Callaway RAZR X Tour
From Our Editors
What Golfers Are Saying
Ray Peterson
Does the PGA review clubs that us common folk can afford? Something maybe under $600.
Henry Williams
This club is the best club that I have hit in the last 40 years of playing golf. The Razr X Tour goes 10 yards farther than my 8 year old Titleist Irons and they are much more accurate than any iron that I tested.
Henry Williams
I also have been playing golf since high school. I started out with the old Power Built Blades and then moved to the old Titleist Blades.....wow.....irons have come a long ..long ways.............I just purchased a set of Razr X tour irons and wow....I hit them 10 yards farther than my old Titleist Irons and they go much straighter also.
I was fitted with several different irons, from Mizuno to Titleist and by far the best, longest, straightest and best looking were the Razr X Tour Irons. I liked them better than the Blades....more foregiveness and hit them straighter.
I also tried many woods and settled on the Ping F20....wow....these Ping G20 Woods fly farther are much more accurate than my old Titleist and Cobra Woods. The Ping G20 3 wood and the Ping F20 5 wood are the best fairway woods that I have ever hit in my over 40 years of playing golf.
Steven Brown
I have been hitting Pings since High School but was in the market for new clubs and came across the Razr X irons. I consider myself a pretty good golfer but never thought I would be able to hit Tour irons. I gave it a shot and never looked back. I hit these irons straight as an arrow and longer by at least 10 yards per iron. Flight trajectory is great, weight distribution in the head is fantastic, and they are very forgiving even though they are tour irons. These Razr X Tour irons with the S300 shaft will be in my bag for a long time!

Features & Benefits
- Longer and 26% more accurate than its predecessor, this Tour-inspired iron delivers consistent distance control for more accurate shots
- RAZR Technology shifts the center of gravity 23% lower and 18% deeper for enhanced playability, while also maintaining the turf interaction advantages and workability of a thin-sole iron.
- VFT Face and High-Definition Undercut cavity are tuned to each individual iron. The result is more consistent ball speeds across the face for more distance and accuracy, even on miss-hits.
- Smaller profile with less offset and a thinner topline for a sleeker look at address.
- Golfers who prefer to play hybrids instead of long irons can substitute RAZR X Tour Hybrids into their set

Things that bring us together can drive us apart.
I'm getting interested in fashion, these days. I like my Flemings jeans and my Gola training shoes. Most of all, I like my new Ben Sherman shirt with the button-down collar. I have waited months to get one and it's a beauty – white with blue stripes.
Tom Allen has a Ben Sherman too, of course. We are best friends, although he lives in a better part of town. We met in infants' school, became altar boys together and enrolled in the same secondary school, not long ago. At weekends we play football and tennis or go to watch Liverpool play at Anfield, wearing our Flemings jeans and Gola trainers.
Tom's mum works in a bank, she's quite posh, likes talking more than listening and can be a bit prickly if you cross her. She comes to our house to drink tea with my mum every Sunday after Mass and they agree we look smart in our Bennies. Tom's is yellow and white check.
So far so good, but we need a special occasion to wear our new shirts and impress the girls in our class, show them there is more to us than they might think. We are 12 years old when our chance comes: a school day trip to Stratford upon Avon, to see the house of William Shakespeare. He's a dead guy who wrote comedies that you never see on TV but it will be a good day out.
I'm not sure who suggests we wear Bennies on the trip, probably one of the bad lads that live near me? Anyway, Tom agrees it's a good idea. The only problem is, school uniform is compulsory for day trips: maroon blazers, grey pants and grey sweaters. The solution, we decide, is not to tell our parents that we are supposed to wear grey shirts too.
The morning of the trip, we line up alongside the school bus, clutching our packed lunches and wearing our Bennies with school ties (full Windsor knot, of course).
We're feeling good until we spot our strict headmaster standing on the bus. We had no idea he was coming. He's frowning down at the bad lads ahead of us. "Where are your school shirts?" he says.
"Mine got ripped," says the first lad.
"Mine is in the wash," says the second.
The headmaster scowls and lets him on the bus but his eyes pop when he sees Tom and me. He folds him arms and says: "Ormsby and Allen, why the hideous shirts? You know you're breaking school rules, of course?"
We know it will sound stupid to repeat the lies of the bad lads but we don't know what else to say because we're not schmecher. We are altar boys with big ideas and wobbly legs so we remain silent and our headmaster says: "Silence is an admission of guilt. You are not coming to Stratford." The doors hiss and the bus drives away and the girls from our class stare from the back window. "Now what?" Tom says and it's a good question.
We could muck about in a park all day and go home in the evening and tell our folks Stratford was brilliant. Instead, we wander home in shock and tell our parents the truth, when they ask. Honesty seems a good idea but it changes everything.
Tom's mother is very angry that we were punished while the other boys were not. A week later day she sends him to a different school, five miles away. We'll never sit in class together again and soon he's got new friends that I do not know. She also changes his church routine so we no longer serve Mass together. Does she blame me, somehow? She stops visiting my mother for tea and chat … have our parents had a row?
I never find out, because Tom and I drift apart and it hurts like hell, as if I lost an arm. We meet only twice a term when our school football teams play and he seems to delight in speeding past me as a striker and I delight in bringing him down to earth as a defender. We are not enemies but we're not friends anymore.
Tom is 16 when his mother dies of a heart attack. I go to the funeral but he drifts past me like a ghost.
We meet by chance one warm summer evening aged 18, queuing at the bar in a pub. We chat briefly about our plans for college. Tom is wearing a Ben Sherman, I can tell by the stitching and the little loop on the back. They are cool shirts, always will be.
When I take my drinks back to my girlfriend, she says: "Who was that?"
I gaze into my beer and say: "Some lad I used to know."

