Mystery Bag Check In
By Kickntrue on 12/14/08
What did you get? Happy? Sad? Towel doesn't match your bag? Let us know what you got and what you think!
Send us pictures of you wearing the gear for extra credit.
Here's a look at some of the things that were in the bigger bags. We'd like to thank all of the great companies who donated to the bags and we look forward to an even better showing with bigger and better prizes next time. Please take the time to visit our sponsor sites and if you see something you want for Christmas but didn't win- treat yourself to it!
TaylorMade/Adidas- Some great items were sponsored by TaylorMade/Adidas including an Itsy Bitsy Spider putter (valued at $230), a Rossa Core Classic Lambeau Putter ($120) and a Rossa Core Classic Suzuka Putter ($120). TaylorMade also gave away 12 Burner TP Balls ($25), 12 TP Black Golf Balls ($40) and an Adidas ClimaProof Storm 3-Way Convertible Jacket ($275). Please visit TaylorMadeGolf.com for more details on any equipment they have to offer!
EIDOLON Golf- Our Resident Wedge Guy Terry Koehler of EIDOLON Golf was awesome enough to provide a couple wedges for a few lucky winners. Two individuals received one EIDOLON wedge ($120) while one lucky oober received a set of 3 EIDOLON wedges ($340). We continue to have a special deal with EIDOLON through oobgolf that allows for a discount on top of EIDLON's already awesome guarantee where they dare you to try their wedges. If you're not satisfied they'll ship yours back and buy you any comparable wedge on the market. Please visit here for more details on EIDOLON Golf and their special deal through oobgolf.com!
AlmostGolf- Earlier this year we reviewed AlmostGolf Practice Balls. We thought they were such a great practice ball we reached out to the company when we decided to run the Mystery Bag program. They were kind of enough to send out 24 packs of 10 ($10). They provide a unique value to your golf game off the course. I also know AlmostGolf is big on "urban golf" and using their soft practice balls in unique places you normally wouldn't golf. Please visit AlmostGolf.com for more details on the practice balls and their unique way to practice and event invent a new sport within golf!
Tee Time Golf Pass- If you live in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, Ohio or Virginia you should have a Tee Time Golf Pass. Now at least two more of you do ($55). Use the book to save between $10-$40 every time you tee it up at over 450 courses throughout the northeast. In a lot of cases you will pay for the value of the book in just 2 or 3 rounds. Get your 2009 pass at TeeTimeGolfPass.com.
Chip Chic Golf- We first noticed Chip Chic Golf back in October. This Canadian company combines golf and fashion with their own unique approach to golf accessories including shoe bags and an awesome lawn clutch. Chip Chic provided 3 shoe bags ($75) including a new design not even available yet. While a little more feminine than some of our other prizes it's hard to deny the touch of class the Chip Chic bags brought the to the Mystery Bags. Learn more about the creative Canadian company (sorry- couldn't avoid the alliteration) at ChipChicGolf.com. If nothing else visit because Canandians are awesome and the site features almost naked ladies holding artificial turf bags over their bodies.
A Special Thank You is also due to Rocky Spring Golf Course, in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania. John McDowell who runs the course was awesome enough to provide us a resource to buy gear for the Mystery Bags at cost. John also donated a couple items from his pro shop to the cause including a Callaway Golf Watch valued at over $100. Quite frankly, Rocky Spring GC is never going to be confused with Bethpage Black, but if you're ever in south central Pennsylvania and in the mood for a cheap round of golf stop by and give John a shout.
Other items received in Mystery Bags (but not necessarily sponsored) included: Callaway Golf Watches ($100-$130), G.R.I.P wedges ($100), Tour Tempo ($100), Nike Backpack ($75), Nike Sunday Bag ($50), Mizuno Golf Gloves ($18) and TopFlite Gamer Balls ($30).

I got a golf towel but didn't receiver a shirt. I thought the shirt came standard with it?
klangdon says:
we only asked shirt size for if we did pack a shirt, but it was not standard for every bag.
greenhat1981 says:
i got an oobgolf hat and some tees in bag #1, still waiting for bag #2 to show up!
possingk says:
i got a black oobgolf hat and some tees, I love the hat, thanks for doing this guys.

First bag I got a green oobgolf hat. But go figure, I already have a green oobgolf hat. So thats a stocking stuffer for someone else. Can't wait for the second bag!
munk24 says:
Got a green hat and some tees in one bag, and a red hat in the other, my son gets one of those, of course I just learned he bought his own bag so i hope he gets something different than a hat, thanks its a cool idea
Ben Crane says:
I haven't received either of my bags yet. However, let me voice my displeasure that Flair Hair was not included in this promotion. Had I known this prior, I may have only ordered 1 bag.
Eric Duquene says:
I just this minute received all 3 of my bags. Got a oobgolf tshirt (be sporting that once it gets warmer), an oobgolf towel and tees (to be added to the 4 towels I already have hanging from my bag), and an oobgolf hat and tees (conotemplating giving this one away as I just got a white fitted PING G10 hat to match my driver). Thanks oobgolf. Love the site.
I think the next one should be around my birthday... mid February *hint hint nudge nudge wink wink*
jerdman says:
YES! a t-shirt. Red looks sharp
yomonk1 says:
Nice t-shirt!! Really need to work on a snazzier logo for the shirt so it will stand out more. Next time, I'm jockying for the wedges!!!
Jattruia says:
Got my first bag...in a nice long box! Three G.R.I.P test wedges. They look good, can't wait to use them. Thanks!
Ben Crane says:
I got both of my bags today. A nice shirt in the one with oobgolf tees and a blue oobgolf hat with tees in the other. Placed an order for the Eidlon wedges I was hoping to get.
golfdude528 says:

