Easy to mix, easy to use By Joseph on 3/8/2012 Joseph would recommend this product to a friend Excellent kit. Simple instructions, comes with everything you need, even the nice gallon jugs which are harder to find than you'd think. Go BRS. Two part dosing sounds complicated at first. This kit makes it as simple as taking a vitamin every morning with breakfast. My corals are happier since I've been dosing a little of each every day. As I add more corals I'll probably have to adjust my dosing, which will be simple because of the design of this kit. As usual, BRS is the best, really no reason to shop anywhere else. Great Kit! By Eric on 2/12/2012 Eric would recommend this product to a friend This is a great kit to start your two-part dosing.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Canon EOS Rebel T4i Kit with 18-135mm Lens by Woody Sherman Develop your photography hobby You don't have to be an expert photographer to use an SLR they all offer easy automatic shooting. Because of their build quality and the physics of good glass and large sensors, even their built-in automatic settings will get you better pictures than most point-and-shoots or mobile devices. But experienced photographers and budding hobbyists can get more creative by manually adjusting settings like aperture and shutter speed. SLRs let you expand your shooting options with additional lenses and flashes to suit just about any situation. If you'd like to record the occasional video, look for a model with high-def movie mode. Where did I put those candles... If there ever was a product that made you wish your birthday was coming up, the Canon EOS Rebel T4i would be an excellent candidate. With all of its ground-breaking features, it's well-positioned to make a run for the top of your wish list. And with attributes that make it attractive to still shooters and digital video aficionados alike, the Rebel T4i is sure to be a top seller down the road. In focus, all the time It all starts with the image sensor. Canon's newly tweaked 18-megapixel hybrid CMOS sensor contains pixels that are specially designed to offer phase detection autofocus. Why is that news important? Because it enables the camera to use two autofocus strategies, phase detection and contrast detection. In turn, this allows the camera to constantly track subjects at all times, even during video capture. No more presetting focus before you start the video mode, or hoping to "wing it" in manual mode. Canon also included their versatile 18-135mm image-stabilizing 7.4X zoom lens with this kit for capturing outstanding, blur-free photos and videos under all kinds of shooting conditions. This lens has an ultra-quiet stepper motor for its focus system, so it's perfect for noise-free video shoots. It's going for speed Action and sports photographers will appreciate the difference the DIGIC 5 image processor makes. Firstly, the 'T4i fires off continuous 18-megapixel still shots at 5 frames per second. And secondly, because the processor enables greater light sensitivity and noise reduction, it's easier to increase your shutter speed so you can freeze the fast moving action at the perfect moment, even when your surroundings get hectic. The Canon EOS Rebel T4i features a touchscreen display for intuitive control A nice touch(screen) The LCD display on the back has some cool tricks as well. In addition to being a fully articulated tilt/swivel monitor, it features three diagonal inches of gorgeous, 1,040,000-dot high-resolution screen. And get this: it's touch-enabled, allowing you a lightning-fast, intuitive method of controlling your camera's settings. Clear as a bell Video shooters will also appreciate the on-board stereo mic, the external microphone input, and the settable microphone input levels. Canon realizes that good audio is the first step towards making your videos truly professional, so the T4i is loaded with features that will help you do just that. Geared to your pace Don't worry that the Canon EOS Rebel T4i, with all its helpful settings, will be complex. Intelligent auto modes, autofocus, and scene detection will ensure great results for beginners; you can explore custom options as you gain confidence with the camera. A plethora of creative options await the curious and the enthusiastic. Maybe your birthday will come a little sooner this year.

