Lesson Plan
The Lightning Thief Extension Activities
Three exciting learning activities to complement author Rick Riordan's modern myth
- Grades: 6–8
About this book
1. Imagine you have just discovered that you are a half-blood. What cabin do you think you will end up in at Camp Half Blood? What are the possibilities? Write a creative piece describing your arrival and discovery of your true parentage.
This activity gives students a chance to think about their own personal strengths and how they are connected to the gods. Are they generous like Hermes? Wise like Athena? Do they resist restriction like the sea? Teachers may wish to fully explore each of the gods attributes before students begin this project. In addition, students may want to make a list of all their personal characteristics before deciding which god they are related to.
2. This book is the first in a series. Luke is still at large, Cronos is growing stronger, and Percy is about to step out into the world as the acknowledged son of Poseidon. What will happen next? Like the Oracle, make four predictions about the next book. What will happen in it? Share your predictions, the clues that support them, and create a group chart showing what you, as a group, think are the most likely upcoming events.
Children love imagining what will happen next. Doing so also encourages them to go back to the book for a closer reading and a hunt for clues. In addition, their interest in the upcoming book is encouraged.
3. World War II is revealed in the book to actually have been triggered by an epic battle between the gods. How can a modern event be explained by the gods? Pick a current event-an earthquake, a battle, or even a surprising celebrity love affair-and explain how the gods were really behind it. You can present your explanations as a television newscast!
Children apply their knowledge of mythology with this project. You may want to read some Greek and Roman myths before you start-the story of Troy, how fire came to man, Pandora's box, etc.

E-mail us for clarification.
Amendments and cancel to original reservations must be made directly to us (the hostel)at least 3 days before your intended arrival. Failure to do so will result in you being charge the full amount of your booking.
Accommodation Information

Bedsheets and linen are provided and all rooms have 24 hour hot showers.
We offer a home away from home. With our newly renovated property we offer our guests clean and comfortable accommodation set in a contemporary boutique Chinese Asian fusion style.
Location Information
Rucksack Hostel is located in the centre of Phuket Town, the origin of Phuket Thai-Chinese culture. Phuket town is rich with architectural gems from Classic Chino-Portugese homes, Wat's (Thai temples) and Chinese shrines etc. On top of the architectural and religious attractions of Phuket town you can get a real taste of Thai local life - take a slow walk around the central market and watch the world go by from many of the roadside coffee shops. As a predominantly Buddhist culture you will find Buddhism cymbals in most every-day lives. One of the most charming sights for a Farang (foreigner) is to wake early morning and watch the Monks clad in saffron color robes walk the streets bare foot looking for donations of breakfast.
But let us not forget Phuket's beautiful beaches! (Of which there are many). From the tourist hot spot of Patong Beach to the more remote and less trodden beaches of Cape Panwa. All are within easy reach as there is a bus stop literally right outside our door!
Need modern convenience? We are only 5 minutes away from the newly opened Central Festival shopping centre. This center boasts world class brands, eateries and a multi screen Cineplex.
Cancellation Policy
Customers can cancel their reservation free of charge up to 3 days before arrival. After this date, charges will be applied by the property up to the first nights cost of the reservation, unless otherwise stated in the property's conditions. Deposits paid are non refundable.

Kias aren't what they used to be. They're now stylish, well built, good to drive and pricier than you might imagine.
We've already been impressed by the spacious, if slightly dull-looking, new Cee'd Sportswagon with its 1.6-litre diesel engine. Yet the larger, more powerful of the two diesels starts from a sizeable £17,695. Sit down for this, but you can actually pay closer to £25,000 for the top-spec 4 Tech model.
Kia's heartland has been in models that were cheaper than equivalents from Ford, Renault, Vauxhall et al. Not any more – they're priced pretty much nose-on with rivals these days.
If you want the cheapest way into Cee'd Sportswagon ownership, you'll have to go for the 89bhp 1.4-litre diesel, sold only in the lowest 1 trim.
But while it has plastic wheel trims, you still get kit like air-con, Bluetooth and an iPod connection. And the quality inside is really good, as is the style – the dash is great to look at and great to use.
The 528-litre boot (1,642 litres with the seats down) is similarly useful and slightly bigger than most other small estate cars'. The load bay is nice and square, the opening wide and the floor level with the bumper. But to extend the boot, you have to flip up the seatbases then fold the backrests.
Can that 1.4 diesel cope with a full load? Put it this way, you won't get anywhere in a hurry, whether the car's loaded up or not. So it's a good job the dynamics err more on the side of comfort than fun.

Injustice footage shows Superman beating up the Flash
Check out fifteen minutes of Injustice: Gods Among Us, the DC-licensed fighter from the team behind Mortal Kombat.
Netherrealm boss Ed Boon presented the game to audiences at EVO; if you missed the live stream, check out a replay below, with thanks to IGN. As well as a good look at Superman and the Flash, you can see how Netherrealm have strung together multiple arenas, how arenas can be expanded, and a metre wager system.
Injustice: Gods Among Us is expected in 2013 on PlayStation 3, Wii U and Xbox 360, and is the first non-Mortal Kombat game from Netherrealm.
Thanks, GwynbleiddiuM!

Comment do not appear on my Posts even though I have "Allow Comments" checked in the Dashboard. Comments DO appear on my Pages (see the About page). I cannot figure out what is different between the code or settings for the Page and Post comments.
I did alter the theme so I may have inadvertently deleted something in the HTML/PHP files but I cannot see what it is. I have tried applying other themes but the behavior is the same no matter what.
Here is the website: http://rhiannonpaine.com
I have WP v. 2.8.6 installed.
There are two sub-blogs on the site (Crooks and Mini) that have the same problem... I copied the files from the main (News) blog which would also support the assumption that something is wrong with the HTML/PHP. Can anyone who is more PHP savvy see what the problem is?

