Cross-Country skiing (Dave Heath photo)
In the Kootenay Rockies region, stay at a ski-in/ski-out lodge or enjoy cross-country skiing at downhill ski resorts such as Kicking Horse Mountain Resort or Fernie Alpine Resort.
There are also well-used club trails with warming huts and night-skiing. Golden, Kimberley, Castlegar and Rossland are a short drive away from groomed Nordic routes, and have produced champion cross-country skiers, such as Olympians George Grey (Rossland) and Sara Renner (Golden).
At Black Jack Cross-Country Club (Rossland), explore trails that meander through forests and across frozen lakes. At night, glide under the stars on a lit trail or take the Le Petit Fromage tour for skiing and fondue dinner.
The Paulson Cross-Country Ski Trails (Castlegar) have 45km/30mi of trails and three shelters. Beginners and families: try the Mud Lake to Ben Shaw cabin circle route. Adjacent Nancy Greene Provincial Park features ungroomed trails.

The Kimberley Nordic Club maintains a lengthy groomed trail network. Try a circle route – some are lit for night-skiing, too. Easy access to Kimberley Alpine Resort and Kimberley Nature Park allows for additional touring.
Nipika Mountain Resort (near Radium Hot Springs) is a cross-country destination that borders Kootenay National Park. On the Natural Bridge Trails, ski along 50km/31mi of groomed routes that surround the lodge and cabins. Glimpse wildlife such as elk and lynx, take in waterfalls and a unique natural rock bridge, and then warm up in the day lodge. Lessons with a former Canadian Olympic cross-country ski coach are available, and the resort hosts a "Learn to Cross-Country Ski Week."
In Yoho National Park, admire rugged peaks on 40km/25mi of groomed tracks. Venture on intermediate trails such as the Emerald Lake Connector Trail or the Lake O'Hara Fire Road. Pop into the day-use cabin on weekends or reserve an overnight hut.
There's cross-country skiing at Panorama Mountain Village Resort (try a trek to the Hale Hut), Fernie Alpine Resort, Whitewater Ski Resort (loop to Hummingbird Pass for spectacular views) and Kicking Horse, in addition to other winter activities.
In Revelstoke, take advantage of the Ole Sandberg cabin at Mount MacPherson to access more than 22km/14mi of groomed trails and loops. Stay at the ski-in, ski-out MacPherson Lodge and enjoy the hot tub.
The South Star ski trail system starts just beyond Cranbrook. Tour 30km/19mi of groomed trails. In Fernie, join a guided "Nordic Ski Adventure" (with gourmet lunch) at Island Lake Lodge.
Nelson is only a ten-minute drive from 25km/15mi of tracks, with a short night-skiing loop and two warming huts.
At Invermere, ski a loop of frozen Lake Windemere, which is track-set for classic and skate skiing.

I had to take my car into the shop the other day for a few maintenance checks. Normally I would do my own maintenance, but when you have a warranty, they don't allow you to do the maintenance. It is the one thing that I hate about car manufacturer warranties. I have the knowledge, skill, and tools to do proper maintenance, but they will cancel my warranty if I do it. Very irritating, but I digress!
OK, back to my original thought process. I had to take my car in and I knew it was going to be expensive. It needed an oil change, state inspection, and it's mileage check. All said and done, it was going to cost me about $400 to get the required maintenance. Boo!
Of course, I had the amount saved up in my savings account, but dropping $400 for car maintenance is not my favorite thing. Before I went to my appointment, I decided to look through our large pile of coupons. We keep coupons that we get in a large pile on our counter. It is not organized and that is probably something we should do. Either way, I was lucky to find a nice coupon for the dealer that I was taking my car to. It was one of the best coupons they have sent. It took off $175 off the total of my service. Now, that is impressive!
Wait…..It's Expired
Damn, the coupon expired like two months ago. Crap, now that I got the taste of saving $175 on my maintenance, I was a little happier. Now, with an expired coupon, I was a little pissed off. Why couldn't I have a current coupon? That is just my luck, I guess.
With an expired coupon in hand, I decided to head off to the shop and try my luck with getting the deal. I figured that with such a large discount, they would be vigilant with the expiration date. Most companies wouldn't let you use a two month expired coupon with such a large discount. At least not many companies that I have been around. When I got to the shop, I talked to a guy about the maintenance that I needed. When talking with him, I decided to slip the coupon onto the desk. He quickly glanced at it and said, "Alright, that is a great discount!"
Did I just get the discount?
You dang right I did! Hells yeah! As I spoke with the man and kept him occupied, he was just so busy with getting me in and my questions answered that he didn't pay attention to the expiration date on the coupon. I just saved 44% on my maintenance with a two-month expired coupon. Now, that made my day!
Have Expired Coupons? Try Them Anyway!
The moral of my story is that if you have an expired coupon, why not try them anyway? I do this quite often with online coupons and they work about 50% of the time. It really depends on the store. It doesn't cost you anything to try an expired coupon and if you get someone that doesn't really care or doesn't have the attention to detail, then you can still score the deal. Why would you not try this?
Have you ever tried to use an expired coupon and it worked? Do you try expired coupons no matter what?

2 injured in multi-vehicle crash on I-70 near Blue Ridge Cut-off
Updated On: Oct 26 2013 04:22:51 PM CDT
Multiple vehicles collided on westbound Interstate 70 near Blue Ridge Cutoff on Saturday morning.
The accident was reported about 10 a.m. just west of Blue Ridge Cut-off. All westbound lanes were closed for about an hour.
Kansas City police said four vehicles were involved and one of those vehicles flipped over.
Accident investigators said drivers were slowing and stopping due to construction and lane closures ahead when the driver of black Buick rear-ended a car and overturned, hitting two other vehicles.
Police said the driver of the Buick went to a hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. The driver of a second car went to a hospital with life-threatening injuries. Drivers of the other two vehicles were not hurt.
The crash remains under investigation.

Been hitting the Ping G25 irons the past year. Probably 20 rounds with range practice. Really like them for their forgiveness and solid, smooth feel at impact. I am a little disappointed in wear to the face and overall fading of the dark grey finish. Not so much the fact that they have gotten lighter but they look splochy. Wondering if anybody has had the same experience.

