Sylvia McCloud Box 665 Ronan, 64T 59364 PABLO, MONTANA 59855 ISSN: 0528-8592 VOLUME 10 NUMBER 6 FULL MOON OF THE SERVICEBERRY JULY 15 1980 FIRST POW-WOW OF THE DECADE IS "WEIRDEST EVER" The Flathead Reservation's 82nd Annual Pow-Wow will go down in history as the "the weirdest celebration ever". In addition to the usual North American Indian dancing, stickgames and feasting, this year's five-day program featured two other kinds of Indians ~ Mexican and Scan-danavian. BRYAN BRAZILL CHOSEN I.T.Y.P. CHIEF Young Tribal member, Bryan Brazill, was named Chief of this year's Inter-Tribal Youth Practicum (ITYP), held on the Blackfeet Reservation last month. The 17-year-old high school senior from Arlee explained that ITYP Chief is equivalent to being chosen governor of Montana's Boys State program. Chairman of the "Bear Tribe" (one of 4 theoretical tribes at the practicum charged with devising and operating a "tribal government"), Bryan was also named the outstanding student of his group. These honors, he modestly explained, came as a result of his deep involvement with the seven-day learning experience. As half of the ITYP royalty ~ Leola Weed of Wyoming was named Princess - he's now looking forward to one of the benefits of chiefdom...a trip to Washington, D.C., later this summer. (Actually, he's been there before: he was the first runner-up at last year's meeting and accompanied then -Chief Wilfred Fish to the nation's capital city.) Bryan is the son of Virginia and Jack Brazill. A Salish Indian - "not Flathead", he stressed -- he enjoys Indian dancing and traveling to pow-wows with his family. He also sketches very stylized Indian designs (which we are featuring in this issue with Bryan's permission) and enjoys drumming, as in "Rock and Roll", not war chants. Mexico's Indian population was represented by seven young people who call themselves "Esplendora Azteca". The dance group delighted pow-wow goers five evenings in a row with their high energy renditions of half-a-dozen ancient Aztec dances, including the popular "Fire Serpent" finale featuring a five-foot-long live snake and a dancer who stepped on and over a flaming torch. The Scandanavian "Indians" were ten foreign exchange students from Norway (see their story on page 24 ). After singing two of their native Sami folk songs, they were invited to participate in a special honor dance. With that brief initiation to North American Indian dancing under their belts, the group's endurance was put to a test as they were led in a rousing Oklahoma Two-Step dance. After yet a third circuit around the dance pavilion, this time in a tamer intertribal, the Sami students drifted away - some with a buckskin outfitted guide - to check out the rest of the pow-wow sights and photograph them for the folks back home. Briefly, now, here's a summary of Arlee's big July "doings": July 2 - Wednesday afternoon was devoted to an afternoon-long memorial observance for Tom W. Brown, a well-known and well-liked Tribal elder, who died last year. The event included a memorial ceremony, a give-away and a feast. ¦ «Sfr a» ^» i^i ¦< (Continued on page two) INSIDE THIS ISSUE: Guest Editorial..

Meb Keflizighi of the Mammoth Track Club won the U.S. National Marathon Olympic Trial Saturday in Houston, setting a personal record along the way.
Ryan Hall, a former Mammoth runner who split away from the Mammoth Track Club more than a year ago, placed second.
The Mammoth Lakes Lakers, our local pond hockey team, are headed to Minneapolis to compete for the Golden Shovel in the sixth annual U.S. Pond Hockey Championship.
You might not have heard about the Mammoth Lakes Lakers, but they've been around as long as … well … as long as Mammoth locals have been skating and playing hockey.
This year, the Mammoth Lakes Lakers are Jeff Posey, Peter Chapman, Mike Rousseau, Ryan Widen, Jim Lynch and Joe Hannigan.
As it turns out, the political wrangling and the financing debates have worked themselves out, adding to a record season at the newly reopened ice rink.
December attendance at the rink doubled over December 2009—the last season the rink was open. Going into the New Year, the rink already is 85 percent of the total attendance than it had in 2009-10.
"What a time to reopen the Ice Rink," said Stuart Brown, the Town's recreation director.
"Attendance has been through the roof and the quality of the experience on the ice for our guests has surpassed our expectations," he said.
Neither dust nor sun nor heat of night shall keep the Village Championships from their appointed rounds.
"The VCs" begin on Tuesday with the Race Department putting up gates for the first round of racing. The second round will take place Jan. 24, followed by races on Jan. 31, Feb. 7, Feb. 14, Feb. 28, March 20; and April 3. The VC team and individual finals will be April 10.
It's a wide-open competition, as it has been for 36 previous seasons. The racers are local and regional business owners, master's racers, junior team coaches, ski instructors, current and past competing racers.

