings.
Al-Mutlaq, who leads the separate ministerial committee, said he believes security forces used excessive force at Hawija. Western diplomats in Baghdad have also cited concerns about the large number of people killed among the protesters and the thoroughness of the ministerial investigation into the incident.
Al-Mutlaq has in the past clashed with al-Maliki, whose Shiite-led administration has been the target of more than four months of anti-government demonstrations led by the country's Sunni Arab minority. But unlike several other senior Sunnis, he continues to serve in the government, and he was chosen by al-Maliki to lead the probe into the Hawija incident.

"West Indies Tour Guide" Portsmouth by wakejunkie
Portsmouth Travel Guide: 2 reviews and 13 photos
Dominica is a great place to visit if you're into beautiful waterfalls, rainforests, or kick-ass hiking with the greatest views. I'm actually living here now for med school so of all the islands, I know this one the best. Whenever I get the chance, I rent a car and see something new but I do have my favorites. Dominica isn't known for it's beaches but if you're an adventurer, you can definately find some gems like Aba Wavine Cyrique. Alot of locals don't even know about this place. Just imagine a waterfall misting down onto a completely secluded sand beach with nice swells. Situated on the Altantic side, this is the only place I've found to surf without getting slammed over rocks. There's just one catch, to get to the beach, you must first hike down a hundred some foot cliff. Don't worry, there's a rope and plenty of roots to hold onto. I've been down with ladies and new hikers alike and no LifeFlight was needed.
The locals here are very friendly, English speaking, and helpful with directions. There aren't any names for the streets so as you'll have to ask many people along the way if you're looking for something specific. I don't recommend driving around here for several reasons. One is left-hand driving which is the easiest to get used to. The real problem is the sahpe of the roads down here. If you're lucky you might end up on a double wide road. In US standards this is a one lane driveway. Nevertheless, here where two cars can pass, they will, even with inches to spare at 80km a piece in opposite directions. And don't think you can just hit the ditch, each side of the road is a two feet deep gutter to manage the torrential rain. Just hire a guide, a taxi, or jump in a bus. The buses look like long minivans and are very cheap to ride. Problem is you gotta know when to tell them to stop and they only run down one road (the one that goes around the island). As soon as you tell the bus driver where you want to go, your bus just turned into a cab and the price went up. All the locals know the set rate for everything, so ask prices before you do something. It helps if you pay in ECs (Eastern Caribbean Dollars) because you could pass as a local and lower the price. As a guideline expect to pay $20 EC for every 15 minutes of transport in a taxi. By the way, $1 USD = $2.67 ECD.
Rainy season here is from June to about October. Keep your flight plans flexible in case of rain. There are only three airlines that come here: American Airlines, Caribbean Star/Sun, and LIAT (Luggage In Another Terminal). LIAT is the cheapest but not as reliable. Air Dominica is new but hasn't got off the ground as of yet. The airport here doesn't have lights so if it's storming, good luck landing cause they won't do it and you might end up in Antigua for the night (best case) or sleeping in the San Juan airport (worse case). As should be a rule everywhere you travel, keep an open mind to the oddities you experience and go with it. On my first flight here, our landing was postponed because of a loose dog on the runway.

