I am Dale and work at a state EPA (Ohio) doing water quality analysis. My work centers on TMDLs, models, and WQ standards. I completed a MS in env engr from Ohio State in Jun'09 (no BS in engr) in my mid-career. I completed BS/MS/PhD in physical geog from Penn State in the 80's - but always wanted to be an engineer!
Passed my FE in Apr'10 and plan to take the PE in Apr'11. Glad you have this forum - I appreciate the knowledge shared. I hope I can help the cause, too.

I do some of the same things you do, but in a much smaller place that allows me to do a lot more, but at the same time know it all in a lot less detail. I just recently finished writing our "state" 305b & 303d integrated water quality assessment report, and am scheduled to run our WQ standards through the triennial review process later this year. Ugh. On top of a dozen other unrelated things.

I am planning to take my F.E in Environmental Engineering from GA in April and will hopefully take the PE in October (if I pass the FE in April of course ). I am looking for any used Books/DVDs/Study Materials that you may have for both PE as well as FE exams in Environmental Engineering. Again I will also appreciate any recommendations.
Thank you and waiting to hear from you.

Are the DVD's that are mentioned around the forums really worth it? They are a bigger expence and well if they help they would be well worth it but looking for other's opinions.
Posted 06 May 2011 - 08:32 PM
Which series are you looking into? There are mixed reviews on some of the DVDs/review courses out there.

BS Interdisciplinary Studies: Biology, Geography, Philosophy (from UMBC)
MS Environmental Engineering & Science (from Johns Hopkins)
6-7 years of environmental science experience. Started out in Land-development & permitting for storm-water management, mostly as a GIS analyst/intern. Later got into the asbestos/lead/indoor-air quality business, with some sub-surface site-characterization & construction inspection/management in there. Now I mainly do site characterization and remediation (aquifer air-sparge, soil-vapor extraction, in-situ bio-enhancement etc...).
Passed my FE in April 2011.
I work in Alexandria VA and live in MD. I hope to qualify to sit for the NCEES P&P exam next year (I'm taking it easy). MD is pretty strict for us non-ABET undergraduate degree holders. I really hate the experience part of the application because of all of my jumping around companies in the enviro/health&safety-business has made it complicated.
Fortunately, my experience makes a lot of the hazardous waste, Heath and Safety, and sampling questions that a lot of colleagues here have trouble with, intuitive for me. Although I love solving "fluids" problems, it never seems to apply to what I do. The calcs for remediation designs are so loosy goosy, you kinda size and round up to the closest available skiff mounted modules, like a S, M, L, & XL. And maybe you tweak the PLC and valves to push and suck air into the ground at a psi of 3-9. Would love to get deeper into this, but would also like to get into water/wastewater treatment as well.
Look forward to contributing.

I just submitted my application to NY for the April 2012 exam. Fingers crossed it's accepted, because I know a lot of coworkers who were denied on their first try.
Good luck to everyone taking the exam on Friday. Oh, and if any of you pass and have reference materials you want to sell, let me know!

I like the UV and NC videos and course notes so much, I am going to sell the videos but I will make a copy of the course notes for future reference as I found them very useful. Though expensive new, I was able to purchase them both used for a slightly reduce cost and I'm glad because they compliment each other well. Passing the first time is worth a little extra cost for me...
Best of Luck!

I've been putting off writing my application for a long time, but this week I finally forced myself to sit down and get it done. In fact, I literally just finished stuffing it into envelopes and it will go in the mail tomorrow. What a relief!
Anyway, I've poked around here a tiny bit, and I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all the great info. I'm not sure If I'll take the exam in October or next April, but I'm going to start reading more and getting my references ready.
Thanks again!

Shooting for taking the Environmental PE in the Fall of 2013. Currently overseas with DOD and look to test in Korea. Will probably register with Oregon as others here have done the same and it has worked out as a Special Accomodations testing site. Not sure what other States I could also register with instead of OR if another State is "better" to get a PE within. No set Home State so no preference. Been out of school for more than 20 years (BS ME and ME EnvE), passed the EIT way back then. Have not taken the PE yet, many reason why not....need to check that block now though. Been searching the EB and it loks to be very informative. Scratching my head if I should go through an online course or not; like the ability to have help focus since its been so long from school. Been working the Env field for almost 20 years in many areas so have a good foundation. Any guidance is much appreciated. Good luck to everyone and Happy New Year, Hopefulyl this wil be Year of the PE!

