Currently Playing: WoW
I am currently playing WoW again. I had initially leveled to 90 then I dropped it, because I am not a fan of the Asian lore. I am a fan of cheesy kung fu, etc. but the Orient lost its appeal to me many years ago.
I came back after dabbling elsewhere and am pleasnatly surprised to find solid raiding experience and a better balance of thigns to do. WoW has done it again. It is almost as good as it was in TBC.
Hoping will Succeed: FFXIV: ARR
Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn seems to be a game the have doubled down on and shows good signs of being a solid game rising from the ashes of a game I tried SO HARD to play when it first came out. Gorgeous character art, the best graphics... now a real combat system, an AH... basically the game most of us wanted. I really hope it works out for everyone.
Someone please make a good MMO.
Currently: EQ2
Hoping: FFXIV: ARR, AA or, further down the line, PFO or EQ Next.
Currently: Chivalry, PS2, Darkfall:Unholy Wars beta (didn't specify MMOs or not)
Waiting on: Archeage, DFUW release, Age of Wushu, and eventually Embers of Caerus, EQ next
The above is my personal opinion. Anyone displaying a view contrary to my opinion is obviously WRONG and should STHU. (neener neener)

I totally get that I didn't specify MMOs, but this is the MMO discussion area. There is an off-topic area for non-MMOs. Technically, we are only supposed to talk MMOs.
That being said, I did DL Chivalry and am looking to play it a bit. Also loving Dark Souls. Thosre are my current non-MMOs.
Would also like to state that I have hopes for TESO and Archeage. But FFXIV: ARR is my #1 game.
Someone please make a good MMO.
Currently: Vanguard: Saga of Hereos
Hopes: EQ Next or The Repopulation. OR the indie MMORPG Legends of Etherell....if it isn't just vapoware.
LOTRO and NHL 2013.
Want Neverwinter.
playing D3, STO, PS2
waiting for Marvel Heroes, and news on titan.
Planetside 2 a bit, mostly AC/AC2 though. Various single player games.
Hoping for mostly future single player titles. There's a few upcoming MMO's that sound neat, but meh. It's hard to get motivated for the future of this genre right now.
Cool thread.
Currently playing: Vendetta Online - the game that grew up from four guys in Milwaukee, was based on ideas nobody in the industry would take a risk on, and is still around today being continuously developed and updated after 10 years. Most recent innovations: multiplayer ships (capital and fighter class) and a mobile-native port letting users play in the same galaxy as pc's and laptops.
Hoping will succeed: Elite Dangerous - because it looked like this game almost didn't even make it off the ground with the kickstarter, and yet proved the market for twitch-based spaceflight is there. More competition tends to lead to more innovation, and as a dreamer I see more competition as a good thing.
"To be what you are not, experience what you are not." -Saint John of the Cross
Authored 131 missions in Vendetta Online
Check it out on Steam
Playing Skyrim, Torchlight2 and RaiderZ currently. Ive semi-given up on GW2 because every since the hype train dropped for me for Neverwinter I jsut can't see me playing it because it doesn't offer the kind of content I want.
Desperatly waiting for Neverwinter.
Sandbox means open world, non-linear gaming PERIOD!
Subscription Gaming, especially MMO gaming is a Cash grab bigger then the most P2W cash shop!
Bring Back Exploration and lengthy progression times. RPG's have always been about the Journey not the destination!!!
Currently playing: RTS games and their spinoff, the MOBAs. Also could play Vanguard, but I don't Like their "f2p" options(look, if I am going to sub to anything, it would DEFINITELY be Rift). I wanted to play a Druid, but it is locked ( ). As well as are most interesting races...
Waiting for: The Secret World purchase, now that it is B2P. It'll be a wonder if I find it before my birthday in March(LOL!). Also, for bot patch in HoN and to see what crazy new things will Riot invent.
Wanting to Succeed: Worthy games. All of them. Simple as that.
Currently playing TERA, Age of Wushu CB (NA and RU accounts) and a bit of Vanguard.
Looking forward FF ARR, Archage, Blade & Soul and EQnext
GW2 and some planetside 2
I hope PS2 and archeage both do well. Planetside 1 was one of the best games ever made, IMHO, and I would play PS2 more if I had a better computer and friends to play with. I have a few friends who enjoy GW2 so that is what I do right now; it is pretty good. I also liked GW1 so I knew GW2 wouldn't be too far from the mark and it is not.
