Got a bunch of new equipment (ponderosa pine from Kelleys) for the spring and want to get opinions on what you use and more important, how long it lasts.
Got a bunch of new equipment (ponderosa pine from Kelleys) for the spring and want to get opinions on what you use and more important, how long it lasts.
You will get lots of opinions on this one but as far as I am concerned this stuff is the "gold standard". It's not cheap in any way. The first time I tried it I was cured from ever buying budget barn paint again.
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
Eco Wood Treatment, available from Walter T. Kelley or from Home Depot. Creates a beautiful weathered look on wood, and you don't have to worry about re-applying.
I also recommend the Eco Wood Treatment from Walter T. Kelley. I have attached a picture of our hive. This was in July about 4 months after we applied the treatment. According to Walter T. Kelley, you never have to reapply. 007.jpg
SueBeeTN, it looks great, I'll have to try some of that.
I haven't tried the Eco Wood but as far as paint goes I second the Home Depot Behr paint no comparison. I've tried Lowe's top notch and it's like night and day. Behr is a little pricey but for ease of application and durability it's head and shoulders above the rest.
I think Kelley is actually cheaper if you buy it by the gal. Home Depot is if you want 5 gal. I'd recommend getting 1 gal to start with. It makes plenty. I wouldn't be shocked if you could treat 40 to 50+ boxes with 1 gal. I recommend applying to the exterior of boxes before assembly. Some people dip em, I just lay them out flat on my tailgate and apply with a foam brush. You'll think you got gypped at first, because nothing happens, but after getting rained on 1 time it transitions nicely to the color SueBeeTN posted.
We foud semi-gloss latex was the easiest to use and the longest lasting until a few years ago someone got sent for paint and came back with 5 gallons of stain. clean up was a hassel but clearly it sunk into the wood and after 4 years afield we are using stain for all new woodwork. A couple of things to consider with paint is color. Darker colored paints were shown to increase hive temps and have a negative impact on varroa and also helped in keeping hives hidden in outyards or suburban areas where the sight of bright white beehives might bring unwanted attention.
Are you priming before using the Behr exterior paint or do you apply it directly to the bare wood? How many coats do you apply?
"People will generally accept facts as truth only if the facts agree with what they already believe."- Andy Rooney
I have been putting Titebond III on all end grain, knots and nail holes. Then I apply two coats of Zinsser and then two coats of Menards exterior (don't remember the brand) white, semi-gloss latex. I don't have enough history to know how it will work. About 3 weeks ago I tried burning the grain of some hives and applied 3 coats of marine varnish. They look much nicer than the white painted ones, but we will see how they last.
Thanks for all the input. I wonder how long the Eco wood treatment would last? Sure looks nice and would be less labor in applying it than paint. Those of you painting how many years are you getting before having to redo?
Is the Eco product a paint or a dip? I was under the impression from Kelley's description that it is a powder that you mix with water and dip.
As far as paint, I use Valspar 2-in-1 primer + paint for finishing my hives.
mis tints are 5 bucks a gallon at shirwin williams and all those paints and stains are there
Ahhh the age old question, to paint, stain, etc. This is what we do and it works for us.
We build our own boxes out of pine and brand every panel before assembly using the drill press method. During assembly we use Titebond III on the joints and fasten them using 7/16x1.5" galvanized staples via a Senco pneumatic stapler. Once the glue dries we prepare a batch of Eco Treatment. It comes in a powder form and we make 5-10 gallons at a shot using distilled water. The reason for the distilled water is that it will store in solution longer without worry, per the manufacturer. In addition, for each gallon of mix we add about 5 ounces (a little more than 1/2 a cup) of water based dye, which can be purchased at your local paint or big box store. The reason for the dye is to further distinguish our equipment even though it is branded. We use browns and greens to blend in with the surroundings and to warrant a clean look. Eco is poured into a large pan and each super is rotated through the solution. The interior and the sides all get coated. We treat all equipment the same. Yes it uses a lot of eco treatment, but compare the product cost to the labor cost of paining equipment. Plus the eco allows for the branding to stand out.
The average lifespan of a super, in our opinion is 10 years. We stopped dealing with paint for several reasons, but the main reason being that one day a large chip of oil based paint lodged itself under a finger nail. From that point on, no more paint.

Workers really don't want to be friends with their bosses … at least on Facebook. New research has found that workers say they have suspended their accounts or left Facebook altogether to avoid being friended by a boss on the social network.
That finding was a part of research by researchers from Cornell University that examined the reasons why people leaft Facebook or suspended their accounts.
Concerns about privacy and misuse of data were also cited as reasons why users were making the choice to close their accounts. Facebook users also say that addiction to the social network and the negative productivity associated with it were also reasons to leave Facebook. However, others were also more fearful of being friended by former romantic partners in their decision to leave the network.
[6 Signs You're Addicted to Facebook]
"In some cases, people reported feeling pressured to leave based on an institutional status, such as being a military officer or parolee," said Eric Baumer, lead author and a postdoctoral associate in communication at Cornell.
Overall, a survey of 410 people found that Facebook users were more likely to suspend their social media account than they were to completely delete their account. Eleven percent of respondents say they had deleted their Facebook account, compared with 26 percent of users who deactivated their account so they could eventually use it later. However, one-third of deactivators eventually returned to the network. Ninety percent of those who canceled their accounts say they were happy in their decision.
Additionally, the researchers also found that 75 people —18 percent of respondents— never had a Facebook account. Researchers say that those nonusers displayed a sense of pride in their decision not to join the social network.
"While some respondents reported simply not having a use for the site, others provided elaborate lists of reasons they would not join," Baumer said. "Some did not want to be on display or live 'life in a global aquarium.'"

