I am a retired U.S. Marine who, due to my college degrees, conduct research dealing with our local history within southeastern North Carolina.
I have been the subject of many southeastern newspaper and magazine articles and received numerous awards for preserving the history of southeastern North Carolina.
Currently, and mostly at my own time, labor and expense, I am locating old "endangered" cemeteries, some dating to pre-1800. I clean the over-growth of foliage, document cemetery site for protection, and maintain each cemetery the best that I can with my budget. I also present my findings to the general public and educate individuals about information that I have collected.
Nearly fifty veterans (all African American) from the Spanish American war to Vietnam have been rediscovered and properly recognized for their sacrafices. Over seventy "former" slaves also have been identified. Veterans laid to rest within these and other yet to be found cemeteries need to be recognized for their sacrifices.

Mount Airy officials have decided that it's OK to share concerning the use of a new aerial fire truck in areas outside the city limits.
"This is about being a good neighbor," Mayor Deborah Cochran said Thursday night when the Mount Airy Board of Commissioners unanimously approved a dispatch agreement for the vehicle which was requested by Franklin Volunteer Fire Department officials.
It will allow for the city's ladder truck, a kind of vehicle the Franklin department lacks, to be deployed to areas in that department's territory in order to improve fire-suppression capabilities there.
While the agreement calls for the vehicle to be dispatched to "any predetermined location" in the Franklin district, it specifically refers to North Surry High School and Franklin Elementary School along with Gentry and Meadowview middle schools.
Mount Airy Fire Chief Zane Poindexter told the commissioners Thursday night that a fire at those locations would obviously create a potential for major loss of life.
That seemed to strike a chord with Commissioner Dean Brown, who recalled two such school tragedies in the 1950s.
"I'm old enough to remember the Flat Rock School fire and the Franklin School fire in the same year," Brown said. The incident at Flat Rock was especially costly, resulting in the death of a teacher and student and 25 pupils receiving severe burns.
Brown also cited a fire during the same era which destroyed Martin Memorial Hospital in Mount Airy, the predecessor to Northern Hospital.
He said if a similar event were to occur at one of the four schools now targeted, "we'd need that fire truck out there for sure."
Along with taller structures such as the hospital, Mount Airy's 100-foot platform truck would aid in other fires at larger, spread-out facilities such as schools due to its maneuverability.
Commissioner Steve Yokeley pointed out that both he and and fellow board member Shirley Brinkley reside in the Franklin School District and is sure their neighbors will appreciate the extra protection the new agreement offers.
It will allow for the Mount Airy Fire Department to respond with its aerial truck, when available, to the neighboring district.
There was some concern on the part of commissioners Thursday night about conflicts that could arise when fires occurred simultaneously in the city and Franklin district.
While every effort would be made to provide the vehicle when requested by Franklin, should the truck fail to respond when deemed appropriate by the city fire chief, Mount Airy will face no liability under the agreement.
Commissioner Jon Cawley also was concerned about the aerial truck being tied up on outside calls involving false alarms, but was told by Poindexter that this usually is not an issue with the neighboring fire personnel.
"A lot of times these folks will get on the scene, tell us it's a false alarm and tell us we're not needed."
Poindexter said the aerial truck agreement reflects a spirit of cooperation with the Franklin department, which helps with fires in the city from time to time.
Zoning Matters Approved
Also Thursday night, Mount Airy's commissioners voted in favor of a zoning amendment to allow more housing units to exist on designated acreage than are presently permitted; a rezoning change to accommodate an auto business expansion; and the closing of a portion of a road.
Each case involved a 5-0 decision and came after public hearings in which no one voiced opposition to the moves.
• In the matter involving housing density, the board's action increases the number of dwelling units allowed per acre from five to 12. This will affect residential group development in Mount Airy, such as a new 56-unit apartment complex to be constructed near Walmart.
The higher density allowance conforms to recommendations in the Vision Plan, a long-range land-use planning document adopted by Mount Airy officials in 2001 to guide future development in the municipality.
• The rezoning vote affects a one-acre site at 251 Old Ridge Road near Flat Rock owned by Lane D. Edwards and Tonya W. Edwards. It has been rezoned from a residential classification to B-2 (General Business).
The change was sought to allow the expansion of an existing garage there to include a paint shop as part of auto body repair work, Edwards told city officials Thursday night. He hopes it will lead to the creation of jobs, possibly five to six within about five years, according to the rezoning petition.
"I've had my neighbors all sign a petition in support of it," Edwards said of the request.
"It's obvious you live in a great neighborhood," Mayor Cochran responded. "All your neighbors are on the same page."
• The road-closing decision pertains to a portion of Stonebrook Drive, located off Parker Road in northern Mount Airy. Richard Johnson, one of the owners of property there who requested the closure, said the affected roadway originally was a cul-de-sac to provide access to four separate lots.
Due to a property revision, access will only be needed to two lots, said Johnson, who explained that he no longer will require access to his property off Stonebrook Drive but Wyncrest Terrace. The closure will deprive no one else of access, city documents show.
Johnson said after the meeting that the property is in a subdivision where plans call for houses to be built, depending on the economy.
TDA Appointments
In other business, the city board approved reappointments to the Mount Airy Tourism Development Authority, a group that works to market the city using proceeds from a tax on lodging establishments.
Trudy Willard and Ben Webb were approved for new three-year terms to expire in January 2016.
"They've done a wonderful job and we'd like to appoint them once again," the mayor said.
In addition, Commissioner Shirley Brinkley was reappointed to the TDA for a one-year term representing the city board and Finance Officer John Overton was reappointed for the same length as an ex-officio, or non-voting, member.