Ping G25 Irons: In-hand photos and story
Ping is known for making great game improvement irons, but the company's G25 irons for 2013 will be special. Over the years, many PGA Tour players have used Ping "G" series irons because of their forgiveness. The difference between the 2013 G25 irons and previous G-series irons is that this year's model is the total package — it has all the benefits of a game-improvement iron without the usual bulky soles that are inherent in the GI class.
Marty Jertson, a senior design engineer for Ping, said the company wanted to re-align the size of the new iron to be more in the sweet spot of the game-improvement category.
"We felt like we were going past that with the sole widths on models like the G20," Jertson said.
The G25 irons feature thinner, more progressive sole widths, thinner top lines and moderate offset, which will appeal to golfers of all skill levels. The progressive sole widths provide higher-launching, more-forgiving long irons, and short irons with added playability and control.

A staple of Ping's irons, the Custom Tuning Port (CTP), was repositioned lower on the face on the G25s — so low that it required engineers to halve the size of the CTP from previous models, as it now rests against the sole of the club.
This increases the efficiency of the irons, better aligning the impact line, a line perpendicular to the loft of an iron, with the club's force line at impact. According to Jertson, this means the face won't rotate as much at impact, resulting in less energy loss and more ball speed.
Engineers also thinned the faces of the G25 irons. The face deflection (read: springiness) of the face hasn't changed — it's actually similar to the deflection of the G20 irons. But the thinner faces do allow for the redistribution of weight in more optimal places. This allowed Ping to increase the forgiveness of the long irons, and design short irons that have a flatter trajectory.
"The easiest way to get inertia is to just widen the sole," Jertson said. "But we didn't want to do that. [With the G25 irons] we wanted to give the same forgiveness package as the G20 irons, but with more versatility."
Support bars in the cavity of the G25 irons stabilize the 17-4 stainless steel face to ensure a solid feel and exceptional distance control throughout the set. Engineers also also tweaked the materials, thicknesses, density, weight and even the process of adhesion of the multi-material cavity badge, proving that that badges are much more than a sticker that's glued to the back of an iron for aesthetics. They're factors that can make or break the performance and feel of a cavity back iron.

There is a significant change in the width and the "effective" bounce on the G25 soles on the 7 iron through pitching wedge.The soles are more narrow, and a trailing edge grind means the soles of the G25 are closer the the size of the Ping's i20 and Anser Forged irons. This will translate into more control for better players, because more sole width and bounce can interfere with a player's trajectory and ability to make crisp contact out of the rough.
The grinds will reduce the working or "effective" bounce on the sole, meaning the club head will rip through the turf with more ease. That will give lower-handicap players an exciting opportunity to experiment with a more forgiving irons without the typical drawback of wide soles. Bravo to Ping.
Below is a chart where we measured sole width at the center of the face with calipers to compare the G25 to other Ping models, as well as comparison photos:

The word that came out of our mouth when we opened the box for the first time was "badass." Pardon our french, but it is to hard to describe our reaction without just saying it. These irons look sinister — dark and high tech. The non-glare grey finish reminds us of the murdered out carbon fiber panels of the Audi R8 super car. A high-tech, modern oozes from this design.
Ping says the G25′s thinner top lines and moderate offset offer a look that will appeal to a wide variety of golfers that are looking for a high-launching, extremely forgiving game-improvement model with a chassis that resembles a players iron. At address, the toplines look great and the overall shape frames the ball nicely.
In addition, the non-glare matte finish will help reduce reflections in bright conditions. The finish begs to hit the range, and will fade with use in a way that will add character over time.

