In the garden
Planting perennials
Fall is the time to plant perennials including herbs. Because some favorites like basil and parsley are annuals planted in the spring, it's easy to forget that many herbs can be planted in the fall and enjoyed until Thanksgiving, or if the weather is mild like last year, all winter long. And herbs can always be planted in pots and brought inside.
"Now is a very good time to get perennial herbs in the ground," says Nicole Schermerhorn, co-owner of A Thyme to Plant at Lavender Fields Herb Farm. "It's cool enough that you want to be outside working in your garden, but still warm enough for the herbs."
"Typically we're also getting enough rain at this time of the year," adds Schermerhorn, "and you're home from vacation now so you can take care of your herbs and begin using them."
Hardy perennials to plant now include rosemary, sage, thyme, chives, fennel, mints, and parsley. The fennel and the mint will die back over the winter but come back in the spring.
"Planting now allows the herbs to establish roots over the winter," says Schermerhorn. "They'll flush out new growth in the spring."
Herbs can be planted in dedicated herb gardens, mixed with vegetables, or added to flower beds and borders. Their various textures and colors can be very attractive, and many people enjoy putting fragrant herbs along walks or driveways where they can easily be touched to release their scents. Culinary herbs should be planted near your kitchen so that harvesting them is easy and convenient. You'll use them more often.
In choosing a site, remember that most herbs require full sun, from 4 to 6 hours a day minimum, good drainage, and good air circulation. Good drainage is so important that Schermerhorn recommends planting herbs in raised beds.
"Clay soil," she says, "does not provide good drainage." She recommends a planting medium of one-third organic matter such as compost, one-third topsoil, and one-third builders' sand.
"Make sure it's builders' sand," says Schermerhorn. "It won't compact like play sand so it adds drainage."
Don't mulch herbs. "We put a handful of organic compost around our plants to dress them up and improve the soil," says Schermerhorn.
"Herbs do not like wet feet, and all mulch does in winter is keep their feet wet."
In fact, most herbs are considered drought-tolerant, though some moisture is needed during dry spells to keep the plants growing. In general, annuals require more moisture than perennials.
Herbs also don't require much fertilizer. Over-fertilizing an herb can produce growth that is too rapid, making the plant more susceptible to disease or insect problems and diluting the concentration of essential oils that produce the taste in culinary herbs. Herbs in pots are the exception. They should be lightly fertilized once a month during their growing season.
Using your herbs is important to keeping them healthy. Evergreen herbs can be cut and enjoyed in recipes or vases all winter.
"Herbs are designed to be used," says Schermerhorn. "Cutting them encourages new growth, so keep using your herbs."

A controversial bill that would make it a felony for anyone to enforce federal gun regulations in the state has drawn mixed reactions in Summit County. H.B. 114, The Second Amendment Preservation Act, sponsored by Brian Green, R-Pleasant Grove, received its first reading in the House Rules Committee on Wednesday.
But, while he is skeptical about some of the Obama administration's new gun control proposals, Roger Armstrong, a cofounder of the Park City Gun Club and newly elected member of the Summit County Council, says the proposed bill goes too far.
The Park City Gun Club has seen a "huge" surge in sales of guns and ammunitions, as well as in training classes, since President Barack Obama was elected and again after the Connecticut school shooting, according to Armstrong.
"And it's not just us," he said. "Our main distributors are sold out as well. It's very difficult to replenish our supply of firearms because of the lack of supplies in the system. And it's not just guns; it's ammunition, as well."
As a gun dealer, sales at the Gun Club are already tightly regulated, he said.
If someone wants to purchase a gun from the Gun Club, they are required to fill out a document with personal information. The document is faxed to the Utah Bureau of Criminal Identification, which determines if the individual is allowed to purchase a gun.
"But right now, that law just applies to gun owners and gun dealers," Armstrong said. "In a private party transaction, you are not obligated to do the same thing.
While it is illegal for that individual to sell to someone who cannot own a gun, they won't necessarily have the ability to check whether the buyer can or not.
"So if everyone had to go through the same process as a gun dealer, it would close that loophole to some degree," he said.
However, Armstrong said, there are many pieces to the puzzle.
"Sadly, whenever you have a tragedy of that magnitude, psychologically people want two things: first, they want to know why it happened," he said. "They want some explanation for it, because we don't like randomness and tragedy. We need to understand it so we can manage it and avoid it from happening again."
Second: people want to fix the problem, he said.
"They start reaching for the means to fix it, and sometimes it goes too far," he added. "Sometimes bad things happen. That doesn't mean we shouldn't enact laws that actually do address the problem, but I think we need to use some care in doing that. If the notion is that the gun control proposals will fix the problem, and that if those are imposed we'll never have a massacre like the one in Connecticut again, that's probably not the case."
Armstrong argues that H.B. 114 is probably unconstitutional because it would violate the Constitution's supremacy clause.
Kathy Meyer, cofounder of the newly organized group, Summit County Voters for Sensible Gun Legislation, called the bill "a waste of time."
"It's posturing," she said. "It's preempting what might or might not happen with gun legislation from the federal government. If the federal government passed a ban on assault weapons and we say we're not going to enforce it, to me, that's radical. And it doesn't make me feel safe. I think it says to people that they are above the law. I think it gives the wrong message. Where the rest of the nation is moving forward on this issue and trying to close loopholes, we're moving backwards."
Meyer also argued that the bill reflects negatively on Utah.
"It's not good economically for Utah to be in the news like this about taking such a radical stance when we're such a tourist place," she said. "I think our state legislators should be spending time on things like education, cleaning up the air and things that matter now."
Meyer recently started the group to disseminate information concerning local, state and national gun control issues.
"But it's not telling people where to stand. We have Republicans, Democrats and Independents. We're not a political group and we don't want to be," she said.
Residents interested in joining Summit County Voters for Sensible Gun Legislation are invited to email firstname.lastname@example.com .

