Gunzerker thoughts - How to balance max 'zerking time with survivability and DPS
- Back To:

- Page 1 of 2
- Last
I'm currently flip-flopping over what I want to do with my build. I am Lvl 50, and this is my current build:
I don't have super 1337 gear (i don't think, anyways)
I have an Evolution Shield that has 36k capacity, 72% ER, and +23k health, a 46% vitality relic, and a Slayer of Terramorphus mod. Meteor Shower grenade mod that is 66k x 12 (holy **** that thing is awesome).
I usually roll with a slag SMG and Purple Casual Ravager that does like 8.5k x 18, and then a Sapping Shock Kitten alongside a Hot Kitten (fire). I have a corrosive pistol that does about 10k damage for when we come across armored foes.
Part of me wants to spec more into the Gunlust tree to get things like Money Shot, Auto-Loader, and Down Not Out. But I am afraid to sacrifice survivability from Brawn tree and/or all the duration/cooldown bonuses for Gunzerking from the Rampage Tree. I love being able to be in Gunzerk mode almost all the time during combat.
Just wondered if the GameFAQers had any thoughts on finding the sweet spot between these three trees and if there were any suggestions and/or favorite builds.

BTW the reason I listed my gear is mainly just so you guys have an idea of what I'm working with...I know several builds can be significantly dependent on gear.
MarioKart 64 Main: Bowser
GT: SevenDeadIySin
...i've been there...most of those builds stated are specifically focused on one tree and/or require gear that I don't have to be truly effective.
this was meant to be a topic for discussion - but, oh well.

Nice build for boss killing, I guess. For regular gameplay I prefer something with Inconcievable+5or6

I haven't really ran into any ammo issues...I've never invested into either of those skills. Why do you prefer them?

Have you seem my flamezerker build?

Have you seem my flamezerker build?
If it was on the gearbox forums, Im sure I have. If im thinking correctly though it requires the Flame of the Firehawk, something I don't have (yet).
My friend and I co-op the game and while we have beaten TVHM and everything is now re-leveled to 50, we haven't gone back to do all the sidequests, etc that we skipped.
MarioKart 64 Main: Bowser
Ooh word. Yeah, it's a good time.
You could also go with the new rough rider build.
StormWolf12 posted...
Ooh word. Yeah, it's a good time.
Word on the street is that the rough rider shield is bugged with -shield capacity mods, so if you're using them and expecting to get bonuses from your 'no shield' skills it doesn't happen. So no Titan mods?
what's the skinny on all that?

Mussels "BLT" Recipe
Mar 11, 2011 8:00 am
Bacon-infused broth adds a twist to these mussels
Mussels have become one of the more versatile items in the chef's repertoire, a sort of base to throw all sorts of intriguing flavors against. We've recently had 'em with hints of Merguez sausage, soaking up garlic broth, and drenched in Guinness. But for this Food Republic recipe, we've gone down a different path, using bacon and arugula to channel our old friend the BLT. The only things we'll suggest besides following these steps are: have lots of crusty bread handy for sopping up (or frites, if you can); keep a couple or three cold brews nearby; and please, whatever the resemblance to an actual BLT, hold the mayo!
Servings: 4 servings
4 slices bacon, 1/2-inch dice
2 shallots, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup canned crushed tomatoes
1 cup white wine
1 teaspoon chili flakes, crushed
3 pounds mussels, de-bearded and scrubbed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup arugula
- Heat a large straight-sided saute pan over medium heat. Add the bacon and saute until the fat is rendered, about 5 minutes.
- Add the shallots and garlic and saute until softened, another 3 minutes.
- Stir in the olive oil, crushed tomatoes, salt, and white wine and chili flakes. Bring to a simmer, add the mussels, and cover.
- Steam until mussels open, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Discard any unopened mussels. Stir in the butter, lemon juice, and arugula.

McDonald, who served as President of the ITU from its inception in 1989 until 2008, is largely credited with the inclusion of triathlon in the Olympic Programme, which made its debut at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney.
"Receiving Olympic Order is a tremendous honour and I would like to thank all of those who gave their support," McDonald said. "With this, and the election of ITU President Marisol Casado to the IOC, it has been a historical past few weeks for the sport."
ITU President Casado, who was elected as an IOC member in Vancouver on February 12, was on hand at the Session to congratulate her predecessor.
"On behalf of the ITU and the entire triathlon community I would like to congratulate Les for this honour. His tireless work ethic was vital in growing the sport of triathlon and on its inclusion in the Olympic Programme," Casado said. "We look forward to carrying this momentum through 2010 and beyond as we push for triathlon's continued growth, particularly among youth."
The press release was issued by the ITU.

