military collecting the art of finding a great deal

April 24th, 2012 by depresse
for those of you out the into collecting the military genre of uniforms, patches, old guns, or anything from the past your in luck. with today’s multitude of ways to find antiques or collectibles it’s almost impossible not to find something unique close to home or on the internet. the internet has made it so easy to find a site or auction house with sellers trying to peddle there collectibles to people around the world. however, not everyone is going to get the deal of the century.starting locally around your home is the best way to get a good deal. a lot of times the aging population is literally dying to give you a great find. most widows, family members, or the average joe just doesn’t know the worth of what they have. you can go through classified ads in the paper, or stop by dozens of yard sales on saturday morning and rummage through the goods marked at ridiculous prices. of course you’re not out trying to rob someone but at the same time what it’s worth to them is what they will sell it to you for. if you’re around a military installation you will often find the best deals as retirees form the armed services will stay close for health care and other benefits from serving their time in the military. once those retirees find that it’s time to clean out the years of collected memories they will pass it on to someone for next to nothing just to have room in their home again. this is where the estate sale or yard sale comes into play. smart collectors will make a weekend of doing nothing but yard sailing all day long until they have filled their vehicles to the top.auctions online help bring people far away closer to their beloved items but this for the most part is not that cheap find. most people out on the internet know what they are selling and what someone is willing to pay. be prepared to pay closer to what the collectible is worth online. the people selling online are savvy and know that they are reaching millions of people that want what they are selling. the best way to get something cheaper online is looking for lot sales or local classified ads posted on certain websites. doing research for what you collect will help you from being abused by sellers. you should be prepared before a purchase in knowing what replicas are, years your collectibles are from, condition of the items, and if you can get them elsewhere cheaper and in better condition. there is no excuse for not doing your homework. the people that complain about what they bought either received an item other than described or didn’t know what they were getting into before they bought. don’t be one of these people.there are more than enough places and communities online to help you in making appropriate purchased for your beloved hobby. in all there are many ways to acquire military collectible, but it’s up to you to find the correct resources to help you in your quest of riches. you should look for groups to join with your similar interests to help you on your way, but be forewarned…never tell them were the goods are or they might bite before you do. collector’s are some of the most vicious people i the world and if they want it they will get what you have your eyes on. always get some information then share your prized possession with your group and you won’t have anything to regret.

titanium is a chemical element abbreviated

April 17th, 2012 by depresse

titanium is a chemical element abbreviated with the chemical symbol ti. it has a lustrous silvery grey-white metallic appearance and it is corrosion resistant. titanium has a low density about 60% that of iron and a high melting point of 3135‘f. it was discovered by william gregor in 1791 and named after the titans of greek mythology by martin heinrich klaproth in cornwall, great britain. it is also the 10th most occurring element on the surface of the earth. this metal is extracted from its principal ores through the kroll or hunter process. processing of titanium metal is done in four stages. first the titanium ore is reduced into a porous form to form something like a sponge. from there, the sponge is melted to form an ingot. it then undergoes primary fabrication whereby the ingot is converted into plates, bars, billets, strips or tubes and other general mill products. the final stage is the secondary fabrication stage. in this stage the general mill products are converted into finished shapes. since it reacts with oxygen at high temperatures, it can not be produced by reduction of its dioxide. in order to shield titanium from contamination with atmospheric gases, its fabrication or welding is done in an inert atmosphere of argon or helium. to solder this metal, you must first plate it with a metal that is solderable. due to its corrosion resistance, it used to make plane propeller shafts. this metal is also used in heater-chillers for salt water aquariums.

There has been a lot of changes over the years

I did use to have a lot of swag, books, collectibles, and other “inspirato” decorating my area, but after moving around so much in the last 10 years (5 different buildings, multiple projects, probably a dozen different cubes or offices), most of my “stuff” (see George Carlin‘s rant on “stuff”) has made it‘s way home to my private collection (tours are free on the 1st Tuesday of every month). Do you play EQ outside of work? How is that possible to do without getting tired of it? Honestly, I haven‘t “played” EQ at home for a while now, even though I‘m in the game quite often at work to test out my new zones. It‘s not “getting tired of it”, it‘s more that I don‘t have the time to devote to serious MMO‘ing lately.