Went to an Outdoor fitting with a trackman today. A rarity on Long Island. $50 refundable fee with the latest offerings from Mizuno Titleist and Ping. I've been playing Mizuno irons for years. Spent a fair amount of time with the fitter and different head shaft combos from Mizuno and Titleist. Nice but no game changer for me. Fitter put together a G-25 for me and I took one look at the sole and was about to leave. Then I set up. G-25 had a relatively thin top line so I decided to hit the club. About 150 balls later the credit card came out. No one could have made me believe that I would have ever abandoned Mizuno especially for Ping. The GI features are hidden on address and the consistency and flight of the iron is like nothing I've ever hit
what is under the CTP cover on the G25 irons? I've read that it may be foam? or is it a solid metal insert?
SGI clubs may make the game more fun, But it does not improve scores. Average handicaps have not gone down forever. Hitting your irons farther does not improve your scores. If you take a old 9 iron(45*loft), Say an Eye 2 from pre-1984(v-groove) that still has grooves in very good shape and a modern SGI PW with a loft of 45*, the distance gains will be minimal. Scores have not improved noticeably for the golfing masses. They are called Game Improvement clubs when they should be called Game Enjoyment clubs. Sure its fun to turn to your group and say i hit that par5 in 2 with driver 5-iron, But your not hittin a 5iron, it was 3.5 iron. Just my opinion
I'm going to disagree with you completely. My father who is in his mid sixties, switched from Ping ISI irons to the G25. He's playing better golf this year than in the past five. New technology like multi material irons has allowed this iron to be smaller than the G20 and yet be more forgiving. I've watched him hit shots that are quite a bit off of the sweet spot and still end up on the green, with a reasonable putt. Now, of course he was fit for these clubs. The issue is, if you're going to drop that kind of money on clubs, you'd be a moron to buy them off of the rack. If the clubs don't fit, you're probably not getting the best out of the new technology.
If it says 5 on the sole, it's a 5 iron
That's how it works…
How many of you "purists" out there still
have hickory shafts
Ordered my G25 irons and expecting them any day now. I hope I don't have the same issue as you Dennis. I will be sure to inspect them more carefully though now. Compared them side by side to the G20 and the G25 definetly look nicer but it was hard to see a real difference between the amount of offset. I could see the difference in the sole width in the lower irons but the difference was not that significant. The biggest differences between the 2 sets for me was the darker color (which looks great!) and the thinner top line.
Just received my new G25 irons and the weight was not inserted into the 4 iron.{ no quality control here} I also have a concern with the 5 iron weight but will talk to the Ping rep. I ordered with the graphite shafts and have to say they look sic. I have played pings for many many years so if they do not fix this problem I will be sure and tell all.
Ping rep was very disappointed on the missing weight. The club is going back for warranty work and should be back in a week. He did explain the weight is not as flush to the head as a more lofted iron is. We looked at others in a GT store and they all had the same gap. He assured me that if the weight did ever get lost or fell out that warranty would apply. Time will tell I guess.
I own a set of ping anser irons . When the irons after One year showed excess wear and the weight started to fall out I made an attempt to have the problem rectified ,. After shipping the clubs back to ping at there request the weights were reset and the clubs cleaned ? They were returned to me. Many further conversation that appeared to be justo frustrate me a further request to send back to ping and I have given up. Given the response and actions it has left me with the attitude that warrantee after one year was not met . I have given up and will neither buy ping in the future or recommend any one else do so . Great for pr or advertising . Don Easton Maple ridge B.C.
D. Easton…I'm really surprised to hear of your displeasure with PING's customer service. I have had the exact opposite experience with them over the years. I have sent various sets of irons back to have the loft/lie adjusted or set back to the original color code on a number of occasions. One of my I15′s had a badge come loose and they said to ship the whole set back to check and replace any that might become loose. NO CHARGE. (just paid the postage) We visited PING while on vacation, and we brought in my young son's PING putter to be cut down and the L/L adjusted, along with an old set of G2 irons I had trashed while playing in the desert. The fixed them ALL WHILE I WAITED…NO CHAEGE (except $3.13 for a new putter grip that they installed!!!) There's no other club manufacturer that will deal directly with the consumer like PING. I'm sorry, but they get my vote for best customer service bar none!
One thing to consider and remember, some of us play for the "FUN" of the game and if these help high, or "super" high handicappers ENJOY the game more then great. If you don't like the offset, then go buy a different model. Just because it is made/produced doesn't mean you "HAVE" to buy it or like it. "Moderate" offset or substantial offset, those that are buying the G series could really care less due to the fact that most are looking for a "Game Improving" club set. Those that don't need it, go buy and play "blades". We that need the extra help and confidence in our clubs, swing and game appreciate the innovation that Ping brings to the table.
Drive for Show, Putt for Dough
I was fit for and ordered a set of these Wednesday, was very surprised by how good they look at every shot I hit was easy and straight. Started with the CFS stiff and wasn't all that impressed, had the fitter put in a DG S300 and the difference was amazing, I knew in one swing that was what I was getting. Am pretty sure I saw Bubba Watson playing one of these at the Waste Management yesterday? Only downfall was the DG shaft was a $10 upcharge, but should be worth it. Cheers.
I am a huge Ping fan and the asthetics of these new G25′s look great. Ping's quality control and customer service are the best in the business and their product is exemplary. I am too handsy for the G series, too much offset even in these, so I await the i25′s. I currently play the i15′s and absolutely love them.
I'm thinking of getting new irons and am currently in-between the g20 and g25. Why does this article show images comparing the g25 to g15? It's the same as when comparing the sole widths. I'm actually wondering if it is worth the extra $$ to but the g25 set or spend ~$150 less for a g20 set. Any replys would be appreciated.
I was in the market for a new set of Pings. Tried both the G20, G25 and Taylormade rocketbladez. Not much difference in the Ping's. Im a mid handicapper and have had trouble with consistancy in my irons. The rocketbladez actually played a club down. Exp the 7 iron G20 went as far as the RB 6 iron. Best bet is to go to your local shop and try them out. My final purchase was the G20′s. Found on ebay in excellent condition 4-SW for 388 shipped. Couldnt of been happier. I have some extra dough for green fees in 2013
Ordered the set yesterday after spending time being fitted. Giving up my Raptors. They look as good or better then the I20′s.
i'm getting a set, just sold my i20s, if these make the game easier then great!!!, my plan is to use these for this season then move up to the i25s next season, loved the i20s but i'm just not consistant enough for them, mind you looking at the 25s even if i was scratch, these look lovely….
I just ordered mine this past Monday! Have to wait until February 11th to get them…boooh! Just not good enough anymore for a players iron.
@Joe Golfer. You're right. I didn't mean to come off as attacking you. All the companies make their new clubs sound like they are for everyone. I get what you are saying. It all comes down to what makes the player comfortable. Play well Joe Golfer.
Its all about $$$$… they are jacking the lofts to make people buy the gap wedge and make people with 3 yr old or more irons set thinkin "update for improvement and distance" ……it's always about $$$$
ill be getting a set when do they come out
There will be tour pros playing these just as there are some playing the G15′s and G20′s. They seem to do just fine with the offset. These look much sleeker than the G15-G20s. I bet these sell really well.
Nice looking SGI clubs. This just makes me want to wait for the update to the S56 before I decide what direction I am going to go!!!!
Regarding FCM's comment: my complaint about Ping's offset is that they state, twice, that these new models have "Moderate" offset.
Yes, the G series are Game Improvement clubs.
But don't say they have "moderate" offset if they still have a massive amount of offset compared to most other brands.
Yes, loads of offset works for players who can't square the face or get the ball up into the air, so it fits a certain category of player.
Ping shouldn't try to tell us that this new G series club is now moderate offset, with a thin sole, so it fits the better player also. It doesn't. It's still "perfect for high handicappers", exactly as you mentioned. The beef is with the advertising. If they listed the offset in millimeters, as some companies do, knowledgeable golfers would know that they still have a tremendous amount of offset.
Some golfers order a new set of irons without ever seeing them, as they just have to have the latest model or club du jour, or need to own the latest model every year, like having both the i20 and the G20.
Describing this particular G25 as having moderate offset is inaccurate and midleading. The clubs are still high quality and "perfect for high handicappers", but they're certainly not perfect for the better player, and the description given by Ping is midleading.
Your complaint is with marketing???? Dude, do you pay attention to marketing with ANY company??? That is what the marketing hacks are paid to do…make it sound like their product is the next best thing. If you hit these or any clubs, do some research on your own and get some professional advice on what you should buy who cares what marketing angle they use? Thats a ridiculous arguement because clearly you are well versed enough on golf and the equipment that you saw through the "marketing" right away so whats the issue?
I have a 2 handicap and I play the G25′s, the best iron I have ever hit and got that club back I lost between 50 and 56 years of age. Slight misses go on the green and the shorter irons are as or more accurate than the S56′s I replaced. I hit the i20′s and the G25′s and it was no comparison. People talk about working the ball. I've been playing golf for 41 years and have played at the national amateur level and seldom do golfers "work" the ball not unless they are in trouble. I can cut my 4 iron 190 if I need to but why. I play golf with my buddies from 0-6 and we have a blast and I was the last diehard. The 0 has been playing GI's for 2 years and recently qualified for the Senior Amateur in Jersey. You shoot 78 with your mizuno blades and I'll shoot 72 with my G25′s, makes no difference.
Agreed. I am 54 with a 6 HC. Have played pings all my life except for the last two years. For some reason I bought a set of taylormade 2.0 burners. They are long but sometimes in a bad way. Got the G25s yesterday. Had them fitted. Played today with them today. These irons are so much more consistent, better feel and ooooz with confidence. Will never ever play anything but pings again.
My handicap is +1.6 and I went and got fitted at ASU Karsten golf course two weeks ago. I hit every iron with different shafts and came to the conclusion that the g25 with the Cfs shaft was the correct fit for me. I am 51 years old and like the so called game improvement irons
Its funny that when Pings does something well, allot of people thrive on finding something negative to say. I say, bully!!!!! Ping lovers are gonna just love the new irons!!!!! These may be the best, well thought out and carefully engineered irons they have made to date. People who play Ping have come to realize that Ping just continues to make good stuff —– from an engineering standpoint and quality control, NOBODY does it better!!!! I say, well done Ping. Bravo!!!!!!!!!!! Carry on, ole chap!!!!!!
…and don't even compare Ping to TM on jacking up the lofts. TM is so overrated. They are backed adidas , so they have unlimited marketing funds. That's why Nike will be one of the big boys in the next few years. Marketing $$$ is king. Ping does it with quality products year after year.
I hate how people complain about the offset on the G series. They are GI irons, so they are supposed to have offset. Ask anyone and they will tell how easy G series irons are to get in the air. They are perfect for high handicappers. I have the i20, but still use my G20 on occasion.
Looking at the specs on Ping's website, one can compare the offset between these G25 irons and the previous model, the G20. Barely any difference, despite this article twice stating that these new irons have "moderate" offset. Bah, humbug
Compared to most brands, these still have a huge amount of offset, with only a few other irons categorized as super or max game improvement comparing as similar, such as Callaway's Diablo Edge irons.
Converting to millimeters to give folks a better idea, the new irons have only about a half millimeter less offset than the prior model, the G20.
The five iron is still close to 7 mm's in offset, which is a huge amount, so these would hardly be considered to have a moderate amount of offset.
The term may be used as a selling point to those who order online without seeing the clubs in person, but these really do have a lot of offset.
If you slice or push the ball, they may suit you well. Otherwise, get ready to start hooking the ball and hitting it higher than normal due to the offset.
The Ping i20 will still give you forgiveness without the tremendous amount of offset of the G series.
Beautiful looking finish, and the rest of the description sounds great.
Photos still show an awful lot of offset, regardless of what the description says.
Ping has always been king of massive offset in their G series of irons.
I think the i series looks better while still offering forgiveness.
26 deg 5 iron… starting to crank the lofts like Taylor Made i know its only 1 deg but this is how it starts
The lofts on the G25 are the same as the G20 and the G15….so I don't understand your point.
Nowadays a 26* 5 iron isn't too bad, considering that everybody is strengthening the lofts. Titleists are much stronger now too. Callaway's latest model is much stronger than previous ones. Even Mizuno is strengthening the lofts, more so on the JPX models.
TaylorMade RocketBallz has the five iron at 23*, I think. Now that's ridiculous, but then again, it's TaylorMade. I still recall Nick Faldo shilling for them in a video, saying how he hits the new (at that time) Burner 2.0 five iron way further than his own five iron. He doesn't mention that his own five iron had been a Mizuno MP model forged iron, so the loft was at a minimum a full club less. So even Faldo will play the huckster if the money is there.
Eventually folks will need two gap wedges just to fill the void between PW and SW on many sets.
These Ping lofts actually aren't that bad compared to most companies, and you can probably factor in another degree of loft considering that the Ping G series are very high ball hitters due to lots of offset, so that by the time the face catches up to the shaft, you've got a bit more loft than the stated amount built in already.
Check the Golf WRX homepage, as Tom Wishon has a great article about how many golf companies are ruining things by beefing up all the lofts so much, leaving little room between long irons and too much loft gap between the short irons.
Dude, what a whiner you are. Who cares what the loft is or wht number is on the sole? Bottom line, does the club perform well and help folks play better? TM is doing this and I think Ping is too.
its ruining the the game. the numbers and lofts due matter. people are hitting these clubs thinking "OMG, i just added 15 yards to my five iron", when in reality the new 5 iron is the same loft as your old 4 iron. same goes for the TM rocket ballz 3 wood. it goes further, but its an inch longer than the old 3 wood. its deceitful.
Yes, they due.
So what? At the end of the day it is all about what did you shoot and how much do you owe me!
So, we should all go back to Hickory shafted blades too?
I have the RBZ irons, not that I love them, but they are helping while I get my swing more consistent. 145 yard par 3, who cares what you pull out of the bag! I hit a 9 or pw based on hole location and wind. I've played with guys you hit 5 wood to 145 and they get closer.
Your game is YOURS.
Forget about jacked up lofts and what they stamp on the bottom, go play Golf. Once I get my swing right again, I'll upgrade to AP2′s and have to remember how far my 5 should go.
Titleist has a 44* pw and two gap wedges
48* and 52* then a 56* sw……
Just ordered a set!!!!! Can't wait to get 'em!!!!!! These really look slick!!!
Me Too !! Going the entire line, driver, fairways, hybrids, and irons!
After reading the reviews, this is much more of a players club than what one might think.
waaayyy too much offset.
Then don't play them

