Titan Hati Review
Reviewed by: airman

Titan, as we all know, is very popular for its Fenrir series of coolers. For quite some time, the Fenrir TTC-NK85TZ was putting out some of the best numbers until it was more or less dethroned by the Noctua series that have been ruling the market. Even so, Titan is still a big competitor in the computer cooling market. Titan offers products such as heatsinks, VGA coolers, notebook coolers, and hard drive coolers. I recently discovered that the company also makes coolers and aftermarket fans for game consoles, as well as car AC power inverters. Operating under the Titan name for almost twenty years, Titan has continued to grow its company to over 500 employees and is capable of churning out two million units monthly. That is a staggering number!
So, we know the Taiwanese company has huge manufacturing capabilities, but can can it still make a good cooling product? In the hotseat today is another Fenrir series cooler, the Titan TTC-NC15TZ "Hati" heatsink. It looks to be a little sister of the original TTC-NK85TZ Fenrir, with one less heatpipe and a slightly smaller cross section. It does, however, have room for an extra fan, which the original Fenrir effectively did not due to the shape of the fins. The Hati is a direct contact heatpipe cooler that uses three massive 8mm heatpipes to quickly siphon many watts of heat away from the processor it is cooling. This review will feature a complete evaluation of the Titan TTC-NC15TZ Hati from unboxing, physical features, specifications, and an intense testing session on the latest hardware. Let's see how it does.
Closer Look:
The Hati is packaged in a glossy white box with the Titan logo at the top in front of a snowy mountainscape with a white wolf in the background (hence the name Fenrir, from Norse mythology). The Fenrir stamp is seen beside a picture of the cooler and underneath this is a list of the Hati's features. The right side of the box features a few pictures explaining some of the Hati's features, such as the direct contact heatpipes, the included fan, and the vibration reducing fan mounts. The rear of the package has the same list of features as the front, though they are in eight different languages. Finally, the left side of the box has a list of all the CPUs that the Titan Hati supports. Generally put, this is AMD AM3/AM2+/AM2 and Intel 1366/1156/775 compatible.
The Titan Hati is packaged with all the mounting hardware needed for both AMD and Intel sockets, two sets of noise dampening rubber fan mounts, the user's manual, and one 120mm "Kukri" fan. The Titan Hati seems to be very lightweight, thanks to its aluminum base and aluminum fins. There are nine blades on the Kukri fan, which looks like a lot, but is really no more than a lot of fans these days. The fan blades look more dense than usual because they have more curl to them, taking up more visible space through the blades themselves.
With the Titan Hati out of the box, it is now ready to be inspected under a close eye.
Closer Look:
The Titan Hati cooler is very comparable to the original Fenrir — it uses direct contact heatpipes, an aluminum base, and aluminum fins. Like the Fenrir, it has caps on top of the heatpipes to clean up the look of the cooler. The bottom of the Hati has a protective film that prevents anything from scratching the base during transit, which warns the user be sure to remove it before installing the cooler. Each fin of the Titan Hati has the Titan logo stamped into it, and cut into it is an aggressive and edgy design. It is a lightweight heatsink with a relatively small footprint.
As I've stated, the Titan Hati uses three direct contact heatpipes. The exposed ends of each heatpipe have a metal cap on them to clean up the look of the heatsink. Typically, the ends of heatpipes that do not have caps on them are asymmetrical and do not look very appealing. Only a few manufacturers have done this, one of them being Titan - showing that Titan cares about the subtle things. Taking a close look at the base of the cooler shows a base that isn't mirror finished, but pretty good for a direct contact style. The gaps, however, are a little larger than average, which surprised me.
The fan used on the Titan Hati is a slim 120mm fan that uses a 4-pin PWM plug. Each fan is attached using the included rubber fan mounts that slide into the notches that are cut into the fins,and are secured through the screwholes of the fan in each of the four corners. There are enough of these rubber vibration dampening mounts to mount two fans, one on each side.
Installation of the Titan Hati is relatively easy. The backplate is configured for the correct socket and is installed through the back of the motherboard, to which the hold-down plate will clamp onto. I found that for best results, since it does not use a spring mechanism for mounting, it's important to adjust the torque on each of the four nuts to make sure the base is perfectly flush with the CPU. Not doing this correctly could cause the temperature to suffer by up to 7 or 8 degrees, even if all the nuts are tight. This was a little bit of a pain, but my goal is to produce the best results that I can!