A Guest Column in the Tomahawk Leader:
By Cheryl K. Theiler
Fairbanks, Alaska, mid August, the 172nd Stryker Unit, Fort Wainwright was preparing to deploy to Iraq. Johnny's dad and I, his sister, girlfriend and most importantly, his buddies, who came to say good-bye, were all there.
He had the cable disconnected the day before, stored his truck for the year at the Army facilities and stopped his cell phone service. His buddies were inspecting the equipment and supplies strewn all over the living room floor while Johnny was trying to decide how to pack everything in a small assault pack, duffle bag and the large frame backpack with hydration system; Johnny had grabbed the last one at the PX as he heard the Army issues was, well ... Army issue.
Doug picked up the Kevlar helmet and Johnny showed him how an attachment for the night vision goggles stuck out so he has his men put it on their helmets backwards not to be detected by the enemy when around a corner. Johnny asked me to hand him his armored vest and Jason asked him if he was nuts. Well, I did try to lift it over to him but the weight was overwhelming and Doug came to my rescue. I've read that the average warm weather soldier carries 90 pounds of gear. Johnny was already wearing the digitized camo and Schwarzkopf desert boots.
"Gee," Doug said, "we didn't have all this awesome stuff. Hey, how do you work this?" There were assault gloves and the new towels in dull desert green and sand I picked up for him at Fred Meyers. Jason who is in the Reserves had just gotten orders to deploy to Jabuti, Africa, and was taking a lot of ribbing about that. They all were excitedly talking over one another acting like it was Christmas.
Johnny's dad occasionally forced a smile and his sister, girlfriend and I, just looked on while the boys were busy playing with their toys on the floor. There was no tree and the only ornament was the gold Drill Sergeant trophy Johnny earned at Fort Sill.
He is "over there" now and when we hear from him he tells us not to listen to the news and not to worry and that when they do house-to-house searches in Mosul the Iraqis often want to make them tea or feed them.
I, as his mom, am happy for his young soldiers that 38-year-old SFC Kempen stayed in the Army and is there with them despite having already put his 20 years in. He had air assault training in Honduras, graduated top scout from sniper school, is airborne and most recently spent almost four years as a drill sergeant at Fort Sill, Okla. He is very protective of his men and in spite of already seeing combat they recently told him, "Sarge, we feel safe with you."
Their Iraqi interpreter doubles as their barber and the only payment he will take is American candy for his children. The kids are all over the soldiers and sometimes try to crawl up onto the Stryker vehicles and they use shaving cream to get them off. The soldiers give the kids candy and anything they can think of that would make them happy. He tells me they are returning with stuffed animals to a particularly poor area of Mosul where Iraqi families live in mud huts. At times it must seem a little like Christmas for these Iraqi children.
And no, our Christmas won't be the same without Johnny this year, but we are in this together with many other families, and personally, I am proud we have these stand-up men and women doing this job in the name of freedom.

Re: Sending my son off to war
I wish the media would tell the world what you just said. Too many of our soldiers are not given the respect and honor they so deserve. I have 28 plus years with the Army, as a senior NCO I can honostly say only a parent is more protective of our young soldiers then their leaders. Good luck to your son and family.

Re: Sending my son off to war
My biggest fear is that the anti-war protesters will do the same thing to our troops that they did during Viet-Nam. The more they protested the more encouraged the VC and the North became. They continued fighting long after they would have given up because they knew that our gov. would give in to the protests eventually, pull our troops out and they would win. It is happening again and I fear it will have the same results. More of our Soldiers and Marines killed because the protests are in the long run helping the terrorists.
Guns only have two enemies, Rust and politicians.
Re: Sending my son off to war
Media bias is the biggest problem we have in this country, second,and barely, to politicians doing for themselves versus the good or the people and country. I have friends who have come back from the middle east hurt, shot at and told " Americans do not like you, they send you here to die and laugh at you". They still go back for their second and third tours because they see and understand. Too bad our "liberal society" is so narrow minded. All of the antis need to live in those countries for 6 months, though they wouldn't last 6 weeks, to see what freedom is and how much it is worth. The latest kidnapped people of the freedom church claim that Bush and the war caused them to be taken. WAKE UP, during Saddams rule if they went their would have been executed! Yes, we do not have enough soldiers to do the job fast. The complainers won't enlist or let their children to serve, yet when --it hits the fan, they are the first ones complaining the Govt didn't do enough for them. Sad to think the liberal icon, President Kennedy's quote "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country" has been reversed by his followers. They have become more like Ted Kennedy, wahts in it for me. This country is becoming filled with lazy beggers wanting everyting done for them. Go back to the old ways, if you want something done, then do it, earn a living and quit expecting someone else to earn it for you.

