Open Enrollment means students living in Douglas and Sarpy counties may apply to attend any public elementary, middle or high school in the Learning Community.
Open Enrollment is meant to improve academic achievement for disadvantaged students. The goal is to increase socioeconomic diversity in Learning Community schools.
No. If you wish, your children may continue attending their neighborhood school.
Any parent, guardian or emancipated minor may apply for Open Enrollment when the student lives in Douglas or Sarpy counties.
You may apply online, download a printable application, or request an application at any school district office. Submit a separate application for each child.
The deadline to apply is 5 p.m. on March 15. If you wish to apply in person, and the deadline falls on a weekend or school holiday, drop the application off at the school district office of your preferred school by 5 p.m. on the prior school day. If submitting by mail, the application must be postmarked by March 15.
Yes. You may apply to as many as three schools per school district. You may apply to multiple districts using separate applications. Applying online requires only one application.
Districts will determine how much space they have available by March 1. Available space is based on guidelines established by the Learning Community Coordinating Council, taking into account staffing, space, class sizes and a district's growth needs. Contact the district for the most current information.
The district to which you apply will make the decision and notify you by April 5.
First priority goes to siblings of students who will be enrolled as continuing students in the school. Second priority goes to students who contribute to the socioeconomic diversity of the school. Third priority is all other applicants. If limited space is available, third priority will be chosen by a lottery.
On the application, you will indicate whether your family qualifies for free or reduced-price school lunch. Eligibility guidelines are available from your school district or online at www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/Lunch. For example, a family of four earning $44,123 or less per year would qualify. The district would then decide whether enrolling your child would help reach its diversity goal.
No. All qualified applicants will be considered at the same time – after the application period closes. In fact, you may want to wait to apply until districts determine which schools have room. Districts will determine how much space they have available by March 1. Contact districts for the most current information.
Districts will notify you by April 5. You must accept enrollment offers by April 25 or lose the slot. You may accept only one school for each child.
No, once a child is accepted into a building within a district, he or she remains within that district until graduation or a family decides to no longer attend that district. When an Open Enrollment child finishes elementary or middle school in the district, you will have to notify the district so your child can continue school at the next level. The school district will notify you regarding continuation and building availability.
Yes, as long as your Open Enrollment application is filed by March 15, you notify the district of acceptance by April 25, and you meet all other eligibility requirements of the Nebraska School Activities Association.
It depends. Siblings must attend the same school at the same time to receive the sibling priority. If the older child currently attends the desired school this year but will move up next year to middle or high school, the younger sibling has no claim to a priority status.
No. Districts will assign their resident students to schools first, including resident students transferring to a new school within their district. After that, districts will assign Open Enrollment students. However, even in your own district, some buildings or special academic programs could be closed to residents because of high demand or neighborhood overcrowding.
Students are more likely to receive free transportation if they live more than a mile from the school, are applying to a district that shares a common border with your home district (see list of districts with common borders) and any of the following: qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, attend a magnet school or focus school, or contribute to school socioeconomic diversity.
The districts will determine bus routes and stops after April 25.
This is determined by each district. State law provides for reimbursement under certain circumstances.
You can still apply using Option Enrollment. Contact the district you wish to attend for details.
The best way to know you've made the right decision is to visit schools. After exploring schools online, call schools directly to schedule visits and speak with principals.
Every school district has an Open Enrollment Coordinator to help you. Find contact information here.
Conozca las Inscripciónes Abiertas para los grados Kinder hasta el grado 12.
The power of school choice pays off for families like Ruth and her son Micah.
It's easy. Narrow your choices and then submit an application online.

Maurice Maréchal is the author of the series 'Prudence Petitpas', a series about an old lady who does detective work. Born in Waremme, Maréchal got in touch with publisher Le Lombard magazine through his neighbour Raymond Macherot in 1957. Prudence Petitpas and her cat, Stanislas, made their first appearance in Tintin in that same year. Several stories were published in this magazine until 1969. Maréchal made his stories alone or in cooperation with scenario writers like René Goscinny, Raymond Macherot, Greg and Mittéï.
Maréchal then dropped of from the comics radar for several years, because of his dayjob as a teacher in French and Spanish languages at the Athénée Royal de Verviers. When he retired from his dayjob, Maréchal made five new stories with 'Prudence Petitpas', this time published in the magazine Spirou. Maurice Maréchal passed away in Polleur, Belgium, in 2008.

Welp. Since no-one on reddit was interested, I'll let you have Achron if you want it.Rather Dashing;572040 said:As much as I'd absolutely love Achron, I really don't have anything of value to trade.
I also already have E.Y.E. and Battlefront II, so the prospect of the trade doesn't come off as nicely as it would if I didn't.
Ah what the hell, anyone else who wants E.Y.E or Battlefront II can have it.
Just send me a PM and add me on Steam.
I'm feelin' generous.
EDIT: RatherDashing has got his Achron.
The other two are still available.
EDIT 2: Battlefront II taken.
Just E.Y.E to give away now.
Don't forget to add me on Steam so I can gift it to you!lovetodo22;572171 said:I'll take EYE.

Homefront (with its lazy-ass price conversion)

Also worth noting the price for the Assassin's Creed Pack hasn't updated to take the reduced prices into account, so (in the UK, at least) it's cheaper to buy them individually.
Dungeon Defenders +all DLC and expansion to Two Worlds 2 bought.
About time, something I wanted came on sale there... XD
wow good day today.
I won two free games from achievements.
Of course Ive heard of neither
Drakensang and The First Templar - Steam Special Edition.

Oh for trading, all I currently want is Binding of Isaac. I will trade one of my games, for Binding of Isaac, the other game Ill think about.