V is for Voice and Vulnerability (Or What I Learned in Acting Class)
About a year ago I took an acting class. Not only was it life-changing, but I learned quite a bit that applies directly to good writing. One of those things was what good, natural voice feels like. I learned that better in that class then I have anywhere else.
When I thought too much and over-prepared; when I thought 'Alright everyone, now I shall ACT'; those were the times the teacher would stop and correct me. Tell me to be more natural. When I just stood up there and said my piece, that was when I was told I had done right, and complimented. The thing is, after the good times, I would sit down and feel like I had done absolutely nothing. I would feel slightly exposed, but not like I had just given a performance, and definitely not like I had been 'Acting.' I felt like I had not given enough, or been self-concious or thoughtful enough, until I realized and was told that was how it was supposed to feel. What I learned about voice is this: when you feel you've done the least is when you've done the most.
Here's why I think it works this way: because when you are most yourself, most natural and vulnerable, you don't feel like you are "performing" or creating anything artistic or spectacular. You just feel like you're being you. EXACTLY. I still worry that me being me will be dull, too wacky, or incomprehensible to someone else, but thats what readers and editors are for. They'll help you know where to make changes, but 95% of the time, you will be pleasantly surprised at how unique, wonderful and appreciated you are when you're you. Seriously. You're used to being in your head, but no one else is. Let them. You don't have to say, 'Ok everyone, now I shall WRITE!'. Just write. The more vulnerable you are, the more people will relate to you, which is the point of all art. (see Empathy). It will be uncomfortable, especially at first, but it is worth it.

Very wise words. I think the reason is that all good writing - or acting - is about finding the quiet truth behind the words. But sometimes, the quiet truth is the hardest to achieve because it involves real honesty.

That's an excellent comparison. I agree totally with how you described voice here. The thing authors need to keep in mind is that we can't hear our own voice in our writing. We're too used to it because it's the lens through which we always view the world. We think our voice sounds "normal" or "boring". But to people who aren't us, it is unique and different. We need to just write from our creative brain and trust that our voice is there.

- Beverly Diehl said...
Clapping! Yes, we can overanalyze and get so uptight the words get all blocked up, when if we just let them flow, generally the voice finds itself.

That was a truly great post. There are even times during this blog challenge when I've felt that way - like I had to conform my posts in some way - keep them short so people would stay to read - stuff like that. I feel like my blog should be what I want to say, the way I want to say it, and when I did that, I sometimes got fewer readers, but those that did stay to read really connected. That means more to me. So great lesson, and well put.

I stopped by for a visit after receiving your comment on my blog,and wow! I believe this post was written just for me. I've wanted to write a book for as long as I can remember. I keep looking up and days, weeks, months, years keep passing by. I think too much. Before putting one work on paper I'm already analyzing my "audience", trying to figure out what they want to hear and not thinking enough about what I have to say, what I want to write. Just recently, in the middle of the night I wrote these words by book lamp, "This book is dedicated to me. It will be like my own coming out party." Your post confirms.
Thank you for this great and timely post. Best wishes on your writing! - April 26, 2011 at 8:28 PM

Wise words. I think that in many of our endeavors we have to put on the right hat for the job, metaphorically speaking.
On another note, I never had any desire to act or to do anything with acting when I was growing up, but in recent years, probably as I have begun to develop as a writer and to express myself, I have a feeling that I would rather enjoy it. - May 1, 2011 at 3:47 AM

INDIANAPOLIS -- Now that officials at the NFL Scouting Combine have decided not to use internationally accepted automated timing method in the 40-yard runs this year, the results announced will be the same as ever -- mixed.
Although the times are often referenced as official when released by NFL.com or NFL Network, historically they have really been a mix, with announced times reflecting any one of the six diffferent results each player has.
"We get all six of the results they publish for us at the combine, but like most teams we have our own way of determining what time we use," Washington Redskins general manager Bruce Allen told The Sports Xchange.
Allen explained that there is no such thing as a single, official time as far as teams are concerned. He said some teams use the best time, some use an average and others go with one of the two electronic times. Allen says the times are good reference, but for consistency he prefers yet another method.
"Our own scouts time each run and we go with our own results," Allen said.
Since 1990, combine 40-yard times have included two manual timings and one that was determined by a manual start and an electronic beam at the finish. In those cases, all starts were determined by the player's first motion. Before 1990, all times were entirely manual.
Last year fully automated timing was used as a test at the Combine, but results were only seen by a small committee and The Sports Xchange learned that the fully automated method, known as FAT, is not being used this year.
Here is what happens to get the 40 times at the combine that are revealed:
--Those who participate in the 40 run twice, and on each run they are timed by two hand-held stopwatches and one electronic timer (initiated by hand on the player's first movement).
--Combine data put together for NFL teams includes all six of those times for each player, but no single official time.

As we will all appreciate first aid is one of the skills we must master to become bushcrafters. I was wondering if there was any possibility of anyone in BCUK who was a first aid instructor to run a first aid course at a reduced rate to members.
Any other ideas would be most welcome.