Icymint says:
Thanks a lot Andrew and Kevin. My package came today with a 12 pack of Gamer balls with the OOBgolf logo and some tees. To tell you the truth I would have gladly given the 10 bucks for nothing. You guys do a fantastic job and I am grateful.
Kickntrue says:
Zeke!!! Digging the new picture!
tayl0124 says:
Got a White oob golf hat and zero friction tee's. Will not use either of them. A white hat?? Are you kidding?? I don't like these tee's either because after a few holes the ball has a hard time staying on them. But oh well. Better luck next time.
sindigo says:
shoot...send me your tees. I love those things. Sure, putting the ball on the tee may be a bit of a sobriety test but that's ok. :-) And what's wrong with a white hat?
I got a sleeve of Gamers, 5 cool tees, an Oobgolf hat, a bottle opener/divot tool, and a swing tempo aid. I'm happy with my swag. THANKS!!!
OrlandoGolfBlogger says:
I got home from work, feeling like a kid coming downstairs on Christmas morning! Burst through the door and what awaited me? Two lovely packages, one long slender triangle containing three Eidolon wedges! 52, 56, 60, drool, oh, I think one of the packers was sampling the goods, there's a couple of gently used scuff marks on the face of the 56! ha, not that I'm complaining too much. The other bag, had a sklz therma grip, gorilla gold grip enhancer, a sleeve of my favorite gamer balls and some tees! Thanks guys!! You totally made my Christmas. Oh, who did you use to get your logo on the golf balls?
komega19 says:

rob.urban says:

komega19 says:
Just think of the "Gross Profit Projection" if this was held twice a year? Hell Quartely? Monthly?
I can see it now.... especially in a down economy, venders would be creaming themselves to get product in the hands of consumers, and not having to pay for advertising.....Get on it, boys!
Lexus Keoninh says:
thanks for the t-shirts!!! loved them!
turk944 says:
got a red oobgolf had and some no friction tees. Now I just have to wait until April for all this snow to melt

Nobody jealous of the golf cart, OK, it was a towel, but one hell of a nice towel. The tee shirt is Olive Drab in color, I can use it to go deer hunting, maybe next year some camo tee shirts?
mjhiggins1 says:
I had ordered two bags and received one yesterday. It had a red hat and no tees. How come everybody else got tees with theirs? Hopefully the second one will make up for it.

I got a red tee shirt with the oob logo and some zero friction tee's; in fact, I'm wearing it now :) looking forward to the next round.
gsturrock says:
Ordered two bags and got about $10 worth of stuff. However, I do like the zero friction tees.
hansenaaron says:
I love t-shirts and have a pretty nice collection. The olive green t-shirt may not be as cool as a wedge, but I am very pleased. I will wear it with pride (once it isn't under 0 degrees outside).
owenhyne says:
I ordered three bags: 2 hats and 1 t-shirt. Thanks a ton oob! By the way, I think that the mystery bags were a pretty good value for only $10. I'll do this again next year!

The StrahovMature
It felt awfully uneasy to be back in Prague. The memories I had of this place were truly awful.
Everything I had seen and done haunted me still. I forced my eyes shut, flinching a little. Completely composed, and with a comforting embrace from Kurtis, we ventured on.
"I know how you feel Lara; the events that unfolded here all those years ago haunt me still too."
The Strahov Fortress stood proudly in the middle distance, and my stomach flipped. Confronting the past, no matter how often one did, never became any easier. I became aware of my footsteps on the hard ground, and Kurtis' nervous breathing. The towers of the Fortress stared down menacingly. I felt increasingly nervous, and sweat beaded in all imaginable areas. I quickly withdrew my pistols; they offered a morsel of comfort. Kurtis braced himself, and the Chirugai loosened itself from its belt, and hovered just above his head, an orange trail oozing wherever it went. We crept stealthily, panting at every corner, practically pulsating with nerves. Suddenly, heavy footsteps echoed from one of the corridors, but then died away. Every step was like a mission. I held my pistols directly in front of me, my finger prepared to squeeze if the moment arose. The Strahov was vast, and its corridors winded continuously like a ball of confused wool.
I hugged the wall, peering gingerly round every bend. Tension seeped from the bricks. I glanced round one corner, and I stifled my urge to scream.
I was spotted, blast!
A firm squeeze came as a reflex, and after a short chest spasm and a small groan, the guard fell to the floor. We both began to run, there was no more chance of stealth now. A room packed with guards greeted us. I shot uncontrollably, bodies falling like dominoes. The Chirugai swept round at huge speed, slicing off multiple limbs and heads at any given moment. It was utter carnage.
After fleeing the scene, Kurtis and I clambered into the air vent system. The clatter of our footsteps caused a tinny sound to ring throughout the metal passages. We peered through every vent, trying to find the man who had called for help. Finally we found a room where all the hooded men were gathered. They were seated at a table, with Karel at its head.
He hadn't aged a day in eight years.
A pair of eyes I recognised met mine. The man, realising who I was, signaled at us to be quiet.
"Master Karel, would you excuse me for one moment?"
"Certainly, Mohammed."
The man made his way through the beautiful library where they were assembled. The ceiling was decorated with vast paintings and curled, ornate patterns, fashioned in marble. There was an uncountable collection of books, and pure oak furniture. My thoughts were interrupted by fresh footsteps.
Mohammed came to greet us.
"Thank you, Mrs Croft. You must be Mr Trent? I have heard much about you from the
"Yes, I am. Now, how can we assist you?"
"By holding still."
He withdrew two needles from his jacket. I wanted to run, but he had me stuck by an uncontrollable force. Kurtis too, was frozen. He injected the fluid, and we slowly began to black out. Why had I let myself still trust in humans as a race? It only ever got me into trouble.
That lying, double-crossing bastard.

Pay due importance to varying economy mixed with color for this coffee beans when are generally roasting the beans. Once the smell of roasted coffee, it are easier for every man to understand ought to stop the heating activity.
In September, after being ridiculed by critics for touting Naturewise Green Coffee Bean Extract Coffee bean extract as a "miracle" product, Dr. Oz conducted their own trials along at the supplement. Using 100 women, Oz said he found women who took the extract lost an average of two pounds by 50 % weeks. Women who took a placebo lost an average of one pound during those two weeks.
Chlorogenic acid has drugs. Not only would it help to remove inches while using the waistline, rrt's going to also improve cholesterol, blood lipids, and insulin tact. On top of these great many are also immune system advantages. Chlorogenic acid is an antioxidant. It fights molecular damage, making an effort to boost immune function and supporting health and wellness.
The good the discovery of coffee is rife with supposition. It's transition from food to beverage is every bit as open to interpretation and historical distinctions. Early European explorers and botanists thought that Ethiopians chewed raw pinto and black beans for energy after finding their grazing goats eating the coffee berry. They would pound the ripened coffee berries and mix them with animal fat so they became pasty round pellets. The power of coffee, fat, and protein became a major source of one's and sustenance, especially during lean times or during war. The coffee cherries were also likely eaten raw because the pulp is sweet and includes added utilise caffeine.
The extract, made with chlorogenic acid, is converted to a capsule form before available to end users. But it doesn't come cheap. A month's supply can cost up to fifty greenbacks.