Pentax K-5 II Review
Latest Camera Reviews
Panasonic Lumix DMC-G80 Review
Your Comments
59 Comments | Newest Oldest First | Post a Comment
Pentax has the ability to make a great camera at a great price. Dollar for dollar, this seems to match up against any of the Canon and Nikon offerings.
Also, I am guessing this was a pretty easy review to prepare.
ISO 512,000, WHO DO THEY THINK THEY'RE KIDDING? They take a decent camera and turn it into the biggest joke yet in the industry!
What a stupid thing to do with what looks like a decent camera. Can't these companies see how stupid this is getting?
... Joe Prete
Why does the sample images open at modem speed when opening them individually? plz speed this up because it's very annoying.
Thanks for the review, but I felt it was a little lacking in the autofocus areas. I think at most it was called "snappier". Most of this camera, by your own admission, is exactly like the K-5, so a bit more time spent on the differences, namely the new autofocus, would have been appreciated.
Maybe ISO 512000 is a printing error; must be ISO 51200?
Yes Vessa,
Thank you, I put an extra zero, just like Mark did in the review, in my haste to complain and in disbelief, I made a mistake. It's ISO range should read 100-25,600 With an extra high at 51,200 BUT the point is still the same.
The noise at 12,800 is probably pushing the limits but to add a 25,600 as a high and an extra high at 51,200 is insane. I feel very sorry for people that believe these claims. The idea of adding a High setting should have been stopped, because that lead to an EXTRA HIGH setting. These settings lose their meaning when they play with the numbers like this.
Like Mark said, the High that NIKON set should have drawn the line. Who is Pentax to start changing the standards. ISO stood for International Standards Organization and it was originally to rate film speed. This is getting out of hand. It needs to be stopped.
... Joe Prete
Good review. Seems to be an impressive pro DX camera. I am using a Nikon D300s at the moment but there is no pro DX camera on the horizon from Nikon or Canon (the D300 sensor is 5 years old). The K5II is also a lot smaller than the competition and that may eliminate the need for a quality compact system (for me). More info on the AF system would been useful as somebody pointed out before, especially 'focus tracking ability'. Cheers, Hans
The NIKON D300 sensor may be old, but it still keeps up with the best of them. It's more the processor that matters, but all of this is really overkill.
... Joe Prete
To #3 Paste, maybe it's stuck! .. Sorry… just kidding!
Just so you know JoePrete, the ISO range is the same as the original K5, so you're about 2 years late in complaining about that. Besides, having it there as an option is better than not (since you could just not use it), as long as you don't really expect it to be anything close to usable.
You're saying that the same ISO settings were there on the original release? I don't remember reading that, but this camera wouldn't have even caught my eye if I didn't see Mark doing a review on it. I think that these settings, giving false expectations to people who may not know better is what gives this industry a very bad reputation, and they shouldn't get away with it. That is what the standards are for in the first place. They defeat the purpose. It just shouldn't get passed the I.S.O.
... Joe Prete
My Canon G10 has an ISO 1600 setting that makes 51200 on the K5 look fantastic. The quality is horrible, yet I'm grateful it is there because I use that setting all the time. In B&W mode, in dark bars, at night, the files have a coarse, film-like grain that I prefer very much to not getting the shot at all.
I would be very, very happy if my D3x went above ISO 6400, and also below ISO 50. More options = more flexibility, more creative opportunities, noise be damned!
Pentax should refund my K-7.
I agree with Zilther. I want companies to offer ISOs at 50 and lower. It's not just about the pixel quality; I accept that 200 ISO today is probably as sharp as 100 ISO two years ago. But the ISO is the third part of the exposure triangle and having higher low-end ISOs reduces your flexibility.
I also agree with the gist of the other comments - more info needed on that improved autofocus system. It could be the deal maker.
You're like the definition of a brandfag.
Totally mad because Pentax is pulling more out the same Sony sensors. And having more options is never a bad thing in my opinion.
Btw, have a look at the ISO Performance of the Fuji X-Pro1 compared to a Nikon Full-Frame-Camera…
Sorry for your condition. The Fuji EXR Cameras are great, for Bridge cameras. They just wouldn't cut it in the real world. I use the D3s and the D700's daily, my partner Hank uses the D3X and the D4. The D800 that we bought is collecting dust. If you're happy with this little Pentax, by all means, go ahead and buy it.
I'm sure you'll get good use out of it. It does seem that the International Standards Organization (ISO) exists in name only, and doesn't regulate anything. Before we went Global, the (ASA) American Standards Association did police the manufacturers. That may have been before your time. By the way, you do know that I just watch these reviews to get people to start writing in, don't you. It's just a bit of a mixer to get things going. This Pentax does seem like a good entry level DSLR, but it will take them time to recover. That's what RICOH was for. They sell way more office copiers than cameras though. Good luck to you.
Nice job Mark,
... Joe Prete
Digital Photo Magazine didn't even mention the ISO on this camera!
... Joe Prete
Hi all. Ive been a Pentax user for years and own a K5 Mk1. Its a really great camera. I'm very happy with the button layout and metering etc. The screw focus on the lenses can be a bit loud and the auto focus can hunt a bit until the focus assist led comes on. But that's only in a near dark room.
Only other niggles are sometimes colours can bleed over if the settings are pushed to hard especially blue on red. Generally though Excellent JPEGs and RAWS.
For me, the K5 Mk2 isn't enough of an upgrade.
Pentax is a good brand. Its up to the individual. If your in the mix for a new DSLR, the Pentax is a great camera for stills, but not so hot for video, so be aware of that before you part with your money. I predominantly use a Pentax DA 50m F2.4 prime. Even when the sun sets, I've only needed to push the ISO to 1600. I own many of the older Pentax A and M lenses. You can pick them up for 20 quid on auction sites and they produce some stunning pics and a great introduction into understanding what to do with a lens. I would advise to treat some of the comments written above as crap.