When you combine ska and your cock. But ska is still sick. The perfect word for a douche bag/ asshole. Most likely a dick. Had a fight with his barber. His hair is long as fuck on one side, buzzed on the other. He gets pissed when you call him Rodriguez. Works at boy scout summer camp and rapes little children. People may mistake him for Rihanna. His name is hard as fuck to remember. I think its Radrido

Where did the blog feature go?
[Note: posting this in preparation for the redesign; blogs are still around for another 24 hours until the redesign launches, at which point I'll remove this top note]
Hello! You've probably ended up here by trying to visit an Anime-Planet blog post. Back in April 2014 we announced that we were deprecating the blog feature, and put up red warnings about the deprecation on all blog posts and blog pages (and, there was a community effort to inform people about the deprecation, so they could have a few months to migrate content away if desired). In the few years that the blog feature was up, it saw very little use by only a handful of site users (in relation to how many users the site has). It was a time-sink to maintain, and took away from our ability to add new, really awesome features and functionality you love (like the video integrations, or the redesign). It was a hard decision, but one that was made for the greater good. For the few of you who used the blog feature over the years, your support is not forgotten and is appreciated.

From the start, Kishi could've given Senju all of Uzumaki's redeeming features without the sealing jutsus, and made Naruto just a "normal" kid. Or, if he wanted to link Naruto to Rikudou by force, just make Uzumaki's the originary clan and let Senju be known for what they theorically are, the Younger Son descendants.
This is under the premise that I did not include Hashirama as a standard Senju, since his powers were never found in other Senju and he is, thus, an anomaly, while Uzumakis powers can be traced in all Uzumakis introduced.
We've got the confirmation that Uzumaki = Senju in inheritance, meaning that, bluntly, Senju are relegated even more in the trash can as they already were (You have a bunch of Sharingan-wielding Uchihas and you only have 1 Mokuton user in the entire Senju clan as far as the history goes?).
Senju's worth was, up until now, basically having the Younger Son's body and pure inheritance, while Uzumaki were basically "distant cousins", very much like one can assume Hyuugas are for Uchihas.
With this last piece of information though, I can't help but feel how useless Senju are portrayed by the author, almost like they were just stuffed there to make a connection that wasn't with Naruto, for reasons unknown ( since Naruto and Sasuke are compared to Hashirama and Madara since part 1 ).
Objectively, Uzumakis have received the gifts Rikudou bestowed upon his Younger Son, while Senju don't have shit.
Lets compare the two based on what the manga has said so far:
Senju Clan:
Uzumaki Clan:

Long-running disputes involving Verizon, Netflix, and Internet bandwidth providers are flaring up, causing recent slowdowns in Netflix speed.
According to a Wall Street Journal report tonight, "[t]he online-video service has been at odds with Verizon Communications Inc. and other broadband providers for months over how much Netflix streaming content they will carry without being paid additional fees. Now the long simmering conflict has heated up and is slowing Netflix, in particular, on Verizon's fiber-optic FiOS service, where Netflix says its average prime-time speeds dropped by 14 percent last month."Further Reading
However, there are other ways Verizon can play hardball and affect Netflix performance. Netflix has been pushing ISPs to host its caching equipment within their data centers and to peer directly with the video provider—that is, exchange traffic without a third-party intermediary.
"Netflix wants broadband companies to hook up to its new video-distribution network without paying them fees for carrying its traffic," the Journal noted. "But the biggest US providers—Verizon, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and AT&T Inc.—have resisted, insisting on compensation."
ISPs are under no obligation to accept Netflix's peering and caching offers. Teaming up with Netflix might improve performance for consumers, but not doing so isn't the same as refusing to carry traffic. If Verizon's network and its interconnections with third-party networks are strong, Netflix quality should be reasonably good.
The biggest problem is probably the same one we've seen in previous disputes: the connections between ISPs and the Internet bandwidth providers that Netflix pays to distribute its traffic to the rest of the Internet.
As we've reported before, those bandwidth providers, such as Cogent Communications, have traditionally exchanged traffic with consumer ISPs without money changing hands. But ISPs are using increases in Netflix traffic as justification to demand payment.
When negotiations stall, Verizon could put pressure on Cogent by delaying equipment upgrades needed to add capacity to links that have become congested. Cogent accused Verizon of doing just that last June, and it seems it may be happening again.
"People familiar with Cogent's and Netflix's thinking say the cable and telephone companies are delaying upgrading existing connections," the Journal reported. "Executives at major broadband providers, meanwhile, privately blame the traffic jam on Netflix's refusal to distribute its traffic more efficiently. ... Neither side is budging, people familiar with the matter said, leading to growing congestion."
The report noted that "Verizon has a policy of requiring payments from networks that dump more data into its pipes than they carry in return. 'When one party's getting all the benefit and the other's carrying all the cost, issues will arise,' said Craig Silliman, Verizon's head of public policy and government affairs."
Netflix traffic being sent from Cogent to consumer ISPs has reportedly increased in the months since Netflix started offering its so-called "Super HD" streams to all customers, rather than just customers of ISPs who have partnered with Netflix.
"Within the past four to six months, Netflix traffic through Cogent's connections to one major broadband provider has at least quadrupled, one person familiar with the matter said," the Journal reported.
Netflix declined to comment on financial disputes with Verizon.
Cogent told Ars that "this is a continuation of the same dispute" that we wrote about last June. A Verizon spokesperson called this latest news a "replay of the longstanding issue you guys covered a while back."
For a more thorough look at how peering disputes affect online video, check out our feature, "Why YouTube buffers: The secret deals that make—and break—online video." We also wrote about how using a VPN or third-party DNS service can sometimes improve Netflix performance when peering battles cause congestion.

