INDEPENDENCE — Grayson County launched a brand new — and more interactive — Web site June 26 in hopes of helping local citizens gather information about the county and its governing body.
The new site — GraysonVirginia.com — has been in the works for about four months and still has some glitches to work out after being launched a few weeks early.
Grayson Assistant County Administrator Felicia Hash said the old site contracted a virus and was losing information rapidly.

8 great reasons to visit Christchurch
Christchurch is recovering from devastating earthquakes, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't visit. Read on for some great reasons to visit Christchurch.
1 / 4
Travelling to New Zealand would not be complete without a visit to the South Island's biggest city - Christchurch. Despite being shaken by devastating earthquakes a few years ago, the city is well worth a visit with planty to see and do. Here are a few must-see sights around Christchurch.
Botanic Gardens
Christchurch is known as the Garden City and for good reason. The botanic gardens here are beautiful! It's a great place to visit if you are looking for a place to relax for a few hours during a sunny day!
Canterbury Museum
Want to know more about the history of Christchurch and Canterbury? Then the Canterbury Museum is the place to go! There are plenty of interesting exhibits here detailing the history of the city and region. A must visit if you are a history geek!
Cardboard Cathedral
Yes, there is a cathedral made out of cardboard in Christchurch! It is a temporary installation, while the old cathedral is damaged. This is truly a unique place to visit, and it is a testament to the ingenuity of the kiwis.
Container Mall
The Container Mall -Re:Start - replaced the old Cashel Mall, which was destroyed by the earthquakes. In its place is a mall consiting entirely of shops in shipping containers! This is another testament to the resolve of the people in Christchurch, and it is truly a unique place to visit!
Godley Head
Godley Head is located outside of the city limits, but is an interesting place to visit. It is an old army base and still has the batter installations intact. There are some great views to be had here, and it is a great palce to spend a day exploring!

Christchurch has a long history with Antarctic exploration and its home to the International Antarctic Centre. If you want to know more about the Antarctic and what life is like there, then this is the palce to go! A great place to go if you are with your family in Christchurch!
Lyttleton Bay
Lyttelton Bay is one of the most picturesque spots in all of Christchurch. Although the city suffered badly from the earthquakes it is recovering and is definitely worth a visit. There are some incredible views overlooking the bay, especially from atop the Gondola. You are missing out if you don't visit here!
Sumner is possibly the prettiest suburb in Christchurch. There are amazing views of the coastline around every corner and great beaches such as Taylor's Mistake too! There are plenty of great cafes and restuarants here, so it's a great place to spend a day relaxing and admiring the beautiful views!

/ New Jersey Featured Soil: Rockaway
Loading Tree...
The Rockaway Series was established as a soil series in 1939 in the Black Rock Forest Area of Orange County, New York. Rockaway first appeared in a USDA soil survey publication in New Jersey in the "Soil Survey of Passaic County, New Jersey", published in 1975. Currently, Rockaway is mapped only in New Jersey, encompassing approximately 108,000 acres in the northern part of the state. It is named after the Town of Rockaway in Morris County, New Jersey.
Rockaway soils formed in parent material consisting of Wisconsinan-age till derived from the granite and gneiss bedrock types found in the New Jersey physiographic province known as the "Highlands". A typical soil profile of Rockaway soils shows development of both argillic and fragipan horizons.
Rockaway soils are predominately wooded; however, some areas have been cleared for farming. Precautions need to be taken to prevent erosion on steeper slopes. Stones and boulders are commonly found on the ground surface and can present limitations for growing crops and using farming and construction equipment. The landscape picture above shows the typical land use of Rockaway soils. Rockaway soils are often associated with areas of rock outcrops and soils that are shallow or moderately deep to bedrock, which may create limitations for urban development.
In the three diagrams below, the black circle (or ellipse) shows the range of drainage class, depth to bedrock, and depth to seasonal high water table for the Rockaway series.
Not rated as hydric
Can be Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance if not limited by slope or surface stoniness
For information on Important Farmland Soils (which include the designations of Prime, Statewide and Local) refer to the web soil survey. The criteria are explained, and you can print Adobe Acrobat pdf files of maps of your area of interest.
The Official Series Description Web Page has a collection of descriptions of soil properties for each series in the entire country.
The National Soils Web Page has a wealth of information if you wish to learn more about the rating systems used to describe soil and the classification of soils.

It's not uncommon for Old Dominion coach Bobby Wilder to show his players video of individual opponents he respects and admires, or even to hold up individuals on other teams as examples of what the Monarchs should emulate.
Wilder has such a player this week in New Hampshire linebacker Matt Evans, who the Monarchs face Saturday in the CAA opener for both teams.
"He's as good as any linebacker I've seen in all the years I've coached," Wilder said.
Evans, a 6-foot, 228-pound senior from Hanover, Mass., won the Buchanan Award last season as the top defensive player in the Football Championship Subdivision – the counterpart to the annual Payton Award, which goes to the top offensive player.
That a defensive player from a program better known for its varied and imaginative offenses won a national award speaks to Evans' productivity, as well as other qualities that are hard to define.
"The only way I can explain it," UNH coach Sean McDonnell said, "is he's a football player."
Evans is a tackling machine, a player who goes sideline to sideline and is rarely out of position or out of a play.
"The thing that I appreciate the most about him is that tackles are really important to him," McDonnell said. "It's a funny thing to say, but the kid wants to make every tackle he can."
Evans' productivity is a result of desire and experience. He's played football since second grade, and not just played, but studied the game.
"A lot of it comes second nature to me," Evans said. "I've been playing for a while. I think my instincts are pretty good. I usually have a good idea where a play is going to happen. I rely on my instincts and speed to the ball."
Evans totaled 165 tackles last season and led FCS with an average of 7.67 solo tackles per game. He had 19 tackles against league champ Towson and 24 against Lehigh, 17 of which were solo. He finished with double-figure tackles in 10 of UNH's 12 games last season.
"He's fun to watch," Wilder said. "I really enjoy watching his video. He just never stops. That kid is relentless. That's the type of player – I said this to our guys in the team meeting (Sunday) night – I said that's the way you want to play the game, the way this guy plays. He's non-stop to the football. Every play, when the play ends, he's somewhere around the ball. Whether he's making the tackle or he's getting there a little bit late when the play ends."
Statistically, Evans isn't off to the kind of start this season that he had a year ago. He has 27 total stops, tied for fourth in the CAA, and had nine in the Wildcats' loss at Minnesota. Though his numbers aren't stratospheric, he is playing exceptionally and must be accounted for on every play.
"I'm blessed," McDonnell said. "I'm very fortunate to be able to coach a kid like him."
McDonnell will also tell you he had no idea that he had a Buchanan Award winner and All-American when Evans arrived. He saw qualities such as pursuit and productivity in Evans' high school video, but said he left it up to former defensive coordinator Sean McGowan to decide whether Evans was worth a scholarship offer. McGowan thought he was.
Evans was a three-sport standout in high school and arrived at UNH as an undersized, 6-foot, 207-pound linebacker candidate. He redshirted as a freshman, gradually put on weight and got accustomed to the college game.
McDonnell said that Evans made major improvements between his redshirt freshman and sophomore seasons. He recalled a play against James Madison as a sophomore, where Evans blitzed and got caught in the backfield as the Dukes converted a screen pass. Evans wheeled, caught the running back 20 yards downfield and punched the ball out for a fumble.
"When you watch a play like that, you see the kid gets it," McDonnell said.
Though Evans isn't physically imposing, he is faster than you think and he has a knack for slipping blocks. His instincts allow him to play quicker and more efficiently than maybe his physical gifts would suggest.
"I've improved every year and I'm a hard worker," Evans said. "I think I take things like people not expecting certain things out of me because I'm a little bit smaller, I use it and play with a chip on my shoulder and try to be the best player I can be."
The chip earned him the Buchanan Award last year, putting his name alongside past winners such as Jared Allen, Kroy Biermann, Rashean Mathis and Dexter Coakley.
"Very cool, very humbling," Evans said. "It's awesome to be mentioned with those players. It's an honor to have your name alongside those guys. Hopefully, I can be as good a player as they are."
Evans has a chance to be only the second two-time winner of the award. Coakley, the former Appalachian State star and longtime pro with the Dallas Cowboys and St. Louis Rams, won the first two Buchanan Awards.
When asked if he thinks about repeating, Evans replied, "In the back of my mind, I guess. But the team definitely comes first. We want to win the CAA, win the national championship. But that's kind of a back-burner goal, personally. I put the team first and want to improve the defense from last year."

