25 Years of Maxis – Living the Simulated Dream - Game Informer

Author's Note: This article originally appeared in issue 236 of Game Informer. With the news of Maxis closing its doors in Emeryville, we wanted to post the feature to give you a look at happier days at the legendary studio. I conducted these interviews in September 2012 – prior to the release of SimCity and The Sims 4 – to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Maxis. Though recent developments may be missing from the conversation, I left the studio impressed by the dedication, passion, and creativity of the staff. Even if the Maxis brand persists in some altered form, the Emeryville location was the core of the studio, and I'm sad to see it go.

5 Dreadful picks

In the darkness of the offseason, with training camp almost a month away, let’s take a nightmare walk down memory lane. This is my take on the Packers worst 1st round draft picks since 1980. It’s good fodder for debate, and many fans might offer many counter arguments.

My criteria: • Was the player a true bust, or just not great? • How many good or great players did the Packers pass on to take him? • Did his selection set the franchise back long-term?

Many players were just ok or drafted so late in the 1st it’s hard to judge. Others were victims of great players drafted around them. Others were simply busts.

5- DE Vonnie Holliday 1998

Drafted 19th overall in 1998, Vonnie Holliday was not a bust. In fact, he had a respectable 15-year NFL career. He was a decent starting defensive end in Green Bay but was never great. Two picks later the Minnesota Vikings selected Randy Moss. A few picks after that, Pittsburgh drafted Alan Faneca. It’s not often that 2-Hall of Famers go so late in the 1st round.

The next season Ron Wolf drafted 3-defensive backs mainly to deal with Moss. More importantly, is there any doubt Green Bay would have won another Super Bowl with Brett Favre and Randy Moss in his prime?

4-DT Justin Harrell 2007

The 16th overall pick in 2007, Harrell was Ted Thompson’s worst top pick ever. Harrell brought a special combination of being injury prone and not very good. Darrelle Revis and Greg Olson went later in the 1st.

3-DE Jamal Reynolds 2001

Reynolds was too small and lacked talent. Somehow, then GM Mike Sherman thought Reynolds was worthy of the 10th overall pick. Reynolds is the definition of bust. Additionally, the Packers passed on Reggie Wayne and Steve Hutchinson who went on to be Hall of Famers, as well as Deuce McCallister and Ryan Pickett. To find a worse Packer drafter than Mike Sherman, you’d have to go all the way back to Bart Starr.

2-OT Tony Mandarich 1989

ORG XMIT: MPID5441969 Tony Mandarich, Historical, 9/8/91

Many would rank Mandarich the worst ever Packer draft pick. Not me. The hype machine around Mandarich was made “bigger than life” by a pre-draft SI cover story. Taken 2nd overall in 1989, some experts thought he should have gone first, ahead of Troy Aikman. Were the experts ever more wrong? At the time, those experts said the athletic freak was a generational left tackle. It turns out his hype was built on steroids. It’s bad when you’re a bust, which he was. It’s so much worse when Barry Sanders, Derrick Thomas, Deion Sanders and Steve Atwater are taken after you. Still, I can’t blame the Packers for taking the guy pretty much every NFL team would have taken.

1-QB Rich Campbell 1981

Back when coaches spoke a more freely, offensive coordinator Bob Schnelker said Campbell didn’t have an NFL arm during his rookie camp. Campbell quickly proved him correct. The Campbell pick sealed the Packers into QB purgatory through most of the 1980’s.

According to Packer’s historian Cliff Christl, player personnel director Dick Corrick pleaded with then GM Bart Starr, to take Ronnie Lott.  Would the 49ers 80’s success and the Packers perennial losing have flipped had the Packers taken Lott? We’ll never know.

Honorable mention, taking Alphonso Carreker over Boomer Esiason and Keith Millard in 1984, taking Brent Fulwood ahead of Jerome Brown and Rod Woodson in 1987, taking Kevin King (albeit in the 2nd round) over TJ Watt or Ryan Ramczyk in 2017.

