CrossFit is an exercise program developed by CrossFit, Inc. and practiced by members of more than 6,000 gyms and individuals, mostly in the U.S. According to Wikipedia, "CrossFit advocates a mix of aerobic exercise, gymnastics (body weight exercises), and Olympic weight lifting. CrossFit describes its strength and conditioning program as 'constantly varied, high intensity, functional movement,' with the stated goal of improving fitness (and therefore general physical preparedness), which it defines as 'work capacity across broad time and modal domains.' Workouts are typically short - 30 minutes or less - and intense, demanding all-out physical exertion. They combine movements such as sprinting, rowing, jumping rope, climbing rope, flipping tires, weightlifting, carrying heavy objects, and many bodyweight exercises; equipment used includes barbells, dumbbells, gymnastics rings, pull-up bars, kettlebells, medicine balls, and Boxes for Box jumps.

"These elements are mixed in numerous combinations to form prescribed 'Workouts of the Day' or 'WODs.' Hour-long classes at affiliated gyms, or 'Boxes,' typically include a warm-up, a skill development segment, the high-intensity WOD, and a period of individual or group stretching. Performance on each WOD is often scored and/or ranked to encourage competition and to track individual progress. Some affiliates offer additional classes, such as Olympic weightlifting, which are not centered around a WOD. The aim of CrossFit is to physically prepare people for whatever life might throw at them. It is not about following a particular routine, but about constantly varying workouts."

Gregg Weiss of Blue Whale Apps explains, "WOD Challenge takes the competitive nature of CrossFit and turns it into a mobile and social experience that you can share with your friends and fellow Athletes. Now Athletes and Boxes can see where they rank on the WOD Challenge global leaderboards."

Device Requirements:
* iPhone 4/4S/5, iPod touch (3rd/4th/5th generation)
* Requires iOS 6 or later
* 9.3 MB

Mac App Blocker 2.5 for OS X - A Single Password Protects Selected Apps - Published on 08/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

KnewSense today announces Mac App Blocker 2.5 for OS X, a major update to its utility that allows users to add password protection to individual applications. Safer and more practical for ensuring privacy than multiple logins, Mac App Blocker lets users share their computer or leave it unattended, confident that sensitive apps and documents cannot be opened. Now available as a 15-Day Free Trial, this update includes a refined UI, rule-based control of how and when apps launch, and a new history.

Clinton Twp, Michigan - KnewSense today is pleased to announce Mac App Blocker 2.5 for OS X, a major update to its utility that allows users to add password protection to individual applications, simply by placing them on a Blocked App list. A safer and more practical solution for ensuring privacy than creating multiple login accounts, Mac App Blocker allows users to share their computer or leave it unattended, confident that sensitive apps and documents cannot be opened. In addition, a timeout value may be assigned to each app on the list, so that the app will automatically close after a specified period of inactivity. The simple app appears as a convenient Menu Bar icon, and gives users the option of whether or not it launches automatically at startup. Now available as a 15-Day Free Trial, this updated version includes a refined UI, rule-based control of how and when apps launch, and a new history of failed attempts to access an app.

Feature Highlights:
* Does not modify any system or application files
* Works with the majority of Mac applications - Mail, Safari, Firefox, System Preferences, etc.
* Limit kids' access - allow them access to some apps (Games, iTunes, etc.) but not others (Quicken, System Preferences, Mail)
* Logs invalid or failed attempts to launch application with date and time and optional photo
* Alerts users to a possible failed attempt with a visible red icon in the taskbar
* Can automatically Exit an inactive application - great for Apple Mail and Safari
* Optionally exit ALL protected apps at System Startup
* Scheduling - add scheduled days/times to block/unblock each application or All applications, e.g., after school (3:00-5:00) but not after 10:00 pm
* Networks - add trusted networks to unblock applications when connected to specific networks
* Clean User Interface - blocked apps and Preferences in one window
* Multiple App Additions - add multiple apps to the blocked apps list at one time
* Runs in the background, waiting to intercept an application launch
* Lockdown Mode - temporary lockdown mode; protect your open applications when you step away from the computer without exiting the apps
* Stealth mode - hides the icon in the menu bar and presents a fake error message dialog instead of the standard password dialog

Mac App Blocker requires minimal setup for operation. First, the user must supply a private password, which will unlock both the utility itself as well as any application that has been placed on its Blocked App list. Once started, the app runs in the background, occupying little RAM and using minuscule CPU resources only when the app's password is entered or changes are made to the Blocked App list. The number of applications that can be placed under the utility's protection is virtually unlimited. The second step is clicking the "+" button to add applications to the list.

