Main Content
The mission of the Division of Forestry's Education program is to facilitate and promote objective education concerning the natural environment and its management. We do this by preparing educators to effectively deliver facts to their target audience. Our vision is to have a knowledgeable citizenry responsible for maintaining a healthy environment and thriving economy as a result of our continued investment of time and resources into each generation. Forests are part of an interdependent natural system, not an isolated entity. While Indiana's forestland is our focus, we consider the management of all natural resources.
Project Learning Tree (PLT) is an award-winning environmental education program designed for teachers, non-formal educators, home-school educators and others who work with students from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. Sponsored by the American Forest Foundation and used in 50 states and several foreign countries, PLT provides educators with interdisciplinary instructional activities and lesson plans that can be infused into their existing curricula. Teachers wishing to use PLT materials must attend a training session, where they receive the materials.
Arbor Day in Indiana is celebrated on the last Friday in April. This is another way to teach young people about the importance of trees. During the winter months, the Division of Forestry sends a letter to all Indiana school principals asking if they would like an Arbor Day tree for their schools. Those who do will receive a tree and instructions during the week before Arbor Day. A similar offer allows every third grade student in Indiana to receive a tree seedling.
Geared toward fourth-graders, this curricular supplement presents forest inventory data in an interesting, understandable way, and provides educators with information and lesson ideas. It is easy for students to use and contains additional resources and assessment tools for their teachers.
"Forests of Indiana" curriculum supplement
(Very large file--will take a few minutes to download.)
The Virtual Forest CD Series provides teachers and students with a variety of tools that allow them to explore a virtual forest on the computer. These programs are NOT intended to replace an actual trip to a forest, but rather to better prepare students for field study in a real forest by familiarizing them with the use of a dichotomous key, demonstrating techniques of forest plot inventory, providing responses to a multitude of natural resource questions, and introducing many forest management issues that are relevant to each of these different forest ecosystems.
The link below leads to the Temperate Rainforest Virtual Forest, a free simulation providing a sampling of features found on the other four Virtual Forest CDs. A link to an order form for the other four forest ecosystems is also available here.
The Virtual Forest CD Series
This award-winning PBS special, Indiana Expeditions: Forests At Work, investigates the science behind forestry from the lab to field. The video follows foresters into Indiana's woodlands to learn how management helps keep Indiana's forests healthy and productive. Whether it be an urban forest in the middle of a city or a 25,000-acre state forest, the science of forestry helps maintain the trees we depend on for the very air we breathe.

Titans rally, beat Bengals 24-20 for best start since 2008
NFL Headlines
(AP Photo/Mark Zaleski)
By TERESA M. WALKER
AP Pro Football Writer
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) The Tennessee Titans are starting to show they can finish in style. The result is the best start for this franchise since 2008.
Marcus Mariota tossed a 7-yard touchdown pass to DeMarco Murray with 36 seconds left , and the Titans rallied to beat the Cincinnati Bengals 24-20 Sunday for their fourth consecutive victory.
Now the Titans (6-3) have their longest winning streak since winning five straight in 2009, and they haven't won six games this early since 2008, when the Titans won their first 10 and last reached the playoffs as the AFC's No. 1 seed.
"I use the word resilient a lot, but I think that's the makeup of this team," Titans coach Mike Mularkey said. "It's amazing that they believe in themselves, they just know we always have a chance to win. That's important in this business."
Murray ran for two touchdowns, and Mariota finished with 264 yards passing.
The Bengals (3-6) lost for the third time in four games despite sacking Mariota four times. They started with three defensive starters scratched and lost a fourth when linebacker Vontaze Burfict was ejected in the second quarter after pushing the arm of an official.
Cincinnati took its only lead at 20-17 on a 70-yard TD pass from Andy Dalton to A.J. Green with 5:03 left, but the Bengals couldn't stop the Titans, who drove 73 yards for the winning TD.
They had one last chance. On their final play, Dalton threw deep only to have Titans safety Kevin Byard knock the ball down.
"Not getting a `W' really hurts," Green said.
Last week, Green was ejected from a loss at Jacksonville for a fight with Jaguars cornerback Jalen Ramsey that cost him $42,541 in fines. Against the Titans, Burfict was ejected with 5:12 left in the second quarter.
Burfict was flagged for a late hit on Murray, then two plays later referee Jeff Triplette announced Burfict had made contact with an official. Replays later showed Burfict shoving the left arm of down judge Jeff Bergman, who immediately threw a flag. Burfict took his time leaving the field, talking with fans, raising both arms and finally jumping to high-five a fan before going into the locker room.
"Sometimes what happens is you push back and you touch an official," Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said. "You can't do that. He knows better and we pay a price. We pay a price because it hurts us when it's on the field that way, and then he's not on the field."
Dalton had a hard time holding onto the ball with two fumbles in the second quarter. On the first, Titans linebacker Brian Orakpo sacked and stripped him of the ball, which was recovered by Derrick Morgan. Then Dalton had a bad snap that Morgan again recovered. But Mariota gave the ball right back to Cincinnati when Darqueze Dennard intercepted a pass.
Titans kicker Ryan Succop's NFL record streak of successful field goals finally ended at 56 after his first attempt. He missed wide right on a 48-yarder midway through the second quarter. Succop came into the game having easily topped the previous NFL mark of 46 consecutive field goals inside the 50 set by Matt Bryant of Atlanta between 2013 and 2015. It was Succop's first miss from inside 50 yards since Sept. 21, 2014, in a loss at Cincinnati. The Titans kicker came into this game 21 of 23 on field goals. Succop connected from 44 yards for a 17-13 halftime lead.
Cincinnati: Cornerback Adam Jones left the field with 8:57 left in the third quarter, and the Bengals ruled him out with a concussion. ... Dennard also hurt a toe.
Tennessee: Mariota hurt his left, non-throwing shoulder on a scramble on the final drive, but he said he was fine. Mularkey said tight end Delanie Walker hurt a hand or wrist.
Bengals: Visit Denver next Sunday.
Titans: Visit Pittsburgh on Thursday night.