I remember when the Pentax K mount was THE camera for students wether in High School, College or in Photography school. If you wanted to learn the right way, you bought the Pentax. Now they can be bought for pennies on the dollar. Just look at KEH camera Brokers. It just seemed like they couldn't keep up when cameras became more digital, than optical. If a company needs a lens, there are plenty of third party suppliers, like Panasonic found an excellent lens to make them very competitive. JVC never made the lenses for all those camcorders, but they are excellent lenses & Camcorders.
It does sound like you are putting up with your K5 MK I. You're not alone, you get use to the camera and then you wont feel the difference until you try something else. Maybe it will wind up being a back up camera. I still have a D300 & D200 that work fine, but they don't keep up with the newer technology. I will tell you that you shouldn't have to make excuses for your camera.
Just in your message above, you say it's a great camera, then a couple of sentences in your listing things that you're putting up with. With so much competition, maybe it's time for something new. One thing that's better than reviews is actually using it first.
Maybe renting it first for a week or two will give you the real information, what matters to you! I try not to buy until the Firmware updates come out. Let them work the bugs out first. The rental fees are not bad. I've rented lenses that I only need for a one or two time use. I hope the next one works out well for you. Take a look at dp review also. Good Luck Andy,
... Joe Prete
Hi there! The camera is so nice and comes in a highly rate.
I don't know if you realize this because I never hear any comments about it, but if you look at the Header for these cameras, you will see "Videos" which will bring you to youtube.com video reviews of each camera. Please, make use of it, you may get a better impression of the camera, if you see it in action. #9 is the video for this one.
...Joe Prete
Well done, Pentax!!!
Joe, I'm more and happy with my Pentax and certainly NOT putting up with it.
No camera is perfect. Above are the only niggles I've found. I've had the honor of owning many a Pentax camera and enjoy having an alternative to the others. I've also worked out in the field with other brands too. Pentax is the reliable friend I always go back to, along with my lovely Olympus XZ-1.
Maybe you're not aware that their actually are some people out here in the world who know what they're doing.
joe joe joe joe joe iso iso iso
I'm glad you're happy with it despite your complaints. I use the Nikon D700 & THE D3s on a daily basis. I can't complain about either one. Especially the D700, it handles just like the D300 that it was modeled after. I do use Nikon's Wrist Grips on all of them. They make the D700 with the MD10 fit like a glove. I've never felt a camera that balanced so well for me. To read your post it sounds like you would have a few things different on the camera. Well, to each, his own! Have a Happy Thanksgiving,
... Joe Prete
Kodak scientist and inventor of the "BAYER RGB FILTER"
Dr BRYCE BAYER has passed away at age 83, one of the Fathers of Digital imaging, ironic that this comes after Kodak has reached the end of the line, a film company that couldn't make it in a market that it helped to create. His inventions helped to pave the way for cameras that we use every day. These days 83 seems too young.
Our little disputes don't seem too important when you look at the bigger picture. ... Joe Prete
I'll say one thing for Pentax, they've done a nice job on their web site at http://pentaximaging.com/products/elements Their 645 is starting to look like my (film) Mamiya 645PRO but their Digital is a lot more affordable than all the other brands.
At the top, it does say Pentax Camera a Ricoh Company
... Joe Prete
I'm a bit confused about the video comments in this review. Hard to start? You change to video mode, click the shutter button to start and then to stop. The shutter button also does the AF unless I'm mistaken, just like on my K-5.
Is it hard to switch from Sv to Av for taking pictures? Or from M to Bulb? I don't see where the hard part is. Is video a magical mode that need to be able to start much faster than just taking a picture?
As said earlier, the K-5 also has these ISO settings, and Pentax isn't lying any more than other brands these days when it comes to max ISO and how useful it is.
The K-5 II/IIs isn't enough of an upgrade for me as I have the K-5. But I'm considering the K-30 for a second body as it's weather sealed like the K-5/II/IIs, but has better video and is better for manual focus with live view and focus peaking (will be used with an LCDVF). But I'll wait for the next announcement from Pentax first as I believe a camera above the K-5 II/IIs is coming with the 24 megapixel Sony sensor that has all these things in one body.
That's fine, the other's who commented on the extra ISO settings "they don't have to be used if you don't want to, but it's better to have them just in case, even if it will show the noise" (Forgive me if it's not word for word, I couldn't find it now, but that was the point)
The thing is, Nikon, Canon and Fujifilm settings can all be used for acceptable photographs. Also, to save a photo that there isn't enough light for, you can also use the under/over exposure adjustment, or set it to a slower shutter speed, or in the case of NIKON, you can use the D-LIGHTING in camera processing function that is done easily on the rear LCD. I've come to rely on Nikon, but I'm sure Canon has a similar tool. In the end you can also try to save it with your post processing software.
As far as the function of this camera, the others that wrote in should be able to explain it because they use it and as ANDY said, he has no problems at all with the Pentax Camera. like you said, there is not that much different from this camera and the previous model. I agree with that statement, from what I read.
Also, as I commented before, Mark Goldstein who does these reviews links them to Youtube reviews that he doesn't do, but he picks out acceptable ones. It's #9 in the review contents list. Watching the video's may answer your questions. I hope that helps you Alexander. You can try at dpreview also.
Of all the Photographers that I know, I can't recall one that shoots Pentax Like the others, they make Optical and Medical equipment as well maybe even Binoculars too.. That's why they were obtained by RICOH, to save the Photographic division. I hope they succeed. I looked, I have one k mount manual SLR and one Film Zoom "IQ160" I hate to see a company with such a history go under.
Good Luck,
... Joe Prete
Like I said, I use NIKON, Fujifilm an Canon G1 X (and the new SX50) I don't even know anyone to ask about Pentax. They may have like 1% of the Photo market for all I Know. You might try to use a NIKON, CANON or Fuji so you'll know what their ISO performance can do. I'm not sure why anyone would seek out this brand, unless they already have Lenses. Hopefully after the holiday, one of the other guys will write in again to help you. You should have asked them when they were writing in.

