Mitsubishi has tried not to let lackluster sales tarnish an efficiently run development campaign for the MRJ regional jet, the first metal for which workers cut during a ceremony in Nagoya, Japan, last week. As promised, the program passed its detailed design reviews by the end of the summer. The company has frozen the final configuration of the 88-seat MRJ90 and reached conclusions about the changes needed for the 76-seat MRJ70 and the still unlaunched 100-seat MRJ100X. Project partners have now started manufacturing various components for which they carry responsibility, and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries–the company responsible for the MRJ's fuselage, wing and empennage, along with final assembly and equipment installation–has fabricated the first aluminum joint rib for the airplane's horizontal stabilizer.
Meanwhile, BAE Systems has signed a new multi-year agreement with Mitsubishi Aircraft under which it will initially provide engineering development and integration services related to flight-test equipment and systems for the Pratt & Whitney PW1000G-powered aircraft. The new contract builds upon an existing contract under which a team from BAE Systems' Regional Aircraft business at Prestwick, Scotland, supports engineering on a number of work packages, including the powerplant, pylon, nacelle, auxiliary power units and fuel systems.
But while all indications seem to point to a methodical, well-run industrial effort, the MRJ's sales team has failed to secure a firm order apart from the initial launch contract with All Nippon Airways for 15 airplanes. The so-called U.S. launch customer, St. Louis-based Trans States Airlines, signed a letter of intent covering an order for 50 of the 78- to 92-seat airplanes and options on another 50, but more than a year later, Trans States has failed to commit to a firm order.
Granted, Mitsubishi has time to build a more respectable backlog before the airplane enters service with ANA in early 2014, but questions remain about the market the manufacturer hopes to cultivate with the MRJ. Although Brazil's Embraer enjoyed something of a sales revival during the Farnborough airshow, overall, recent order activity suggests a withering market for regional jets in the 70- to 80-seat range, particularly in the U.S. Even the 90- to 100-seat segment has seen a lull, as opportunities to place airplanes with major airlines appear to have diminished and pilot union scope clauses continue to restrict their use at regional airlines.
Meanwhile, as highlighted in a new study released this week by Newtown, Conn.-based Forecast International, the regional airline industry itself finds itself in a state of flux. The 2008-2009 airline market slump hit regionals particularly hard, it said, and the recovery now under way could easily stall, should the general economy remain sluggish or drop back into recession. In addition, many mainline network airlines want to alter, or even scrap altogether, the fixed-fee-per-departure arrangements that have traditionally defined major/regional partnerships.
All the uncertainty appears not to bode well for the near-term sales prospects of Mitsubishi and a crowded field of competitors in the 70- to 90-seat market. Fortunately for Mitsubishi, while the future of that segment appears to stand on some shifting fundamentals, it has time to wait out the tremors.

U.N.K.A.LLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
MADADIA has been chosen to host the latest United Nations Kebab Annual Liaisons (U.N.K.A.L).
Madadia's mayoress, Madka Owdiseez, has invited several wives of delegates of UNKAL for an informal luncheon.
She plans to seat her 9 guests in a row such that each lady will be able to converse with the person directly to her left and right. She has prepared the following list.
Mrs. F speaks English only.
Mrs. G speaks English and French.
Mrs. H speaks English and Russian.
Mrs. J speaks Russian only.
Mrs. K speaks English only.
Mrs. L speaks French only.
Mrs. M speaks French and German.
Mrs. N speaks English and German.
Mrs. O speaks English only.
How many distinct seating arrangements are possible? Give all possible seating arrangements. Bear in mind that Madka Owdiseez is not one of the 9 to be seated in a row.
Note that ABCD and DCBA are the same
AnswerWith each arrangement considered identical to its reverse, there are 126 possible arrangements.
FKO are interchangeable, and can be arranged 6 ways. FKO stays together unless N is next to M outside GLM (more on that below).
JH must be together, and J must be at the end, because H is the only other Russian speaker. JH has 2 slots in the above configuration (H next to FKO, with J on the outside).
GLM has 1 slot in the above configuration (G next to FKO, opposite JH).
2[JH]*6[FKO]*1[MLG]=12 arrangements, or 2 mirror groups of 6 arrangements each. Thus, 6 distinct arrangements - 1 for each FKO order.
Keeping the above groups self-contained, N has 5 slots (2 within FKO, 1 between FKO and H, 1 between FKO and G, 1 beside M). That makes 30 arrangements - 5 for each FKO order.
When N is in certain positions, however, the groups can break up. Unless N is next to M outside GLM, GLM can be GML. If N is between FKO and GLM, GLM can scramble, and G can be anywhere touching FKO, except N cannot touch L. When G-[L/M]-N are consecutive in either direction, FKO can straddle that subgroup. That makes 126 arrangements - 21 for each FKO order.
Here are the 21 arrangements, using xxx for the interchangeable FKO.
JHNxxxGLM, JHNxxxGML, JHxNxxGLM, JHxNxxGML
JHxxNxGLM, JHxxNxGML, JHxxxNGLM, JHxxxNGML
JHxxxNMGL, JHxxxNMLG, JHxxNMLGx, JHxNMLGxx
JHNMLGxxx, JHxxxGLMN, JHxxGLMNx, JHxGLMNxx
JHGLMNxxx, JHGxxxNML, JHxGxxNML, JHxxGxNML
Apply each FKO order - F-K-O, F-O-K, K-F-O, K-O-F, O-F-K, O-K-F - to each xxx above. That makes 21*6=126 arrangements.

The Beatles – Best Animated Album Covers
'Abbey Road'
Who knew? If you look closely at the animated Gif created for the classic Beatles album cover 'Abbey Road,' it appears they were the precursor to Monty Python's "Silly Walks."
In reality, the iconic album cover featuring the band crossing the street was the idea of a sketch created by Paul McCartney. The famous picture was taken on Aug. 8, 1969, and photographer Iain MacMillan had to work under the gun as he was given just 10 minutes to get the shot. MacMillan, up on a stepladder, shot the photo while police held traffic so that the band could cross the street uninterrupted.

