Over the weekend and it is not that big of a headline yet the Zimmerman case is like the crime of the century? The black activist are up in arms about an isolated shooting which involved what they thought was a white male (turns out to be hispanic) shooting of a black teen yet the systemic black on black violence is like an afterthought or at least compared to Martin/Zimmerman case. I found this read to spell it out pretty good................. http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Journa...e-World-Get-Away-With-Killing-Of-Our-Children
Because the Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson along with their co-conspirators, the Main Stream Media Members, did not stage a rally outside their buddy Rahm's office. PERIOD. If Trayvon was a dope smoking, thug, white kid, how many of us believe this case would be news worthy? Hell, Zimmerman would not have been charged. He was not going to be charged until the race baiters got involved. What a shame. You know the jury is under extreme pressure to convict him of something. Stupidity? Is that a crime? If so, 20% of those on too hot (lefty libbies) would be in jail.
that's what gets me when we have these periodic complaints about so much Zimmerman coverage. We've had three threads on the trial, one for each week, with hundreds or thousands of comments from people who appear to be paying a whole lot of attention. I'm guessing that indicates some level of interest.
It seems rather obvious the complaint is not too much Zimmerman coverage, but a lack of coverage of the multitudes of other killings that occur nightly in places like Chicago.
Because thousands of people are murdered every year. To get attention (media or otherwise), there needs to be a unique (be it salacious or not) aspect to the killing. In this case it was to a large degree the eye-opening revelation (for a lot of people) that "stand your ground" defenses exist.
I mean how many people were murdered the year OJ was arrested? OJ's case was compelling because he was a celebrity. How dumb would it sound if someone said "how come more people care about the OJ case?" Like, there's no way people would ever need to ask that question in earnest.
Makes sense. In this case, it's the pseudo whitey killing the thug. Makes for good theater and keeps racism alive by it's peddlers. Black on black killing, not so much.
I think Jodie Arias and Casey Anthony got more discussion here than random murders in Chicago. Not sure what the angle is of threads like this.
They dont get local coverage? Something tells me the writer of the article didnt do much searching to see if the stories were covered locally. MY guess is people in Chicago are pretty concerned with crime in Chicago. People elsewhere? Not so much, unless it was done by an attractive woman, a serial killer, or some other sensational angle.
One point that I was trying to make is that folks like Jesse and Al Sharpton need to address the main problem with violence against young blacks. Until they attempt to get young blacks to stop killing other young blacks their outrage at Zimmerman seems like nothing more than their typical grandstanding.
Yeah, their gun laws are so restrictive that only the criminals can get their hands on them... Pathetic!
Please don't tell me you HAD to go back to 84 to find something. Surely there is something more relevant.

text: Space See Inside Cosmic-Ray Detector on Space Shuttle Set to Scan Cosmos for Dark Matter A fancy cosmic-ray detector, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer, is about to scan the cosmos for dark matter, antimatter and more By George Musser Illustration by Don Foley; Source for ISS model: NASA The world's most advanced cosmic-ray detector took 16 years and $2 billion to build, and not long ago it looked as though it would wind up mothballed in some warehouse. NASA, directed to finish building the space station and retire the space shuttle by the end of 2010, said it simply did not have room in its schedule to launch the instrument anymore. Saving it took a lobbying campaign by physicists and intervention by Congress to extend the shuttle program. And so the shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to take off on April 19 for the express purpose of delivering the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer (AMS) to the International Space Station. Cosmic rays are subatomic particles and atomic nuclei that zip and zap through space, coming from ordinary stars, supernovae explosions, neutron stars, black holes and who knows what—the last category naturally being of greatest interest and the main impetus for a brand-new instrument. Dark matter is one of those possible mystery sources. Clumps of the stuff out in space might occasionally release blazes of particles that would set the detectors alight. Some physicists also speculate that our planet might be peppered with the odd antiatom coming from distant galaxies made not of matter but of its evil antitwin. This is only a preview.

