Playing out of position is one of the most difficult things to do in poker. Sure, you can still make big hands, but they are going to be much more challenging to play than when you are in position. Playing in position is one skill set that was largely brought to light in the more recent years of poker. 2 days ago We play New York Times Crossword everyday and when we finish it we publish the answers on this website so that you can find an answer if you get stuck.

Welding out of position does not need to be overly complicated. It does present a challenge, especially for inexperienced welders, but there are things we can do to make this go well for everyone. When we talk about out of position welding we mean welding vertical up or overhead. Although vertical down is technically out of position we don't group it with such welds since it is very easy to make a good looking weld (not necessary a good weld) when welding vertical down.
The main reason why welding out of position is difficult is gravity. Because of gravity we are forced to weld colder and slower and unfortunately with lower quality (aesthetically and structurally). So to fight gravity, we make the following recommendations to our customers. These are in order from preferred to last resort, but they are all great options.
- Don't weld out of position – this means that you manipulate the part so that you can weld in the flat or horizontal position. This not always possible, but it should always be the first thing you consider. If you can turn the part to weld in position, do it. Sometimes this means simply picking up the part, rotating 90 to 180 degrees and welding. Other times it requires the use of manipulators, such as using a head and tailstock.
If you can move from out of position to flat or horizontal you‘ll be able to make higher quality welds at a faster rates due to the ability to carry a much larger puddle (higher wire feed speed means higher deposition). So before you rule out finding a way to manipulate the part due to cost be sure to look into the much higher welding speeds that can be achieved (and at higher quality) which may justify the expenditure.
- Use a welding process that produces slag – if you are mig welding (GMAW) and need to weld out of position you have probably figured out that you can decrease your wire feed speed significantly and deposit and relatively good looking weld. By making your weld very cold (low amperage) you risk lack of fusion and/or incomplete penetration. This is not a concern if you are welding ornamental art, but if you are welding anything that will bear a significant load you must be careful as the low amperage (low wire feed speed) makes your welds susceptible to lack of fusion. But if you turn up your wire feed speed the puddle just drips all over you. So you have to run low wire feed speeds, right?
Out Of Position Tool
The answer is no. If you are willing to consider another process, such as flux-cored arc welding (FCAW) which generates slag, you may be able to increase your wire feed speed, thus increasing deposition rate and productivity. The slag generated by welding processes such FCAW and stick welding (SMAW) create a shelf, or dam, that supports the puddle in the molten state as you are welding out of position. This allows the puddle more time to solidify without spilling over. It allows you to run higher deposition rates and make better looking welds. Because the slag holds the puddle it also helps with making flatter and more consistent welds.
Overhead weld made with E71T-1 .045″ flux-cored wire at 425ipm. This has a deposition rate of about 8.5 lb/hr.
- Use pulse – if you happen to have a machine with pulsing capabilities, you should consider using it for your out of position welds. Pulsing power sources alternate between high and low amperage many times per second. The peak amperage is to help with penetration while the low amperage is to allow the puddle to solidify quickly. Using pulse allows you to run much higher wire feed speeds than when running straight CV (constant voltage).
Another benefit of pulse is that it can allow you to get into a spray transfer while out of position and still be able to prevent the molten puddle from spilling all over you. This means that you can take advantage of using prequalified welding procedures, if you are working according to AWS D1.1 Structural Welding Code – Steel, and avoid the costs of qualification by testing.
There are many other techniques and tricks used when welding out of position. Some, like stitching (also called triggering) can be used, but you risk lack of fusion and extremely low deposition rates which kills your productivity. You can also choose to weld downhill instead of vertical up. This is OK on thinner materials (3/16' or thinner), but when you are welding on thick sections (1/4″+) you are extremely susceptible to lack of fusion.
If you are being faced with a lot of out of position welding, use any of the three recommendations above. If you must do something else be sure to examine the risks involved.

Plot[edit]
- Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
In April 2006, Devlin 'Dev' Miski is a tiger and a cornerback on the football team for Forrester University. One night, he has a one-night stand with a vixen he picked up from a bar. As they are about to have sex, he discovers that the vixen is actually a male red fox by the name of Wiley 'Lee' Farrel. Dev leaves but not before engaging in intercourse with the fox. He tries to continue a normal college life, but at the same time tries to track down Lee by watching the outside of his apartment building. When Lee comes home one night, Dev confronts him but instead of fighting him as expected, they kiss and proceed to have sex.
For the next few months, Dev and Lee secretly meet up to have sex, in which Dev explores the homosexual lifestyle. His teammates on the football team suspect he is seeing someone because of his lighter attitutde. Lee begins to assist Dev with his football technique during their sessions together to help Dev get drafted into a professional team.