He will lose his fronting role, not presenting either of two new current affairs shows which are planned for next year, says TV3 news and current affairs director Mark Jennings.
Duncan Garner will present the replacement programme for 60 Minutes, when the franchise rights end next year.
But McRoberts will continue as anchor on TV3's prime time news at 6pm.
McRoberts could not be reached for comment, but a TV3 source said he was "not happy".
Jennings said Guyon Espiner, who reports for 60 Minutes, may have a presenting role on the second news and current affairs show that is in development.
Espiner declined to comment and TV3 said planning for the second show was in the early stages.
Jennings said McRoberts had "a very good skill set", but as a presenter he did not fit with the new shows.
"We want to signal that the new show is very different," he said.
McRoberts will also continue to front the overseas news show 360.
Jennings said the programme replacing 60 Minutes would be "more flexible", and the second show would also be "very different".
TV3 is backing another series of the weekend current affairs show The Nation, presented by Rachel Smalley.
Garner steps down as political editor at the end of next month to host the drive-time show on TV3's sister radio station RadioLive.
"I'm keen to keep him involved," Jennings says.

Thread: Names that don't age well
January 9th, 2012 02:54 AM #11
For me, its nicknames as given names. Maggie, Gracie, Nate, Ben, Tommy, Jimmy, Katie, Libby, Evie, Alfie, Archie, Theo, etc., etc... there are so many of them and more and more people are considering them without fuller names! I just don't understand that trend at all. There are only three names (at least, that I can think of off-hand) that I would actually consider using that are diminutives/nicknames: Jack (because I utterly refuse to contribute to the John frenzy in my family tree! Besides, if my brother wants to have a 4th--he's a 3rd--then he can have John/Johnny and I can have Jack. ), Kate (but only as a MN... because Arianne Eleanor Catherine is way to long. Just Kate honors more family pretty much equally, too), and Tess (because, for some reason, it just stands on its own for me. I can see a Tess as a businesswoman just as equally as I can see a Grace. Tess and Gracie just aren't on the same level to me. Tessie would be another story, though...).
Other random names:
Jasper (I can see this on an old man, but not on a baby/kid/teen. Does that count?)
Lacey (I can't imagine a Grandma Lacey. I wish I could, because I love the name, but I just can't.)
Zoe/Chloe (I don't even know why, because these names go way back. But I can't picture them past a seven-year-old)Ashley | namenerd | Christian | storyteller
princesinhas e príncipes:
Isabelle Aurora Grace ▪ Adele Sofia Eloise ▪ Everett Joshua Charles ▪ Casper Nathaniel Eden
thinking about today:
Violet Fiala Elisabeth ▪ Daniel Torin Elijah ▪ Evangeline Dagny Hope ▪ Hugo Emerson Jack
Claire Everly ▪ Jack Jasper ▪ Delphina Lily "Della" ▪ Thomas Brynjar ▪ Hazel Isabella
Sebastian Malachi ▪ Katherine Aurora ▪ Grayson Amory ▪ Grace Amélie ▪ Reuben Sebastian

I have to agree with some of the previous posts- Kaylee etc, Nevaeh, also nn names like Maddy, Emmy, Gracie. Brittany, Kayla, Kylie, Cody. Any misspelled name such as Karsyn. Kiki, Mimi, Didi, Bibi. Some nn names are better than others.
For some of the previous posts- I'm a Lyndsey, I have to agree that it doesn't seem like an older name, although there is Lindsay Wagner and Lindsay Crouse to consider, who are older.
Aidan- I think of this is a man's name because of Aidan Quinn.
Campbell- I know a woman named Campbell who is 54, she carries it well and it seems very professional (she's in training to be a counselor).
Chloe- this one seems to age fairly well for me, but not Zoe
Piper- I actually see that as an adult name because of the adult Piper character on Charmed

Injury Prevention and Safety
Child skull fracture
my child and I were involved in a car accident. As far as I know, she may have hit her head on her right side as she had a bruise on her right eye. However, she sustained a skull fracture on her left side. Is this possible?
Yes, it is absolutely possible because of a phenomenon known as rebound injury, wherein the brain opposite the injury is also damaged. When the force that directly impacts the skull is significant, it causes the brain, it's blood vessels, nerves, and cushioning fluid to move swiftly across the space inside the skull and literally smash up against the other side of the bony skull. This applies shearing or tearing forces to all of these tissues as they move at high velocity to slam into a the bony skull barrier and then rebound again to inflict more damage at the original site of impact.
I don't know how old your child is, but the bony plates that make up the skull do not fuse completely with one another until sometime after 10 years of age. This allows for the rapid growth of brain tissue that occurs in the first decade of life that is necessary for normal development and learning. In younger children bones are also more likely to fracture than they are in adults because they are less calcified.
Your experience highlights the critical need for the proper restraint of all children in appropriate car seats and booster seats until they meet the weight AND the height criteria for moving into standard seatbelt usage. These milestones are 80 pounds and four feet nine inches. Use of booster seats and car seats reduces serious injury by 60-80%. Regular seat belts used on smaller individuals result in cutting across the trachea or windpipe,potentially collapsing it or the esophagus as the windpipe is driven back into the esophagus or food pipe, making swallowing and eating painful and difficult. They also can inflict significant bruising injury on the abdominal organs leading to internal bleeding as well as painful bruising over bony areas.
I hope both you and your daughter heal quickly and consistently use good restraint practices when back out on the road.

The leaves are changing here in Atlanta and that means I'm scheduling my yearly pilgrimage into the mountains of North Carolina for some great views of the changing foliage and to do some light hiking and sightseeing.
We have one specific campground that we've made part of our tradition to stop and enjoy a nice river-side lunch by. This year instead of dashing to the nearest convenience store because no one remembered to buy and pack food beforehand, I'm bringing along one of our awesome promotional coolers.
I've had my eye on the Igloo Party to Go Cooler ever since I assisted with the filming of the product video. Not only does it have a great name (Party to Go sounds like a themed party the local college I used to dj at had once), it's also roomy enough for 20 cans. I plan to fill it up with a few bottles of cider, that I'll open with the handy-dandy attached bottle opener, and some sandwiches and some deserts. Items like coolers are a great way to become parts of your customers or clients best memories and give you plenty of exposure when they are trekked around. Useful and sturdy, two of my favorite characteristics of any long-lasting promotional product.