All About the Freebies
Are you sick of blowing money on stuff you need but you can't afford? Do you want some sweet free stuff, like free ipads, free baby stuff, free makeup samples, and even student free stuff? I know I did! I got sick of spending money or pining for goods when I found out I could spend a few hours a week online to get all the stuff I needed, for near or completely free. In this post, I'm going to show you what you can get for free, how you can get it for free, and how to avoid free stuff scams.
What You Can Get
You can get virtually ANYTHING for free, but you need to take some things with a dash of skepticism. If someone promises you a free car if you do a couple surveys, it's probably just a scam. If there's some kind of contest running for a car though, you should definitely enter it.
How You Can Get It
If you want sweet free stuff, you have a few options
Contests are the lifeblood of the internet, who doesn't want to win a free year of skittles from making a funny video? While online contests can be massive and your chances are small, just remember that it's something fun to do and don't take it too seriously.
There are many websites online that are devoted to helping users get sweet free stuff, as well as awesome deals and coupons. Before you sign up for these, you'll need to make sure that they're legit. As you probably already know, many scammers and spammers will promise prizes and free products if you just give them all of your information in surveys. It's always one more completed survey page away, but alas, you end up giving up half an hour. A lot of get paid to (GPT) websites are set up this way, especially when they want your credit card information.
Before you hand ANY of your personal information out, be sure that the site is real. You can do this pretty easy by Googling the website or company name and see if there are any negative reviews (more than a couple, some people just like to complain) and see what the general buzz about the site is. If you get a bad feeling, or the site just looks like it's fake, move on to the next one on your list.
Companies can be one of the best places to find sweet free stuff; companies regularly give away free products as a promotion and to bring in new customers and keep brand loyalty. Take advantage of this if you can find deals like these, they're few and far between!
Thousands of people every hour get in on free stuff, so why not you? Quit spending and start saving, using the same products you do now, just for free! When you're signing up for offers, make sure the site is legit and enjoy your sweet free stuff.

Rome Public Services Director Kirk Milam said a few too many surprises turned up by work crews forced a slight redesign of the riverfront plaza on the Oostanaula River near The Forum and Town Green.
"A major issue has been the amount of unsuitable materials we're excavating," he said. "There's a lot of debris; rubble buried over the years as things have been built and demolished."
The $2.7 million project includes a floating plaza and boat dock with tiered sidewalks connecting the downtown trail system from Unity Point to the Chief John Ross Memorial Bridge.
Plans called for poured concrete retaining walls to control erosion. Instead, a concrete cap will rest on fiberglass sheet piles that are being driven about 15 feet into the ground.
"The cost will be comparable, and it's cheaper than removing the debris," Milam said.
Progress has been slowed somewhat by the redesign, and by the challenge of managing the heavy equipment and long pilings in the relatively small work space. It will likely be late summer before construction starts on the dock.
Milam's report came during a meeting of Rome's public works committee. Updates also were presented on other downtown improvement projects.

