I've had good luck with the Block and Block Fusion. Also heard & read good things on the Spyderweb target.
Spyder web targets are one of the most expensive. The blob is another, then the block. We make most of our own. For the simple reason they all were out after a while of shooting. Except the Spyder web, but at the price of them who can afford them.

Whatever you do, stay away from the $20 styrofoam target wrapped in a plastic covering. I got one at Dick's because I was new and didn't know any better, and after 40 shots I had pass throughs and had to go find the arrows in the grass behind the target. They also catch a lot of wind and blow around and fall over quite a bit.

yup i agree with u there money ,them dang things arent worth the plastic garbage bag there wrapped in when u get it , its a shoot it once throw away bag i have had pretty good luck with the block and red head brands they dont last forever , and its always good to keep a old one for a back up
you could make one i made one with old cotton clothing stuffed in a box stopps my arrows at 10 feet shooting a 400gr arrow at 318fps
You might also consider American Whitetail Archery Targets (http://www.archerytargets.com/). I bought one of their bag targets after talking with the owner and have not regretted it. It's filled with cloth pieces and stops arrows quite nicely and removing arrows is really easy. And if/when you put enough holes in the bag cover you can order a replacement cover, slip it over the old one and keep on using the target - you don't have to discard it and buy another. They also make a good and affordable, multiple density vertical layered foam target for broadheads that holds up well and doesn't shred badly.

Gold Tip Velocity XT300 arrows with Bi-Delta 2.5" Sharkstooth vanes and Grizzly single-bevel broadheads, 498 grains at 262 fps (22% FOC)
What my friend and I have both used is the yellow bag you get at Wal-Mart. I believe it's a BushMaster. Deer's head on one side and 9 or 12 circles on the other. Cost is about $25 and are pretty durable. They've served us well with a lot of practice at 10-60yds.

INGLEWOOD, Calif. (Nov. 27, 2009) — Fluke made a dramatic late run under jockey Joe Talamo to score an emotional upset victory for the barn of the late Hall of Fame trainer Bobby Frankel in Friday's $300,000 Citation Handicap at Hollywood Park.
The Brazilian-bred was saddled by Frankel's long-time assistant Humberto Ascanio, who sent out many stakes horses during a 35-year stint with the legendary horsemen, but not in his own name.
Ascanio, who officially took over Frankel's stable at Hollywood Park following the trainer's death from lymphoma on Nov. 16, was the trainer of record and earned his first stakes win in the Grade I event.
The gathering in the winner's circle was a happy one for Ascanio and his family, including his wife Maureen and 15-month old grandson Jonathan, whom he held in his arms for the winning photo.
It was also a big moment for 19-year-old Talamo, who came to Southern California a couple years back at the behest of Frankel.
"This is very emotional for me," he said. "Bobby's the one who brought me out here. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't be here."
The Citation is the first race in Hollywood Park's Turf Festival, which features five graded stakes over the Thanksgiving Weekend. Frankel dominated the Festival with 17 winners in the first 17 years of the popular late-season event.
"Bobby told me to get him ready," Ascanio said. "To be positive, he is training good. He was right. The horse was doing good. My job was to continue training. I'm just happy to win for him."
Talamo, who rode five winners here last Sunday, was at his best in the Citation, sitting patiently and saving ground much of the way before turning the 4-year-old loose in the final furlong.
Fluke, the sixth choice at odds of 9-1, gained the lead in deep stretch, covering 1 1/16 miles on the Lakeside Turf Course in 1:40.48 to register his first stakes victory in North America. He won a Group 3 event in Brazil in 2008 and has now won five of 11 starts with three second-place finishes.
Ever a Friend finished second, 1 ¼ lengths back of Fluke. Second choice Cowboy Cal was another neck back in third and Proudinksy, also trained by Ascanio, finished fourth in the field of eight older horses. Favorite Blue Chagall did not threaten while finishing last.
"He was confident," Ascanio said of Talamo. "He said this horse can win. I like that. It was a tough race, I'm just happy to win it. I knew he had a lot of horse at the head of the stretch, he hadn't asked him. "
Talamo, second in the jockeys' standings with 14 wins through 11 days of the 27-day Autumn Meet, liked his chances Friday.
"I watched the replay of his last race and man, he came home in :22," he said. "I'm not going to say that we knew he was going to win, but we came in with a lot of confidence. He's a real nice horse and I think he's going to go on to do some big things. They weren't really going all that fast, but into the turn I could see some of them were making early moves. In the stretch it was just a matter of finding a seam, and when he found one, he really took off."
Fluke, owned by Patricia Bozano, banked $180,000 to boost his earnings to $308,348. He also rewarded his backers handsomely, paying $20, $7.80 and $4.40. Ever a Friend returned $6 and $3.80, while the show payoff on Cowboy Cal was $3.20.
Ever a Friend led inside the eighth pole, but could not match Fluke in the final sixteenth.
"Coming to the three-eighths, a horse came up on the outside (Blue Chagall) and he made me move a little early," jockey Joel Rosario said. "He ran good. I don't think I would have won, I just wish I could have waited longer."
Ascanio will saddle Ventura in the $300,000 Matriarch as the Turf Festival continues Saturday with the Grade I race for fillies and mares and with the $100,000 Generous Stakes for 2-year-olds. It wraps up Sunday with the $300,000 Hollywood Derby and the $100,000 Miesque Stakes.
Post time each day is 12:30 p.m.