Richardson-based MetroPCS enters merger agreement with T-Mobile: Impact of deal on T-Mobile's Frisco office not known
T-Mobile�s regional office in Frisco, seen above, is the company�s second-largest office in the nation. Earlier this year, T-Mobile laid off 615 positions in the city. Photo by Kelsey Kruzich.
By Anthony Tosie, firstname.lastname@example.com
Richardson-based MetroPCS announced this morning that it has entered into a merger agreement with T-Mobile.
MetroPCS has agreed to acquire all of T-Mobile's stock and provide Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile's parent company, with a 74 percent stake in a new, combined company. The remaining 26 percent will be retained by MetroPCS, although the new company will be taken public and sold on a U.S. stock exchange.
Stockholders of MetroPCS will receive a $1.5 billion cash payment -- or about $4.09 per share -- prior to the merger and creation of the new company.
On a conference call this morning, John Legere, T-Mobile president and CEO, said the company will seek to expand its coverage in important markets, including the Dallas area.
"Together, we will have an increased network density, coverage and capacity in major metropolitan areas such as New York, Los Angeles and Dallas," said Legere, who will also serve as president and CEO of the company. "In fact, the combined company will enable a deeper LTE network deployment [with high-speed wireless service] in many, many metropolitan areas."
What impact -- if any -- the proposed merger will have on T-Mobile's regional office in Frisco is not known. That office is the company's second largest; only T-Mobile's headquarters is larger. In 2011, T-Mobile was the second-largest employer in Frisco with 1,500 employees, although it laid off 615 positions in the city earlier this year.
Requests for comment from a T-Mobile representative regarding the impact of the merger on T-Mobile's Frisco offices went unanswered.
The proposed company will have about 42.5 million subscribers, Deutsche Telekom said. T-Mobile's customer base will account for about 33 million of those subscribers, while MetroPCS's customer base will account for more than 9 million subscribers.
T-Mobile's Dallas area employees have been at a corporate event at the Sheraton Downtown Dallas Hotel since Tuesday morning.
At that event, Jon Freier, regional vice president and general manager of the Dallas area for T-Mobile, said the wireless provider has improved its presence in Denton and Collin counties with improved wireless coverage.
"We have about 1,000 cell sites across the Dallas area," Freier said. "Dallas is one of our biggest and fastest-growing markets, and we're working as fast as we can to get the network to become faster and more reliable. Everything from Frisco to Flower Mound, Plano and the majority of the Dallas area is now 4G."
T-Mobile plans to open three new stores in Denton and Collin counties in the coming months, Freier said.
The proposed merger isn't the first for T-Mobile in the past year.
In 2011, Dallas-based AT&T announced plans to purchase T-Mobile and merge the two companies. When AT&T was unable to get the regulatory approval necessary to purchase T-Mobile and abandoned the planned merger it was forced to pay a breakup fee to T-Mobile.
That breakup fee -- $3 billion in cash and $1 billion worth of the wireless spectrum AT&T owned -- has since allowed T-Mobile to expand its 4G and LTE coverage in the United States, including the Dallas area.

Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Hullo Elves, Hobbits, Men, Dwarfs and monsterplayer maggots!
It is 2am in the morning and i am recovering not from a night of drunkeness in the Green Dragon, but a solid two hour friendly debate with a completely random person (you know who you are), this debate was such a good one.. i am now doubting everything i ever knew! Or am i, i am just conforming to a set of emotions... you get the drift
It was such a good debate it has spurred me to ask the question why are we on the [EN-RP] Laurelin server playing LOTRO. Each response i presume will be from an individuals perspective as we are all entitled to express our opinions respectfully as well as respectfully commenting on others.
Before such a high risk post i will say a prayer to the forums gods that all who post here will be safe from trolls.... wait!? Isnt this just a form of intellectual trolling? Or non intellectual depending on how you look at things... Or is debate trolling in its purest form? Ill get back on topic
Question "Why are we on the [EN-RP] Laurelin server playing LOTRO... answer.. if you dare!
Apr 10 2012 10:29 PM #2
Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I am on Laurelin the Roleplay Server, because the RP here is immersive and much more within the spirit of The Lord of the Rings and Middle-earth..
The wonderful actual RP immersive and lore-based Events such as :
Hall of Fire
Green Dragon
And Events of the past, such as :
The Gathering Storm
Blue Mountains Council
And of course the Laurelin Archives!
All that together, just shows what kind of Roleplayers and a RP community Laurelin has and how they do try and care to create/enrich an immersive all around atmosphere true to the books (as much as that can be possible at least) which makes the game look and feel (for the most part at least) for a roleplayer as the known Middle-earth.
Now i understand why even a developer said that this is the real RP server, back when Turbine took over the EU servers (his words not mine)
And for that kudos!Last edited by ''Cris'''; Apr 10 2012 at 10:34 PM.

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Because i started on Snowborne and no one talked using the bubble speech option or even in the say channel. So as my character reached the dizzy heights of 20th level i decided started again on Laurelin and have never looked back.

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Well, I can say for one I'm not a huge gamer - in fact, LOTRO is the only game I play. So for me, it's easy to say I'm here (on LOTRO) because I love the world Tolkien created. And the reason I'm on THIS server is because the community really immerses you in that world so many of us love. I would never play a game just to level - I personally just don't find that very exciting. I love creating characters and creating their stories which is why I RP
So there you have it: I get to create characters and live out their stories (RP) in a world I'm in love and fascinated with (Middle Earth) in an immersing and friendly community (Laurelin).

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I guess that i expected RP server to have more mature community. And obviously since being a bit of a lore-nerd RP server just felt like the right choice!

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Well, it used to be the world of Tolkien, but that has now stepped abit back, and the people and the community are my main reason.
Let us keep it that way.

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Because the [EN-RP] tag attracted me, it was longer then the other tags! Lotro is my first mmo and i didn't know what those tags meant, other then the commonly used language.

