Canon EF 11-24mm f4L Rumors, Reviews and Sample Photos
The Rumored Canon EF 11-24mm f4L Announced!
Canon finally did it. They've announced the 11-24mm f4L. This was a lens Canon absolutely needed two years ago and should now help to fill that void that Nikon has dominated for so long.
I just found out it has a slot for a rear gelatin filter.
Order Links
Canon 11-24 f4L Pre-Order - (Amazon) (Adorama)
The charts look really good but the price is a bit of a concern. Knowing Canon, they always overprice their lenses on launch, then reduce it after a few months. Then after a year or so it will be priced a bit more reasonable.
If this is to rich for your blood, check out the Tamron 15-30mm f2.8 lens. It's a worthy competitor.
Why This Lens?
This lens is most likely being created in response to user requests and the ever so popularity of the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8 lens available on Nikon setups.
This lens would be geared primarily for the landscape photographer or the sports photographer. It would be great for shooting skateboarding or other X-game types of sports.
Canon 11-24mm F4 Features
One Super UD element and one UD element to significantly cut down chromatic aberrations.
Four aspheric lens elements. This should help with distortion.
Super wavelength Coating and Air Sphere Coating (SWC and ASC) helps minimize unwanted flaring and ghosting.
Canon says the weather sealing is highly resistant to dust and water. You won't find this in the Tamron I bet.
9 Blade Aperture. So the out of focus objects in your scene have a nicer bokeh. Not like it matters, it's a landscape photographers lens.
Minimum focus distance of 11 inches.
You can use manual focus at anytime. Pretty common with higher end Canon lenses. It's nice adjusting focus so you're not working against the focus motor.
Flourine coating on front and rear. Helps with keeping things clean.
The Rumor Mill
Update: 02.06.14 It's here!
Update: 02.02.14 It will be announced this week on Friday.
Update: 11.11.14 There's been a leak here. I bet this thing is just around the corner.
Update: 10.10.14 Another mention of the 11-24 at cr possibly a $3,000 price tag. It better be good!
Update: 09.26.14 There is a new Tamron you should take a look at, the Tamron 15-30mm VC with IS. They created the lens with the goal to beat the Canon 16-35mm and the Nikon 14-24mm in quality and release it at a fraction of the cost. I look forward to seeing it in action when it comes out.
Update: 09.24.14 No Canon 11-24mm lens yet which is a surprise. Maybe the new 16-35mm F4 IS lens is selling well and they don't want to release something that competes with it. I know the Sony Zeiss 16-35mm lens is the number one selling lens on Amazon right now. But Canon's is better. :)
Update: 09.01.14 Looks like the 11-24mm F2.8 is coming very very soon. Maybe Photokina? Unfortunately it will be priced at $2800 dollars. Out of most peoples price range. And honesly, it's just not worth it. Instead, Sigma is releasing a 14-24mm F4 ART lens. Probably will be just as good at half the cost. I might have to pick that one up instead of the Canon unfortunately. But it doesn't mean I won't be renting the Canon 11-24mm and reviewing the hell out of it. :)
Expect this lens to drop in price within four months of it's release. Canon always does that. They overprice their lenses for the first few months. I imagine it will land somewhere around the $2,000-$2,400 price range by this time next year.
Update: 08.15.14 Looks like Sigma is about to announce a 12-24mm f/4 ART lens. This will be really cool and could be the solution to our problem with Canon not having a lens in this range yet. I'll be very interested in this lens and watching it closely. Also, there are more rumors floating around about that 11-24mm Canon lens as well. Looks like an f2.8 which would be very nice. But that won't be as immediate as the Sigma 12-24mm f/4.
Update: 05.18.14 Guess what. I'm hearing this lens is in the works. The 14-24. Finally. I think what's happening and this was a rumor I read many years ago. That Canon has been working on a large megapixel camera. Something around 50. But they were having battery problems, and when you get to a camera of that megapixel magnitude, you need more pristine lenses. I don't think Canon would release a camera without have a lens line up to really show it off. Canon has always been about the lenses. Notice Canon has been updating many of its lenses lately. So we'll likely see this camera and the 12-24mm Canon lens launch this year. Sounds super exciting if you ask me.
Update: 05.13.14 Canon announces a new 16-35mm F4L IS. Looks to have a big improvement over previous model. Sharper at wide and tele with less chromatic aberrations.
Update: 05.07.14 Finally an update. Canon rumors got a tip that there will be a new 11-24 f4 lens coming soon. It would be expensive. Not sure if it's APS-C or Full Frame though. Also a new 16-35mm f4 IS coming down the pipe. This is great news as Canons ultra wide lens line up has always been lacking great options.
Update: 01.01.14 Canon has filed a patent for an 11-24mm ultra wide angle lens zoom. This could be awesome as 11 is even wider than 12, but I've seen patents for a 12-24mm years ago. And Development to release with Canon usually takes years, even decades. So don't expect anything like this anytime soon, or even at all.
Update: 11.26.13 2014 will be the year of the lens for Canon. This is fantastic news. Hopefully we'll see this 14-24mm. Keep in mind, you can always buy the Nikon 14-24mm and get a converter. Patrick Di Fruscia does this with spectacular results. You can find his work at difrusciaphotography.com
Update: 11.10.13 Canon's lens roadmap future is looking bright. Many new lenses coming in 2014. Canon has been hit hard by all the chaos of Japan these last few years. They've even had to delay lenses by up to a year. Hopefully we'll see a new 35mm next year as well as this 12-24mm. I've seen patens for it. Let's have it Canon!
Update: 08.30.13 It's said Canon will be announcing a new L lense soon. Not sure what it could be. I know Canon is investing more money into their mirrorless camera system. It could be for that, or it could be the 12-24mm. Hopefully it's not another 600mm or some super teli lens that only bird photographers will use.