Use this field to narrow your chandelier selection by the maximum price.
Narrowing by Finish
Because there are so many unique finishes offered by the manufacturers we carry, we have grouped them into common tones to more easily allow you to find the finish you're looking for.
UL Wet Location:
Wet rated chandeliers can be placed in locations where they will be in direct contact with water such as outdoors.
UL Damp Location:
Damp rated chandeliers are designed to be installed in locations where they will not be in direct contact with water but may experience damp conditions due to condensation or other indirect water contact.
UL Dry Location:
Dry location fixtures should only be installed in locations where they will experience no contact with water
If you would like to view one specific manufacturer, please select one from the list below.
Bell Shades
Bell shades typically will be narrow where they attach to the fixture tapering to a wider opening for the bulb.
Cylinder Shades
Cylinder shades are round straight shades that predominantly project light in one direction.
Rectangular Shades
Rectangular or square shades are classically associated with contemporary, art deco and asian styling.
Round Shades
Round and spherical shades are less common in American homes but provide a very distinct look that accent vessel sinks quite well.
Ambient Lighting
Ambient Light is designed to splay light in all directions and is usually good for close to ceiling applications.
Down Lighting
Down Lighting directs light downwards by using open bottom shades to minimize the amount of light that is projected upwards towards the ceiling.
Up / Down Lighting
Up / Down Lighting chandeliers generally will have bulbs on the arms and either a bowl or another light source in the center of the fixture. These chandeliers are good for installation in open areas where light is helpful in both directions such as near a staircase.
Up Lighting
Up Lighting is a common type of chandelier and although the light is being directed upwards will still provide ample illumination for many applications. Some manufacturers offer chandeliers in both up lighting and down lighting styles.
Compact Fluorescent (CFL)
CFL bulbs are more and more frequently becoming the norm in the American household. With their long life span and bright shades CFL's are always a good option if you want a fixture that performs and saves you money every year.
Candelabra bulbs are more common in chandeliers than they are in any other lighting. Chandeliers with candelabra bulbs may or may not include shades but everyone can be accented with shades that are designed to be clipped to the bulbs themselves.
Halogen bulbs are known for their brightness and long life spans. Although these bulbs get quite hot they are a good solution if you are looking for ample amounts of light.
Incandescent or Fluorescent
We have combined all the fixtures that can use either a CFL or a standard incandescent bulb into one simple location so you can choose whether you would like a more traditional setup or an energy saving CFL configuration.
Selecting the Number of Bulbs
Use this section to select the number of bulbs that you prefer your fixture to have. Once you select a given range you will be able to narrow it down further to a specific number of bulbs.
For example, if you are shopping for a 2 light fixture you will want to select "0-3 Lights", and then "2 Bulbs" in the "Bulb Count" section on the next screen.
Chandelier Height
The height of the chandelier is determined by the distance of the lowest point of the fixture to the point at which the chain connects to the fixture.
Chandelier Width
The width of the bathroom fixture is determined by the distance from the furthest reaching outside left point to the furthest reaching outside right point.

