Chapter 11,
CHICAGO Ormet Corp. struggled to find companies interested in buying the primary aluminum producer before it filed for bankruptcy protection last month, court documents show.
Hannibal, Ohio-based Ormet, in conjunction with investment banker Evercore Partners, reached out to 21 parties, of which nine expressed initial interest and entered into nondisclosure agreements. But only two of those nine expressed interest in a possible transaction, and "neither was willing to provide terms or conditions to move forward with a possible sale," according to documents filed Feb. 25 in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Delaware.....

A Bomb Exploding in Your Dreams
"Every challenge we face can be solved by a dream." - David Schwartz
Dear Lauri,
Last night I dreamt a bomb landed a few doors from my house. I ran away as fast as I could to take shelter from the explosion. The bomb went off, then I woke up. What does this mean? - Anonymous 37, somewhere in PA
Lauri: Did you or did anyone around you have an emotional outburst recently? If not, then did some bad news get dropped on you? Or perhaps a negative situation has seemingly landed in your life and you fear it is a ticking time bomb, ready to explode if something isn't done. The fact that you ran from the bomb suggests this is an issue that you are avoiding rather than dealing with it.
Anonymous replies: I'm a morning show host on the radio. I'm REALLY not happy here since they changed players on our morning show. I don't like the new guy they added. And you are exactly right. I haven't told management that I HATE what they've done to our show. I've been keeping my feelings to myself.
Lauri: Ah… so the new guy is the bad news/bomb. And it came from above because management is above you. That's tough to have to work with someone you don't like. Maybe you two should get drunk together! (wink)
Anonymous replies: Ha ha! That's true. Maybe we should. (smile)
Fascinating Sleep Fact:
Sleep Talking, also known as Somniloquy, is not connected to dreaming. It typically happens in the first two stages of sleep before REM begins. When it does happen during REM, it comes out as muffled cries or moaning and groaning because the skeletal muscles, including the jaw, are paralyzed at this point so that we do not get up and act out our dreams.

The upcoming Superman vs Batman is providing plenty of grist for the rumor mill.
Rumors are flying that Green Lantern/John Stewart will appear in the movie. Some reports are quoting inside sources who say Denzel Washington is being considered for the role. Other reports say Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is also in contention.
Denzel Washington would be a great choice for John Stewart. He's got the maturity and skill to portray an experienced and seasoned Green Lantern. Washington would bring a lot of credibility to the movie.
Photo credit: Denzel Washington (Wikimedia photo by S. Jaud)
It's also been rumored that Nightwing and The Flash will make appearances. According to some reports, Grant Gustin would play Flash. That makes sense, as Gustin currently plays Flash on CW's Arrow. Production work is currently underway on a television pilot for The Flash.
However, I wouldn't take any of these rumors too seriously. There was a firestorm of stories a few months ago that Bryan Cranston had been cast as Lex Luthor. That report turned out to be completely false.
Here are the things that Warner Brothers has confirmed about the new movie. Henry Cavill will return as Superman, Ben Affleck will play an older, jaded version of Batman, and Gil Gadot has been cast as Wonder Woman.
I'm a life-long Batmaniac. I've watched Batman in every film, television, cartoon and movie incarnation dating back to the movie serials of the 1940's. I have grave concerns about this new movie.
Most of my doubts are centered on director Zach Snyder. As I watched Man of Steel, there was never a moment where I thought, "Oh yeah, THIS is Superman." Man of Steel just didn't feel like a Superman movie. There was almost nothing familiar about it, except for the names of characters.
I fear the same thing will happen in Superman vs Batman. Warner Brothers can stuff the movie full of classic heroes, such as Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash and Nightwing. But can Snyder successfully recreate the characters in a way that fans recognize and love?
I have a sinking feeling that Zach Snyder will deliver a movie like Tim Burton's Batman Returns... a grotesque world inhabited by bizarre figures that have little resemblance to their comic book counterparts.
I hope time proves me wrong.

