Rated 5 out of 5 by Oldfrizzy Great They work brilliantly on my curly frizzy hair, and they heat up quickly. 12 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Jo2000 Great for thick hair This product is really good so far, as before I could never have my hair straight for more than half a day as it is very thick and my old straighteners were just not working well. But now these straighteners keep my hair straight for two whole days and my hair feels a lot softer now. 11 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Poupouille Very pleased Very pleased it completely changed the way i do straighten my hair spending only 30min when I used to spend more than an hour for an average result. 10 March 2015

Rated 4 out of 5 by Katelouise big plates with pros and cons I usually buy the regular plate GHDs but this time opted for the larger plates since my hair's so long at the moment. They are great for the lengths and ends of my hair, but I do find it trickier to get the roots perfect with these, since they're that bit chunkier. 9 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nuttyhaze2000 Absolutely the best First class straighteners,fantastic quality,extremely well made,excellent value for money,best styling product ever 8 March 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Not as good as my older GHD's They smelt plasticy when we're on and I was not happy that they had no European removal plug like my older paid of GHD's. I can honestly say it seems the quality of the products have decreased but remained at the same price. Clearly not putting customers interests first. Not happy with the product and there fore returned them. 8 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Pondski quality product Brilliant product but this is my second pair as I unfortunately left my last pair in a hotel and surprise surprise didn't get them back. 8 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Nessy1 Excellent quick styling Previously had the GHD thin plate styler but choose the V Gold Max this time. I have thick, long hair and because the plates are wider it straightens quicker and looks straighter and silkier all over. Would totally recommend this product especially if you have thick hair. Wish I had found this product sooner. 5 stars from me. ***** 7 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by BevB Brilliant product - love them I have been straightening since the 1990's and wish I'd have invested sooner. Love the plates, ease of use, design and colour. 7 March 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Gillie Disappointing I bought these to replace my old wide plate GHD's because I expected the new design to be superior and updated. What I found was that they are just not as good as my old ones - in fact, after using them for the first time, I was so disappointed with the result I got the old ones out and went over my hair with them. Only then did I get the smooth result I wanted. They don't seem to clamp onto my hair as securely as my old ones and my hair still looks 'fluffy' after using them. I tried pulling them through my hair more slowly and going over each section more times and got a slightly better result but I still don't think they are as good as the old ones and I am still considering returning them as it is a lot of money to pay for something I am not completely happy with. 6 March 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Tallulahbelle Couldn't straighten or curl long hair. The barrel was too large to successfully either straighten or curl my long hair. The style didn't last as long as it normally does with my normal GHDs. 6 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by poohbear GHD are the BEST hair straighteners. This is my third GHD straighteners, these were to replace my old wide plates as they broke. Like my other 2 GHD straighteners the GHD gold IV are lightweight, fast and come with protective top for plates to make it easier for travelling with. Will use nothing else but GHD straighteners. 5 March 2015
Rated 4 out of 5 by AmyC16 Good workhorse as usual from GHD Good workhorse as usual from GHD, larger plates reduce time required for taming frizzy hair. 5 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by 70Chick Its tamed my hair! I have struggled taming my thick, frizzy hair which has stubborn uneven kinks for over 40 years! No other hair styler, (and boy have I tried many in the past) has managed to get my hair anywhere near as straight as these do in a reasonable time! My hair does feel quite hot when I am styling it so I hope I'm not causing any long term damage? It has really changed my life I have gone from frizzy head to feeling groomed. I also don't have the arm ache from hours of struggling with hours of styling. It manages to straighten quite thick sections of my hair so really cutting back on time. If this was around in the 70's I may have achieved that elusive Purdy hairstyle? 4 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by amylouise brilliant I love my GHDs. So glad I brought them. Heat up really fast. I only wish I brought them sooner. GHDs all the way. 4 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Kayleigh1994 Brilliant design and does what it says Very good at hairstyling and does what says. I have thick hair and it's brilliant 3 March 2015
Rated 2 out of 5 by Loz12 Not overly impressed I had this same straightener for about 2 years and it stopped working so purchased exactly the same one about 6 months ago. My first straightener was perfect and stopped working due to an accident that was my fault. But this time around I'm not very impressed. Paying for a GHD I expected the same quality and performance, but it's actually the opposite. The on and off button works when it wants too, it takes a long time to heat up and is nowhere near as good as my last straightener. When this bad boy has finally had its day, I wont be buying GHD again. 3 March 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by becka96 Fabulous x This product was delivered the very next day as it said it would be, and the ghd's themselves work great with my hair type which is afro caribbean, better than my old ghd's which have the normal, thinner panel's, my hair is a lot straighter and smoother thanks to the max styler. 2 March 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by Cuchulin I had always been led to believe how much better ghds are to other straighteners. Have't found this to be the case. Overall I have been fairly disappointed with these straighteners. Having read the reviews I was expecting something that would have superior performance to my existing straighteners. In fact I have not noticed a difference and the straighteners feel flimsy. I would prefer to have some control over temperature as well. Compared to the straighteners I already have I think these are very overpriced and have no better results. 27 February 2015

Rated 5 out of 5 by redcat Extraordinary... I recently started using the ghd gold 2" styler and my thick head of wavy, frizzy, fine hair has been transformed. My old Chi stylers (the good ones that have lasted for years and years) never quite made my hair look this shiny and well-styled. It is extraordinary. My husband notices and gives me compliments! Ordering from the ghd site has been an excellent experience. 25 February 2015