Update: 08:15:13 No news. From seeing all the trends in digital photography lately and where everyone is going, I get a feeling that Canon and Nikon are going to become the next Blackberry. They seem to just refuse to make products people actually want. For example, Sony NEX-7, NEX-FF, Fujifilm x100s. Sony RX1, unless you're a nature photographer, this is where consumers are going.
Update: 06:19:13 Canonrumors had some interesting news on the new wide angle lens line up. A few new wide angles this year. One will be likely the 14-24 and a possible new 16-35. I don't think there is anything wrong with the current 16-35, maybe could use sharper corners. I personally have loved mine. Here is the link to their post.
Update: 03:27:13 Sorry I have heard nothing and seen nothing about this lens recently.
Update: 03.02.13 Haven't heard or read anything recently on this len. I read about the possibilities of a Canon 12-24mm f2.8L. This would be an interesting lens and fit better into Canons lineup. However, I've never seen a full frame lens at 12mm that has an f2.8 aperture. This would be a very attractive lens since our only option for an ultra wide zoom this wide for a full frame Canon users is the Sigma 12-24mm. Sigma has been upping their game with their lenses. Maybe they will make a pro 12-24mm for us Canon folk.
Canon has recently released a patent on this lens you can find it at Canonrumors.com as well as other information about upcoming rumors.
Alternative Ultra-Wide Full Frame Lenses To Consider
If you can't wait for this lens, here are some great alternatives.
Canon 16-35mm f4 IS (Amazon)
A really good update to the lens, it's supposedly on par with the Nikon 14-24mm, but the F4 makes it not ideal for star photography.
Canon 16-35mm f2.8 II (Amazon)
I own this lens, it's been great. Not as good as the new 16-35mm f4 in terms of IQ, but if you shoot star photography the f2.8 looks really good on this lens. See my full review here.
Samyang 14mm f2.8 (Amazon)
Also sold as the Rokinon or Bower, I only list this as a temporary alternative. If you need something ultra wide now to tie you over, this is a great fun lens for only $300 bucks. I've done a full review of this lens here and I love it.
Sigma 12-24mm f4.5-5.6 (Amazon)
Not as good as the Canon or Nikon, but it's a good bang for the buck.
Zeiss 14mm f2.8 Distagon (Amazon)
This is the cream of the crop. But really expensive right now for some reason. Hopefully Sigma gives us a 14mm ART lens soon to bring these prices down.
Canon 14mm f2.8 (Amazon)
A great ultra-wide but the Zeiss 14mm performs better if you don't mind manual focus.
For those interested in what 14mm looks like on a full frame camera, here are a few samples photos of some HDR photography I shot on my Samyang 14mm.

text: 1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data Hi there I never managed to get a decent set of results in my physics coursework as I was unfortunately ill for the last few lessons of experiment time! My teacher won't let have an extension and won't let me do any more experimenting during lunch hours! Basically by using an LDR I was looking at how the depth of water effect the resistance of the LDR (by measuring current) and hence finding out how depth of water affected the amount of light absorbed by the water. I know that obviously that the deeper the water is the the more light will be absorbed meaning the resistance of the LDR will be greater as less light will pass through the water however: I'm unsure as too whether the amount of light absorbed by the water is directly proportional to the depth or not. Could anyone help me......I did manage to get some results which suggested that as the water got deeper the rate at which light was absorbed decreased (as the water got deeper the difference in current between each depth decreased.) 2. Relevant equations Ohm's law I=V/R comes into play, I am using a power pack to supply a constant 3 volt voltage to the circuit. So as resistance due to light absorption changes the current will also change. 3. The attempt at a solution I think I've already outlined my attemt, it's simply I didnt have enough time to complete my experiment as enough different depths to draw an accurate conclusion to how light absorption is affected by depth, so was wondering if anyone on here could help??

Healthcare Costs are Slowing Down
Via Sarah Kliff, a team of researchers suggests that U.S. healthcare costs really are slowing down — and they've been slowing down since well before the current economic downturn. The data is noisy, but it fits with other studies suggesting an even longer term slowing of healthcare costs. Sarah has more at the link.

A critique of Stefan Molyneux's Discussion with Stephan Kinsella
- « Prev
Posted on 2010 Jul 15 by Aaron
I was directed to a video recently of Stefan Molyneux's where he has a discussion with Libertarian Stephan Kinsella on parenting. Since I know a lot of the people in the School Sucks atmosphere also cross-pollinate with Freedomain Radio, I thought I would comment on the video a bit since it is likely that others have seen the video also.
For those of you that haven't … Here is the link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zWLMTzHaJE . However, My blog should be readable without going through the whole 53 minute video.
When I listen to Libertarian Minarchists discuss ideas that apologize for the state in mild ways, I never feel it is appropriate for me to get angry, attack, or generally be a dick. I think they have wrong ideas in some realms, but they are not the ones who have an emotional drive to control my actions and my life. However, their ideas are also pretty dangerous in their own right, despite their comparative respectful outlook. I have the same feelings about Molyneux, and Kinsella. While I disagree with them, I do not feel that they are horrible people from the ideas they espouse here. Yet, I do think they have some dangerous ideas.
I will take key lines and discuss them. This may be lengthier than other posts, but I think this expresses the profound difference between an Unschooling approach vs. an approach similar to Montessori (for disclosure, I went to a Montessori School for several years as a child, and enjoyed it much more than the public school I went to afterward). I will criticize some of the language they use, and it might seem to some to be a little nitpicky, however, language in many ways defines how we think and how memes get spread.