Callaway Earns More 2012 Medals than Any Other Club Manufacturer in Comprehensive Review
RAZR Fit Driver Named Editor's Choice; Odyssey's New Metal-X Line Dominates Putter Categories
CARLSBAD, CA, January 3, 2012 – Callaway Golf Company's (NYSE: ELY) soon-to-be-released 2012products received an outstanding vote of approval from Golf Digest's annual "Hot List" issue, arriving onnewsstands this week. The Hot List is a comprehensive golf equipment evaluation conducted by Golf Digest Publications' 38-person team of equipment editors, scientists, low-, mid- and high-handicap playertesters, as well as golf retailers. Over the course of several months, 286 separate entries were submitted and evaluated for the 2012 Hot List. In the end, only a fraction received Gold and Silver Medaldistinctions, and Callaway Golf Company earned more of them than any golf equipment manufacturer.
Leading the charge was Callaway's new RAZR Fit Driver, which earned a coveted Editor's Choiceselection, was distinguished as the best in Performance among the 32 drivers that were considered, and earned top marks in Innovation and Look/Sound/Feel. "It was love at first smite," said Golf Digest HotList judge John Strege, who added that the club was "Straight on two counts. Straight down the middle and straight into my bag."
Also in the bags of elite Tour Pros such as Phil Mickelson and Ernie Els, RAZR Fit made a resoundingstatement last month on a grand stage when Callaway Staff Professional Alvaro Quiros rode Callaway's adjustable driver to victory at the Dubai World Championship, averaging an incredible 312.7 yards perdrive. The much-anticipated RAZR Fit Driver will be available at retail on February 17.Callaway's RAZR X Black™ Driver, also new for 2012, earned a Silver Medal in the 2012 Hot List, as well as high praise from the editors and testers. Player comments featured include, "it just crushes the ballwith a natural draw, and mis-hits are in a tight pattern."…"The nice, powerful sound lets you know you've hit it well."Callaway's three new additions to the RAZR X® Family of Irons, RAZR XF™, RAZR X HL™ andRAZR X Black™, all earned Gold Medals. Callaway's new RAZR X Black Irons earned a Gold Medal inthe competitive Game-Improvement Irons category, prompting one low-handicap player to comment,"Every shot felt pure." RAZR XF captured Gold in the Super-Game Improvement Irons category andwas awarded 5-stars for Innovation. Golf Digest labeled RAZR XF "a technological tour de force." Alsoin the Super-Game Improvement category, Callaway's new RAZR X HL Irons prompted Golf Digest tooffer that "…you can hit it all over the face and still get a decent result." Callaway's original RAZR XIrons were a big hit once again, winning a Hot List Gold Medal for the second straight year.In the Putter categories, Callaway's leading Odyssey® brand dominated the competition with theintroduction of its new line of Metal-X™ putters. Both the Blade and Mallet submissions for Metal-Xwon Gold Medals for Odyssey. More impressively, they both were distinguished as the very best inPerformance among the 92 models considered.-moreCallawayand Odyssey 2012 Products Top Golf Digest's "Hot List" – Page 2Metal-X's innovative face design combines a layer of dimpled aluminum with urethane to create anunmatched blend of great feel and pure roll. One low-handicap tester commented, "It has great pop to theball and a smoothness of roll unlike anything else. The balance is flawless." Odyssey's Metal-X line willbe on display at The PGA Merchandise Show in January and available at retail on April 13.Rounding out the Putter categories for Odyssey were Silver Medals in both the Blade and Mallet sets forthe premium ProType® Tour Series. The #1 Putter in Golf's new 1025 carbon-steel offerings feature amilled face design and struck a chord with Golf Digest's testers. "'Gorgeous' is the first word that comesto mind," said one player. Another added, "It feels completely weightless, and the ball tracks perfectlylike it knows where it's going."Adding to Callaway's list were Gold Medals in the Fairway Woods and Hybrids categories. The newRAZR X Black Fairway Woods earned a Gold Medal and received a 5-star Performance rating. "Itinspires confidence at address, and it sounds great when you catch it off the grass," said one panelist.RAZR X® and RAZR X Tour® Hybrids were also awarded with a Gold Medal and drew the followingpraise from Golf Digest: "It's Callaway's best hybrid ever."Overall, Callaway and Odyssey won an industry-leading 16 Golf Digest Hot List Medals.

