50 GE Air Conditioners Consumer Reviews and Complaints
A link has directed you to this review. Its location on this page may change next time you visit.
After the first time turning it on, there was an immediate loud, rattling noise that came out of it and it shook the whole window. We tried it one more time, hoping that we could figure it out. When we tried it, we realized that the fan inside of it was broke/unhinged from its proper location. This is a disappointing A/C that we are going to have to go through the hassle of returning.
GE 14000-BTU window air conditioner - When it got installed in my window, the next morning when I turned it on, it blew my breaker. Even though my wattage is as it requires, this happened two days in a row. I had to hire someone to up my ampage 5 watts. Still, so it won't make my lights flicker, I unplug most things in my place, and turn it on on low and energy saver and slowly plug things in and turn things on. Even then, when the compressor comes on and surges, the lights sometime flicker. Very nerve racking to deal with all day.
I'm just so upset with this GE product. I purchased a GE 12000 BTU (AEL12AVH1) air conditioner summer of 2016 from Home Depot, it worked fabulously for summer of 2016 and summer 2017. Turn on the AC unit on the first hot days of summer 2018, the fan blows and the compressor comes on but no cold air comes out. Called for repairs, he said it would cost more to fix it than its worth. He said there's a leak and no coolant is in there. I'm crushed as I paid good money for this unit and it still looks brand new. I will never buy a GE product ever again.
Bought a GE 6000 BTU window AC and it has performed very well. It cooled down a 600+ sq ft apartment pretty well which was surprising. Definitely cheaper than central AC if you can go that route. Mine has a maximum wattage of 650 watts while on "High Cool." I highly recommend this unit as it will freeze you out.
Designed by idiots. This piece of junk (GE AEL10AV) is designed to fall out of your window. It cannot be safely installed in a standard American double hung wooden window... like Andersen 400 series. The unit is designed for metal framed windows. A wooden sash will not fit in the undersized channel of the top rail of the unit. DO NOT BUY THIS UNIT!!! It is a disaster and customer service won't admit it. Even GE's own service techs admit it is not designed for an American wooden window. Save your money. Buy LG.

