Manfrotto or Gitzo, or just a new head?
Thanks to BJ, I have been visiting the Robert White photography website quite a bit lately, and I am getting the itch to purchase a new tripod, or a new head for my existing Bogen. Therefore, I thought I would ask the Tripod experts for some advice.
First, I do (when I have the time) hike quite a bit with the tripod either on a tripod strap, or attached to a backpack (most of the time on a strap with my photo gear in a LowePro Off Trail 2 belt pack).
I currently own a six-year-old Bogen 3221 aluminum tripod with a 3047 Pan-Tilt Head.
Equipment used on the tripod can be either an F5 or F100, and most likely the heaviest combination of body plus lens would be the AF-S 80-200 F/2.8 with the TC 20E-II, which weights out at approximately 7 lbs, 6 oz.
Currently, I am looking at the following tripod head or tripod head combinations:
Keep my Bogen 3221 and purchase a 3038 Manfrotto Pan Head. (Reason for the head change is the handles on the 3047 keep banging my head when I have it strapped to a backpack, the 3038 does not have this problem.) Weight with existing head is 10 lbs; weight with 3038 would be 9 lbs, 3 oz.
Tripod/Head Options:
Manfrotto 3443 (441) Carbon Fiber w/Manfrotto Pan Head 3055 (168), weight 5 lbs, 11 oz. (Price: Robert White $431.40 including shipping and duty, B&H $469.00 plus shipping.) The tripod legs will support 13.3 lbs, the 3038 head weighs 3.7 lbs; therefore, there is about a 3 lbs safety factor in this combination with the combination of camera equipment I normally use.
(NOTE: The sales person at Robert White made a point about my original combination I priced; the 3443 with a 3038 head. The point was the head was heavier than the tripod, and this might make it top heavy. Maybe I am missing something, but almost any tripod/head combination will be top heavy since the tripod weight is spread out over many inches, while the head's weight is spread out over only about 5-6 inches, also, with the camera/lens mounted, it will really be top heavy. Any thoughts on this?
Gitzo 1227 Carbon Fiber w/Gitzo 1276M head, weight 4 lbs, 8 oz. (Price: Robert White $533.38 including shipping and duty, B&H $813.00 plus shipping)
The tripod legs will support 17.5 lbs, the head weighs 1.25 lbs; therefore, there is about a 9 lbs safety factor.
Gitzo 1227 Carbon Fiber w/Gitzo 1376M, weight 5 lbs, 4 oz. (Price: Robert White $557.25 including shipping and duty, B&H $875.00 plus shipping) (Not being that familiar with Gitzo, I'm not sure if this combination will work, I have written Gitzo to clarify if a 1376M head will attach to the 1227 tripod. However, I prefer the larger quick release platform size than that on the 1276M.) Since this head weights 2 lbs, there is about an 8 lb safety factor.
I also have another question for Gitzo owners, and that pertains to the rotational weight of a large camera with a heavy lens when used in the vertical position. When using my 3047 with either of my camera bodies and a large lens such as the 28-70 AF-S Nikkor, in the vertical position, the weight of the lens would force the camera body to swivel on the quick release plate. This causes the lens to start dropping down, towards the front. The problem was the cork on the quick release plate would loose adhesion with the metal, and allow the combination to creep downwards. I was able to stop this by purchasing the Manfrotto QR plates with the angled piece of metal that butted up against the front of the camera body and preventing the body from rotating. Never having used a Gitzo, I was wondering if anyone has ever experienced this, and if so, how would you prevent this on a Gitzo; they do not sell a QR plate similar to the Manfrotto with the angled piece of metal.
Sorry for the long post (I am bored ); however, I am seriously considering one of these tripod/head combinations or a new head. Just not too sure, and wanted some help from my fellow Nikonians.
Thanks in advance; now, everyone put on their thinking caps.

I hope I can convince you of the merits of a ballhead for a lightweight tripod. I agree with the Robert White guy. Keep in mind that the 441 (that I used to own) stands pretty narrow at its highest leg angle detent. Add a heavy 3-way head and use it with the load off-center for a vertical shot, and you have a poor platform to work from.
I really liked the 441, my only real complaint was the narrow stance. A low profile ballhead is a much better match for this tripod.
As long as you've considered Gitzo ballheads, I have to say I hate their offset style head. The very most stable configuration is to have the ball, platform and camera mass at the center of the tripod. The offset platform can't do this in any configuration. Even if the mass of the camera and lens are centered, the ball is loaded from the side. My first ballhead was an offset Gitzo and I'm glad it's history.
Fortunately, Gitzo now makes center ball heads and you can even get one with an Arca compatible quick release platform option (look at the G1377M).
The antitwist feature alone of RRS or Kirk plates is worth the expense for your system. But you also get a system of plates you can happily leave on your cameras and lens mounts so you greatly speed tripod setup. Heck, the plates act as bumpers to protect the finish of my cameras. I honestly do use my tripod much more with Arca plates than with any quick release system I had before. A mechanical antitwist is rock solid in vertical orientation. You can't get enough surface area of cork on the base of your lens mount and camera to prevent twist, and it's dangerous to try to torque down the attachment bolt in a vain attempt to stop twist.
There are some other nicely thought out alternatives to the Arca system, but Arca still wins in my book because there are so many plates and quality products that incorporate it. For long lens sports and wildlife photography, there's nothing like a gimbal mount head like the Wimberly or Kirk. These use Arca plates. Custom plates are available for a wide variety of equipment. The one on my Hasselblad Xpan makes up for the stupid far off-center mount on the camera by extending the length of the plate so the camera can be centered on the tripod. My Linhof view camera has a very long plate that lets me shift the c/g of the extended camera by sliding the whole thing on my ballhead. There are a ton of other gizmos from over-the-lens flash brackets and macro sliders that all work with the Arca standard. I dislike the lack of a safety with the Arca plates and they can be fussy to mount sometimes, but the benefits outweight the problems for many photographers.
As to Gitzo carbon fiber vs. Manfrotto, the round tubing Gitzo uses along with the tight fitting barrel locks makes the Gitzo a more rigid tripod. The Manfrotto is good, but Gitzos are noticeably better. I think the 1227 would be a great way to go with the UK pricing.
However, let me put out a bug that you might want to consider as another option. I went with the the 1348, the MK2 model that comes with a plate and no center column. It weighs 4.8 lbs and it will soar to 65.7" high, not including the height of my ballhead. By doing away with the center column completely, I get a super stable tripod that is rated for 26.5 lbs. There's no way I'd be able to rationalize the price without the tremendous savings from Robert White. And should you ever get a windfall and decide to get some really big glass, you'd have a tripod worthy of the load. The 1325 gets up to 59" high without a center column, folds to 26" and only weighs 4.5 lbs.
Just do it said the carbon fiber devil
By the way, dr_poop is the leading bidder on my other Gitzo right now at $400 - you can always ebay your Gitzo from the UK at a profit should you have any regrets...