Most Americans continue to favor stronger background checks on guns, but they remain skeptical that the proposal — which appears stuck in the Senate — will reduce violent crime.
Rasmussen Reports today released a survey showing that 51 percent of American voters think background checks for gun purchasers will not be an effective deterrent to violent crime. In the same survey, 75 percent say a strict background check should be mandatory for anyone who wishes to purchase a gun in America. Only 16 percent disagree.
The data hints that support for background checks is already waning, despite efforts by the Obama administration to keep gun control legislation in the national spotlight after the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Following the shootings, Rasmussen reported 86 percent supported universal background checks.
Last week, President Obama marked the 100 days since the killings in a continued effort to keep gun control legislation from being pushed to the back burner and out of the American emotional conscience. Some Republicans have criticized the administration for using the incident, in which 20 children and six educators were murdered, for political purposes.
If mandatory background checks were enacted, the survey reports 60 percent think that just convicted felons and individuals with serious mental issues should be prevented from purchasing guns. Thirty percent of respondents said more people should be prevented from buying guns.

Matthew Collings
- March 18, 2015 7:00 PM
March 19-Matthew Collings, art writer and artist
Matthew Collings, the British artist and writer, has been recognized throughout a diverse and emphatic career for his wit and brilliant perspective on art and the culture that surrounds it. As the editor of Artscribe, a timely publication that regularly featured contributions by Art & Language; the creator, writer, and host of a number of TV documentaries, including the six-part series This Is Modern Art, which won many awards, including a BAFTA; and an author of books about contemporary art in London that combine informed description with "seeing the black heart in everything," Collings has received notable recognition, including a special commendation from the Turner Prize committee. His exhibition Matthew Collings and Emma Biggs: Suspicious Utopias opens March 23 at Fort Worth Contemporary Arts.
For this Tuesday Evenings presentation, Collings promises an evening of aesthetic intensity and lurid biography as he shares the peculiar life experiences that fed into his optimistic abstract paintings about light that he makes in collaboration with mosaicist Emma Biggs. The paintings stand in stark contrast to the acute and uncompromising look he takes as a writer and commentator, while nevertheless being made with the conviction that, as stated on Collings's website, "Art, as it used to be understood, has come to an end."
The spring series for Tuesday Evenings at the Modern begins February 12 and ends April 23. These lectures and presentations by artists, architects, historians, and critics are held in the Modern's auditorium and begin at 7 pm. Free admission tickets (limit two) can be picked up at the Modern's information desk beginning at 5 pm on the day of the lecture. Seating begins at 6:30 pm and is limited to the first 250 ticketholders. A live broadcast of the lectures is shown in Café Modern for any additional guests. The Museum galleries remain open until 7 pm on Tuesdays during the series (regular gallery admission charge applies).
Café Modern is open for dinner on Tuesday nights during the lecture series. Enjoy a fine dining experience before or after the lecture; seating is available from 5 pm to 8:30 pm. For reservations, call 817.840.2157 or visit www.themodern.org/cafe.

Curated by interior designers Rocio del Barco and Alejandro Rincon, the house was a treasure-trove of sustainable and eco-friendly designs that highlighted the country's pride in its traditional artisan skills and ability to fuse craftsmanship with modern, international home décor trends. Handmade, naturally dyed wall hangings and bed spreads, furniture made from reclaimed wood, and eco-friendly kids toys were just some of the many items that enticed visitors to pass through.
The wood floors of a former train wagon provided the base for a hand-carved, patina-colored coffee table and bench by Raymisa decorated with cushions by Inkatraditions. Ikasa provided the bar stools with Heliconia leaf carvings, celebrating Perú's flora. The study was given a natural touch with traditional rainforest carvings by Rocio del Barco- Diseño y Artesanía that were thoughtfully aligned along the wall. In the kid's room, an array of colorful, plush toys peeked out of a chest. Made from felt scraps, the bold creatures were the invention of Paya. Lum Pen also added a touch of color and creativity for kids with a series of paper mache mobiles and figurines to get young minds thinking about recycling.
Overall, the layout of the house also allowed visitors to enjoy each room independently while still feeling connected to the rest of the house. The virtual divisions, bamboo poles and open spaces mimicked that of the traditional Peruvian beach house. Typical Andean designs and colors within the space also celebrated the mountain cultures that are an important part of Perú's history.
Beyond Perú Home, several exhibitors also stood out for their eco-approach to high quality design. Tallerqata, a Quechua name meaning "covering," uses naturally-dyed, organic materials crafted by skilled artisans to produce a variety of home goods as well as several styles for women and children. The designs are highly modern, timeless and inviting to touch as many feature Peruvian pima and native cotton and baby alpaca fibers.
Also of note was Toti, a brand devoted to the creation of hand-woven and knitted textiles and rugs made from 100% alpaca, baby alpaca or llama yarn. With a respect for artisans and native materials, Toti produces a variety of goods in subtler and more vibrant hues. For those with an appreciation for ceramics and the environment, Tinkuy fuses both. Using natural mountain Gress and arcilla from a local quarry, the iron causes the clay to change color at high temperatures resulting in a variety of naturally occurring tones on the final products.
Overall, the Perú Gift Show was a chance for the international community to observe how far the country has come in the past several years as reflected through design. While carefully maintaining a balance between a respect for artisan traditions, the environment and contemporary design, the event will undoubtedly continue to grow and gain attention in coming years.

The dramatic, often cloud-cloaked massif of 2543m-high Uludağ (or "Great Mountain") presides over Bursa, its northern reaches dropping precipitously into the city. In ancient times it was known as the Mount Olympos of Mysia, one of nearly twenty peaks around the Aegean so named (Olympos was possibly a generic Phoenician or Doric word for "mountain"). Locals insist this was the seat from which the gods watched the battle of Troy. Early in the Christian era the range became a refuge for monks and hermits, replaced after the Ottoman conquest by Muslim dervishes.
These days the scent of grilling meat has displaced the odour of sanctity, since Bursans cram the alpine campsites and picnic grounds to the gills on any holiday or weekend. Getting there has always been half the fun, especially if you opt for the cable car (teleferik), which links the Teleferüç borough of Bursa with the Sarıalan picnic grounds at 1635m, where a cluster of et mangals and kendin pişin kendin ye (cook-it-yourself establishments) await your custom. At the time of writing, however, a new cable-car line was being built and the entire teleferik service was shut down, pending its completion.
Much of the dense middle-altitude forest has been designated a national park, though only a few kilometres are marked hiking trails. In fact, the best part of the mountain lies outside the park to the east, where a few hours' walking brings you to glacial lakes in a wild, rocky setting just below the highest summit. The best months to visit are May and June, with wildflowers in bloom, or September and October, when the mist is less dense.
However, thanks to the nearby Sea of Marmara, the high ridges trap moist marine air, and whiteouts or violent storms can blow up during most of the year. Skiing is possible from December to March, though it's better earlier in the season than later. At around 1800m, there's a dense cluster of hotels known as Oteller, most with their own ski lift (day-passes TL15), and you can rent skis and ski clothes on the spot.