I just wanted everyone to be aware of the window unit air conditioners sold at Home Depot! I bought a 800 btu window unit for a 200 sq/ft room at Home Depot that cost me $430.00 dollars and only lasted me 2 years or in reality just 2 summers or just 6 months. I live in Minneapolis, MN, so our summers are usually just 3 months long. My warranty was just one year, so I had to pay to have it looked at (100.00 dollars). The technician told me that my compressor was shot, and I asked how could that be? He said that it is quite common for GE a/c units to go bad after 2 years, even though I bought it brand new at Home Depot! GE told me that I was out of luck! Thus, I just wanted to warn all consumers to watch out for GE A/C units. I will never ever buy another GE product! Sincerely disappointed GE customer.
Has made mine and my dogs live. Easy to deal with. Not many shade trees here so full sun all the time. I also love to cook so it helps with the oven being on as well. Never has been any problem. Works great. Cools my house down really fast and keeps me and my dog from roasting in the hot summer. Well it's a normal nice looking wall air conditioner with buttons, some knobs and slats for the air to get through. They all pretty much look the same but the quality is good and sturdy. It never fail me. It's a workhorse and I'm happy it has never been a problem. A little noise but not a lot. Well it always turns on so I'd call that very reliable.
It works quickly to cool down rooms and it has helped me get through hot days and nights. I have owned it for 10 years and it is still working. I am satisfied with its performance and recommend it to anyone in the market for an air conditioner. This air conditioner is typical of all others as it looks the same as other brands. It has vents for the air to circulate and a remote control. It is simple to use.
I think GE air conditioner is quite cost effective and consumes less electricity without any compromise in performance. I am just critical of loud noises it makes. It performs great and fulfills all the cooling needs of an average household. I totally recommend it. It's a nice air conditioner. It performs really well. Its looks are really good and attractive. Colors are pretty and goes with my home decor. I wish it comes in more different colors and patterns. They are quite reliable and sturdy. I am using one since last 2 years and yet to experience any breakdown. I am fully satisfied as far as reliability is concerns.
It worked well. I was pleased with its performance for the price I paid. I wasn't sure it would cool the amount of space I needed it to, and it did. It looked as good as other models. I've used it for 3 years now, still going strong.
Provides much needed relief in hot summer months. Very reliable and efficient. A good bargain for the quality of product. Easy to use. Good output. Keeps the entire place cool. Going strong and runs silently, Performs very well for the price paid. Not too clunky. Fits into the appropriate area without being an eye sore. Color matches the surroundings. Not too big for area. Looks good. Works perfectly. Has not needed any repairs. Has not shut off unexpectedly. Runs as it is supposed to. No change since the first day of purchase.
Very well made product that is affordable. A brand that is very reliable. Does a great job. Worth the price. Easy to use and install. Recognizable brand for parts and servicing in needed. Puts forth the performance you expect and more. Very quiet compared to other models looked at at the time of buying the one we have. Variable settings to be able to adjust output as desired.
Most of these units are very standard. Not a lot of difference in outside appearances across the board. Made to be very generic in most cases. GE is a basic color and blends in with the surrounding room and walls very well. Doesn't stick out as offensive. Has stood up over time. Never had any issues with the performance or the use. Works every time its turned on. Never had any issues with the cord, the output, the controls or the motor.
I like the make of these air conditioners. They cool very well and save energy. I always have I set at 70 always. Does require a lot of cleaning of the filters. The performance is awesome. It cools very well in my house set at 70 degrees. I currently have three window units in my house. They save you a lot of energy. The only thing is the filters do dirty real quick if you're in a rural area. The appearance is good. It all depends on what you are looking for. Although it would be nice if they would start making the air conditioners in darker colors because white gets dirty too easily. The reliability of the air conditioner is awesome. Like I stated before it cools very well. I have three of them in my home and currently just use one to keep my home cool at 100 degrees outside so it's very reliable.
This product has brought great joy and comfort into my life and it is something I use nearly all year long. I have had my GE air conditioner for 3 years now and it still runs like brand new! I have never had any issues and it helps to improve my quality of life and gives me peace of mind. I feel so lucky that I was able to afford to out this in my home! GE products from my experience, have always been modern and up-to-date. It fits well in the space chosen and it has a very sleek and innovative feel and look. Overall, this product has not given me anything but complete satisfaction. I would recommend GE products to anyone and everyone that I know.
It worked well, fast, very nice brand, very efficient. Also didn't cost much to run. Keeps room cold for hours. Worth the money. Would purchase again. Cools rooms fast. Keeps them cool for hours. Doesn't cost too much to run. Very powerful, good brand. It was a nice, white unit. Perfect size, fits in window good. It wasn't too fancy but it looks nice. Very reliable, quiet too. Never gave us grief, always held up. I would definitely recommend this unit to people.
The unit was in line with others on the market. It worked well for many, many years. I would purchase another if I were in the market for a new a/c. It was fine. No major repairs were needed. We just needed to add Freon from time to time. It was energy efficient for the time. Plus it was not as noisy as some other units. It looked like an a/c unit. They generally are not the most attractive machines. There was some shrubbery around it which hid it and muffled noise. It kept us cool for many summers. It really was a good unit.
This air conditioner has been such a valuable part of our daily life in the summer months here in Maine. We use it in our main rooms to keep cool and it works great. This air conditioner performs very well for our family. We have had it now for 3 seasons and it has not failed us yet. It cools our room very fast and then we are able to put it on fan mode to maintain the coolness. The appearance of this air conditioner is nice enough. It is white and is not too bulky. It fits in with our room decor and actually creates a nice accent to the furniture. This air conditioner is very reliable. It works whenever we need it to.
I have certainly gotten my money worth for the years it has lasted. I would buy another GE air conditioner without hesitation. It continues to run without a problem after many years so I believe I have gotten my money's worth and therefore received a good value in my purchase of GE air conditioner. I have owned this GE air conditioner for years without a maintenance or problem issue. Can't ask for much more regarding reliability.
GE air conditioners always kept our home cool and comfortable - the cost of running them was affordable and we felt like we got what we paid for. The performance of these air conditioners was always very satisfactory. We never had a problem with them and got many years of use from them. The air conditioning units were nice looking and fit into the room appearance just fine. Whether it was in the bedroom, kitchen or living room, the air conditioners did not distract from the rooms appearance. Every GE air conditioning unit that we have ever had was very reliable. We did not need any repairs on any of them during the time we had them.
The product that I have is very Energy efficient and extremely reliable. The product is very Low maintenance and extremely easy to use. We are very happy with our product and experience. This product works great and is very reliable. We never had to fix any part and it cools down the house greatly. We will and have recommended this product to friends and family. This product is very nice looking, it is not an eye sore and looks very nice sitting in our window. We have had many comments about how it fits perfectly and is not loud at all. This product has easy buttons and maintenance. It is pretty much self explanatory and the filter is extremely easy to clean out. It has a beautiful timer on it so we can set on/off times.
It's made life more comfortable for me and my family. We absolutely need our GE air conditioner during the summer when it's really hot. My family is grateful for a good working air conditioner that GE provides. This thing is a workhorse. We've had it for 9 years and it's still a solid performer. I would absolutely buy a GE air conditioner again if something were to ever happen to our current one. The appearance is about what you would expect for an air conditioner. I would recommend GE to my family members and friends. This is as reliable as it gets when it comes to an air conditioner.
Price varies on how powerful, large, or small you want the air conditioner to be but whatever you pay it's well worth the price if it entails a cooler home. They perform great and are long lasting. I haven't had any issues with my air conditioner and it's been quite a while since we purchased it. Appearance shouldn't be everything especially when it comes to ac's because physically they aren't appealing but it's the inside that matters such as the motor and such. They're very reliable. If they weren't I would assume that the company wouldn't produce other household products such as light bulb and other ac devices.
Even though I'm not in a southern state the heat bothers me immensely. Having my bedroom cool is necessary. The excessive heat makes me ill. This a.c. unit is a very small window unit, as my bedroom is very small. It worked very well the first year, but wasn't cooling as well the next year. Filter is clean, not sure why or if it can be recharged. No info available on that. Fit very nicely in a small window, without gaps in either side. Looks as nice as possible for a window unit. Not a whole lot of unit sticking outside the window, so it doesn't look ugly. Easy to install also. I've used it now for 4 years, it still works well enough.
It kept us very cool at night in a bedroom on the second floor. We were able to sleep very comfortably and sometimes we even used a light blanket. It worked very well in an extremely warm room upstairs and there was not even much of a jump in our electric bill. Each time we turned it on it did not take long to cool down our very large bedroom. It was a very modern looking unit and when the drapes were closed in the room that it was in you could not even tell that it was there (that is - when the GE air conditioning unit was shut off). Each and every time that we turned our unit on it would cool down our large bedroom very quickly. It was also a very quiet unit and even if my little baby granddaughter came to visit, it did not wake her.
Excellent. Worked fine. Loved it. It's easy to use, convenient, durable. We have has this air conditioner for over 3 years and still works amazing. Cools a room in minutes without any problems. Doesn't make a loud noise.
It was cheaper than a lot of brands and worked for more years. It wasn't the cheapest brand but it definitely had better quality than the cheapest brand. Stayed cool for 6 years before it needed to have more coolant put in it. After year six we moved though and left it for the next renters. It was a good air conditioner though. I liked the digital temperature and numbers on the air conditioner, and I certainly liked having the remote with it. The remote was very convenient. I never had a problem with the air conditioner until year six. It always worked just fine every time we turned it on and it blew cool air.
My mistake to buy in summer. Better price at the end of the year. Price matching helps. Shopping around is best idea. Gets nice and cold. Some days I need a blanket but it sure feels good on days when the temperature is so hot outside to come into the cold air. Normal color would be nice in color choices but takes up a small space. Is what you expect in a air conditioner. Doesn't stand out or too bulky. Works great and feels so good on really hot days. Stays at the temperature you select but sleep setting is nice for when you're not home.
My house was very small but very hot. They had cut down the only shade tree due to disease. That little window air conditioner cooled the whole house. I used it for 6 years. It was still going strong when I moved. I only paid $100 for it - so I got my money's worth out of it. The performance was awesome. Never stammered once. It was on 24-7 a lot. Sturdiest appliance I ever had. Were I ever in the position to need one again I would try and get one as close to that one as I could find. Nothing fancy just a little white box sitting in the window. I had a friend take plywood and build a frame around the air conditioner to keep the weather and heat out. Had to build a stand for it too. I never doubted its performance once. I could come home after being gone all day or even after being gone several days and I knew I could just turn it on. I would pack it away in the storage shed for months in the winter. Take it out in the summer, dust it off and plug it in.
GE products are worth what you pay for them. They are reliable and last a long time. I own several GE products. GE had the very best price on a hot water heater. I have had it several years. It was easy to install myself. I also have a GE wall oven and a GE air conditioner. I love them all. All my GE appliances do what they are expected to do. They do not ever seem to wear out or need much maintenance or expensive maintenance. The appliances look as good as any other modern appliances on the market today. They come in color and styles that match the decor of most homes. I have not had any problems with the GE products that I own. They have never needed repairs.
It was very nice and worked great and I didn't pay too much. The unit is still in my home today and it saves energy. We all love it and use it. It's really quiet and it's really not that big to where it takes a lot of space and it works real good - cools the whole house down quick and doesn't cost me much. It's about 2 by 4 and it's silver and when it's running you can't hear or see the fan moving and you really can't see the hoses that much. It is more than reliable. It's great and it's still like it's brand new. I don't think it will ever quit working but everything will eventually stop working one day. It just doesn't seem like this will.