College of Science Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowships (SURF), Summer 2015
The College of Science, with support from donors, and in collaboration with the Center for Undergraduate Scholarly Engagement, Indiana University School of Medicine - South Bend, and Glynn Family Honors Program, will support Notre Dame undergraduate science students to engage in summer research in 2015.
Program Activities. Full-time research should be conducted for 9-10 weeks on research mentored by College of Science (COS) faculty, or with current international collaborators of COS faculty at an institute abroad. Participants must provide a thank you letter to donors and summary of their research experience before the fall semester begins, and present their research at a scientific conference or symposium within one academic year.
Support. The domestic COS Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship award consists of a $4,000 stipend and $500 for supplies. If students apply for and receive support from other university sources, the total stipend from the College of Science and the other university sources will not exceed $4,000. For the international COS-SURF the award for stipend, accommodation, and travel support will be $5,500 total.
Eligibility. Current sophomores and juniors eligible to apply should be enrolled in a College of Science major and have worked with their College of Science faculty mentors for at least one semester prior to the summer of research. Only juniors are eligible for the international COS-SURF. Successful applicants are expected to continue working with their COS faculty mentor beyond the summer of funding.
Application. Please submit your application online using urapply.nd.edu, ensuring that College of Science – Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship is checked as the program; no budget justification is needed. Students should check all programs for which they are eligible (e.g., Glynn Family Honors). Students ineligible for COS-SURF will not be considered. To be considered, the following information needs to be submitted:
A. Proposal Narrative - A proposal of no more than five pages should be uploaded as a PDF document and formatted exactly as follows:
- Cover Page: Name, gender, ethnicity, email, college, major(s), overall GPA, science GPA, career intent (e.g., M.D., Ph.D.) and research mentors, and 3-5 keywords describing the proposed research