It slow down glucose release in body and makes you lose extra pounds. It also reduces fat absorption which enable you shed pounds faster. This suppresses appetite and enables you to be eat fewer calories that automatically effect weight losses. It converts carbohydrates into fat and burn calories faster.
As an over-all rule, the darker you roast the less original flavors will retained typically the beans. Chili vary in flavors and aromas as outlined by their countries of beginning. Lighter roasted beans will preserve more from the original flavors than those roasted a few darker level since the roasting process extracts the interior oils and develop the flavors for the beans.

1. Define challenges
For refugee children, a shot at a better tomorrow
For refugee children, going to school every day is sometimes the only snippet of normalcy in a world of turmoil. In the eyes of their communities, the opportunities afforded through education are priceless.
But in refugee settlements like Mpanda and Mishamo in rural Tanzania, even going to school was no guarantee of a better future. Plenty of children in this country finish primary school unable to read; 43 percent of all Tanzanian fifth graders cannot pass a basic Swahili test.
The disappointing numbers make sense: In many Tanzanian schools, there are so few textbooks that the only person to see one is the teacher. And in refugee situations the problems are only magnified; classrooms are routinely packed with up to 70 students to every teacher, and educators who step up to help are often undertrained and completely under-resourced.
With children comprising almost half the world's refugees, UNHCR is committed to giving them not just protection and care today, but a shot at a better tomorrow. Part of that is making sure that children improve their literacy by actually getting to read.
So we teamed up with UNHCR's Education Unit to find a way to improve children's reading even where books are rare, and set them up for the futures they deserve.
2. Identify solutions
e-Readers as a means to improving literacy skills
Together with the Education Unit, our Learn Lab looked for fresh ideas about the best ways to empower refugees and their children with educational opportunities and improve literacy.
With clear interest from refugee communities in using Information Communication Technologies (ICT), the Education Unit partnered with global not-for-profit Worldreader, whose mission is to use mobile technology to give millions of students in sub-Saharan Africa access to books.
Collaborating as partners, our Learn Lab, the Education Unit, and World Reader developed an idea on how to cost effectively get large quantities of books to refugee children in schools that often had none. We would go digital.
Low-cost e-readers and tablets are able to store thousands of digital books and texts, and titles are available across multiple languages and reading levels. They have a long battery life, are lighter than a paperback, and the simplest devices feature a high-contrast monitor that's easy to read even in bright sunlight. They're also not too expensive: the average Amazon Kindle, for example, costs less than $100.
E-readers appeared to be the clear solution for filling refugee children's major need for books.
3. Test solutions
Technology in the classroom
But how would students and teachers respond to the new technology? Would kids find the content interesting? Could teachers master e-readers in their classrooms?
We decided to test it out by sending e-readers — some with 3G and others with wifi capabilities—to refugee children in Tanzania.
They pre-loaded the e-readers with a wealth of international and local e-books, including storybooks and textbooks the pupils needed for school.
To make sure the devices were durable enough to last through plenty of rough motorbike rides and even the occasional goat's nibble, they came encased in a rugged shell. And they came with lights to encourage kids to read even after school and chores.
Even more, Tanzanians in refugee settlements and the surrounding communities got access to the Worldreader Mobile service, which allowed them to read anything they wanted from a library of African and international books on technology they already had at their fingertips: their cell phones.
Worldreader helped our Learn Lab and the Education Unit to provide teachers with several days of hands-on training on using the digital resources to make sure they were successfully integrated into refugee schools.
Then, staff watched eagerly as the young refugees and their schoolmates and teachers used the e-readers.
In the hands of the young students, the technology made a big difference.
Young refugee students and their classmates in Tanzania were reportedly more cheerful when using the readers. The anecdotal evidence matched findings from previous pilots launched by Worldreader, which found that children who received e-readers in Ghana showed increased enthusiasm towards reading, and improved their technological skills. They even had improved performance on standardized tests in reading, writing and English proficiency.
Teachers and students both learned to use the technology quickly, although as expected, the young people truly led the way.
Learning opportunities were even extended to the community in some locations, when parents, siblings and supporters were invited to participating schools to use the e-readers themselves.
4. Refine solutions
Going local
Without question, the e-readers were a huge hit. But there was room for improvement.
In some schools, using English for the instructions proved problematic for students who used Swahili in the classroom.
Recognizing a greater need for local texts, the Education Unit is now working with Worldreader to host a writing competition to digitize some of the stories that students and community members write themselves—promoting creativity and capturing East Africa's active storytelling culture.
It is also expanding the number of e-books available for free through Worldreader Mobile. There are now more than 2,300 titles available to anyone with a basic phone and a 2G connection.
5. Scale solutions
Solar-powered e-readers?
Meanwhile, our Learn Lab continues to work with the Education Unit to test the e-reader solution, and is looking at adding partners who are interested in taking the technology to scale as content partners.
We are also exploring options for including solar charging capabilities in the kits to avoid reliance on electricity. It's in resource-scarce areas with challenges like this that technology like digital books can make a huge impact.
With the help of our Learn Lab, the Education Unit and Worldreader hope to scale up efforts in the near future. Nearly all the classrooms that tested the e-readers reported that they did not have enough to serve all the children in their schools.

nginx_upstream_jvm_routeThis module achieves session stickiness with the session cookie. If the session is not in the cookie or URL, the module will be a normal Round-Robin upstream module.

