Re: Where the Marines in Europe in WWII?
The mistake being made regarding the modern pirates isn't just being made by the shippers, it is being made by the governments of the world! The Obama administration could easily under international law could sove this problem. But you also have to blame GWB administration. Under international law there is a right to defend you ships in transit in international law. A small detachment of service men on a feighteer with .50 caliber M2 machine guns could cut the small boats the pirates use in half. There is an international force of Navies now patroling to stop the pirates. But to me they are a little slow on the trigger. I agree 100%, the armed services need each other.

Re: Where the Marines in Europe in WWII?
According to some Marines, there was no need for any Army troops at all. Or airmen. Or sailors. Or support troops. Or tanks, airplanes or ships. In fact there was no need for any Marines except for the two who would have done the job in the ETO and the PTO with nothing but Springfield rifles and bayonets. (Yes, one Marine could have done it, but not soon enough, what with travel time.)
That is true, isn't? Would a Marine stretch the truth? Jim |

Re: Where the Marines in Europe in WWII?
That sums up very well the role of Marines in the European-North African area in WWII.
Actually, at the time of Pearl Harbor, the Marines were not the experts in amphibious operations that they later became. Prior to WWII, the Marines were lightly equipped and intended only as a landing party; at best they would hold a small piece of territory which could be used to land Army forces. The landing ships and landing craft the Marines would later use didn't exist, and most Marine landings up to that time were from ordinary ships' boats. While experiments had been conducted in the 1930's, the true landing craft was not well developed until 1943. At the time of the Guadalcanal invasion in August 1942, only the LCM and LVT were available in any numbers and the LCM, while it carried tanks, had no bow ramp (actually a Japanese invention). But landing craft and landing ships were rapidly developed and built in large numbers, and by mid-1943 the Marines had full fighting and staying capability. They had tanks, heavy artillery and close air support (primarily Navy and Marine), plus support from naval guns when and where feasible. I have often made fun of Marine mythology, but there were no myths involved in what the Marines did in the Pacific. The fighting was hard and brutal and the Marines were heros in every meaning of that word. They deserve the respect of all Americans. On a lighter note, someone on another site said the Marines had no artillery or air support. I pointed out that they did have integral Marine support in those areas, plus the U.S. armed forces fight as a team and that Marines could, when necessary, call for Army, Navy, or Air Force support, and receive it. A poster, who claimed to have served in the USMC in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam (!!) stated that only the panty-waist Army soldiers needed artillery or air cover and that Marines took those Pacific islands by fixing bayonets and charging. What silly nonsense! I hope that by the time the "three-war Marine" graduates from high school, he might have learned better. Jim Last edited by Jim K; 04-22-2010 at 10:13 PM.. |

Re: Where the Marines in Europe in WWII?
If anyone has encountered combat anywhere, I'm sure that they cannot forget all thier brothers in all branches of the U S Military, as all being part in some way enabling them to return to our USA. The Navy bobarding the beaches, the air support before and after the landing,the Army contending with enemy forces in another part of the world and our Coast Guard protecting the perimeter of the USA, all working in unison to forbid the enemy his goal. Also, I have not ever met a REMF I didn't appreciate.JMHO

Re: Where the Marines in Europe in WWII?
So in other words, the Marines landed with single divisions and the Army landed with several divisions AND the British. Looks like the Marines did the job with 1 division and the Army needed several with help. :-)

Re: Where the Marines in Europe in WWII?
Hi I am a young pup to this forum.
In answer to your question: This story comes from LeatherNeck Magazine: "One of the most decorated Marine officers of World War II, Colonel Peter Ortiz served in both Africa and Europe througout the war, as a member of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Although born in the U.S., he was educated in France and began his military service in 1932 at the age of 19 with the French Foreign Legion. He was wounded in action and imprisoned by the Germans in 1940. After his escape, he made his way to the U.S. and joined the Marines. As a result of his training and experience, he was awarded a commission, and a special duty assignment as an assistant naval attache in Tangier, Morocco. Once again, Ortiz was wounded while perfoming combat intelligence work in preparation for Allied landings in North Africa. In 1943, as a member of the OSS, he was dropped by parachute into France to aid the Resistance, and assisted in the rescue of four downed RAF pilots. He was recaptured by the Germans in 1944 and spent the remainder of the war as a POW. Ortiz's decorations included two Navy Crosses, the Legion of Merit, the Order of the British Empire, and five Croix de Guerre. He also was made a Chevalier of the Legion of Honor by the French. Upon return to civilian life, Ortiz became involved in the film industry. At the same time, at least two Hollywood films were made based upon his personal exploits. He died on 16 May 1988 at the age of 75." --A Different War: Marines In Europe And North Africa, Marines In WWII Commemorative Series, By LtCol Harry W. Edwards (Ret) There are numerous detailed accounts of the background and exploits of Ortiz in various publications; I will list those of which I am aware at the end of this article. He had been born in New York City and educated in France where he left school before graduation to join the Legion. He was said to be the youngest sergeant in the history of the French Foreign Legion. He was wounded in action between the Legion and Germans in 1940, then imprisoned in a concentration camp in Austria. After escaping, making his way to the U.S. and joining the Marine Corps in June 1942, he was commissioned in August 1942, commissioned a captain in the Marine Corps Reseve in December 1942, and assigned to North Africa as an assistant naval attache where he organized a patrol of Arab tribesmen to scout German forces on the Tunisian front. He was asigned to the OSS after recovering from wounds suffered in Tunisia. Captain Ortiz had reported back to HQMC in April of 1943, and the following month joined the Office of Strategic Services (OSS), a secretive organization and predecessor to the CIA. He was a graduate of both the Legion's and Marine Corps' parachute schools. Having lived in France he was fluent in that language; he also spoke nine other languages and was fluent in five. He parachuted into France on January 6, 1944, assigned to help organize and lead elements of the French underground forces known as the "Marquis." -RWG The Leatherneck magazine of January 1991, indicates that: In the course of his duties he began frequenting a nightclub in Lyons that catered to German officers. This enabled Ortiz to gain much information regarding German activities in the area, which he turned to good use against the Germans. This Marine had worn his Marine uniform when leading Marquis groups in raids. To have an Allied officer leading them bolstered their morale immensely, especially when the uniform bore such impressive decorations. "One night, while Ortiz sat with the German officers at the club in Lyons, an enemy soldier damned President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. He then damned the United States of America. And then, for whatever reason, he damned the United States Marine Corps (Ortiz later wrote that he "could not, for the life of me, figure why a German officer would so dislike American Marines when, chances were, he'd never met one.") Perhaps Ortiz was bored. Perhaps he......he excused himself from the table and returned to his apartment where....changed into the uniform of a U.S. Marine....he then shrugged into a raincoat and returned to the club....he ordered a round of drinks...refreshments were served.... removed his raincoat and stood brandishing his pistol. "A toast, he said, beaming, respendent in full greens and decorations, "to the President of the United States!" As the pistol moved from German officer to German officer, they emptied their glasses. He ordered another round of drinks and then offered a toast to the United States Marine Corps! After the Germans had drained their glasses, the Marine backed out, pistol levelled at his astonished hosts. He disappeared into the rainy, black night. ....The train approached. The explosive device was detonated....the Marqis opened up....Grenades were tossed. Ortiz waited for the firing to subside, then stood in full view in his Marine Corps uniform and ordered the Marquis to withdraw....leaving 47 Germans dead and many others wounded. Not a Marquis was lost. His adventures were numerous..." --Leatherneck, January 1991 After the war, Colonel Ortiz worked with director John Ford, a former member of the OSS himself.. Two movies were produced depicting the exploits of Ortiz. They were, "13 Rue Madeleine," with James Cagney, etc., and "Operation Secret," with Cornel Wilde, etc. Ortiz also had small parts in such films as, "The Outcast," "Wings of Eagles," and "Rio Grande." He also played the part of Major Knott in the film, "Retreat Hell," a movie about the Marines at the Chosin Resevoir in 1950. Marine Colonel Peter Ortiz was laid to rest at Arlington National cemetery on May 23, 1988. Prior to burial, the procession was led by the Marine Band in full dress, playing hymns - then a Marine rifle company in full dress, with fixed bayonets - six white horses pulling a caisson with the flag draped coffin and the beautiful black riderless horse with the reversed boot. A Navy commander chaplain conducted a short service. Representing the U.S. Marine Corps was General Frank Breth, Director of Intelligence; representing France was Colonel Guy Hussenot; representing England was Captain Jeremy Robbins, of the British Royal Marines...