Hello, I have been a member of WU since 2005. Originally, I joined to share data from my weather station. I soon discovered the WU photo section and was amazed by some of the photos I saw. I had dabbled in photography as a teenager having an Olympus OM-10 35mm camera where I learned a lot of the fundamentals of photography, but drifted away from the hobby. Over the past few years, I have regained my interest and have gotten back into it. Cameras used recently are a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G10 micro 4/3 camera (2011-sold), and later(2012) a Nikon D5000 DSLR, and most recently a Nikon D7100 (2014), and I have really been enjoying sharing my photos with the WU photo community. My main subjects are birds and butterflies, and other insects, of which I mostly photograph right in my back yard. The WU photo gallery is a great place to hang out. I was so happy to finally get a blue frame around one of my photos! Photography is a great stress reliever for me and I'm glad I have gotten back into it. It is an honor to be able to share my work here, and to be able to see some amazing photographic work posted from around the world. Thank you for taking the time to look at some of my photos.Best Regards,Chuck

Reversible Accordion- Hooded Jacket 4 4
glam on a dull rainy days When I first saw it I couldnt forget it. Then I bought one at an upscale dept store in my town which was relatively the same fabric but longer style in a deep bronze faint cheetah print.. Came upon it again many months later and there was a fab sale on at TS and click !! it was mine. I love it. I like the length and the fit is what I want on my small frame. I travel often and this really dresses up with a sparkling scarf. I usually wear it winter, fall and spring as the weight of he fabric lends itself best to those seasons. Packs light and small in a roll. FIery redheads, luscious brunettes, chromium gray/white hair, and blondes set off the fabric color and sheen all in a big beautiful way. Be ready for compliments galore and it even is waterproof! THe price was even 1/10th of the longer coat it bought before this. You will look like no one else in drab rain attire. I really wish it would rain more where I live. April 19, 2014
Cute Jacket Love the color of this jacket--just like it appears online. I'm a size 14, 5"4" tall. I purchased a Size XLRG, thinking I might want to wear this over a sweater. The fit is roomy enough to wear over a sweater, suit jacket, etc. It hits me at mid-theigh. The sleeves are too long by about 2", so I'll have to have them altered. The "accordion hood" is a trip! It looks cute down, as a collar, but if you try to put it up over your head, the fabric creeps down the back of your head--will not stay put! Even so, I like this jacket, and since I got it on sale, I'll keep it. June 26, 2013
Love this jacket, would like to see it in other colors as well. The hood is really cool. I have a copper colored one as well that I love. I get lots of compliments on it from people I run into in public. Thanks for making it available. MY fav! October 6, 2013
Cheers me up on rainy days! I had my eye on this little jacket for a long time. When it went on sale, I bought it. I'm glad I did. It makes me feel good when it's downcast. You could wear it as a jacket, not just when it rains. I got a medium which is roomy enough for me to wear a thick sweater underneath in case it's chilly. I wear it with dresses, skirts, trousers, leggings . . .it's versatile--and truly reversible. I love it! Thanks TravelSmith. March 12, 2014

There are many different ways you can do the headstand. You can do the headstand with your legs straight like my friend Kristin (girl on left) or wide like my legs.
Either way both of these poses are good for your lower spine and helps with blood flow.
We use the wall for added support but if you are more experienced then you don't have to use the wall. I'm sure someday I will get there without the wall.
As of right now, I'll stick with the wall. It also helps with abs bringing your legs up and down.
Here is a good tutorial video on the wide leg headstand.

Ready for a workout? That's exactly what you'll get from your Aries pet, since this is a most energetic animal that is sure to keep you fit. No shrinking, Violet. The Aries pet will do whatever it wants and make plenty of noise while it's at it. Not very good behavior, eh? Oh well, this pet is such a pal that you're bound to overlook that lack of good manners.
Friendly and sweet, your Aries pet will be in heaven when company comes over, the better to show off its favorite tricks. This is also an assertive animal, so canines in particular can be expected to be staunch protectors of the home. While your Aries pet may appear a bit compulsive at times, it's only because these animals are so action-oriented and revel in a frisky, fun-filled day of play.
The Aries Kitty needs room to roam as well, so be sure not to lock them up. Competitive, too, your Aries pet will want to be the pride of the neighborhood, running farther and faster just to show their owner how special they are. Keep showing this pup new games (hopefully with new toys!), and their love will be boundless. As Aries rules the head, eyes, and ears, be mindful of these areas on your pet.

Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Our take on the Sanus NFC18 by Julie Govan Sanus knows that not everyone has their center channel sitting atop their television but for a long time, there weren't a lot of other options for center channel placement. Today, the high-performance NFC18 is a great way to position your center channel speaker for optimum sound quality, while matching the look of the stand to your other speaker stands. The wide top plate is metal and measures 14"W x 8"D. It comes with rubber bumpers and adjustable spikes either can be used to lift your speaker out of direct contact with the plate, thus allowing for improved audio. The rubber bumpers also help keep the speaker in place. The pillars and base are made of anti-resonant MDF the base has a smooth low-luster black finish, while the pillars are finished in black lacquer or cherry hardwood veneer. The base measures 18-1/4"W x 11-3/4"D. Plastic feet for the underside of the base plate protect wood or tile floors (adjustable carpet spikes also included). A patent-pending concealed speaker wire path on each rounded support pillar keeps cables out of sight. Assembly takes just minutes. Warranty: 5 years. Available with black lacquer or cherry pillars.

Adjustable floor spikes are included to provide stable footing on carpeted floors, and to further minimize resonance. Two sturdy black pillars support the low-profile top plate, which features a choice of rubber isolation pads or adjustable speaker studs. Plastic wire covers give your speaker stands a neater look by concealing the wires completely. Spiked Feet: The spiked feet pierce the carpeting and anchor the stand to the floor, keeping the speaker stable and reducing resonance.

The NFC18 speaker stands are excellent for my two heavy ie. 20lb.+ front bookshelf speakers. Each stand is very solid with a metal top and a large sturdy wood base. I wanted solid stands that I could use to elevate my front speakers and not worry about them falling off the stands. The NFC18 stands exceeded my expictations. Was this review helpful? Yes | No 4 out of 5 Good product Written By Brad C, West Palm Beach on Thursday, June 09, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good product that comes with all the necessary accessories to lock the speaker in place as well as the stand itself. Well thought out with rubber bumpers to angle the speaker up if needed and prevent vibration. The wire hiding option worked great, but was a little bit hard to "install" as the plastic did not want to cup nicely into the slots. Took me an extra 2 mins of struggling, but alas it fell into place. Only complaint from my side is that $100 for this stand is a bit extravagantly priced. Guess I should stop whining and enjoy it... ;-) 13 out of 13 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Morning DiscussionLast night I finally watched the Coen Brothers adaptation of True Grit. I was a big fan of the flick and, as I suspected it would, by the end I wanted to race home and play some more Red Dead Redemption.
It's a little sad that the wild west has fallen off as a setting for films. When Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven came out, I remember some referring to it as the last great western. Looking back at film history, there's a deluge of movies taking place in the era.
I suppose it falls into the category of American Exceptionalism--what, in story terms, separates America as a nation from others. How men from very little will often rise to the occasion and become a hero in the face of evil. That's what I'm told, at least. I'm Canadian.
What is also does is offer the modern gamer a glance at a time where survival skills, honor, and reputation were the things that defined a man.
Maybe I'm reading too much into it but the western is a fantastic place to show the rise and fall of our favorite characters.
Except that Insane Clown Posse movie "Big Money Rustlas." That doesn't work as an example of anything. Entertainment included.

LEARNED, MS. — The Glenbrook Apaches were eliminated from the MAIS playoffs after a 64-54 loss to Mt. Salus Christian School Monday night. The Apaches finished the season with a 27-7 record.
"It was just a disappointing game," Glenbrook head coach Todd Spurlock said. "It was not the way we wanted to end it. You'd like to say you were beaten by a better team that just out-played you, but I was very disappointed with the way we played last night. I don't think we came ready to play."Subscribe to Read!