23rd annual Children's Star Gala nets more than $2 million to support the care of unborn babies and their mothers
Children's signature event has raised more than $17 million since its inception in 1992
MINNEAPOLIS, April 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — More than 1,100 people filled The Historic Milwaukee Road Depot on Saturday, April 5 and raised more than $2 million for Children's Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota's fetal care program. The Midwest Fetal Care Center, a collaboration of Children's and Abbott Northwestern, is the only fetal care program of its kind in the Upper Midwest that treats babies before they are born.
The evening was complete with inspirational stories from patient families and doctors, silent and live auctions, as well as dinner and dancing. Children's Star Gala has raised more than $2 million each of the last three years.
This year, proceeds from Children's Star Gala supported the Midwest Fetal Care Center. Children's has a proud history caring for babies around the region, including those most fragile due to prematurity and other congenital conditions, while delivering some of the best outcomes in the country. Now, thanks to advances in fetal medicine, Children's is able to detect, diagnose and treat potential problems before a baby is born – including, where necessary, performing surgery on a baby while still inside its mother's womb.
"Once again, I am astounded by the generosity of the Twin Cities community shown at Children's Star Gala," said Theresa Pesch, RN, president of Children's Foundation. "Our goal for the Midwest Fetal Care Center is to be one of only a handful of advanced fetal care centers in the country. With the support shown by our generous donors, I have no doubts we are positioned to achieve that goal."
During the event, guests gave a standing ovation to 9-year-old Children's patient Cecilia Savard following her performance of "Let It Go" from Disney's "Frozen." Treated at Children's for a broken arm, Cecilia was put at ease by a technician who entered her room singing. Before long, Cecilia's cast was set and she and the technician had entertained the whole clinic.
The audience was also deeply moved by parents Jake and Andi Jo Kurtz, who shared the story of their daughter, Astella, who was diagnosed with an extensive abdominal defect before birth. Her condition was so severe that other experts from across the country said she had zero chance of survival. Undeterred, the Midwest Fetal Care Center developed a customized treatment plan for Astella; one that had never been attempted before elsewhere. After multiple procedures and 140 days in Children's NICU, she has beaten all odds and is now a happy 13-month old.
KARE11 meteorologist Belinda Jensen served for the fifteenth time as event emcee.
A photo recap of the evening's festivities can be found on the Children's Mighty Blog.
Major sponsors of Children's Star Gala included: Whitebox Mutual Funds; United Health Foundation; Ryan Companies US, Inc. and Ryan families; and Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, LLP.

CONCORDIA — The Sweet Springs Greyhounds got their first taste of live football under first year head coach Kris Conley at Friday's four-team jamboree.
Each team got 12 offensive plays, and the Greyhounds kicked things off by outscoring the host school 6-0. The teams didn't kick extra points, field goals or line up for a two-point conversion.
Seniors Trevor Phillips and Austin Boland each ran for a first down on the first drive of the night, which led to a touchdown run for senior quarterback Andrew Krause.
Both defenses held strong after that. Sweet Springs forced a three and out, allowed one first down and got an interception from junior Austin Knitmeir.
"Defensively for the most part I felt like we got to the football pretty well," Conley said.
The Greyhounds struggled against the St. Paul Lutheran Saints, which scored two touchdowns and allowed none.
The Saints converted a fourth down play and ran in for a score on their first drive. On the second drive, the Saints' running back broke several tackles on his way to a 35-yard score.
"We made some plays, but we made a few mistakes," Conley said. "As a coach you are always looking to improve."
The Greyhounds had three drives, but only managed a three and out, a fumble and a first down run from junior Rhett Snider on the team's final play.
The Greyhounds finished off the night with several big plays against the Santa Fe Chiefs.
Santa Fe drove down for a score to start the scrimmage, but the Greyhounds stopped them from scoring again and followed it up with three touchdowns of their own.
Snider caught a 26-yard pass that led to his nine-yard scamper to the end zone.
Boland ran in for his own score from about 20 yards out and Phillips connected with junior Mario Percell for a 35-yard touchdown to outscore the Chiefs 18-6.
"We just came out here to work our offense, make some plays and have a little fun," Conley said.
Sweet Springs opens the regular season next week at Windsor.