Improvements in Version 2.5:
* Updated interface - refined UI to improve usability and presentation
* Failed history viewer - larger and with options to save images to disk; records and saves ALL failed attempts
* Rules added - rules are used to control how and when an app will launch
* Minimum Time Limit Rule - specify the minimum amount of time between app launches
* Frequency Rule - specify how often an app is allowed to launch (useful for procrastinators and parents)
* Minor fixes - improved support for some problematic apps
* Added French and German language support

On attempting to launch any application on the Blocked App list, the standard OS X "Enter Password" window opens, stating, "Type your Mac App Blocker password to allow access to this application." Entering the password instantly opens the application, and failed attempts are recorded in the utility's Blocked App list, displaying the number of failed attempts, the date, time, and a photo of the user. The app's Menu Bar lock icon turns red, notifying the user that an unsuccessful attempt has been made to open blocked data/apps. Additional protection is provided by the utility's timeout feature, which automatically closes any listed app after a specified period of inactivity (30 sec., 5 min., 10 min., 20 min.). Of course, listed applications can be easily added or deleted, and all protection can be disabled for a single session, resuming on restart.

"Kids, co-workers, family members, guests - no worries," stated Ken Orlo of KnewSense. "You pick which apps will be protected and Mac App Blocker keeps them secure. It also tracks failed attempts to access the protected apps - so you'll know when it happened."

Language Support:
* English, German, French, Italian, and Spanish

System Requirements:
* Mac OS X 10.6 or later
* Intel 64-bit
* 11.1 MB

Pricing and Availability:
MacAppBlocker 2.5 is $14.95 (USD) and available worldwide exclusively through the KnewSense website. A 15-Day Free Trial Download is also available.

Kingdom of Pirates 1.1 Makes PVP Addictive - Published on 08/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Toivon Software Studio today announces Kingdom of Pirates 1.1 for iOS, an update to its multiplayer strategy game with tons of heart-racing PVP action. Kingdom of Pirates features PVP warfare and tons of player-to-player interaction. As captain of the pirate ship, players must make all decisions for his or her crew. This free-to-download MMORPG features hundreds of quests and an endless adventure at sea. Now, thanks to version 1.1, PVP has gotten way more exciting.

Shanghai, China - Kill Them Pirates! Oh wait, we're pirates too. Toivon Software Studio today is thrilled to announce the release of Kingdom of Pirates 1.1 for iOS, an update to its multiplayer strategy game with tons of heart-racing PVP action. This free-to-download MMORPG for iPhone, iPad, and iPod features hundreds of quests and an endless adventure at sea. Now, thanks to version 1.1, PVP has gotten way more exciting.

As captains of pirate ships, players must sail from island to island, defeating their foes and doing what they can to grab some nice booty - that is pirate word for treasure, by the way. Players can also pillage one another in Open Waters, a PVP activity in they can acquire crops, gold, runestones, and infamy.

When players become mighty infamous, they can advance to scarier parts of Open Waters, like Foggy Straight and Trepid Seas! Shiver me timbers! These dangerous waters give players lots of wonderful privileges, like advanced equipment forging and the opportunity to team up with fellow players for Team Mode battles! The latest maintenance has made Team Mode levels easier, and older players will also be delighted by how smoothly Open Waters now runs.

Kingdom of Pirates starts off with a rich, detailed narrative that doubles as a tutorial, guiding player and crew around after an emergency landing on an unfamiliar island. On this island, the player can collect resources, train officers, forge weapons, and recruit more pirates. One of the pirates, Mary Read, can now be recruited much more easily than before. A player must have a powerful crew to defeat treacherous foes like the ghost of William Kidd!

