What Makes a Design Team a Team?

Game design is an endeavor that becomes more fun and more effective with a team, yet good collaborative environments seem relatively rare. That’s unfortunate. I think approaching design as a team sport can have a big positive impact on design quality.

Our company has one of the largest dedicated game design/development departments in the business. A chunk of them sit in an open cube area called ‘The Pit.’ These cubes don’t have walls, and in the center of the area is an open gaming space. Designers move freely between their workstations and the center tables. Frequently someone will call out “Anyone available to help try out this new build?” Usually several people will step up. The company culture rewards open debate, argument, and brainstorming. People feel comfortable being open with their thoughts, and aren’t afraid of being pilloried for dumb ideas. I believe this culture of collaboration is extremely powerful and very rare in game design and other creative fields.

The Social Nutwork

I have a particularly addictive personality when it comes to computer games. When the Infocom games like Zork first came out, I spent hours on my Commodore 64 plugging away at them to solve their mindless mysteries. I was addicted to several of the Ultima series and even a few of the early primitive online RPGs like Nethack and Angband. When the MMORPG rage started, I was addicted to Ultima Online, then Everquest, then Dark Age of Camelot, then World of Warcraft. However, I have an unusual on/off switch for these games. I can be playing the game nonstop for weeks, and then suddenly quit and never play the particular game again. If I could figure out why I stop cold turkey on these games, I could probably get some decent work as a consultant on MMO projects, but I really don’t know the answer.

One of the big crazes these days is Facebook games. I personally have never been sucked into Facebook, although I did really enjoy the South Park episode that spoofed both Facebook and Tron. I check Facebook mostly to see what people are up to. When I used to work at Wizards, there was a gossip network and if you were within earshot of Mark Rosewater (head Magic designer and former writer for some sitcom I’ll remember later), you were occasionally kept up to date of various goings-on at your company, other companies, and picked up tidbits on what former employees were doing every now and then. Sadly, Mark has been rendered obsolete by modern technology in this area (although it will take many, many years for computers to replace his design skills.)

So You Want to be a Rock Star

Fancy cars, late night parties, gold necklaces. Who doesn’t want that life? However, you have your mind set on becoming a game designer. No worries. There is still hope.

There are several paths to stardom available. The first is to develop an amazingly innovative game and get lucky enough to have someone see it that has enough faith and resources to run with it. If you set out on this path, be advised that it can take many years and your chance of success is fairly small. A more realistic path, but much less glamorous, is to work your way up in the industry. But before I go into that, let me enlighten you on what the final prize looks like.

Most readers of this column have played Dungeons and Dragons at some point and are familiar with the various publications. One of my old favorites was a book called Deities and Demigods. A Demigod is basically a god for a very small group of followers without a whole lot in the way of real powers. In the field of game design, the term sometimes thrown around is demi-famous. I heard the term first from a discussion by Monte Cook, a noted RPG professional, but the term probably goes back before that. It basically describes a person who is famous in a very limited circle, but generally unknown outside of that circle. Gary Gygax and Sid Meier would probably be good examples. Telling if someone is in this category is fairly easy.

Just Shut Up Already

Even though I argue a lot, I am not really known as being a talkative person. I mostly work alone these days, so I don’t have the pleasure of the back and forth conversations that you get when you work in a game design group. I miss some of the old epic arguments I used to have with Robert Gutschera and Mark Rosewater back at WOTC, although their memories may be more in line with the title of this column. The one area that I don’t miss conversation, however, is when I am playing games. That brings us to the subject of table talk.

There are some games where table talk is unavoidable. If you are playing Diplomacy and you don’t talk up a storm, you will probably lose badly. Even some of the older classic games like Risk have a fair number of politics and table talk about who should be attacking who and why none of the other players should bother with you since you are obviously a terrible player and an insignificant threat, despite the fact that you somehow managed to take over half the board, presumably by luck.

The Man with the Plan

I often get told that I am a bit of a loner. I hear this every so often from my friends. I would probably hear it more often if I had more friends I guess, or maybe not. It is a conundrum that keeps me up for a few extra seconds every night. At various times it can be an advantage. In game design there are several approaches that companies use when developing new games. Each of the styles has its weaknesses and strengths, and not all styles work for all designers.

Whether these styles come into play often depends on the method the company uses to acquire new games. There are a lot of game designers in the field, although many of them are now huddled around something called Facebook. Because there are a lot of designers, many larger companies use a submission process, where they basically let the designers play in their various sandboxes and make their creations and then look them over when the designers bring the finished or “sufficiently finished to prove concept” games to their doors. Since larger companies usually have a proven track record of bringing these to market and several have proven track records for success, there is generally an abundance of submissions going for a smaller number of spots, and the really successful ones often have more submissions than they want to receive.

I bought a gytr (one industries) for my white 2011. Looks great, price was great from Motosport but it turned that I got junk...
Just removing the back paper from the pieces I could feel the adhesive was weak,
And for the first time in 15 years of applying graphics, this one did not stick well. Edges start peeling after two rides.
The kit was on sale, I contacted Motosport, with pics of some of my previous graphics install and got some non sense response
I'm done with Motosport, being a long time customer.
I imagine I got a kit from a bad batch as I've used One industries in the past with no problem

I just ordered this, as I was very pleased with what they did for my 2010 UFO restyled YZ250
Price is really competitive and quality on par with other brands

I'm thinking of getting some new boots and wanted some opinions first. I have an older pair of motocross boots that I admit I don't wear very often unless it's an all day ride or a trip. I don't race but alot of dual sport exploring with 90% of it being offroad. I'm hoping to find something alittle more comfortable that I can actually walk in. I'm also leaning towards boots with the ATV or offroad sole. The only difference is the sole right? Sometimes I'm in some less than ideal conditions and some traction would help. Sloppy muddy single track. So dose anyone offer a boot I can walk around in yet will still offer enough protection? I know it helps if I wear them but that's my main problem right now.

