Attention Synchromystic Bloggers (UPDATE)
Let me know...
UPDATE: And they're off! The syncs are in the mail, kids! Well, except for you, Droidy, Mr. No Email Leaving Person!
UPDATE 2: OK, I sent off all of the info to a bunch of top-rate researchers. Let's see something happen with this material! This is actually an interesting experiment for the Synchrosphere- I will put up a post with links and commentary once the pages go up.

Sorry, that isn't my style.ReplyDelete
I'm not smart enough to keep up with all the details you guys do, but I did want to let you know about my synchromystic awakening that happened yesterday. I was trying to wrap my head around why and how these things happen.
You and Blob are linked in the flash piece. This is probably the strangest blog I've ever done and I apologize in advance: Alien Interview
I'm in, brother. Coming late the game, but in for the fourth quarter.ReplyDelete
If you're still sending the JOker/ Ledger links, I'd love a crack at it.
Sorry, the ship sailed. We'll getcha next time.ReplyDelete
"Maritas' Joker/Ledger/Crow Sync Report"ReplyDelete
I've been on this a *long time* and only got Part One!
(The "c" key is broken on my keyboard and that doesn't help.)
I put it in a section of my "Web Net" (which is a collection of interrelated blogs, which I've set up over a long period of time, as an outline, and am starting to fill in and to polish just very lately).
Comments, suggestions and/or corrections welcome.
Made some sync recognition and comments on the Synchromysticism Forum under the "Upcoming movie syncs?" topic:ReplyDelete
related to the post I made for Marita
Awesome. Thanks for the updates, Peggy. I'll be putting up the links once I hear from the other bloggers.ReplyDelete
I definitely want to go see the "Dark Knight" movie now, ASAPReplyDelete
I polished and annotated the commentary from the Forum and made it an entry here:
Didn't realize I would have the time for that. Thank you for your patience.
Can't wait to see the rest of the treatments and comments after the movie is seen. :)
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Mine is up too, it's nearly the same as Peggy's, obviously ;p though there's some different syncs added :)ReplyDelete
Very fun, and at least I share the "sin eater" load with Marita now. Clever guy Chris ;p it's a conspiracy! ;p
(ignore last comment ;p, misunderstood there ;p)
Uhm and with Peggy, geez nevermind my fuzzy perception I posted all that after a party last night ;pReplyDelete
Chris, peggy carter and dedroidify thanks for looking into my stuff I really enjoyed your take on it. I have to say though, that if you go by the tarot cards and the freudian symbology in these syncs it does seem to have a positive message. I had the feeling back then when I send it to Chris that if I don't make a point of stopping it somewhere, that it will go on for ever. Facinating!!!ReplyDelete
thanks for the support and credit guys, though I think you guys did a much better job and did it much more credit!!!!

Warren County Local History by Dallas Bogan

Lebanon is known as the racing capital of the Miami Valley. Whether for entertainment
or suppositions of monetary gains, the track continues to be a year round attraction
for all who enters its gates.
On May 19, 1948, the Lebanon Trotting Association opened a 19 day meet at the Warren County fairgrounds, the first such gathering of its kind. More than $50,000 had been spent to spruce up the grandstand, track and grounds, and, as was claimed, the finest lighting equipment in the United States was installed.
The meet, which was finalized June 9, had purses and stakes which totaled close to $75,000. Approximately 400 horses were entered. Trotters from all over Ohio and many other states attended the grand affair.
In July 1792, Oliver M. Spencer, just a lad, along with two men and a Mrs.
Coleman, were returning in a canoe from Cincinnati to Columbia (now a part of
Cincinnati). As they were landing on the bank, they were ambushed by two Indians
and fired upon. One man was killed and the other wounded.
Jumping from the canoe into the river saved Mrs. Coleman. Young Spencer was captured and taken to the Maumee River area, where he survived for about eight months, and was later ransomed.
As our story goes, it was learned in Columbia that the young lad had been captured. The settlers gathered and a pursuance of the Indians was on. They had no trace of the suspects.
Henry Botzelle was in a party of searchers that followed a trail to the forks of Turtlecreek. He spotted traces of smoke in the woods close to the creek. Carefully he made his way toward the smoke and saw an Indian leaning against a tree, eating meat from a large bone.
Botzelle aimed his gun at the Indian and shot him dead. As he fell, he gave out a chilling yell, which was answered by his companion who was nearby. Botzelle instantly reloaded his gun and waited for the second Indian to emerge, and he killed him.
He quickly buried the two Indians in the sand near the creek, and carried home with him trophies of his achievement. These included a fine silver mounted rifle of English construction, and a bullet pouch made of panther skin, with the panther's paw for the lapel. In the pouch were the scalps of four white men. (The preceding was provided by Herschel W. Price of Butlerville and inserted into the 1903 Atlas.)
In 1803 Nathaniel Massie deeded to Ezekiel Cleaver 135 acres for $405.75,
or $3.00 per acre; John Overton to Abijah O'Neall, 621 acres in Griffin's Survey
for $1,255, or $2.02 per acre. In 1805, Benjamin Anderson to Abijah O'Neall,
1,000 acres on Caesar's Creek, for $2,000, or $2.00 per acre. In 1807, Thomas
Posey to Jonathan Wright, 298 1/2 acres in Survey 1056, for $297, close to $1.00
per acre. In 1807, Abijah O'Neall to Robert Millhouse, 210 acres on Caesar's
Creek, for $72.10, approximately 34 cents per acre.
Lots 8 in Miami Square, and 5 and 7 in Washington Square, Waynesville, to Jonathan Newman, for $32. Lots Nos. 5, 6 and 7 in Miami Square, to Samuel Test, $87.
The lowest land level in the county is the bed of the Little Miami River at
Loveland, which is about 125 feet above low water at Cincinnati. Lytle is the
highest point from Dayton to Cincinnati, it being 607 feet in elevation.
Next is Spring Hill in Washington Township, with an elevation of 600 feet; next is Utica with an elevation of 534 feet. From the highest to the lowest land in the county is a difference of about 482 feet.
The residents of Lebanon viewed a remarkable spectacle on February 17, 1881,
when the first train entered the town.
At 2:45 p.m. two locomotives, the first ever seen in Lebanon, steamed across Broadway amidst a roar of cannons, bell ringing, and steam whistles blowing at full blast.
The city was wild with excitement. Lebanon had never seen such a great outpouring of its citizens. Because of this momentous event all schools were ordered closed by the mayor.
Just prior to the locomotives crossing the intersection, a golden spike was driven into the track. The honor of speechmaking was given to the editor of The Western Star, W. C. McLintock.
On March 10, 1881, Lebanon saw its first passenger train steam through her small station. The Lebanon House held a banquet in honor of the occasion, and the president of the railroad gave a speech. The name of this railway was the Cincinnati Northern Railway Company. It was originally a narrow gauge railway of 3 feet, but was later changed to a standard gauge of 4 ft. 8 in.
The following was inserted into The Western Star, dated August 23, 1917. It read that William Hay and Samuel Day, residing between Waynesville and Lytle, so far as was known, had the honor of raising the tallest corn stock for 1917. These gentlemen raised a stock of 16 ft. 2 in. in height. The first ear of corn was about ten feet from the ground.
The Warren County Record occasionally inserted a column into its newspaper
entitled, "Heart Yearnings." It was written by a person synonymous
with such noted writers of the present as Ann Landers, etc. I shall now quote
from this column; it is dated July 26, 1902.
Q. Does it argue against a woman that she has no men friends?
A. That depends upon conditions. Most women have but little regard for the feelings of men. They regard it as an evidence of brightness to hurt their feelings. If women have no friends among the men on that account it argues seriously against them. I can call to mind women advancing in years who have no men friends left, and their state is not enviable. Cultivate friends among men. Treat them politely. All men are not brutes.
Q. I am a poor man, on a small salary, which is about sufficient to clothe me in a fit way and pay my board. The girl I go with complains that the young men do not spend money on the girls, and that she would never marry one of them. What would you advise me to do?
A. It is said that a young man lives on love. If that be so you had better drop your board, and devote that money to the girl. If she must have a man who spends money, and you have not sufficient, bid her good-bye.