Rated 1 out of 5 by Alexandra17 Not worth the hype or the money When I bought this product I expected high expectations but it did not deliver especially for the price. It snagged my hair the plates shifter so I could not apply enough pressure to the hair in order to flatten. There's no temperature gauge so it sets it's own temperature, it doesn't get hot enough to straighten it. The only part I like was the exterior. Overall I would not recommend at all the money you spend for this I would expect perfection and it is far from it. 25 February 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by LaurenJ WOW Bought these as a replacement to my old ones, that I'd had a good 5 years! Always used GHD products, simply the best. The wide plates are excellent for thicker hair. Would highly recommend to anyone :) no other brand compares. 25 February 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Baloo16 This product is excellent. My mum and I totally love the max styler. It is so quick to iron our hair straight. It heats up so quickly! 23 February 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Becca888 I love them! Going back to GHD straighteners after nearly a year without is the best feeling in the world. It's my first time with the Max Styler, and I don't regret my decision as it makes straightening quicker and easier. 23 February 2015

The present invention is directed to compound archery bows, and more particularly to a so-called single-cam compound archery bow having a power let-off cam mounted on the end of only one of the bow limbs.
Compound archery bows typically are of the so-called dual-cam design, originated in U.S. Pat. No. 3,486,495. Bows of this type typically comprise a bow handle having limbs mounted on and extending from opposed ends of the handle. Power let-off cams are rotatably mounted on the free ends of the bow limbs, and are interconnected by one or more cable sections including a draw string section. As the bow draw string is drawn away from the handle, draw force initially increases as the limbs are drawn together and the cams rotate to a power let-off point, and thereafter the leverage increases and the draw force decreases as the cams rotate further but with little additional limb flexure. This so-called compound action allows full bow draw to be maintained at lesser force without fatigue to the archer. A problem inherent in dual-cam bows of this type lies in the fact that the cams must be closely matched and synchronized with each other in order to insure straight-line (or substantially straight-line) travel of the nock point on the bowstring, and the limbs must be closely balanced and evenly stressed as the string is drawn. Damage to or mismatch of the cams, mismatch or incorrect adjustment of the limbs, or stretching of the cable sections can cause loss of synchronization between the cams and uneven stressing of the limbs, resulting in less than optimum performance of the bow and erratic arrow flight.
In order to overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of dual-cam bows, it has heretofore been proposed to provide a compound bow that has a single power let-off cam disposed at the end of one bow limb, and a control pulley or wheel disposed at the end of the opposing limb over which the bowstring is trained. U.S. Pat. No. 5,505,185 discloses such a single-cam compound bow. A control cable cooperates with a power let-off cam and a control groove in the control wheel or a second let-out groove on the power cam to maintain the desired relationship or timing between bowstring let-out grooves in the control wheel and power cam.
In this way, identical or substantially identical incremental bowstring cable travel to and from the bowstring let-out grooves is obtained, thereby yielding straight-line nock travel as the bowstring cable is drawn and released. A power cable extends from the power cam to the opposing bow limb for flexing the blow limbs uniformly as the bowstring is drawn, and for cooperating with the power cam to obtain the power let-off action that is characteristic of compound bows.
Although the single-cam compound bow disclosed in the noted patent addresses and overcomes many problems theretofore extant in the art, further improvements remain desirable. In particular, the noted patent does not disclose any means or technique for adjusting draw length of the bow. That is, the bow disclosed in the noted patent obtains straight-line nock travel for a given bow draw length for which the power cam and the control wheel or the second let-out groove of the power cam are designed. In order to change or adjust bowstring draw length, the power cam and/or the control wheel must be changed to accommodate the new desired draw length while maintaining synchronous timing between the cam and wheel. In a commercial single-cam compound bow of a different design, accommodation is made for changing the bowstring cable anchor point at the power let-off cam, and thereby changing the bowstring draw length. However, since the cams and wheels are optimized for only a single draw length, changing the bowstring anchor point inherently changes the path of nock travel as the bow is drawn and released, and consequently affects shootability of the bow.
U.S. Pat. No. 5,934,265 discloses a single-cam compound archery bow that includes a bow handle from which bow limbs project, a control wheel rotatably mounted on one end of one limb and a power cam rotatably mounted at an opposing end of the other limb. A power cable segment is anchored at one end to the one limb and at a second end to the power cam at a position to wrap into and unwrap from a power cable groove on the power cam. A bowstring cable segment is anchored to the control wheel and to the power cam at positions to wrap into and unwrap from first and second bowstring let-out grooves on the control wheel and the power cam respectively. The bowstring cable segment has a nock point disposed between the spaced limb ends. A control cable segment is anchored at one end to the control wheel at a position to wrap into and unwrap from a control groove on the control wheel, and is anchored at an opposing end to the power cam. As the bowstring cable segment is drawn away from the handle, the bowstring cable segment unwraps equally from the control wheel and power cam, wraps the power cable segment into the power cable groove on the power cam so as to draw the bow limb ends together to a power let-off point at the power cable groove, and wraps the control cable segment into the control groove on the control wheel. Length of the power cable groove on the power cam, and position of the power let-off point on the power cam, are adjustable while maintaining a fixed separation between the power let-off point and the control cable anchor on the power cam, so that the nock point travels in a straight line as the bowstring cable section is drawn and released independent of adjusted length of the power cable groove and position of the power let-off point. U.S. Pat. No. 6,082,347 discloses a single-cam compound archery bow in which, in the preferred embodiments, provision is made at both the power cam and the control wheel for adjusting bowstring cable draw length. Furthermore, timing indicia are provided on both the power cam and the control wheel for selective registry with the control cable segment on the control wheel and the power cable segment on the power cam to fine-tune adjustment of nock point travel.