Well, well, well. Columbia University president Lee Bollinger has just begun introducing Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. He is talking about the "genius of free speech" and "knowing thy enemies" which is awkward, because, you know, the dude is sitting right there. We'll live-blog from here. We expect fireworks, so tune in.
2 p.m.: "Mr. President you exhibit all the signs of a cruel and petty dictator," Bollinger says. He goes on to ask about treating gays, women, and dissidents with censorship and inequality. He's really getting up some momentum. The audience rewards him with mild applause.
2:03 p.m.: Bollinger brings up the Holocaust-denial stuff. Wow, we're really getting into the name-calling stuff. Ahmadinejad is "brazen," "absurd," and "naïve." "The truth is, the Holocaust is the most-documented event in human history," Bollinger says. "Will you cease this outrage?" We kind of wish he would speak slower. If we can't keep up with this, how on earth will Ahmadinejad, who needs a translator?
2:05 p.m. Ahmadinejad seems to just be sitting quietly to the side. Is he writing any of this stuff down?
2:08 p.m.: Bollinger's closing: "Frankly, and in all candor, I doubt that you will have the intellectual courage to answer these questions. I do expect you to exhibit the fanatical mind-set that characterizes everything you say and do." Bollinger is quite impressed with himself, and so is the crowd. They scream for him. More! "I am only a professor. Who is also a university president. And today I feel all the weight of the modern civilized world." Yes, you are the best university president EVER!
2:10 p.m.: Ahmadinejad is taking much of his precious allocated time to complain about his nasty introduction. Excellent. He even got a round of applause for it. It's funny, we always wanted to make fun of the Post for teasing his ill-fitting suits, but you know what? It really is ill-fitting.
2:11 p.m.: Thankfully, the translator is speaking more slowly than Bollinger. We're really feeling for the Columbia Journalism students who are covering this with their notepads. This is their clutch moment, and we're betting Columbia doesn't teach shorthand anymore
2:15 p.m.: We kind of like how Ahmadinejad is quoting all the Hebrew prophets. Some intern must have done research for him before he came. "Hey boss — at Columbia, they only speak Jewish."
2:20 p.m.: It's unclear whether the translation is odd or whether Ahmadinejad means to conflate the word "scientists" with "experts" or "journalists." He's gotten into his attacks on the United States (some countries "do not respect the privacy" of their own citizens, he says, and "create nonexistent enemies"). He brings up the U.S.'s use of the nuclear bomb in Japan and says that scientists and scholars were "misused" in that situation. Hm. Guess he does mean to be talking about scientists. That's unexpected.
2:24 p.m.: He mentions the "Ivy League." That's one hard-working intern!
2:30 p.m.: Uh-oh. Sounds like we're going to get something really bad about Israel
"Given that the Holocaust is a present reality of our time, why is there not sufficient research that can approach the topic from different perspectives?" Oh, dear, here we go. If that isn't a Holocaust denial, then it's an encouragement to look into it from the "German Perspective." Not sure which will be more offensive to students.
2:31 p.m.: Just as he gets into Iran's nuclear issue, someone signals that his time is up. "I know there's time limits, but I need time," he snaps. "A lot of time was taken from me!" Even the translator is sounding petulant. Oops! One minute.
2:35 p.m.: Now he's blaming the U.S. and other powerful countries for denying Iran nuclear power. That's why he's pursuing nuclear development. The translator is getting near-hysterical. "We are a peaceful loving nation. We love all nations!" he says to close. Students cheer and boo — sounds like more cheering, actually.
2:40 p.m.: First question, obvious: Do you want to squash Israel? "We must have Palestine decide its future for itself," he says. Mmm. "Nobody should interfere in the affairs of the Palestinian nation." Okay. This gets applause. Not quite sure whether he actually answered the question. Wow! Just as we typed that, the dean asked for a clearer answer, to loud cheers. "I think you could answer that with a simple word," he said to Ahmadinejad. "Yes or No." "This isn't really a free flow of information," Ahmadinejad shoots back. He actually is not answering the question, and the kids are really getting into it. Yeah! Debating is awesome! Oh, wait. This is about destroying a country.
2:45 p.m.: "For us in the Middle East it's quite clear which powers incite terrorists," Ahmadinejad says. He accuses the U.S. of funding terror and says Iran doesn't need to resort to terrorism. He's really unfazed by all this and shoots questions back at the crowd. Also, someone just handed him a note. We've seen 24, we know this is when the inexorably intense soundtrack should begin.
2:50 p.m.: John Coatsworth is sort of mind-boggled that Ahmadinejad insists upon more "research" into the Holocaust. Ahmadinejad is mind-boggled right back. Ooh, someone asked the gay question. Why do they have draconian laws against homosexual behavior? This is the first question that actually gives him pause. After a few moments, he starts talking about how women have a prominent role in Iranian society. Obviously. Oh, and then illegal drug trafficking. Huh.
2:52 p.m.: Best moment by far: After Coatsworth asks the gay question again, because it went unanswered, Ahmadinejad says, "In Iran we don't have homosexuals like in your country." There is laugher and booing. He looks a little sheepish but continues on: "We don't have homosexuals. In Iran we do not have this phenomenon, I don't know who told you that we have it." Man, you Americans think everyone is gay.
2:58 p.m.: Ahmadinejad cuts loose: "I have a joke here," he says. "I think politicians who are looking for the nuclear weapons are retarded." Even audience members who showed up stoned ("I can't wait to tell my kids I did this, dude") are flummoxed.
3:01 p.m.: Is it possible? Did nobody rush the stage? Did nobody heckle? Even Ahmadinejad doesn't seem to believe it. He keeps looking around like, "You're still letting me talk?"
3:05 p.m.: "From this platform I invite Columbia faculty members and students to come to Iran and speak with professors and students," Ahmadinejad says. "You're officially invited." Aw, that's nice. The speech ends to applause. Well, that was fun. Did anyone learn anything? No? Perhaps that's best.

