Berkeley police are still looking for two suspects involved in a robbery and shooting in the Elmwood district more than a week ago.
According to Berkeley Police Department Lieutenant Andrew Greenwood, an unidentified suspect attempted to rob a 62-year-old male pedestrian in the 2700 block of Russell Street at 6:19 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 29.
The suspect shot the victim once, striking him in the lower torso, Greenwood said. The suspect then fled from the scene, and was "possibly driven away from the area in a late model silver or light-colored 'crossover' utility vehicle," resembling a Mercedes Benz or BMW.
Greenwood said a Berkeley patrol officer, who was within three blocks of the incident, heard the shot, and began to investigate.
A witness then flagged down the officer and pointed out the victim, who was then treated by the Berkeley Fire Department and transported to a local hospital, where he was treated for non-life threatening gunshot wounds.
The suspect's vehicle was last seen turning west onto Ashby Avenue from Piedmont.
According to Greenwood, the first suspect was described as an Asian male in his late teens to early 20s, between 5 feet 5 and 5 feet 10 inches in height, thin to medium build with a clean-shaven round face, short dark hair, a hooded jacket, baggy pants, and armed with a pistol.
The second suspect was described as a female of "an unknown race," with long dark hair, driving the getaway vehicle.
The Berkeley Police Department are asking for the community's help with this investigation. Anyone who may have any information regarding this crime is urged to call the BPD Homicide Detail at 981-5741 or the BPD non-emergency number at 981-5900.
The Bay Area Crime Stoppers is offering a reward of up to $2,000 for information leading to the apprehension of the suspects in this case. The Bay Area Crime Stoppers tip line is 800-222-TIPS (8477). Callers can remain anonymous if they wish.


Ādānam-pi nikkhepanam-pi. Ādāna means 'taking up, grasping'; nikkhepana means 'putting or laying down, discarding'. The meaning of these terms here becomes much clearer if one sees how the same contrasting pair of terms is used in the very important and somewhat controversial sutta, SN 22.22 Bhāra Sutta (SN III.1.3.1; PTS SN III, 25), in which the Buddha defines the expressions bhāra-ādānaṃ, "taking up the burden", and bhāra- nikkhepanaṃ, "putting down the burden". In that sutta, the Buddha says that the bhāra, the "burden", is the pañca-upādāna-khandhā, the "five clung-to aggregates"; and that the bhāra-hāra, the "burden-bearer", is the puggala, the "person". While the Buddha certainly denied the existence of any permanent, immutable entity such as a core "self" (attā), his teaching concerning the relationship between the continuity of consciousness and its various interrelated functions, modes and forms, was extremely subtle, sophisticated and complex. The process of consciousness continues from one embodiment to another. While it is not a separable "self" or "soul" (attā), neither can it be reduced merely to the "stream" of its momentary "contents" or "components" (which is how, in essence, the later scholastic Abhidhamma re-interpreted the teaching of the suttas): in a certain sense, "something" makes the "movement" of "consciousness" possible. That is to say, in order to be "ignorant", to "crave", to "grasp", to "move", "consciousness" must always already possess the inherent capacity to be conscious or aware. To interpret the Buddha's teaching on "mind" or "consciousness" in a reductionist manner is to contradict its sense and thus to lose sight of its very deep and beautiful meaning. See also SN 22.22 notes 3, 5, and 7.


Purfleet is not a town famed for integrating events but this week the Royal Opera House's High House venue (the place where all the opera sets are designed and built) held a creative event for children and managed to make it really quite special at that. The High House park is split into a succession of barn like spaces and in each they laid on kind, helpful and enthusiastic volunteer staff to aid the children get into design, for example drawing costumes based around various operatic productions that High House had recently catered for. Here children were encouraged to design a costume for theater productions, were introduced to digital projection technology (basically the ability to target high resolution projection at finely defined spaces all with a computer) they were encouraged to choose and try on various costumes all previously used in opera productions in Covent Garden over the years, and were even introduced to young artists and film makers Hilary Powell and Dan Edelstyn currently in the process of filming a movie and art instillation to be screened at High House in the 2017. For those with an eye on Halloween there was a pumpkin design class, for which the actual free pumpkin carving event is here on Sunday 30th October and clearly a hit with the very small children.
High House is primarily a working space for the Royal Opera House but its barn spaces are rented out for venues like weddings etc, clearly what this organisation needs to do more is host and more earnestly promote these kinds of open events as High House is one of the most agreeable spaces in Thurrock to dwell in. Its position is high enough to provide amazing vistas of the river, the Queen Elizabeth bridge and all the graceful boat traffic sailing silently by, they have taken the time to ensure the garden areas, from where you can take in these views, are perfectly manicured and would easily rank as among the best open gardens in the Thurrock, they even have a cafe that has resisted the urge to become a portentously expensive cafe in a way that its surrounding would clearly justify in today's climate.
Spend anytime in this environment and the question beckons why its not more busy? Its all so serene and pleasant, the answer may lie in the fact that High House doesn't market these events very robustly, whether that's by design or by accident in not clear, what is clear is that locals should track this venue more closely because its one of the nicest places to pass an afternoon in Thurrock.