Next up the 5 greatest Packer #1 draft picks since 1980.

Big Ten Football: The Defensive Powerhouse of College Sports

Introduction The Big Ten Conference has a storied history in college football, particularly when it comes to defense. Over the years, the Big Ten has produced numerous defensive legends who have gone on to have successful careers in the NFL. This tradition of defensive dominance continues to this day, with the Big Ten once again asserting itself as a defensive powerhouse in the current college football season. The Legacy of Big Ten Defense The Football Hall of Fame is adorned with names of Big Ten defensive legends such as Dick Butkus, Rod Woodson, Ray Nitschke, Alex Karra, Herb Adderley, and Charles Woodson. These players set the standard for defensive excellence, and their legacy continues to inspire the current generation of Big Ten players. Recent Big Ten Standouts in the NFL The NFL is replete with players who honed their skills in the Big Ten. Notable recent additions to the NFL from the Big Ten include Aidan Hutchinson, Joey and Nick Bosa, Micah Parsons, T.J. Watt, Jeff Okudah, and Chase Young. The recent draft saw five first-round defensive picks from the Big Ten, with Illinois cornerback Devon Witherspoon leading the pack as the fifth overall pick by the Seattle Seahawks. Current Big Ten Defensive Dominance The Big Ten's defensive prowess is not just a thing of the past. Currently, eight of the league's 14 teams rank among the top 50 overall defenses in the country.

Verena Holmes;

The first female engineer.

A small, almost insignificant workshop, tucked away in a Gillingham street is part of a previously unknown story, featuring the countries, first female engineer.

This was pioneering, Verena Winifred Holmes 1889–1964, who long held an ambition, during her successful career to own an engineering company, with an all female staff.

In 1946, after years of searching and planning, Verena Holmes founded the engineering firm, Holmes and Leather Company Limited with, Sheila Leather 1898–1983, a fellow member at the Women’s Engineering Society.

Verena Holmes.

Co-owner of the Beresford Works in Gillingham, Miss Sheila Leather.

Miss Leather later, following on from Miss Holmes became president of the Women’s Engineering Society in 1950. Both her sisters, Alice Muriel Hutchinson 1885–1969 and Lady Wemonah Hardwick Ansorge 1890–1979 invested in the Gillingham engineering company.

A small building in Beresford Road, close to Gillingham Road in Gillingham was found. The ground floor, with an outside toilet became a work-shop with several lathes. Via an internal open staircase, there were two small offices, one used by Miss Holmes as her drawing office.

The Beresford Works, Beresford Road, Gillingham, Kent - present day. Copyright: Mike Gunnill.

From the beginning, Ruth Faris 1910–2002, who liked to be called simply; ‘Faris’, was employed as the works-manager. She was originally from The Borough, Downton, in Wiltshire where her father, Ernest Frank Faris, a ex-seaman, was the local butcher. ‘Faris’ was highly qualified especially on the lathe, and would help train new staff, who Miss Holmes wanted with little, or no previous engineering experience. Most ladies were taken directly from the unemployment office in Gillingham. One of these recruits, was Mrs Amy Page of Chatham, who was the works-painter, finishing off, items made in the factory.

An office manager, Mrs Glasspool nee Burnett joined and like ‘Faris’ stayed with the company for the trading years, of 1946 to 1959.

As a new company, Miss Holmes considered various ideas to manufacture, including making: children’s prams, Yankee screwdrivers, map measures and parallel rulers. Finally they started production with a Bantam Shearing Machine, followed by a Bantam Rod Cutter and then, the successful, safe-guillotine.

The guillotine with the later added, safeguard was deemed safe enough to use in schools and the Gillingham company produced hundred’s of them!

Newspaper advert for the Beresford Works.

The yard and part of the building are now empty, behind number 203 and number 2 Beresford Road; which was owned by upholsterer, Leslie Louis Clarke. The building and yard are now owned by a builder with the upstairs office area converted into a small flat with its own street access.