'Iskul Bukol' in the Senate
The circumstances surrounding the acts of plagiarism committed by Sen. Vicente Sotto III, in the first two installments of his controversial "turno en contra" speech at the Senate last week, are so comical, so ridiculous, they invite disbelief. Did Sotto, the majority leader, really tell ANC's Karen Davila that he was not obliged to attribute the passage he and his staff lifted almost word for word, comma for misplaced comma, from American blogger Sarah Pope because "blogger lang 'yon [she's only a blogger]"?
Did his chief of staff, lawyer Hector Villacorta, really leave an extended comment in Pope's blog that became an instant classic of offensive stupidity phrased in legal gobbledygook? "We are both indebted to the book's author [Natasha Campbell-McBride] but if you wish that you also be credited with the contents of the book, let this be your affirmation. I can do it and by this message, I am doing it."
Did Villacorta really tell GMA News, after news broke that the second part of Sotto's speech also had at least three instances of outright plagiarism, as pointed out by the likes of prizewinning novelist Miguel Syjuco, that one can appropriate anything from the Internet? "Yes, the Internet is a free range of ideas for the world to see. It's in the free atmosphere."
And did Sotto really say to the Star (as quoted in the helpful timeline prepared by Filipino Freethinkers, whose blogger Alfredo Melgar was the first to find the passages lifted from Pope) that "Plagiarism, whether you give attribution or not, applies only if you contend that the contents are yours"?
It is tempting to respond to this series of intellectually dishonest rationalizations, this dumbfounding serial comedy, by simply laughing at the ridiculousness of it all. At a fraught moment in a once-in-a-generation legislative debate, one of the key players in the Senate turns out to follow the academic standards of the infamous Wanbol University—you know, that fictional school in "Iskul Bukol" where one of the most popular characters Sotto created, back when he was still doing full-time comedy, held court as king of school hijinks.
This makes us realize that there may be no better way to put Sotto's acts of plagiarism and his and his staff's tortured defense in perspective than to quote that satirical blogger, The Professional Heckler. Out of many laugh-out-loud passages, we choose this: "Yet latest online reports reveal Tito Sotto plagiarized the work of not just one BUT four bloggers to be exact… prompting actress Cherie Gil to quip, 'You're nothing but a second-rate trying hard copy-paste!'"
To be sure, Sotto is not the only high-profile personality wrestling with issues of intellectual fraud, which is the bottom line of any act of plagiarism. The influential Time writer and CNN host Fareed Zakaria was recently suspended for a month by both news organizations for lifting one passage from the work of Harvard professor and New Yorker writer Jill Lepore. Unlike Sotto, however, Zakaria readily admitted to the mistake. And according to both Time and CNN, they found no other instance of plagiarism in Zakaria's work.
Sotto, however, remains a piece of work. He is reported to be preparing a privilege speech this week to defend himself against the charges of plagiarism by claiming that what political operatives call a demolition job has been ordered against him. If only he didn't provide his detractors with the sticks of dynamite himself. As The Professional Heckler's own tagline reminds us: "The problem with political jokes is they get elected."
But, important as the issue of plagiarism is, the deeper issue in the Philippines is the fate of the long-awaited Reproductive Health bill. It is here where the real import of Sotto's cut-and-paste approach to his speeches can be seen. He is ready to use everything—the work of bloggers he does not deign to acknowledge, dubious or at least ambiguous research, the sloppy legal justifications of his staff, even emotional blackmail—to stop the bill from becoming law. That is the real joke, but nobody's laughing.

ClassicsOnline Home » SCHUMANN, R.: Abegg Variations / Piano Sonata No. 2 / Fantasie, Op. 17 / Toccata (Biret Solo Edition, Vol. 4) > Review List
"The most exciting young pianist to come to Montreal in years. She has a personal magnetism that belongs only to a certain type of virtuoso performer, one who succeeds in hypnotizing you no matter how what he or she is playing… Miss Biret is one of the finest natural Schumann players I have ever come across. In fact I cannot recall ever hearing a better all round performance of Schumann's Fantasiestücke in any concert hall in this city."
THE MONTREAL STAR Canada
"Idil Biret deservedly belongs among the most important leading musicians on the Naxos label. Her Chopin can be recognised blindfold after a few notes…I regard her Schumann-Debussy-Tchaikovsky disc ( href="/catalogue/product.aspx?pid=8.550885">8.550885) as a real jewel. Schumann's Scenes from Childhood are seen through the eyes of an adult. Biret's Debussy is full of sensitivity and intimate feeling."
KLASSIK FORUM - Germany
"Idil Biret takes the opening movement of Schumann's Kinderszenen very briskly and impetuously, but the performance then settles down and is sensitive and well characterized, especially the closing Golliwog's Cakewalk. Good recording and recommendable couplings too (Naxos 8.550885)."

The BJP's announcement that L.K. Advani will be its prime ministerial candidate in the next general election is a hasty move, born of a lack of confidence and his losing grip on the party. It is clear that there is more than one contender for the Prime Minister's post in the BJP. If Narendra Modi wins the Gujarat elections, the old brigade within the party will be further isolated. He is the only serious challenger to Mr. Advani with Atal Bihari Vajpayee being old and in poor health, and Rajnath Singh and Venkaiah Naidu performing poorly in their home States. No other leader is in the reckoning.
L. Santhosh,
It is difficult to visualise Mr. Advani as the Prime Minister of India, despite the BJP's compulsions to project him as such. It would be a step in the backward direction if our country is led by one who faces criminal charges. One would indeed have to be naïve to forget the hatemongering indulged in by him during the rath yatra, and his winking at the ethnic cleansing in Gujarat. It will be difficult to respond positively to a leader who seems to be coming to terms with the reality of India being a multicultural country by making an out-of-character observation about the neighbouring country. However, one is thankful for the comic relief provided by the act of a person seeking the blessings of his contemporary.
Mushtaqh Ali,
It is true that the BJP reached its high point in history under Mr. Advani's leadership. But he was also the man who led the movement to build a Ram temple in the place of the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya. Its demolition resulted in communal violence in many States. I cannot accept Mr. Advani as Prime Minister because the person who occupies this post should have the ability to carry everyone along. I do not know whether Mr. Advani is communal or secular but I know he is anti-Muslim.
Abdul Hannan,