Thanks guys

  • Gilkerson

Posted November 04, 2007 - 10:25 AM

I currently wear Tech 10's. For my feet, there the most comfortable boot I've owned. The sole is made differently than a typical boot and flexes more when walking which adds to the comfort. On a ride recently we had to climb some ungodly rocks and I had to get off and bulldog up a section. I was concerned about boot traction since some of the rock was at an angle while wrestling with the bike. Boot traction wasn't a problem and I never slipped. There may be better boots for what your looking for but these are comfy for walking around.

  • cleonard

Posted November 04, 2007 - 12:08 PM

Many different type of boots are available. The wimpiest are the road bike boots. There are some marketed as dual sport boots and then there are the true dirt boots. I really like the protection that the dirt bike boots provide. I sometimes wear them on my street bike. The key is finding some that fit your feet well and are comfortable. Everyone if different and what works for someone else might not be the boot for you. You might try some lower end boots as they tend to be more flexible.

Posted November 04, 2007 - 02:52 PM

This is the short list of ones I'm considering right now.

Wondered if any of these would offer enough protection. I thought the ATV sole may have more flex as well as offer more traction.

I picked up a set of Thor 50/50 boots last spring and haven't take them off until about 2 weeks ago (not literally of course). They are, by far the best 1/2 and 1/2 boots that I've ever owned. I ride my 650L to work every day in the spring, summer and fall, as well as taking it out in the bush on the weekends. I found with these boots I could put them on in the morning, ride my bike to work, walk downtown at lunch and then ride my bike home at night. I'd also put them on on the weekend when taking my Pig out to my favorite fishing spot. They've always given me ample protection, while allowing me to walk around unimpeded.

I also own a nice set of Fox MX boots, but haven't worn them a single day since I got my Thor 50/50 boots.

Definitely 2 thumbs up for Thor 50/50 boots.:worthy: :worthy:

I agree, the Thor 50/50 boots are the best DS boots made. I bought a 2nd pair just in case they stop producing this boot.

I have a pair of Thor Quadrant ATV boots, the ones with a lug sole. Yesterday, I ended up climbing a couple of small hills in them while geocaching. For a full on boot, they are pretty good. With the sole, hiking is easier. With that being said, I sure as hell would not recommend them if you plan on doing some hardcore walking. Other than that, they are pretty good both price wise and use.

all those boots you looked at are pretty good the best thing is to try them on, some of the cheaper boots are gonna be pretty stiff since there not the best of leathers used when they make them. I have Tech6s and love them, from the first time you put them on there really comfortable and move well cuz its pretty soft leather. Any Alpinstars are good boots. Try the ones on in your price range as thats the BEST way to see what you want, Comfort is #1.

I have a set of Fox Off Road Trackers... they have some gription on the sole not like the regular Tracker. They have a lot more flex in the ankles than any Alpinestars boot I've ever had on. Not that I have had them all on.... Another boot to look at would be the Sidi Discovery. Not as stiff either which lends itself to walking when needed. and it has some tread.

I wear both decent MX boots or my Rocky's with 1000 thinsulate and waterproof. MX boots typically don't offer me the finess I want for exploring or stopping for a beer. The downside, and was reminded this year, is protection. I wiped out in a big patch of boulders about motor size, busted my shin up pretty good as the bike landed on my leg and rock!!! So it depends on your ride style. I ALWAYS wear my MX boots when going into woods or hard trails. Usually I will wear my rocky's when road or fire road riding.

Posted November 15, 2007 - 04:53 AM

Bizarre suggestions? I have a pair of Sportman's Guide snake boots. They feel like mx boots and support very well. Can walk all day and they protect like mx boots but REALLY light in comparison. The snake armor really protects the shins (knee high) but your ankle is supported. The arch support is there but the foot is able to pronate and supinate. $79 However they are really light and fast to put on or take off.

Rear Suspension "Q" ??

3 replies to this topic
  • rekless

Posted July 10, 2003 - 10:25 AM

The other night while I was performing the free mods, I had the sub-frame off and I had good access to the rear shock. I weigh about 245 lbs. :), so I decided I would adjust my rear shock for a little more preload. I screwed the two adjusting nuts down approx. 1-1/4" and the bike feels alot better. It doesn't squat down so much when I sit on it. The only thing I'm wondering is, should I tighten up my rebound on the rear so the rear swingarm isn't limiting down quite so hard when I come off of a jump? When I set the bike on the kickstand, I can feel the suspension come all the way to the top limits. Is this a bad thing, should I soften back up a little bit? I'm brand new at this and any help is appreciated. Also do I need to do anything to the front to compensate. Thanks, Chuck :D

  • Drew_Seattle_DRZ400s

Posted July 10, 2003 - 12:49 PM

When I set the bike on the kickstand, I can feel the suspension come all the way to the top limits. Is this a bad thing,

I don't think you want that. There has to be a certain amount of 'free sag'(difference between rear axle and a spot on rear fender directly above it. measure with the bike on a stand and them measure with the bike on the wheels, but no rider onboard - the difference between these two measurements is the free sag.) Not sure about your model, DRZ calls for about 30mm of free sag. If you have the spring that compressed, you most likely need to go to a stiffer spring.

