Since our inception in 2009, we've been committed to crafting the finest carbon fiber tripods, and our Mark 2 line is a testament to this dedication. The TVC-34 Mk2 is a perfect blend of high-quality craftsmanship and innovative design, a compact, standard-height Versa Series 3 tripod, meticulously engineered to fit inside most airline-approved carry-on bags when collapsed and with head & feet removed. Despite its lightweight construction at only 4.4 pounds, this tripod is capable of supporting a hefty 50 pounds, making it an ideal choice for wildlife photography and telephoto lenses up to 800mm.Our Mark 2 tripods have been enhanced with improved ergonomics for a more comfortable and seamless operation. The addition of 1/4"-20 sockets along the tripod's apex allows for the attachment of optional accessories and shoulder-strap mounts, increasing its versatility. We've also redesigned the twist-locks to prevent contamination from grit and debris, ensuring longevity and smooth operation. A unique vent at the top of each leg facilitates efficient air transfer when extending or collapsing the tripod, allowing for rapid deployment and takedown. The TFC-34 Mk2, a variant of the TVC-34, swaps the Versa apex for a fixed apex. While the fixed apex cannot be used with accessories like a quick-column, it offers a smaller diameter pack size than the TVC-34.

Never before have we cared so much about food. It preoccupies our popular culture, our fantasies, and even our moralizing—“You still eat meat?” With our top chefs as deities and finest restaurants as places of pilgrimage, we have made food the stuff of secular seeking and transcendence, finding heaven in a mouthful. But have we come any closer to discovering the true meaning of food in our lives?   With inimitable charm and learning, Adam Gopnik takes us on a beguiling journey in search of that meaning as he charts America’s recent and rapid evolution from commendably aware eaters to manic, compulsive gastronomes. It is a journey that begins in eighteenth-century France—the birthplace of our modern tastes (and, by no coincidence, of the restaurant)—and carries us to the kitchens of the White House, the molecular meccas of Barcelona, and beyond. To understand why so many of us apparently live to eat, Gopnik delves into the most burning questions of our time, including: Should a Manhattanite bother to find chicken killed in the Bronx? Is a great vintage really any better than a good bottle of wine? And: Why does dessert matter so much?   Throughout, he reminds us of a time-honored truth often lost amid our newfound gastronomic pieties and certitudes: What goes on the table has never mattered as much to our lives as what goes on around the table—the scene of families, friends, lovers coming together, or breaking apart; conversation across the simplest or grandest board. This, ultimately, is who we are.   Following in the footsteps of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin, Adam Gopnik gently satirizes the entire human comedy of the comestible as he surveys the wide world of taste that we have lately made our home. The Table Comes First is the delightful beginning of a new conversation about the way we eat now.

Whoever wants to dominate the world of cockfighting must have known about the importance of acquiring the finest gamefowls in the first place. That’s the basic as well as the most important requirement. That’s about trying to build one’s stuff on a solid foundation. But it doesn’t have to stop from there. To have acquired the best breeding materials is not the end in itself. In fact, it is just the beginning. Breeding is supposed to be a simple thing like putting in two gamefowls together and get offspring. Anyone, with or without breeding background, can simply do that kind of thing. But knowing how to breed well is a cut above the rest. This book, therefore, aims to educate, for the most part, the ordinary “rooster man” or sabongero, as well as the neophyte gamefowl breeder, on the proper gamefowl genetics selection, pros and cons of different gamefowl breeding methods, and my personal bias on the best breeding method involving gamefowls.