The disclosures of above-noted U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,934,265 and 6,082,347 are incorporated herein by reference for purposes of background.
FIG. 1 illustrates a single-cam compound archery bow 30 in accordance with one presently preferred embodiment of the invention as comprising a handle 32 of cast magnesium or other rigid unitary construction having spaced ends 34, 36 with flat limb-mounting surfaces at each end. A pair of flexible resilient limbs 38, 40 of fiber-reinforced resin or other suitable resilient construction are mounted on handle ends 34, 36 respectively, and project away from handle 32. A control wheel 42 is rotatably mounted on an axle 44 that extends laterally across the free end of bow limb 38, such that control wheel 42 is rotatably mounted within an open notch or bracket at the free end of limb 38. Likewise, a power cam 46 is rotatably mounted on an axle 48 that extends laterally across the free end of limb 40, such that power cam 46 is rotatably mounted within a notch or bracket at the free end of limb 40. The positions of control wheel 42 and power cam 46 may, of course, be reversed. A power cable PC has a split end that is anchored to limb 38 at axle 44, preferably although not necessarily on both sides of control wheel 42. Power cable PC extends across bow 30 to power cam 46, at which power cable PC is anchored. A control cable CC is anchored at one end to control wheel 42 and at an opposing end to power cam 46. Likewise, a bowstring cable BSC is anchored at opposing ends to control wheel 42 and power cam 46. A nock 50 is carried by bowstring cable BSC between control wheel 42 and power cam 46.
Referring in detail to FIGS. 2-6, control wheel 42 comprises a one-piece frame that mounts a bearing through which axle 44 extends. A part-circular track 46 surrounds axle 44, within which a radially outwardly facing peripheral control groove 51 is formed. That is, control or timing groove 51 is of generally circular geometry off-center with respect to axle 44 around which control wheel 42 rotates. A non-circular second track 53 extends around control wheel 42 laterally offset from track 46, within which a radially outwardly facing bowstring let-out groove 52 is formed. Bowstring let-out groove 52 is thus of non-circular geometry in this embodiment of the invention. Both grooves 51, 52 are eccentric to the axis of the axle in this embodiment. Control wheel 42 is preferably of one-piece monolithic construction. At the rest position of the bow (FIGS. 1-3), bowstring cable BSC is trained entirely around bowstring let-out groove 52 to an anchor 54 carried by control wheel 42. Control cable CC is trained in the opposite direction around control groove 51, and thence to an anchor 56 on control wheel 42. In the embodiment of the invention illustrated in FIGS. 1-6, anchor 54 is adjustably positionable on control wheel 42 for fine-tuning draw length of the bow. This feature is described in greater detail in above-referenced U.S. Pat. No. 6,082,347.
Power cam 46 is illustrated in detail in FIGS. 7-14. Power cam 46 includes a cam base 60 on which a draw length adjustment module 62 and a control arm 64 are mounted. A track 66 extends around the periphery of cam base 60 and forms a radially outwardly extending bowstring let-out groove 68 (FIGS. 9-11). Bowstring cable BSC anchors at 70 (FIGS. 8, 13 and 14) adjacent to and aligned with groove 68. Draw length adjustment module 62 is rotatably mounted on cam base 60, and has a radially outwardly facing track 71 that forms the power cable take-up groove 72. A power cable anchor 74 (FIGS. 7 and 9) is provided on cam base 60 adjacent to and in alignment with groove 72 on module 62 when the module is mounted on the cam base. In accordance with one feature of the present invention, bowstring anchor 70 is formed not on cam base 60, but is assembled to the underside of module 62 at a position to be aligned in assembly with bowstring take-up groove 68 in cam base 60. By anchoring the bowstring cable to the module rather than to the cam base, major draw length changes can be made solely at the power cam while maintaining optimum stored energy in the cam throughout the entire draw length adjustment range. When draw length adjustments are made by rotating the module, the functional length of the bowstring cable changes. This results in a greater usable range of draw lengths for a given module and better stored energy characteristics. When the draw length is increased, the bowstring cable becomes effectively longer because of the direction in which the module is rotated and the fact that the bowstring is anchored to the module. Likewise, when draw length is decreased, the bowstring becomes effectively shorter. For example, draw length module 62 may provide for four inches of draw length adjustment at power cam 46 without requiring any corresponding adjustment at the control wheel, and while maintaining optimum stored energy in the bow. Draw length may be fine-tuned at the control wheel by selectively positioning bowstring cable anchor 54, which may provide incremental adjustments of ⅛ inch, for example. However, in accordance with this feature of the present invention, draw length adjustment is not needed at control wheel 42 to maintain optimum stored energy in the bow when drawn.
In accordance with another aspect of the invention illustrated in the power cam embodiment of FIGS. 7-14, control arm 64 and module 62 are of integrally formed unitary construction—i.e., one-piece monolithic construction. Control arm 64 has a peripheral groove 76 into which control cable CC wraps and then extends to an anchor 78 (FIGS. 7, 12 and 13) also affixed to module 62. Thus, both control cable anchor 78 and control cable groove 76 of control arm 64 are automatically adjustably positioned simultaneously with adjustable positioning of module 62. Provision of control arm 64 integral with module 62 not only reduces the number of component parts in the bow assembly and rigidly secures the control arm to the module against loosening during use, but also provides automatic adjustment of the control cable length simultaneously with adjustment of draw length as described above. FIGS. 7 and 9 illustrate an additional aspect of the present invention, in accordance with which indicia 80 are provided on cam base 60 for incremental register with the periphery of draw length module 62 as position of draw length module 62 is incrementally adjusted around axle boss 82 and the axis of axle 48. These indicia are preferably coordinated with incremental draw length adjustment in accordance with an instruction sheet or the like provided with the bow. For example, five arcuate lines are illustrated in FIG. 9, respectively numbered "1" to "5." Depending upon the module being employed, these lines and numbers would be coordinated on an instruction sheet with incremental adjustment positioned. For example, line "1" may be associated with a draw length of 21 inches, line "2" with a draw length of 22 inches, line "3" with a draw length of 23 inches, line "4" with a draw length of 24 inches and line "5" with a draw length of 25 inches. In accordance with this aspect of the invention, a plurality of adjustable draw length modules may be provided with the bow, each of which has a peripheral portion for incremental registry with indicia 80, but for which the incremental position numbering would correspond to differing draw lengths. Thus, by referring to the instruction sheet associated with the bow, the user may rapidly select the desired module and adjust the cables correctly to tune the bow if necessary. With the module positioned at the desired location on the cam base, the operator refers to timing marks 200 on control wheel 42 (FIG. 4) and 202 on power cam 46 (FIG. 7), which preferably are incrementally numbered in association with indicia 80 on the cam base, to make sure that the cables are adjusted correctly and properly tuned. See U.S. Pat. No. 6,082,347 with respect to tuning marks 200, 202. Compare FIG. 7 in which module 62 is at the "5" position on base 60 and cable PC is aligned with the "5" tuning mark 202, with the position illustrated in FIG. 26 in which module 62 is at the "2" position on base 60 and cable PC is at the "2" position at tuning marks 202. The module is secured in the desired position by screws 83 (FIG. 7) received in threaded openings 84 on cam base 60 (FIGS. 9 and 11). As noted above, additional fine-tuning adjustment may be implemented by positioning anchor 54 (FIG. 2) on control wheel 42.
Yet another aspect of the present invention is best illustrated in FIGS. 7-8 and 12-14. Axle boss 82 is positioned on cam base 60 to surround axle 48. Power cable groove 72 in draw length adjustment module 62 has a first portion 72 a spaced from boss 82, and thus spaced from the axis of rotation of the power cam, and a second flat portion 72 b adjacent to and tangential to the periphery of boss 82. At the rest position of the power cam illustrated in FIGS. 1, 7 and 8, power cable PC is tangential to module 62 in groove portion 72 a, extending through groove portion 72 a from anchor 74 to the end of limb 38 (FIG. 1). As bowstring cable BSC is drawn by a bow user, power cam 60 rotates clockwise in FIG. 7, and counterclockwise in FIG. 8, so as to wrap power cable PC into groove portion 72 a to and beyond the power let-off point of groove 72. At the fully drawn position, power cable PC is tangential to groove portion 72 b across boss 82 to draw stop 86. Groove sidewalls confine groove portion 72 a to prevent lateral motion of the cable out of groove 72. However, in groove portion 72 b, such groove sidewalls are eliminated. It has been found that, at the extreme of bowstring draw, the power cable is at an angle to the plane of groove 72 and rubs against the sidewalls of groove 72, and this rubbing can be felt by the bow user. Eliminating the groove sidewalls in flat groove portion 72 b eliminates this rubbing. However, the power cable extends entirely through groove portion 72 a, and thus does not slip off of module 62. Axle boss 82 has a groove segment 87 (FIG. 10) for receiving power cable PC at the fully drawn power cable position against stop 86, and a groove segment 88 for feeding control cable CC to groove 76 in control arm 64.