Woodwards Garden
Online Reservations
We celebrated my wife's birthday, the food was excellent! The place was quiet and cozy.. Great experience!!!
Somehow I always feel nourished far beyond the food when I eat here. The menu offers hints but doesn't really convey how spectacular everything tastes. I still haven't found a bottle of wine on their list that didn't thrill me after choosing something new and unknown. Always a pleasure!
Woodward's Garden is in an off the beaten path spot under the freeway in the Inner Mission. Service was uneven, our waitress gave us our neighbor's first course, then the waiter caught it and exchanged the plates. The beet salad and artichoke starter were both tasty and well presented. Unfortunately there was no light white wine offered by the glass. The Italian white offered instead was too heavy for these dishes. We ordered a Sangiovese for the entree's and it was a better selection. The green garlic ravioli in butter and white wine was al dente and not over sauced. The pork loin was just a bit over cooked, but saved by the fresh peas served with it. Dessert was excellent-we'll return.
This restaurant has been around for several years and we finally tried it. What a nice menu: good variety, all the choices were appealing. And the food was well prepared and tasty too!
We had an early dinner here before going on to the Armory to see Black Watch. As usual, both the food and the service were very good, and at the early hour the noise level was fine. We continue to enjoy this restaurant, as we have over many years. They remain at a high and consistent level of dining quality.
This was an incredible dining experience! The atmosphere was charming, the food was absolutely stunning, and the service fantastic. Our whole table could not believe we had never been here! It will be one of our first choices the next time we make a reservation.
Just a great meal: delicious, fresh, well prepared. The chef knows what to do with seasonal ingredients.
What a great find, when we walked in I felt like we were transported to a small bistro in Europe. The neighborhood is kind of gritty, bring under the freeway, so the feeling walking in was unexpected. The food was fresh and delicious. The overall vibe was relaxing and low key. The service was attentive but not obnoxious. Recommend!
Three of us made a next-day reservation at Woodwards for dinner. The traffic delayed us by half-hour, but the staff held a table for us. We were promptly seated. The hostess asked if we were attending the near-by theater and with a strict curtain time. After reviewing the menu and placing our order, the kitchen staff prepared our dishes and they were served without delay. We had a great time dinning on three wonderful menu items. The timely service allowed us to enjoy the meal without rushing. I wish we could have lingered longer in this quiet little gem. I'd go back without hesitation then next time we are in the area.
Woodwards Gardens is a real find. FOur of us, all foodies, visited on a Saturday evening, before theater. We had diverse main courses - sturgeon (outstanding), pork (excellent), risotto (wonderful flavors), and ravioli (good but not outstanding), a diversity of salads (the best was beet salad with infused yoghurt), and truly sumptuous deserts (the sticky date pudding was one of the best I have ever eaten!!). Overall, The food was innovative, well cooked, and delicious; the service was prompt and courteous, and the price tag, given the quality of the food, was not too bad at all (Food plus wine about $50 per head). We will return!
Rough neighborhood, unattractive location. It was expensive, but food was excellent and a pleasant surprise. I always wondered about this place because the location is so dismal. But, after a matinee at the Armory it was a very convenient location.
My favorite restaurant!! Amazing food and unique wine list. They really know what they are doing!!!
Woodward's Garden is an excellent, low-key restaurant with a charming staff. We've been there twice in the last month and every item we have had--first courses, entrees, and desserts has been delicious. The servers are helpful but don't hover. It's my new favorite "good meal before a concert" place to go. Do yourself a favor and order the apricot crisp.
Still one of the best restaurants in town, but so few know it
Odd location but delicious food. The vegetarian dish was one of the best I've eaten.
Consistently excellent! A great place to go for a relaxing evening, with good friends, and a great meal. A true meal to be savored.
Experience lush, delicious, flavorful, fresh and seasonal food in a distinctive, urban neighborhood spot that is also a crazily romantic setting. If you don't know this place, you should.
Absolutely first-rate dining experience. Delicious food, lovely service. Food is fresh, organic and wonderful. I started with grilled nectarines paired with sweet roasted peppers, some arugula and feta cheese. This is one of the best dishes I have ever tasted. Followed up with pan seared fresh salmon served with perfectly prepared vegetables. Lovely Italian "chardonnay" suggested by our server paired beautifully with the meal. Woodward Gardens is a cozy little gem tucked into an unusual location. Be a part of history and dine where a San Francisco amusement park once was!
Great find, we loved the music, the food ((main dishes were good, sides were outstanding!) and will be back for sure!
I had not been back to this place for quite some time! It was even better than I had remembered. We had friends in from out of town. It was the perfect spot to sit and catch up and just enjoy! We all loved it!
myself and my date had a remarkable experience. He is a vegan and I am not and both of us had a great meal. Love this place.
I''ve been going to Woodward's Garden for many years and the dining experience is always excellent. The quiet and bohemian atmosphere make this restaurant a neighborhood gem and fabulous date place. I can't say enough good things about Woodward's Garden. You should definitely try it!
Went for our anniversary - we've spent many anniversaries, birthdays, special occasions and warm dinners with friends at Woodward's Garden. Dana's cuisine is always interesting and unbelievably tasty. We wanted everything on the appetizer menu, and thoroughly enjoyed our choices of corn chowder and the figs stuffed with blue cheese and wrapped with prosciutto. I loved my salmon entrée. Always save room for dessert here - I usually have the willpower to pass on dessert, but cannot resist Dana's fresh fruit crisps or brown butter tarts.
You can taste the freashness of all the ingridients. Their cooking is based on mild condiments to encourage the flavours of the vegtibles and the meat dishes. wine list matches the style. Elegantly romantic, but casual.
Food is amazing - seasonal with a commitment to quality and freshness. The menu is straight forward and avoids annoying trends. The biggest problem I have when eating there is not being able to eat everything on the menu. Service is very friendly and professional in keeping with the intimate atmosphere. What's most remarkable to me is the consistency that they've been able to keep over the years - a true gem of SF!
One of the finest dining spots in a city of great restaurants. It should be jammed at all times, but isn't. There only a few dining places as good.
We love Woodwards Garden. The service is personable (as if the staff members are family),and the food is great. Each dish was sophisticated and complex but not fussy. And the staff made an excellent wine recommendation. They were quite busy when we were there on Saturday, and the wait staff was stretched by that. I can't really complain about that because I want them to thrive.
