Colors of the season
HUNTINGTON — While fall foliage's splendor is like a slow train coming here in the Ohio River Valley, around the region, and at higher elevations, good color can be found just a daytrip away.
And at higher elevations around the Mountain State and further north in Ohio, peak color and primetime leaf peeping season is on.
Here's a closer look at the best color and some good road-trips.
West Virginia
BEST COLOR: According to the WV Division of Foresty's fall color hotline, fall color is popping out all over the Mountain State and areas with 2,000 to 3,000 feet in elevation are seeing significant change. Areas such as Canaan Valley and Dolly Sods peaked last weekend. Some recommended places for good color include; Coopers Rock State Forest is at 50 percent color with maples and dogwoods providing a lot of that color. A drive from Cheat Lake to the forest is recommended. Other good places to see good color in the state, in southern West Virginia, Hawks Nest State Park and the New River Gorge are on schedule to provide a colorful backdrop for Bridge Day. Some recommended roads include Route 220 south of Franklin in Pendleton County, U.S. 33 in Randolph County and the area around historic Phillipi.
A GOOD ROAD TRIP: Head down for some Major League leaf peeping in the New River Gorge for the 34th annual Bridge Day, it runs 9 to 3 p.m. Saturday. Watch BASE jumpers throw themselves off of America's second highest bridge and walk the festive gauntlet of more than 130 vendors serving up hot, homemade food and much more. Get there Friday for the Taste of Bridge Day at Smokey's on the Gorge, see Bridge Day the best way with a rafting trip on the New River, and check out the eclectic fall fest both on the bridge as well as taking over downtown Fayetteville. Go online at www.officialbridgeday.com/ for more info.
And just south of Beckley, at Ghent, it's the last weekend (Saturday and Sunday) for Winterplace's scenic chairlift rides. Go online at www.winterplace.com for more info.
COLOR FORECAST: Go online at www.wvforestry.com or call 800-225-5982.
BEST COLOR: As fall color peaks around the state, Ohio State Parks offer autumn adventures which include Halloween campouts, haunted trails and other family-friendly activities, according to the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR).
"This will be the best weekend to see fall color in the majority of the state," said Casey Burdick, ODNR's fall color forester. "People that spend the weekend hiking, biking or hunting not only have the opportunity to enjoy our beautiful fall foliage, but many Ohio State Parks are hosting campouts, hayrides, pumpkin carving and costume contests."
Autumn is the perfect time to enjoy numerous activities to do in Ohio State Parks, such as disc golf. Nearly 20 Ohio State Parks have disc golf, and there is no fee to play. For more information on disc golf, go to parks.ohiodnr.gov/things-to-do/disc-golf.
A GOOD ROAD TRIP: You can see some good color indoors and out this weekend by heading up Ohio 7 up to U.S. 35, and heading into the woods just five miles north of Jackson, Ohio, where Canter's Cave Lodge, hosts the 32nd annual Foothills Art Festival that runs 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday and non to 2 p.m. Sunday with artists from around the region. They've got more than 500 works of art inside in seven categories as well as live music, and then outside, a pre-Revolutionary War encampment by the Sons of Liberty, food vendors and some nearby hiking trails to see the foliage.
Also, over in Harveysburg, Ohio, between Dayton and Cincinnati, it's the last weekend for the super-sized Ohio Renaissance Festival that runs Saturday and Sunday. Call 513-897-7000 or go online at www.renfestival.com for more info.
A little closer to home, Shawnee State Park in Scioto County has a fall hike at 9 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, and up by Athens, Ohio, the 34th Annual Fall Hike takes place at Lake Hope State Park.
COLOR FORECAST: Go online at www.ohiodnr.com and click onto Fall Foliage Report or call 800-BUCKEYE. ODNR also encourages people to take fall color photos and upload them to social media using ODNR's hashtag, #ohiofallcolor2013. Follow @ohiodnr on Twitter and Ohio Department of Natural Resources on Facebook to see more fall color photos.