As well as having low cost resort staples such as lift pass, rentals and après ski when compared to the Alps, Bansko has also raised the bar on accommodation standards in Eastern Europe by building hotels up to five-star standard in recent years.
The ifyouski deal at The Emerald Hotel includes a saving of £72 when booked for Christmas week, with the price reduced to £487. Over New Year the saving is even greater with the price down £125 to £569.

Although she identifies as an artist and "conceptual entrepreneur," Martine Syms is a seasoned essayist. Her combination of personal anecdotes, expository investigation, and academic analysis is enigmatic, drawing the reader into the purpose of her writing and the rich storytelling of her written voice.
Born in Los Angeles and based in Chicago, Syms received an MFA in Film, Video, and New Media at the School of the Art Institute in 2007. Syms is the founder and co-director of Golden Age, an artist-run project space, performance venue, and bookshop. Rather than merely sell zines, books, art, and other ephemera from visual artists and critics, Syms – along with her co-director Marco Kane Braunschweiler – uses the space to engage a diverse community of design and art fans and practitioners.
Focusing on race, context, and form in Black cinema, Implications and Distinctions: Format, Content and Context in Contemporary Race Film works in large part due to the simplicity of its words and the depth of its subject matter. Syms' idea — that race film is both constantly evolving and utilizing methods of exposure implemented decades earlier — is complex, but the clarity in her thesis makes her work digestible.
"My family, my background ... it just parallels really nicely with a lot of social and cultural movements," Syms said during a recent interview. Her writing reflects this connection, using personal anecdotes to highlight the evolution of "race" film from its earliest producers to the more homegrown, independent, and online efforts of emerging filmmakers.
Implications and Distinctions is one of five recent releases from Future Plan and Program, artist Steffani Jemison's new project incubated by Project Row Houses that publishes the literary works of emerging visual artists. The clean layout and production of the book only slightly masks its purpose to present one-of-a-kind ideas and experiments combining the written word and emerging artistic practices.
Recently, I met with Martine Syms to talk about some of the points she makes in the book...

A fire broke out on Christmas night at the home of Christina Olague, a former San Francisco supervisor, and fatally injured her housemate and longtime friend, Randy David Sapp.
Now, Olague's friends and supporters are holding an online fundraiser to help her get back on her feet in the wake of the tragic event. A benefit has also been planned for Jan. 12 at El Rio.
Olague said she has been staying with friends since the fire, and doesn't know where she will wind up living in the long run. She said she'd wanted to be respectful of her housemates' privacy before making any public statements about what happened, and didn't reach out to many people initially because she was in a state of shock.
She told the Bay Guardian she had lived in the Victorian, located on Baker Street, for more than four years. Her housemates included Sapp, his partner, Patrick Ferry, and Olague's sister. She said she'd been friends with Sapp and Ferry for more than 15 years.
When the fire started on the evening of Dec. 25, Olague said, she was downstairs talking to a friend on the phone, and Sapp and Ferry were upstairs. "All of a sudden the commotion started," she remembered. It was classified as a 3-alarm fire, and both were rushed to the hospital with serious burn injuries. Olague and her sister were unharmed. Sapp died from his injuries the following day.
The cause of the fire remains unknown, Olague said.
Sapp and Ferry were co-owners of a Cole Valley shop, The Sword and Rose, which sells incense, oils, and books. Olague said Sapp was also a musician, and described him as "a kind, understanding human being." She said, "He gave so much to so many people."
Ferry is still suffering from burn injuries, but is expected to recover fully.
Gabriel Haaland, a longtime activist and labor organizer, created an online fundraising website to help Olague upon hearing the news. He'd texted her randomly, he said, only to learn that "she'd lost her home and her best friend died. I was just blown away."
The fundraising page, created on wepay.com, has raised nearly $4,000 so far from 52 donors.
"After a long discussion, she agreed to let people know this happened, and at my urging accepted that she needs financial assistance as well with getting a new apartment and getting back on her feet again," Haaland wrote in a statement on the fundraising website.
In addition, Haaland said a fundraiser is being coordinated by Sups. David Campos, Jane Kim and Eric Mar. It will be a Salsa Sunday at El Rio and is scheduled to be held from 3 to 8 p.m. on Jan. 12.

Babka (Noodle Pudding)
"THIS DESSERT is delicious hot or cold. It pops up slightly when baked and has a nice golden-honey color. Any type of fruit or preserves—cherries, apricots, strawberries, applesauce, etc.—works as a topping. You also can use a variety of ingredients in Babka—try it with raisins!"
Total TimePrep: 25 min. Bake: 35 min.
Makes12 servings
- 1 pound egg noodles or spaghetti
- 1/2 cup butter, melted
- 10 eggs
- 3/4 cup milk
- 1 cup sugar
- Cherry, apricot or strawberry preserves
- Cook noodles in boiling salted water until almost done. Drain. Place in a bowl with butter; toss to coat. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, milk and sugar until well blended. Combine with noodles. Pour into a greased 13x9-in. baking dish. Bake at 350° for about 35 minutes or until puffy and noodles begin to brown at edges. Cut into squares and serve hot or cold with fruit preserves.

unusual and filling, I liked it better cold when the flavors had melded. tried with raspberry jam. Will do pie filling next time.
Feb 10, 2011
Just wanted to clarify for those searching for recipes that this is a kugel, not a babka (which is a yeast cake). Also, a kugel made with spaghetti is a crying shame. Use egg noodles.
Feb 16, 2008
I've made this many times, both with and without raisins. Most of my family especially love the squares with a dollop of cherry pie filling, but I'm partial to apricot preserves.