Okay, there are now gas operated AR's (be they DI or piston-powered). Several enterprising gents have built pistol caliber AK's. How about a .45acp or 7.62 TOK AK whose bolt locks up (edit: found a TOK conversion http://www.gunco.net/forums/showthre...t=27382&page=3 ) ? Such a beast could use standard receivers and carriers, with modified bolts and such (i.e. easier for those of us who are more-or-less technically challenged).
I'll take mine in pistol form, please.
In a related vein... would Rhino_66's M11 magwell be legal in a pistol version (I have one in my parts box)? It is not a vertical foregrip, nor does it utilize a detachable magazine installed outside the pistol grip (ATF-speak).

Rated 4.3 out of 5 by 28 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by Parunika Sturdy -Stylish - Sensible I love my Hako cabinet. 4 moves & 3+ years later - it still looks magnificent. I like lattice patten on the cabinet doors, which make the media cabinet look less bulky while obscuring all the things that have been tucked away. The cabinet was easy to assemble - the hinging of cabinet doors can be a bit tricky though. November 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Tidbitr Beautiful piece! Although I didn't personally assemble this media cabinet myself, it took less than 20 min to get it together. I had already seen the unit at the store and knew that it was the design and color that I wanted for my living space. I have a 55" flat screen mounted above it and it adds to the look I am after in that room. It looks worth more than what I paid for it! I've had friends rave about it! SO happy with my purchase. Of course, I've been happy with EVERYTHING that I get from World Market! I love that place! February 25, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by LovesShopping Hard to assemble, the doors were tricky… but beautiful! Great Stand, looks much more expensive that it is. The wood quality explains the price, but it just looks great! You need help assembling it... It is a complex piece, but worth it! My advice is be careful putting the doors in place... They snap in... and there is a screw opening right before the correct area to get them in. February 19, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kat47 This looks great! Great value! I purchased this Media Stand for our new house. On a shoestring budget, this piece looks great! It was easy to put together and I am very happy with my purchase! February 2, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Trixie I love this piece of furniture! I knew this was the stand I wanted when upgrading the size of my TV. I couldn't be happier. Best to have two people available for assembly but the instructions were clear and easy. September 5, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by lamart40 TV Stand is stunning I searched for a while before finding this TV stand at World Market. It arrived in a timely way and was very easy to put together. I am a 40-something mom and was able to completely assemble it myself. It looks fabulous! The real wood is sturdy and strong. I like the dark wood too and it looks great in our new living room! Great value for the price. May 12, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by crazymomma LOVE IT! Purchased this after hubby decided we needed a 60" tv. I love the Asian design, and it's large enough to accommodate all of our electronics inside the cabinet. Also, because the doors aren't solid wood it is possible to operate the remotes without having the doors open, which is one of my favorite features! I have pets who would otherwise get inside the cabinets and chew the wires. I don't have to worry about that anymore! It is beautiful and functional, and a great value! February 3, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by Sassy pink Hako I love it we have our 72 inch dlp on it and it fits perfectly... June 13, 2012