Niki Calastas is a busy young woman. A single mother of two small kids, she works as a program administrator at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research. And last year, she was diagnosed with Stage III breast cancer.
"It was like hitting a brick wall," she said of her diagnosis.
"This is not something I thought I'd be dealing with at 32. You think, 'I'll get sick when I'm older but not yet.'"
Calastas had to deal not only with her health but also with managing her family life and career.
"How will this affect my kids? I need to go to work tomorrow; I need to make dinner. It's very disruptive. You want to hide under the covers," she said.
A co-worker recommended that Calastas visit Breast Cancer Connections (BCC), the nonprofit resource center located at 390 Cambridge Ave. in Palo Alto.
The center, which offers more than 35 free programs and services for breast-cancer patients and their families, has been providing information and support to those touched by the disease since 1993.
Calastas took her co-worker's advice and eventually joined Breast Cancer Connections' support and networking group for young women, which meets every other Tuesday evening. After losing her hair, she said she felt as though everyone stared at her, but at Breast Cancer Connections, she found a group of accepting, understanding peers.
"It was so warm and welcoming and safe," she said.
Young women (loosely defined as under age 45) diagnosed with breast cancer struggle with different issues than older cancer patients.
They're more likely than older women, for example, to have young children.
"You can ask each other about parenting strategies, what to do when your kids want to play rough, or what you're going to tell them about the cancer," Calastas said.
Other issues particularly pressing to young women can include body image, career building, dating and the potential infertility that can result from cancer treatments.
Because breast cancer is more often an older women's disease, doctors sometimes misdiagnose it in younger women until the cancer becomes more advanced.
"The doctor says, 'You're too young; it's not cancer' and then waits too long," said Cheri Livingston, Breast Cancer Connections' director of programs and services.
Young women therefore often have to undergo more aggressive treatment and suffer more side effects, Livingston added.
Group facilitator Ann Rivello said younger women sometimes have a harder time dealing with their diagnoses because they're otherwise in good health, unlike older women who have experienced prior health problems.
"It's very confusing, very shocking. It's a very inconvenient time to get cancer," she said.
At a typical meeting of six to 12 participants, members take turns giving updates about their lives and discussing issues and questions. Sometimes Rivello prompts the women to talk about what they're thankful for or what they're struggling with.
A medical social worker, Rivello volunteered to start the group in 2009, when she was diagnosed with cancer at age 38. She didn't feel comfortable in the general support groups she tried, where most of the women were post-menopause.
"It was really difficult for me. I was always the youngest, and that made me feel even more isolated," she said.
With the creation of the group for young women, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, she said. And seeing that Rivello, who has two small kids of her own, has come through cancer and is doing OK gives women in the thick of treatment hope.
"It's really important that they see a person who's gone through it. And even though emotionally and physically it takes quite a toll, the women are really quite positive. It really clarifies what's important in life," Rivello said.
Originally held on Thursdays, the group was switched to Tuesdays after some of the single women explained that Thursday is a popular date night.
For group members, meetings can provide a place of emotional release.
"I have to hold it together all week. When I walk in to BCC, I just start crying because I can. It's the only time I can be vulnerable. They understand it," Calastas said.
It can also be a place for laughter, gossip and forming relationships.
"It's amazing how quick two hours can fly by," she said, adding she's made friendships that extend past the nonprofit's walls.
"How would I ever have met these people otherwise?" she said.
Calastas, who went through chemotherapy, a double mastectomy and seven weeks of radiation, is now cancer free. She'll undergo hormone therapy for five years and is currently combating lymphedema (a side effect of the cancer treatment) but is in good health otherwise. She said she'll remain involved with Breast Cancer Connections into the foreseeable future, including volunteering there when her kids are older.
"I don't know how I would have navigated my treatment without it. These are my people. I would do anything for BCC," she said.

Individual tickets are $100, and tables for 10 are $3,000. Writer/director/activist Michealane Cristini Risley and journalist Jan Yanehiro will be featured speakers. They are two of four co-authors of the book, "This Is Not the Life I Ordered." The Palo Alto Weekly is a sponsor of the event.

The Obesity Issue
Toni Patt
Last week I heard a statistic about obesity in the United States. Currently 36% of all Americans are obese, with the number higher in the older population, according to a recent survey. I don't know if the number is accurate but it's probably close. That

Do All Medicare Part A Patients Need Therapy?
Toni Patt

The Reimbursement Paradox

I wish someone could explain this to me. The baby boomers are aging. Each year, millions more of them will become eligible for Medicare. Instead of increasing funding to cover everyone at current levels, the government is decreasing the funding. Everyone

Why Nothing Will Change at the APTA

In my last blog , I described my concerns that nothing will change with the APTA, expensive consultant group or not. I expect them to continue with the same message but repackage with new words. I see subtlety in their future. The reason I don't expect

My Patients Are Sicker Than Ever

We're all well aware of the fattening of our patients. Years ago facilities rented bariatric equipment. Now they own it. Obesity compounds other medical problems as well as interfering with mobilization, and the trend continues. I've noticed another trend

Treating a Difficult Patient

To my recent kind commenter. Here's my 2 cents worth on Capitalism today with my humble knowledge about money. I don't think Capitalism will fail, because it already did.
I am glad the governments are starting to intervene pumping cash and planning to nationalize banks because it seems this is the only way out of the deep mess free Capitalism got us in. But once that happened, and the government (a republican government) started intervening with the market, its not truly Capitalism anymore.
And what's with all the momentum Obama is gaining. I listen to the guy and its like listening to Marx with all his middle class talk. Its not what he's saying, its the amount of people voting for him despite of what he's saying.
That's why I think Capitalism is already dead.