Testing and Setup:
Testing of the heatsink will involve applying a load simulated by Prime95, using small FFTs in stock and overclocked scenarios. Both idle and load temperatures will be recorded. Load temperatures will be the maximum value displayed in RealTemp after running eight threads in Prime95 for one hour, and idle temperatures will be the minimum recorded value by RealTemp with no computer usage after one hour. The temperature values for each of the four cores will be averaged and displayed in the graphs below. The ambient temperature is held at a constant 22.5 °C throughout testing of the Titan Hati, as well as the comparison heatsinks. All the data shown in the graphs below is in degrees Celsius. The included Titan Platinum Grease will be used during testing, and thermal pastes as packaged from the other coolers were used with each heatsink, respectively. Titan provided an extra fan for review purposes of this heatsink. I will not be including the results from only one fan, as the average temperature was less than one degree higher with one fan compared to two. The fans on the Titan Hati will be run at full speed for these tests.
Testing Setup:
- Processor: Intel i7 920 (Stock 2.66GHz and Overclocked to 3.44GHz @ 1.27V)
- Motherboard: MSI Eclipse SLI
- Memory: Mushkin Ridgeback 12800 6-8-6-24
- Video Card: XFX HD5870
- Power Supply: Mushkin Joule 1000W Power Supply
- Hard Drive: Seagate 1TB SATA
- Optical Drive: Lite-On DVD-RW
- OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
- Ambient Temperature: 22.5 °C
- CPU Heatsink: Titan TTC-NC15TZ "Hati"
- Case: Cooler Master HAF 932
Comparison Heatsinks:
- Stock Intel heatsink
- Deepcool Ice Matrix 600
- Deepcool Ice Matrix 400
- Zalman CNPS9900 MAX
- Noctua NH-D14
- Deepcool Gamer Storm
As I stated in the beginning of this page, Titan provided an extra fan to use a push/pull configuration for review purposes. I found that the extra fan did not make much of a performance increase for idle situations, and only pulled down the load temperature by a little more than a single degree. This may be a result of the high airflow in the HAF932 case, but I can't say for sure. Overall, the Titan Hati did quite well for its size.
For the overall weight and size of this cooler, the Titan TTC-NC15TZ performs quite well and comes close with the big dogs, such as the Noctua NH-D14 and the Zalman CNPS9900 MAX. It uses a very simple, minimalistic design that helps achieve its light weight. The massive 8mm direct contact heatpipes definitely accelerate the cooling power of this heatsink and help it keep up with the gracious amount of heat that the overclocked i7 920 processor puts out. Granted, judging by the performance of the overclocked load test, anything more than a medium overclock might give it trouble. The reason I say this is because of its small mass and low fin density.
The Titan Hati is a good choice for those who want a mild overclock with a well-performing, medium noise, cooling solution. It is far from silent and louder than many at full speed, but it isn't unbearable at 35dBA. I expected the Titan Hati to be very close to the Fenrir, which has one extra heatpipe, and I'll say that it came near it. If it becomes available at or less than around $40 retail, then the Hati wouldn't be a terrible option versus the Fenrir. Don't expect to be blown away by extreme performance, but you can certainly expect some Fenrir heritage with this cooler. If you're wanting something average and middle of the line, the Hati is perfect. Mid-range cost and mid-range performance at a mid-range noise level is what you'll get with the Titan TTC-NC15TZ Hati. If you're an average kind of person, it's perfect for you!
- Minimal design
- Big, 8mm direct contact heatpipes
- An extra fan makes little difference
- Not a great finish on the base
- Installation can be a little tricky due to uneven pressure

Trinity Street has heavy traffic almost all the time. You might expect it at school run times and commuter times, but we have been awake, yet again from 4.00 a.m because of a constant stream of traffic down Trinity Street. At least before, only traffic going to Beccles came this way, but now we can hear most of it turning into Wharton St. Does this side of Bungay have to be sacrificed in the interests of traffic travelling through our town? Doesn't residents right to a decent quality of life come into it? It feels like living in the city centre.

Designing a robust eco-monitoring system
In many smallholder coffee farms across the world, coffee is grown under a forest-like canopy of shade trees, which protect the coffee from the bright tropical sun. Since shaded coffee farms hardly affect local flora and fauna, original ecosystems are often largely untouched by smallholder coffee cultivation.
To ensure that we are helping to protect biodiversity in coffee growing regions, we need to measure the impacts we have on local ecosystems. That's why alongside our AAA Sustainable Quality™ program, Nespresso is developing a long-term project with IUCN to better understand the biodiversity impacts of our operations in coffee countries of origin, especially around coffee growing. A part of this work involves designing a robust eco-monitoring system to evaluate possible future initiatives.

I find myself frequently asking "Am I still in High School?" More and more, I am convinced the answer is yes. CCU is essentially a high school masquerading as an institution of higher education. The classes are not challenging, and consist mostly of busy work. They do not require critical thinking, just mindless regurgitation of information. If a class does require critical thinking, you had better say what the professor wants to hear or you will receive a poor grade. My high school classes were more difficult and more interesting. Not only are the academics sub-par, but CCU is akin to a high school socially as well. There is endless drama. Roommate drama is out of control. If you and your roommate do not get along, they send you both to counseling instead of letting you switch rooms like a normal university. The girls are always complaining that the boys are not interested in them. (Which is true because there are two girls for every one boy, but that is beside the point.) The girls will compete with each other for male attention. They boys are frustrated that the girls will not leave them alone and frequently complain about all the "crazy women". People have little motivation and complain constantly. So, if you are up for another four years of high school, go to CCU. If not, do not go here.