Unpretentious, well crafted fair with big favors and local ingredients. My favorite kind of eating. Have been wanting to try this little spot in the Mission and finally had a chance to go with an out of town guest. Service is friendly and personal, dining room is small, the benches could use an update, but overall a great experience.
I've been going to Woodward Gardens for almost 20 years and I've never been disappointed by the food and the service, both of which are outstanding. Margie and her team create a truly unique experience, even for "foodie San Francisco".
I happened to be on Martha Stewart's website prior to our trip, she recommended Woodwards Garden. I made reservations and was not disappointed! It is off the beaten path, but well worth the cab ride. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, service is attentive but not intrusive. The meal was spectacular, fresh with layers of flavors. We cannot wait to go back.
If I hadn't seen this recommended in Martha Stewart's magazine we would have just walked by it. It's nothing much to look at from the inside or out but the food was phenomenal. Thee were four of us and we shared teo appitzers each had a different entree. Everything we ate was excellen. Not one morsel left in anyones's plate. If you were just walking by you might pass the place up but don't.
My 4th visit finds the place basically unchanged. The service was a little spotty (no bread and butter plates and we had to ask for more bread), but food was delicious. Only real annoyance was the seating we got. We were in the hallway from kitchen to dining room on an uneven floor which made the chair and table a bit wobbly. The other choice was in the front next to the kitchen, a bit too hot for me.
We loved it. All the food was delicious, varied and interesting.
I am always amazed there is not a line out the door. Fresh and locally sourced ingredients are always featured on the menu. Truly a gem of a restaurant.
When San Francisco was still cool, say the early 1990s, before the dot come boom, when It was a place where artists and thinkers and eccentrics came to live, this restaurant was born. It is still here 20+ years later and its got same great owners, same incredible food and great underground feel. If you are in SF, and want to remember what was amazing about this town, you will eat here, and be happy you did.
I recently had the pleasure of eating at Woodwards Garden for the first time as part of a special event by a local author. I was totally blown away by the taste, quality, and creativity of the food. As a vegetarian, I am used to vegetables getting a second-rate treatment, but this was certainly not the case here as vegetables play a starring role. The vegetarian dishes were wonderfully layered with fabulous flavors, equally substantial in comparison to the meat dishes. Both vegetarians and carnivores will leave satisfied. The food has a farm to table sensibility with an emphasis on fresh, seasonal ingredients. The space is warm, intimate, and rustic and makes you feel at home. I highly recommended this lovely restaurant.
We had a delightful dinner/dining experience and would recommend Woodward's Garden highly.
Don't be overly concerned about the location, nor understated decor, the food more than compensates. Locally sourced ingredients and an adequate wine selection makes this a dining value. Our fig appetizer, sturgeon and pappardelle were excellent as were the desserts - homemade ice cream and a fruit crisp. The owner was our server -- and needless to say the service was excellent and the server quite knowledgeable about all facets of the menus!
WG is a SF gem. The food is not only delicious, it is clever and inventive. The seasonal menu is obviously filled with thoughtful choices and surprising treasures (the grape gazpacho made me discover new taste buds!) Along some classic dishes (Maple Leaf Duck Leg) you will find a new twist on short ribs. The desserts are all equally delicious and always renewed. Margie's wine recommendations are on point and never disappointing. You don't feel rushed or pressed to leave. You are made to feel welcome. I would like to make this place a weekly tradition! You can feel the love and care that goes in this restaurant, it's not just a business, it is a real labor of love.
A Our threesome had a great night exchanging stories (we could hear eachother) and eating great food! Each dish it's own treat.
Have love love loved, this spot for over twelve years. It has never failed to create a meal to talk about and reflect on over and over. Sarah's mastery of food and pairing has always satisfied my food 'CHI'.
Very nice experience. Kind of pricey, but food and service were both excellent. Funky location, occasionally noisy from the street outside, but the restaurant itself was quite enough to hear my date (for once).
Woodwards Garden never fails to delight. This is our go-to place for consistently good food, quiet atmosphere and pleasant dining experience. Service is attentive and not "in you face I'm your host tonight I'll be serving you" dumbed down. Only dilemma: too many wonderful dishes to choose among--not that the menu is overwhelming, just that everything always sounds so good--and there is never a disappointment. I'd love to keep this place a secret, but would be unfair to Woodwards Garden--and everyone else.
Walked in to a very empty restaurant and was a little worried. This passed quickly as an incredibly tasty salad with roasted beets arrived and we took our first sips of wine. The food was spot on, delicious. Presentation was lovely. Everything fresh. Sustainable fish and locally sourced ingredients. By the time we finished our entrees, the place had filled. Although the timing was a bit off on the entrees and we waited a bit for a dessert menu, the service was good.
Woodward's Garden has been very consistent over the years, providing upscale food nicely presented. I can always count on an excellent meal at a reasonable price. The wine list is carefully selected with a modest mark-up. What's not to like?
A secret winner that for some reason isn't jammed at all times.
We've been going to Woodwards Garden for years now since our friends Mary Beth and Michael introduced us. It can be hard to find the first time since it occupies an unlikely spot beneath the elevated freeway. I LOVE the view because it's quintessentially urban -- a little gritty with great people watching and lots of sounds of the city. Get there early if you want a quiet meal. The menu always changes, but is consistently delicious with its use of local, seasonal offerings. The steel head was especially delicious the other night, as was a persimmon and chard salad. The owner is super friendly and remembers her guests. This is one of our favorites.
We read the reviews and felt they were good enough to try a new restaurant although not without apprehension. We didn't mind the location under the freeway at all...there was easy parking for us on the street. Digital art work in the second room was unusual and worth seeing. Service was interesting, definitely lacking in attention, but given we were with another couple and very engaged in our conversations, we didn't mind. Lovely intimate setting for the four of us. Noticed some of the table seating for two would be too close to one another for me to be comfortable. Excellent, excellent food. We would definitely go there again for the ambience and the fabulous food in spite of our less than friendly waitress. Hats off to the chef.
I Love This Place. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable, delicious meal.
Delightful dinner with quiet, efficient service. Hot, fresh food with great flavors and beautiful presentation- seasonal and local sources. Excellent and well-priced wines. Felt very comfortable, but special. Thanks!

