When you are talking to another character in the game, always exhaust all topics of conversation. Many elements of the gameplay are triggered by the conversations, and if you leave some topics unfinished, you could feel stuck. In addition, many conversation topics won't appear unless they are triggered by some action. For example, you can't ask about a locked gate unless you have actually seen the gate and tried it. You may select topics of conversation in any sequence you wish, but the most logical order will be realized if you start at the top and work your way down.
After the introduction, Kate is standing in the train. Turn around and go to the rear compartment, where Hans Voralberg is standing, and talk to him about everything. It seems the train needs winding. Exit the train, and go to the front in order to talk with Oscar. On the way, there will be a brief cutscene where you meet Colonel Emeliov Goupatchev.Find Oscar and talk with him. Hans said Oscar would tell you how to wind the train, but nothing of the sort happens. You must figure it out for yourself. Just to the left of where Kate and Oscar are standing is the winder. There is a wheel on the machine, and a lever next to it.
Turn the wheel to extend the winder. Then pull the lever located at the left of the machinery to wind the train. Turn the wheel again to retract the winder, and tell Oscar the train is wound and ready to depart.You didn't really think you would get going that easily, did you? Now it seems you must find a way to load the coal car. Go one step back toward the central platform, and turn right to inspect the coal dispensing machine.Kate can pull the lever, lowering the coal-chute, but something's not right - no coal is delivered. Go into the station, where you saw the Colonel enter, and talk with him. He can't help much; have to wait for maintenance people to arrive - maybe a week or two, maybe longer. Return to the Coal machine, and look over the railing. Talk to Malka, the little girl below. She's friendly, but not much help.
Go to the far south end of the platform and inspect the gate. It's locked. Go back to Malka and ask her about the gate. She still doesn't know much. Go inside again, and talk to the Colonel. It seems he has lost the only key to the gate, and only the maintenance folks can help. Return to Malka and see what she knows about a key. It seems she can help, for a small price. A bit of candy will encourage her. Return to the station house.Just at the end of the counter are three candy machines, how convenient! The only problem is, it takes coins to operate them, and Kate doesn't have any money. If you go to the back counter, where the Colonel was originally standing and working on something, you will discover a small key sitting there in a box. Take the key, and go look at the candy dispensers close-up. Using the key on the coin-drawer at the base of the gumball machine, the rightmost one, yields a pocketful of coins. You can place a coin in the slot on any machine, but only one coin is correct for a given machine. The gumball machine is now jammed, so don't bother trying to get something out of it. The middle machine can be operated by placing the second coin in the slot, then turning the handle. It yields a packet of Fish-Candy. The leftmost machine uses the fifth coin, and provides the candy that Malka likes.Go to Malka and give her the candy. (If you give her the Fish-Candy, she won't like it. You need the Fish-Candy later in the game, so if you gave it away, you can get more. You would need to retrieve the coin you spent. Take the key from the Gumball Machine and use it to open the coin-drawer of the enter machine. Spend it again to get more Fish-Candy.)
Malka ties the key to her balloon and sends it up to Kate. Unlock the gate and go to the lower village. Talk to Malka about everything.Examine the lower portion of the Coal Dispenser.Try to start the engine by pressing the button on the right. Koff-Koff. It's out of fuel.Take the empty Petrol Can on the left.Back away from the machinery, and walk to the left, underneath the train. The scenery shifts as you walk, eventually providing further access to the left. Walk along the wooden fence, again going left, although you have turned the corner, and are actually walking in a different direction from before. Go until you see the wooden gate, with a small barred panel. Click on the panel to talk with Ivan. If you are really observant, you can see what looks like a Petrol Can inside there, sitting on a barrel.Talk to Ivan about everything.Then proceed further left along the fence, until you can look closeup at a Cirkos poster.In the closeup view, check the torn spot at the top left of the poster, just above the letter "I".You can tear it down and enter through the gap in the fenceNotice the eyes peeking out of the crate? Open the crate and set Youki free.Ivan is distracted, and you can go to the Barrel and take the Jerry Can, leaving the empty one in its place.Exit through the gap in the fence.Return to the Coal Machine, and put the fuel into the engine.Start the engine, then go upstairs and dispense coal into the coal-car.Just when you thought it would be time to go, Oscar arrives in a panic, and tells you Hans is missing.
Go below again. Talk to Malka, who says Hans went to Cirkos' place.(I think it's polite to turn off the engine at the coal machine, but it's not really necessary.)Enter Cirkos Cabaret. Hans is there, looking at the mechanical horses.He passes out, and ends up in the train, in a delirious state.Exiting the train triggers a brief cutscene with Oscar. As usual he's distressed, but not much help.Return to Cirkos, and talk with him.Cirkos informs Kate that the Head Monk may be a ding-a-ling, but may have some powers nonetheless.To find the monastery, walk along Ivan's fence again. Keep going past the gap in the fence, which has been boarded up, by the way.Try to walk up the hill, but it's "Too cold."This is an example of another conversation trigger. (You can't ask for clothing until you know it's cold.)Who in town might have provisions? The Colonel, of course.Ask him to "Help" and he lets you into the attic, where there is a nice warm snowsuit.For privacy, go into the train's bathroom and change clothes.
Now Kate can climb the hill. (You can ignore the odd machine at the bridge for now.)Pretty spiffy sunglasses, Kate.Pull the bell cord. Kate waves at the Monk above, but she is not allowed to enter. Feeling stuck? Return to the village and talk with Malka about the monastery and her mother.Talk to Cirkos about everything, especially about the linen shrouds.Ask Malka to let you have a shroud. She gives you a token.Go to the machine at the bridge, and purchase a linen shroud. Return to the train.Use the shroud on Hans' face. Don't bother talking to him, he's still seriously whacked.Climb the hill again, and walk to to the right of where the bell-rope is.Talk to the Monk, who is doing laundry. It's a long conversation, finish it all.(If you have not pulled the bell-cord before, do it now and talk to the monk some more.)You must distract him away from his post somehow. Return to Romansburg.Go to the Colonel's store and ask for a birdcall. He gives you three; gold, silver and black.Return to the Monk. Give him the birdcall. The Gold and Black ones are no good.Give him the Silver birdcall, and he runs in pursuit of the bird.By the way, that is the same birdsong heard in the background in the Mayan region of "Beyond Time."Take a monk's robe and slip into it. Pretty natty - now she looks like Dorko in "Dracula, Last Sanctuary."Pull the rope again and enter the monastery.