The Loyalist Waggoners of VermontUpdated July 26, 2008 |
Linda Waggoner |
Francis Waggoner (ca. 1748-1806) and Jennet Hooper (ca. 1748-1826) from Halfmoon (or New Town), Saratoga Co., New York, relocated with their eight children to Alburgh, Franklin Co., Vermont, after the Revolutionary War. He was loyal to the Crown, but I have not been able to trace his ancestry. Some records say he spoke German, and was a Palatine. Yet several of the Waggoner children were baptized at the Schaghticoke Dutch Reformed Church in New York, where his name appears as "Wagenaer" and "Wagenen" and his wife's name "Jannetje." (I've unsuccessfully tried to connect him to the New York Van Wagenen family.) Jennet seems to have been a close relative of Stephen Hooper, a Stillwater, Albany Co., New York loyalist, who served as a spy for the British during the Revolution. The Hoopers may have come from New Jersey. In this family tree, I have included descendants of loyalist John Waggoner, who settled near Francis in Highgate, Vermont, after the war. They may have been brothers, and so, in order to include John's descendants, they are shown as such. I've also included John because he's easily confused with John Waggoner, eldest son of Francis and Jennet. "Uncle" John died in 1798, while "nephew" John, my ancestor, lived from 1769 to 1818. Some Waggoners, like my John, crossed the border to Missisquoi Co., Quebec, for loyalist land. Eventually, though, most headed west. Some gradually drifted across Vermont's western border to Franklin Co. in northern New York. Others made their way to Godmanchester, Huntingdon Co., Quebec, just north of their New York kin. But these folks grew restless too, and several left for California to seek their fortunes in gold. One Waggoner woman from Godmanchester, whose husband had preceded her, braved the grueling six-week ship passage with her children "by the way of the Nicaragua route . . . narrowly escaping shipwreck off Cape Hatteras." Less adventurous (and more prudent) Waggoners sought their livelihoods in Michigan. My John Waggoner headed, perhaps, for Godmanchester too, dying en route in 1818. For reasons unknown, his wife, Anna, and most of their children settled in Niagara Co., New York, by 1820. Anna later remarried her daughter's father-in-law in Lewiston, Niagara County. She died in 1842 bearing the name "Anna Hewitt," the reason I confirmed her whereabouts only very recently. Unfortunately, I still don't know her maiden name. Shortly after her death, her youngest child, my ancestor, Oscar Fitzallen Waggoner, ventured west to Portage, Wisconsin (and his two brothers to nearby Burr Oaks, Iowa). Oscar ran a ferry across the Wisconsin River. In 1844 he married Genevieve "Jane" Frome dit Manegre (now Manaige) and farmed to feed his growing family. Jane was a Winnebago Metis woman (and that's another great story), but I've not shown her lines in this family tree due to limits of space. I've included lots of notes, rather than merely giving the source. Some of my people are well documented; some I've claimed, erroneously or not, out of concern for leaving a lost soul unaccounted for. I'm happy to pass anyone on who does not belong here. So if you have claim, please make claim! I've also tried to delete all the still-possibly-living from this tree. If I haven't, please let me know. I welcome all inquiries. |

I was informed that Lavinia and Sandy are sharing room with another Indonesian athlete, chess young gal prodigy...The Indonesian team are placed at Orchid apartment. Each room can accomodate 3 people.
After Doha, Lavinia and Sandy return to Jakarta and fly again to Hanoi, Vietnam. They will represent Indonesian tennis team with Septi Mende and Dian Anggraini at ASEAN University Games from December 17-23, 2006. That's why, both Lavinia and Sandy withdrew from Dubai 75K.

