With built-in Wi-Fi and reliably high image quality, there's much to like about the latest addition to Canon's point-and-shoot IXUS lineup. There was some noise at middling sensitivities, but otherwise the 255 HS performed well in my tests.
Pricing not available
The Canon IXUS 255, 135 and 132 are a trio of new IXUS pocket snappers, two of which have Wi-Fi for sharing snaps online.
Canon has a bunch of new cameras coming your way as part of its 2014 release cycle: the D30 tough camera, EOS 1200D, G1 X Mark II and plenty of travel cameras.
A return to form for the IXUS line, the Canon IXUS 510 HS is one of the best-looking cameras you can buy, and if you do, you won't be disappointed with its output. Vivid colours, fine detail and a good zoom make this camera a great choice.
Pricing not available
The Canon PowerShot N100 makes every shot a selfie, packing two cameras for double the narcissism.
A potentially great little camera is let down by a slightly unresponsive touchscreen and colour fringing on some images. It's also rather expensive at £350. That's a shame, as in all other respects the IXUS 1100HS is very impressive, reproducing realistic colours with the absolute minimum of noise.
Typical price: £350.00
A great performance from this diminutive snapper proves that good camera design comes down to much more than merely cramming in as many megapixels as the sensor will allow. Its downsides are few and far between, making the Canon IXUS 230HS our favourite ultra compact on sale today.
Typical price: £230.00
The Canon IXUS 115 HS compact camera outshines many of its rivals in terms of performance, features and usability. It's not exactly a munter either.
Typical price: £145.00

Iona Abbey
- 563, by Saint Columba of Iona
Monastery, formerly occupying a small island of the Inner Hebrides, west of Scotland. It became one of the most important centers of Celtic Christianity and culture; it is thought that the Book of Kells was written there. Iona was the mother-house of many monasteries in Britain and Ireland.
Early in the 13th century the old Celtic monastery was replaced by Benedictine monasteries for men and for women; these were confiscated in 1561 by order of the Convention of Estates. The existing runs date from the 13th century and earlier, and are now the property of the Dukes of Argyll.

TEMPE, Ariz. -- Navy Midshipmen fans made a statement about Saturday's Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl by painting the A on A Mountain Navy blue. Aerial video clearly showed their message -- "Go Navy."
The Mids will take on our Arizona State Sun Devils in San Francisco's AT&T Park Saturday afternoon. This is the first time the Mids and the Devils will meet on the gridiron.
Navy is 7-9-1 all-time in bowl games and 1-1-1 all-time against current Pac-12 schools in bowl games. The Mids have lost four of their last five bowl matchups.
ASU wrapped up its season with a big upset win over Arizona, ending 7-5. They've lost their last three bowl games, however. The Devils' last bowl win was in 2005 at the Insight Bowl.
The Sun Devils are the favorites to win, especially if they can force a few turnovers and handle the ball well offensively. Sophomore QB Taylor Kelly threw for 2,772 yards and 25 touchdowns this season.
If Navy, however, moves the ball on the ground and rushing and receiving leader Gee Gee Greene gets going, the Mids just might be able to pull out a win.
They will have junior defensive tackle Will Sutton to contend with. Sutton leads the Devils in tackle for loss and sacks and could put a serious dent in Navy's offense.
The Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl kicks off at 2:07 p.m. Arizona time (1:07 p.m. Pacific and 4:07 p.m. Eastern).
ASU's A is often a target when the Sun Devils are gearing up for big games. Hours before the Sun Devils faced off against Oregon, Ducks fans pulled off a similar stealth attack and painted the A green.
When the iconic A comes under attack, ASU students armed with paint and rollers are generally pretty quick to hustle up the mountain and repair the damage.
By 1:30 p.m., several hours after the desecration was discovered, the A was undergoing another -- Sun Devil-approved -- facelift.
Sun Devils repaint A after sneak attack by Navy Midshipmen fans