GOP lawmakers seek updated 'official time' report
Tuesday - 3/25/2014, 2:37pm EDT
Two Republican members of the House want to know how many hours federal employees are spending on union-related business while on the job.
That information is contained in an annual report published by the Office of Personnel Management. But it's been more than year since OPM has provided updated statistics on employees' use of "official time" and the most recent available data is from 2011. Federal workers spent a total of nearly 3.4 million hours working on union activities that year, the most since 2004.
Reps. Dennis Ross (R-Fla.) and Phil Gingrey (R-Ga.) wrote to OPM Director Katherine Archuleta urging the agency to release updated data.
"Since taxpayers pay the salary of all federal employees, they have a right to know how much of their money is used for conducting union business while on the clock," Ross said in a statement provided by his office.
Will OPM release report this year?
OPM has published a report on the use of official time annually since 2002.
But Ross and Gingrey, two of the most skeptical members of Congress when it comes to federal employees' use of official time, said they are concerned OPM may phase out publication of the report altogether.
In their letter, Ross and Gingrey noted Archuleta's testimony before a Senate committee last July on her nomination to head OPM, in which she said she couldn't commit to continuing to publish the official time report. She said she would look into it if confirmed.
"Your testimony raised concerns that you are not committed to the production of an annual official time report," the letter stated.
Meanwhile, Gingrey and Ross said they haven't heard from OPM on when — or even whether — the report detailing official time through the end of fiscal 2012 will be released.
"We feel sure that you would agree that continued and timely preparation of these reports is necessary to provide transparency in the use of official time and provide oversight of taxpayer dollars," they wrote in the March 24 letter to Archuleta. "Failure to provide an official time report could contribute to a further erosion of trust in the federal government, as it seems to suggest that the government is unwilling to account for how its employees spend their workday."
The letter asked OPM to release the report by April 18.
Federal News Radio has requested comment from OPM.
Unions say official time vital
Congress authorized the use of official time in the 1978 Civil Service Reform Act. Federal-employee unions say it is a vital part of the federal collective bargaining system. Federal employees' use of official time must be approved by managers and cannot be spent on internal union business, according to OPM. Instead, employees must be performing what OPM calls representational tasks, such as participating in labor- management forums or hearing employee complaints.
In 2011, federal employees spent nearly 3.4 million hours working on union activities. That averages out to about 2.8 hours of union-related work per employee for a total cost of more than $155.7 million. Still, OPM noted the costs amount to one-tenth of 1 percent of the total cost of federal employees' salary and benefits in 2011 and "can contribute in meaningful ways to the ability of federal employees to carry out their duties on behalf of the American people."
Critics of the practice, however, point out that the use of and costs associated with official time grew in 2011, equating to a year's worth of work for more than 1,600 employees.

In baby/bump-watch news we actually care about, Victoria's Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio gave birth to a baby girl last night in her native Brazil. Joy! The father of the little Anja Louise Ambrosio is Alessandra's boyfriend, businessman Jamie Mazur, who she's been dating since 2005. They're kind of disgustingly cute together, right? Right. The 27-year-old supermodel continued modeling during her pregnancy (this was her first), but lest the world forget how super she is, she will walk in the Victoria's Fashion show in November. Heidi Klum's not the only one who can do stuff like that. (And yes, photos for the baby are up for grabs, but the proceeds go to the MS Children's fund.)

NEWSCAST: Allen West Loses Recount Hearing
By Kelley Mitchell
Two strikes and he may be out. A second judge has ruled that he will not hear GOP Congressman Allen West's request for a recount, virtually assuring Patrick Murphy of the District 18 Congressional seat. It happened in St. Lucie County Circuit Court and the judge is Dan Vaughn -- the audio from the courtroom is a little tough to hear, but we do have his official ruling. Basically the judge came to the same conclusion as an earlier Palm Beach County judge, that the court does not have the authority to hear the motion. West's attorneys filed an amended motion Friday morning asking for a full recount of more than 37,000 votes.

Director of Undergraduate Studies and Senior Lecturer in the History of Christianity; Associate Faculty in the Department of History
MSL (Pontifical Institute of Mediaeval Studies)
MA, PhD (University of Toronto)
Lucy Pick is a historian of medieval religious thought and practice. Her current research and teaching interests include the relationships between gender and religion, connections between historical writing and theology, the development of monastic thought and practice, reading and writing as spiritual exercises, and the ways in which religion shapes lives through ritual. Her book, Conflict and Coexistence: Archbishop Rodrigo and the Muslims and Jews of Thirteenth-Century Spain, discusses Jewish, Christian, and Muslim relations in thirteenth-century Toledo by making connections between the political theology, historical and polemical writings, scholarly patronage, and politics of Archbishop Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada (1209-1247) and shows how majority groups define themselves by framing and reframing discourses about minority theological competitors. Dr. Pick is currently working on a monograph studying the intersection of gender, politics, and religion in the Middle Ages by examining the careers of royal women in early medieval Spain, especially their role as consecrated virgins, to discover in what their power consisted, from where it was derived, and how it was represented.
Her first novel, Pilgrimage, was published this summer. It is a story about the Middle Ages that explores betrayal, friendship, illness, miracles, healing, and redemption on the road to Compostela.