Matrix Service's CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Although fiscal 2011 was a good year for Matrix Service Co., as both revenues and backlog increased from lower levels experienced during the recession that impacted fiscal 2010, gross margins are improved significantly in fiscal 2011, reflecting better project execution and a recovery of construction overhead costs due to higher business volume and man hours. Our Electrical and Instrumentation group was a major contributor to the company's improvement in fiscal 2011 with E&I group achieving revenue growth of 58% in fiscal 2011 compared to the prior year. In addition, our Aboveground Storage Tank construction group achieved revenue growth of 35% in fiscal 2011. Growth in these groups was partially offset by continued weakness in the Downstream Petroleum market with both the Repair and Maintenance Services and Construction Services segments combining for an 8% decline year-over-year.
We are, however, optimistic about the near-term prospects for the Downstream Petroleum market as backlog has increased over the last half of fiscal 2011. Finally, our balance sheet and liquidity remain very strong, positioning the company to execute on our strategic plans, which I will discuss later on this call.
I'd now like to turn the call over to Kevin to discuss our financial results for the period.
Kevin Cavanah
Thanks, John. In our press release yesterday, we disclosed the results of the fourth quarter and the full year of fiscal 2011. As I go through my prepared remarks, please note that the fourth quarter and full-year results for fiscal 2010 included certain non-routine charges that were previously disclosed in our SEC filings. We did not incur similar charges in fiscal 2011. First of all, revenues for the fourth quarter ended June 30, 2011, were $164 million compared to $141 million in fiscal 2010. The increase of $23 million was primarily due to turnaround activity in the Downstream Petroleum market, new awards in our AST Construction Services segment and continued growth in our Electrical and Instrumentation, Repair and Maintenance business. Consolidated gross margins for the quarter were 12.8%, compared to 2.7% in the fourth quarter last year. SG&A expenses were 6.9% of revenue for the fourth quarter compared to 7.4% in the same period last year. This produced net income for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 of $5.7 million or $0.21 per fully diluted share compared to a net loss of $4.2 million or $0.16 per fully diluted share in the fourth quarter last year.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

Posted by rose- (Ms. Sue) on Wednesday, July 23, 2008 at 9:37pm.
Stephen Krashen (in California) and Jim Cummins (in Canada) are two men who have been researching how languages are acquired (better term than learned), as well as the development of bilingualism in a person and the effects on all other subjects he/she studies and the other facets of his/her life.
You can also search here for both of them. They are excellent.
I consider all of these sites credible, primarily because their URLs end in edu (educational institution) or org (organization). Note the second site from Northern Arizona University links dozens of sites about bilingual education. The last site is biased, but provides a good argument for monolingual ballots.

Gov't. Contractors Fight for Right to Secretly Use Tax Dollars to Campaign for More Tax Dollars |
By: Jon Walker Wednesday April 27, 2011 9:36 am |

Big Majorities Feel Rich Individuals and Large Corporations Pay Too Little in Taxes |
By: Jon Walker Monday April 18, 2011 7:15 pm |
You would think, based on this poll, at least one of America's two major parties during this era of deficit hysteria and huge economic pain for the middle class would make the political decision to run on a populist platform of taxing the wealthy and our bailed-out Wall Street firms as the top way to reduce the deficit. It would be wildly popular.

In America, There Are Three Forms of Political Corruption, and Only One Is Really Illegal |
By: Jon Walker Wednesday February 2, 2011 6:25 pm |
The bane of any functioning government system is corruption. Corruption doesn't just cause unfair and poor allocation of resources, it eventually undermines faith in the government. This, in turn, can create an extremely destructive, self-reinforcing, downward spiral, eventually undermining the entire system.
The frightening thing for America is that there exists three main forms of political corruption, but, in this country, only one is illegal.

switching to bilsteins worth it?
right now i have a 3 inch lift but with spacers i had bought the truck like that and i have been thinking of switching to the blisteins just wondering if that would be worth it or just keep it as is.
Depends if you have the disposable income or not. The bilsteins will give you a much better ride on and off road with significantly less chance of doing any damage to your other front end components.
I got money saved :) just wanted to know if it would make a difference...where is a good place to purchase from?
Downsouth motors is a vendor here on TacomaWorld and if I'm not mistaken I believe they offer a discount for forum members. Regardless they probably have the best prices you're going to find on line.