Features Connections Power Options Lens Features Supplied Software Features Overview: This Canon EOS Rebel T4i kit includes the T4i DSLR camera body and the EF-S 18-135 IS zoom lens. It has a standard Canon EF mount, and is compatible with Canon EF lenses, including EF-S lenses. Viewfinder: The Canon EOS Rebel T4i uses an eye-level SLR viewfinder with pentamirror with 0.85x magnification (w/50mm lens) for approximately 95% vertical and horizontal coverage. It has a -3.0 to +1.0 diopter adjustment so you can focus the viewfinder to suit your eyesight (with or without eyeglasses). When using the self-timer or remote control, when your eye does not cover the viewfinder eyepiece, stray light may enter the eyepiece and affect the exposure when the image is captured. To prevent this, you can use the supplied eyepiece cover, attached to the neck strap, to cover the eyepiece. 3" Clear View LCD Touch Screen Monitor: The EOS Rebel T4i features a flip-out, Vari-angle Touch Panel 3" Clear View LCD monitor that allows you to shoot at a variety of angles. It has a 3:2 aspect ratio and approximately 1,040,000 pixels for Live View composition and viewing recorded images. The screen has the same capacitive technology as today's popular mobile devices, and delivers intuitive touch panel operation. Two-finger gestures (multi-touch) can be used for zooming or changing images, menu and quick control settings can be accessed, and focus point and shutter release can be activated with the touch of a fingertip. The LCD monitor offers 100% viewing coverage and 7 brightness levels to choose from. Live View: The Live View Function enables viewing your subjects directly on the camera's 3" LCD monitor. The camera allows you to magnify any part of the scene 5x or 10x for precise manual focusing. You can choose one of two grid overlay options for the LCD screen to help you line up vertical and horizontal lines. The camera can be controlled remotely via a computer through a USB connection, or wirelessly with the optional RC-6 remote controller. 18.0 Megapixel CMOS Sensor: Canon's large-area CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range, and offers approximately 18.5 million total pixels and 18.0 million effective pixels. This APS-C-sized sensor (22.3mm x 14.9mm) has the same 3:2 ratio as film cameras, enabling an effective angle of view that is 1.6x the normal EF Lens focal length. DIGIC 5 Image Processor: The Rebel T4i is the first Rebel camera to feature Canon's new DIGIC 5 Image Processor. The DIGIC 5 works with the CMOS sensor to deliver images with great detail without the need for artificial light sources. The camera can achieve higher ISO sensitivity, and can shoot up to 5 frames per second continuously. Image Recording: The camera records still images in JPEG and RAW formats. You can choose from the following image sizes: Large, Medium, Small 1, Small 2, and Small 3. For each resolution (except Small 2 and Small 3), you can set the compression to Fine or Normal. For RAW images, you can record only at the highest resolution. You can set the camera to RAW + JPEG and record a RAW image and a Large Fine JPEG image simultaneously. Aspect Ratio: The camera image sensor has an aspect ratio of 3:2. You can choose to record still images in 3:2, 4:3, 16:9, and 1:1 aspect ratios. This gives you the option of selecting any of the following image sizes: Quality Aspect Ratio and Pixel Count 3:2 4:3 16:9 1:1 Large (JPEG and RAW) 5184 x 3456 (17.9 MP) 4608 x 3456 (16.0 MP) 5184 x 2912 (15.1 MP) 3456 x 3456 (11.9 MP) Medium 3456 x 2304 (8.0 MP) 3072 x 2304 (7.0 MP) 3456 x 1944 (6.7 MP) 2304 x 2304 (5.3 MP) Small 1 2592 x 1728 (4.5 MP) 2304 x 1728 (4.0 MP) 2592 x 1456 (3.8 MP) 1728 x 1728 (3.0 MP) Small 2 1920 x 1280 (2.5 MP) 1696 x 1280 (2.2 MP) 1920 x 1080 (2.1 MP) 1280 x 1280 (1.6 MP) Small 3 720 x 480 (0.35 MP) 640 x 480 (0.31 MP) 720 x 400 (0.29 MP) 480 x 480 (0.23 MP) RAW File Format: The RAW file format records the image data as captured by the camera's CMOS sensor without further processing and converts it to digital data and records it onto the card as is. RAW images can be adjusted, then developed and produced into JPEG or TIFF images using the provided software. Recording Media: The EOS Rebel T4i records images on an SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards, including the newest UHD-I (Ultra High Speed) memory cards. It is also compatible with some brands of Eye-Fi cards that feature wireless transfer of images, although their performance is not guaranteed. Note: No recording media is supplied with the camera. EOS Integrated Cleaning System: Dust that settles on the sensor surface of the camera is removed using ultrasonic vibration. This Self Cleaning Sensor Unit routine is automatically activated whenever the camera is powered on or off. (It can also be manually activated.) A special collar positioned around the sensor collects the loosened dust. In case visible dust still remains, you can delete the effect of the dust particles from the image via the supplied software. Shooting Modes: The EOS Rebel T4i offers 14 different shooting modes arranged on the Mode Dial in the following zones: Creative Zone: Program AE: This is a general-purpose shooting mode, the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture value to suit the scene's brightness. Shutter-priority AE: In this mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the aperture value to suit the brightness of the subject. Aperture-priority AE: In this mode, you set the desired aperture value and the camera sets the shutter speed automatically to suit the subject brightness. Manual Exposure: You set both the shutter speed and aperture value as desired. Basic Zone: Scene Intelligent Auto: The camera analyses the scene, and automatically selects the settings.