The stuffocating feeling of having too much stuff. There is no more room for any more stuff; If I buy one more thing I may stuffocate. Every closet and drawer is already jammed with stuff.

so.. gallium would have GPU accelerated code also? or only CPU ?
lolz. Michael, 640 x 4800 is a serious business resolution that you shouldn't be fucking with. Proof-reading ma man .
so.. gallium would have GPU accelerated code also? or only CPU ?
The LLVMpipe rasterizer scales very well with core count doesn't it? On a 6-core cpu one should expect better performance right?
It should scale very well with the number of cores, yes, but core count, raw MHz and memory performance all play a role.
Eh, software fallbacks are an OpenGL developer's worst nightmare. The API should report an error when you try to use an unsupported feature, so you can fallback to a simpler implementation or bail out completely.
Software fallbacks are nasty because you don't know when they are going to trigger and there's little you can do when they do trigger. You can rest assured that no user will appreciate a 2fps rendering, they'll just say e.g. Google Earth sucks and delete it from their system.
Fortunately, the situation is much better nowadays where we have more capable hardware and an OpenGL that is better-aligned with hardware capabilities. This used to suck much more back around the R200/R300 era when you could hit shader limits trivially (and sometimes randomly).
BlackStar, just shut the fuck up. I'm not even going to make any effort defending software fallback. If a user doesn't like 2fps Vs. a blank screen the problem is simply between keyboard and chair. Nobody who is able to influence the Gallium3D code will think otherwise. Noobs be noobs.
V!ncent, the issue here is that many applications include code paths for different levels of GL support, so in most cases exposing a lower level of GL support that is fully HW accelerated will give a better user experience than exposing the higher level of GL support but with a few software fallbacks.

The Renaissance city of Venice is one of the most enchanting cities in the world. What could be more romantic than hiring a gondola for a ride through the maze of its narrow channels? Leisurely strolls on its small cobblestone alleys and ornate stone arch bridges have the ingredients for a perfect holiday.
Venice consists of 118 islands, best viewed from the motorised Vaporetto waterbuses which run on regular routes between the islands. San Marco is probably the best-known Venetian island, the lively principal square of which is home to the Basilica of San Marco and the Doge's palace. The Rialto Bridge, a symbol of Venice that was built in the 16th century, takes you from the square over the Grand Canal. On the other side of the canal, you will find cosy restaurants, small boutiques and the Rialto markets which offer not only a magnificent show but also some tasty Italian treats. Other famous islands include Murano, which is renowned for its glassmaking tradition, Burano known for its lacework and Lido, famed for its sandy beaches.
The airport is located 8 km north of Venice.
Finnair flies to Venice from 21 June until 15 August 2015.