New York man in custody after police chase
A New York man is in police custody after a chase from Duryea to Taylor, police said.
At 9:09 a.m., Duryea police were pursuing a vehicle for a traffic violation. The vehicle crossed the county line into Old Forge, Taylor Officer Stephen Derenick said. Old Forge police then also began pursuit and followed the vehicle through Old Forge and into Taylor, where the driver started picking up speed, Derenick said.
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation crews were working on Main Street in Taylor, where police forced the vehicle into stopped traffic, he said. Police cars from Taylor and Old Forge boxed him in.
Officers gave numerous orders to surrender, but the man did not cooperate, Derenick said.
Officers used Tasers on the man three times to no effect. The man stiffened up and plucked the Taser probes out of his body, he said. It took a fourth Taser hit to get him out of the vehicle.
During the struggle to remove the man, three officers received minor injuries, he said. One Old Forge officer suffered a hand injury, a Taylor officer received a shoulder injury and another Taylor officer received a knee injury. Their names were not immediately available.
The suspect also received minor injuries during the struggle, he said.
The man is in custody at Taylor police headquarters. Police are not yet releasing his name and charges are pending.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The fog has lifted at Los Angeles
International Airport, and no delays are being reported there or at
other Los Angeles area airports today.
Yesterday, thick coastal fog delayed 19 arriving flights,
causing minor delays for passengers at the start of the busy
Thanksgiving travel week.
Some departing flights were also delayed by about 15 minutes
because of poor visibility.
An FAA spokesman initially reported that fog had shut down one
of two runways for arriving planes. But he later said that was an
error, and that the closure was due to maintenance.

Excellent way of looking at things buddy. And I for one think you are totally right. Death is not the end,It is a new begining.
i know time helps but i look at it this way there is no more needles for dad no more tablets or doctors appointments my dad is up walking about again he is the fit happy healthy man he used to be & that gives me some comfort in a way dad is still looking out for me & my family but i don't look at death as the final end i just look at it this way dad is in another room i just cant enter yet but when i can he will be there waiting for me and when i do get to see him it will be great.
if you combine every title belt from every company it won't match how brilliant my dad still is he was & always will be my world champion.
anyways thank you so much for your kind words you mate are nothing but gold to me & i value the times we talk.

With the annual drop dead/ renewal date fast approaching, just wondering if anyone has gotten an "invite" at this point.
A friend just got an invite to their annual renewal shindig at Gold Strike even though he is short the supposed million mark.
With the annual drop dead/ renewal date fast approaching, just wondering if anyone has gotten an "invite" at this point.
A friend just got an invite to their annual renewal shindig at Gold Strike even though he is short the supposed million mark.
One of my hosts sent me an email invite a couple days ago
Probably some glitch, but my TCs just doubled on the mlife site and I have been to any of their casinos since April 4th.
My invite to gold strike for renewal is for platinum
I/we am still 84k short of Platinum so I won't chase it this MLife year.
what is this you speak of? aside from the initial conversation a few years back when Mlife first launched in Biloxi and I asked my host about Noir and was invited, I've never heard of or been to any "renewal" shindig.
Bellagio host sent me an email saying I could come by the host office and pick up a new Noir card when I am in town next month (my current one has a September expiration, although I don't think anyone ever looks at it). Then last night I also got an email from my host at Goldstrike Tunica (probably the same email referenced in this thread above) inviting me there in a couple weekends for a renewal party to pick up a new Noir card and get a free gift (either shoes or some jewelry). So it sounds like the renewal party may just be a Goldstrike thing. Wouldn't surprise me. Seems like they have a Noir only event every couple weeks there.
My Noir card has a date of January, 2012 and it works just fine in the machines. I've never spent the time to get a new one and nobody has ever flinched at this one. Hmmmmmm I have 1.6 mln TC's and haven't received an invite for NOIR either. Didn't even know I was supposed to get one as my account still says NOIR on it.
I think I will continue to play ignorant and see what happens.
I have 3.4mil TC's (that's not an inflated number...that was my total at the end of my last trip), and I have an invite in my MLife portal to a Platinum renewal party in Tunica. I haven't played in Tunica since 2001, but maybe they think the downgrade will be worth the trip. I realize Noir is based on theo\actual loss this year, but it will be interesting to find out what those numbers are if anyone's host let's them know. I have an actual loss of $26k+ since last Oct 1st at MGM properties. My theo is probably less than that as I've run bad at Aria pretty consistently.
To be honest, the only thing I'd miss at not being Noir is the cruise benefit... and it's still unknown if RCCL will renew that deal.
however, if you have 3.4M TCs, that comes out to $113k in theo with the earning rate being 30 TCs per $1 theo. and the 30/$1 theo number seems to be correct as last trip I had 37k theo and picked up about 1.1M TCs.
so I don't see why you wouldn't be invited. I would call my host at whatever they consider your "home" casino and ask what's going on. it's possible you just got overlooked. when I first was invited to Noir, they didn't come to me, I came to them and asked and they looked it over and approved me.