Exposure Compensation: Exposure compensation is used to alter the camera's standard exposure setting. You can make the image look lighter (increased exposure) or darker (decreased exposure). The exposure compensation amount can be set up to +/-5 stops in 1/3-stop increments, although the indicator in the viewfinder can only display the setting up to +/-2 stops. Auto Exposure Bracketing: With auto exposure bracketing (AEB), the camera automatically changes the exposure level up to +/-2 stops in 1/3-stop increments for three successive shots. When in Single Shooting mode, the camera will change the exposure level on three single shots (requiring three presses of the shutter release). In Continuous Shooting mode, you can take three shots with one press of the shutter release, and the exposure levels will change with each shot taken. AE Lock: AE lock enables you to lock the exposure at a different place from the point of focus. After locking the exposure, you can recompose the shot while maintaining the desired exposure level. This feature is useful for backlit and spotlighted subjects. Bulb Exposures: When bulb is set, the shutter is open during the time you keep pressing the shutter button fully. Bulb is useful when a long exposure is necessary for capturing night scenes, fireworks, the night sky, etc. The optional RS-60E3 remote switch is also recommended for bulb exposures. It connects to the camera's 2.5mm sub-mini remote jack. Flash: The camera's built-in retractable, auto pop-up flash with E-TTL II autoflash metering. The flash takes approximately 3 seconds to recycle for the next flash. The viewfinder has an icon to let you know the flash is ready. You can set the exposure compensation for the flash to +/- 2 stops in 1/3-stop or 1/2-stop increments. The flash range varies with the ISO speed. Other flash functions include: AF-Assist: Under low-light conditions, the built-in flash fires a brief burst of flashes when you press the shutter button halfway. This is to illuminate the subject to enable easier auto-focusing. It is effective up to approximately 13.1 feet away. FE Lock: FE (flash exposure) lock obtains and locks the correct flash exposure reading for any part of a subject. Red-Eye Reduction: Using the camera's Red-Eye reduction lamp before taking a flash picture will reduce the common phenomenon of red-eye effect. External Flash: In addition to the built-in flash, the EOS Rebel T4i has a hot shoe for adding optional external flash units. The camera is compatible with Canon's entire line of EX-series Speedlites, plus Macro Lites for close-ups. Canon EX-series Speedlites offer professional-quality illumination for virtually any subject. The built-in flash can work as a Master unit with Canon Speedlites with the wireless slave feature and trigger the Speedlite(s) to fire. Metering Modes: You can select from the following metering modes: Evaluative Metering: The camera's standard metering mode utilizes 63 zones within the frame, and is suited for most subjects even under backlit conditions. After detecting the main subject's position, brightness, background, front and back lighting conditions, etc, the camera sets the proper exposure. Partial Metering: Effective when the background is much brighter than the subject due to backlighting, etc; uses approximately 9% of the frame at the center. Spot Metering: For metering a specific part of the subject; uses approximately 3.8% of the frame at the center. Center-weighted Average Metering: Metering is weighted at the center and then averaged for the entire scene. Continuous Shooting Mode: In Continuous Shooting mode, you can shoot up to about 5 frames per second. The maximum number of shots in a single burst will vary with the image quality setting: Image Quality Setting Maximum Burst 8 GB SDHC Card UHS-I Memory Card JPEG (Large/Fine) 22 30 RAW 6 6 RAW + JPEG (Large/Fine) 3 3 Self-Timer: The camera will record an image following a preset time delay after pressing the shutter release. The self-timer lamp and beeper will indicate a countdown before the picture is taken. You can choose from the following self-timer modes: 10 Second: The camera takes a single image 10 seconds after pressing the shutter release button. You can also use the optional remote control in this mode. 2 Second: The camera takes a single image 2 seconds after pressing the shutter release. 10 Second Continuous Shots: The camera begins taking a series of images (two to ten) 10 seconds after the shutter release button is pressed. Mirror Lockup: The Mirror Lockup feature helps prevent camera vibration when using a super telephoto lens or shooting close-ups. Auto Rotation: Vertical shots can be rotated automatically so that they are displayed upright during playback. Image Review: The image can be displayed on the LCD monitor immediately after you shoot. The review time can be set to off (not displayed), 2 seconds, 4 seconds, 8 seconds, or Hold, which keeps the image displayed on the LCD monitor until the camera is focused again. Creative Filters: You can apply several Creative Filters to your stored images, and save them as new images. The types of filters include: Grainy B/W, Soft focus, Fish-eye Effect, Art bold effect, Water painting effect, Toy camera effect, and Miniature effect. Slide Show: You can view all images on the memory card one after another with the Auto Playback function (slide show). You can set the time each image is displayed on the LCD monitor to 1, 2, 3, 5, 10, or 20 seconds. You can also select which images to display: all images, images by date, images by folder, movies only, stills only, or by rating. Index Display: This feature allows you to view four (2 x 2) or nine (3 x 3) images at once on the LCD monitor so that you can search for an image quickly. Image Magnification: When viewing a still picture in single image playback mode, you can magnify the image from 1.5x to 10x. While the image is magnified, you can scroll anywhere around the image.

Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Ralph Graves Staff Writer - Creative, A great starter kit for the serious photographer Written by Ralph Graves, Staff Writer - Creative, on 7/13/2012 10:30:00 AM Years ago when I decided to move up from point-and-shoot cameras, I purchased a Canon. It seems quite primitive compared to the EOS Rebel. This camera kit has just about everything the beginning photo enthusiast could ask for. The automatic settings provide a lot of options for the novice. And the individual settings (of landscape, action, portraits, etc.) offer even more. And the choices aren't overwhelming you can always go with the default. But if you're like me, and want to tweak an image ever so slightly, the Rebel lets you do so. And we're not even talking about manual mode. I have to admit the flip-out touchscreen took a little getting used to. I expect to have the display embedded in the back of the camera body. But there was one advantage. I could flip the touchscreen around so I could better frame self-portraits and group shots. I also really liked the optical viewfinder. And, being a glasses-wearer, really appreciated the fact that I could focus the viewfinder. All in all, this kit was a pleasure to use, and it's one that can definitely take an enthusiast to the next level of photography.

A federal magistrate judge has continued the trial date for 12 people accused of oxycodone in Clay, Knott, Letcher and Perry counties.
With the November 6 election fast approaching, some readers have expressed confusion over the make up of school board, magisterial and constable districts.
According to a study released last week by the nonprofit, non-partisan Education Consumers Foundation (ECF), the vast majority of Clay County third grade students are reading well, despite most of them being eligible for the free and reduced lunch program.
Brittany Hooker says that getting shot in the eye saved her life, because it gave her a relationship with God, and directed her away from drugs.
A group of Clay County coaches, parents and some students asked the Clay County School Board Monday night to consider reversing its policy on holding children back for athletic purposes.

Downloadable Sound Collections
SampleTank is the first professional-quality sound and groove module that puts hundreds of world-class instruments and patterns in your pocket. What's more, you can now expand your library with our new Downloadable Sound Collectionsvia in-app purchase. Our latest collection is SampleMoog™ - Mobile Edition, featuring classic synth sounds from Moog Music®. We also recently released the Miroslav Philharmonik - Mobile Edition, a downloadable collection of orchestral and choir sounds.
You can play SampleTank instruments on stage with the iRig PRO or iRig MIDI interfaces and a keyboard or pad controller just like you would any other sound or synthesizer module. Or pair it with iRig KEYS, our 3-octave, bus-powered mini-keyboard to create the ultimate portable MIDI studio.
But that's not all: Sampletank is now compatible with iOS 7, so you can upgrade to Apple's new operating system with confidence. It's also Audiobus compatible, which means you can open it through the Audiobus app, and use it with other compatible apps, such as AmpliTube, for real-time, inter-app audio routing.
Looking good
If you have an iPhone 5 or new iPod touch, SampleTank's graphics are now optimized for your device, and use every bit of that extra large screen with dazzling results. We've also streamlined the user interface, adding a new global menu that makes getting around the app even easier!
Be inspired: compose, record, play live — all with your iPhone or iPod touch
Got an idea? Grab your iPhone! SampleTank instruments give you unmatched realism, sound variety and audio performance. For the first time on this platform, hundreds of professional sample-based sounds and patterns can be easily accessed, layered and used for playing live. The built-in 4-track MIDI recorder lets you create beats, grooves, ideas and even complete songs. You can make music anytime and anywhere the inspiration hits you. SampleTank is the most compact sound and groove workstation ever made.
"MassiveTank" – Your iPhone is now a comprehensive instrument sound library
SampleTank gives you an astounding 16 instrument categories containing over 600 instruments that cover virtually every acoustic, electric and electronic sound you may need. Whether it's drums, pianos, bass, guitars, synthesizers, strings, or percussion, it's there. Plus, each category includes instrument patterns and grooves that you can immediately utilize and experiment with. All told, there are over 1,000 patterns and grooves.
SampleTank's new Downloadable Sound Collections feature makes it easy to add high-quality sounds to your SampleTank library. The new SampleMoog™ - Mobile Edition, which can be easily purchased and downloaded from within the app, features over 100 sampled analog lead, pad, bass, sequence and effect sounds from classic Moog Music® instruments including the Minimoog® Model D, Memorymoog, Polymoog, Taurus®, Source, Rogue, Prodigy, Vocoder, Minimoog Voyager®, Little Phatty® and Etherwave® Theremin. These sounds are taken from the desktop version of SampleMoog™, IK Multimedia's leading MOOG® virtual instrument.
The recently released Miroslav Philharmonik - Mobile Edition, also available for download, provides you with a huge library of orchestral sounds taken from IK's highly regarded Miroslav Philharmonik instrument for Mac/PC. The sounds were recorded during legendary sampling sessions with the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra at Dvorak Hall in Prague.
You can also instantly unlock smaller, expansion sound packs, offered for a wide variety of instruments, via in-app purchase.
Okay, so we made that one up. But it means that you can have up to 4 simultaneous instrument parts, perfect for playing live or recording. Use them to build a full rhythmic groove or to creatively layer sounds together. Groovy.
With up to 4 parts going at once, it's possible to have a lot of notes playing at the same time, so you'll be glad to know that SampleTank now has increased polyphony (number of simultaneous voices) on the latest Apple devices. This means you have plenty of voices for playback, even with complext parts or layers that use all 4 tracks.