The first question Molyneux asks of Kinsella is.
"How do you manage the behavior of pre-rational creatures?"(3:26)
One of my strategies in sniffing out unequal or one sided relationships is to always shift the players around. Lets say a politician asked the question "How do you manage the behavior of the people?" Your response would likely be something like "Who are you? I am not your subject to be managed!" Of course you are probably thinking, well this is the difference between a young child who lacks experience and mental capabilities and an adult. I would somewhat agree, but also have strong disagreement. There is a little bit more subtlety at work.
If a person is okay with how they are and live for their own happiness, they don't need to be managed . Let me give an example: if I am assisting my Grandmother as she goes on the internet to look for an image of a happy chicken and starts typing "Gay cock" in Google …I don't need to manage her emotions because they're perfectly fine. What might help her is information and guidance from someone more knowledgeable, not emotional management.
When we desire to manage someone else's emotions it's assuming that their emotions are problematic and are in need of control. Children's emotions are perfectly natural and healthy and don't require management. What they do need is someone to offer them guidance and information that they don't have.
Later on Kinsella introduced the concept of "positive discipline" in commenting on the Montessori system (7:00 onwards).
To me, the concept that a child must be controlled and managed has yet to change. They have a less blatant attempt at controlling people, but it has yet to leave the discussion. Curiosity and great empathy towards the child is not the main focus in positive discipline, but rather controlling the child to be what you think it should be albeit in a less abrasive way. It is still assuming the child is dysfunctional and has behavior problems that need to be controlled rather than understood and worked with at a deeper level to see what causes the behavior. In researching positive discipline for this blog it seems like th authors use more friendly language to disguise controlling, disrespectful behavior on the parents behalf. Here is a link to the Wikipedia page on Positive discipline for your own reference. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Positive_Discipline
At 10:10 Kinsella talks about how much better the homework is at his son's school since it isn't given day to day, but rather has a system that gives it a week at a time and the child is expected to arrange that into his own schedule so he can learn the skills of self-scheduling and self-discipline.
Stefan Molyneux makes a beautiful example of free range cows in his most popular video True News 13: Statism is Dead – Part 3 – The Matrix (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P772Eb63qIY). In it, he talks about farmers give cows more freedom to increase their productivity so they can be more productive to the farmer. He uses this to show how the state gives people limited freedom to take the product of the people's labor.
In the discussion, Kinsella does the same thing for the child. He doesn't give child more freedom because he should be free or because the child should live for their own happiness, but rather because it will increase the amount of what he think the child should learn. While it isn't as vile as what the state does in intent (since he probably does think it is in the child's self-interest), his child's emotions and thoughts are ultimately disregarded and must live to the ends that his teachers and parents ultimately dictate.
The greatest education that could be given to a child (or better put, not taken away) is foremost, to have respect for his own desires and thoughts. In a system where a child must subjugate his thoughts to the desire of parents or teachers he might learn some stuff, but it will be at the cost of his own self-respect.
At 14:30 they talk about letting the children experience consequences by refraining from giving information they might desire.
While I have no problem with a child experiencing consequences, I do have a problem with knowingly not giving them information that they would likely appreciate. However, the bigger problem I have with how they are speaking can be shown by using our earlier experiment.
If I said "I believe in letting my wife experience consequences." That would sound like I am teaching my wife in an unequal relationship. If I had information that she would like and I didn't share it with her, and she experiences consequences as a result and finds out that I could have provided it, she would naturally think I'm an ass.
A child doesn't have to learn every mistake on their own. We all try to learn information from other people. Let them know the stove is hot, but if they are persistent you don't need to nag. You can say another warning if you are that worried, but otherwise give them the freedom and don't be a jerk if he does get burned. Sometimes we want to experiment despite the warnings for various reasons.
In discussing the Montessori approach at around 17:00 Kinsella talks about how children are believed to have different development periods at different ages, and says "What they say is your mind is developing each of these [developmental periods], you have different interests different social needs , or whatever. So they sort of arrange an environment around the children in which the child can learn or teach themselves"
Assuming (for argument sake) that these developmental periods do exist which produce certain desires, I'm not sure why their environment needs to be centrally planned in order for them to learn. If they desire certain stimuli wouldn't they gravitate towards what they desire? If you just make different environments available wouldn't they be drawn towards the environment they want? This leads to a more fundamental question: what if, in the moment, they prefer basketball to learning anything commonly considered educational? However, I will address this question in more detail later.
The quote underlies more fundamentally why I view the Montessori system analogous to minarchy, while unschooling would be the more anarchistic approach. Unschooling assumes the child's is an end in himself, his desires and thoughts rules his life while the parent/teacher act only as a facilitator. In the Montessori system the teacher ultimately decides what is best, and while they do give deference to the child, it is only within a limited world where the child must submit his desires to authority when the authority requires it.
At about 23:50, Molyneux talks about how in Montessori Schools and many private schools the child is actually the customer.
But that's not true. That's the system implemented by unschooling and free schools . If the child is the customer, a market would form around a child's desires. He would play when he wants to play, learn when what and how he wants to learn, he would choose his teachers, or decide to learn it on his own. The Montessori School along with any other non-free school is ultimately back up by authority and force. The teacher is the one who decides, and if you wish to leave you will usually be ultimately coerced back to class. Private and Montessori schools are no more serving children voluntarily as the government is serving us voluntarily.
At 38:45 they briefly talk about unschooling. Molyneux hesitantly says (conceding his lack of knowledge), "You don't have a curriculum. It is just whatever the kid is interested in, that's what you facilitate." Afterwards he seems to express strong skepticism, then goes on to talk about homeschooling where he says: "I'm not a huge fan of homeschooling, because I have a huge amount of respect for the profession of teaching. I think it is a difficult thing. I don't do my own dentistry. I don't make my own clothes. I don't make my own antibiotics. I am big on specialization. … A really good teacher is a complete gem, and I don't think you can reproduce that at home." Later he stated that he doesn't find homeschooling necessary since there are a lot of good schools around him.