FIGS. 15 and 16 illustrate a modified power cam 90 in accordance with the present invention, FIGS. 17 and 18 illustrate the cam base 92 in power cam 90, FIGS. 19 and 20 illustrate the draw length module 94 in power cam 90, and FIG. 21 illustrates a number of additional draw length modules 94 a-94 e that may be used in place of draw length module 94 for differing draw length adjustments. (In all of the modifications of FIGS. 19-24, reference numerals identical to those used in FIGS. 1-18 indicate identical or corresponding components.) Power cam 90 includes draw length adjustment module 94 mounted on power cam base 92. Power cam base 92 has a track 95 with a peripheral bowstring let-out groove 96 and a power cable guide segment 98 with a power cable groove extension 100—i.e., an extension of power cable peripheral groove 102 (FIGS. 19 and 20) of draw length adjustment module 94. Boss 82 is mounted on cam base 92 for encircling axle 48, as in the prior embodiment. In this embodiment, the bowstring anchor 102 is mounted on cam base 92 adjacent to and aligned with bowstring cable groove 96, rather than being mounted on the draw length module as in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-14. Control cable CC (which may be an integral continuation of bowstring cable BSC) extends around arcuate groove 88 on boss 82, around a post 106 on cam base guide segment 98, and then to an anchor 108 also positioned on cam base guide segment 98. Anchor 108 is adjustably positionable on cam base segment 98 by means of the anchor being selectively secured within one of a plurality of adjacent internally threaded openings 110 (FIG. 17). Likewise, post 106 is selectively positionable on cam base segment 98 by means of a plurality of laterally adjacent internally threaded openings 112. Each opening 110, 112 is designated by a corresponding identifier, such as a letter "A," "B," "C," etc. Thus, the user may adjust the draw length of the bow by using the desired module and selectively positioning post 106 and anchor 108 in correspondingly identified openings 112, 110. This adjustment is preferably undertaken in conjunction with operator instructions that coordinate post positions and modules with incremental draw lengths. In this embodiment, module 94 is replaceably mounted on cam base 92 (see modules 94 a to 94 e in FIG. 21), but not adjustably mounted on the cam base. Draw length adjustment is thus accomplished by a replaceable module 94. The correct openings to be used for posts 106, 108 are noted on an operator instruction sheet and/or the replacement modules. For example, the modules may be identified by number and letter such as "1AA" (94 a in FIG. 21) indicating that openings A and A are to be used for posts 106, 108, while another module may be marked "6CD" (94 e in FIG. 21) indicating that hole C is to be used for post 106 and hole D is to be used for post 108. Anchor 74 for power cable PC is positioned on cam base 92 adjacent to and aligned with the power cable groove 100 in cam base segment 98. It should be noted that, in this embodiment of the invention, bow draw length is adjusted by changing draw length modules. Selective positioning of posts 106, 108 adjust nock point travel. That is, anchor 108 and post 106 are positioned on power cam 90 in accordance with the user instructions to obtain or approximate straight-line travel of nock point 50 (FIG. 1).
Thus, in the embodiment of FIGS. 15-21, as bowstring cable BSC is withdrawn and power cam 90 rotates clockwise in FIG. 15 (counterclockwise in FIG. 16), bowstring cable BSC is withdrawn from groove 96 on cam base 92, power cable PC is wrapped into groove segments 100, 102 on cam base segment 98 and draw length module 94, and bowstring cable BSC is unwrapped from around post 106. Eventually, bowstring cable BSC extends in a straight line from anchor 108 to the wheel at the opposing end of the bow, being unwrapped from post 106 and boss 82. It will be noted that power cable groove 102 on draw length module 94 includes a portion 102 a remote from boss 82 having groove sidewalls, and a portion 102 b adjacent to boss 82 without groove sidewalls, as in the prior embodiment.
FIGS. 22-24 illustrate a modified control wheel 120, which maybe used in place of control wheel 42 in FIGS. 1-6. Control wheel 120 is characterized by providing a bowstring track 121 with a groove 122 and a control cable track 123 with a groove 124. Grooves 122, 124 are of circular geometry, are concentric with each other and with the axis of axle 44, and have differing radii with respect to the axis of axle 44. Under certain circumstances with certain power cam constructions, it has been found that control wheel 120 provides improved control of limb travel. Control cable CC extends through groove 124 around a post 126 to an anchor 128. The smaller diameter groove 124 allows a smaller shape to be used for the second let-out groove on the power cam, particularly as compared to the use of a concentric control (idler) wheel instead of a two-groove control wheel. When employed in conjunction with a post-feed power cam of the type illustrated in FIGS. 15 and 16, use of a smaller concentric groove 124 reduces the required let-out from the post. The position of anchor 128 maybe adjustable. Bowstring cable BSC extends around peripheral groove 122 to an anchor 130. The position of anchor 130 may be adjustable.
FIG. 25 illustrates another aspect of the present invention, in which power cam 46 (FIG. 1, or power cam 90 in FIGS. 15-16, or control wheel 42 in FIG. 1 or control wheel 120 in FIGS. 22-24) is rotatably mounted to limb 40 by an axle 48 that is secured to cam base 60 and rotatably carried in bearings in limb 40. That is, axle 48 is secured to cam base 60. This may be accomplished, for example, by providing an axle opening in cam base 60 that is sufficiently small so that axle 48 is press fitted into the cam base as the axle and cam are assembled to limb 40. Alternatively, axle 48 may be secured to cam base 60 by adhesive applied to the cam base prior to assembly to limb 40. Cam 46 and cam base 60 are spaced from the opposing edges of the fork at the end of limb 40 by a pair of spacers 140, 142. A pair of sleeve bearings 144, 146 are secured in axial alignment on opposite sides of the fork in limb 40. Axle 48 is rotatably secured at each end to limb 40 by a pair of washers 148 and snap rings 150. It has been found that securement of axle 48 to cam base 60 provides a more stable assembly and reduces tilt of cam 46 during operation of the bow. It is also to be noted that principles of the present invention may be employed in conjunction with a control wheel that has a single groove around its periphery concentric with the axis of rotation. In such an application, in which the control wheel is sometimes referred to as an idler or idler wheel, the control cable and the bowstring cable form a continuous cable that simply wraps around the groove in the control wheel. The control cable and the bowstring cable form a continuous wrap around the periphery of the control or idler wheel, and neither cable segment is anchored to the control wheel.
FIG. 25 illustrates another aspect of the present invention, which may be used separately from or in combination with other aspects of the invention as described above. Each flexible resilient bow limb 38, 40 (FIG. 1) has a pulley disposed in a notch at the free end of the limb, as described above. Pulley 46 is illustrated in FIG. 25 mounted at the free end of limb 40. The notch in which the pulley is mounted is defined by a pair of laterally spaced limb forks 40 a, 40 b. A pair of clamp screws 204, 206 extend through limb forks 40 a, 40 b immediately inboard of axle 48—i.e., adjacent to axle 48 and between the axle and bow handle 32 (FIG. 1). In situations where the bow limbs are placed under extreme stress, clamp screws 204, 206 help prevent splitting or delamination of the bow limb. A second pair of clamp screws 208, 210 may be disposed outboard of axle 48 under extreme conditions. Use of clamp screws 204-210 to prevent splitting of the bow limbs in particularly effective in conjunction with compound crossbows.
FIG. 27 illustrates a single cam bow 220 having a single-groove control wheel or idler 222 and a power cam 224. Control wheel 222 has a single peripheral groove that is concentric with axle 44. Control cable CC and bowstring cable BSC form a continuous cable segment that extends around the periphery of control wheel 222. Power cam 224 (FIGS. 27 and 28) is essentially the same as power cam 46 (FIGS. 1 and 7-14), but has a control arm 226 with enlarged peripheral groove to make up for the absence of a contoured control groove on control wheel 222. FIG. 29 illustrates a single-cam bow 230 having single-groove concentric control wheel or idler 222 in combination with a power cam 90, as shown in detail in FIGS. 15-21.
There has thus been provided a compound archery bow that embodies a number of differing aspects or feature: (1) For example, in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-14, bowstring cable BSC is anchored to the draw length adjustment module rather than to the cam base itself, which maintains bow operating characteristics and stored energy as bow length is adjusted without requiring adjustment at the control wheel. (2) In accordance with another aspect of the invention illustrated in FIG. 25, the cam or control wheel is secured to an axle, which in turn is rotatably carried by the associated bow limb. This improves stability and reduces tilt of the cam or wheel. It is to be noted that this aspect of the invention is usable in both single-cam and dual-cam bows. (3) The power cable groove sidewalls on the draw length adjustment module are eliminated immediately adjacent to the axis of power cam rotation, which eliminates rubbing of limit of bowstring draw. (4) Provision of concentric cable grooves in the control wheel of a single-cam bow, as illustrated in FIGS. 22-24, provides improved control of limb travel under certain circumstances. (5) Provision of control arm 64 as an integral assembly with draw length adjustment module 62 in the embodiment of FIGS. 1-14 provides for improved adjustment of bow draw length while eliminating the need and expense of separate parts. (6) Provision of indexing adjustment marks 80 (FIGS. 7 and 9) on cam base 60 cooperates with a peripheral edge of draw length adjustment module 62 for making draw length adjustment and tuning of the bow easier. It will also be noted that this aspect or feature of the invention may be implemented in dual-cam bows as well as single-cam bows.
The several aspects or features of the invention may be used separately from each other, or in combination with each other to achieve improved bow adjustment and operating capabilities. The invention has been disclosed in conjunction with presently preferred embodiments thereof, and a number of alternatives and modifications have been suggested. Other alternatives and modifications will readily suggest themselves to persons of ordinary skill in the art. The invention is intended to embrace all such modifications as fall within the spirit and broad scope of the appended claims.