A call for all of those who miss good roleplay, writing storylines, politics, darkness, no pew-pew, to put aside the differences created along all these years and join in this project so all may have fun once again. Nothing that ever happened during roleplay in sims can be tagged as more than petty disagreements if you come to think of it and releasing it from our backs can be a great and refreshing start.
Traveling around Gor, I've come across this place and I think all should look at it. No, it's not mine
Sim Owner/Builder/OOC Administrator: 'Єιr' (nisuliel)
SLURL: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/O ... /72/212/55
ETA: Sim is already open for roleplay, pending recruitment
Size: 1/2 full sim
The Anarion Daorith Outpost is located into the Piedmont along the spine route nestled into the mountains, with many water way connections and the beginning of the Northern Forest.
It is administered by bustling, trading system that will be associated with mixtures of various races and backgrounds all over Gor. It is influenced by a dark set of the gorean times. The Outpost is governed by trade, as you enter at your own risk; the coin can flip anytime. This includes many roles such as: Mercenaries, Pirates, Thieves, Merchants, Killers, Assassins, Torturers, Cut-Throats, Outcasts, you name it.
Combat System
ZCS Meter system will be used for this sim. We highly encouraged the use of the Roleplay Dice featured within the HUD for combat over the use of metered combat. Quality is always above quantity. Think realistically when you fight your opponent. All conflict should be dealt with via text (non-combative situations) and COMPLETELY IC in a mature manner between the players. If someone refuses to honor a win or has fought unfairly, please refer notifying the sim owner 'Єιr' (nisuliel) as she will reserve the right on final decision fairly.
Currently Recruiting
All Castes and leadership positions.

The fiscal cliff roadshow
The two top fiscal cliff deal makers are meeting with everybody they can find — except each other.
President Barack Obama is talking this week with small-business owners, Wall Street honchos and middle-class taxpayers before flying to Pennsylvania on Friday to see a toy manufacturer. House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) and his leadership team are consulting with the some of the same executives who are meeting with Obama.
Story Continued Below
But face-to-face negotiations between the players best able to avert a fiscal cliff that's just 33 days away? Nowhere in sight.
This is the public relations phase of the latest fiscal showdown in Washington, where direct engagement is no longer viewed as the optimal route to reaching a deal. As Wall Street shudders and Congress once again risks looking feckless in the face of crisis, both sides are locked in a battle to win over key interest groups — and the public.
( Also on POLITICO: Cliff dive doesn't appeal to White House)
It's an outside-in strategy — the reverse of the inside-out strategy that collapsed the last time Obama and Boehner tried to craft a big budget deal.
The approach carries risks, given the short timetable, the complexity of piecing together a deal and the challenge of lining up enough votes for a controversial package that could include tax hikes and entitlement cuts. The lack of visible movement could rattle Wall Street and Main Street, both of which will face $500 billion in spending cuts and tax increases in the new year if Obama and Congress can't reach an agreement.
And it could cause both sides to dig in as the rhetoric increasingly shifts from conciliatory to confrontational.
( See also: Reid: Tie debt ceiling, fiscal cliff)
"It seems like our friends on the other side are having some difficulty turning off the campaign," Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) told reporters Tuesday. "We need to sit down and work this matter out. I think we have a clear sense that there's an opportunity here at the end of the year to do something important for the country. … So I would hope our friends on the other side can kind of turn off the campaign and get into a cooperative mode here to reach a conclusion."
The White House isn't taking McConnell's advice.
Obama agreed to direct talks with Boehner during the 2011 debt limit showdown — and spent little time making his case to the public. In the White House's view, the president suffered deeply when he came up short.
Hoping to avoid a repeat, Obama is attempting to leverage public opinion against congressional Republicans, divide their ranks and cast them as the obstacle to continuing a tax break for 98 percent of Americans. When the pressure gets too intense, the White House expects Republicans to fold, just as they did last December when Obama used social media and campaign-style events to win a renewal of the payroll tax cut.
The White House's strategy is a carbon copy of the payroll tax cut fight, down to a new Twitter campaign and video testimonials from average citizens on what an income tax hike would mean to them. Obama will use an event Wednesday to call on Americans to share their stories with the Twitter hashtag #My2K, which refers to the $2,200 tax hike that could hit a family of four if the Bush-era tax cuts aren't renewed by Jan. 1.