Despite overwhelming data that demonstrates the importance of investing in women's health, education, and leadership, few resources are allocated for women's rights. In the United States, only 7.3 percent of total private foundation dollars are given to programs that address the rights of women and girls. Rarely are these dollars directed towards groups that empower women at the grassroots level. The situation is worse in many parts of the world where it is immensely difficult for women's groups to access any resources, whether from international or local donors.
Our Accomplishments
There has been a steady proliferation of women's "funds" emerging at all levels over the last 20 years. Currently, there are 46 global, regional, and national women's funds. Global Fund has been a leader in spurring that growth, providing over $6.5 million in seed funding and technical support to 31 funds, located in 24 countries.
Global Fund is helping to shape a world in which significant community and global resources are mobilized and directed at promoting gender equality and social change. We believe in putting money directly into the hands of women's groups working for human rights and social change – action that will achieve justice and transform systems, institutions and cultures that are at the root of injustice.
Recognizing this reality and the unequal dynamic that exists between the "global north" and "global south", Global has been both seeding and supporting indigenous women's funds in every continent around the globe. Since 1990, we have awarded over $6.5 million dollars to 31 women's funds. Women's funds sustain thousands of women's organizations worldwide. Research on 1,000 women's organizations by Association of Women's Rights in Development (AWID) found that women's funds are the main source of income for the majority of these organizations, many of which have annual budgets of less than $5,000.
Country and region-based women's funds are uniquely situated to mobilize resources from their regions and sustain women's rights organizations and movements. GFW has played a key role in supporting the establishment of local women's funds around the world, partnering and mentoring them as they grow to play leadership roles in the women's movement in their communities. We partner closely with women's funds to leverage support for groups that have difficulty accessing resources, such as indigenous women, rural and poor women, lesbians, young women and women with disabilities.
Our Grantmaking
We respect women's expertise and their strategies by giving them general support grants, which allow groups to determine their priorities and utilize this unrestricted funding where it is most needed, such as for operational costs, programmatic work, or urgent campaigns. General support gives groups autonomy in decision-making, independence from external agendas, space to strategize, plan, and network, and flexibility to respond to emerging needs.
The Global Fund for Women promotes Social Change Philanthropy by supporting grantees that engage in the following strategies »
Philanthropic Education
- Transforming the culture of giving in society to focus on social change and to support women's rights.
Grantmaking Practices
- Re-granting and re-granting techniques and skills-building trainings, including producing manuals and organizing networks.
Politics of Funding
- Increasing access to funding and understanding the effect of grants and funding strategies on movement building and women's rights organizations.
- Strategic convenings where donors and women's rights activists engage and coordinate efforts to advocate for mobilizing additional resources.