About the sensitivity: For the K-5, not sure about the K-5 II/IIs, you only have from ISO 100 to 12.800 available until you turn on expanded sensitivity. With it on, the range is from 80 to 51.200.
The highest sensitivities on the K-5/II/IIs is there if you absolutely have to get the shot. And from the max ISO shots I've seen on the latest Canon AND Nikon cameras, that's all those settings are good for there as well.
Here are three images I took now to show how ISO 12,800, 25,600 and 51,200 looks with no post processing except noise reduction and sharpening:
- https://www.dropbox.com/sh/x17y0qahf28lfr2/kdFqD_axCB
I only shoot manual, so EV adjustments is just me adjusting the exposure manually. Pentax does have something like D-Lighting, call Hightlight correction, and you get a minimum of ISO 160 then (double ISO 80 which is the absolute lowest you can get on the various K-5 cameras). But sometimes the only way is higher ISO, then it's nice to have that, so why not have it? It's better than nothing.
I only see two shots and they're outdoors of a pond and some trees (outside, even at night, a tripod will work!) I already said one of you made the point that it's better to have the extra settings. for those just in case times. You can get a noise full image, better than no image at all. (Those are snapshots b/t/w)
(Yes, it is, better to have a gun, and not need it, then to need a gun and not have it)
Of course I can't say for the Pentax, I teach Photography as well, but the Public school system is following the Colleges and Private Photography schools, in starting from the beginning. I'm glad because that's what I would have done if it was my decision. But still, there are kids (Middle school) that can't even afford a basic Pentax Kmount to learn on, so I end up paying for them myself.
(do you read any of my postings, reviews or comments) Every one knows me, wether they love me or hate me, they all know me. I shoot Professionally and use a pair of D700'S and a D3s,
my partner uses the D3X and the D4. The D800 did not appeal to me at all. The new D600 looks like trouble as well. The D3200 is great for women and kids that just want good images and they want the camera to do all the work for them.
If Pentax has caught up to the Biggies in the industry, they have done it very quietly. Also, they would have gone Bankrupt if Ricoh hadn't stepped in. btw Ricoh is much bigger in office copiers than they are cameras, but I hate to see these companies that we've known for so long, just go under (ie. KODAK) I'd rather see a merger or a takeover that keeps the name alive (ie Ricoh/Pentax, Polaroied etc.)
I'm not really sure why you had to post again, when I already admitted that it was a good point that one of you made about having he extra setting there in case it's needed, and if it works good, all the better. I am very happy for you, but all the DSLR's are Nikon and the Compacts are Canon, Fuji and Panasonic.
I use Nikon, but I can still say that the Canon technology is unbelievable, (ie. G1 X) it is equipment, not a religion. Please sir, in the future, do a little checking around before sending a barrage of posts because you feel that you need to make your point. Just reading the posts above, you could have found out that this was not necessary. I was just doing a little system maintenance today, I was not planning on working. Have a Happy Thanksgiving,