As you enter, you can see a machine of some kind on the left. It's a candle-mold. Save it for later.Go straight ahead, and observe the Wheelbarrow. Nothing to do there now, but there will be later.Go ahead again, and find yourself in an overhead view of the central courtyard.Straight up is the way you came in. Two other exits are visible, one straight down, and one to the left.(The exit straight down takes you to a different overhead view - save it for later, too.)Take the exit to the left, and enter the chapel. Observe the locked gate just inside the door. Go all the way to the end of the chamber, and speak with the Patriarch.He is pissed at first, that you are a woman and found your way into the Monastery. Keep talking until he mellows and agrees to fetch Hans.
Cutscene from New York - Kate is being pursued.Cutscene with the Patriarch - Hans is in bad shape.Talk with him about everything.Walk through the arch, and enter the door on the right. Talk with Hans about everything.Exit the room and talk with the nosy monk about everything.He gives Kate a parchment. The last line is a clue: "The key is in the light of the Mammoth's eye ." Whatever does that mean?Exit the archway, and pick up the scrub-brush sitting there next to the bucket.Re-enter the Chapel, and examine the two frescoes on the pillars, midway back.The one on the left can be cleaned. Use the brush on the fresco, and a clue is revealed.Exit the chapel, return to the other courtyard, and enter the Library. The entrance is between the Archway and the circular graveyard.The Library is of spiral construction. Go to the right to reach the lower level.Pick up the lamplighter's tool, it's on a hook on the right-hand wall.Light the candles indicated in the clue from the Fresco. Think of a clockface with 12 at the top of the cross.Light candles 12, 3, 4, 8, and 9. The Iris window at the top of the spiral ramp opens.Climb up the ramp, and look out the window. It overlooks Romansburg.
Here's where you could really feel stuck. Open your inventory (right-click) and open the Documents. Lo and behold, there is a Stained-Glass Mammoth sitting there. Use the eye icon to examine it, then use the hand icon to pick it up and use it. The fat-ass nosy monk who gave you the scroll also gave you that piece of stained glass and didn't mention it.
Place the stained glass into the window. Now you need to control the beam of light.Clicking on the four shutters in clockwise order controls the diameter of the iris.Start with the bottom shutter to focus the Mammoth's image on the far wall.That is, click them in this order: Bottom, Left, Top, Right.Now you can go over there and press a button revealing a hidden closet.Pick up Alexei's journal and READ IT. It is full of clues.The clue you need at the moment concerns the Brambles and their healing power. Take the other object from the shelf, the Youkol Relic, and exit the Library.Enter the courtyard, and go into the circular graveyard visible at the top left.You can go either side of the tree. Go to the right, and examine the grave.It says "Alexei Toukianov" 1895-1996. Wow, he lived 101 years. Not long enough, I fear.The Latin means something like "The Holy Life Stole my Science."Go to the other side of the tree, and click on the grave repeatedly. Not a good sign.Cross both courtyards, and look at the Wheelbarrow again. Take the Shears.Return to the headstone, and clip the brambles.
Now go all the way back to that original machine where you first entered the Monastery.
It's a candle-mold.
Making the Candle1. Pull the handle on the left to heat the wax.2. Place the Brambles in the tank.3. Open the mold. 4. Take a wick and place it in the mold.5. Close the mold.6. Pour wax into the mold. 7. Open the mold and take the Herbal Candle.
Take the Matches.
Go to Hans' room. Put the Youkol Relic on the Table.Place the candle in the Relic, and light it.The Mammoths' spirits revive Hans. He is no longer quite so Blotto.However, he can't walk yet.
Go to the Chapel. Walk to the rear, and Surprise! The Old Grump isn't there, and you can go to the altar.Take the Ornate Key. Use it to unlock that grate in the front of the Chapel, where the Bells are.Pull the rope, calling the monks to prayer; even the gravedigger has to pray sometime.Go to the cemetery, and push the casket into position between the big rocks.
Go get Hans, and go for a ride. Woohoo!
Talk to Hans. He gives you the repaired mechanical heart for the Horse Automaton.Go to the Cabaret, to see Cirkos having not much luck teaching Youki a trick.Talk to Cirkos. He will appreciate your help.Go to the horses, and put the mechanical heart in place.Each hose can be attached to three different outlets. Only one outlet is correct for each hoseYou can experiment by pressing the center button on the heart and see which horses move.With no hoses attached, press the center button on the heart to wind the spring. It takes three times.Attach the hoses as shown in the image.
Press the center button again. The horses do their thing - Cute.
Oh No! The train is heard starting up, and it leaves Romansburg, apparently stranding Kate.Go up to the tracks.Pull that lever at the South end of the boardwalk, upper level.The track inverts, bringing the handcar to the top side.Climb aboard and it works! But not for very long. G into the store and talk to the Colonel. Birth of an idea maybe? Let's look for an animal.Go below and talk to Malka. Several times. She tells you what you need to know.Go to Ivan and Igor's place. Listen to Oscar's plight.Go into their living quarters, where Youki is sulking.Look on the table and pick up the old newspaper. A clue about Ivory reveals Ivan's real motive.Give Youki some Fish Candy and you have a friend for life. Now you can leave Romansburg,Optional - you can say goodbye to Cirkos, Malka and the Colonel if you like.
Go to the Gangcar, click on it and Youki will take you out of Romansburg forever.
In the Wilderness
Whoops, that old bridge, she ain't what she used to be. The train is stuck on one side and you are on the other.Might as well head on out. Ivan jeers from the train.Continue along the trail. You should see a cairn (a pile of rocks,) with a fish frozen in it.Further along, Youki spots a beaver gnawing on a tree, and decides to bark at it.Walk beyond Youki, and see the house at the bottom of the falls.You can't get there from here; must cross the river somehow.Looking at the house, search on the ground close to where you are standing, and pick up some brush.Return to the Cairn, place the branches under it, and light the fire. Aren't you glad you still have those matches?Take the fish to Youki. He is true to his stomach.The beaver is brave enough to finish his work, and you can cross.Continue along the trail. Pass the little pile of logs, and come to a broken rope-bridge. You need to figure out how to get across.Can't go that way (yet) so continue to the house, getting a call from Kate's Mum on the way.Enter the house. Now try to leave via the front door. Woooh! Where's Davey Crockett when you need him?
Now your problem is getting rid of that bear. Look around the room for useful things.Look on the Mantel and take three items: The Russian Doll, a Hatchet, and the Fisherman's Guide.Read the guide. Orange Salmon's preferred food: Green Frog. Preferred habitat: Cold water, shady places.Before going out the back door (yes, it's safe) be sure to go to the kitchen counter and find the Creel.They call it a Fish Tank. Exit the back door. Go down to the dock, and open the tackle-box.You need to select one of the twelve lures. Green frog, remember?Then, you need to select a place in the river to cast. There are three, right, center, and left.Shade, remember?
Any time you catch the wrong color fish, Youki would be glad to take it off your hands. Of course, you could also traipse upstairs and feed it to the bear (through the window) but only the Orange one will please him.