Again, yes… we made it up. It means that you get the same sound and performance quality from our mobile app that you'd expect from our high-end professional studio products. And you do. Lightning-fast sound loading and near-zero latency makes putting the groove in your pocket an easy thing to do. So get in the pocket and get SampleTank.
Hop on the bus
We're happy to report that SampleTank is now Audiobus compatible. That means you can launch it from inside the Audiobus app (a third-party app that requires separate purchase), and send its output through other audio apps, like AmpliTube, GarageBand, and many others, to be filtered, recorded, looped, and more. The ability to share audio between apps opens up incredible creative possibilities.
We've also added full support for background audio, which means SampleTank can now play in the background when other audio apps are playing in the foreground. That means you can now layer SampleTank's output with that of other audio apps, giving you even more creative options.
What's New:
How it works
Quickly browse, pick, and load sounds and patterns
The core of SampleTank is its sound library. As soon as you launch the app, you will be presented with the SOUND BROWSER, where you can audition all the included sounds and patterns. Choose an instrument category, and then select the voicing you want to hear. Move quickly between the 16 available categories and their sounds and patterns by tapping the instrument category icon. Sounds purchased from the Downloadable Sound Collections and Expansion Packs show up in the same menu as the included sound set.
A sound and a pattern are loaded into one of the four available parts (A, B, C, D) by simply tapping on them. To move between parts, simply tap the PART button in the SOUNDS browser.
Save your work…
A set of sounds and patterns loaded into the 4 available parts can be saved into one of the 96 available user presets by accessing the PRESET pages from the SOUND BROWSER, and pressing and holding one of the 96 available slots. You can recall a preset simply by tapping its number or sending MIDI Program Changes from an external controller. 120 presets are available (24 factory and 96 user).
The BPM button in the SOUNDS browser pulls up the tempo slider so you can change the tempo of the patterns as well as display the large global play button to control all of the loaded patterns. There is also a small global play button at the top of every page of the app to instantly play the included patterns or your own MIDI recordings.
EDIT: Go ahead, get crazy
The EDIT button will bring up the EDIT strip where you'll find all kinds of knobs to fine-tune your sound by adjusting various sound parameters — volume, pan, transpose, attack, filter, etc, — and you can control the lush effects as well. Edit instruments and effects remotely using MIDI Continuous Controllers. Want total control over your sound? You've got it!
Above the edit knobs, several buttons allow you to activate the patterns (and the keyboard will show the keys that trigger patterns by changing to dimmed red), switch between pattern and instrument and change either one using the up/down arrows. A latch button allows a pattern to repeat on its own or only while you hold down a note. Finally, the Parts button quickly switches between parts right from the edit page.
KEYS: Perform on your iOS device
Once you've created the perfect sound, it's time to play. The SampleTank KEYS page is where you can use your device's touch screen to play SampleTank sounds. Here you have the same controls at the top for navigating sounds, patterns and parts, but you also get a dual-row keyboard that can be customized as a "scale keyboard" — showing only the notes of a specific key/scale.
PADS: Build beats and grooves anywhere
SampleTank provides a drum-machine-style PADS interface for easy beat creation. Drums and MIDI notes are assigned to each key in a familiar pad layout. You can reassign each pad to trigger exactly the drum or note you want — to create your own customized beat machine. And the PADS interface isn't just for drums. Load any instrument on the PADS page and start building your own groove-making powerhouse!
RECORDER: Capture inspiration when it strikes
A 4-track MIDI recorder is included with SampleTank to capture your ideas the moment you create them. Put a drum kit on one track, a bass on another, piano on a third and a synth lead on the fourth, and you can quickly build up a complete MIDI arrangement with handy quantize and loop controls. Then export your tracks as stereo audio files to continue working on them in other apps like AmpliTube or VocaLive or computer DAWs like Logic and Pro Tools.
Three ways to play
You can use the the onboard keyboard or drum pads to play your sounds. For additional control, use our iRig KEYS, 3-octave mini-key keyboard, or connect another MIDI keyboard through our iRig PRO or iRig MIDI interfaces.
How we did it
You've heard it before…
SampleTank for the iPhone/iPod touch is based on the same SampleTank Mac/PC audio engine you'll find being used in professional recording studios around the world. It offers a "greatest hits" selection of sounds from our flagship products such as SampleTank XL, Miroslav Philharmonik, SampleMoog™ and SampleTron. Plus you get brand new sounds specifically designed for the next generation of our virtual instruments and optimized for the best performance from your iPhone or iPod touch.
You have heard these sounds on countless records and productions by world-class artists and producers, and now you can have them in your pocket on your iOS device.
Photos from "The Making of SampleTank" More images on Facebook
All of the SampleTank sounds have been sampled, edited, programmed and optimized in-house by IK's team of audio engineers and sound designers. With 15 years of pioneering experience in sound design, combined with our classic Italian craftsmanship heritage, you're assured of getting the highest quality professional sound products.