I thik it is a darn good excuse to get a Gitzo, since you don't own a carbon fiber tripod one yet. Go for it.
Have a great time :-)

Thanks BJ for your very detailed reply. The 1348 certainly does sound quite interesting, considering the height without a center column. I guess I have some very serious investigating to do this weekend. I might have to run up to Wolf and see if they carry these so that I can actually see some, rather than viewing on the Internet.
I think I will price out the 1348 with the Arca BI, and with the 1377m with the Arca style adapter.
When you talk about the anti-twist plates are you talking about the PZ-6 plate (it appears to have the piece that wraps around the front of the camera to prevent twisting in vertical position), or are you talking about the BL-F100G L-Bracket (F100 model)?
Again, not sure how much money I want to spend; just purchased a new 20-35mm F/2.8 Nikkor from Ritz on Ebay for $910.00 (really didn't want the AF-S 17-35mm since the silent wave function on a wide angle type lens is, in my opinion, not worth the price).
However, you have given me plenty of information to look up this weekend. Not in too big of a hurry to purchase the tripod since I really will not have any use until October to use it.
One other question, what about the Markins (or is it Merkins) ballheads? Are they as good as Arca or Kirk, and if so, where can you obtain one?
Again, thanks, and talk to you later.

You may contact Mr. Yang from the Markins LA Office at
"LA Office" <email@example.com>
Please let him know you were referred from Nikonians and that you are one.
Their site is
but maybe having difficulties with their server as it has been extremely slow, always.
The ball I had my eye on is the M1-PQI, although it weights about one pound, (510 grams) it can hold up to 40Kg (88 lbs!), with progressive ball locking, friction adjustment, panning and panning index, with quick release ARCA style clamp base. It comes in black, natural green, silver, wine red, blue and its list price is US$290

JRP, thanks for the info. Lists for about $40.00 less than an Arca Swiss B1. Have you ever tried one of these? The Markins states anti-twist, is the shoulder on this large enough to prevent an F5 with a large lens from twisting? I imagine the Markins plates will work on an Arca Swiss head.
BJ, don't you have one? Also, I spend some time pricing the different tripod head combinations, and wow, do they get expensive fast.
I have to admit I like the Arca Swiss a little better than the Gitzo 1377M. Prices from White so far are:
Gitzo 1227/1377m w/adapter plate, White's 628.27, B&H 939.80
Gitzo 1227/Arca B1, White's 749.59, B&H 1055.99
Gitzo 1348/1277M w/adapter plate, White's 784.03, B&H 1244.50
Gitzo 1348/Arca B1, White's 905.36, B&H 1360.99
The 1348 sure is an interesting tripod; however, looking at the price the 1227 w/Arca head is about 150.00 less. Then the price of the plates?
Thanks guys, my head is busting with this information, along with a very nasty cold (and I have to fly tomorrow). Still have to see if I can find these products in person somewhere.
Have a great day,