I can't believe that the Winter Olympics are over!
How sad I am that it will not be until 2010 that I get to sit on the couch and watch the exciting game of Curling.
That game is amazing. It really gets my adrenaline up to watch a sport that the commentators described as a cross between a game of chess and shuffle board...All while wearing attractive bowling shoes which slide easily on ice.
It was just so exciting.
What will I do for the next four years?

Kellie dear, forget intervention over the CM tortilla's--you have bigger issues if you actually watched curling! Course all I watched was women's figure skating long program and the men's speed skating. I have my own set of issues!

text: Now, I only use my laptop to access my bank account, I dont do anything else on it (ie. download stuff, watch movies online). I use my PC for that.But recently I m starting to use it more for work. So A good friend of mine is going to install microsoft powerpoint on my laptop for a presentation of mine. He will install it in front of me real fast. I trust him pretty well. I was wondering if there is anyway he can somehow find out my password for my bank account or hack my PC? I dont have any program except for internet explorer and some norton, malaware programs installed. I never record my password on anything and I change it every month. also I have internet explorer on auto delete for all history and cookies everytime I close it. But Im just worried. I ve even considered buying another laptop and using the new one as my new way of accessing my banking info only. thanks

West Palm Beach, FL -- Consider a rotating mechanism, turning at about 24,000 rpm, with an end-to-end temperature differential of 1,300 degrees to 1,500 degrees F. Consider further that it carries a shaft horsepower rating exceeding 25,000 and pumps some 7,400 gallons of liquid oxygen per minute. These are the operating conditions for the oxidizer turbopumps that serve the main engines of the Space Shuttle-not a trivial design.
The original pumps for both fuel and oxidizer have served admirably with no failures. After each flight, personnel remove them from the Shuttle and inspect them. After two flights, the pumps must return to the factory for analysis, at a cost of between $300,000 and $1 million.
In 1986, NASA awarded Pratt & Whitney a contract to develop alternate high-pressure fuel and oxidizer turbopumps for the Space Shuttle Main Engine (SSME). The goal: Further improve reliability and reduce the costs of removal and inspection. While the liquid hydrogen (fuel) pump project was suspended for a time, the oxidizer pump is now in flight-qualification tests.
High-quality, fine-grained, investment castings in the new pump replace approximately 200 welds in the previous design. The seven welds in the new pump are all easy to inspect-many in the old design were not reachable for inspection. The new design includes no sheet-metal components.
Equipped with silicon nitride balls running in steel races, the specially designed pump bearing further enhances reliability. At the pumping end of the turbopump, liquid oxygen starts at its boiling point, -297 degrees F, and warms to about -250 degrees F.
At these temperatures, and particularly in the presence of liquid oxygen, conventional lubricants will not work. In this bearing, bronze-filled Teflon(TM) inserts on the bearing-ball separator provide lubrication through a mechanism called solid- film transfer. As the balls rub against the inserts, they wipe off a thin film of Teflon made by DuPont, which then transfers to the ball-race contact point.
"We have had tremendous success, beyond our expectations, with the silicon nitride balls in this bearing," says Program Manager John Price. "The silicon nitride is harder, lighter, and has higher thermal conductivity. This design reduces all the wear-producing mechanisms and also generates less heat."
Other advantages of the silicon nitride balls include lower centrifugal loads and lower thermal expansion. Their reduced sliding characteristic leads to improved fatigue and wear life.
A typical Shuttle mission requires main-engine firing for about eight minutes. The new oxidizer pump provides a design life of 55 missions or about 7.5 hours of operation.
Silicon nitride balls are also candidates for the cryogenic end of the liquid-hydrogen turbopump. Operating conditions resemble those found in the oxidizer pump, but liquid hydrogen is some 100 degrees F colder than liquid oxygen. Development has resumed on the fuel pump, and the schedule calls for first flight in September 1997.

2012-11-12: Information Station Column
The Sioux Center Public Library offers a wide variety of programs for babies, preschoolers, grade school children, and teens. We like to hear the pitter patter of little feet in the library. But do we only care about children here in the library?

The book club generally meets the third Saturday of the month, and over the past year we've discussed books from many genres, fiction and non-fiction alike. Honestly, the group that comes to this book club is so much fun that I can't believe I get paid to lead it! (Come and join us sometime if you want to see for yourself!) Adult Book Club, however, is not the only program we have going for adults. See the list below to find out what else we have for you at the library:
Christmas Crafts and Coffee – Saturday, December 8, 9:00-11:00 a.m. – Come enjoy a cup of coffee and put together a variety of lovely Christmas decorations out of old books for your home or to use as gifts.

Digging to America by Anne Tyler
I have always heard that Anne Tyler's books are gems, but until a few weeks ago, I had yet to experience her writing for myself. I often choose books for our book club to read based on what I've had on my reading list for a while (shh, don't tell the book club). So, it made sense to me to put something by Anne Tyler on the list so that I could finally ascertain for myself whether her writing was all it was cracked up to be.
It was. This book, Digging to America, is both a story of immigration and assimilation and a story of adoption. Two little girls are adopted from Korea by two very different families: an American family and an Iranian-American family. The book follows the girls as they grow from infants into young children. But even more, the story follows the two families as they grow closer despite their obvious differences.
The story itself is a little bit slow. Not a lot happens. But the trick with Anne Tyler's writing is that you don't realize that not a lot is happening. Her characters are so rich, so vivid, so very human, that you get caught up in their lives, mundane or not. All of her characters have quirks; Tyler doesn't shy away from the flaws of human nature. But her characters are also lovable, and through reading about them, I become more accepting of my own quirks and the personality quirks I see in others. Overall, I highly recommend Digging to America.