We tracked down and hand-picked the best sounding pianos, classic vintage guitars, hard-to-find basses, must-have synthesizers and classic organs for a top-quality collection of sounds that has no equal on the iOS platform.

Lawyer: Carolinas HealthCare breaks information law
CHARLOTTE (AP) — A Charlotte attorney has sued Carolinas HealthCare System, saying it has violated the state public records law.
Charlotte attorney Gary Jackson has accused the operator of Carolinas Medical Center and more than 30 other hospitals of keeping secret the terms of a legal settlement, The Charlotte Observer (http://bit.ly/12JI4aN) reported.
Carolinas HealthCare won a confidential settlement in a complaint it filed against the former Wachovia Bank.
The settlement followed a 2008 lawsuit in which Carolinas HealthCare accused the bank of breaking a promise to put the hospital system's money in low-risk investments.
One of the Wachovia investments plummeted from about $15 million to less than $2 million, the Carolinas HealthCare lawsuit said.
The hospital system's board of directors went into closed session in 2011 to approve the settlement, Jackson's lawsuit says, and the hospital system refused to provide a copy of the agreement.
Jackson says the system has no legal right to keep the settlement confidential. He says the public deserves more information than it is getting.
The hospital system says the state public records law does not require it to release such settlements.
Mark Merritt, a lawyer representing the hospital system, said defendants tend to be willing to pay more in settlements with confidentiality clauses.
Superior Court Judge Robert Sumner is considering the hospital's request to dismiss Jackson's lawsuit.
Merritt said the public records law is unclear.
"I describe it as a Swiss cheese," Merritt said. "It's got a lot of holes in it."

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-42 by Kristen Schaub Sound bar speakers: room-filling sound with less clutter Add big sound to your TV without a roomful of speakers. Sound bars require minimal space and wiring, and their sleek designs complement today's flat-panel TVs. Most sound bars have their own built-in amplification, so you won't need to use a home theater receiver. Some models use advanced surround processing and carefully aimed speaker drivers to simulate the effects of a full home theater audio system. Slender, wall-mountable sound bar delivers spacious sound Definitive Technology's Mythos SSA-42 is the perfect solution when you want superb surround-like sound with a simple setup. Definitive's Spatial Array technology precisely controls which sounds are played by each of the nine drivers, creating the illusion that you are surrounded by five separate high-performance speakers. The result is a wide listening area with excellent performance to the sides, in which you can clearly pinpoint action happening to your left and to your right. The SSA-42 doesn't depend on bouncing sound off of your walls, unlike some sound bar speakers, so it works well in just about any room. And it's designed to perform equally as well with your favorite music as it does with your Hollywood blockbusters. High-tech speaker design produces detailed surround-like effects Definitive's BDSS technology helps these speakers deliver exceptional sound. The SSA-42 houses nine total drivers five for the front soundstage and four to handle the rear channels. Three of those drivers have a pure aluminum dome tweeter mounted in front of the speaker cone, for extended highs that reveal nuance and shimmer without a trace of edginess. And Definitive's BDSS driver technology helps increase the tiny speakers' output without increasing the size of the enclosure. Connect it to a multi-channel receiver and you've got a simple, high-performance home theater solution that's sure to impress. Gorgeous aircraft-grade aluminum cabinet The slim enclosure is made of stunning black hand-polished aluminum, and is sized to match TVs with screens measuring 42" or larger. The SSA-42 can be wall mounted using the supplied mounting bracket, or placed on a shelf in front of your TV. Add Definitive's ProSub800 subwoofer to get full bass that reaches down to 20 Hz. Got wire? Most speakers don't include any. Learn about choosing and installing speaker wire at the Crutchfield Learning Center. Shop our selection of speaker wire. Did you know? Your new speakers will probably sound better after several weeks of use than they do right out of the box. That's because the material surrounding the woofers will loosen up, allowing the drivers to move more fully. Definitive Technology estimates a break-in period of 24 to 48 hours of playback before the speakers will deliver optimum sound quality.