That only comes to thirty-six combinations if you do it by brute force. Look for shade.It is the far-right place in the stream. Now look for a green frog in the box.There are several, three at least that seem to qualify. Obviously not the red or silver things.The correct one is the top row, right end. Catch the Orange Salmon.Enter the house, and throw the fish out the window. Ta-Ta for now, bear.Important. When you exit the house, pick up the fish bones left behind by the bear.They are found under the fence. (Improbable of course, bears eat fish whole.)Actually, if you don't take them, there will be more available when you really need them.
Take the trail to the left and return to the broken rope-bridge.Use the Hatchet to cut the rope with wooden plate attached.Swing the rope over the branch. Eeeek! Hope it holds!Youki jumps too. Continue, watch Youki chase the Harfang (Owl) then the cinematic.Those two bozos, Ivan and Igor are back, and trying to kill Kate. Boris (remember him from the first game?) sacrifices his plane to save Kate's life.Got to climb the ice-cliff. Can't get started? Use the hatchet. Here are the moves:Hatchet, up, up, right, rightup, up, up, up, left, left, left, left up, up. right, right up, up, right, right, up, up, up, up - done.Easier to read like this? U2, R2, U4, L4, U2, R2, U2, R2, U4.At the fork, up-right takes you to a view of the train. It's much too far away.Left takes you to the wreck. Go past the wreck, to find Boris has bailed out.He's hanging from a tree, and asleep, no less! (His 'chute straps must be more comfortable than mine!)He can't hear Kate yell because he's still wearing the headset. She needs to figure out how to talk through the earphones.
Look in the cockpit. Turn on the power with the switch at the upper left.Note that A and B are both on. To solve this puzzle, only one at a time will work.Turn B off. Go to the lower left, and insure that both toggle switches under 1, 2, and 3 are on.You should see the green light to the left of the toggle switches.Flip 1 and 2 up, and 3 down. You should see "03" in the display at the top.
This is half the information you need.
Now turn A off, and B on. Flip 1 down, and 2 and 3 up.You should see "28" in the display. This is the remainder of the clue.Exit the airplane, backtracking until you are at the fork. Exit the area to screen-bottom.Those brutes almost run Kate over with the Snow-Sled.Follow the track to the Antenna tower and shed. Enter the shed.Turn the power on the radio (that's the thing with eight red buttons.)Use the buttons to enter the frequency you learned - 0328.Press the button at the base of the microphone. Kate wakes up Boris.Go to Boris and talk to him. You need to figure out the coordinates, so that if youuse the ejector seat, it will send you in the right direction.Look in the cockpit. The controls for the ejector seat are now open, at the left.Ignore all the other switches you used before.The horizontal and vertical coordinates can be put in the display, then pressing the button -Or maybe it's Azimuth and Range.How to learn the coordinates? Maybe the Radar can help. Return to the shed.
Turn on the power to the Radar. The switch is at the very lower-right of the square green screen.You should see the scan working. It starts out showing the upper left quadrant.You want to scan the lower right quadrant. That's the direction the train lies in.Climb the tower and rotate the antenna. It takes two turns from its original position.Scanning the Southeast quadrant reveals a blip. You can hear it beep too! Hey, maybe it's Sonar.Anyway, read the coordinates; 80 and 17. Go to the plane.Put those numbers in, push the button and enjoy the ride.Yikes! I wouldn't want to do that every day. Enter the engine. On the way, the Colonel calls.Click on the engine's controls and listen to what Kate says. "Nothing works without the key."Looks like you have to find the key. Go toward the passenger car.Whoops - what's that sticking out of the snow? Pull on it, only to discover Oscar buried there.Talk to him, then enter the passenger car. Go through the car to Hans' bedroom. Find the Plans on the floor.Continue to the rear of the car and find the Oil Dispenser. It's on the floor, under the fallen door.Oil the Tin Man, Dorothy. He feels better, and goes to the Engine, telling Kate to get in the car.Ooops, the train appears to be stuck on the collapsed bridge.Go to the engine and talk with Oscar. Listen carefully to what he says about the panel:"Call me when you find it."Go into the passenger car and find the panel. It's where the pedestal was, before it tipped over.Call Oscar on the phone, and he opens the panel. The sliders control two or three bars at a time.
You must get all of them open.
Just click on the middle slider and both end sliders.
The train is freed, and ends up near the entrance to the Youkol village.Go around to the other side of the locomotive, and find Igor standing there, that Great Oaf.He is afraid of the evil spirits, which is actually the sound of the wind whistling in the totem.Go back to the front of the locomotive, and toward the Totem.Try to climb the slope. It's too slippery. Inspect the Sno-Bike. Look in the saddle bag to find the Gauze Blanket.Put the blanket into the Totem's mouth to silence it.Talk to Igor again, and he doesn't hear the spirits any more. He is able to leave.Look where the Sno-Cat was parked - and find the Crampons.(In a previous play of this game, I was able to talk to Igor about the Crampons.)Notice the Harfang sitting there, keeping an eye on Kate.Now that you have crampons, climb the hill. Oh no, it's Ivan the Terrible again.I've about had it right up to here with that dude.Talk to him, again and again until the conversations are finished.Try to examine the sled at the top-center. Ivan won't let you.Call Oscar on the phone. He blows the train's whistle, distracting Ivan.Go to the sled, and take the Ivory Knife. Use the Knife to cut the rope.The sled slides toward Ivan. Yikes!! Just when you think all is lost -
The ice under Kate and Ivan collapsed, and Kate wakes up in a hut in Youkol Village.Look out the window if you like; it reveals that you are at the side of a river.Exit the hut, and talk with the Chief. After talking with Chief, turn around and take a set of Antlers from the basket. Exit to the right.You should see drums in the distance, and your friend, the Harfang sitting on a perch.Examine the perch to discover a hotspot. Something to do here, perhaps later.Continue to the lower right, away from the drums.In this scene, look on the ground, at the lower left. Find the Leather Strap.It combines with the antlers to make a slingshot.Go to the drums. You can talk to the two Youkols, but they don't speak English.
Koonooqmaat. TookToot!
You could try to walk under the drums, but as long as they are operating, you can't.Look at the image. There is a hotspot high up on the wall, left of the banner. If you have the Slingshot, use it on that spot. Kate will automatically pick up the pebble at her feet and bring down a huge icicle.The machinery is jammed, the drums are silenced, and you can enter the Shaman's hut.Look at Hans, poor thing. Then talk with Spirit Woman.
Talking with her about the dream world indicates that you must find fruit of laughing tree.Important - before you leave the hut, take the Prayer Wheel from the table in the left alcove.If you like, also take the Youkol Mask found hanging on the right wall near the fire. It's used later.Exit the hut, and continue to the spot where you found the leather strap, and once further in that direction.