Visitors to the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial in Washington, D.C. appear divided over plans to change an inscription on the main statue.
The inscription currently reads: "I was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness." It's not a direct quote. It's a paraphrase from a sermon Dr. King delivered about two months before his assassination. In that sermon, he discussed how he might like to be remembered at his funeral, and was possibly responding to criticism that King was merely a drum major.
In the sermon, King said, "Yes, if you want to say that I was a drum major, say that I was a drum major for justice. Say that I was a drum major for peace. I was a drum major for righteousness. And all of the other shallow things will not matter."
Critics, including the famous poet Maya Angelou, believe the paraphrase is inaccurate and out-of-context. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar has ordered the inscription changed.
"He was a drum major for justice, peace and righteousness," opined Marcel Kouaho, of Southwest Washington, D.C. Kouaho believes the paraphrased inscription properly captures the essence of King's character. So does Jean Williams of Waynesboro, Pennsylvania, who said the current inscription is part of the artist's "rendition of things."
When read the full quote, more visitors told us they support changing the inscription. "Quote him fully," declared Dianne Crawford, of Pikesville, Maryland. Not part of it, but everything that he said." Karen Stevens of Alexandria, Virginia agreed, and said the inscription "absolutely" needs to be changed.
The King family, and others, will be consulted over the next month in an effort to forge a consensus on what words should be added to clarify the inscription.

Contact your national Alzheimer Association
Alzheimer associations are a central component in how we assist people with dementia and their carers. Originally they were created for three reasons:
- to provide much needed information on Alzheimer's disease
- to provide support for carers and to provide them with the possibility to exchange information and experiences and
- to raise awareness in order to ensure that people are diagnosed properly. Over time, the associations have grown considerably, both in the size of each organisation themselves, but also in terms of the number of national associations which now exist.
The first European national association was in the UK, which was set up in 1979. 30 years on, and there are now over 30 national associations within Europe. As the organisations grew, so did their work mandate which extended to include campaigns for particular issues as well as policy work.
To contact your national association, visit our member organisations' page.

Commercial Deep Fryer
These units are a much-relied upon part of countless commercial kitchens, with capacity to produce tasty and in-demand foods with relatively little effort from the cook. In choosing a commercial deep fryer, it is important to consider what foods you will be cooking, as that will dictate what type you need. You can learn more about that important consideration and others through the on-page guides in each category below. Whether you're frying corn dogs at a concession stand or beignet at a fancy French restaurant, we have the right unit for you.
Commercial Gas Fryer
By delivering high-intensity heat, a commercial gas fryer can cut cooking times for foods like tempura, breaded fish, and, of course, French fries. We offer open-pot, tube-type, and flat-bottom fryers with capacities ranging from 25 to 75 pounds of oil in floor and countertop models.
Countertop Commercial Fryer
For low- to medium-volume operations like concession stands and neighborhood pubs, a countertop commercial fryer offers the ability to add menu items without taking up floor space. Good for things like appetizers, French fries, and snacks, they're great on their own or as a complement to the equipment already in your kitchen.
Fryer Cleaning
A regular fryer cleaning routine enables it to work more efficiently, extends the life of your cooking oil, and preserves the taste of the food you cook. Most manufacturers recommend filtering cooking oil at least once a day, with the frequency of more thorough cleanings determined by how much cooking is done.
Funnel Cake Fryer
Sometimes called a flat or flat-bottom unit, the most common name for these comes from the food product they're most known for cooking. A funnel cake fryer has a large, square oil vat that is heated from beneath, which means the oil is clear of the heating elements.
Fryer Accessories
Having the right commercial fryer accessories equips you for success. From regular square baskets to specially-designed taco baskets, dump stations for holding foods before serving to gas lines, we've got the tools that enable you to ensure your equipment runs safely and efficiently.
Commercial Electric Fryer
Electric fryers are efficient because their heat energy is provided more directly to the oil vat. Many of these models feature swing-up elements that make it easier to clean the frypot. Available features like audible timers, automatic basket lifts, and programmable controls make operation a snap, too. We have floor, countertop, and drop-in models.
Corn Dog Fryer
The corn dog fryer is essentially a narrow and tall flat-bottom model with a rack or two of clips built into the vat to hold corn dog sticks. The compact size of these units makes them perfect for concession stands that want to add the fried snacks. We offer units that can cook standard 6-inch and foot-long corn dogs.
Donut Fryer
Frying those delicious rings of dough takes specialty equipment. A donut fryer has a large square vat with a screen to keep the circles from sitting on the element, another to hold them under the oil, and a drainboard to rid them of excess oil.
Commercial Pressure Fryer
The commercial pressure fryer has been trusted for decades to provide succulent and flavorful fried chicken batch after batch. They're found both singly in local diners and in batteries that take up a quarter of the kitchen in international chains. They provide a more intense heat thanks to the pressure, which means they cook foods faster and keep them moister.
Built-In Deep Fryer
These units provide a solution for space-limited kitchens and custom counters, like those in concession stands. The typical built-in fryer offers cooking capacity comparable to that of a countertop unit and is made to be built into a stainless steel counter.