TPWD News Release — June 3, 2010
Those questions and more will be addressed at the Aquatic Plant Management Symposium at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center (TFFC) in Athens on June 19. The symposium will run from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Preregistration is encouraged; the $20 fee includes a barbecue lunch. To register call (903) 676-2277. All registration fees will be collected at the door; only cash or checks will be accepted.
For the most part both public impoundments and private ponds in Texas are created, not natural, and most therefore do not have native aquatic vegetation. Exotic vegetation often invades and can hamper access, impede boating and create unsafe conditions for swimming.
The symposium will feature presentations on Texas Parks and Wildlife Department's (TPWD) statewide aquatic plant management plan, Lake Athens aquatic plant control rules, and a case study of aquatic plant management on Lake Conroe.
Dr. Michael Masser of Texas A&M University will speak on management of aquatic weeds in private lakes, and TPWD fisheries biologists Dr. Richard Ott and Mark Webb will present information on native vegetation that can be planted to provide habitat for fish, improve water quality and help crowd out invasive species. Webb will also talk about controlling noxious plants.
A tour of a native aquatic plant nursery recently established at TFFC will show attendees how they can grow their own aquatic plants for planting into ponds.
Pond owners may bring samples of plants from their pond in waterproof plastic bags for identification and control recommendations.
The symposium is sponsored by the Lake Athens Property Owners Association (LAPOA), which is donating the proceeds from registration to TFFC's annual Bluegill Family Fishing Tournament. "People need to be aware of what are good weeds and what are bad weeds," said Bob Bushnell, LAPOA president. "Our purpose is to improve the well-being of the lake community, but we know that many ranchers and private pond owners are also interested in learning about weeds and how to deal with them."
The symposium will be held in the Hart-Morris Conservation Center at TFFC. For directions visit http://tpwd.texas.gov/spdest/visitorcenters/tffc/visit/information/map/ or call (903) 676-2277.
Please note that entry to the Hart-Morris Conservation Center is NOT through TFFC's main entrance. Instead, when approaching TFFC heading east on F.M. 2495, turn right onto Peninsula Point Rd., the second street after crossing the bridge over Lake Athens. Follow Peninsula Point Rd. (also known as CR 4812) for 0.2 mile to Gate E on your left. Enter Gate E and park in the lot surrounding the Conservation Center.

Hydraulic fracturing, known as fracking, is making the US an energy independent nation. It's made energy the only bright spot in Barack Obama's dismal economy even though the Obama administration, "environmentalists," and Democrats everywhere have been trying to stop it for the last six years. The President likes to boast about how "he" has made the US energy independent, but that just a lie. What did you expect.
The evidence that fracking is safe is so overwhelming, even the EPA has backed off trying to shut it down.
The latest front in the war on fracking is Colorado. Colorado has huge energy reserves that can be tapped with fracking. Out of state environmentalists and California transplants have bee working with Colorado's Democrats – including their US Senator running for reelection Mark Udall – have been fighting fracking despite the fact that it will provide thousands of jobs and will produce millions in tax revenue for the state.
There's an anti-fracking initiative on the ballot in November in Colorado and it could have been a shoo-in. Not so much any more.
Gov. John Hickenlooper and other influential Colorado Democrats announced they are pulling their support from November ballot initiatives that would severely restrict oil and natural gas production using hydraulic fracturing. In addition to imposing extensive setbacks in residential areas, the initiatives would give local communities authority to ban fracking.
There is widespread support in Colorado for fracking, although big environmental money could have made the initiative a winner. Republicans, in an unusual move, got out in front on fracking when Republican Senatorial candidate Cory Gardner went on the attack. He's had help from the folks who produced this great ad.
There's another great version of it featuring a Russian billionaire and they're both making an impact.
Fracking, and Cory Gardner's outspoken support of it, has put him within 1.5 points of Udall, well within the margin of error, especially when you consider that as time passes more and more Republicans are seeming to be willing to crawl through broken glass to defeat Democrats in November.

Right, but the thing is that with AT&T's new plan, if you use less than 200MB per month, you can drop your rate significantly by getting the $15 plan -- and if you go over, you pay in increments of $15 per 200MB. No crazy hidden charges for overages, just clear stepping and scaling for usage. That's a great, pro-consumer change, even if you don't necessarily like the rates or the increments of data.
So why, then, does a data plan so focused on the consumption component charge an extra $20 for tethering (and without even adding any data to your pool)? For a plan so focused on usage, this makes absolutely no sense. There is zero technical or logical difference between a computer funneling data through a phone or the phone requesting that data itself, especially when you're paying by the meg. Par for the course with AT&T, it's a cynical and sour-tasting ploy to gouge customers for every last cent before consumers wise up and demand it be bundled. And the sad thing is, a lot of people are going to pay for it in the mean time.