Settling Cases Before Trial
When most people think about what a court does, they think about jury trials. In fact, of the thousands of lawsuits filed in California courts each year, most cases settle without a trial.
When people cannot work out agreements on their own, they can consider working with someone who is specially trained to help them explore settlement options or to make decisions about how they will resolve their dispute. These alternatives to litigation are known as Alternative Dispute Resolution or ADR.
The ADR choices available through the Contra Costa County Court include:
The California Courts provides short videos showing each ADR process.
People can consider using Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) either before or after a lawsuit has been filed.
There are alternatives available for use before filing a case. You can find private mediators and arbitrators listed in the telephone directory, or you can do a search on the Internet. Try entering "Mediator" and your City and State. You will find mediators serving your area. There are also non-profit dispute resolution agencies, often with sliding scale fees, that will handle neighborhood, landlord tenant, consumer complaints, and a whole array of conflicts.
Using ADR AFTER a court case has been filed:
The person who starts the court case will be given a Plaintiff's packet. This packet contains several forms. Among these forms are:

Reading level is key
Published: Saturday, May 4, 2013 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 3, 2013 at 12:12 p.m.
Editor: I had to respond to the letter regarding the Jacket Academy at LSHS. I wonder not what the infractions of these students are, but what their reading levels are. I, too, ran a similar program. I did, however, try to let them have lunch at a table with me in the cafeteria to see what they were missing . Misbehave, and that privilege was lost again.
Life is about choices. I taught all subjects, never having more than 10 at a time in individual cubicles. The students were in grades six to eight with reading levels of first grade to fourth grade. No wonder they were angry and caused trouble in math, science and English. They couldn't read it and couldn't answer when called on, so why not disrupt the class?
Teachers were asked to send work from regular classes. The goal was to assimilate back into a regular classroom. Some did. Some met EOG test goals. I do not think any of this would have happened if they had not been in the controlled environment we all were in in elementary school where we were allowed the chance to concentrate without distraction and learn to read.
Those 10, even with the baggage some still had at home, had a safe place with me. The regular classroom work was broken down to a level they understood, and grade levels in reading improved by leaps and bounds; so did attitudes.
I had failures, don't get me wrong, but I also had students straight out of Jackson Correctional graduate from high school. This freedom Ms. (Bisceglia) Ellis speaks of is hopefully being protected for her child and will keep him/her out of the judicial system if they pick up better learning skills in a controlled environment for a short period of time.
I strongly believe in this method, not to protect other students but to help these students improve their reading skills so their lives can actually be turned around. Their "temporary incarceration" could avoid permanent incarceration. Reading is life's key to freedom.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
A nebulizer is a type of inhaler that sprays a fine, liquid mist of medication. This is done through a mask, using oxygen or air under pressure, or an ultrasonic machine (often used by persons who cannot use a metered-dose inhaler, such as infants and young children, and persons with severe asthma). A mouthpiece is connected to a machine via plastic tubing to deliver the medication.
The medications used in nebulizers help your child by loosening the mucus in the lungs so it can be coughed out more easily, and by relaxing the airway muscles so that more air can move in and out of the lungs. Breathing the medication straight into the lungs works better and faster than taking the medication by mouth. Nebulizer treatments take about 15 to 20 minutes to give the medication.
The following steps are recommended when giving a treatment to your child. However, always consult your child's physician for specific instructions.

Olympus Announces PEN E-P5 Micro Four-Thirds Body
Olympus today announced a very retro looking addition to its PEN lineup, the E-P5. While many of us thought the original Olympus PEN E-P1 styling harkened to the company's half-frame PEN cameras, the E-P5 does it one better. An all metal casing contains a number of upgraded features:
- 16MP MOS Four Thirds sensor
- Dual top plate control dials with a "2×2" function changing option
- 1/8000 sec top shutter speed (first in a mirrorless body) and 1/320 sec flash sync
- '5-axis' image stabilization with automatic panning detection
- Up to 9fps shooting (5.0 fps with continuous AF)
- Focus 'peaking' display for manual focus lenses
- Intervalometer and Time Lapse movie creation
- 1.04m dot 3″ LCD touchscreen display
- Built-in Wi-Fi for remote shooting and image transfer to smartphone or tablet
After a short hands-on experience with the camera, the dual control dials, focus peaking, 9fps, and remote shooting/wifi features jump out as being the most interesting. But there is no denying that Olympus has done a good job overall with the E-P5. Just on style alone, it should find its way into many a camera bag. But the added features and improved specs should give even the popular OM-D E-M5 a run for its money.
The Olympus PEN E-P5 will be available in May 2013 in the following configurations:
Body only, available in Black, Silver or White, $999.99
Black or Silver body with black M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 17mm f1.8 lens and VF-4 Electronic Viewfinder lens, $1449.99