A month or so ago, I tried the PURE Chocolate Brownie Bar. I wrote a review here. This time I tried the the Cherry Cashew version. I was super impressed!! I got a picture of the wrapper this AM, but had eaten it yesterday on our trip back while it was still dark out, so no picture of the bar itself. The flavor & chunks in this bar are amazing! I like these much better than the Cherry Pie Lara Bars. Now, I am not dissing my Lara Bars, because they do hold a special place in my heart (especially that chocolate coffee flavor & the peanut butter cookie, too).
The Cherry Cashew bar is organic,raw, vegan, has 1.5 servings of fruit, omega-3s, 4 grams of fiber & 6 grams of protein per bar. What a bang for your buck (or $2, depending on where you get them)!! I like to keep these on hand for emergency situations……no safe food or healthy choices (while Frito's & Snicker's are both gluten-free, they don't qualify as healthy choices for emergency snacks or meal replacements). Obviously this bar would not hold me over for more than 2-3 hours, but it will do the trick in a pinch. What I did yesterday was I ate a banana at 5:30 AM or so, then I opened the bar around 7:30 or so and then did lunch around 11:30 AM. I could have probably eaten lunch sooner, but being on the road for 12 hours and having to find a place to stop & use the restroom didn't allow for it.
I highly recommend this bar and can't wait to try more PURE Bar flavors. Maybe the PURE Bar people want to send me some samples to review (hint, hint). 😉 LOL!

The United Nations has teamed up with youth groups, private sector bodies and NGO partners all over the world to launch MY World, which is the United Nations Survey for a Better World. MY World asks citizens everywhere about the issues that make the most difference to their lives.
As the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) continue to mobilize global action on fighting poverty and enhancing livelihoods, efforts are also underway to include citizens' voices in the global debate for the development agenda after the MDGs target date of 2015.
MY World is anonymous and asks participants only for their gender, age and country, to allow for disaggregation of data. The data will be presented global leaders and will paint an accurate global picture of the top six issues that impact people's lives the most.
The survey is currently available online in the seven UN official languages – English, Spanish, Korean, French, Arabic, Russian and Chinese–with more to come. Voters can take the survey via phone, (through SMS and calling toll-free phone numbers), and in paper form through a network of grassroots organizations, faith-based communities, youth groups, private sector bodies and NGO partners around the world.
MY World aims to be a simple entry point for ordinary citizens to engage in the post-2015 development process while also introducing voters to the World We Want web platform– a joint initiative between the UN and Civil Society where citizens and stakeholders are participating in a more extensive and interactive post-2015 debate.
Results from MY World will be submitted to the Secretary-General's High-level Panel on the Post-2015 Development Agenda during their meetings in Monrovia, Jakarta and New York. It is intended that findings from the global survey will be considered by the panel before presenting their final report to the UN Secretary-General.
In the run up to 2015, MY World will continue gathering people's voices and results will be shared with the Secretary-General and other global leaders. This initiative is coordinated by UNDP, the United Nations Millennium Campaign, ODI and the Web Foundation – with the support of partners across the world.
The United Nations and partners invite citizens everywhere to take the survey, and join the post-2015 process to define the world we want after 2015.

Governments should strengthen protected areas as a way to save their countries' species. That was the message from IUCN as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) starts to discuss protected areas at its ninth meeting in Bonn.
Protected areas now cover 11.63% of the Earth's terrestrial surface, but David Sheppard, Head of IUCN's Programme on Protected Areas, says he is concerned that significant gaps remain, particularly in marine, freshwater and coastal areas.
He says that this meeting should call for a renewal of political commitment to strengthen protected areas to conserve biodiversity. The meeting should also call for countries to step up efforts to make sure protected areas are being managed effectively, according to IUCN.
"We need parties to the CBD to recognize the benefits of protected areas to their national economies and well-being of their local populations," says David Sheppard. "They need to fund the protected area system accordingly."
IUCN is also calling for the CBD to address the failure to increase the number of Marine Protected Areas in the High Seas. Currently, protected areas in the marine environment are less than 1% of the waters under the jurisdiction of coastal states and virtually non-existent in the high seas (areas beyond national jurisdiction).
The 2007 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™ includes 41,415 species of which 16,306 are threatened with extinction. Protected areas are an essential means to address this crisis and this must be better recognized and supported within the CBD, according to IUCN.