Its raining red
Welcome to Red! Aptly named after owner, Jessica Lusk's, feisty
Mam-maw who had bright red hair. Only Pap-paw called her Red. Others called her Stella and ate the heck out of her baked goods. Especially Jessica. She loves desserts; like it's a full blown obsession. After obtaining her Masters in Architecture and working a few years in the design and construction industry, Lusk decided to make a career change and turn her dessert obsession into a business.
She traveled the world to perform totally pertinent "sugar research" and decided the business recipe should be to offer Classic American Desserts with a twist. Then, eat em' with a glass of fine wine or yes, maybe even an IPA (don't knock it till you try it!).
Everything came together when Lusk met her long lost baking-sister, pastry chef, Ashley Leonard. Described as magical by the Red team, that's exactly what Ashley is and what she does… she creates magical desserts.
Red is filled with goodness, fun, love, and lots of passion.Red uses only the highest quality products/produce and bakes fresh daily. Eco-awareness is super important to the Red team. We used reclaimed wood in the shop's design, recycled packaging, rubber stamps instead of labels, and we recycle each and every wine bottle and beer can!

Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz abruptly withdrew her request Tuesday afternoon for a judge to block disclosure of her deposition testimony in her lawsuit seeking a ruling that she is qualified to run for state attorney general.
Her attorney, Wesley W. Horton, confronted with an opposition motion by a lawyer for The Courant, William S. Fish, Jr., told Judge Michael Sheldon in Hartford Superior Court: "After reviewing the law in this area about five minutes ago, I reached the conclusion that The Courant is correct.''
Horton's quick withdrawal of the request to seal the testimony -- which he had filed Monday in the form of a motion seeking a "protective order" -- clears the way for the release to news organizations of a video of more than five hours of unusual testimony by a high state official, Bysiewicz. She was questioned in the deposition by the state Republican Party's lawyer, Eliot Gersten, who is challenging her claim that she has the statutorily required 10 years' "active practice'' of the law in Connecticut.
The office of Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, which was given a copy of the video from the March 31 all-day deposition, said the video needs to be copied and will not be available until Wednesday. The Courant filed a Freedom of Information Act request with Blumenthal's office last week, and since then the list of requesting news organizations has grown to at least 10. The March 31 testimony takes up eight DVD discs, all of which need to be copied, a Blumenthal spokeswoman said.
Bysiewicz's deposition continued Monday and Tuesday. The Courant, and presumably other news organizations, also have requested transcripts and videos of those deposition sessions, and it is unclear when those will be released.
Bysiewicz, a Democrat, is suing in hopes that Sheldon will declare her qualified under a state statute that requires Connecticut's attorney general to have accumulated 10 years in the "active practice" of law in the state.
She wants the judge to say that her 11 years as secretary of the state, an office for which you don't need to be a lawyer, count as the "active practice" of law -- unless Sheldon declares the 10-year requirement unconstitutional, which she also wants him to do.
She practiced private and corporate law here for six years before winning her current office.
A deposition is a pretrial proceeding at which a witness -- in this case Bysiewicz, who is also the plaintiff -- is questioned under oath by a lawyer who is gathering information in preparation for an eventual trial. The deposition video or transcript does not become part of the court file unless it is entered into the record at trial.
The trial had been scheduled to begin April 14, next week, but Gersten said in court Tuesday that he needs to take additional depositions and might want to put it off for a week. Horton said he would oppose that, and Sheldon brought the lawyers behind closed doors to discuss it. No decision on trial scheduling was announced by mid-afternoon.
Bysiewicz is seeking the Democratic nomination to the office that Blumenthal is vacating to run for the U.S. Senate, the seat held by Sen. Christopher Dodd. She has asked for, and been granted, expedited handling of her lawsuit because she wants a decision before the state Democratic nominating convention on May 21 and 22. Other Democrats seeking the nomination are former state Senate majority leader George Jepsen and current state Rep. Cameron Staples of New Haven.
The motion that Horton had filed Monday for the "protective order" contained only one paragraph. It asked Sheldon to direct all parties in the case "not to disclose publicly the transcript or videotape of any depositions in this case, except to the extent necessary to prosecute or defend any potential motion, unless and until they are unsealed" by order of the judge.
But the Courant's lawyers -- Fish and Michael T. McCormack of the law firm Hinckley, Allen & Snyder in Hartford -- filed a motion to intervene in the case Tuesday, saying Byseiwicz's private interests did not override the state Freedom of Information Act's requirement that the Courant's FOI request be granted.
"The necessity and value of the Courant's intervention in this case is clear with respect to the Courant's exercising its constiutional and statutory rights in publishing news of interest to the public," the lawyers said in the motion.
The Courant motion said that Bysiewicz could not establish "good cause" for an order to seal the testimony, "given the underlying issues in this case, all of which implicate the public interest."
"Simply stated, there is and can be no issue in this case that implicates the type of privacy concerns that might justify a protective order," the Courant's lawyers said in the motion. They added that Bysiewicz "has made no attempt to articulate what might constitute 'good cause' in this case to justify a protective order that would override the Courant's and the Public's rights" under the Freedom of Information Act.
None of those arguments had to be made in open court, because by the time Sheldon came into the courtoom, Horton had read the Courant's motion. As soon as the hearing opened, Horton withdrew his motion.
"Well, that gives me nothing to rule on," Sheldon replied, and then the lawyers went on to wrangle about scheduling the trial in the case.