Last Thursday night (3/31) Roger Dunn Golf Shops hosted the first ever SCGA Member Night at their Santa Ana Superstore off the 55 FWY. SCGA Members were treated to a putting contest, Member Only deals on top name brand golf equipment, raffle prizes, Free 5 minute swing analysis, Free 5 minute Fitting in anyone of the private studios. A great time was had by all, and to top it all off, the Kogi Bar-b-q truck came in and fed everyone
Roger Dunn Golf Shops and the SCGA gave away a raffle prizes every 15 minutes. Here is a list of the winners:
Phil Mickelson won the Shall Houston Open on Sunday, bolstered largely by two stellar weekend rounds that have him primed for another run at this week's Georgia State Invitational golf tournament in the town of Augusta. There were no "problems" in Houston (get it?) for Mickelson, whose 2011 season "lifted off" with a course-record 63 on Saturday. He followed that with a 7-under-par 65 on Sunday to win by three shots. With the win he "launched" himself to No. 3 in the official world golf rankings and No. 2 in the FedExCup standings. (Those were NASA puns, by the way. Because NASA has a space center in Houston. And the tournament was also in Houston. So both things are in Houston. Surely, you see the connection there.)
Here is what Phil had in the bag:
RAZR Hawk Prototype Driver (9.5 degrees), Big Bertha Diablo 3-wood (15 degrees), RAZR X muscle back irons (5-PW), X-Forged Irons (3-iron and 4-iron), X-Series JAWS Wedges (52, 60 and 64 degrees), Odyssey White Hot XG #9 Putter and the Tour i(z) Golf Ball. —> http://www. worldwidegolfshops.com
Mickelson thanks Callaway after victory
Here's what Phil said following his win:
"This week is a great example of why I believe in 2004 signing with Callaway was the best decision I ever made for my career. Because when I had a bit of an issue, the head of R & D flew out, and because I've been experimenting with a couple drivers, he wanted to make sure I had the right ones. He brought the backups. I drove it great all week. It's a great example of why I feel that was the best decision I've ever made for my career, and I went on to win this week. And so I'm just very appreciative to the commitment they've made to me and that I get to be with them."
What does winning mean to Phil? Watch this video to find out
Dressed for success, Mickelson wears Callaway apparel
330-yard drives and a birdie putting barrage is all well and good, but let's be honest: the real story of the week was the breathability of Mickelson's Callaway shirts. Phil wore Callaway apparel and Callaway footwear on his way to victory. (Those were some flashy brown kicks on Saturday, by the way.)
Phil's stats
Mickelson used his Callaway RAZR Hawk Driver to average 314.6 yards off the tee this week, 6th best in the field. He also tied for 3rd in the field in putts per GIR, averaging 1.643 for the tournament using his Odyssey White Hot XG #9 Putter. With his RAZR X muscle back irons, X-Forged irons and JAWS Wedges, Lefty hit 78 percent of greens in regulation; 11th best in the field. He also caused Lee Westwood's caddie to bow down in reverence after a spicy chip-in on Saturday with his JAWS Wedge.
J.B. Holmes leads field in driving distance
Phil Mickelson wasn't the only one producing NASA-style liftoffs with his Callaway driver in Houston. J.B. Holmes led the field in average driving distance by averaging an absurd 326 yards with his Callaway FT Tour Driver.
White Driver Wins Again
First PGA Tour Win for Burner® SuperFast 2.0 Driver as Martin Laird Wins Arnold Palmer Invitational
Laird Ranked Fifth in Driving Distance (296.6); Also Plays New R11 Fairway, Daytona Ghost Putter
TaylorMade-adidas Golf Tour Staff professional Martin Laird won the Arnold Palmer Invitational playing the new white Burner SuperFast 2.0 driver. Laird's second PGA Tour victory marks the sixth worldwide for TaylorMade's white drivers and comes just three weeks after putting the club in his bag, at Doral.
Laird has ranked first (313.1), third (300.8), and fifth (296.6) in average driving distance at consecutive PGA Tour events. The added power helped him notch top-10 finishes at the WGC-Cadillac Championship (T10) and Transitions Championship (T5) before Sunday's breakthrough win at Bay Hill.
Laird also played the new R11 fairway (4-wood) and a Rossa Daytona Ghost mid-length putter; he wore FORMOTION apparel and adiPURE footwear from adidas Golf. On a day that will be remembered for its incredibly fast, firm conditions, it was Laird's stoic up-and-down on 17 and two-putt from 86 feet on the treacherous 18th green that secured the trophy.
Five of the top-10 finishes at the Arnold Palmer Invitational used a white TaylorMade driver. Laird's victory increases TaylorMade's worldwide driver win total to 13 this year – more than any other brand
In Laird's Bag:

I came home for lunch one day in first grade and the house was empty. As a minute stretched into five and then 15, I became convinced that my mom was gone forever. Sounds like the start of a therapy session, right? But being abandoned is a core fear that all humans harbor. I'm happy to report that my mom did return (stuck in traffic after a haircutting appointment that ran long), and I cried tears of relief between bites …

Your company needs competent engineers and scientists to solve reliability problems. Semitracks' 3-day Semiconductor Reliability training course offers detailed instruction on how to determine what failure mechanisms might occur, test for them, develop models for them, and eliminate them from the product.
What Will I Learn By Taking This Class?
- Overview of Reliability and Statistics. Participants learn the fundamentals of statistics, sample sizes, distributions, and their parameters.
- Failure Mechanisms. Participants learn the nature and manifestation of a variety of failure mechanisms that can occur at both the die and package levels. These include time-dependent dielectric breakdown, hot carrier degradation, electromigration, stress-induced voiding, moisture, corrosion, contamination, thermomechanical effects, etc.
- Test Structures. Participants learn how test structures can be designed to test for a particular failure mechanism.
- Test Strategies. Participants learn the basics of testing test structures, conducting design screening tests, and performing burn-in testing effectively.
This course is designed for every manager, engineer, and technician concerned with reliability in the semiconductor field, using semiconductor components, or supplying tools to the industry.
Course Objectives
- The seminar will provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the failure mechanisms, test structures, equipment, and testing methods used to achieve today's high reliability components.
- Participants will be able to gather data, determine the best way to plot data, and make inferences from that data.
- The seminar will identify and explain how major failure mechanisms are observed, modeled, and eliminated.
- The seminar offers a variety of video demonstrations of analysis techniques, so the participants can get an understanding of the types of results they might expect to see with their equipment.
- Participants will be able to identify basic test structures and how they are used to help quantify reliability on semiconductor devices.
- Participants will be able to knowledgeably implement screens that are appropriate to assure the reliability of a component.
- Participants will be able to identify appropriate tools to purchase when starting or expanding a laboratory.
Course Outline
Instructional Strategy
Our courses are dynamic. We use a combination of instruction by lecture, problem solving, and question/answer sessions to give you the tools you need to excel in the failure analysis process. From the very first moments of the seminar until the last sentence of the training, the driving instructional factor is application. The course notes offer hundreds of pages of reference material that the participants can apply during their daily activities.
Our instructors are internationally recognized experts. Our instructors have years of current and relevant experience in their fields. They're focused on answering your questions and teaching you what you need to know.
Our analysis instructional videos help you visualize the process. Semiconductor reliability analysis is a visual discipline. The ability to identify nuances and subtleties in images is critical to locating and understanding defects. Many tools output video images that must be interpreted by analysts. Our videos allow you to directly compare material you'll learn with your actual analysis work.