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I'm here because Laurelin is a roleplay server and I love roleplay. It's as simple as that. I started on this server and here I'll remain.

because the biscuits are better...and the cream cakes...oh and the buns...oh oh and those jam filled doughy things with cinnamon....and the ale...mustnt forget the ale

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Because i mainly joined to visit a virtual rendition of middle-earth, and that the 'RP' flag seemed to guarantee better immersion, both in names (no Gankninja, Lulzgolas, Aragoon or GimliTheLoot) and day-to-day interaction with players since i assumed the community would be a bit more mature and friendly than your average mmo population.
Overall, it went according to plan. Sure, every now and then you come across an obnoxious player but as a rule, i found people here very nice to play/chat with.[EN-RP] Laurelin: Trufflewise Myrtlepot (Hobbit Burglar) - Uthrek Wintermane (Dwarf Champion) - Berthon Pilchard (Man Captain) - Finglan (Elf Warden) - Boggeric Myrtlepot (Hobbit Minstrel)

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I've been actively playing on Laurelin for approx 1½ years. I actually started my career in Snowbourn server, but eventually started feeling a little bit out of place there. It just didn't feel like LOTR at all, more like just another game and there's dozens of games out there. I joined the game much for the same reasons as Trufflewise here:

Oh well I thought the community would be better on a roleplay server and though personally I do not roleplay, I do like to watch others perform.

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I came over during the great migration of '11 - lol - when Turbine acquired the codie servers. I came from a US server, and abandoned several end-game characters to start over new here.
1. First and foremost - the Naming Policy (every time I go back to Vilya for whatever reason, I cringe at seeing the names in the unite channel). Its worth its weight in mithil to not see names like pwnking, Bieber, toohawtferu, etc. etc.;
2. RP - I'm not as hardcore as some of my kin-mates, but I do enjoy me some rp'in, and love that the opportunity is always there on Laurelin;
3. I like the global quality of the server, and get a kick out of hanging out with folks from all around the world.. except Australia - those guys are crazy with their yeast-spread sandwiches *glares at Harbut above, smiling*
hehe I kid I kid

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
5 years and 3 days ago i started playing lotro, and i chose... EN-RP Laurelin...
Because it was the only RP Server, and i wanted to experience RP in one of the best Settings for it...
Lord of the Rings, the Athmosphere the game brings, the acurate Lore behind it, gives an awesome RP experience...
And RP servers are mostly more Mature than the others.... ^^ but mainly because of the RP...
and i started playing Lotro, because im' a huge Tolkien fan... Books... books... board games... video games... evne the movies lol.... so yea, this MMO.... was following it since the project name MEO-Faustino Hasharin-

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
My wife and I lament our public schools and the things that come from them so we wanted to go to an RP server where people not only knew what lore was but knew how to stay comfortably within those lines. Sure you have to bend lore a little but I have yet to see a vampire elf with a dwarf slave, for example.
Also, I put an intro thread up and this server was the first suggested (and also the most eloquently.)I'm the Rubik's Cube of the human Genome.

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Why I am here?
It's a rather long story... I used to play another MMO called 'Requiem Memento Mori' that is a horror-mmorpg set in a nightmare world.. (sounds better than it actually was) and was playing with some friends from my gaming clan here in Norway.
Then, the game went 'to the dogs' (for example by changing the classes on a weekly basis and stuff like that) and became unplayable and we where looking elsewhere to play... a couple of us had been playing Lotro earlier, so we where persuaded to join in on the fun here... they had their charachters on Laurelin, so thats the reason for the server choice. We signed up for the game, created 'Order of the Divine Brew' and that was about two years ago..
Then one stormy and rainy night some time later, I was dwelling in the Pony sipping a tankard and resting before heading out on some suicide mission to the Trollshaw area, I for the first time heard music played from a band... sure, one had heard the occasional lute tune from more or less gifted luteplayers around the place, but those tunes... I knew that I had to learn how to do that. The band was 'The Shades', so thank you Achazia and the rest of the band for your inspiration to start my 'career' as a bard :-)
I found some like-minded people in Master Trotgard, Master Chadwick and Sir Uswin (No Strings Attached/Adventurers of Arda) and persuaded Master Trotgard to teach me how to make the abc files, and after some time we figured out that we should combine our creativity and the band 'The Chosen Few' was born :-) (not sure if ya have heard of us though...)
We got our first gig at Lady Fyxe's Summerparty and we never looked back...
Now, almost two years later I'm still here and think I will be for a good deal longer. This server also has the best ingame community I've experienced and thank you all that have made the middle-earth a fun place to be :-)
Best regards
Grymrock Grey.

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I actually have been in Lotro for nearly 5 years..Of course it has been a little on and off during the years, with breaks and busy periodes. But I am very faithful to the game and I still love it..
I have often pondered myself why I am still here.. First of all I think it comes down to that I am a part of a very good Guild/Kinship. There has been few ups and downs of course, but to see people stick together and work together to get through bad periodes has only strenghten relationship to my kin. I have met some of this people in RL too, so you could say I have made some potensial good friends aswell.
The Shades is my little band, is no secret that if it wasn't for the music, I am very unsure if I would still be here.. I think it has been very determinded for me regarding the social aspect of the game. I have also created lots of music, and the game have been my arena to show my music, and I have had so much great feedback and that was so surprising for me.
Is a living community with real people that care, that was also very very new to me.. and I learned to get very fond of the people and the community on Laurelin
I started to roleplay seriously for 3 years ago after some observing. And I have never have looked back after I started with it, is therapy for me I think. To be someone else, and immerse into a world I really love.
There exist some really good people here and Kins, that are so vital for this community. There exist people that care for Laurelin as RP server, and are quite vocal about it too. But I think is necessary to care for the server as a RP server and keep the maturity around it.
After 5 years.. I probably should do something else and grow up a little maybe..*hehe*.. But no! I am in no hurry to grow old ....I think I stick here for a while longer <3Last edited by Achy; Apr 23 2012 at 10:45 AM.

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Well... actually I thought seeing the [EN-RP] sign, "this most be a busy server".
Not knowing what LOTRO was all about, since it's my first (and only) mmorpg, appart from the whole Tolkien theme, I thought it would be usefull to go to a busy server where there are a good amount of other players to play with and learn from.
After being 2 years here on Laurelin i must say i don't roleplay as frequent as most do but i really enjoy seeing you lads and lasses in bree or hobbiton going at it with your instruments and all. I always stop for a few songs and enjoy your music.
Not seeing names as "IhealzGood" or "SupaTank" is an absolute plus.