The third one popped up now. Dude, these are JPEGS taken at late Daytime, Dusk, maybe even the morning. I see the outdoor light on, but this couldn't be what you saw, when you thought it was to be a Photograph! I hope it isn't what you saw when you took these shots. I hope your "Creative side" didn't SEE this. If you had set up the Tripod, you could have taken a longer exposure. You really should have left well enough, alone!
If this is an example of the Pentax, you are in a different world than the rest of us. Don't put these JPEGs on your site, people will run, not walk away! I hope you're friends that wrote in have some better examples of what you're trying to tell me. Sorry, but you may have more problems than your camera. I'm in this 40+ years now. I've got to go, okay. Just end it now!
... Joe Prete
can you please clarify which camera was reviewed K-5 II or K-5 IIs ( without AA filter)?
That Joe fella eh? What a funny little thing he is!!
First off: The images are, like I said "three images I took now to show how ISO 12,800, 25,600 and 51,200 looks with no post processing except noise reduction and sharpening". So no, they're not something I took on a photography trip or something like that. It's not a pond btw., it's my window wide open.
If you check the EXIF info, you'll see that the image are from just after mid day (almost 14:00). They're taken in raw, opened in Adobe Camera Raw (latest version), adjusted white balance, opened further to Photoshop where I did noise reduction with Neat Image, then resized down to the resolution you see there, and sharpened. No contrast adjustment or anything else except what I wrote here.
Why chose this brand? They have fantastic image quality, for APS-C; no other brand beats them. They have fantastic lenses, and unlike others, you can have a full set of prime lenses from wide to moderate tele, and it's extremely small in size (the small size is the point I'm making here). And they're very good for the outdoors as even the basic model (the Pentax K-30) is very well sealed.
I've used both Canon and Nikon, the biggest models, and yes, the biggest models are faster, have better ISO performance, but they're pro models that cost many times more, and they're full frame, so comparing them isn't really fair. If Pentax comes with a fullframe later on, then you can compare it to the other fullframe cameras. It's kinda like saying Skoda is a bad brand to choose, cause they don't make supercars.
@Joe Prete: You are very confused. Not only about ISO. Give us a break, please.
FYI, the K-5 II leads the DxOMark table for APS-C cameras and beats a number of full-frame models as well. It has one of the best ergonomics available and while the AF isn't the best for fast sports action it is exceptionally accurate and handles -3EV. Go and find such a package anywhere else.
Reading the above review: ISO is good from 80-800, Becomes apparent at 1600 and begins to smear at 3200, very smeared at 6400 I guess that says everything that we need to know. They've been doing these review for a long time, I trust them. If anything, I think this review was more forgiving than all of the others. It's only a beginners camera, anyone can see that. They can paint any number they want on there. It is what it is. IMO, it's not much of a change from the last model.
All these guys arguing over nothing, The word is that Ricoh is just clearing out the stock and they want to start from scratch anyway.
I wouldn't really invest in these unless you want to stay with it for the long run. If you think it's that good then get them while they're here Ricoh's management made that clear from the start. At least they are being honest about it. Happy Thanksgiving weekend.
It is very important to tell that old Pentax lenses with MF work almost fast as "new" AF-lenses. There is a trick by Pentax (K10, K20 ...) & Samsung (GX10, GX20).
When using MF-lens do not turn camera-switch on MF - leave it on AF. Than press photo trigger, hold it down and turn the focus ring on lenses. At the best focus camera automatically takes a photo. With a little exercise you can take photos as fast as with AF.
I have a few Pentax old but perfect MF-lenses (besides new lenses) & I use them almost every day without problems.
Pentax have noise reduction on raw over ISO 1600. Let's hope the AF is better than the K-5 which sucked in low light
Whoa, JoePrete. If you are going to rag on Pentax for providing an extended ISO setting up to 51,200, then presumably you should rag four times as hard on Nikon for providing boosted ISO settings up to 204,800 equivalent on the D4, a setting which, judging by the samples on this site, produces images far more horrible than anything the Pentax K5 ii is capable of. It only seems fair.
Whoa, JoePrete. If you are going to rag on Pentax so hard for having an extended ISO setting up to 51,200 then presumbly you should rag on Nikon four times as hard for having boosted ISO settings up to 204,800 on the D4. A setting which, judging by the 'image quality' samples on this site, produces results far more horrible than anything the Pentax K-5 ii is capable of. It's only fair.
JoePrete "Just end it now!"
Yes please, Joe ... bugger off. Thanks.
Does Joe Prete work for Nikon? If he is so anti Pentax why is he on this site commenting? I have been using Pentax DSLRs since the K100D with excellent results. By the way, I bought my first SLR 44 years ago. I also have photographed low light wedding receptions with my K-5 at 10000 ISO with no flash with very acceptable results. It was based on internal noise reduction settings and Topaz Denoise. I use two Pentax cameras, one with flash and one without. Great results with both.
Please check position of images in section "Shake Reduction".
I took another look at it to see what all the fuss was about. The guys at the shop were glad to let me look at the Demos. They put 5 of them in stock, and opened one each up for demos. The sales so far, to date-0 Not even one. They only showed the Demo 3 times, and all three thought it was from the 80's Ugly, odd looking old beast.
Trying to be open minded, I checked the ISO. It's a real JOKE. At 1600 it was turning bad. ISO 3200 maybe, if there's nothing else to shoot with, colors bleeding into each other, Even for this money, it should have been useable. There, the price I thought they'd take something off the top. They took off $200.00
I said let me try it at 6400, They said we'll take off $300.00 with no more testing. No, I had to try, what a mess! completely smeared.
Nothing I could ever even put my time into. In clear Daylight, The colors were bleeding into each other, it looked like a kids kindergarten painting class. Very hard to believe it's this bad.
And we tried both models one I think had the A.A. filter, they were equally bad. Sorry to say, but very, very bad!
The box like look of the body, the cheap plastic, I thought it should do something good. The price, I said, no more. I wasn't going to get involved in this mess no matter how cheap it is.
There were two models of the same camera, one without the low pass filter, it made no difference. No wonder this is the only model they make, I think they're going for the mirror-less kind
of camera. maybe they'd do better making those, all lens cameras. With or without the filter I hope Ricoh can salvage something here. It's sad really, to see a good company fail like this. Hard to imagine, years ago they built them solid, strong, and most of all, precision! Where, oh where did it go? And I saw early models too, they didn't fix anything!
@H.Monetti: You are a picture book troll. The K-5 II(s) has class leading sensor performance. Scoot over to DxOMark and see how the K-5s lead the APS-C ranking. Your attempt to badmouth the best 16MP sensor in existence is just ridiculous.
Some of these comments are absolutely ridiculous. I shoot professionally with Pentax k5's and the quality is fanatastic. My images are gracing magazines, adverts, boardroom walls and many home walls. It always amazes me to see the arrogance of certain brand users, after all what are we really trying to do? We are after capturing beautiful shots. The Pentax K5 does that incredibly well in often trying conditions. The only complaint here is why it is not spoken of more as a professional or semi pro camera! I have just sold off the last of my Canon gear after seeing that the K5 outperformed my Canon 7D constantly in terms of image quality.
Owners of the Pentax K5 can be proud.
Joe, your a stuck up donkey. You are probably one of those people who tout around thousands of dollars worth of gear and still don't take good pictures. Pentax is hands down the best bang for your buck. Their cameras preform spectacularly in all condition, and their lenses are pretty good too. Honestly, I don't ever know what to say to people like you…what a loser.
Well Py,
I can see that they really mean business judging by how many Full Frame DSLRs they DON'T make!!! And you must be a very serious Photographer yourself with your APS-C camera. How many DSLRs do they make now? 2 or maybe even 3 now. WOW, HOW DO THEY EVER KEEP TRACK OF THEIR INVENTORY??? Oh yeah 1, 2, 3.
Getting bought by Ricoh was the best thing that ever happened to them. I can't wait to buy a Pentax COPY MACHINE! HA HA HA
Why don't you go back to your friends at dp you idiot! Py…
I Guedes that Mr. Joe pretty and Mr. H. Monetty are the same person. They're stupid and and poisoned comments are exactly the same after traced a simple profile of them. He is pissed off because spend a lot of money and now realize that his gear is behind a much less expensive yet better equipment.
I teach photography and work with many diferent cameras, but mine own camera is a PENTAX. I coult stand here spending time and patience taping on the smartphone the reason why is better than yours (imho), and the long pentax history even before the invention of the pentaprism, but I really don't give a sh&€t for your opinion. Feel sorrow for you mister.
Paul Asahi,
Was your family part of the company? Of course you may be too young to remember this, but the company was originally named Asahi Pentax. In fact there are still some cameras that bear that name in my old camera collection!
The only things that bother me about Pentax is that they only make (3) APS-C bodies. They may be fine, but I shoot Full Frame, so they may be of good quality, but the small sensor is of little use to me. Don't give me a reason to mock their company and I won't, fair enough?
The other thing is the 645 that they make has the worst warranty and Tech support of any medium format camera company. Even on their site, they don't show the lenses or their prices, but every where you look is the warnings "NOTICE: This Camera is not returnable under any circumstance unless it is faulty" and it is also posted many times "Where and how to send the 645 in for repair" (They make it seem like it's not if, but when) It has a good price, and I imagine it takes good images, but those warnings do not make a buyer feel secure. It sounds like "Faulty is expected".
I hope that they survive the Ricoh buyout, but both companies seem more interested in the higher profit Compact camera business. Most Camera companies do make their real money on compact cameras, so I can't blame them, but it would be nice to have a Digital 645 that most people can afford. Years ago, most people that studied Photography started with a Pentax K mount.
If my name was ASAHI I would probably have a Pentax too. But you must realize the limitations, especially now that cameras are "Electronics" rather than Optical companies. That opened the door for Sony, Panasonic, Samsung and so many others. I picture Canon and Nikon saying "remember the good old days" Fuji won the battle anyhow! I imagine you teach in a different language, because your English does need some polishing.
One other thing, can you please refrain from saying that I am someone else. My name is on my drivers license, nobody else, just me. And here in America, we have the right to free speech.
You don't need to waste your time following people around to stir up a debate. You say Pentax is the Best. That's fine with me!
Good Day,
ISO 80-100 images from this camera look amazingly clean for a crop sensor.
I would like to explain to JoePrete why you need a 51200 ISO. When shooting in very low light you can use a ISO 51200 with a lower shutter speed to frame your image. After framing switch ISO to a lower value and raise your shutter speed to take the final image.
Is a free lesson Joe.
Can you set to that ISO on a Full Frame Pentax also?
Let me know about that, ok?
Hey Florin,
While waiting to hear about the FULL FRAME Pentax, I can't help but wonder why you guys take two months to respond to a comment!! Joe hasn't even said anything to you. He hasn't even been on this page since November. Anything comes up here, he gives it to someone else to respond. A rare event, anyhow. Does it takes that long to sink in, or to think of a response. You guys are strange. Ok here, Pentax cameras are the best cameras in the whole world!!!
OK, are we good now?
While the sensitivity of 51,200 iso will produce very noisy photos by normal photographers, the feature could still be useful for surveillance work (ie police, military, gum shoes etc
Well what al lot of controversy over a camera, I sold my Nikon d7000, canon 60d, & Canon XSI they are all good cameras. Got a Pentax K-5 and really like it, It's true it does have soul…...