A question. What is the difference between Kosher salt and the ordinary stuff? I've seen lots of US recipes on the net which call for Kosher salt so I use the ordinary stuff. I assume this is ok?

BALENCIAGA LE DIX CARTABLE S PYTHON BAGCategories:Other Brands
Here the proof that a twist can make a huge difference; it's the story about the Balenciaga Le Dix New Cartable S Python Bag. And don't get too excited by its name, but get excited because by its beauty.
It's chic but playful, the combination of python and bright color creates an indescribable feeling. It doesn't make it easier when you figure it out that it is sold-out online.
Let us tell you more about its story…
You see, you can either get it in Pochette-shape or shoulder bag. Both are stunning, the very long name is inspired by the 10 Avenue George V Flagship boutiques. Interesting right?
It's mixed with exotic leather and calfskin, to be exact, the front is made from python and the other parts are calfskin leather. It's also mixed with contrasted colors like white and soft-yellow or white with soft-pink.
The bag is structured and holds shape. Obviously if you choose the shoulder bag, it comes with an adjustable strap that can also be removed. And to make it even more interesting, the interior features a mirror in a trapezoid case. And the closing snap on the front is embellished with the logo 'Balenciaga.Paris'.
I love everything about Paris, and you?
Balenciaga Le Dix New Cartable S Python Bag
Size: 29 x 23 x 12 (W x H x D)
Price: $2495 USD, €1675 euro
Balenicaga Le Dix Pochette Cartable Strap Python Bag
Size: 31 x 20 x 8 (W x H x D)
Price: $2195 USD, €1475 euro

Balenciaga Padlock Work S BagCategories:Other Brands
Every beautiful morning I wake up and my phone is always somewhere within hand's reach. Somehow it has become a common behavior to quickly check my messages, am I alone on this world? Probably not, phones have become a necessity and no morning is too early to be notice about a brand-new bag or a new release. At least you are up-to-date about fashion and you are prepared mentally for the next shopping spree. Let it be productive.
Balenciaga turned around their classics by introducing the new Maillon collection, but what we didn't expect is that the Padlock bag has been re-designed. An ambush for anyone who has just bought the previous version. The new ones are far more superior in style and sharper in quality. Shaped in horizontal, put together with impeccable smooth and calfskin leather, with removable shoulder strap inherited from the classic city bag. The padlock has one large space with an interior zip pocket crafted. Because it's unstructured, you never feel it's overstuffed.
For now, your new Balenciaga crave is only made in black and rouge, both with golden hardware. You can get it for €1.595 or $2,350 USD at Balenciaga. More classics, more choices, more fun.

Today, Senators Robert Menendez (D-NJ) and Patrick Leahy (D-VT) introduced the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2010. This legislation, which provides many urgently needed changes to our national immigration law, protects same-sex couples by incorporating the substance of the Uniting Americans Families Act (UAFA), which would grant U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents the right to sponsor their same-sex permanent partners to immigrate to the United States. UAFA has been introduced as a stand-alone bill in both the House and the Senate, and currently has 161 co-sponsors. The bill also incorporates the DREAM Act, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for young people who have lived their entire lives in the United States and who are currently subject to deportation.
Statement from Federal Policy Attorney Maya Rupert, Esq.:
"We support the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2010 and applaud its inclusion of protections for same-sex binational couples. For decades, U.S. immigration law has refused to provide any way for citizens and residents who are in a committed relationship with a same-sex partner from another country to stay together in the United States. This bill would bring the United States in line with the many other countries that recognize same-sex relationships for immigration purposes. We also applaud the inclusion of the DREAM Act, which provides critically needed relief against deportation for young people who have spent their entire lives in the United States. Both of these provisions are critical to repairing our current policy and establishing a humane immigration system that creates engaged and contributing citizens. We commend Senators Menendez and Leahy for introducing an immigration reform bill that is fully inclusive and comprehensive."