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Honestly? I've been drifting from server to server since MoM. First Eldar, then Evernight etc... then finally I stumbled across Laurelin.
I'd never tried RPing before, so I got stuck in & loved it! I came for the atmosphere mostly, but to be honest I stayed for the Green Dragon Fridays

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
LOTRO was not my first MMO, but it is the only one I call 'HOME'! I am here because Laurelin IS my home! I did log on for the first time as soon as Laurelin was born...day 1 , on an April day, many years ago, and still remember the wonderful feeling I felt back then. The kindness of other players, chatting about Middle-earth and about the game, helping and welcoming each other, and this was only my first hour on the server. Though I am a role-player , I did not actually role play at the beginning , been very shy and also very busy with work in real life. My work did keep me away from the game for long periods over the years, but I always came back because I absolutely adore Tolkien's world and been a hobbit. Over the years I learned to use the music system which is an absolute gem in this game. I am lucky enough to be part of The Chosen Few , and I have my own musical ensemble called Hobbit Heart.
Music is magic on Laurelin!
Laurelin is a very special place, it is like a family , here I have met some amazing people that are now friends in real life too. This community is simply unique, and I would not want to be anywhere else, home is where the hobbit heart is! Though I do now role-play most of the time , I am also still enjoying the game and I do plan to be year for as long as the game keeps going. There is no other game that can give this kind of immersion, virtual Middle-earth has blended with the one described by Tolkien, to create one amazing place.
Here I truly discovered I am a hobbit in all but size. Over the years I did try to play tall people , but failed miserably ...I just cant get used to shoes Oh , don't get me wrong, life as a hobbit is not always lovely and wonderful, even hobbits can have a sad day ( specially if they run out of pies ), but I would not want it any other way. Anyway, I am here because of the wonderful people I call now real friends, their names are too many to mention them all, but they know who they are
Five wonderful years !

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I ve been playing mmo's since 2001, but never been into RP in any way. When i was browsing a gaming forum for info about lotro, i saw an ad for a greek kin, The Anorian Guard. I decided to join, so i picked Laurelin.
I was stunned by the rp level and the mature players i ve met during my first days in Lotro, thats when i knew this is the mmo i ll play till the end!! Gave my self this promise, no matter what happens in my life i ll never quit lotro, even if i only can log and rp! Now with free2play i know i will play forever :P
So, here we are, 5 years later. The silly student then, the married businessman now, i never feel like going away from Laurelin community, my friends and this wonderful world, the world of Tolkien!

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I'm here originally because after being a long time WoW'er I was beginning to tire of some of the infantile behaviour and kit snobbery (if anyone thinks that's even remotely bad here, try WoW!). I loved the more photo realistic landscape and couldn't resist exploring which I guess is a really good sign.
Still here for a number of reasons but here are the main ones.
People :
1) My fabulous kinnies (some I know IRL, some not)
2) The many fun RP folk that I have met along the way and who have helped me pass the time in many rewarding random encounters both in towns and in the middle of absolutely nowhere !
3) The RP stalwarts who selflessly organise RP initiatives and keep things fresh with their inventiveness and enthusiasm.
4) To the many generous, helpful non-RP'ers who respect this server and its rules and have shown generosity and patience as I learned the mechanics of the game.
Game stuff :
1) The sheer epic scale of the place makes it a real slog to get from one place to another but I really kinda like that if I'm honest. The shire really does feel a world away from the troubles in the south
2) Historical flashbacks.. just love them. Drums in the deep...*quiver*
3) The epic quest chain generally (well most of it!)

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
Your words here hit something in me... I am at Laurelin, because a friend played here... and I havent regret it one second... The community here is very special to me - and like you describe - no matter what happen rl, there is always a world here... Middleearth... to come home to. I went through a divorce, while I have been here, a few kinnies had children - and to be part of this development in life... and keep stories going in the kinship, rp-wise... it continue amaze me, all that we share. And I also feel, that being here, with so many different people, that share the love for Tolkien, have made me see the world much more open minded, that I would ever think I could. I love Middleearth and all the people here too - and will never leave... Middleearth became a part of my life, and I like to feel, that I became a part of Middleearth.
And it makes me proud to think of myself as a Laurelinian - or what we call ourselves...Joylil, Mistress of Riders of the Riddermark - www.theriddermark.org

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
This,... To be honest I first started on some French server until a little hobbit called Pingo in Archet told me its a French server,... Then started anew here. After 4 years I know more of MMOs and honestly happy I chose this server even if it was by accident. The names,... A kingdom, a kingdom for a naming policy and GMs to enforce it!

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I'm an Italian Role Player, i'm playing D&D, AD&D and others RP from 1989, so when i found LOTRO, i have realized my big dream, play in the Tolkien world!! And Laurelin are the RP server, so i'm here!!!
I found many people make a good RP, i try to make a good RP, not everytime because, not all of my friends want to RP, but when i'm in my lonely trip i love to go on Prancing Pony, or in the Shire and make a good RP, sound some music and tell stories.
This time i have to finish my first poem, and when ready i make my trip along the middle eart and tell it.
Thank Laurelin community to make this server alive!!!!!

Re: Can someome tell me why we are here!?
I wasn't originally in Laurelin, I moved over from another server with several alts.
I got tired of the constant grinding and rushing from a run to another. I already had the background stories for all of my alts written in my bios for roleplaying, but nobody seemed to really care. I hated to hear comments like "wall of text". So I made one alt in Laurelin and tried levelling her to over 30. Once in a while I stopped by in Prancing Pony, and I just loved how people indulge in character so easily. I'm somewhat Tolkien lore savvy in real life, and it was exactly what I was looking for.
Indeed, the RP label brought me in Laurelin and I hope it stays that way.
Sure I will miss some people in my previous server, but in the end I think the migration was worth it. So far I haven't been disappointed.'There now the numbers of Eldar increase,' Voronwë said, 'for ever more flee thither of either kin from the fear of Morgoth, weary of war.'