Unschooling is not against teachers in anyway. However it does allow children to choose their teachers voluntarily. Teaching is a great art that requires great skill, but as with any skilled dentist they should all be voluntary to the person who desires the self-improvement. If the child no longer wants the teacher than the child should leave. If he doesn't want the school, dislikes their classmates, or just wants to watch Spongebob, then they should have those options open to them.
Tomorrow I am going to work, eat, socialize, surf the internet and probably some other stuff. I want to do them when I want to do them. I accept that I can only work within certain times, but I accepted that because of the benefits I feel it will bestow on me, and I know I have the freedom to stop working at any moment if I no longer desire the benefits over the work. A child should possess the same freedom.
Molyneux has often made podcasts about how the state tries to make you ignore the gun in the room. However, this is the same thing parents and teachers do. If the student wants to play basketball while the teacher wants them working on reading … appeals to authority is what the child will hear and generally, at some point, they will understand that they will be coerced into doing what the teacher wants. There is no good argument about why a child should read if he doesn't feel like it in the moment and would prefer basketball. The child, at some level, will know this. This kind of automatically accepted authority is what makes governments automatically accepted by the same person. Since children are generally weaker than their parents and teachers, the gun is unnecessary, but the principal is the same.
Early in the podcast Molyneux questioned Kinsella "How you manage the behavior of your son without using spanking or other forms of aggression? which I think would be pretty much violations of the Non-aggresstion principle"(3:03) To which I would say … If you are not using force in anyway (including implied force) that your child is Unschooled. John Holt (the most prominent unschooling advocate) was foremost against compulsory schooling of any sort towards the child, whether from government or from the parent. It seems that a child sent to any school outside of a free school is ultimately being forced, by their parents on the way, and by their teachers upon arrival.
Molyneux's listeners are unschooled in regard to their interest in Freedomain Radio. They did not need someone to guide them there and keep them in their seat or to provide the environment. Their own curiosity and drive for the truth guided them into exploration and Molyneux is merely the facilitator. Each person can press pause and play basketball, or not listen to a new podcast for a month while they pursue a new interest, or they can ferociously plow through all of his podcasts without eating or sleeping (which judging by the number that have been made, would cause death 10 times over).
Unschooling is a philosophy that is open and respectful to the child. He might not learn what you think he should learn, but he will learn what he thinks he should learn and he will feel powerful over his own life and future. Learning doesn't start at 6 and end at 18, but starts a birth and ends at death. The philosophy of unschooling might be summed up best in Molyneux's own words from the video: "It is assuming that the child is competent and benevolent and curious. Wants to learn, wants to explore, has good judgment and you just need to facilitate that."(25:00)
Commentsnskinsella[/font], about 6 hours ago, said...I'm a libertarian, and a parent. You seem to have some interest in this "unschooling" thing, which is fine and which is your right, but you seem to think others know about this (they don't), that it's obviously superior (I really doubt this given what you've said so far), and that it's got some connection to libertarianism (I doubt this too--overthickism). To analogize a designed classroom with central planning is thickism run amok. The problem with central planning is that it involves aggression agaisnt property rights (which setting up a classroom doesn't) and that it suffers from the calculation problem (a private institution does not). You said that we favored some use of police, etc. violence against kids--that is crazy. We are both libertarians, both against corporal punishemnt (I'm against punishment altogether), and anarchists. You are free to have your own philosophy about education, and to rear your kids the way you see fit. I'm skeptical there is any one right approach. You can believe there is if you want. But I disagree with your attempted linkage between your pet educaitonal preferences and views, and libertarian principles. I have seen lots of rinky dink little schools set up based on some founder's pet ideas. It reminds me of the way protestants split off from the Roman Catholic Church and set up their own things, always reinventing the wheel. Montessori is not perfect but it's had a century to refine its approach and there is an overall, systematic, guiding philosophy that teachers etc. can draw on. It's not ad hoc and subject to the latest fads that some guy heading his own rinky dink school might latch onto. There is continuity and deep thinking about this. I said in the interview I am not dogmatic about montessori or any particular approach, but what I like about it is that they focus deeply and think about the child and his appropriate stage. Your main opposition seems to lie in your "unschooling" ideas and some kind of view that you apparently hold (that you think we other libertarians know about but do not) that kids should "choose" their own teachers, that if you don't let them run into traffic it is some kind of violation of their rights. You are free to hold these views but frankly they sound kooky and crankish. I honestly think you are going to have a hard time persuading parents to turn their kids over to someone who thinks it's aggression not to let a kid wander away from the building, or that it's some kind of authoritarianism or police action to choose their teachers or caretakers. For you to insinuate my ideas are "dangerous" or wrong is, I think, obviously wacko. I'm a libertarian, like you apparently, and am opposed to aggression. To equate use of schools--even private schools--to educate children with central planning, statism, etc., is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard. I suppose it's possible there is more to this "unschooling" "philosophy" you have latched onto than would appear from the surface, but given your comments so far you are not making a good case for taking it seriously at all.Aaron0883, about 1 hour ago, said...Mr Kinsella. You didn't really address my arguments. If a child doesn't want a teacher, should we force that teacher on him? If a child doesn't want to go to school, should we force that on him? If a child naturally desires to play when an adult wants him to read, should we force reading on him? I believe in treating a child's desire with utmost respect. He has them for a reason, and when we say they should read when their desires yearn to play, we are undermining their natural desires and teaching them to obey authority. Should they obey authority because authority is right? I can not find a way to make an argument that in one random moment it is right for the child to read rather than to play. He might wish to read later. Therefore we are telling them that they should obey authority as a virtue ... which obviously undermines any other true virtue there is. If a blind man wandered into traffic I would physically stop him. Do you, as a Libertarian, find that to be a violation of the Non-Aggression Principal? If a child walked in front of traffic I would stop him. This seems a criticism you have been given as a libertarian, and it seems willfully ignorant to ask it of me. I compared forced education (including Montessori) to central planning because it is an authority determining what a group of people will do by threat of force. I think that is a fair use of the phrase central planning. I went to a Montessori School. I have read 3 of Maria Montessori's books. I was an advocate of the Montessori system for years. I largely enjoyed the Montessori school that I went to, and begged my parents to send me back once I experienced public school. I liked the Montessori school because of what other options I could compare it to. However, If I chose not to go to school I would have been forced to go. If I wanted to leave school I would have been forced to stay. If I didn't want to do what my teacher thought I should do, I might receive some initial empathy, but in the end I would have ultimately been forced to do what the teacher wanted me to do. This is a fairly clear violation of the NAP. I wasn't making a case for Unschooling in this blog. I merely pointed to problematic ideas that I saw. I had no desire to offend, and I believe I handled it sensitively. I do understand that criticizing a way someone parents their child can be a sensitive subject. However, the condescending tone in your response is unneeded and unhelpful. I encourage you to answer my questions if you wish, or address the original arguments I have made in this post. Aaron