The Arca B1 is much loved for its elliptical ball, it's the only head with this design. The shape means that as the ball is rotated from vertical, the resistance increases, preventing the head and load from "flopping". This anti-flop feature offers security for heavy camera and lens combos that could topple if you weren't attentive to a flopping load.
This is a nice feature, but it has a penalty. You must travel with the clamp fully loosened on main tension knob. If you don't, the vibration of travel will work on the ball and cause it to jam in its socket. Arca has a published remedy, you over-tighten the head forcefully and then back off. Most times this will free the ball, but I've read several posts from people who had to send the head back to Arca. Arca isn't known for fast service. Loosening the head each time you take down the tripod doesn't sound like a big deal, but it's another thing to keep track of and it's very annoying to loose the tension setting you just fine tuned for your camera and lens.
The more I use my Markins head, the more I appreciate the quality and thoughtful design. It's super strong while being super light. I can put enough tension on the ball to keep the load from flopping, but still move the head with precision. And the round ball means that I can leave the tension set (using the inset tension adjustment dial) with no risk of lockup. The M1-PQi is the one to get. It has the quick release plaform, the panning base, and degree index marks. And these are the best looking ballheads in the world
I'd go for the Kirk PZ-6 on the F5 (or the RRS equivalent). Some people swear by the angle brackets like the BL-F5, and they do allow you to a better balanced vertical shot. But it strikes me as bulky and beneficial only if you have a relatively narrow tripod platform. Maybe after using one I'd think otherwise, but I like the body contours of Nikon cameras too much to find the angle bracket bulk appealing. The Markins head can hold a vertical solidly, and rotating a secured camera body is less risky than removing, rotating and reinstalling the camera. Every time you mount the Arca-type quick release, you need to carefully check the dovetail attachment before letting go of the camera. You might remember my destroyed 24-80 zoom that died because I didn't check the dovetail position closely enough. Maybe with a heavy zoom and the taller F5 body, the angle bracket would offer significantly better stability compared to turing the camera on its side.
I guess I'm going to be the first kid on the block with the new Markins titanium spike feet for Gitzo carbon fiber tripods. I'll be sure to post images and a review if this proves true...

BJ and JRP
Thanks for your knowledgeable help on this matter. One moment I think I will order the Gitzo 1227 and the Markins ballhead, but then again I keep thinking of the Gitzo 1348 with the Markins. For someone tall, the 1348 sure is appealing. Due to your recommendations, I have ruled out the Arca Swiss ballhead as well as the Bogen. (I have already ruled out the Kirk due to some comments on the internet.)
Well, once my head gets clear, and my ears stop hurting (I hate flying with a cold), I may actually stop waffling and make a decision.
Thanks again guys,

Doug, just curious, what comments have you read on the Internet that made you rule out the Kirk? I'm not looking to buy a ballhead right now but your info might come useful if I do decide to get a ballhead in the future.

#11. "RE: Markins ballhead" | In response to Reply # 10Thu 02-May-02 08:21 PM
Not necessarily negative comments, but comments stating that the Arca was a lot better made, and well worth the extra 100 bucks, over and above the Kirk; and there were quite a few of these I found when doing a search on ballheads, and reading some reviews on other websites. For that reason I narrowed it down to the Arca; however, I have purchased a Markins instead. After reading their literature, and the recommendation of people I know, I decided to purchase a M1-PQ1.
I will say that the information on the Arca head freezing up if you forget to loosen the tension when transporting the tripod/ball head, made me think twice about the Arca. Especially since, I started running across quite a few articles on this problem too.
As for my decision, as I stated above I have ordered the Markins ballhead, and just today, I received my Gitzo G1227 Tripod from Robert White Photography.
Item Robert White B&H Tripod $338.47 $626.00 Gitzo Bag $56.90 $84.95 Gitzo Strap $17.51 $29.50 Shipping $52.52 Approx. $40.00 Total $465.40 $780.45
Savings: $315.05
Quick inspection and feelings: Extremely light when compared to my Bogen 3221, legs slide out and in very smoothly, the finish on the legs is extremely smooth. The leg locks are going to take some getting used to, I will say for operation, the Manfrotto leg locks are easier to operate. However, the levers on the Manfrotto have a problem too, they catch on many things, including camera straps, camera bag straps, etc.
It certainly will be easier to lug around on the backpack than the Manfrotto 3221.
Fully extended with no equipment mounted, the Gitzo feels a lot sturdier than the heavier Manfrotto.
I would also like to say that it was a pleasure working with Liz at Robert White photography, everything went as smooth as you could hope for, and it took only two days to receive, once it was shipped.
Will someone explain why my table, that I spend way too much time on developing, starts about six inches below the paragraph above? I have tried to figure out what I did wrong, but I cannot.

Congrats on the new tripod! I think you'll find the carbon fiber tubing is less resonant than aluminum too. I've read cautions about not nicking CF tubing too deeply for fear of it coming unwound - the bag's a good idea. I saw a trick the BI Mah uses on his tripod that I've emulated with mine. I found some 1.5 inch black (really dark grey like the CF tubing) electrical shrink tubing. I carefully shrank it over the upper tubes on my tripod - the sleeves will protect the surface from abrasion while carrying the tripod on a backpack.

If your eyepoint is any higher than 6' 2" you might have to stoop a bit . I would go for Kirk or RRS plates for your cameras and lens mount since the Markins plates are semi custom. I have a Markins plate on my N80 and my wife's N65 and they work fine with these lighter bodies, but I'd go for a full custom plate for a heavier body.

I'm 6'2" (in the AM, 6'1.5" in the PM) with the F5 mounted I might have to stand on my toes to view through the viewfinder. (Are those winter coats hanging on the rack? )
I have just requested a catalog from RRS, they don't appear to have any of their information on their website. I have time before I need one, so I can waffle back and forth for a month or two. Although like I said, I have narrowed it down to either the 1227 or 1348.
Thanks again.