You should see a device at the water's edge made of branches lashed together, with a crank.
Take the empty flask, and hang it on the hook. Turn the crank to lower it into the water.Take the flask full of water. Also take the Cork seen at the lower left.Exit to the left. You can see an enormous gate to the upper right. Exit this scene to the left,and see a railroad bridge very reminiscent of Romansburg.Under the tracks, there is a bridge made of tusks, and an illuminated cave in the distance. You need to enter that cave. At the entrance, there is a choice; right or left.If you look at the right side, there is a Harfang perch.If you look at the left, two steps in, there is another Harfang perch at the right,and to the left, an ice-wall containing a frozen mammoth. At the lower portion of the wall, there appears to be a tube-maze in the ice. Look close.
Frozen within the tubes are red berries - could it be - Fruit of Laughing Tree?That animal is not afraid of Kate. You need to send it through the tubes somehow.Maybe it's afraid of owls. Can you bring the Harfang here?Go to the perch. Hang the prayer wheel on the perch and spin it.Sure enough, the Harfang comes, and the critter is frightened into the tubes.Unfortunately, it hides in the lower right hole and quakes with fear. What to do?Take the prayer wheel back. Go into the other side of the cave and hang it on the other perch.Spin it to call the bird into the far side of the cave.Now the animal is out of the tubes. Use the cork to block the right-hand hole.Bring the bird back around to the left side.The little guy goes into the left tube, and up to the deep pocket. He is afraid to jump across.Take the cork back, and use it in the hole in the deep chamber.Bounce-bounce. That worked, but now he can't climb up the vertical passage.Perhaps he could float to the top. Take the cork back, and plug the hole at the bottom of the vertical tube.Use the Flask Full of water at the top of that tube on the left.Glug-glug, blub-blub. He makes it to the top, shakes dry, and fills his cheeks with berries. Yum!Now, how to help him next? Maybe he can climb a ladder. Put the fish-bone into the top hole.Yes! He tumbles down to the bottom, and unloads his cargo for you to pick up.Take the berries, and go see the Spirit Lady.
(If you missed taking the fishbone at the house in the woods, you can find one at the Youki's Corral here in the village. Just go to the gate of the corral and look on the ground.)
You have the choice of the cave, or an open path. Enter the cave, and find the Mammoth Doll.Now take the path. It's not a maze, just continue past the rowboat, through the woods to the park.Talk with little Anna. Then continue, exiting to the left. Keep going until you get to the entrance to the Voralberg complex.You can examine all the paths, but only the Mansion, at the right, is accessible.Look at the clock, It doesn't work. In fact, it's Sstuck!Go upstairs and try the attic door. It's locked, of course.Go into the parlor, and talk with Rodolphe Voralberg. He's not very nice.You need to find a way to get him out of there.Back to the foyer, and look at the clock. If you could set it to 7:15 - he might leave.
To get the clock working, read the time on the face. It says 2:45.You need to set the chiming mechanism to match the clock. Set it to 2:30 with the right switch, then add 15 minutes with the left switch.Wind the both sides of the clock by clicking on the little men.Start the pendulum swinging. Advance the time by pulling down on the right weight.Now set the chime timer to 7:15. Click on the bell.Mr. Voralberg assumes it's time to go to the factory, and he leaves, placing a key on the table.Take the key, and use it to unlock the attic door.Talk to Hans. Use the Mammoth Doll to get his attention. He slips in and out of reality, and finally disappears.Click on the table to return to the real world yourself.
As you exit the hut, check out the Dreamcatcher hanging there. (That's the circular webbed thing with feathers hanging from it.)It repeats some of the things you heard in the dream.Again you hear Hans say Oscar must open his heart.Return to the elevated railroad tracks, and again, go under the tracks through the tusk-bridge.This time, go the other way, away from the cave. (Down-screen.)Keep going until you come to a tall ladder.Go up the stairs, crossing left to right. You can check out the big winding device if you like.Go down the stairs on the other side, and proceed left (down) to exit the cave.Observe the cable lying on the tracks as you go.Talk to the Youkol dudes. Beek Metaal Nanook TookToot Naa!!My guess is they're saying: "Big Metal Guy Not Friendly" - Yep, they are afraid of Oscar.Enter the train and talk to Oscar. He doesn't want to discuss the heart thing right now.Get him to wear the mask and reassure the Youkols. Try to attach the hook to the front of the train. It's too heavy.Talk to the little dudes.Now they think he's okay. Metaal TookToot! Ask them to help with the cable.They attach the hook to the train. Examine it after it's attached, and operate the ratchet.With the cable under tension, the Big Winder will now function. Climb the steps, and pull the right lever.The train is pulled into position at the far end of the tracks.Great, but it looks like the track ends there. Now what?(Tear-jerker warning - You might want to have a box of Kleenex handy.)Go down the long ladder (there is one on this side of the tracks as well.)Enter the train and talk to Oscar about his heart. Oscar will bid farewell, exit the train, and walk to the Spirit Woman's hut. Follow himLook close at Oscar. His mechanical heart has twelve buttons, like a clock.Remember the 7:15 idea? Press the buttons at the 3 and 7 positions. The interior is revealed. To open it further, press the four cardinal points.12, 6, 3 and 9. Take the Voralberg Key that appears.Oscar has fulfilled his ultimate purpose; Hans had planned it this way all along.
Return to the engine. Place the Key in the top-center spot, between the two gauges.Refer to the picture. Operate the controls in sequence.
The ark is revealed. Remember the boat in Alexei's journal? - it's all yours now. Descend to the main level, and proceed toward the village. Go up to the large gates.The Chief is there, waiting to talk with Kate. He will open the gates, but not until Youki goes too.
Go to the Youki-corral, and open the gate. Now you can leave on the Ark.
Ooops - we seem to be stuck on the ice. Exit the boat. Go forward twice, and find the Narwahl tusk.That thing should come in handy! Now back away from there, and go to the far left.Find the anchor and pry it loose from the ice with the tusk. Now you can go.Return to the boat. Uh-oh, that swine, Ivan is back. He must have stowed away.You can't go to the boat because he raised the lift, so turn around and go see the penguins.Proceed all the way to the point, where you can click on the boat in the distance.Observe how the current carries the floating chunks of ice toward the side entrance on the boat.You need to get those penguins to move out of the way.Go left, and left again, toward the other flock of birds.See the nest on the ground? It has two eggs in it. Look in your inventory for an idea.Put the Russian Doll in the nest. Now it has three eggs! Call the birds' attention to it.The gaggle of penguins comes stumping over, and they gather 'round the nest in fascination.Return to the point. Eeeek, a crack forms behind you. Use the Narwahl Tusk in the crack to break off the ice-floe.Risking it all, Kate is carried to the side door, and enters the lower level of the Boat.