EMU Alum Kratz Hitting Everything But "Rock-Bottom"
Erik Kratz doesn't like the phrase, "rock-bottom." He finds it demoralizing – even morbid – and it implies that, as he put it, that he's been "down and out." But he's never truly felt that way. Not even through 10 years of toiling in the minor leagues, often getting told – either through speech or through his lack of movement up the ladder – that he wasn't good enough. H ...More

There is 100% agreement that we all need to have weapons to protect ourselves in the event of unrest or collapse, and that we need to stockpile food and water. But how many of you garden or raise lifestock?
My wife and I have gardened for a few years now. So far we have eaten our produce as it ripened and frozen tomatoes, peppers, shredded zucchini (for zucchini bread and muffins), as well as blueberries and strawberries. Yes I know the weak link is freezing and we recognize that fact and will ty our had at canning next year. We dry store onions and potatoes.
We are also looking at raising chickens and cattle for beef next year. We have a 10 acre field that is perfect for pasture.
So tell me what you do in this regard...

Rated 5 out of 5 by Annette902 Pleasant Surprise! Before my granddaughter moved from New York to Florida, we often went to Indian restaurants where her favorite dinner was Rogan Josh. When I saw this on World Market advertisement, I had to send it to her. She was surprised and absolutely delighted with the authenticity of the favors. Loved it! July 31, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by michnhal Flavorful My husband and I really enjoy Indian cuisine, and Rogan Josh is among our favorite dishes. We've tried several different brands of jarred sauce, and so far, Patak has been the best. While not as rich as freshly prepared sauce, this has a lot of flavor. There's a bit of a kick to it, but not so much that a person who prefers their dishes on the milder side wouldn't like it. Someone who leans more toward the medium-hot to hot end of the spectrum might want to add a bit of hot curry powder to suit their taste. The makers of this sauce obviously care a lot about creating an authentic flavor that will appeal to a wide variety of palates. I think they have succeeded. April 6, 2014

Dysfunction never looked so decadent as in this Aussie drama about a dying matriarch—the sublime Charlotte Rampling—and her circling acolytes (greedy children and devious employees). The impeccable Judy Davis, below left with Rampling, and Geoffrey Rush play damaged siblings who care more about their possible inheritance than family ties. Rampling presides over the movie's stellar cast like an imperious grande dame de théâtre.

EUGENE, Ore.- Representatives from eight different sports at the University of Oregon will team up with the organization Courts for Kids to build a sports court in Los Cerros, Dominican Republic, June 15-23.
Student-athletes from the football, lacrosse, men's golf, women's track and field, men's tennis, acrobatics and tumbling, softball and soccer teams will have the opportunity to serve as cultural ambassadors not only representing Oregon, but the United States in building a sports court that at its completion will be the site of a mini-camp put on by the student-athletes.
Los Cerros is part of the rural town of Don Juan, located two hours north of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. With a population of around 1,000, the members of the Los Cerros community will also share the courts with the youth of Batey Vermejo.
The 15 student-athletes will have the chance to experience a different culture and interact with a population who possess different values and norms, and providing the University representatives the chance to grow and learn in the process.
The student-athletes will travel with four staff members from the athletic department.