Miss Holmes was officially registered living at 127 Highbury New Park, London, and later owned a semi-detached house at, 8 Rusholme Road in Putney. During her time in the Medway Towns from 1946–1959 she rented from 1947, a semi-detached house at 2 Cleave Road, Gillingham, then a terraced house, 33 Leyton Avenue in Gillingham. Finally between 1956–1959 a nearby semi-detached property, at 40 Osprey Avenue, Gillingham in Kent.

There is a local suggestion, that Miss Faris, the factory manager, may have rented 205 Gillingham Road, Gillingham. This was, just a short walk from the Beresford Works factory.

One of the great joys of Verena’s life, and her mode of transport; was her motorcycle, used between North London and Gillingham, and for visiting friends. The photograph used here, shows Miss Holmes astride a AJS machine, first made in 1929, with a M8 Twinport 500cc engine. The registration plate was, GE 8556.

Copyright by kind permission of Andrew Fox, Private Collection.

Rainham Kent historic-motorcycle expert Michael Best, who idenified the bike from the photograph says,

“ The bike wasn’t difficult to handle but had a large frame and the power was low. It had poor acceleration and didn’t have a high speed. These shouldn’t be compared with the modern combustion engines.”

The image of Miss Holmes is thought to have been taken in 1934, while visiting a Loughborough College friend, Nancy Johnson 1902–1993. Mrs Nancy Johnson was an ‘automobile labortary assistant’ at the college and is pictured with sisters, Helen and Pam Johnson and William Johnson in Pulham, Dorset. Miss Holmes suitcase is seen strapped to the rear seat of her bike. 

In letters found recently, Verena Holmes expressed her “great enjoyment” pushing her bike up a hill, with a young 15 year old boy assisting. Then trying to start the engine on the way down the hill. She added later:

“ It was a pleasant way, to spend an afternoon.”

On the 8th April, 1959 Verena Holmes wrote in her private diary, that she was closing the Beresford Works. There had been several personality clashes with some women not wanting to work together. There was, ‘a little friction’ between Miss Holmes and her factory-manager, Miss Faris, who towards the end of the company, disappeared for long periods and then returned as if nothing had happened. Faris also had a “falling-out” with the company co-owner Sheila Leather and the pair didn’t speak for many years.

Miss Verena Winifred Holmes, 1889–1964 was born at Highworth, Maidstone Road in Ashford Kent, the daughter of Edmond Gore Alexander Holmes 1850–1936 and Florence Mary Holmes 1861–1927 nee Syme. The family plus Peter Macfanlane Syme 1829–1893, Mrs Holmes father, lived in the large house, with five servants.

Her father was a school inspector, later the chief inspector of elementary schools in England. The family lived in a private house, which is now; Gower House part of Highworth Grammar School for Girls. The school maintains a link with Verena Holmes and a collaborative exhibition with Ashford Museum held in 2022, is due to be repeated this year. In addition the school will again celebrate Women’s World Engineering Day on June 23rd, which is Verena Holmes’s birthday.

Gower House, once the home of the Holmes family in Ashford, Kent.

She was an unassuming woman who enjoyed her engineering lifestyle and her pioneering achievements were many, with the word “first” repeated many times. 

* 1919 An early member of the Women’s Engineering Society.

* Loughborough College, 1922 Graduated BSc(Eng).

* Worked briefly for a marine engineering firm and then tried technical writing in the United States.

* 1924 became an associate of the Institution of Marine Engineers and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and worked for the North British Locomotive Company.

* 1931 The first woman admitted to the Institute of Women’s Engineers. President of the Women’s Engineering Society, 1931–1932.

* 1932–9 Working at Research Engineers Limited. Here she built her most ambitious invention, the Poppet Valve for steam locomotives.

* During WW2, she worked on; rotary gyro valves for torpedoes, new superchargers, and other apparatus for the Admiralty, designing the complicated mechanism for Lord Mountbatten’s station-keeping system. Set up a programme to train women for war time munitions work.