Well, I made it to two of the "so-called" photo pro shops in the Nashville area and the pickings for Gitzo tripods are slim.
One place, Dury's (sp), had Gitzo but only two models: A320 and 1224. Cannot find any reference to the A320 on the Gitzo website, and I believe it was aluminum, as was the 1224. (Prices were $460.00 for the A320, and $399.00 for the 1224.) They did have a full display of Manfrotto tripods and heads, as well as Slik and some Velbon products.
I then went to Wolf's Pro Shop and you can tell Ritz Camera bought them out. I could find no Gitzo products at all in the store (I had called both places prior to driving there and was told they carried Gitzo), so I asked a saleslady, and she had never heard of Gitzo. One of the salesman overheard and came over and explained they stopped carrying Gitzo and replaced it was Quantarary, which he went on to explain was a "lot better product, than either Gitzo or Manfrotto." Quantarary products were more durable, lighter and were preferred by all the pros." These statements were so ludicrous I could not help but start laughing; even with a headache. In between laughs, I asked what pros, and he stated "the local pros." I then explained that I could tell that Ritz had purchased Wolf's even if I had not read that in the paper a few years ago, and made a hasty retreat from the premises before I got in trouble. I had thought Wolf's pro shop to be a joke before, now I would actually rate Wal-Mart's photo shop to be better.
Well, so much for my attempt at hugging a Gitzo tripod this weekend. Guess I will have to wait until I obtain one from overseas.

Mmmmmm. Quantaray. The pro's choice! Our local Inkley's-really-Ritz at least as a few Bogen pods. There are a few Gitzos at Wasatch Photographic, but only the most popular models.
I wanted to add to my impressions of using the 1348 so far. Not having a center column does have its drawbacks. The wide base and small ballhead make it a little tight to work with the F100 vertically. It can be done, but it's more fussy to set up the head and the camera for clearance with the base. Fine tuning tripod height is slower and fussier as well. I'd probably go with the 1349 (if I have the model right) that has a center column and a flat plate so I could switch as needed. Or the right angle Arca QR bracket would be very helpful with this rig...
I'll do some more living with the new pod and report back what I decide about getting a center column for it.

Glee: Prom Queen (2011)
Getting Better
I think that this really brought Glee back from it's dud in the past few episodes. Sure, it was a little corny and the music was not unbelievable but I think that the acting was excellent and I enjoyed it very much. I hope that the episodes will now start to improve, like they were in the beginning. I also like how it surrounded the kids more and kind of drifted away from Mr. Shuster's story (even though I do love him). Each character really got to shine in this episode and really played a part. The part that I would fix however was the unresolved scuffle in the end between Jesse and Finn. Yes, I understand that it's kind of left hanging like a cliff hanger but all we know is that they were thrown out and that was that. We have no idea where Finn stands with Quinn and Rachel. But that was most likely on purpose.

Tim Kaine (D-VA) attacked Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on the grounds of race. Before a mostly African-American student audience,
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has made up significant ground against Hillary Clinton in the past few days in the Reuters/Ipsos poll, where he trailed by 12 points on Tuesday, 45%-33%, but is now behind only 5 points, 41%-36%.
The attorney general of Louisiana has joined federal lawmakers in calling for the appointment of a special prosecutor for the Clinton Foundation scandal.
The 2016 presidential race has tightened into a statistical tie between Democratic Hillary Rodham Clinton at 42 percent and Republican Donald J. Trump at 41 percent, in the latest Breitbart News Network/Gravis Marketing poll of 1,493 likely voters. That puts the negligible one percent difference between Trump and Clinton well below the poll's margin of error of 2.5 percent, meaning this is a tie ball game heading into the home stretch of the election.
Libertarian candidates Gary Johnson and William Weld hold their third nationally televised Townhall tonight, moderated by John Stossel and televised on the FOX Business network at 9 pm.
Jeff Bezos' Editorial Board at the Washington Post is complaining that there are not enough Americans willing to work for minimum wage and is asking for foreign replacements to fill the low-wage jobs before employers are forced to raise Americans' wages.
In explaining his defense of the Second Amendment, Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump stresses that "the right to keep and bear arms protects all our other rights."
PBS Newshour removed criticism of Hillary Clinton, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP), and Obamacare from Judy Woodruff's interview of Green Party presidential nominee Jill Stein. The edits were discovered by a supporter of Stein, Matt Orfalea, when he compared the Facebook Live version with the broadcast and Youtube versions. Orfalea added the cut portion of the questions and posted it to YouTube.
Veteran Democrat operative Ed Kilgore warns that Hillary Clinton's handling of "Clinton Cash" scandals regarding the Clinton Foundation could hurt down-ballot races this November.
In April 2008, then-candidate Obama dismissed rural Americans in Pennsylvania who were left behind by both Republican and Democratic administrations.
Planned Parenthood sought the money in an attempt to stave off efforts to eliminate its taxpayer funding following the video scandal that exposed its alleged involvement in the illegal sale of aborted baby body parts.
The Washington Post published the following op-ed by attorney and conservative commentator A.J. Delgado.

As described, fast delivery, will order from them again.
Seems to be a wonderful product. We had a stray kitten come and they have to stay outside. One they seem to be happier and two we have a 15 year old cat in the house who hisses whenever they see it at the door. She seems to really love the little house and stays in it a lot. She will stick her head out and meow when you turn on the porch light.