Josephine Peak Moderate
Day Hiking Los Angeles
Casey Schreiner
The trail to Josephine Peak is a simple out and back on a fire road, which is not the most interesting hike one can do. However, the trail's front-and-center location and apparent lack of highlights means you can often have this entire route to yourself — and those who overlook this for Instagram hotspots are missing out. On clear days, the views from here are some of the best you can get in the San Gabriels. At various points along the trail, you'll have great sight-lines to the interior of the San Gabriels, down the Big Tujunga Canyon, and into the L.A. basin and even to Catalina on the clearest of days.
Park near the Clear Creek Ranger Station (open on weekends only) and pass around the gated fire road to begin your hike. If you're parking along the road, be sure you're completely off the pavement.
From the trailhead, Josephine Peak itself isn't even really visible – but along almost the entire route, you'll have some killer views of nearby Strawberry Peak – Josephine's more well-known and more-traveled neighbor.
The fire road is broad and relatively well-maintained, with a steady but not super tough incline the entire way.
You'll be hiking through some areas that were burned in the 2009 Station Fire. As of 2015, a lot of the vegetation has recovered or is recovering quite nicely, but if it's windy you'll want to keep an eye on any dead branches on the oak trees above you. On the north side of Josephine, also be sure to watch out for a few holdout poodle-dog bushes.
At about the mile mark, the road makes a turn to the north, providing some truly spectacular views of Strawberry Peak and Mount Lawlor to the east.
By the 1.4 mile mark, the road begins a series of switchbacks to gain some elevation. While the trail itself is a bit monotonous on this stretch, you'll at least have some amazing views to keep you company.
At 2.4 miles, stay on the fire road to the left. There is a trail to the right that will take you across the ridge to Josephine Saddle, where you can tackle Strawberry Peak if you're up for it.
From here, the trail hugs the north side of Josephine Peak, which means it'll be a little cooler than the sunnier southern side. Looking north, you'll also have views of some of the hardest-hit regions in the Station Fire. As of 2015, a lot of these peaks and ridges still looking pretty bleak.
Follow the fire road to the summit of Josephine Peak. It'll probably feel longer than you want it to be, because most of the good views are gone and there are a few false summits in view from the road that will make you think you're closer to the turnaround point than you actually are. Again, watch out for poodle-dog brush along the sides of the road here.
At 3.7 miles, the fire road ends. Look for a faint single-track trail that climbs up the final short distance. There will be a small solar-powered building on the peak's western ridge, and just above this are the remains of another structure and a USGS marker (although the marker is labeled Mount Lowe).
When you're done soaking in the views, return back the way you came.
Multi-Use Trail
Well-maintained fire road, with just a short stretch of trail at the very end.
Take the Angeles Crest Highway (CA-2) into the forest near La Canada Flintridge. At the very first ranger station (Clear Creek), where the road meets the Angeles Forest Highway, park across the street from the Clear Creek Ranger Station. The fire road begins just around the corner on the east side of Angeles Forest Highway.

Mike, we've got a nasty wordpress gremlin that's causing parts of the hike write-ups to not render properly, including the trail map. We're working on it and hope to get it back up ASAP!
mike Sep 19, 2017 09:09
are you no longer posting an overhead of the map with your route in red to any of your trail write-ups?
Mike Nov 11, 2015 19:11In reply to: Ryan Morgan
Thanks for the tip. Also did the same loop route in October 2015 and it was great. The paths are well marked on Googlemaps, for anyone else who's interested.

My wife hike up to Josephine peak via Colby Canyon this past weekend (April 2015). The views really are great from the peak and if you hike up the Canyon it's an interesting ascent. My understanding is that it's only recently been opened since the station fire, one of the last trails to reopen. We made it a loop up Colby Canyon and down the fire road to Clear Creek ranger station. We then hoofed it about mile back down the road to our car. If you are looking for something challenging but not too far a drive up the 2, then this is a really good option. Only con was there where a good deal of flies on certain parts of the trail. If you go soon there are still some wild flowers blooming along the trail.