In December 2006, Lee obtains an internship as a scouter for the Hilltown Dragons from a cougar named Morty. Lee tells his best friend, Salim, of his affairs with Dev. Salim warns Lee that his ex-best friend Brian, a skunk, will want to know about it. Lee hesitates because of an incident in which Brian became intoxicated and tried to flirt with members of the football team, which in turn, resulted in Brian being put in the hospital after a beating. Even though said football players were thrown off the team, Brian maintains a fixed point of view regarding football players in a negative way and hopes to one day expose a player a homosexual. After accompanying Dev to a football combine, Brian shows up to Lee's apartment after hearing about Lee dating someone on the Forrester football team. Brian tries to threaten Dev but the tiger reassures Brian that Lee is in good paws.
Lee's parents, Brenly and Eileen Farrell are wondering about their son's efforts of his schoolwork and his social life. Especially after Brian repeatedly calls their home phone. Lee tries to juggle his schoolwork and his internship with the Dragons but finds the conflicting schedule hard to manage. Knowing he must drop one of them, Lee tells his parents about the internship and the once of a lifetime opportunity to be working with football. Brenly doesn't like the internship because it doesn't pay any money and warns Lee that if he drops school, he will stick his son with the $100,000 student loan problem. Despite his instincts saying otherwise, Lee drops the class needed to earn his degree to focus completely on scouting. After telling Dev of the money situation, the tiger promises that if he is drafted, he will pay off his loans. On the day before graduation, Brenly and Eileen fly to Forrester University to see Lee get his degree. However, during a dinner that night, Lee confesses that he dropped his Literature class and will not be graduating. Brenly is furious. But at the same time, Dev surprises the family and introduces himself as Lee's boyfriend. After a heartfelt talk with Brenly, Dev convinces him to at least talk things out with Lee.
Nineteen months later, Dev is in professional football and has just been traded to the Chevali Firebirds, coached by Samuelson (a wolf), with new teammates: Charm (a stallion), Fisher (tiger), Gerrard (a coyote), Colin (a fox), Ty (a fox), Carson (leopard), and Corey 'Killer' Mitchell (a cougar). Dev chooses to trade positions to backing up for Killer's position. Dev introduces Lee, who is dressed as a female to keep their homosexuality a secret, to Fisher. But when Lee gets spotted by some of the other Firebirds by the locker rooms and is exposed as a male, Fisher confronts Dev about his relationship with the fox. They fight, after which Dev worries he'll be penalized, but isn't when Fisher says that it's Dev's private life and should be allowed to do what he wants. Dev's agent, Ogleby (a weasel), sets Dev up with actress Caroll Chavon (a panther) in order to give both of them more publicity. Caroll wins over the approval of Dev's teammates (especially Charm). While leaving a team dinner with Caroll, Brian appears and takes a photo of Dev and Caroll, threatening to tell Lee about their affair which Dev did not warn Lee about. However, Lee tells Dev that it is okay and that he knows it's all fake.
All seems to be going well until Ogleby tries to set up an engagement between Dev and Caroll, Lee begins acting distant, and Dev worries that he will never get the starting position on the team because of Killer's newfound motivation (which involved Gerrard telling Killer about Dev trying to take his position). However, due to blind ambition, during a football game, Killer is impaled with a stag's antlers and it sent to the hospital. Dev immediately assumes the position of starter and helps the Firebirds win the game. Dev is also shocked when, after the game, Lee shows up in the locker room dressed normally. Their heart-filled reunion is cut short when Fisher catches Brian outside the locker room filming Dev and Lee. Lee takes the tape from Brian's camera before telling Fisher to let him go. Even without the video proof, Brian writes a blog outing Dev as a homosexual. Ogleby releases a press statement, claiming that Brian is lying to get attention. The resulting press coverage soon sky rockets, which causes some of Dev's teammates to avoid him. Fisher and Caroll urge Dev to deny the allegations. When Brian publishes another article claiming Dev offered him oral sex, Dev officially comes out to his teammates. Later, Lee admits that he gave Brian a hand-job in hopes of getting him to not post anything about Dev. Dev realizes that Lee is missing the activism days of college.
The next day, the Firebirds face off against another team in Aventira. However, Dev is greeted by a poor crowd holding up signs calling him a 'faggot'. The Firebirds' opponents even shout homophobic slurs during the game. During the first half, Dev cannot focus because of all of the hate surrounding him. But after a few encouraging texts from Lee, Dev brushes off the comments and goes on to win the game for the Firebirds. Brian attempts to force Dev to come out during the post-game press conference but is escorted outside. Dev finds Lee outside of his apartment where the two make up and have sex. Lee encourages Dev to go to another conference set up by Ogleby with the intent to deny all the rumors about Dev being gay. At the conference, after seeing Lee dressed up in drag and realizing he should not be afraid of who he really is, Dev confirms the rumors about being gay to the press with most of his teammates showing up to throw him their support. When asked when Dev first knew he was gay, he responds, 'Funny thing, it started with a girl.'