(CNN) -- For even the sport's most ardent fans, Formula One can be confusing -- it is governed by a set of ever-evolving rules dominated by talk of technical specifications.
So if you are a sports enthusiast who is considering checking out the race action when the 2012 season begins in Australia on Sunday, it is more than likely you will have a few questions.
Posers such as, "How long can a race go on for?" Or, "Why do they use so many tires?" Or maybe even, "Why does the front of the car look so weird?"
Some of the changes are more technical, the main one involving exhaust diffusion -- a big bone of contention in the past two seasons.
In the gallery above, CNN has attempted to explain and simplify the host of rule changes which have been brought in ahead of the new campaign so you can fully appreciate all of the elite motorsport's thrills and spills.

Rated 1 out of 5 Great Idea
I saw this product featured on a parenting website and thought it looked like the answer to my dollhouse dilemma (essentially, finding one that was green and wouldn't take up a lot of space at a reasonable price point). The figures and furniture are adorbs. No question. But the space between the floors is so small that my 3 1/2 year old took all the furniture out and started playing with it on the floor because "I can't reach my hand in." Not easy to play with at all. We are going to return it. That's a statement because we generally don't take toys away--you can imagine trying to reason with a child who loves the people and the "little potty" -- but I just don't see this actually being played with a great deal. I'll have to come to terms with spending more money and buying a dollhouse with a bigger footprint.

Totem Talk: 4.3 changes for elemental shaman
It's crazy for me to think that it's been nearly four weeks since the first patch notes detailing class changes went up on the PTR. Three Saturdays back, I devoted the first post to tier 13 so as to benefit both specs of DPS shaman. Two weeks ago, it was enhancement changes. And, in my most recent post, elemental changes got pushed to the back burner after the elemental tier 12 set bonus got nerfed hard on the PTR.
So, nearly a calendar month after PTR notes first went up, it's high time to discuss some of the awesome (and not-so-awesome) changes in store for elemental shaman in patch 4.3.

FERGUSON, Mo. (KMOV.com) -- Ferguson police say it's taken over a year, but they finally found the man who grabbed a 14-year-old boy off the sidewalk and sexually assaulted him. Authorities say the man was located in a Florida jail, held on unrelated charges.
Corey McClendon, 39, is charged with one count of kidnapping and two counts of first-degree sodomy. Police say McClendon dragged the 14-year-old into a stairwell, held the boy against his will and sodomized him.
Police say the sexual assault happened December 28, 2011 in the 100 block of South Florissant Road, just a block from the police department.
"The suspect approached the victim and forced him to come up to the stairwell of the church," said Police Chief Timothy Lowery.
Police said they did not know who their suspect was until a DNA match months after the crime. At the time, McClendon had been arrested for burglary in Iowa, convicted and sent to a half-way house. But in November 2012, he walked away before local authorities had a chance to bring him back for trial.
McClendon turned up next in Palm Beach County, Florida, where he was arrested on New Years Eve for theft. He was charged with grand theft, and remains locked in the Palm Beach jail.
Local authorities say they are anxious to see him brought back to St. Louis County to face charges for sexual assault.
"With a warrant being issued out of the state of Missouri, the St. Louis County fugitive team will be notified by the agency in Florida when he's ready to be picked up," said Capt. Dan DeCarli.
McClendon is also charged with rape in San Bernardino, California, for a sexual assault that happened in 2005. He also pleaded guilty in St. Louis in 1994 to charges of assault, attempted armed robbery and false imprisonment.