Using A Stun Master Stun Gun For Self-Defense
Defensive weapons are not passive weapons that reduce you into waiting inactively for every motion of attack to be counterattacked. Stun guns, for example, are loaded with paralyzing if non-lethal electricity that ends conflict before it begins. A Stun Master stun gun could be outfitted with everything from a loud alarm to flashing lights, to say nothing of a strategic size and appearance, for launching an offense in the midst of a defense.
A stun gun can dump an electric shock into the body while poked onto it. The results are consistent each time. These are a loss of muscle movement and balance. They neither last nor inflict damage for life, but afford you the time to run and call law enforcement.
Hardworking stun guns provide approaches to defense suitable for various situations of danger. The 9.5 million volt Stun Master multi-function rechargeable stun gun is also a personal alarm, and has a LED flashlight and red flashing emergency lights. Sound the stun alarm to curb an aggressor from afar, scream for help, and, along with the flashing lights, announce your location to other people.
Point a flashlight stun gun to the assailant, and while he is blinded momentarily, go zap. Besides, the 8.5 million volt Stun Master rechargeable fashion stun gun with flashlight is a choice to venture beyond products in generic-black. Animal or flower prints, and color schemes like pink-and-gray, do not make it appear like you are armed.
A disguised stun gun would certainly disarm the offender who is not poised to impede a weapon, believing you do not have one. The 11 million volt Stun Master Hot Shot stun gun comes across as a Blackberry-style mobile gizmo, not an electric gun. Plus, it is a small stun gun that can be hidden in the hand, from where the miscreant will never see it coming.
The best response to incoming peril is to run from it. A single, hardworking Stun Master stun gun alone can fill your arsenal of defense tactics for deterring an attacker in order to get away.

Name change will better reflect the mission of the campus's "model teacher-preparation and child-study facility"
October 15, 2008
DEARBORN / Oct. 15, 2008---Moving into a new facility earlier this fall was only one of the big changes this year for the UM-Dearborn Child Development Center.
The program also has officially changed its name to the Early Childhood Education Center (ECEC), which more closely reflects its mission, according to Prof. Mary Trepanier Street, director of the ECEC and associate dean of the School of Education.
Our main objective is to serve as a model teacher-preparation and child-study facility for University students enrolled in a variety of education courses, Trepanier-Street said.
The program moved into the facility, at 18501 Rotunda Drive in Dearborn, at the beginning of the semester.
We are in a beautiful building that was designed for children that we will share with Oakwood Healthcares Program for Exceptional Families, Trepanier-Street said.
Oakwood Healthcare and UM-Dearborn entered into a collaboration agreement in December 2006, focused on building a comprehensive, long-term relationship to support each others missions for education, clinical care, research and service to the community.
As part of the collaboration, the two institutions worked together to transform the former UAW/Ford Dearborn West Family Service and Learning Center, a 38,000-square-foot building, into a learning center housing clinical and educational programs for kids, families and future teachers.
Oakwood purchased the facility last year. Their Program for Exceptional Families provides numerous services and oversees the care of children with multiple disabilities and their families.
The larger facility means the ECEC was able to enroll 40 more families this semester than last. It also will allow the ECEC to expand program opportunities for children and their families, as well as for university students in teacher-preparation programs.
Working together with Oakwood and its Program for Exceptional Families will broaden the opportunities for our students and faculty members, she said. The new facility is not just a better space for both of our programs, but a genuine manifestation of our commitment to work together to provide better care for all children, not just those in our programs, but those who will benefit from the research we will be able to do, and from the education and service our graduates will provide to children in the generations to come.

Friends General Conference is pleased to be engaged in nurturing and supporting new worship groups and meetings in the United States and Canada.
The New Meetings Project (NMP) is at work responding to inquiries from Friends asking for support in starting new worship groups and meetings. Many times, the request has come from Friends and seekers in areas where there is no established meeting and they want guidance on how to nurture a flourishing Quaker faith and practice community.
The NMP is also beginning a project of intentionally seeding new meetings (for more information, click the Meeting Seeding Project file below).
J. Brent Bill, a long-time Friend and author, has been named as the staff person to shepherd the development of the New Meetings Project. The New Meetings Project has also been creating materials to guide the formation of new communities, designing workshops that will ground and prepare Friends called to anchor new meetings, and supporting travel teams of seasoned Friends who will visit new worship groups and meetings to support the deepening of their spiritual practices.
We are pleased to be able to support Friends who feel called to help establish and nurture vibrant Quaker communities. While there are many paths and religious traditions through which to develop a meaningful spiritual life, we know that many are drawn to the Quaker way and want help to begin that journey. FGC's purpose with this project is to provide the support and tools needed to make the Quaker way visible and accessible to all seekers interested in exploring Quaker spiritual practice.
You'll find resources for new meetings and/or worship groups in the "New Meetings Toolbox."
For further details about this program or contact information on how to be involved, check out the New Meetings Q&A, search on "New Meetings Project" or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Hi guys, been a while! They say all good things come to those who wait, and that nothing worth having ever comes easy. I am a walking testament to both of those statements. As some of you may remember, I was on here a few months ago looking for a dealer to check out the Martin bows. Long story short, after weeks of frustration I finally got my Martin! A big thank you to Greg over at Fishing and Hunting USA for the hook up. Great guy, and HOLY MOLY at the deal he gave me!
Took it to our local Bass Pro Shops here in Nashville this morning to have the guy set it up for me. I could tell he was looking down his nose at my Cougar as is typical in this part of the country if you're shooting anything other than a Mathews or Hoyt. Once we got on the range with it though his tune quickly changed. His exact words after I launched the first arrow was something close to "Holy S*** that thing is fast." He even asked if he could shoot it as he'd never shot a Martin before.
This bow is everything I've heard and read it was. Reedonkulously fast, super quiet, smooth draw, and unlike my Drenalin I sold, not a hint of vibration. It was so much fun to shoot that I almost forgot it was 103 outside today. Man I absolutely love this bow!