Ivan can be seen pacing around over her head.
Pull the lever once, to lower a rope slightly from the sail mechanism.Move the barrel so you can stand on it. Looking at the apparatus above, there appears to be a looped rope and a capstan of some sort.Go through the door, into the main cabin. Youki is there, sound asleep. Talk with Hans. Go up the ladder. That's where Ivan must have been hiding.Take the Ivory Hook from the floor.Return to the inner room, and stand on the barrel. Place the Ivory Hook on the Capstan, then attach the rope to the hook.Pull the lever to raise the sail. It has two effects: The boat is freed from the ice andIvan is flung overboard. He picks up an egg intending to throw it at Kate.The penguins are protective, and have other ideas.
You can finally be sure; that is the last you will see of Ivan.
You are there at last. Hans heads on down the trail by himself.IMPORTANT: There is a vital clue you may not have seen. Re-enter the boat, and go into the room where the sail mechanism is.Go to the other end of the room (down-screen) and inspect the wall.You will find two parchments. Make a note of the patterns associated with the images.Now you can explore the island.By the way, Youki is still sound asleep. There was something in Alexei's journal about hibernating Youkis.You will need to find something to wake him up.As you exit the boat, you can go two ways; far left or far right. Go right. Climb the ladder.Examine the man. No, it's not Hans. This guy has been dead for years. Take the Youkol Medallion.It shows Youkol symbols in their correct sequence.Descend, and go left and down the steps. At the bottom, there is a chest in the foreground.Come to the chest, open it, and take the three stone plates.You will find a forward (up) exit cursor, and one to the left. Left takes you back, up takes you onward.At the entrance to the tusk-covered path, there is a place you can examine, at the lower right.Take the stone plate, AND take the Syberia flower.Might as well revive Youki - go to the ark and give the Syberia Flower to Youki.Exit the boat, and go left as before, down the steps, forward and through the tusks.There is the gate, where Hans has been waiting. Pull the lever, lowering the mechanism.Youki has seen a Hamster-Cage before, and knows what to do.Tha gate opens, Hans walks in, and you have further understanding into Oscar's makeup, right?Follow him.See that thingy with the wheel attached?That will provide the key to operate the machinery on the other side.Look at it close-up. Recognize the pattern? It resembles the Youkol medallion, with some pieces missing.You have found four stone plates, and there is a fifth one there, at the upper left.All you have to do is put them in the correct position.Some of them are very obvious because of their shape.Exit the close-up, and use the wheel to spill some sand into the device.If the stones are correct, the Ivory Key will rise and you can take it.LOOK VERY CAREFULLY at the stones as you pick up the Ivory Key.A clue is revealed that helps with the next problem.Watch as ONE of the stone segments moves slightly as you take the key.It's the one at the bottom, slightly left of center.Climb the steps and talk with Hans if you have not already done so.He tells you to play the music that will attract the Mammoths.
Face the machinery. At first, you see a wooden panel, with a cross-shaped keyhole at the bottomUse the Ivory Key in the keyhole, and the panel opens revealing five rows of five symbols.Twenty-five choices. Not too bad, until you look at the rotating antenna above.Aww, it's Ssstuck!If you place the Ivory Key into one of the symbols, then you can turn the antenna.You realize it rotates into one of five positions. Each row allows the antenna to be turned to a different direction.Fine, that's only 125 things to try. What now?The clue comes from the stone that shifted when you took the Ivory Key.If you know the symbol on the stone, then you need to look at the Medallion again.The Stone symbol was in the 7 o'clock position. Find it on the inner row on the Medallion.Look at the symbol on the outer row. Then find the matching one on the bottom row of five.
It's the second from the left.
This clue came from the parchments in the boat. There were five clues, but you want only one.The picture of the man riding a Mammoth would seem appropriate.The clues consist of two rows of three markings.The marks are large, small, and nothing.The Mammoth clue shows Large - Small - Large on the top row.It shows Small - Nothing - Large on the bottom row.The pipes tuning device has two rows of three.Corresponds to the clue.Large means wide open, Small means half open, and Nothing means closed.Set the top row: open - half - open.Set the bottom row: half - closed - open.(If you haven't played with them, that is all are open, -click once on the top-middle, once on the bottom-left, and twice on the bottom-middle.)You should see a close-up view of the antenna, hear the pipes call, and the closing cinematique.If you don't shed a tear at the final scene, then I'll do it for you. Hans meets his destiny, and final satisfaction. Thank you, Benôit, for this wonderful game.

Jerry Zgoda missed the entire Kevin Garnett era, but he's back covering the Timberwolves after working the beat for their first four seasons two decades ago. In between, he covered a bit of everything: Gopher men's and women's basketball and NCAA athletics, golf, outdoor recreation, sports media and a little Vikings and Twins.
Kevin Love did not get clearance for contact play during a visit to his New York City surgeon and will be re-evaluated in another two to three weeks.
His visit with Dr. Michelle Carlson of the Hospital of Special Surgery determined his right shooting hand is "healing properly," according to a team release, and he will continue to increase his conditioning program while he waits to be evaluated again.
Two weeks would leave about three weeks left in the season -- or about 12 games -- although he likely would need some practice time and wouldn't go directly into playing games.
Three weeks would leave about two weeks left, or eight games at the very most.
Today's news increases the chances that perhaps they decide not to play him at all again this season, but we'll see.

POTTSTOWN, Pa., September 17, 2012 — Sly Fox beer is currently available in only New Jersey, New York, and its home state, Pennsylvania. That may not be true for much longer after a recent major expansion into a larger production space in Pottstown, approximately forty miles northwest of Philadelphia.
Old-timers might think of Pottstown as the home to Mrs. Smith's pies, created from a kitchen recipe in the 1920s and grown into a commercial enterprise, the private boarding establishment Hill School (since 1851), or the bellowing industrial property of Firestone Tire & Rubber (and later Occidental Chemical), just across the borough's eastern border.
Pottstown is also home to the once time-honored "cruising" of High Street. Cruising may no longer hold the same panache, Mrs. Smith's was gobbled up by a conglomerate, the Firestone/Occidental site has turned into a Superfund cleanup site, and the Hill School is attempting to recast itself into a modern 21st century boarding school. Attracting businesses to Pottstown has been a priority in recent years as the borough attempts to recast its image.
While Pottstown Memorial Medical Center employs the most in the borough, the rapidly growing Sly Fox Brewing Company brings 15 employees (more than twice that number at their original home in Phoenixville) to its newly incorporated brewery location in a commercial development just off the tip of the Pottstown Municipal Airport property in the northwest corner of Pottstown.