Close to pure gold but fused with alloys such as silver, copper and zinc for strength and richness of hue, this rich bright yellow metal is an eternal classic loved for its warmth and glow against the skin and for its longevity.
Rarer and more precious than gold, platinum is a seriously luxe heavy metal. Platinum is incredibly strong, hypoallergenic and considered a noble metal in chemistry terms due to its resistance to corrosion.
Sterling silver is an alloy of silver containing 92.5% silver and 7.5% other metals for strength and resilience. Originating in continental Europe in the 11th Century, this precious metal is thought to have been named for the Old English word meaning 'little star'.
Because we make each ring individually in our workshop, you can order the size you require. If you are unsure of your size, we recommend getting sized correctly at your local jeweler. We work in US and letter sizing.
You can choose the option NOT SURE and confirm your size at a later date within 7 days. Please be aware this will delay your order as your ring will not begin being made until your size is confirmed.
* Note: If you guess your size and it needs to be altered, you will incur an alteration fee. Alternatively you can email us and request a free ring sizer to be posted to you.

You all see the pattern, right?
Remember the lament of this team "collapsing" in the past? It became like clockwork a couple years ago. That is a sign of a team that the opposition does not respect. Teams used to take it easy on the Pacers the first three quarters, then crank up the pressue. ...and we folded.
Now what is happening? This team plays with more force, effort and energy. Perhaps not the most talented bunch, but they do give good effort. The same teams that knew they could crank it up and wipe us out no longer believe that. They are pressing more because we are more competitive.
IOW, teams are actually trying from the get-go. You can see that simply by watching the games, which are...as a result...more enjoyable to watch than the last few years.

Instead of yellow garden roses, Fletcher used mass-produced yellow spray roses (99 cents per stem). She also relied on lemon leaf to fill out the bouquet, as "using more greenery than blooms will lower the price dramatically," she says. She also skipped the agapanthus, and used delphiniums and lisianthus instead. Both are comparatively inexpensive, but take the bouquet in a more purple-y direction.

Sweet Lulu, who is trained by Bay Area-based Jerry Hollendorfer, captured the $500,000 Test Stakes at Saratoga Race Course (N.Y.) on Saturday.
Improving to 4-for-4 with a game performance under jockey Julien Leparoux, the 3-year-old filly won the seven-furlong Grade I race by a head over Wildcat Lily in 1:23.45 and paid $5.60 as the 9-to-5 favorite.
Alameda native Matt Bettencourt shot a 6-under 66 for a share of the third-round lead at the Cox Classic in Omaha, Neb. He and Bronson La'Cassie (66) were at 17-under 196 at Champions Run, a shot ahead of John Peterson (66). Bettencourt tied for second in last week's Web.com Tour tournament.
Canada earned a spot at the 2015 World Cup, beating the United States 13-11 in Toronto in the second leg of their cumulative goal playoff. Canada won 27-9 last weekend in Charleston, S.C. It earned a spot in Group D at the World Cup in England, where it will face Ireland, Italy, France, and a European team to be determined. The U.S. and captain Todd Clever of San Jose can still make the tournament if it beats Uruguay in a two-match series.
College soccer
San Jose State and host Cal played to a 1-1 tie in a men's exhibition match. Rory Knibbs scored for the Spartans at the 55:34 mark, and Stephano Bonomo tied it with 11 seconds left. There was no overtime. Both teams open Friday at home, with San Jose State playing Sacramento State and Cal facing Georgetown.
High schools
Thanks to a 22-point effort, new SMU oral commitment Emmanuel Mudiay won Under Armour Elite 24 MVP honors in an all-star game at the Tobacco Warehouse in Brooklyn, N.Y. Mudiay, a point guard from Prime Prep-Arlington (Texas), is the fifth-rated senior prospect. Forward Ivan Rabb, who'll be a junior at Bishop O'Dowd High this fall, also played.

Rockies struggle vs. Romo, with exception of Rutledge
SAN FRANCISCO -- It's no secret how tough Giants' closer Sergio Romo can be on opposing hitters with his nearly unhittable slider.
In the first two games of their three-game series with San Francisco, the Rockies faced Romo twice. He faced seven Colorado hitters and struck out five, while logging two saves.
Second baseman Josh Rutledge was the only Rockies player with a hit off Romo this season entering the series finale Wednesday afternoon at AT&T Park. In the ninth inning of a 4-2 loss Monday night, he rocked Romo's first pitch high off the wall in left-center field for a double.
"It was a slider," Rutledge said. "Kind of a little out over the plate."
Romo rarely makes location mistakes with his money pitch, so Rutledge jumped on it.
"He does a real good job of keeping his pitches down," Rutledge said. "He gets a lot of swing-and-misses, too. He's a tough guy to face. I was really just going up there and trying to get on base any way I could. He happened to give me something I could put a good swing on."
After Rutledge doubled, Romo struck out Chris Nelson, Todd Helton and Wilin Rosario in order to end the game. In the ninth inning of a 9-6 loss to San Francisco on Tuesday night, Reid Brignac grounded out to Romo while Eric Young Jr. and Dexter Fowler struck out to end the game.
In his career against the Rockies, Romo is 1-0 with a 1.88 ERA and three saves. He has 30 strikeouts in 24 innings pitched, averaging 11.3 strikeouts per nine innings.

Posey donates 1,000 gloves to Junior Giants
SAN FRANCISCO -- Buster Posey's first glove was a hand-me-down his mother had previously used.
He used it for a couple years. He slept with it. He still has it.
Prior to Wednesday night's game at AT&T Park, Posey made sure roughly 1,000 kids from the Giants Community Fund's Junior Giants baseball program had a glove to call their own.
Posey joined Giants broadcaster Duane Kuiper on top of the visitor's dugout for a 15-minute Q&A session with the kids, participants in the Concord, Daly City, Hayward, Hunter's Point, Milpitas, San Bruno, San Francisco Mission YMCA and San Mateo leagues.
Posey -- serving as the Junior Giants commissioner -- also bought tickets to Wednesday night's game for each of the kids.
Junior Giants is a free, non-competitive co-ed program in more than 90 underserved communities across California, Nevada and Oregon. Of the 21,000 players, more than 10,000 do not have a glove of their own. Eighty percent of participants come from low- to moderate-income households.