- Zero-lag long-range synchronization of Hodgkin-Huxley neurons is enhanced by dynamical relaying : poster presentation (2007)
- Background The synchrony hypothesis postulates that precise temporal synchronization of different pools of neurons conveys information that is not contained in their firing rates. The synchrony hypothesis had been supported by experimental findings demonstrating that millisecond precise synchrony of neuronal oscillations across well separated brain regions plays an essential role in visual perception and other higher cognitive tasks [1]. Albeit, more evidence is being accumulated in favour of its role as a binding mechanism of distributed neural responses, the physical and anatomical substrate for such a dynamic and precise synchrony, especially zero-lag even in the presence of non-negligible delays, remains unclear. Here we propose a simple network motif that naturally accounts for zero-lag synchronization for a wide range of temporal delays [3]. We demonstrate that zero-lag synchronization between two distant neurons or neural populations can be achieved by relaying the dynamics via a third mediating single neuron or population. Methods We simulated the dynamics of two Hodgkin-Huxley neurons that interact with each other via an intermediate third neuron. The synaptic coupling was mediated through alpha-functions. Individual temporal delays of the arrival of pre-synaptic potentials were modelled by a gamma distribution. The strength of the synchronization and the phase-difference between each individual pairs were derived by cross-correlation of the membrane potentials. Results In the regular spiking regime the two outer neurons consistently synchronize with zero phase lag irrespective of the initial conditions. This robust zero-lag synchronization naturally arises as a consequence of the relay and redistribution of the dynamics performed by the central neuron. This result is independent on whether the coupling is excitatory or inhibitory and can be maintained for arbitrarily long time delays (see Fig. 1). Conclusion We have presented a simple and extremely robust network motif able to account for the isochronous synchronization of distant neural elements in a natural way. As opposed to other possible mechanisms of neural synchronization, neither inhibitory coupling, gap junctions nor precise tuning of morphological parameters are required to obtain zero-lag synchronized neuronal oscillation.
- A mechanism for achieving zero-lag long-range synchronization of neural activity (2009)
- Poster presentation: How can two distant neural assemblies synchronize their firings at zero-lag even in the presence of non-negligible delays in the transfer of information between them? Neural synchronization stands today as one of the most promising mechanisms to counterbalance the huge anatomical and functional specialization of the different brain areas. However, and albeit more evidence is being accumulated in favor of its functional role as a binding mechanism of distributed neural responses, the physical and anatomical substrate for such a dynamic and precise synchrony, especially zero-lag even in the presence of non-negligible delays, remains unclear. Here we propose a simple network motif that naturally accounts for zero-lag synchronization of spiking assemblies of neurons for a wide range of temporal delays. We demonstrate that when two distant neural assemblies do not interact directly but relaying their dynamics via a third mediating single neuron or population and eventually achieve zero-lag coherent firing. Extensive numerical simulations of populations of Hodgkin-Huxley neurons interacting in such a network are analyzed. The results show that even with axonal delays as large as 15 ms the distant neural populations can synchronize their firings at zero-lag in a millisecond precision after the exchange of a few spikes. The role of noise and a distribution of axonal delays in the synchronized dynamics of the neural populations are also studied confirming the robustness of this sync mechanism. The proposed network module is densely embedded within the complex functional architecture of the brain and especially within the reciprocal thalamocortical interactions where the role of indirect pathways mimicking direct cortico-cortical fibers has been already suggested to facilitate trans-areal cortical communication. In summary the robust neural synchronization mechanism presented here arises as a consequence of the relay and redistribution of the dynamics performed by a mediating neuronal population. In opposition to previous works, neither inhibitory, gap junctions, nor complex networks need to be invoked to provide a stable mechanism of zero-phase correlated activity of neural populations in the presence of large conduction delays.
- Effect of the topology and delayed interactions in neuronal networks synchronization (2011)
- As important as the intrinsic properties of an individual nervous cell stands the network of neurons in which it is embedded and by virtue of which it acquires great part of its responsiveness and functionality. In this study we have explored how the topological properties and conduction delays of several classes of neural networks affect the capacity of their constituent cells to establish well-defined temporal relations among firing of their action potentials. This ability of a population of neurons to produce and maintain a millisecond-precise coordinated firing (either evoked by external stimuli or internally generated) is central to neural codes exploiting precise spike timing for the representation and communication of information. Our results, based on extensive simulations of conductance-based type of neurons in an oscillatory regime, indicate that only certain topologies of networks allow for a coordinated firing at a local and long-range scale simultaneously. Besides network architecture, axonal conduction delays are also observed to be another important factor in the generation of coherent spiking. We report that such communication latencies not only set the phase difference between the oscillatory activity of remote neural populations but determine whether the interconnected cells can set in any coherent firing at all. In this context, we have also investigated how the balance between the network synchronizing effects and the dispersive drift caused by inhomogeneities in natural firing frequencies across neurons is resolved. Finally, we show that the observed roles of conduction delays and frequency dispersion are not particular to canonical networks but experimentally measured anatomical networks such as the macaque cortical network can display the same type of behavior.