Teaching 4.0 - Graphic Expression in Construction OCW
The concept Teaching 4.0 is the result of uniting the use of participatory networks, online tools and digital content available in the Internet, and adding educational material generated by teachers in traditional media (offline) and using ICTs (online).
The Universitat de les Illes Balears (Spain) is a pioneer in the implementation of this 4.0 concept, where professor Antonio Fernández-Coca combines face-to-face teaching, following the traditional parameters, with the external support of relationship marketing and ICT tools (such as online videos and social networks) to produce specific content aiming to support teaching in an open and shareable way.
The Teaching 4.0 website developed by professor Fernández-Coca shares the learning and teaching materials produced under a Creative Commons licence for the subject Graphic Expression in Construction, part of the UIB's Construction Engineering degree curriculum.
Teaching 4.0 is the winner of the Universia Open Course Ware 2012 contest, organised by the Spanish Ministry of Education, Culture and Sports and Universia.

The ICELW program cover a variety of topics relating to e-learning in the workplace and the use of technology to improve job performance, in the form of demonstrations, mini-seminars, case studies, interviews, debates, presentations, and panel discussions.
MOOCs are More Social than You Believe
We report about two ongoing studies, which challenge the individualistic model of MOOC based learning. MOOC usage is embedded in the context of collocated study groups.
The ability to pause a lecture and discuss its contents with peers creates learning opportunities. Learning by explaining has been proved effective through many empirical studies. We investigate the best way to configure these study groups with different tools.

Don't look: Diamondbacks particulars you don't want to read
Originally published: Apr 13, 2012 - 11:11 am
Such neglect on my part is, admittedly, foolish. But I do the same thing when it comes to my fandom. Don't tell me how many knee surgeries Chipper Jones has had. What Michael Bourn slump? Speed never slumps. I don't care how old Livan Hernandez is. Don't you dare show me his birth certificate.
(Yes -- I'm a Braves fan. Yes -- I write about the Diamondbacks. Sue me.)
Such has been a lifelong pattern. My optimism gives way to unrealistic expectations, which ultimately cause disappointment.
Maybe you have a similar plight. If so, I have good news and I have bad news. The good news: the following is intended to help you kick that horribly unhealthy habit called positivity. The bad news: you may not like what you see.
There's your fair warning. Onward...
The D-backs have won both of their first two division series. They're 5-1 and look like last year's D-backs. But please be careful with yourself.
� The two teams they have played -- the Giants and the Padres -- had the two worst offenses in the National League last season.
� In six games, the D-backs have a +6 run differential. They've won three games by one run and two by two runs. Call it grit. That's fine. Just fear that it may be a lack of dominance.
� Their best pitching outing -- a no-run, four-hit, seven-inning effort that was spoiled -- came from their fifth starter, Joe Saunders.
� Cory Luebke, who gave up six runs to the Dodgers in his first start of the season, held the D-backs to one run on four hits on Wednesday afternoon.
� Justin Upton has two hits on the season. Ryan Roberts and Paul Goldschmidt both have three.
� The middle of the D-backs rotation -- Daniel Hudson, Josh Collmenter and Trevor Cahill -- hasn't looked good. And that's who we'll see this weekend at hitter- friendly Coors Field, as the D-backs face the Rockies
� David Hernandez already has 1/3 of his loss total from last season, and he's given up 1/4 of the home runs he allowed last season.
On the bright side, the D-backs' bats are sure to break out in Denver, at least in part.
Chris Young and Willie Bloomquist have been sensational. Young is batting .364 with an elephantine 1.349 on-base- plus-slugging percentage and three [big] home runs. Bloomquist also has a .364 batting average, while scoring a team-best five runs (one for every game he's played in), with two stolen bases.
Ian Kennedy was dominant Thursday night and Jason Kubel got his key RBI.
Everyone in the bullpen has not only seen the mound, but looked solid. Closer JJ Putz already has four saves and five strikeouts.
I don't intend to alarm. And I'm not trying to be negative. I just know that panorama is valuable and, the fact of the matter is, Livan Hernandez is 37 years old, Michael Bourn is 3-for-24 with one stolen base, and Chipper Jones just had his sixth knee surgery. And let's not talk about my checking account... I haven't looked at it in a while.
- Didi Gregorius, D-backs' shortstop - Friday May 24Doug & Wolf get to know the D-backs' shortstop.
- Daniel Hudson, D-backs' pitcher - Friday May 24Doug & Wolf ask Huddy how he's feeling, how his rehab is going and is he regaining control of his pi
- Josh Collmenter, D-backs' pitcher - Friday May 24The D-backs' pitcher sat down with Doug & Wolf at Chase Field.