Recently, I was a guest on the Beer Yard's "employee, friends, and family" tour of the new facility. The beer distributor's owner Matt Guyer hosted a group of nearly 25 people who were there to check out the greatly expanded operations.
The new Sly Fox Brewery sits at an optimistic-sounding address of 331 Circle of Progress. But it is all about the building and the brews inside, and not the street name, that makes the recent opening of its new brewery the crowning achievement in Sly Fox's history that dates back to 1995.
The intervening years have seen Sly Fox grow out of its original location on the outskirts of Phoenixville and into a new location across the street in 2010. A full production brewery had been opened in 2004 a little farther west in Royersford, which has recently been closed in favor of this much larger production facility even farther west in Pottstown.
The new brewery boasts a whopping 30,000 square feet of space for the brewery's operations where once an office desk/cabinet/cubicle manufacturer once existed. Brewmaster Brian O'Reilly, Director of Brewing Operations Tim Ohst, and their staff have never had as much room to brew as they will now enjoy in their German-built BrauKon 50-hectoliter brewhouse. The larger brewhouse should allow the brewing team to efficiently triple their existing production.
A combination of 150-hectoliter new fermenters and 50-hectoliter existing fermenters will serve as the basis for a fermentation room that also has room to grow with the business.
Cans, as many are aware, have been an important component of Sly Fox's success for more than five years. A new canning assembly line will likewise increase productivity on the packaging end. Speaking of cans, as part of Sly Fox's introduction to Pottstown, the creative folks put together short video entitled "Welcome To Cantown".
One of the final major pieces to their new site in Pottstown, Sly Fox recently unveiled its Tastin' Room where customers can enjoy the fullest lineup of Sly Fox beer available anywhere along with a limited, but well-conceived, menu and home team sports on the television. From the Tastin' Room, brewery operations can be observed through large windows. Tours of the brewery conveniently begin from there as well.
Sly Fox is also no stranger to success outside of the brewery with its its extremely popular events, notably the Bock Festival and Goat Races held every May. In addition to this coming weekend's Kan Jam and Live Music Festival, the ample industrial park setting should provide a venue for many future events.
Sly Fox has a solid 15+ year track record and this recent expansion should position them well to take advantage of continued growth.

It's amazing.
If someone here on FTB starts a very hypothetical, very academic, "Gosh, does white privilege really exist?" sort of conversation, it will get 200+ comments.
Actually there is a reason for that.
Well two.
Academia is meant to create discussion. People discuss "Academia" all the time! This was a "What a tosser" post. What can you say here? I mean the discussion on this would boil down to "Yes Avicenna, this is Acceptable" and "No! You should join the Stormfront!".
But a story like this that confronts a real, bona-fide example of racism in the atheist community? (Like Sally Strange suggests, I take the source at its word— it's so not implausible for racist atheists to exist.) 28 lousy comments.
Oh we know there are "racist" atheists. See racism isn't always the white guy in a pointy hood talking about racial superiority of the Aryan Peoples. It's hard to hate these guys since they usually spell out their hate in crayon and mispel words. What you want to say to them is "Yes, yes you are! You are racially superior! Now off to your racist LARP meetings!" Because there is no punishment for these people greater than being themselves.
But the real problem is the subtle racism. The "Not Getting It" brigade exists on both sides. Well meaning people indulge in some pretty "racist" stuff. On one side you have people like JT Eberhard. JT did nothing spectacularly wrong. I disagree with Jen and Greta's responses because what JT got wrong was something he would get wrong because he doesn't understand how frustrating it is to be subject to that kind of question day in and day out.
Most of the racists are well meaning people who don't realise they are being silly. And yes I even lump the "No Cultural Appropriation" lot in with them because they often tell me that my "culture is being destroyed" when my response is "no. My culture is changing. No one is killing Tamil Speakers, Tamil Speakers are not teaching their children to read and write it.". I don't read tamil because no one taught me to do so. We never thought it was important and now we are whinging about our own bad decisions.
A white lady wearing a sari isn't a sign of the death of culture, it's the sign that our culture is robust enough that other people can partake in it. This is obviously diffferent from Miley Cyrus Twerking (I had to google that BTW) or actually nicking stuff from Native Americans because of DIFFERENT reasons. (The hypersexualisation of black women and the usage of them as props is a long standing theme in music, and native americans have in general had a shitty deal in terms of culture since people were actually trying to stamp it out)
JT Eberhard is not a racist, he just said something racist without realising what he was doing was not helping but harming.
It's almost like people at FTB (Pharyngula in particular) like to engage in a lot of academic, philosophical masturbation as they try to one-up each other playing "language gotcha" (all the while, constantly using ableist language— people are always whining [though they could have depression], or being blind to an argument [as though actual blind people make it a practice to be willfully ignorant] of which they're not aware) rather than confront examples of real racism.
Well that's because we have two very different ethos. My work has made me a lot more flexible and a lot more likely to let stuff slide because I have to do that. The people I would attract are those who understand that sometimes I will grumble about women having too many kids or parents who shouldn't have kids or that vein of things because I actually have to deal with the horrible things people say and do to themselves.
I am less worried about language than intent because I do not live in a PC World (Politically Correct, not the massive Computer Sales Store) but one where you have to do stuff. You can call me sexist if you like but the fact of the matter is that for many women, I am the only person willing to actually help them with issues that other people would judge them for.
And people understand and realise that actions are important too. What's there to confront here? "LAWL Black People are Chimps!" isn't smart or clever or funny. It's bad and we all know so.
So, what the fuck, FTB regulars? If this picture (and, despite the fact that the link no longer works, you can still find it via a google archive) were equally heinous from a misogynist standpoint, there would be 200+ posts, full of torches-and-pitchforks righteous anger, ready to doxx this idiot and send him/her packing from the internet for good and all.
But, yawn, this is racism. And racism isn't really our issue here. Neither is ableism. Neither is group mental coercion. Sure, we pay lip service here at the FTB— we always throw "racism" on that list— it's always #1, 2 or 3 along with misogyny and homophobia— and lord knows, we're ready to engage with a fine philosophical discussion about hypothetical racism against hypothetical minority people, especially if it entails precious opportunities to advance in the neverending "FTB Gotcha Contest." (Oooh, he said "don't be a peckerhead"— RUSH RUSH RUSH to be the very, very first point out that "peckerhead" is gendered! Gotcha! Yawn.)
Faced with an ugly, actual example of real racism? FTB folds its tent. 28 miserable posts since July.
So where are the torches and pitchforks? Let's doxx this idiot and send him/her packing from the internet for good and all. What do you say?
Actually the problem here is our front page.