Governor Deval L. Patrick
Governor Returns From China Trade Mission
December 10, 2007
As Delivered
Tom Kinton, CEO of Massachusetts Port Authority
A number of us who have been around for quite a while cannot recall the head of Massport ever attending above a sitting Governor abroad to pitch an airline route for the state of Massachusetts so I want to thank you for that leadership. I want to report quickly on two very productive meetings we had with the Governor over in China. The first one being with Grand China Airlines, formerly known as Hanaan Airlines, they are the fourth largest airline in China today, and the fastest growing airline in China. We are very pleased to report back that they have indicated their desire to fly to Boston sometime during the summer of 09 and that is dependant upon two things, one is the approval from the CAAC which is the Civil Aviation Authority of China who awards these highly sought-after routes to Chinese carriers just as the DOT awards these highly sought-after routes to U.S. carriers. And Grand China did indicate to the Governor and I that they have filed with the CAAC to fly the Boston route. It is also dependent upon the delivery date of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft which is the latest Boeing Aircraft which is breaking all kinds of records for orders at Boeing, and right now they have indicated about a six month set-back on the delivery schedule. So Grand Chin is one of the first that will be receiving the 787 as it rolls off the assembly line and they have indicated again the start-up of that route would depend upon the timely delivery of the Boeing 787.
Geoff Mackay, CEO of Organogenesis
What we have to do is we have to understand what is the unmet medical need in China to see whether our technologies apply. We have to understand the re-imbursement, the regulatory landscape, and really we were not able to do that sitting in our offices in Boston. So to be able to go there and meet with the highest level of officials, the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Health as well as the U.S. Ambassador Chamber of Commerce really helped paint a picture for us as to what the landscape is over there. I think that the most important thing is that although we had identified a partner ahead of time, the negotiations which in fact took two days over there, really had a dramatic uplift because we were able to introduce to our Chinese partners Secretary O'Connell as well as the Governor and I think that would be important anywhere, but what is critical in China is that the value of government there is extremely is extremely high and it effectively created this electricity and creative momentum within the negotiations and eventually led to us announcing a memorandum of understanding to partner with a local company commercialize Organo-Genisis technologies that have been developed and manufactured here.
Governor Patrick
We met with high-level government officials in the commerce, environment, science and technology and civil aviation ministries. That is important in China because so much of private commerce is directed by or influenced by government policy and state action.
We were especially glad to have met with the leadership of the New China Investment Corporation which is responsible for investing the interest on China's staggering foreign currency reserve. That interest alone that the CIC will invest is somewhere on the order of $250 billion. We met with CEO's of companies, Chinese companies in the life sciences and the clean energy and transportation industries leading to a number of new opportunities to strengthen those markets here at home and some new agreements to promote sharing ideas and resources to advance these industries and I will mention just a few.
Organogenisis, a Canton-based company that develops regenerative medicine technologies signed an agreement with the National Tissue Engineering Center in Shanghai to open the door for Organogenisis to export its products to China and on through to Asia, and Geoff will say a little bit more about that in a minute.
The Massachusetts Technology Collaborative signed an agreement with the Chinese Wind Energy Association to collaborate on wind-energy technology and to establish an international wind-energy fund to promote research, the exchange of ideas, and the provisions of a device concerning wind energy technology in China as the company works to address the significant environmental, in particular air-quality in the larger cities and maybe Mitch, if you have a chance you can say a word or two about that.
The Massachusetts Medical Device Council, Mass Medic signed an agreement with the Chinese Association for Medical Device Industry, "CAMDI" it's called, to promote economic and technical development, collaborations and partnerships on both sides. And Tom is here, now that he's in front of the cameras he can address any questions you may have about that.
We have a commitment now from Grand China Air to begin non-stop air-service between Boston and Beijing and Shanghai within the next 18 to 24 months, and a strong sense I think it's safe to say from the Chinese Aviation Authority that they will look favorably upon that application. That's a good thing because as it turns out 70 thousand people as we know of travel between Boston and China every year and Tom will say a little bit more about that.
I was struck by a couple of things on this trip. First of all, China is aggressively expanding economically. And they're looking for investment both of U.S. companies into China and Chinese companies and Chinese State investment in the United States. Another thing I was struck by and I have been on other trips is that when China decides to do things, they get it done. You've heard or you have seen the cranes are everywhere. There is more building going on, there is more expansion going on. We learned about a hospital that once the government decided to really face up to the SARS epidemic, they realized they needed a thousand plus bedroom hospital and put it up in seven days time. We learned about the new high-speed rail service that's being constructed between Beijing and Shanghai, cut that trip down from about 12 hours now to I think it's a little less than 5 hours. But we rode the (7:17) Maglev, which is this extraordinary high-speed service that covers 18 miles or so between Shanghai and the Shanghai airport in seven minutes.
There is a tremendous focus, once the Chinese decide that they're going to do something to get it done, and there are great challenges that this expansion raises as well. The stress on the population, given the aging of the population and the increasing urbanization of the population, creates all kinds of demands in terms of health care. And those demands create an opening for a broader presence of our life sciences technology of others for cures and for therapies. The environmental degradation, frankly, particularly in the terms of air quality and the energy demand that the expansion creates, is also creating opportunities for expanding clean energy technology.
And I was struck by one other thing and that is that our universities represent a calling card for us in China. They give us instant credibility. Everybody, people were impressed with Massachusetts as an idea factory. Turns out, of course, that being able to describe accurately that those universities, the University of Massachusetts, Harvard, MIT and others, are the engine for the growth in life sciences and clean energy technology help to bolster that case with all of the partners with whom we met.
It was a very full, very busy, very useful and valuable visit on a lot of levels. And one of the things that I think we all know having done business in China and we're learning for those who are new, that the way this happens is that the first time you meet people it's quite formal. I don't know if some the pictures are here, but there are some extraordinarily scripted kinds of encounters. But the second time, you meet people as if you're old friends. So that we were able to get right down to business with folks we had met, Chinese CEOs we had met here before we went over. And I think for the follow up, and it's absolutely essential that there be follow-up at the government to government level. as well as at the level of individual businesses that we will be greeted as old friends. And that it will produce and continue to produce great results for Massachusetts.

Johnnie James Bills Sr.
Feb. 1, 1925 - Feb. 27, 2012
FERRIS - Johnnie James Bills, Sr., 87, passed away at his home in Ferris on Monday, Feb. 27, 2012 with his family by his side.
Johnnie was born in Carey, Texas on Feb. 1, 1925 to John L. and Madge (Caldwell) Bills. The Bills family had a 120 acre farm and dairy that he worked on with a horse drawn plow. He went to school through the 9th grade and quit to join the military. He joined the United States Army during World War II serving his tour in Europe and Korea.
After his military service he worked in heavy equipment and later owned a heavy equipment company named B & D Company for ten years with a crew of ten men, five backhoes and two Drotts. He worked on such projects as Parkland Hospital and Valley View Mall.
He sold the business and went to work for Matt M LaVail Inc. He worked on such projects for them as Texas Stadium and traveled five states installing buildings for the telephone company. He officially retired from the company in 1990 and then went back for an additional five years before he retired again.
His hobby was wood work. He made cedar chests and various furniture items for the home.
He is survived by his wife, Carolyn Bills for more than forty five years; children: William Bills and his wife Linda, Jeanette Pence, Johnnie Bills, Jr. and his wife, Patricia and Teresa and her husband, Tony Wilhoite; thirteen grandchildren and fourteen great-grandchildren. He was preceded in death by his parents, Madge and Ben Dearinger, John and Eva Bills, brothers, Conrad Bills and J.W. (Buck) Bills, daughters Linda Bills, Christine Bills and Debbie Arnold.
Visitation was on Friday, March 2, 2012 from 6 until 8 p.m. at the J.E. Keever Mortuary of Ennis. A celebration of his life took place on Saturday, March 3, 2012 at 10 a.m. in the J.E.