Your info doesn't make sense. In this case Apple is selling you 2GB of data for $25. If you want to use that SAME 2GB of data while tethered, they charge you another $20. It's like ordering food at a buffet for $25, and getting no silverware. When you ask for a fork, they charge you a $20 fee.

These definitely don't stick out from the ear as far as the Tour edition, however when looking at sound, we aren't sure, because we haven't heard them. That said, looking at price, they are more expensive than both the Tour and the Heartbeats, so we are guessing that they offer a more premium sound.

And again I ask, how much time have you spent with both an iPhone 3GS, and the Motorola DROID? I've spent a lot of time with each, and while I use an iPhone as my primary device, I am constantly (CONSTANTLY) having to use other devices as my primary device for a week or two at a time in order to review them.
You can do a feature-to-feature comparison all you want, but sometimes a loss in one area negates in win in all others. Heck, put up a Corvette against a Kia, and go feature to feature...but if the brakes on the Corvette don't work, I'll take the Kia.
The fact is, the DROID has some things about it that just make it not as polished a product as the iPhone. The keyboard is an absolute mess, and while the software on-screen keyboard is better, it's nowhere near what the iPhone has. For many buying a smartphone, they do a lot of typing (texts, emails, entering URLs, Twitter, etc.) - the DROID makes this a chore.
That is just one example.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC Residency (4W-3L-2D) kick off a Canada Day long weekend of provincial competition on Friday afternoon by hosting Victoria Highlanders FC (6W-3L-2D) in a United Soccer Leagues (USL) Premier Development League (PDL) match-up at Richmond's Minoru Park. Kickoff is set for 4 p.m. PT.
Whitecaps FC will then travel to the Fraser Valley on Monday to face Abbotsford Mariners (3W-5L-2D) at Bateman Park at 6 p.m. PT.
Whitecaps FC and Highlanders FC meet for the third and final time in the PDL Western Conference, Northwest Division this season, with the previous two games ending in a 2-2 draw and a 2-1 Residency victory. It is also the third and final meeting of the season between the 'Caps and Abbotsford, with the Residency team winning both of their previous matches by a combined score of three to one.
The Residency team welcome back five players this weekend, as Bryce Alderson, Yassin Essa, Adam Polakiewicz, Matteo Pasquotti, and Daniel Stanese all return from international duty with Canada's U-17 squad following their elimination from the 2011 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico this past weekend.
The five returnees each gained an immeasurable amount of experience in Mexico, and should return to PDL action fit and determined to help end the 'Caps current two-game losing streak. Coupled with the addition of MLS roster players Philippe Davies, Alexandre Morfaw, Bryan Sylvestre, and Long Tan, the Residency squad will look to get back in the win column and return to the top of the Northwest Division standings.
Polakiewicz and Pasquotti, and Stanese should help to support a backline that has leaned heavily on captain Derrick Bassi in recent weeks, while Alderson and Essa will help focus the attack and add some finish to a squad that has had no problem generating scoring chances this season.
Victoria come into Friday's match having won three straight, including back-to-back home victories this past weekend over Abbotsford Mariners and Tacoma Tide. The winning streak has catapulted Highlanders FC into second place in the Northwest Division, five points behind division leaders Kitsap Pumas and three points ahead of defending PDL champions Portland Timbers U-23's.
Pacing Highlanders FC during the recent winning streak has been forward Ashley Burbeary, who accounts for two goals and three assists in the past three matches. Look for Jamar Dixon to complement Burbeary in attack, with goalkeeper Eliot Mitrou handling the last line of defence.
Abbotsford enter Monday's match-up on the back of a 4-1 home victory over Tacoma Tide this past Wednesday night. Although in the middle of the Northwest Division standings, Abbotsford have been able to put forth strong efforts against some of the teams ahead of them, including victories over Portland and North Sound SeaWolves. Leading the attack for the Mariners is forward Sasa Plavsic with three goals in seven appearances, while goalkeeper Lucas Menz has seen the bulk of the action in goal thus far.
Whitecaps FC Residency travel south for a match against Tacoma Tide on Friday, July 8, as they enter the final third of their PDL regular season schedule. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. PT at Curtis High School in Tacoma, Washington.
Friday's match is part of a Canada Day doubleheader at Richmond's Minoru Park. First, at 4 p.m. PT, Whitecaps FC Residency host Victoria Highlanders FC in USL Premier Development League action, then at 7 p.m. PT, the women take the field, as Whitecaps FC and Victoria Highlanders FC meet in an all-British Columbia W-League derby clash. The game is part of the Whitecaps Women's Soccer Series presented by Kia - in partnership with the Girls Metro Soccer League - and is hosted by the Richmond Girls Soccer Association. Tickets for Friday's doubleheader are available online for just $12 at www.whitecapsfc.com/wtickets.