Work Study For Students
Understanding the Federal Work-Study (FWS) Program
FWS is a federally funded program that provides subsidized part-time employment opportunities for students with financial need. Students must apply for financial aid and receive a Federal Work-Study (FWS) award from the Office of Student Financial Aid in order to work under this program.
In order to be eligible for FWS, students must be enrolled at least halftime and have documented financial need. FWS funds are restricted to students who are either citizens or permanent residents of the United States. International students with an F-1 or J-1 Visa are not eligible for FWS funds, but are eligible to work on-campus in regular departmental student positions.
Financial need is calculated and based on the information students submit on the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) FWS is offered as part of their total financial aid package. The FWS earning limit for each student is based upon his/her federal work-study award total.
Students who demonstrate financial need are awarded FWS funds on a first-come, first-served basis until funds are exhausted. Therefore, it is very important for students to be aware of and adhere to application priority dates. Students who file for financial aid too late in the year may not receive a FWS award due to lack of funding, regardless of whether they had FWS in the past, have financial need, or have a specific FWS job arranged. To receive maximum consideration for a FWS award, students should file the Free Application For Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) in January.
Students who are offered a FWS award must accept or decline the award in their BANNER account.

ZF-5741: Create the log file only if there is something to log
When you initialize the logger in the bootstrap file, for every request a log file will automatically be created if it doesn't exist, even when you do not plan to log.
I suggest to create the logfile only the first time something has to be logged.
Example: $logger = new Zend_Log(); $writer = new Zend_Log_Writer_Stream($path . "logfile-" . date("Ymd-H") . ".log"); $logger->addWriter($writer); I create a logfile per hour. If there is nothing to log for a specific day, this will create 24 empty logfiles, because the logfile is created in the constructor of Zend_Log_Writer_Stream.
mmm I see. You can use a different stream opening mode in the second parameter of Zend_Log_Writer_Stream constructor. By default, 'a' is used, which effectively tries to create the file if it doesn't exist.
Anyway, your problem seems deeper as you want to create it if it doesn't exist only while the first writting operation.
If Zend_Log whould be given such a behavior then it has to be patched deeper.
There's also a usability issue here. An empty log file indicates that Zend_Log is working and logging where you expect it to log, but there were no events to log. If we implement this, it would have to be an option that is off by default IMO.
Agreed with Wil. I cannot see how this is btw a major improvement, setting straight.
I do not see the need for this. If you do not plan to log, there is no need to instantiate the log object.
Lazy loading the log object will solve the problem of generating empty log files.
Patch contains: - Adjustments to Zend_Log_Writer_Stream to allow lazy opening - Unit tests for Lazy opening - Documentation for factory and class about lazy opening
Goran Juric @ If you do not plan to log, there is no need to instantiate the log object.
You may want to log for errors; if no errors occur, in the example above a log file will be created every hour wether there is something to log or not.
@Michael Rehbein
Will the patch be included in the framework ?

LPD stands out
Published: Wednesday, December 5, 2012 at 12:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, December 4, 2012 at 5:10 p.m.
Editor: The City of Lexington and its residents are very fortunate to have a very capable and professional police department. This is because of dedicated officers and an effective leadership team. There have been many people over the years that have made this possible, but let me highlight two members of this leadership team.
John Lollis has been a good chief who knows about law enforcement and took a common sense approach to problems and issues. He has had many roles and responsibilities, which he has handled well. His leadership toward the 40 percent reduction in major crime in Lexington is a prime example of his work.
Tad Kepley comes from a law enforcement family and also has done a remarkable job of handling matters in his many roles at the department. He is a quiet and unassuming leader who demands results. He is a natural pick and a good selection for LPD's new chief.
I know these things from the partnership Lexington Police Department has with neighboring law enforcement agencies. I also know this from my 36 years working in law enforcement in Davidson and Guilford counties. LPD is a good department. It has a solid reputation of professionalism and service.
Congratulations to Chief John Lollis on his retirement and service to the citizens of Lexington. Congratulations to Chief Tad Kepley on his appointment as Lexington's top officer. The City of Lexington (and my hometown) is in capable hands. The Lexington Police Department should continue its tradition of providing quality police service and professionalism to its citizens.