BEST COLOR: Even though the start of color had us thinking we were ahead of schedule, nature seems to have slowed down a little. We are seeing some nice colors, but looks like peak color will be a little later this month than originally thought, said this week's fall foliage report. Trees that are showing color this week include red maple, dogwoods, hickories, red buds, and black gums.
State naturalist Ron Vanover recommends a ride or hike on the new Dawkins Line Rail Trail. This 18 mile trail begins in Hagerhill, Ky. (Johnson County) and presently ends in Royalton (Magoffin County) with future development to extend another 18 miles to Evanston (Breathitt County). For additional information on biking, horseback riding, or hiking along this trail, visit http://parks.ky.gov/parks/recreationparks/dawkins-line/default.aspx.
And if hiking or biking isn't your thing, another good ideas is to jump on the AA Highway a great place to view spectacular fall beauty. And, there are five state parks in the vicinity, Kincaid Lake, Blue Licks, Carter Caves, Grayson Lake, and Greenbo. Stay at one of these parks and enjoy the fall colors.
A GOOD ROAD TRIP: Just two hours southwest of Huntington, head into the heart of the Red River Gorge, which has more natural bridges or arches than any place east of the Rockies. Visit Natural Bridge State Resort Park on Friday and Saturday, Oct. 18-19 for "Natural Bridge by Moonlight" - a one-time event under a full moon. Guests will be able to ride the sky lift and view Natural Bridge at night. Starting each night at 7 p.m., guests can purchase round-trip sky lift tickets, ascend over 400 feet on a 10 minute sky lift ride and walk out to the arch to enjoy the ambiance of a moonlit viewing of the Natural Bridge, Lookout Point, and the valley surrounding the Middle Fork of the Red River. Adults (ages 13 and up) can purchase round-trip tickets for $15 each, and the cost for children (ages 4-12) will be $10 each. Guests should call ahead 800-325-1710 in case of bad weather. For more information, call 1-800-325-1710 or visit www.parks.ky.gov/findparks/resortparks/nb .

Nash: My barber is an unsung hero
Sometimes the world finds a way to give you a little glimpse into someone's life and, often, that glimpse shines a little light on your own life. I recently gained a little insight into what my barber's job entails.
Larry has been cutting my hair for years. He's good at what he does and his customers, including me, are loyal to him. He's a true professional, he must be, because despite my funny-shaped head, he always gives me a good haircut. It wasn't until just the other day that I realized what a challenge that must be.
It was a nice spring Saturday morning and I decided to do a little yard work in front of the house. I'm not in the mood for yard work very often, so I took out the tools to get started before the moment was lost and I wound up on the sofa watching a baseball game.
I started with the shrubs below our front windows and it didn't take me long to get frustrated. There are about five different types of bushes, some easier to trim than others. As I struggled to trim them evenly, it didn't take me long to realize (since I'd had my hair cut just the day before) that the bushes have the same haircut as me.
And, just like my head, the bushes were funny-shaped and stuff was growing out at crazy angles all over. So I started trimming and eventually it seemed like I used every tool in the garage, pruning closer and closer, trying to get them to look just the way I wanted. I never really achieved that goal, but my "barbershop" customers can't talk back or complain. Larry doesn't have that luxury.
My hair is quite short and it doesn't take very long to cut it. I always thought that meant my haircut was easy. I don't think it is. Larry uses several shavers as he cuts my hair, switching his tools often. He bobs and weaves like a boxer dodging punches as he tries to get the best light on my hair so he can trim it with precision. Sometimes great clumps of hair fall onto the cloth around my shoulder, but more often it is fine, minuscule pieces of hair that drop as he carefully shaves and shapes my haircut.
To be honest, I don't care that much about my hair. I'm glad I still have it, but I don't spend much time on it. The same thing can't be said for Larry, and that's probably why I, and all of his other customers, keep going back to him. He cares about his work and, for about 20 minutes every few weeks, his work is my hair. I think it's this kind of work ethic that makes our country great.
