Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 intro
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 was announced in January 2008, exactly one year after its predecessor, the enormously successful Lumix DMC-TZ3. The earlier TZ3 was arguably the perfect travel camera, a pocketable compact which managed to squeeze in nothing less than a 10x optical zoom lens complete with image stabilisation and a generous 3in screen. It was one of our favourite compacts of 2007, with pride of place in our Best Buys section and a justified best-seller.
The new Lumix TZ5 doesn't mess too much with a winning formula. It keeps the same 10x stabilised zoom with its useful 28-280mm equivalent coverage, but in a move which will delight many photographers, has reinstated the ability to optically zoom the lens while filming videos.
The screen remains 3in, but the resolution boosted from 230k to 460k pixels. This may not be as detailed as 920k displays with 640x480 pixels, but still represents a mid-way point between then and 230k screens. You can also now have music to accompany slideshows.
Like its other 2008 models, Panasonic has also equipped the TZ5 with its latest Intelligent Auto mode which combines a number of new and existing technologies to detect scenes, motion and adjust the sensitivity as required. This also includes Panasonic's own take on the dynamic range boosters seen on many recent DSLRs which reduce the exposure to preserve highlights, while brightening shadow areas. Interestingly Panasonic does this by actually adjusting the sensitivity in different parts of the sensor.
Which finally brings us to the sensor itself, which inevitably has an increase in resolution. Since noise was already an issue with its predecessor, it would be too much to hope that Panasonic made better use of its light gathering power, but of course marketing strategies dictate more Megapixels, so the 7.2 Megapixels of the earlier TZ3 have been increased to 9.1 on the new TZ5.
Interestingly like its predecessor, there's actually a higher resolution sensor in the body – a 10.7 Megapixel chip in the case of the TZ5 – but Panasonic only uses a smaller portion of it. This allows the camera to cleverly maintain its coverage across wider aspect ratios.
So by adding HD video, a more detailed screen and a cunning auto mode to what was already a winning model, has the best just got better? Or has Panasonic scored an own-goal by unnecessarily increasing the resolution and further compromising low light performance? Find out in our Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 review where we'll thoroughly test its image quality and the new features, while comparing it against its predecessor and rival models. And as always, for a demonstration of its key features, check out our Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ5 video tour.
Note: Panasonic launched the Lumix TZ5 alongside the slightly lower-end TZ4. The TZ4 is identical other than having 8.1 Megapixels, a 230k 2.5in screen and no HD recording facilities. Also note the Lumix TZ5 is known as the Lumix TZ15 in Asia, Australia and New Zealand; both models are identical other than the name.

Workers at a Whateley, Massachusetts farm are entitled to some $400,000 in back pay and damages, after working up to 90 hours a week on a weekly wage that amounted to less than the minimum wage. That's according to a suit filed by the U.S. Department of Labor this week. The department's investigation found that 14 workers at Chang and Sons Enterprises, located on Whateley's River Road, deserved $200,000 in back pay, and an equal amount in damages. Ted Fitzgerald is a spokesman for the Labor Department.
"Most of these workers were working about 90 hours per week, and they were planting, harvesting, processing, packaging bean sprouts and soy beans. These workers were not paid the required wages. Instead…they were being paid a flat salary, they were averaging about $350-$425 per week for working 90 hours a week. Essentially this put them below the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour."
The suit also seeks an injunction to prevent the future shipment of so-called "hot goods" by Chang & Sons. That would bar interstate shipping of produce that was harvested and processed in violation of federal minimum wage, overtime, or child labor provisions. Officials at Chang & Sons could not immediately be reached for comment.

Damiki DC- Series Crankbaits
The DC-Series Crankbaits from Damiki are an excellent finesse style crankbait to target shallow and mid range depths. The DC Crankbait features an exclusive weight slip design to increase casting distance and keep the crankbait in the strike zone longer. The Damiki DC- Series Crankbait also features a balancing weight in the belly to stabilize the bait and keep it from tumbling on the cast. The DC-100 series was designed to be fished in shallow water in the three to four foot depth range around light to heavy cover. The DC-200 is a mid water crankbait designed to be fished in the six to seven foot depth range and is ideal for fishing shallow cover that the DC-100 may miss.

Bryan Thrift threw the Damiki DC-100 (real shad) on the 7' medium Damiki Dark Angel rod in route to his first FLW Tour win at Lake Norman.
"I've been throwing with this rod for 2 years and it's hands-down the best crankbait rod I've ever touched. It has the perfect action - a little bit of a soft tip, but a lot of backbone. You can feel everything the crank's doing."