Cross Fire
Cross Fire Overview
Cross Fire is team oriented first person shooter set in the modern age. Anyone familiar with Counter Strike will notice the similarities between the two games. Many of the guns and stages looked familiar as do the some of the game modes. Compared to many other free to play FPS games, Cross Fire does have poor graphics but the small file size and low system requirements mean a much broader audience can enjoy this simple MMO shooter. Currently there are 2-5 maps per game mode, 16 main weapons, 3 types of pistols, and 3 kinds of grenades. Additionally, there are 2 starting characters to chose from and 3 others available through the shop. All four of Cross Fire's game modes can be played with 2-16 players. The game modes are:
Team Death Match - Two teams race to get either the most kills in a certain amount of time or a pre-set amount of kills before the opposing team. Players respawn soon after they die.
Search and Destroy - One team must plant C4 at specific spots while the other must prevent them or defuse the bomb. Killing all members of the opposing team also wins the round. Players don't respawn until the round is over.
Elimination - Each team must kill all members of the opposing team to win the round. Which ever side reaches the pre-set amount of round wins is considered the victor.
Ghost Mode - One team plays as the ghosts who are invisible when standing still and translucent while moving. Ghosts may only use knives but kill in one hit. This mode is also round based, players do not respawn until the round is over.

Cross Fire Review
By Erhan Altay
Cross Fire went into open beta at the end of January, making it the first free FPS release of 2009. At first glance Cross Fire looks more like a game from the past decade than a new release. The game's graphics are similar to the popular Half Life mod, Counter-Strike which was released back in 1999. While some of the game modes do resemble those found in the classic CS, Cross Fire manages to bring some of its own unique features and adds to the formula. I won't claim Cross Fire is the best free shooter available but it's a solid game with a small 268 mb download that runs on a large range of computer specs.
Global Risk or Black List?
Downloading and installing Cross Fire is quick and painless. Even character creation is steam lined, there is no appearance customization. Instead, players chose from two nearly identical factions; the GR (Global Risk) or BL (Black List) and are taken right to the game lobby. Currently there are 4 servers but only the first seems to have anyone playing on it. I'm not sure how many people are online at any given time but it's never difficult to find a game to join so no worries there. The lobby is well organized, with a large button on top for the item shop and your storage area. On the left players can track their kill/death and win/loss ratios. Towards the bottom, you'll see a box that tracks your buddies and clan members who are online. Cross Fire has a short tutorial available for those who are not familiar with first person shooters. There is no reward to completing it but it only takes a few minutes. The tutorial covers the game's basics; movement, aiming, crouching (ctrl), jumping (space bar), walking (shift), shooting, and finally throwing grenades.
Enemy Spotted!
By far the most common game mode in Cross Fire is Team Death Match. Respawn times are low so even if you die, you can get right back into the action within a few seconds. The gameplay in this mode is similar to those of other modern tactical shooters like Combat Arms and Operation 7. Most public games lack any resemblance of team work and cooperation but this doesn't take anything away from the game's enjoyment. There are three other games modes and you can check the overview for a full description of each but the only other one worth going into detail about is Ghost Mode. Here, one team can only use knives but are nearly invisible. The ghosts must stalk down the team of regular players without getting noticed and gunned down. The regular players must rely more on their team mates to cover their backs and move with caution, keeping an ear open for footsteps as they advance. As of this writing, there are only 2 maps available for Ghost Mode which is a shame. Even Team Death Math has a paltry 5 map selection. If Cross Fire wants to compete with its graphically advanced rivals in the free to play shooter market, it had better add more maps soon.
Shop and Maintenance
The game currency in Cross Fire is 'GP' and new players start with 50,000 of these GPs. Selecting a faction (either GR or BL) costs 4,000 which leaves players with 46,000 to spend or save. The item shop has a total of 16 primary guns for sale though most have rank requirements. There are four available with no rank requirements for players to chose from. The starting gun itself is quite powerful and I had no problem handling it so feel free to save up your GP for a higher ranked gun. Weapons have a heavy cost, usually 40,000+ and it takes a great many rounds to accumulate that much GP so think twice before splurging. Besides guns, the item shop also has spray paints and other accessories for sale. A third bag can be purchased which allows players to carry additional guns with them. There are also three additional character types for sale; SAS, SWAT, and OMOH (Russian special ops.) Each of these has its own type of helmet, backpack, and ammo pouch for sale. Guns and equipment require constant maintenance in the form of repair costs which further chip away at your ability to earn GP.
Feature List
Like many other online shooters, players gain higher ranks as they play. The experience rate is pretty fast, my first rank up occurred after playing two games. Certain guns do have rank requirements but its mostly a status symbol more than anything else. Players can add others to their friend list and see when they're online along with what game room they are currently in. A quick join feature automatically places you in an available room but I rarely use it, it only takes glance to find a room hosting the map you're interested in playing. Clans allow players to form groups and battle as more organized teams. Currently, Cross Fire doesn't have anything like the clan feature in War Rock but perhaps it will come in time, the game is still in beta after all. I did experience one bug that will hopefully be cleared up soon, my music and sound didn't work properly. I run windows vista 64 bit so I'm used to the occasional glitch of this nature. As usual nProtect, the anti cheat problem employed by Cross Fire, conflicted with my antivirus (AVG Free) and had to be added to my exception list. Other than that, the game ran smoothly. Cross Fire's main strength is the ease with which a new player can start playing. A short download, quick install, no character creation or tutorial — just jump right in and start shooting.
Final Verdict: Good
Cross Fire is a new game that feels old. The graphics won't impress anyone and the gameplay is something you've seen dozens of times before. But the game is fast paced, small, and doesn't require a hefty graphics card to operate. If you're a fan of old team based shooters, Cross Fire is worth a try.