When is Gordon expected to start?
Is it time to give Aminu another shot at starting SF?

At least this time around we'll have Gordon to put on Harden, but I'm betting it's still not enough.
Hopefully we shoot better from the FT line tonight.
AD has left two double doubles on the court the past two games.
We can't allow them to shoot 3's, their biggest weapon and AD have to challenge EVERY shot!
Wow. Posting is a lot harder than I remember...
Guess who is putting in time at WBOK 1230 AM Talk Radio... Don't guess, it's me. Tune in on Fridays at 12 noon for Sport-a-Talk with Roe Brown and you might just hear me!
Feel free to PM me for details.
No idea why that happens sometimes. Switching browsers usually works for me.

It wasn't cold.
"I wish it was colder, I was looking forward to seeing ice on the side of the banks," Tyler Holderfield said. "But I'm glad I'm able to wear sandals this year."
The warmer-than-normal weather provided the boost that CRBI Executive Director Joe Cook was hoping for this year to bring out a huge crowd onto the river, even though he joked the paddle was now the "Global Warming Polar Bear Paddle."
"It's not very good weather for a Polar Bear paddle, but good weather for being on the river," said Cook.
The large number of paddlers also provided Cook with an opportunity to remind people about the ecological diversity of the river.
"We're really excited about having this many people out on our rivers, discovering its charms even in the dead of winter," Cook said Saturday.
Paddlers will be able to get back out on the river with CRBI again on Feb. 23 during the Heart of the Community Walk, Bike and Paddle event. The paddling portion of the course will take participants from Ridge Ferry Park to Heritage Park.
CRBI will also be sponsoring two paddles during March. On March 16 CRBI will be host at 10-mile paddle on the Etowah and Shoal Creek in the Dawson Forest Wildlife Management Area near Dawsonville. The group will be back on the Etowah near Canton on March 23 for a Fish Weir paddle in Cherokee County.
For more information about upcoming paddles and how to participate on these trips visit www.coosa.org.

How about a date for a date?
There were a couple of words. Strangely enough, they were "howler" and "monkey". I'm not exactly sure what this means yet.
No word on it or the 1st expansion. Which I'm sure Brad and friends are playing right now while laughing at us!
My crystal balls say: "Some time this week." For the announcement, I assume.
They must all be head down and busy right now. I asked for a status as recently as yesterday, to no avail. Too bad it's not a vacation week. I was spoiled by the daily feedback we received over Christmas/New Years.
Anybody know what changes are planned for 1.2?
Hmm i asked my magic 8 ball if we would see an announcement this week and it said "Not likely" so.. whats the hierarchy of scrying devices anyway?
Man, it'd be cool if they had crystal balls in the game.
As a custom sov weakness...
Kael is going to give an announcement next Monday. How do I know this? I don't, just making shit up.
You sir, win a prize. Details will be announced later.
I think there's supposed to be a 1.12 soon, to fix some AI issues at least.
Nah, it's not that bad, as long as I'm careful when I sit down.
I vote that Stardock starts taking the "It will be ready when it's ready" approach. Stop giving us estimated release dates that create expectations that may or may not be met. Thank you.
Meh, the later the annoucement the more will be packed into 1.2! Hope it'll be another month or so!
With Stardock's beta patches, I don't mind if they take extra time to polish, as long as we get the in-between work.
I'm willing to test stuff out to get a more enjoyable game.
We need Stardock to hire someone more hated than Jon Shafer to sparkle the flames of distraction. While people flame away, they don't think of "When is next patch?".
Who would that be? Do people still hate that Jack Thompson guy? Maybe they could make him a PR person.
I'm not that active in the online gamer community as I use to be...just don't know who to hate any more. Back in my day, 2K were heroes and EA was the villain, but things change...
get bobby kotik in here now!!! sigh... couldnt resist
Considering they just announced the expansion today for Q2 2011. I would imagine most patch changes will be aimed at it.
My pig intestines indicate the first week of february. It would be cool if there were crystal balls and they would simulate "most likely" scenarios for future turns.
The demon I summoned told me that if I asked that question one more time I'd be cut off from my moral support group...
HELL would kick me out & cut up my Kiss Army membership card.
Yeah, it is 'next'.