When I do have time to play games (console or PC), it‘s usually in small, bite-sized sessions, which doesn‘t get you very far in MMO‘s. What is the best thing you‘ve personally worked on and have had implemented in game? Some of my favorite things I‘ve worked on in EQ are the original Freeport and Befallen zones. I really had fun with all the different elements and details we created in Freeport. Befallen was a quickie, last minute zone we were able to squeeze in before EQ launched. For such a quickly made zone, Befallen turned out to be a blast to explore. Of the newer expansions that I‘ve worked on, the Kaesora Library dungeon from Seeds of Destruction is my latest favorite. What have been the biggest changes in EQ and SOE over the years you‘ve worked there?

There has been a lot of changes over the years. On EQ, as an artist, we have been continuing to upgrade the tools we work with, making our job easier and faster. The team itself has become very streamlined and refined, like a team of veteran world building Green Berets! The biggest change at SOE as a company has been the massive growth. It‘s been a wild ride watching the company grow from a few dozen people focused on making EQ, to hundreds of people, working from multiple studios, creating quite a good catalog of online multiplayer games. What advice do you give ‘n00bs‘ when they come on board the team? My first bit of advice would normally be to get into the game, play it for awhile, check out the community, and study up on the lore and history of EQ. But most Cataclysm people that join the EQ team now have played or even worked on EQ before.

The landscape gradually changes to this dark

We‘re confident that there will be enough content to keep high-leveled players challenged. First of all, some players will focus on the pet melding system. Players can meld two pets together to receive a new pet with enhanced stat growth, so they will be trying to get the ultimate pet that compliments their class. Other players will be looking to improve their character. We have two instances that are suitable for high-level players to get better gear. We also have a crafting and weapon upgrading.

Lastly, players will be looking for appealing content to test their skills. We will be releasing arenas for players to engage in PvP combat for rewards and bragging rights. We are testing these now and they will be available after the game‘s release. We‘re not resting on our laurels though; we‘re very well aware of the need for fresh end-game content. We already have new zones ready to open up, as well as quests and instances to support a higher level cap. What would you estimate the learning curve is for new players to ESO? The learning curve isn‘t steep; it is a very accessible game. Players completely new to MMOs will be able to get the hang of it very quickly by just following the training quests. Is there a PvP component in ESO? How would you compare it to other games and PvP systems? There is PvP combat in Ether Saga Online. Players below level 45 are immune from being killed by other players. Once you hit 45, you can attack other players. Additionally, we will be releasing arenas and battlegrounds for players to organize player vs player combat and get rewards.

The PvP system in ESO has a self-regulating feature. As you kill players, your karma decreases and your name changes color from white to red. Once you hit a certain point and your name turns deep red, guards will attack you on sight and you will drop items and lose experience when killed (white named players will not drop items or lose EXP when PK‘d). Your name will turn back to white after a certain amount of game time has passed. I say it‘s self-regulating because if you kill a player much lower level than you, your name turns red much quicker than if you PK someone near your level. There‘s a strong disincentive to gank lowbies. We want players to concentrate on fighting other players who are equal to themselves. What is your favorite aspect of the PvP system?

I would have to say the penalty for the red-named players give PK‘ers and non-PK‘ers incentives to join in the system. PK‘ers can feel a sense of excitement as you‘re always pushing your luck when you kill a player. On the flip side, PK‘d players can form posses and hunt down red-named players to take their gear. Is ESO geared more to the hardcore player or the casual player? What are the best features for each type? Really, it can appeal to either type. It has a gentle learning curve and a charming visual style that can appeal to a casual gamer, but there are many systems like pet melding, crafting and transformations that hardcore players will want to play and utilize. What is your favorite in-game area? Describe it to us please. I like the haunted areas.

The landscape gradually changes to this dark, eerie area. Each region is huge and there are no loading screens between areas in each region, so the transition is fluid. What have been your most rewarding moments in ESO‘s development? I have to give a cop-out answer and say the entire time we spent with the game. ESO had very few bugs when we started with localization, so we‘ve had the luxury of devoting our efforts to polishing the game and having fun with it. What have been the most challenging moments in ESO‘s development? The development team is actively adding new content, sometimes too fast for us to keep up with them. At times it‘s like PVP Basics a never-ending pile of things to test and improve. It‘s a good problem to have though.