Final exams are approaching on college campuses around the world. Finals can be stressful, even for the most prepared students. Here are some tips to help you succeed:
Preparing for the Final
- Find out what your entire final exam schedule is so that you'll know how many finals you will have on each day.
- Prepare a written schedule for yourself indicating when you will study for each test. Leave some time in your schedule for exercise and relaxation, too.
- If the professor offers a study guide, use it.
- If the professor offers a review session for the exam, go to it.
- Know if the final is comprehensive (covering everything since the beginning of the semester or quarter).
- Find out what kind of exam it will be. You'd study differently for a multiple-choice (Scantron) final than an essay (blue book) one.
- If the final will be taken online, find out if you have to go to a specific computer lab on campus at a specific time, or if you'll be allowed to take the final on your own computer. Also find out how many chances you will have to take the final. Assume it's just one chance unless you hear differently from the professor.
- If you have your previous exams available, scour the exams for things that you think will be on the final. Flag your notes by highlighting or using Post-It notes.
- Don't pull an all-nighter. (Though some people are successful with studying all night and then taking a test with no sleep, I wouldn't recommend you try it for the first time on a final exam.)
- Calculate your grades in the class. Determine what score you will need to get the grade you're hoping for in the class. You may discover that you can't possibly get an A, no matter how well you do on the final, but to get a B, you only need to get a few questions right.
- If you're an auditory learner, record yourself reading your notes aloud, then play the recording back several times. (You can use the free online service Utterli for this; simply register with Utterli and then call your assigned phone number with your cell phone to start the recording.)
- If the exam is an open-book exam, this does not mean that you don't have to study at all. In fact, one of the most challenging exams I ever took as an undergrad was an open-book essay exam.
- ADDED ON NOV 22: Consider creating a detailed Final Exam Battle Plan.
On the Day of the Final
- Eat a meal and drink water.
- Don't overdo it with the caffeine.
- Know what to bring with you to the final. Do you need a blue book? A Scantron? (And if you need a Scantron, which kind do you need?) A pencil? A pen?
- Are food and drinks allowed in the classroom where your final will be? Sometimes, the rules are different for exam days than other days.
- Even if you don't usually wear a watch, take one with you to the final. It's unlikely you will be able to look at your cell phone during the final.
During the Final
- For a paper-based exam, read through the entire final exam before you start answering any questions at all. This way, you will know what you're facing.
- If the final is an online exam, find out if you can revisit questions, or if after you click past a question you cannot go back to it again.
- If you're using a Scantron and you skip a question to finish later, make sure you're answering your questions next to the correct answers. (When I took my GRE to get into grad school, I skipped a question on the first page of the booklet, but never skipped a number on the Scantron. When I realized it, I only had 10 minutes to go back and put the answers with the correct questions. Talk about stress!)
- Keep a close eye on the time you have allotted.
- Some students benefit from answering the most difficult questions first, while others do better completing all the easier ones. Do what works for you.
After the Final
- Do not share with other students what was on the final exam. In most universities, this is a violation of the honor code.
Now it's your turn: What final exam tips do you have to share? Please let us know through your comments below.