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
X-Men can't live on blue-and-white jumpsuits alone. Artist Tom Kennedy has illustrated a dozen of the X-Men's women members in his unofficial "Street Style" print, featuring fashionable civilian looks for Jean Grey, Storm, Jubilee, Kitty Pryde, Polaris, Mystique, Rogue, Dazzler, Psylocke, Emma Frost, X-23 and Magik.
Earlier today, the U.S. House of Representatives approved considerably stricter screening procedures for refugees from Syria and Iraq seeking resettlement in the United States, despite a veto threat from the White House. It's a controversial and highly criticized move that has further sparked the current debate on whether or not the United States should allow Syrian refugees to enter the country, but it looks like Superman has already made his stance clear — 55 years ago.
If there's one sure thing about Star Wars imagery, it's that it very much holds up to varying interpretations — be it Shakespearean verses, clever children's books or shower heads.
In that tradition, artist Mike "Nemo" Mendez has taken the instantly recognizable Darth Vader helmet and translated it into a Māori-style Tiki mask, as shown off on his Facebook page. It's not the first pop culture icon that Mendez has given the Tiki treatment — he's also constructed a Māori-style Iron Man mask.
Mendez's work can be found on his website (though it hasn't been updated since 2010) and Facebook page. More Māori-style Darth Vader images follow after the jump.
The history of live-action adaptations of DC Comics characters goes back nearly as long as the comic books themselves, dating back to the 1943 "Batman" serial, debuting just four years after the Caped Crusader's first comic book appearance. Of course, now there's more live-action DC than ever, both on the big screen ("Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" hits theaters next spring) and on TV ("Arrow," "The Flash," "Gotham" and more on the way).
Thus the inspiration for an artist known by the Reddit username AshsEvilHand, who earlier this week posted an homage to DC Comics' multiverse-melding "Crisis on Infinite Earths" storyline. Much like how that 1985-1986 miniseries by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez brought together the many Earths of the DC Universe at the time, this image imagines that the decades of DC Comics adaptations, ranging from the George Reeves Superman to the Tim Burton Batman to CBS' upcoming "Supergirl" could somehow be tied together in the same greater fictional landscape.
Egyptian hieroglyphics can accurately be considered an early form of the type of sequential art storytelling seen in comic strips and comic books, and artist Josh Ln has drawn a very straight line between the two in his "Hero-Glyphics" series. Ln has taken some of the biggest pop cultural icons — including Spider-Man, Darth Vader and Wolverine — and interpreted them in the style of hieroglyphics; retaining the recognizable qualities of the characters but placing them in a considerably different context.
Walter Simonson has worked on a number of famous characters along with his own creations in his legendary comic book career, but he's likely still best remembered for his legendary time on "Thor" at Marvel Comics. That's something that's clearly not lost on his next-door neighbor, who according to Twitter, surprised Simonson with a new addition to the writer/artist's mailbox: Mjolnir.
Look, life can be a pretty bleak prospect sometimes and there are plenty of reminders on a daily basis of just that.
But — a man named Russell Munro made an Optimus Prime cake for his son's 6th birthday that actually transforms from a car to a robot. By itself. Speaking authentic Peter Cullen dialogue. Based on the old-school, Generation 1 Optimus, rather than the current film franchise version that today's kids presumably know a lot better. And oh yeah: It was a real, likely delicious cake. So maybe hope isn't lost.
"Arrow" star Stephen Amell makes the leap — and based on the moves he showed last week, "leap" is exactly the right word — from actor and pro wrestling fan to WWE Superstar for one night this Sunday at "WWE SummerSlam," teaming up with Neville against Stardust (who he's sparred with over social media for weeks) and Wade Barrett.
Amell is far from the first celebrity to participate in a pro wrestling match — Jay Leno, of all people, did so back in 1998 — but the overlap between wrestling fans, genre TV fans and comic book fans have generated keen interest in the affair (along with the fact that the parkour-training Amell probably will be able to do some pretty impressive things inside the ring). With that type of interest, of course, comes a ton of fan art.
Pop-up books aren't just for kids anymore — and if that wasn't apparent already, a new pop-up book based on "The Walking Dead" looks to make that abundantly clear. "The Walking Dead: The Pop-Up Book," based on the massively popular AMC TV series based on the Image Comics series created by Robert Kirkman, is set to feature five two-page spreads, described as "uniquely terrifying" and depicting "blood-drenched action," words never thought to describe the likes of "Richard Scarry's Biggest Pop-Up Book Ever."
By Becca Zerkin & David Hawcock (paper engineers), Sally Elizabeth Jackson (illustrator) and Stephani Danelle Perry (words), "The Walking Dead: The Pop-Up Books" will focus on the show's fearsome walkers — lots of pop-up gore potential there — and depict locations like Hershel's farm and Terminus.
Published by Insight Editions — the same folks behind last year's "Game of Thrones: A Pop-up Guide to Westeros" — "The Walking Dead: The Pop-Up Book" is scheduled for release on Nov. 10.
The legal dispute between Salt Lake Comic Con and Comic-Con International appears to remain unresolved — despite what one side has claimed.
On Thursday, Salt Lake Comic Con issued a press release stating that the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted Dan Farr Productions, the company behind SLCC, the trademark for "Salt Lake Comic Con." The press release further states SLCC co-founder Bryan Brandenburg's belief that the trademark will "virtually eliminate this ongoing legal battle." However, Comic-Con International fired back to state the issue isn't finished.
In a subsequent press release from Comic-Con International, Dan Farr Productions' trademark is clarified as a "Supplemental Trademark Registration," which is distinguished from a Principal Register in that it "does not convey the presumptions of validity, ownership and exclusive rights to use the mark." "As there is no opposition process for a Supplemental Registration we of course were not able oppose it, however we are engaging this matter as part of the normal course of protecting our already granted and incontestable trademarks," Comic-Con International spokesperson David Glanzer said in the statement.
Entertainment Earth has expanded its line of DC Comics-themed chair capes — yep, capes for your chairs — with two new offerings: Wonder Woman and Batgirl. This adds two of DC's most famous females superheroes to offerings that already included the previously released Batman and Superman (Silver Age) chair capes, and the Comic-Con International-exclusive Batman (blue cape) and Bizarro chair capes.
Hot Toys is known for its high-end, 1:6 scale figures of characters from Marvel, DC Comics and other genre properties like Star Wars and Terminator — detailed and, at frequently a couple hundred books a pop, spendy.
The Hong Kong-based collectible company is set to take its Star Wars output to a new level this weekend at Ani-Com and Games Hong Kong with a 1:6 scale Millennium Falcon on display (for exhibit, not for sale) at the show. If you're wondering what one-sixth of the Millennium Falcon equals, according to Hot Toys on Facebook it's 18 feet long by 12 feet wide, making it larger than some studio apartments and capable of taking out a 1:6 scale Death Star.
If you happen to be in Hong Kong this weekend and in the mood to gawk at giant Star Wars replicas — Hot Toys promises more unique Star Wars items on display — ACGHK, the territory's largest pop culture event, runs through July 24-July 28, and the Falcon can be seen at Hot Toys' booth (E15-16).
One of showbiz's greatest and oddest current traditions is that whenever Paul Rudd appears on a Conan O'Brien-hosted talk show — dating back to the "Late Night" days on NBC — when throwing to a clip of whatever movie he's ostensibly there to promote, he actually plays a scene (the same scene, every time) from 1988's "Mac and Me," an otherwise forgotten "E.T." ripoff that featured heavy McDonald's product placement.
But surely that streak would have to end with Rudd promoting "Ant-Man," a big-budget superhero film that's part of Disney's massive Marvel Studios franchise, on last night's "Conan," right? Well, yes. And no. As seen in the clip, Rudd was able to keep tradition alive while also (kind of) giving "Ant-Man" its proper exposure.
A Stan Lee cameo has become a secondary source of intrigue in Marvel Comics-based films — when will he show up, what will he be doing and how will fit in with everything else going on? He's able to dwell in the worlds of the in-house Marvel Studios movies, Sony's Spider-Man films and 20th Century Fox's Fantastic Four and X-Men franchises. There have even been fan theories about how he can show up in so many different places.
The UK-based MorphCostumes, who offer a wide variety of skintight superhero bodysuits, have put together an infographic documenting Stan Lee's cameos in Marvel films, dating back to 1989's made-for-TV "The Trial of Incredible Hulk" and finishing with "Avengers: Age of Ultron," released this past May. This follows an earlier infographic from MorphCostumes, looking at the "Murderers of Marvel."
Proving once again that we live in a fascinating world full of nearly infinite possibilities, here is a photograph of Michael Douglas, the Oscar-winning star of the 1987 classic "Wall Street," fist-bumping Marvel superhero Ant-Man inside the New York Stock Exchange building earlier today.
Of course, it was promotion for Marvel Studios' "Ant-Man," opening this Friday, with Douglas ringing the NYSE Closing Bell. In the film, Michael Douglas plays long-running Marvel character Hank Pym, the original Ant-Man of comic book lore. Paul Rudd stars as Scott Lang, Marvel Comics' subsequent Ant-Man — though unfortunately, it likely wasn't Rudd inside the costume at the NYSE; perhaps the one thing that could make that photo even more improbable. Fingers crossed that in 2016, we'll get Doctor Strange high-fiving Tilda Swinton inside the United Nations Headquarters.