AMD Radeon HD 7970 Review: 28nm And Graphics Core Next, Together As Oneby Ryan Smith on December 22, 2011 12:00 AM EST
- Posted in
- GPUs
- Radeon
- Radeon HD 7000
Power, Temperature, & Noise
As always, we wrap up our look at a new video card with a look at the physical performance attributes: power consumption, temperatures, and noise. With new process nodes being the lifeblood of the GPU industry, each new process gives GPU manufacturers a chance to move their product along a continuum; do they take advantage of a power consumption reduction for the same performance level, a performance increase for the same power consumption, or something in between? In AMD's case they've chosen to try to maximize performance within Cayman's power budget, which means power, temperature, and noise should be similar to what we've seen with 6970, cooler improvements not withstanding.
Before we get into the charts, it's worth noting right now that we don't have a good idea of what 7970's operational voltage is, as we don't have any tools that can read 7970's VRMs. We believe it's close to Cayman's, but this is something that will require confirmation in the future.
Starting as always with idle power, we can immediately see the benefits of the work AMD has put into idle power usage with Southern Islands. AMD has been working hard to reduce idle power consumption since the 4870 and at this point they've finally beaten even the 3870, which was a relatively small GPU using GDDR3 RAM. AMD's official typical idle TDP here is 15W, and we have little doubt they're going to continue to whittle that number down on future generations.
While we're looking at idle power, we also wanted to take a look at AMD's "long idle" scenario, where a blanked display or being slave GPU in a multi-GPU setup gives a GPU the opportunity to go into a deeper sleep state as it's not needed for any work. Through ZeroCore Power AMD is able to shut off virtually every aspect of Tahiti when in a long idle state, allowing AMD to reduce the power consumption of 7970 to under 3W. Meanwhile for every other card there's a very slight gain to be had in long idle because the GPU can power down all of its display transmitters, but it's not nearly as effective as shutting down the entire GPU, which is why 7970 has a 10W advantage at the wall versus the next closest GPU.
As we said earlier in our look at ZeroCore Power technology, while the numbers are impressive enough, for the desktop the real use will be in multi-GPU systems as slave GPUs can be put in a ZCP state even while the master GPU is awake and working, significantly reducing idle power and noise in multi-GPU systems.
Moving on to our load power tests, based on our testing we have swapped out Crysis for Metro 2033 in this iteration of our benchmark suite as Metro 2033 was proving to be a bit more strenuous on our GPUs and is the only game to ever trigger PowerTune on the 6970.
Looking at Metro it's clear that the smaller fabrication process for 6970 has allowed AMD to achieve a lower power consumption level relative to their gaming performance – the 7970 leads the GTX 580 by 20-30% in performance while consuming 34W less at the wall. At the same time this test calls into question AMD's power targets. We're clearly drawing more power than the 6970 – 21W more to be precise – and while this could be explained by CPU power consumption I'm not convinced that's the case.
As for our pathological power consumption test we've moved on to OCCT, which at this point in time escapes NVIDIA's throttling mechanism and in spite of the presence of PowerTune still manages to be a hardware workload on AMD's GPUs than FurMark. OCCT backs up our earlier data from Metro that 7970 draws more power than 6970 even with the similar power targets. We're drawing 50W more at the wall, which on paper at least would put 7970's power consumption closer to 280W if AMD's original 250W target for 6970 is still correct. If all of this is correct, then it calls into doubt AMD's published power targets, as it looks like AMD has made a power/performance tradeoff with 7970 by trading slightly higher power consumption for what would be higher performance.
Up next is our look at idle temperatures. All of the last generation GPUs were highly competitive here and as a result it's a tough crowd as there's relatively little room to further reduce a GPU's temperature. Nevertheless the 7970 manages to squeak by the competition, with a recorded idle temperature of 34C, 1C lower than the GTX 580 and 2C lower than the 6970.
Moving on to temperatures under Metro, the results are quite surprising: the 7970 does really, really good here given its power consumption. At 74C the only cooler video cards are the 6850 and 5850, both of which are lower tier, lower power versions of higher end parts. Part of this can be traced back to AMD's cooling optimizations such as moving back to a full slot exhaust vent, but I don't believe that's a full explanation. We'll get back to this when we're looking at noise.
While the overall numbers are higher in OCCT, the relative rankings are unchanged from Metro. The only cooler cards in this lineup are the 6950 and 5850. Here the 7970 hits 79C, while the 6970 is slightly behind at 80C, and the GTX 500 series is in the upper 80s.
Last we have our look at noise, starting with idle noise. Much like our idle temperatures most single-GPU video cards tend to cluster together within 1dB, but the 7970 has managed to silence most of the rest of the pack, with a recorded noise level of 40.2dB. More impressive perhaps is the 7970 when in its Zero Core Power state. Because the fan turns off, the card is silent; 37.9dB(A) is the noise floor of our testbed.
Moving on to our load noise measurements the full picture of the 7970's cooling performance finally starts coming together. We've seen that the 7970 is a cool card, but is it a quiet card? The numbers say no. The 7970 is 3dB louder than the GTX 580 and 2dB louder than the 6970 even with its physical cooling improvements. Based on this combined with our temperature data it's clear that AMD has targeted aggressive cooling over silence, whereas NVIDIA traditionally targets silence over aggressive cooling. When it comes to our testbed AMD has probably overdone it – we could easily exchange 10C for less noise – but with a wide range of computers in the world it's hard to tell from a single testbed whether the cooling here is genuinely too aggressive for everyone, or if it's the opposite. What isn't in question is that the 7970 is going to be moderately loud, which coming from AMD is a surprising development.
Once again with OCCT the numbers are higher, but the facts are largely the same. The 7970 is now quieter than the GTX 580 due to PowerTune, but it's now 4dB louder than the 6970. Unlike Metro 57.3dB of noise is in the middle of the pack, but it stands to reason that AMD could have been a bit less aggressive on their fan speeds and made a quieter card as a result.

gevorg - Thursday, December 22, 2011 - link37.9dB is a horrible testbed for noise testing! WTF! Reply
mavere - Thursday, December 22, 2011 - linkSeriously!
With the prevalence of practically silent PSUs, efficient tower heatsinks, and large quiet fans, I cannot fathom why the noise floor is 37.9 dB. Reply
Finally - Thursday, December 22, 2011 - linkAs usual, AT is shooting straight for the brain-dam, I mean, ENTHUSIAST crowd feat. a non-mentioned power supply that should be well around 1000W in order to drive over-priced CPUs as well as quadruple GPU setups.
If you find that horrendous they will offer you not to read this review, but their upcoming HTPC review where they will employ the same 1000W power supply... Reply
B3an - Thursday, December 22, 2011 - link*face palm*
1: 1000+ Watt PSU's are normally more quiet if anything as they're better equipped to deal with higher power loads. When a system like this uses nowhere near the PSU's full power the fan often spins at a very low RPM. Some 1000+ PSU's will just shut the fan off completely when a system uses less than 30% of it's power.
2: It's totally normal for a system to be around 40 dB without including the graphics cards. Two or 3 fans alone normally cause this much noise even if they're large low RPM fans. Then you have noise levels from surroundings which even in a "quiet" room are normally more than 15 dB.
3: Grow some fucking brain cells kids. Reply
andymcca - Thursday, December 22, 2011 - link1) If you were a quiet computing enthusiast, you would know that the statement
"1000+ Watt PSU's are normally more quiet if anything"
is patently false. 1000W PSUs are necessarily less efficient at realistic loads (<600W at full load in single GPU systems). This is a trade-off of optimizing for efficiency at high wattages. There is no free lunch in power electronics. Lower efficiency yields more heat yields more noise, all else being equal. And I assure you that a high end silent/quiet PSU is designed for low air flow and uses components at least as high in quality as their higher wattage (non-silent/non-quiet) competitors. Since the PSU is not decribed (a problem which has been brought up many times in the past concerning AT reviews), who knows?
2) 40dB is fairly loud if you are aiming for quiet operation. Ambient noise in a quiet room can be roughly 20dB (provided there is not a lot of ambient outdoor noise). 40dB is roughly the amplitude of conversation in a quiet room (non-whispered). A computer that hums as loud as I talk is pretty loud! I'm not sure if you opinion is informed by any empirical experience, but for precise comparison of different sources the floor should be at minimum 20dB below the sources in question.
3) You have no idea what the parent's age or background is, but your comment #3 certainly implies something about your maturity. Reply