How Honey Bees Make Collective Decisions
Like to know more about honey bees make collective decisions?
Mark your calendar to attend a seminar this week at the University of California, Davis.
Brian Johnson, assistant professor at the UC Davis Department of Entomology, will speak on "Organization of Work in the Honey Bee" from 12:10 to 1 p.m., Friday, Feb. 17 in 6 Olson Hall. This is part of the Animal Behavior Graduate Group's winter seminar series.
The talk is open to all interested persons.
"I will be speaking on the role of self-organizing pattern formation mechanisms in biology using collective decision making in the honey bee as a case history," said Johnson, who joined the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty last year. He received his doctorate in 2004 from Cornell University, Ithaca, N.Y. in behavioral biology. His UC Davis lab does research on integrative approaches to honey bee behavior, genetics, evolution, and health.
Johnson's major professor, noted bee expert Thomas Seeley of Cornell, delivered two presentations at UC Davis last month.
Seeley, author of Honeybee Democracy, says that honey bees "make decisions collectively--and democratically. Every year, faced with the life-or-death problems of choosing and traveling to a new home, honey bees stake everything on a process that includes collective fact-finding, vigorous debate, and consensus building."
Fortunately, Seeley's two UC Davis talks are available for (yes, free!) public viewing on UCTV. The first, presented Jan. 19, is titled Swarm Intelligence in Honey Bees. The second, given Jan. 20, is The Flight Guidance Mechanism of Honey Bee Swarms.
Also on UCTV, you can listen to Johnson's UC Davis talk last October on How Bees Use Teamwork to Make Honey.
All three were webcast by professor James R. Carey of the UC Davis Department of Entomology. Carey strongly believes that research seminars from all 10 UC campuses should be recorded and posted on UCTV. He led the drive to make that happen.
One thing's for certain: you'll never look at honey bees the same way again after accessing these three videos--or reading Seeley's book--or attending Johnson's lecture on Friday.