Overview: The Definitive Technology Mythos Solo Surround Array 42 (SSA-42) is a unique multichannel loudspeaker that provides a 5-channel surround sound experience from just one speaker. The Definitive Technology SSA-42 is the perfect surround audio solution when you are unable or unwilling to wire and place rear channel speakers in your room, but still want a home theater experience. The SSA-42 uses Definitive Technology's best drivers and tweeters for audiophile-grade sound quality so you can enjoy enveloping surround sound from a single speaker. The Mythos Solo Surround Array 42 features five discrete channels to connect to your 5.1-channel Dolby Digital receiver, so you don't need to run wire to five separate speakers. The Mythos SSA-4 can be wall- or shelf-mounted using the supplied hardware. Driver Technology Enclosure Design Connections Mounting Options Driver Technology Spatial Array: The Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-42 incorporates Spatial Array, a unique patented technology that optimizes the spatial presentation of five-channels to create the illusion that you are surrounded by five separate high-performance speakers. Spatial Array Surround technology uses subtle, but complex directional cues to completely free the sound from the speaker enclosure and convince your ear/brain listening mechanism that you are surrounded multiple speakers. Since Spatial Array technology does not depend on bouncing sound off walls, it works in virtually any room and set-up configuration. The SSA-42 uses Spatial Array technology on the front left and right speakers as well as the surround channels, so that you get big three-dimensional imaging from both stereo and multi-channel sources. BDSS Driver Technology: The Front left, Front right, and Center channel drivers of the SSA-42 utilize Definitive's exclusive and patent-pending Balanced Dual Surround System (BDSS) technology. Speaker cones usually have one support point at the circumference of the cone (called the surround), but BDSS drivers have two support points or surrounds. This design suppresses cone resonance and promotes a longer, more linear cone motion for higher output, lower distortion and more accurate frequency response. As a result you will enjoy perfectly natural and lifelike timbre with crystalline clarity on voices, musical instruments ,and movie sound effects, even at high-volume levels. Pure Aluminum Dome Tweeter: The Definitive Technology SSA-42's tweeter is a pure aluminum dome, which has been heat-treated to relax the crystal structure and then coated with a ceramic to produce extended highs. In order to keep the enclosure from being longer than popular sized video displays, Definitive engineers positioned the front channel tweeters in front of the drivers. While this is a commonly used space-saving technique, a tweeter placed in front of the driver usually interferes with the driver's sound waves. Using computer and physical modeling, Definitive engineers developed unique tweeter-housing geometry and venting that eliminates interference effects for audiophile-grade clarity, precision, and accuracy. Drivers: The Definitive Technology Solo Surround Array 42 features three 3-1/4" BDSS drivers with axially-aligned 3/4" pure aluminum dome tweeters; two 3-1/4" BDSS high-output full-range drivers, and four 3" full-range high-output surround drivers. Break-In Period: The Mythos SSA-42 will sound good right out of the box; however, an extended break-in period of 20-40 hours or more of playing is required to reach full performance capability. The break-in period allows the suspensions to work in and results in full bass, a more open midrange, and smoother high frequency reproduction. Enclosure Design Extruded Aluminum Enclosure: The SSA-42's enclosure is fabricated from aircraft-grade, hand-polished gloss black extruded aluminum, styled to perfectly match today's flat panel plasma and LCD TVs. Internal baffles and braces inside the enclosure eliminate interference effects between drivers and channels for true audiophile purity and maximum channel separation. Connections 5-Way Binding Posts: The SSA-42 is equipped with 5 pairs (Front left, Front right, Center, Rear right, Rear left) of gold-plated, 5-way binding posts to attach your 5.1-channel home theater receiver's speaker wire. Mounting Options Placement: The Mythos Solo Surround Array 42 is designed for horizontal use only. The 5-channel loudspeaker can be positioned below or above your flat-panel television. The SSA-42 matches perfectly with 42-inch and larger flat-panel televisions. Mounting: The Definitive Technology SSA-42 comes with easy-to-install mounting hardware that allow it to mount on the wall above or below your television. The Mythos SSA-42 comes with a wall mount bracket that allows direct mounting to a wall. The SSA-42 can also be mounted directly to select flat-panel TV swing out arm-style wall mounts, so that the speaker angle changes with the TV angle. It also includes hardware that allows you to place the speaker on the TV, on a shelf , or on a table-top (surface must be at least 5-inches deep). Angle Adjustment: The Mythos Solo Surround Array 42 comes with two brackets and two feet which screw into the speaker's wall-mount bracket to stabilize the speaker and allows you to adjust the vertical angle when the system is placed on a flat horizontal surface. When you set the speaker down, the speaker will lean back and rest on these feet. By varying how far you screw in-and-out the feet, you can adjust the vertical angle of the speaker. It is recommended that you aim the center-speaker so that it aims directly towards the height of the listeners' ears. Product reviews from the Crutchfield Labs (what are the Labs?)

This thing is outsatdning. Sets up with ease, sturdy as can be and produces a sound like no other. Must have some kind of echo location thing. seems like the sound come from all sides. Amazing! . Pros: Sturdy, Excellent Sound, Easy to Set Up, Cons: Didnt Buy it 4 eyars abo when I should have. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 5 out of 5 Highly Impressed Written By TomM, Aliso Viejo on Thursday, April 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I recently moved into a new home. The family room did not support my existing 5.1 speaker configuration. It was going to cost thousands of dollars to have in-wall speakers installed. Rather that do that, I decided to take a chance on a sound bar. I wanted to continue to use my existing Denon 2112ci home theatre receiver. The Definitive Technology Mythos SSA-42 offered everything I was looking for in a sound bar. Once I installed the unit, and adjusted the receiver, I could not have been more impressed at the sound quality, imaging, and overall effect of the sound bar. My powered sub even sounds better. Overall, I am impressed and happy with my choice. Pros: Sleek design. True audio receiver support (front, surround, and center channel speaker support). Sound quality. Sound imaging and effects.