Also on the bench are Adriaan Strauss, Trevor Nyakane, Francois Hougaard and Zane Kirchner, none of whom have played any Test rugby yet this season.
Two players, Pollard and Marcell Coetzee, have not yet featured for the Springboks this year, while four of these are replacements who have been promoted to the starting team, namely Lwazi Mvovo, Schalk Burger, Lood de Jager and Coenie Oosthuizen.
Tendai Mtawarira (neck), Flip van der Merwe (knee) Willem Alberts (concussion) and Johan Goosen (knee) were not considered for selection this week. Goosen has been released from the squad and has returned to Bloemfontein to continue his final phase rehabilitation at the Toyota Cheetahs.
"We had to make a number of changes to the team and while team selection is never easy, especially this week when we had to make a few hard decisions, it's been great to see the excitement under the players for this final Test of the series," said Springbok coach Heyneke Meyer.
"Our plans had always been to try a few new combinations this week against Scotland and I'm looking forward to see the guys grab their opportunities."
Meyer said Pollard had always been part of his plans for the Castle Lager Incoming Series, but that his selection as SA Under-20 captain meant he could only join the squad this week.
"Handré is a very talented player and has a big opportunity this week, but he'll have Fourie du Preez's experience next to him, while he's played a lot with Jan Serfontein before. It's great to have the current and a former World Junior Player of the Year in the same backline.
"The other new faces in the starting line-up have been part of our squad for some time and they all deserve a run."
On the composition of the bench, Meyer commented: "Adriaan, Trevor, Francois and Zane know what it's about while the other guys will bring energy and enthusiasm with them.
"All of them deserve this chance. 'Oupa' still played Varsity and Vodacom Cup rugby earlier this season before he got an opportunity to play Vodacom Super Rugby for the Cheetahs because of injuries. He took his chance and now he's on the cusp of making his Test debut," said Meyer.
"Marnitz and Marcel have shone for their franchises this year and patiently waited in the last couple of weeks, always working hard and putting in everything at our training sessions. Stephan only joined us on Monday, but he made an impression already at our training camp in Durban last month and slotted in without any problems this week.
"Marcel, Stephan, 'Oupa' and Marnitz all made their Vodacom Super Rugby debuts earlier this year following injuries to other players and it's great to see so many younger players come through the ranks."
The Springboks will face a confident Scotland side on Saturday after they've beaten the USA, Canada and Argentina on tour in the last three weeks.
"They are always a tough opponent, like we saw last year in Nelspruit, but our aim is to build on the two victories over Wales in the last fortnight," said Meyer.
Meanwhile, Van der Merwe has joined a long list of injured players who will not play again this season after he was ruled out for six months following examination by specialists in Pretoria. He injured his posterior cruciate ligaments.
Mtawarira, who has a bulging disc in his neck and consulted with a specialist in Durban earlier this week, will be monitored for the next two weeks before a decision on his return to the field will be made.
The following players missed out on the entire or part of the Castle Lager Incoming Series because of injury: Jean de Villiers (knee), Damian de Allende (knee) Eben Etzebeth (foot), Jaque Fourie (ankle), Pat Lambie (bicep), Frans Malherbe (concussion), Scarra Ntubeni (foot), Pieter-Steph du Toit (knee), Franco van der Merwe (ankle), Arno Botha (knee), Pierre Spies (bicep), Louis Schreuder (hand), Gio Aplon (elbow), Juan de Jongh (pneumonia), Mtawarira, Van der Merwe, Alberts and Goosen.
Seven players based in France and England have been released to their clubs and were not available for selection this week. they are They are Gurthrö Steenkamp, Schalk Brits, Bakkies Botha, Francois Louw, Morné Steyn, Wynand Olivier and Bryan Habana.

Gramercy Park Hotel
2 Lexington Avenue, New York City, NY, USA
Neighborhood: Manhattan - Gramercy Park
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
You can call the Gramercy Park Hotel a "hip hotel" if you want to — it's just that these days hip means something very different from what it used to. Nowadays interiors as cold and white as upholstered ice are commonplace, and a hotel just isn't a proper boutique unless its lobby is overflowing with forced architectural whimsy and its bar is overflowing with the sort of people who exist only to be photographed at parties.
That sort of thing used to be cool, as ludicrous as it sounds. But the new cool looks something like this: not the desiccated atmosphere of a furniture showroom but rather an eclectic, bohemian approach, like someplace a very successful artist might live — someone like, say, Julian Schnabel, who by an extraordinary coincidence happens to have designed the interiors at the Gramercy Park Hotel, along with the famous British architect John Pawson. And instead of a velvet rope lined with vapid party people, you'll have some genuine exclusivity about the place: a bar for drinks and socializing, not staged photo ops.
If this is indeed the new face of the boutique hotel, then the coming years, as competitors scramble to imitate the place, will be happy ones: we're all for bigger, more livable rooms, bathrooms spacious enough to function properly, professional service, an art collection straight out of MoMA, and a tinge of nostalgia for the refined glamour of prewar (or at least pre-disco) Manhattan.
Among the Gramercy Park's attractions is Maialino, by the award-winning restaurateur Danny Meyer (Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Cafe, Shake Shack), with designs by David Rockwell and inspired by Meyer's love of Italy. The hotel also offers the Rose and Jade bars, the spa and fitness center and, of course, the park: guests have access to Gramercy Park itself, the only private park in Manhattan.