Customer Reviews
Comments: Justin, I want to say thank you for your support and if you have any problems with our products, please feel to contact us. We do stand behind our products and would like to take care of our customers.
From: Damiki Fishing Tackle: Brea, CA 7/30/15
Comments: SUCH A GOOD PLUG! All of them catch fish when other similiar plugs won't. It hunts, gets down where they live. I even catch suspended fish throwing a 300 in 15ft. Downside is the paint sucks bad. Even worse, the cracking on the seam. I buy 5 at a time and go through at least 2 a week. Wish they would work on their quality control.
From: Justin: TX 6/10/15
Comments: These are a great crankbait. Damiki has an obvious problem closing the gap where the line tie/hook eye enters. This is a problem with all of their baits, in retaining water. Also, they use the worst hooks I have ever found on a crankbait (not kidding). If you can manage to problem solve those two issues the DC-200 is a serious tourney level bait. Casts a mile, dives quickly into the strikezone.
From: Nate: WA
Comments: Great bait gfor smallmouth, BUT, have had 2 of them fill with water causing it to sink just from regular use, even before any fish were caught.
From: Dan: Canada
Comments: Great little bait. The bait casts like a rock. It dives quickly and just as deep as advertised. Its got good action for how compact the body is. The hooks are way too small, I did not hesitate to replace them with 2 sizes larger. When you are grinding this bait one the bottom make sure you are paying attention because it doesn't back out of cover as well as a lot of baits. I think due to buoyancy. Overall very happy with bait and price.
From: Nate: Pasco
Comments: just got these 2 of them last week(sun fish/ red craw) because they were cute?. I went fishing with it and i caught 5 large mouth bass in 3 hours just today. I normally catch like 3~4 bass in one day. Iwas so impressed about this cranbait. (I'm korean staying in michigan but didn't know this was korean product ( thought it was japanese company, when i bought it haha so proud of my country product!)
tackle warehouse should also get DC50!
From: Ki-eung: Novi, MI
Comments: just got two of the 200 series baits in the blue craw color.... crushed two 3.78 pound smallies on back to back casts... fished it for about 3 hours till i lost it to a hungry rock! One of the best cranks out... but fish it slow and steady..... no problems with paint ot chipping. I recommend it highly!
From: Kris: Durango, CO
Comments: I fish for a living, on three circuits and in 2011, I checked out in 22 of 26 events and every tournament I weighed in at least one fish from one of the Damiki DC series crankbaits. Yes it may need tuning and paint chips on everything that is plastic, but when you need to catch a fish the action and the reliability to put fish in the boat this series of crankbaits are second to none. They are a little pricey but if you are making money throwing one they are going to be the bonus you need every outing.
From: J: GA
Comments: This bait will catch fish but they are very finicky as far as the way they run. The paint schemes look awesome but the quality of the paint jobs are horrible. The paint will peel off in a matter of few hours on the shad color. Even faster if your catching fish. Be ready to send these to your crankbait painter after the first outing!!
From: Mac: Lynchburg, VA
Comments: I would warn anyone thinking of buying this bait to do so with caution. I received the DC-100 as a birthday gift last year and had very high hopes for it. The bait is very unique as it is much smaller and "egg"shaped when compared to other cranks. However, the DC-100 ran like total crap out of the box. It wasn't tuned in the slightest bit. I casted it out and it ran in complete circles basically. A friend has the DC-200 has caught a couple fish using it, but for the price you'd bet better suited but a Little John. If you are considering buying this lure, get it from a store instead of online; that way you can check the line tie to see if it's bent out of shape. Bottom line is if i buy a lure i expect it to run true right out of the box, and the DC-100 wasn't even close.
From: Matt: North Haven, CT
Comments: Bought 4 of these in the Black Friday sale. Already had a couple so knew what incredible action they have. Colors are outrageous.
From: Patrick: Kansas City, MO
Comments: I was disappointed when i first tied this bait on at just how off the bait was "tuned". I had to really work the line tie to get it to swim straight. This bait has an intense wobble that you can really feel in the rod, and you have to retrieve it at a slow pace to keep it from rolling. The finish is great, and the size is small and compact. Casts a mile.
Comments: Great crankbait. Pulled a few keeper smallmouth on the Ayu color here in the Missouri Ozarks before hanging it up on a stump.
From: Paul: Waynesville, MO

Sportsmen Show Kicks Off
Hundreds of people in Yakima are gathering at the SunDome for a weekend-long sportsmen exhibit.
It's part of the 24th annual Central Washington Sportmen Show.
The event showcases the latest hunting, fishing and outdoor supplies available on the market.
We spoke a local gunshop owner about President Obama's latest amendment to background checks -- who says he isn't happy with the latest changes.
"It seems like every time there's a change, they want more and more and more," said Oak Creek ACE Hardware manager Jason Christianson, "But as a Second Amendment, you can sell your guns to who you wish. That is something that is preserved right now and I think it should stay how it is."
The Sportsmen Show runs from today through Sunday.