Here's a good link to setting sag. LINK

I had the same issue until I got my 5.8 rear. Overloading the preload may make the bike turn better but it will kill you in the whoops & jumps. Just get the 5.8 kg rear spring now. I am 230lbs using the 5.8KG Race Tech spring with 11.25" free length. :)

  • racemile

Posted July 11, 2003 - 04:43 AM

Once I went with the stiffer rear spring, I had no problems handling stuff that normally beat me up. The bike is a bit taller, she doesn't compress as much, the little bumps don't abuse me like they used to, and she is much easier to control. Landing after a jump is a joy, she sucks up the abuse and keeps scootin'!!

Get a stiffer spring, It will be the best money you spend on that bike after jets!!

Hey Bill congrats on new house. Start a list on your computer with all the problems, list room problem and dates (notified builder/repaired. When you give the builder the list have two copies and carbon paper. Have him sign and date when he receives (unless he was my builder and refuses to sign). Cover your ass everyway you can think off because he (the builder) will say he never received or had info on your problems. Make sure you get a warranty book, after 3 years nobody in our developement has gotten one. First they were at the printers, then printers screwed up, now it's "I don't believe in warranty books as the only show whats not warrantied" Great but what is and for how long, who makes roof tiles and guarentee etc... Some of our neighbors are sueing now. Good luck.

I,ve been in construction for 15 years now and believe me, this is what you want to do. Bring at least two other people with you, everybodies eyes see different deficiencies. Bring a pad of paper and include date, time, people present etc..
Walk through every room of the house once briefly before you start your list. Count on at least a two hour or more inspection. Do not argue with the builder about if it's good or not, simply say your not accepting it. Have extra person A or B keep notes/minutes of inspection and builders replies. Every builder is a GREAT GUY up to the minute he's been paid in full. Remember most builders must carry a fund for warranty work (in Canada anyway) Make sure when you finish inspecting you read the notes to him and he signs them as accurate. If he doesn't want to sign, guess what. If he doesn't have enough time, make him sign whats complete already. Then assess what the cost of all repairs are (think really high) and deduct that or refuse any payment till he complies with HIS signed list. Experience is a bitch to work with eh!

  • Bryan Bosch

Posted April 17, 2001 - 04:00 PM

If you are not familiar with the building codes, either bring someone who is or pay for an inspection. Even on a new home. Most people think that with a new home there isn't much to worry about. Wrong! I didn't catch a serious building defect on my first new home until the first rain! The builder will run into a problem and they can be pretty creative in order to keep construction moving. Also, set aside at least a few hours for your walk through. You'll need the time to do a thorough job. If you don't like something, ask for it to be fixed. If the builder won't, don't sign!

Hey Bill:

I just moved into a new house (January 1) and 10 days after we moved in there was a rain storm and the roof had major leaks. About $10k in damage and two months of living in a construction zone. Thankfully homeowners insurance covered a good part of it. It was a tile roof, so I was thinking that the roof would be the least of my worries.....

We also had leaks in the wall to concrete junction on the porch which floods the garage (which is great when all your possesions are in boxes on the garage floor!).

The previous owners denied everything. The roofer said the leaks were not new and the contractor found evidance that previous damage was covered up. We should have suspected when we noticed the ceiling was freshly painted with enamel to hide the water damage.

The bottom line, like everyone says, be very anal and document everything.

John Carpenter's Escape from L.A.

Film , Action and adventure
0 Love It
Save it
When Escape from New York was released in 1981, its innovative computer graphics, satirical dystopian vision and tongue-in-cheek humour had a freshness that disguised its ramshackle narrative. Equally enjoyable was Russell's cynical anti-hero Snake Plissken, with his eye-patch and tight-lipped, Eastwood-style one-liners. After 15 years of computer-generated effects, apocalyptic sci-fi and Arnie movies with flippant kiss-off lines, the sequel feels hackneyed and pointless. In the original, Snake was sprung from prison in order to rescue the US President from Manhattan, a lawless maximum-security island populated exclusively by hardened criminals. An explosive device injected into his neck enforced safe and timely delivery. This time, the Snake's injected with a fatal virus, despatched to the earthquake-created prison island of LA, and charged with terminating the President's daughter, Utopia (Langer), a Patti Hearst-style runaway who's stolen the government's 'doomsday device' and shacked up on the island with South American drug dealer turned revolutionary Cuervo Jones (Corraface). Once ashore, he crosses the urban wasteland to Jones' fortified lair, encountering tough transsexual Hershe (Grier), weaselly tour-guide 'Map to the Stars' Eddie (Buscemi), and spaced-out surfer Pipeline (Fonda).

EXHIBITION Poetry in Sound: The Music of Benjamin Britten

Music , Classical and opera Free
0 Love It
Save it

As part of the worldwide 'Britten 100' celebrations, a new exhibition in the British Library's Folio Society Gallery offers a rare opportunity to see exhibits drawn from the library’s world-class collection that explore the literary, political and historical inspirations behind some of Benjamin Britten’s greatest works. Through the composer’s handwritten manuscripts, as well as photographs, letters, first editions and unique sound recordings, ‘Poetry in Sound’ shows how such literary greats as William Shakespeare, William Blake, WH Auden, Wilfred Owen and Henry James have had a direct impact on the composer’s most celebrated works.

Alongside handwritten drafts of some of Britten’s best known compositions, including 'The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra' (acquired last year), the exhibition features other rarely seen Britten manuscripts and unpublished recordings from the Library’s Sound Archive, including an unknown live recording from the first production of ‘Paul Bunyan’, accompanied by photographs of the little known 1941 production at Columbia University in New York.