Infamy isn't just for moving to higher Open Waters areas - it can also benefit your guild! Players from top guilds can receive weekly stipends. Members of the same guild, or "guildies," can also send each other special gifts and communicate in a guild-only chat room. Guilds also offer guild techs, which are special services that make leveling easier! In Kingdom of Pirates 1.1, players of the same guild will have their Open Waters bases marked the same color for easier identification purposes.

Infamy can also be acquired in Kingdom of Pirates' other PVP activity - the Pirate Tourney! In a bloodthirsty duel to become the most notorious pirate around, captains sic their crews on each other. The higher a player's rank in the Pirate Tourney, the better prizes he or she can get from winning.

Kingdom of Pirates is an epic game where players can make friends, make enemies, and make history. The game has constant player interaction. The life of a pirate is always bursting with danger and excitement, and Kingdom of Pirates delivers! Heave-ho, it's time to grab some booty!

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad
* Requires iOS 4.3 or later
* 84.2 MB

Pricing and Availability:
Kingdom of Pirates 1.1 is Free and available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Games category.

DivingSigns: The new app for learning the essential diving hand signals - Published on 08/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

UK based LearningSigns just released DivingSigns 1.0 for iOS, which enables future divers to learn the hand signals by playing a brain game. Their learning game is a practical, researched approach for learning underwater communication. It helps users to memorise the essential diving hand signals. Players learn in a fun and effective way and receive immediate feedback on their proficiency. The game is an ideal helper for the preparation of the PADI or SSI certification.

London, United Kingdom - During a basic scuba diving course new divers learn how to assemble and use their diving equipment and fundamental underwater skills. Since comprehensible vocal communication underwater is difficult or nearly impossible, new divers are also required to learn a series of standard hand signals. These include signals for distress, direction and the condition of the diver. Memorising the hand signals is not only essential for getting the PADI or SSI certification; it is vital for every diver's safety and the safety of your diving buddy. However, learning them by heart can be quite challenging.

Players learn in a fun and effective way and receive immediate feedback on their proficiency.

Features:
* Easy memorization of the essential diving hand signals
* Learn in a fun and effective way
* Immediate feedback on learning progress
* Share results with friends and diving buddies on Facebook
* Localized for English and German

The DivingSigns app is also a great way for certified scuba divers to brush up their knowledge of the hand signals before a refresh dive. Playing the first package the future diver learns the 26 normed diving signs. The second package offers additional, commonly used diving signs.

Author Tracy Falbe Appears on Adventures in Scifi Publishing Podcast - Published on 08/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Tracy Falbe was the guest author on the 224th episode of the long running podcast Adventures in Scifi Publishing on August 18th. The author of eight fantasy novels, Her interview focused on Rys Rising, the first novel in the series she completed last October with the publication of Love Lost. Her nearly hour long interview with executive producer Timothy C. Ward introduced listeners to her fantasy world, magical system, and her many years of experience as an independent author.

Battle Creek, Michigan - Tracy Falbe author of The Rys Chronicles and Rys Rising fantasy series was the guest author on the 224th episode of the long running podcast Adventures in Scifi Publishing on August 18th. Her nearly hour long interview with executive producer Timothy C. Ward introduced listeners to her fantasy world, magical system, and her many years of experience as an independent author.

Falbe is the author of eight fantasy novels: Union of Renegades, The Goddess Queen, Judgment Rising, The Borderlands of Power, Rys Rising, Savage Storm, New Religion, and Love Lost. Her interview focused on Rys Rising, the first novel in the series she completed last October with the publication of Love Lost.

Falbe writes epic series that span years and include multiple civilizations within the magical world of the rys, the race she developed for her fiction. She discussed with Ward her techniques for managing a large cast of characters and emphasized that people are capable of following complex sagas. Citing the popular television series Mad Men, Falbe noted that viewers happily juggle multiple story lines season after season.

In her fiction, Falbe works with heavy themes like oppression, war, and how religion is used to control and exploit societies. In Rys Rising one of the main rys characters named Dacian is highly idealistic but intractable oppression beats him down.

Falbe said, "Dacian starts out wanting to be like Martin Luther King Jr. but ends up like Pol Pot."

As a writer her goal is to tie all her story lines together and build one big story across the series while crafting a specific story within each novel.