Comments about Atlantic Inc Oskar Media Cabinet in Expresso:
The picture used for this item is very misleading. The picture is ACTUALLY 2 of these items stacked on top of one another. Read the item details and the dimension measurements closely and then look CAREFULLY at the image.

We were like kids in a candy store and shot and fingered as many parts as we could without getting thrown out of the place. There were big wheels, long bags, loud pipes, and tons of horsepower hop ups. Cutting-edge bagger parts makers such as Glendyne, Klock Werks, Arlen Ness, RSD, Ballistic, Ridewright, Bad Dad, Jim Nasi, Bagger Concepts, Sinister, and Performance Machine all were under one roof representing.

A drink at Collage
by findingpaola
We cheated last week. Instead of our usual outings, Sara and I had so much work to do, we just stayed for a drink at the hotel's restaurant. There was no adventure. No surprises. No craziness. We just sat and relaxed after a long day of work. Since Sara is the restaurant's manager, she invited me to try out a couple of drinks the new bartender made. I am a big fan of the Grape Mojito. Yum!

07-15-2012, 08:11 PM #7My truck looks the same as ahmitchell1 but with a factory size tire, well maybe a little different if your interested in a pic I have some in my album. Instead of plastidip I used duplicolor universal black to paint my wheels. Soon I plan to paint the outer lip red just for something different for a while. One way to find alot of pics that I use is on Yahoo search do an image search for what your looking for, that will give you several pictures without having to visit different sites. that is if you haven't tried that already.

It's well known the average CMO, meaning Chief Marketing Officer, doesn't last even two years. No wonder. Despite all the other challenges facing a top marketing person, here's one more: the job doesn't exist in the new social media world! It's hard to hold on to a phantom job in an ever-disappearing traditional field.
The new CMO, according to social media modernist Brian Solis is a Community Management Officer. Not responsible for getting messages out, this new position is one of engagement and relationship-building. As Solis states in his new e-book The Art and Science of Blogger Relations: "they are on the front lines of listening and engaging in conversations across the web." If you don't have a Kindle, you may not be able to read it. Solis is totally dedicated to engaging via new media replete with typos throughout the copy and all.
Unlike ivory tower Chief Marketing Officers with big corner offices in corporate complexes, the Community Management Officer is down in the trenches, trolling the web and providing valuable content in key areas. It's a person who tends to be ahead of the times, much like Solis who blog published his Social Media Manifesto in June 2007!
Warning: It's not a short read — at least 11 pdf pages, in direct contrast to the average blog post.
Recommendation: Read it. It foretells the future of communication.
Since the social media world is all about making the world smaller, I was not surprised to see that Solis had co-authored a book on PR with Deidre Breckenridge, a Jersey girl who heads the PR for PFS Marketwyse, an ad agency that pitched me at the newspaper almost a decade ago. We didn't hire them, but they had amazing work. They showed us an ad campaign for positioning the newspaper that I remember to this day. We didn't buy it , but it was a campaign the newspaper industry as a whole through the NAA (Newspaper Association of America) should have adopted. Perhaps if they had, they'd be in better shape today.