The manuscripts on display include Wilfred Owen’s first draft of his poem ‘Anthem for Doomed Youth’, one of several Owen poems that Britten incorporated into his ‘War Requiem’, a signed manuscript of Britten’s adaptation of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ and a programme for the first performance of ‘Gloriana’ at the Royal Opera House on June 8 1953.

‘Poetry in Sound’ is accompanied by a series of music events, including a performance of key Britten works by The Turner Ensemble in the British Library’s striking entrance hall, a series of talks on the prolific composer and his works, with speakers such as Paul Kildea, and a specially formed ‘Friday Afternoon Choir’ performs ‘Friday Afternoons’, Britten’s much-loved suite of children’s songs.

82a1 Johnnie Arnold out as LaFayette city manager | Times Free Press

Johnnie Arnold out as LaFayette city manager

Johnnie Arnold out as LaFayette city manager

September 27th, 2011 by Andy Johns in News

Johnnie Arnold

Johnnie Arnold

LaFAYETTE, Ga. -- LaFayette City Council members accepted the resignation of City Manager Johnnie Arnold after the veteran administrator told attorneys he had a beer during a lunch break before driving a city vehicle back to work.

Mayor Neal Florence said Arnold, who planned to retire in March, resigned Monday, but Arnold did not give a reason for his decision.

The council also announced that Franklin T. Etheridge, 51, the former city manager in Pembroke, Ga., will take over as city manager Oct. 10 when Arnold's resignation takes effect.

Attempts to reach Arnold have been unsuccessful since he stopped going to work last Wednesday. Florence said Arnold is on a break "like vacation" but was not suspended.

Rob Reid, the attorney representing three former LaFayette employees in an age discrimination suit against the city, said in a deposition Friday that Arnold told him he and secretary Doris Greene recently drank one beer each at a local pizza restaurant during lunch before he drove back to work in a city vehicle. According to Reid, Arnold also admitted he and Greene were in a romantic relationship but never told the council because the city didn't have a policy against it.

Florence would not comment on Greene's status, but she was at work Monday.

Reid said Arnold claimed he saw nothing wrong with having a drink because it was one beer accompanied by food.

"I asked him if he would approve of an employee who operated heavy equipment for the Public Works department having a beer at lunch, and he stated it depends," Reid said in an email. "When I asked him if such employees might have to operate heavy machinery or vehicles after lunch in emergencies, he admitted then drinking beer with lunch might not be a good idea."

Council members would not comment on the issues surrounding Arnold, but Councilman Andy Arnold said the new city manager would redo parts of the employee handbook.

"We always tweak the policies," said Arnold, who is not related to the city manager.

Friday morning, in response to a Chattanooga Times Free Press records request, City Clerk Brenda Snyder said there were no complaints or disciplinary actions on file against Arnold or Greene. She also said there were no performance reviews in his file throughout his 13-year tenure with the city.

Contacted by phone after the meeting, Etheridge said he is excited to start.

"I look forward to working with the department heads," he said. "I think that's a big part of it."

Arnold had planned to stick around to help train his replacement, but council members said they still expect a smooth transition.

"It'll be no different than the city manager taking a week or two vacation," Councilman Eric Tallent said.

The Wildcats (19-12, 10-8 Big East) also beat then-No. 5 Louisville and then-No. 3 Syracuse and have put themselves in solid shape for at least an NCAA Tournament at-large bid. All three wins over top-five teams came at the Wells Fargo Center, the site of tournament games the first weekend.

Otto Porter Jr. scored 17 points as the Hoyas (23-5, 13-4) had an 11-game winning streak snapped. The Big East leaders lost for the first time since Jan. 19, against South Florida.

Villanova students stormed the court in the first two wins and security lined the baseline again Wednesday. With students on break, only a few fans made the dash. That gave the Wildcats the chance to head behind the basket and salute the fans.

Darrun Hilliard scored 14 points, Ryan Arcidiacono had 11 and Mouphtaou Yarou grabbed 12 rebounds for the Wildcats, who finished 30-for-42 from the free-throw line compared to Georgetown going 4-for-8 from there.

The Wildcats still have the Big East Tournament ahead. But they have won enough big games to start thinking about the NCAA Tournament.

The Hoyas were playing for a No. 1 seed in the both the Big East and NCAA tournaments. But they committed a whopping 23 turnovers and never made the big shots down the stretch.

In other games: Marcus Georges-Hunt followed his own miss to tip in the winning basket at the buzzer and Georgia Tech rallied past No. 6 Miami 71-69 to prevent the Hurricanes from clinching the outright Atlantic Coast Conference title. ... Trey Burke had 26 points and five rebounds to lead No. 7 Michigan's rally to an 80-75 victory over Purdue. Terone Johnson scored a career-high 35 points and Rapheal Davis added 15 for Purdue (14-16 7-10 Big Ten), which has lost five of its past seven games. ... Kenny Boynton scored 15 points, Pat Young added 14 and No. 11 Florida routed Vanderbilt 66-40 to clinch the Southeastern Conference regular-season championship. ... Senior Will Clyburn scored 20 points and Iowa State beat No. 13 Oklahoma State 87-76 to bolster its NCAA Tournament hopes. Georges Niang added 18 points for the Cyclones (20-10, 10-7 Big 12), who notched just their second victory over a ranked opponent. ... Travis Taylor had 19 points and a career-high 19 rebounds, and Xavier never trailed in the overtime, beating No. 16 Saint Louis 77-66, ending the Billikens' 11-game winning streak and leaving the Atlantic 10 title up for grabs. ... Treveon Graham scored 15 of his 21 points in the second half, including the go-ahead basket with 2:58 to play, and No. 21 VCU beat city rival Richmond 93-82, avoiding a sweep of the season series. Juvonte Reddic added 16 points for the Rams (24-6, 12-3 Atlantic 10), who remained in control of at least the second seed in the conference tournament. ... Brock Motum had 20 points and 11 rebounds as last-place Washington State upset No. 23 UCLA 73-61, breaking a 19-game home losing streak to the Bruins that extended to 1993.