Paul Clarke about Atlantis: The Last Resort on CD-i
>> Sunday, July 31, 2011
It's a sad fact, but almost inevitable that the last wave of games on any console are technically superior and criminally overlooked as the next generation of hardware swings into view. Released in 1997 well after many considered CD-i commercially dead, 'Atlantis' proved the black box still had some life left in her. As a first person shooter it surprised many with fast paced action and a nifty 'CD Swap' feature allowing you to play any Music CD through the CD-i whilst hammering away at the game! Requiring little persuasion from Black Moon the chief programmer Paul Clarke describes his time raising Atlantis...
If you work in and around Philips and CD-i then you will uncover a lot of really fantastic people. Philips as a company, and an endeavour like CD-i in particular, attracts and gets the most out of great, talented, people. Johnny is a good example of that, though there are many, many others. Although I left Philips in '99 I still keep in touch with lots of Philips guys, though I had lost touch with the ADS boys. I meet up with the rest of the research group I worked in from Philips Research Labs, Redhill each year. There are lots of great CD-i tech-heads there, though they are working on other things now of course.
Soon after joining Philips Research I developed a Non-Intrusive Real-time Debugger (affectionately known as the NIRD, pronounced "Nerd"). This was a really cool piece of kit and software that allowed us to debug CD-i titles (mostly games) in real-time by snooping the expansion bus of the player and understanding what was going on. So for a while I worked researching the feasibility of doing this, then developing the hardware, on-board software, and PC host software to make the system fly. Then I got into refining it and using it at CD-i title developers in UK, Europe and US - helping high-profile titles get to the market on time. The NIRD became a product from Philips Media that they sold to development houses and used themselves. Through doing this work I got right into the detail of how CD-i worked and it's most intricate levels; for example knowing which memory areas operated fastest, how to make every bus cycle count, etc.
In our spare time, usually friday lunchtimes, we played games. This was considered okay as we were in the Interactive Systems Group of the labs, and understanding what people do in their homes and with what kit was really important. It also fitted with our research work around set-top boxes, digital video recorders, virtual reality user interfaces, artificial intelligence, etc. One of the games we played was of course Doom on the PC, though Philips also bought us each new console as it came out to play with.
I got into creating a few Doom levels with the public domain level editors, and the public specs of these allowed me write a utility to extract Doom graphics out of the WAD files. As a coder interested in putting together and refining game engines, the most frustrating thing is often the rubbish graphics that we can produce. By borrowing the Doom graphics I could make the demo 3D engine look cool too, and this ensured I got some attention from Philips Media. I also wrote a utility to allow me to use the public domain Doom level editors to lay out level designs for my engine, rather than have to write a level design tool. Simple hacked utilities like this meant that I could focus on the tricks I would need to do to get reasonable playable performance (15 - 25 fps) out of the engine, rather than work on graphics, sound or level designers like most game developers have to.
When Philips Media agreed to publish a game, I started working with the ADS boys. I could write a lot about this but Johnny has already said a lot. They were a good bunch of guys, really committed to the art of getting the best game play, graphics and performance possible out of CD-i. It was gut wrenching to see the team pulled apart as we learned that Atlantis would be the last game they produced.
Regarding the DOOM demos I put together, I need to be clear. I wrote my own 3D engine that had a number of tricks / compromises to allow it to run at over 15 fps to get playability right. I'll cover some of these below, but it meant that actually, in terms of game comparison, the Atlantis 3D engine was weaker than ID's Doom predecessor Wolfenstein (ie there is no height element, no stairs, no lifts, etc, just a flat world). At that time the Doom code wasn't public domain, and we would never have been able to get it running fast enough if it had been, so to be clear Doom never ran on CD-i. What we did have was a custom 3D engine allowing you to run around a world filled with Doom graphics, wall textures, yes the baddies, and status bar. That's what Johnny meant. It allowed me to concentrate on the code and produce demo's which looked cool. Years later, when the Doom code was made publically available by Id, we did port it to some experimental Set Top Boxes, and that was really cool. Doom on a big TV with descent speakers was just great.
When we were deciding what to do with my 3D engine, I did discuss with Dave Mac (mentioned by Johnny) about talking to Id about a Wolf3D port. However, we put gameplay first and this meant a number of tricks (yes I'm coming to them) that meant it wouldn't have worked. I did produce a demo of my engine with Wolf3D graphics to illustrate the point but we didn't take it further.
3D Engine: The 3D engine itself is a fairly standard "ray caster" that effectively uses a map data structure as a data source together with the players position and orientation, and produces a data structure across the width of the screen showing for each "column" of the screen the distance to the wall (which drives the height of the wall to render), the texture ID (which directs you to the correct texture bitmap tile to render) and the texture column (which is the vertical slice of the texture tile to render). Yes, it was written in C, optimised to hell, and had assembler inserts in a couple of places. The NIRD was used to validate that every cycle was optimised - but fortunately the C compiler for CD-i used together with the right types of variables (to drive 16-bit or 32-bit data access) produced tight code.
Attack of the N.I.R.D: The ADS team paid tribute to the power of N.I.R.D in this touching credit screen from Arcade Classics. The definition of N.I.R.D is Non-Intrusive Real-time Debugger! Rendering and tricks: This is the area which makes or breaks a game, and where the vast majority of CPU time is spent. The key reason why you can't just port Wolf3D or Doom to CD-i is that the 68070 processor on the CD-i player just can't write full screens made of textures and sprites to the screen fast enough due to simple math around the processor and the amount of video memory required to be accessed, read (textures) and written (video).
Version 1 of the rendering engine worked at about 1 fps, which is clearly unusable. Through experimentation and optimisation I ended up with a solution that gave playable game play above 15fps. To do this we used the two video planes of CD-i. The background plane is used to display the wall textures, plus ceiling, plus floor. We used the power of the CD-i hardware to mirror the ceiling with the floor around the mid-point of the screen. So, you only write the top half of the screen, and the CD-i hardware mirrors it down onto the bottom half of the screen. That means that you are now only rendering half the amount of video memory which takes half the time. We also ran that video plane at half resolution (again assisted by CD-i hardware). So actually, we were rendering just quarter the height of a full video screen, and half the width. The pixel doubling took it back to half height and full width, and the mirroring made it full height and full width.
On levels where we had horizon detail (such as the first level with the monuments in the background), and on others where we graduated the floor or ceiling to give the illusion of light, we changed the palette on a line by line basis, which is something that the CD-i system does in hardware for free from a CPU perspective. The foreground video plane was used for sprites, status bar, etc and ran at full resolution to ensure the baddies, bullets, etc, were as high quality as possible. Optimised renderers were written in assembly code for both background and foreground to get the speed up.
I believe it is these tricks using the video hardware such as pixel doubling, mirroring, palette changing, and transparency between planes that Dave Mac was alluding to in the magazine. They cost no CPU power at all once set up at the start of the level, and reduce the amount of time the CPU needs to spend rendering per frame. However, as the walls are mirrored top to bottom, we could not do games like Wolf3D. The demo we did produced predictably odd swastika's and Hitler wall tiles. Fun, but wasn't going to go anywhere.
Memory: Different memory banks work at different speeds, and in particular the expansion memory on the DV cartridge ran faster than the rest of the memory. We used this carefully for certain things, such as rendering code (run often) and textures (read often during rendering). Monster AI: I wrote a language (Sprite Behaviour Language, or SBL) to express monster AI in, and a compiler to convert it to optimal machine code. This allowed us to express actions as keywords that were easy to read such as look, shoot, move, etc and get a richness of AI.
Sound: A great guy called Chris Thorne wrote all the music and did all the sound FX. I was part of his interview process that brought him and other designers into Philips as we sought to break ground in design around all sorts of home-based technology. You should track him down as he is an interesting guy. We had good video and audio studios at Philips Research and Chris augmented this with additional kit and software that gave him what he needed. There was talk of an audio CD to accompany Atlantis (as with Burn:Cycle [which was debugged with the NIRD]), but it was decided not to follow through with this. Chris did produce a demo, and it was fantastic, but it never got released. I have a copy, but don't see how I can share due to copyright reasons. Shame, it is really really cool.
Cyber-chute bonus levels: While on holiday in Cyprus, in the middle of game production, I was lying in the sun wondering how to improve the game. All of the levels have orthogonal walls, but the rendering engine itself could render curved walls as all it needed to blit the screen was a data structure of wall texture IDs, distance (to scale the wall), and column number of the texture. Whilst CD-I couldn't work out these details for a curved world in real-time it struck me that there might be a way of doing this offline for bonus levels. I might have been a bit of a spod then, but even I didn't take a calculator on holiday. So, in long-hand and a touristy notebook I worked out in long-hand a way to do the bonus chute drops between level themes. Basically I found a way of cramming the "view" of a drop chute at so many positions across it (can't remember how many) in a real-time stream of data from the CD at so many fps. So, the CD-I can stream 75 2k sectors per second from the CD. Effectively it streamed off all the data the renderer needed to know for so many positions across a drop chute in real-time. You then know the user's position across the width of the cute, and constrain how this position can move per frame, and you have the means to have an interesting segway level. With my notes in hand I hacked some data and wrote the renderer the day after my leave. I had a clever student working with me (Jain Shah) and got him to write a PC tool to do all the offline tool work to build the real levels and associated data structures, and the scheme worked really well. It works a bit like the really old chute drop games. You're moving inexorably downwards through a complex shape and have to miss bumping into the walls to gain max points.
The experience: Working on RamRaid (the online version) and the Atlantis were some of the most enjoyable work days of my life. With little design brief the creativity in the team ran free. The ADS guys were crazy guys committed to the art of game design and game play. Paul Reid, mentioned in Johnny's interview, was a great guy absolutely committed to the team. Andy Morton and Tom Drummond were very odd but amazing game guru's who were kind enough to accept me into their world. Johnny was amazing, and brought my 3D world on CD-i to life. Fire up your CD-i player, and just look at the graphics that he produced, and enjoy the DV clips that we did with Rak. In particular, look at Johnny's sprites, and savour their animation frames, especially their death sequences. Every frame is a joy.
In another parallel universe the investment in CD-i and its successors continues and ADS is thriving, with the lads and myself happily hacking things to blow peoples minds, give them a thrill, and make the more technical wonder how we do that.
Many thanks to Paul Clarke for his statement & With KUDOS to Johnny Wood for the fantastic artwork submissions. This is part of The Black Moon Project