The truth is, our country is great because of all its unsung heroes, professionals who take pride in their work. Teachers, mechanics, plumbers, nurses, mail carriers, farmers and trash collectors don't have monuments dedicated to them, but where would we be without them?
French poet Jean de La Fontaine wrote, "By the work one knows the workman." People like Larry demonstrate their skills, quietly, every day, often unnoticed and unappreciated. They're so good at what they do it appears effortless, but it's not. They might not get the publicity, but they're the heroes of our economy. Maybe it's time we start singing the praises of our unsung heroes.

Kendell Williams
April 18, 2014
INDIANAPOLIS --- Georgia true freshman Kendell Williams has earned USA Track & Field Athlete of the Week honors for her record-breaking performance at the Bulldog Heptathlon in Athens on April 11-12.
Scoring 6,018 points, Williams established new American Junior and U.S. Junior records and claimed the top spot in both the national and collegiate rankings. The Marietta, Ga., native easily bested the previous American Junior record of 5,678 points set by Ellannee Richardson of Washington State in 1999, as well as the U.S. Junior record of 5,754 set by UCLA's Jackie Joyner-Kersee in 1981. Williams sits at the number two position in the 2014 world rankings.
Williams is no stranger to breaking records. At the 2014 NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in Albuquerque, N.M., earlier in March, the 18-year-old Williams shattered the World Junior pentathlon record, scoring 4,635 points.
Williams was named U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Indoor Women's Field Athlete of the Year and the Southeastern Conference Freshman Field Athlete of the Year in recognition of her remarkable accomplishments during the indoor season.
Other winners of the USATF Athlete of the Week in 2014 include: January 15, Chris Derrick; January 22, Galen Rupp; January 29, Galen Rupp; February 5, Alexa Efraimson; February 12, Mike Rutt; Feb. 19, Bernard Lagat; Feb. 26, Sharon Day-Monroe; March 3, David Torrence; March 13, Francena McCorory; March 19, Irene Obera; March 26, Duane Solomon; April 2, Maria Michta; April 7, Noah Lyles; April 14, Kendell Williams.

Comments Thread For: Curtis Stevens Admits That He Wants Close With KO
NEW YORK Curtis Stevens scored first-round knockouts in each of his two fights since January 2010.
With that low level of activity on his record, Stevens clearly can use some rounds Saturday during his scheduled eight-rounder against Derrick Findley in The Theater at Madison Square Garden. But if their nationally televised middleweight match goes the distance, Stevens will consider his performance a failure, even if he wins every round on all three scorecards.

on 300 win mag about a 10% reduction in recoil. Not satisfied and Witt doesn't care.
Anyone tried or have any of these,on a rifle?
on 300 win mag about a 10% reduction in recoil. Not satisfied and Witt doesn't care.
how much will it be installed?
110 Switch Barrel Action - SAV-2 - Choate Varmint Stock
A&B 30-06, 1-10, 24", Sporter Barrel
Brux (SSS) 7MM RM, 1-9, 26", Varmint Barrel, SSS Brake
I've got a JP Tank style brake on a Stevens 200 300 win mag build I did, greatly reduced the recoil for me, (about like shooting a 243 win now) but the noise at the shooters position and the adjacent position is horrible. No one wants to be near me when I shoot it under cover at the range. I also have a brake on a 375 H&H mag Encore rifle barrel and it helps greatly also.

My JP Enterprise "Cooley" brake is awesome. It is a simple engineering principle, to reduce recoil the exhaust gases must be directed backwards. I could not shoot my 308 without this brake, as my shoulder could not handle the pain.
Tried the Savage brake, the JP Cooley reduced recoil by a LOT more. Others at the range have shot my 10TR and they all say this brake is much better than what they were using. They were really interested in seeing their bullet flight.
I would say my recoil is less than a 243, about the same as my 6.8 SPC AR15s.