Woman dies after crashing into SUV; car caught fireJanuary 29,2013
JAMAICA — Authorities say a car skidded across a snow-covered southern Vermont road and crashed into a large SUV before catching on fire, killing a woman.
State police say the collision happened Monday afternoon in the town of Jamaica.
A preliminary investigation shows that a car was traveling southbound on Route 30 when the female driver lost control and the vehicle skidded across the road. It crashed into a northbound SUV driven by 48-year-old Gavin Scotti, of Greenwich, Conn.
Authorities say the car caught on fire shortly after the crash, and the driver was pronounced dead at the scene. Her name is being withheld until family can be notified.
Scotti and his 14-year-old passenger were taken to a hospital to be treated for minor injuries.

Another very sad demolition theatre story! The fact that it is a demolished Eberson-atmospheric theatre is a very hard pill to swallow!
This being an Eberson theatre I had to include it on my favorites list! Can anyone give me background information on the 2 Eberson names….Drew and John? Were they related?
I have Cinema Treasures thanks to Santa! I suggest that if you are thinking about purchasing this one to do so as you won't be disappointed in the least! In fact, I'm sharing it with many of my friends to get them interested in becoming movie buffs and finding cinematreasures.org!
So sad that a theatre with South Pacific decor would be demolished. Too bad that someone or some group couldn't have saved this theatre and it's soul as all theatres have a soul! Where on the daytondailynews site is the article? Thanks.
A great overnight stay in Fredonia would be the White Inn located on Main Street and is within walking distance to the Fredonia Opera House. And less than 20 miles to the west on Route 20 is my former hometown art deco theatre, the Grand which "was" located on the corner of Main and N. Portage. There is a small park there now with a statue of Abe Lincoln and Grace Bedell who wrote Lincoln a letter asking him to grow a beard! Nearby is the train station where Lincoln stopped enroute to Washington as he wanted to meet Ms. Grace Bedell, in person! He did!
Larry: I, for one, so much appreciate you taking the time to include your Fox thoughts on this cinema site. My husband and I truly enjoyed meeting you and Mighty Mo! I recently attended a MTOS dinner/meeting. Our longtime Atlanta friends sent me the Fox 2 hour video during the holidays so we showed that wonderful tape to the Metrolina Theatre Organ Society group and they fell in love with the Fox all over again. In fact, one of the members, Charlie Clayton who is originally from Atlanta and has known Joe Patten and the organist prior to you, Mr. VanCamp for many years so he truly enjoyed the video! So whenever we find ourselves back in Atlanta we'll come by to share a glass of wine. BTW, we would love to meet the "phantom", too! God Bless you and God Bless the Fabulous Fox! Happy New Year!
sam_e: Thanks for the updated NFTOS to RTOPS! Can't wait to enter the Riv, look and listen! Maybe we could meet you there so will keep in touch come springtime!
Charles: Made email correction….thanks again for the Riv info!
Very interesting to note that on Valentine's Day 1989 the Riv became the loving property of the Niagara Frontier Theatre Organ Society! What better group to maintain the theatre and it's organ than a dedicated organ society! Congratulations!
Charles: Tried to send email, but is undeliverable!?!
If anyone clicks on the Mapquest location for the Grand it was not north of I-90, but south of the NYS Thurway at the corner of N. Portage and Main Street.
Must be something to see an 'atmospheric' church in Milwaukee WS! This one interests me because of the former Grand name as my hometown theatre was called the Grand, also.
Have a safe trip and when you return please let us know what you saw on your CA theater research trip!
KenRoe: There are many wonderful theatres in the USA, but then again perhaps you only post the ones you have actually visited? Many of mine are those I have never seen, in person, and the rest I have visited (most recently the Fabulous Fox/Atlanta) or hope to in the coming years.
sam_e: Funny post! When I read about the Avalon I, too, hear those lyrics and that song in my head! I recall it being "26 miles" also, but then again it seems that lyricists sometimes take special license to rhyme words or in this case….numbers to make them flow better in a song.
I just added this one to my favorites as it's another grand art deco lady!
My husband and I lived in Wichita Falls TX during his USAF years and so we recall going to see movies at the Wichita Theater.
KenRoe: Interesting to read that this theatre is on Catalina Island! Found this theatre while reviewing your favorites and this one is the only one you list in the USA.
The car cruises that are held here would be worth attending if you live close to the area and have a neat classic or street rod to drive to this drive-in!
Another great theatre that I was recently told about at an organ society dinner party. These 'atmospheric' theatres that have been saved and renovated are a jewel to their communities and are such cinema treasures!
Found this theatre though a newly introduced friend and couldn't believe how utterly beautiful this Eberson 'atmospheric' theatre is. I lived in FL for over 30 years and never visited this theatre in Miami as I didn't know of its existence and didn't have the theatre 'bug' then. Sure wish the Paramount Theatre in Palm Beach FL still existed though. My husband knows the man who bought the Paramount sign many years ago and now wonder if he still has it today??
I would also suggest that you contact someone in your area for help…perhaps an architect who is familiar with building models, to scale. Good luck, Angelgirl.

Great Value Four Cheese Pizza is great if you like institutional tasting pizza. The pizza had cardboard for crust, extra sweet sauce, and mystery tasting salt flavored cheese, which my family did not like. The price is good, but is not an important factor if the product ends up in the garbage can.
This is a "Great Value' product, because it's every bit as good as the "name brand" but a much better price.
This is the best cheese pizza I've ever had. As good as any of the more expensive brands I've tried.

The revelation will come as an embarrassment to the Japanese government, which has called on the international community to unite and impose severe sanctions on Pyongyang in retaliation for the launch.
Japan, South Korea and the United States believe the launch was a cover for a rocket that can be used to deliver a nuclear warhead.
"We have seen several reports that North Korea has used technology that has come directly from Japan, or that it has reverse-engineered other key components, so it would not be any surprise to find parts in the missile that originated in Japan," said Professor Hiroyasu Akutsu, of the National Institute of Defence Studies.
"There are many ways in which Pyongyang can gain access to this technology as it has private companies operating here in Japan, as well as in Taiwan and South Korea, that are constantly looking to acquire advanced engineering know-how," he said
Japanese companies also have a history of providing sensitive technology - either wittingly or unwittingly - to anyone willing to pay for it.
In 2002, Japan stepped up legal measures to prevent the export of technology that could aid proliferation of nuclear weapons. But since 2003, at least four companies have been investigated on suspicion of selling restricted technology overseas or to front companies for foreign organisations.
Two other companies were the subject of police investigations in 2007 after parts they had manufactured were found by inspectors from the International Atomic Energy Agency at North Korea's Yongbyon nuclear facility in 2006.
In June 2007, three employees and the president of Mitutoyo were given suspended prison sentences and the company was fined Y45 million (£300,000) for skirting export controls on equipment that could be used to manufacture centrifuges to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons.
North Korea has already tested a nuclear device and is now attempting to perfect the missile that will deliver it to a target, Japan fears.
"These missiles will use standard electronics components that are available over the counter in Japan, although other parts - such as GPS guidance chips - are more precise and more difficult to acquire," said the US analyst.