UPDATE: WWE will be represented at this year's San Diego Comic-Con, as Hulk Hogan, Daniel Bryan, Paul Heyman and Michael Cole are hosting a WWE Mattel panel to reveal new action figures and Network content.
Sting has made his first appearance for WWE at the event. He was there in full makeup as a surprise guest for the panel.
ORIGINAL: Another day, another Sting update.
While TMZ previously reported that Sting signed a promotional contract with WWE but not a wrestling contract, this is not entirely true. TMZ actually confused Sting's deal with 2K Sports for the WWE 2K15 video game with an actual WWE deal. As of Wednesday (yesterday) morning, Sting still hadn't officially signed with the company, but they are working on it and expect it to happen soon.

Wisconsin Ag News Headlines
Wisconsin Sets Another Record for Milk Production in 2015
Wisconsin Ag Connection - 05/02/2016
America's Dairyland stayed true to its name in 2015 as the state set another record for total milk production. The latest government figures from the USDA confirmed that Wisconsin produced 29 billion pounds of milk last year, four percent more than the previous record of 27.7 billion pounds harvested in 2014. Milk per cow also rose to an all-time high of 22,697 pounds, up 828 pounds from the year earlier.
As of January 1, there were 9,695 licensed milk cow operations in the state. That was down 386 from a year ago, and the first time the herd count was below the 10,000 mark in generations.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin's overall livestock inventory also increased fractionally last year. As of January 1, about 3.50 million head of cattle were counted in the state.
The number of milk cow numbers increased at year's end at just below 1.27 million head--keeping Wisconsin second behind California for number of milk cows.