Play as your fav retro characters: cnd-online.net. My site: www.lysle.net. Blog: creatingaworld.blogspot.com.
currently playing a heavily modified skyrim with realism mods and graphics mods for the true sandbox rpg feel.
Hoping and preying that TESO will be awesome as hell and continue my love of TES games.
Currently playing : Mabinogi, although I haven't logged in a few days. Pretty much the only MMO I've played lately. Been spending more times with non-MMORPGs as of late (Skyrim and DOTA 2) but that's out of subject.
Hoping will be a success : There hasn't been much that caught my attention other than ArcheAge. I guess I'd add Phantasy Star Online 2 to that list as well since there are no NA/EU servers yet. Defiance as well, although I don't see myself playing it for a very long time (few weeks tops). That's pretty much it.
Playing - GW2, TSW, and LotRO
On Hold - EQ2, STO, and RaiderZ
Anticipating - Neverwinter and City of Steam. City of Steam is a mechanical fantasy world with a steam punk atmosphere. It has a really nice community. Neverwinter is something I've been looking forward to for a very long time.
Playing - SWTOR
Hoping to suceed - All games.
I can't think how anyone can be petty enough to hope for an entertainment product to fail but that might be my bias talking.
Gdemami -
Informing people about your thoughts and impressions is not a review, it's a blog.
playing lol and cabal
created characters in tsw and gw2 but havent been able to play properly... was in a bus accident : <
There are people who play games and then there are gamers.
Playing: Vindictus and slumming through EQ2.
Not much on the radar really. Maybe Blade and Soul, Mabinogi 2, and EQNext.

: I currently have a 1965 American Std 12" rough-in toilet and want to replace it with a Toto Carrollton. What should I expect in terms of additional time and expense (plumber charges) to change to the Toto instead of just replacing the existing toilet with a new American Std. toilet? This is a complete bathroom remodel. Thank you for your input

Bills' Jackson improving quickly
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Sep 21 2012 1:35PM
On Thursday, Buffalo Bills head coach Chan Gailey told reporters that Fred Jackson was a bit ahead of schedule. As reporters were being escorted out of practice on Friday, Jackson looked fairly fluid in his movements on his injured knee.
Jackson, now only 12 days removed from a sprained LCL, participated in change-of-direction and agility drills with trainers watching. Sporting a brace on his injured right knee, Jackson made cuts and didn't show much hesitation in the few repetitions that were seen.
The running back was originally scheduled to miss anywhere from three-to-eight weeks. There has been no updated timetable for a potential Jackson return, but the 31-year old has had a positive week of practice that have allowed thoughts of a rapid recovery to creep in.
Jackson has been ruled out for the Bills' upcoming contest versus Cleveland.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Emery County continues to be the place for the discovery of dinosaurs. The Morrison Formation has revealed another of its hidden treasures with the discovery of an allosaurus near Castle Dale. About 10 miles down a dirt road leading into the Swell the dinosaur was discovered in December and excavation work began in May. The dinosaur lies approximately 200 yards off the roadway up a small hill.
Ramal Jones is Emery County's own dinosaur hunter. He has discovered a dinosaur and his wife Carole is also noted for finding one too. Jones was out with employees from the College of Eastern Utah Prehistoric museum in December of last year. They discovered some bones below the area where the new dinosaur was found. Further exploration led to the discovery of the dinosaur in the old flood plain. At that time four femur bones were removed from the site, and 10 bones total, but then winter set in and the site was covered until spring when work has started again at the site. The bones were recovered from the shale. The site contains 27 articulated vertebrae. Bill Heffner, from the CEU staff found the site while out looking for bones. The staff is continually looking for new sites.
This dinosaur is articulated meaning the bones are connected together and still in the position they were in when the animal was deposited. The site is being referred to as the gooseneck site because of the way the vertebrae bent back. This dinosaur's neck was bent back after it was dead when it was deposited in its final resting place. At this site bones from a young allosaurus, a carnivore, and from a sauropod a long necked herbivore have been found.
These dinosaurs lived during the late Jurassic period approximately 140 million years ago. The bone bed lies in the brushy basin, of the Morrison Formation. The Morrison Formation is famous for its abundance of fossils. This is the same formation where the Cleveland-Lloyd dinosaur quarry lies near Cleveland. The Morrison Formation was formed from the deposits of lakes and slow moving streams and rivers. Dinosaur bones were covered with sediments carried by moving water. The sediment covered and protected the bones from scavengers, bacteria and insects.
As sediments continued to build up the slow process of fossilization started. Dissolved minerals in the ground water began to fill up the porous spaces of the bone. Over centuries the bone turned to rock. Under the right conditions every minute detail of the bone can be preserved even down to the microscopic level.