It sounds even better with digital blueray or CDs Pros: Sound easy hook up Cons: Nome Was this review helpful? Yes | No 2 out of 5 Not As Expected Written By LindaG, Newfield, NJ on Sunday, December 15, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) We purchased this sound bar because the reviews seemed to indicate it produced sound quality close to that of true surround sound for those who didn't have the room for (or want to deal with) installing multiple speakers. This unit was being paired with a LG Plasma TV, which comes equipped with optional audio settings, one of which is "cinema" for movies. As good as this mode is, there are times dialog isn't audible. Due to space constraints, the Definitive Mythos seemed to be a perfect solution. After multiple calls to Crutchfield's tech support (they did an AMAZING job helping us fine-tune various settings!), we determined there was little increased sound quality produced by the Mythos that warranted the price tag (and we purchased an "open box" unit at 15% off regular price). Perhaps our TV offers much better sound quality then we realized and that's why we didn't hear a perceptible sound quality upgrade, but we just weren't impressed. We returned the unit after a month or so of giving it a try. ***Disclaimer***: We didn't purchase the Definitive Pro-Sub Woofer; perhaps that would have enhanced the sound, but the sound bar alone didn't impress. Pros: Sleek design. Cons: Sound wasn't better than that coming from our TV. 2 out of 2 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

The surround sound , even with the additional subwoofer I bought, not realistic at all. The bar is VERY heavy and hard to hang. I'm really dissappointed with the quality for the expense. Pros: Not really any Cons: Poor surround sound quality even in a small room; bar very heavy and anchors for wall not included. 2 out of 6 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Prompt shipping and arrived in perfect condition. One screw began to strip as the back was installed; use a large Phillips. Absolutely excellent sound from the system. Perfect clarity of movie dialogue and full- room music and sound effects. Recommend a sub-woofer for the best experience. And take care with the volume. This can blow you away.

Pared this with a Def Tech Pro Sub 1000 for outstanding performance with my Pioneer Elite TV. Movie effects really come alive with this soundbar and gives a new dimension to my Blu-Ray movies that I have never experienced before, especially compared to TV speakers. Amazing sound - room is 14X19. Pricey when you have to add a subwoofer and receiver but you get much better performance than other soundbars and added flexibility as well. I did not want to run wires or have speakers all over the room. This combination provides great sound that is very spacious. Very happy with this purchase. 9 out of 9 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Written By Christopher, Temecula, CA on Saturday, March 27, 2010 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I purchased the Mythos SSA-42 soundbar a couple of weeks ago and I'm glad I did. The setup was easy and the sound is great. This product produces great sound while listening to music and watching movies. I paired the soundbar with the Defenitive SuperCube III subwoofer and the two work well together. If you have a small to medium size room I highly recommend this product. 16 out of 19 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes | No 1 question already asked Can I use this loud speaker for a center channel speaker if I hook up only the center channel ports from my Sony 7.1 receiver to the loud speaker center channel ports? And use my existing surround back speakers and my sub woofer and my existing front left and right? May down grade to get rid of all my wires to sound bar. Will this work until I decide? [ Richard Jul 02, 2014 ] 4 answers I recently purchased the SSA-42. There are five separate speakers in the SSA-42. Each has its own connection knob for a speaker wire. If you don't hook up each speaker you aren't utilizing the whole soundbar. [ ROBERT Jul 02, 2014 ] I can't think of any reason why that wouldn't work. But, I would be sure to re-run the auto-calibration on your receiver with microphone in ideal listening area after setting up this soundbar as the new source of the center channel, as the frequency response won't be exactly the same as the center speaker that you are replacing. For the record, this sound bar has exceeded my expectations for providing all of the surround channels in my room, which would be very difficult to hard-wire surround speakers due to bookshelves, doorways, etc. The SSA-42 sounds amazing with my Sony mid-level surround receiver. Very powerful, clear, and convincing surround sound effect with that combo. [ Erik Jul 02, 2014 ] You can but only the center speakers will work defeating the purpose of the total sound from the sound bar. My suggestion would be if possible would be to the full function of the sound bar and use your front speakers as front height speakers. This will giv you a much larger sound field and fuller sound. [ ROBERT J Jul 02, 2014 ] Hi Richard, Yes!!! That is the beauty of this sound bar. Any configuration will work. Just remember, you will need to adjust the center channel speaker volume to match you other speakers. A few minutes at most. If you have a receiver that has a speaker calibration unit, no problem. It will do the work for you. If you have all five channels going to the sound bar, set everything to neutral. Then rock and roll. I could not be happier in my choice. It sounds so good, that I am surprised at films I have seen/heard dozens of time. New life! You will be impressed.