It began November 2004. Andrea was in her junior year at The Ethel Walker School, an all-girls boarding school in Simsbury, CT. She developed a serious pain in her hip, which she attributed to the intensive dance program she had joined at the beginning of the semester. A trip to the on-campus doctor resulted in a prescription for a muscle relaxant. The drug helped relieve some of the symptoms, which, in turn, allowed Andrea to continue dancing.
Excruciating Pain
By Christmas break, during a visit to her father's home in Florida, the pain became excruciating. Still under the impression that it was related to her dancing, Andrea visited a local chiropractor. Again, this temporarily relieved some of the pain. However, by the time she returned home to her mother in New York, the pain had returned with a vengeance.
"I woke up one night, crying hysterically because I was in pain and no one knew why," Andrea remembers. "School had already resumed, but my mother would not let me go back to Connecticut until she knew what was wrong with me."
Probably Not Cancer
The path to diagnosis began with an x-ray of Andrea's hip. The x-ray led to a biopsy. The doctor performing the biopsy informed Andrea and her family that the results from the biopsy would not be available for two weeks but that the symptoms were probably not caused by cancer. "During those two weeks, my friends would call me from school, asking when I was coming back," Andrea says. "My usual answer would be 'within the next week.' But at the time, knowing something serious might be happening, I remember thinking, 'I am not coming back next week, or maybe even for the next few months.'"
Two weeks later, Andrea received a call from the doctor, asking her to come into the office. "I was in a wheelchair at this point, recovering from the biopsy, and I was wearing a leg brace because my leg was so weak that it couldn't support my body's weight," Andrea says. "At the doctor's office, we were led into a room with three chairs, a desk, and a box of tissues. The doctor came in and said that the biopsy went well, and that the team had come to a definite answer."
"Wait, Are You Talking About Cancer?"
The definite answer was that Andrea had an advanced stage IV non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. "My immediate response was: 'Wait, are you talking about cancer? Am I going to college? Is my hair going to fall out?'" she remembers asking.
The rest of the conversation was a blur for Andrea. "I just sat there with nothing else to say, looking out the window and sobbing, while the doctor continued to talk to my family," she says of that fateful day. Her family shared in her tears. This was the only time she would witness her family crying. "My family had their sad moments," she explains, "but they told me that we were all going to get through this together."
From College Applications to Surviving Cancer
Andrea's priorities quickly changed from college applications to trying to survive cancer. After the diagnosis, Andrea, along with her mother and aunt, spent a week visiting five hospitals, looking to find the one that would offer the best treatment option for Andrea. Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center was the third hospital they visited.
"If It's Cancer, We Want to be at Sloan Kettering"
"The whole week was so physically and emotionally taxing that all I remember is walking into Dr. Trippett's office at Memorial, feeling desperately in need of help," Andrea recalls. "I was sick and in a wheelchair. Dr. Trippett immediately asked to see my x-rays and biopsy results." (Memorial Sloan Kettering's Tanya Trippett is a pediatric oncologist who specializes in the treatment of lymphoma.)
Andrea was admitted into inpatient care soon after the records were reviewed. "I felt that Memorial was just waiting for my arrival," Andrea marvels. "I knew I was at the right place. I was scared and my family was scared, but Dr. Trippett and her team reassured me that I was at the right place to get better."
The Challenges of Treatment
Two days later, Andrea received her first chemotherapy treatment. As with all pediatric non-Hodgkin's patients, Andrea's treatment involved the use of a combination of chemotherapy agents. As her treatment progressed, Andrea struggled with some treatment-related side effects, including mood swings caused by a drug called Prednisone.
" It's important for outside caretakers to understand [how sensitive a teenager undergoing cancer treatment can be]. Knowing this will help them to be more patient with the person undergoing treatment. "
Andrea Coggin
"One day, in the middle of treatment, I was out shopping with my mother, when I decided I wanted a slice of pizza that I had seen in a shop," Andrea recalls, laughing at the memory. "My mother went inside the store to get me the slice. But she got me the wrong one, and I was not about to eat the slice she brought me. She went back in, bought the right slice, and brought it out to me. But then, as we were leaving the parking lot, I went to take a bite of the pizza and dropped the entire slice on the floor. I was so distraught from the Prednisone that I cried for ten minutes."
Andrea tells this story as an example of how sensitive a teenager undergoing cancer treatment can be. "It's really important for outside caretakers to understand this," Andrea offers. "Knowing this will help them to be more patient with the person undergoing treatment."
Andrea's family and friends helped her to get through the rigorous chemotherapy regimen. And when she is asked to single out any individual staff members who were particularly instrumental, Andrea mentions the entire team at Memorial Sloan Kettering, saying, "I've had so many life talks with so many of my nurses, doctors, assistants, teachers, and so many more people that it's impossible to specify any one person. That's the beauty of Memorial Sloan Kettering. There are so many different personalities in one place, people who allow you to connect with them on common ground — no matter what their job title is at the hospital."
The Best Christmas Gift
Andrea successfully completed her last chemotherapy treatment on December 25, 2005. "It still is the best Christmas gift that I've ever received," she says. "I knew that day would come for me, and I was so thankful for all of my family and friends, who were on this journey with me."
Today, Andrea is in her senior year at Stetson University in Deland, Florida, where she is majoring in international business, with a minor in Spanish. During the summer of 2008, she studied abroad in Innsbruck, Austria, and she completed her minor this summer in Guanajuato, Mexico.
" Andrea is an inspirational young woman whose strength of character was readily evident in how she approached the diagnosis, treatment, and recovery from her cancer. "
Tanya Trippett, Pediatric Oncologist
After completing her undergraduate degree, Andrea plans to go onto a joint MBA/JD program, which she intends to use to pursue a career as a legal analyst for an international corporation. If the determination she showed getting through her battle with cancer is any indication, she has a bright career ahead of her.
When asked to offer a final piece of advice to other teens and young adults going through a similar experience with cancer, Andrea doesn't hesitate. "The saying 'everything happens for a reason" is a cliché, but it also happens to be true," she says with confidence born from experience. "I would never take back my experience with cancer because it has given me motivation to live my life to the fullest and to love the people I surround myself with. Oddly, I am thankful for what cancer has done to me and for how it has impacted my life. My experience would never be the same without those angels I came into contact with at Memorial Sloan Kettering."