What's Your BATNA? The Legal vs. the Emotional Divorce – Part 2
In divorce mediation, when someone examines his or her BATNA (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement) they are looking at both the best and worst outcomes if their dispute were to be decided by a Judge. Of course it is often difficult to predict exactly what would happen in court, which is why mediation makes so much sense because it allows people to maintain control over those decisions that impact them the most.
So why do some people still refuse to consider mediation?
Based on what I have heard from people who contact my office to schedule a consultation to hear about mediating their divorce, if their spouse is not willing to come in, it is either because they are not ready to let go of the marriage, or they have a concern about the mediation process itself.
If one spouse is not ready to let go of the marriage, I discuss with that spouse whether the other spouse is likely to change his or her mind, and stay in the marriage. Most of the time the answer I get is "no, they are not going to change their mind." And while I certainly sympathize with the spouse who desires to stay in the marriage, I do not believe I am serving them properly if I don't point out that there may come a time when the spouse who initiated the idea of a divorce is unwilling to wait any longer and will feel the need to retain an attorney to "get things moving."
The second concern, about the mediation process itself, can be addressed simply by saying that nothing that happens in mediation is binding until a legal document has been prepared and signed by each of you with all the required legal formalities. Each of you may also have any legal documents that I prepare reviewed by your own attorney before you sign them, so there is really no risk.
So what's your BATNA? If you want to maintain control over the decisions that are going to have a great impact on your life, and you want to avoid spending thousands of dollars engaged in a hurtful legal battle with your spouse, it seems quite clear that your BATNA is to reach an agreement with your spouse that works for both of you. And that is exactly what we do in mediation.

Greatpoints, Dan. Who would want a stranger(a judge) deciding your fate. The judge doesn't know you or your family.
I'd add to that Dan, by saying that a judge not only doesn't know you or your family, they really have no emotional ties to you, your children or your interests. Maybe you come out well from their decision or maybe you get surprised and do poorly. Mediation is not only for the moment but also about learning about the other party, their underlying interests, finding common ground, managing differences, making good trades based on each side's priorities and hopefully learning a respectful manner in which to communicate from this point forward.
Great article Dan and so important to bring up. What the other spouse doesn't yet realize, is that if they don't agree to at least come in and explore mediation as an option, the alternative is going to be litigation – with all the vitriol that that entails!

8. The method as claimed in
9. The method as claimed in
This application is based on and hereby claims priority to German Application No. 10050371.3 filed on Oct. 11, 2000, the contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.
The present invention relates to a device preferably operating in the temperature range of liquid air. The material, which inevitably has to be able to withstand mechanical load and/or temperature changes and embrittlement, of the component of the device which can be subjected to high mechanical loads must also have required ferromagnetic properties and/or a high magnetic conductivity for the intended magnetic flux guidance and/or flux amplification.
It is known from, e.g. Reed, Materials at Low Temperatures, pages 388/389, to use nickel steel with a nickel content of between 3.5 and 9% for components which can be subjected to mechanical loads for cryogenic applications, i.e. for the temperature range <173 K. Examples of such components include tanks which are required for storing and transporting liquefied gases, such as for example liquid air. Nickel steel with a nickel content of 12% has also already been developed for temperatures below 77 K and especially for use in connection with liquid helium at 4 K. It is essential for these materials that the transition temperature from ductile to brittle be reduced to below the intended application temperature. The abovementioned reference by Reed also refers to additives which may be present in the nickel steel.
However, for the use of a material which corresponds to the invention, it is not only its temperature-dependent mechanical property which is of crucial importance, but also it is necessary for the material which is mechanically suitable for the temperature range mentioned also to have a ferromagnetic property.
The latter property is crucial, for example, when the material is to be used for magnetic flux guidance and/or flux amplification in machines and machine parts which include superconducting elements. Examples are contactless bearings which also include superconducting structural elements which hold a rotating machine shaft in a floating position without contact in a bearing shell by magnetic repulsion forces. In this context, reference is made, for example, to German Utility Model U 9403202.5 "Magnetische Lagerungseinrichtung mit Hoch-Tc-Supraleitermaterial" and to U.S. Pat. No. 5,777,420 "Superconducting Synchronous Motor Construction".