Saratoga Springs

When Tom Voss died, the family didn't gather over dinner to discuss what to do with his operation. The next morning, Voss's daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband simply showed up at the barn.

They've showed up every morning since.

"We just kind of dove right into it," says Elizabeth, referring to her husband, Gary Murray. "It had to be done. You have to keep going."

One of the nation's most respected horsemen and one of steeplechasing's most accomplished trainers, Voss died of a heart attack or embolism, says his wife Mimi, in January at his Atlanta Hall Farm in Maryland. He was 63.

Mimi says Elizabeth, 34, was destined to take over.

"They were as close as any two people could be," Mimi says. "He absolutely adored her, and she adored him.

"I think she's his clone. She mumbles like him. She looks like him. Indian Charlie (publisher of a racing newsletter) called Tom grumpy. Elizabeth definitely is not grumpy. She's sweeter. But they're very much alike."

This would have been Tom's 39th consecutive year training horses at Saratoga. Now it's Elizabeth's first.

She's in the same corner of the same barn. The stall webbing is Tom's — yellow, with his initials "THV" in black. The equipment is Tom's, and Elizabeth relies on his training charts when she prepares horses to race.

"Everything we do with horses I think, 'What would my dad do?'" she says. "He's in my head, every day."

Reminders seem to be everywhere. Wednesday, the John's Call Stakes is the featured race. Tom trained John's Call, and when John's Call retired, Tom made him his stable pony. The two of them became a familiar sight on the Saratoga backstretch. John's Call led the post parade of the race named for him, until his death in 2010 from a paddock accident at age 19 at the Voss farm.

On Aug. 17, the featured race at Saratoga will be the Sword Dancer Invitational. In 2000, John's Call won the Grade I Sword Dancer — at age 9 — and that year he also won the Grade I Turf Classic at Belmont Park as well as finishing third in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

But the most vivid reminder of her father came this past Thursday, when Elizabeth won the Grade I A.P. Smithwick Memorial Steeplechase Stakes with Makari.

Her father won that race four times. It was Elizabeth's first Grade I victory, an accomplishment most trainers never achieve in a lifetime of trying. It was her fourth victory so far, all over jumps.

She and her husband, a full partner at the track and farm, have 21 horses in training. All but five are steeplechase horses.

Most were horses Tom trained, and their owners readily turned them over to Elizabeth.

She grew up at her dad's side. She accompanied him to the barn. She galloped horses for him. She fox-hunted with him.

"People used to joke about my dad and call him the great communicator," she says. "Well, he's not someone who explains everything he's doing. But he was great to let you tag along, and I basically tagged along my whole life."

Even while she attended college, majoring in U.S. history and graduating in 2003, and all during the eight years she worked at Three Chimneys Farm in Kentucky, achieving the position of director of sales, she knew she would someday move back to the farm.

She did in 2010. She and Gary got married and had two children. Elizabeth helped around the farm when she could, figuring that she had many more years to tag along with her father.

Training horses wasn't anything she ever planned on doing. But it had to be done.

You have to keep going.

Q. What are the options for treating prostate cancer?

Prostate cancer is one of the most common types of cancer among American men. Treatment for prostate cancer works best when the disease is found early.

There are many options for treating prostate cancer:

Ÿ Observation. If the cancer is growing slowly, you may decide to wait and watch.

Ÿ Hormone therapy. This stops cancer cells from growing.

Ÿ Surgery. There are several surgical options. These include radical prostatectomy or removal of the entire prostate, cryosurgery that kills the cancer by freezing it, radiation therapy to shrink tumors, and implant radiation that places radioactive seeds into the prostate.

Surgery can lead to impotence and incontinence. Improvements in surgery now make possible for some men to keep their sexual function.

Q. What exactly is perimenopause.

The process of reproductive aging begins around age 40. Declining levels of the hormones estrogen and progesterone change a woman's periods. These hormones maintain the health of the vagina and uterus, and regulate the menstrual cycles

Menopausal transition, called perimenopause, is the time when a woman's body is close to menopause. Periods may become irregular. A woman may start to feel hot flashes and night sweats.

Perimenopause usually begins about two to four years before the last menstrual period. It ends when menopause begins. A woman reaches menopause when a year has passed since her last period.

Postmenopause follows menopause and lasts the remainder of a woman's life. Pregnancy is no longer possible. There may be symptoms such as vaginal dryness long after menopause.

Q. I'm 67 years old. Should I expect to get cataracts eventually?

A cataract is a clouding of the lens, the clear part of the eye that helps focus images like the lens in a camera.

Most cataracts are related to aging. By age 80, more than half of all Americans either have a cataract or have had cataract surgery. There are other causes of cataracts such as diabetes, eye injury, radiation and surgery for other eye problems.

Cataracts tend to worsen gradually. The clear lens slowly changes to a yellowish/brownish color, adding a brownish tint to vision. If you have advanced lens discoloration, you may not be able to identify blues and purples.