* 1940 Appointed headquarters technical officer with the Ministry of Labour (1940–44).

* 1944 gained full membership of the Institute of Mechanical Engineers.

* 1946 Founded her own engineering firm, Holmes and Leather, which only employed women.

* Created the Women’s Technical Service Register, where girls could enrol to train for positions like; junior draughtsman and laboratory assistant.

It was during the last days at her company; Holmes and Leather, it was noticed she was becoming fragile. She was nursed through pneumonia by friends, but she wouldn’t take medical advice, and continued working, moving to a nursing home, when only required to do so.

Miss Verena Winifred Holmes, 1889–1964 B.Sc(Eng.), A.M.I.Mech.E., M.I.Loco, E.,M.Inst.Met., A.M.I.Mar.E., died of heart problems in the Whitehanger Nursing Home, Danley Vale in Haslemere, Sussex on the 20th February, 1964.

During her time at the Beresford Works, Miss Holmes (left) with works manager Ruth Faris. Image: Copyright: Historic Images, America.

Her Will of 18th February, 1953 used her resident address of 33 Leyton Avenue in Gillingham. Miss Holmes made bequests to her sister, Florence Ruth Holmes, various relations and to the Women’s Engineering Society, who received £100. She made an addition to the Will or a codicil on the 26th November, 1959 to accomadate a new bequest.

Six years later, the Gillingham address had become a former residence and 8 Rusholme Road in Putney, the main addrss. The codicil was witnessed by; Mrs Aimee Violet Hall, the Matron of Whitehanger. So by November 1959, Verena Holmes may have been living at the Haslemere nursing home.

As an addition to her main Will, Miss Verena Holmes left a pecuniary legacy of £2,000 to her old Holmes-Leather factory-manager and friend Ruth Faris. She was then living with her sister; Mrs Constance Joan Bishop 1921–2016 at, 124 The Borough in the village of Downton, Salisbury in Wiltshire, where she died in 2002.

—Stephen Marche, “Winning the Game You Didn’t Even Want to Play: On Sally Rooney and the Literature of the Pose”

As I was saying... Aside from that, this article is too long, too forced. The distinctions don’t hold up. The styleless and politically dramatized translationese of the hyped-up Millennial novel derives from the model of a few Silents and Boomers (Coetzee, Ishiguro, Sebald), never mentioned. The Silents and Boomers themselves conveniently get reduced to Roth and Amis (nothing he says in that section applies to Morrison, Atwood, Ondaatje, etc.). The comparison between Seamus Heaney and Rupi Kaur could have been between, say, Ishion Hutchinson and Rod McKuen to similar aesthetic but opposite historic effect. Etc. Like much historicist diagnosis of the arts, it comes off like excuse-making. Taken too seriously, it’s a self-fulfilling prophecy, as if there weren’t a war on between word and image when Faulkner and Fitzgerald went to Hollywood or Morrison and McCarthy went on Oprah. Marche casually brushes off counterexamples by saying they don’t represent “the writing that defines the moment,” as if that were up to someone besides a critic with a prominent berth. Why sell your birthright to some publisher’s marketing team? “It seems that history is to blame,” says a character in Ulysses; Joyce has him say this to show he’s an idiot. There’s never any good reason to write a novel without verve or style. I knew I was untimely, but I wrote Portraits and Ashes anyway, and even if I don’t get rich till I’m dead, it will have been worth it to have written, for example, 

As the bus shook, she superstitiously kept her hand cupped over the location of her wound like a medieval horseman, cleaved from sternum to pommel, swaying on his headlong mount, trying to hold his guts in.

Benjamin Franklin Day

Founding Father Benjamin Franklin was born on this day in 1706, in Boston, making today Ben Franklin Day. He was a polymath, or expert in many subjects. Some of the titles that could be given to him are inventor, scientist, politician, diplomat, civic activist, printer, author, postmaster, and mapmaker. He also founded or was a part of many organizations and groups.