During the excavation the volunteer workers as well as CEU museum personnel have been carefully removing the layer of dirt and sediment over the bones. They use brooms and dust pans to carefully remove the dirt.
Jones said, "After the bone has been carefully cleaned they will French around the bone. They will pedestal the bone. They will cover the bone with wet paper towels and newspaper. The bone will then be covered with burlap strips soaked in plaster of Paris. They will build up a lip and undercut the bone. It will be allowed to dry and then it is popped loose like with a tire iron and turned over. The bone in its jacket will be transported to the lab at the CEU museum. It will be uncovered slowly.
"If the bone isn't handled properly it can fracture into a bunch of pieces. It must be glued carefully. After the bone is exposed in the lab, it is cleaned and given a catalog number and placed in the archives. This archives is a repository for the BLM and all the bones found go there. Any digs CEU participates in go into this repository. The bones are held in trust and available for study.
"After the identification period, casts will be made of the bones. Any parts that are missing will need to be molded as well so a complete dinosaur can be replicated. Then a complete skeleton can be assembled for our museum or other museums can purchase them. This is a long process from the finding of a dinosaur to the completion of a skeleton for display," said Jones.
Jones said an allosaurus tooth had been discovered at the site as well, from the tooth it looks like the skull of the beast will be two feet long. The dinosaur itself could measure 25 feet long.
Jones said, "Man has always been concerned about where life came from and how it evolved. The earth is old, it has many different ages and periods of time that go back hundreds of millions of years. Discoveries like this dinosaur can help tell the story of what this earth looked like. Stories of how coal beds were formed and other questions can be answered. Dinosaurs are a part of that era. There is a lot of curiosity about dinosaurs. They can be used for scientific research and public curiosity. Sites like this let the people see it's not just a bunch of rocks. There is a history and a reason and rhyme behind these discoveries. When you look across the Swell, you are seeing millions of years of natural history.
"Dinosaurs have been discovered throughout the world. They existed before the continents broke off and formed North and South America. There are different kinds of dinosaurs found here, but they seem to be from the same family. Before my wife Carole discovered her dinosaur, they didn't think that kind of dinosaur existed in North America, but that discovery proved they did exist here. New discoveries are being made all the time and new information revealed. There is a lot of interest in dinosaurs.
"Some dinosaur dig sites are kept secret, but with this site being so close to the road. We wanted to share it with the public and let them see how an excavation site works. Part of the reason for secrecy with most sites, is the archeologists don't want people to disturb the sites and cause damage to the bones. We want to involve the public here as much as possible to let them see how life existed at different times in the earth's history," said Jones.
It is expected to take a week to excavate the dinosaur.
The CEU museum is a world class museum and repository for dinosaur bones. Right now the museum is in a search for a new director. Applications have been received from all over the country and there is a lot of interest in the position. Interviews are being conducted this week for the position.
Jones said, "The discovery of the new dinosaur will help develop our area and increase its importance in the world of dinosaurs. At CEU museum there are a lot of discoveries and nowhere to put them. I would like to see the counties help develop and grow the resources we have with this dinosaur history. There are a lot of people interested in dinosaurs and our area and discoveries of this kind help promote our area."
Mike Leschin is the paleontologist for the Price Field Office. He is the director of the Cleveland-Lloyd dinosaur quarry. He was on site at the dig. His job was to get all the clearances needed so the site could be excavated. He completed all the paperwork involved to see the site is in compliance.
On this excavation day a number of volunteers and visitors to the site gathered to help and watch the extraction. Alex Atkinson, 8, from Salt Lake said, "I am from Salt Lake. I came down here with my dad and grandpa to visit the site. It's pretty cool. This is the first bone I've worked on. I've been brushing the dirt off the bone with a paint brush to clean it."
Crews will remain at the site around the clock until the excavation is complete.

Lena was born wealthy, she is used to the finer things in life no matter how she tries to act otherwise, SO WHY THE HELL CANT SHE FIND CLOTHES THAT FLATTER HER BODY OR GET THEM MADE BY VICTORA BECKHAM WHO SOMEHOW HAS A WAY OF MAKING CLOTHES THAT FLATTER THE BODYReplyCancel
Yes I am happy that Lena is happy with her body. But I would be happier if Lena got a stylist who wasn't smoking meth before picking out her outfits that's all. A small request. Love her enthusiasm. She could apply her enthusiasm towards
"Good taste" would love more.
so true @sugarbreadReplyCancel
WHAAAAAT I love Lena's dress here. It's youthful and flirty, it flatters her hips, and — who'd have guessed it! — she has great legs. Best she's looked on a red carpet. I think the problem is, her look is "unfinished": no gems; no pocketbook; no wrap or shrug; no hose. I think that's why it feels like her dresses "wear her." Great makeup though.