I use this apron in the kitchen and bbqing as well. Threw it in the washer and dryer and did not shrink or fade. Longer ties would have been nice. Swell.
Now I feel like I look the part and my Other Half is happy that my cloths don't get as grubby as they used to :)
It's certainly saved my shirts more than once, including a recent incident with a buffer and some polishing wax...Only thing is I'd like to see, as was mentioned below, is a longer waist tie and another pocket.
I love all my Stewmac products, except for this Apron which needs a redesign. Straps need to be wider. Neck strap has no adjustment. Waist strap needs to be much, much, much longer. Pockets!!!!! Just the one??? Shame on you Stewmac for shortchanging us this way. Aprons need multiple pockets. A left and a right AND a middle pocket, also a shallow breast pocket for pencils that have been sharpened more than once.
Phil, We are sorry you are disapointed with this item. Thanks for your honesty, we'll consider your suggestions. Your satisfaction with StewMac products is guaranteed, so you may return the apron for a full refund if you wish.
I was tired of changing clothes after leaving the shop - and now I don't have to. This apron does a good job at keeping my clothing and jeans clean while working on guitar projects. Wash it a few times if it's a little stiff.
Its an apron. It works. Wish it was longer.
A good apron well made that should wear well. Ditto to what that other guy said about a second pocket. You can use a waiter's apron or a MacDonalds apron to fix guitars but when you put on a StewMac apron; it says a lot about you. Wear it with pride!
It certainly does the job. If it were available in a heavier material or in leather I would go for that.
This is a great apron, but one suggestion I would have is adding another pocket on the left side, just so you can have more, or larger items on you, not on your bench
I recently purchased the shop apron and it is such a big help in protecting my clothes from the sawdust and other debris I come in contact with working on my guitars. A first class product,I use it all the time when I work now. Bravo!

I tried to make some azuki bean paste-filled buns the other day, and while the steamed bread turned out great, the azuki bean paste was...just okay. I followed a recipe I found online. I was wondering if you had a recipe for the paste? I would buy it pre-made, but I had a hard time finding azuki beans in my town, let alone premade azuki bean paste.
Onegai shimasu!
Onaka ga suiteiru!
Sure - here's my recipe for tsubuan (the chunky kind of azuki an).
The Big Onigiri.
- Wherever you go, there you are. -
Thanks, this recipe looks great! Oh, and I agree that it should always be spelled azuki. The package I bought said adzuki and I was like "grr, that's not how you spell it." No consonant sound can follow another consonant sound in Japanese, except for n. I mean, I'm sure you know that though.
Yes, but since all romaji is phonetic, it's spelled that way to show the emphasis on the hard Z sound. It's just the pronunciation difference, like sometime m and n are switched about in translation when they use the ん (n) sound. Also don't forget つ (tsu)!
I only just recently found a natural foods store that sells not only the proper beans, but bonito and mochi! :D There's so many recipes that opened up to me that I want to try, including this one.

The Drowsy Chaperone (Don Ward)
Updated: 05/20/2013 - Two weekends left to catch one great show!
Negotiators have been talking through a 4-inch-wide ventilation pipe to a man holding a 5-year-old boy hostage in an underground shelter in rural Alabama.
The standoff entered its second full day Thursday after authorities said a gunman pulled the boy off a school bus and killed the driver Tuesday.
The police chief of the adjacent town of Pinckard, James Arrington, says that the two are in a bunker that's about 4 feet underground and has about 6-by-8 feet of floor space.
He says the man identified by neighbors as Jimmy Lee Dykes has been sleeping some.
The chief also says the man holds strong anti-government views and the FBI has reason to believe the shooting of the driver was a hate crime.