Sporting KC forward Jacob Peterson
to undergo shoulder surgery on Friday
Four-month recovery expected for seventh-year pro
(November 12, 2012) - Sporting Kansas City forward Jacob Peterson will undergo surgery to repair a subluxed right shoulder on Friday and is expected to require a four-month recovery, the club announced on Monday.
Peterson, 26, appeared in 23 MLS matches for Sporting Kansas City during the 2012 regular season and matched his career-high with four goals in MLS competition. The seventh-year professional out of Indiana University also added a game-winning assist in a 2-0 victory over Toronto and scored the game-winning goal in the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup Semifinals.
Peterson sustained the injury while diving for a header in the 67th minute of a 2-1 loss against the Columbus Crew on July 28. He missed five MLS matches before returning in a 1-1 draw against the Houston Dynamo on Sept. 14.

Late Weichselian to Holocene Evolution of the Maputo Bay, Mozambique

MetadataShow full item record
During the Quaternary the volume of the world's oceans fluctuated, with sea level falls as the water has been incorporated into polar and high latitude ice sheets, and sea level rise as these have subsequently melted. Sea-level lowstands were therefore related to the Pleistocene glaciations, while high-stands correlate with interglacials. In general the climate variations in Africa shows a simple relation: Cold or cool climates are associated with dry episodes and warm climates are associated with wet episodes. This applies to the major Milankovich driven glacials and interglacials, as well as to short-lived intervals related to sun spot activities. The reconstruction of palaeoshorelines in the Maputo Bay, and the climate around the Maputo Bay is based on bathymetric maps. At about 18,000 yr BP (-130 meters sea level) the Maputo Bay was located in an inland position. As the sea level rose to about 20 m below present around 9000 - 10000 years BP, a barrier island complex deve.....

I think one essential aspect of selling on the internet is monitor calibration. There is no real standard for calibration and I would think the general public just uses factory settings or adjusts to their own comfort level. Where as do photographers and website developers calibrate to the same standard?
Video cards, crt vs lcd, older model pc's, size of jpeg files, will all effect how photographs are seen on a pc from the internet and influence whether or not they will buy. I have a monitor calibration page on my website and I see others have the same. But I wonder just how effectvie it is.

This thread is a collection of suggestions for teaching the "stations of the cross" to children."Stations" are a way of teaching the sequence the story.Each station can include an activity."Stations" could be-parts of an art project-stations in a game-places in your church-or a variety of tables in the classroom where different activities are moved through in sequence (computer, video, craft, memory game)
10 Room Stations
We adapted a Stations of the Cross program from my home church in Connecticut to make an 8 room Sunday morning program. We did 10 stations last year but it was too long for the time we had.This year,our 8th-12th graders ran each station. We set aside 8 rooms with two or three high school aged leaders in each room who read a reading and either did a brief activity with the rotation aged kids or gave them a "gift". [LIST]For Palm Sunday, they reinacted Jesus's arrival in Jerusalem (in 4 minutes flat). [LIST]For Teaching/Betrayal, each child was given a nickel to remind them of the pieces of silver. [LIST]For Washing of Feet, we had the senior highs wash and dry the children's hands. [LIST]For the Last Supper, the children shared a loaf of King's Hawaiian Bread and grape juice. [LIST]For the Trial, we had a homemade crown of thorns and a robe and a stick for the kids to touch or try on. [LIST] For the Crucifixion, we gave the children small wooden crosses. The reading was done half in darkness by candlelight and we ripped a piece of cloth when the curtain of the temple was torn in two. [LIST]For the Burial, we had the children grind spices. We have some myrrhh that the children could touch and see. [LIST]We have added a resurrection room because we don't have Sunday School on Easter. This year, the children were given plastic crosses with bubble liquid in them.The kids really enjoy our modified "Stations" and the adult shepherds find it a very good reminder of the holy week story. We will do it (or a variant) again next year. If you want a copy of the readings/instructions that we gave our Senior Highs, just email me at email@example.com
Way of the Cross Good Friday
We do a Way of the Cross on Good Friday every year for all ages. Those who can not walk around stay in church and hear the same Scriptures and do the same prayers while everyone else moves around the building and outside. Families have taken turns leading a station and putting their own "mark" on it with their own prayers etc. It is a very sensory event: hands-on, smell, sight and touch are all required. Between stations we sing as we carry a large cross, some chant from Taize or "Were You There". One year children collected a small picture of eg.the bread and wine, the rooster, crown of thorns which they could use to retall the sotry at home, sticking on a "map" of the journey Jesus took. Stations include : Jesus is Condemned, the denial by Peter, Jesus Carries his Cross, Simon of Cyrene, Jesus is Crucified, Jesus is buried, the promise of Easter. Some stations lend themselves to different voices reading the scriptures, some involved a meditation on our sin and pray for the needs at local, national and international levels. It is always very moving. We finish with drinks and hot cross buns together.Some of the activities: making small crosses from wood or twigs to carry and take home as a reminderreading news headlines and pinning them on the crosshammering large nails into the crossputting spices on a picture of Jesus and placing it in the tombhaving a small fire outside for the courtyard scenePerhaps this gives some of you some inspiration! We haven't planned what we will do this year. I'll keep you posted.Blessings,Hilary
Our parish has a different group lead the Stations of the Cross every Friday during Lent. This will be the third that the children of the parish will lead the stations. We use a version that has children friendly language and have one child for each station. Responses are in booklets and on the overhead for the congregation. At the start of the evening we have a short lesson on the history of the stations, you'd be surprised at how many people don't know where it comes from. We have had a very positive response from parishioners and it is an excellent way to involved and teach at the same time.

