  • TOEJAMANDEARL - Round 2
    TOEJAMANDEARL - Round 2 1. The audio of the 1995 game Quest for Fame is based on works by these people. Members of the New Order Nation, including Helga, kidnap these people in a game whose projectiles include compact discs. These people are unlocked as playable characters as part of the Nipmuc High School level, which also includes a cover of Mott the Hoople’s “All the Young Dudes.” That game, which includes Tom Hamilton and all other people of this type, is the first dedicated spin-off of the Guitar Hero series. The rail shooter Revolution X stars, for 10 points, what group of musicians that includes Joe Perry and Steven Tyler? ANSWER: the members of Aerosmith 2. One activity in this game ideally requires waiting for a certain number on-screen to reach 1,484 and ignoring the player character entirely. Completing one task in this game causes a mole to appear if it’s done on the last possible attempt. A special controller for playing this game on the Atari 2600 has no joystick and just three buttons, which echoes its arcade control scheme. One object in this game can be deliberately thrown off the screen, which will kill a bird. Several activities in this game have between 42 and 45 degrees as optimal launch angles. For 10 points, name this Konami game that begins with a button-mashing 100-yard-dash. ANSWER: Track & Field 3. A trilogy of light-gun shooters whose titles start with this word center on “Rage” and “Smarty,” a pair of police officers.

  • Stock Contractors
    STOCK CONTRACTORS Bar T Rodeo’s Fancy Pants, looking 100 percent focused just before bucking off his Round 9 cowboy, was named top saddle bronc of the 2011 Wrangler National Finals Rodeo, capping a Kerby-Flitton family celebration that started at the PRCA Awards Banquet Nov. 30 when Bar T won the 2011 Remuda Award for providing the best pen of bucking horses at PRCA rodeos. PRCA ProRodeo photo by Greg Westfall Stock Contractors Working behind the scenes from long before the rodeo begins until the last animal is loaded up, stock contractors may be the most overlooked people in rodeo production. While cowboys get most of the recognition, the livestock at PRCA rodeos plays a vital role in the success of the contestants. In roughstock events, the cowboy’s riding ability produces half the score and the animals’ ability to buck powerfully and skillfully earns the other half. For the timed events, stock contractors work to provide cattle of similar size for each event, so that cowboys are tested on their own skills – on a level playing field. The stock contractors’ primary goal is to ensure that the four-legged athletes of professional rodeo are healthy, well-fed, properly cared for and fit to perform. This job includes tasks familiar to all ranchers: breeding livestock with the desired characteristics, loading and transporting animals safely, providing veterinary care and supervising handling. Rodeo stock contractors also have sport-specific jobs, including working behind the chutes to ensure safety for both people and animals, caring for animals during the rodeo itself – even handling public relations for the sport’s animal superstars.