Therefore, it is an object of the present invention to use a material which, at the low operating temperatures required, has sufficient strength, even in the long term, for the expected mechanical loads, e.g. does not become brittle at the low temperatures, and moreover has ferromagnetic properties for the purpose of magnetic flux guidance and/or amplification, for a component of the device which is of relevance in this context.
It was determined as a result of tests being carried out that a nickel steel X8Ni9, DIN 1.5662, US standard ASTM A353, A553 has ferromagnetic properties for the abovementioned purposes even at temperatures below 77 K. This is a temperature range which is preferably of relevance to the invention. Even at these low temperatures, this material has so little tendency to become brittle that it does not suffer any ductile fracture even under mechanical load. Nickel steel containing from 3.5 to 8% of nickel also has a sufficiently high ferromagnetic property for the above-mentioned applications to enable it to be used for elements for magnetic flow guidance and/or amplification. The same is also true of nickel steel containing 12 to 13% of nickel.
Not only does the mechanical strength of the material with ferromagnetic properties required in accordance with the object play a role in, for example, rotating machine parts, on account of the centrifugal forces which occur, but also reliably mechanical stable material is advantageous or even imperative for the encapsulation and holding of magnet with high-temperature superconductor coils. This is the case, for example, if the holder also acts as a flux-guiding means.
These and other objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent and more readily appreciated from the following description of the exemplary embodiments, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings of which:
FIG. 1 shows a cross section through a rotor of an electric motor with superconducting field excitation in the rotor and a rotor core as component made from material which is used in accordance with the invention.
FIG. 2 shows a high magnetic field device with superconducting magnet field coil, as is known in principle, for example, from DE-C 19813211.
FIG. 3 shows a magnetic bearing of a rotor shaft using high-temperature superconductor material, as is known in principle from DE-C 4436831.
FIG. 4 shows a superconducting magnet coil as Is known from WO 96/08830.
Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.
In FIG. 1, 1 denotes, as the device of the invention, the rotor, which in FIG. 1 is illustrated in cross section perpendicular to the axis, of an electric motor with superconducting excitation winding. The superconducting coils, which are arranged or designed in stepped form, are shown in one half of the illustration and denoted by 2. They include, in a known way, strip conductor windings made from a high-temperature superconducting material used for this purpose. Materials of this type are well known. A current which is excited in a coil 2 of this type generates a magnetic field with a magnetic field H or magnetic flux density B which in the inner cross-sectional region of the coil is directed axially with respect to the coil. This rotor also includes, in a manner which is known for rotors for electric motors, a core 3 which guides the magnetic flux, as a component which is advantageously made from ferromagnetic material. 4 denotes magnetic flux guidance of this type in this core 3. With the structure of the in this case 4-pole rotor which is illustrated, there are then two north poles N and two south poles S as poles of the core 3 or rotor 1 of the motor, as is known. According to the invention, this core 3 preferably consists of nickel steel, with a nickel content of 9 to 13%, or is DIN standard steel X8Ni9 DIN 1.5662.
FIG. 2 shows a magnet 11 with superconducting coils 12 which is known in terms of its design principles. These coils are located in a cryostat housing 13 with a correspondingly thermally insulated holder. Two steel rings as a component of the invention are denoted by 14 and 15 and in this case are used for magnetic flux guidance and shaping. These components are exposed to considerable magnetically induced mechanical forces. Therefore, these rings are made from nickel steel. This flux-guidance measure makes it possible to improve the homogeneity of the magnetic field between the poles 16 of the magnet 11.
FIG. 3 shows a magnetic floating bearing, which is known from the abovementioned patent, of a rotor shaft 31. 34 denotes annular permanent magnets which are in this case arranged on the shaft 31 and are axially polarized as shown. These permanent magnets 34 are oriented in such a way with respect to one another that the axial magnetic field of two adjacent magnets 34 are opposite one another in these magnets and are then together oriented radially outside the magnets.