Become a Conservationist!
By Dave White, Chief of USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service
I just spoke to a great group of folks celebrating Earth Day here at the National Mall in Washington, D.C. It was a pleasure having a chat with so many people, including Congressional Representatives, who are excited about conserving and protecting our country's natural resources.
At USDA's Natural Resources Conservation Service we've been helping people become good stewards of soil, water, air, and wildlife habitat for 75 years, and never any time in our history have we seen so many people stepping up and making a commitment to conservation.
We do most of our work with folks in agriculture, but even if you're not a farmer or a rancher we've got you covered. If you have a backyard or just a couple of flower pots in your kitchen window, we can help turn you into a conservationist. Our Backyard Conservation Web page is absolutely alive with great information that I know you'll enjoy.
Come on down and visit us on the Mall (we're at the end closest to the Washington Monument), and check out our special demonstrations on soils.
Make Earth Day every day!

Sustainability Disaster Recovery ConferenceEvent Details: November 14 - November 15, Busch Student Center, Wool Ballroom, 20 N. Grand Blvd., Rooms 170-173, Lower Level, St. Louis, MO, 63103
Saint Louis University's Center for Sustainability, in collaboration with Greensburg GreenTown and GreenTown Joplin, will present the second annual Sustainable Disaster Recovery Conference Thursday, Nov. 14 and Friday, Nov. 15, in the Wool Ballroom at SLU's Busch Student Center, 20 N. Grand.
All University faculty and staff can register for the student rate of $40, with a valid SLU ID at check-in.
The first Sustainable Disaster Recovery Conference was a great success. Approximately 200 people — ranging from students to government officials and industry professionals — attended a wide variety of educational sessions focused on weaving the principles of sustainability and energy-efficiency into disaster recovery efforts.
Building on the success of the inaugural year, the 2013 conference will continue the exploration of sustainable disaster recovery with added emphases on sustainable approaches to pre-disaster planning, emergency response, long-term recovery, and community resilience.
The two-day conference will bring together leaders in the fields of disaster response and recovery, government, urban planning, emergency management, design, renewable energy, public and private enterprise, green building, social work and sustainability. It features an impressive line-up of speakers and exhibitors eager to share experiences and resources to help cities and towns prepare for disasters and, in the event that the "unthinkable" happens, rebuild sustainable communities that are as efficient as they are resilient.
The conference features two keynote speakers:
- Lisa LaDue, Assistant Director of Field Education, School of Social Work, Colorado State University, will discuss personal and community resilience in the face of widespread casualties and destruction.
- Steve Hewitt, former city administrator of Greensburg, Kansas, will discuss integrating sustainable disaster response and recovery contingencies into pre-disaster community plans.
Plenary panels and breakout sessions will cover an array of topics including:
- The role of government in sustainable disaster response and recovery, featuring representatives from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), National Renewable Energy Lab (NREL), and the Federal Emergency Management Association (FEMA).
- The integration of sustainable development principles and resiliency into community rebuilding, featuring leaders and administrators from disaster-stricken towns such as Oklahoma City, OK; Breezy Point, NY; and West Liberty, Kentucky.
- Green building and integrating resilience into rebuilding projects including representatives from the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Drury University Hammons School of Architecture.
- Grassroots disaster planning and sustainable long-term recovery featuring representatives from the United Way, American Red Cross, St. Louis County Police Department, and the Missouri State Emergency Management Agency.
- The use of social media in sustainable disaster recovery.
- Preparedness and sustainable recovery from floods, fires, and earthquakes.
- Planning and financing sustainable recovery projects.
The full program, along with registration links and venue information is available online.

EBay's RedLaser app now includes local deals and in-store mapping.
Kevin Woodward
Consumers using the RedLaser app from eBay Inc. will now find local offers from retailers such as Best Buy Co. Inc., Toys 'R' Us Inc. and Sears Holding Corp. in the app.
EBay updated the mobile commerce app this week with a new Local Deals tab, and other functions like the ability to clip coupons, view weekly circulars, receive push notification alerts when in a store that has RedLaser offers, and interact with in-store mapping of Walgreen Co. and some The Home Depot Inc. locations.
Consumers can use the RedLaser app in a variety of ways. The opening page of the app suggests products, including recommendations based on prior product searches after first use. They also can tap to see the day's top deals and offers near their locations. Other options include scanning a product bar code and searching by keyword or image.
To take advantage of the Local Deals function, consumers can browse for nearby deals by tapping a button labeled "Browse deals around you." Doing so opens a page with a small map of nearby participating retailers and a list, from nearest to farthest, to select from. Selecting a retailer on the list opens a new page with details about the store, including its available weekly ads, in-store coupons, online offers and an in-store map, if available. Once the in-store map is open, the consumer can search for a product; if the product is available, a pin will then appear on the map to display its location.
RedLaser also can display online product search results, and consumers can make purchases on a retailer's e-commerce site within the RedLaser app. Consumers also can use PayPal Mobile Express Checkout to buy products within the app from select retailers, such as Target Corp., Toys 'R' Us, Sears and Best Buy. The prices of those items have a green background. Other prices have no colored background.
Of course, consumers can view eBay search results within RedLaser. To make an eBay purchase, the consumer taps the item in RedLaser, which opens the eBay app.
To use a coupon, the consumer displays the coupon within the RedLaser app and shows it to a cashier who either scans a bar code on the coupon image or enters a code found on the coupon. For online purchases, the consumer must enter the coupon code upon checkout.
Consumers also can activate the store alerts function in the app to receive push notifications of offers when they are inside stores. The function relies on geofencing to determine the location of the smartphone. That may abet some retailer anxiety of consumer use of smartphones inside of stores, especially for showrooming, in which a consumer visits a store to view a product but purchases it from an online retailer while in a store.
"RedLaser's local shopping update is part of eBay's move from e-commerce to all of commerce," says Rob Veres, RedLaser general manager. "Shoppers can opt-in to receive notifications when they are in or near stores that have deals available. This allows retailers to engage and transact with their consumers when they are in-store."
These latest RedLaser features are available only in the iOS version of the app, but eBay expects to update the Android and Windows Phone versions, a spokeswoman says. Versions of the app have been downloaded 26 million times and contain information on more than 38 million products, eBay says.