jvm_route $cookie_JSESSIONID reverse;
3. A simple jave test page
syntax: jvm_route $cookie_COOKIE[|session_url] [reverse]
default: none
context: upstream
'$cookie_SESSION_COOKIE' specifies the session cookie name(0.7.24+). 'session_url' specifies a different session name in the URL when the client does not accept a cookie. The session name is case-insensitive. In this module, if it does not find the session_url, it will use the session cookie name instead. So if the session name in cookie is the name with its in URL, you don't need give the session_url name.
With scanning this cookie, the module will send the request to right backend server. As far as I know, the resin's srun_id name is in the head of cookie. For example, requests with cookie value 'a***' are always sent to the server with the srun_id of 'a'. But tomcat's JSESSIONID is opposite, which is like '***.a'. The parameter of 'reverse' specifies the cookie scanned from tail to head.
If the request fails to be sent to the chosen backend server, It will try another server with the Round-Robin mode until all the upstream servers tried. The directive proxy_next_upstream can specify in what cases the request will be transmitted to the next server. If you want to force the session sticky, you can set 'proxy_next_upstream off'.
Every syntax is the same with the official directive except the parameter of 'srun_id' which identified the backend JVM's name by cookie. The default srun_id's value is 'a';
NOTEThis is a third-party module. And you need careful test before using this module in your production environment.

It is quite true that none of these routines currently support prediction. Perhaps the most sensible thing would be to incorporate predicted values, from which residuals could be generated. I have a RATS routine on SSC that will generate out-of-sample (ex ante) forecasts for a (0,d,0) model that could readily be translated into Stata; but the nature of the fractionally differenced model is such that it is hard to construct in-sample forecasts unless you have a goodly amount of presample data. If you estimate d from a sample of size T, I don't know how to generate T predicted values. If you want to forecast that series for an additional tau observations (and, if they are historical, generate realised forecast errors), no problem. Let me know if this would be useful.This poster's question regarding the Robinson test leads to another. As far as I can tell, the various routines for estimating the fractional root in time series using Stata (there are several - lomodrs, gphudak, modlpr, roblpr) do not permit one to predict residuals after estimating the root. It would be useful to be able to do so, so that the residuals can be modeled. Has anyone written code to permit this?

I had lunch with Hitler
No one would suspect it was she.
We met in Boston on a spiritual retreat.
In her sweet Tennessee drawl, straight sandy hair,
melting chocolate eyes, gentle bird of a body.
Her name was Jessica, her last name America,
her drawling darling demeanor far from
the barbed Nazi Germany salutes.
In her heart, no hatred harbored of the Jews.
We sit and eat our green peas,
and talk about love and being kind to everybody.
"He was my great grandfather" she says, as if it's the next best thing,
and I nodded through a mouth full of food.
Me, a west-coast girl from British Columbia,
miles of years between the Third Reich and I,
I smile, and share her acceptance.
"Rommel was my great, great uncle."