About Chesterfield Gorge
Experience this imposing gorge carved by a National Wild and Scenic River, then choose from great fishing, hiking, and biking options just downstream.
What makes Chesterfield Gorge a special place?
We think it's the way this remarkable natural formation allows visitors to experience both the region's geologic past and its recreational potential. The ancient rock emerged from the seabed a half-billion years ago, then was carved for thousands of years by glacial action and roaring meltwater. Today, this stretch of the Westfield River attracts walkers and cyclists, photographers and anglers.
This dramatic rock canyon features 70-foot-high walls carved by centuries of rushing water from the East Branch of the Westfield River. On your hike of the half-mile trail along the cliff tops, you'll take in breathtaking views of the gorge, the river, and the surrounding forest, which nurtures hemlock, ash, and oak, and is home to bears, bobcats, and turkeys.
Chesterfield Gorge is the entrance to an extensive natural recreation area along the Westfield, a federally designated Wild and Scenic River for its strong ecological and recreational values.
A half-mile trail runs along the top of the Gorge. Easy walking. The trail from the parking lot connects to the East Branch Trail (also known as River Road), popular with day hikers and mountain bikers, which follows the river another seven miles, beyond Bliss State Forest. This longer trip leads to the broad basin above Knightsville Dam, a massive Army Corps of Engineers flood control project.

April 1 to December 1, daily, 8AM to sunset. Allow a minimum of ½ hour.
Seasonal public restrooms. Picnic tables.

Property History
Stone abutments of a c.1762 bridge that spanned the river are all that remain of an important link in the former post road between Boston and Albany, NY. Stagecoaches used the bridge, and a toll gate was established at its eastern end. During the Revolutionary War, redcoats marched over this bridge toward Boston following their defeat at Saratoga, NY. In 1835, floodwaters swept away the bridge along with nearby gristmills and sawmills.
Property Acquisition History
Original acreage acquired in 1929. Additional land purchased in 1949 with funds given by Sidney L. Beals and Mrs. Stanley King. Additional land given by the Pioneer Valley Association in 1950; Quinnehtuk Co. in 1955; and Stanley and Mildred Greimann in 1994.

The urge to write (something) has been with me for years but I've never given time and energy to the task. What I'd like to know is "Why do I have this urge to write?" Perhaps, I should write about my urge to write. Well, that's enough writing for now – I'm worn out.

The nine-minute-long song, now being shot as a music video, will be released commercially next month when the Himalayan nation observes its traditional Teej festival.
Regarded as a feminine festival during which women, young and old, dress up in red and dance and feast together in an act of solidarity, the event became open to transgenders after Nepal's political parties and a former prime minister's wife began to include members of the community in their invitations.
The song, written by a third-gender in her 20s, who calls herself Samikshya, combines the style of folk songs with modern elements that focus on the rising gay rights movement in the once conservative kingdom.

Wood Tech Summit Keynoter Shares Lessons Learned from Fire
By Rich Christianson | Posted: 10/24/2012 10:50AM
VANCOUVER, BC – Denis Staples, co-owner and president of Deslaurier Custom Cabinets of Renfrew, ON, kicked off the Day 2 of Wood Tech Summit with a keynote presentation on how his company rebounded after a 2009 New Year's Day fire wiped out its 95,000-square-foot plant, including all of its manufacturing equipment and 150 full kitchens that were ready to be shipped to customers after the holiday break.
The company's Phoenix rising from the ashes story is chronicled in the book, "That'll Never Work: Business Lessons from Successful Canadian Entrepreneurs." The book has been a No. 1 best seller for non-fiction in Canada.
Denis Staples, co-owner and president of Deslaurier Custom Cabinets, tells audience members of Wood Tech Summit, what he learned from a devastating fire. Staples said the fire was sparked by a welding crew working at the plant. Sparks touched off sawdust trapped between an older cracking concrete roof and a newer one that was added over the former. Most of the damage, he added, was caused by smoke and water pumped by firefighters to douse the flames.
The day after the fire, Staples and his partner, Jim Deslaurier, talked on the phone about what they should do about their business that had been growing exponentially, hitting $24 million in sales in 2008. "On January 2, 2009 we did not cry over spilled milk," Staples said. "Instead we saw an opportunity" to build a better cabinet manufacturing company.
Staples pointed to two saving graces that gave his partner and he reason for hope. First, the company did not skimp on insurance and was ultimately able to receive approximately $10 million including $4 million for equipment, $1 million for lost inventory and $5 million for business interruption. Second, Staples said an office worker who lived near the plant ran into the building in the early stages of the fire to rescue key company data, including customer information.
Refilling Customer Orders
While the first order of business was working with the insurance company to reach a settlement, the company wasted no time in contacting a cabinet company to produce the 150 cabinet orders damaged in the fire. The company, which had lost a lot of its export business because of the sudden downturn of the U.S. economy, eagerly accepted the opportunity to fill Deslaruier's orders using the information that had been salvaged from company computers.
Next, Deslaurier set to design and build a new plant. It chose a location near its former one in Renfrew, but decided to make it only 50,000 square feet. In addition, the company made a conscious decision to build a separate warehouse further away from the plant so that if another fire occured it wouldn't lose its inventory again as well.