High-speed sports car chases, fast and furious aerobatics, imaginative trips into volcanos, and snow skiing — these are just a few of the simulated experiences you may encounter at a shopping mall, entertainment complex, tourist attraction, or amusement park. Motion simulators provide these thrills and spills by reproducing the sights, sounds, and feelings of motion to create the impression of any of dozens of fast-paced experiences. Unlike their larger, more sophisticated cousins you'll find permanently installed at major theme parks around the world, portable motion simulators can be moved from one location to another and cost but a fraction of their high-end counterparts.
At the low-end of these portable simulators are models with enticing high-tech graphics and low-tech, electromechanical motion bases. These units require the lowest monetary investment from owners and are inexpensive to operate, but they can only handle one or two people per cycle. They also provide an entertainment experience that leaves a lot to be desired because motion may be sluggish and participants may not be completely enveloped by visual and audio effects..
On the other hand, multiple-passenger portable motion simulators provide a much more sophisticated and believable experience. Highly-responsive, multi-axis actuation produces realistic perceptions of motion, and participants are isolated from the outside environment and completely surrounded by the sights and sounds of the simulated experience. Furthermore, these simulators have a much higher throughput — 12 or more people per cycle — but carry a much higher price tag and can be cumbersome to transport from one location to another.
A market left untapped lies somewhere in between — an easily transportable simulator that can handle more than one or two people at a time, but has a purchase price and operating cost in the neighborhood of a two-person electromechanical simulator. This hole in the market has been filled by the Transport 6 portable motion simulator from Doron Precision Systems Inc., Binghamton, N.Y. The Transport 6 holds six people, so it boasts a much greater throughput than one- or two-person simulators. However, the Transport 6 carries a price tag competitive with a high-end, two-person simulator.
Donald Wenzinger, vice president of domestic entertainment simulator sales at Doron, says the Transport 6 is light enough to be rolled on its casters from one location to another by only two people and is small enough to fit through standard double doors. David C. Byerly, senior mechanical systems engineer, adds that once the Transport 6 arrives at its destination, setup is simple because its low center of gravity means it does not have to be bolted to a foundation, and it operates from widely available single-phase, 230-V power.
Advantages of hydraulics
Motion simulators that handle one or two people at a time generally are actuated electromechanically. Loads are light enough that a variable-speed motorized ballscrew provides an economical drive package for each axis. Hydraulics could work in these applications, but would cost more and offer little or no performance advantage. Once power requirements enter the 3- to 5-hp range, however, hydraulics can drive multiple axes at higher performance, lower cost, or both.
Doron engineers evaluated electromechanical systems when they first entered the entertainment market in the mid 1970s. According to Byerly, hydraulics was the clear choice for most applications. "Electromechanical systems definitely have gained some ground. But even when an electromechanical drive offers the performance we need at a reasonable price, we have found hydraulics to be the most reliable and responsive drive system. Hydraulic actuators also take up less space than a motor and ballscrew, and we can always find space to locate the hydraulic power unit."
Byerly also cites service life as an advantage hydraulics has over electromechanical systems for these applications. "Life of a ballscrew is rated like a bearing: a finite number of cycles, distance traveled, or hours of operation. Maintaining proper lubrication, cleanliness, and alignment is essential to a ballscrew achieving its rated life. A carefully engineered hydraulic system, on the other hand, excludes contaminants and filters out those that do happen to get into the oil. Ballscrews do not have this opportunity to remove contaminants unless a sophisticated pressurized lubrication system is incorporated."
Wenzinger explains that manufacturers of electromechanical motion simulators often attempt to gain a competitive edge by presenting leakage and noise as major disadvantages inherent to hydraulically powered motion simulators. "But," reveals Byerly, "leakage has not been a problem with our simulators as long as they are installed and maintained properly. We use O-ring type fittings to prevent leakage, and rod seals hold up well because they normally are not subjected to anything real hostile. It's not like a backhoe, where mud and sand get caked onto the rod. Our literature specifies that the simulators should be installed in relatively clean environments. One operates near an ocean-side boardwalk. But because it is inside a tent, it is not exposed directly to the sandy, salty atmosphere of a marine environment — and it doesn't leak. So our systems are helping to dispel the myth that hydraulic systems have to be messy.
"Also, noise has not been a big concern. With hydraulics, most of the noise is generated by the hydraulic power unit. Granted, the power unit makes more noise than a single ballscrew and motor assembly. But with hydraulics, noise comes from a single source, so it is easier to isolate than noise coming multiple sources and different directions, as is the case with a simulator using multiple motorized ballscrews."
Lights, camera, action
Wenzinger says that many simulators provide six axes of motion. "But because a full six axes of motion are difficult for the human senses to detect, we chose three axes for the Transport 6 — roll, pitch, and vertical translation. These provide the best dynamics for a realistic simulation of motion. Although six axes might add a little to a rider's experience, it would add substantially to the cost and certainly price the Transport 6 right out of its intended market.
"With its three degrees of freedom motion system, the Transport 6 provides a believable sensation of motion. After all, most of the sensation of motion comes from the visual presentation; the physical motion primarily reinforces the motion implied by the visuals. But it is important that the physical motion be carefully executed and in close synchronization with the visuals, otherwise, participants could develop motion sickness."
Byerly reveals that the visual portion of the program is shot on 35-mm film, edited, and recorded on laser videodisc. He says that if programs were shot directly on video tape, images would be limited by the image quality of the tape. The 35-mm film, however, has much greater resolution and color reproduction than video tape does. So the high-quality images captured on film can be used for future programs that will use high-definition video equipment. Along with the visual images, a high-fidelity soundtrack is stored on the videodisc, as is an electronic index of each video frame.
To create the Transport 6's motion, programmers play the videodisc and maneuver joysticks to tilt the motion base left, right, up, or down while watching the video display. This is done in segments, so portions can be re-recorded, merged together, and fine-tuned to achieve a motion profile that closely matches what is seen in the video. The finished motion profile is then electronically stored in a motion controller. The motion controller then re-creates the programmed motions by commanding the proportional valves, which direct hydraulic fluid flow into and out of the cylinders. The control loop is closed by a linear-displacement transducer (LDT) mounted alongside each cylinder. The motion controller compares cylinder feedback signals from the LDTs to those electronically stored in the motion profile.
A proprietary computer controls and monitors overall operation. The computer does not command the motion controller to begin the motion sequence unless all interlocks have been closed. These include switches to indicate that doors are closed and latched, cylinders are in the home position, etc. Once the motion program begins, the computer monitors operation by comparing feedback signals from each LDT to programmed values at each video index increment. These updates occur up to 30 times per second.
Hydraulics hardware
Driving the Transport 6's hydraulic system is 3-hp electric motor close-coupled to a variable-displacement, axial-piston pump. A 10-gallon reservoir provides a constant source of fluid, and a heat exchanger keeps fluid at a temperature well below what would be considered hot. A 5-gal. accumulator with a 650-psi precharge supplements pump flow when needed during brief periods when flow to 15 gpm is needed.
Pump — The hydraulic system is driven by a Bosch Rexroth A10V10 pump. It has a maximum displacement of 10cc/rev. and features pressure compensation to stroke the pump to zero displacement when pressure reaches the compensator setting - in this case, 1000 psi. According to Jon Yuhas, manager of Rexroth's Northeast Technical Office, Nashua, N.H., the pump's noise reduction features make it especially appropriate for the application.
He says that the geometry of the pump's timing plate dampens pressure changes that occur when fluid rapidly becomes pressurized and depressurized as it moves through the pump. Left uncorrected, these rapid pressure fluctuations produce ripple — a significant source of pump noise. The A10V10 pump also has wide flow passages to reduce turbulent flow, another potential cause of pump noise.
Yuhas continues by pointing out that the close coupling also is important. The electric motor's end plate is configured into an SAE A flange - a two-bolt configuration with splined shaft. The pump mates directly to the motor, and because a shaft coupling is not needed, noise otherwise generated by the coupling is eliminated. Yuhas states that the pump is so quiet that it makes less noise than the 3-hp electric motor driving it.
Further contributing to quiet operation is the actual design of the hydraulic system. System pressure is limited to only 1000 psi, even though all components are rated for at least 3000 psi. The relatively low pressure tends to produce quiet operation, and the pump runs at near zero displacement for much of an operating cycle. Operating the pump at near zero displacement not only generates less noise, but keeps the hydraulic system running cool.
Proportional valves — From the pump and accumulator charge/discharge circuit, fluid then is routed in parallel to three double-solenoid, spring-centered proportional valves. Yuhas reveals that the valves, Rexroth 4WREE6-V, have a chamfer and notches on the corners of the spool. These features create essentially a zero-lapped spool to provide maximum response while preventing internal port-to-port leakage - which could otherwise cause cylinder positioning error. An integral LVDT enables the valve to self-correct any spool position error by monitoring spool position.
Yuhas adds that on-board electronics compensate for flow irregularities when the valve shifts through its center position. This simplifies control wiring because the valve can be run directly by the analog signal from Doron's proprietary computer control.
In addition to the proportional flow capabilities of the valves, metering valves are piped in series to each cylinder port. These serve as safety devices to limit flow to 5 gpm from the cap end and 3 gpm from the rod end of each cylinder.
Cylinders — Finally, fluid reaches three double-acting cylinders, each with a 1½-in. bore, 10-in. stroke and 1-in. rod. Cushions built into both ends of each cylinder limit deceleration in the unlikely event of system failure. Motion is transmitted from the cylinders to the motion platform through spherical rod ends. A large, centrally located universal joint constrains the three axes of motion and works in concert with the spherical rod ends to prevent side loading, which could reduce cylinder life and reliability.
Position feedback — Doron engineers chose to use a potentiometric LDT for position feedback. Sometimes referred to as linear pots, these LDTs are among the most compact and least expensive designs for providing a continuous feedback signal indicative of piston position. A non-contact LDT — such as a magnetostrictive design - could have been used, but would have increased the cost of the system substantially.
Often, motion bases mount the LDT inside the cylinder. This is done to conserve space and protect the LDT from a potentially hostile environment. It is more costly to mount the LDT inside the cylinder, so Doron opted for the external mounting because space was available alongside the cylinder and the environment is not hostile.
Byerly explains that, "The linear pot delivers the performance and life necessary for all applications of the Transport 6. And because the LDT is not mounted inside the cylinder, it's easy to replace. This takes very little time, and the cost to replace the linear pot even two or three times still is far less than the initial cost of a single non-contacting LDT."
Because these simulators are portable, Byerly says, most components are readily accessible. "If it took a lot of time and effort to change an LDT, we could justify paying the higher price of a non-contact LDT. But most components on these machines are very accessible, so service and maintenance is quick and easy. I understand, though, that this is not the case with equipment mounted permanently in an area with limited accessibility. In cases like those, you would need to use as many components as possible with an infinite life rating because having to service or replace them would be expensive. So in a way, the portable configuration is somewhat of a luxury from a design and maintenance standpoint."
Filtration — As with any hydraulic system, the hydraulics of the Transport 6 relies on clean fluid for high reliability and long life. Byerly explains, "We don't do anything fancy with filtration. We have to deal with the usual airborne contaminants and occasional debris that works its way into the working envelope of the cylinders." The standard filtration package for the Transport 6 consists of a 10-µm breather cap and a 10-µm pressure filter just downstream from the pump.
"Probably the greatest potential source of contamination is when a simulator is transported from one location to another, explains Byerly. "About the only places where contaminants can enter the hydraulic system are at the piston rods and reservoir breather. Neither presents a problem, though. When a simulator is transported, all cylinders are in their fully retracted position, and we provide a cover to be placed on the breather to seal it. This isolates the reservoir from the environment when the machine is in transit.
All-around benefits
One of the keys to making the Transport 6 price competitive with electromechanical simulators was keeping the design and construction simple. The higher performance of hydraulics produces a better experience for riders, and its six-passenger seating makes the Transport 6 by far a better value than its electromechanical competitors. Its portability and single-phase electrical operation make it easy to install.
But the benefits of the Transport 6 go beyond those that can be realized by owners and passengers. Its high reliability, leak-free operation, and easy maintainability make the Transport 6 a convincing example that hydraulic systems can offer high performance without the negative stereotypes often associated with them.