FSF Weighs in on Secure Boot
Free Software Foundation considers Restricted Boot a threat to user freedom.
In the ongoing saga of secure boot, the Free Software Foundation has issued a whitepaper that "outlines the difficulties Secure Boot poses for the free software movement and free software adoption, warns against the threat of Restricted Boot, and gives recommendations for how free software developers and users can best address the issues."
In the paper, the FSF recaps the approaches taken by Fedora and Ubuntu to address the problem. The FSF says there is much to like about Fedora's thinking, but goes on to say, "Unfortunately, while it is compliant with the license of GRUB 2 and any other GPLv3-covered software, we see two serious problems with the Microsoft program approach." They outline the problems as follows:
- Users wishing to run in a Secure Boot environment will have to trust Microsoft in order to boot official Fedora. The Secure Boot signing format currently allows only one signature on a binary – so Fedora's shim bootloader can be signed only by the Microsoft-vouched key. If a user removes Microsoft's key, official Fedora will no longer boot, as long as Secure Boot is on.
- We reject the recommendation that others join the Microsoft developer program. In addition to the $99 expense being a barrier for many people around the world, the process for joining this program is objectionable.
The Ubuntu approach states that machines preinstalled with Ubuntu, will have an Ubuntu-specific key generated by Canonical in their firmware. Ubuntu CDs will depend on Microsoft's key in the machine's firmware to boot when Secure Boot is active. And, Ubuntu bootloader images distributed from the official Ubuntu archive will be signed by Ubuntu's own key.
The FSF's main concern here is that Ubuntu plans to drop GRUB 2 on secure boot systems in favor of another bootloader with a different license that lacks GPLv3's protections for user freedom. In the whitepaper, they urge Ubuntu and Canonical to reverse this decision and reiterate that the focus of the FSF is "to evaluate proposed solutions to the issues posed by Secure Boot on the basis of how well they protect user freedom, to recommend the solutions that do the best job of that, and to stop attempts to turn Secure Boot into Restricted Boot." You can read the Secure Boot whitepaper online.