We'll start with the cons - we don't like the fan controller. There is no reason whatsoever that makes sense for such a move. In future versions we would like to see adapters for the graphics-card fan-connectors. Also, the installation of the cooler is fiddly and to have stud bolts with screw nuts as the first Setsugen had would have made installation much easier. Furthermore, the installation instruction sheet is a joke with such small letters that you may have to use a magnifying glass. A small CD with a real manual would be the better choice. Due to the size of the cooler with its rather unusual design, you'll need a case which offers 5cm space to the door otherwise the cooler won't fit. That's a down compared to the first Setsugen which fit in any case.
However, and we really do love those "howevers", once you have installed the cooler the results speak for themselves. HD6870 is a midrange card roughly as fast as the older HD5850 and with the TDP slashed by 20W, but even the lowest fan settings on Setsugen 2 offer sufficient and inaudible cooling. The product is certified to cool anything up to GTX 470 series. You may even install it on GTX 480/580 cards, but the VRM portion is located on the left side of the card, so you need to cool that seperately. The installation on a HD6970 should be possible because the fan will cover the VRM portion, although you may need to improvise with the heatsinks and set a higher fan-speed. Even at 1000rpm or with any 25mm fan running at similar speed - the cooler stays very quiet.
The cooler will be released in Europe and USA on December 3rd and should retail about €35,- to €40,- which is not cheap but justified. The first listings have appeared and you can check them out here.
There are a few quirks, yes, but actual performance is flawless. So, if you want impressive cooling without the common noise, then Fudzilla Recommended Scythe Setsugen 2 should definitely be among the first on your list.

Super Mario Galaxy takes the Mario action you know and love and transports it into a world of gravity-defying levels set amid the stars. Whether you're a Mario master or playing one of his adventures for the first time, you'll actively jump from planet to planet with the motion-sensing and pointing capabilities of the controller. Mario's newest move, the spin move which is performed by giving the Wii Remote a quick shake. It's the most versatile move in the game and can aide Mario in his many discoveries. On top of all this you'll find stellar graphics and spot-on camera controls.
Super Gamer Dude
Nintendo Wii
No matter what else comes out for a Nintendo, each of them is always remembered by the Mario game or games that came out for that system. For most systems this was a great thing, but the GameCube's Mario game, Super Mario Sunshine, has been dismissed by both critics and consumers as one of the worst 3D Mario games ever made. Can Super Mario Galaxy show the world that Sunshine was just a hiccup in an otherwise stellar franchise?
The short answer to this question is a resounding yes, but lets look at the reasons why. By setting Super Mario Galaxy in space, the game designers found it much easier to each world (level) from each other visually and stylistically. That said, the best thing about this clear separation between each world is that they can each have their own distinct rules. Past games have done this to some extent, but every level in Super Mario Galaxy looks one hundred percent unique and interesting.
Super Mario Galaxy also ditches the extremely gimmicky water backpack from Super Mario Sunshine in favor of a much more tradition 3D platforming style of gameplay. However, the game adds a new kind of collectible called star bits that requires you to point at them on the screen to collect them. I'm sure that Nintendo felt obligated to make use of the system's motion controls, but for games like this, they often just detract from the overall experience.
Thankfully, the sometimes odd motion controls don't take away from the gameplay as a whole. Like most 3D Mario games, Super Mario Galaxy manages to walk the line between being too easy and being too hard. I never felt like I was just breezing through the worlds, but I also never felt like I was being unjustly punished by unforgiving level design, at least for required levels. Some optional levels are certainly crazy hard, but that's the point.
Of course, Super Mario Galaxy is not without its weak spots. Practically every new suit that the game introduces handles terribly, particularly the spring suit. Like any Mario game, the story seems silly and tacked on to the point where you wonder why Nintendo even bothers to write a story for any of their games in the first place. But to be honest, these are minor nitpicks when we're talking about the best game available for the Wii right now.
Super Mario Galaxy sets an incredibly high bar for other games that come out on the Wii, and I certainly hope that they are able to match it, because if they can, the Wii will be able to truly give the Xbox 360 and the PS3 a run for their money when it comes to software. Moreover, Super Mario Galaxy picks the Mario series of 3D platformers back up after they fell so hard in Sunshine, and now I am once again looking forward to whatever Nintendo comes up with for Mario during their next time up at bat.

On of our users requested an update with a HD4890, which should be a little hotter compared to the HD6870. Our HD4890 is clocked at 850MHz for the core and 975MHz for the memory. Overclocked versions will of course get hotter. We were pretty impressed with the results so we didn't bother testing at 2000rpm.
HD4890 idle temperatures:
Idle temperatures at 760rpm.
Of course lower with 1000rpm.
Idle temperatures with a 25mm fan at 1000rpm.
HD4890 Furmark:
760rpm; indeed very impressive.
At 1000rpm 5°C less.
The 25mm fan at 1000rpm is of course the best.
Lost Planet 2:
At 760rpm we nearly hit Furmark temperatures, but nothing to worry about.
1000rpm; on par with Furmark.
The 25mm is, as usual, the most efficient.

(i m seniorita in that forum )
Plushy at Europeans
Well what can I say!
Apologies as this could probably go in the Men's LP thread but since I'm having to do a U-turn on my opinion of Pluschenko I think it does deserve its own thread (just for seniorita).
I have to admit to being blown away by his skating live. His presence on the ice was matched by not a single other skater at the event. His command of the ice, of the performance, of all of his movement is really electric to behold live. I seriously never thought I would write those words but it is true. His jumps are even more phenomenal in person, and while his spins on the competitive ice were only so-so (really just his back camel as the sit spins were not only all the way down but fast), in practice he can hit the positions and keep up the speed in a way that didn't happen in the competition.
There's a lot to say for someone stepping onto the ice like they are already the champion and skating like they've already won, everyone else seemed hesitant (with the exception of Amodio who was also great).
Watching live for the first time also made me see how strong persoinalities really project to the back of the stadium in a way that you don't see on TV because the cameras have you right up close. I guess it is the difference of a theatre actor compared to a tv actor - a simple facial expression can make a skating performance wonderful on TV but makes absolutely no difference from the 15th row of the live audience.
Anyway - maybe i'll be a new fan just for seniorita!
PS: meeting seniorita was probably the highlight of the whole competition! She is just as fun and great company as you would imagine! We needed a broomstick to get her down from ceiling after Plushy won, and it was really great to see!
When people like Antony aknowledge the greatness of Evgeni, it is more than enough for me,he celebrated Plushy win like the biggest fan!
Also I ve been reading fsu and GS forums, you cant believe how many are blown away by Plush performance. Chan fans are worried

These only serve to further highlight the authenticity and unique beauty of leather.
Over time, your leather bag won't look the same as it does today. That's part of leather's unique appeal. Leather ages beautifully, each product taking on its own patina (a deep, natural luster) as the leather ages.
Leather fades naturally over time. Periodical cleaning and maintenance will protect your leather products from stains and extend its life. A general rule of thumb is to moisturize your bag and avoid excessive cleaning using chemicals as it can speed up the fading process.
Do not expose the products to sunlight or expose them to heat.
In the products used in suede, the color of these parts may vary depending on use, light friction and may be darkened.
Some of the leather and suede products should not be used under heavy rain as they can give paint.
Thank you,