piroroadkill - Thursday, December 22, 2011 - linkHaha, yeah.
Still, I guess we have to leave that work to SPCR. Reply
Kjella - Thursday, December 22, 2011 - linkHigh-end graphics cards are even noisier, so who cares? A 250W card won't be quiet no matter what. Using an overclocked Intel Core i7 3960X is obviously so the benchmarks won't be CPU limited, not to make a quiet PC. Reply
Ryan Smith - Thursday, December 22, 2011 - linkOur testing methodology only has us inches from the case (an open case I should add), hence the noise from our H100 closed loop radiator makes itself known. In any case these numbers aren't meant to be absolutes, we only use them on a relative basis. Reply

As a 16-year-old girl who picks up a book on occasion, I have no problem admitting that most young adult fiction is trash. I have read many books, fraught with the overuse of terms like "hottie" or "ubercoolio" that appear to be written by adults who don't seem to understand nor remember adolescence. However, if there is one young adult book that is not trash - and I think you will find many young readers who agree - it was written by Stephenie Meyer.
When I read Eliza Ridgeway's disparaging review of "Eclipse" in the Aug. 22 edition of the Town Crier, I was horrified and confused. Not only did she belittle the work of a writer whom I respect and admire, she insulted the entire teenage population of the world. Contrary to Ridgeway's implication, Meyer is not in fact the Britney Spears of literature. Her writing is brilliant and thoughtful; few adults can write about adolescence so honestly and insightfully.
It's ridiculous to suggest that "Meyer doesn't write about real life or constructive relationship building," when that's the very foundation of her books' appeal.
Although, as a swoony, ditzy, naïve, inexperienced, teenager pining for Edward Cullen, and easily won over by "not-too-subtle twists of plot" and "an over-the-top fantasy," I probably wouldn't know.
I was further confused by the list of recommendations box at the end of the article. It's not the make-believe vampires or the element of fantasy in "Eclipse" that makes it so compelling. Surely a librarian or at least a book critic could figure that one out.
Lara Eder
Los Altos Hills
Reviewer Eliza Ridgeway replies,
Although I am a fan of many young adult novels (including those replete with teen-speak such as "hottie"), I particularly like how Meyer harnesses fantasy and the unreal to explore very human themes. I described "Eclipse" as addictive, resonant, authentic, sympathetic and delicious, and I credit her deft use of the fantastic for much of what's great about the book. Nothing pierces the veil of the mundane better than an eerily perfect vampire suitor like Edward. I think we understand reality better when we take a step away from it (towards a werewolf?) and look back over our shoulder.
Readers interested in a debate about the value of fantasy might enjoy Susanna Clarke's novel "Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell"(Tor Books, 2006). Clarke's clever send-up of magical realism, and of scrupulously adult "literary" writing, is not as fun as Meyer's emotional roller coaster, but provides a deliciously new take on the fantasy genre. For pleasure-seekers, I would recommend Newberry Award-winning young-adult author Robin McKinley, whose now-classic books such as "The Blue Sword"(Ace, reprinted in 1987) and "Beauty" (Eos, reprinted in 2005) bring fairy-tale love affairs alive with a tingling sense of urgency and yes - reality.

I agree. You do have upturned lashes and upper lids 4 days after your surgery and yes, this MAY be a cause of concern. But 4 days is way too early to determine results for just about everything. I think it would be best for you to ask your doctor about this and what he/she will do if the problem does not resolve.

As someone who has grown up with video games, I've always enjoyed seeing the medium celebrated in creative ways outside of the actual games themselves. I just happened to be lucky enough to find such a place on my most recent trip to Walt Disney World with my girlfriend. Located in the Magic of Disney building, which is housed in Disney's Hollywood Studios, park guests can meet and take pictures with the main characters from the film Wreck-It Ralph, Ralph and Venelope von Schweetz.
Anyone who has seen Wreck-It Ralph already knows that it's peppered with clever nods to different games but what really caught me off guard was how Disney transformed a simple waiting area to meet costumed characters into a virtual Game Central Station like in the film. The more I think about it, however, the more I should have expected something like this considering the area was previously occupied by a Toy Story meet and greet, which was themed to look like a Sunnyside Daycare classroom complete with doodle drawings and class photos. But back to Game Central Station...
The waiting area features monitors for games from the film such as Fix-It Felix Jr. and Hero's Duty from the perspective of actually being inside the game cabinet looking out at the arcade floor. There's even a Galaga machine that's "Out of Order" and has the requisite sign to show it. It's little touches like this that really make the whole experience worthwhile. The area also has music from games like Mega Man and Super Mario to modern classics like Uncharted and Halo. All in all, that would have been enough to make me happy but like Disney so often does with their parks, they take the extra step to really drive home the theme.
The coolest part of the area, however, is a board that "tracks" different video games as if they were scheduled trains, which makes sense since this is Game Central Station after all. Of course, like a real train station, not all of the games have arrived on time and the reasons behind the delays are really amusing. Ranging from simple puns to plot centric jokes, there's sure to be at least a dozen references that will make any video game fan smile. Some of them are so specific, that I would guess that a majority of the park guests wouldn't even notice them but it's really cool to know that Disney put in the effort to cater to fans of these franchises. My personal favorite had to be how Uncharted 2 would be delayed due to a train being derailed.
Disney could have just put up a simple Wreck-It Ralph background, played some Super Mario music, called it a day and nobody would've batted an eyelash but instead they put in the effort to transform the area into an experience that any video game fan would be happy to walk through. If you happen to find yourself in Disney's Hollywood Studios, you'd be doing yourself a favor by visiting this surprisingly well-done area. And hey, on top of everything else, you still get a photo with Ralph and Venelope at the end! What's better than that?
Be sure to check out the rest of the photos below (Sorry about the quality. I tried to capture all of the screens while navigating through the line.) and let me know which is your favorite game "delay."