Inexplicably beloved, especially by European fans, this bizarre family film is a musical homage to '30s gangster movies that stars a cast of children whose singing voices are dubbed by adults. Befitting the juvenile cast, certain elements of criminal culture are softened, so instead of shooting each other with bullets, the crooks blast each other with "splurge guns," which shoot gobs of whipped cream. Similarly, drivers propel cars by pushing bicycle pedals. Yet instead of completely reimagining the universe of old James Cagney flicks in order to suit kids, writer-director Alan Parker simply slots juveniles into adult clothes and situations. So, for instance, star Scott Baio wears pinstriped suits, and costar Jodie Foster, playing a bad girl, walks around with feather boas and whorish makeup.
The weirdest aspect of the movie, however, is how straight Parker plays the material. Even though he includes campy dialogue and goofy slapstick, Parker employs such a painterly visual quality that if adults occupied the evocative frames instead of children, Bugsy Malone would seem positively dour. The same is true of the picture's musical aspect. One of the best songs, "Tomorrow," is the lament of an African-American janitor upset that a nightclub owner won't allow the janitor to audition for a dancing job. This is kid stuff? Why any of this seemed like a good idea is a mystery, and why Parker considered himself suited to preteen entertainment is equally incomprehensible. Lest we forget, the man's next movie was the brutal prison drama Midnight Express (1978), wherein Parker proved more adept with rape scenes than with "splurge guns."
Nonetheless, given Bugsy Malone's cult-favorite status and the impressive credentials the movie accrued during its original release—including a Golden Globe nomination for Best Picture (Musical/Comedy)—it's clear that many viewers have discovered virtues in Parker's oddball endeavor. Presumably, much of the affection fans feel toward Bugsy Malone stems from the unique gifts of tunesmith Paul Williams. Williams' Bugsy Malone numbers range from perfunctory musical-theater songs to standouts including "Tomorrow" and the ballad "Ordinary Fool." Hearing these songs delivered by adult singers reveals that Williams was operating at a more sophisticated level than the movie itself. Other points of interest include the presence of Baio, who transitioned from this movie to a lengthy run as streetwise kid Chachi Arcola in the TV series Happy Days, and that of the incomparable Foster, whose other 1976 releases included Freaky Friday and Taxi Driver.
Bugsy Malone: FUNKY

Annual General Meetings and General Meetings
An AGM is simply a General Meeting of members that is held annually.
It is possible that the Articles of Association do not state that an AGM must be held. (This is common with companies registered before 2006 as the previous companies acts all required companies to hold an AGM and therefore there was no need to incorporate this requirement in the Articles of Association). This changed when Part 13 (sec281 – sec361) of the Companies Act 2006 came into effect on 1 October 2007. The 2006 Companies Act now applies by default and unless the Articles of Association are amended by special resolution to require an AGM there is no longer any requirement to hold one unless the meeting is called by:
a) The Directors – giving 14 clear days' notice or any longer period stated in the Articles (s307). Note that the clear days includes weekends and bank holidays (Model Articles s41(5)). The 14 days' notice can be reduced or waived provided the holders of at least 90% of the voting rights agree (unless a greater percentage is required by the company articles up to a maximum of 95%). (s307(4)).
b) One or more Members – A member who has more than 5% of the voting rights may ask the directors to call a general meeting.
Note: To discourage members from regularly requesting meetings, the percentage is increased to 10% if a meeting has already been held within the past 12 months. The percentage relates to the voting rights, not 5% of the number of members so a single, large shareholder could make the request.
Within 21 days the directors must resolve to call the meeting and then it must actually be held within 28 days of the notice date (s304). If the directors do not convene the meeting, s305 enables the members to do so at the company's expense.
- Whoever convenes the meeting must send the notice to every member, every director and anyone notified to the company as being entitled to a share on the death or bankruptcy of a member (subject to the articles) (s310).
- The notice can be sent electronically to members including being posted on the company website (s308/309).