The Good, the Bad and the Bugly
That's one of the topics at the next meeting of the Northern California Entomology Society, to be held from 9:15 a.m. to 3 p.m., Thursday, May 6 in the Harry H. Laidlaw Jr. Honey Bee Research Facility at UC Davis.
It promises to be lively.
And bugly.
Matter of fact, the meetings are almost always lively. Entomologists have a keen sense of humor.
Take, for instance, "The Good, the Bad, the Bugly: Controlling Pests in Home Gardens." Baldo Villegas of the California Department of Food and Agriculture will be presenting that talk at 11:15.
Two UC Davis entomologists, James R. Carey (photo above) and Robbin Thorp (photo below), will speak--Carey on the medfly and Thorp on native pollinators.
Carey, a professor of entomology who specializes in insect biodemography and invasion biology, will present his talk on "Insect Invasion Biology: Overview of the General Principles and Case Study of the Medfly in California" at 9:45 a.m.
Thorp, an emeritus professor of entomology who continues his research at his Laidlaw facility office, will discuss "Native Bees as Pollinators" at 10:30 a.m.
Other speakers are
--Ralph Fonseca of the Contra Costa County Department of Agriculture, will speak at 1:15 p.m. on "Personal Protective Equipment, Including UC Exemptions."
--Humberto Izquierdo of the Napa County Department of Agriculture, will give a talk on "European Grapevine Moth Update" at 2 p.m.
A catered lunch will be served at noon. Or, attendees can bring their own lunch. There's still time to attend and/or order lunch if you contact the society's secretary-treasurer, Extension apiculturist Eric Mussen of the UC Davis Department of Entomology faculty at firstname.lastname@example.com or (530) 752-0472.
The Northern California Entomology Society seeks new members; you don't have to be an entomologist to join. The group meets three times a year: the first Thursday in February, usually in Sacramento; the first Thursday in May, at UC Davis; and the first Thursday in November in the Contra Costa Mosquito and Vector Control District conference room, Concord.
The president is agricultural biologist Matthew Slattengren of the Contra Costa County Department of Agriculture.
And oh, yes, membership dues are only $10 a year.
That's the "good" part of the "The Good, The Bad and the Bugly."

The Medfly
The Predator and the Prey
If you've ever wondered about the relationship between predator biodiversity and herbivore suppression, that subject is on tap Wednesday, Jan. 27 at UC Davis.
The UC Davis Department of Entomology will host associate professor William Snyder (right) of the Department of Entomology, Washington State University, at a noon seminar in 122 Briggs Hall, Kleiber Drive.
The seminar is from 12:10 to 1 p.m. and will be Webcast. Folks can tune in, listen, and ask questions. Graduate students James Harwood and Amy Morice of the James Carey lab will be Webcasting the lecture. Here's the link to listen to the Webcast.
Snyder, who received his doctorate in entomology from the University of Kentucky in 1999, focuses his research on the relationship between biodiversity and biological control; community ecology; predator-prey interactions; and sustainable agriculture.
Snyder shares this abstract:
Classic ecological theory suggests that species must differ in their resource use patterns in order to co-exist. Although much recent empirical work has shown that resource use generally increases with greater species diversity, it has nonetheless proven difficult to demonstrate that resource partitioning truly underlies this pattern. Progress has been limited by the fact that differences among species in resource use typically are confounded with other species-specific attributes (size, metabolic rate, fecundity, etc.). In the first study I will discuss, we overcame this obstacle by co-opting plasticity in host choice among a community of aphid parasitoids, in order to manipulate the breadth of resource use independent of parasitoid species identity and diversity. We found that aphid suppression improved with greater specialist, but not generalist, parasitoid diversity. Thus, it was resource partitioning among species that fostered greater resource consumption in multi-species communities. I will then discuss results from several other natural enemy communities we have been studying, where resource partitioning among predator and/or pathogen species again appears to underlie stronger herbivore suppression at higher diversity levels.
Snyder's lecture is the fourth in a series of seminars that began Jan. 6 and will continue on Wednesdays through March 10. See the remainder of the seminar schedule. The seminars are archived.
James Harwood
Medfly and Moth Wars
James R. Carey is used to dissent.
The entomology professor at the University of California, Davis, fervently believes that the Mediterranean fruit fly and light brown apple moth, two exotic and invasive pests, have long been established in California and cannot be eradicated.
Trying to eradicate them, he says, is like "throwing money down a rathole."
Check out the current (Jan. 8th) edition of Science Magazine and read the three-page NewsFocus piece headlined "From Medfly to Moth: Raising a Buzz of Dissent."
This is sure to garner a plethora of comments, concern and criticism. This is about as high-profile as it gets in the scientific community. And this is not the message that the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) is trying to get across. (See CDFA's Web site on the light brown apple moth).
Carey, a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, just completed a term as the chair of the UC Systemwide Academic Senate University Committee on Research Policy. He also directs a federally funded program on lifespan and aging; the program just received a $3.4 million grant renewal from the National Institute on Aging.
"James Carey is at it again," began writer Ingfei Chen of Santa Cruz. "In the early 1990s, as a scientific adviser in California's unpopular pesticide-spraying war against the Mediterranean fruit fly, the entomologist vocally charged that the state's program was fundamentally flawed. Bucking conventional wisdom, Carey claimed that the Medfly was already established, defying the eradication attempt."
Fast forward to February 2007 and the discovery in California (Bay Area) of a new invasive pest, the light brown apple moth, a native of Australia.
Aerial spraying of a pheromone resulted in a "red-hot-public ruckus, forcing the state to shift to a plan to release zillions of sterile moths...And once again, Carey has surfaced as a relentless voice of dissent," Chen wrote.
Carey insists it can't be eradicated, that it's here to stay and we ought to focus on pest management, not eradication.
What's next? Michael Parrella, professor and chair of the Department of Entomology wants to organize a spring conference "to reexamine the invasive species-policy paradigm from to bottom," Chen wrote.
"The goal," she wrote, "is an open dialogue with major stakeholders," including the U.S. Department of Agriculture and CDFA.
Carey told us today that Parrella plans to meet with him and a group of other entomologists next week to discuss the proposed workshop.
"It would be nice to think we could sit down and discuss things," Parrella told Chen in the Science Magazine article. "It's not us versus them."