State's Indian casinos' outlook positive after revenue gain
Published: Wednesday, February 27, 2013 at 3:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 26, 2013 at 7:14 p.m.
After three straight years of decline, California's Indian casinos are once again showing increased revenues, reflecting an improved economy, according to a new study.
The state's 68 tribal casinos registered a nearly 2 percent increase in revenues, from approximately $6.8 billion in 2010, to $6.9 billion in 2011, according to the latest figures, released today (Wednesday)in an annual survey of the industry.
That is still less than the record $7.8 billion for 2007, prior to the recession. But analysts are predicting continued growth, exceeding the previous high.
"I have a positive outlook it will. I can't say how many years it will take," said Alan Meister, an economist with Nathan Associates and author of Casino City's Indian Gaming Industry Report.
In Sonoma County, the Las Vegas-style gambling offered by Indian tribes will go to whole new level with the large casino set to open late this year, next to Rohnert Park.
The 3,000-slot, 320,000-square-foot facility under construction by the Federated Indians of Graton Rancheria is expected to rake in $418 million in gambling revenue by its seventh year, according to projections in the state-tribal compact.
That's more than triple the $124 million revenue last reported in 2010 by River Rock, the only other Indian casino in Sonoma County.
The competition means both casinos will need to serve customers well and perhaps loosen up their slots, according to William Thompson, a gambling expert who teaches at University of Nevada in Las Vegas.
"Have great customer service," was the advice he offered Tuesday. "You have to have nice service and a nice place. You have to be very friendly, because the people coming in will have other places to compare."
He said the Rohnert Park casino, as well as River Rock near Geyserville, should consider matching the Las Vegas payout rate of 95 percent, meaning for every dollar the player wagers, 95 cents is paid out.
"They (gamblers) will give all the money to a casino, but they will have longer play time and feel better about the experience," he said.
Meister's report shows Indian casinos across the country rebounding, despite a sluggish economy. With some gains in gross domestic product, per capita disposable personal income and employment nationwide, Indian gambling revenue grew a little over 3 percent, to approximately $27.4 billion in 2011.
That almost matched the amount generated at commercial casinos.
Non-Indian casinos in 15 states also showed improved revenues in 2011, at almost 2 percent, for a total of $28.4 billion, according to the report.
But tribes have steadily gobbled up more of the casino market over the past decade. More than 240 Native American tribes operate over 341,000 machines and 7,700 table games in 460 casinos across 28 states, according to Meister.
California is the largest state in terms of Indian gambling revenues, just over 25 percent of the nationwide total.
Meister said that based on cumulative post-recession performance and anecdotal evidence from 2012, the short-term to mid-term future for Indian casinos looks good.
Gamblers will spend more as the economy improves. Tribes are remodelling, upgrading and expanding their facilities, according to his Indian Gaming Industry Report.
On the North Coast, the Habematolel Pomo of Upper Lake opened the Running Creek casino in May 2012. With 349 slots, it's Lake County's fourth casino.
There are six Indian casinos in Mendocino County.
The Cloverdale Band of Pomo Indians has resubmitted a land-into-trust application for a casino with up to 2,000 slots, which could be the third for Sonoma County.
The only other Indian casino in the Bay Area is in San Pablo, operated by the Santa Rosa-based Lytton Band of Pomo who own more than 1,100 "bingo" machines that resemble slots. The casino's been estimated to gross $182 million annually, according to an employee union.

Inside the Game: Mounted Combat discussion

Looks like it's going to be awesome. Can't wait to start tanking from horseback ^^.
Jul 03 2012 01:53 PM #3
I'm glad that you finally decide to show the main new feature of the next expansion.
But I expected much more of this video. Something like actual combat gameplay.
Instead, you use smallest 4:3 monitor you could probably get out of the accounting department, set the game to run in a window and make a camera focus on it from 2 meters away.
And instead of seeing a Guardian using his skills to lure enemy riders to himself, or a minstrel actually healing, or a captain doing anything meaninful, the camera zooms into the image for showing the player just riding around or healing himself, and whenever some close combat seems to be about to happen, you zoom out again to make it impossible to distinguish anything.
So far I was looking forward to the new mounted combat. But this video tells me that you are afraid to show what you actually have.
Jul 03 2012 01:55 PM #4
You are a sassy elf.
Jul 03 2012 01:56 PM #5
I see quickslots switch when you get dismounted. And that mounted combat seems to involve similiar to Champion style Fervour pip use. Other than that there wasn't a whole lot of detail to the video. It'd have been nice to see some longer period shots from the screen where we see some fighting and use of actual class based skills.
Jul 03 2012 01:56 PM #6
Some stuff I found interesting:
Horse has a dying animation
Uruks on horseback
Some sort of energy bar for the mount, using skills empties it
Larger Morale pool for mount(was ~2500 in video)
Horse has a Power bar
Skills seem to be 'set' for the next clash, noting the 'cancel skill' button.
Gonna be rewatching this a lot to see what else I can find.
Liking these sneak peek videos by the way. Great way of seeing what's to come versus walls of text.Morlenil Barkolomew Turmuz Shurz Gruubluk

It also looks like the main action bar at the bottom has a new look to it.
Jul 03 2012 02:07 PM #9
Decent teaser. I would like to see a little more gameplay. The video only really shows him attacking two mobs, one you can't really see what happens because it zooms out and the other he gets dismounted and then it cuts off. The battles look pretty cool and the plains of Rohan look very much like plains, although without the high grasses.