insanity is good for the mind
The only studies I've heard seem to suggest that Chess, like crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, Scramble, ect, all benefit the mind from young to old. Insanity isn't embeded into any game, the personality that plays the game might be likely to become obessive about things and a particular game but it isn't related to a game like Chess.
I think too much studying chess will turn you insane. I think it was the reason Waitzkin stopped chess. he did not want to become Bobby Fischer, again. because he knew Bobby was crazy.
So what does that Josh W. guy do now?
Martial arts.
Insanity? You insane?
That would be telling!
"the king is stationary, the queen has all the power".
Mein Got
Are you a knight?
No, you are a bishop
sent to attack me at the busstop
So is Josh W. (sorry I don't know his last name proficiently) any good at martial arts? Or is he "training to be a cage fighter" like Napoleon Dynamite's older brother?
John..josh is okay-ish in his martial arts,but to me he was a natural chess,so young,so talented,so quick.you should download his movie.i think chess does appear to make others insane more than other sports but i also think this ultimately lies with ones personality,approach to the game.you need a healthy personality and approach..and a well balanced social,mental,physical and spiritual life.you should be ok.musacha still waiting on that great idea..your thoughts.
Don't be silly everyone knows helicopters are immune from mental illness.
How do you mean vanilla ice.
Ohh Vanilla Ice! Love it!
Think your okay as long as don't start going to the shops dressed as a bishop or knight.
Think your okay as long as don't start going to the shops dressed as a knight.
(Insanity) U do an action over and over expecting a different result ! Hmmmm....sounds like chess too me!

Table of contents
|NOTE: This guide uses /opt/bitnami to refer to the installation directory for the Bitnami Stack. This is the default installation directory for Bitnami Cloud Hosting, Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure servers and for virtual servers. If you're using a native installer and have installed the Bitnami Stack to a different folder, replace /opt/bitnami in the examples below with your actual installation directory.
The CodeIgniter framework is installed in the frameworks/codeigniter directory in the installation directory. This directory includes an example application. Application configuration files are in the conf/ directory and public files, such as HTML pages, CSS and JavaScript files, images and other media assets are stored in the htdocs/ directory.
Activation and Testing
To enable the example application, edit the Apache configuration file at /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/bitnami/bitnami-apps-prefix.conf and uncomment the following line
Include "/opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/conf/httpd-prefix.conf"
Then, restart the Apache server.
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
You can now verify that the example application is working by visiting its URL using your browser. Select your platform below.
Access the example application via your browser at http://[server-IP-address]/codeigniter
Access the example application via your browser at http://[server-IP-address]/codeigniter
Access the example application via your browser at http://[virtual-server-IP-address]/codeigniter
Access the example application via your browser at http://localhost/codeigniter (Windows) or http://localhost:8080/codeigniter (Mac OS X and Linux).
Here is an example of what you might see:
Before using the example application, here are a few important points to consider:
1. To secure your application session, modify the encryption keys in the application/config/config.php file. Ideally, use a key that's 32 characters or longer in length.
$config['encryption_key'] = '';
On Linux, you can use a command like pwgen 32 to generate a 32-character random key. On Windows, you can use a tool like PWGen.
2. If your application will use a database, edit the database settings in the application/config/database.php.
$db['default']['hostname'] = 'localhost'; $db['default']['username'] = 'user'; $db['default']['password'] = 'pass'; $db['default']['database'] = 'database_name'; $db['default']['dbdriver'] = 'mysql'; $db['default']['port'] = 3306; $db['default']['dbprefix'] = '';
MySQL support is already available by default. If you plan to use PostgreSQL, enable the php_pdo_pgsql extension in the /opt/bitnami/php/etc/php.ini file.
To obtain access credentials for the MySQL database, use user 'root'. For the MySQL password, follow the steps below:
- Browse to the "Servers -> Manage Server" page of your Bitnami Cloud Hosting dashboard.
- Obtain the password from the "Application Password" section.
- Browse to the Bitnami Launchpad for Google Cloud Platform dashboard and sign in if required using your Bitnami account.
- Select the "Virtual Machines" menu item.
- Select your Bitnami Stack server from the resulting list.
- Obtain the password by selecting "Show" under "Credentials".
To log in, use default password 'bitnami'.
To log in, use default password 'bitnami'.
The password is the one specified by you during the Bitnami Stack installation process.
3. To move the CodeIgniter example application such that it is available at the root URL of the server (without the /codeigniter URL suffix), follow these steps:
- Edit the /opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/conf/httpd-prefix.conf file so that it looks like this:
DocumentRoot "/opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/htdocs" #Alias /codeigniter/ "/opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/htdocs/" #Alias /codeigniter "/opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/htdocs" Include "/opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/conf/httpd-app.conf"
- Edit the /opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/conf/httpd-app.conf file and replace the AllowOverride None directive with the AllowOverride All directive:
AllowOverride All
- c. Restart the Apache server:
$ sudo /opt/bitnami/ctlscript.sh restart apache
You should now be able to access the example application at the root URL of your server.
Upgrading to CodeIgniter 3.x
If your Bitnami stack currently uses CodeIgniter 2.x and you would like to upgrade to CodeIgniter 3.x, follow these steps:
|NOTE: The steps below assume that you have already activated the CodeIgniter framework and example application, as described here.
- Log in to your server console.
- If you are using a native installer only, load the Bitnami environment:
$ cd /opt/bitnami $ ./use_lampstack
- Back up the current version of CodeIgniter:
$ cd /opt/bitnami/frameworks $ sudo mv codeigniter codeigniter.old
- Download and install the latest version of CodeIgniter (3.0.0 at the time of writing):
$ cd /opt/bitnami/frameworks $ sudo wget https://github.com/bcit-ci/CodeIgniter/archive/3.0.0.zip $ sudo unzip 3.0.0.zip $ sudo mv CodeIgniter-3.0.0 codeigniter
- Create a demo application:
$ cd /opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter $ sudo composer self-update $ sudo composer create-project --prefer-dist codeigniter/app app
- Copy the necessary configuration files from the previous CodeIgniter installation:
$ sudo cp -R /opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter.old/conf /opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/ $ cd /opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter $ sudo mkdir htdocs $ sudo mv index.php user_guide htdocs
- Modify the index.php file:
$ cd /opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/htdocs $ sudo vi index.php
- Within the file, update the values of the $system_path and $application_folder variables so they look like this. If you are using a native installer, remember to modify the paths to reflect the location of your stack installation directory:
<?php $system_path = '/opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/system'; $application_folder = '/opt/bitnami/frameworks/codeigniter/application';
- Change file ownerships of the CodeIgniter directory:
$ cd /opt/bitnami/frameworks $ sudo chown -R bitnami:root codeigniter
You should now be able to access the example application and verify that it is using CodeIgniter 3.x, as shown below:

Definition of numismatic
1 : of or relating to numismatics
2 : of or relating to currency : monetary
numismaticallyplay \-ti-k(ə-)lē\ adverb
Did You Know?
The first metal coins are believed to have been used as currency by the Lydians, a people of Asia Minor, during the 7th century B.C.E., and it is likely that folks began collecting coins not long after that. The name that we give to the collection of coins today is numismatics, a word that also encompasses the collection of paper money and of medals. The noun numismatics and the adjective numismatic came to English (via French numismatique) from Latin and Greek nomisma, meaning "coin." Nomisma in turn derives from the Greek verb nomizein ("to use") and ultimately from the noun nomos ("custom" or "usage"). From these roots we also get numismatist, referring to a person who collects coins, medals, or paper money.
Origin and Etymology of numismatic
French numismatique, from Latin nomismat-, nomisma coin, from Greek, current coin, from nomizein to use, from nomos custom, law — more at nimble
First Known Use: 1792
Rhymes with numismatic
achromatic, acrobatic, aerobatic, anabatic, antistatic, aromatic, Asiatic, astigmatic, autocratic, automatic, bureaucratic, charismatic, cinematic, democratic, diplomatic, Eleatic, emblematic, enzymatic, Hanseatic, hieratic, Hippocratic, hydrostatic, kerygmatic, kleptocratic, melismatic, mobocratic, monocratic, morganatic, operatic, phallocratic, photostatic, plutocratic, pre-Socratic, problematic, programmatic, symptomatic, systematic, technocratic, theocratic, thermostatic, undogmatic, undramatic

Attorney John Winters told Reuters he would voluntarily withdraw the lawsuit, filed on Friday in United States District Court in Chicago, after hearing from the Sayers' family that the Chicago Bears great no longer wanted to pursue the matter. Attempts by Reuters to get comment from Sayers were unsuccessful.
The lawsuit came three weeks after the league agreed to pay $765 million to settle a lawsuit brought by thousands of former players, many suffering from dementia and health problems, who accused the league of hiding the dangers of brain injuries.
Winters said Sayers, 70, contacted him earlier in the week, wanting to know about the concussion lawsuit against the NFL.
"After that conversation, he instructed me to file a lawsuit and then today I found out through family members he no longer wants to pursue it," Winters told Reuters on Saturday.
The lawsuit also accused helmet maker Riddell of failing to warn him of the risks of concussions, and of not disclosing that the helmets would not prevent concussions.
Sayers, known as the Kansas Comet, played running back for Chicago from 1965 to 1972, when he retired in the preseason. Sayers led the league twice in rushing and was a four-time Pro Bowler during his career that was cut short by knee injuries. Sayers was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1977.
In 1970, he published a memoir, "I am Third," describing his rise to football glory and his friendship with Chicago Bears teammate Brian Piccolo, who died of cancer. The autobiography was the basis for the 1971 film "Brian's Song."

Natalie Luhrs is annoyed that Larry Correia is encouraging people to vote for himself and other writers he likes for the Hugos this year. That is, she argues, properly a privilege that belongs to her and her own snooty friends on the Left. And we certainly shouldn't link to Correia's post.
So, to show Natalie just how much I respect her opinion, she's inspired me to link to Larry Correia's post "A Blow Has Been Struck Against Puppy Related Sadness."
As always, Larry Correia is fun to read. :)