"I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year." – Charles Dickens, Ebenezer Scrooge, A Christmas Carol.
We all know the story of Ebenezer Scrooge and How the Grinch Stole Christmas. We've all watched a Charlie Brown's Christmas, and a few of us have seen Tokyo Godfathers. But as we start the count down to the seasons (yes, lots of people begin the count down to the next one as soon as the previous one is over and some of us have already begun our Christmas shopping), I am left wondering why "naughty" children get coal for Christmas.
After all coal is a useful thing.
The Sicilian tradition tracks back to pre-Christian Italy. There, La Befana, an old woman, would go around and leave light and fluffy candy for "nice" children and pieces of a dark candy or coal for the "naughty" ones (Note: Most of the history of the legend is shrouded in the mist of time. Other places such as Holland have also claimed to have begun the ritual).
Coal has many more uses than being given to "naughty" children. In America it is mostly used to create electricity. You may ask yourself, "how do they produce electricity with a darkly colored piece of rock?" Good Question!! Here is how.
|Anthracite Coal
Coal is a combustible sedimentary rock that is made from decayed plant matter that accumulated at the bottom of bodies of water, such as ponds or swamps. Coal takes millions of years to form, so while there will be a little more available in the future neither I nor my 10^2,000,000 grandchild will be able to use it (her name will be Carol, by the way).
There are four main types of coal. Anthracite coal is around 90% carbon. Of the coals, it burns the hottest, but only makes up about half of a percent of the coal used. Bituminous coal makes up 50% of the coal production in the United States and is used to turn turbines to make electricity. Sub-bituminous coal accounts for about 46% of coal production, but does not produce as much heat as Bituminous. Lignite is the youngest of the coal and holds the least carbon. There are other types of coal and coal related rocks. Graphite is a coal, but its ignition point is so high, it is rarely used as fuel. Coal and diamonds are both carbon products, but it would take a Superman to make coal into diamonds while you watch.
Coal has been used for 6,000 years. Its first use was as jewelry in China. The Romans used it as a heating source. Coal is best known as being the fuel supply for the Industrial Revolution in Europe.
|Surface Coal Mine