This display of independence was a reminder that there is a distinct brand of tough Northeastern Republicans -- people such as Christie, King and Rudy Giuliani -- who don't simply toe the line with party leadership or ideological litmus tests. Largely as a result, they are able to connect with centrists and independent voters and win on Democratic turf. This is a lesson for national Republicans as they look to reach out beyond their base.
Christie and King's principled independence and tough talk against their own party leadership brought results.
Within hours, Boehner and Republican House leadership announced that they would vote for an initial round of Sandy relief on Friday, followed by a vote on the remaining amount on January 15.
Conservative activist groups such as Americans for Prosperity, the Club for Growth and Heritage Action all pressured congressional Republicans to vote against Hurricane Sandy relief, and while they helped block a bill from coming to a vote on New Year's Eve, the swift and unsubtle backlash brought a wise reassessment.
All this is a reminder that straight talk in politics is so rare that it stands out and carries more than its own weight in civic debates. It cuts through the spin and resonates beyond party lines because it is credible and rooted in reality.
Most importantly, it gets results. Boehner's turnaround brought to mind a comment made by Christie during his press conference: "No one is beyond redemption."

Today at Sunday River
Welcome to Sunday River's winter Mountain Report. We are offically closed for the 2012/13 season, but rest assured that our snowguns will be out in full effect come October or November (sooner is always better!).
As you prepare to launder your ski socks and tune your gear for storage, don't forget about replacing next year's pass with a 2013/14 New England Pass on sale now until April 30 at their absolute lowest rate. Best part is you can secure it with just $50 down now and pay over the course of the summer–no interest!
Also, don't forget to sign up for our summer newsletter and check out our summer happenings via the summer Mountain Report. From the low-down on what's going on each week to more information on vacation packages, events, and activities, these are great ways to stay in touch over the next few months. Plus, we'll be highlighting the extensive work taking place over the course of this summer as we invest $5.7 million into Sunday River including 200 more HKD SV10 Impulse snowguns; a new terrain park trail; a new outdoor wedding venue, as well as an expanded Grand Summit Hotel restaurant and roadwork to our newest real estate development, The Glades at Ridge Run.
It's going to be a busy summer, which is good for those of us ready for next winter all ready. As they say, time flies when you're having fun.
Thanks to everyone for an amazing season. We hope to see you here this summer and for our 2013/14 opening day. After all, it's not that far away!
Team Snow

Optimize your routes
The symfony routing system is one of the killer features of the framework.
- Code: Select all

Please have a look on <?php echo link_to('our products', 'product/index') ?>.

Indicate in your template which `module/action` you want and then let `routing.yml` do all the job.
You can use the default rule:
- Code: Select all
url: /:module/:action/*
Or add a dedicated one:
- Code: Select all
url: /our-products
param: { module: product, action: index }
Clear your cache and all the related links and uri will be modified, all over the application.
It feels like magic, but it has a cost.
Each time the url request `product/index` is found in a template, symfony has to scan all the rules defined in `routing.yml` and guess which one can handle this request.
The default rule ? An other one ?
This search is done for all the links...
If your project have many pages and many routing rules, you can speed up your application by using rule labels instead of a module/action pairs in your templates:
- Code: Select all

Please have a look on <?php echo link_to('our products', '@product_list') ?>.

This solution will speed up the routing, but the disadvantage is that internal links become less self-evident.
It's up to you.

Design, Development & the Elections?
The run up to the U.S. Presidential Elections on November 6 is causing quite the conversation, and whichever candidate you're behind (or passionately not behind), there are a couple of outlets to channel your energy.
Pit your favorite (or least favorite) politicos against one another in this arcade-style action fighting game. Currently on Android (coming soon to iOS) this new app by Mighty Bits gives you a chance to debate the old-fashioned way – much like Tuesday night's Town Hall debate. Curious about the making of the app? Check out our Gaming team's post, "From Rock the Vote to Smash Vote!"
For those who talk about leaving the country when their candidate of choice loses, JetBlue will be there to make that a reality for a lucky winner of its new campaign, Election Protection, as covered by Design Envy. Some great creative design and web development work went into the making that's worth a peek.
Have you seen any great design or development work surrounding the upcoming elections? Share with us in the comments below!

Fatal Merkel House Fire
By: Megan Dobbs
Updated: February 18, 2009
A house fire outside Merkel turned deadly Tuesday night, claiming two lives.
It happened around 10 p.m. in a mobile home off County Road 379 just Northwest of Merkel. Officials say 46 year old Kevin Bradshaw and his 4 year old son, Conner were killed in the fire. The fire destroyed the home and some vehicles. The family waited at the scene throughout most of the day but would not allow media on the property.
The State Fire Marshall believes the fire may have originated in a smaller, unoccupied mobile home on Bradshaw property. It stands about 20 feet from the home and is used for storage. Officials say it had electrical appliances plugged in inside the nearby mobile home that might have started the fire, but the cause has been ruled as "undetermined."
The bodies of Kevin and Conner Bradshaw have been transferred to the Southwest Forensics Laboratory in Fort Worth for autopsy.

I just wanted to upload this for fun, being that I haven't played the game in a while. I'm also very excited for the 3DS version's release! Now, there are two ways to enter Katina. In Corneria, if you rescue Falco, you will head to the harder stage, Sector Y. In Sector Y, you must pretty much do really terrible by getting an extremely low score, so just kill the boss at the end and dodge everything. If you let Falco get defeated, you will go to the Asteroid Belt, and you have to enter all the warps. I'd recommend saving Falco, since Sector Y is easier to accomplish, ironically. Also, if you save the pyramid in Katina, Bill will help you out in Solar. Enjoy!