Group: More than 1,000 may attend rally for prayer Monday
A Christian organization based near Winston-Salem says more than 1,000 people have said they'll attend a rally for prayer before Rowan County commissioners meet Monday.
Return America is hosting the rally at the Rowan County Administration Building, 130 W. Innes St. The rally starts at 5:30 p.m. Commissioners meet at 6 p.m.
The purpose of the rally, a news release said, is to support the Rowan County commissioners in their efforts to continue praying sectarian prayer. The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit earlier this year on behalf of three county residents seeking to halt the prayers at the start of commissioners' meetings, which have been overwhelmingly Christian.
The rally is also called to send a signal of support for freedom of religious expression across America, and especially to Washington, D.C., in view of the upcoming hearing on prayer to be heard by the United States Supreme Court in November, the news release said.
Dr. Ron Baity, president of Return America, will be joined by the lead attorney for the Rowan County commissioners, David Gibbs, III, in addressing supporters.
Return America previously brought thousands of people to Raleigh in support of the North Carolina Marriage Amendment.

Printearth is an Ottawa based startup which specializes in manufacturing 100% biodegradable plastic filaments for 3D printers. Plastic filament is essentially the ink for 3D printers since it's melted and applied in thin layers by the printer to produce physical objects. The current industry standards are either petroleum based plastics or PLA. Even though PLA is a bioplastic, it's only compostable in commercial composters.

BlackBerry is all about business these days but all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Shot Roulette is a fun game to play and unwind with your friends (up to 6 players).

Shot Roulette is played just how you think. Either you "Take a Bullet", "Dodge a Bullet", "Misfire" or "Send a Bullet" to a friend. The infamous "Take a Bullet" card is where the fun starts – if you draw this card it's your turn to take a shot. If you pick up the "Dodge a Bullet" card, don't sweat, you're spared from this round's shot. If you get a "Misfire" card, you can save it to dodge a future bullet! And if you're lucky enough to get the "Send a Bullet" card, choose a friend and give 'em a shot.

SignEasy is one of the best productivity apps available on mobile. It makes signing documents a breeze and even though it's an Android port, the app works great on BlackBerry 10. Recently, the app has had some major updates including:

Ability to prefill forms

Automatic backup of important documents

Ability to sign in using another device in an emergency situation

Sign offline even while not connected to the internet

If you're a BlackBerry 10 user, the company has said "We are going to look at the response that we get from BlackBerry 10 users before we decide to update the app." So make sure to Tweet at the company and let them know in the comments on their site. Surely they'll be able to update the Android port on BlackBerry 10 quite easily.

Learn more about the updates at the SignEasy blog.

Sensassure is an early stage startup that has a really cool product with big implications. The product is a connected diaper with a sensor that tracks whether incontinent seniors have soiled themselves. Sure, it's a bit of a gross problem to tackle, but it's a problem that's becoming increasingly important as the North American population ages.

In a recent webinar, Steve West, Senior Director of Business Development for QNX Cloud, gave a high level case for why BlackBerry and QNX are well positioned to help facilitate the full potential of the Internet of Things.