Kiril Karaatanasov: This battery life thing is complete fake. I took 800 shots today on my A6300 with single battery and had 41% remaining charge. I would bet I would be able to do similar with Fuji......I all depends how you use the camera. Mirrorless with full electronic shutter just use much less energy than DSLR.....I could have easily gone well beyond 1000 shots
The CIPA battery life measurement is with use of the built-in flash on half the shots. I would love to see a second measurement with no use the in-camera flash, since that is how I work almost all the time.
marcio_napoli: Let's face it people, we play with small format because the big guns cost 40.000 bucks.
If one of those were only 6k or 7k (possible, if it were mass produced like 35mm cameras are), then ha!!! Canon / Nikon would be crushed, I mean, among enthusiasts too.
Besides action and fast AF, DMF reigns supreme on IQ.
Someone said weight? Hmm... then grow some biceps.
And this camera is really not that heavier than a FF DSLR. If you carry your D810 around, you can easily carry a Hasselblad.
Price is not the only advantage of smaller formats: they often win also on lower size and weight, better hand-holdabillty, wider lens selection, more sophisticated and flexible AF and metering, etc.
Remember that in the film era there were medium format cameras for about $2000 and less, but even then many professionals and enthusiastic amateurs chose 35mm film cameras instead – even many professionals who could have afforded an MF kit.
Some people have a good use for a two-ton truck, but I have no interest in one, even though I could afford it; a car is _better_ for my usage.
greypixelz: haven't Panasonic gotten the message from Kai and Lok that micro4/3rds is dead? and don't they know that Pentax is the king of WR and that it had just out-sensor'ed them?
I mean, really, Panasonic! :P
@Dr_Jon and @JimW-203: yes, all I can come up with is the "DMC-L" cameras, which were Four Thirds DSLRs in the same 4/3" format as MFT. I guess Mike99999 was just confused.
iudex: Given the current standard zooms for M4/3 this one is definitely the most interesting. The old 14-42 kit lenses are not wide enough and optically mediocre (well, a kit lens). The 12-32mm is wide, however too short. The 12-50mm is both sufficiently wide and long, but too slow. This one is wider than the kit zoom and longer than other two, so definitely the most interesting cheap zoom (well, cheap in comparison to Pro 12-40mm lens). So basically a counterpart to popular DLSR zooms like 15-85/16-85mm from N/C/P.
However I cannot get rid of a feeling that Pana could have used the advantage of smaller sensor and make a bit faster lens, e.g. a constant f4. This would fit nicely between f2,8 zooms (12-35, 12-40) and slow variable aperture kit lenses.
I would also be interested in a MFT successor to the wonderful Olympus Zuiko 12-60/2.8-60, which hopefully could be distinctly lighter than that lens, especially since I now have to use it with a mount adaptor. And it would AF better on CDAF-only bodies!
But a mid-speed lighter option like this is nice too.
P. S. Why the desire for constant f/4 zooms when a f/2.8-4 can be about the same size, weight and price? It is the maximum effective aperture size, so at the long end, that mostly dictates bulk etc.
greypixelz: haven't Panasonic gotten the message from Kai and Lok that micro4/3rds is dead? and don't they know that Pentax is the king of WR and that it had just out-sensor'ed them?
I mean, really, Panasonic! :P
@Mike99999 Have I missed the news about Panasonic still cameras in two other larger formats, or is "L mount" an in-joke that I am missing?
Arizona Sunset: Question - is the other travel zoom from Panasonic so bad that they needed a duplicate?
Compared to the 14-140, this is distinctly wider (12mm vs 14mm), less expensive, and with 5x zoom range vs 10x, has a good chance of being optically better. (But I await the reviews.)
As to being "more interesting at f/2.8", it would also heaver and more expensive too. There is nothing wrong with some people sometimes opting for a kit with more speed and the option of less DOF in exchange for more weight and more cost, but some of us have chosen a smaller ILC format like MFT exactly for offering a different trade-off, in the direction of a smaller and lighter kit.
endofoto: Sony has to make difference in sensors to force us to buy new cameras. Graphene sensors can increase camera sales, bec silicon sensors cant get any better. Graphene sensors are 1000 times more light sensitive and 10 times cheaper than silicon sensors.
No: the 1000 times improvement in sensitivity was compared to previous _graphene_ sensor experiments – the number was mis-represented in the press release from the marketing division at the university where the research was done.
Silicon sensors are already detecting over half of the photons that reach them, so there is no possibility of getting more than 2 times more sensitive.
With the rear dial looking dedicated to exposure compensation, how does manual exposure setting mode work? Does that dial become aperture, or shutter speed, despite its labelling?
Anyway I a happy to see Olympus offer a small, low profile body (so-called "rangefinder style") with an eye-level viewfinder. I want to down-size from my "bump-top" EM-5 some day.
Elliot H: where's the 4x5 sensor &
while you're at it the 8X10
Price is the main barrier to larger sensor sizes; sensors up to about 5"x4" (actually 200mm or even 300mm diagonal) are already available, as custom order "wafer-scale" sensors from companies like Teledyne-Dalsa. See the two at bottom-right on this page:
P S. Pixels are huge, though.
Lee W: Can the human eye actually resolve 8k video or are we at saturation limit with 4k?
It depends on the ratio of picture width to viewing distance, or "viewing angle" For typical eyes, 4K is good until your distance the screen is about the width of the screen; already quite close! And that is for stationary images that you can examine carefully; for most moving images, motion blurring and such mean that less resolution is needed. So seeing the full 8K detail require absurdly large viewing angle, like a distance from the screen about half the screen's width or less.
But maybe the point is that sometimes 4K is not quite enough and even if 5K or 6K would be enough, it is technically easiest to jump by a factor of two. Then compressing can still look better than a 4K, 5K or 6K signal at the same data rate, since the compression can be selectively done more where it has least visible effect, while keeping more detail in parts of the image than benefit from it most.
Note that some people already have >4K TVs, in the form of 5K computer monitors where they watch movies.