When Seminars Become Webinars
Like to know more about the biocontrol of tea pests? Aging of insects? What honey bee research is under way?
If you can't physically attend the UC Davis Department of Entomology's fall seminars, starting Wednesday noon, Oct. 7 in 122 Briggs Hall, you can participate via Webinars or listen to the archived Webcasts. Most will be Webcast.
UC Davis entomology professor James Carey, former chair of the UC Systemwide Academic Senate University Committee on Research Policy, launched a pilot program in February to inform and educate the scientific community and the public on research findings.
Carey's lab researchers and graduate students began taping the series of Webinars on Feb. 18. Then came the summer break. Now that we're into the fall season, the Webinars will continue Oct. 7.
Here's the link to access the Webinar.
The UC Davis Webinars drew international attention on March 4 when chemical ecologist Tom Baker of Pennsylvania State University spoke on "But Do We Shoot the Driver? Meeting New Challenges in Detecting Agents of Harm by Using Old Entomological Knowledge." Joining in were listeners from 10 countries: Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Mexico, France, Spain, Netherlands, Germany and Japan as well as the United States.
"We were hooked up to Pennsylvania State, too, so my colleagues knew where I was at, what I was doing and what I was saying," Baker quipped.
Fellow chemical ecologist Walter Leal, UC Davis professor of entomology, who hosted Baker, later marveled at the technology.
"Just think, someone was sitting at a computer in Japan at 4 in the morning listening to Tom," Leal said.
Both the virtual and physical audience can ask questions.
Webinars not only save time, but money, Leal pointed out. "The average round trip cost for airfare only for the 10 countries that participated in Baker's seminar is $1,480, with Mexico being the cheapest ($700) and Montivideo, Uruguay the most expensive ($3,600)."
"It means that we saved in average $59,200 considering one participant per computer," Leal said. "Note that in a couple of cases the presentation was displayed for multiple participants. If all participants would be accounted for, the cost would be astronomical."
"As for travel time, only for each way, the average for the 10 countries would be 20 hours and 30 minutes, with the shortest trip being from Mexico (six-hour flight plus six hours of layover and check-in) and the longest from Montivideo (19-hour flight, plus six hours for layover and check-in)," Leal said.
The archived Webinars, from Feb. 18 through May 27, are online.
Here's the fall line-up:
Oct. 7: Biological control scientist Madoka Nakai, associate professor, Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology, will discuss biocontrol of tea pests in her talk, "A Novel Protein from Lepidopteran Virus Killing Endoparasitoid and Viral Control for Tea Pests in Japan" (Webcast)
Oct. 14: Plant taxonomist Dean Kelch, assistant researcher, University and Jepson Herbaria, UC Berkeley, "Mimicking Science Interpretation: A Visit to the Creation Museum" (this one won't be Webcast)
Oct. 21: Entomologist James R. Carey, professor, UC Davis Department of Entomology, "Demography of the Finitude: Insights into Lifespan, Aging and Death from Insect Studies" (Webcast)
Oct. 28: Insect virus researcher Michelle Flenniken, Haagen-Dazs Postdoctoral Fellow, "Microarray-Based Pathogen Detection and the Antiviral Role of RNA Interference in Honey Bees" (not Webcast)
Nov. 4: Chemical ecologist Jonathan Gershenzon, professor, Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, Jena, Germany, "Plant Volatiles: Versatile Agents of Defense"
Nov. 18: Community ecologist and population biologist Matt Forister, assistant professor, University of Nevada-Reno, on the "Agricultural" Melissa Blue butterfly: "Anatomy of a Niche Shift: Lycaeides melissa and the Colonization of Alfalfa"
Dec. 2: Entomologist Michael Parrella, professor and chair, UC Davis Department of Entomology, "An International Perspective on Sustainable Production in Greenhouses"