At first glance, QNX and BlackBerry might seem like a company with a split personality. BlackBerry has been focused on enterprise, while QNX still seems to be on the consumer side of things with its infotainment systems for automotive. The combined expertise of both companies nicely intersects at the Internet of Things because it combines their relative experience with security, scalability and reliability. In fact, the vision QNX and BlackBerry have for IoT is enterprise at its core and was best showcased in a case study for the Orlando Brewing Company.

If you're in Toronto tomorrow, check out the We Are Wearables event. The theme of tomorrow's meetup will be the potential of wearable technology to augment our physical capabilities. The companies presenting include Bionik Laboratories (The ARKE Exoskeleton), eSight Eyewear, SENSIMAT, Lynxio and Sensassure.

I wonder if any of these companies will be competing in the 2016 Cybathlon. The Swiss competition will have exoskeleton, powered wheelchair and even brain interface races.

The Ritot smartwatch is an interesting product that looks like something right out of the movie In Time with Justin Timberlake. It seems a lot of people also love the idea, as the Ritot has raised over $300,000, well in excess its initial goal of $50,000.

But can the Ritot do everything it claims? Judging from the information on the Indiegogo, there's some major technical challenges the company claims to have solved, but won't actually show how or demonstrate they've solved them. In fact, they make some bold claims while showing blatant Photoshops of stock photography.

Post by Ottawa Mini Maker Faire.

The innovation laced through the National Capital Region is impressive, and this third edition of the Ottawa Mini Maker Faire is a chance to connect creative people from all over our region in a celebration of the Do-It-Yourself (DIY) spirit.

A Mini Maker Faire brings together families and individuals who celebrate arts, crafts, engineering, food, music, sustainability, and science and those who embrace the DIY spirit. At Mini Maker Faire, the focus is on the process of making – not just the finished product.

If you're in Ottawa, Canada, come out and enjoy the fourth annual Ottawa Mini Maker Faire on August 16th and 17th.

So I guess you will see me in @CBCTheNational talking IBM and Apple and licking my lips too much. #chappedlips

— Douglas Tr0n Soltys (@tron) July 16, 2014

Doug Soltys is the former Editor in Chief of BlackBerryCool as well as a former employee of BlackBerry as its Blog Manager. Today, he spoke on CBC's The National to discuss the partnership between Apple and IBM.

It's an interesting discussion as everyone wants to know how this partnership will affect BlackBerry. While Apple doesn't have the ultra-high security needed for government and defense, those clients may pale in significance to the clients that IBM may lure to Apple with its enterprise app offerings. Also, it's worth noting that IBM has 430,000 employees and Apple shipped 50x what BlackBerry shipped in Q4 2013. It's an uphill battle for sure.

Here is a link to The National's video on the IBM and Apple deal with Doug coming in at the end.

Spark Labs has an interesting story that begins the way all great startups do: solving a personal problem. Zach Supalla's father is deaf and he wanted a way to integrate the home lighting system with his father's smartphone, so he would know when his wife was texting him. The project put Spark Labs into the connected lighting products market and the company launched their first product Spark Socket on Kickstarter.

Matthias Marquardt of the famed Emacberry has released a classic BlackBerry app, GPSLogger II, for BlackBerry 10 by first porting it to Android. It's great to see the Android app play work out as some developers from the legacy OS would otherwise have been left out.

GPSLogger II is a straightforward app that tracks your physical movement over time. The app records information including your location, elevation and speed, as well as some other data. GPSLogger II is great because it's vague enough that it can serve a myriad of purposes. If you're an avid skier, athlete or someone into the Quantified Self, you're bound to appreciate the simplicity and data that the app provides.

This week, the White House hosted its first Maker Faire and announced that Americans need "to be makers of things, not just consumers of things." While we have always had engineers, hobbyists and tinkers, the maker movement is taking off. Reasons for the recent maker community growth is likely due to economies of scale reducing hardware costs, software becoming more versatile, and recent innovations like 3D printers.

GymTrack is an Internet of Things company that is targeting a B2B market rather than the typical B2C market that Internet of Things (IoT) companies are known for. It's an interesting take on IoT and fitness that you don't see too much of, and if the company can handle all of the headaches around scaling, it could be a hugely successful idea.