Chapter 8 finale -- Condor and Blizzard lock horns over Diablo
In part 2 of our exclusive look at chapter 8 from Stay Awhile and Listen, we went behind closed doors to take part in Condor's "work hard, play hard" culture. Today, Condor and Blizzard Entertainment lock horns over how Diablo should play.
While the team plugged away on the projects that kept the bills paid, Dave and Erich spent hours each day holed up in Dave's office hashing out Diablo's design. Their first order of business was to retire the game's design document to a desk drawer. They had written the document to attract a publisher with deep pockets. It had served its purpose.
I would say our style was iterative. A lot of developers say that, but I don't think they mean it to the same degree that we did, which was: Get something on-screen and work on that until it's fun, decide why it's fun, and do more of it; or decide why it's not fun and do less.
It was really about starting with small moments and honing those small moments, and then building a game from that. That style meant we could change things very fast.
- Erich Schaefer
Whipping up a whole dungeon crawling with monsters and treasures seemed a lofty starting point, so they picked out the elements that made up the game's backbone and built up from there.
The very first thing we did was Erich made one rough room out of tiles. We had a crude tiling system and sprite cutting tools in place, then our very first animations followed.
Those were the very first objectives: getting something on-screen and then playing with the sizes and perspectives to get the action to look right, as well as making sure the squared tile area was based largely on X-COM as far as the way that game did its tiles.
- David Brevik
Dave reverse-engineered X-COM to gain a better understanding of how it ticked. Gameplay took place over a grid of tiles, and each character and object occupied a single tile. Dave also studied X-COM's selection box, a tool players used to move troops around using the mouse. He decided that Diablo would utilize the tile-based grid as well as mouse-driven commands, which made the game easy to grasp. With a single mouse click, players could traverse the dungeon tile by tile, pick up items, open menus, and whack monsters.
Also like X-COM, actions such as movement and combat would unfold over turns, much like a game of chess.
We fiddled with all sorts of things, but basically it was, "my turn, your turn, my turn, your turn." We were going to have items that boosted speed, and then we said, "Well, if we're going to boost speed, we should probably break this down into points." So we said, "Okay, if moving from here to here costs 10 points, then moving diagonally should cost 14."
We ended up doing this whole point system to try and get you to move, and it started to get pretty complicated.
- David Brevik
A distinctive personality emerged as the game matured. During its early stages, Diablo had no multiplayer components that provided safety in numbers. Players entered the dungeon alone, armed with their wits, a handful of gold coins, and the magical items they found along their journey. Caution, planning, and an eye for tactics were the keys to survival. Standing in place, players could scout out upcoming bends in corridors, sort through their inventories, and plan their next move. Invariably, though, they would have to take a step, and the monsters—dusty skeletons, bipedal goat men, and demons bent and clawed and slavering—emerged to greet them. Heroes who charged in quickly found themselves boxed in. Since each tile held only a single character, surrounded heroes couldn't slip away. They carved a path to freedom or died trying.
Diablo's single room slowly spread outward, growing into small dungeons where nightmares walked and treasures sat twinkling. The team's excitement grew as pieces such as the first—and at that early stage, the only—player character fell into place.
While I was working on NFL Quarterback Club, the other artists were just getting started doing some preliminary models and getting characters made. They had the first Warrior player character, and he looked like a big guy in a tin can suit: all chrome, super shiny armor.
At the time it looked amazing, but in hindsight, I think the more Mad Max, one-shoulder-pad, down-to-earth look ended up being a much better direction to go with him.
- Eric Sexton
Trips to the kitchen to fill up on caffeine and munchies became powwows to discuss progress and new ideas. Karin Colenzo, a friend of Dave's from college who came aboard as an office manager to supplement her paycheck as a counselor, started out collecting resumes from applicants and filing miscellaneous paperwork before learning that anyone and everyone at Condor was invited to submit ideas.
Everybody did have a say, and everybody wanted everybody's perspective, even mine. They'd say, "Okay, you're not the hardcore gamer who programs or who does art for us, so you have a casual perspective. What do you think of this?" and "What do you think would make the game fun?" They actually wanted my opinion, and that was kind of neat.
We wanted to make a really great game, we wanted it to succeed. Everybody had that common goal, and everybody had the same passion for what was going on. There would be days where we'd meet in the kitchen early in the morning, and someone would bring in donuts. We'd eat donuts and talk about the game, or game ideas, where the game could go.
- Karin Colenzo, office manager, Condor
Even in its embryonic stage, their game was fun and rewarding. Limping through a dungeon with a single hit point remaining only to stumble across a pack of monsters, formulate a plan that accounted for every eventuality, and emerge alive and in possession of a shiny new weapon or ornament brought a rush of satisfaction.
Doubly satisfying was the reality that the other games paid the bills, but Diablo was all theirs. There were wrinkles in the turn-based system that needed ironing, but once they smoothed out the mechanics, Diablo would make for an eerie, deeply strategic, and damn fun experience.
After playing an early build, Blizzard Entertainment didn't see things quite the same way.
Our company was saying, "We're going to take on this developer, Condor, and we're going to publish their game. It's called Diablo." And for a couple of months we were working on it not knowing that it was turn-based. When it came out that it was turn-based, we said, "No, that sucks."
We actually took a vote. They said, "Raise your hand if you would buy this game if it were turn-based." I think two people raised their hands. Then they said, "Raise your hand if you would buy this game if it were real-time." Everybody raised their hands. Allen went in and called Dave Brevik and said, "Look, you've got to make this real-time."