Franklin was the tenth and youngest son of a soap and candle maker, Josiah Franklin, and Josiah's second wife, Abiah Folger. The elder Franklin wanted his son to follow the path of a preacher, but did not have the money to send him to school. Benjamin only attended school up until the age of ten, when he began working full-time in his father's shop. At the age of twelve he was sent to apprentice his older brother James, who was a printer. James started The New England Courant in Boston when Benjamin was fifteen. Benjamin wanted to be printed in the paper, but James would not allow it. So, he wrote letters under name of Silence Dogood, a fictional widow, and slid them under the print shop door at night. The fourteen letters he wrote were published; they gave advice and were filled with critical observations of the world. Benjamin eventually confessed to writing them, and James was not happy. Later, after harassment and beating at the hands of his brother, Benjamin ended up running away to New York, and then ended up in Philadelphia in 1723.

In Philadelphia, Franklin found work as an apprentice printer. He then went to England for several months of print work. He came back to Philadelphia and helped out a printer, but eventually borrowed money and set up his own printing business a few years later. Franklin bought the Pennsylvania Gazette in 1729, which became the most widely read newspaper in the colonies. He printed it and contributed pieces under aliases.

In 1728, Franklin had a son, William; it is not known who the mother was. In 1730, he married Deborah Read; it was a common-law marriage, as Read's first husband had deserted her. The Franklin's had two children: Francis, born in 1732, died at the age of four from smallpox. Sarah was born in 1743.

The Library Company, the nation's first subscription library, was founded by Franklin in 1731. He started publishing Poor Richard's Almanack in 1733, under the pseudonym of "Richard Saunders." Its lively writing and witty aphorisms separated it from other Almanacs of the day, and it was printed for twenty-five years. The first fire department of Philadelphia, the Union Fire Company, was organized by Franklin in 1736. Franklin also worked for environmental cleanup in the city, and launched projects and advocated for paved and lit streets. The first learned society in the country, the American Philosophical Society, was launched with the help of Franklin. In 1751, he brought together another group of people to form the Pennsylvania Hospital.

Franklin's bright mind came up with many inventions. His 1752 kite and key experiment demonstrated that lightning was electricity, and he also invented the lightning rod. He came up with other electricity related terms that we still use today, such as "battery." He invented a fireplace that became known as the "Franklin stove." Compared to the popular fireplaces of its time, it gave off more heat and used less fuel. Franklin refused to patent it, and wanted his invention to serve others freely. Franklin invented bifocals, which could be used for both distance and reading. He even invented a musical instrument, the armonica, which Beethoven and Mozart wrote music for. He charted the Gulf Stream and gave it its name, and suggested the idea for, and helped design the first penny in the United States.

In 1757, Franklin went to England to represent the Penn family over who should represent the colony. Until 1775 most of his time was spent in England. He served as a Colonial representative for Pennsylvania, Georgia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. His wife Deborah died in 1774, while he was still in London.

Franklin was originally a loyalist, but after the 1765 Stamp Act his views shifted. He testified before Parliament, helping persuade members of that body to repeal the law. He later became embroiled in what became known as the "Hutchinson Affair." Thomas Hutchinson, an English appointed governor, had written letters that had called for the lessening of liberties of colonists. Franklin got ahold of the letters and sent them to America. He was condemned publicly, and soon came back home.

He was elected to the Second Continental Congress, and was part of the committee of five that drafted the Declaration of Independence. He also was a signer of the Declaration. He was the first Postmaster General of the United States; long after his death he was honored by being put on the first US postage stamp.

He left America to become the first Ambassador to France. During this time he helped secure a treaty with them in 1778. He also helped to secure loans during the war. When the guns fell silent, he was present at signing of Treaty of Paris in 1783, which formally ended the war.