I think it's ballsy to wear tea-length to a black-tie affair, but Marion Cotillard can do no wrong. Plus she looks like she can sit down without dying. You can't buy that!
Kanye looks good.ReplyCancel
Damn this set hurts my eyes.ReplyCancel
My only issue with the way Lena dresses for the red carpet is that she always matches her eye make-up with her dress! tacky tackyReplyCancel
I'm kind of digging on Naomi Watts' dress.
Adriana Lima looks like she got lost on her way to be an extra in the next horribly historically inaccurate movie about ancient greece and/or rome.
Did Kanye forget his white tie? Maybe that's why his bitchface is in full effect. He just realized the tacky bitch next to him made him forget it.
Kendall Jenner… what can I say? That look is 20 different shades of Knot's Landing wrong.
I like Lena's dress. It's way girlier than I would've anticipated her going and I like it. I really would've liked it for homecoming in 1993.
All the talk of Grey Gardens makes me miss my GG buddy. You know who you are. We're still gonna live on the coast once the men are dead!
Back to the topic at hand – GMAFB, y'all.ReplyCancel
lol at Unknown. I was thinking the same thing.ReplyCancel
I like Naomi's dress, too.
I also think Lena's dress suits her well. She could have used some jewelry, but I think she looks relatively pretty.
Kendall is channeling Angie Harmon there, but Angie does it way better, and it is age appropriate for her.
Mary Kate and Ashley look like creepy old dolls.
I think Kim is sucking the life out of Kanye. He always looks bitchy, but here he looks like a shell of himself, with the matchy matchy his-and-hers pose and all.ReplyCancel
Kendall is gorgeous and better werk while she's still got it, so I'm all about her doing her thing. That said….she looks horrible. What in the Dress Barn Formal, Cookie Lee hell is she wearing? The girl is negative size zero – she could've worn anything. And she decides to go with the champagne flute? Disappoint.
Loooooove Marion.
Love Lena and her confidence too, but I'm tired of sighing every time I see her wear, well, anything. Pretty dress though.
Naomi wore her salmon skin dinner to the party…tisk tisk.ReplyCancel
So… …Part Two of the Met Gala photos are where you listed the worst dressed? /=ReplyCancel
I think Kendall looks 100 times better than Kimmode. Kim K DOES NOT look like she works out at all! She is doughy looking from her arms to her legs. No way she works out like she is always pretending to (pap photos of her in gym clothes). She looks short and fat and Kayne looks like a bitch.ReplyCancel
Kim's dress is pretty, but she is too short for it! She just cannot understand that she does NOT have Kendall's body.
Radar is calling Kim "leggy". Hilarious.ReplyCancel
I actually like Lena's dress except it make her look flatter on top that she possibly is, at least that dress has some pizzazz and fun factors

Holy cow Marion. Love her entire look!
Kendall is gorgeous. She does look a little 80s as someone mentioned, but who cares? She's working it. I didn't realize she's so tall.
Kim: STFU
I usually love Naomi Watts, but I am really over the whole short skirt w/long sheer thing. I hate it.ReplyCancel
Karlie appears to be wearing vintage Kramer jewels photographed on Kate Moss for a Vogue cover.
Naomi's dress – good idea, bad execution. That could have been so much better.
Kendall is ready to make that money! Kanye looks like a waiter while Kimmode does the Jolie. Too funny! They brought the humor again!!
Lena – really? That's the best she could do???
Trollsons are also too funny!! Lots of humor here.ReplyCancel
I think Kim looks good for her, she was papped with a different belt when leaving the hotel though and she switched it to the ribbon look. The other belt was totally wrong. Kanye looks happy in pics in the dmReplyCancel
Kim's leg looks like it should have a beaver gnawing at it. Love floaty, fabulous Florence.ReplyCancel
Lena…fart! I love the Olsens in this pic.ReplyCancel
SPRINK! Bahahaha!ReplyCancel
I'm becoming convinced that Wintour is sinking the ship before they make her walk the plank.
Kendall, how cheap is that too tight puckered up dress? I only know this because I watch Project Runway. That sewing mistake always sends a designer home. Oh, and is that old dude behind you your paid date??