While the TSX is considered Acura's entry-level sedan, it lacks in neither performance nor luxury. The TSX's base MSRP price of just under $28,000 belies its well-equipped nature, as it offers a host of luxury and convenience items on all trims. The 2012 TSX holds its own against more expensive competition such as the BMW 3-Series and Mercedes-Benz C-Class. The Sport Wagon model takes all of the luxury and performance of the TSX sedan and adds cargo-carrying practicality.2012 Acura TSX Sport Wagon Trims

China, trade and solar politics
George Leopold
WASHINGTON – Not so long ago, China's solar industry was at the top of the global renewable energy heap, knocking out millions of solar panels while steadily driving down their price - to the delight of U.S. consumers. For U.S. competitors, of course, it was a different story: squeezed profit margins were driving many U.S. companies out of business or to offshore manufacturing locations like China.
We recently toured at a big North American solar exhibition in San Francisco and were immediately struck by the sheer number of well-heeled Chinese solar manufacturers exhibiting at the event. But lately there are clear signs that even Chinese solar manufacturers are suffering as their own profit margins have been whittled down to the thickness of a polysilicon wafer.

Reports out of China indicate that key segments of China's renewable energy infrastructure like photovoltaic technology are nearing collapse. In August, the head of a Chinese solar company leapt to his death when he realized his company couldn't pay off a government loan. Other Chinese solar panel manufacturers have recently cut production.
All this as oil futures continue to rise and gasoline prices remain above $4 a gallon in key markets like California.
With trade tensions rising between the U.S. and China, some Chinese vendors at the Inter Solar North American exhibition in San Francisco also evinced a growing awareness of how the global trade system operates when rival economies are hurting. One Chinese vendor prominently display at its booth a key passage from a U.S. International Trade Administration ruling that the company did not dump solar panels on the U.S. market.
China's solar panel makers are showing they know how to play politics.
Growing trade tensions between China and the U.S. along with the exodus of solar manufacturing to China have placed solar politics at the forefront in a presidential election year. One of candidate Mitt Romney's so-called presidential debate "zingers" accuses the Obama administration of surpassing the old GOP saw about "picking between winners and losers" with picking only losers -- a not-so-subtle reference to last year's Solyndra debacle. (Gov. Romney didn't mention subsidies to U.S. oil companies.)
Factors like climate change, the drive for energy independence, access to capital, technological advances and plain-old politics are constantly reshaping renewable energy markets. But few expected China's renewable energy drive to decline so far so fast.

EE Times' Silicon 60: Hot startups to watch
Singled out Solyndra? I see this as a much more broad trend, of reality trumping political rheotoric.
EE Times has reported on the difficulties encountered by the EV market as a whole and on the ouster of a CEO whose company was betting on battery swapping, just recently. Other companies that got millions from the government, aside from Solyndra, including EV manufacturers, are also struggling.
But it's not clear to me whether the solar panel problem in China is caused primarily because they slashed prices too much, or because demand has dropped? Reading the article, it almost sounds like in their zeal to undercut the global solar panel manufacturing industry, China may simply have gone too far?
Yes, China is plagued by massive production overcapacity for solar panels. The situation is similar for wind turbines.
Romney did mention oil industry subsidies. (I will try to repeat what he said. I do not know if the statements are true)
1) Most Oil industry subsidies go to small drillers. (Ideally getting more oil produced inside the country.)
2) The green subsidies granted by Obama administration amounted to 50 years of oil industry subsidies.
3) Many of the green subsidies have led to spectacular flameouts. (My twist on Romney's words).
4) It appears that many of the Obama selections were bad investments and may have been politically motivated. (The latter could be said of thousands of tax break/subsidy decisions made by the thoroughly corrupt Congress and White House. All bow to the wisdom and putiry of the Supreme Court in the Citizens United decision.
I am not trying to elicit flames for or against Obama or Romney. There is a more fundamental issue that applies to them and to China
When a central government run by actual humans tries to pick winners and losers, they are going to make many wrong decisions. If there is influence-buying or peddling, they are going to make bad decisions that are obviously wrong and morally unethical. Example: The Solyndra 'loan' where the public's money will/would get re-paid after the private money. Oh, with large, or long-standing, central governments, THERE IS ALWAYS INFLUENCE-BUYING.
I grew up not being afraid of the Soviet Union because the Politburo made so many mistakes.
Their eventual collapse came as no surprise.
I would not be afraid of China either, except our national government has lost almost any sense of what is needed to survive let alone prosper. In a Hegelian sense, China is trying to create a synthesis of Central rule with free enterprise where they decide to tolerate or encourage it. I expect them to fail eventually (as this article is hinting), but I fear we may fail faster.
"The green subsidies granted by Obama administration amounted to 50 years of oil industry subsidies."
We'd like to see your source on this estimate.
Duane Benson
I normally refrain from discussing politics except with close friends, but the amount of easily debunked misinformation thrown about during this campaign has astounded me, even as cynical about politics as I am.
The current president has certainly done things I don't agree with. That's to be expected with any president. I really wish there was more fact checking theses days. So much has been exagerated or invented that it's pretty much impossible to tell what's real and what's not without a lot of digging.
Back to the subject at hand, I think what we're seeing is that the complete package of economics for solar isn't quite there yet. Something is missing that would be needed to create a real market for all of that panel production capacity that China has developed and other countries would like to develop. You can't just will something into existence in a global economy.
Wind power is experiencing a similar set of issues too. Subsidies and an abundant supply of wind are allowing wind farms to pop up all over the place, especially here in the Pacific Northwest. But, apparently, no one bothered to put up enough new wires to get all of that power to populations centers where it's needed.
James Brown, the exec VP at First Solar, said a few months back that the industry must moved beyond what he called "false" competition and compete directly with the "fossil OEMs," by which he presumably meant the fossil fuel industry (not a dying industry). Brown argued that the solar industry has to reduce costs, especially life cycle costs, and overcome the "perceived risk" of going solar. A tall order, but at least he's looking to the future and trying to compete.
Duane Benson
It is a tall order. Understanding what he's up against makes him (in my opinion) a visionary. Reaching far in the face of reality makes progress. On the other hand, reaching far in the face of wishful thinking does the opposite.
Did anyone note the line about a chinese solar CEO committing suicide when he couldn't repay a GOVERNMENT LOAN?
While they may not be dumping, China clearly has subsidized firms in the form of loans, to produce the capacity to own the market. The overcapacity problem stems from Germany and Spain cutting back severely on their big solar investments, two years or so ago.
The problem with PV solar is that the physics simply don't support the systems without government subsidies in the form of tax credits or deductions; at least, not at the present price of oil or natural gas.
From my meetings with solar CEO's, the only firms really making money were the installation firms. And even they were dependent on the tax treatment.
For the record, I think we could leave the presidential politics out of this discussion. They both pay lip service to whatever they think people want to hear--while it's the congress that has to take action.
I didn't see any comments or references to the recently imposed "anti-dumping tariff". I recently tried to buy some Chineese panels and then I was informed about the tariff. I then googled it and saw that it was passed in May and slated to start this month but was retroactive for 90 days. I went to a tariff calculator and entered all the info and it produced a 249% rate making the tariff 17.5K on a 7K purchase. This is ridiculous. They might as well be banned.
I have now put off everything and am reassessing my plans. So much for these idiots trying to help the environment. If it's not cost effective, why even do it. -Oh, because if you're the government, you don't mind frittering other peoples money away. Irony is, the money's all borrowed from China in the first place.