MP praises engineering firm's apprenticeship initiative
Published: 03 October, 2016
Alcester engineering company Smith Brothers and Webb was won praise for its foresight from local MP Nadhim Zahawi who visited its headquarters to see at first hand the opportunities being offered to young people.
The Conservative politician heard the company, which exports Britannia automated washing machines for trains, trams, buses, commercial and public service vehicles all over the world, is looking to launch a new apprenticeship scheme. And it also aims to recruit more engineers to join its dedicated installation, repair and maintenance teams in the UK.
The expansion comes as the company enjoys a growing order book from UK bus and commercial fleet operators and buoyant sales abroad, especially from the Far East, Middle East, India and Australia.
Mr Zahawi toured the factory with chairman Harvey Alexander, director Andy Barracliffe and marketing manager Simon Tipple who explained the operation and its role in both the UK and global vehicle cleaning marketplace.
He described the company as a niche business and one which would provide a fantastic foundation for young people wishing to pursue a career in engineering.
He said: 'Stratford on Avon has a thriving business community and Smith Brothers and Webb sit alongside the best we have to offer; they're a real jewel in the crown. It is fantastic to have this outstanding business on our doorstep, making a real impact across the world.
'The opportunities that the company has to offer school leavers in the area are really impressive. It's great to see innovative businesses offering valuable apprenticeship programmes like this in my constituency and I look forward to young people seizing this chance to pursue a rewarding career in engineering.'
Andy Barracliffe, director of Britannia Washing Systems – part of the Smith Brothers and Webb group – said: 'We see plenty of opportunities for further expansion and, in order to secure a pool of suitable skills for the years ahead, we are launching an apprenticeship scheme that will open up rewarding careers in engineering to young people.
'We want to grow local talent to protect and preserve the proud culture of innovation and engineering excellence in the Midlands which Smith Brothers & Webb has been contributing to for the past 70 years.'
Mr. Zahawi added: 'As a government we continue to remain committed to having three million apprenticeships in place by 2020 and to achieve this target it is vital that both corporates and SMEs come forward to support this initiative.
'It is, therefore, particularly pleasing to see companies recognising the importance of apprenticeships to protect the all-important skill sets which have led to their success.'

Ricoh Announces the New Pentax K-70 - a 24-Megapixel DSLR with Professional Level Build Quality, including Weather SealingRicoh has announced the Pentax K-70, a new state-of-the-art DSLR model with a 24.4-Megapixel APS-C size CMOS Imaging Sensor that is designed to take high quality images in a wide variety of conditions, with advanced features like Phase Detection AF Autofocus built into the Imaging Sensor, a software only AA (anti-aliasing) filter to reduce the blurring impact many other sensors have, combined with features like Pixel Binning and a Pentax In Body Shake Reduction System to improve image sharpness in more conditions.
The new Pentax K-70 also sports a Professional Level Build Quality by using a rugged Magnesium Alloy Body, with Weather Sealing that allows photographers to take great photos in harsher conditions. This new Pentax does not fall short of expectations in other areas either, as it allows a user to take photos in lower light at ISO speeds of up to 104,800, and offers high speed shooting at up to 6 frames per second for capturing rapidly moving subjects.
The new K-70 also incorporates a glass prism viewfinder that features the same optics and coatings as those used in higher-end Pentax models, giving users a field of view that is close to 100%, while still providing a nice vari-angle LCD for use with Live View, Image Playback, and reviewing Camera Settings. Of course, this new model also lets you record HD Video, and includes advanced features like 4K Interval Video Capture.
The Bottom Line is that the new Pentax K-70 has a very impressive list of features, and we hope to spend some time with this camera soon to explore them. The Pentax K-70 will be available in both black and silver finishes, and you will be be able to buy one in July from Authorized Dealers. It can also be purchased directly from Ricoh Imaging, and will sell for a suggested list price of $649.95
Ricoh is stating that key features for the new Pentax K-70 DSLR Camera include the following:
1. Super-high-resolution images captured with approximately 24.24 effective megapixels and a top sensitivity of ISO 102,400
The PENTAX K-70 features a state-of-the-art CMOS image sensor with approximately 24.24 effective megapixels to assure high-speed, 14-bit image data readout. Combined with an AA-filter-free optical design, this image sensor delivers super-high-resolution images. Also, by coupling a newly developed accelerator unit with the high-speed PRIME MII imaging engine, the PENTAX K-70 effectively minimizes noise at all sensitivity levels, and captures richly gradated, finely detailed images at high ISO.
2. Hybrid AF system for high-speed AF operation during Live View shooting
The PENTAX K-70 employs PENTAX's first Hybrid AF system during Live View autofocus operation. By positioning a contrast-detection AF sensor with superior focusing accuracy and a phase-matching AF sensor on the image sensor's surface, this innovative hybrid system optimizes the benefits of both AF systems to assure high-speed and accurate auto focus.
3. Dustproof, weather-resistant body perfect for rugged outdoor photography
The PENTAX K-70 combines a compact, body with dustproof, weather-resistant construction and outstanding cold-weather performance at temperatures down to 14° F (-10°C). It features a new contoured grip design and easy access to mode dial and control buttons. The LCD monitor features a brightness level that can be instantly adjusted to any environment, and also red-light mode which keeps ambient light from interfering with astronomical photography.
4. High-precision autofocus system with the SAFOX X module
The PENTAX K-70 features the high-precision SAFOX X AF sensor module, which assures responsive, dependable autofocus operation. With its 11 sensors, including nine cross-type sensors in the middle, this AF module assures pinpoint focus on the subject at a minimum brightness level as low as -3 EV. The PENTAX K-70 assures outstanding AF tracking performance with subjects on the move, thanks to such advanced features as the Select-area Expansion function, which automatically refocuses on a moving subject after it moves away from the initial point, with the help of the neighboring points; and an AF Hold function that maintains the initial in-focus point even when the module loses sight of the subject.
5. PENTAX-original shake-reduction (SR) system featuring the Pixel Shift Resolution System
(1) In-body SR mechanism
Using the built-in PENTAX-original SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, the PENTAX K-70 effectively minimizes camera shake and delivers sharp, blur-free images, even in camera-shake-prone conditions.
(2) Pixel Shift Resolution System with motion
correction function
Capturing four images of the same scene by shifting the image sensor by a single pixel for each image, the Pixel Shift Resolution System* then synthesizes them into a single composite image. This innovative system obtains all color data in each pixel to deliver super-high-resolution images with far more truthful colors and much finer details than those produced by conventional APS-C-size image sensors. A motion correction function**, which automatically detects a moving object during the synthesizing process, to accommodate a wider range of scenes and subjects.
(3) Innovative AA filter simulator to minimize
By applying microscopic vibrations to the image sensor unit at the sub-pixel level during image exposure, the PENTAX K-70's AA (anti-aliasing) filter simulator*** provides the same level of moiré reduction as an optical AA filter. Unlike an optical AA filter, this innovative simulator lets the user adjust the level of the moire correction.
(4) Supportive shooting functions
Since the PENTAX K-70's SR unit has a flexible design that shifts the image sensor unit in all directions, it provides a host of handy shooting functions, including ASTRO TRACER, which simplifies advanced astronomical photography when combined with the optional O-GPS1 GPS Unit.
* When using this system, the user is advised to stabilize the camera firmly on a tripod. When a moving subject is captured in the camera's image field, its image may not be reproduced clearly, either in part or as a whole.
** The movement may not be sufficiently corrected when the object is moving in a certain direction and/or pattern. This function does not guarantee that the movement is properly corrected with all subjects.
*** This function works most effectively with a shutter speed of 1/1000 second or slower. This function may not be combined with some shooting modes, including the Pixel Shift Resolution system.
6. Optical viewfinder with nearly 100-percent field of view
Within its compact body, the PENTAX K-70 incorporates a glass prism finder featuring the same optics and coatings as those used in higher-level models. A nearly 100-percent field of view and a magnification of approximately 0.95 times provides a wide, bright image field for easy focusing and framing.
7. High-speed shutter to capture fast-moving subjects in crisp focus
With a top shutter speed of 1/6000 second coupled with its high-speed continuous shooting function of up to six images per second, the K-70 is is perfect for capturing fast moving subjects at sporting events or wildlife.
8. Upgraded Full HD movie recording
The PENTAX K-70 captures high-resolution, Full HD movies with stereo sound using a built-in stereo microphone. In combination with compatible lenses, it allows the user to use the Continuous AF (AF-C) mode* to keep accurate focus on a moving subject, or take advantage of a new aperture control function** to automatically assure a proper exposure level even in fluctuating lighting conditions during movie recording. It also provides a host of distinctive visual effects for movie production, including the 4K Interval Movie mode that connects a series of 4K-resolution still images at a fixed interval to create a single movie file, and a Star Stream mode to fade in and out the traces of stars to recorded movies.
* During movie recording, the Continuous AF
(AF-C) mode can be used in combination with the HD PENTAX-DA 55-300mm
F4.5-6.3ED PLM WR RE or smc PENTAX-DA 18-135mm F3.5-5.6ED
AL[IF] DC WR lens. Access the RICOH IMAGING official website for
** During movie recording, the aperture control function is available only in combination with the HD PENTAX-DA 55-300mm F4.5-6.3ED PLM WR RE lens.
9. Vari-angle LCD monitor for easy image viewing from all angles
The PENTAX K-70's vari-angle LCD monitor allows for the positioning of the monitor at any desired angle, making it easier to compose the image in a wide variety of applications.
10. An array of functional customization options
The PENTAX K-70 provides three USER modes and two Fx (Function) buttons, to which the user can assign desired camera settings depending on their shooting preferences. Three settings (CLEAR TONE, HDR LANDSCAPE and ASTROPHOTO) are preprogrammed in the camera as default.
11. Wireless LAN connection to support smartphone operation
By installing the dedicated ImageSync application on a mobile device, the user can remotely check the Live View image, capture still images, adjust such camera settings as aperture, shutter speed and ISO sensitivity to the desired level through the mobile device, as well as download captured images onto the mobile device, then upload them on social networking service websites.
12. Other features
77-segment multi-pattern metering system for high-precision light metering
DR (Dust Removal) mechanism
Clarity control and Skin Tone correction functions --the latest image processing technologies developed by RICOH Central Laboratory
Timed exposure for capturing exposures up to 20 minutes in Bulb mode
A selection of imaging tools such as Custom Images, Digital Filters and Scene Modes
Optional Accessory
CS-310 Cable Switch: Attached to the PENTAX K-70's microphone terminal, this one-meter-long cable switch helps prevent camera shake when using a macro or telephoto lens, allowing the user to release the camera's shutter without touching the camera.