'SOME MISTAKES': John Fish, chairman of Boston 2024, acknowledges unintentional early errors, but insists the process of bringing the Summer Olympics to Boston will be clean and transparent. The group's president, Richard Davey, left, is optimistic a statewide referendum can be crafted for the November 2016 ballot.
'SOME MISTAKES': John Fish, above, chairman of Boston 2024, acknowledges unintentional early errors, but insists the process of bringing the Summer Olympics to Boston will be clean and transparent. The group's president, Richard Davey is optimistic a statewide referendum can be crafted for the November 2016 ballot.
Boston 2024 brass said they are optimistic they can work with an opposition group to craft a proposed statewide referendum question for November 2016 to give voters the final say on the city's bid to host the Summer Olympics.
But they balked at their opponent's suggestion that the question be phrased asking voters whether they support taxpayer money being used, saying that the event will be privately funded.
In a wide-ranging sit-down with the Herald yesterday, Boston 2024 chairman John Fish, group president Richard Davey and Rubin laid out details of its push for the games, including its recent reversal to sponsor the referendum. But they also acknowledged they've been battered by dipping public support and increasing questions of its operations.
Davey added he's "more optimistic" he can work with No Boston Olympics on a ballot question all sides can agree on.
But Davey said her office has never asked him to disclose donors in their conversations. Davey also said there are two anonymous donors.
"I think we're the most transparent nonprofit in Massachusetts," Davey said.
• Fish also admitted to a series of missteps — including the controversial $7,500-a-day global ambassador job it gave former Gov. Deval Patrick. "It doesn't make a difference what I say. It doesn't look good," Fish said of Patrick's eye-popping stipend. After days of criticisms, the former governor last week said he'd help the group but not for a fee.
Fish couldn't say if he would have handled the offer to Patrick differently. He noted that with 98 of 102 International Olympic Committee members being outside the U.S., "we have to travel around like retail politics and win the hearts and minds of those people." He said it's a role even U.S. Olympic Committee officials said Patrick would be "phenomenal" in.

Ambassador John Lewis visits Black Lives Matter Plaza with the Mayor of Washington
WJLA
Fairfax County Officer Tyler Timberlake is facing three different charges of assault and battery for an incident involving the tasting and arrest of a black man.
Footage of the bodies from the body released by the department shows a police officer violating the use of coercive policies, authorities said on Saturday.
Timberlake, an eight-year-old military man, faces 36 months in prison, said Steve T. Descano, a Commonwealth County Commonwealth attorney.
The unidentified victim in the video was treated at a local hospital and released, Fairfax County Colonel Police Chief Edwin C. Roessler Jr. said, adding that he personally extended his hand to the victim and mother to "express it." [his] disgust s [his] the officer's unacceptable criminal acts and is confident that justice will be served to her. "
Roessler said Timberlake was relieved of his duties and law enforcement in accordance with Fairfax County staff regulations. Other officers at the scene were also relieved of their duties pending results and a criminal and administrative investigation, Roessler said.
CNN's attempts to reach Timberlake were not immediately successful.
Descano called the video of the body cameras "disturbing." I want our community to know that we are prosecuting accusations that are in line with current law and that are corroborated by the evidence presented to us, "he said.
The bodywork video was released by Chief Roessler, who said the video shows Officer Timberlake committing "crimes that violate our oath and disregard the sanctity of human life. The footage also undermines public confidence in police officers, not only in Fairfax County, but across of the world. "

Roessler also said that in addition to the criminal investigation, he has launched an administrative investigation and the use of force by the police officer will be subject to an independent review by the Fairfax County Police Auditor.