British Accent
These Five Fashionistas from Across the Pond Show Off a Bold and Unexpected Sense of Style
Ritzy and Risky ≫
▪ Her Look
The epitome of flamboyant Brit-chic, she's famous for working towering platforms, oversize sunglasses and vacuum-packed-tight outfits. "The skinny jean will always be a favorite of mine," Beckham, 33, told PEOPLE earlier this year.
▪ Fashion Cred
She launched the dVb denim line—featuring hotpants with a 2-in. inseam!—in August and penned a style guide that generated a surprising amount of buzz abroad. When the new L.A. resident wore Giambattista Valli platforms to her "Welcome to America" party, the designer says, "we sold out immediately."
In a Lanvin dress and matching Giambattista Valli bag in N.Y.C.
Going casual in dVb denim skinny jeans and Hermès bag in London.
In a Roland Mouret dress (and Birkin to match!) in Carson, Calif.
In a vintage Gaultier skirt and Balenciaga top in L.A.
Inspired By Her Look
Trading in her dark brown locks for a razored bob, Beckham created the hairstyle of the year, with friends like Katie Holmes and other stars following suit. "She's very influential," says Valli. "She is always very radical, but she knows exactly what she likes."
From her book
That Extra Half an Inch: Hair, Heels and Everything In Between, which debuts stateside Nov. 13:
1. Invest in practical clothing.
2. Plan your outfit the night before.
3. Bring your husband when shopping for lingerie.
4. Have a chic pregnancy.
Why Doesn't Victoria Smile?
▪ She's Sad?
No. People "have this impression that I'm this miserable cow," Beckham told W. "But I'm actually quite the opposite."
▪ She's Angry?
Try disoriented. Posh blames the paparazzi: "When you're out there...with all the flashes, it's as much as you can do to just find your car," she said.
▪ She Has Bad Teeth?
Don't be naff. Her plan to dismiss the rumor? "I'm going to try and smile more for America."
Posh's boldest look this year? The Chanel shorts and Cavalli top she paired with a cropped vintage Gaultier jacket to attend an awards show in London.
She's not afraid to show a little skin—or a little lingerie, baring her bra in L.A.