Fujitsu Plans 15M Ton Carbon Reduction Through IT Efforts
Worldwide implementation of a Green Policy Innovation project is expected to net Fujitsu a cumulative 15 million ton reducing in CO2 emissions worldwide over four years, according to a press release.
During the first two years of its Green Policy Innovation program in Japan, the company was able to cut 2.23 million tons of CO2.
Now, with the program expanding globally, Fujitsu has accelerated green IT initiatives, which it expects to help achieve its goals from fiscal year 2009 through the end of fiscal year 2012.
The first effort comes through subsidiary Fujitsu Laboratories Ltd., which has developed high-efficiency gallium-nitride high electron-mobility transistors. The transistors should help minimize power loss in hardware and components.
Secondly, the company has been enhancing the design of its global data centers in Japan, the UK, Australia and other regions. In Australia, for instance, the data center uses a hybrid cooling technology that uses recycled chilled water, with spatial layout that minimizes thermal currents.
In the UK, Fujitsu Group achieved Tier III certification from the Uptime Institute.
By improving its own IT infrastructure, Fujitsu said it aims to attract more customers that seek outsourcing of data center services.
The company also is putting emphasis on developing other streams of business.
In Japan, it helped develop a traffic control system that improves the vehicle allocation and delivery routes through better use of GPS and traffic data.
In Finland, Fujitsu has been working with the health care system to implement electronic medical records. A similar effort in Japan has helped reduce CO2 emissions by 30 percent, when compared to paper-based records systems.

US Audit: $6.6 Billion in Iraq Aid May Have Been Stolen
Iraqi Officials May Sue US to Reclaim Stolen Money
The third US audit in an effort to track down $6.6 billion in "missing" Iraqi reconstruction funds has once again failed to account for its whereabouts. It is the first one, however, to concede that much of the money was likely stolen.
The audit, by Special Inspector General for Iraqi Reconstruction, blamed the Pentagon for not keeping track of the funds, reporting that the US simply loaded transport planes with $100 bills and did little to keep track of it when the planes landed. Stuart Bowen, the auditor, said it may be the "largest theft of funds in national history."
The Pentagon fired back, insisting that all of the money remained under Iraqi government control the entire time. The money was not, officials remind, US taxpayer dollars, but rather money from the UN Oil for Food program that the US was charged with delivering in the wake of the 2003 invasion.
Iraqi officials have suggested that since the US lost the money, whoever stole it, they will seek restitution from the US. Having lost the money through sheer carelessness, Rep. Henry Waxman (D – CA) warns, the Iraqi government may have a strong case.

INDIA: Government gets tough on soft drink labelling
A further notification introduced by the Indian government now makes it compulsory for soft drink producers to print the expiry date and product ingredient details on all soft drink bottles. The government issued similar notification back in December 2000 giving companies three months to fall in line with the new notice. But producers lobbying the government claimed it was logistically impossible because 50m cases of returnable glass bottles, weighing 2.4m tonnes of glass would have to be destroyed and replaced.