We've got another selloff in the markets for gold and bonds this morning amid a fresh bout of Federal Reserve "taper" worries. Noted dove and Chicago Fed President Charles Evans is due to speak at 1 p.m.
What we don't have is much of a fear signal from some of the most heavily traded offshoots of the equity market.
This morning, Susquehanna Financial's derivatives strategist Trevor S. Mottl has his eye on what looks like a yawn from traders of options contracts on the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY) as they look toward September. Specifically, options expiring on Sept. 6 and Sept. 21 — the period sandwiching a closely watched Federal Open Market Committee meeting — are pricing in what he calls "minimal event risk."
Next month, after all, is supposed to be the earliest point at which the Fed might start the dreaded "taper," meaning the beginning of central bankers' eventual scale-back of the asset purchases that have goosed the stock and bond markets for several years.
Stock traders worried about this? Nope.
You see much the same lack of worry in the CBOE Volatility Index, which is ahead by 5% this morning, at 12.47. So-called implied volatility for the S&P is below the 25th percentile versus its history, according to Susquehanna's figures. The year-to-date loss in ProShares Ultra VIX Short-Term Futures exchange-traded fund (UVXY), Barclays iPath S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX), and VelocityShares Daily 2x VIX Short-Term ETN (TVIX), three heavily traded short-term betting tools, are in the range of 55%-84%.
So, if you think there's reason to worry, protection via the options market is cheap. Just keep in mind this hedge is a form of market timing, which is a tough thing to do well.
(For investors interested in the details of Susquehanna's review of options contracts in this morning's note: "September 6 expiry, SPY 171 puts had an implied mid-market volatility of 10.25%, slightly lower than the 10.55% mid-market implied volatility for the September 21 expiry SPY 171 put.")

"I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round, as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable time; the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys." ~Charles Dickens

"I work in a law firm and have a standing desk half of the day. I ordered these shoes to replace a pair of danskos, and they are PERFECT. I have HIGH arches and prefer that my shoes fit like they were made for me, and these definitely were. Cute, stylish, and light weight, I can wear these with anything to the office, even on our jeans days. When I tried them on at home yesterday, I forgot I was wearing them, they were so comfortable! Definitely a great buy."

Excellent support
"I've been wearing the tan/taupe shade in this wonderful Merrell Clog for the last few weeks. It is so comfortable that I figured I better get the black one before it was sold out. The lip on the heel counter was my only concern but it is fine. I can see why this clog is approved by the American Podiatric Medical Association. The support is unbelievable.I'm walking with a big smile. Thanks DSW"

Super duper comfy, just order a whole size up
"I bought these for work, which I'll be wearing professional slacks and will be on feet almost all day. Haven't wore them to work yet, but did walk around the house in these shoes and was in the kitchen cooking. Since I won't be running around (hopefully not a lot anyway) at work I think these pairs will be perfect. Its made out of a flexible material, has cushion inside, and a little bit of heel for support. And my pants will be covering the upper part of the shoe so won't show the slip-on side too much.My normal shoe size is between 6 and 6.5. I did order 6.5 after reading many online reviews, and I kinda wish I ordered a size 7, but then again I am not sure how the width around my feet would've worked. I am fine with 6.5 for my purpose, since this is more of a slipper."

Love these!
"I bought these shoes to take on vacation and they were the best. First they were easy to slip on/off when going through security, they are stretchy so if your feet swell up on long flights they are still very comfy. They are super lightweight so it feels like you are walking on air and if you need to pack them they will not add much weight to your bag. I got several compliments on how cute they were. My only complaint is I wish they had more colors!"