Kate Moss
Edgy and Eclectic
▪ Her Look
You name it. Moss, 33, can make casual vests, fringed boots and animal prints look runway-worthy.
▪ The Trendsetter
Moss always manages to showcase the next hot thing. Case in point: After single-handedly starting last fall's skinny-jean craze, she ran around in high-waisted, wide-legged jeans, sparking this fall's new trend.
▪ Fashion Cred
Her first clothing line for Topshop—inspired by pieces in Moss's own closet—launched in May with wannabes rushing the racks for a rationed five items.

▪ Her Look
Prom princess with a sporty-punk edge. The hip-hop sweetheart is famous for pairing white sneakers with frilly colorful dresses. "I like to try out different looks, like smart with scruffy," Allen, 22, recently told Harper's Bazaar.
▪ Fall Fashion
Tip "Go for bright accessories," she's said.
▪ Fashion Cred
Allen's look inspired a line of dresses called Lily Loves, which launched in Britain this May. The clothes, available in U.S.-equivalent sizes 4 to 14, defy the stick-thin celebrity trend. "You know how I feel about fashion: It's for everyone, not just a load of superskinny models," Allen said.
Kate Middleton
Perfectly Proper
▪ Her Look
Tailored blazers, knee-length skirts and elegant dresses give the poised royal-in-waiting an understated sophistication.
▪ Fashion Cred
Middleton, 25, got her start in the fashion biz by working as an assistant accessories buyer for trendy Brit chain Jigsaw. And after she wore a simple $80 black-and-white dress from Topshop to work, it sold out overnight.
▪ Fit for a Princess
With a fashion sense often compared with the late Princess Diana's, "Prince William's possible future bride seems to have learned from the woman who might have been her mother-in-law," said veteran fashion writer Suzy Menkes, who also tracked Diana's famously evolving style.

Polished and Perky
▪ Her Look
Trading Hogwarts' robes for chic dresses, the 17-year-old blossomed into a fashion whiz this year. Watson paired outfits with girly flats and stepped up the elegance in Chanel for several Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix premieres, sweetly balancing high fashion and age-appropriateness.
▪ Her Fashion Cred
According to Vogue.com, she recently signed on with Storm modeling agency—the same company that "discovered" supermodel Kate Moss years ago—and has already graced the covers of magazines.
▪ Her Style Philosophy
"I want the clothes to be an expression of me," Watson told Britain's Tatler magazine.

A new subscription service that would allow users to watch broadcast television over the Internet on devices like smartphones and laptops is facing legal trouble before it even officially launches. Facing allegations of copyright infringement by Fox Television, PBS, ABC, and other leading networks, the start-up's defense hinges on tiny rabbit ears.
As detailed in the complaint, Aereo's new service will take broadcast television signals for the New York-area television stations and retransmit them over the Internet to Aereo subscribers. The plaintiffs contend that because Aereo has not licensed this television programming, it will be committing copyright infringement and have asked the court to block the service.
As explained by PC Magazine, Aereo claims that its service is legal because it will provide all customers with their own set of "rabbit ears" antennas. The video will then be digitally processed, returned to the servers, and finally streamed to users over the Internet.
"Aereo does not believe that the broadcasters' position has any merit and it very much looks forward to a full and fair airing of the issues," the company said in a statement.
"Consumers are legally entitled to access broadcast television via an antenna and they are entitled to record television content for their personal use," Aereo added. "Innovations in technology over time, from digital signals to Digital Video Recorders ("DVRs"), have made access to television easier and better for consumers. Aereo provides technology that enables consumers to use their cloud DVR and their remote antenna to record and watch the broadcast television signal to which they are entitled anywhere they are, whether on a phone, a tablet, a television or a laptop."
In response to the company's attempt to side-step costly licenses, the broadcasters argue that "no amount of technological gimmickry by Aereo — or claims that it is simply providing a set of sophisticated 'rabbit ears' — changes the fundamental principle of copyright law that those who wish to retransmit plaintiffs' broadcasts may do so only with plaintiffs' authority."
Other companies who have tried to use loopholes in the copyright law to avoid television licensing have been largely unsuccessful. We are curious to see if Aereo fares any better.

Consider This Callendar Spread For YUM 0 commentsApr 16, 2012 1:48 AM | about stocks: YUM
Within the last weeks, YUM has been a sure bet. The performance over the last year was 45,78% and even on last Fridays down-market, YUM gained 2,81%.
You will find plenty of fundamental and technical analysis out there which favor a continuation of YUM´s story. I don´t want to spend time on either one of these now. On the other hand, after a strong rally, there a always signs that expect a pause soon.
Since I was watching this stock for a while now, I personally believe that the positive trend will continue. A look at this chart supports my positive view:
The Option Play
Sell 10 April 2012 '75' strike calls (priced at 0.70$)
Buy 10 May 2012 '75' strike calls (priced at 1.36$)
Net Debit to Start: 0.66$
In case of a down-move, the lower protection for this option play is @71.21$, which is just slightly above the support @70.90$.
Here is the strategy graph:
Disclosure: I have no positions in any stocks mentioned, but may initiate a long position in YUM over the next 72 hours.Stocks: YUMBack To Aktienfahnder's Instablog HomePage »

DENVILLE — Police are waiting another week before enforcing the township's new anti-smoking law.
Local police have hesitated to crack down on smokers because signs banning smoking still have not been posted at township parks.
Police officials said the department was concerned about enforcing a law that people might not be aware exists.
"It's not a matter of, "We won't,'" Denville police Lt. Scott Kansky said. "It's a matter of, 'We have to wait.'"
Denville administrator Steven Ward said the signs should be in place by the end of next week.
Ward, who took over as administrator Monday, Wednesday could not explain why the signs were absent when the policy took effect Tuesday.
Mayor Ted Hussa could not be reached for comment.
The policy, passed 7-0 by the council in July, outlaws smoking at Denville parks and recreation areas, as well as the adjacent parking areas and sidewalks.
The move made Denville one of 10 towns in Morris County with an anti-smoking policy for public spaces, according to GASP, an anti-tobacco advocacy group based in Summit.
In Denville, penalties for smoking on public recreational areas include a fine of up to $100 or community service for the first offense.
A second offense increases the fine to a maximum of $250, and a third offense could bring a $500 fine, community service or jail time.
Ward said Denville's public works department is in charge of making the signs.