If you have been redirected to this page it is because the website you were attempting to visit has been shut down by a court order due to its sale and distribution of counterfeit golf products in violation of federal laws. Please take a few moments to review this website for more information on how you can avoid purchasing counterfeit golf products and help to "Keep Golf Real."
The U.S. Golf Manufacturers Anti-Counterfeiting Working Group is an organization dedicated to stopping the production, distribution and sale of counterfeit or "fake" golf equipment across the globe. Formed in 2004, the group is made of five of the most well-known golf manufacturers in the world –Callaway-Odyssey; TaylorMade-adidas Golf whose brands include TaylorMade, adidas Golf, Adams and Ashworth; PING; Srixon, Cleveland Golf and XXIO; and Acushnet Company whose brands are Titleist, FootJoy and Scotty Cameron. These manufacturers came together to protect the integrity of the game and to protect the consumers they've served for so many years.
The group works internationally with law enforcement and government agencies to identify and eliminate counterfeiting operations while simultaneously working to raise consumer awareness of the issue. This isn't a brand issue, it's an honesty issue, a quality issue, and in some cases, a safety issue. For the good of customers and the game, the group is committed to putting an end to these fakes.
Join us at the 2015 PGA Merchandise Show! The group will be in attendance to discuss the counterfeit problem and what consumers can do to help Keep Golf Real.
For golfers, the issues with counterfeit clubs can range anywhere from a loss of distance and accuracy to a safety issue—with shafts that shatter and heads that fly off mid-swing. Some golfers look online and see what they think are top-of-the-line clubs at bottom barrel prices, so they buy them. But as the old adage goes, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Although we would like to educate golfers on how to spot a fake, the truth is the most reliable way to be sure someone is purchasing an authentic product is to buy the product from an authorized source. There will always be a risk that a product purchased from an unauthorized source will be counterfeit. Counterfeit manufacturers are constantly changing and it's becoming more and more difficult to spot counterfeits…until you play golf with them.
Authentic clubs maximize a golfer's performance. To ensure the golf equipment you're purchasing, or have already purchased is authentic, ask yourself the following questions:
It's estimated that as many as 2 million counterfeit golf clubs are produced each year. To put that number in perspective, if you laid every fake club end-to-end they would stretch from Bethpage Black to Pebble Beach and back again. That's more than 5000 miles. And that doesn't even take into account the millions of fake balls, bags, gloves, and apparel produced. It's a major problem.
The growth of the Internet and rogue websites selling fakes has led to an increase in the sale of counterfeit golf products over the last decade. As a result, consumers purchasing golf equipment from unauthorized dealers are often times duped into spending their hard earned money on fake goods. The efforts of the group have led to raids and seizures of a substantial number of counterfeit clubs, but there is still considerable work left to be done.

Two Weeks, Five Raids: Nearly 90,000 Fakes Seized in Latest Efforts by Golf Anti-Counterfeiting Group
June 30, 2014
The U.S. Golf Manufacturers Anti-Counterfeiting Working Group (The Golf Group) announced today the successful raids of five China-based counterfeiting targets, carried out over the past month. The operations, which were executed by Chinese law enforcement with the assistance of the Golf Group, resulted in the seizure of nearly 90,000 counterfeit golf products and continued the momentum that the Golf Group and Chinese authorities have built toward stopping the spread of fakes.
Golf Anti-Counterfeiting Group Efforts Lead to Significant Sentences in Ongoing Fight Against Fakes
May 21, 2014
The U.S. Golf Manufacturers Anti-Counterfeiting Working Group (The Golf Group) announced today the convictions and sentences of seven men charged with manufacturing and selling counterfeit golf products, another critical step in the Golf Group's efforts to enforce anti-counterfeiting laws internationally. The Chinese court system handed down the sentences in two separate court cases last week.
What is the Golf Group doing to get rid of counterfeiting in golf?
It comes down to two things — education and enforcement. Since forming the anti-counterfeiting group we've worked with law enforcement officials around the world to conduct raids and to chase down those involved in this criminal activity.
Education may be even more important to our efforts because as long as people are willing to buy these fakes, counterfeiters will continue to make them. We are committed to educating golfers on the risks and pitfalls associated with these clubs. This website is just one part of our education efforts.
How are your efforts going?
In 2012, the Golf Group's efforts with the help of Chinese law enforcement led to the seizure of more than 500,000 counterfeit golf products highlighted by a clustering campaign initiative resulting in the arrest of more than 30 suspects from raids of 14 different locations.
Continuing that momentum into 2013, the Golf Group helped law enforcement seize thousands of counterfeit golf products throughout the year and saw its efforts lead to more than 250 websites selling counterfeit golf products having been shut down. The Golf Group looks forward to building on its recent success and continuing to increase consumer awareness and preventing the production, distribution and sale of fake gold equipment across the globe.
How can I be sure that I purchase authentic products?
The only way to be sure is to always buy your golf equipment from an authorized dealer.
I think I purchased fake clubs. What can I do?
Although it's up to you to decide what's in your best interest, here are several options you might consider:
Where are fake clubs made?
While the vast majority, more than 90 percent, of counterfeit golf products are made in China, they can be made anywhere. The Golf Group has investigated and raided counterfeit manufacturers in China, Thailand and Vietnam, to name just a few locations.