Brandon Tri-Star Storm to represent Canada at NORCECA junior women's volleyball championship July 5-10 in Tijuana
OTTAWA – The Brandon Tri-Star Storm will trade in their pink jerseys for Team Canada's red and white at the NORCECA (North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation) junior women's volleyball championship set for July 5-10 in Tijuana, Mexico.
The Tri-Storm won their second straight women's national 18U championship last month in Abbotsford, B.C., and will field a 10-member team led by head coach Derek Richels for the 10-country tournament, which is also a qualifier for next year's world junior championships.
This Tri-Star Storm squad has been together for two years and was also the Canadian National Champions in the 17U division in 2009.
The team members are: left siders Lisa Barclay and Jen Dixon of Brandon; middles Erika Buchanan of Shoal Lake and Angelica Quiring , Meaghan Robertson and Courtney Roberts, all of Brandon; right siders Sarah Didychuk and Samantha Hutcheson of Brandon; libero Chloe Reimer of Sanford, Man., and setters Mary Thomson of Brandon and Brittany Habing of Winnipeg.
Head coach is Derek Richels of Brandon while Bryce Wilson is the assistant coach and Kevin Neufeld of Brandon is the team manager.
''The team is really excited about this unique opportunity,'' said Neufeld. ''We've accomplished some great things over the last couple of years and we are looking forward to this new challenge.''
Canada is in Pool A with the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica. Canada's first round robin match is Monday July 5 against Costa Rica followed by a July 7 encounter against the Dominican. The top-two in each of the three pools advances to the playoffs. The quarterfinals are July 8, the semis July 9 and the final July 10.
The B pool team members are Puerto Rico, Trinidad and Tobago and Cuba and the C pool teams are the U.S., El Salvador, Mexico and Guadeloupe.
Note: The Tri- Star Storm was given the Order of Sports Excellence from the Province of Manitoba at the Manitoba Volleyball Association awards earlier this month in Winnipeg.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
The Huntington City January city council meeting started off with a public hearing held for the purpose of discussing an application to the CIB for funds to cover 50 percent of the cost of improvements to the south side of 400 North between 400 West and 550 West and to 300 East between 300 North and 400 North. Projected cost of the project is approximately $450,000.
Residents of the areas spoke in favor of the projects. It seems both areas have water concerns after big rainstorms. All residents that spoke at the hearing were in favor of the improvements if money can be obtained. The City Council was generally in favor of proceeding with the process necessary to obtain a grant.
Dawayne Johnson came before the city council to complain about a humming noise that runs consistently at the Maverik store in Huntington. Johnson lives just south of the store and states that the noise "invades his privacy and rattles his windows." He wants a solution.
The noise comes from a burner that is supposed to run from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily but often runs during the night. The burner is necessary to keep water from invading the gas.
The Maverik area manager was in attendance and stated that Maverik wants to be a good neighbor and that they have already insulated the shed and fixed the reset on the burner. They will also install a battery backup for the times power is lost. Maverik will try to resolve the issue.
Huntington City requested and received three bids to replace the furnace in the town hall. After looking at the specs and prices of bids placed by Dugmore Heating, Rams Industries and Anderson Heating, Anderson Heating was awarded the bid.
Business licenses were granted to Jesse Nielson for JN Auto, to Bret and Marlene Fausett for JC'S Spud Works, to JB Oviatt for Oviatt's Computer Barn and to Matt Anderson for Anderson Heating and Air.
Changes were also discussed for improvements at the rodeo grounds for lighting. The city has remaining CIB money that must be used at the rodeo facility and the city had five local contractors pick up bid packages.
The Mayor Hilary Gordon handed out assignments to the city councilmen: Jeff Cowley will head parks and recreation and Easter, Julie Jones will oversee the cemetery, youth council, economic development, Mark Justice wil be in charge of beautification, rodeo grounds and Christmas, Travis Larsen will supervise the fire department, water, safety and the Heritage Days fun run and Jerry Livingston will head roads, planning and zoning and dogs. Mayor Gordon will oversee all departments and take care of Heritage Days, personnel and office employees, Castle Valley Special Service District, AOG and Council of governments.