Kim, you don't have the look. You never have and you never will. However, you could make a ton of money selling your fun house mirrors to stores everywhere. You have accomplished to make Lena look tall and slimmer than yourself. Despite your lipo sessions.
Dear Lord, I've forgot what any other dress looks like. My eyes are on fire.ReplyCancel
Kanye looks entirely miserable while Kim is the next lamer trying to pull of the angelina leg dress. Kylie looks good though.ReplyCancel

How cellular manufacturing can work in contract manufacturing
How a fabricator revamped its floor layout, and why it hasn't looked back
For the past year one contract fabricator in Georgia has operated under the cellular manufacturing concept. Even in the shop's high-product-mix environment, the concept is working—even thriving.
In one area of Metcam's shop floor sits a punch press that feeds parts to a robotic press brake, which feeds parts to an area with a hardware insertion press, and manual and robotic gas metal arc welding machines. Workers produce enclosures for a unit that converts the direct current of solar arrays into alternating current. Metcam won that large contract earlier this year, and part of what helped the Alpharetta, Ga.-based fabricator was that cell concept, built to produce the product family (see Figures 1 and 2).
Last year this corner of the shop looked completely different. Back then workers assembled components for a large electrical components company. Metcam still does that work, just in a different place. Earlier this year that work had to be moved to another building off-site. But over the months the company reduced work-in-process (WIP) in another area of the plant, allowing it to move the operation back into the building, transforming inventory space into productive space.
Meanwhile, the company had another bottleneck to overcome—the powder coat line. So the shop installed another paint line, but with an unusual parts washing system, a modular one that can be assembled and disassembled over a few days.
All this change occurred not over years, but months. Adapting cellular manufacturing to the job shop can work wonders when it comes to productivity, scheduling, and on-time delivery. It also requires change—lots of it. But according to managers at Metcam, change is not a bad thing. It's what continuous improvement is all about.
A Lot of Racking Going On
In February of last year The FABRICATOR covered how the shop rearranged its shop floor into cells, each with machines for cutting, bending and forming, hardware insertion, and other processes. The argument against manufacturing cells in contract metal fabrication has always hinged on product mix. Historically, manufacturers developed cells that were product-specific. How could cells possibly work for an operation with dozens, hundreds, even thousands of different part numbers?
Metcam's managers had a different perspective. They discovered that for their diverse part mix, every part was cut, most parts were bent, and most also required hardware. They also found that separating these processes by department actually created tremendous amounts of WIP. The cutting department cut blanks and put them on racks. The bending department retrieved those blanks from the racks, bent them, and then put them back on yet another rack. Workers processed the part, racked it, processed it, and racked it.
So the company set up cells (initially seven, now eight) designed primarily around—but not exclusively for—product families (see Figure 3). Most jobs flowing through a particular cell may be part of the same product family, but not all jobs. Certain hot jobs or short runs may be assigned to the same cell, scheduled in between the longer runs.
According to Jerry Ward, vice president of operations, the arrangement promotes high-velocity production. Parts may be cut, deburred, bent, and have hardware inserted in the morning; welded in the afternoon and painted at night; then shipped to the customer the next day.
Ward added that flexibility, including the ability to squeeze in unexpected work, is one of the primary benefits of cellular manufacturing. In the past, if a hot job came in the door, the scheduler had to squeeze in the job between batches at every process: laser cutting or punching, bending, hardware insertion, joining, and assembly. All that squeezing is effectively what made the hot job "hot."
Cells have made it so the first manufacturing step is what used to be multiple processes: say, the "punching-bending-hardware" step. Instead of negotiating time with multiple departments, the scheduler now makes that hot job the next order in queue. Hot jobs are no longer "hot." They're just, well, the next job.
Finishing Efficiency
This significantly increased available capacity in those primary operations, so much so that managers soon realized they had another bottleneck to contend with, this time at the powder coat line. So the company added a second finishing line (see Figure 4), installed by Conyers, Ga.-based Automotive Industrial Solutions (AIS). The powder coat line itself came from Somerville, Ala.-based Reliant Finishing Systems.
But the decision wasn't that simple. In cellular manufacturing, parts move through multiple processes quickly, spending little if any time as WIP. But a powder coat line is at its core a batch-style process. Because of all the plumbing, not to mention the drying furnaces required, it just doesn't make sense to have one painting or coating operation for each cell.