The most common symptoms of a cataract are: blurred images, faded colors, glare, poor night vision, double vision, and frequent prescription changes in your eyeglasses or contact lenses. If you have any of these symptoms, see your doctor, because they can be signs of other eye problems.

If you are 60 or older, you should have a comprehensive dilated eye exam at least once every two years. In addition to cataract, your eye-care professional can check for signs of age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, and other vision disorders. Early treatment for many eye diseases may save your sight.

Pocono Mountain Regional police reported on two retail theft arrests made by officers over the past weekend.

On Friday, Aug. 20, about 12:08 p.m. officers were called to the Walmart store in Mt. Pocono for a report of an employee theft. Store security advised police that Alyssa Apfel, 18, of Long Pond, who is an employee, was observed stealing a magazine and also taking food and drink items.

A review of surveillance tapes showed Apfel, on 23 different occasions since July, stealing a total of $101.77 worth of items, police said.

She was issued a citation and then released.

On Saturday, Aug. 21, about 2:33 p.m. officers were dispatched to Bill's Shur Save Market, located along SR940, in Mt. Pocono. Police said store security alleged that Madeline Melody Palladino, 22, of Tobyhanna, was observed removing items from the store without paying for them. During the arrest process police found a marijuana pipe on Palladino's person. In addition to the theft charge, she was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia.

Zimbabwe ambassador to Australia seeks asylum

STORY: Zimbabwe's ambassador to Australia has asked for political asylum just days before her term ends saying she fears for her safety if she goes home, media reported on Saturday (December 29). Jacqueline Zwambila, who is a member of Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change (MDC), was appointed to Australia to renew ties between the countries after a unity government was formed in Zimbabwe in 2009. "I just cannot go back because I know something will happen to me," she told SBS Television from an unknown location.

Game notes: THS football vs. Turner

Jared Sommers has seen production on offense, defense and special teams in 2013. Sommers will try to help Tonganoxie High to a homecoming victory against Turner on Friday.

Jared Sommers has seen production on offense, defense and special teams in 2013. Sommers will try to help Tonganoxie High to a homecoming victory against Turner on Friday.

October 11, 2013

The Tonganoxie High football team will return Friday to Beatty Field for its homecoming game against Class 5A Turner. The Chieftains (4-1, 3-1 Kaw Valley League) are coming off a 55-6 rout of Bishop Ward, while the Golden Bears (1-4, 1-4) dropped a 49-13 decision last week at Basehor-Linwood. Turner handed Tonganoxie a 32-13 loss in last year's meeting in Kansas City, Kan.

Containing No. 16

Nearly all of Turner's offensive production this season has come from quarterback Paul Berry. The senior has thrown for 833 yards — second in the KVL only to Lansing's Krystian Abbott (1,678) and seven touchdowns. He's been equally as effective in the run game, racking up 351 yards and eight scores on 91 carries — all team-highs.

"We're more worried about him in busted plays," coach Al Troyer said. "A lot of times, he'll drop the snap, then take off and score. It's going to be tough to contain him running the ball and passing."

Senior Sirr Green has been Berry's favorite target this season, hauling in 46 catches for 546 yards and five touchdowns.

Berry gave the Chieftains fits in last year's meeting, throwing for 288 yards and two touchdowns while adding 88 yards and two more scores on the ground.

Sack master

Berry has been prone to mistakes this season — he's thrown eight interceptions through five games — and Chieftain defensive standouts James Grizzle and Jared Sommers could go a long way in forcing a few more mishaps this week.

Grizzle, a senior defensive end, has made a living in opposing teams' backfields, racking up eight sacks — four in last week's win at Ward. Meanwhile, Sommers, a junior defensive back, leads the team with three interceptions, including two last week.

As a team, the Chieftains have forced eight turnovers this season, including six picks.

Jack of all trades

Sommers has also made his presence felt on offense and special teams. He's run for two touchdowns in the team's "Wildcat" offensive package, caught a touchdown pass as a receiver and has established himself as one of the league's top return men. He is currently averaging 43 yards per kick return and 33.7 yards per punt return.

One game at a time

With five days of homecoming festivities preceding Friday's game and district play right around the corner, potential distractions have surrounded the Chieftains all week. Appropriately, the teem's word of the week is "focus," and Troyer said players have been able to keep their priorities in check throughout this week's practices.

"The kids have done a good job," he said. "They know we've got to taken it one at a time because, at any time or any moment, a loss is crucial. It's just one game at a time."

What's ahead

According to Troyer, a season is broken into three phases: league play, district play and postseason play. Friday's game will mark the end of phase one, as Perry-Lecompton will come to town next week. Troyer lauded his squad for the progress its made since a season-opening win against Lansing on Sept. 6.

"To come out with the opportunity to be 5-1 at the end of that, it's a great start," Troyer said. That would take us into district when Perry comes here, and they're a good team. But let's get through Turner first, then worry about that."

A win Friday would match last season's win total and give the Chieftains' their first 5-1 start since 2009.

Friendly confines

Travel won't be much of a concern for the Chieftains down the stretch, as they play three of their final four regular season games at Beatty Field. An Oct. 25 trip to Jeff West is the team's lone remaining road contest.

"(Our fans) travel well, but being at home is a great atmosphere," Troyer said. "It's going to be awesome to be here at home for three of those games, especially with two of them in district."

The Chieftains are 5-2 at home since Troyer took over in 2012. They currently own a five-game win streak on their own field, dating back to a 30-16 win against Bishop Ward on Sept. 28, 2012.

Why I want to be a lawyer

Postby Anonymous User » Wed Jan 07, 2015 2:53 pm

Why I want to be a lawyer essay - for application. Not a personal statement. Basically, prompt is am I prepared to be a lawyer and why I want to be one. Just read it again and I think it's the worst essay I've ever written. Please critique.