Ok, for a teaser. I wish they would release a developer diary with some demos for each class. The expansion really isn't that far away. Looks interesting, and I'd love to see how the other classes play. I'm looking forward to trying it out, at the bare minimum I like the innovation and risk Turbine is taking.
Jul 03 2012 02:48 PM #15
Ah finally heard our requests for slashing things on a horse! Can't wait
But the question I had in my head thinking about this is: Can we spar just as we can attack but on a horse? And will there be mounted combat in PvMP which will make it harder for PvMP players to attack? (Which is hard enough because with the newest updates we are getting beaten up)
Also wondering if we have to buy mounted combat with the Rohan pack to use it... Because that would be pretty silly
Jul 03 2012 02:50 PM #16
It was interesting to hear a little of the theory behind mounted combat explained.
However, this video did little to reassure me that the theory actually works and can be implemented in a way that's fun for every class. We didn't even see much combat to give feedback on.
I'd challenge Turbine to show us 60 seconds of real close-up solo mounted combat for each class, and a few minutes of group mounted combat. That sounds reasonable to me for an expansion that launches in just a few weeks.Founder of the Better Biscuit Bureau, 4 Brookbank Street, Bannockbury, Brandywine.

When I first opened up the video, I was thrilled to see it was almost 6 minutes long!
Must be lots of info, right?
The first 2,5 minutes were absolutely pointless. Sapience asks "Can tanks tank and healers heal from horseback?" and Rowan answers "Yes". That is the only thing that happened. Such a simple question and a simple answer, both so elongated without reason.
At the end of that we get some new info. Rowan proceeds to explain the concept of 3 stances, which will certainly be tied to the 3 mount trait lines that have been mentioned in the past.
Finally at 3:15, we get the sneak peek of mounted combat.
For 20 seconds.
Okay. Maybe there will be more later in the video?
12 more seconds starting at 5:03.
For a total of 32 seconds.
Those 32 seconds are full of interesting new things (most of which have been already pointed out by Nyrion so I won't type them out again). But really? 32 seconds of mounted combat in a 6 minute long video, where at least 4,5 minutes held no importance?
I am glad we are getting teasers, but I was disappointed with the way this one was presented. Please, more footage and less filler. Just less filler is fine too.

I appreciate the attempt to show us what's going on. I don't think this really answered any questions I have about how the implementation is going to work -- and in fact it raised a new concern that mounted combat may be a bit too much like a boring console scroller for my tastes. But the communication is a good thing.

To me, 'a few' has always been more than two but less than six.
It's rather a moot point anyways. :P
Anyway, while I would have liked to have seen more actual gameplay, listening to the talk there were some good info snippets to glean. I'm not overly worried about details at this point, going by what they've said thus far these kinds of videos will become more common as we get closer to launch(another next week perhaps?).Morlenil Barkolomew Turmuz Shurz Gruubluk

It was very exciting to see mounted combat. I agree i was disappointed by the small amount of actual footage. However what did stick out was how fast it can be 1-2 hits and the mob dies.
This is good because in real life one or two hits with a sword and you would be lucky to run away....
It looks fast paced and interesting.
Still did not really answer what a burg will do with 2 10 inch daggers riding full speed at a warg rider?...
But im sure we will see a lot more yet. Still 2 months to go...

THIS is exactly the kind of dissection and teasing apart we were hoping to see around this video. There are loads of little pieces of info in it for those who take a close look like Nyrion did.
Your second word nailed it. Teaser. That was the entire goal. No one outside of the press at E3 has seen even a single second of mounted combat.
Also, these inside the game videos are a community team effort. Yes we drafted our video guys to help out with some of the legal bits and pieces and to make it look pretty, but this is a community team inititive that we hope to conitnue (and will absolutely take your feedback to date into consideration). But please keep in mind these are done in one sitting, they're not scripted, and we are trying give you glimpses of not just the highlighted systems, but the people making the game and a little taste of what it's like to be 'in the building'.
Or maybe, 'A fly on the wall' is a better way to put it.
LOL. Well, we all have different monitors and needs. For example my desk has two monitors, a 19" 4:3 and a 23" 16:9 1080P display. Others have fully touch enabled Wacom drawing monitors that they can draw directly on. They're pretty slick.
And the 'room' is actually very large. Aaron sits about 12 feet away from me. We had to scrunch up like that to make the video guys happy and get us both in the frame.
That was a last minute add. We wondered how many people would notice.
Developer diaries come closer to release. This year, unlike in the past, there will be two types of developer diaries; Video and written. Video diaries will let you see what it looks like, and the written diaries will give the dev team the ability to give you a more in-depth explanation of the changes and systems shipping with Rohan. So, if anything, you'll be getting more information, on a more regular basis, and earlier, than ever before.
So, as an example, you'll be seeing another video this week featuring Chance Thomas and a behind the scenes "dev diary" on the making of the Soundtrack.
Yes it does.
One last thing, I have to give a shout out to our waiter at the crab shack the other night. Better half was wearing a LOTRO Tee and he turned out to be a player and asked all kinds of questions of her until she told him he should ask me. He was very cool. So HEY!