JosephScha: Let's see, 4K video (38## by 25##) is said to give an 8MP extracted still. This imples that 8K video (nearly 8### by 5###) should yield a 32MP extracted still. Considering that Panasonic has just one camera with a 20MP sensor, and that 4K video requires some pretty darn fast memory cards ... on the one hand I credit Panasonic for investing in something for several years in the future. On the other hand, I wonder if they realize it will be several years in the future before they can make this work?
Personally, I hope they can squish out a BSI sensor somewhere on their development path, it would be worth it if it can gain a stop of light gathering capability, I'll bet it can.
@mosc Firstly, Panasonic make cameras and sensors in other formats, so this goal of 8K video camera need not be based on 4/3" format. For a professional 8K video camera, I would expect Panasonic to make the sensor in a shape like the 7680×4320 of the "8K UHD" standard, which is 16:9. See
By the way, since names like 4/3" and 1" primarily refer to a diagonal size, not a specific shape, there are also video oriented sensors in both those formats that are in wider, lower shapes like 3:2 or 16:9. It is only in the specific application of the Four Thirds and Micro Four Thirds camera systems that the shape is also specified.
RonHendriks: Hasselblad is the next to be absorbed.
Hasselblad already went through a similar merger with Danish digital back maker Imacon. In fact, after that merger, the new company was called "Hasselblad", but its top management came from Imacon, and for a while its offices were in the former Imacon head office in Denmark. So basically the two dominant Danish maker of digital backs have taken over the two surviving makers of medium format cameras. (Excluding Leica, which more recently super-sized from 35mm format to a "almost medium format" 45x30mm system.)
This article needs a new headline, as many readers are mislead by the original one: the news is not specifically about the NX1.
Samsung is withdrawing _all_ its still and video cameras (except phones!) from several markets: so far, the UK and Germany, and I believe also the Netherlands.
bluevellet: Why do they keep updating their APSC SLT cameras but FF SLT is left out to dry?
Maybe a new APSC SLT is needed to provide IS for existing A-mount lenses - Sony moved IS out of thr boy into the lenses with its APSC mirrorless system. And IIRC, has moved it back to the body with its 35mm format mirrorless system, so those bodies can stabilize adaptor-mounted A-mount lenses.
fmian: Just as I've been saying for a while.
Digital sales are slumping, while analog sales are pumping.
fmian wrote:
"BJL wrote: 'Meanwhile sales of mobile phones other than smart phones declined'
and then he wrote: 'Mobile phone sales are not down'
So which is it?"
It's both, as is clear if you look at the numbers in the source that you cite:
- smart phone sales are well up
- "dumb phone" sales are down, but by less
- total mobile phone sales = "smart plus dumb" are up.
And by the way,
sales of "phones with digital cameras that get used a lot" are up.
fmian: Just as I've been saying for a while.
Digital sales are slumping, while analog sales are pumping.
Mobile phone sales are not down: they at worst were only slightly up in in that one quarter, with a shift in the mix towards more smart phones. Last I saw, mirrorless sales were about level or up slightly.
- Digital camera-phones (smart phone) sales well up: 13-20% and in numbers that overwhelm everything else in this list.
- Total mobile phone unit sales up a bit, revenues up more due to the mix shifting towards smart phones.
- Mirrorless ILC sales about flat.
- P&S sales going down for years now (as camera-phones largely replace them)
- DSLR sales down after a "bubble" of film to digital transitions, and not because of a move back to "analog" SLRs!
The bottom line is that your real and imagined downs are mainly shifts in the digital product mix towards different kinds of digital tool, with total sales and usage of digital photographic equipment going up.
P. S. Are analog photography sales up? A one-time uptick in one niche product line (Instax) does not quite show that.
tkbslc: Shrinking sales? Seems like a trend with all brands.
Not all brands; just the brands whose products fail to also handle phone calls, text messaging, music playing, email, web browsing, video games, internet connectivity, and so on. There is no point ignoring that fact that for the vast majority of camera users who are only interested in snapshots and little video clips, "smart phones" are now the dominant tool.
fmian: Just as I've been saying for a while.
Digital sales are slumping, while analog sales are pumping.
"Are digital sales not decreasing?"
No, sales of digital photographic equipment are not decreasing! They are just shifting to different product categories. (The same for digital music players; see below.)
And this is shown by data in the source that you cited. To repeat: smart phones ("digital camera-phone-music players") are now the dominant digital photographic tool (in fact the dominant digital tool, period – also for music playing, etc.) and even in that supposedly bad quarter, sales were UP by 13%, for an extra 40 million in a single quarter, which completely overwhelms the decrease in sales of other types of digital camera, which decrease is mostly people buying less of the low end P&S digital cameras.
P. S. Over the last six month or reported sales, the year-on-year in increase in sales of "digital camera-phone-music players" is even more impressive, at 21%, and 124 million more units sold.
fmian: Just as I've been saying for a while.
Digital sales are slumping, while analog sales are pumping.
Apart from the folly of inferring a trend from a single quarter's sales, the source you link shows about 13% *increase* in smart phone sales, from about 290,384,400 in 2Q2014 to 329,676,400 in 2Q2105. Meanwhile sales of mobile phones other than smart phones declined, keeping total mobile phone sales almost flat. So there is a continuing shift amongst phone users towards smart phones, which tend to be the phones most likely to be regularly used as a camera.
That is an increase of about 40 million sales in single quarter: how do you think growth in Instax and other film camera sales for 2Q2015 compare?
fmian: Just as I've been saying for a while.
Digital sales are slumping, while analog sales are pumping.
You do know that these sale losses are due to less people buying P&S digital cameras because for more and more, their phone is all the P&S camera they need? Since phone cameras are digital, your digital vs analog claim is wide of the mark.