It doesn't work by convection. The pipes conduct the heat away from the gpu and the fans 'convect' the heat away from the fins. I had a 580 Lightning in a fortress FT02 case (same layout) and it does a fantastic job of cooling gpu's.
He has a Raven case which holds the card vertically, with the outputs on the top of the case. Typically, this is superior to having the card horizontal as heat naturally rises. In his case though most of the heatsink is actually below the GPU with the heat pipes aiming straight down. This could make the heatsink not perform efficiently. If he lies his case on it's back it will orientate the card as it was designed to be operated. I'm not saying this is definitely the problem. It's worth trying to find out though.
The heatpipes on most GPU's exit to the side of the GPU. I believe your Lightning did as well. The Matrix cooler is physically different and has 3 of it's 5 heat pipes going directly down with the way his case orientates the card.
When did they get rid of the automerge double post feature? Anyway, I see now what you are saying, my apologies, however it will still CONDUCT heat through the pipes. Again, its not convection that does it. Could it be more efficient in a different orientation, probably... but Im just not sure by how much. I highly doubt its the majority of the difference though......BUT I have been known to be wrong at times, LOL! Well, I suppose, its not like that is the solution to use our case flipped on its arse...but will determine if that is the issue.
I read somewhere about bad cooler on HD7950 DirectCU II. Same overheating... They show exactly how cooler don't tuch one part of graphic chip... But that is ASUS and they hide problems very well. When you see 3 slot cooler you expect 65-70C on high OC but my ex 580DCII reach 80C with mid OC easy, big, massive, awkward...hard to install, that massive cooler make bad noise and dangle when you install card and blow 80C in my PC, little out, little inside. Every other hardware was little hotter than with stock cards. I hate when someone buy something and other start to blame other hardware for that. That massive coolers are not as they seem in many cases. After that I use for myself only cards to blow air out of case. And no such bad case on the world to make these temps. I don't look that open cards at all.
Hey everyone, I apologize for not replying. The semester is almost over and all the work is piling. Gentle Typhoon to the left is pulling air out (perhaps it should be pulling air in instead?), Barely visible Gentle Typhoon to the top is pulling air out. The two 180mm Air Penetrators on the bottom are pulling air in. I have also left the side panel open but it makes a negligible difference. Here are some close-ups: And the back exhaust area: *Just want to add in that I did clean everything with compressed air, even though the last picture begs to differ
Well, IMO, your problem is the case and position of the card. Now, is the back fan pushing or pulling air inside the case? I think it is pulling out.. reverse that fan... That is a messed up design for a case IMO for good air flow.
Hi there! First post as i was googling around the 7970 Matrix Platinum for answers of my own to some GPU Tweak issues and i stumbled across this thread and thought i'd give you my experience. First of all let me start my telling you i owned the GTX580 Matrix Platinum and moved on the the 7970 Matrix Platinum on release (pre-ordered it), so I've had a lot of experience and have been bombarding ROG with feedback. Here's a few things: Matrix Platinum 7970 like the GTX580 version, uses a bespoke (as such) voltage controller. Which means that GPUz can't detect any changes, i set to 1.35v and it will still say 1.256v. I would use a multimeter if you want accurate results or use GPU Tweak monitor for software results. Likewise, no other overclocking software will work with these cards due to the voltage controller and sometimes the fan controller too. So you're stuck with GPU Tweak if you want to control everything. 90c+? I've NEVER seen that temperature at 100% fan speed and i've pushed 1.36v through this card. I assume BOTH fans are working? Related to fans, please note that since the later versions of GPU Tweak, the fans work independently to each other. Fan1 is linked to the GPU Temperature and Fan2 is linked to the VDDC (VRM) temperature. There is a firmware update to this card. You can download from ASUS' website, it may or may not help in this issue, but what have you got to lose? If i were you, I would test temperatures outside of Kombustor, it's extremely taxing and unrealistic. Run Heaven with the settings below over 5 loops and take the highest from that. If you still see 90c~ then i would start an RMA process going if i were you tbh. Something is definitely up with your card. If you have any further issues then i am over on the Overclockers UK forum and on the ROG forums. Though i'll check back here at a later date.
Your problem is fault card. Install card out of case I can beg they will thit 3C less. Your air conditions is perfect. That two AP181 cool excellent. I look every of them hold biggest balloon in air. You can remove all fans and you will get 5C higher temps, without all fans that card need to work around max 70C. You can do what you want, on your place I would start test out of case if card hit more than 5C = - than in official test back them card and they can make proper case only for Matrix to hit only 85C not 95C. 2x Gentle Typhoon and 2x AP181 in case and someone talk about bad cooling. Try out of case.
The fan on the bottom, below the card isn't helping either as it is working against the airflow from the graphics card.
People I don't know do you feel ever Silverstone AP181 and that Airflow... That is like refrigerator in cases. Tower cooler are worse than Hydro Series because heat stay inside the case and that is much worse but in this case card is problem and I think cooler don't sit good or some other hardware problem and that cause overheating. Because of that I always go on Hydro series and close cards like FTW and Classified because they have phases and VRM better that stock models and almost all heat go out of case and nobody can't tell me my Case is not good and my cooling is not excellent. You look in one of best airflow on market. He can't make air pressure with both fans to push air on card. Two very powerful fans, maybe most powerful on marker cool graphic card and two best 120mm fans remove heat out of case, no better cooling than on that picture. I liked other case more than Silverstone but their quality is for me better than CM example and if you want case with best fabric fans, not aftermarket Silverstone with 2 or 3 AP181 on floor is far best cooling case with their fans.
I get what you're saying but the silverstone AP fans punch a massive amount of air into the case. Nice ambient air. It is that air that which moves up the case and is used by the fans on the graphics card to wick heat off the fins. There will be turbulence in the air due to the fans directions but the AP fans continually push fresh air in (and lots of it. If it's the same as the FT02, they're high static pressure 180mm fans. That's a lot of air flow being put in. So no matter how messed up the air flow is the colder air is constantly being pushed in from the bottom - it must move up the case. The gpu heatsink being lower than the gpu means nothing, and the alignment of the heatpipes are irrelevant to air flow. The heat pipes primary purpose is to transfer heat from gpu to fins. Once the heat is on the fins the cards gpu starts to over heat if the gpu can no longer dump heat onto the (no longer) colder fins via the heat pipes. But here the hot fins are constantly being cooled not only by the gpu's fans but also by the direct cooling from the AP fans on the bottom of the case. Also, the gap in the case at the left allows fresh air to be dragged right over the fans of the gpu - that will dump cold air (allowing the wicking of heat) onto the gpu fins. That left AP fan alone is cooling the gpu. It doesn't matter where the hot air goes because it's not going to adversely affect the flow fro the left hand side AP fan. Even with this type of cooler with heat being dumped into the case the layout still works well. I had the case and I've had customer coolers. It's not the case. That big blue arrow is cold air being drawn up by the out take fan. That cold air is what the gpu fans are using to blow over the fins. To demonstrate, the horizontal fins push hot air out to the sides. This air is pushed up and out. The AP fan pushes the cold air to the front of the gpu cooler. The gpu cooler fans will push this air onto the fins, cooling them by convection.
Ah.. I haven't tried to flash the firmware update yet, but I'm reluctant to since I've never flashed a card before. Both fans are definitely working and pushing air onto the card, but my temps still reach ridiculous levels. On Battlefield with 50% on both fans, my card reaches a little more than 80C after 30 minutes. I've previously owned an ASUS 7970 DCII Top and it never broke 70C with a 40% fan at any given time The Battlefield 3 results above are with 1.23V at 1200MHz for the Matrix. I'll post back again with Heaven 3.0 results, however, I've noticed that it doesn't stress cards as much as games do any more. I get hotter temperatures running games (I've noticed this with a ASUS 7970 DCII Top, a reference EVGA GTX 670, and an MSI GTX 670 Power Edition). I just want to thank you for taking your time and explaining that so clearly. I'll add in that my room temperature is within 1C of 23C, and the computer is elevated - on my desk, so there is nothing that could potentially block any fresh air going to the 180mm Air Penetrators. My PSU is orientated correctly; it pulls in air from the bottom of my case and exhausts it through the small opening on the side panel. It is not a passive air cooler; it is the active stock cooler with 2 100mm fans.
I see excellent airflow on that picture. Nothing, nothing can make 95C in that card. You can install good one and remove all fans from case you will have 10C MAX more. Try card out of case, but that is unnecessary job. Don't do anything what will destroy your warranty that is my strong recommendation for you.
I've already tried the card with the side panel open; I think that suffices in seeing if there are in fact air flow problems. Looks like I'm out of options other than to request an RMA
Did you try reorienting your case to position the card as designed? ie: Put the case on it's back end. Sorry if I missed where you said you tried it and it didn't work. I only suggest it because there are some cooler designs that aren't compatible with being turned 90 degrees like that and the cooler on the Matrix might be one.
Hi everyone! I've got great news. To begin with, I started fiddling around with the settings some more on ASUS GPU Tweak, bumping voltages down and whatnot, and using MSI Kombustor mainly as a stability and temperature test (Bad choice I know, but continue reading). Voltages didn't really do much for me, at least nothing too significant that could bump my temperatures below 90C when using Kombustor. I fiddled around some more, and finally moved on to the load line calibration %. This setting alone made significant difference in the temperatures I was getting. I set it to 25% (the lowest possible value) and used Kombustor; I was getting 90C and above before I called it quits. I then set it to 100% and noticed my temps hover at 72C. What a significant difference that made; I thought LLC was just adding more voltage to the lowered voltage when under load. I never thought that that would help that much since it's essentially adding more voltage. The results for the LLC testing was after pressing the default button, with 100% on both fans, moving the power slider to 120%, and changing LLC % to the above values. I've changed the GPU voltage to 1200mV (but that was for all the tests) since 1260mV was way too high for 1100MHz.
Wow, I didn't know GPU Tweak came with a LLC setting! My card desperately needs that due to vdroop. Thing is with the spikes in GPU usage, are you sure your card isn't throttling itself down now?