I have keloid-prone skin. If I get a lipoma removed, will the scar most likely turn into a keloid?
Keloid Scar from Lipoma Removal on Keloid-prone Skin?
Doctor Answers 3
Keloids and lipoma removal or mole removal
Possible to get keloids from any incision into the dermis. I would contact a surgeon who is familiar with both issues. See the link below.
Learn more: http://www.keloidexpert.com
Correction of keloid scar from a previous lipoma surgery
Correcting keloid scars can be quite difficult. Although the surgery is straightforward to remove them, you have a very high probability of the keloid scar returning. Your best bet, is to be evaluated by a board-certified plastic surgeon with a great deal of experience in keloid surgery. They may recommend steroid injections before the surgery or may recommend the excision of the keloid and then immediate treatment with radiation.
Keloid with Lipoma Removal
If you have formed keloids in the past, there is a high likihood of forming a keloid with lipoma excision. There are certain things which can be done to lessen the chances of keloid formation. You should discuss this with your surgeon.

ummmmm, weeeeeeelllllllll,not necessesarily, it may take more than a "splash" of kerosene, might take a stir and another dose of kerosene. Diesel burns hotter, and actually slower, but then you have the whole ambient temperature thing to figure in, and starting in cold weather can be an issue, but that's only what I heard sometime, somewhere, so don't go by my opinion, YMMV.
Haha recycled entertainment that's a new one and if I attach it to a pulley in my ceiling I can lower it down any time and drive my wife nuts :lol:
Rain Barrel...
You know Dave I hadn't even thought of that it would make a great kindling dryer for quick low heat drying. Just stuff it with kindling and leave in the sun and you got super dry kindling or a accidental bonfire which works as well ;-) I really like this idea not epic but economical good sense. Thanks Dave
Get arrested? Seriously...that's illegal. We like laws here in NY. And signs. Laws and signs. Oh, and taxes. Especially those.
Doggy dooly, if you have a dog... (doggie septic system).
Well now I just feel stupid ( rain barrel ) of course :shut:
I had to google it just to be sure, it seemed too simple, like it should be more technical...
Ya I thought the exact same thing! Thanks eclecticcotage
Really? I must be old. :-/
Looking for something epic... How about sell it on ebay for $3.00. Invest in the stock market for, say, 1 year. Take the $10,000 proceeds and throw an epic party! Think it will work?
3 dollar investment when the market turns around could be a million dollars or it could go the other way and be a penny if it collapses. Gotta love it!

Alltech Re-imagines the Pork Industry at World Pork Expo
[Lexington, KY] - Alltech Inc., an international leader in the animal feed industry, participated in this year's World Pork Expo in Des Moines, Iowa, June 10-12 and shared ways in which pig industry professionals can 're-imagine' pork production.
"This theme explains the dynamic nature of Alltech's approach in the global pig industry. By listening and learning from the marketplace, we are inspired to think more creatively about agriculture and pork production, from the ground up. It is time to re-imagine how we do things, and in doing so, ask how we can make the best use of what science and the information age have to offer," said Dr. Pearse Lyons, Alltech president.
Highlights at the expo included a VIP BBQ at the Alltech booth for top swine producers, retailers, and distributors throughout the world. Two of Alltech's finest BBQ experts prepared and cooked Truline Premium Pork for the guests. Truline incorporates Bio-Mos, Sel-Plex, NuPro and De-Odorase(TM) from Alltech in their pig diets. Alltech representatives also shared highlights from the 20th International Feed Industry Symposium, including key points from the dynamic Pig Science session.
The company ranks among the top 20 animal health companies worldwide and has three bioscience centers, 13 manufacturing facilities, more than 1,300 employees and offices and distributors in 75 countries.

Sharon O backs up Tori
Sharon Osbourne would have quizzed Ozzy about his infidelities just like Tori Spelling.
The reality television star has been the subject of scandal in recent weeks after confirming on her reality show True Tori that her husband, Dean McDermott, cheated on her with another woman.
In a new promo clip, Tori is seen describing how she asked Dean to relay his entire weekend with his mistress in detail before he checked into rehab for "health and personal issues".
Despite critics saying the estranged couple are putting too much of their personal lives out there, Sharon said on Wednesday she would have handled the situation in a very similar way.
"My heart breaks for her it really does," Sharon said on her US chat show The Talk.
"She's a mom of four little kids… she obviously loves her husband and she's giving him a chance… I would want to know everything. I'm with her. I would want to know everything."
Sharon also said women need to stick together. The wife of rocker Ozzy Osbourne empathises with Tori and urged others not to judge her during this difficult time.
"It's only a woman who would know what that feels like… it's a physical pain inside her," Sharon said. "As a woman you know that pain."
Tori this week defended going public with the cheating scandal, insisting she wants to "set the record straight" on the reality show following scores of tabloid reports about Dean's infidelity.
"Our family has been going through an incredibly difficult and trying time, and the story of what I've been going through has been told by everyone… except for me," the former Beverly Hills, 90210 star wrote on her ediTORIAL blog Monday.
"So, it's time for me to set the record straight. Which is why I decided to share this with all of you on True Tori…" she wrote.
The first episode of the show aired in the US on Tuesday night.

Implementing the Vision
From Vision to Reality, Amazing Results!
The strength and validity of the Imagine Downtown vision is apparent in the remarkable number of achievements over the past five years that support the goals and recommendations of the plan. Resulting in infrastructure improvements, policy changes and significant development investment, the collaborative efforts of the entire community are visible throughout Downtown Atlanta. All levels of government, institutions and not-for-profits, large companies and small entrepreneurs and residents alike are to be applauded for the remarkable resurgence of the center city over the past five years.
Dense mixed-use development incorporating a variety of retail, office and residential uses
With over $3 billion of investment since 2004 and even more planned for the next few years, the Imagine Downtown plan is being built brick by brick. With close to 100 diverse projects representing virtually every land use, ranging from renovations of existing historic buildings to large-scale new construction, developments are transforming the livability and vitality of the center city. In total the activity represents 6,000 new residential units, 1 million square feet of commercial space, 3 million square feet of office space and 3,000 new hotel or student dormitory rooms among other community amenities. Downtown has benefited from strong market resurgence in urban living. Additionally, key Downtown economic drivers including the strength of the hospitality industry, the growth of Georgia State University and the revitalization of Atlanta Housing Authority properties have fueled investment activity. The Downtown Development map summarizes these investments.
Investment in a multimodal transportation network that is accessible to all
Since 2004, over $38 million dollars has been committed - with more on the way - to roadway, bike, pedestrian and transit improvements. From an entirely new roadway connection named for former mayor Ivan Allen Jr. and an integrated wayfinding sign system to new and expanded sidewalk amenities the range of projects have improved mobility throughout Downtown. These enhancements coupled with the expanded activities of the Downtown Atlanta Transportation Management Association are making walking, biking and riding transit Downtown easier than ever. Vital planning has also been completed that supports further investment in streetcar service and an integrated multimodal passenger terminal for Atlanta.
Foster a vibrant economic climate that supports new investment and business expansion
New incentives and updated policies have also brought the Imagine Downtown vision to life. Critical in this regard is the creation, success and sustained activity of the Westside and Eastside Tax Allocation Districts. The investment and commitment of public support from the TADs coupled with a reformed City of Atlanta development permitting process and a new and expanded Special Public Interest zoning district for Downtown ensured a development and investment friendly community.