Below is our collection of tidbits, odds 'n ends for Pigeon.
We spend a lot of time looking through Gazetteers & Almanacs that were published in the late 1800's and early 1900's. Many of the Gazetteers include the distance from a community such as Pigeon to various places of note, such as the White House.
Spencer [Map], which is the Seat of Roane County, lies 19 miles [30.6 km] to the North Northwest. If you could walk a straight line from Pigeon to Spencer, with an average speed<2> of 2.2 miles [3.5 km] per hour, it would take just over a day to make the trip. A horse and buggy averaging 3.2 miles [5.1 km] per hour would take 6 hours.
Charleston [Map], which is the State Capital of West Virginia, lies 26 miles [41.8 km] to the West Southwest (WSW). The buggy would take just over a day and walking would take just about two full days.
The White House (Washington, DC [Map]) is 226 miles [363.7 km] to the East (E). Driving, with an average speed of 63 miles [101.4 km] per hour, would take nearly four hours, a buggy would take 9 days and walking would take 13 days.
We have found 9 communities that share the name Pigeon.
While the name Pigeon is unique within West Virginia, we know of another 9 communities with the same name in the United States.
Distance: About 408 miles [656.6 km] to the West.
Distance: About 318 miles [511.8 km] to the West.
Distance: About 795 miles [1,279.4 km] to the West Northwest.
Distance: About 105 miles [169 km] to the Southwest.
Distance: About 819 miles [1,318.1 km] to the Southwest.
Distance: About 380 miles [611.6 km] to the North Northwest.
Although located in Ottawa County, we don't know the location of this community within the county.
Distance: About 236 miles [379.8 km] to the North Northeast.
Distance: About 1,726 miles [2,777.7 km] to the West Northwest.
Below is our list of notable people who were born, died or were buried in the area surrounding Pigeon. Please note that while we are collecting data on an ongoing basis, it's a big task and it's unlikely that our list will ever be more than a sample.
Unfortunately, we don't know of a website for Pigeon. If you can help, please contact us through our Feedback Page.
<1> Our distances are not driving distances, but are calculated as a 'straight-line' (or point-to-point) distance. A straight line distance ignores things like rivers, canyons, lakes, et cetera - it's truly a line drawn from Point A (ie- Pigeon) to Point B.
Our distance measurements begin at a specific point in Pigeon. The point we use is located at these GPS coordinates - Latitude: 38.5372, Longitude: -81.2093 [Map].
<3> The shortest line can be visualized by stretching a string on a Globe from Point A to Point B - this is known as a Great Circle Route. Where you might expect the shortest route from Pigeon to the Middle East to be East and South, the Great Circle Route actually lies to the North and East.
<4> The calculated bearing (or angle) to Jerusalem is 310.40 degrees.
<5> The calculated bearing (or angle) to Mecca is 306.243 degrees.
<6> The calculated bearing (or angle) to the Vatican is 306.62 degrees.
<7> We use the term 'Historic' broadly and it generally means that the community no longer exists. However, it can also mean that the community might still exist, but was significantly larger or had a more 'official' existence in the past than it does now. Unfortunately our sources of data have proven to be unreliable. If you can provide us with more specific information about Pigeon, please let us know so that we can improve our accuracy.
Also keep in mind that Pigeon could have been on the original document by mistake, misspelled, the original/alternate name of a community that we've listed elsewhere or was placed in the wrong county. Sometimes a post office or train station would have a different name than the community where it's located, so two names might be referring to the same community - we're working to straighten it all out.

Called the Vela supercluster, the newly discovered object is a massive group of several galaxy clusters, each one containing hundreds or thousands of galaxies."I could not believe such a major structure would pop up so prominently" after an observation of that region of space, said Renée Kraan-Korteweg, an astrophysicist at the University of Cape Town in South Africa, in a press release.Kraan-Korteweg and her team published their discovery of the supercluster, named after the constellation Vela where it was found, in the Monthly Notices Letters of the Royal Astronomical Society.
Using that data, they calculated how fast each galaxy they saw above and below the galactic plane was moving away from Earth. Their number-crunching soon revealed that they all seemed to be moving together – indicating a lot of galaxies couldn't be seen.
"[I]t became obvious we were uncovering a massive network of galaxies, extending much further than we had ever expected," Michelle Cluver, an astrophysicist at the University of the Western Cape, said in the release.
Their calculations also show Vela is about 800 million light-years distant and zooming farther and farther away from us at a speed of about 40 million mph (18,000 kilometers per second).Despite that extra and rapidly increasing distance, however, Vela's influence can't be denied. The researchers estimate that Vela's gravitational tug on the Local Group of galaxies, which includes the Milky Way, has sped them up by about 110,000 mph (50 kilometers per second).
That's quite a pull, and could help tell the incredible story of how our Milky Way galaxy – and we – got here.