Coal is usually found underground. Most coal mines in the United States are surface mined. A surface mine is where you remove the surface and dig a large open air pit to get to a deposit – in this case coal.
In the present day, coal is mainly used to produce electricity. About 40% of the world's electricity and 50% of the United States' electricity come from coal.
How does coal produce electricity? The coal is burned for its heat. The heat is used to turn water into steam. The steam is used to turn a turbine, which produces the electricity.
So how efficient is coal at producing energy? A kilogram of coal produces about 2 kilowatt hours of electricity. It would take about 1 ton of coal to run a 100 watt light bulb for a year. (Natural Gas produces about 3.1 kilowatt hours per kilogram.)
It could make a light that yonder window breaks.
|photo credit: ReneS
Coal when burned emits a lot of undesirable emissions. 2000 pounds (1 ton that is used to keep a light bulb on for a year) of coal will produce about 5,720 pounds of carbon dioxide. Burning coal also produce sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide, both of which are harmful gases. Particulate matter, also know as fly ash, is left over as well.
So why would we use coal?
We use it here in America, because America has the largest coal reserves. It is somewhat easy to mine and does not require a lot of refining to make it a usable fuel. Also coal remains a cheap way to produce electricity.
America is no longer the largest user of coal. China surpassed America in coal consumption in 2008.
Over the years the coal industry has developed ways to capture the harmful gases. Scrubbers remove the sulfur before it can become sulfur dioxide and catalytic converters take out the nitrogen. The particulate matter is now collected and sold to different companies which include cement makers, embankment producers, and many others. They are also creating ways to capture and store the carbon dioxide before it enters the atmosphere. The captured carbon dioxide can be used for many different things including improved oil recovery and even conversion into fuel.
The use of coal in electricity production is projected to rise over time. It will rise mainly because the need for energy will rise. Energy consumption will continue to rise with population growth and industrial development.

Although he's only in preschool, 4-year-old Harrison Arnholt has already established himself as an opera singer.
During his debut Friday at May River Montessori's presentation of "A Soup Opera," Harrison and 15 of his classmates performed for an audience of about 30 people, including parents and other family members.
The performance was part of the class's mission to raise money for its rainforest garden, a project teachers Deborah Urato and Cindy Steinmetz have been working on for about four years. In 2007, Urato won an $800 grant from Palmetto Electric as part of its Bright Ideas initiative to build the garden.
"We put in the basic structure of the garden, and now we're fundraising so that we can buy plants so we can make this really look like a jungle," she said a reception after the Friday performance.
Urato said a child brought the book "A Soup Opera" to class one day and asked if they could read it.
"They came in for days (after) singing 'I can't eat this soup!' and so I had the idea maybe we can perform it," Urato said. The book comes with a CD for use during performances.
The older children in the class — ages 4 and 5 — practiced for two weeks, Steinmetz said.
During the reception afterward, the children and their families enjoyed the wood structure that outlines the soon-to-be rainforest garden. Urato said Cally Heppner, who has two children at the Montessori school, offered her expertise as a landscape architect to design the garden. Heppner's husband, who owns a construction company, had workers build it.
"We only had to pay for the materials," Urato said.
The goal is to grow plants that grow in the rainforest such as cinnamon and vanilla, she said. The curriculum unit for the month of April is about the rainforest, from animals to plants, Urato said.
"The children get very, very conscientious about wanting to conserve the Earth. They become good stewards of the Earth, and that's my aim," she said.

The first violins should improve in their dynamics. Accents should be emphasized. So far it sounds ok, but with more work we can sound better!
- March 19, 2012 at 12:52 PM

In general, the group should work on dynamics and intonation as well as observing the full value of notes and rests. Coming in early makes it sound a bit sloppy. With more practice it can improve.
- March 19, 2012 at 1:42 PM

In general this was a solid performance. The second and first violins should pay attention to rythms that they are playing. Sometimes the recording sounded as though two different rythms were being played. Beyond that the usual intonation and dynamics would improve this piece.

- Haley Miller said...
For Lady Madonna, the melody has to be tighter. It's sort of like popcorn with everyone playing slightly different rhythms. For Michelle, first violins have to work on dynamics, primarily being softer, because that's going to really effect the emotional impact of the song. Also, being piano in the right spots will allow the lower instruments when they have the melody or when they have harmony to be heard and add depth to the piece. Also, when the cellos have the melody they should play out even more so they aren't over powered by the violins.

I think that up until about 40 seconds into the recording we generally stayed together and people were listening to each other. Once the higher notes hit however, the first violins fell apart and remained apart for about ten seconds. They were pitchy and no longer listening to one another which might have thrown off other sections. Other than that I think that overall it was good. Once we get the notes in tune and we start listening to each other then we can work on accents and dynamics so it'll sound much better.

Coming at the beginning, we're all rather scattered, and don't all come in together. We're getting better at following the changes in tempo, but there are no dynamics whatsoever. Violins need to work on not coming in early or late whenever we have rests.

The violins overpowered the the cellos and the bases so it was very hard to hear them at all. also the second violins in Michelle seemed to get a bit lost and out of sync sounded. All of the instruments need to work on the high notes they sound squeaky. There was a nice transition from Michelle into the Sgt pepper.

We need to work on the precision of notes (by listening to people around us and watching Ms. Minnis), and we definitely need to work on intonation. If we play the notes wrong, it will never sound right!
- March 19, 2012 at 5:07 PM
- Christine I said...
We need to work on coming to the song all together, instead of sounding all over the place. Second violins should also work on their dynamics, I can hardly hear them. By practicing these things more we should sound better.
- March 19, 2012 at 5:12 PM
- Luisa C said...
The beginning could use a little more work on dynamics and rhythm in general. Also throughout the piece, it would sound more dramatic and interesting if there were more dynamics. Also during the "Michelle" part of the song, the violins should really try and connect their notes and listen to each other.

I thnk the beginnong was great, i t is loaud, crisp, and full of energy! But i feel like in Michelle the cellos and basses are being overpowered and are barely heard. Also a few times during the middle it sounds as if everyone is playing a slight variation of the real song so it does not go well together. However, all together i think it sounded very strong and the transition between the first two pieces was good!