Actually, the Metropolitan Police expressed satisfaction at the verdict and said that it gave justice to the Morley family. David Morley's own family expressed satisfaction at the verdict.One single policeman has expressed 'disappointment'.As far as I can see, Tarique Ghaffur's position boils down to the fact that David Morley was part of a minority group – and that simply because of that, the laws of the land should be disregarded and harsher criteria should be applied .. even though there is nothing to suggest that David's minority status was a motivation in the crime that was committed. How can that be fair?Manslaughter was always the best you could reasonably have hoped for (under English law you can only find someoe guilty of murder if you believe there was the intention to kill – with "malice aforethought" – or the intention to cause grievous bodily harm. The jury is not allowed to infer the necessary intention, unless they feel sure that death or serious bodily harm was a virtual certainty – a virtual impossibility when neither of those were the outcome with the gang's seven other victims on the night)Does the the guilty verdict not indicate that the jury believed that the gang intended to cause GBH (and should therefore have been found guilty of murder)? The simple answer is no, not neccessairily so. To be found guilty of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm (GBH), you don't have to be part of a conspiracy that had the intenet to cause GBH – simply part of a conspirtorial act that resulted in it. A group of friends planning a trick on someone, which then goes tragically wrong, could quite easily result in a charge of conspiracy to cause grievous bodily harm.Is there anything unusual or legally wrong in this verdict? No. Anyone who isn't convinced about that only needs to look at today's Law Comission report on the murder laws.
It is sad that people can be so cruel and unkind just because somebody is different and to sit there and video tape the incident is just wrong and i hope she goes to jail for a very long time.