Vanity Fair
by William Makepeace Thackeray
Vanity Fair Language and Communications Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
When the young men went upstairs, and after Osborne's introduction to Miss Crawley, he walked up to Rebecca with a patronising, easy swagger. He was going to be kind to her and protect her. He would even shake hands with her, as a friend of Amelia's; and saying, "Ah, Miss Sharp! how-dy-doo?" held out his left hand towards her, expecting that she would be quite confounded at the honour.
Miss Sharp put out her right forefinger, and gave him a little nod, so cool and killing, that Rawdon Crawley, watching the operations from the other room, could hardly restrain his laughter as he saw the Lieutenant's entire discomfiture [...] the Lieutenant, by way of beginning the conversation, agreeably asked Rebecca how she liked her new place.
"My place?" said Miss Sharp, coolly, "how kind of you to remind me of it! It's a tolerably good place: the wages are pretty good--not so good as Miss Wirt's, I believe, with your sisters in Russell Square [...] You can't think what a difference there is though. We are not so wealthy in Hampshire as you lucky folks of the City. But then I am in a gentleman's family--good old English stock. I suppose you know Sir Pitt's father refused a peerage. And you see how I am treated. I am pretty comfortable. Indeed it is rather a good place. But how very good of you to inquire!" (14.86-93)
Again, Becky turns the tables in a social situation by cutting through the bull and calling it like she sees it. George is trying to be all condescending, but Becky knows he isn't really an aristocrat, and she out-condescends him mercilessly. And at this point, we are totally on Team Becky, so this scene pretty much rocks.
Quote #5
Rebecca was a young lady of too much resolution and energy of character to permit herself much useless and unseemly sorrow for the irrevocable past; so, having devoted only the proper portion of regret to it, she wisely turned her whole attention towards the future, which was now vastly more important to her. And she surveyed her position, and its hopes, doubts, and chances.
In the first place, she was MARRIED--that was a great fact. Sir Pitt knew it. She was not so much surprised into the avowal, as induced to make it by a sudden calculation. It must have come some day: and why not now as at a later period? He who would have married her himself must at least be silent with regard to her marriage. How Miss Crawley would bear the news--was the great question. Misgivings Rebecca had; but she remembered all Miss Crawley had said; the old lady's avowed contempt for birth; her daring liberal opinions; her general romantic propensities; her almost doting attachment to her nephew, and her repeatedly expressed fondness for Rebecca herself. She is so fond of him, Rebecca thought, that she will forgive him anything: she is so used to me that I don't think she could be comfortable without me: when the eclaircissement comes there will be a scene, and hysterics, and a great quarrel, and then a great reconciliation. At all events, what use was there in delaying? the die was thrown, and now or to-morrow the issue must be the same. And so, resolved that Miss Crawley should have the news, the young person debated in her mind as to the best means of conveying it to her; and whether she should face the storm that must come, or fly and avoid it until its first fury was blown over. (15.48-49)
Why does Becky, who is a master of communication, blow this? Is it because she is forced to reveal the information not on her own terms but as a result of Sir Pitt's unexpected proposal? How could she so misread Miss Crawley's character that she leaves the house where she has been ruling the roost? There are a few moments where Becky's mistakes seem artificially planted in the text just to make the plot move forward. This seems like one of them to us. What do you think?
Quote #6
The night before, Mr. Clump and Dr. Squills had had a consultation (over a bottle of wine at the house of Sir Lapin Warren, whose lady was about to present him with a thirteenth blessing), regarding Miss Crawley and her case.
"What a little harpy that woman from Hampshire is, Clump," Squills remarked, "that has seized upon old Tilly Crawley. Devilish good Madeira."
"What a fool Rawdon Crawley has been," Clump replied, "to go and marry a governess! There was something about the girl, too."
"Green eyes, fair skin, pretty figure, famous frontal development," Squills remarked. "There is something about her; and Crawley was a fool, Squills."
"A d---- fool--always was," the apothecary replied.
"Of course the old girl will fling him over," said the physician, and after a pause added, "She'll cut up well, I suppose."
"Cut up," says Clump with a grin; "I wouldn't have her cut up for two hundred a year."
"That Hampshire woman will kill her in two months, Clump, my boy, if she stops about her," Dr. Squills said. "Old woman; full feeder; nervous subject; palpitation of the heart; pressure on the brain; apoplexy; off she goes. Get her up, Clump; get her out: or I wouldn't give many weeks' purchase for your two hundred a year." And it was acting upon this hint that the worthy apothecary spoke with so much candour to Mrs. Bute Crawley. (19.30-37)
Another great exchange. Because these two doctors couldn't care less about Miss Crawley, Becky, Rawdon, or anyone else that we know in the novel, they are able to talk about their dramatic and horrendous actions in the most brutally honest, most dispassionate tone possible. Is this meant to also be indicative of how removed from their patients' emotional lives doctors are?

Seems to be working!
Posted by Reviewer2731580 on Sep 24, 2010
I hardly ever write reviews but this product seemed to warrant me taking the time to laud about it. I have taken cla for years and have been satisfied with the results as far as keeping my fat reserves in check but when cla is combined with fish oil, it seems to work synergistically and I have had faster results with this combination so I do recommend it if you have a little unsightly fat creeping up on you and you don't want to take anything but natural supplements.

Richard Dorment is the Daily Telegraph's chief art critic. His books include a life of the British sculptor Alfred Gilbert and a catalogue of the British Paintings in the Philadelphia Museum. He has organised exhibitions at the Royal Academy (Alfred Gilbert) and Tate (James McNeil Whistler), and was named Critic of the Year in the British Press Awards for 2000.
Richard Dorment wrote his first review for the Daily Telegraph on December 11, 1986 (on new prints by David Hockney) and was immediately offered the job of art critic, a position he has held ever since.
Born in the US in 1946, he studied art history as an undergraduate at Princeton University before starting post graduate work at Columbia University where he wrote his dissertation on Burne-Jones's Mosaics for the American Church in Rome.
After three years as assistant curator of European painting at the Philadelphia Museum of Art he moved to London to pursue a career as a freelance writer on art and exhibition organiser.
Among major shows he has either curated or co-curated are 'Victorian High Renaissance' (Manchester and Brooklyn 1977) 'Alfred Gilbert Sculptor and Goldsmith' (Royal Academy 1986), and 'James McNeill Whistler' ('Tate Gallery, Musee d'Orsay, and National Gallery of Art Washington 1994-95).
In addition to the catalogue essays and entries for those shows, he has written the biography of the British sculptor Alfred Gilbert (Yale University Press 1985) and is the author of a 'Catalogue of the British Paintings in the Philadelphia Museum of Art' (Weidenfeld, 1986).
In 1992 he won the Hawthornden Prize for Art Criticism in Great Britain, in 2000 was named Critic of the Year in the British Press Awards. His review of the reopening of the Rijksmuseum won the Holland Prize in 2014.
He has been a trustee of the Wallace Collection and is still on the board of the Watts Gallery. A member of the judging panel of the Turner Prize in 1989 (the year Richard Long won), he also sat on the advisory committees for the Government Art Collection (1996-2005), the Visual Arts Department of the British Council (1997-2006), and the government's Reviewing Committee on the Export of Works of Art (1996-2002).
As well as writing for the Daily Telegraph, he has been a frequent contributor to the New York Review of Books since 1990.
Married to the novelist Harriet Waugh, Richard Dorment became a British citizen in 2005. In the New Year's Honours of 2014 he was made a CBE.