The blogs are ordered on the Front Page according to who started what. So Ed and PZ Myers are always at the top. People rarely scroll down to see what's happening in the depths of the "British Dungeon" (Because the majority of Brits are at the bottom). Our webmaster is a volunteer and so making this change to something better (I assume the new front page will look like Skepchic's where the posts are lined up by date with the blog links down the side. Out of the hundreds of people who come to FTB I only get around 70 from the main page simply because of the design.
And the design was fine back when there were just a handful of blogs. It's not now.
I personally wanted something like Patheos's links at the bottom and perhaps a "Recent post slider at the top". But we shall see how our new system works out on the front page.
I get that PZ's horde is a nice, comfy place for a lot of people, but PZ isn't the only blog on here. If the well-meaning (and remember, intentions are not magic) PZ horde is so committed to anti-racism, why does Siviku Hutchinson's essay— the most recent essay on Black Skeptics— have at this writing a double-digit comment count? PZ's cartoon on the theoretical existence of white privilege gets triple-digit posts in a day, but the most recent Black Skeptics article on FTB requires a week to get 68 whopping comments.
Because PZ Myers "horde" generally goes to PZ Myers blog and rarely pokes around other ones because they are "his" readers. They have his blog on bookmark and our blogging system doesn't crosslink well. Seriously? Look at Patheos or Cracked to see how they do it. (If you liked this article then perhaps you would like these other articles too?) And sliders at the top that show other articles and stuff like that cause people to click on other stuff and catch their interest. Like "That Article by PZ was great! But at the bottom there is a link to Taslima's work with a handy recognisable graphic representation of her blog. I should see what that is!"
To point out the difference in the size of hordes? PZ Myers gets a million or so hits a month. I get around 40,000 to 60,000.
And yes we are trying to get that to become cross blog traffic too. PZ Myers regularly links to other blogs and gets people to come here but we are working on a permanent solution. The issue is our internet wrangler (that's the term right?) is a part timer and so these things take time. We also should have done stuff differently to start with.
It couldn't have anything to do with PZ being a white man and Siviku Hutchinson being a black woman, could it? Gosh, could some of your reading and posting interests be formed by racism and sexism? The gotcha's on the other foot now, isn't it?
How about some of you well-meaning (but intentions aren't magic) FTB regulars stop having hypothetical discussions about hypothetical black people, and start reading and responding to the black people that actually exist right here on FTB?
I am not black….
Indian though. Tamil/East Indian (Khmer) to be precise.
We need to get people to visit other parts of the site and the way this is going to happen is if we start putting up articles "by date" on the blog rather than by blog name and just have a list of blogs on FTB on the side so people can still go read and catch up their favourite authors. Also? A better cross linking system is needed than just a recent posts column on the side bar.
We are working towards a better front end to try and correct this, bear with us.

As an English teacher yourself, Julie, you should be able to give us your own considered opinion.
Which sentence is correct:
1) This year's theme is the future requirements of European business.
2) This year's theme are the future requirements of European business.
As an English teacher yourself, Julie, you should be able to give us your own considered opinion.
At first I wanted to mark sentence 1 wrong, but after turning a few pages I've found similar examples in Swan's 'Practical English' (p. 522): 'A serious problem is wasps.' And of course I know that in general the verb agrees with the subject of the sentence. Still I was not sure about this sentence - probably because of interference of my mother tongue.
Are there any examples in the English language where this rule does not apply?
Last edited by Julie17; 28-May-2013 at 13:16.
'This year's theme is...' is correct.
I cannot think of any exceptions to the rule, except perhaps 'The wages of sin is death', but there is an explanation of that apparent anomaly here.

The Washington Stealth
recently announced the signings of two key offseason acquisitions in Jason
Bloom and Jamison Koesterer. The
pair was picked up in trades this offseason with hopes of bolstering the
Stealth transition game.
The Stealth picked up Bloom in a trade with the Boston Blazers. He enjoyed a career season with Boston in 2009, playing all 16 games and amassing career-highs in goals (13), assists (10), points (23) and loose balls (60). Prior to his stint in Boston, the 6-foot, 205-pound transition player spent two seasons playing with the Colorado Mammoth.
Bloom graduated from Ohio State University in 2005, where he was a two-time team captain and helped lead the Buckeyes to a conference title and the school's first NCAA Division I tournament berth. Bloom currently resides in Mercer Island, Wash., and is an assistant coach for Washington State DII Champion, The Overlake School.
Koesterer was a first round selection in the Portland dispersal draft by the Buffalo Bandits, who then traded him to the Stealth this offseason. In Koesterer's rookie season with Portland, he appeared in eight games and recorded two assists and 38 loose balls. He emerged as the team's top face-off man late in the season, winning over 55% of his draws.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Koesterer graduated from Johns Hopkins University in 2007, where he won two NCAA Division I National Championships with Stealth teammate Paul Rabil. Koesterer is deeply entrenched in the Washington lacrosse scene as the Director of Operations for Walax. He currently lives in Seattle, Wash.
Bloom and Koesterer will be two of 34 players attending the Stealth training camp, which begins on December 5. The roster will be cut down to 26, including three practice players, before the team's first game on January 9, 2010 at the Comcast Arena at Everett. Ticket packages for the 2010 season are available now by calling 877-MY-75-TIX or at www.stealthlax.com.

Saints Junior Training Camp | Southern Education Desk 3-12-12
1:57 minutes (3.57 MB) Download
Students in the Monroe area are enjoying a visit from one of the state's most popular organizations.
Members of the New Orleans Saints training staff and dance team are teaching kids about fitness, education and football. For many of the students, the visit was a motivator to achieve high reading scores.
The Saints Junior Training Camp
at Sallie Humble Elementary
Second-grader Parker Kaneday has been learning how to throw a football from members of the New Orleans Saints organization.
He says working out with the members of the Saints training staff is inspiring, as well as a great time.
"I've seen a lot of kids doing their best and they're all doing their very best to do what they can and it's really very fun in there."
Children who achieved certain reading goals were eligible to participate in the training session.
Librarian Tracey Woodhead explains.
"They had to have at least a ninety-percent correct on quizzes that they take on books that they've read. So they have a certain goal each six weeks – they had to read a certain amount of points for their goal. If they got it, they got to do this."
Sixth-grader Brittney Davis met her reading goals, and got to spend the morning having fun.
"We danced today with the Saints Sensations. We've been playing football; we've been exercising and talking about the Saints today."
The eleven-year-old says spending time with the Saints organization is a motivational tool.
"It really does make me want to work harder so I can do stuff like that."
Andrew Remson is the youth programs manager for the New Orlans Saints. He says the football team encourages kids to work hard in school.
"Education is a huge thing that we stress. A lot of kids say 'I want to be an NFL football player.' We've got to stress the importance of 'you can be an NFL football player, but not everybody has the opportunity to reach that goal,' but there are other goals you can set for yourself that can be achieved by doing well in school: reading, going to class, paying attention to your teachers, maintaining a healthy lifestyle to get you to that point."