Stepping Stone Stations of the CrossWe have a lent program that is geared towards the whole church and a palm saturday event that is more for the kids. I used a book, The Story of the Cross: The Stations of the Cross for Children by Mary Joslin. It is beautifully done with powerful prayers.The kids made cement stepping stones inlaid with colored glass. From Palm Sunday to Easter, they were displayed in the church with the prayers from the book as a meditation. After Easter, they were set in a meditation garden. It was powerful!Supplies:Book: The Story of the Cross, The Stations of the Cross for Children by Mary Joslin.A couple bags of quik-dry cementWaterTub to mix the cementPan tins from the dollar storeclear contact paperlots of pieces of broken glass, glass balls, beads, etc from the a.c.moore and a stain glass art store.rubber gloves (so no one got cut)------------------------Read the book "story-time" way.Photo-copied the pages so that each child could pick a station and have it in front of them.Cut the contact paper the shape of the round tins and peeled off the paper.The kids then designed their station (remember it is backwards)Then we laid the the design in the tins and poured the cement into the tins and let them dry.After their dry, turn them over and peel off the sticky contact paper. Voila!Then we photocopied the prayer from the book, cut it with the sicors that leave the funny edges and glued it onto colored paper. We have a book case in our parish hall that the kids present all their sunday school stuff in. We usually do a lenten meditation for the church each year. They were displayed there until Maudy Thursday when we put them in the church in the windows.
Stations of the Cross Service
This year we are doing a Children's Stations of the Cross Service where a group of children, in costume, do a still scene for each station as a reader reads the description of the station and says a prayer. When the first group is done, another group of kids steps into their scene and this continues throughout all of the stations.
Shadowbox Stations of the Cross
An idea I'd like to share...I attended a Shadowbox Stations of the Cross last year. Along with readings and music, it was mainly people posed in stills behind a stretched white sheet with colored lights behind it. It was very well done. When it was over and I went back and saw how simple the set up was.I have not done this myself yet. But I can see it being used in other storeies as well.
A Script for Stationswith discussion questions geared towards families/children.I took These Stations of the cross. At the end of the sheet, I came up with questions relating to how they may experience or see this today.Ex: Have you ever felt sad? Has someone every hurt you? How can you help others?Editor's 2012 Note:The link still works and is a really good resource.
Art Stations
Originally posted by Sheila B.Moved here 2012------------------------------Art Study of Stations of the CrossA Lenten Art Study (Intergenerational) on the Stations of the Crossby member SheilaB(subsquently published in Sheila's Diocesan newsletter!)Background:The Stations of the Cross depict 14 events in the last day of Jesus' life. Some churches also use a 15th station of the Arisen Christ. Churches often do a Stations of the Cross service on Good Friday but some religious orders use the Stations for regular meditation. I was looking for a way to bring the adults and children together and I created an art study on the Stations of the Cross that we used as a Lenten Intergenerational Study. This could be done at any time and having more time to spend on each piece could be beneficial. We started the evening with a simple soup, salad and bread supper and during dinner did a brief study on the stations we were focusing on that evening. After supper, people chose the station they wanted to work on and we had parish artists to act as their guides. Our "resident artists" were between 10 and 80 years old. Each team was given a medium to work with and they had to create an artistic reflection on their station. Some are depictions, others representational. Your art will not look like our art, nor should it. Your artists may choose different mediums and your artists may see something different in each station. I will describe each of our stations, tell you the medium used and why if I know. Next year we will do a study where we will write meditations for each piece of art. We used ours for an intergenerational Stations of the Cross Service where we used more understandable and shorter readings on each station than are used in the Book of Occasional Services.The first thing I did was take stock of all the artists in our parish and this includes children. Don't overlook any kind of art. Some forms that we did not use were painting, calligraphy, photography and stained glass just to name a few. Then I listed as many kinds of mediums as I could think would be possible in 1 1/2 hours. If I used a professional artist I let them chose the medium and it was usually the one they worked with most. If it were someone that was just artistically talented, I showed them my list and asked in which they would like to work. I tried not to duplicate a medium to give the most variety of art.We then met as a team and brainstormed on how to incorporate 3yr olds to 80 year olds and still have art. Not every piece was child friendly but we made sure that at least one each night was and we also made garden stepping stones with concrete and mosaic stone, marbles and rock and my youngest children designed almost all of these. The artist supplied the material and had at least an idea or two to suggest in case his team came up with nothing on their own. Each piece was a group effort.We are doing this for 5 weeks and with the exception of the first week, we are studying 3 stations each week. Our first week we studied 2 and had 37 people show up on Valentines day for the study. That is almost double the number that have ever come to a Lenten Study before. I expect the number to grow as word gets out.We have also added an earlier daylight Stations Walk that will be outside (weather permitting, inside the parish hall if it rains) around our church and each station will be spaced enough away from the others that everyone can gather and meditate on the station being taught. It will be a beautiful art show and by people making the stations they take a vested interest in the walk.I have to say, it is the best thing I have done since I started Rotation and it gives the adults a little taste of Rotation type activities.