Another year has come and gone. At first thought it seems like it happened in a blink of an eye; but when looking back on where I was on this day one year ago, there is no denying that this has been the longest, most intense year of my life. I began the year in anticipation. Although I might not have seen it at the time, I glistened with the glow of pregnancy and overflowed with love and bliss. I was the happiest I had ever been. I had the highest hopes for what was to come.
For the most part, 2012 was everything I dreamed it would be. I became a mother and a lawyer. I said goodbye to one beautiful land and hello to another. I created wonderful memories with family and friends. But it wasn't all easy. There were more than a few times when my inner strength was tested. There were times when people let me down; times when I felt that one last gust would make me shatter. I mostly avoided talking about life's more difficult moments on this blog, not because I wanted to paint a picture-perfect life, but because I've always been good about filing away the negativity in the deep dark corners of my brain. I'd always rather carry burdens on my own, rather than create even more negative energy by causing people to worry. I guess I get a lot of philosophy from Pennywise songs, and this one in particular comes to mind as I talk about these things:
I have learned a lot in 2012- about life, love, friendships, and how much I can handle (which at this point I think is pretty much anything.) I've learned that making your year (or life) awesome, isn't always easy. It takes a lot of energy and sacrifices. There will be setbacks, and you don't always get back what you put in. But when you look back and realize how far you've come, and when you're able to find happiness in the things you have created for yourself, it's all worth it.
At the end of 2012, I find myself in a brand new place, far from everything I've ever known. I have countless adventures ahead of me. I have a law degree under my belt that I can't quite use yet. I have a beautiful almost-toddler who I adore more than anything in this world. I have the most amazing family and friends rooting for me back home.
2012 has been a crazy year.
It has been the best year,
but I'm glad it's over.
It was exhausting.
I'm ready to start the next chapter in my book of life. I'm ready for 2013. It has A LOT to live up to, but I have high hopes. After all, 13 is my lucky number.
Highlights of 2012:

Zappos was thrilled to get down and dirty this month at the biannual Las Vegas Wash "Green Up". Members of the Zappos LEAF team joined more than 350 other community members (boy scouts, girl scouts, students, church groups and businesses) to plant 3,000 trees and shrubs in a 7-acre area along the banks of the wash. The sun was shining, water was flowing and adults and kids were chatting about the importance of preserving this spectacular oasis inside the Las Valley.
The Las Vegas Wash Coordination Committee stated, "The efforts of these volunteers have created much-needed habitat for wildlife living along the Las Vegas Wash. Re-vegetation also has helped stabilize the wash's banks, reducing erosion and improving water quality into Lake Mead, the source of the Las Vegas Valley's drinking water."
See you all next fall at the 22nd Las Vegas Wash "Green Up"!

Tariff hike is low, fair - EskomWed, 16 Jan 2013 5:34 AM
Eskom on Tuesday argued its tariff hike application is as fair and low as possible.
Public hearings got underway at the Cape Town International Convention Centre on Tuesday morning under the support of the National Energy Regulator of South Africa.
The power utility have applied to have the national tariff increased by 16 percent a year over the next five years.
Eskom boss Brian Dames said the power utility's application strikes an optimal balance for the country.
It's become a well-rehearsed statement for Eskom managers.
He added the company is acutely aware of the impact these increases are having, especially on the poor.
He reminded the audience that the country needed to look beyond the current power station build programme and insisted increases have been kept as low as possible.
He said the country would suffer far more without electricity and increased infrastructure.