Sapience, I agree with others! What a tease! hehe. I'm delighted to hear about your team's plans for both video and written dev diaries. Now that is exciting news!
We asked for more and we're getting more. It's good to see you folks in your natural habitat. But where are the Cheez-its, carmel corn, and Snicker bars?

The thing that stuck out to me in the video was the slight class skill changes that are coming with mounted combat. Example being the captain not being able to use herald/banner like in traditional combat; but instead having the different stances to allow the captain to specialize in different utility roles as needed.
On a side note: Major props for reaching out and sharing this information with the community. You guys took a lot of flack from us for the lack of communication for RoI, and this shows me that communication this time around is going to be MUCH better this time around.
Look forward to more videos along the way

Right on, thanks for the sneak peak guys! Looks killer.
Ignoring all the naysayers who cant be happy with some rather than no info..
Couple other things I noticed were..
- A reworked UI skills bar at the bottom of the screen, looks* like its been specifically reworked to use in mounted combat so not sure if thats just for that and switches back when we dismount..?
- Horses are naked!? No cosmetics or even basic saddle looks to be in there..
- Seems as though the camera controls are the same.. ie player has complete control over views and it doesnt change automatically within mounted combat. Gotta be quick on that 3D rotate!? Especially if its as fast as they say/show..
Jul 03 2012 05:56 PM #32
A few things I noticed from this video:
- At 3:17 (when the close-up begins) it says something about Steed XP along with the normal XP message, in the lower-left corner.
- There is a new Rohan-themed HUD appearance on the lower edge of the screen, along with what appears to be horse-related skills.
- During the first close-up, at one point the Captain appears to use a skill which noticably increases mount speed (some kind of sprint, maybe?).
- There is no "pet" skill bar. Perhaps normal skill bars changed to pre-configured mounted combat bars when on a War-steed?
- At right about 3:19, when the Captain hits the warg-mounted Goblin Spear-thrower for 2605 damage, an identical number "hops" off the partially-visible vitals display (this number can be seen if you watch the upper edge of the video right at this moment). When the camera zooms out again, more numbers drop off the Goblin's vitals display if you watch closely. This appears to be a new addition to the HUD.
- At 5:06, if you look real closely, a Resisted message hops off the Uruk Shaman's vitals display, identical to the message above the mob when the Captain's skill is resisted.
- At about 5:08, the War-steed the Captain is riding does a stop with its front legs, dealing damage to the Uruk Shaman. This is clearly a mount-specific skill.
- At around 5:15, when the Captain gets dismounted from his War-steed taking too much damage, the Devastating Critical (from reflected damage, judging from the small number) the Uruk Shaman suffers also appears by the enemy vitals display.
- At 3:21, a new error message appears stating "Wrong position for skill". At the same time, a "(Skill_TargetNotInPositio n)" tag appears under the message in the chat area (likely for debugging purposes).
- At 5:11, the Captain uses a skill on a quickslot bar just above the main bar, with a significant cooldown. What appears to be a snare debuff appears on the Uruk Shaman's vitals display. This is likely some kind of movement debuff, judging from the hamstring animation.
One less Orc in the world is a good thing, and one less leader among the Orcs is a great thing.

Although what I've seen looks very interesting:
Videos like this when RoR preorder launched would have avoided A LOT of frustration and confusion ... Just saying.
Jul 03 2012 06:02 PM #34
Just noticed two new things:
Steed XP & You're not in the right position for that skill ( or something like that ) .
I wonder how is that going to affect skills wich do not need to face the target .

very exciting teaser I can't wait to learn more about the three stances; Red Dawn, Riddermark and Rohirrim were the ones I heard mentioned. I do like the cancel and dismount under the mount's health and power bar... makes me wonder what will happen if you dismount in the middle of a battle (to fight on foot.... okay - I know that isn't the purpose but I'm wondering just the same) I also heard Aaron say he "set up an attack" - that sounds pretty cool. I like the look of the skill bar too (from what I could see)
looking forward to more video's and dev diaries - 63 days!!!
Jul 03 2012 06:04 PM #36
Some quick responses...
Yes, the quickslot bar is specifically for Mounted Combat! It swaps out dynamically as you mount and dismount.
As Sapience says, this is a peek. I was using a horse without cosmetics on our test server - but there are a lot of gear variations and colors available.
For camera controls, we have the option to lock your camera view. I prefer to direct mine manually and drive with the mouse. To each his (or her) own.
About my monitor, I save the new stuff for the engineers, designers and artists. As a producer I spend most of my day working with spreadsheets and email anyway.Senior Producer

