[G12] pass1 cooking

Dear Eugene,

You're right, no reason to have that cut, but my skim was not intended 
for the omega, it's just omega was the most abundant particle I could 
extract from 2 files of my skim to check the quality.

Like I mentioned in the e-mail, I'm in process of cooking the same files 
(without any implicit cuts) using calibration constants from pass0. They 
might be ready in a day or two, and I'll give an update.

Nevertheless, even with the cuts on pi+pi- mass, the disappearance of 
omega is a little troubling.

Gagik.