Family-run businesses face a big problem: Who will run their enterprises in the future?
Leadership succession is not a one-time exercise but a continuous strategic direction.
Companies in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) provide a large-scale example of a problem that plays out in all kinds of family-led businesses worldwide. Family-run enterprises constitute 75% of the private-sector economy and employ 70% of the labor force in the region. Over the past 30 years, as the GCC has risen to prominence on the economic stage, many of these family-run businesses have progressed from small-scale trading operations to international conglomerates spanning the globe. This evolution now poses a challenge. When first- and second-generation leaders of these companies reach the end of their tenures, family enterprises must select future leaders and equip them for success.
The problems of leadership selection and development are far different for a family enterprise than they are for a typical corporation. Family-run enterprises face unique challenges balancing traditional family succession planning and what's best for the future of the company. Decision rights tend to be complicated with blurred lines between family authority and business governance. Further, a lack of planning can exacerbate a lack of objectivity.
Because of this balancing act, family businesses may neglect formal succession-planning processes and leadership development, resulting in poor decision making. Leadership succession is not a one-time exercise but a continuous strategic direction that the highest levels of the organization must assess, tailor, and revisit constantly over a significant period.
Hone in on strengths and performance
Understanding the strengths of the current leadership talent bench in a company and the current environment for developing those leaders is key to ensuring a smooth leadership transition. Regardless of heritage, senior leaders should be able to identify and understand potential successors' innate talents and use this understanding to develop them with an end goal in mind.
Businesses can also hold potential successors accountable on key performance metrics. By coupling companies' existing performance metrics -- such as growth, profit, revenue, customer engagement/retention, and employee engagement -- with measurement tools focused on leadership talent, current leaders can much more accurately predict how a candidate will perform. These insights allow organizations to develop each leader in a way that is specific to existing skills and gaps, creating a clear expectation of when these leaders may be ready to take the reins.
Leadership development also offers organizations the opportunity to reflect on the environment they are offering future leaders. Companies must consider whether they are setting the correct expectations and path to develop and grow new leaders, ultimately providing an environment for success.
Leadership talent can pay dividends
Despite challenges, family enterprises have a unique opportunity to evolve and grow. And they have an expanding pool of potential leaders to choose from. For instance, a company founded in the 1950s by an individual and managed in ensuing decades by several of that individual's children may now have a dozen or more contending third-generation successors.
Family businesses need to view leadership talent as a corporate asset -- one that must be managed as diligently as cash flow, inventory, or intellectual property. Now more than ever, family businesses need an objective, structured, and quantifiable way to identify and nurture leadership talent.
Considering every family member's role is a key strategy for success. It is essential for family members to have opportunities, including the right education to thrive in a modern business environment and the right exposure in the organization. Implementing a plan in which family members start gaining credibility in the business and work with a mentor to progress quickly through the hierarchy to a senior position will lead to success.
With a constantly evolving financial climate, family enterprises are still the backbone of the GCC economy. With careful planning, these valuable organizations can continue to drive economic growth and set the standard for corporate leadership and development -- in the GCC and beyond.