Come to our WEDNESDAY LUNCH on Wednesday, October 29, to hear Dr. Pick talk about Pilgrimage, pilgrimage, and writing historical fiction.

Russia Raises Grain Export Forecast as the Crop Rebounds
July 21 (Bloomberg) -- Russia raised its grain export forecast to 18 million metric tons in the marketing year that started July 1 as the crop rebounds after last year's drought, Agriculture Minister Yelena Skrynnik said.
"We will regain our position in the global grain market," Skrynnik said in Moscow today. The grain crop may come to between 85 million and 90 million tons, enough to meet domestic needs and allow for exports, she said.
Russia resumed exports this month after banning overseas sales last August amid the worst drought in at least 50 years. The ministry's latest export forecast rose from 15 million to 17 million tons, according to a statement on June 30. Russia's grain crop fell to 60.9 million tons in 2010.

Justin Bieber loves to smoke marijuana so much that the troubled pop star turned his van into a weed bunker on wheels, and RadarOnline.com has the exclusive photos of him partying in it with on-again-off-again girlfriend Selena Gomez.
According to an insider, the group drank beer and smoked weed on the way to Knott's Scary Farm in Buena Park, Calif., one September night in 2012, with all the party favors provided by Bieber, 20.
EXCLUSIVE PHOTOS: Justin Bieber & Selena Gomez Smoking Weed & Drinking In Van Before Hitting Theme Park
"They hotboxed and drank Heinekens from the fridge Justin keeps in the van," the source told Radar.
"There was no bong or anything, just Justin rolling his own burrito-sized joints. I mean, f**king huge."
The photos obtained exclusively by Radar feature Bieber and Gomez, 21, with pals including Secret Life of the American Teenager actress Francia Raisa and one of the "Come & Get It" singer's backup dancers, Charity Baroni.
PHOTOS: Justin Bieber Has Double Dinner Date With Kendall Jenner & Hailey Baldwin
"Everyone smoked, including Selena," the source said.
"We smoked at least six joints and were high as a kite by the time we rolled into Knotts."
As Radar exclusively reported in Feb., Gomez entered into a secret rehab stint the month before after realizing what a bad influence on-again-off-again boyfriend, Bieber, had been on her.
PHOTOS: Selena Gomez & Justin Bieber Reunite For Her Birthday
"Selena came to understand just what a bad influence Justin had been on her life," said one source. "Their relationship left her broken-hearted."
"I don't know whether Justin pushed her to drug use, but amongst their close knit group of friends, smoking was common place," said another insider.
"Justin and Selena would smoke marijuana together regularly."
PHOTOS: Justin Bieber Snaps Pics Of Sexy Selena Gomez In Cabo
And while a rep for Gomez confirmed the treatment to Radar — "Selena voluntarily spent time at Meadows but not for substance abuse," a spokesperson revealed — a source close to Gomez has revealed that in the months before her stint in rehab, she had been "partying very hard."