Cerulean Games Takes Kickstarter To Cask With Vineyard Valley
Posted on May 29, 2013 AT 06:06am
Facebook games are all the rage. Candy Crush Saga, Angry Birds with Friends, Texas Hold Em Poker, Words with Friends, Dragon City, Farmville 2, and the list goes on. Cerulean Games is working to bring something interesting to the table: Social winemaking.
The concept isn't new, though. In fact, their project, Vineyard Valley, is technically a resurrection of a defunct Facebook game called My Vineyard by Playdom. Playdom shut down My Vineyard last March, and Cerulean was approached by a number of fans of the game to see if it would be possible to bring something like it [or better] back to Facebook. Vineyard Valley isn't just going to be a Facebook game. Cerulean plans to bring it to iOS, Android, OUYA, and pretty much any platform that their chosen game engine, Unity, will support.
What's most interesting about Vineyard Valley is that they'll be throwing the standard tropes of Facebook games to the wind.
From the press release:
Dave Calabrese, CEO of Cerulean Games, describes the new game as follows: "Vineyard Valley is a
business/tycoon game like they used to be! You won't find energy or numerous pointless quests here.
This is a sandbox game where you design, build, manage and run your very own vineyard and winery.
Grow your crops, ferment your wines, design and build your shopping village and watch the non-player
characters (NPCs) flock to your vineyard to enjoy touring it and shopping! And being an online game, you
get to visit your friends' vineyards- help them with tasks such as stomping grapes and building their
vineyard, or hold an event such as an auction, art show or put on a show! The choices are yours."
If you're like me, you may very well not play Facebook games because of some of the issues Dave mentioned above. It's exciting to see Facebook games that are actually more of an actual game, as opposed to 'a series of micro transactions disguised as a game'. The multi-platform concept is wonderful, as well. My favorite part, though: This looks like a tycoon game that is conceptually more interesting than the majority of the ones that have been coming out these days. [Toilet Tycoon, anyone?]
Check out their Kickstarter video below, then pop over to their actual Kickstarter page and throw money at them!
They've got a goal of $90,000, and as of this moment, they've got over $4,600 toward that. It's actually pretty impressive, because the project has only been taking donations since May 23rd. If they continue at this rate, they're sure to hit their goal by the July 7th end date. I really hope that they do, because this very well could represent the start of a new era of tycoon games! I've managed cities, hospitals, theme parks, pizzarias, and so forth over the years… I would certainly love to open my own vineyard. Besides, people already say I'm pretty winey.
You can find Cerulean Games on Facebook and Twitter, and they've also set up a Facebook page and Twitter account for Vineyard Valley as well! Once you're done making your pledge, stop on by. I hear tell you might get your own box of wine if you're nice enough.

See more activities in: Second Grade, Thanksgiving
Make your Thanksgiving guests feel extra special with a festive table setting. Inspired by the crispy, crunchy leaves of fall, this fanciful project is simple, easy and completely affordable. Now that's something to be thankful for!
What You Need:
- Leaf
- Yellow construction paper
- Scissors
- Red washable marker
- Orange washable marker
- Brown washable marker
- Pencil
What You Do:
- Place the leaf on one of the yellow sheets.
- Show your child how to place his hand (not his dominant one) on the leaf to keep it steady.
- Have him use his other hand to trace the leaf with a pencil.
- Remove the leaf once he's done tracing and set it aside.
- Then let him take a red, brown or orange washable marker and draw lines shooting outward from the penciled outline.
- Have your child use this method to make colored leaves on as many pieces of construction paper as there are people attending your Thanksgiving feast. Make sure he uses the different markers to create a rainbow of fall colors.
- Using the color marker that matches the color of the leaf on each sheet, neatly write each family member's name on a place marker.
- Have your child set each place marker at the table before the feast starts.
Helpful Tip:
If you want these table settings to last a little longer than just this year, laminate them!