For radial guidance of the magnetic flux 134 which originates from the permanent magnets, the rings made from ferromagnetic material, which are denoted by 33 and are illustrated in section, are provided on the shaft 31.
A layer or sleeve of superconducting material is denoted by 35. It is positioned on or at the inner side of the sleeve-shaped outer bearing shell. This superconducting material is cooled to the low temperature required for superconduction by a coolant, e.g. liquid nitrogen. This coolant flows inside the coolant passages which are denoted by 132 and are in this case provided in the stationary outer bearing shell 36.
The electrical shielding currents which occur in the superconducting material when the bearing shaft with the permanent magnets on it rotates effect the magnetomotive forces required for the floating bearing of the shaft.
The gap between the rotating parts and the stationary parts of an arrangement of this type is known to be made as small as possible. However, this has the effect that the permanent magnets and the rings 33 are also cooled to low temperatures. For this reason, it is provided that the rings 33, as components which are subject to mechanical loads as a result of the centrifugal force which occurs, preferably consist of ferromagnetic nickel steel.
As illustrated, the magnetic field coil 40 shown in FIG. 4 includes superconducting coils 42 positioned on top of one another in the axial direction. At the ends of the coils there are rings 43, the shape and dimensions of which are matched to the coils and which preferably consist of ferromagnetic nickel steel used in accordance with the invention, as the component. The magnetic flux which is known to emanate from this coil produces optimized flux guidance.
The invention has been described in detail with particular reference to preferred embodiments thereof and examples, but it will be understood that variations and modifications can be effected within the spirit and scope of the invention.

Recipe by KITTY1960
"A traditional holiday favorite in my family, this creamed pearl onion recipe is a surprising treat to the palate. Chopped dry roasted peanuts mingle with the cream sauce and onions, while the bread crumb topping gives it a nice bit of added texture. My sister used to bake this at every holiday meal she hosted, and since we've lost her, it has a special meaning :)."

I LOVED this recipe! I used it at a special dinner last year and it got rave reviews. I lost my printed copy and I was afraid I wouldn't find it again, but here it is! I strongly recommend it. :)
I liked it, my husband hated it. I would have preferred the pearl onions to be more tender - maybe I didn't cook it long enough. Hubby would like to try it without peanuts and cheese on top. I'll report back how it goes!

The black EOS M Mirrorless Digital Camera Kit with 22mm f/2 Lens and 90EX Flash from Canon combines the EOS M mirrorless digital camera with a wide-angle prime lens and the Speedlite 90EX flash unit. The flash's compact size and lightweight design are well-matched to the EOS M and the guide number of 30' at ISO 100 and optical wireless master function make it a versatile tool for rounding out the imaging abilities of the camera.
The EOS M features an APS-C-sized 18 megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 image processor to produce high resolution still imagery and Full HD 1080p video at 30 fps with notable low-light sensitivity to an expandable ISO of 25600. A 3.0" 1,040k-dot LCD monitor is integrated into the design and features a touchscreen interface for intuitive navigation of menus and playback options as well as precise control over focus points by using the Touch AF function. Hybrid CMOS AF is also available, which combines both phase- and contrast-detection methods of focusing to provide fast and accurate performance when working in live view. While recording movies, the Movie Servo AF mode can be employed for continuous focusing abilities that pairs well with the included EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens and its stepping motor for smoother, quieter focus performance. The EOS M also integrates a host of camera settings and modes, such as Scene Intelligent Auto, Handheld Night Scene Mode, and HDR Backlight Control.
The EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens provides the 35mm focal length equivalent of a 35mm wide-angle lens, ideal for versatile, everyday shooting. Its maximum aperture of f/2 is effective in low light and creates a shallow depth of field and its minimum focus distance is only 5.9". The above mentioned stepping motor offers smooth, accurate and quiet autofocus and an aspherical lens element reduces aberrations for clear, high resolution imaging. Its compact, lightweight form factor matches well with the build of the EOS M digital camera.