Still, changing over a paint line isn't too arduous, especially if you aren't reclaiming powder, something most fabricators don't bother with anyway, because the time and effort that it takes to reclaim the powder costs more than what fabricators save on it. This sometimes applies even for product-line manufacturing. Ward described how one of Metcam's largest customers invested in a powder reclamation system and ended up not using it. "It just takes too much time," he said, "and time is so important."
Technicians ensure parts for the next job are hung and staged at the ready, to minimize downtime between runs (see Figure 5).
Then, during the paint changeover, they simply leave a gap in the line, during which they have about five minutes to change out their equipment. "Generally, we have one or two people helping to prep the changeover," Ward said. "We have backup guns, so that the paint technician can just roll right in and start with another color."
Although the company changes out colors as needed, it does hold a little WIP before the paint line. That work mostly involves special colors. "One of our customers has products that come in 20 different colors," Ward said.
A few colors dominate, while the remaining "specials" involve extremely short runs. If the company actually processed those parts as soon as they arrived in the paint staging area, the paint line would need to change over more than a dozen times a day, which would put a serious drain on throughput.
What makes powder coating a little inflexible is the pretreatment that comes before it. Some parts can require four or five stages of pretreatment others may require two or three. Moreover, the space between those metal prep stages may differ depending on the part geometry. Long parts require a lot of space between stages; short parts, not so much.
That's why most shops install a preparation line large enough to accept its largest parts and then some. Metcam's second powder coat area has a pretreatment line that's 93 feet long, long enough to accept its largest parts (see Figures 6 and 7).
The system was developed and first used by Mankato, Minn.-based Associated Finishing, Inc., a custom coater that was instrumental in helping Pretreatment Equipment Manufacturing (PEM) Corp. design and produce the SprayLean product. The inline pretreatment system consists of modular 4- and 6-ft. stages, made of a stainless steel frame with a poly tank and shell. The stages can be installed in a certain configuration, then expanded, contracted, or otherwise altered if the shop's metal prep needs should change.
"Each module operates independently," said Ted Schreyer, vice president of PEM. "So say you start out and just need a two-stage washer; maybe you're just cleaning and rinsing. Now you want to go to a three-stage process; all you have to do is add more modules. It all locks together, almost like LEGOs."
Metcam purchased a pretreatment line long enough to handle its largest parts. If the line happens to be cleaning parts that don't need so many stages, the technician simply turns off a few spray modules—a typical practice. But what if someday Metcam's product mix changes to the point that it needs a third paint line for smaller parts? The fabricator now has the option of removing some modules in its current line and using them to build that third line. The company has no plans of doing this anytime soon, but change is inevitable in contract fabrication. Shop floor configurations transform with the product mix, and this someday may include changes to the painting operation.
Constraint Management
"We work off of some of the ideas behind the theory of constraints here," Ward said.
Several years ago, before the shop's transformation to a cellular layout, WIP was everywhere. Machines ran flat out all the time, but fewer products were shipping out the door. Parts didn't flow, but instead slogged forward from one rack to the next. Now those racks are gone, and the little WIP that remains makes the constraint processes stand out.
This includes the WIP in front of the paint lines (see Figure 8). The vast majority of work ahead of the paint line won't be there long. "Most of this will be painted this afternoon," said Ward. "And it will be gone tomorrow morning.
"I don't tell anyone [in upstream processes] to slow down because the paint line is behind," Ward continued. "I want everyone to run wide open, and I'll figure out how to get it through." This may include moving certain people to the paint prehang area or to masking.
"I see these guys mess with each other, too," Ward said. "Every time the paint backlog gets a little low, the people in the paint area say, 'Bring it on.' And the people upstream ramp it up and get parts to them. And they say, 'OK, big boy. You've got your parts now.' They have fun with it."
High-level ERP
The fabricator's paint lines adapt a traditionally large-batch process to accept the small lot sizes received from upstream cells. Now the company is tackling another adaptation, this one involving its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.
Today Metcam uses its ERP system, Syteline by Infor, to schedule and track costs on the shop floor. But the manufacturing steps identified within the ERP still go by process-oriented definitions. To produce a part may require punching, bending, hardware insertion, welding, and painting, and to track orders, workers must log each job before and after each process. That's a lot of data entry.
To simplify matters, the front-office team is attempting to change the ERP software's process definitions to include a "cell" as one operation, each requiring a certain amount of time and number of people. This way, just one person needs to log jobs, and only when these jobs enter and exit the cell. This simplifies data entry and reduces the chance for errors.