Package Opener
Open Sesame
This holiday season, save your hands, scissors and sanity with a Zip-it Opener. It's a battery-operated device that can cut through hard plastic packaging with no trouble at all. Just attach the Zip-it to your package, press the button and guide the rollers around like you would a can opener. Presto, your items (batteries, toys, tools, fluorescent light bulbs, whatever) are free from their plastic prison, and there are no sharp edges to worry about. Just don't try it on a can of tomatoes; the Zip-it is intended only for cutting plastic packaging and paper envelopes.
The idea for the Zip-it came from Steve Fisher, a retired dentist who used to struggle to open plastic packages for his mother. Whenever he visited her, she had several waiting for him to open. So what does a good son do? He invents something that his mother can use safely and effectively, and his family pitched in. Steve's oldest daughter helped design the handle, and his youngest daughter and son-in-law took on operations and distribution. After two years in design and development, their invention is making life easier for all of us, one package at a time. Read More Read Less

Grommet Launch Conversation
I hate them! I hate them!
We have all said that many times when confronted with trying to open those difficult to open hard plastic packages with the sealed edges. Now, there is a safe, easy, and fun way to open all these packages with the battery powered Zip-it Opener.
I am Steve Fisher the inventor of the Zip-it Opener. I developed this because my mother could never open these packages. She was not strong and was afraid to use sharp tools for fear of cutting herself. Now, with the press of a button, you can easily guide the Zip-it around the package accessing the contents.
It is exciting that the Daily Grommet has chosen to introduce this safety device and frustration reliever to their valued customers. They make a wonderful gift for any occasion (even for yourself). End your frustration with these packages, and open them with a Zip-it Opener.
I remember the first time I encountered a clam shell package. I thought that I was missing something, there had to be an easy trick to opening these and I was just missing it. It did not occur to me that they weren't designed to be opened!
I'm always blown away when an individual, without the backdrop or support of a huge corporation, tackles an invention like this one. It's no small feat to bring any product to market, but this one seems even more involved. Kudos to you Steve for following your vision and presenting a product that will make life easier for your Mom and many others. I'm glad to have met the guy behind the product!
There is a god and her name is Steve! iloveu,iloveu,iloveu!!! I hate, hate, hate opening these horribly impossible plastic. I am buying these for all of my friends as stocking stuffers for xmas. I will put this in my blog, however, not until after the holidays. I mean, think how much I will be loved when everyone gets one of these under the tree and can use it to open all those great gifts with the annoying packaging. hallelujah we are saved!
Thanks Katherine for the compliment. This was a fun project knowing that so many people have this problem. I have never met anyone who said "I just love the frustration of opening clamshell packages." Because it is battery powered (2 AAs), it makes opening these difficult packages easy for everyone regardless of hand strength or dexterity.
Jeannette - you obviously are a member of the wrap rage community (my target audience), and the Zip-it is here to turn your rage to fun. You will have fun zipping open your packages. The Zip-its really do work well, but remember to remove the cover before opening most packages. The only problems I am aware of occur when the cover is not removed.
What's the life of this gadget (number of uses) before it needs to be replaced?
@Ell - thank you for stopping by. We will get in touch with Steve and have a response for you shortly.
Ell - we have a company who uses two of these all day everyday. They have told me that the battery charge lasts about 300 packages. They replace the batteries and keep going. They have yet to wear theirs out with continued use!
please..steve is only laughing his way to the bank while you guys are concerned about opening clam-shell packages!
@xxox - your statement could have come from me a few years ago. Because the stories of the instant product successes are prevalent (even though in actuality they are extremely rare), there's a misconception about easy money when you invent and sell a product. If you are also as I was, you are probably always on the cusp of coming up with that next great idea yourself! I highly, highly urge you to go for it. The process is eye opening and a huge, learning experience. You will have a much greater appreciation for those who do put the effort and take the risks to bring a product to market or to start their own business.
Not everyone will see the value in this product, but for those who do need it (like Steve's mom!) it can be a very important addition.
is this available here in the philippines? thanks and have a nice day.
@jun - unfortunately they are not available in the Philippines.
Hi..I read with interest about the product but is it available in Singapore? Most of the products sold here, especially electronic products,it uses the clamshell system
@javachap - this is a relatively new product and currently only available locally. Steve is looking into larger distribution and will let us know.
Grommet Fans! It is great to be back as Todays Feature. We are in the warehouse and will ship all the orders we receive today, today. The Zip-it is a must for Christmas morning. You know you will be receiving gifts wrapped in the Fort Knox plastic packaging. Rather than have the usual arsenal of knives and saws at the ready, go for the Zip-it. Safe and easy for everyone in the family to use. Have a fun morning zipping!! Wishing all of you a most enjoyable Holiday Season.
Our order arrived today, and we had to try out the Zip-it right away. It works just like the video shows! From a grandmother down to a teenager, these are gifts we're giving this Christmas - and keeping one ourselves. Thank you, Steve! Hope lots of people get these handy gifts so they can open their packages of batteries that one always seems to need at Christmas.
My Dad has Parkinson's and I love finding products like this that let him do things like open the g----n package! Now he can still be the guy we rely on to open things for us.
It seems like a small thing but it's not. It's important to him and his pride.
@Nancy: He will be so appreciative - this is a perfect find for him.
The launch day conversation has ended. Please direct further questions about this Grommet to our Community Experience Team.