Klantenreviews - Verenigde Staten
Hey guys - just wanted to post a quick comment regarding the GPS functionality issues I was having.
For the most part, this app is pretty good. I have experienced crashing when adding golfers or starting a round (but relaunching the app then work), and over the course of a round, it doesn't leave much battery power left. But it's a great way to keep a scorecard for all my buddies and also get accurate yardage readings. The design is really nice and well done, but I can't find a way to make note on when I used a Hybrid club (it only lists irons and woods).
love the stats you get with this app. also love the ability to travel anywhere in the U.S. and use golfshot. accurate yardage reads when you give it a few seconds to update.
has always found any course I have played. very easy to use. Love the driving distance feature. Sending it to my pro helps us plan practice strategy. I use it more for keeping track of my game than for distances during the round, but those work great as well. I recommend to anyone who is serious about their game and wants to track the stats in order to improve.
This is awesome in all ways besides the gps taking a while to load your distances properly and i wish it would just let u input scores after your round
I love golfshot. It conveniently allows me to record key stats, and the GPS yardages match the other much more expensive golf range finders. The only negative is that you MUST start the round with a full charge, and utilize the Power saver mode with GPS active to finish your round. If you turn off the Iphone between shots it takes too long to re-aquire the sattelites and get an accurate yardage. I also bought an extra battery extender and keep it in my bag. Otherwise - great product.
This is my first Golf GPS'er. It has worked very well for me, well worth the price!
After about 20 rounds, I find the yardage is accurate but I have to wait for it. I often tee off last waiting for the GPS to acquire a signal and then display the yardage to the dogleg. This is totally frustrating. In the fairway, I find myseld using the course yardage markers more than the app. Also, often is does include an ariel view of selected holes. I guess you get what you pay for - for $30 bucks it's OK but if you need and want accurate yardage right now invest in a $250 -300 real one.
Great program. easy to use. Update added some great new features like starting hole. Still has a bug that resets handicap to fictitiuos number if not playing full round. I am sure they will correct that soon.
I've had iPhones for close to two years and this is by far my favorite application. I initially bought trial golf GPS and scoring applications but each had, in my opinion, at least one major flaw. Golfshot is extremely easy to use and all of the dozens of courses I've played have all had accurate yardages provided (only exception was a nine hole run at Riverview Highlands). The GPS course selection function has worked flawlessly so that I don't have to stumble around getting a round started, especially when I'm pressed for time. Interractive arial touch screen is very helpful and easy to use, especially for blind shots. I really like being able to review all of my scorecards and statistics very quickly and easilly. Quickly entering scores on the green is so much nicer than fumbling around with a paper scorecard. I've also had no problems with battery drain issues. Value is exceptional!
I have used this application 10 rounds now and am very pleased with the purchase. Have compared distances with my Garmin GolfLogix hand held, as well as with golf cart installed GPS, and have found it to be within 2-3 yards of those two devices. Who is to say which is exact, but close enough for a 9 handicapper to pick the correct club for the correct distance. The scorecard application and stat tracking are now invaluable to me, detailing areas of my game to work on at the range. I would buy this application again in a heart beat.
Faster than a scope. More features than a GPS range finder. Able to pinpoint your position and the distance to your next, best shot in a single bound. What more can you ask for from a golf sidekick? It's like having Steve Williams at your side guiding you -- and then emailing your scorecard to you so you can track your scores, mistakes and overall performance so you fine tune your game. Gameshot is the best. Nothing else comes close for the price.
This app helps me on the course by letting me know the correct yardage from tee to green and to all the hazards. The arial views are amazing and being able to customize your layup distances with the distance you hit your irons is so very important to scoring better. The analysis part of the program has helped me focus on what areas I need to improve upon. Since buying this app a year ago my handicap has gone from 11.5 down to 8. It's an incredibly reliable tool and easy to use.
I've had my IPhone and GolfShotGPS for 9 months and have played over 30 rounds at many different courses. I'm 100% sold on the GolfShotGPS App. My buddies have either Sky Caddy or Golf Buddy. My yardages are either spot on with theirs or no more than 1 or 2 yds difference. Also, 99% of the courses that I play were already in the database. The two that weren't, were added within 48 hours of me requesting them! Great Customer Service!!!
I had ViewTi Golf & this blows it away. They have a great PDF manual. I'd suggest reading it to take full advantage of the app. I've only played 2 rounds with it but can't think of anything missing that I would want other than to be able to post my score with it so I don't have to do it in the club house. Great app & great documentation. I haven't needed tech support because it has all the courses I play. I do have 1 request. When entering your score it would be great to have the option of not always defaulting to par (especially when you have a big score on a hole) when entering a golf shot. Please give the option to have it default to Par or keep you last shot entered. Getting picky but had a bad day on the course and it would have been great to help remember my score. Still my favorite Golf GPS app by far.
Great app. Would like to have capability for app to track club used for approach shots into greens and track if you miss greens right, left, long, and short. Thanks.
This is by FAR the best app I've come across! Turn it on... hit Play Golf... select your course at the top of the screen, and you're playing. It's that easy. Yardages are VERY accurate on all the courses I've played. Stats need some improvement, but that isn't GolfShot's issue ;-)

This is a great app, I have 3 golf gps apps altogether this is my go to golf app, easy to use accurate and I enjoy using it, not complicated at all, a must have app, keep up the good work.
Golfshot seems to use more battery life than GolfLogix. I even purchased an exterior battery and it still runs out before 18. Also, I wish it would beep or do something to let you know it had settled on a distance. Since I turn lock it to conserve battery, it takes about a minute to settle on the accurate distance - this serves to slow down the game. The distances seem to be accurate once it settles down and it is easy to read and keep score.
Best app ever! Why would anyone waste money on a 300-400$ gps or rangefinder when this is far better and always updated! Don't know what j would do without it.
A little too busy to punch input. Perhaps 'save' could be automatic as punch next hole.
This is a terrific app for the price. A little slow and innaccurate a few times. Otherwise it's great.

Great Buy
"The comfort of this shoe is reason enough to purchase it. The aesthetic is just a bonus. The leather was of good quality, its darker color is perfect when wearing a dark charcoal or blue suit. The only thing I did not care too much for was the black rubber sole. I feel that if I'm going to buy a brown shoe, I'd like the entire shoe to be some shade of brown. But if you're looking for an affordable, stylish shoe that can be dressed up or down, this is it."