Do I Have Dissociative Identity Disorder?
October 7, 2010 Holly Gray
We were talking about dissociation when a man I once knew told me he'd been entirely unaware of a hospital stay until he got the bill. I didn't say it, but I immediately thought, 'he obviously has Dissociative Identity Disorder.' I now know how presumptuous that was. Though his experience was clearly indicative of something outside of everyday experience, it's taking a lot for granted to assume that something is DID. And looking back, it's absurd that I was so convinced. Not satisfied with a second opinion of my own diagnosis, I sought out four. One would think someone as hesitant to jump to conclusions as that would exercise a little more caution.
[caption id="attachment_635" align="alignleft" width="253" caption="Photo by genelin1211"] [/caption]
Dissociation Is Normal
On Monday I published the last of a five part series titled What Is Dissociation? What I hoped to convey with that series is that, as Deborah Haddock says in The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook, "DID is an extreme manifestation of what we all experience to a much lesser degree." Most people experience dissociation in all of its five primary forms from time to time - depersonalization, derealization, dissociative amnesia, identity confusion, identity alteration. Clarifying the mild to moderate dissociative symptoms that we're all acquainted with is vital to demystifying DID. The diagnosis will always seem otherworldly and exotic if the condition isn't explained in a way people can relate to.
Dissociative Identity Disorder Is Not Normal
"Normal is a setting on the dryer" - I've heard it too. But I don't buy it. There is a range, albeit wide, of experiences that most of us can agree are normal. DID doesn't fall within it. A bold statement perhaps, but it's true. Most people do not have Dissociative Identity Disorder. I want very much to humanize DID and show that, in so many ways, people with it are normal. But I don't want to suggest that the disorder itself is normal, though dissociative disorders in general are more widespread than we once thought .
Dissociative Identity Disorder Is A Psychiatric Diagnosis
As such, diagnosing it is a job for experienced clinicians. Particularly when you consider that resistance to exposure is part of the disorder. Contrary to popular belief, Dissociative Identity Disorder isn't at all easy to spot. Books like The Stranger in the Mirror by Marlene Steinberg and Maxine Schnall or The Dissociative Identity Disorder Sourcebook by Deborah Haddock are excellent introductory resources. The former even contains screening questionnaires that can help you decide if you should see a therapist, though they're not diagnostic tools on their own. No blog, forum, book, or friend can tell anyone that they have DID. Neither can most therapists, though I hope the majority possess enough understanding of dissociation to recognize when a client might need more specialized treatment. If you think you may have DID, consider asking your therapist about it or seeing a therapist if you don't already have one.

Holly-
I read this and my instant thought is thank God someone else understands the need for proper diagnosis. I have been around the world and back on DID support websites and something I see very commonly is people self diagnosing or peer diagnosing DID. This just isnt practical.
If I were to say I am a purple person then I painted my body purple and looked in the mirror, I would see a purple person. But does that really make me a purple person or just someone that for some reason thinks I am a purple person.
It is crucial to getting help to be diagnosed by someone that knows DID and the diagnostic tools. Sorry mini-rant. Just to say if you think this is a problem for you see a therapist or psychiatrist that knows how to diagnose and treat it.

I have been around the world and back on DID support websites and something I see very commonly is people self diagnosing or peer diagnosing DID.
I've seen a lot of that too. Sometimes it's genuine confusion, e.g. my conviction that the man who didn't know he'd been in the hospital until he got the bill had DID. And he might very well have Dissociative Identity Disorder. Still, I'm glad I didn't have the presumption to say so. He was already confused. Throwing DID at him might have muddied the waters further.
But sometimes it's something more. DID has been romanticized by entertainment media. Those with it are often perceived as tragic, wounded, and highly gifted creatures. I'm not sure what's appealing about that, but without a doubt something is, and therefore it's imitated more often than I would have guessed.
I also believe that if you are severely dissociative to begin with, it's not that difficult to become convinced you have DID if you don't know much about it. And that must be a very confusing and frightening experience. This is where a skilled clinician can provide the most help, I think. How frustrating it would be to try to live with a disorder that is similar to what you have, but not quite it. I would imagine it's maddening.
Purple, huh? ;)

Q: Javascript convert [url=] to html link I'm currently trying to convert this:
[url=http://example.com] this is a link [/url]
to a standard html link:
this is a link

So far, I can convert the url string to a link, however the [url=] [/url] still remains and I'm not sure how to filter it out.
message.replace(/(\b(https?):\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])/ig, "$1")

How can I filter out the [url=] [/url] in the regex and also ensure this is a link (text defined by the user) also remains?

A: You just need to add it to your replace regex:
message.replace(/\[url=(\b(https?):\/\/[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%?=~_|!:,.;]*[-A-Z0-9+&@#\/%=~_|])\]/ig, "$1")
                 ^^^^^^

Though you still have the last url tag and you can make things easier with negated classes:
message.replace(/\[url=([^\]]+)\]\s*(.*?)\s*\[\/url\]/ig, "$2")

regex101 demo
EDIT: Made the closing tag a literal because of potential other tags

A: I would do that in 3 steps:

*

*Replace [url= with <a href="

*Replace [/url] with

*Replace ] with ">
But that's just an opinion. I usually like to keep it simple, and move on to the next problem.