Ricoh Imaging unveils weather-resistant, advanced digital SLR camera designed for the great outdoors
PENTAX K-70 incorporates speedy, high-accuracy AF, ultra-sensitive imaging engine and other technologies for producing high-resolution images in a wide variety of challenging conditions
DENVER, June 8, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation today announced the PENTAX K-70 advanced digital single-lens reflex (SLR) camera. Compact, dustproof and weather-resistant, the new PENTAX K-70 camera incorporates features -- many of which have previously only been available on top-of-the-line PENTAX models -- that enable photographers to produce high-resolution still photos and HD videos in a wide variety of challenging conditions, including low light and temperatures as low as 14°F (-10°C). The camera's weather-resistant capabilities and compact design make it an ideal photographic companion for hikers, climbers and snow sports enthusiasts, as well as for nature and landscape photographers.
With a newly developed image accelerator unit providing a top sensitivity of ISO 102,400, plus the PENTAX-developed PRIME MII image processor, the PENTAX K-70 is capable of capturing high-quality images in extremely low-light conditions. A new Hybrid Autofocus (AF) system, integrating both image-plane phase-matching and contrast-detection autofocus technologies, delivers fast and accurate autofocus, and -- in a PENTAX "first" -- continuous auto focus is available for HD video recording.
"PENTAX has a long history of developing cameras and lenses that can withstand the rigors of the great outdoors. The K-70 goes a step further, with new, advanced features that enable the creation of higher quality images and make the camera very easy to use, both in the backyard and in the field," said Kaz Eguchi, president, Ricoh Imaging Americas Corporation. "Combined with any one of our many available weather-resistant lenses, this camera is in a class of its own for outdoor photography."
The PENTAX K-70 provides a variety of advanced features found only in Ricoh's high-grade PENTAX K-series models, such as the PENTAX Pixel Shift Resolution System, which produces high-resolution, finely detailed images. These also include an AA Filter Simulator that effectively eliminates moiré without the need for an anti-aliasing filter, a variable-tilt LCD monitor, and an in-body shake-reduction mechanism that reduces the effects of camera shake up to 4.5 shutter steps. The K-70 also incorporates built-in Wi-Fi for remote shooting and easy transfer to smart devices using Ricoh's dedicated Image Sync app.
The PENTAX K-70's exterior is designed with outdoor operations in mind. Features such as a newly designed grip, mode dial and control buttons on the camera's top and back panels are designed to be easy and intuitive to operate, even with a gloved hand. It also comes equipped with an outdoor-friendly LCD monitor with an illumination control that can be instantly adjusted to the lighting level of any shooting location. The K-70 also has a red-light display function which keeps ambient light from interfering with astro- and nightscape photography
In conjunction with the PENTAX K-70 camera, Ricoh Imaging is announcing the HD PENTAX-DA 55-300mm f/4.5-6.3ED PLM WR RE lens, a compact, weather-resistant telephoto zoom (see details in separate news release, also issued today); plus the Cable Switch CS-310, a remote shutter release designed especially for use with the K-70.