Pentax Cameras
Here are all of our Pentax 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-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-3 II
24.4 megapixel, Pro SLR, Non-Zoom
Released May 2015
First Shots
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-50
16.3 megapixel, SLR, 3.06x Zoom
Released July 2013
First Shots
Pentax K-500
16.3 megapixel, SLR, 3.06x Zoom
Released July 2013
First Shots
Pentax K-S1
20.1 megapixel, SLR, 3.06x Zoom
Released September 2014
Pentax K-S2
20.1 megapixel, SLR, 2.78x Zoom
Released February 2015
Now Shooting!
Pentax MX-1
12.0 megapixel, Mid-Sized, 4.00x Zoom
Boasting top-notch build quality and retro-styled design, the Pentax MX-1 enthusiast compact combines timeless styling with modern niceties such as a tilting LCD screen, fast 4x optical zoom lens, RAW still image capture and Full HD movie recording. Though the 1/1.7-inch imaging sensor might not produce photos that rival those from larger sensor cameras, the image quality from the MX-1 -- especially at lower ISOs -- remains quite pleasing. It's a great compact backup for serious photographers, and a serious step-up for advanced beginners.
Released February 2013
Express Review
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
Released August 2013
First Shots
Pentax WG-3
16.0 megapixel, Compact, 4.00x Zoom
Released March 2013
Pentax WG-3 GPS
16.0 megapixel, Compact, 4.00x Zoom
The Pentax WG-3 GPS packs in some ultra-cool features -- such as its Digital Microscope mode, front LCD gauge readout and inductive charging mode -- and a radical, rugged design. Unfortunately though, for us it just didn't pack in enough image quality, performance and usability. Though the camera took decent pictures underwater and on dry land, it struggled in low-light situations despite being equipped with an f/2 max aperture at wide angle. Moreover, we found the WG-3 GPS's menu system was difficult to learn. The WG-3 GPS still should hold appeal to adventurers who favor ruggedness and style over ultimate image quality.
Released March 2013
Express Review
Pentax X-5
16.0 megapixel, EVF, 26.00x Zoom
The Pentax X-5 is a versatile, all-in-one superzoom camera with an impressive 26x optical zoom, offering 22-580mm equivalent range. Images with good lighting are surprisingly crisp, even at full tele, but the camera doesn't fare as well in low lighting and it's frustratingly slow to use. Despite those hiccups, the X-5 remains one of the best entry-level superzoom cameras we've tested.
Released September 2012
Express Review
Pentax XG-1
16.0 megapixel, EVF, 52.00x Zoom
Released August 2014

A Wong Kar Wai Film.
|In Wong Kar Wai's debut English language feature, the internationally acclaimed director takes his audience on a dramatic journey across the distance between heartbreak and a new beginning.
After a rough break-up, Elizabeth (played by songstress Norah Jones in her screen debut) sets out on a journey across America, leaving behind a life of memories, a dream and a soulful new friend; a cafe owner (Jude Law) -- all while in search of something to mend her broken heart. Waitressing her way through the country, Elizabeth befriends others whose yearnings are greater than hers, including a troubled cop (David Strathairn) and his estranged wife (Rachel Weisz), and a down-on-her-luck gambler (Natalie Portman) with a score to settle.
Through these individuals, Elizabeth witnesses the true depths of loneliness and emptiness, and begins to understand that her own journey is part of a greater exploration within herself.
"...has the same dreamy, romantic melancholy that distinguishes Wong's best films. Ken Fox, TV Guide
"Wildly romantic. Mick LaSalle, San Francisco Chronicle
"Captures the overwhelming and uncontrollable emotional assault of loving and living... Sean Axmaker, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"...a stylish and sweet film with moments of affecting brilliance... Shawn Levy, Portland Oregonian
Editor's NoteWith his first English-language film, beloved Hong Kong director Wong Kar-wai's touch loses none of the seductive luster and magic that made his Chinese films so popular. MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS follows the fortunes of Elizabeth (Norah Jones), who after having been left by her boyfriend, sets out across America to find herself and recover. She makes a stop in Memphis, where she pulls double-duty at a diner by day and a bar at night, and watches the disintegration of another pair of troubled lovers (David Strathairn and Rachel Weisz). She moves on to Nevada where she befriends a vivacious card player and smalltime hustler (a delightfully saucy Natalie Portman) who challenges her notions of contentment. However, it is New York City and the arms of an English café owner (Jude Law) for which Elizabeth's heart truly longs and ultimately returns. While MY BLUEBERRY NIGHTS isn't Wong's best film--as it suffers from some clunky, heavy-handed dialogue and some frustratingly broad performances--it still contains all of the hallmarks of his aesthetic, and is therefore hard not to fall for. The film is undeniably beautiful, and features the director's trademark visual sense: shimmering neons, lush chiaroscuro, and swirling slow-motion images. It makes for a seductive view of America, one populated by swaggering, yet deeply melancholic drifters that listen to Otis Redding and Ruth Brown, drink too much, and love even more. The sadness and tears that emerge from America's taverns in the wee hours are as breathtakingly alluring as its natural landscapes. In Wong's hands, everything is cast in the light of joy-life and death, suffering and happiness-and the same goes for his understanding of America. Whether this America ever existed is wholly irrelevant; for when you watch a Wong movie, you happily enter his country, wherever that may be.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 11/15/14
Ike Davis needs to pull it all together for an entire season. Let's assume for a moment – and this isn't much of a reach – the Mets don't do anything for the remainder of the winter. How then, can the Mets be competitive if another assumption that R.A. Dickey won't be back? A lot of things must happen, beginning with David Wright regaining his power stroke. If he does, and Johan Santana has a good year, that's only the beginning. So much else has to happen in terms of their young players having breakout seasons. It could happen. It has before. JOSH THOLE: I won't be going out on a limb if I said Thole would again be the starting catcher. As much as there's talk of the Mets needing a catcher, they have more pressing needs, such as the bullpen and outfield. Those areas must be addressed first. Thole made a good first impression hitting .321 in 2009 with his bat control, ability to work a count and go to the opposite field. Maybe he was corrupted by watching others with no plate presen...

