But today's weren't big at all (every one = 10 letters), and movement from one section to another was more deliberate and purposeful than more standard Sunday puzzles. On Sundays, I like to go crashing into open parts of the puzzle when I solve those big theme answers. This made it hard to blow through the grid. Otherwise, this puzzle's theme is clever, and tricky in that you have to build the answer from crosses - it's unlikely you could just look at the blanks in the clue and get it. What in the world is a "BOARD FOOT?" OMG, when I google I get a glossary of lumber terms.Ī unit of cubic measure for lumber, equal to one foot square by one inch thick.Īm I alone in not knowing this? All the other two-word phrases in this chain are very familiar, common, in- the- (nonlumberjack)- language phrases, that BOARD FOOT stands out like a thumb that is sore after you tried to drive a nail through a BOARD FOOT and hit your thumb instead. I got the theme easily, but I have to say that if I had started with 25A: CIRCUIT BOARD _ ROOM SERVICE (foot locker) instead of 23A: FOOD COURT _ CIRCUIT BOARD (case closed), I would have been completely flummoxed. At any rate, I wonder if other people experienced similar bafflement. I think my explanation and his subsequent message indicating he'd figured it out crossed in the mail. Got a frantic email from the a senior editor at a Major publication last night asking me to explain the theme of today's puzzle. ![]() Chain is composed of two-word phrases that interlock - FOOD COURT, COURT CASE, CASE CLOSED, etc.

If you are cybran and are being attacked midgame, you should use fighter bombers or the tech two tanks to help defend. While this is situationally a good thing, it also means that higher tier units will have more opportunity to get shots off before they die than with other factions point defense. The reason behind this is that the towers do damage over time instead of burst damage like other point defense systems. A few tips and features you may have missed.ġ- Cybran tech two ground point defense is not always a good resource investment in the early game. From this point on what you do depends on what faction you have and what the game rules are, so from here it’s up to you to make the right choice based on your opponent and your faction to win the game. I have used this tactic in many games of Forged Alliance and it has worked quite well. This so far should get you to tech two relatively fast. While those upgrades are going have your engineers make another factory and make some type of anti air units and some form of anti land units to defend your base while the upgrades are going. Only do this when you are positive on energy by at least 200 or your economy will stall. When all four of the closest metal extractors are done upgrading, upgrade your factory to tech two and upgrade your commander to a tech two engineering suit(only do one at a time and when you have the resources for it). This is important when building experimental units and expanding your base. This increases the extractors mass output and lets you store more mass away for later. Surround the four closest metal extractors to your spawn with metal storage. Once these are done do the same thing for the next 2 closest metal extractors. Now that your engineers are finished making mass extractors, you should upgrade two of the mass extractors(one at a time with your commander assisting the upgrade). This is to make sure you don’t end up dead five minutes in due to tech one bombers rushing you. Once the interceptors are done, make them patrol your base. Also make sure some of them help build power generators or reclaim. As the engineers finish, make them build metal extractors on all nearby metal deposits. While your factory is working, have your commander build three mass extractors and as many power plants as possible without stalling your economy. If you begin struggling on resources at this point, halt production of engineers until your situation stabilizes(there is a little pause button in the factories menu that will let you do this without cancelling your build orders). Then select the factory and order it to build 5 tech one engineers, and two interceptors(or anti air ground units depending on which factory you used). When you first spawn(on what ever map), immediately build either an air or land factory to one side of you.

Have you ever eaten straw-like pasta? If you have, then you have eaten bucatini. You will also find it commonly used in exotic dishes due to its delicacy and the visual appeal that it adds. Spaghettini is best served with tomato-based or olive oil-based sauces. Many people don’t realize it but the thickness of the pasta noodles makes a significant impact on the taste and overall flavor of the dish. The only difference is that spaghettini is a lot thinner than spaghetti (but thicker than vermicelli). Spaghettini is completely similar to the traditional spaghetti. If you have ever ordered a dish of ‘spaghetti’ or bought a packet of spaghetti and wondered why the noodles seem thinner than usual, then that’s probably because it is spaghettini. For instance, spaghetti tossed in marinara sauce and topped with meatballs and mushrooms is everyone’s favorite. Made from flour, water, and semolina, spaghetti is commonly served with a variety of sauces, meats, vegetables, and some other food ingredients. Derived from the Italian words for ‘thin strings,’ spaghetti refers to thin, cylindrical strands of pasta that are normally about 10 inches long.

Some tasks exhibit precedence relationships among them, and these should be taken into account when placing them in a time schedule. It obviously does not make sense to submit a paper for publication before we have written it. Even so, we still need to consider the order in which we are going to do them. Of course, we may just schedule one after the other linearly, but most often this will be highly inefficient. Once we have our duration estimates, allowing for work leaves and adjusted to local variations, we need to place tasks in time. Still, you should always find a way to reflect in your schedule the impact of work leaves, which will not usually be known in advance (See figures 2). Generally these will allow you to tailor the calendar to yearly variations. There are many tools that provide support for integration of calendar information from various countries. working days vary across cultures and countries, summer differs between hemispheres.). If you manage an international project you should then take into account local holidays and variations as well (e.g. Short projects may specify task duration in hours, but when planning any project that lasts more than a few days, we should always have a calendar (or more) at hand: when calculating completion dates you should add to the duration estimation holidays, non-working days, staff vacancies and so on. Most often we take it for granted, and tend to forget about its huge variability. That is why every project manager should try to keep a log of work and project performance and make post-mortem tests on every project to collect useful statistics that can be used to make future estimations more accurate (we’ll see more on this in an upcoming article in this series). Thus, at any rate, whenever possible we should try to include previous experience in similar tasks or projects, if possible from within our own Company, using performance records, or in their absence, using standard industry-wide estimations (often available from technical publications). Even experts may produce inaccurate estimates or task breakdowns for various reasons (ambition, optimism, ignorance.). Previous experience should always be taken into account. If possible, we should ask our experts to produce estimations. We can’t know the future, but often we may have an intuitive, more or less accurate idea of how long and how much work will be required to carry out each task. Estimating task duration is not easy as it involves a prediction (and a compromise). We need to make estimations on how long each of these tasks will take and fit them in a feasible schedule. At the same time we break down our project into suitable subprojects and further on down to leaf tasks, we must consider the time duration of each of them. Web based) where you may assign subprojects to other project members and defer further breakdown to them, thus sharing the work load (see figure 1). You will find the more relevant differences between standalone, single- user tools, where one person must centralize all the breakdown work (possibly collecting estimates from experts), and distributed tools (e.g. Almost any PM tool provides facilities for making a hierarchical breakdown of a project into tasks. In this case, we must do it ourselves, drawing from our technical expertise, previous experience or technical advisers, or a combination of all of these. Sometimes, however, this will not be possible, because you do not know in advance who will be responsible for doing what in the end. This may mean that you will need to call up meetings of developers/implementers to draft the plan, and perhaps include some of them in your meetings to discuss the plan with other key stakeholders. Whenever possible, it is better to rely on people who will actually do the work to produce accurate estimates of the time and resources required to achieve their sub-goals. ![]() for them by doing this, we’ll establish a hierarchy or network of responsibility among participants we’ll avoid being too intrusive on the details of how people carry out their work, which is often a serious source of dissatisfaction and problems and finally this acknowledges them as key stakeholders of our project (as the ones who must make it happen). ![]() ![]() If your niche is vocals then Studio One Prime is for you.