New Variations on Old Crowd Psychology
The Kerner Commission experts also owed a debt to the military's patronage of expert work on the nature of social upheaval and to those elements of the crowd psychology tradition that had survived as themes in postwar theoretical models of crowd formation and revolutionary stages. By the late 1960s, crowd psychology was called by a new name, "collective behavior," and had migrated throughout the social sciences via the behavioral revolution of the 1950s, which stripped crowd psychology of its obvious antidemocratic tendencies and injected it with a heavy dose of scientific method.[81] The theoretical work of Kerner Commission consultants Neil Smelser and Ralph Turner kept alive the residue of the old psychology in the form of a sophisticated new sociology. The idea that groups were subject to unconscious social contagion remained viable, alongside the conviction that race rioting was appropriately classified with religious cults, natural disasters, and other types of social panic.[82]
The Kerner Commission experts employed phase models of urban disturbance, compiled elaborate chronologies, designed multifactored riot classification schemes, and hypothesized that rioters shared a common personality profile.[83] All of these recalled military efforts, like the
failed Project Camelot, which had used these very techniques to make the explosiveness of civil unrest in the Third World at least a little bit more predictable for military and foreign policy-makers. They also all employed, sometimes almost verbatim, the theoretical jargon of social science for descriptive purposes: riots were labeled as "expressive," "suggestible," "permissive," or as prototypes of "social contagion."[84]
There were significant differences, however, having to do with the sympathy that black Americans had gained since the 1950s through the civil rights movement and the growing presence of intellectuals in a variety of 1960s social movements. The justice of civil rights demands, the slowness of racial change, and decided patterns of activism among highly educated Americans on university campuses had momentous consequences within the literature of particular social science disciplines. Also important was the movement of the psychological professions away from their preoccupations with the abnormal, a shift that decisively changed the subjects of psychological experts, beginning with World War II. All of these developments combined to make it less likely that experts in the late 1960s would view urban rioters as deviants in the grip of irrational forces. We have already considered instances of this tendency toward a more positive and rational theory of collective behavior among Kerner Commission experts, such as Elliot Liebow, who suggested that rioting was psychologically empowering for individuals whose lives were otherwise impaired by apathy and hopelessness.
Rioting was sometimes even posited as an ideological stance, a necessary, if destructive, stage in the civil rights movement, or, as it was more likely to be called in the late 1960s by advocates of this position, the black revolution. This perspective was only possible because the irrational contamination of ideological commitment, a core element of the World War II worldview, was challenged in the 1960s. The terrible destruction wrought by enemy national characters and the deep emotional appeal of fascism faded from view during a decade when the ideological commitments closest at hand—eradicating racism, poverty, and imperialism—seemed beyond reproach and the postwar "end of ideology" appeared nothing so much as an irresponsible abandonment of moral principle.
A number of Kerner Commission experts and research projects tested out this positive new assessment of ideology. Riots could appear to be purposeful, organized protests against legitimate and pressing grievances, instead of hysterical fits. That riots were taken seriously as a form of political action was sometimes indicated through the vocabu-
lary used to describe them: "urban rebellions" competed with "mob violence" and "lawless anarchy."
Widespread consideration of riots as a rational collective activity was new, but the idea itself was not. As early as the Harlem riot of 1943, Kenneth Clark had suggested that a significant number of black Americans condoned rioting as a specific means to achieve the end of racial justice.[85] By 1965 he denied that ghetto violence was an uncontrollable force and chose instead to call it "a weird social defiance" of objective social conditions ranging from substandard housing and soaring crime and infant morality rates to impoverishment and discrimination.[86] Clark, however, sometimes reverted to the old crowd psychology themes in his observations of riots. "Such anarchy could even be a subconscious or conscious invitation to self-destruction," he noted that same year. "Those who despair in the ghetto follow their own laws—generally the laws of unreason."[87]
Gary Marx, one of the commission's in-house researchers, did not so much criticize the old crowd psychology as try to turn it upside down, by applying its principles to the behavior of police, rather than rioters. "Who controls the agents of social control?" was, Marx submitted, a major question that generally went unasked and unanswered. He went so far as to suggest that law enforcement personnel had caused urban riots, or at least intensified them, through the classic pattern of contagion, panic, and frustration usually attributed to crowd members.[88] Marx's themes found strong encouragement in the publications of the Lemberg Center for the Study of Violence at Brandeis University, a research center, established in 1965, that had blazed trails eagerly followed by Kerner Commission experts. The Lemberg Center staff insisted that rioters could be understood as reasonable actors frequently faced with "police panic." Further, they speculated, rioters were attempting to solidify a positive sense of community and masculinity. They simply could not be compared with Gustave Le Bon's primitive and herdlike crowds.[89]