It was a win-win situation at the box office, with "Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs" raking in record international box office for an animated pic, while "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" became the year's domestic B.O. champ.
Opening on Wednesday to get the jump on the holiday weekend, 20th Century Fox's "Ice Age 3" won the five-day sesh with $67.5 million; the "Transformers" sequel took $65 million. The 3-D dinosaurs trampled the world's box office, with the biggest opening ever for an animated film at $148 million. Worldwide total stands at $215.5 million.
For the three-day weekend sesh, "Ice Age" and "Transformers" raced to a rare tie, with $42.5 million. (The victor will likely be decided when the final numbers come in this ayem.)
"Revenge of the Fallen" lit up the holiday box office frame by becoming the highest-grossing pic of the year, with a domestic cume of $293.5 million in its 12th day in release. The only film to have amassed a higher gross in such a short time is "The Dark Knight." Worldwide tally for "Transformers 2" is a massive $591 million.
Universal's Johnny Depp gangster pic "Public Enemies," which also opened Wednesday, served as solid counterprogramming to the two tentpoles. Period piece, directed by Michael Mann, grossed $41 million in its first five days at the domestic B.O. and $5.3 million from five territories overseas, bringing worldwide cume to $46.3 million.
Distribs and exhibs were expecting a slow holiday Saturday, but the drop was even bigger than expected at 30% or more.
Yet the weekend was still up over the same domestic frame last year as there was something for everyone on the marquee. There had been concern that "Dawn of the Dinosaurs" and "Public Enemies" might get lost in the shadow of "Revenge of the Fallen," but both came in on the upper end of expectations.
The third "Ice Age" pic's five-day domestic debut of $67.5 million nearly matched the $68 million opening of the previous installment, "Ice Age: The Meltdown."
Fox took a calculated risk in opening the threequel in summer. The first two films debuted in March, when there is far less competition, but the third is benefiting from summer vacation.
"Dawn of the Dinosaurs," opening on 11,652 screens in 101 markets, saw the sixth best international opening of all time behind ("Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End" tops the list).
"Ice Age 3" likely took a bite out of "Transformers 2" internationally, although the latter still pulled in $55 million for the sesh.
Fox co-prexies of international distribution Paul Hanneman and Tomas Jegeus said "Ice Age 3" played incredibly broadly, fueled by a massive international marketing campaign that included numerous promotion partners.
"We had a great date, and we think we will keep playing and playing. The 'Ice Age' franchise has become an institution, and we powered through any disadvantages we had, such as weather," Hanneman said.
The film scored the biggest international opening ever in numerous territories, led by Russia at $18.9 million, Brazil at $10.3 million and Mexico at $10 million. Other countries included Austria, Chile, Peru and Colombia. In Mexico, the opening was 100% ahead of the "Transformers 2" debut and 81% ahead of "Dark Knight."
"Dawn of the Dinosaurs" broke the record for the biggest animated opening in several individual territories as well, including France at $11.1 million.
"Ice Age 3's" worldwide gross was boosted by its 3-D runs, which repped the widest opening to date for a 3-D title, both domestically and abroad. In the U.S. toon played on 1,606 3-D screens. Overseas, the 2,126 3-D screens grossed a combined $51 million, repping 34% of the entire gross, even though the screens comprised only 18% of the entire run.
Fox VP of domestic distribution Bert Livingston said the studio was elated with the overall result.
"I think we are in rarefied air. To be in a virtual tie for the weekend with one of the biggest event films ever is a great start," Livingston said.
"Ice Age 3" represents a sizable victory for Fox Animation topper Vanessa Morrison.
Meanwhile, Universal was pleased with "Public Enemies," which overcame concerns that a more serious drama wouldn't play in summer.
"Everyone questioned whether this film would do good business. It turned out to be a great holiday weekend for fans of adult titles," said U prexy of worldwide marketing and distribution Adam Fogelson.
The "Public Enemies" opening, the best ever for Mann, is a testament to Depp's appeal, proving he can open a pic even when not dressed as a pirate.
Among holdovers, Disney's romantic comedy "The Proposal" ended the weekend with an impressive worldwide gross of $123.7 million. Coming in No. 4 domestically, pic dipped just 31% to an estimated $12.8 million from 3,099 runs; cume is $94.2 million. Overseas, the Sandra Bullock-Ryan Reynolds starrer grossed $4.2 million from 1,753 runs in 15 territories for a cume of $29.5 million.
Warner Bros.' "The Hangover" jumped the $200 million mark domestically, grossing an estimated $10.5 million from 3,070 theaters for a cume of $204.2 million. Overseas, film grossed $8.7 million from 1,975 screens in 30 markets for a cume of $61.5 million and worldwide tally of $265.7 million. That's within earshot of the global take for "Wedding Crashers" at $285.2 million.
At the specialty box office, Summit Entertainment's "The Hurt Locker" secured the best per-location average of any film. The Kathryn Bigelow-directed war drama grossed an estimated $126,000 from nine locations for a per-screen average of $14,000 and cume of $365,000 in its second sesh. Its holding power will be tested when it expands into smaller markets.
Focus Features' "Away We Go," from Sam Mendes, ended its fifth sesh with an impressive cume of $6.1 million after posting a weekend gross of $1.1 million from 506 locations.
Sony Pictures Classics' sci-fi drama "Moon" grossed $300,485 in its fourth weekend from 47 locations, raising its per-screen average to $6,393 with a cume of $982,527.
Sony Classics' Woody Allen pic "Whatever Works" grossed $1.1 million from 355 locations for the weekend, putting its cume at $2 million in its third frame — an improvement on Allen's "Cassandra's Dream" last year.
Miramax's "Cheri," directed by Stephen Frears, failed to catch on in its second sesh, with an estimated $388,000 from 140 locations and cume of $1 million. Magnolia's had more success with docu "Food, Inc.," which grossed $240,000 from 83 screens for a $1.28 million cume.
Among openers, Magnolia's "The Girl From Monaco" grossed $90,000 from 21 theaters for a per-location average of $4,286.