Splinter and The Grudge 3 director Toby Wilkins will helm Dead Sand, a zombie/war thriller that will start shooting in March 2013 in Morocco.
Bernie Stern and Jay Thames are producing for their 77 Films.
Stealth Media Group is handling global sales and Stealth's Spice Factory production arm will serve as co-producer.
The cast will be announced soon.
The story is about a special forces team transporting an escaped terrorist who are ambushed by zombies.
The writers, Max Adams and Brian Anthony, are both military veterans.
Wilkins said: "The story is simple and contained while its characters and set pieces have complexity that will elevate the film, blur genre lines, and deliver truly kick-ass entertainment, with action and scares playing alongside scenes with heart and humor."
Thames recently worked on The Power of Few starring Christopher Walken; Stern has worked on visual effects for The Pacific and Boardwalk Empire.
Their 77 Films is also working on paranormal abduction thriller Ghost Creek, TX; horror Halfs; and documentary Suburban Cowboys.

My family LOVES board games. We could spend hours playing Risk, Monopoly, Scrabble...we love them all.
I just found one over at Collateral Damage that MUST soon be in our collection.
From the makers of War on Terror: The Board Game, Crunch is all about the economic collapse going on right now.
Here's the gist of the game:
Crunch is a card game for 2 to 4 players that allows you to experience the upside of down. Placed in the role of a global banking CEO, you have to juggle the conflicting demands of your ailing bank and your flourishing bank account.This game looks like a heck of a lot of fun. With cards like "Bankrupt Country," "Rebrand" and "Too Big to Fail" at least it brings a little humor to the doom and gloom of the current state of affairs. It can't be any more depressing than The Game of Life.
Along the way, the game also replicates our modern banking system and foreshadows the inevitable collapse of capitalism, but that's just a bonus.
Here's some other gems out of the Crunch deck:
Let me know if you decide to buy it and what you think!

Irksome....veeeery irksome
I'm a bit peevish today.
I'm also apparently on a Top 10 jag...
10 Irritating Things in Moxieland:
1. My brother in law *forgot* to tell my hubby and I that their mother is coming up and staying overnight with us...TODAY!!! Suprise!
2. My mother in law is spending the night tonight.
3. I let Darling get *one* box of Cookie Crisp (after swearing my children would never eat Sugar Coated Gritties) and now she wants to eat nothing else.
4. People who think they are *sooooooo* open minded and liberal. (They are unless you disagree with them.)
5. People who invite me to join Facebook groups that I have no interest in. Maybe I don't agree with your politics/religion/world view/choice of pets or movies. Quit throwing #$@$%#ing sheep at me and asking me to be a vampire.
6. Undermining co-workers.
7. The fact that Handsome is looking more and more like The Dude from "The Big Lebowski". I understand he's growing his hair long enough to cut for Locks of Love (in memory of his aunt that died of cancer last year), but when I'm trying to make out with him and HIS hair gets in my mouth, it's just really irritating. Plus he looks like The Dude...sort of.
8. Weather forecasters. Snow at the end of March? $#@$ you, Katie Horner! I know you're using either voodoo or some other witchcraft to get higher weather ratings. Isn't rain/tornado/microburst season enough for you?
9. The lady who literally cut in front of me at OfficeMax today, plopped 20 items and a stack of coupons down and said, "Ok, I want to get the absolute BEST deal on this stuff." and gave ME a dirty look for daring to stand behind her in line with my 2 items.
10. Any company laying anyone off any of my friends. You suck.