"Good morning, Erin! Thank you for your hospitality you've shown to me, Gwen and our students! We had a blast during the tasting on 10/21!"
Chasity Woods Crescent Academy
"Dear Silver Gardens,
I wanted to let you know that we were very pleased with the assistance that
you gave us in planning Kristina and Scott's wedding. The process was new
to us and it went smoothly in our workings with you and the staff at Silver
Garden Events Center. I did send a note to Ann Marie and you to thank you
and everyone for their assistance on the night of the wedding, but you got
us to that night with no problems. Your suggestions were great about the
food and everything else. Thank you again.
I will look through the pictures we have and send some along."
"Erin! No....you have been a blessing to work with. So patient and
accommodating. Words can't express how I appreciate your professionalism."
Keanna Evans
"Thanks for all of your hard work that led to my retirement celebration being
a huge success. I compliment the entire team that were involved in
preparing for my retirement celebration celebration. Please forward my
email to Anne Marie so she'll know how much I appreciated you and your team.
I'm sure we'll work together again. Since I'm retired, I'll now have time
to offer my services to others that want to host retirement celebrations,
weddings, birthday parties, banquets, class reunion parties, etc.
Again, thanks for your unselfish assistance! I'm sure I'll work with you
Julie B.
"Good Morning Ann Marie,
I just wanted to thank you for hosting a wonderful event for us yesterday! I heard nothing but compliments about the food, presentation, service and facility. I also heard several comments from the guests about how they had not been in the facility in years, or how they had driven past it several times and had not been inside and how impressed they were with the facility as a place to host events. I do believe you made more than a positive impression with a very formidable group of folks! And, we are so very glad that we were able to partner with you!
I also had the pleasure of speaking with Jim Gotts and Craig Stigleman from the Shriners and they both were raving about what the 2 of you had accomplished over the past couple of years with the facility!
Please let me know if you are interested in following up the event with an ad in an upcoming issue of Crain's. Part of your package included 25% off an advertisement of any size in the issue of your choice.
Let's meet soon to discuss an event in 2012!"
Thanks again,

"Greetings Erin,
I wanted to pass on a note of thanks for all the effort put into last night's event. The event management team is to be applauded for their coordination and attention to detail last night. The event staff were fantastic as well (and quite speedy too). Thanks so much for making this night so special for so many of our students.
Also, I didn't get a chance to pass on my credit card info last night. Simply email me an invoice and I will have a check cut for you.
Thanks so much!"

"Hi Erin,
Thank you so much you were so kind and patient with us throughout this whole process. We enjoyed everything at the reception this past weekend and thought everything turned out wonderful! We got a lot of great feedback from our guests on how beautiful things were and how tasty the food was :) You helped make our wedding perfect and we are so grateful for that!
Thanks again!"
Corina & Vio Herman
"Good Morning,
We would both like to thank you for being apart of our special day and bringing our vision to life. Both you and the staff helped make our wedding a joyous and memorable occassion that we will continue to talk about forever. Family and friends that attended the wedding mentioned that the venue was beautiful, the staff was beyond professional and will indeed consider the venue for functions in the future and we agree as well. Thanks again for your time, efforts, awesome teamwork, and patience. It was a joy to work with you all and we appreciate everything that was done."
Tarence and Shatarsha Jenkins
"I can't tell you how much your attentiveness and superior customer service has meant to me. This was the first time that I had planned a personal event of this nature. You made it so easy, and it turned out absolutely wonderful. The facility was beautiful, the food was delicious and the staff was gracious. I took guests into the larger rooms (ballroom, etc.) so that they could get a real sense of how great the facility really is. Many of them stated that they would like to have an event there, and plan tell others to use the Shriners Silver Garden Events Center, as well.
You made Adam's graduation truly memorable, and for that, I am truly grateful. I hope to do business with you again soon!"
Carol M.
I want to thank you and your facility for assisting us in the most beautiful wedding on Saturday. I was impress with the professionalism of the staff and the food was fantastic. Everything was on point and timely. Erica made a presentation at the reception and she stated that "this is a dream come true". As her father when I heard that statement by Erica it was worth all the time and effort and of course money. All of the guest were very impress with the facility and the food. Again I can't thank you enough. When my daughter is happy then I am happy and she was ecstatic.