- Alex Molwitz said...
The violins seem too loud, and we aren't together enough.
- March 19, 2012 at 6:40 PM
- cjanson said...
Intro wasn't together. The long notes that are held out are very flat--not in the sense of intonation, but there's nothing happening with them. They just go on, without an artistic feel. Second violins need to be more confident with their harmonies. Balance issue on cello solo. We should explore phrasing, which involves dynamics and articulation.
- March 19, 2012 at 6:55 PM
- Daniel T said...
The intro sounded good. Although after that we lost the beat a little bit. The basses and cellos I felt were holding out the notes too long, which slowed the tune down a bit.
- March 19, 2012 at 7:01 PM
- Emma said...
I think we really need to work on articulation and intonation-the notes don't sound very crisp at the moment. We also need to listen to each other and make sure we (the violins) aren't overpowering the other sections. In addition, we need to watch Ms. Minnis and focus on the dynamics and that'll help improve the song
- March 19, 2012 at 7:35 PM
- Sofia M. said...
I thought that we sounded pretty good except in someparts. Overall , i believe we should practice on dynamics. thoughout the piece we stayed at the same dynamic, which made it kind of boring. Second violins should increase their volume; I could not hear them. Also, at measure 19, the pitch/intonation was really off. It made me shiver. At measure 60, I think the cellos should increase their volume since they have the melody.
- March 19, 2012 at 8:38 PM
- Hanna V. said...
We need to work more on dynamics. The crescendos and decrescendos should be more exaggerated,especially in the first five meaures. Our tempo needs some work too; the beginning sounded really disorganized, especially in measures 16-22, though we got better at the begnning of Michelle. The second violins need to pay more attention to timing in measures 50-55 as well.
- March 19, 2012 at 9:07 PM
- Arthur Cassidy said...
The beginning was solid in terms of rhythm and staying together, and we seemed to be able to keep that up throughout the majority of the song. However there were parts where people seemed to playing wrong or out of tune notes, and it really stood out. Also, we should try and pay more attention to dynamics to make the song more interesting.
- March 19, 2012 at 9:10 PM
- Paula T said...
Over all it sounds pretty good as a whole although every section should work on counting a bit more so it doesn't sound off or not not in unison at some parts
- March 19, 2012 at 9:20 PM
- Nick Vilter said...
the basses and violins are never together; there needs to be one universal tempo shared by all sections. this could easily be done by listening and by looking up at ms. minnis when she conducts.
- March 19, 2012 at 9:47 PM
- Jesse S said...
the song sounded good, but is also felt as if the tempo was off in the different sections.
- March 19, 2012 at 9:53 PM
- Caroline W. said...
We should work to be more together as an entire group and listen to each other. Also, dynamics need to be worked on.
- March 19, 2012 at 10:40 PM
- seany lee said...
The intonation needs more work, especially when we start at the beginning of the whole song. Greater dynamic changes need to be improved. Michelle, the phrasing was pretty nice, but the ensemble broke the unison since the start, with some staggered entrances from each section.
- March 19, 2012 at 10:44 PM
- Amanda Lee said...
The higher notes were all pitchy and out of tune for all the instruments. So in general, all of the sections should work on coming in at the right times and fixing fingering so the notes sound better in unison.
- March 19, 2012 at 10:46 PM
- Alison L said...
Overall, the group needs to be more together and have a larger dynamic range. The violins/violas often seemed to be coming in at slightly different times when they had the same rhythm. Also, the violins do seem to overpower the cellos when the cellos have the melody. In general, the intonation could be much better.
- March 19, 2012 at 10:47 PM
- Alice W said...
In general the notes can be a lot tighter - if we keep a steady rhythm and use less bow on the eighth notes in Lady Madonna, with more practice we can improve. Also for several places where we have the same note several times in a row, we can do some more phrasing to make it more interesting, like a crescendo for instance.
- March 19, 2012 at 10:48 PM
- Doug Phipps said...
The rhythms were loose and made for a piece lacking in cohesiveness. The dynamics were also weak.
- March 20, 2012 at 5:11 PM
- Ryoyoyo said...
In general, I think the bass line can be much stronger. For example, in Lady Madonna, the cello part gives the piece its energy and tempo. If that were tighter and more articulate, we'll sound better for Lady Madonna.
In Michelle, the 1st violins can work a lot on dynamics and expressiveness. The viola in this section can be played out louder.
- March 20, 2012 at 5:24 PM
- Alex K said...
All parts sounded uncertain/off-beat when coming in after rests, and were temporarily out of sync with other parts. Also, the 1st and 2nd violins' melody was not always in tune.
- March 20, 2012 at 6:14 PM
- Victoria Chao said...
In the opening measures the violins aren't in sync, but we had a strong, loud entrance. The intonation of the first violins at :44-:48 needs work. The dynamics throughout the whole piece are one-dimensional, we need to add more color and depth. The cellos' intonation at 2:33-2:35 needs work and they have to sound more assertive, since they have the melody. Overall, we should fix our dynamics and our intonation.
- March 20, 2012 at 7:16 PM
- Justin Lee said...
I think the problem that e orchestra is facing is not sticking together. Everyone just needs to pay attention to ms. Minnis and remember to look up. Overall though, we had great dynamics that were profound enough to be distinctive but not enough to make it very obvious.
- March 20, 2012 at 7:55 PM
- Owen Brannigan said...
I feel like the overall performance was ok. At some points we were out of tune and I think the transitions between songs could be more concise. Also at the beginning of Lady Madonna it seemed like the basses or cellos were a little behind everyone else. I think we all need to watch Ms. Minnis and accent our dynamics. If we do that we'll be looking good by the time disney rolls around
- March 20, 2012 at 8:05 PM
- Alex O said...
I think that articulation could be improved as well as intonation. During the recording (:46) and (2:07) lacked articulation and good intonation. Other than this the pieces are very strong and with a bit more practice, these problems will be fixed.
- March 20, 2012 at 8:06 PM
- Nicolai O. said...
I think that there is a lot of tension between the first and second violins and we need to work on making sure the harmonies are together. Also, all sections should work on brining out the melodies. We also need precise rhythms to make sure that everything stays in sync.
- March 20, 2012 at 8:31 PM
- Emily M said...
I think in Lady Madonna, we should emphasize on the tempo and staying together. I think we could have worked better in the beginning. I think we could also work on our rhythms, however other than that i thought it was good.
- March 20, 2012 at 8:38 PM
- Dylan Gilhooly said...
ON the whole the piece sounded well. The second violins need to work on intonation and keeping on the beat As a group we need to work on dynamics.
- March 20, 2012 at 9:00 PM
- Claire L said...
I think in the beginning the whole orchestra should work on sounding more unified, once Lady Madonna actually starts it's pretty good but those first few measures need to improve. I also think that the viola solo in Michelle could work on the rhythm and then on being louder. As a whole, it sounded pretty good though.
- March 20, 2012 at 9:01 PM
- Matt Ross said...
I think that overall, it was a good performance. I think we could be stronger in the intro, and during the viola/cello solos in Lady Madonna and Michelle we (violas/cellos) could be louder, and the violins could play softer. Overall, though, it was a solid performance.
- March 20, 2012 at 9:26 PM
- Anonymous said...
Dynamics? What are those? ...Just kidding. But I heard little to no audible change in dynamics. We can definitely improve on that. Highlight those p's and f's on your music, it'll help.
I always cringe when I hear someone play during that rest in "Michelle." Circle it five times. At least for 1st Violins, it's hard to see that rest hidden in the key signature markings in the beginning of the line, bottom of the first page.
We can definitely work on playing together. Listening to those around you and other sections, knowing the piece through practice, and watching the conductor helps.
- March 20, 2012 at 11:28 PM
- Jessica D said...
Overall, it was pretty good. However, during 'Lady Madonna' everyone was playing very legato. It sounded kind of weird... Also during 'Lady Madonna' I thought that the fermatta (I don't know how to spell that) was held too long. I agree with everyone who has mentioned dynamics, there was a lack of those. Second violins sounded kind of out of tune... but that was probably me. Anyway, with more practice this is going to sound fantastic!!!!!!!!
- March 21, 2012 at 6:50 AM
- Victoria E said...
As a group, I think we need to work on listenning to one another. Especially in the beginning, our start was a bit shaky and the song would sound so much better with a strong start. When the smaller group goes to Disney, it will be easier to spot out people who are off in terms of rhythm, so it is important that we work together and watch the conductor.