Herald-Zeitung photos by MICHAEL DARNALL Pepper spray attack suspected Saturday night incident at Wal-Mart sent 17 to hospital By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Wal-Mart employees and customers may have been victims of vandalism Saturday night. Seventeen people went to McKenna Memorial hospital, McKenna spokesman Tim Brierty said. One stayed overnight for treatment. The others were treated and released. Eleven employees and six customers were affected, Wal-Mart employee Dolores Bustos said. New Braunfels Fire Department and Police Department officials responded to the call from the Wal-Mart at Walnut and Interstate 35 at about 9:30 p.m. Saturday. Employees in the check-out area complained of difficulty breathing and burning eyes. They were taken to the hospital and the store was closed for the night. A freon leak in the air conditioning system was first suspected to be the cause of the symptoms. Blood gas tests run at McKenna were inconclusive, Brierty said. Some Wal-Mart employees now believe a vandal was responsible for the incident "Someone had gotten pepper spray that we sell in the store and sprayed it in the fait just to be mean," Bustos said. Employees said similar incidents have happened at other Wal-Mart stores, according to Bustos. At press time Wal-Mart officials in Bentonville, Ark., neither confirmed nor denied that any incidents have occurred at other Wal-Mart locations. New Braunfels Fire Department officials have determined that a freon leak was definitely not responsible for the Saturday night injuries, Assistant Chief Elroy Friesenhahn said. What substance caused the symptoms has not yet been determined; pepper spray has not yet been ruled out, he said. The Fire Department is unaware of any similar incidents at other locations, officials said. Rumors swirl that retaliation planned for park shooting By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Herald-Zeitung names new managing editor The New Braunfels Herald-Zeitung welcomed Doug Loveday Monday as the newspaper's new managing editor. Loveday, 32, comes to New Braunfels from Angleton, in Brazoria County, where he worked as managing editor of The Angleton Times, a sister paper of the Herald-Zeitung. Both publications are owned by Southern Newspapers, Inc. "I'm excited that we were able to attract someone of Doug's caliber, both as a professional ?nd as a person," said David Sullens, publisher of the Herald-Zeitung. "I hope as many people as possible will take the opportunity to meet Doug within the near future. I'm sure anyone who does will quickly be as impressed with him as I am," Sullens said. Loveday received his Bachelor of Journalism degree in 1985 from the University of Texas at Austin. He has worked as a sports Loveday editor at the Wise County Messenger in Decatur and at the Echo-News in Alice. He was also a general news reporter with the Galveston County Daily News, anoth er Southern Newspapers, Inc. publication. Loveday's wife, Holley, is a school teacher at Bellaire Christian Academy near Houston and will be joining him in New Braunfels at the end of the school year. "We're both very excited about the move to New Braunfels, and I look forward to working with all segments of the local community as managing editor of the Herald-Zeitung," Loveday said. "This is your paper—your local forum—and I hope everyone will feel welcome to stop by and share their community news and ideas with us. A shooting Sunday, April 2 in Landa Park, and a second shooting hours later on Katy Street shocked New Braunfels residents. Both involved juveniles and police fear gangs played a part in the crimes. Rumors are beginning to circulate that a retaliatory gang attack is being planned for Easter weekend in Landa Park. The same rumors have been heard by police officials. "We're trying to establish whether there is any fact in those rumors," a police spokesman said. Whether the rumors are truth or fiction has not been determined, he said. "With that in mind, we will still take appropriate steps to prevent a further incident," Ire said. Some have noticed an increased police presence in the park. The regular spring police presence in Landa Park has started a week earlier than usual, the police spokesman said. "Regular patrol officers may also have driven through more often in light of the recent incidents," he said. The first April 2 mooting occurred at about 7:15 Sunday evening. One youth drove in a pickup truck to two other youths near the Fredericksburg exit of the park. The three argued, then the youth in the truck pulled out a small pistol and shot the other two, police said. The juvenile was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Police were called to a second shooting at 1208 Katy at about 9:40 p.m. A youth shot Alonso Serna with a large caliber pistol, police sources said. Serna had half opened the screen door to his house and he was partly standing on the porch. The bullet passed through him but he escaped serious injury. Allegedly, the youth was across the street from Sema's house and fired the pistol. He fled the scene in a vehicle waiting nearby, police said. Police are still investigating the possibility that the second shooting was in retaliation to the first. Leaders talk about issues with J assistant to Phil Gramm By SUSAN FUNT ENGLAND * Staff Writer New Braunfels leaders talked issues Friday with Bill Christian, assistant to Senator Phil Gramm. Christian specializes in four areas: defense, transportation, space and borders. Some ofthe questions posed him felt within his areas of expertise. "On the state level we're concerned that an alternate super-highway would supersede work oft our own section of 1-35 "Chamber President Tom Purdum said. ; "Once we pass the national highway system that automatically gives 1-35 priority for funds," Christian said. Comal County Judge Carter Casteel brought up the issue of the Endangered Species Act and how it has been used here to protect local water supplies. "The Endangered Species Act is important to Comal County," she said, "lf the springs go dry people all the way down to Port Lavaca will be affected- If it were not for ESA, San Antonio would probably suck dry the Comal Springs," she said. Christian said that Gramm is aware of the water situation, and that he would try to divorce the Endangered Species Act from water issues as much as possible. Purdum suggested that Gramm could help support San Antonio leaders who want to develop and alternate water source. City council debates Sunbelt contract By SUSAN FLYNT ENGLAND Staff Writer Debate sparked about whether the city should demand the nght to run environmental tests at the Sunbelt cement plant during the second reading of an ordinance creating a contract between Sunbelt and the city of New Braunfels. The contract would require that Sunbelt not bum toxic fuels in the plant. Paul Pennington of SAFE. (Securing a Future Environment) argued that the contract should include the right to conduct unscheduled tests at the plant at least twice a year. These tests would aim to prove whether Sunbelt was abiding by the contract and not using toxic fuels. "Things can happen when large sums of money are involved," Pennington said. "I agree with Ronald Reagan; 'trust but verify.'" The government conducts standard tests at a cement plant to make sure it is operating under the guidelines of its license, Sunbelt officials said. Under the proposed contract with New Braunfels, Sunbelt would not be licensed to bum toxic fuels, and the govem-men| would test to ensure the plant's com pliance, they said. The government tests are scheduled well in advance, Pennington said, giving a plant the opportunity to prepare for the testing. Pennington and Sunbelt agreed that Pennington's group could submit a testing proposal to the city. The city manager and city attorney would then negotiate with Sunbelt regarding the proposal before the third reading of the ordinance. Each city council member voted "yes" in the second reading except Councilwoman Mary Serold and Mayor Pro-Tern Chris Bowers, who was absent. "My no vote is like a caution light," Serold said. "We need to stay ever cautious and ever vigilant." At Monday's meeting, residents also questioned the legality of the charter amendments appearing on the May 6 ballot. Was the amendments' three-year-term mayor elected by a plurality vote against the state constitution, they said. The charter amendments follow the dictates of a federal order, which overrides the state constitution, City Attorney Jacqueline Cullom said. "In this matter we're going to be 'My no vol# is Ilks a caution light.' — Councilwoman Mary Serold trumped by federal regulations — it's that simple," Councilman Tim Walker said. "My legal prediction would be that if we don't change the charter we would be in danger of a lawsuit," Cullom said. In other business, the community development department presented the Consolidated Plan and Strategy (CPS) for its second public hearing. The plan names five priorities for spending Community Development Block Grants for the next five years. The CPS will be available for residents to read until Wednesday April 26 at 5 p.m. at the Dittlinger Memorial Library, Senior Citizen Center, New Braunfels Housing Authority, New Braunfels Utilities and the Municipal Building. The city council voted to sell a piece of land on Thompson Street to New Braunfels River Resort for $29,000. The firm plans to build a 54-suite hotel on the site.Call 625-9144 for information about subscriptions to the Herald-Zeitung I . ;

Xavier, Left Behind
"Last stop," the tanned bus driver with too much hair gel warns as the Grey Hound brakes in front of a huge, closed-off building.
I rub the sleep from my eyes and yawn widely, catching a glimpse of one of the old ladies out of the corner of my eye. She's frowning at my rudeness, but I just shrug and try not to wonder why someone would even live out here if they weren't going to the school. I shiver when I think of the school. Williams Lockwood Academy. My mouth even tastes rancid when I think about it.
Wiping the sweat off on the upholstered seat beneath me, I stand up slowly. By the time that I've gathered my things (a backpack and a large suitcase) the bus is ready to leave. I close the large luggage door on the side of the bus and it immediately drives off, as if afraid of the place that I am going to be for the rest of the year. God knows if I'll be staying here for the rest of my life.
When I was fifteen my younger brother died.
Alec was a good kid. He was only ten and he had such light hazel eyes that even other parents would stop and stare. You see, my family being all black makes it a little weird for one of us to have such light eyes. But Alec was special. From the moment he was born to the day that he died, you could feel a light emanating from him. Of course, when he drowned at our cottage, the light instantly left his little body.
For some odd reason, he was the yin to my yang. When he was alive, he'd run around laughing and asking questions, like any other little kid and I was always an obedient kid, but when he died I became rebellious by skipping classes and cursing at my parents.
But I'm not the only one putting guilt on myself. My parents have it in their minds that I could have saved him, even though I was inside the cottage making a sandwich when Alec swam out on his own. We still wonder why he did that since he knew that he wasn't allowed in the water alone. But the point is that they blame me. Though, like I already said, me saving him would have been impossible.
Getting a good grip on my suitcase, I turn and glare at the large building in front of me. My parents didn't even have the guts to bring me, they just sent me on the bus with a whisper of a goodbye and two forced hugs. Alec should have never gone into that water alone, at least if he hadn't I wouldn't be in this mess now.
An old Toyota drives up a few feet away from me and a guy around my age, seventeen, steps out of the car. Unlike me, he isn't scowling. But also unlike me, he looks sadly back at his mom, who is quietly saying something to him. He closes the door angrily and roughly grabs his stuff from the trunk. His mom is staring straight ahead and from the expression on her face, I can tell that she is willing herself not to cry. The blond guy gives her a lingering look before turning his back to the car as his mom drives away.
I can already see that I'm not the only one with problems.