Here's What Taylor Swift Sounds Like Without A Band
Taylor Swift is something of a magician. You're familiar with her escape-artist trick, in which she works out at the gym, but doesn't sweat or even appear to have changed into exercise gear. And, though she wears crop tops on an everyday basis, she seems to have made her belly button disappear. Presto change-o.
Her true mastery, though, is the art of illusion. Critics of Swift often claim she can't sing live. The New York Times hasn't shied away from calling her "painfully out of tune." Yet, she manages to sell out stadiums and garner industry accolades. Unfortunately for Swift, the jig is up.
Deadspin released a video of the singer's VMA performance from Sunday night. Except, her trick's been unraveled, because the video isolates only her vocals. And, you'll be pretty disappointed to hear what Swift actually sounds like without her entourage of band members, backup singers, and special effects.
Check out the full video on Deadspin. There's a hair flip at the end you can't unsee. (Deadspin)

Weaver named OCYSF Sportsman of the Year
Angels All-Star right-hander Jered Weaver will be honored as the Orange County Youth Sports Foundation 2012 Sportsman of the Year at a banquet Tuesday night at the Newport Beach Marriott.
Weaver, 29, who resides in Newport Beach, completed his sixth season in the majors – all with the Angels – to post a career record of 82-47 with a 3.31 ERA. He had career bests with 18 victories (18-8), 2.41 ERA and 235.2 innings pitched in 2011, earning All-Star honors and finishing second for the AL Cy Young Award.
"Jered Weaver is a special athlete and we are excited to honor him as the 2012 Sportsman of the Year," said Mark Hardtke, president of the Orange County Youth Sports Foundation (OCYSF). "He has proven himself as a leader both on and off the field. His willingness to help us raise money for needed programs in Orange County will make this event memorable."
The organization has been recognizing local athletes since 1971. Angels Gene Autry (1980), Tommy John (1986), Jim Abbott (1993), Bert Blyleven (1994), Mike Scioscia (2001) and Tim Salmon (2006) have won the honor.
Several current and former Angels will be on hand to "roast" Weaver. Proceeds from the banquet will benefit local youth sports programs.

Apple's Snow Leopard upgrades Mac OS X, downgrades FlashWhile Snow Leopard makes a number of improvements to Apple's Mac OS X machines, for those who have kept Adobe Flash up to date, installing the new operating system will reportedly downgrade the software.
According to antivirus company Sophos, Snow Leopard installs version 10.0.23.1 of Flash for Mac, a security downgrade from the most up-to-date version, 10.0.32.18. Senior Technology Consultant Graham Cluley said the change is made without prompting the user. He called the move "pretty bad."
"I realize how much malware is out there," he said. "But after upgrading to Snow Leopard, when I went to Adobe's Web site, what it actually told me was I had actually downgraded. I was no longer running the latest version of Adobe Flash."
As hackers have targeted Adobe's Flash player for browser-based vulnerabilities, the company has responded, like Microsoft, by releasing regular security updates for its software. Users can check what version number they're running and download updates at Adobe's Web site.
"Mac users who have been diligent enough to keep their security up-to-date do not deserve to be silently downgraded," Cluley said. "We know that hackers keep finding security holes in Adobe's code - and that's deeply concerning because it is so widely used by many Internet users, whether on Mac or PC."
In an effort to beef up security protection, Apple included limited malware protection in its latest operating system. Though the feature only scans files for two Trojans out of the box, the basic defender could be upgraded over time to protect against other potential threats.