Beyond the basics: advanced Mac keyboard tricks
If you're like most Mac users, you probably don't give your keyboard much thought: You press a key, it relays that key-press to your system, and that's all there is to it. But there can, in fact, be much more to it, if you take avantage of OS X's support for multiple keyboard layouts.
When you initially set up your Mac, the OS X Setup Assistant gives you the option of choosing a default keyboard layout. Many users never deviate from that initial choice. You can, however, choose a different keyboard layout any time you want. For instance, if you're composing in French, you might be better off using AZERTY instead of the standard QWERTY. Same goes for composing in non-Roman alphabets, such as Chinese or Russian: You can switch your keyboard layout to any number of those. And many users prefer to use the Dvorak (or other alternative) layout for more efficient typing.Read more »

I'm just wondering what's keeping my withdrawal from coming in to my Paypal account. I made an "All earnings" withdrawal for February earnings. Last March 1, I received an email that my earnings for February have been calculated but until now I still haven't received it.
I'm curious because for the previous months it didn't take this long.
All withdrawals are issued on the 15th of the following month (except when the 15th falls on a weekend or public holiday, in which case it is issued on the next business day).
Yeah the policy changed at the beginning of the year… once you get into the "cycle" you get paid the 15th of every month so you never go more than a month (just like before) without getting paid…
I see. I think I got a little confused.
Heh, you're not the only one rkquest so don't worry. But to be honest – I don't know how this look in case of native English speakers, but for "foreigners" speaking English as second (or third) language, these FAQs and "technical" language seems troubling – I might suggest creating "a withdrawal guide for dummies" or something like that
Sorry for the confusion, guys. To reiterate, you'll be paid on March 15th for all earnings from February.
I asked this question on the blog but my comment seems to be moderated. So, why is it for whole month from 1st day to last day? You have to wait for 2 weeks for money from March. It should be from 14th of previous month to 14th day of current month, so you can have money next day

How does studying logic improve our reasoning ability?
1 Answer | Add Yours
The Greek Philosophers did a good job of classifying and clarifying the way we use our brains. Logic is, etymologically, connected with how we use words (logos), and fallacies (falsehoods) can be uttered by language; rhetoric deals with the connotations of words and utterances; ethos deals with "right and wrong" behavior (in the public arena). Studying, really studying, these elements is invaluable, perhaps even essential, to our ability to "reason."