Signature spammer (was: MAC operating system)
We have this 6 year old Mac computer with the current operating system believed to be Mac OSX 10.4 and since automatic updates have loaded, certain applications have failed to work ( such as Flashplayer, I Tunes and graphics applications ). This has caused a pop up stating that the system needs now to run OSX 10.5 or greater. Can anyone please confirm whether this operating system has to be purchased as a stand alone program or can I buy/download an upgrade to fix this?
The current version of Mac OS X is 10.6 ("Snow Leopard"), it can be purchased from the Apple Store:
There doesn't appear to be an upgrade version, but at $29 the full version is pretty cheap.
But... if your Mac is 6 years old it may not run 10.6 as it requires an Intel CPU (afaik see Apple menu -> About my Mac for CPU info).
Version 10.5 ("Leopard") will run on Macs with G4/G5 CPUs, but I'm not sure where you could buy that these days. Maybe eBay?
Also unfortunately only 10.6 is cheap - 10.5 was still the old price (~$100 or something like that).
If you still have a G3 based Mac then you're stuck -- 10.4 is the latest version that will run on such an old Mac.
Edit: moved to right forum.
From the looks of it, you can only upgrade to 10.5 since you have a PowerPC processor and Snow Leopard is Intel only. Since most recent applications like Photoshop CS5, Office 2011, AutoCad, iLife '11, Firefox 4, Opera 11 requires you to have a Intel Processor to use their software, it maybe a better idea to get the new Intel Macs. In a few years, most software will be Intel only and it cannot run on PowerPC.
10.6 will not work for Power PC... I hate to say it. but your Mac has hit the end of the line.
.....There seem to be an serious case of spambot infestation around here. Could the admin take note ?
In anycase, I don't expect to see the OP keeping tabs on this thread.
The signature was most definitely not there before, or I would have noticed it and taken care of it myself. Also the registration date is quite a while in the past, which is another reason this account wasn't recognized as a spam account (most spammers aren't that patient).
Of course what all spammers don't seem to understand is that we have a small plugin installed that will add rel="nofollow" to all user generated links. Which means that even if nobody notices the spammer they won't be able to profit from it.

The first races at Interlagos were held in 1936 when the top Alfa Romeo drivers Carlo Pintacuda and Attilio Marioni travelled to Brazil from Europe. Then, in the immediate post-war period, European drivers came out for a series of sportscar races at Interlagos and at the Gavea circuit in Rio de Janeiro.
Meanwhile a journalist called Wilson Fittipaldi and his wife Juzy took part in endurance events on the Sao Paulo track with a Mercedes saloon car. Their youngest son, Emerson, attended one of these events at the age of eight and later went on to race in Europe, blazing a trail which led to the world title in 1972 and 1974.
Fittipaldi's emergence was the catalyst for change, with pressure building up for a proper formula one race at Interlagos. The first was a non-championship event in 1962, unpopularly won by Argentina's Carlos Reutemann in a Brabham after Fittipaldi's Lotus spun off with broken suspension. But Fittipaldi's world title in 1972 added to the impetus for a full-blown grand prix, which duly took place the following year.
For the 1978 grand prix, formula one moved off to the more glamorous Rio de Janeiro circuit of Jacarepagua, but it returned to Interlagos in 1979. Times had changed: ground-effect aerodynamics had arrived in formula one and the bumps of the Sao Paulo track were magnified by the downforce. That day the French Ligier squad scored a memorable victory, with the cars of Jacques Laffite and Patrick Depailler riding the bumps better than the rest to finish first and second.
Eventually Interlagos was seen as too rundown and there was no surprise when in 1981 formula one took itself off to Nelson Piquet's adopted home town of Rio, where it stayed until 1990. It was only when Piquet's career was declining and Ayrton Senna - a Paulista - had become the emergent force in formula one that an attempt was made to take the Brazilian grand prix back to Sao Paulo.
A new mayor, Luiza Erundina, began talking to Bernie Ecclestone and the city committed to a $15m rebuilding programme. The work began late in 1989 and continued night and day through the winter in order to have everything finished in time for the race. It looked as though it would be an overwhelming task but in 84 days all the work was completed and the race went ahead in March 1990.
Unfortunately the race was won by Senna's great rival Alain Prost in a Ferrari, but Senna made up for it by winning for McLaren in 1991 and '93. After the Brazilian's death in Imola in 1994 interest waned, although another local, Rubens Barrichello, did his best to get the crowds excited again. But Felipe Massa's win last year ensured that Interlagos continued to have the fans queuing in the streets, a state of affairs guaranteed to continue now that he has signed to stay with Ferrari for another three years.
It is also possible that the circuit's ramshackle pit and paddock facilities are set for a long overdue upgrade. Ecclestone is here this weekend and is in the throes of negotiating a possible contract extension for the race until 2014. As part of the deal the pits and control tower would be demolished and replaced with a contemporary, state-of-the-art facility in line with the new generation of circuits springing up in the Gulf, Asia and the Pacific Rim.