HR University showing worth, expanding after first year
Tuesday - 3/20/2012, 5:44am EDT
Kathryn Medina, executive director, CHCO Council
Speed dating inspired HR University's recent "flash mentoring" event at the Patent and Trademark Office's Virginia headquarters. Sure, there are more business suits and less makeup than at the typical dating event, for starters. But the basic idea is the same: to get people out of their typical routines for a quick, fun and easier approach to an often anxiety-laden subject.
Participants from 20 agencies sat at round tables and nervously chit-chatted as they waited for the buzzer to sound, signaling the start of their first mentoring session. Senior human resources leaders, including Office of Personnel Management Director John Berry, joined their tables and listened to their stories. Then, they offered a few pearls of wisdom.
"I see where they are in terms of what they need and where they're going," said mentor Gail Lovelace, who retired last year as the chief people officer for the General Services Administration. "If I can have one person leave here more inspired to do their jobs well, that's what I live for. My career was where it was because of the mentors I had."
In addition to flash mentoring events, HR University has just added college-accredited courses to its online platform. OPM and the Chief Human Capital Officers Council launched the learning platform last year amid growing concerns that tight budgets would force agencies to cut back on training staff. The mostly online platform allows agencies to post their training curricula so that others can use it for free.
In its first year, HR University has saved agencies $12 million, said CHCO Council Executive Director Kathryn Medina.
"It used to be that several agencies would recreate the same type of content but they would tailor it specifically to their own agency. When they did that, they would miss out on pooling those resources," she said.
Shared services paying dividends
The savings estimate represents "one agency making the investment and putting it on HRU," she said. "When another agency accesses that training, it means they had their own need for it. But instead of building their own training, they're getting it in for free."
About 28 agencies are either posting courses to the site or encouraging staff to register for courses. Nearly 10,000 federal workers have signed up for the HR University courses, she said. OPM plans to double enrollment by the end of this year.
While the HR University focuses on human resources-related issues, it is trying to attract managers and supervisors in addition to human resources professionals.
For example, she said, "you're talking about having difficult conversations and supervisory responsibilities," in new training on upcoming changes to the way managers evaluate employees' performances.
To welcome new users, OPM recently put "Expedia-like" search functions in the course catalog, Medina said. It also now posts users' evaluations of courses using a five-star system.

Stripe Training 2
20 comments:
Ha! Striped kitty. I have one of those, too.
I finally broke down and got past my fear of horizontal stripes and got a navy and white striped t-shirt.
Now the craving for more stripes is unstoppable! I almost bought a navy and white striped dress with embroidered flowers along the bottom last weekend. Why I didn't, I'll never know.How astute of you to even show us inside stripes..
I like stripes..
Maybe I should wear them plus souvent.
I'm so plain.
I love the baby shoes,chaussettes at the top:)See? That proves I have French blood, even if it is Canadian. I love stripes! My favorite shirt looked like a sailor shirt, and the colors were a fanastic purple and white. The only problem now is, stripes emphasize my need to lose 30 pounds. Oh well. My favorite shirt wore out a long time ago anyway.

When i accepted the fact I was powerless , I also needed a greater power to restore me to sanity..If I belive and accept this . making a decison was alredy done.