Because she has been self publishing fiction since 2005, Falbe also answered questions about her writing and editing process. She revealed some of the items on her editing checklist and how she applies it to every chapter.

The Adventures in Scifi Publishing podcast was created in 2006 by retired host Shaun Farrell. Continuing with Ward as executive producer, the podcast can boast of interviews with Neil Gaiman and Patrick Rothfuss.

Describing the podcast, Ward said, "It provides literary inspiration for book lovers and writers."

He added, "I grew up a fan of the show, jogging to success stories by my favorite authors, and now aim to continue the tradition with weekly inspiration to your search for great books and the dream of writing full time."

Falbe appreciated the chance to appear on the podcast because indie authors have limited opportunities to communicate with readers.

The podcast with her interview can be accessed at the Adventures in Scifi Publishing website and at iTunes. Additionally readers can find all of Falbe's novels at her web store Brave Luck Books or any major online ebook retailer, including Apple's iBooks.

GPS - info 1.0 for iPhone, iPod, iPad - bookmarking locations - Published on 08/20/13

IMMEDIATE RELEASE

grapevine-cottage today is proud to announce the release of GPS - info 1.0 for iPhone,iPod and iPad. The app leverages full apple map support, and puts a focus on sharing and bookmarking locations with a longterm perspective. This app addresses several needs, from capturing a location quickly with a tap, managing bookmarked locations efficiently and utilising and sharing locations as needed. The app is designed already with iOS7 design guidelines, with strong focus on content and clear design.

Durbanville, South Africa - grapevine-cottage today is proud to announce the release of GPS - info 1.0 for iPhone, iPod and iPad. The app leverages full apple map support, and puts a focus on sharing and bookmarking locations with a longterm perspective. This functionality addresses several needs, from capturing a location quickly with a tap, managing bookmarked locations efficiently and utilising and sharing locations as needed. The app is designed already with iOS7 design guidelines, with strong focus on content and clear design.

In an initial statement, the lead developer expressed the strong user oriented motivation driving the development:"The design of GPS - info 1.0 is really driven by a number of use scenarios, that so far have not been addressed sufficiently. Just imagine that you are in a conversation that you don't want to interrupt, and want to remember the current location. With GPS - info this is launching the app, tap big field on the screen, done! This is not restricted to addresses in a town, but works for every location!". Going on, he referenced further examples like keeping track of places when on tour with a real estate agent, or collecting locations on a "once in a lifetime" world trip.

To serve as a reference tool, the app shows the current locations coordinates and altitude on the screen at all times, and it supports all map types standard, satellite and hybrid.

Full information display and easy and efficient bookmarking of a location is complemented by a full range of management and utilisation options. Locations are easy to find through the capability of sorting by country, city or date, and the data can be saved to iTunes for backup and sharing with other devices. Sharing is made easy using the standard iOS options for email, iMessage, Facebook, Weibo and Twitter. Standard use options are storing to the photos library, printing, or copy to clipboard for use in other apps. Additionally the GPS data and address can be added to the address book together with a link to the maps app, and the current or bookmarked location can be opened directly in Apple maps, to see the flyover mode, or get routing directions.

A special feature is the use of location services on all iOS devices - also those that do not have GPS on board. This makes the app work perfectly on an iPod or iPad wifi - with some limitations in accuracy and working areas. The iOS wifi-based location services work best in dense populated areas, and might not give the expected results in locations far away from wifi hotspots.

"Our aim is to give the user control over the locations he is visiting - capture with a tap, easily find and manage, and share and use with all available possibilities." the lead developer summarized to conclude his statement.

Languages:
The app is available fully localized in English and in German; however the
main screen items (dates, country names, city and street names) are available in all Apple supported languages.

Units:
In the settings app, the display of distances as miles or meters can be set to the user preference, or automatic by country (default).

User support:
* Contact to support is built in to the app, support languages are English and
German.

Features:
* full GPS or location services information display on screen, together with the map
* bookmark location with one tap
* works with iOS location services, no GPS required
* share locations via email, iMessage , Facebook, Weibo or Twitter
* backup location data to iTunes
* save image to photos library, print, copy, store address and map link to address book
* open in Apple maps for flyover and routing directions