How to most effectively use ZERO in UVHM?
- Back To:
- Board List

- Topic Archived
Also, my snipers were horrible and took several dozen headshots to kill regular enemies (I would regularirly OSK enemies in TVHM) I took most of the sniping class mods I found. I think I was using a muckamuck at the time, but it was a level 50 weapon. Even now at lvl 59, I still have trouble killing enemies after slagging them with snipers. I really enjoy sniping, the mechanics seem good for it. Is sniping even a good idea in UVHM, or should I consider using a different approach? I can provide more details if neccessary. NOT looking for modded stuff or duped items. Just looking for suggestions. --- PSN ID: Dominic935 "They look like monsters to you?" - Vincent | |
General consensus confirms that Zer0 absolutely sucks at sniping in UVHM. I'm currently using a melee/gun hybrid with the legendary COM that does some decent damage, but I still die a lot. People like full melee for absolutely destroying people with Zer0. --- Some doors are best left closed, because once open, they're easy to walk through again and again. -- GT: Wretched Owls | |
Go all melee or all gun (not sniping). Sniping is not as good as it was in pt1/TVHM and Zer0's sniping tree sucks. Maya > Zer0 for sniping. --- http://i.imgur.com/qfsbZAm.png -- GT: Gears of Wario Now Playing: Borderlands2/FFXIII-2/MW2 | |
Zero sucks, pick someone else. | |
bore/ death blossom build got me through UVHM solo http://www.bl2skills.com/assassin.html#505051500050055105410540000000 I used one shot one kill because I used infiinities, so if you don't plan to you could probably put those skill points somewhere else. --- GAMERTAG:SpankedEagle | |
I use a Cunning/B0re build that revolves around guns with a good pellet count. I usually go into deception, throw my kunai and finish them off with the Twister. Due to the unusual shape of the pellets it usually destroys everything since they almost always hit criticals. Plus if any enemies are behind them the damage is amplified by b0re. | |
I sniped with Zero early on in UVHM (before getting my melee gear) and did quite well. I filled out the sniper tree, used a sniper class mod, and made sure to use a Jakobs sniper rifle (Jakobs rifles have the highest base damage overall and often have further boosts to weapon damage and critical damage). A Bee shield is also very good to have. Don't forget to take advantage of Deception when sniping. Even without the Bee's amp, I was getting one-shot kills even on nomads and bruisers because I went into Deception and waited until the last second of it to fire, to maximize the damage bonus. A cooldown relic and a bit of patience can take you through even the toughest areas without a scratch. Usually, if you snipe someone in Deception (and you're far enough away), the enemies won't even be alerted. --- "NOOOOO!!! How will I juggle?!" | |
Sniping is fun with the Hawkeye or a good Muckamuck/Pimpernel. The Pimpernel still wrecks everything. For close range, I use a DPU Harold with Velocity, Two Fang, and Bore, and it obliterates everything including raid bosses. --- Will you take the Rocket Launcher? >Yes No |