The question I've had a lot is "when do you have a laptop but not a micro-USB?". It's a totally valid question and the simplest answer is "You will. Trust me." The Nomad ChargeKey and ChargeCard are the smallest, simplest ways to carry about a micro USB. In fact, I'm traveling as I write this and my charger broke, leaving me with the ChargeCard and a laptop as my only lifeline to charge my phone. Considering these USB cables just sit in your wallet or on your keychain, it's worth the cost of the device as a backup.

Check out Nomad products at this link. The ChargeKey and ChargeCard go for $30.

If you're in Ottawa, Canada or the surrounding region, you should definitely check out the Ottawa BlackBerry Developer Group. The meetup will talk about some of the changes at BlackBerry, mostly that the company is largely enterprise focused. This change is very visible at the developer group level. BlackBerry has been using a Developer Group Hub, powered by Influitive, in order to connect Group Managers as well as send the company message to those groups. So far, the message is clear: develop enterprise apps.

The Bulldogs fullback and linebacker was named the league's most valuable player, an honor he splits with last year's MVP, Lincoln High running back Justin Davis. League coaches vote on the all-league selections.
"The guy I share it with is a good athlete," Russell said. "I'm just honored that I got the award."
On offense, Russell finished as the league's leading rusher with 1,184 yards. He averaged 107.6 yards per game and 6.84 yards per carry.
"We just had a good team and a good line," he said. "It was a fun year playing with my team."
Russell said he had not confirmed his college plans, but he expected they would include football.
"Football is something I'll always take with me," he said. "All of the hard work that I've put into it paid off."
His coach, Matt Shrout, was honored as the SJAA 2012 Coach of the Year.
The third-year coach will split the recognition with Lincoln High's Brian Gray.
Shrout led the Bulldogs (7-4, 4-1 SJAA) to second place in league and got the team to the first-round of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs.
Tracy's other top all-SJAA selections include senior fullback and linebacker Bruce Russell for co-MVP; senior Josh Bongiovanni for Offensive Lineman of the Year, and senior punter Tommy Langley, who was named top punter in the league.
First-team selections include junior Alex Warner, selected as an offensive and defensive lineman, junior linebackers Chaz Briggs and Chris Mahar, junior defensive lineman George Obinna, junior defensive back Luke Pulliam and senior defensive back Tyler Mendoes.
Honorable mentions included sophomore wide receiver and defensive back Jason Nelson, senior lineman Nate Shelton, junior running back and linebacker Eric Hawkins and senior quarterback Luke Hanna.
All-Central California Athletic Alliance selections
Junior lineman Korey Dubose and sophomore linebacker Carlos Martinez were selected from the Millennium Falcons to join the All-CCAA first team.
Second-team selections were senior offensive lineman Kyle Kish, junior safety Giacomo Oliveri, and sophomore cornerback Malik Charles.
Tri-City Athletic League
The TCAL was scheduled to make its all-league selections on Tuesday night, but those results were not available as of press time.
Kimball's all-league players will be named when all of the teams in the Valley Oak League have finished the season. VOL champion Oakdale is in the semifinals of the Sac-Joaquin Section Division II playoffs, and faces American Canyon Friday, Nov. 23.

On Monday, the film director and explorer James Cameron became the first human to travel on his own to the world's deepest abyss, the Challenger Deep, which lies 62 miles southwest of Guam in the Pacific Ocean. (As William J. Broad writes in The Times, Mr. Cameron found a bleak terrain that was all but barren of life.)
The dive had been attempted only once before, in 1960, when Don Walsh, a retired United States Navy captain, and Jacques Piccard, a Swiss engineer, reached the spot in the Navy submersible Trieste.
Mr. Cameron's achievement is a triumph of engineering. At 35,756 feet below the surface — two leagues under the sea — where his sub, the Deepsea Challenger, hit bottom, the water pressure is around 16,000 pounds per square inch, nearly the atmospheric pressure on the surface of Venus.
Trieste had survived this crushing force by brute strength: its spherical hull was reinforced with thick steel walls, making the sub so heavy that it had to be towed out to the dive site. (It "looked like a victim of battle rather than an undersea laboratory," Mr. Piccard wrote of the journey in the August 1960 edition of National Geographic.)
Most conventional submersibles today, like Alvin, the workhorse of the deep-ocean scientific community, are built with lighter titanium, but the material cannot handle pressures much below 20,000 feet. To build the Deepsea Challenger, engineers led by Ron Allum designed a pilot chamber with thin steel and gave it a spherical shape, which could be both strong and light. (A cylinder-shaped hull would have needed to be three times as thick.)