Great comments, Anonymous! But, I can't grade you if you don't tell me who you are.
- March 21, 2012 at 12:55 PM
- Shruthi Raghuraman said...
All in all we need to work on dynamics especially in lady madonna. As a group we should fork on emphasizing the crescendos and decrescendos and put in accents where needed. Almost all the notes are correct and in tune, now we have to work on the dynamics
- March 23, 2012 at 7:43 AM
- Rebecca D said...
I think that the orchestra needs to stay together more. We have to listen to each other in order to keep together with the rhythms and the tempos. WE also need to have more dramatic dynamics throughout the song so that it sounds interesting.
- March 23, 2012 at 8:49 AM
- Matt Evans said...
After listening to this I had some observations. In general, it was well played but it sounded a little off. The dynamics and all of the accidentals (especially the violins) were either not played or missing. The whole piece needs to be played together, and it sounded like each section was not listenting to other sections. But overall, it was good.
- March 23, 2012 at 10:10 AM
- Jeff Gebauer said...
in general, it was good but there were a few problems. the biggest problem is that the dynamics are not good at all. second, the intonation is a little bit off and could be improved. and third, the whole orchestra is not playing together. everyone need to listen to each other. if these things can be improved then it would sound incredible.
- March 25, 2012 at 4:51 PM
- lexi dodge said...
There dynamics could be better overall and the tone could be improved. The temp also sounds off in certain places and we could do a better job of listening to each other and staying together.
- March 26, 2012 at 11:07 AM
- Connor Nackley said...
After listening to the piece, I have a few comments.
There seems to be a general lack of dynamics throughout the piece. Whether or not the lack of a "professional" recording changes this, the lack of dynamics can easily be fixed by paying more attention to the conductor. There also seems to be a few mistakes relating to accidentals, these stick out a lot when in a large orchestral setting. Some good things I noticed was our unity and clarity during lady Madonna which sounded pretty good. Overall it could use some work!
- March 26, 2012 at 11:50 AM
- Anna Leunis said...
In the beginning, the cellos were a bit behind the violins. Each person should circle dynamics in their parts and work on intonation.
- March 26, 2012 at 4:58 PM
- Colin said...
The begining sounded good, but the violas need to work more on dynamics, so they can be heard when they should, and blend with the rest of the group in other parts.

Alltogether we did not sound like we were all together. The violins were always as in sync as they should have been and they were the most prominent of all the noises i heard. The bases are bases and should be loud and the violas are too few in number to be able to compete with the rest of us. There also seemed to be a disconnect between bases and violins.
- March 27, 2012 at 10:58 AM
- Justin Taylor Lindsey said...
The 1st violins almost covered up most of the other parts, which might just be due to the location of the mic. Also the rhythms in some spots especially michelle. Also there were some dynamic issues. Also in the middle the parts got a little off and sounded kind of messy.
Sorry this is late Mrs. Minnis the first time i submitted it the website must have though i was a robot since i submitted it from my iPhone

In general, we need to work on dynamics and innotation. A few other small things were in Michelle the viola solo needs to be worked on, the first and second violins need to focus on making their rhythms sound more together, and we should also work on not playing during rests which is small but helps.
- March 27, 2012 at 10:30 PM
- Grant M. said...
The sync between the bass/cello sections was not always with the violins and violas. The dynamics could be improved between the sections, and the rhythms were played correctly. Coming in on the right time was also another issue with the basses.

Hey Summoners,
Over this week and next week, we'll be kicking off a series of posts that discuss some of our high-level philosophies when it comes to preseason and this upcoming season. You should be able to find our discussions going forward on both the forums and on reddit, but here's a basic overview of some of the changes we'll be making.
With the season coming to an end, we've been hard at work figuring out what's next for League of Legends. With preseason the closest thing to a lull between competitive seasons, it's the perfect time to make big changes to balance and core gameplay mechanics. The Live Design team has been listening closely to player feedback throughout this year as we take a look at some of our underlying game systems. Ultimately for this new season, we're on a quest to refine League of Legends while also creating a deeper, clearer and more satisfying player experience.
First, let me share this year's preseason goals:
To us, these goals are benchmarks for a more competitive and enjoyable environment, and they particularly focus on systems in need of love.
The team will be sharing details on a lot of the specific adjustments to each system, but allow me to give a preview of what to expect:
Tens of millions of players with thousands of extra gold, items and options in their pockets will uncover tens of millions of combinations and strats that the Live Design team couldn't dream of (even after months of constant testing!), and we're really excited to see what you'll think up. As an addendum, we do want to pick and choose our battles with these kinds of changes, and the systems we chose to overhaul are the ones that we felt needed the most love while requiring a season break to do right. There are other outstanding projects remaining, so this is by no means an exhaustive list of things we'd like to tinker with, but this post covers the ones we've targeted for this update.
Anyway, we'll be taking a couple months here to make rapid iterations to our new systems while fine-tuning these updates, so expect this to be a test of your evolutionary league skills. Balance will typically be a bit chaotic in the short-term but, with extensive changes like these, it's important that we get the right levers in place to get to a balanced state in the mid-to-long term.
In the coming days, we'll be following up with a series of posts on our upcoming system changes, so you can expect Xypherous and Xelnath to kick things off with vision changes. You'll also be able to join us on reddit for deeper discussions (no hard specifics!) as we reveal each feature. See you then!