For those with less predictable tastes, several avant-garde selections were available, including The Denouement, a thirty-minute piece of "unusual theater" that "takes place in an institution of some type, in which two visitors examine three inmates. Much of it revolves around a white-haired man who sits with his arm in the air because dropping his arm will mean the end of the world. The play ends rather abruptly," the catalogue confessed, "when his arm falls." It was just the right selection for "shock-proof audiences"--or that's how Shubert Fendrich assessed the situation thirty years ago.
But 1966 seems to have had more than its share of shocking drama. In The Cry of Crows, a lovely young girl's life is ruined "by vicious gossip which grows from a chance encounter with an old acquaintance who makes a 'pass' at her in public. The very nature of this type of play makes it somewhat difficult for some audiences to accept," the catalogue warned.
No problem. Pioneer also had children's plays, with the usual complement of talking bunnies and adorable trolls; farces, including The Four-Cornered Triangle, advertised as "an operetta without music for people who can't sing"; and the winner of Shubert's own Best Play of 1965 contest: Not Far From the Giaconda Tree, written by Tim Kelly, who had already written a half-dozen plays for Pioneer and would go on to write more than a hundred more.
In Giaconda Tree, Kelly dealt with the arguably obscure theme of seven Russian princesses living in exile in Israel. It was impressive, but not as impressive as another Kelly skill: He could write with the voice and soul of an eighth-grader--never mind which decade the eighth-grader lived in.
"I don't even know how old Tim Kelly is," Steve Fendrich says. "Maybe mid-fifties? But he's still cranking this stuff out. He thinks like a kid. He even has their sense of humor. Dad recognized his talent right away."
In 1970, when Pioneer was ten years old, Shubert recognized something else: He was bored, a feeling that always acted as a catalyst for change. No longer challenged by the Cody Rustler, he sold the paper to his employees and moved his family to Laramie, where he threw himself into pursuing a master's degree in theater. That was fine with Anne--she decided to get her own master's, in education.
Once they'd earned their degrees, though, the Fendriches decided to move on. "Sometimes I pushed things and had my way," Anne recalls. "After Laramie, I decided we should have an address that would be more conducive to a publisher of plays."
Albuquerque or Denver, she told Shubert. Either town would be big enough and Western enough--and both had the Jewish communities she'd longed for during the Wyoming years. Shubert picked Denver, and Anne picked a house within walking distance of the Jewish Community Center. With the exception of Steve, who walked into race riots on his first day of junior high, the Fendriches were excited about their new hometown. Shubert went to work as an adman. Anne tried teaching, hated it, and decided to put her considerable energies--and her education degree--into Pioneer Drama Service.
"That's when we found our focus," Steve recalls. "It turns out junior-high and high-school kids love farces. We began to find plays with lots of cameo roles instead of starring roles, so that everyone can be someone special. Kids don't like to play serious roles. They like to be goofy. Either Tim figured that out or Mom or Dad did, or they all did it together."
Anne remembers strategy sessions during which they picked apart the standard school productions. "Historical plays," she says. "They don't work. The characters are primarily male--and who shows up for auditions? Girls. Shubert knew that. He was also the first to say that we have to have plays that are actor-proof and director-proof. One light, one set, no curtain, and costumes that are incredibly easy."
Thinking they were on to something, Shubert decided to begin charging royalties for Pioneer's product. Playwright and publisher could both make more money that way, and the total amount a small theater or school would have to pay would still be much, much less than the freight for putting on a successful behemoth such as Fiddler on the Roof or Hello, Dolly. Besides, Shubert liked to think he had some properties that the big New York publishers might never have heard of.
Pioneer's biggest hits, however, might strike them as strangely familiar. "It started with the Fifties phenomenon," Steve says. "We were sitting around the office one day--me and my dad and an editor named Chris Mohr. Grease was really big, and my dad said he wished we could publish something like that, only moral. The whole point should not be that some girl gets laid. And that's how we wrote Ducktails and Bobby Sox. I wrote the lyrics myself. They are extremely mediocre."
Not that it mattered. Since it was first offered in the 1978 Pioneer catalogue, Ducktails and Bobby Sox has been performed more than 2,000 times, at high schools from Tennessee to Tokyo. "It has been incredibly successful," Steve says. "And where is it set? In the soda shoppe, of course. That's just it: the formula. You make it ninety minutes long, you have thirty kids, plus extras--cheerleaders, a love interest, lots of nerds, a motorcycle gang, a football team, lots of characters that can be male or female, always a principal and an assistant principal, and about eight songs. The songs are all in a thirteen-note range that anyone can sing."