Hello mommas,
Our daughter has had eczema since she was 5 months old. She is 14 now, still breastfed (I'd say, 75% of her diet is BM), and this stinky eczema has been winning the battle. We've tried a ton of moisturizers - finally found the shea butter, makes a big difference. We thought that it might be dust/dry air/cats that trigger her - but eliminating didn't help.
For the last two weeks we, once again, eliminated dairy, soy, nuts, gluten, eggs, citrus - barely any change at all! She usually has flare ups under her knees, around ankles, on her neck, rare spots on her back and belly, and a bit on the forehead. Well, her legs are doing better, but there are new spots on her back and belly. This just tells me it might not be food related at all. But then WHAT? What is it? Does anybody here just has eczema? Without any triggers?
She also scratches her legs really badly, anytime they are not covered up - not just the red dry skin spots, but "good" clear skin, too. Does it mean her whole body is itchy or she is just used to scratching?
Really don't know what to do. I've heard that Chinese herbs can do a miracle, anybody tried that?
As a side note, we don't have a pediatrician: we are not vaccinating, and after 4 doctors kicking us out for that, we gave up looking for one.
Thank you for reading this long post! :)
I'm sorry to hear about your battles with eczema, it's so hard to see a little one itchy all the time My DS has eczema, though it has gotten a lot better from the many things we have tried. It took a lot of trial and error but even now, I don't know exactly what causes his flare ups. Food allergies were big for us so he is still avoiding a long list of foods, but for some people it doesn't seem to help. Is there anything that you eat frequently or a lot of when you take out foods that could be causing it? For others it is environmental. Have you looked at topical things for your DD? My DS is sensitive to gluten/dairy/corn/soy/egg, and some of the "natural" body soaps/lotion as well as dish and laundry detergents I was using had one or more of those things in it. Taking those out helped some.
It's just hard to offer helpful advice about eczema because it seems to be individual and some people can't seem to find a cause. It might help to seek an opinion from a naturopath/ homeopath/chinese medicine practicioner if you can. I did try chinese herbs with DS but it didn't work and later on I found out the tincture had wheat (!) in it so that was probably why. Some people have had luck with them. I'm sorry I can't be of more help!
Mom to DS born 6/09 and DS2 born 6/12
I would second the suggestion on looking into food allergies if you haven't already. My son (now 18 months) was from around 5 months old between 30-50% of his poor little body covered with eczema. It was just awful and even the allergist perscribed cortizone cream was not helping much. He was also 100% breastfed until around 7 months when we gradually began introducing solids. That made things even worse. I had played around with giving up milk myself since most of his diet was breast milk, but that never seemed to make a difference probably because I was not faithful enough with it. It was only after we had him tested for food allergies did we know the whole extent of things that both he AND I had to cut out of our diets entirely: soy, eggs, dairy, coconut and peanuts. Slowly but surely his skin began to heal and even months later it is not quite at 100%.... he still has flare ups (mainly if I eat something I shouldn't have) but it is so much better than before. He used to wake up each morning to bloody sheets from all the scratching and was miserable most of the time. He's a totally different kid (much, much happier!!) than he was before we eliminated those things.
My mother also has had severe eczema since babyhood. She has had years of treatments through both traditional western and alternative medical paths without much success. Only just recently has she undergone helpful treatment with a chinese trained nutropathic doctor and has had the following bits of insight:
- She has to limit her diet until she can be de-sensitized to the food/environmental items that she is allergic to. This is done through homeopathic treatments and seems to be working.
- There is an emotional component to eczema. Kids (and later adults) pick up on stress and can internalize it leaving flare-ups as an outlet to some emotional stressor they are experiencing. I have to say that I notice when my son is under pressure or picks up on dh and my own tension, that he does tend to flare up.
Good luck with finding a solution.... I know just how miserable it can be to see your baby suffer. Keep trying though, you'll get her feeling better!

Budget Babe contributor Vanessa Williams Stevenson discovers a collection of effortless, on-trend clothes for the girl-on-the-go at the Fall 2013 preview hosted by Wallis, Topshop's stylish sister brand. —BB
by Vanessa Williams Stevenson
Yesterday evening Wallis, the UK based high-street brand, hosted a presentation of their Autumn/Winter 2013 collection at the Bryant Park Hotel in New York City. I had the opportunity to discuss the collection with senior head designer Sital Mehta, who made it clear that he had a real vision for this collection. His team focused on making the collection accessible, fit for current fashion, but not a slave to the trends. Effortless and appropriate for women of all ages and sizes and most importantly, beautiful. The tailoring and construction of the pieces is wonderful. The fits are so flattering and the prints and design are so appealing.
I absolutely love this collection. The pieces lend themselves to a get-up-and-go lifestyle. I appreciate how simple it makes getting dressed; there isn't too much fuss and you're guaranteed to look great and feel comfortable no matter which of the pieces you wear. The outerwear was a standout to me. My favorites were the printed black and gray coat and the black parka with faux fur collar. This collection makes it easy to stand out, in a good way, and to feel confident in what you'r wearing. You can incorporate any of these items into your wardrobe and dress the pieces up or down. The accessories in the collection were great too. I loved all of the shoes and jewelry.
The affordable collection with be available online starting in late August. Which of these pieces are on your list for the fall? —VWS

Ancient Greeks celebrated sports such as gymnastics, wrestling, and running around wildly with an open flame. Honor athletic history safely with this Groupon.
$49 for a One-Hour Group Kiteboarding Lesson (a $99 value)
Each lesson starts off on land as instructors teach pupils how to use powerful gusts of wind to glide over undulating waters while ignoring flocks of heckling seagulls. A comfortable boat transports boarders to a safe yet remote area where guests prepare for the lesson's hands-on portion by strapping on the included gear. Under their instructor's watchful eye, pupils then enjoy the scenic vantage point atop the vessel's deck, viewing the urban expanse while surrounded by glimmering aqua waters and a herd of leering manatees. Lessons typically accommodate up to eight students.
Miami Water Sports
Miami Water Sports's esteemed crew helps guests to navigate the waters of Miami Beach with an armada of vessels ranging from party barges to kiteboards.