A look at the legacy of "Independence Day," as reflected in films that tried to top it, including its sequel.
A book review of "The Art & Making of Independence Day: Resurgence."
I started reading Laurence Sterne's The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, Gentleman in 1965, and intend to finish it any day now. That is true, and also a joke (a small one) involving a novel about procrastination. Tristram Shandy begins with its hero about to be born and becomes so sidetracked by digressions that the story ends shortly after his birth. Perhaps Sterne considered writing a sequel describing the rest of Tristram's life, but never got around to it (smaller joke).
Now comes "Tristram Shandy: A Cock and Bull Story," the movie, which never gets around to filming the book. Since the book is probably unfilmable, this is just as well; what we get instead is a film about the making of a film based on a novel about the writing of a novel. As an idea for comedy this is inspired, and Michael Winterbottom and his screenwriter, Frank Cottrell Boyce, show the filmmakers constantly distracted by themselves. "But enough about me," Darryl Zanuck once said. "What did you think of my movie?"
The film takes place on the set of a movie named "Tristram Shandy." It involves actors named Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Gillian Anderson and others, played by Steve Coogan, Rob Brydon, Gillian Anderson and others. The opening scene takes place in a makeup room, where Coogan and Brydon discuss their billing, and whether Brydon's teeth are too yellow. Coogan has the lead, playing both Tristram and his father, Walter. Brydon plays Tristram's uncle Toby, who devotes his life to constructing a large outdoor model of the battlefield where, as a young man, he suffered an obscure wound. The Widow Wadman (Anderson), who is considering marrying Toby, wants to know precisely how and, ahem, where he was wounded. "Just beyond the asparagus," Toby explains, pointing to his model landscape.
But I digress. Back to the dressing room. Coogan mentions that he has the lead in the movie. Yes, says Brydon, but Toby is "a featured co-lead." Coogan: "Well, we'll see after the edit." Both actors are competitive in that understated British way that involves put-downs hardly less obscure than Toby's wound. Coogan wants the wardrobe department to build up his shoes so that the "featured co-lead" will not be taller than the leading man. Brydon learns that Gillian Anderson has been hired to join the cast, and is panic-stricken: He is afraid that in a love scene he might blush, or be betrayed by stirrings beyond the asparagus.
There are elements of "This Is Spinal Tap" in the film, and also a touch of Al Pacino's "Looking For Richard," a semi-documentary about actors preparing to play Richard III. From "Spinal Tap" come the egos of the artists and the shabbiness of their art; from Pacino the film borrows the device of explaining the material to the viewers while it is being explained to the actors (only one person in "Tristram Shandy," and possibly nobody in the audience, has read the book).
The art is endearingly shabby. There is a screening of some battle footage in which lackluster foot soldiers wander dispiritedly past the camera, looking like extras on their lunch break. And a scene in which a miniature unborn Tristram is seen inside a miniature womb; I was reminded of Stonehenge in "Spinal Tap." The explanations of the material include witty dinner-time conversation by Stephen Fry, playing himself playing an actor playing a literary theorist. Coogan picks up enough to lecture an interviewer: "This is a postmodern novel before there was any modernism to be post about." Later it's claimed that Tristram Shandy was "No. 8 on the Observer's list of the greatest novels," which cheers everyone until they discover the list was chronological.
Now about that interviewer. He has information about a lap dancer that the actor met one recent drunken evening. It would be embarrassing to see the lap dancer on the front page of the tabloids, but the interviewer is willing to do a deal: He'll tidy the story in return for an exclusive about Coogan's relationship with his girlfriend Jenny (Kelly MacDonald), who has just given birth to their baby. It would not be good for Jenny to read about the lap-dancer.
Jenny, as it happens, has just arrived on the set, where Coogan has been having a flirtation with a production assistant named Jennie (Naomie Harris). Jennie is not merely sexy and efficient, but a film buff who offers analysis and theory to people who really only want a drink. She compares the ungainly battle scene to Bresson's work in "Lancelot du Lac," and has a lot to say about Fassbinder, who Coogan vaguely suspects might have been a German director. Not surprisingly, Jennie is the only person on the set who has read the novel, and tries to explain why the battle scene isn't exactly important.
Because their work is so varied, the director Winterbottom and Boyce, his frequent writer, are only now coming into focus as perhaps the most creative team in British film. Their collaborations include films as different as "Butterfly Kiss," "Welcome To Sarajevo" ," "The Claim," "Code 46" and "24-Hour Party People." That the same director and writer could make such different films is almost inexplicable, and consider too that Winterbottom directed "Wonderland" (2000) and Boyce wrote Danny Boyle's "Millions."
Boyce told me "Tristram Shandy" might sound a little like Charlie Kaufman's screenplay for "Adaptation," but he thinks it's closer to Truffaut's "Day for Night" (am I sounding a little like Jennie here?). It wonderfully evokes the life on a movie set, which for a few weeks or months creates its own closed society. Wives and lovers visit the set but are subtly excluded from its "family," and even such a miraculous creature as a newborn baby is treated like a prop that is very nice, yes, but not needed for the scene. As the final credits roll, Coogan and Brydon are still engaged in their running duel of veiled insults. They are briefly diverted, however, by imitating Pacino as Shylock. Every actor knows what David Merrick meant when he said, "It is not enough for me to succeed; my enemies must fail."

BYU gymnastics: Cougars finish third at Perfect 10 Challenge
OKLAHOMA CITY – The BYU women's gymnastics team got off to a fast start but finished in third place with a 194.175 at the Perfect 10 Challenge in Oklahoma City on Friday night.
The Cougars finished behind No. 2 Oklahoma's 197.450 and No. 16 Boise State's 195.575. Texas Woman's scored a 191.425 for a fourth-place finish.
"We have two home meets coming up and we need to push until the end," head coach Brad Cattermole said. "We scored well on bars and I was happy with that but we just had an off night on beam. We'll need to come home and regroup for the rest of the season now."
BYU notched a season high on the bars to start the meet with a 49.050. Haylee Rollins tied a season best with a 9.875 and three more Cougars tied or set their career highs. Eliane Kulczyk scored a 9.825, Sarah Yandow Wensel posted 9.800 and Marguerite Lindstrom recorded a 9.750. Raquel Willman also added a 9.800.
The beam wasn't as successful for the team with a few miscues. However, freshmen Summer Raymond impressed in her second career routine on the beam with an even better score than her first with a 9.825. Makenzie Johnson picked up a 9.775 and Willman added 9.750, but BYU scored just a 48.000 as a team.
On the floor exercise, the Cougars rebounded with a 48.750. Rollins led with a 9.825 and Wensel and Kulczyk grabbed matching 9.750's. Megan Bain added a 9.725 and Willman scored a 9.700.
Wensel and Johnson had BYU's highest scores on the vault with a pair of 9.775's. Willman nabbed a 9.725 as the Cougars went on to finish the vault a team score of 48.375 en route to a third-place finish on the night.
Willman finished the all-around completion with a score of 38.975.
BYU returns to the Smith Fieldhouse to host Southern Utah on Saturday, Feb. 23 at 1 p.m. MST.

"Outstanding!! Seafood"
Great décor with fantastic service and more importantly our halibut and salmon wellington was outstanding.
"Simply the best meal I've EVER had in Victoria"
Business dinner with our most important suppliers. Party of 10. We go for dinner twice per year, once here in Victoria and again in Vegas in the Spring. We have eaten some amazing meals in Vegas at places like Guy Savoy, American Fish and Estiatorio Milos. In Victoria we have often found ourselves at Il Terrazzo but a party of 10 can be tough to squeeze in, so we decided to try the newly renovated Pescatores. Glad we did... I've lived in Victoria for 25 years and have eaten everywhere during that time, only a few are still in business from when I arrived - this was a special surprise - simply put: The Kitchen at Pescatores is the BEST food and overall dining experience I've ever had in Greater Victoria...
"Great seafood downtown"
We ate in the lounge area. The seafood was fresh, fresh, fresh! I had the seafood pasta - I have never had squid so tender. My mom had the mussels/clams combo -- it was delicious. The bread that came to sop up the juice the mussels were cooked in was just the right kind of chewy. We had a great meal. Thank you!