- Sensor and Image Processor
- High resolution 18.0 MP CMOS APS-C (1.6x crop factor) sensor and high performance DIGIC 5 image processor equal fast functional response, exceptional image quality and sharp detail in both photo and video.
- Full HD (1080p) Movie
- The EOS-M offers Full HD (1080p) Movie mode with Movie Servo AF for continuous focus tracking of moving subjects, manual exposure control, multiple resolution and frame rates, built-in stereo microphone with a wind filter, manual audio level adjustment, and Video Snapshot with editing. Combined with STM lenses, such as the included 22mm f/2 STM lens, the Movie Servo AF provides smooth, silent auto-focus function, a great benefit when shooting video. The camera automatically splits files larger than 4GB for extended, uninterrupted recording and offers a jack for compatible external microphones. The file format for shooting video on the EOS-M is MOV with H.264 compression standard. Video can be recorded in Full HD, HD and SD and at Full HD the possible frames rates are 30, 24 and 25 frames per second. Auto exposure and manual exposure control are both possible on video as well as photo capture.
- ISO Sensitivity
- Normal ISO sensitivity on the EOS-M ranges from 100-12800 but expands in High Sensitivity Mode to 25600 for faster shutter speeds and sharper details in low light.
- Hybrid CMOS Auto-focus
- Hybrid CMOS AF uses a combination of both Contrast AF, which utilizes the CMOS sensor, and Phase Difference Auto-focus to increase accuracy and auto-focus speed in both photo and video.
- Touch Screen LCD with Touch AF
- Thanks to a new construction between the its resin-coated cover and the liquid crystal display, the 3.0" Clear View LCD monitor keeps glare to a minimum and makes it easy to see your images even in bright light. The 1,040,000-dot resolution is ideal for playback and focusing and the smudge-resistant coating on the LCD preserves the luminosity after multiple touches. Numerous camera operations can be handled by the touch screen including Auto-focus control, whereby you touch the LCD screen on the part of the image you want in focus. Two-finger (multi-touch) control allows you to zoom, scroll images and navigate the menus as you would with a smartphone.
- Lens Compatibility
- At this point, Canon has introduced two M series lenses including the 22mm f/2 STM lens that is included in this kit, but the EF-M mount on the EOS-M camera is able to use any of the huge family of Canon EF and EF-S lenses. The EF-EOS Mount Adapter will be necessary, but this opens up the EOS-M's range of creative possibilities to... endless!
- Noise Reduction
- Multi Shot Noise Reduction provides outstanding noise reduction while preserving fine detail in photos at high ISO speeds. With MSNR activated, the camera takes four consecutive shots of the same image, then merges and aligns them, reducing noise and blur.
- Continuous Shooting and Burst Rate
- For still photography, the EOS-M can shoot up to 4.3 frames per second for up to 15 shots utilizing an SD card in JPEG. With a UHS-I card that number lifts to 17 shots at 4.3 fps. For video, the continuous shooting time in Full HD based on a 16GB memory card is 44 minutes.
- Advanced Imaging Features
- Handheld Night Scene and High Dynamic Range are assistive functions that allow all levels of photographers to take advantage of digital advancements to improve their shooting results. HDR, for example, shoots three images of the exact same image simultaneously in various exposures and combines the three into one perfectly balanced photo. This is ideal when shooting images that have both shadow and bright light and those whose subject is lit from behind. The EOS-M also offers seven Creative Filters to enhance your images, including Toy Camera Effect and Art Bold Effect, which makes your photo look like an oil painting.
- Scene Intelligent Auto Mode
- Scene Intelligent Auto mode optimizes all of the camera's auto controls to provide the best settings based on the camera's reading of the scene. You compose the shot, the camera does the rest.
- Recording
- The EOS M Mirrorless Digital Camera uses popular SD, SDHC, SDXC memory cards and is even compatible with the newest Ultra High Speed (UHS-I) memory cards.
- Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM Lens
- This EOS-M kit comes with the 22mm f/2 STM lens. It is a moderate wide-angle prime lens equivalent to a 35mm lens in the 35mm format. It is ultra-slim, befitting the mirrorless camera's form and lightweight. The f/2 aperture means fast shutter speeds are possible even in low light conditions and the minimum focusing distance is 5.9" (O.15m). It houses one aspheric lens element and a 7-blade circular aperture which can deliver beautiful bokeh. It is an STM lens which stands for stepping motor and provides a smooth, silent autofocus when used with the EOS-M's Movie Servo AF. Silent auto-focus is particularly useful when shooting video so that the sound of the AF does not interfere with the audio you are recording.
- Speedlite 90EX Flash Unit
- The Speedlite 90EX combines powerful lighting (Guide No.: 30'/9m at ISO 100) with a compact, lightweight design (1.8 oz/51 g), making it ideal for the Canon EOS M Digital Camera. With many features directly accessed through the camera's menu system, the Speedlite 90EX offers easy and intuitive operation. It can control multiple flash units for advanced, creative lighting effects. The Speedlite 90EX also features a standard Canon EOS hot shoe mount for compatibility with all EOS SLRs.

Things I liked:Fit and finish are excellent. The locking clamps are adjustable for tightness via allen head screws, which apparently some reviewers missed. The display is bright and clear. The red and green dots are adjustable and I ran it at the lowest setting. Clearly well thought out and well engineered.
Things I would have changed:I would like to have this device with a 40mm tube. I like it just fine as is but I would pay more to get a 40mm tube and this same form factor and design.
What others should know:The reviews for this device do not do it justice. The instructions for the device are very small print and I think some folks just did not understand how it works.
Things I liked:Easy setup
Things I would have changed:The locking switches are not so tight
What others should know:My green does not stay on.
Things I liked:Compact size; looks really cool on air pistols - provided you change the mount; green dot make the sight more versatile in different lighting situations.
Things I would have changed:Dot is more of an ellipse than a round dot and is very fuzzy; quick detach mount is large and bulky; Windage and Elevation adjustment knobs are very difficult to turn, direction stickers fall right off; Parallax error is unacceptable (see below)
What others should know:The parallax error of this site is horrendous -- dot moves more than 1 inch from center at 5 yards whenever you move your head from the centerline of the sight!!

This is a repeat of a post from 18 months back:
A pernicious feature of current attacks on science is the promulgation of the idea that scientific knowledge is 'just a belief.' That it has no more validity than any other belief. That non-scientific beliefs should be given the same status or legitimacy as scientific theory.
This idea is promulgated by 'secular' new age, post-modernist and similar ideologies. It is also promoted by some religious groups advancing creationist ideas. For an example of the latter have a look at the documentary video 'In Good Faith' showing a 'science lesson' at the Australian Pacific Hills Christian School (see also Teaching science in faith schools). In this 'lesson' students were offered a range of beliefs about biology and told they should consider them and choose which best fitted their religious views.
Not just a belief
But science is not about belief — it's about evidence, reason and theories which well summarize knowledge. Scientific knowledge is never settled — it changes as new evidence comes to hand. In contrast beliefs are often set in stone. Often beliefs are just dogma without any evidential support. They survive new discoveries because they are immune to them.
The real power of scientific knowledge lies in its evidential support and the resulting ability to change, to update. Our modern society and technology could not have been built on dogma, on just belief. Nor can modern society have any hope of the solving the problems we face by reliance on belief.
Those diverse groups who oppose scientific knowledge have the same aim — to replace that knowledge and the powerful scientific method with dogma. With 'just a belief.' This is true of US creationists campaigning to 'teach the controversy' and 'teach the strengths and weakness.' This is the motive behind the 'academic freedom' legislation campaigns. All this is aimed at giving religious belief and dogma the same status in the science class as scientific knowledge.
It is also true of 'new age', 'post-modernist' 'alternative health' and similar secular movements. Although in these case the motives are often commercial.