Thanks to the guy who replied, echoes how I felt exactly. I'm going to scrap this entirely and go with something else.

“To Sink” is the third of five installments. Rather than release a conventional EP, the Bay Area/upstate New York band Yassou decided to spread six new songs over five videos by three directors, trickling them out gradually over the course of an “album cycle.” Today’s segment follows “Fall Again” and “Two Win/Youngblood.” It finds Lilie Hoy gently unfurling lyrics about bravery and longing and the brink destruction against an astral piano ballad reminiscent of Radiohead’s “All I Need.” Hoy collaborated with director Peter McCollough on the clip’s stirring array of urban and seaside images. Combined with Yassou’s truly gorgeous musical work, the footage makes for a consuming experience.

Welding of Dissimilar Metals

There are many applications in which weldments are made from metals of different compositions. The same is true of a mechanical wear problem, a high-temperature situation, or other conditions in which different properties are required from different parts of the same weldment.

This brings about the need for joining dissimilar metals. A successful weld between dissimilar metals is one that is as strong as the weaker of the two metals being joined, i.e., possessing sufficient tensile strength and ductility so that the joint will not fail in the weld. Such joints can be accomplished in a variety of different metals and by a number of the welding processes.

The procedures mostly described for obtaining quality welds in the literature have been between identical metals or at least of metals of similar composition and properties. There are many applications, however, in which weldments are made from metals of different compositions. The same is true of a mechanical wear problem, a high-temperature situation, or other conditions in which different properties are required from different parts of the same weldment.

This brings about the need for joining dissimilar metals. Welding dissimilar metals is being done more often; therefore, this article is devoted to providing information for successfully joining some of the more common metal combinations.

A successful weld between dissimilar metals is one that is as strong as the weaker of the two metals being joined, i.e., possessing sufficient tensile strength and ductility so that the joint will not fail in the weld. Such joints can be accomplished in a variety of different metals and by a number of the welding processes.

The problem of making welds between dissimilar metals relates to the transition zone between the metals and the intermetallic compounds formed in this transition zone. For the fusion type welding processes it is important to investigate the phase diagram of the two metals involved. If there is mutual solubility of the two metals the dissimilar joints can be made successfully. If there is little or no solubility between the two metals to be joined the weld joint will not be successful.

The intermetallic compounds that are formed, between the dissimilar metals, must be investigated to determine their crack sensitivity, ductility, susceptibility to corrosion, etc. The microstructure of this intermetallic compound is extremely important. In some cases, it is necessary to use a third metal that is soluble with each metal in order to produce a successful joint.

Another factor involved in predicting a successful service life for a dissimilar metals joint relates to the coefficient of thermal expansion of both materials. If these are widely different, there will be internal stresses set up in the intermetallic zone during any temperature change of the weldment. If the intermetallic zone is extremely brittle service failure may soon occur.

The difference in melting temperatures of the two metals that are to be joined must also be considered. This is of primary interest when a welding process utilizing heat is involved since one metal will be molten long before the other when subjected to the same heat source. When metals of different melting temperatures and thermal expansion rates are to be joined the welding process with a high heat input that will make the weld quickly has an advantage.

The difference of the metals on the electrochemical scale is an indication of their susceptibility to corrosion at the intermetallic zone. If they are far apart on the scale, corrosion can be a serious problem.

In certain situations, the only way to make a successful joint is to use a transition material between the two dissimilar metals. An example of this is the attempt to weld copper to steel. The two metals are not mutually soluble, but nickel is soluble with both of them. Therefore, by using nickel as an intermediary metal the joint can be made. Two methods are used:

  • use a piece of nickel, or
  • deposit several layers of nickel alloy on the steel, i.e., buttering or surfacing the steel with a nickel weld metal deposit.
  • The nickel or nickel deposit can be welded to the copper alloy using a nickel filler metal. Such a joint will provide satisfactory properties and will be successful.

    Another method of joining dissimilar metals is the use of a composite insert between the two metals at the weld joint. The composite insert consists of a transition joint between dissimilar metals made by a welding process that does not involve heating. By selecting the proper materials for the composite insert like metals can be welded to like metals in making the fusion weld joint.

    Welding Processes for Composite Inserts

    The following is a brief description of some of the welding processes that can be used for composite inserts that include transition joints and that do not employ filler metals.

    Explosion welding is used to join many so-called incompatible metals. In explosion welding the joint properties will be equal to those of the weaker of the two base materials. Since minimum heat is introduced there is no melting, no heat-affected zone, and no thermal compounds are formed.

    The characteristic sine wave pattern of the interface greatly increases the interface area. This process is used for cladding, but is also used to make composite transition inserts used for the fusion welding of dissimilar metals. Composites containing a transition joint are commercially available between aluminum and steel, aluminum and stainless steel, aluminum and copper, and other materials.

    Cold welding is used for making dissimilar metal transition joints. This process does not use heat, thus avoids the heat-affected zone and the intermetallic fusion alloy. Little or no mixing of the base metals takes place. It is commonly used to join aluminum to copper.

    Ultrasonic welding is also used for welding dissimilar metals since very little heat is developed at the weld joint. Ultrasonic welding can be used only for very thin materials or small parts.

    Friction welding is also used for joining dissimilar metals and for making composite transition inserts. Various dissimilar combinations of metal have been welded, including steel to copper base alloys, steel to aluminum, stainless to nickel base alloys, etc. In friction welding only a very small amount of the base metal is heated and that which is melted is thrown from the joint, therefore, the intermetallic material is kept to a very minimum. The heat-affected zone is also minimal.