In addition, won't the ball axis tilt if there is any break/slope to the putt? I think I recall seeing this on the Aimpoint express video.
Me and the guys I typically play with call them "practice rounds". For example, we would go to the course after work knowing that we probably aren't going to get 9 holes in before dark, but have no intention of playing for a score. Instead, we use it as a chance to work on our game, or maybe to test out a new driver shaft or different balls or something like that. We might hit several tee shots off the par 4s and par 5s, or hit a few approach shots into each green. Depending on what I'm working on, I might not even putt...just fix my ball marks, pick-up and head to the next tee. Basically it's similar to what the Tour guys do on Mon and Tues of a tournament. Hitting balls on the range is great, but hitting shots on the course is different, so it's something I do on a regular basis.
What are your thoughts on this as it relates to posting scores for handicaps?
There's nothing in the Handicap Manual that I've ever found that addressed practice on the course. The rules simply require that you post scores that are played under the Rules of Golf. The problem comes with enforcement by the Handicap Committee. The Committee generally has to reconcile the records of who has played on which days against the scores posted by those players. The expectation is that if you went out to play, you should post a score. Consequently, it becomes a record-keeping issue to keep track of who is playing golf, who is playing alone, and who is practicing. Then there arises the issue of a player who ends up having a really good (or really bad) round and deciding partway through that its a "practice day" in order to avoid posting the score. I have no problem with people practicing on the course like you describe, it just makes things more difficult on the handicap committee, and that's a pretty thankless job already.
The line is on the ball is important to me. I aim it at a blade of grass, pitch mark or whatever i find that is on line with where i want to start the ball. I line up else everything off that. What @burr mentions is pretty unusual, but if it makes him enjoy the game more then have at it.
Pay no attention to old @Groucho Valentine, he's a New Jersey curmudgeon. And just a little tip, when you want to mention someone by name, type the @ sign, followed by the first first letter of the name, and then pick the name from the list of members that pops up. That member will get a notification that you've mentioned them. And welcome to TheSandTrap!
A couple of years ago, I casually mentioned to my instructor that I thought I was lipping out a lot of putts and he watched me line a couple from 15 feet and lipping them out (on a straight putt) and then told me: you're lining up the line at the edge of the hole, not inside it. Stop using the line and just put down the white part of the ball (no logo, no marking), pick a dimple to look at, and let your body/mind do all the alignment and other work to get the ball to the hole. Results are much improved since then!
TRUE - I once tried it. I drew lines on my ball and just to test my eyesight, I lay down behind the ball for a three footer and made sure the ball was perfectly in line. When I stood up and addressed the putt, lining up the line with the putt, it would appear that I was 8 inches to the left of the hole - and that was from three feet! It's amazing how the brain can adjust for what you see and what you think you see.
I know this post is a month old @iacas, but I definitely agree with you. I draw a line, but mine is more for identification than anything, and it's probably not straight. I line up my putts to a spot a foot in front of the ball anyway.
When I putt I place the ball so that I'm seeing nothing but white. No thanks to the line. Besides, how many putts are actually dead straight? Hit it too hard it goes above the hole....too easy and it rolls below the hole. In the case of a putt hit with improper force, the line is nearly unimportant.
Reminds me of my buddy. He sets up with his feet pointing left of the line, then shoves the putt toward the line. I've told him what he's doing countless times, but he continues to do it.
So.... he putts with an open stance? I do too, have done it for 20 years. Whatever works to roll the ball on the line you choose.
We were talking about lining up an actual, physical line on the ball.
Only thing is, he doesn't! And I don't know that a line on the ball would help him either. I don't use a line. All I want to see on a putt, or any other shot where I have the choice, is pure white!
To me -- If you're concentrating on a ball ... don't ... you may get ball bound - I like my eyes either in front of the ball on the target line or another technique is on a short putt, eyes on back of ball, long putt - eyes ahead of ball. But not the top of the ball.
Oversized grip? Depends on your grip on the putter. Superstroke, Golf Pride Tour Snsr, I've even used something called the Palmbird... whatever stabilizes your grip and allows you a tension free grip.
Out of interest does anybody take advantage of being able to change balls between holes? e.g. switching to a 2 piece for a long,narrow hole, and 3 piece for the others?
Nope, because I rather have consistency on my iron shots and around the green.
I wouldn't find much difference off the driver on a 2-piece versus a 3-piece golf ball. This was done by Golf Digest back in 2011, but it gives you a good look at how close most golf balls are when considering tee shots.
When you consider wedge shots. That is were premium golf balls excel over non-premium golf balls.
I have one of those ball spinning gizmos, where once up to spinning speed, you touch it with a sharpie and it draws a line around the ball. I think it was a Christmas gift from a few decades ago. As I recall it was to help with finding the balance line of the ball, since back then, balls we're (allegedly) out of balance from the manufacturer. The second part being a help in lining up putts. I never really used that line for the Gizmo's advertised features. It was more of a novelty item.
What I used the line for was identifying my ball (red stripe), and where I was contacting the ball on the club face. The red ink would transfer to club face. Then after the round, when thoroughly cleaning my clubs, I'd look at the strike marks. If they looked in the right spot of the club face, all was good with my swing, pretty much. If the marks showed movement starting one way, or another, I knew I was letting something I didn't need get into my swing.