Just wanted to jump in here, but given how many skills we already have at this time, I think this approach will make life a lot easier when Rohan launches. Reworking quickslot bar setups to accommodate for mounted combat would have been tedious, to say the least.
Anyway, out of curiosity, what influenced the decision in regards to this specific approach for War-steed skills, rather than other alternatives (ie. a "pet" skill bar, like the ones for Lore-master and Captain pets)?One less Orc in the world is a good thing, and one less leader among the Orcs is a great thing.
Jul 03 2012 06:13 PM #39
Might mounted combat be the reason (or at least a big motivator) for the newly introduced option to lock the camera to a target? I can see how this option would help immensely in mounted combat.
Other observations; The horse dying-animation looked great, except for the fact that it looked to be locked to one spot on the ground. You had this horse galloping full speed suddenly coming to a sudden stop right there on the spot as if it had no momentum, and it just looked really awkward.
Nice to see Uruks mounted (though I really hope the horse is replaced with a warg eventually). Goblins aren't really that menacing visually, but a pack of regular orcs and Uruks, all mounted up, that would be something different.
Not as much gameplay-footage as I had hoped, but I really like that they're making an effort to give us information.Last edited by Macfeast; Jul 03 2012 at 06:19 PM.

All I saw (I think) was lots of swinging at empty air and still somehow fighting the enemy.
I so hope that we´re not just getting a new horsie with skills, but still have to use our close quarters melee daggers or one handed swords and axes.
Will our current two-handed weapons and spears become mandatory for mounted combat or will we get a completely new class of arms?
I really hope you´re not expecting us to believe that a dagger will be of any use on horseback.
Oh and are you guys per chance running from an SSD there? Looked like it.

"Doherty's excursion" via MarkHanna and the F. & P.

The demonstration was well handled and a credit to the party. The speeches by W. A. Norton, of St. Johns, Ex-Judge Hart, Prank Dodds, of Mt. Pleasant, D. E.

Two years ago that county gave a Eepublioan majority of 1,000 and to turn this over required tho powerf nl and united efforts of tho old party workers besides hundreds of the rank and file who gave their time and sympathies to tho cause. On Wednesday that loyal Bepublican supporter of the silver cause, Geo. W. Graham, of Farwell, wrote The Ooubiee as follows: '"It looks now as if we were defeated. If so, I go down with colors flying and am ready to renew the fight, and begin as soon as I find what the ro- su'lfe really is." This s the throb of patriotism that stirs the heart today of every true believer in the cause of the masses as against the classes, and it is these patriots that will ultimately wear the crown of victory for honest money and America for Americans. The boat service ever-had for receiving returns in this oity were given oh election night. Western Dnion^ wire placed in Doherty opera house and Duncan's hall and expert operators wero on hand to take tho returns until four ocloek "Wednesday morning.

Normal: |
A normal FIT/iFOBT or FOBT test means that there was no blood in your stool at the time of the test. A normal sDNA test means that no abnormal cells were found. Normal test results are called negative. |
Abnormal: |
An abnormal FIT/iFOBT or FOBT test means that there was some blood in your stool at the time of the test. An abnormal sDNA test means that some abnormal cells were found. Abnormal test results are called positive. |
Normal results
If a stool test is normal, it does not always mean Reference colorectal cancer Opens New Window or Reference colon polyps Opens New Window are not present. That's because these tests can miss polyps and some cancers.
Talk with your doctor about how often you should do a test, depending on your age and any risk factors you may have for colorectal cancer.
Abnormal results
A colon polyp, a precancerous polyp, or cancer can cause a positive stool test. With a positive test, there is a small chance that you have early-stage colorectal cancer.
Talk with your doctor about what test you may need next. Most of the time, an abnormal stool test means that you will need to have a Reference colonoscopy Opens New Window.

The Durant ISD Board of Education held its regular meeting Monday evening. During the meeting administrators and board members discussed the grades each school received from the Oklahoma State Board of Education.
A grading system adopted by the Oklahoma Legislature in 2011 showed its first results recently which were reviewed in the meeting.
With the A-F School Report Cards, schools are graded on various aspects such as student growth, achievement and dropout rates. The various aspects are graded to form an overall grade for each school.
All six schools in the district received passing scores. The lowest scored in the district was Robert E Lee Elementary with a C (2.50) only 0.25 points away from a B grade.
Both Northwest Heights Elementary and Washington Irving Elementary schools received a 3.50 score. Durant Intermediate School received a 2.82 score.
Durant High School received a 3.17 and Durant Middle School received the highest in the district with a score of 3.66.
Grading is as follows: 3.75 – 4.00 (A), 2.72 - 3.74 (B), 1.75 – 2.74 (C), 0.75-1.74 (D), and below 0.75 (F).
"We are very pleased with what our teachers do and what our students do, but we are not finished," said Durant ISD Superintendent Dr. Jason Simeroth.
More on items covered during the Monday meeting will be in Wednesday's paper.