--------------------------------------------------------Station 1: Jesus is CondemnedMedium: OrigamiFolding patterns were found in books and on the internet to create as many people as we could. The ones in our sculpture were from books but I have included web links to some easier ones I found on the web. The 14 year old artist had folded origami for years and with the help of several of our church women they managed to fold enough to create this scene which we put together on a foam board with anchor sticks to hold up the figures.http://www.brooklynorigami.com/monky01.htmhttp://s89015200.onlinehome.us/thepaperfold/mary.htmhttp://s89015200.onlinehome.us...paperfold/joseph.htmhttp://s89015200.onlinehome.us...perfold/shepherd.htmhttp://s89015200.onlinehome.us...aperfold/wisemen.htmAlso put "The Simple Sorcerer" by Perry Bailey in a search engine as well as "The Belle Damsel" by Perry Bailey and you should come up with public domain patterns for these as well.--------------------------------------------------------Station 2: Jesus takes up his crossMedium: WoodThe artists decided to make a cross of crosses. These were mostly all of the young boys of our parish, they drew it out and the resident artist, a woodworker, helped them cut it out with jig saws. Then it was sanded and stained and attached together to form the cross. This was designed to be an outside piece as we originally had planned to have the stations around the outside but rain changed those plans.--------------------------------------------------------Station 3: Jesus falls the first timeMedium: cloth doll and other itemsUsing a cloth bendable doll, some felt and other items the artists created Jesus falling with his cross. These were hot glued to the board for permanence.--------------------------------------------------------Station 4: Jesus meets his motherMedium: clayThe artists created people from the story out of fireable clay. The clay however has not been fired but it is an option that can happen in the future. Presently they are glued on their base.--------------------------------------------------------Station 5: The cross is laid on Simon of CyreneMedium: NylonThe artists created a banner by cutting the nylon with wood burning tools so it would not shred and adhering the pieces to a white nylon banner with hot dots from the tools. The artist later took it home and stitched it together for more permanence. This project took 2 nights to make. She used rolled steel laid out flat under the nylon to burn on and melt the nylon.--------------------------------------------------------Station 6: A woman wipes the face of JesusMedium: Cloth and water color paintThe artists had to pair off. One person laid a piece of cotton cloth over their face and the artist spritzed the cloth with water and then using water color paint, painted over the actual features on the face to create eyebrows, eyes, nose and mouth. It is said that the image of Jesus' face was on the cloth after he wiped it.--------------------------------------------------------Station 7: Jesus falls a second timeMedium: Foam and pins and clovesThis is more of a reflection art. The cross is tipped in a fall and there are items falling off. Sequins and pins and cloves were used to create designs in the foam.--------------------------------------------------------Station 8: Jesus meets the women of JerusalemMedium: Paper relief masksThese are the faces of the artist and 4 young boys. This is created with paper sacks and white glue and water. The paper is torn and actually glued over the face to take on the shape of the face. Each person makes his own but the boys did have some help with the layers to make them smoother. First a strip is fastened around the chin and top of the head and pieces are attached here and then layers are added on top and smoothed with more glue water. The cloth coverings were added to create the illusion of women. They are cloth dipped in liquid starch.--------------------------------------------------------Station 9: Jesus falls a third timeMedium: Wire and woodThis is a wire sculpture. Lengths of wire are twisted to form people and they are nailed to the board and formed into a scene.--------------------------------------------------------Station 10: Jesus is stripped of his clothesMedium: Cloth, starch and woodThis was actually done mostly by a 4 year old and a 6 year old pair of sisters. A cross was nailed together to form a hanger of sorts. Then two square pieces of cloth were folded and cut in the middle to hang over the cross. The artists then cut and ripped the cloths and then soaked them in liquid starch and arranged them to dry. When dry they are stiff.--------------------------------------------------------Station 11: Jesus is nailed to the crossMedium: Wood and square nailsA cross outline was made in the wood by hammering in nails. The figure of Jesus was drawn and a nail crown of thorns was added with other details.--------------------------------------------------------Station 12: Jesus dies on the crossMedium: Found itemsThe cross was previously made for station tableau pictures taken 3 years ago. The artists created a life-size Jesus out of found items (formerly called junk, but real artists call them found items, so we call him found Jesus). When my son, the resident artist for this medium, told me his idea, I was skeptical. A professional artist, told me not to squelch his creativity. I asked him why and he said because Jesus was treated like throwaway junk during this time and he wanted to make him out of Junk. We called him Junk Jesus at home but Found Jesus is so much better. Think about it, Jesus was just expendable trash. By making him out of our throw away items it shows that Jesus is found in everything we do.--------------------------------------------------------Station 13: Jesus is laid in the arms of his motherMedium: Paper MacheThe base was created with foil and balloons and then covered with paper mache. Lesson learned, if you are using paper mache put plastic under the table and at a large diameter as well because little kids shake it everywhere. This was a favorite of our young set. After it dried it was painted and hair was added.