Why I Hope Newspapers Never Die
I did something shameful yesterday.
I participated in a Death Pool, not for a celebrity, but for an icon nonetheless.
I made a bet on when the official death knell for The Kansas City Star will be.
My boss says by the end of the year.
My co-worker says by June of next year.
I say they'll go down to a 4 day a week format by the end of next year.
Unlike many celebrating the death of the "archaic media", I really hope it's never. Last week alone, 3 of my friends lost jobs in the media industry. You're sick if you find schadenfreude in other people being laid off. Shame on you. Those are jobs and people with families that the blogosphere and it's pay per click/impression ads will never support. (And those of you who force me to click thru my Google Reader to finish reading your content piss me off too!)
That being said, people are being laid off across almost every industry. Why is the loss of a daily newspaper such a big deal?
There are several reasons, most of them are personal for me as someone who pondered the idea of becoming a journalist many years ago. That's why I have a blog today. By no means is it a news source, but like most blogs it chronicles my own personal life (or what I care to share) and comments on the world around me. Does my blog have a place in the universe? I'm narcissistic enough to think so. Is it news? Not by a long shot. But it is my little opinionated nook of the world and you've bothered to be here, so here's my small minority opinion of why I hope to be reading a printed newspaper when I'm old and using a magnifying glass to read the words...1. I'll admit to a fascination with the arcane as someone who spent four years and a whole lotta money on a degree in history. And what better chronicler of American life is there than the daily headlines? These are literally snapshots into a moment in time...
I've spent hours and hours reeling through microfiche looking for historical data in newspapers and often I'd get caught up in the side stories and the ads from days gone by. In the future, how are researchers going to look for content? Web hosts post and unpost content at will. Bloggers start and stop their blogs every day. If you went to look up an Internet source from 10 years ago, I bet you'd only have a 15% chance of finding it.
2. I admit I have a vested interest in seeing a medium do well as someone who earns a living in Marketing. Ever since I graduated college 9 years ago, everyone said, "Oh, don't advertise in the paper, it's a dying media. No one reads the paper these days!"
I beg to differ. The Kansas City Star is one of my best sources for direct response, believe it or not. It's all in how an advertiser uses it. Those who still read the paper are typically intelligent, well-educated, active readers who are mature enough in their careers to have the disposable income required to purchase the particular products and services I advertise. I almost always receive a return on my investment with ads there. As part of a healthy media mix, the newspaper is still viable for me.
It's easy to ignore the right rail and banner ads of a web page filled with pop up ads. Advertising was never more annoying than when it hit the Internet. Those who abuse the power of online advertising give the rest of the decent web pages a bad name. Ads in a newspaper never play music or give you a filthy virus.
3. I think it's sad as the end is seeming to come to an end for several major metropolitan papers, most recently, The Seattle Post-Intelligencer (first published in 1863) and The Rocky Mountain News (since 1859). In a day and age that not even our baseball teams are all owned by American companies, it's nice to know at least the vehicle of our opinions and news are still American owned. These are companies that have been publishing on a daily basis for over a hundred years. While they may not go under all the way, a switch to completely online is a sad change.
4. Curling up with a laptop on a Sunday morning is just not the same as the happy, messy spread of me, hubby, daughter, cats and breakfast on the couch, reading the paper...I did this with my own family when I was younger and I know my family now enjoys it as well.
5. You don't need WiFi, a power cord or a battery to read a newspaper. You just need a source of light. Newspapers are the quintessential portable media source.
6. Just like talk radio is an important part of a citizen's forum in a community, the newspaper is as well. Yes, you can start a blog, yes a few people might read it, comment on your opinions, but nothing has a farther reaching impact than a major newspaper. Radio, tv and blogs may have wider theoretical reach, but newspapers, I think, have a better actual reach (remember the whole active reader thing?). A newspaper is a pillar in a metropolitan community.
7. Then there's the whole credibility issue. Anyone can publish on the Internet. That's a beautiful thing. I read several blogs a day, all completely different from one another in terms of content, professionalism and purpose. To publish something in print (and online too) and to be considered credible, you have to have verified sources, objectivity (or at least the semblance of it), and more often than not at least a college degree or years of experience. Snobbish? Yep. But if you're good enough to be hired and paid for your attempt at objective reporting or educated opinion, there's a slightly better chance of me taking you seriously.
8. When journalists blog, it usually sucks. Sorry, but it's true. Too many of them use it as a hobby or a sloppy, half assed attempt at social networking. They'll usually save their good stuff for their printed column. This is disappointing. Even some of the good journalists do this (not to say there isn't some really crappy, horrible writers out there who still somehow seem to get published). Until journalists get past posting the police blotter or sporadically posting their second-string columns, the newspaper will continue it's downward spiral. They also need to remember to cite their sources. Just because you're blogging doesn't mean you should forget your manners and give credit where it is due.
9. The world is polarized and segmented enough. As a blogger, I can choose and filter whatever content I damn well please into my Google Reader. Occasionally, I leave my comfortable nest of agreeing and dissenting opinions I've built for myself. But I have to work for it. As Simon and Garfunkel said, you "only hear what you want to hear and disregard the rest" With a newspaper, you have different opinions right at your fingertips. I'm more likely to pick up the sports section (when it's not baseball season) when a headline catches my eye than to click thru to the sports page on the internet.
10. I'm starting to stretch things at this point, so, to make this a nice round top 10 list, I'm going with the paper airplane/boat/George Washington hat/I need cheap packing material argument. Copy paper just isn't as effective in these applications.
I'm sure there are lots of people who disagree with pretty much every single thing I said, but, again, it's my blog, I'll spout whatever I want to spout. I just hate seeing an era end...
That's it, I'm done playing devil's advocate for the day...

Retro Gag: The HORROR!
I'm not taking a cop out, but the thought of Obama Fingers is just too gag-tastic! Worse yet?
I don't care if it's fertig gebraten (fully roasted?) would you eat your Obama Fingers MIT Curry Dip?
I prefer my president with good ol' barbecue sauce, like George Washington and Uncle Sam intended.
Worst blog post title of the week "Our President is Finger-Licking Good"
Those evil Germans! I'm ashamed of my heritage but oddly hungry for Sauerbraten mit Rotkohl und Knudeln...

Roger to the Rescue
This is beyond a doubt one of the most bizzare things I've seen this week. Roger the Plumber saves a pantsless woman (apparently a customer) from her house that was on fire.
Total kudos to Roger though. He's an absolutely stand up guy (if not overpriced in his plumbing.) I've met him a few times at various theater stuff in town (he's a HUGE supporter of the arts) and he's genuinely a cool person. "He's good people" as my best friend would say.
Thanks, Roger for saving the day!

Retro Gag Bonus: A Braver Blogger Than I
Since I was sick/dealing with a sick kid two weeks ago and promised an extra Retro Gag post, I'm making good on it today and offering up the work of Cleanser over at the good old days.
While I may just scoff and feel ill about the thought of actually eating some of my Retro Gag Recipe finds, this intrepid blogger actually cooks and taste tests them!!!
She's drank Hot Dr. Pepper, and even tried the Hot Dog Jello disaster.
The best part are the pictures. Seriously, check out her site. It's beyond awesome and chock full of fascinating retro-fabulousness!
Her latest act of bravery involves two of my favorite things: hot dogs and barbecue sauce (or the attempt at the greatest condiment known to man).
Sounds fabulous to a native Kansas Citian, right?
Check out her "Deviled Hot Dogs with Frenchwise Barbecue Sauce" voyage.
She says it's not bad.
Meh...I'll stick with my Gates.

Proof He Leaves the Brookside Compound
Yep, During the Brookside Warm Up Parade last weekend, I got photographic evidence that the mayor (and his wife, dutifully at his feet) does sometimes show up in public (other than the library). Huh.
If you weren't at the Brookside Parade, and you were in town, I feel sorry for you. It was incredibly fun this year! MUCH warmer than last year!