In a musical realm where scale of influence has little to do with commercial success, few originators of the extreme metal arts evoke as deep a sense of mystery, or incite such hushed, reverential tones of admiration, as Sweden's Bathory. Essentially a one-man operation helmed by the mysterious Quorthon, Bathory's development from the rawest form of embryonic black metal, to thrash, death, and back to its self-devised Viking-themed black metal, has mirrored and regularly defined the genre's very evolution. Indeed, along with Switzerland's Celtic Frost, Germany's Kreator, and Denmark's Mercyful Fate, they easily qualify as one the most important European extreme metal acts of the '80s and '90s. The Swedish-born multi-instrumentalist Quorthon (also known as Black Spade and/or Ace Shoot, although his real name, Thomas Forsberg, is still the subject of debate) formed Bathory in 1983 with sidemen Hanoi (bass) and Vans (drums). These two would soon be ejected, however, just as soon as they'd completed work on two of the best tracks heard on 1984's now infamous Scandinavian Metal Attack compilation. Influenced by every form of speed metal known to man at the time (which, admittedly, wasn't much), Bathory soon staked a claim as Scandinavia's answer to Motörhead and Venom (from whose song "Countess Bathory" they attained their name). And, like Venom's early work, Bathory too were challenged by the downright primitive recording conditions of Heavenshore Studios (actually a converted car garage and storage space) — limitations which inadvertently set the rough, uncompromising template that was later carefully scrutinized and accepted as gospel by generations of black metal-metal musicians. In fact, 1984's eponymous debut and its like-minded successor, 1985's The Return were so inaccessible, so unprecedented in their abrasive anti-commercialism, as to be ahead of their time, carving a niche all their own within this quickly developing subgenre. Interestingly, the additional curiosity that Bathory rarely performed live (and never, after 1985), and that these recording provided almost no information about its constituents (which, aside from main man Quorthon, briefly included various anonymous bassists and drummers going by the monikers Kothaar and Vvornth) only added to their cult-like mystique over time. Not even this promising start was enough to sustain Bathory's momentum within such limited stylistic boundaries, however, and, after exhausting the possibilities of rudimentary black metal with his first two efforts, Quorthon realized that a creative face-lift was necessary. Sure enough, over the course of their third and fourth albums, 1987's transitional Under the Sign: The Sign of the Black Mark and 1988's watershed Blood Fire Death, Bathory re-focused its interests — away from rock & roll-based arrangements and towards a more purely European aesthetic. Gradually incorporating symphonic elements drawn from classical music into its black and death metal base, by the time of Blood Fire Death Quorthon had abandoned most of the rote Satanic/Christian-bashing lyrics of yore, and embraced the pagan themes and Viking mythology of his ancestors. This anthemic approach culminated in what many consider to be Bathory's finest hour, 1990's landmark concept opus Hammerheart. Part quantum leap, part continuation of Blood Fire Death's sketches, the album in no way recalled Bathory's humble origins, and provided the archetype for 1991's nearly-as-revered Twilight of the Gods, to boot. Confirming the impact of this vision, these three works helped ignite a surge of patriotism through music for countless Scandinavian youths, who subsequently began celebrating their pre-Catholicism cultural heritage. Sadly, while commendable for encouraging a self-contained and highly inventive local scene (featuring Mayhem, Emperor, Darkthrone et al.), this movement also sowed the seeds for future acts of hateful vandalism (as ghoulish as they were absurd) and outright murder at the hands of a small extreme contingent. Ironically, Quorthon himself had by now grown weary of the stereotypes and artistic trappings of the revolution he'd helped galvanize. Feeling uninspired to write any new music in that vein, he abruptly announced Bathory's demise and spent the next two years compiling the Jubileum, Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and Vol. 3 collections. When his desire to compose finally did return, the music he came up with was so unlike anything ever released under the Bathory banner, that he chose to put out 1994's simply named Album under the Quorthon moniker instead. Filled with surprisingly straightforward alternative rock, the record nevertheless revitalized Quorthon's interest in heavy metal, and a new Bathory L.P, Requiem (released later that year), saw a return to the simple, brutal thrash metal of yesteryear. Subsequent Bathory efforts gradually upped the ante once again, as longer songs and more complex death, black, and even industrial metal elements were cautiously added to the mix for 1995's Octagon. In turn, 1996's ultra-doomy, Conan the Barbarian-inspired Blood on Ice marked a return to the Viking metal style, and offered a retooled collection of previously abandoned sessions from seven years earlier. But, besides proving that this epic style was back in his plans, the album's greatest reward may have lain in the extensive liner notes penned by Quorthon. These not only explained the long overdue album's release, but also revealed a significant amount of information about Bathory's until then very murky history — almost to the point of upsetting older fans' long-held theories and expectations of their hero, ironically enough. 1997's second Quorthon set, the double disc Purity of Essence, arrived next, and again served as a repository for non-Bathory-like ideas; and the third installment of the Jubileum 'best of' series arrived a year later to close yet another chapter, and signal another extended layoff. Inevitably, however, Quorthon resurrected Bathory once again in 2001; his new album Destroyer of Worlds inaugurating a new phase at first characterized by a more streamlined, rock-oriented approach, while striking a mature balance with the grand scope of works past. But those Viking inclinations were once again brought to the fore on the subsequent, twin-album project Nordland, part one of which was released in late 2002, and part two arriving in 2003. Unfortunately, this return to both the style and form of old glory would prove to be Bathory's swan song, when, with a number of as-yet-unreleased demos already under his belt, Thomas Forsberg — the living black metal legend known as Quorthon — was found dead in his Stockholm apartment on June 7, 2004, apparently a victim of heart failure. With his death, so dies Bathory, although there is no doubt that his career-long record label Black Mark (owned and operated by Quorthon's father) will eventually unveil any unreleased Bathory material which may still lie in their vaults.