Recipe by National Pork Board
"This recipe was developed by Chef Paul Kirk, author of Paul Kirk's Barbecue Sauces Cookbook."
Watch video tips and tricks
3 slabs pork back ribs
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup paprika
3 tablespoons seasoned salt
2 tablespoons chili powder
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon celery salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon garlic powder
2 teaspoons ground sage
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 cup your favorite barbecue sauce
1/2 cup honey
I ended up braising the ribs in my oven at 300 degrees for about 2 hours and then put them on the BBQ with the sauce for about 15 minutes. Delicious! If you don't want to worry about them on the BBQ, the oven is the way to go.
Very good recipe. I made the ribs in the oven at 300 degrees for three hours then put the bbq sauce on them for an hour. Finished them off by removing the foil just to expose the ribs under a low broiler for a few mins. I will make this again for sure.

These ribs were fantastic. My family and I agreed that these were probably the best ribs we had ever had. I cooked the ribs uncovered in the oven @ 325 for 2 hours and finished them off on the bbq with the sauce for about 10-15 min. Excellent!! This will be our rib recipe of choice from now on - thanks for sharing this one.
Damn these were good! My BBQ died 1/2 way through, so I wrapped them tightly in foil and baked them in the oven set at 300, brushed BBQ sauce on them and broiled them a bit to finish 'em off. They were so good my daughter who is ultra picky loved them, and my husband said they were good enough to convert a vegetarian!
We just committed the 3rd deadly sin, GLUTTONY! WOW, these ribs are sooo good. My husband, a confirmed rib hater, loved them. I did mine in a roaster in the oven at 325 for a couple of hours, lid off for the last hour, an additional 15-20 mins with the sauce and they turned out just perfectly!
Oh my Gosh! I needed this recipe because I am making these for the second time (in just three weeks), and I thought I had better make sure and tell anyone, master griller or not, that these ribs are what all these reviews say they are, YUM! So if you are looking for a delicious-and easy- recipe for ribs, you've found them.
Do not change a thing about the seasonings for this recipe. Right on the taste buds. Everything plays against each other in the most wonderful way. Cooked as suggested on the grill, yes, very, very good. Am keeping this rub in my kitchen all year long. Perfect combination.
Fixed this for father's day - kind of risky trying a new recipe for this occasion. It was fabulous!!!! We really liked the ingredients, so we went for it - and I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone. It was easy easy easy (and I need easy).

This is the best ping pong / table tennis shot I have ever seen. Based on the look of the guy who got beaten on the point, he hadn't ever seen anything like this either. In the immediate aftermath of the shot, there is a brief moment where he maybe wants the shot to be called illegal. Then he just accepts that he had something awesome happen against him, so he applauds the shot. If there was ever actual cause for one of those excessive ping pong celebrations, this shot is it.

This rug is extremely thin and stiff. It was rolled tightly onto itself. Upon unrolling we found that it had been wrinkled in the rolling process and sat that way for who knows how long in a warehouse (Egypt). I don't think the wrinkle that is the full length of the rug will ever ease out. The rug is so thin and stiff, it does not lay flat and buckles in a number of places. Color not true to my computer. Much darker, duller brown colors with no golden brown hue. I am very disappointed.