Retro Gag: Homage to SPAM
Spam is one of the most controversial lunch meats in American History. Love it or hate it, it's an icon. I for one can NOT stand the thought of potted lunchmeat. I just can't do it.
For those of you who do enjoy the occasional Spamwich, this may not be that gross to you, but for me it's horrific. Click on any picture to adjust it to readable size...
First up is Marion Ross' recipe for Mac N Spam...Oh, Mrs. C, I hope you didn't feed this to Richie... (from tvlandforums.com)
Cheesy Macaroni Bake
8-ounce package dry elbow macaroni
1 12-ounce can SPAM
2 tbsp. butter, divided
1 tsp. flour
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp. dry mustard and pepper
Dash of cayenne pepper
2 cups milk
½ lb. processed sharp American cheese, diced
½ cup dry bread crumbs
1/8 tsp. paprika
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cook macaroni according to package and drain.
Combine macaroni with SPAM in a 2-quart greased casserole dish.
Melt one tbsp. butter in a medium sauce pan. Blend in flour, salt, mustard, pepper and cayenne until smooth. Stir in milk and cook over medium heat until mixture thickens and boils.
Add cheese and stir until cheese melts. Pour over SPAM mixture and mix well.
Melt remaining tbsp butter and combine with bread crumbs and paprika. Sprinkle mixture over the top. Bake in 400 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
Continuing the horrors of Spam and Macaroni...from a 1946 Woman's Day Magazine...
Spam and Macaroni Loaf
Oh Jesus God, the layering! The broccoli! Ugh!
Planked Spam (Woman's Day 1945)
Spam, tomatoes and mushrooms, mashed potato rosettes? "You'll be greeted with cheers!" (I think that's a typo for jeers)
Spam Fiesta Peach Cups (Family Circle Feb 1956)
Let me get this straight...ground SPAM, mustard, ketchup and OATS?! You want me to do WHAT with them?
Spam Cake (from Charles Phoenix)
Apparently, Spam Cake is easy! According to Mr. Phoenix, a nice lady at the SPAM Museum told him: "Follow the directions for any white, spice, yellow or devil's food cake mix, but substitute grated SPAM for the oil."
If you can't handle the idea of frosting a Spam Birthday Cake (and that one above is damn impressive), you can always make the pancake version from this 1957 Betty Crocker Ad:
Ugh...what a wild Spam ride...for once I'm glad that Catholics are required to fast on the Fridays during Lent. Hope you have a great weekend! DO NOT TRY THESE RECIPES AT HOME!

The Recession Hits Sesame Street
Sad news from Sesame Street...It's pretty freaking bad when even Big Bird doesn't have job security. The Sesame Street Workshop is laying off 20% of it's workforce.
I've always truly loved Sesame Street. My siblings and I grew up loving it (Snuffy was always my favorite). I'm so glad that Darling enjoys it too, but I have to say that I would like to punch Baby Bear in his stupid, lisping face. If they're laying off Muppets, he should be the first to go. His little sister speaks more clearly than he does. And maybe Alan. I've never adjusted to Mr. Hooper's replacement. And Zoe. Zoe just irritates me. And that Abby Kadaby fairy? WTF?
Nevertheless, it's still a fabulous kid's show. I feel bad for Elmo & Co. At least Oscar and Slimey the Worm downsized early and aren't afraid of dumpster diving.
The truly tragic thing is what will the laid off Muppets do? Tear Sesame Street up with a gang turf war?
Maybe use the economy to teach kids some other hard truths about life? (Click on pic to read)
I don't even want to think about the very special episode where Snuffy tries coke and Super Grover tries some LSD laced flying...
Damn, it's a cruel, cruel world.
One bright bit of news for PBS is their new/old show. Did you know there is an all new Electric Company? Darling and I caught the first episode and while it's not the vintage childhood show I loved, pretty darn good. (Like Dollhouse, I'll watch a few more episodes and see where it goes.) When I was watching the shows, it was all re-runs and 3-2-1 Contact was taking over as the "science show".
Maybe The Bloodhound Gang could solve the mystery of what the hell happened to the economy and then explain it to us in simple terms.

Out of the Ashes, I arise once more, just to be worried.
Yeah. Stomach/Intestinal Flu sux.
You know you really love someone when you hold their hand for 45 minutes while they cry and have explosive diarreha. At two in the morning, no less.
True love, Constant Reader, true parental love.
I think Darling's over it and Handsome and I survived the milder bouts. I suppose a good colon cleansing is good for everybody every once in a while.
That being said, the economy is making me (metaphorically) sick to my stomach. Everywhere you turn in the blogosphere, someone is worrying about jobs, money, foreclosure, etc.
What worries me the most is how it effects children.
Darling is mostly oblivious to money right now...at four and a half she still thinks 5 pennies are worth more than a dime. We're working on it.
Is her generation going to grow up learning to save and be frugal or are they going to continue on a path of over-consumption and economic indulgence that my generation has grown accustomed to?
It's only in the last year or so that Handsome and I have been in the economic position to start majorly paying down any of the debt we racked up with our expensive degrees and the credit cards that were thrown at us when we were young/stupid/graduated.
By the end of this year we should be debt free other than our mortgage and student loans. That's a major accomplishment for us, but we've accomplished this by completely curtailing all extraneous spending, save the occassional indulgence. We're almost there, God help us...
We're working hard to accomplish this, and just a few weeks ago, while we were grocery shopping, Darling informed Handsome that the ice cream purchase he was pondering was "not in the budget, Daddy!"
This may not seem huge, but I never claimed we were living at the poverty level.
Neither Handsome and I grew up in affluent families, but our parents always got by and kept their financial concerns out of hearing of their children.
They didn't want us to worry about money. Kids should just be kids.
They were probably doing us a favor in their minds, but shouldn't kids have a better sense of family budgets?
Or is ignorance bliss?
What's the balance of stressing kids out about the family finances and finding a way to teach them fiscal responsibility?
I have a feeling this will become more and more important if the economy continues in the same direction it seems to be heading.

Sickly, but Funny
Yep. Still out sick. Darling's getting a little better and Handsome and I are hanging in there. Will return to normal posting soon, once the crippling stomach cramps go away.
Until then, enjoy the funniest thing you'll probably read today. I'd laugh, but it would hurt too much.

Retro Gag: Kitchen is Temporarily Closed
Sorry guys, nothing disgusting this Friday. I'll post a Retro Gag early next week.
My daughter has been projectile vomiting (she'd make the demons in The Exorcist proud) for the last 2 days and I'm starting to get "that not so hot feeling" myself.
So let's just say I'm not really in the mood find gross things to eat, m'kay?
Thought to ponder: Why does my Daddy's Little Girl turn into Mama's Little Cling Wrap only when dealing with the High Holy 3 P's of Childhood (Pee, Poop, and Puke)? She wouldn't let me out of her sight last night.
Guess I'm just lucky, huh?

The Scientific Research Behind Belly Button Lint
Someone seriously spent three years of their life studying the composition of belly button lint.
I can only hope my contribution to the universe could be so grand.
It's something to aspire to. I need to obviously get my priorities straight.