- Duane Stinnett, artist, Blizzard Entertainment
When Allen Adham had approached Condor with an offer to publish Diablo, he had been adamant that the game play out in real-time, not a slower turn-based system where players could take as long as they pleased to think their way out of predicaments. Every step forward in Diablo, every moment spared to paw through backpacks or scout ahead, should carry a do-or-die feel.
Dave, Max, and Erich nodded along to Allen's arguments but refused to budge.
I think we had some initial reaction that we didn't want to be told what to do. That was a characteristic of our company: We were fiercely independent. We wanted to sink or swim on our own merits, and we definitely didn't want to like someone else's idea.
- Max Schaefer
Allen and his team argued that real-time experiences were more intense and memorable, pointing to their WarCraft strategy game as an example. The best WarCraft players survived and thrived because they made calculated decisions under intense pressure when enemy forces stormed their base from all sides. Dave, Max, and Erich volleyed back by reminding their publisher that Diablo was intended as a rebirth of the dungeon hacks Dave had become addicted to during college. Rogue, Moria, and other dungeon hacks proceeded according to turns, so Diablo would as well.
By the late spring of 1995, neither Condor nor Blizzard had given an inch. Allen decided to unsheathe his most potent negotiating weapon.
There was this thing we called the velvet hammer. Allen Adham was the guy that would bring out the velvet hammer, and it was this slow tap, tap, tap, because all the changes that needed to happen with Diablo had to be sort of negotiated.
You can't just boss people around and say, "Hey, you're making a game, but we want you to make lots of changes to it," because game developers by and large don't listen to stuff like that. They want to do their own ideas.
-Patrick Wyatt, programmer, Blizzard Entertainment
Allen tap-tap-tapped his way to a compromise: Why not ask the Condor team what they wanted for Diablo? Dave and the Schaefers agreed and called a company meeting that same day, a Friday. The team filed into the kitchen, taking up chairs and boosting onto tabletops and counters. A spirited debate ensued.
I remember the bosses having a meeting and saying, "What does everyone think about making this real-time?" At the time, turn-based was still really popular. It was a viable way to go. There's something to be said about being able to sit back, eat a sandwich, and click through the game as you want.
- Eric Sexton
Our open minds were our greatest advantage at that very early phase. The thing to remember is that real-time wasn't even in the picture for the computer RPGs we grew up on, like the roguelikes. So even though we could all recognize real-time as an inevitability, to be told "the future is here" was still a little shocking.
- Matt Uelmen
It was like, "Hold on. We've got to consider what real-time means." It means you're not going to be able to sit there messing with your inventory when you're in the middle of fighting monsters, so we had to think about how it would really impact the game design, what we're trying to do, and what the play experience would be like.
But for every objection that we would come up with, there was a pretty good counter.
- Max Schaefer
There were enough people that were passionate about going real-time because they thought—and rightfully so—that turn-based was old. You could make arguments that there were still turn-based games out there, but in general, it felt old.
So enough people felt strongly enough about going real-time, and so did Blizzard South, which added considerable heft to the decision.
- Rick Seis
When talk died down, the guys called for a vote. An overwhelming majority spoke up in favor of real-time. The bosses adjourned the meeting and conferred in Dave's office. Democracy was all well and good, but there were technical restrictions to consider. They called up Bill Roper, their producer down at Blizzard, to discuss the situation.
Blizzard South suggested we make it real-time after we sent them the first build that was this turn-based version. We argued, "No, we're making this game." But they finally wore us down—it probably only took an hour or so over the phone—to the point where we said, "Okay, we'll give it a try, but it's going to be really hard work to do. It's going to take a lot of time, and we're going to need some more money for the project."
- Erich Schaefer
After everyone left for the weekend, Dave sat down at his computer and pulled up Diablo's code. He scanned through and hit on something. The game was written so every action—movement, combat, quaffing a healing potion—took up a certain amount of time. Monsters moved immediately after the player initiated a command. Once the time to perform an action expired, the game turned back the clock and the player-monster turn cycle began anew. All he needed to do was whittle the time between actions down to nothing.
Dave began to type. The sunlight filtering in through his window grew faint, then faded to night, leaving him suffused in the glow of his monitor. Occasionally a breeze sighed through the window, rustling the blinds and fluttering the hockey posters hanging over his two desks. He never once looked up.
A few hours later, he built a new version of the game, took up his mouse, and played.
I can remember the moment like it was yesterday that this happened. I was sitting and I was coding the game, and I had a warrior with a sword, and there was a skeleton on the other side of the screen. I'd been working on all this code to make characters move smoothly, doing a whole bunch of testing, and we'd talked about how the controls would work. We wanted it to be visceral. Click and swing, click and swing. We wanted it to automatically happen: If you clicked on the monster, your character would go over there and swing.
I remember very vividly: I clicked on the monster, the guy walked over, and he smashed this skeleton and it fell apart onto the ground.
The light from heaven shone through the office down onto the keyboard. I said, "Oh my God, this is so amazing!" I knew it was not only the right decision, but that Diablo was just going to be massive. It was really the most defining moment of my career, as well as for that genre of gaming. A new genre was born in that moment, and it was really quite incredible to be the person coding it and creating it. I was just there by myself coding it up. It was pretty incredible.