The details get tricky because of the highly variable nature of job shop work. For instance, two adjacent cells on the floor have a punch press, several press brakes, and hardware insertion presses. Depending on capacity levels, workers may move jobs to other cells. For instance, say they punch and bend on one cell, but then find that the hardware machines are busy with a batch of complicated parts. So to keep parts flowing, they might send that work to hardware insertion machines in an adjacent cell. The company now is identifying all these potential routings. Ward admitted that it is a complicated task. But, ultimately, the system may help streamline operations even further.
For example, say one job requires the operator to contort the part awkwardly to insert the fasteners. Looking at the ERP data alone, a manager would see how long it takes for the hardware operator to make it through a batch of parts, identify that as a constraint process, and may add another hardware press to boost productivity.
Tracking time on a cellular level, though, can identify hidden opportunities. Consider the same part, but now the ERP system is tracking only how long it takes for the job to flow through an entire cell. The ERP identifies an inefficiency but just with the cell, not a specific fabrication process. The technicians at the cell see this inefficiency and brainstorm. What if a brake operator bent these pieces halfway through the sequence, went over to the hardware press to insert the fastener, then finished the bend sequence? It turns out this arrangement can increase throughput without additional people or machines.
This kind of thinking is what has made the cellular concept work so well, Ward said. The cells have been changed since the initial layout last year, and they undoubtedly will change again as new orders come in and the product mix changes.
Every change aims not to increase capacity of a certain cutting center, bending machine, or paint line, but to shorten overall manufacturing time. If more products don't ship in less time, the fastest cutting, bending, or welding technologies really don't make much of a difference.
"Since we changed to a cellular layout, we have never looked back," Ward said. "My only regret is that we didn't do this sooner."

"The world must be made safe from democracy!"--Turaga Vesumis, in his declaration of war speechTenebrae Invictus of the Northwestern Isles Continuity Presents...Hello all, and welcome to One Nation Under The Great Spirit. I finally decided to get off my lazy butt and start making comics once more (last actual comic series I had was in Fall 2009.)This story is set in Metrucity, which is a nation somewhat similar to Metru-Nui, just set in a different universe, with many differences (such as naming and elements of Toa, along with what kind they are.) The Executive Turaga, Turaga Vesumis, passes some laws for the people of Metrucity, and they aren't exactly favorable laws everyone wants to follow.With BZP back and all, you'll find this is a repost. But don't fear! I do have some progress made on a next comic, so I'm not just going to have this be a ghost topic. Why would I do that? There's an archive with this topic anyways.

Recommended Terms & Conditions
Private Sales - Public Auctions
The Board of Directors of the American Hereford Association (AHA) make the following recommendations:
- All cattle or genetic material (embryos, semen or any DNA material) offered for sale will be sold to the highest bidder. The person in charge of the sale (seller, auctioneer, or sale manager whether live public auction or internet auction) will settle any disputes with regards to bids, and his/her decision will be final.
- Corrections or additions of any information in the sale catalog will be announced from the auction stand or on the internet site (in the case of internet auctions) prior to the selling of the animal or genetic material, and such announcements will take precedence over any printed material.
- Animals that are carriers of known genetic abnormalities will be either so indicated in the sale catalog, announced from the auction block, or both.
- It is the responsibility of the seller in a public auction to provide the sale manager, in writing, prior to the sale, a listing of corrections of information printed in the sale catalog.
- All sales are for immediate cash settlement unless other credit arrangements have been established between buyer and seller prior to the sale.
- The animal or genetic material becomes the property and risk of the buyer as soon as sold but it shall be the responsibility of the seller to see that animals are properly cared for, free of charge to purchaser, until delivered to buyer or until the expiration of 24 hours after the sale, which ever comes first.
- It is the obligation of the seller to make sure that each animal sold has a readable tattoo corresponding to its registration paper.
- Buyers have a responsibility to recheck the tattoos after taking possession and reporting any discrepancies to the seller immediately.
- In the case that an animal is marketed under a nickname, the nickname must also be accompanied by the official registered name and registration number.
- Seller shall transfer a breeding animal to buyer within 10 days of settlement.
- The official AHA registration certificate is not a legal title or proof of ownership. The registration paper simply states who has AHA membership rights to control the registration of progeny associated with an individual registered animal along with the transfer of said rights to a new owner.
- The seller guarantees that the animal is registered according to the rules of the AHA and that the pedigrees of all animals or genetic material are registered in the Herd Book of the AHA.
- If a female is sold bred and carrying the service of bulls requiring AI certificates, said AI certificates shall be provided by the seller unless otherwise stated.