Spirit in Practice: Ten Workshops for Unitarian Universalist Adults
A Tapestry of Faith Program for Adults
About the Author
Erik Walker Wikstrom is Senior Minister of First Parish Brewster (Massachusetts). He served as pastor of First Universalist Church in Yarmouth, Maine, from 1995 to 2006, and served an internship at First Parish in Concord, Massachusetts. Raised a Presbyterian (he was ordained as the youngest elder in the Long Island Presbytery) and nurtured in the summer camps of the New York Conference of the United Methodist Church, Erik also studied Zen Buddhism for nearly twenty years. He holds a master's degree in divinity from Harvard Divinity School and has advanced training in spiritual direction from the Shalem Institute for Spiritual Formation. Before entering the traditional ministry, Erik was a clown, magician, juggler, fire eater, and mask maker. He is the author of Teacher, Guide, Companion: Rediscovering Jesus in a Secular World (Skinner House Books, 2003) and Simply Pray: a Modern Spiritual Practice to Deepen Your Life (Skinner House Books, 2005). He currently lives on Cape Cod with his wife, two sons, and their cat.
The author expresses his gratitude to Zen Mountain Monastery in Mount Tremper, New York, for its "Eight Gates" model upon which this workshop's central organizing principle is based.
The developmental editor wishes to thank Adrianne Ross for her tireless project coordination for the Spirit in Practice program and other Tapestry of Faith programs for adults, Margy Levine Young and Adrianne Ross for the hard work and technological know-how that has brought the Spirit in Practice program to the internet, Kathy Carter for detailed and thoughtful manuscript editing, and Judith Frediani for carrying forward the vision of the Tapestry of Faith series. Gratitude also to Tapestry of Faith consultant Marion G. Mason, Ph.D., for her valuable suggestions pertaining to adults' spiritual development, and sincere thanks to Rev. William "Scotty" McLennan for permission to use "A Faith Stage Checklist" from his book Finding Your Religion: When the Faith You Grew Up With Has Lost its Meaning(Harper San Francisco, 1999).
Developed in response to many Unitarian Universalist adults' desire to engage in life-giving spiritual practices, the ten workshops of Spirit in Practice provide avenues for deepening spirituality and affirming spiritual growth in the congregation. Participants are invited to reflect, share, and grow together, exploring ways to nurture their connections with the sacred in everyday life.
As one in a series of Tapestry of Faith curricula for adults, Spirit in Practice weaves Unitarian Universalist values, principles, and sources with four "strands:" spiritual development, ethical development, and Unitarian Universalist identity development, and faith development, Each of the strands is described below.
Spiritual Development. In the book Everyday Spiritual Practice, Scott Alexander defines spirituality as our relationship with the Spirit of Life, however we understand it to be. Our spirituality is our deep, reflective, and expressed response to the awe, wonder, joy, pain, and grief of being alive. In this sense, the Tapestry of Faith programs seek to form children, youth, and adults who:
- Know that they are lovable beings of infinite worth, imbued with powers of the soul and obligated to use their gifts, talents, and potentials in the service of life
- Appreciate the value of spiritual practice as a means of deepening faith and integrating beliefs and values with everyday life
Ethical Development. When we develop our ethics, we develop our moral values—our sense of what is right and wrong. We also enhance our ability to act on those values, overcoming oppressions and despair. In this sense, the Tapestry of Faith programs seek to form children, youth, and adults who:
- Realize that they are moral agents, capable of making a difference in the lives of other people, challenging structures of social and political oppression, and promoting the health and well-being of the planet
- Accept that they are responsible for the stewardship and creative transformation of their religious heritage and community of faith in the service of diversity, justice and compassion
Unitarian Universalist Identity. A person's participation in a Unitarian Universalist congregation does not automatically create Unitarian Universalist identity. Personal identification with Unitarian Universalism begins when people start to call themselves Unitarian Universalist and feel part of a Unitarian Universalist congregation or community. Identity is strengthened as individuals discover and resonate with the stories, symbols, and practices of Unitarian Universalism. As individuals find and give acceptance, as they cherish the community's people and values and messages, as they find sustenance for their holy hungers, they grow into Unitarian Universalists. In this sense, the Tapestry of Faith programs seek to form children, youth, and adults who:
- Affirm that they are part of a Unitarian Universalist religious heritage and community of faith that has value and provides resources for living
- Recognize the need for community, affirming the importance of families, relationships, and connections between and among the generations
- Accept that they are responsible for the stewardship and creative transformation of their religious heritage and community of faith in the service of diversity, justice, and compassion
Faith Development. When we develop in faith, we develop as meaning-makers. Faith is not about accepting impossible ideas. Rather, faith is about embracing life's possibilities, growing in our sense of being "at home in the universe." Faith is practiced in relationship with others—it has personal dimensions, but it is best supported by a community of shared symbols, stories, values, and meaning. This strand—faith development—emphasizes each person's religious journey as a participant in a faith community and faith tradition, and each person's lifelong process of bringing head, heart, and hands to what is of ultimate meaning and value.
Each of these strands is woven, to some degree, in each of the Spirit in Practice workshops, even though the primary focus of this resource is spiritual development. May these workshops come to life in your hands and in the hearts, minds, and spirits of those you teach.
—Sarah Gibb Millspaugh, Developmental Editor, Unitarian Universalist Association Adult Programs Director
The Program
The idea of spiritual practices encourages individuals to take responsibility for their own spiritual development by spending time working on it, deliberating on its meaning and how best to pursue it, seeking to understand the sacred through reading and the counsel of others, and seeking to have contact with the sacred through personal reflection and prayer.
—Robert Wuthnow, scholar of American religious history
Spirit in Practice was created to help Unitarian Universalists develop regular disciplines, or practices, of the spirit—practices that help them connect with the sacred ground of their being, however they understand it. Spirit in Practice affirms religious diversity while seeking unity in our communal quest for meaning and wholeness. Whether participants follow a path they identify as Humanist, Jewish, Christian, Pagan, Theist, Atheist, Agnostic, Mystic, and/or any of the other paths we follow in our diverse congregations, the Spirit in Practice workshops offer a forum for learning, sharing, and growth that can enrich their faith journeys.
In Everyday Spiritual Practice, an anthology of writings by Unitarian Universalist clergy and laity about their own spiritual practices, the Reverend Scott Alexander wrote, "In our faith every individual is expected, with the help of clergy and community, to nurture and tend the garden of his or her own religious life each and every day."
Spirit in Practice helps Unitarian Universalists tend that garden. It helps our congregations offer support and challenge to members along their spiritual paths. It is one way to provide the practical support and guidance Unitarian Universalists need for spiritual growth to blossom.
In interfaith dialogue, and in our spiritually diverse congregations, the analogy of a mountain is often used—there are many paths up a mountain. Each path has its own plusses and minuses. The North Face may be faster but also more technically challenging; the South Face may meander more easily and provide more overlooks. Each will appeal to—or repel—different people.
One of the things that make our movement unique is that we do not insist that everyone take the same route. Rather, we encourage people to find the path that most suits them. And then we go a step further—at our best, we keep gathering together to discuss what we've seen and done on our journeys thus far. That means that the folks going up the North Face get a bit of the flavor of the trip they might have taken, and the folks going up the South Face get to vicariously experience a different kind of climb than the one they're on. This mutual give-and-take, in the context of conversation, not conversion, can only enrich the experience of all who take part in it—even those who are just walking back and forth around the base camp.
The workshops that make up the Spirit in Practice series are predicated on three fundamental ideas:
- That the "free and responsible search for truth and meaning" that we affirm in our Unitarian Universalist principles is a spiritual quest
- That this search is more effectively and more evocatively carried out if we have some training and discipline—not to mention some practice, in both senses of the word—that helps us pay attention to the sacred
- That there is nothing in our lives that cannot serve as a tool for this work
Drawing on a model developed by the Zen Mountain Monastery in Mount Tremper, New York , for the training of its students, Spirit in Practice focuses on eight spheres of holistic and wholehearted spiritual practices. These eight spheres are:
- Personal spiritual practices
- Communal worship practices
- Spiritual partnerships
- Mind practices
- Body practices
- Soul practices
- Life practices
- Justice practices
The first workshop introduces this eight-sphere concept, and Workshops 2 through 9 examine each of these spheres in turn. The spheres can be explored as a complete series or as individual encouragements to try new lenses through which to view and engage the depth dimensions of our lives. The tenth workshop is designed to review and integrate the others, since an argument that runs through them all is that these various spheres work best when brought together.
This program will:
- Nurture a deepening spiritual life and spiritual centeredness
- Consider the value of spiritual practice, in any variety of forms, as a means to deepen faith and enhance the quality of everyday living
- Cultivate individual and communal spiritual practices
- Develop participants' alertness to the wonder and mystery of existence
- Encourage experiences of the sacred through worship, ritual, wisdom of faith traditions, and spiritual disciplines
- Explore possibilities for deepening experiences of spirituality in the context of a Unitarian Universalist congregation
A team of two or more adults should lead the Spirit in Practice workshops. The same co-leaders need not lead each workshop. However, consistency in leadership has many advantages for congregations providing all or part of the Spirit in Practice program as a continuous series.
Leaders may be religious professionals, such as ministers or religious educators, or they may be committed laypersons. Consider using these criteria in choosing your Spirit in Practice leaders:
- Knowledgeable about Unitarian Universalism
- Involved in the congregation
- Trusted within the congregation
- Effective at speaking, teaching, and facilitating
- Engaged in regular spiritual practices
- Good listeners
- Responsible and respectful, with strong interpersonal boundaries
- Well organized and competent
Leaders need to be capable of creating and nurturing a supportive, respectful, and safe community within the workshops. If your congregation has a safe congregation policy, a code of ethics for leaders, or a covenant of right relations, make sure your Spirit in Practice leaders become familiar with and affirm it.
Leaders are expected to be facilitators of learning. As such, their motivations and behavior should be tuned toward the learning needs of participants. Leaders interested in their own gratification or celebrity, or leaders with a theological axe to grind, might present a workshop that is more a "show" about the leaders than a learning experience for and about the participants.
A leader can facilitate learning in these workshops without teaching experience or pedagogical knowledge. Throughout each workshop plan, leaders will find detailed guidance to conduct activities in a way that facilitates participants' learning.
The Spirit in Practice program is designed for adult participants age eighteen and up. The workshops are equally suitable for a congregation's first-time visitors and its longtime members. To adapt a workshop for use with high school youth, leaders may need to revise some activities to make their concepts more concrete and less abstract.
Workshops can accommodate any number of participants, with six participants an ideal minimum. If you have six or more participants, you will be able to divide your group into the groups of two or three that several activities require.