Franklin returned to his home country, and became a delegate at the Constitutional Convention; he signed the Constitution, being the oldest person to do so. Although Franklin owned slaves early in his life, his views changed over time, and in his last years he worked for the abolition of slavery. After suffering from gout and other ailments, he died on April 17, 1790, at his daughter Sarah's home. His funeral was attended by 20,000 people.

It is fitting a day would be dedicated to Benjamin Franklin, as he is so much more than just the man on the $100 bill. The breadth and scope of his achievements are almost unparalleled, not only in his political contributions to a fledgling country, but in his many other pursuits as well.

How to Observe

One way to celebrate the day is to follow the example he left of living a full life. Maybe you can start to do this by following his daily schedule. Learning more about the man may be a good way to celebrate his birthday and life as well. Why not read the man's own words in his Autobiography? You could also read his Silence Dogood letters, or some of Poor Richard's Almanack. Besides reading his own words, you could read books about him, or explore resources at the Library of Congress. Once you tire of reading you could find and watch the PBS mini-series on Franklin. Finally, you could plan a trip to visit his grave and the Benjamin Franklin Museum in Philadelphia.

DIY Garage Door Repair - Replacing Worn Opener Gears

Garage doors are always a conspicuous part of any home. Most of the time, it is the largest single piece of moving object in the home. As such it is a subject of much care and maintenance - no one would like to run into the door instead of the garage itself simply because the sensor or the opener failed to function.

To perform effective garage door repair, it is best to know first how garage doors work. The doors have remained relatively the same since their first conception in the ancient times as covers for chariots stored in gatehouses. In the early years of the 20th century, garage doors under the moniker "float over doors" started appearing in the catalogs of manufacturers such as the Cornell Iron Works. The upward-lifting garage door system that we know appeared at around 1906, and since has caught up with the continuing technological advancements.

Currently, most garage doors work with the aid of garage door openers, which are motorized devices used to open or close the doors. These devices were originally invented by C.G. Johnson in 1926. These devices did not become popular until after World War II, and are now part of almost every garage door installation. Garage door repair also involves knowledge in the maintenance of these pieces of equipment.

Most garage door openers work with chain-driven systems, and shredded plastic gears are a common problem. Fortunately, garage door repair concerning worn gears of these door openers need neither be difficult nor expensive - all it takes is the right knowledge.

When performing garage door repair on the opener installation, it is important to unplug the unit and shut the door by hand. Then, it is time to inspect the gears themselves. If they are worn out, new gears need to be installed. It is important to make sure one gets a compatible kit, which typically includes two new gears, washers, and some grease.

When proceeding with the installation, one may find it handy to loosen the circuit board of the installation to provide more elbow room to work. The chain should also be loosened from the tensioning rod by means of a wrench.

The entire assembly next needs to be lifted out of the unit. After removing the helical gear (secured by a pin) and the set screws using a hex wrench, the gears and washers can be slid off. The retaining screws on the motor should also be removed.

The new gears can then be installed, before replacing the motor assembly (basically the inverse of all the processes done so far). Make sure that the chain is tightened according to the instructions that come with the unit's manual, as improper tightening can cause further damage. After these simple garage door repair steps, the opener should now be functioning smoothly.

However, it is to be remembered that garage door repair jobs that exceed the basics should be checked by a licensed professional. can be very dangerous, and it is much better to let qualified specialists repair it that risk bodily injury or property damage.

Can’t leave the library without a stack 🤷🏻‍♀️⁣ ⁣ Have you read any of these? ⁣ ☆ The Apocalypse of Elena Mendoza by Shaun David Hutchinson - a queer YA book.⁣ ⁣ ☆ Night Fishing by Vicki Hastrich - a memoir in essays. Charlotte Wood describes Hastrich as ‘an antipodean Annie Dillard with a fishing rod in one hand and the whole of western art history on the other’.⁣ ⁣ ☆ She Would Be King by Wayétu Moore - a magical realist exploration of the history of Liberia. I’ve been keen to read this since it’s release.⁣