Ten things we learned this week
It's been a busy few days here on DPReview.com, with new products being released in both the camera and mobile industries, news, previews and of course plenty of in-depth reviews still in progress. In this short article we look back at some of the things we've learned over the past week or so, both from the industry and from you, our readers. Click through to see more.
Sep 1, 2016
Sep 10, 2016

iLeica sucks. Pathetic.
iPhone, iPhone, iPhone, iPhone, iPhone,
So called smart phone, .... why?
Perhaps compared to some of their owners?
I cast a vote for dumping all editorial space dedicated to phones and replace this sector with Pro only camera's.
Medium format, Mono Rail, Panoramic and the like.
On the other hand, if obtaining the best result and reviewing the good cameras available to us is not the focus of DPR any more, .... Perhaps a name change is in order, .... "Diabolical Phone Results" or something that describes the real content.
Then we photographers will simply usher the good old DPR into fond memory and seek like minded serious photographers elsewhere.
'Some of you are allergic to Apples
Apple's (approximately) annual product refresh cycle for the iPhone just came around, and as some of the world's most popular cameras, we've been giving the newest iphone, the iPhone 5s, a fair amount of coverage both on dpreview.com and connect. Although we stand by what we've published, a lot of you seem to be allergic to Apples, and you've been telling us so loudly and clearly in your comments.
We'll still publish smartphone content on dpreview occasionally, where there's a good photography-related argument for doing so but if you really don't like seeing this sort of content on our homepage."
For good time and bad times, that word is always there.. always on the news.
Sick and tired of this... Can't you just put Smartphone instead of that word?
A phone with mediocre camera that received all attentions and publicity is the worst thing that ever happened in the word of Photography.
> The new K-3 is an impressive DSLR with some great features, but with 'Pentax' written on the front, and 'Ricoh' on the back.
A bit like Panasonic/Lumix cameras then? ("Lumix" on the front, "Panasonic" on the top)
Kudos to DPR editors. the summary makes total sense for me.
Gee tells us more about all the new cameras.
I heard a lot of good things about 5-axis image stabilization. But aren't you pushing the envelope with an exposure of "160sec"? :)
Okay, I clicked through the article and just read the headlines and the first two sentences of each paragraph. I skim, it's what I do best.
I think we're missing one or two items. Didn't we learn anything about Adobe and/or subscription models? Like maybe people hate them? Or maybe people like to say they hate them but they really like them?
I think this article is incomplete without some treatment of this important topic.
EDIT: Oh, it's ten things we learned THIS WEEK. Maybe that was in last week's article...
Not allergic to Apple. Not even allergic to smartphones. But I AM allergic to have what is supposed to be a camera site wasting time and resources on both when you can't keep up with reviewing real cameras.
There are plenty of cell phone review sites. You don't need to be another one. Stick to what your many thousands of readers came here for.
groucher- Weird? Why? You never seen that: https://secure.flickr.com/cameras ?
11. By dividing short, simple articles across 10 or 12 pages you can get more clicks and make your advertisers happier while annoying your readers.
You'd think that "real" photographers would skip articles that obviously aren't about "real" cameras.
I like this kind of summary and I'd like to read one every week!
"Penticoh"? "Ricax"?
Why not a list of bloopers while we are at it?
I don't mind reviews about cellphones, what I do mind is that you seem to be gving unbalanced reviews when it comes to iphones like if you were being paid by apple. However I do like iphones, yes they are good, but please stop being FANBOYISH in your reviews of them, be FACTUAL don't become PROMOTIONAL
Smart phones did not take over for low end compacts, they created a whole new catagory below low end compacts. They created a cataogory of camera for people whose interest in photography is so low that carrying even a low end compact camera is too much of a bother...which turns out to be most of the people who owned low end compacts! They say that the best camera is the one you have with you, but I've found that people who own low end cameras, as tiny as they are, often do not bring their cameras with them! But people who own bulky DSLRs are more likely to drag their cameras with them everywhere they go. For the average person, the cell phone camera means not having to think about bringing their camera because it's built into the phone. So in that regard the cell phone camera is better, only because they have it with them.
In his book 'The inmates are running the asylum' Alan Cooper points out that once we put a computer in something, the computer takes over and it now about the User Interface. Digital cameras in traditional SLR bodies still end up being about the software and the UI, no matter the hardware. The reality is that most photography is really about Photoshop even for professionals. Digital photography is quite distinct from film photography as an art medium and arguments over how close the former can come to emulating the latter are missing the point.
My phone may not have the resolution of my digital camera, nor the lens power, and the argument about carrying the phone rather than a 'real' camera is only relevant to teenagers who treat facebook as a photographic life journal - ha ha . The reality is that my phone has REAL TIME processing and editing that allows me to produce ART, as opposed to 'accurate record'.
So why are you taking photographs if they are not going to be interesting, engaging and pleasing to the eye?
Right. You are an industrial photographer, an astronomer, a biologist, a police forensic photographer, or perhaps you are taking photographs with a military spy satellite. Accurate image is what counts, not art. And if you are in that class then you are not going to be using a smartphone camera anyway.
Let's just call it "Ricoh" As Pentax is dead to me, the body's are of worse design, and the old design style of Pentax is GONE
@ Groucher; That's not really a fair assessment to say that most of those features have little value when taking pictures. These cameras are packed full of usefull features. Which ones you use depends upon your needs, skill level and approach to photography. I always work from RAW files, so picture styles, color balance bracketing and many other automatic functions are useless to me, but to other photographers, those features might be very uselful. Those companies already make a range of cameras to meet the needs of different kinds of photographers. There's no harm in including those features you might not use, in fact it would be more costly to build more models to meet the specific needs of individual photographers than to include as many features as possible into fewer models.
"with 'Pentax' written on the front, and 'Ricoh' on the back, we're still not entirely sure what to actually call it."
...well, my Pentax LX has 'Pentax' written on the front and 'Asahi opt. co.' written on the back. And we all call it Pentax!
From this day on, I will. Thanks!:-)
And Ricoh has been involved with the K-mount before. Anyone remember the Ricoh KR series of SLRs?
"Some of you are allergic to Apples" Not what I have noticed, even as an Apple user. Many more people seem to be allergic to "Apple" being used when the applicable term is Smartphone or when other formats already do some of the things touted as breakthroughs by Apple. (And even do them better). Frankly, I am more interested in upgrading to the Samsung Note 3 than the next generation of my iPhone, and I even prefer the camera in it.
"when other formats already do some of the things touted as breakthroughs by Apple."
To often when ppl say "This is the best I know of" they mean "This is the only thing I know of".
Not recognizing breakthrough being done "on the other side of the fence" is fairly common around here.
2nd most common thing here are those who have used a hammer for their whole life, and gets a screwdriver in their hands, tries it for an hour and complains that it doesn't do the job.
(please replace hammer and screwdriver for whatever might suit you)
I have to add my objection to the new "click and load 12 pages to view content worth maybe 2" design i have seen a few times here recently.
Not only is it tedious and timewasting, but it is incovenient if you want to compare anything or review anything you just read as you go along.
Please dont go this way--just makes your site look like "10 wardrobe malfunctions" clickbait nonsense.
Nobody should have duct tape in their bag. When you try to remove it, it either damages what is was sticking to or leaves a horrible goo behind. Considerate photographers use gaffer tape. Its very strong but not as aggressive as Duct tape..
some people say they prefer gaffers tapes because they are easier to remove. that's not my problem. not a big one. I'm more for the base that cloth/paper reflect light less than vinyl. also gaffers tapes are strong enough for most of binding (vinyl binds better when stretched).
I use vinyl tapes with easy to recognize color (not too bright red or green) and may cover with gaffers tape for serious work.
Newsletter says that Pentax and Sony announce "major DSLR cameras this week", was that a typo or do we know in advance something....??? :)
No major Sony DSLRs are in the pipeline (so far as I know). I just checked the last newsletter and yes, indeed, it did say Sony when it should have said 'Nikon'. Sorry about that. That'll teach me for writing those things late in the evening....
A summary of all the things is a good way forward, preferably weekly!
This "Ten Things We Learned" is way cool.
It sort of wraps up the whole week of interesting things on DPR.
If weekly is too much, then fortnightly or monthly is still cool.
Keep on truckin"!
You got some virtual positive points from me. This type of talk about D600 and D610 was exactly what I thought about when I wrote that bit under D610 first impressions.
I would call Pentax K-3 simply Pentax K-, cause its simply presented as such.
Im also quite curious about that 1/160 issue. I know this from first hand, but I have camera which is ages old (not new), but with IBIS too.My problematic speed is 1/25 everything under is fine, everything over too. My guess is that it might be related either to shutter shock, or some sync frequency rate (IBIS probably vibrates at certain frequency, that frequency might be somehow related to this, just idea).
Overall, I like this summary, keep it going. :)
Again, not a fan of having to click "next" for every single item on the list. Hate that design, hate it, hate it, hate it, hate it. (By the way, I notice that the same ads remain, so what's the point?)
"Shutter shock" on the Olympus E-5--a lot of Olympus users have complained about that, and despite the great images the E-PL1 and E-PM1 were capable of, it, along with the fact that it took Olympus forever to improve their sensors, is why I moved to Sony NEX via C3. I've never noticed the shutter shock problem when using it, & its sensor was way ahead of the older m4/3rds models, the newer m4/3rds models cost much more since it took them so long to get the newer sensor.
I was about to read this article, then subconsciously trying to procrastinate the click click clickfest, I jumped down here to see if anybody had written anything interesting that would not require a reload and that lag for the ads.
I agree with you. In fact, I agree so much, I think I'll just skip the article. Ads here take too long to load, and surely I can find something better to do with my Friday evening.
@scrup - you're playing with fire!
Martin-C, I will try this! Maybe I just need to shift my reading of DPR to iPad.
And people say they don't know what they'd do with an iPad, pah!
I wish you'd write more about shutter shock.
On one side there are so many discussions going on about it and so much confusion.
On the other side there are the manufacturers who don't even acknowledge the problem exists.
The thing is with Apple :) and mobile phones in general is having high megapixel cameras on them as gimmicks sells the phones to gain the phone contracts from people, which earns the phone companies a pretty penny or two, and saying that mobile phone users are competing with DSLR sales maybe a fallacy......this has no doubt been said before so thought I'd say it again ;).......sorry.
Wow...it'd be nice to have a list of all the commenters who suggested duct tape, because I wouldn't want that awful, messy, residue-shedding stuff anywhere near my camera bag. I'm not sure I'd trust someone who suggested using duct tape on any photo equipment that is not an actual duct.
Gaffers tape or GTFO.
Good post..and great job...and 11# smartphones are trying hard to show of as great fashion, art, national geographic and etc tools...lol..just kidding...
Really BAD idea.
Duct tape will leave sticky residue all over anything you put it on.
GAFFER'S tape Looks the same but is entirely different.
Trust an old Pro on this.
Gaffer's tape IS the real deal.
Any good film supply house or camera store will have plenty of Gagger's Tape onhand
John Sharpe/Sharpeshots
No, that's misuse of duct tape. It was meant to shut up the whiners and the trolls.
> switchable anti-aliasing
the only attack to the problem is more pixels
but makers cannot help removing the LPF for cost saving
and there are users who prefer lower quality images.
Not really, aliasing is going to be present on anything that uses digital sampling. That's just the way sampling works.
There's an old maxim in the world of 3D modeling & animation: higher resolution is not a substitute for anti-aliasing, and anti-aliasing is not a substitute for higher resolution. I wonder how long it will take photographers to figure that out...
pixel peepers exist because cameras are pixel challenged.
pixel size should be at least smaller than the first radius of smallest Airy disk a best lens can deliver. a best lens may be a perfect f/2.8 for 35mm format (like 50/1.4 stopped down), or < 1 micron pixel (stacked RGB, about 0.7 micron for Bayer).
I really appreciate how much class you guys have, in spite of the inevitable trolls you have to deal with. A rundown of the talk on your site is impressive. Keep up the good work.
Great summary.....can you do one every week :)
At the rate new cameras are being announced this autumn we'll be doing one every couple of days!