On a short grueling test that began uphill from the gun, the BMC Racing Team found themselves represented in the second group of riders on the road after missing out on an early break that solidified following the category one ascent of Grimselpass.
Special day for Frank tomorrow
Mathias Frank was the top finisher for the team on the third stage of Tour de Suisse as he descending into Grindelwald in 17th place. Johann Tschopp finished 20 seconds and two places behind Frank. He now slots into 13th on the general classification. "I couldn't follow the very best guys today on the last very steep climb and lost some time and places in GC. Top Ten is still possible for me and there are some hard stages coming up. The finish on Tuesday is close to where I grew up and I know the final very well. So it's gonna be a special day for me even though I think it will be a stage for the sprinters," told Mathias Frank. The road kicks up again on Thursday with a mountain finish in Malbun in Liechtenstein.

Reggie Miller single-handedly crushed the heart of Knicks fans multiple times. But, it was the 1995 Eastern Conference semifinals which solidified Miller as Public Enemy #1 in New York City, with moments to go in Game 1 and facing a seemingly insurmountable deficit of 105-99, Miller scored eight points in 8.9 seconds to give the Indiana Pacers an astonishing victory. This career-defining performance, combined with his on-court give-and-take with Knicks fan Spike Lee, helped establish Miller's legend as "The Garden's Greatest Villain." Through thrilling highlights and engaging interviews with Miller, his sister Cheryl, Spike Lee, Patrick Ewing and many others, Peabody Award-winning director Dan Klores uses humor and wit to capture the intensity of a rivalry between two cities! Winning Time was also an official selection at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.

Hello all!
I recently acquired a new Martin Threshold (70# model) for Christmas, and it came with a 30" draw. I want to adjust this to a 28" draw, and I have the appropriate modules to do so. However, when I went to unscrew the screw on the back of the cam to release only the module, the back screw was blocked by the limb. Any ideas as to how to get access to this screw so I can replace the module. The other screw came out just fine.
Thank you

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Staff Reviews Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Sony XM-GS400 by Buck Pomerantz My system has plenty of power. Who needs an amp? You might think you don't need an amp because you have a 400-watt system in your car, or because your new stereo puts out 50 watts a channel. But those are peak wattage ratings, which may boil down to 15 or 20 watts per channel, using the more realistic RMS rating. An amp sends your speakers the power they need to deliver your music with clarity and impact, whether you're using factory speakers or high-performance components. And low-frequency reproduction requires lots of power, so an amp is an absolute must if you're adding a sub to your system. Brings you the music You'll get 70 watts RMS to each of your front and rear speakers with Sony's XM-GS100 4-channel amplifier driving your system. Or you can switch the amp into 2-channel mode to power a couple of subs with 160 watts RMS each. This compact amp sports a hefty heatsink that gets rid of the heat that's generated when you're pushing your system hard. The XM-GS100 also uses a cooling fan, which automatically adjusts its speed for the heat it detects, ensuring this small amplifier will always produce the power that's expected. More features All connections are located on one side of the amp, which makes wiring simpler and neater. The tuning controls sit protected under a cover so they won't get inadvertently moved. You'll find separate controls for the front and rear channels on this versatile amp. You can run two speakers and a sub, for instance, and have the correct high-pass, low-pass, and subsonic filters available to get the tone right. You'll appreciate the bass boost, if you need a little extra punch. Sony protects this amp with a 3-year warranty, and that says a lot.

Quick impressions from the Lab Comment by Buck Pomerantz Staff Writer - Creative, Small but substantial Written by Buck Pomerantz, Staff Writer - Creative, on 8/17/2012 5:07:00 PM When I took it out of the box, the first thing that struck me was the heft. This amp's pretty heavy for something with a footprint smaller than a piece of letter-size paper. Over half its chassis is heavy heatsink. All the connections are on one side, and they appear to be gold-plated. The adjustment controls are under a removable cover, held in place with Phillips-head screws. The instructions are on a large fold-out sheet of paper. They can be hard to follow if you don't read them carefully. Case in point: I would have never known there was a cooling fan aboard, if I hadn't read about not blocking the vent, which is on the top cover.

text: I wonder if any of you have tried the new Tamron 18-270mm zoom and if so what do you think of it? I'm thinking about it as a general purpose lens for my Nikon D5000 as I currently have just the 18-55 kit lens. I'm attracted to it because it is relatively light, other wise I'd go for the nikon 18-200mm but think I might struggle with the weight.