Remember the Space Food Sticks – the space age energy food from the future? Well the newest future food catch phrase is "Functional Foods." These are foods that are boosted with other nutrients and have reached $19 billion in retail sales.
Functional foods range from beverages to desserts, all claiming additional superpowers. They fall into a gray area somewhere between foods like an apple that give you some essential nutrients and a dietary supplement that gives you extra nutrients that your diet may be lacking.
The Food and Drug Administration is responsible for regulating these foods and defines them as "foods and food components that provide a health benefit beyond basic nutrition." This is like taking that apple and making it a "super apple." That's not an apple with other fruit qualities and nutrients like pear-apples and grapples (grape apples), but an apple that has been bred with extra plant sterols designed to fight cholesterol, extra antioxidants to fight cancer or perhaps a megadose of calcium to combat osteoporosis.
This may sound science-fictional, but it's not! Take a look around the shelves of your favorite grocery store and you will already see vitamin-enriched waters, calcium fortified orange juice, Omega 3 nut mixes and fiber fortified breakfast bars.
Looking deeper into the future, it is possible to design foods and diets through regulatory gene expression that could reduce or prevent diseases afflicting people with specific genotypes. Meaning, if you are genetically at risk for certain diseases, foods could be altered to help decrease your risks.
In the future, dietitians could be designing nutrition plans and recommending products based on a combination of genetics and modified foods. The USDA is conducting many research studies at the present time on how genes interact with dietary constituents in fighting diseases.
Also on the horizon are designer foods customized for different age groups. For example, babies need Docosahexaenoic Acie (DHA) for brain development – so customizing infant foods to make them higher in DHA might be beneficial. Curcumin, the yellow component in Curry, may help in brain function in older adults, so we may see senior foods supplemented with curcumin or other powerful antioxidants to prevent dementia or cancer.
As foods take on more medicinal/preventive superpowers, who will be regulating them? There is a huge possibility for consumer fraud and misinformation. As the FDA and food marketers sort out how they are going to regulate these foods, consumers should practice caution and common sense.
Most functional foods come with a price – they are often more expensive and they do contain calories. Fiber One Chewy Bars, for instance, deliver 35% of your daily fiber requirement, thought to promote digestive health and weight management, but each bar also contains 140 calories and 4 grams of fat. The extra 140 calories per day can add up, so consumers will need to adjust their dietary intake subtracting 140 calories from somewhere else in order to avoid weight gain.
Remember the golden rule when it comes to the diet, substitute rather than add! And remember, if a little bit is good, that doesn't mean a lot is better.