SAN BERNARDINO - The man two San Bernardino police officers encountered in July was 5 feet 10 inches tall, 170 pounds and violent.
He punched and kicked the much larger officers, and left one with a shoulder injury that required surgery.
Police eventually discovered the out-of-control man wasn't on PCP, methamphetamine or other drugs that can lead to similar behavior.
He was high on bath salts.
"We do have incidents where officers have come in contact with people under the influence of bath salts, and officers have been injured," said San Bernardino police Lt. Paul Williams.
The synthetic designer drugs, legal to possess because of loopholes in the law, have made national headlines due to their adverse effects, often after being smoked, injected, snorted or injested. Williams said police have been running into people under the influence of bath salts in the past six to eight months.
These bath salts, by the way, have nothing to do with actual bath salts.
Now a group dedicated to increasing public health and safety wants to make sure Inland Empire law enforcement officers know what to expect from people taking the substance.
The San Diego-based Institute for Public Strategies on Wednesday educated about 30 police officers from San Bernardino, Redlands, San Bernardino Unified School District police departments and other agencies on the dangers of bath salts and another popular synthetic drug called spice.
William Perno, a retired San Diego County sheriff's deputy and community organizer for IPS, encouraged community groups and law enforcement to work together to help get the drugs off the streets. Perno joined IPS this year after discovering bath salts and spice were being sold at a store next to his daughter's middle school.
"We need to work together to strengthen legislation in 2013," he said.
Both drugs come with a host of side effects. Bath salt users could experience milder effects such as teeth grinding and insomnia, while the more severe symptoms include heightened body temperature, excited delirium and homicidal behavior.
It's a white-powdered substance not to be confused with legitimate bath salts such as epsom salt that are placed in bath tubs.
Spice, sometimes referred to as synthetic marijuana, generates $7.8 billion per year in U.S. sales, IPS officials said. Its effects range from anxiety and hallucinations to psychotic breaks. But unlike marijuana, spice is a herb that has to be sprayed with toxic chemicals in order to produce a high.
The group said there have been reports of both drugs killing people who used the drug for the first time.
But other effects the drugs produce could impact officers and other emergency responders.
IPS officials showed news footage of a 2010 incident where a Mississippi deputy was killed by a man high on bath salts and marijuana. It took six deputies to gain control of the man.
"I'm hoping we don't have an incident like this in California," Perno said.
Bath salts could reduce the effect of a Taser gun as well as pepper spray because many users don't feel pain and experience extraordinary strength.
But despite the growing problem around the nation, emergency rooms in many Inland Empire hospitals aren't documenting cases of people under the influence of the drugs, said Corey Lopez, prevention specialist for IPS.
Because the substances fail to be detected under standard drug tests, some patients are misdiagnosed.
Adding to the confusion is the fact that bath salt and spice users display symptoms similar to other drugs.
"For us to say somebody is under the influence of bath salts, you wouldn't know it until they're tested for that drug," said Ontario police Sgt. Chris Swan, who works in the narcotics division.
Ontario police didn't attend the conference in San Bernardino, but say officers have started receiving training on both drugs.
"We're just now getting educated on that," Swan said.
IPS officials encouraged law enforcement to track incidents and have discussions regarding the drugs. They also offered to assist cities with pursuing local ordinances banning the substances.
"We're hoping as we share this information with them, we can show them how important their voice is regarding this issue in California," Perno said.