CHICAGO (AP) — Nebraska coach Bo Pelini has a message for potential football players: Put away your phones, tablets and computers, and start practicing your communication skills.
Communication key for Nebraska's Pelini
Pelini said Thursday at Big Ten media days that the rapid rise of social media and other forms of communication have had a detrimental effect on the communication skills that are found more frequently in older generations.
"These kids, they're in a different day and age," he said. "Getting them to, obviously that goes to communication on the field, but I'm also talking about ... building leaders and developing leaders and getting guys, because to lead you've got to be able communicate. You can't lead anything if you don't have great communication, and that isn't natural to this generation."
"If you had a problem with somebody, our generation just walked up and you confront somebody, you talk to them face to face. Now they send a text."
The 45-year-old Pelini said communication on the field has become a major point of emphasis for the Cornhuskers.
"We can't harp on it enough," he said, "to the point where, you can't assume anything. You have to constantly enforce it and reinforce it and reinforce it again and demand it."
A BAD WORD: Kirk Ferentz is entering his 14th season at Iowa, making him the dean of Big Ten coaches. Even if he doesn't care for the term.
"Never call a football coach a dean," he said. "That's a misnomer."
Ferentz begins the year with a 100-74 record with the Hawkeyes, behind only Hayden Fry on the school victory list. Iowa is coming off a 4-8 season, including four losses by three points or less, and opens on Aug. 31 against Mid-American Conference champion Northern Illinois.
Ferentz said his long run at the school is attributable to a couple of factors.
"I think it's a reflection of two things," he said. "I work with great people, day in and day out, and then I work at a place that's sort of like the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think that traditionally our administration gets it and they understand there's going to be highs and lows."
COACHING TREE: Michigan State coach Mark Dantonio said Jim Tressel never overruled him while he was the defensive coordinator at Ohio State, and it's important to him to give the same freedom to his coaches with the Spartans.
The way Tressel treated his assistants is something that sticks with Dantonio to this day.
"I try to do a lot of things like Tress in terms of how you treat people and things of that nature," Dantonio said. "Again, I go back, you know what are my goals for our assistant coaches? It's those relationships. It's launching a career. Their graduation is when we go (to) a BCS game or a Rose Bowl or January 1 game or a championship game. That's their graduation, and then I help them launch their career."
SEASON-ENDING SLIDE: Illinois lost its last nine games last year, including a 50-14 loss at Northwestern to conclude the dismal 2-10 season.
For quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase, it was quite the learning experience.
"Going through last year, you learned a lot," he said, "not only about yourself on the field, but you learned about yourself just as from a character standpoint, from a leadership standpoint. I think leadership is really easy when things are going well and everything's good, but you don't truly know yourself until you deal with some struggles and some hard stuff."