A taste of comfort for the holidays and the winter months to follow.
When I see a recipe titled Carrot and Leek Soup, it makes me think of a fancy soup only reserved for dinner guests.
But this week my two kids proved to me that doesn't need to be the case. Their spoons made short work of this so-called "fancy" carrot soup (minus the chives) when I served it alongside not-so-fancy toasted bagels with melted cheese.
The nutrient-rich carrots, the mild onion flavor of the leeks, along with the hint of cinnamon and ginger give this soup a sophisticated taste. The flavor also that happens to appeal to my son, and my daughter - who doesn't even like carrots.
And that is the beauty of pureed soup - its smooth texture and taste is refined enough to serve as a starter dish for special occasions, and it disguises the healthy stuff which gives the kids the courage to sink their spoon into it!
* Recipe from The Cook-a-Palooza Experience Cookbook. In the cookbook this recipe is titled Comforting Carrot Ginger Soup, but it is really the leeks that provide the mild and unique taste - hence the update in the name.
1. In a large soup pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add carrots, leeks, and celery. Cook and stir the vegetables until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Stir in ginger and cinnamon. Cook and stir for 30 seconds more. Pour in vegetable broth and water. Then season with the salt and pepper. Bring soup to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, until vegetables are very tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove pot from heat.
2. Working in batches, puree soup in a blender until smooth. Return pureed soup to pot. Whisk in the sour cream. Ladle soup into a serving bowl and garnish with chives. Enjoy!

On July 6-7, 2015, heads of government, education ministers, and international organizations convened to discuss solutions for the world's 59 million out-of-school children. Building on the outcomes of the World Education Forum in Korea, the Oslo Summit on Education for Development marked the second-to-last high-level meeting on education before the General Assembly of the United Nations in September in which the official Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was adopted. It also marked the first time that world leaders officially prioritized education in emergencies by agreeing on a financing mechanism for education in emergencies. They also established an International Commission on the Financing of Global Education Opportunities to link economic growth to global education development. Learn more by reading key leaders' op-eds belows.
Education is a human right. And, like other human rights, it cannot be taken for granted. Across the world, 59 million children and 65 million adolescents are out of school. More than 120 million children do not complete primary education. Behind these figures there are children and youth being denied not only a right, but opportunities: a fair chance to get a decent job, to escape poverty, to support their families, and to develop their communities. This year, decision-makers will set the priorities for global development for the next 15 years. They should make sure to place education high on the list.
The importance of education – and especially schooling – cannot be overestimated. Not only has the expansion of primary and secondary education been linked to accelerated economic growth, poverty eradication, and improved income equality, but education also appears to be closely associated with social enrichment and inclusion, the upgrading of human capital, increased opportunities, and enhanced freedom and welfare. That is why, as Pakistan's prime minister, I have placed universal access to education very high on the national agenda.
Norway, under the leadership of Prime Minister Erna Solberg and Foreign Minister Børge Brende, will soon host a summit on education for development with one simple aim: to bolster global cooperation on education. The hope is that the summit, which United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will attend, will improve the world's chances of meeting the goal, featured in the upcoming post-2015 development agenda, that every child have access to pre-primary, primary, and secondary education by 2030.
World leaders who care passionately about education will soon gather in Oslo for a summit, convened by Norway's government, to discuss the educational needs of the world's poorest children. This is a pivotal year, when the world is deciding on the content and financing of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that will guide development efforts for the next 15 years. And it is becoming a year of high-level focus on education. As it should be.
When I took charge of Lebanon's Ministry of Education and Higher Education in February 2014, I was presented with two huge challenges. In addition to improving the management and quality of Lebanon's public education system, I had to determine how to handle the unprecedented influx of refugees from Syria – around half a million of them children.
Leave no person or country behind. This is the ultimate ambition of the sustainable development agenda that will be adopted at the United Nations in September. As the world prepares to rally around a new set of goals to improve lives and protect the planet, we must load the dice. That is why the upcoming Oslo Summit on Education for Development is so important.