--------------------------------------------------------Station 14: Jesus is laid in the tombMedium: Ukrainian Easter EggsThis is art done with wax and dye and eggs. We blew out the eggs and then draw with a special wax tool melted in a flame lines and symbols that you want to stay white then you dye it the lightest color (yellow) then you add more wax to areas you want to stay yellow and dye a darker color. Repeat this process until you have all of the colors you want. Then I find it easiest to heat in a 200 or so degree oven and wipe off the wax until it is all gone. Some people lightly melt it near the candle and wipe but I always burn my egg. When done, varnish them and then we glued them together to form a tomb, as our priest called it an "eggloo" we then added a small shroud wrapped around a body shape. Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the original artwork and in the move to the permanent display my son accidentally dropped the sculpture and it broke. We are in the process of making a new one.--------------------------------------------------------We hope to use these for several years. I have a copy of the bible study and link to the website we used for the stations service and if you want me to e-mail you these, just send me an e-mail. It may be necessary to recommission separate pieces much like the egg tomb as accidents and time happen. The first 3 weeks of this 5 weeks study we had over 40 people each night the last 2 weeks as time got busier we had about 20 people each night. Our artists ranged from age 4 to age 80+.For each of the 14 stations we are also making a stepping stone with a mosaic scene, this is proving very popular with my younger artists. The stepping stones are now proudly placed in a meditative walk in our side garden.Also available are quilt squares and fabric markers so they can draw the station and these will be made into a hanging for each station.Sheila

text: Porterfield, who had never really written songs before, spent a couple years writing a batch of songs on guitar, refining and reworking them, trying them out at open-mike and songwriter nights in Milwaukee, where he now lived, under the name Conrad Plymouth. In time Porterfield assembled a band, which included Nick Berg on keys, Travis Whitty on bass, Damian Strigens on drums, Jeff Mitchell on baritone guitar, and Ben Lester on pedal steel. Field Report were born, and the band developed a sparse, hushed, and intimate backdrop to Porterfield's intricately detailed and very lyrical narrative songs, the best of which, like "Fergus Falls," "I Am Not Waiting Anymore," and "Route 18," conjure up Nebraska-era Springsteen, Blood on the Tracks-era Dylan, or the long epic personal passion songs of Leonard Cohen, and sometimes all of these at once. Vernon and Porterfield touched base when Bon Iver toured through Milwaukee, and Vernon offered Porterfield the use of his April Base studio in Eau Claire when Field Report were ready to record, and in December of 2011, the band met at April Base and recorded a self-titled debut album with engineer Beau Sorenson. The project was then mixed by Paul Kolderie in February 2012 and appeared from Partisan Records the following September, garnering almost immediate critical acclaim. ~ Steve Leggett, Rovi

INSIDE: Tuesday's match info
Keith's win over Genoa-Kingston for the sectional title wasn't what most pleased coach Rillo Oliveira.
It was the way the Cougars (21-3-1) did it, as they rallied from a 1-0 deficit for the 2-1 victory.
"In our three losses this season, we haven't won when the other team scored against us," Oliveira said. "Against Genoa, they overcame that by fighting from behind and winning the game. The way they did that proved to me we're for real."
With the win, the Cougars are one step away from their first Class 1A state soccer berth since placing third in 2009. Keith will meet last year's third-place team Chicago F.W. Parker in Tuesday's 6 p.m. final at the Hoffman Estates Supersectional.
"Getting to this point means so much for our team," Oliveira said. "We set some goals at the beginning of the season and we wanted to set them high."
Since the postseason has begun, F.W. Parker coach Neil Curran said he has seen a change in the Colonels (12-5-5), who last year defeated Stillman Valley 4-1 in the DePaul Supersectional.
"Our season has been up and down," he said. "We've had some difficulty in getting the ball into the back of the net and finishing, but I think we're now finding our swagger as a team. We've won five games in a row, and as a team we've been able to possess the ball, create scoring chances and finish well. We're doing the little things now for the postseason."
The Colonels return seven players from last year's state team led by goalkeeper Max Bermont, midfielders Jacob Weiss and Miles Rosenthal and forward Edgar Bravo.
Keith has two of the area's top scorers in midfielders David Rebollar and Rafi Pelayo, both scoring more than 20 goals.
The Hoffman Estates Supersectional winner will play either Urbana University or Macomb in Friday's state semifinal at 7 p.m. at the Corn Crib in Normal.

Revolt II Black Balisong Butterfly Knife - Black Plain
- Overall Length:8.875"
- Blade Length:3.50"
- Blade Material:Stainless Steel
- Blade Style:Dagger
- Finish:Black
- Edge Type:Plain
- Handle Length:5.33"
- Color:Black
- Weight:5.30 oz.
- User:Right Hand
- Pocket Clip:Tip-Up
- Knife Type:Butterfly

- Brand:Folder-Tec
- Handle Material:Stainless Steel
- Model:Revolt II
- Country of Origin:China
- Product Type:Knife
The Revolt Tanto butterfly balisong knife features matte black coated stainless steel handles, which are skeletonized to reduce weight. The blade is also black finished stainless steel with a false edge (only one side is sharp). These include a pocket clip for easy carry.
The knife also has an important feature worth noting. The Revolt uses two tang pins instead of one (these are the pins that stop the handles from pivoting). This means that the handles won't hit each other, lock-up is tighter and blade wear is reduced. Pretty cool no?
Please Note: These may come with slight imperfections. As with many of the budget butterfly knives, be sure to maintain all screws with loc-tite or thread locker. We CANNOT replace lost screws.