Availability of the PENTAX K-70 camera, which comes in black and silky silver finishes, will be announced at the beginning of July. When available, it can be purchased at www.ricohimaging.com for $649.95, as well as at Ricoh Imaging-authorized retail outlets throughout North America.

Last month, prosecutors requested four years in prison for An, who has been charged with five counts of indecent act by compulsion, four counts of sexual abuse by occupational authority, and one count of indecent acts through abuse of occupational authority. An has pleaded not guilty to all of the charges, saying that his relationship with his ex-secretary was "romantic" and consensual.
Women's rights activists and legal experts say the upcoming verdict is a significant one to watch, given that not many suspects of sexual abuse by occupational authority have been found guilty -- unless the victims were children or individuals with severe physical or mental disabilities. If An is found guilty, experts say, it will set a precedent -- a lack of physical resistance does not always indicate consensual sex, especially in cases of power harassment at workplaces.
|Former South Chungcheong Provincial Gov. An Hee-jung leaves the Seoul Western District Court after attending a trial on July 17. (Yonhap)
An's accuser, Kim Ji-eun, first made the claims that led to the charges on live TV on March 5, saying that she was raped by An four times while working as his secretary from 2017 to February this year.
She said she was raped by An in Switzerland and Russia, among other places, while they were on business trips together.
While working for An, Kim said, it had virtually been impossible to reject his advances due to the power imbalance between the two, as An was a powerful politician and her superior at work.
"An would always tell me, 'Don't share your opinions, don't share your thoughts. Live as if you were my shadow.'" Kim said during the TV interview in March. "I was never able to question him on anything. I always had to obey him."
In response to her accusations, An's lawyer has been stressing that unlike "people with disabilities and children," Kim is a "highly educated woman who is both intelligent and independent," and therefore it would have been impossible for any work superior to abuse their authority to sexually exploit her.
Women's rights activists criticized the comments, claiming they were disrespectful to both Kim and survivors of childhood sexual abuse, women with disabilities and those with less education.
A number of An's former aides, as well as his wife, have testified in favor of An, saying they have never witnessed him abusing his power at work. An's wife, Min Joo-won, testified she had sensed that Kim had formed romantic feelings for her husband.
An's charges are punishable by up to 10 years in prison or a fine of 15 million won ($13,287).

At Keystone we do things differently, and have since we first opened our doors in 1996. This different way means focusing on you, our customer, and building RVs that are much more than great floor plans and prices. It starts with innovative products that are built tough, and doesn't stop there. It's our commitment to provide a better ownership experience. We understand that when you put your hard earned money down, you expect your RV to deliver as promised. That's why "Building Adventures for the Long Haul" is more than just a slogan here at Keystone; it is our number one mission each and every day. It's the reason today we are honored to say we have nearly one million Keystone owners out on the open road who we consider family.

About 13 years on from his appearance in the documentary series The Office, a documentary film crew is once again following the life of David Brent. He is now working as a rep for cleaning goods distributor but still harbours dreams of making it big in the music business. Acting on this, he takes three weeks off work and tours with a new-look version of Foregone Conclusion, the band he was in in the 90s (he's the only remaining original member, for various reasons…).

"I will climb up into my watchtower now and wait to see what the Lord will say to me and how He will answer my complaint. Then the Lord said to me, 'Write My answer in large, clear letters on a tablet.....But these things I plan won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently, for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed." Habakkuk 2:1-3
Time lag: The period of time between two closely related events; between cause and effect.....That's a good, secular understanding of the term, but a friend recently gave it a spiritual one as well......and coined a better, I think, rendering; Lag time. He said that lag time is the difference between the Fathers giving of a promise and the realization of that promise. The gap between the two can be wide and that it was in that gap that most people "bail out." I think most of us are living in some form of lag time.
I heard a man once describe the length of time between His closing of one door and the opening of another as "Hell in the hallway." It's a kind of limbo. A place where we may not have any word from Him, and all that we do have is the Word(s) He has already spoken. It is on those words that we have to stand, and we can be sure that while we stand upon them, we will be mightily tested. Living in the lag time is an extremely uncomfortable way of life. I think it will always be part of the cost of realizing the vision He has given, and that is key. It must be HIS vision.
There is something else to know here. God gave this promise to Habakkuk, but Habakkuk would not live to see its fulfillment. He would be among those heroes of the faith listed in Hebrews who died trusting in His promises though they were not fulfilled in his lifetime. This is one of the greatest reasons that we "bail out" in lag time. Everything must be realized now! We only understand, or think we do, what's happening now. We have little concept of the eternal, and the eternal purpose of God. Eternity is always His central perspective. It is rarely ours. Our personal fulfillment and purposes being realized are not His greatest concern. His are. Few of us seem able to handle or accept that. Flesh life cannot live or survive in the lag time. Only Spirit life can.
There's something else to know here in the matter of His promises and visions. Habakkuk desired with all his heart to hear from God. So much so that he went up into a spiritual watchtower to do so. In that place he would stay until he did. If we are to hear and have word from Him, we can do no less. We cannot stay on the earthbound plane where the eyes of flesh reign. We have to have hearts that rise up in His Spirit in order to "see" and "hear" from Him. We need to be in our own watchtowers, looking for and expecting to behold Him. He will speak. And what He speaks and promises will almost surely involve for us lag time. It will involve our own hell in the hallway. What we must answer there is the question of whether will we trust Him? Will we hold to the promise and vision He shows us? Will we refuse to bail out, to lose heart in the lag time? We'll be confronted by these questions, but only if we dare to ascend to the watchtower. Ground level sight and life have a difficult time hearing or seeing anything but what is happening on the ground. Yet, as His word promises, if we will look up, we will see our redemption drawing near. Even in the lag time.