The Dunedin City Council has endorsed a new development
contributions regime that will result in developers
contributing more to council coffers.
Councillors at yesterday's 2014-15 annual plan deliberations
voted in favour of the revised fees, subject to final
approval with the rest of the coming year's budget.
The revised policy, which has been under review since 2009,
would have a new proposed charge of up to $5300 per section.
That would be significantly higher than the existing $250
charge for most areas of Dunedin, but significantly lower
than the national average per-section charge of $14,000.
In parts of Mosgiel, where much of the city's development has
occurred and contributions have been at a higher level since
2008, the existing charge of about $10,300 per section would
increase by about $650.
Council chief executive Dr Sue Bidrose said the revised
policy was expected to contribute between about $6.3 million
and $19.2 million to the council over 10 years.
That compared with about $4.2 million and $9.3 million under
the present policy.
The policy was approved yesterday with only minor changes in
response to submissions, and praised by Cr David Benson-Pope
as a ''positive policy''.
Cr Jinty MacTavish also welcomed the move, saying it had been
''a very long time coming'', while Cr Lee Vandervis said he
was disappointed with the results after years of delays, but
would accept it ''grudgingly''.

Governor Jay Inslee has appointed Central Washington University senior Amy McCoy to the student-trustee position on the university's Board of Trustees (BOT) for the 2013-14 academic year.
"I'm deeply honored to be given this opportunity to serve the Central Washington University community," said McCoy. "It's my desire to be an instrumental asset to both the student body as well as the Board of Trustees."
McCoy, originally from Santa Clarita, California, is majoring in geography at CWU and considering seeking a master's degree in Resource Management. She has three children: Patrick, Madelyn, and Mark.
"My children and I will be staying here in Ellensburg and making this community our home," she noted.
Prior to coming to CWU, McCoy was the 2011-12 Tacoma Community College student body president and, the previous year, served as its vice president of Legislation and Records. From 1993 to '98 McCoy was a combat medic, worked as an orderly room nurse, and was assistant to the commander during her time in the US Army and with the National Guard.
"Our past student trustees have reaffirmed the board's belief in the role of students in the governance of the university," said Sid Morrison, chair of the CWU BOT. "We have been going through some challenging days for higher education here in Washington. The board will look to Amy for help as we develop the answers that work for the entire university."
McCoy was appointed as the 16th student selected to serve on CWU's governing body. She replaced Lindsey Sire, whose 2012-13 term expired on June 30.
The Washington State legislature created a student seat on the governing bodies of the six state public higher education institutions in 1997. Each student trustee serves a one-year term, and is a full-voting board members on all issues, with the exception of personnel matters.
McCoy's term began on July 29 and will conclude June 30, 2014.

WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's chief of staff says
the administration is looking at the nation's oil reserves as it
considers options for dealing with the spike in gas prices.
The price of a barrel of oil has passed $100. In the U.S.,
gasoline is averaging $3.50 a gallon.
Those increases come amid unrest in the oil-producing Middle
East, particularly as rebellion rages in Libya.
White House chief of staff William Daley tells NBC's "Meet the
Press" that all options are being considered for a short-term
response to rising oil prices.
At times the government has tapped the Strategic Petroleum
Reserve emergency supply to stabilize prices. The reserve contains
727 million barrels of oil.
Daley says officials are concerned about the impact of oil
prices on the fragile economic recovery.

16 reviews | 3.8 out of 5
We purchased this crib and changer combo since it seemed like such a great value, and we love the Graco Charleston crib and seperate changing table that we bought a couple years ago. Unfortunately, I was disappointed in the design of this product.
First of all, it was a lot more difficult to put together than the other Graco crib we have, and the instructions were a bit confusing. But when I finally got everything put together, it looks great and is very sturdy. There's just one thing...the surface of the changing table is way smaller than pretty much any other changing table out there. The dimensions of the changing table pad are 15 1/2"W x 27"L, where most standard changing table pads are 16"W x 32"L. This made it very difficult to find a pad/pad cover. The pad that comes with it is also flat and very thin-not super comfortable like the thick, contoured pad that I was able to put on my other Graco changing table.
I should have verified the dimentions before purchasing, but I assumed that it would be a 'standard' size and like my other Graco products. I also understand that the changing table is smaller so that it isn't wider than the crib, but if Graco is going to make a product that doesn't fit 'standard' dimensions, then they need to make coordinating pads and pad covers to fit it. I have looked all over for a smaller pad that is more comfortable or even just a cover for this smaller, thinner pad, but haven't found anything. So I am going to have to pick out some fabric and make a cover myself for the pad that came with it.
I have to disagree with a lot of these reviews. My husband and I just got this yesterday and put together in about two hours. It was easy to assemble and looks great! The value is incredible and doesn't look cheap at all. It is sturdy and well put together. Completely happy and would recommend to anyone.
I think that this baby bed is adorable! if you notice, a lot of changing tables alone are 100 dollars or a little less. I decided to get this baby bed because it did have the combo. I put it up, and it looks great in my baby girl's room. It also brings so much brightness in the room because of the pure white color! I definitely had to write a review after reading so many negative comments about this bed, when really I think it's great!
Great style for a reasonable price!
on the crib where the screw holes are there are not any white covers that came with the box so you see all these holes in the crib. where the changing table connects there is no place inside to tie a bumper. changer looks abit cheap.
I wish Graco would post online the original assembly instructions that came with the product. We just got custody of our grand daughter along with this crib. It was assembled with the changing table attached. They took it apart before we got it so not only do I need to put it back together but would like to do so as a youth bed with the shelves separate. I have no idea how to do this and of course they lost the instructions.
I absolutely love this purchase! The bed is a great size and gives my child time to grow and I don't have to worry about buying new beds as he gets bigger. The changing table with it made things so much easier! I would recommend this bed to anyone who is looking for the perfect baby bed for their newborn!
There were screws missing from the crib to attach the "Fixed" side to the bottom . We did not realize that the side was "FIXED" that makes it harder on the mother to take care of the baby and my daughter is having twins! We had already put one crib together before we realized it! Another thing was that the directions that come with these cribs are terrible! It was a PAIN putting it together. I wish I had ordered cribs from someone else. We will just have to make do.
We bought this crib over a year ago for our newborn daughter, and it is just perfect. Today we changed it to the toddler bed and it was so easy!!!
After waiting two weeks for this crib to arrive, we were disappointed with what we recieved. Two parts were missing from the set and one side of the crib did not have the pre-drilled holes. The overall appearance was poor and cheap looking. You definitely get what you pay for. After packing it all up and hauling it back to the store, I wouldn't purchase this crib again.
This crib is very nice once it is put together but that is the hard part. My husband is usually good at these kind of things but he needed to call my father in law to come help him and it still took 2 hours to put together.
Myself and the babies other grandmother put this crib together in three hours. Would recommend another Allen wrench to make things go faster.
My daughter was able to put this up and it was easy. It looks beautiful in the baby's room!
Beautiful crib but you must be patient this bed has a lot of pieces to put together.