Obviously Stud wasn't good enough to the be the OC when we hired Krags, but now all of a sudden he quietly has the "interim" tag removed? I don't get it. We have the $$$ to pay for the best OC in the country, but somehow we just get stuck with the guy who we didn't want in the first place.

Matthew from Shoreview, MN | 11/10/2013 10:35 AM
The optishot is a good buy. It does show if you are hitting off the toe and stuff like that pretty accurately. But it seems to not get the distance always right. It reads more accurately when the club never touches the mat, so drives are the closet to the right distance. Irons on the other hand are pretty off, but it has helped my game a lot because it shows your swing path and were you are hitting the ball on the club face. It has helped me on straightness a lot. I just hit on the driving range
Keith from Phenix City, AL | 2/24/2013 8:54 AM
I love the Optishot. I was struggling with a strong fade, and the Optishot told me exactly what was wrong. After working on the swing path and face angle, I no longer have a fade, and hit straight. I love practicing on the range, and playing full simulated rounds is great when I cannot get out to the course. If you have the room to swing a club indoors, you should get an Optishot. It is a better investment than a new driver!
TX golfer from Austin, TX | 2/19/2013 5:37 PM
Loud! I have this unit w/o the additional mat, so the unit is sitting on the concrete floor in my basement. It generates a loud noise when you hit it...noisy enough to wake up the family! The noise is also a distraction as well. "it jumps!" Literally, if you hit it hard enough, the unit will jump off the floor and screw up the reading. Again, I think this unit is meant to be sold w/ the mat that can secure it. Check out the 3bays device...much better!

I have fond memories of this neighborhood before the street trash took over. My grandmother lived on the block of 79th & Biscayne Blvd. back in the 70's.
Bottom line, it's the TV show's fault for street trash committing murder and for an under staffed homicide department pressured to close cases. Geniuses! All you NIMBY's cracked the case. Your prize? A challenge. I challenge you to move into this neighborhood, become a communist...uh hum...I mean..."community orgranizer" and work to "change" this neighborhood.