Holidays are right around the corner and that means more travel more flight delay is more security pat downs.
Between the airlines in the TSA it looks like the cards are stacked against consumers be joining me now Katie -- I executive.
Your for flyers rights dot org which fights for passenger protections.
Katie thanks for being with us tonight I wanna start by talking about the TSA.
-- -- spent some 57 billion on the TSA over the last ten years are we getting your money's worth.
We are not getting our money's worth something's very wrong with that government organization and it needs to be pared down and made a lot smarter.
Well how do we do that.
Well what we do is we find trained people people who actually have some training in law enforcement and maybe even medical training you for going to have them.
Reaching their hands down 85 year old women's pants to investigate their medical devices.
And sure that they have the kind of training needed to deal -- All different kinds of human beings that are gonna come through TSA I think we need to stop looking at a 100% of Americans as terrorists and we need to start looking smartly.
At risk based intelligence driven security.
And that would mean a lot less TSA employees and a lot happier -- So something's not right there do you think -- Right solution is to privatize this thing.
I do I think if we -- private security you'd see a little bit more of what you get when you leave San Francisco airport which.
I did a couple weeks ago and you get you do get a thorough pat down unfortunately private security has to follow whatever TSA guidelines are so they really can't.
The veer to far off from what TSA says they can do -- can't do but they were much friendly here.
And I noticed that they've really it adopted a much friend -- nicer way of being in San Francisco where they are privatized.
Well -- -- does seem like the TSA folks are often grumpy I got to tell you I've been through airports twice in the last two months and in on both occasions.
I don't describe -- but I've I've been grouped.
For no good reason because I don't have any I'm not hearing anything illegal I'm not you know I don't I I don't know why I get picked out.
I feel the same -- as an airline passenger rights advocate -- every single time I go to the airport.
I opt out of the scanner because I don't want someone in the -- -- looking at my naked body.
And I asked for the pat down and with the exception of a couple weeks ago every single time I've had a bad experience where I literally had to have like an out of bus body.
Experience to deal with it it just feels so violating and older Americans feel particularly.
Agrees to -- happen.
They feel -- they're -- Terrorists anywhere content I mean look we do you have to stay safe right and I -- unwilling to put up with a lot to be safe.
So certainly draw that line what can be done to make -- both safe and not feel like we're being strip search every time we go on a flight.
Well they need did this do something similar to what Israel has done and start looking for bombers not bombs and they need to go to a biometric technology in our opinion.
That means that you would have a background check our for your fingerprint and an iris scan and if you check out.
You don't have to go through anything more than the metal detector -- would speed up the lines.
It would create a large group of low risk travelers that can speedily get through the security process and then TSA could focus on.
Those that truly do present a risk at the TSA checkpoint.
While -- a long way to go that's for sure tell me securitization actually is about airlines mostly right how did you start this thing.
Yeah -- my family was stuck on the tarmac for nine hours and seventeen minutes and the toilets overflowed and there was no food or water.
And it turned out that that was a very common occurrence -- organization started out.
Fighting the tarmac delays with the airlines we really didn't take on TSA until a couple of years ago.
When they introduced the body scanners and then our membership was up in arms saying -- you've got to do something to stop this.
It's a violation of our fourth amendment rights and then -- TSA introduced.
The really intrusive pat downs and that's when.
People started saying announced -- just not gonna fly if I have to go through this every time I go to the airport so a lot now you -- -- sensibly taking on both the airlines and TSA and trying to bring some sanity.
Back to the whole travel price.
I have to tell you it's a whole different feeling these days flying and it just feels like.
To just such a wait.
When you get that Arab or -- -- -- And in going to TSA delays people it has and feel vulnerable they end -- getting on -- plane and feeling totally stressed out and before TSA implemented these horrible procedures.
There are a lot of people -- had sweaty palms when they fly but now.
That's why some of many what I call air raids everybody that re -- ends -- -- -- Yet you know -- get a clean and somebody's getting kicked off -- -- something to flight attendant or.
You know not doing something in a way -- a flight attendant wants to see them do -- it's because everybody is so stressed out.
Because their experience from beginning to -- has been awful even well purchasing a ticket are it is troubling for people.
Well -- -- we obviously can go on anomaly got a lot of complaints about the airlines about the TSA you were great to bring it to -- thanks for talking with us today really appreciate your time.
Thank you so my.

A healthy diet is a smart investment

Eating healthy is expensive. I've heard it. You've heard it — maybe you even agree.
Junk food is cheap. How can you argue against the dollar menu?
I would suggest, however, that the discussion needs to be about more than cost. It must also take into account health and wellness. My position on this is supported by a recent study in the journal "Intelligence."
This particular study looked at the type of meals young children received (slow food versus fast food) and whether there was an association with cognitive ability and cognitive growth. Overall, slow food was associated with better cognitive ability and cognitive growth in childhood.
These findings build on previous research showing that diets rich in antioxidant (lots of fruits and vegetables) are good food for the brain.
Of course, many other factors play into a child's cognitive abilities, including socioeconomic status. Providing proper nutrition is not without challenges, as we know. Food security, lack of neighborhood markets and an over-abundance of junk food in poorer neighborhoods are all very real problems.
Of course, the appeal of fast food isn't just that it's cheap. It's a mainstay for many people because it's easy and, yes, fast.
I can't change the world or the fact that people's lives are so busy that they need meals that require no preparation. But even if you need food that's quick, you can make healthier choices without breaking the bank. Consider these ideas:
- Skip the fries and choose or bring seasonal or canned fruit.
- Pair frozen pizza with steamed veggies, salad or fruit.
- Buy fresh, frozen or canned fruits and vegetables depending on what fits your budget and lifestyle.
The government estimates that getting the recommended servings of fruits and vegetables can cost as little as $2 a day. That seems like a pretty good investment to me.
Here's to your health,