Birth Defect Rate Higher With In Vitro Fertilization
October 31, 2002
More than 200,000 infants have been born in the United States alone using artificial reproductive technology. However, children conceived through in vitro fertilization have a higher incidence of birth defects.
A recent Australian study in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that infants conceived by assisted reproductive technology, which includes in vitro and related procedures, have twice the risk of major birth defects as those conceived naturally.
- The study identified 101 babies with birth defects among 1,138 infants born after in vitro fertilization, compared with 168 of the 4,000 naturally conceived babies -- 9.4 percent and 4.5 percent, respectively.
- The defects include clubfoot, shortened limbs, heart malformations and anomalies of the sex organs.
- Minor birth defects that could be repaired by surgery, such as extra fingers and toes, also were more common among the in vitro babies.
Other studies have shown that in vitro babies are more likely to be underweight and premature at birth.
U.S. clinics continue to report a higher percentage of multiple births than those in most other countries -- 39 percent compared with 26 percent in Europe. However, looking only at singleton births, the study found the increased risk of a major birth defects associated with assisted conception remained significant.

I love Red Envelope. I know I can always find a great gift from them when I am unsure of what I want and usually it is personalized too! This year I was looking for some great gifts for my girls. Something special that they would love and of course I found it. My girls all loved the Sleep Sheep but now that they are older they keep asking for a light projecting stuffed animal. Red Envelope offers both the Twilight Turtle Nightlight and the Ladybug Turtle Nightlight both of which are fantastic products. Having owned the Sleep Sheep and Sleep Sheep travel (which Red Envelope also carries) I know what great products these are. So of course I ordered them for my girls! Both nightlights project stars on the ceiling and shut off after 45 minutes plus they have the option of 3 different color projectors, my girls are going to be so excited! The two nightlights retail for $29.95 each and I highly recommend them both, as well as the Sleep Sheep for your baby!
I still needed a gift for my baby and then I saw the personalized baby long sleeve one piece. The one piece comes in your choice of 4 colors pink, blue, green or red. You then choose the name and it is added below a large letter, the first letter in your baby's name. I ordered this for Genevieve and she wore it to her first birthday party, it was so cute! Available in 4 sizes 0/6 mo, 6/12 mo, 12/18 mo, 18/24 mo you can use up to 12 characters for personalization. This really is too cute on and was the perfect gift for my baby, retailing for 21.95.
Be sure to check out all the other great gift ideas they have for Christmas and find the perfect gift for everyone on your Christmas list.
I received product to facilitate my review, all opinions are my own.

To Host Campolo on March 3
February 1, 2005
A student group at Calvin College dedicated to educating their fellow students about the TV show "The Simpsons" will host Tony Campolo on March 3 for a 7 pm talk in the Calvin Chapel.
The leaders of Students for Non-Ignorance and the Understanding of Hilarity (SNUH) say Campolo was a natural choice after he wrote a foreword for Mark Pinsky's book "The Gospel According to The Simpsons."
Stephen Kurczy is a senior at Calvin who hails from Bozrah, Conn., and he says while a club dedicated to the Simpsons might seem frivolous there's more to the club, and the show, than meets the eye.
"The Simpsons is a staple of American popular culture and has been for over a decade," he says. "It's been the subject of boycotts by Christian groups but we think there's a lot there that is worthwhile. We're looking forward to hearing what Dr. Campolo has to say about the show."
Campolo is professor emeritus of sociology at Eastern University in St. Davids, Pennsylvania. He is also founder of the Evangelical Association for the Promotion of Education (EAPE), providing the leadership to create, nurture and support programs for "at-risk" children in cities across the United States and Canada, and also establishing schools and universities in several developing countries.
Campolo, an ordained minister, has been a media commentator on religious, social and political matters on such television shows as Nightline, Crossfire, Politically Incorrect, The Charlie Rose Show and CNN News. He also is the author of 28 books.
Calvin's SNUH acronym was created in homage to a Simpsons episode in which Marge Simpson began Springfieldians for Nonviolence, Understanding, and Helping after Homer Simpson was hit on the head by baby Maggie Simpson. Marge blamed the incident on the violent content in the fictional TV show Itchy and Scratchy, and started a campaign to curb violence on television.

Seahawks QB Wilson left lasting impression on Asheville
Posted January 31, 2014
Asheville, N.C. — The City of Asheville still remembers the 2011 Tourists baseball season, as the "Summer of Russell" - and for good reason.
"He was the greatest person I've ever seen come through here," said President of the Asheville Tourists, Brian DeWine. "He would do charity appearances when we asked, he would do hospital visits when we asked, he would do speaking engagements."
"He was a member of this community," added Tourists play-by-play announcer, Doug Maurer.
Wilson, wearing the familiar No. 3, played in 61 games for the Tourists, a minor league affiliate of the Colorado Rockies.
While his stats, particularly at the plate, were not exactly mind-blowing, his well-known work ethic and leadership, were already in full-force.
"If he did something that he didn't like, he would stay late and fix it," Maurer recalled.
One summer Sunday afternoon may be the perfect illustration of that. Late, in a key-game situation, Wilson failed to get a bunt down. Despite the Tourists going on to win that game, Wilson spent an additional two hours afterwards practicing nothing but bunts.
"Everyone understood his work ethic and his desire to be the best would lead him to great things, but I don't think anyone could've envisioned the Super Bowl two years into his professional career," said Tourists General Manager, Larry Hawkins.
His pigskin achievements may far outshine his days on the diamond, but the Tourists certainly haven't forgotten those four months - and neither has their fan-base as all things Russell Wilson remain in high demand, from 2011 team trading card sets to bobble-head dolls.
"I don't necessarily think it's because of the success he's enjoying now, but because of the impression that he left when he was here," Maurer said.