This month we have an update on hunting in Russia's Primorksy Krai region, as well as a new report from subscriber Craig Willis on a hunt there for Manchurain wapiti organized by Russian agency Profihunt.
Back in January 2016 we heard from Bob Kern of The Hunting Consortium (www.huntingconsortium.com; 540-955-0090) about his renewed bookings in Primorsky Krai, a large region in Russia's far east between China and Japan. Primorsky Krai offers free range hunting for a number of unique game species, including Asian black bear, Amur brown bear, Siberian roe deer, Dybowski sika deer, wapiti, Amur moose and musk deer. Although a few agencies, notably Tony Tonchev's Hunt Europe and Profihunt, have continued to book hunters in the region, but the area has not been frequented by American hunters. While a handful of Americans hunted Asian black bear in past years, these hunters do not seem to have made an effort to bring their trophies home. A few hunters have recently received CITES permits for these bears (which are listed under CITES Appendix I).
The Hunting Consortium sent four American hunters there in 2016, and more in 2017. Bob Kern said that hunts in 2016 and 2017 went very well, and that he is working with new partners in the area. The Hunting Consortium first sent hunters to Primorsky Krai in the 90's, but found that infrastructure was lacking and that local outfitters were not receptive to training to meet international standards of operations. Fortunately, the scene has improved, says Kern.
In 2017 Subscriber Craig Willis went on a successful hunt for Asian black bear with Link's Wild Safaris. He tells us that he among the first hunters to get CITES export and import permits for Asian black bear, and that he expects his skull and hides to arrive within the next 90 days. This year, Willis returned to Primorsky Krai to hunt wapiti and deer, booking with Profihunt (www.profihunt.com; 347-587-8109).
Willis took a trophy wapiti and a Siberian roe deer, coming up short on Dybowski sika. In his report, Willis writes, "I always hope for good weather before I wish for a successful hunt. The week before I arrived in Russia a severe typhoon made it's way across that region of Russia, and friends I had hunting there at that time said that it was a washout. However, it rained only the day of my arrival and stayed just beautiful from there, although water made for some issues getting into and out of some hunting areas.
"Another item was the bountiful acorn crop. The typhoon had blown most of the crops out of the trees and dinner was on the table, keeping animals tight to one place. The Manchurian wapiti was my main focus, and for this species I hit it just right by hunting during the rut. With all the feed on the ground and the bulls holding tight it was easy to locate them with calls.
"The hunt area is in thickly wooded hills. Where I hunted bear to the north had more lush (and even thicker) vegetation, but that area was lower. Here there were more spruce and birch trees, and it will remind hunters of some areas of Colorado, although not as rocky. At lower elevations there were fields with barley and soybeans.
"I took a roebuck over a salt lick, hunting from what was more or less a bow blind. With the rut over this was likely the only good way to hunt them. Again, the dense forest cut visibility to 50 yards or so, and shots came quick. For the wapiti I would recommend a semi-automatic in case a quick followup shot is needed in thick forest.
"I hunted sika deer in another area about five hours distant. I think the conditions kept the deer from moving, and I just didn't have luck on my side. That said, I was very happy with how the hunt went, and I recommend it completely.
"The hunters hunt out of the base camps, hunting houses and cabins—no tented camps.
We also spoke with Jay Link of Link's Wild Safaris (www.linkswildsafaris.com; 715-520-0907), who sent Willis to Primorsky Krai for his bear hunt last year. Says Link, "We had a few big name hunters and Weatherby guys going in this year, and it's a little bit of a hot destination at the moment, especially for the bears.
Link said that the few unsuccessful hunts came as a result of the same typhoon mentioned by Willis. He headed to the area in late August and did some hunting, but ran smack into the worst of the weather.
We will be looking forward to seeing more reports from Russia's Far East, and getting a better sense of this unique destination.

Q: Concurrent futures in python doesn't wait for processes to finish I've got a function, main(), that generates 4 processes, and starts executes them eventually, but it loops over this whole block of code once it begins several times. What I want to have it do I think is apparent; print "hello1", execute the processes (and therefore the print statements), and then print "hello2"
What am I doing wrong? Would also be open to a solution that uses multiprocessing.Process() if that's easier, but I've had the same issue there as well.

def funcy(c):
    print("Hi " + str(c))
    for e in range(1000):
        e = e
    return c*2

print("hello1")

def main():
    with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
        f = [1,2,3,4]
        results = executor.map(funcy,f)

        for result in results:
            print(result)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    main()

print("hello2")

A: I think the main problem is that the for loop is indented within the with context manager for the concurrent.futures call.  Also, the print("hello1") seems out of place.  The  print("hello2") needs to be indented.
I think the below edit is what you're looking for...maybe...
import concurrent.futures

def funcy(c):
    print("Hi " + str(c))
    for e in range(1000):
        e = e
    return c*2

def main():
    with concurrent.futures.ProcessPoolExecutor() as executor:
        f = [1,2,3,4]
        results = executor.map(funcy,f)

    for result in results:
        print(result)

if __name__ == '__main__':
    print("hello1")

    main()

    print("hello2")