To the Editor.—
Regarding the discusion in QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS (239:351, 1978) concerning a patient with hemoptysis during orgasm, we would like to share the following case.
Report of a Case.—
A 34-year-old woman was referred for evaluation of hemoptysis occurring only when she achieved orgasm during her menstrual period. Physical examination, chest x-ray film, coagulation values, and cardiac echo were normal. Bronchoscopy during her menses was entirely normal below the cords, but upper airway examination showed a greatly engorged nasal mucosa that bled easily when touched. This engorgement was not present between menses.
Since this phenomenon occurred only while supine, our supposition is that this patient aspirated blood from the erectile tissue along the inferior turbinates, tissue known to become engorged during menstruation and orgasm. A second cause of hemoptysis during menses considered in this patient was extrapelvic endometriosis. An area of ectopic endometrium would be vascular and

'Biggest Gathering On Earth' Begins In India; Kumbh Mela May Draw 100 Million

Imagine one-third of the entire U.S. population — 100 million or so people — visiting Dallas in the next 55 days.
That gives you a sense of what began today in Allahabad, India, a northern city of about 1.1 million people. Over about the next eight weeks it is expected to host nearly 100 times its population in pilgrims (not all at once, obviously). They're coming for the Hindu festival of Kumbh Mela, which happens every 12 years.
Today alone, the BBC reports, at least 10 million pilgrims were expected to come to bathe "at the confluence of the Ganges and Yamuna rivers." That's about five times more people than attend Mecca's annual six-day hajj for Muslims.
According to the BBC:
"The Kumbh Mela has its origins in Hindu mythology — many believe that when gods and demons fought over a pitcher of nectar, a few drops fell in the cities of Allahabad, Nasik, Ujjain and Haridwar — the four places where the Kumbh festival has been held for centuries. ...
The Times of India says that the nectar promises immortality. By 8 a.m. local time today, the newspaper adds, police estimated that 1.5 million people had already gathered "with more on their way."
And, the Times reports:
"At the riverbank, men with dreadlocked beards to their feet vied for media attention with yogis supporting heavy weights with their genitals, while others holding golden umbrellas, flags and swords rubbed sand on their bodies after the dip. ...
"More than 2,000 years old, the festival is a meeting point for the Hindu sadhus, some who live in forests or Himalayan caves, and who belong to dozens of inter-related congregations. The sects have their own administration and elect leaders, but are also known for violent clashes with each other.
"Some naked, some wrapped in saffron or leopard-print cloth and smoking cannabis pipes, the holy men hold court by fire pits in sprawling camps decorated with coloured neon lights, where they are visited by pilgrims who proffer alms and get blessings."
According to the BBC, "14 temporary hospitals have been set up with 243 doctors deployed round-the-clock, and more than 40,000 toilets have been built for the pilgrims. Police checkpoints have been set up on all roads leading to Allahabad and about 30,000 policemen and security officials have been deployed to provide security during the festival."

Warner Bros.' live-action Tarzan film seemed like it was going places, but a new report claims it's dead in the water. The movie, which was going to be directed by Harry Potter helmer David Yates, was looking to cast people like Alexander Skarsgard as Tarzan and Jessica Chastain as Jane.
Deadline contends Tarzan's high budget led to its downfall, with the studio shutting down all plans to make the film in 2013 and even closing the production offices. It was originally belied that Tarzan would start shooting over the summer. But that doesn't mean the movie will be dead forever.
According to the report, this Tarzan project has been near and dear to Warner Bros.' heart for a while, and the studio has been trying to get it made for years. They're going to give it another go in 2014, with the plan still to have Yates direct. Another problem could have been casting and timing, as the studio reportedly wanted Jamie Foxx to play Tarzan's third lead. That might be the "ex-mercenary who helps Tarzan save the Congo from a vicious warlord" role that Samuel L. Jackson was previously rumored for.
The consensus seems to be that Tarzan will only move forward if its budget drops significantly. According to an earlier report, Tarzan will center on John Clayton III, the famous "ape man" Tarzan, years after he's re-assimilated into English society. Asked by Queen Victoria to investigate "the goings-on in the Congo," he teams with a former mercenary named George Washington Williams to save the country from a warlord who controls a massive diamond mine.
I wish that I could say that I'm surprised by this news but I'm not.Of course the budget would be over the top when you want to create a Tarzan who is able to swing through the jungle like Spider-Man with all the acrobatics and movements of an Ape, thus using CGI effects
.It's a tricky proposition to pull this off but it can be done with our tech in this new century. You can never say that you've truly lived unless you've taken a risk here and there in your life.
I'm so saddened to read this news. Its been way too many years since we have got a new Tarzan Live Action Movie. It needs to happen & soon PLEASE!!! Its about time Tarzan made a come back and with the CGI
7 special effcts these days this movie could be outstanding.

AbstractDried blood spot (DBS) analysis has gained recognition in recent years in basic science and clinical diagnostics. This impetus relies upon its numerous advantages over the collection, transport and storage of blood samples obtained by conventional venipuncture. Although there is wide-spread interest in DBS, optimization of sample collection and extraction methods, as well as, the subsequent analyses by standard analytical methods is still in its infancy. Therefore, preliminary experiments comparing different extraction methods (e.g. alcohol incubation and electrospray transfer) were carried out and analyzed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). We propose that electrospray ionization-transfer offers superior extraction to that of the standard chemical methods by 1) efficient extraction of analytes from the DBS substrate and 2) concentration of the analyte.