Sheriff: No sign of missing teen in new search
BURNS, Ore. (AP) An Oregon sheriff says another search for a missing Oklahoma teen came up empty on Saturday.
Harney County Sheriff Dave Glerup said rescuers returned to Steens Mountain to search areas cleared by melting snow. They found no sign of 19-year-old Dustin Self of Piedmont, Okla., who told his family he wanted to test himself against the wilderness.
Self's pickup truck was found last month on a dirt track on Steens Mountain, where it had gotten stuck about 2 1/2 miles from a county road.
The sheriff says rescuers may search again in a few weeks once more snow melts, but they've checked everywhere they can reach right now.
Glerup says reported sightings of Self in Oregon, Washington and Maine haven't produced any leads to the teenager.

Chicago Bulls forward Taj Gibson is sidelined indefinitely after an MRI exam on Monday revealed a sprained medial collateral ligament in his left knee, according to multiple media reports, a blow to a likely playoff-bound team that has battled injuries seemingly all season long.
Gibson injured his knee in Sunday night's lopsided loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. He tried to play through it for a while but eventually retired to the trainers room.
The MRI the next day confirmed the sprained MCL, an injury that could sideline him a couple of weeks.
The Bulls are already without guard Derrick Rose, who hasn't played this season as he rehabs from a torn ACL suffered last spring, and Kirk Hinrich, who has missed 10 of the team's last 11 games with an injured right elbow.
The Bulls also have been without Joakim Noah for stretches.
Yet they are 31-25, currently in sixth place in Eastern Conference after a rugged stretch in their schedule.
Gibson, who signed an extension early this season worth some $38 million, has struggled to find a rhythm but had played better of late. He is averaging 7.7 points, 5.4 rebounds and 1.4 blocks a game.
His injury, ESPN Chicago noted, will put even more pressure on Carlos Boozer to succeed and produce on both ends of the floor.
The Chicago Tribune was the first to report Gibson's MRI results.