Dear Anne Marie,
I just wanted to take a few moments to formally say thank you for helping to make Christina Capoferi and Jake Dunlop's wedding reception such a success.
The first time my husband Jim and I met you, we knew we were in good hands. Your professionalism, patience and attendance to detail was remarkable. At the same time, you were very approachable which lessened our stress as the 'big day' grew closer.
I have to compliment the staff you have employed too. Each was equally
responsive to our questions and needs, no matter how seemingly insignificant at the time. One gentlemen in particular, I believe his name was Marcell (?) was just adorable. I met him Friday afternoon while setting up the candy table. On Saturday evening during the reception, he was so helpful and kind. A couple of the ladies whose names I did not catch were also great to work with as well.
Family and friends alike complimented the facility and the food. A couple
of them went as far to say the Tilapa was outstanding! I have to agree.
Although Silver Garden Event Center isn't exactly next door to our Sterling
Heights address, I would not hesitate to recommend your venue along with you and your staff.
Thanks again for making our day so special!
Laurie Capoferi
Mother of the Bride
"Hi Erin,
Thank you again for making Claire and Levi's wedding so special. We received so many compliments on the venue and how wonderful it all was and how good the food was. You and your staff were so kind and helpful every step of the way - and we appreciate all of it!.
Once again - thank you for your part in making last night so special. I do want to let you know - our server, Yessi - was absolutely fabulous - so kind, helpful and friendly. She went out of her way to make us all happy."
We would like to thank you and your extraordinary staff for making our Celebration Dinner a success. From the time we arrived on Sunday morning, Marcale saw to it that everything we needed was taken care of. He and Denise made sure every detail was handled with care and professionalism and all of your staff could not have been more accommodating. What a joy it was to work with each and every person at Shriners Silver Gardens. Our guests loved the venue and the food was outstanding! Thanks again for everything."
"Terry and Charles Bailey
I am the mother of the groom and worked directly with Erin Bell from Silver Gardens Events Center to create a spectacular wedding celebration! Silver Gardens Events Center is a fantastic venue and I would highly recommend this location for any function - weddings, anniversaries, corporate events and more! Erin and her staff (Denise, Ann Marie...) were extremely accommodating to any request I had whether it had to do with the menu, the set up, the design, etc. The food was outstanding and I received many compliments from my guests regarding the food and the service. The wait staff was polite, professional and very attentive, always serving with a smiling face! The package deal I was given was very reasonable and included chair covers w/ sashes saving me so much $$! We held our ceremony and reception in the Mystic Ballroom (they should call it the Magnificent Ballroom). They turned over the room in an hour during our cocktail reception and our guests walked into a transformed room w/ tables ready for dinner! We were able to work with Denise using their on-site lighting truss to hang some of our own lighting to create a breathtaking ambience. The stage set up was perfect for the band and I loved the two tiered set up of the room. I can't wait to attend or be part of another function at this great facility, a hidden gem. I want to spread the word to everyone to check this place out...you won't be disappointed!"
Sandee Singer
Mother of the Groom- March 23, 2013
Thank you and Ann Marie for your support during this event. Our client, ETS, was very pleased with the food and service you provided. The venue took this event up 100% from where they were last year and thank to you and the Shriners, enjoyed the venue and event.
Opal and I both felt good about this event. It was a lot of work, but it worked out fine. We will definitely recommend Shriners Silver Gardens to other clients in the future.
Thanks again for all you did to make this a success.

yes, my answer about "no duplicates" was referring to 0-6 case, which was only one I tried ;p
in meantime I tried 0-12 too, and I can confirm that there isn't any "no duplicates" solution. There are "no zeros" solutions, like :
(1,1,8,8,9,10)-> (5,5,6,6,7,8)-> (3,4,4,5,11,12)-> (2,2,3,10,10,11)
But no solution without duplicates. Depending how you define "duplicates", you could search for "minimal duplicates":
1) duplicate = count any side that repeats. Minimum I could find is 5 duplicated sides:
(0,1,7,7,8,9)-> (5,5,6,6,6,7)-> (3,4,4,5,11,12)-> (1,2,3,9,10,11)
2) duplicate = count any dice that has duplicated non-zero numbers. I didn't search for minimal here, but some example with only 2 dice with duplicate non-zero sides is:
(0,0,7,8,9,10)-> (5,5,6,6,7,7)-> (2,3,4,5,11,12)-> (1,1,2,10,10,11)
3) duplicate= count any dice that has duplicated any number (including zero). I didn't search for these at all, but both examples above are with 1 non-duplicate dice. Probably there are solutions with 2 or more ...

so I guess there was no solution without zeros or duplicated numbers ;p
This is my solution for #1 too.
I'm not saying you are wrong, but the "no duplicated numbers" portion allows for the numbers 0-12 rather than just 0-6, and also permits (in fact, requires) the occasional tie. So it doesn't follow immediately.
The implied question is whether Buffet selected those requirements in order to allow for a solution with no repeated sides on the faces of the dice. Or just to obfuscate the simple solution.
I think (spoiler)
you can avoid repeats on several, but not all the dice. But I wanted to see if someone else could manage it.

Yes, I used 0-6. If you can find a way using only 6 distinct numbers, more power to you.
The real puzzle in my mind is why Buffet used 0-12.

Assuming L'lanmal has in mind the same solution that I've seen before, it's 0-6. There are indeed some 0s in the solution.

0 - 6, or, 1-6?

The book
Warren Buffet Speaks: Wit and Wisdom from the World's Greatest Investor
describes a wager that Warren Buffet offered Bill Gates.
Warren Buffet showed Gates four "unusual dice", with the faces labeled with the numbers 0-12. Each person would choose one die, and then the player who rolled the higher number (all ties rerolled) would win. Die A had an 11/17 chance of beating die B, die B had an 11/17 chance of beating C, die C had an 11/17 chance of beating D, and die D had an 11/17 chance of beating A. Gates examined the dice, then asked Buffet to pick first.
We will presume the dice were cubic, as their shape wasn't mentioned.
1) How do you label four dice to meet the slightly stricter requirements that only the numbers 0-6 are used, and the odds of winning are 2/3?
2) Modify your answer to 1 to create dice meeting the original restrictions.
3) Is it possible to meet the original restrictions and also not have the same number appear more than once on the same die?