Boosting Your Immune System
By Drs. Rick and Jan Hanson
QSince having kids, I've been getting colds much more often, plus I developed a chronic rash that my doctor says is an autoimmune condition. Why is this happening to me? And what can I do?
We're very sorry that all this seems linked to becoming a mother - yet you're far from alone since studies have shown that bearing and rearing children gyrate the immune system in a number of ways, leading to increased colds and flus and more risk for autoimmune conditions.
Happily, there are things you can really do to strengthen your immune system so it is more able to fight off pesky invaders, and less likely to over-react and attack your body (i.e., an autoimmune illness). (Of course, this column is not meant to give advice about any particular condition.)
The approaches we're about to mention are all backed up by research (see our website for the references), but they may seem a little technical.Hang in there, and there's lots more info and back-up in chapter 5 of our book, Mother Nurture, which contains a thorough, research-based discussion of how to stay optimally healthy while raising a family.
A Solid Foundation
Second, try to get lots of deep sleep.
Third, keep the overall load on your immune system as low as possible - by minimizing your exposure to toxins, allergens (including foods to which you are sensitive), or infection - so that it is not already burdened when new challenges come along.
Now, on this foundation, let's look at a range of specific options for strengthening and balancing your immune system.

Luongo will be in camp; agent blasts Mike Gillis
Cam Charron
July 26 2013 10:17AM
There aren't very many ways that this Roberto Luongo saga can end. For the second consecutive year, questions surrounding Roberto's future will be the centre of discussion at Canucks training camp, but for now, it appears he'll be there.
Turns out, Luongo won't go the "walk away from the team and have my contract voided and lose the remaining $40-million on my deal" route. New agent Pat Brisson yesterday confirmed that Luongo would at least be at camp, and for the foreseeable future, Luongo is the Vancouver Canucks' starting goalie.
That caused a bit of a ripple online, especially as Luongo got back into the Twitter game:
Hey @eddielack I'm warning you now! Don't get any ideas this upcoming season!!! Got it???— Strombone (@strombone1) July 25, 2013
In other Luongo news, the embattled goaltender's former agent Gilles Lupien took a call from Tamarack, Ontario to talk to Globe and Mail reporter Roy MacGregor. Lupien had some harsh words for Mike Gillis, criticizing the way that Gillis handled the Luongo situation:
"It's okay to say you're going to trade someone," he says, " but then trade him. If I want to sell my car, and I want to get a good price for it, I don't say my car is always in the garage. There's something wrong with it. No one will want to buy it. You either say your car is the best car you ever had – or you say nothing."
It would be ridiculous to suggest that Gillis hasn't mishandled this thing from Day 1, and the Canucks goaltender controversy goes all the way back to Game 3 of the Western Conference Quarterfinals in 2012 against the Los Angeles Kings, when then-coach Alain Vigneault all but decided that down 0-2 in the series, a chance of starting goaltenders was necessary.
At the draft that year, Gillis suggested he was the problem, and the reason a deal was being held up. For close to a year, Gillis kept talking about some Mystery Team that had the prerequisite need for a starting goaltender and sufficient salary cap space and financial resources, despite no such team existing in the NHL. Trading Cory Schneider never seemed to be an option for whatever reason, despite that being the eventual course of action.
In a funky twist of fate, the only person involved with the Luongo situation to see negative financial ramifications is Gilles Lupien, for whatever reason. We can be happy knowing that we have potentially nine more years of Luongo, and nine more training camps speculating about his future. It was mishandled from the start and reflects poorly upon Gillis and Laurence Gilman who tried to sell their car through the media and simply didn't. The addition of Mystery Teams certainly didn't help.
But there are a lot of moving pieces. I'm still not convinced cap recapture is what caused Luongo to become untradeable, the Toronto Maple Leafs' change of personnel and philosophical shift didn't help, even though I was never convinced that the Canucks and Maple Leafs were good trading partners. There's a lot to ruminate about this process, but we have a lot of time to do that.
As for the "walk away" route, it could still happen next season. The Canucks also still have one compliance buy-out they can use next offseason, so there are still ways it can end. With the team's public unwillingness to deal Schneider, the process looks remarkably botched from the outside, and it was never fair to let a human being suffer in that regard.
"If the cap-benefit recapture clause had existed in the last CBA, the Luongo deal wouldn't extend as long as it does not because all parties expect Luongo to retire before his contract is up, but because it's merely a possibility."
How exactly do you think the contract would have been structured then?
Luongo was getting his money one way or the other.
If you want to ignore the last 4 years of the deal when the money tapers off, it is an 8 year $57 million contract.
The cap hit would have been $7.125/year.
Something tells me the Canucks prefer the interest free loan.
It's not "good" accounting. It's "proper" accounting.
I respect Tom Tango a lot but I disagree with him on this issue.
The league approved the deal. If the government thought you were evading taxes it wouldn't let you continue to do what you are doing with its stamp of approval. It would stop the process immediately and demand payment. If the league acted in this manner, the contract never would have existed.