This message seems to resonate with students: both Brittney Davis and Parker Kaneday say they worked especially hard at reading to be able to attend the session with the Saints' trainers and dance team.
Lexington Elementary and Central Elementary in Calhoun are also on the Saints' training staff's itinerary.
Air Date: Mon, 03/12/2012

Effect of Chronic Treatment with Conventional and Organic Purple Grape Juices (Vitis labrusca) on Rats Fed with High-Fat Diet
Rent the article at a discountRent now
* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
Serra Gaucha is described as the most important wine region of Brazil. Regarding cultivars widespread in the Serra Gaucha, about 90 % of the area is occupied by vines of Vitis labrusca that is the most important specie used in grape juice production. The objective of this study was to investigate the antioxidant and neuroprotective effect of chronic intake of purple grape juice (organic and conventional) from Bordo variety (V. labrusca) on oxidative stress in different brain regions of rats supplemented with high-fat diet (HFD) for 3 months. A total of 40 male rats were randomly divided into 4 groups. Group 1 received a standard diet and water, group 2 HFD and water, group 3 HFD and conventional grape juice (CGJ), and group 4 HFD and organic grape juice (OGJ). All groups had free access to food and drink and after 3 months of treatment the rats were euthanized by decapitation and the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum isolated and homogenized on ice for oxidative stress analysis. We observed that the consumption of calories in HFD and control groups, were higher than the groups supplemented with HFD and grape juices and that HFD diet group gain more weight than the other animals. Our results also demonstrated that HDF enhanced lipid peroxidation (TBARS) and protein damage (carbonyl) in cerebral cortex and hippocampus, reduced the non-enzymatic antioxidants defenses (sulfhydryl) in cerebral cortex and cerebellum, reduced catalase and superoxide dismutase activities in all brain tissues and enhanced nitric oxide production in all cerebral tissues. CGJ and OGJ were able to ameliorate these oxidative alterations, being OGJ more effective in this protection. Therefore, grape juices could be useful in the treatment of some neurodegenerative diseases associated with oxidative damage.

Bears' Matt Forte is all for more touch football
BY SEAN JENSEN email@example.com October 30, 2012 10:38PM
RUNNING BACKS: B - Matt Forte gained 44 yards on his first 4 carries, including a 13-yard TD run. He finished with 70 yards on 15 carries (4.7 avg). He also had five reception for 24 yards. Michael Bush had 3 carries for 5 yards.

Running back Matt Forte is on pace to finish with a career low in catches and receiving yards, and he's projected to wind up just a few yards short of 1,000 rushing yards.
Among NFL running backs, Forte is 21st in total touches. He has 67 fewer than league leader Arian Foster of the Houston Texans.
Forte has 95 carries (20th), which is 56 fewer than the Minnesota Vikings' Adrian Peterson.
Against the Carolina Panthers — a team he'd averaged 154.3 rushing yards against in three previous games — Forte averaged 4.7 yards but was handed the ball just 15 times. Jay Cutler, who was having an off day, attempted 28 passes despite shaky pass protection (six sacks).
But Forte isn't about to complain, given the team's 6-1 start.
"I never question our play-calling. It's about the flow of the game," Forte said. "It's easy to say it afterwards, 'Yeah, I should have gotten 25 or 30 touches.' But when we got down 19-7, we had to start throwing the ball.
"But if we start off early running, like we did, then we shouldn't abandon the run game."
Forte, though, understood what happened Sunday.
On the first series, Forte had two runs for 15 yards, including a nine-yarder on a first down. On the next play, Cutler was intercepted attempting a post pattern to a double-covered Brandon Marshall.
On the first carry of the second series, Forte had a 16-yard gain, followed by an 18-yard catch by Marshall. Then, two plays later, Forte sprinted 16 yards for a touchdown.
Thereafter, Forte didn't get the ball as much, a combination of the Panthers building a lead, backup Michael Bush rotating into the game, turnovers and penalties and the Bears dialing up more pass plays.
But on Monday, Bears coach Lovie Smith said Forte should have gotten the ball more.
"I think when you have a special player like that, of course we need to get him the ball more, and we'll try that," Smith said. "But you can say that about a few of our players."
At the current pace, Forte will finish this season with 41 catches for 306 yards. On average, Forte caught 55 passes for 496 yards in previous seasons. Forte twice led the team in receptions, and he was tied for the lead in another season.
But Forte doesn't mind getting fewer passes thrown his way.
"The last four years, I've been the main targeted receiver," he said. "But now we've got Brandon and Earl [Bennett] and Devin [Hester] and Alshon [Jeffery], when he gets back.
"So it's not like I have to be the number one guy we have to throw the ball to."
Forte's greater concern is the offense starting to get into a groove and not relying so much on the defense.
"We can't continue the season like that. There are going to come games when the defense is going to count on us, and we're going to have to put up more points than we've been doing," he said. "We've got to take the burden off of them a little bit."

Nazri, Ibrahim (2006) Perceptions of Supervisors, Teachers, and Students Regarding the New Agricultural Science Syllabus for the Malaysian Upper Secondary Schools. Pertanika Journal of Social Sciences & Humanities, 14 (1). pp. 77-83. ISSN 0128-7702
The Ministry of Education, Malaysia has reformed the school curriculum in accordance with the aspirations of the general public and economic development of the country. The new curriculum for secondary schools was introduced in stages beginning in 1989. The agricultural science subject had its new syllabus starting from 1993. The new syllabus was supposed to be more technological and integrative as compared to the old one. The purpose of the study was to obtain feedback from supervisors, teachers and students regarding the teaching of agricultural science subject based on the new syllabus. Specifically, the study sought the perceptions of respondents with regard to various aspects of agricultural science teaching in upper secondary schools. The research was a descriptive survey, employing a mailed questionnaire as the research instrument. The study included all teachers and supervisors of agricultural science. On the other hand, student respondents were purposively sampled. The instrument was pretested, yielding a reliability coefficient of .80. A total of 511 (61 %) usable questionnaires were received and analyzed. The response rate was 194 (57.4%) from teachers, 85 (63.9%) from supervisors, and 232 (58%) from students. The results revealed that all respondents were in agreement in term of their perceptions of the agricultural science project. However, the respondents were in less agreement.in their perc.eptions of the accomplishment of objectives, subject content, subject performance, ImplementatIOn, students and evaluation. The study also revealed significant differences and associations between selected background variables of respondents with their perceptions. The research contributes significantly in providing insights regarding the present status of the agricultural science subject at upper secondary schools. The research findings are also useful as a basis for furthering development of the agricultural science subject.