text: A friend in high school had this and loaned it to someone who never gave it back. I searched high and low about the net for this game. Even tried Gamedude and Chip 'N Bits, but no joy. During my 2nd deployment in the Navy, my ship made a port visit to Dubai. I was with some friends at their shopping mall when we came upon a game store. They had many interesting gaming oddities such as 30-in-1 GBA carts. While gazing at the weirdness, I found a shelf of PC games. At the very top, still sealed in the shrink wrap, was Redline. My search literally took me across the globe and now it was over. I got back to the ship opened the box and started to laugh HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA. Along with a pristine disc in the case and manual, was a coupon for 10000 degrees for Heat.net. This box had never, ever, been opened. Took a bit of jigery, pokery, but I got the old dog running and there was much nostalgia. YAY!

- Adding text, shapes, and images to projects
- Linking in Captivate
- Inserting interactive elements
- Using built-in actors
- Adding voiceover to projects
- Using different question types on quizzes

Skill Level Beginner
Because we use Captivate to create eLearning content, and now mLearning content, the mobile version of eLearning, we should understand the basics of eLearning. This will help us to understand the ultimate goal of what we are creating. So let's start with defining what eLearning really is. Now, there are many definitions out there, but they all share the same general description, and that is that eLearning activities are delivered in electronic format, typically using a computer with a connection to the Internet.
eLearning is often called by other names too, like distance learning, distance education, or Web-based training, online learning, and others. And with the recent influx of mobile devices, we now begin to hear of mobile learning, or mLearning, and Captivate 6 will allow you to create both eLearning and mLearning content. Now, eLearning can be used to educate learners on just about anything that you can imagine, but there are three major types of eLearning to consider. First, we have informal eLearning.
When surfing Web sites, many will now offer eLearning material at no cost. Informal eLearning, such as studying software materials, can help you improve your knowledge, and polish your skills. Then we have something known as corporate eLearning. Many businesses out there will train their employees through eLearning programs to prepare professional staff for success in their industry, and keep their knowledge current. And then there's academic eLearning. Students can often earn an accredited degree, for example, through the Internet, thanks to hundreds of eLearning degree programs now offered.
Captivate 6 can be used to create any of these types of eLearning. When we create eLearning courses, and content, it's important to understand the various components of an affective eLearning course if we want our learners to benefit from our efforts. First, by making your eLearning content interactive, people become engaged, and they are more willing to make the most of their online learning environment. It also allows you, the author, to include more sophisticated materials, without scaring learners off who might be new to the information.
We will be using Captivate 6 to create interactivity in our eLearning projects. By approaching each topic in your eLearning project with creativity in how you convey the information, you can really help to increase the effectiveness of your training, and make it stick. You need your learners to remember what they've learned, and Captivate 6 has a number of features and functions that help make your eLearning project interesting and memorable. Your eLearning project should take into account various levels of learners, and abilities, as well as changing content; making it simple for people to progress and track their progress, they can easily return to a place where they have left off.
Also be prepared to accommodate changes in your eLearning content as products evolve over time. If content in your eLearning project becomes incorrect or outdated, its lifespan becomes drastically reduced. It's also important to make your eLearning tool helpful. People may need instructions or tips for completing modules, as well as resources for accessing definitions and terms, or even who to contact in case of technical issues. Consider adding a Help button that is clearly visible, and a Glossary perhaps.
Of course, this is easily done with Captivate 6. Now, busy schedules often make it challenging to accommodate time for eLearning tools, so by making tools accessible from the Internet, you give people the option of taking advantage of them from outside of a work environment. You might also consider creating a CD-ROM based version of your training for low bandwidth scenarios, for users to take home, or on the road to have on hand when needed. The incremental cost of including a CD-ROM version of the training can be minimal compared to the extended reach of that training.
With Captivate 6, there are number of publishing options to make your eLearning tool accessible. So these are some very basic principles of eLearning to consider once you start the creation process. Captivate 6 includes tools, features, and functions to help you author content that takes into consideration each of these components, including some very useful new features that we will explore next.

Lucky for me I was suspicious from the beginning and checked the address of the company. I found another scam report on the same scam but named Insula Corp at the same address. Unfortunately for the person who fell prey to Insula corp, they were asked to deposit the check and as soon as the funds were available she had to wire the money to a strange place as part of the assignments. Days later the check bounces and leaves them 2k poorer.

Recieved a VM on my mobile phone stating to go to the website ATTrewardsplan.com for $100 and when doing so was prompted to another site. I did not put any info into the website or any other. But when I googled the website a prior complaint on Ripoff report came up so I figured I'd report a similiar occurance.