In polite company using the slang phrase "You got screwed" may be a regarded as unseemly, perhaps even rude. Among friends though, everyone understands the phrase means that you got bilked or cheated. The sad fact is that we've all been screwed by government programs that were designed ostensibly to help us. A perfect example is the most recent recession which was caused by government programs that were supposed to help us. Instead of helping, federal housing programs forced institutions to make bad loans, created massive housing inflation by inflating the credit market which was followed by a bust that still has many underwater on their mortgages. President Obama's first term is full of programs that hurt far more than they help, funded by borrowed money. Here is a a short list of programs, what their end result was, and who got screwed.
These are but 5 examples that come from thousands of pages of legislation that have been passed during President Obama's first term. An underlying problem with Obama's programs is that the people dreaming them up them have little or no experience with a functioning marketplace. The administration has proven that it has no respect for the unintended consequences of government interference. The same administration has proven that it doesn't care how much debt the government takes on. President Obama's total disregard for fiscal responsibility has brought us a national debt that is now more than 16 trillion dollars! That's more than 51,000 for every person that lives in the United States.
You've been screwed.
Is it any wonder that voters are breaking for Mitt Romney, a man that understands how the economy works, how markets work, and actually has a plan for our nation's future?

Research In Motion really seems to want the Pearl 9100 / 9105 to be a stellar device once released. Thus, the reason we keep seeing so many OS releases for this device. So far .676 is the highest build around. If you have this device or you're a hybrid builder, you'll find this OS to your liking.

Everyone is into intelligent technology and smart devices nowadays. That is why it only seems natural that industries and homeowners turn to smart devices for saving energy and going green.
The power grid is the worlds biggest machine. It is composed of a network of power plants, transmission towers, poles and wires. A recent report called The Smart Grid: An Estimation of the Energy and CO2 Benefits, from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory stresses how an efficient smart grid can be used as a powerful tool against climate change. Research scientist Rob Pratt said that they wanted to show the added contribution of the smart grid meter to the nations goal of mitigating climate change through the reduction of carbon footprint from electric power systems.
Smart grid meters may be used to cut down waste. The United States Energy Information Administration said that more than half of the energy generated is wasted in generation and transmission. Energy is wasted usually through unused but running lights and electronic appliances. According to the Department of Energy, the waste in energy results in $4 billion in expenses in the United States every year.
The Pacific Northwest National Laboratory reported that there are nine ways smart grids can reduce carbon emissions, including smart-grid enabled diagnostics in residential and commercial buildings, use of demand- response systems, voltage regulation and control systems, and positive responses from informed consumers; which are expected to result in a 12 percent emission reduction by 2030 if fully implemented.
Another reason why smart grid programs can help battle climate change is because smart grid standards lessen operational costs for renewable program deployment. Savings from the program can be invested to more emission reduction projects for the future.
According to Mr. Pratt, getting savings for use in future clean energy projects is important because many states have an electricity sector renewable portfolio goal of 20 to 30 percent for 2030.
Full implementation of smart grid technologies in the United States could inhibit at least 442 million metric tons of carbon emission, equivalent 66 coal power plants. Just last November, the U.S. Department of Energy supported the city of Sacramento with a $127.5 million smart grid stimulus funding, to aid in pushing forward Californias green building initiative. The smart grid stimulus federal grant program aims to design, run, and manage an urban smart grid utility system for clients of various types and volume.
Many countries are starting to see the benefits of smart grid programs and starting to invest in various brands and types of smart grid meters, including the GE smart grid. China is not one to get left behind in the smart grid bandwagon, as it overtakes the United States in the smart grid investment. This year, China plans a $7.32 billion smart grid investment, which is more than U.S. $7.09 billion, as reported by ZPryme. China is increasing their investment in smart grids heavily because of the looming energy requirement in the country which is predicted to double over the following decade.

The dust-up with Israel has some folks wondering if the Obama administration is going out of its way to be unfriendly to America's friends.
Add Mexico to the list. How galling it must be for Mexican President Felipe Calderón -- who is locked in a bloody war with drug cartels that are bankrolled by the consumption habits of Americans and armed with guns smuggled to Mexico from the United States -- to have to put up with Monday-morning quarterbacking from a top U.S. official over how the war is fought.
Calderón has gone "all in" against the cartels. In doing so, he hasn't just mortgaged his presidency; he has also gambled the future of his National Action Party, or PAN.
In a recent poll by the Mexican newspaper The Milenio, 59 percent of respondents said the drug traffickers are winning the war, compared with 21 percent who said the government is coming out on top.
Mexicans loathe this war. So much so that, according to polls, they're prepared to do something that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago -- give the presidency back to the corrupt and discredited Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which is seen as more likely to broker a peace with the cartels.
Why not just serve up the whole country to these jackals? With so much bloodshed -- at least 18,000 Mexicans have died -- and so much at stake, the drug war is not a topic that people take lightly or talk about glibly.
For that, we have Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, who the record shows has the gift of gaffe.
Claimed some Sept. 11 hijackers entered the United States by coming "across the Canadian border"? Check. Refused to apologize for a DHS report warning about right-wing extremists other than to say the report was "not well written"? Check. Claimed during a CNN interview that crossing the border without authorization is "not a crime per se"? Check. Said, after an attempt to blow up an airliner on Christmas Day was thwarted, no thanks to Homeland Security, that "the system worked"? Check.
More recently, during an interview on MSNBC, Napolitano responded to the slaying of three officials with the U.S. Consulate in Ciudad Juárez by challenging the effectiveness of the Mexican government's No. 1 weapon against the cartels: the military.
"President Calderón of Mexico has been deeply involved, even sending in the military into Juárez," Napolitano said. "That hasn't helped."
Mexican officials came unglued. They rattled off instances where Mexican soldiers and Marines took down major drug cartel leaders, and suggested that the government has no choice but to use the military when local police are corrupt or otherwise compromised.
That's the key point. Calderón is using the only tool he has, and he has a right not to be second-guessed by his strongest ally.
Not that the Mexican military is above criticism. It's catching plenty at the moment given that Mexican soldiers accidentally killed two students at a university in Monterrey -- Jorge Antonio Mercado Alonso, 23, and Javier Francisco Arredondo Verdugo, 24 -- after drug dealers ducked onto campus to avoid capture. Government officials compounded that error by erroneously claiming that the victims were drug gang members when they were actually mechanical engineering students.
The guilty parties must be punished. And Mexicans should keep asking whether using the military in what is a giant police operation doesn't create more problems than it solves. But those are questions for Mexicans to settle.
Napolitano should stay out of it, especially if she doesn't have anything more substantial to offer than off-the-cuff comments.
Of course, the military hasn't won the war or gotten rid of all the drug traffickers. But it has made their lives miserable by taking down the chieftains, confiscating cash and drugs, and closing off delivery routes.
The United States has pledged $1.4 billion in aid and equipment to help Calderón fight the cartels. And Secretary of State Hillary Clinton recently traveled to Mexico City with a delegation of senior administration officials to grant even more help -- perhaps as much as another $310 million. All this proves that the United States is making a serious commitment to Mexico's drug war. The Obama administration needs for all of its top officials to exhibit a similar degree of seriousness.
Secretary Napolitano, you're not helping.