BRISTOL, Tenn. - Carl Edwards gave Ford its second straight NASCAR Sprint Cup Series win and led a sweep of the top three spots in capturing Sunday's rain-delayed Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway.
Edwards led the final 78 laps after crew chief Jimmy Fennig decided to keep him and his No. 99 Kellogg's Frosted Flakes Fusion on the track instead of pitting when Martin Truex Jr. brought out the caution for hitting the wall in turn two.
"When Jimmy said we were gonna stay out I thought, 'That's a good idea,' but then nobody stayed out around us and I thought, 'Oh boy, that might not be the greatest thing,' but it turned out to be perfect," said Edwards after winning his third NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol. "Our car was just fast or faster than it had been all night after that, so there was no detriment to our performance. It didn't hurt us in any way staying out and helped with all that track position, so that was good."
Besides Edwards, fellow Ford drivers Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Aric Almirola employed the same strategy and wound up having a three-way battle to the checkered flag. In the end, both young drivers posted their best career finishes as Stenhouse finished second and Almirola third.
"I was thinking I would use the bumper if the opportunity was there," said Stenhouse when asked what his plan was if a final restart had taken place and he was forced to battle his Roush Fenway teammate on the final lap. "If you get the win, you're in the Chase and you can let the rest take care of itself later. That's what I was really thinking if we went back green."
Almirola was equally frustrated by the result because he was so close to getting his first series victory.
"It's frustrating because I had one shot to race Carl for the lead and these races are so hard to win," said Almirola. "It was a great day for us and I'm not disappointed at all with third, but when you see it and you can taste it and it's that close, you wonder what could have gone different."
Topping off the night was Marcos Ambrose, whose fifth-place run gave Richard Petty Motorsports a pair of top-five performances and Ford four of the top five overall.
"These cars go a lot faster around this track than the old style cars and we had to really dig in our feet," said Ambrose. "The groove went to the very fence and we had to really watch ourselves there and keep adjusting the car all night."
A race that was delayed over an hour at the start due to rain was halted after 124 laps when more precipitation forced a red flag for 3 hours and 19 minutes. The result was a night race that saw drivers run two and three-wide through the corners as rain continued to threaten and end the event at any moment.
The final twist of the night came in the closing laps as Edwards was on his way to a sure victory, but the caution came out for no known reason with three laps to go. As the cars slowed to prepare for what appeared to be a green-white-checkered finish, rain began falling and NASCAR ended the race under caution.
"After review of the situation post-race, what had happened in the closing laps of the race, it appears that in the flag stand one of the flag people had leaned on the switch that is the manual override for the caution lights," said Robin Pemberton, NASCAR Vice President of Competition. "At that time when the flag stand realized that the caution lights were illuminated the flag man threw the flag and then after that happened we froze the field from the tower."
The end result was a 1-2-3 Ford sweep for the first time since last season when David Ragan, David Gilliland and Edwards took home the top three spots at Talladega. It also marked the first time Ford Racing has won consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup Series races since 2012 when Ambrose and Greg Biffle won back-to-back at Watkins Glen and Michigan.
Brad Keselowski, who was bidding for a second straight win after taking the checkered flag in Las Vegas a week ago, had that opportunity taken away when he was collected in a multi-car accident after Kevin Harvick had some mechanical issues and hit the wall. Even though he was able to nurse his No. 2 Miller Lite Fusion to the finish, he ended up 14th. Still, it was good enough to take over the series points lead by 10 over Dale Earnhardt Jr.
The Ford teams will look to make it three in a row when the circuit heads to Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, CA, for Sunday's Auto Club 400.