It's important to think ahead.
As the Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat in Game 6 of the NBA Eastern Conference Finals, I was reminded of a meme that is desperately trying to gain some traction:
It's Dunkin' Time.
It's a derivative of "It's clobberin' time," catch-phrase of the Thing from the Fantastic Four in the Marvel Comics universe. It was applied to a Roy Hibbert posterizing slam featured in a photo passed around Twitter. The idea itself is fine with all the necessary qualities: quick, catchy and fun.
There's only one problem.
At the commencement of the playoffs, not many folks, experts included, counted on the aging San Antonio Spurs making another run. I was among the doubters. I mean, surely that team has to run out of gas sometime, right? Yet Tony Parker -- no relation to Peter Parker, in case you wondered about more Marvel connections -- turned it on, turned it up and turned his team once again toward a title. There's another very important Spur awaiting the winner of the Pacers-Heat series in the NBA Finals.
Tim Duncan.
The antithesis of LeBron James, Duncan is quiet, understated, indeed yeoman in his approach to both the game and his stardom. Duncan is the least flashy a superstar has ever been. He doesn't need to be. The pride of Saint Croix in the US Virgin Islands already has four rings, three NBA Finals MVPs and two regular-season MVP titles. There's no question the Wake Forest product will be a first-ballot selection to Springfield. The discussion now is where he will rate on the Association's all-time greats list.
It's certainly not a foregone conclusion that the Pacers will face the Spurs. It's a long trip south for Game 7 and Miami already has a ring. Experience plays a big role in the playoff pursuit, just ask those Spurs. If Indiana can bring that "Blue Collar, Gold Swagger" to South Beach and steal one when it counts most, we'll have an all-ABA Finals for the Georges [meaning Gervin and McGinnis as much as Hill and Paul]. If that happens and the Pacers capture a win Monday, I would bet they'll see this greeting somewhere along the River Walk, deep in the heart of Texas, on Thursday:
It's Duncan Time.
The moral of the story is to be careful what you wish for when you attempt to create a cultural phenomenon because you just might get it.
... but not the way you wanted it.
[Photo: The Associated Press]
In fact, you may have made more trouble for Hibbert than either of you planned.