Wildlife Photography Equipment
Canon EF 600mm f/4L IS USM
This is an outstanding professional super telephoto lens for bridging distances in sports, wildlife, and many other applications. Fluorite and UD glass are combined for incredible image quality, even wide-open. Image Stabilization adds a new dimension in this long lens' usefulness, even in marginal lighting. It works beautifully with both 1.4x and 2x extenders, and focuses as close as 18 feet. It has the same weather-resistant gaskets, sealed focusing, and focus pre-set rings as Canon's other Image Stabilized super telephoto lenses.
Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM
The first EF lens with a zoom range from 100mm to 400mm, the EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM lens offers high resolution, superb contrast, neutral color balance, and Canon's original built-in Image Stabilizer function. Fluorite and Super UD glass completely eliminate secondary spectrum for superb color rendition. Autofocusing is fast and silent with Canon's ring USM, and AF speed is further enhanced through an advanced, lightweight rear focusing design that incorporates a floating element for consistent image quality at all focusing distances from 5.9' to infinity. This telephoto lens is also equipped with a dual-mode Image Stabilizer suitable for panning as well as stationary subjects. With full-time manual focus, one-touch zooming with a wide grip, and a special ring that permits adjustment of zooming friction, this is a lens that's extremely easy to use, and ideal for a wide variety of applications including nature, wildlife, sports, and documentary photography.
Canon 6D Body
The 6D is the new entry into the full-frame DSLR from Canon. Featuring a stunning 20.2 Megapixel CMOS sensor and the new DIGIC 5+ Image Processor, this makes the perfect entry into the DSLR market for a full-frame camera. The high ISO range (maxing out at 25600) gives this camera an edge in low light situations. Also featured is the built in Wi-Fi capabilities which allow you to wirelessly transfer your shots with an iOS or Android phone.
Canon 7D Body
The 7D combines high frame-rates (up to 8fps), high resolution (18 megapixels) and the ability to shoot full HD 1080p video. This camera is so high resolution that many corporations use the 7D to shoot their commercial video work over the 5D Mark II. It sports a 100% viewfinder, the ability to shoot video at both 24p and 60p, and is an excellent all-around camera for any type of photography.
Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro USM
The new EF 100mm f/2.8L IS Macro is significantly ahead of its predecessor in build quality, features, and optics. The old non-L 100mm Macro is a superb lens in its own right, but the addition of a weather-sealed (with the appropriate camera body) construction, better optics, a 9-blade rounded iris for smooth, creamy, butter bokeh (background blur) and Canon's new Hybrid IS make this lens one of the finest in its lineup. The Hybrid IS alone is an impressive additon; it adds up to 4 stops of image stabilization, producing acceptably sharp images at shutter speeds as low as 1/10 of a second. In addition, this is a true 1:1 macro lens, which means it can reproduce items at life-size magnification. The 100mm focal length also makes it an ideal portrait lens, something that the Image Stabilization goes a long way towards helping.
Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro
A unique lens exclusively for use in the macro realm, this lens can fill a 35mm frame with an object as miniscule as a grain of rice! Floating internal lens elements keep the resolution sharp throughout the range of focus. The lens also has an element of ultra-low dispersion glass. For macro shooters with a desire to document the diminutive, this lens is a quantum in ease-of-use compared to previous solutions involving bellows. The depth of field with this lens is razor thin and it takes absolutely amazing shots.
Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Ringlite Flash
The Canon MT-24EX Macro Twin Ringlite Flash is a ringlight flash for Canon that helps freeze action and increase detail when shooting with macro lenses. Since you often times need to shoot at very small apertures (f/16-f/22) having a flood of light to throw at the scene helps tremendously in your effort to capture, sharp, detailed images. The unit employs Canon's E-TTL, and the twin flashes fire at even power, or can be varied over a eight-stop range for dramatic directional lighting. The controller unit has an illuminated, informative LCD panel.
GigaPan EPIC Pro for DLSR Cameras
Learn how to capture phenomenal depth and clarity in multi-gigapixel panoramas with the remarkable EPIC Pro. Strong enough to hold a camera and lens combination of up to 10 lbs., EPIC Pro will take hundreds, even thousands of detailed individual photos for one intricate gigapan. With the new GigaPan Stitch software, these photos are efficiently combined into a seamless panorama.
StackShot Automated Focusing Rail
StackShot is an electronically controlled macro-rail that coordinates the movement of the rail and the triggering of the camera. StackShot's simple user-interface automates the entire image capturing process.
Gitzo Systematic Carbon Fiber Tripod
Gitzo Systematic tripods are the strongest and most stable tripods available in the market and offer unsurpassed flexibility of use. These tripods are a unique modular system that can be quickly transformed into different configurations. Our Systematic tripod is made of 6X carbon fibre to be strong but lightweight.
Wimberley Head Version II
The Wimberley Head is a specialized tripod head for telephoto lenses. Its gimbal-type design allows you to rotate your lens around its center of gravity and thus easily manipulate very large lenses. Since its introduction in 1991, the Wimberley Head has become the industry standard for serious nature photographers.