    The high-frequency resistance process is also widely used for dissimilar metal welding. Here the heat is con¬centrated on the very surface of the parts being joined and pressure applied is sufficient to make welds of many dissimilar materials. It can be used for joining copper to steel at very high speeds.

    Diffusion welding is widely used for aerospace applications of dissimilar metals welding.

    Percussion welding is also used but this process is restricted to wires or small parts. The laser beam welding process has also been used but it is restricted, at this time, to very thin materials.

    The electron beam welding process has had wide application for joining dissimilar metals. Electron beam uses high-density energy and fast welding speed. It seems to overcome the difference of thermal conductivity when welding metals together having wide variation of thermal conductivity. In addition, the weld zone is extremely small and filler metal is not introduced. Since there is such a small amount of intermetallic compound formed electron beam does offer an advantage for many dissimilar combinations.

    The flash butt welding process will make high-quality welds between copper and aluminum. With proper controls all or most of the molten metal is forced out of the joint and the weld is complete as a solid state process. Flash butt welds are made in rods, wires, bars, and tubes.

    Arc Welding. There are many welding requirements to join dissimilar metals in which the above processes cannot be used. In these cases, the three popular arc welding processes are most often utilized. These are the shielded metal arc welding process, the gas tungsten arc welding process, and the gas metal arc welding process.

    Welding Aluminum to Various Metals

    There is a wide difference of melting temperatures, for aluminum, approximately 650°C, and for steel, approximately 1538°C. The aluminum will melt and flow away well before the steel has melted.

    The aluminum iron phase diagram shows that a number of complex brittle intermetallics are formed. It is found that iron aluminum alloys containing more than 12% iron have little or no ductility. In addition, there is wide difference in the coefficient of linear expansion, in thermal conductivity, and in specific heats of aluminum and steel. This will introduce thermal stresses of considerable magnitude.

    The most successful method is to use an aluminum-steel transition insert with each metal welded to its own base metal using any of the three arc welding processes.

    The other way is to coat the steel surface with a metal compatible with aluminum. The success of this type of joint depends on metal used to coat the steel, the thickness of the coating, and the bond between the coating and the steel surface. A coating of zinc on steel can be used and the aluminum welded to it by the gas tungsten arc welding process. A high-silicon aluminum filler wire should be used. Direct the arc toward the aluminum; pulsing will assist the welder.

    For welding aluminum to stainless steel transition inserts are available. It is also possible to use the coating technique. A coating for the stainless steel is pure aluminum coating, which can be applied by dipping clean stainless steel into molten aluminum. Another way to obtain a compatible coating is by tinning the stainless steel with a high-silicon aluminum alloy. The aluminum surface can then be gas tungsten arc welded to the aluminum. The arc should be directed toward the aluminum; pulsing will assist the welder.

    The welding of aluminum to copper is accomplished by using a copper-aluminum transition insert piece.

    Welding Copper to Various Metals

    Copper and copper-base alloys can be welded to mild and low-alloy steels and to stainless steels. For thinner sections, in the gauge metal thickness, the gas tungsten arc welding process can be used with a high-copper-alloy filler rod. The pulsed mode makes it easier to obtain a quality weld. The arc should be directed to the copper section to minimize pickup of iron.

    In the heavier thicknesses first overlay or butter the steel with the same filler metal and then weld the overlayed surface to the copper. It is important to avoid excessive penetration into the steel portion of the joint since iron pickup in copper alloys creates a brittle material. The copper must be preheated.

    Another method is to overlay the copper with a nickel-base electrode. A second overlay or layer is recommended on thicker materials. When making the overlay welds on thick copper, the copper should be preheated to ~540°C (1000°F).

    The overlay or buttered surface of the copper part should be smoothed to provide a uniform joint preparation. Effort should be made to minimize dilution of the copper with the nickel electrode. The shielded metal arc process, the gas tungsten arc or gas metal arc welding processes can all be used. The selection will depend on equipment available and the thickness of the material being joined.

    Copper can also be joined to stainless steel, and brass can be joined to mild and low-alloy steels.

    Welding Nickel-Base Alloys to Steels

    Nickel-base alloys such as Monel and Inconel can be successfully welded to low-alloy steel by using the Monel analysis of filler material when using any of the arc welding processes. In the case of Inconel to mild or low-alloy steel the Inconel base electrode would be used. The same situation applies also to the welding of Inconel or Monel to stainless steels. Here the Inconel or Monel type electrode is used.

Vital to build on Blues win

Posted on 8 April 2003  - 12:00

Tottenham Hotspur (Spurs) Football Club is located in North London. The club is also known as Spurs. Tottenham's home ground is White Hart Lane. The club motto is Audere est Facere (To dare is to do).

Glenn Hoddle insists it's vital we build on Saturday's crucial win against Birmingham City.

Gus Poyet's late strike ended a run of three straight defeats and left us eighth in the Premiership, still very much in touch with the European shake-up.

A trip to Leeds United follows on Saturday and Glenn declared: "There is no good beating Birmingham if we don't conslidate with some good football and results on the back of it.

"We can still improve but to do that and get the run-in right we need the squad back fit and it's a race against time to do that."

Glenn raised a wry smile knowing that we travel to Elland Road to face Leeds on the back of their amazing 6-1 win at Charlton.

"After all the pressure they've been under they've now won 6-1 away!" he said. "At least we did our business as well, put ourselves in a better position in the league and we're still on course for a European spot."