The death penalty may be a hot issue this election year, but when the topic comes up on the campus of Southern Methodist University, more often than not it evokes February 25, 1987: the day football died. Thirteen years ago the NCAA sentenced the Dallas school to the death penalty—the only time in college football that a university has been banned from playing—crippling the storied program that produced Doak Walker in the late forties and the famed Pony Express in the early eighties. The decade following the Mustangs' return to the field in 1989 has been notable only for its lack of notability: They've been through the desert on a horse with no name.
On September 2, however, SMU will unveil Gerald J. Ford Stadium, part of a $56.8 million complex built on the site of the old facility, Ownby Stadium. While big-time football may have left SMU, big money obviously never did. The university hopes that the largest athletic investment in its history will serve to unite the student body and restore a sense of identity lost during a decade of fumbling around in a post-sanction concussion. At stake for SMU, though, is much more than proving that its boosters can donate in a legal manner. The question is, Can a shiny new home wipe the slate clean?
Of course, no one really knows. However, the excitement surrounding the season opener against the Kansas Jayhawks is a feeling that Mustang fans have not had for a long time (check out the countdown to the game—measured to the tenth of a second—at www.smu.edu). That energy is entirely attributable to the stadium, and the 32,000-seat arena is indeed a beaut. Resolutely built in the Collegiate Georgian style of the rest of the campus, its horseshoe-shape and the redbrick arches of the facade conjure the classic associations of college football: breezy fall afternoons, the band playing after a score, Keith Jackson in the booth.
Recruiting was and always will be difficult for a school of 10,000 students, like SMU, as it must compete against bigger, better-known universities, like Texas A&M and the University of Texas. But after the Mustangs posted mediocre records throughout the seventies, head coach Ron Meyer brought the team to national prominence in 1981 with the explosive attack of option quarterback Lance McIlhenny and running backs Craig James and Eric Dickerson. The offense, known as the Pony Express, went 10-1 that year and set the table for an undefeated 1982 campaign under new head coach Bobby Collins. After a Cotton Bowl win over Dan Marino and the University of Pittsburgh, the Mustangs finished the season ranked number two in the nation.
Even during those heady days, though, the pall of NCAA investigations into recruiting violations hovered over the campus. The offenses came in the form of cash payments to players, cars, rent-free apartments, and more from overzealous boosters or assistant coaches. In 1981 the NCAA found 29 instances of wrongdoing and put the Mustangs on notice with a two-year probation. In 1985 another investigation brought more sanctions: the loss of 45 scholarships over two years, a one-year television ban, and a two-year bowl ban. Incomprehensibly, the violations arrogantly continued, so in 1987 the NCAA dropped its Fat Man on SMU: no football for an entire year.
Only the 1987 season was officially killed, but the devastation has been long-term. The Mustangs canceled their 1988 season and have been moribund on the field ever since, posting a record of 33-85-3 with only one (barely) winning season. "During the death penalty, this apathy set in," says Jim Johnston, the president of Frost Bank in Dallas and one of SMU's most active boosters. "People found out they didn't have to go to football games every Saturday."
Though 1-10 seasons are hard enough to endure, the Mustangs lost more than just games. During the time that SMU was at its lowest, the landscape of college football was changing, as conferences were becoming more exclusive to attract precious television dollars. When the Southwest Conference atomized in 1995, SMU found itself searching for a new home. As UT, Texas A&M, Baylor, and Texas Tech joined the powerful Big 12, SMU shared a cab with Rice and Texas Christian University over to the Western Athletic Conference ( WAC) to battle such far-flung misfits as Nevada, Fresno State, and Hawaii in late-night time slots on ESPN. More humiliation came last year after it was rumored that both SMU and TCU—close rivals for 85 years—were leaving the WAC for the more streamlined Conference USA. But when the invitations came, only TCU got the bid. "We weren't so upset about not going to Conference USA; it was just the pain of rejection," says Johnston. To top it all off, more recruiting violations were discovered last year. Though they were attributed to a single assistant coach, who was fired, the specter of foul play took a significant toll on the recruiting class.
A few years previously, though, the SMU faithful had begun to get serious about wrenching the program out of its torpor. People like Lamar Hunt, an SMU alumnus, a member of the pro football Hall of Fame, and the owner of the Kansas City Chiefs; Bob Folsom, a former mayor of Dallas; and Johnston all agreed that a new stadium could work wonders. Working with athletic director Jim Copeland, Hunt and Folsom co-chaired the fundraising campaign.
Things got off to a fast start. Gerald J. Ford, an SMU alum and the CEO of California Federal Bank, provided the first donation, an eye-popping $20 million. Lamar Hunt, oilman Ray Hunt, and Houston businessman Paul Loyd, Jr. (for whom the adjacent sports complex is named) contributed $5 million each, and businessman Sherrill Pettus threw in $3 million. By the time SMU even went public with the campaign, in June 1997, the school had amassed $33 million. The next $20 million took only two years to raise, and when all was said and done, the total sum

Silent Storm demo performance
Anyone notice slowdowns even with no AA/AF at 1280x960? (FX 5900)
Yeah this game is a hog. Max detail chugs quite a bit on my system.
It seemed to run great here. In 1024x768 4x 16x though. I played through both missions. 2500+ w/ 9700P.
Can anyone help me get this game working?
I just see a blue-ish haze, like 100% fog on screen. I can see the interface though, and hear sounds.
Edit: If I run in 16bit color modes it works okay. Still like to get it running properly.
Athlon xp2100
Epox nForce2
What a clunky game. It takes ages for me to accomplish what I want my character to do. A shame really.
I see this demo is on file planet now. With the latest nV drivers, this game now runs fine. It must be run in 32bit color modes, or all the pixel shader effects are disabled. I played the tutorial and the two demo levels and had loads of fun. I think there is a bug in the ragdoll physics code because the dead bodies can slow the game something shocking. I tested this by picking up a bunch of corpses and throwing them back on the ground a few meters away causing frame rate to rise from something like 8fps to 30fps (using FRAPS). Definately worth a look if you ever enjoyed XCom or Jagged Alliance. The game is an evolution of turn based (semi-real-time) tactical combat, but this particular game has almost fully destructable environments, dynamic light and shadow and physics simulation. It is quite impressive to man a heavy machine gun and chew through a building with it.
sounds good. I was looking forward to this game, but I hope it isn't a turtle to run.

Boltropes change dimension over time due to the constant stretching (they get progressively shorter over time) and that leads to increased draft, draft aft and with a hooked up leech. Also, a boltroped sail unless otherwise specified when built will be designed for ~15kts. of wind strength and if you sail at ~5kts the luff section will be too 'rounded' ... and you will easily get so-called 'backwind' because of the deep draft shape.
Go to... and go to the section on checking the boltrope near the end of the article by checking the angle that the boom makes with the mast when the sail is raised, etc. If that angle isnt 'right' then take the sail to a sailmaker and have the boltrope 'eased' .... pretty cheap alteration. Note - a woven dacron mainsail that is typically flown/used in 'light' winds should have less 'boltrope preload' so that the luff entry shape is more or less FLAT.
The most common cause of shape distortion in a woven dacron mainsail is not 'stretched out' but rather a 'shrunken boltrope' ...... OR the sail isnt being properly 'stretched out' with proper halyard tension when being raised.
hope this helps.
Thanks, that is great stuff. I've never even heard of a boltrope.