Who can help me? Surgery or laser? (photos)
I have a big brown birthmark on my forehead and I really want to get rid of it ...what should I try surgery or should I remove it with laser?i'm so confused because The doctors I have been to told me to do laser and those from the laser center told me that surgery will be a better option
Doctor Answers 3
Difficult birthmark. Surgery vs lasers
Lasers do poorly for this type of birthmark. Another method is multiple sessions of fractional CO2 laser- there is a paper by Dr Michael Freeman who has demonstrated improvement with > 12 sessions. Pico lasers may help lighten, but not by much. Agree with Dr Emers R20 method. Surgery will be tricky- any comments regarding tissue expanders and serial excision from our Plastics team?Staged excision maybe possible, but I will leave this for Plastics to comment on. All the best, Dr Davin Lim Laser DermatologistBrisbane, Australia.

There is no way to remove this surgically without significant scarring. Plus this type of birth mark should be followed to ensure no change to skin cancer. With that said, tattoo lasers specifically pico lasers or ultrapulsed q switched lasers with R20 method do best for removal. They likely will not "cure" this but will give improvement. they may need to be combined with fractional or fully ablative co2. Please see a laser fellowship trained physician as this type of congenital mole is very challenging to treat and needs an expert. Best, Dr. Emer.
Tough birthmark to remove
I would absolutely not do surgery for a birthmark that size unless laser options have been exhausted. Your best bet is to use a q switch laser several times first to see what improvement you can get. If the mark has been growing you should look into a biopsy

By Mooky Blaylock
Saturday night and the city is surely buzzing
I on the other hand, am not
Well, Not as yet
Instead I'm slapping out words on an old typewriter
In the Dark
Armed with sleep depravity and a dirty glass of scotch
But why in the dark
you may ask
And to this I shall say
Due to the lack of funds
That usually support my bills
To this humble abode of fuck and writing
This might, or might not,
have something to do with it
Now I'm sitting here afloat in dangerous mix
of smug sarcasm and silence
Nothing but the tack tack tack
of each letter smacking the living shit out of that page
It cracks through the absence of sound and space
How superiorly pathetic can a situation get?
I wanted to listen to old jazz records
But now instead... I try to forget
And in return remember the forgotten
How raw is our dependency on Edison's contribution?
How dependent have we become on our comfort?
So that's why I'm not there
You know? Out there
Cause I rather prefer this
In here
Between these walls
Even with the sound of one of that fat bastards TV shows
that muffles through the walls
and destroys my train of thought almost deliberately
I still belong here
It's just you and me old man
Me..... and you
Now the room is floating
Buzzing like the city with it's self-destructive crest
A heart that pounds through my chest
And I see her face before me
In a vague blurry mess
Why after so long does it haunt me tonight?
The anguish in the pit of my stomach
whirls and splashes through alcohol themed acidic waves
and typing strokes becomes hard and tight
Might it be that this is what sadness feels like?
Might I have been this emotionally numb all this time?
And in doing so lost track of time?
Dare I say I miss you?
I might even be willing,
to throw that poisons L word into the mix
That one you like so much
But don't feel threaten
You needn't bother
For I shall no longer think this way
As I understand the impact of sin in pain
Thou shalt not covet another mans wife
Less a mother of two
At least this much respect I do have for you
And therefore I shall honor our unspoken truce of elusion
even in eluding thought itself
Farewell my dear of 10 years past
And be bathed in love unsurpassed

Bringing dark data into the light : a case study of the recovery of Northwestern Atlantic zooplankton data collected in the 1970s and 1980s

KeywordData rescue; Zooplankton biomass; Zooplankton species abundance; Dark data; North Atlantic Gulf Stream Rings
Data generated as a result of publicly funded research in the USA and other countries are now required to be available in public data repositories. However, many scientific data over the past 50+ years were collected at a time when the technology for curation, storage, and dissemination were primitive or non-existent and consequently many of these datasets are not available publicly. These so-called "dark data" sets are essential to the understanding of how the ocean has changed chemically and biologically in response to the documented shifts in temperature and salinity (aka climate change). An effort is underway to bring into the light, dark data about zooplankton collected in the 1970s and 1980s as part of the cold-core and warm-core rings multidisciplinary programs and other related projects. Zooplankton biomass and euphausiid species abundance from 306 tows and related environmental data including many depth specific tows taken on 34 research cruises in the Northwest Atlantic are online and accessible from the Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office (BCO-DMO).

Vurdering av denne eiendommen
Great place to stay on a budget. Very central to the sights of the city centre. Robert was a great host - there if you needed him, otherwise invisible. Although we shared a kitchen and bathroom, you barely knew he also lived in the apartment. The apartment, including the bedroom, is basic, but certainly adequate if you don't want to spend a lot of money. I would be happy to stay there again.
All was perfect. For sure, we will return back to Robert if we go back to Denmark (we hope that!) Robert was very nice with us, he let us use the room as good seems to us, we also make a little bed for our daughter. We could use kitchen and bathroom at any time of day. Thanks you again Robert, hope to see you.
Nicolas, Marie and Leila
The place happened to be perfectly safe, quiet and well situated.
As for Robert, he showed me the flat when I arrived and after that we could scarcely meet, probably for the short duration of my stay in Copenhagen.
Un point de chute sûr, tranquille et bien situé.
Un accueil allant à l'essentiel: mise à disposition des commodités, remise des clés. Peu ou pas d'échanges, sans doute du fait de la courte durée de mon séjour.
The location is close to the centre and there are some really nice restaurants and bars just round the corner. The room was nothing special but absolutely acceptable. Apart from that we were a bit disappointed that Robert, in our first night, invited friends over to his place without telling us before. That was a pity because we couldnt sleep until 2 am. For the remaining time we rarely saw him.
This was a great place to stay in Copenhagen! The bed was very comfortable and we had everything we needed to cook meals in the kitchen. The location of this apartment was also very nice. Robert was a great host. He was very friendly and easy-going!
I was in Copenhagn with my boyfriend for 4 days and we both were totally pleased to stay at Roberts home. Robert is a nice Person and he made us feel home.
We would love to come back any time.
Great place to stay!
Located centrally, you can reach everything by foot - not only the inner-city but also exciting Norrebro!
Nice room with window to the backyard. Internet and TV. Clean kitchen, no problem to use the fridge or any of the things.
And last but not least: Robert is a very nice host, too :-)