As for the tax/interest deferral argument. When you defer payments you do so with the intention of paying them back in the future. None of the teams that signed these agreements did so with that expectation.
This is more like the government making changes to the tax code that burden tax payers for previously made decisions.
"When you defer payments you do so with the intention of paying them back in the future. None of the teams that signed these agreements did so with that expectation."
So then these teams were actively engaged in cap circumventing practices, right?
Weren't these teams intentionally trying to get away with not paying taxes?
The Canucks and other teams really don't have a legitimate argument here.
Unless they want to admit they were handing out contracts that went against the spirit of the old CBA.
Putting aside Tango's point and our feelings as Canuck fans, cap recapture seems like a perfectly fair way to ensure the books are (eventually) balanced.
The Canucks aren't getting screwed. Benefit received in the present will merely be recaptured in the future.
And it's more than a fair tradeoff. By the time cap recapture impacts the Canucks, the cap will be north of $80 million.
The actual percentage of the total cap will be limited.
Would you have preferred Luongo signing an 8/57 deal with a $7.125 cap hit?
There wouldn't have been any cap room for Ballard :)
I think Vancouver and the other teams involved thought they were working within the legal framework that the league agreed to with the players.
No team would've signed those contracts with prior knowledge that this would be the result.
To argue that the cap recapture rule does not harm the clubs that signed the contracts, you would have to argue that the teams would still be willing to sign them now that they are aware of the rule. I don't think you can argue that even one team would.
"To argue that the cap recapture rule does not harm the clubs that signed the contracts, you would have to argue that the teams would still be willing to sign them now that they are aware of the rule. I don't think you can argue that even one team would."
I assume you mean that IF these clubs could still sign Luongo-like contracts, right?
In any case, I completely disagree.
Why wouldn't NHL teams want an interest free loan that would be paid back when the cap is significantly higher?
GMs in particular would be in favour of this. After all, what are the chances Gillis is around when Luongo's cap hit is recaptured?
There is one team and one team only that should be excessively pissed and it's not Vancouver:
The Devils did what Detroit, Vancouver and other teams did, albeit to a greater extreme, and were the only team actually "punished", I'd argue.
I'm slowly coming around on this and I can see why some GMs might want to do this but I still think it was outside the scope of the old CBA. I don't think anybody saw this coming in 2009.
FWIW, I think the deferred payment analogy is better than the interest free loan analogy.
I think all GMs would do this if they had the ability with the new CBA.
For example, I'm sure Ray Shero would love to defer payment (see what I did there) on any or all of Crosby, Malkin or Letang.
An extra $5 million, for example, this season with a $64 million cap is far more valuable than $5 million in 2019-2020 with a $80+ million cap.
Not to mention that GMs have a shelf life and care more about the current cap situation as opposed to the cap situation 5-10 years down the road...
My only point is that of course Luongo's retirement would have been taken into account by Canucks management in the sense of "even if he doesn't play through to the end of the contract, it's no-risk". The league just threw that on its head. Do you really think the Canucks would sign a contract like that wherein they'd risk a significant cap hit if Luongo were to retire a year or two before his deal was done?
I absolutely believe the Canucks still would have done that type of contract even if present day cap benefit would be recaptured in the future.
For starters, Gillis would receive the benefit while, in all likelihood, another GM would have received the "punishment".
Also, by the time the cap benefit is recaptured the cap may very well be over $80 million.
Do you really think Gillis expected to be the GM 10 years after the ink had dried?
Even with cap recapture I believe most if not all GMs would love to have the ability to offer backdiving contracts if the new CBA allowed it.
Gillis isn't the only one signing cheques. A contract like this, Aquillini has a hand in it without a doubt. Do you think HE would sign off on this?
I'm not saying it wouldn't have been a back diving contract, but I would bet ridiculous amounts of dollars that the last few years of that contract would not be on there. As soon as the ink was dry people would be pointing out the stupidity of signing a contract like this precisely because it handcuffs the Canucks later.
If Gillis signed this exact contract in the hypothetical "last CBA including cap recapture" scenario, the deal would've been received with even more people unhappy with the deal, and likewise fewer people happy with it. It would legitimately be a complaint that if Luongo were to retire that the Canucks would be stuck with the cap recapture hit.
This isn't just proper accounting, it's a "don't screw with the league" warning from the NHL.
"I would bet ridiculous amounts of dollars that the last few years of that contract would not be on there."
Luongo was getting his money one way or another.
Sure, he may have been willing to lop off the last 4 years and $7 million.
But he still would have received the first 8 years and $57 million, wouldn't he? He was never giving a home town discount.
"This isn't just proper accounting, it's a "don't screw with the league" warning from the NHL."
Just be happy we only got a warning while the Devils legitimately received punishment :)
"Just be happy we only got a warning while the Devils legitimately received punishment :)"