- Certificates required for registration of purchased embryos shall be the responsibility of the buyer unless otherwise agreed upon.
- Rights to genetic material for purposes of cloning an animal shall be transferred to the buyer with a legal bill of sale unless otherwise specified by the seller in the terms and conditions and/or the bill of sale.
- Expected progeny differences provided to Hereford breeders enrolled in the AHA TPR program are statistical predictions or estimates of expected performance of future progeny, not guarantees of performance.
- All animals will be eligible for interstate shipment as required by federal regulation.
- Buyers should be aware of their own state's specific health requirements.
- All animals are guaranteed to be breeders with the exception of (a) calves under 12 months of age at time of purchase; (b) any female that is placed in an embryo transplant program and subjected to super-ovulation; or (c) gross negligence on the part of the buyer.
- Sellers guarantee that bulls are breeders if the bull is at least 12 months of age at the time of the sale and is not turned out into cows before 14 months of age. A bull can also be guaranteed a breeder if it has passed a breeding soundness exam performed by a competent veterinarian or reproductive technician. Any agreement with respect to the ability to freeze semen shall be a separate agreement between buyer and seller.
- When selling semen interest only, the bull is guaranteed to produce viable semen which will survive the freezing process and upon post-thaw will settle a healthy cow.
- Females sold as safe in calf have been examined by a competent veterinarian or have been guaranteed safe in calf through a blood test
- Open females are guaranteed to be without calf.
- Any agreement with respect to Embryo Transfer production shall be a separate agreement between buyer and seller.
Genetic Abnormality Policy
1. Seller will be responsible for informing buyers of all known information relative to genetic abnormalities.
2. Buyer will assume all risk associated with the purchase of known and unknown genetic abnormality carrier animals provided the seller has disclosed all known information relative to said genetic abnormalities.
3. Seller is not responsible for any new genetic abnormalities that are recognized by the American Hereford Association after the sale of an animal or genetic material.
Exercising Options for Adjustment
1. The purchaser must notify the seller of his dissatisfaction with an animal in writing within six months of the sale date.
2. In the event an animal is claimed to be a non-breeder, the purchaser may return the animal to the seller's farm if in good condition and is accompanied with a health certificate indicating that the animal is free from infectious and contagious disease. This is done at purchaser's expense. The seller is then entitled to six months trial following return of the animal, at which time he will have the opportunity to determine the animal's breeding ability. If at the end of six months the seller is unable to prove the animal a sound breeder, the seller shall have the option to replace the animal with another of similar quality or to refund the purchase price. If the seller determines the proven breeding ability of the animal it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to accept delivery of the animal. All transportation is to be at the purchaser's expense.
3. If a female is sold under the conditions "safe in calf" and she proves to not be pregnant, the purchaser may receive service of the bull to which she was previously served, if available, or service to another bull of the purchaser's choice owned by the seller, or an adjustment of 25 percent of the purchase price which should be considered satisfactory settlement and will relieve the seller from further liability, except in case such female proves to be a non-breeder. The expense of transportation shall be an obligation assumed by the purchaser.
4. If a female is sold as "served" or "pasture bred" and proves not to be safe in calf, the purchaser may return the female to the farm of the seller at the purchaser's expense to be served to the bull previously used, if available, or to another bull made available by the seller and agreed upon by the purchaser.
5. If a female sold as "open" proves to be with calf, the purchaser may return the animal to the farm of the seller for a refund of full purchase price or for another animal of similar quality. In all cases it shall be the obligation of the purchaser to bear any expense resulting from transportation.
6. If an adjustment must be made on any part of a cow-calf pair, the adjustment can be partitioned by weighting the value of the cow by 75% of the purchase price and 25% of the value placed on the calf.
For additional information refer to the American Hereford Association's Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and Rules and Regulations of said Association.

FORT WORTH, Texas — A weekend funeral is scheduled for Van Cliburn, the celebrated pianist whose virtuosity triumphed over the Cold War.
Family spokesman Tom Stoker says a funeral is scheduled for 3-5 p.m. Sunday at the Broadway Baptist Church in Fort Worth, where Cliburn worshipped for decades. Entombment at the mausoleum at Greenwood Memorial Park will follow.
Stoker says services will be open to the public, as will a 4-6 p.m. Saturday visitation at the church.
Cliburn died Wednesday at 78 after fighting bone cancer. He had played for every American president since Harry Truman, plus royalty and heads of state around the world. But he is best remembered for winning the first International Tchaikovsky Competition in Moscow in 1958, as the height of the Cold War.