Season's Greetings
We are getting our first real snow tonight...6"-12" they say. This will make fellow Vermonters happy. I will try to appreciate the beauty of having my world transformed overnight. It is always a magical event and made even better by a little sunshine! If your December is a dark gray gloomy one, here are some rays for you. 4pm Winter Garden.
This large pastel is finally in the frame after a particularly long gestation period in which it just hung around and hung around my studio...sort of like the snowdrops...wishing won't do it...one must just wait until the time is right. Not sure where it's next stop is, but I think I will enjoy it for awhile in it's finished state.

Page thirteen of the Castle Greyhawk graphic novel adaptation is now available over at our dedicated blog where you can also read some additional color content by our story's author Scott Casper. Also if you're new to the comic, you can still catch up on the entire story while it's early.
You can also view the latest episode HERE, courtesy of Maldin's Greyhawk. Enjoy!
Artist's commentary: Wow, it's been thirteen pages already? I think by about page 24-30 it might be time to compile an "issue".
I hate centipedes. A funny coincidence, as I was drawing this creepy encounter, I encountered a few of the little buggers myself! Luckily they weren't of the monstrous variety so I likely didn't earn any XPs.
So far this part of the story has been fun. In fact I'd like to run this encounter some day to see how it'd turn out. 2-3 giant centipedes versus two noob wizards with few spells. There is climb checks and strength checks being done here. I'm sure it'd be comical to try with dice.

2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel – 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel now is available in the marketplace after it introduced at NY Auto Show 2016. This is a great news for automotive enthusiasts around the world because now they have a chance to choose the engine variant that right for them. At that show, Jeep also introduced the new Cherokee Summit, which is the top notch line up among other trim levels. It proves that Jeep never stops to quit the SUV segment by bringing new model. For additional reports, there are abundant upgrades on the Summit on the interior and its features. We heard that the seats are now wrapped with Laguna leather and new transmission.
The 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel model also gets some improvements too. Jeep gives Quadra-Lift Air Suspension system as the standard material for each series. It will give you smooth touch even you drive the SUV in a rough street. The shock will absorb the bump and gives you better handling during the adventure. Jeep also installs new wheel-drive with Quadra-Drive II 4WD. We couldn't find any information about that but we sure that it's something. All of these new variants are available in late summer 2016 even they haven't announced the MSRP for all of them.
2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel Engine and Performance
Jeep knows how to please their fans. They put powerful engine in all new models that will be released in 2017. The gas model gets Pentastar engine that gives you 290 horses, but it has bad gas mileage rating with 17 mpg and 25 mpg. The Eco Diesel model offers promising experience with better gas mileage and more miles range to go. Thanks to 3.0-litre EcoDiesel with V-6 that squeezes only 240 horsepower yet give you better mpg with 22 mpg in the city and 30 mpg on the highway. You can fill the tank fully and reach 730 miles on a long trip.
2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel comes out with 8-speed automated engine so you can drive this car effortlessly. The mission is to bring back the trophy of Green SUV that had been achieved in late 2015. With the all-new Jeep Grand Cherokee series, there's huge chance that they will earn that award again next year.
Interior and Exterior
The interior of EcoDiesel model wrapped with Morocco Black with tangerine stitching. The second row has spacious leg room and head rest that will let the passengers achieve comfortable experience. The rear cargo has a lot of space where you can organize your loads on every trip. The cabin has excellent design with more features and wider LCD screen to control the entertainment and assistance features. Talk about the exterior, Jeep keeps the classic grille model with dope black and vertical lines. 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee EcoDiesel will get whether 18-inches or 20-inches with aluminum bespoke wheels. Overall, this SUV has masculine style and not too far from its adventure off-roads model. But that what makes people are loyal to the all new products from Jeep.

I never bake breads, but I thought today it would be fitting to do an Irish Soda Bread. I read this article online about the fact that America gets WAY more excited about holidays than their respective locations do. Cinco De Mayo in Mexico is nothing like the crazy, 'let's get drunk off of tequila and run around in sombreros.' And apparently, St. Patrick's real color was blue. True? I have no idea, but it sort of makes me laugh.
Anyways, I love the combination of orange and cranberry, so I decided to incorporate it into this amazing bread.
2 cups flour + extra for kneading
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1 stick butter (I use salted, but it traditional comes with unsalted)
1 cup buttermilk
1 egg
1/2 cup dried cranberries (chopped)
Zest from 1 orange
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. In a large bowl combine all dry ingredients. Cut butter into squares and then incorporate it in your mixture with your hands or a pastry blender. In a separate bowl, combine egg, buttermilk and orange zest. Stir into butter mixture and mix well with a wooden spoon.
Flour your surface, and lay out the dough. Sprinkle flour over the bread and knead, adding more and more flour as you go. Do this until it's easy, and not sticky anymore. Make into a round loaf and cut an X onto the top of it. Bake for 40-50 minutes, slice, add butter and enjoy!