TPG reader Mark sent me some incredible 360 degree pictures he took from the top of the World Trade Center in June of 2000. He writes, "I think it would be nice to step back in time and remember the Twin Towers as they were" and I couldn't agree more.
View from the top of the towers

I vividly remember being a Freshman at the University of Pittsburgh on 9/11/2001 and being awoken by a frantic dorm-mate saying that the "country was under attack." Earlier that morning our entire dorm was evacuated for a fire, so I was extra tired and stunned by the news. As the events transpired we ended up getting evacuated as we learned that a plane went down outside of Pittsburgh and that more might be on the way.
Feel free to share your 9/11 story as I'm sure many of you were traveling at the time and have interesting perspectives.

Help bring in the New Year Chinese-style in Cleethorpes
Posted: January 30, 2013|
DANCING dragons, paper crafting and opera are coming to Cleethorpes to help the Chinese new year go with a bang.
Communities Together will hold its first ever Chinese New Year celebrations on Sunday, February 10, and everyone is invited.
The event at Cleethorpes Memorial Hall will go off like a firecracker from noon with food tasting, calligraphy and jewellery making demonstrations.
Executive committee member Pam Chung said: "We want to celebrate Chinese New Year with everyone.
"This is like Christmas for a lot of Chinese people.
"We usually celebrate for two weeks.
"This event will be the first of its kind in North East Lincolnshire and we are all really looking forward to it.
"On the day, there will be a variety of activities, including paper crafting, Tai Chi demonstrations and of course, Chinese food.
"We want local residents to come and join in with our celebration."
Throughout the afternoon there will be traditional dance demonstrations and Chinese opera, as well as a buffet.
Chairman Surinder Khurana added: "Our job is to promote diversity in North East Lincolnshire.
"We have never celebrated Chinese New Year together, so this event will be a first for us.
"We often hold cultural shows that are well-attended and we hope that this one will be as popular.
"We have been putting on events for six years now and we are hoping our Chinese New Year celebration will be the first of many."
Find out more
The celebration is a ticket only event and costs £5 for non-Communities Together members and £2.50 for members.

DALLAS (CP) _ DeMar DeRozan scored 15 points, including the go-ahead basket on a wild shot while getting fouled in overtime Friday night, and the Toronto Raptors beat the Dallas Mavericks 109-108.
The Raptors held on despite 23 points and a huge fourth quarter from old teammate Jose Calderon.
Toronto trailed 108-107 after a 3-pointer by Calderon when DeRozan's pump-fake got Brandan Wright and Shawn Marion in the air. DeRozan threw up a shot as he was bumped and it went in […]View Post...

Description & Objectives
Needs Statement
There is a need to provide physicians with an overview of the neurobiologic challenges of acute spinal cord injury, the current status of investigation for novel therapies that have been translated to human clinical trials, and the preclinical, scientific basis for each of these therapies. Clinicians will gain perspective on the challenges of translating research into human clinical trials and will be provided with the information they need to answer their patients questions about hoped-for neuroprotective and neurogenerative therapies for acute human spinal cord injury.
Intended Audience
This conference is particularly targeted toward spine surgeons, orthopedic surgeons, anesthesiologists, and infectious disease physicians, as well as all other physicians interested in acute human spinal cord injury in the Pacific Northwest, Alaska, Hawaii and Canada.
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this lecture, the participant will provide better patient care through an increased ability to:
- Review past human trials of acute spinal cord injury to illustrate the challenges of translation in human spinal cord injury
- Discuss the distinctions between lab-based preclinical studies and human spinal cord injury that make translation difficult
- Outline strategies for facilitating successful translation of interventions for human spinal cord injury

The doc re-tested it at 110/70 (both were taken manually) and said it's fine. Mine was always 120-something/80-something in the past so it seemed like something to be worried about. I'm guzzling water today since you are right, I was dehydrated yesterday and never really made up for that.
My IUD is fine. She used a mirror to show me the strings and my cervix, which was kind of cool. Unfortunately, my suspicions on a bacterial infection were correct, so I'll be picking up some antibiotics and Diflucan after work. I'm also going to be taking oil of oregano & caprylic acid again. I would try just using those to get things back to normal, but with the IUD, I don't want to increase my risk of getting PID or anything like that. The doc gave me some restrictions on sex...ideally no sex for 3 weeks, but if I'm going to have sex, we should use a condom. Since semen is alkaline and the vagina is acid, introducing semen while my vagina is recovering from bacterial vaginosis could throw the pH off again. Also, while I take the abx for BV, I'm not supposed to drink until it's been at least two days since the last dose. I'm not sure how long the prescription is for, but I'm sure I can manage that.
I'll go back in a month so she can re-test for the infection.

July 31, 2013 Former President, a democrat and a man who was born and raised in the deep south where faith and God meant something, has much to say about today's christian values.
President Jimmy Carter never forget his humble roots, his religion and his best years have been the decades and decades after he served as the President of the United States.
As much as the man is ridiculed by republicans, as they do with every Democratic President, he still remains a shining example of a man with ethics, values and a soul.
In this clip with his own words Jimmy Carter expresses what we all feel about being christians and what some people who claim to be one, don't follow that religion at all.
Photo: President Carter
"If you don't want your tax dollars to help the poor – then stop saying that you want a country based on Christian Values, because you don't."
President Carter still teaches religious values and travel the world working on human rights in poorer nations.

Issue with nomenclature
Hello everyone,
I am trying to build a nomenclature in my thesis. I am using Miktex 2.6 and Texnic Center. I am invoking "makeindex" as follows:
I tested write18 and it seems to work. The input file thesis.nlo shows entries as I define them in my document, but when I build the file (pdflatex) I get the following message:
So nothing is written in thesis.nls and therefore it is not processed in the main document. Nomenclature does not appear in the document. What could be wrong?
Re: Issue with nomenclature
Try making a batch fail with this information:
set path="C:\Programmer\MiKTeX 2.6\miktex\bin";%path%;
makeindex thesis.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o thesis.nls
Place it in your thesis file directory. Run the batchfile in yoyr theisdirectory instead of pressing "make index".
Be sure that the path to your Miketex 2.6 folder is the one listet above.
I had the same problem, but solved it this way. The reason was that my LaTeX files where placed in a network directory in school instead of on the local harddrive.
Hope it works for you.