Baylor women beat Stanford to reach title game
DENVER All season long, Brittney Griner and Baylor have taken everyone's best shot.
They haven't blinked.
After Sunday night's 59-47 victory over Stanford, the Lady Bears are one win from a perfect season and NCAA history as the first team to win 40 games.
Standing in the way of Baylor becoming the seventh women's team to go through a season unbeaten is Notre Dame - a team the Lady Bears beat by 13 early in the season.
"You don't have comfort," Baylor coach Kim Mulkey said. "There's never comfort in this business. You go to the film room tonight and you get ready for the next game."
Even a quiet night from Griner couldn't stop the Lady Bears from advancing. The 6-foot-8 star was constantly hounded and double-teamed by Stanford, scoring only one basket in the second half Sunday night. So her supporting cast jumped in and carried the unbeaten Lady Bears (39-0) into the NCAA championship game.
"I have all the trust in the world in my teammates," said Griner, who only had three baskets. "I was never worried. I knew my team, my guards, would step up and knock down shots and Destiny would knock down shots and do everything."
Griner finished with 13 points and nine rebounds, setting up Baylor for a rematch with fellow No. 1 seed Notre Dame on Tuesday night.
"We're not the Brittney Griner show," Mulkey said. "Brittney Griner is the face of women's basketball, and she deserves to be, but this team is bigger than Brittney. She will tell you that. Brittney Griner double- and triple-teamed allows other players on her team to have opportunities."
Baylor might need another strong performance from its supporting cast against Notre Dame.
The Irish beat UConn 83-75 in an overtime thriller in the first semifinal. Baylor and Notre Dame played in the preseason WNIT final, with the Lady Bears winning in Waco 94-81 on Nov. 17.
"It's going to be a good game," Griner said. "We beat them earlier in the season, but we've got to erase that. This is the game everybody wants."
Stanford (35-2) fell short in the Final Four for the fifth straight season, ending its school-record 32-game winning streak.
The Cardinal refused to let Griner beat them, collapsing on her in the paint. The strategy worked for the first 20 minutes before the other Lady Bears started making shots.
Trailing 31-29 early in the second half, Baylor went on an 11-1 run keyed by Jordan Madden. The junior guard had an acrobatic three-point play and then a layup that made it 40-32. Griner followed with her only basket of the half, hitting a tough baseline turnaround that capped the burst.
The Cardinal could only get within six the rest of the game despite Nnemkadi Ogwumike's best efforts. The senior led the Cardinal with 22 points and nine rebounds. Stanford coach Tara VanDerveer took her out with about 30 seconds left and gave her a long embrace.
"No one feels good after a loss, especially if it's in the Final Four," Ogwumike said.

Sleep Studies Indicate That Sleep Loss Can Contribute to Weight Gain
Medical studies performed in the past few years are revealing that sleep loss can contribute to weight gain.
"It interferes with our circadian rhythms and with the way we regulate our hormones,"
There are two hormones that affect the appetite: Leptin and Ghrelin. Leptin communicates that "full feeling," and when working correctly, suppresses the appetite. Ghrelin communicates the need for more food to keep energy levels up.
When people do not get enough sleep, both hormones are thrown out of whack. Their Leptin goes down, making them feel less satisfied – even when they have had enough food; and their Ghrelin goes up, stimulating the appetite.
"Often, I hear people say they didn't sleep well, and they were eating just to stay awake. It may be these hormones playing a role,"
So, what can people do to avoid sleep-related weight gain? SleepBook.com offers users tips and advice for achieving a better night's sleep as well as a healthier lifestyle.
Visitors to the Sleep Book web site who complete an interactive survey receive a customized, downloadable, Sleep Book with key information and advice for improving one's personal sleep routine and environment.
Something as simple as a mattress replacement may be the answer.

Financial Audit:
Expenditures by Three Independent Counsels
AFMD-93-60: Published: Apr 21, 1993. Publicly Released: Apr 21, 1993.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a legislative requirement, GAO examined three independent counsels' statements of expenditures during 6-month periods ended on or before September 30, 1992.
GAO found that: (1) the three independent counsels have reported spending $5.7 million; (2) their statements of expenditures present fairly, in all material respects, the expenditures of their offices; (3) serious internal weaknesses have included inadequate procedures for properly charging expenditures and inadequate segregation of duties; (4) one counsel has hired a financial officer to track financial expenditures and maintain detailed accounting records for verification of financial information; (5) in response to GAO concerns, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts has improved its automated systems and internal procedures to ensure that it properly charges the counsels' expenditures; (6) two counsels have segregated financial duties and improved procedures for authorizing and reviewing expenditures; (7) although the counsels report that they have taken action to strengthen internal controls and ensure compliance, instances of noncompliance continue for travel expenditures not specifically authorized by independent counsel law; and (8) if Congress reauthorizes independent counsel law, it needs to delineate the administrative responsibilities of independent counsels, the Department of Justice, and any other government agencies involved and assign responsibility for developing comprehensive guidance for the independent counsels on applicable laws and regulations.