Don't carry your social security card!
If you have your social security number on your driver's license, go to the Department of Motor Vehicle and have it removed. There is a small fee.
Don't carry your health insurance card unless you need it for that particular day!.
Don't carry your check book. Carry only the checks you know you will write that day!
Don't carry any cards with your social security number on them such as; military dependent card, Medicare card, etc. Take them out of your "hiding place", only when you will use them that day.
Carry only one credit card and one debit card on your person!
Pick up your mail promptly!
Don't put bills with checks in your mail box! Use the blue U.S. Postal mail boxes.
Buy a cross cut shredder. Shred everything you receive in the mail after you are done with the document, this includes magazine labels or anything with a bar code!
If you receive any phone call or e-mail requesting any personal information, hang up the phone! Your account holders, banks, and credit card companies have this information and would never request it.
Don't give out any personal information to anyone through the internet, unless you initiate the contact!
Check your credit card and bank statements carefully for discrepancies, on line, daily, if possible. If reviewing written statements, shred them!
When ordering any product over the phone or internet, use your credit card, not your debit card. The debit card is your bank account!

All reader reviews by Woody
Sweet Basil
It has been a while since i have eaten at Sweet Basil, but i am definately not going to leave it so long next time.
The food was excellent, very fresh, great flavours; we had a Tuscan red with the meal which was also excellent.
The staff were great, and when i asked for a desert that wasn't on the menu (an afagato), the waiter didn't even flinch as he wrote the order down.
Quality like this is often a rarity in the city. I will be back!

"The man was from the world beyond the ridges, and his carefully tailored clothing looked strangely out of place in the mountain wilderness. His form stooped a little in the shoulders, perhaps with weariness, but he carried himself with the unconscious air of one long used to a position of conspicuous power and influence; and, while his well-kept hair and beard were strongly touched with white, the brown, clear lighted eyes, that looked from under their shaggy brows, told of an intellect unclouded by the shadows of many years. The people of the Ozarks called him The Shepherd of The Hills and only he can heal a division in the community that no one else is even aware of."

Tokyo Marathon to Conduct Unprecedented Security Measures Against Runners
translated and edited by Brett Larner
Click here for the above article's graphic showing a runner in the Tokyo Marathon being followed by police and surveillance cameras above pictures and a list of banned items and activities including plastic bottles, glass bottles, cans, poison, explosives, scissors, box cutters, tear gas, clothing bearing advertising, clothing that might upset others, and music and dancing on the course.
Over fears generated by the Islamic State kidnapping of Japanese citizens and the rising threat of terrorism worldwide, participants in the Feb. 22 Tokyo Marathon will be subjected to unprecedented security measures. The 36,000 participants will be prohibited from bringing plastic sports drink bottles to the start and will each be screened with metal detectors. Police have more than doubled the number of surveillance cameras monitoring runners and spectators along the course, and 64 riot police will run carrying additional surveillance equipment, pepper-spray and other anti-personnel weaponry. The total police and security presence will number more than 10000, both the public and private security sector working together to prevent terrorism in an important warmup for the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.
Participants will be prohibited from bringing drinks or water in plastic bottles, cans or glass bottles. The number of start area access gates where runners will be scanned and searched has been increased from 2 to 6 with the number of metal detectors likewise increased from 4 to 50. Once baggage has been searched it may absolutely not be taken into the start area. Only unopened commercially-available paper drink packs and jelly drinks may be brought in, with a maximum of 200 ml per beverage and a strict limit of no more than 400 ml per person to prevent poison and explosives from being brought into the start area.
Plastic drink bottles can easily be made into liquid bombs and have been used in terrorist acts in the past. Because proper pre-race hydration is important in the marathon, it is extremely unusual for a race to ban participants from bringing drinks. Organizers will provide runners with drinks in paper cups at water stations after the start, but many of the amateur runners making up the field have expressed unhappiness at the measures, saying, "We can't run properly like this." Tokyo Marathon Foundation Chief Operating Officer Masayuki Tezuka commented, "It might inconvenience the runners but they must understand that it is for security."
5 comments:
- TokyoRacer said...
This is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard. Tezuka is a moron.
So he thinks that a terrorist decided last August to bring a bottle of poisoned water to the marathon and he therefore entered the lottery and was lucky enough to win a place out of the 350,000 who applied?
Tezuka-san... the death of a Japanese journalist in Syria two weeks ago HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH the Tokyo Marathon. The runners applied for it six months ago!! And by the way, RUNNERS ARE NOT TERRORISTS. You are an idiot!!

Oh, and what exactly is the terrorist runner going to do with the bottle of poisoned water that he is carrying?

I'd be more worried about what kind of security and vetting of volunteers they have on the drink stations if that's what they are really concerned about.
To be kind to Tezuka and the Tokyo Marathon Foundation, a lot of this is probably coming from the police/Abe gov't side and the TMF probably doesn't really have a lot of choice in implementing it if they want to keep their road closure permits.
But my bigger fear about this related to races is that others are going to start following Tokyo's model like they have in everything else. I already received an email today from someone on the organizing committee on a well-known Japanese elite/amateur race asking if I could consult with them on improving their security measures.
And, needless to say, bigger fears about what it really means.

Either participants will adjust to the new security measures or they won't try to run or enter the race. Just like at airports etc. Unfortunatley its the world we live in now. There might be over-reaction now and or a lot of PR to ensure a race is safe. I'm sure many marthones etc will try many differnt things before 2020.

I personally don't have a problem with the ban on water bottles. Runners will need to adjust and make sure they are hydrated before they get to the starting line. Maybe I'm old school but I never had a water bottle at the starting line. The things they are banning are similar to what you check off, no, at Narita and Haneda when you go through customs. Who is going to admit to bringing in a banned substance or thing. Advertising on singlets or kits, I guess only the pros are allowed that. Dancing and singing, well maybe the hobby joggers. What about all the clubs that sing and dance along the course? How about banning costumes too? Its a race not a stroll through Tokyo.