Volunteers across America: New Jersey
My name is Sami Hamdan. I'm 27 years old, I went to Montclair State, and I own a laundromat in north New Jersey. I started with the campaign as an organizing fellow, then stayed on as a volunteer.
These days, I'm the office manager at the New Jersey campaign HQ, and I help run phone banks a few times a week. I'm our team's data lead, so I also help make sure all of our data is entered. I put together volunteer packets, collect "I'm in" cards, and try to get as much information on the ground as I can to help re-elect President Obama.
My father was very sick in 2008, so I wasn't as involved as I wanted to be. I didn't want to miss out the second time around, so I started driving into New York City to make phone calls. When I had the chance to apply as an organizing fellow, I jumped on it right away.
Of all President Obama's policies, the one that hits closest to home is the Affordable Care Act. My father passed away from terminal lung cancer three years ago, and we fell through the Medicare Doughnut Hole. Health care was always a big priority in my family—to have it implemented was huge. I had always thought of it as a pipe dream. It was momentous when it passed—just jubilation.
Just like the rest of the country, people in New Jersey care most about the economy, and the idea of a fair shake for everybody. People really believe they haven't gotten one, and they feel this President is the only one out there fighting to give them a chance. That's why they're so ready to get out and support him. I'm overwhelmed every day by the people who come into the office, and the ones I meet at events—people I never thought I would talk with. I've even met a few who voted Republican the last time around. But everyone is impacted by the work President Obama is doing, and they really do care. It's exciting to see.
My favorite part of volunteering with the campaign—well, first of all, I'm a political dork, so I enjoy the constant political chatter. But other than that, I love meeting other people who are just as passionate as I am about re-electing the President—staff, other volunteers, and organizing fellows. Everyone is putting in so much effort and trying so hard to re-elect the President that it makes getting up and volunteering easy. I have tremendous appreciation for all the work the people around me are doing.
A few months back, I would sometimes bump into people who were still deciding whether to get involved—I see it less and less these days. The next six months are going to be a big battle—just look at the kinds of spending we're up against, and the negative ads the other side is putting out—but we can win if everyone is willing to step up.
Here's what makes my state a little different: We're compact. There are such diverse needs from northern New Jersey to the southern tip, but you can reach the whole thing in one day. You can touch all the bases and see what people need. I don't think you can do that anywhere else, and it's pretty cool.
Wherever you're organizing, stay in touch with Sami by following @OFA_NJ on Twitter.

We would like to publicly thank the many people who helped make the Safe Rides for Ian magic show on Aug. 24 such a big success for the Galloways!
The son of Jason and Melissa Galloway, 3-year-old Ian has neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic order that has given him brain tumors. He also has tumors squeezing his optic nerves. After diagnosis this summer, Ian and his family have driven to Children's Hospital in Omaha weekly for chemotherapy treatments. The fundraiser was held to help the Galloways acquire better transportation. - Editor

After 10 weeks of chemo and anti-seizure medicine, Ian is a new kid. His speech is returning and has a rational thought process again. We hope this means his brain tumors are shrinking. However, the tumors on the optic nerves are causing continual vision loss and we ask for your prayers for this.

Tonight, August 9, 2010, is Jerry Night at ATT Park, in remembrance of the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia, who passed away on this day 15 years ago. I didn't have the heart, stomach, or wallet to attend the game (bassist Phil Lesh and guitarist Bob Weir were scheduled to sing the Star Spangled Banner, while drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann were slotted to do something percussive to get the crowd on its feet during the 7th-inning stretch), but I did stop off on the way to the train to check out the mob scene inside the Public House, a sports bar at the park.
A line snaked out the door, as people clamored for a chance to raise a cold one to the memory of one of the greatest rock guitarists who ever played a note. Live, and loud, Jerry Garcia Band standards such as "Waiting for a Miracle" blared over the PA system, bathing the crowds around the Willie Mays statue in Garcia's signature sound.
Inside, a small display of Garcia and Grateful Dead memorabilia, available for silent auction, greeted people as the walked in the door. Among the pieces for sale (proceeds went to the Bill Graham Foundation, while a portion of ticket sales for certain seats benefited the Dead's Rex Foundation) was a photograph of Garcia the way many fans like to remember him—bearded and smiling, against a backdrop of tie-dye. On the countless screens within the bar, which normally hum with the drone of play-by-play announcers, videos of Garcia playing with his solo band and the Dead dominated. In one montage, I caught repeated images of Garcia and bandmate Weir. If you didn't know better, you'd think you were in the bar upstairs at the Fillmore between sets.
Back outside, I met Dave, who runs the merch stand for the Giants. Black shirts branded with both the Giants logo and the Dead's "Steal Your Face" lighting-bolt skull were selling briskly at 30 bucks a pop. Obligingly, he agreed to pose with one (that's him on the left). Other people (see photo at right) wore their own.

Hello guys,
Im having a big problem with Facebook Like button in Opera.. Look at this scr: It works perfectly on Chrome and FireFox while Opera does not like this button.... If the button is "not clicked yet" it shows a proper button but when I click on it, then it begins..
If you need any additional information, just let me know.Thanks!
PS this is what I use,

and from body
{FACEBOOK}

{/FACEBOOK}
Hi superbk7, welcome to Sitepoint.:)
Those 2 screenshots look the same to me unless I'm missing something
Anyway it would probably be better if we had a link to the site so we could check it out and see if its a css question or not.
Thank you for your answer.Sorry for this late message.
This is the address to my site: http://chill-time.pl/The problem exists only on Opera... Try to like any pic you want, you'll se what is the problem
OK, so clicking the Like button in Opera opens a new page rather than just Liking the page. This presumably is a programming issue, so I'll move this to the JS forum.
The buttom seems to be working for me but I notice in Opera that once clicked it goes to double height. is that what you meant?
If so try this fix:
.button_count .like_button_dark .like_button_no_like .liketext,
.button_count .connect_widget_like_button .liketext{margin-left:0!important}
Hm, odd. For me, in browsers like Chrome, nothing happens except that it's confirmed I now "like" the page, whereas in Opera, a new blank page opens, without "liking" the content.
Yes that's odd! When I click the button in Opera (PC) it turns into a tick but the button height double unlike other browsers and matches the drawing in the first post. I have the Opera 12.1 installed.
I'm really confused... It's really odd when that button works without any problem with Chrome, FF and does not want to work with Opera?Any suggestions how to fix it? Or any alternative code for like button?
So what, in your opinion, is the actual problem? I just realized my mistake: A new window opens if you are not logged in to Facebook in a particular browser so that you can log in. If you are already logged in, the like just gets sent through.
See if this code does anything different. It works fine for me in Opera:

ok, sorry the fix I gave in post#5 was done using opera's dragonfly inspector but it didn't show it was in an iframe so the code won't work.
I've tested this fix in css terminal and it seems to fix the issue.
.fb_ltr {width:94px!important}
Thank you for your help.This code works but... see this:
Try increasing the width:
.fb_ltr {width:401px!important}
You may have to tweak it so suit all.
Or as Ralph suggests above you would need to edit every iframe as required.