The time has come. The gifts are wrapped, the tree is ornamented, the halls are decked, the lights are hung (but they still dont work,) and I have drunk enough eggnog to finally take the pain out of last season. OK, there isn't enough eggnog in America for that.
Misery loves company. So please, take a drink and sing with me:
I'll have a BLUE Christmas without you;
I'll be so BLUE dreaming about you.
Watching teams wearing red
at a Bowl, New Years Day
Won't mean a thing since
you're not there to play.
I'll have a BLUE Christmas, for certain;
And when my BLUE heartache starts hurting,
They'll be playing all night
BCS teams of might
but I'll have a true, BLUE Christmas.

Is it getting any easier to identify the favorites for every NFL major award in 2012, or is it instead becoming one big jumbled mess?
In Week 3 action, we saw Jamaal Charles finally explode for the Kansas City Chiefs, Ben Roethlisberger had a big day throwing four touchdown passes and A.J. Green caught nine passes for 183 yards and a touchdown.
Individually strong games are noteworthy, but we are more interested in trying to locate the players that have been playing consistently above the rest as we attempt to identify who the leading candidates are for each of the major NFL awards at the end of the year.

"It's a date-night for us tonight," a pink-clad Hasselbeck told PEOPLE, posing proudly next to her color-coordinated husband Tim.
But while her own romance is still going strong, the View star offered words for comfort to her former co-host, Star Jones, who recently filed for divorce from her husband Al Reynolds.
"I'm thinking of her," Hasselbeck said.
The 30-year-old former Survivor star – who makes a cameo in the new Patrick Dempsey comedy – also opened up about how she keeps the spark in her marriage.
"Right now, with two kids, one 3 and one 5 months, a little walk for ice cream with the kids is perfectly romantic," she said. "When they are falling asleep in the stroller and [we can] just take in the city together."

It had been about a year since my cat of almost 20 years, Jazmine, passed from the pet food recall and I love my pug so very much but I still missed having a cat. We also thought it might be nice for our pug to have someone to pal with or keep him company so we started our search. It took us about 2 weeks for us to meet a woman who had some kittens she was surprised by (she thought her cat was a male). She wasn't allowed to have pets where she lived but they overlooked her one cat so she needed to find homes for the rest. Fenway was the runt of the litter and just so unique with her golden eyes and beautiful gray coat that I had to bring her home with me!

A popular day trip from Buenos Aires, the riverside town of Tigre is the gateway to the idyllic Tigre Delta region, one of the world's largest natural deltas stretching over 5,400 square miles. Named after the American Jaguars that once frequented the area, the Tigre Delta is the meeting point of the Paraná river, South America's second longest river, after the Amazon, and the Río de la Plata estuary, which bridges the borders between Buenos Aires and Uruguay.
A vast network of islands, canals, forests and grasslands make up the region, inhabited by a vibrant community of islanders connected to the mainland by water taxis and 'supermarket boats'. With the river flowing through its heart, the main way to get around the Tigre Delta is by boat, and catamaran river cruises are the best way to experience the water-logged lifestyles of the Delta tenants. Drift along the canal ways where you can take in the stilted houses, yacht clubs and markets along the waterfront, and pay a visit to the house and museum of former Argentina president Sarmiento, who spearheaded the development of region.
Boat excursions aren't the only thing to do in the Delta; horseback riding, kayaking, hiking and bird watching excursions are all popular alternatives and many of the islands have been recently redeveloped as luxury spa resorts, reportedly visited by Madonna on her last South American tour. In the town of Tigre, the lively port of Puerto de Frutos hosts a colorful crafts market; the nearby casino and Parque de la Costa amusement park draw in the crowds; and the Museo de Arte Tigre, housed in a striking belle-époque building, is also worth a visit.
A world away from the historic tango halls and shopping districts of Buenos Aires, Tigre is just a 45-minute train ride from Buenos Aires, as well as being accessible by boat from the city's Puerto Madero docks. Alternatively, hop on the scenic Tren de la Costa (Train of the Coast), which runs along the Rio de La Plata coastline from Olivos (an easy train ride from central Buenos Aires) to Tigre.

PITTSBURGH - The Pittsburgh Steelers open their 80th season with a rematch. Kind of.
The Steelers will travel to Denver to start the 2012 regular season on Sept. 9 in a rematch of the Broncos' 29-23 overtime win in the wild card round of last year's playoffs.
Instead of facing Tim Tebow, however, Pittsburgh will take on a rebuilt Denver team featuring Peyton Manning in the first of five primetime games featuring the Steelers next fall.
Pittsburgh won't have to wait long to get a shot at Tebow. The Steelers host the New York Jets in the home opener on Sept. 16.
"There will be a lot of attention paid to Peyton Manning's first game with the Denver Broncos, so it'll be exciting to start out that way," Steelers president Art Rooney II said. "Then we have the New York Jets at home, which will be another exciting game, a repeat of the AFC Championship Game from a couple of years ago here at Heinz Field."
The game against the Jets is one of just two games the Steelers will play at home in the season's first seven weeks.

These books attempt to give a description of the various subsystems that play a role in 802.11 wireless networking in Linux. Since these books are for kernel developers they attempts to document the structures and functions used in the kernel as well as giving a higher-level overview.
The reader is expected to be familiar with the 802.11 standard as published by the IEEE in 802.11-2007 (or possibly later versions). References to this standard will be given as "802.11-2007 8.1.5".