Baskin's public affairs television show to feature Oakland charities
"Due Process," Detroit's longest running public affairs television show with one consistent host, returns to Detroit Public Television with its 28th season and new episodes this month.

Following Mitt Romney's loss to President Barack Obama, conservative leaders wasted no time Wednesday offering pointed criticism of the Republican Party and its pick for president.
A coalition of social conservatives and tea party activists gathered in Washington to decry what they described as Romney's failure to represent conservatives on a national level.
"We wanted someone who would fight for us. What we got was a weak, moderate candidate, hand-picked by the Beltway elites and country club establishment wing of the Republican Party," Jenny Beth Martin, co-founder of Tea Party Patriots, said in a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington.
"The presidential loss is unequivocally on them," she added.
Pushed from the right in the Republican presidential primary, Romney sought to paint himself as "severely conservative," though the former Massachusetts governor had taken Democratic positions on certain issues in his political past.
Brent Bozell, president of the conservative Media Research Center, argued that Romney failed to pass the ideological test, saying he ran as a "Democrat-light" and adjusted his positions to campaign as a moderate during the general election.
"At the end of the day, conservatives were left out in the cold. It should have been a landslide for Romney, had he embraced a truly conservative agenda," Bozell said. "But Romney's a moderate and his campaign embarked on a bizarre...defense from the outset."
He further faulted the GOP presidential nominee for not adopting a political strategy of defining his opponent and going on the attack early on. Citing the president's record, Bozell argued "it should have been a cakewalk for Romney to define (the president), but he didn't--hence Obama's victory."
On social issues, Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the anti-abortion rights group Susan B. Anthony List, blasted the candidate for not making abortion a central part of the 2012 dialogue.
"He took all the right stances," she said. "The problem was not communicating on the national stage with Obama what his actual positions were."

It depends very much on what content you're doing, yes. Blade brings a good deal of what you need to the table; Blade Flourish + Breakdown will give you most of what Escalation + Intensity does, for example. You forfeit two more impairs, however; you can get away with two if you don't glance, but glances can happen and in some NMs that will mean a wipe. (Offloading that job to DPS or healer will mean making them less effective.) It also means no Chaotic Pull; I am not entirely sure how you would do Ankh NM without it. I wonder if you can stand on the edge between Klein and one of the reapers to hold it. Persistent ground AOEs are also nice; it is typical to drop Crimson Theatre for Clearing the Path once you're out of the early NMs so that you can apply Debilitate (Clearing the Path + 12 Gouge + Shoot 'Em Up), and if you do that moving out of Chaos means no ground AOE. Useful for add fights and several other purposes. I also think you will have trouble holding aggro off well-geared DPS since some of those Chaos abilities you're foregoing have built-in increased threat. For me and a lot of others, hardmode MMO content like this is about the satisfaction of a job well done. You can probably get through NMs the way you're doing it. But I want to do it well and fast and smoothly. For me, once you're not doing story stuff anymore, MMO repetition is about personal improvement -- not in gear, necessarily, but in ability. Who's your pocket tank, anyway? Wonder if I've played with them.
Demonite, he was having issues and had a fit when he found that (before the patch) had to spec chaos to get it done. I can agree that once the game itself is over it takes something to keep going, some pride on perfection. I always go for how absurdly can I get this done. Doing things the wrong way and backwards has always been my method. Like my current focus build ,which shouldn't work but does. It did take quite a bit of ripping passives in and out before I got there and I can completely sympathize with anyone finding the entire thing annoying. I haven't gotten into nightmare , just get to hear the by chatter. Not very interested at this point. So I will let you talk from the endgame perspective (and learn a bit myself).
Been pretty busy the last couple of day, haven't had a chance to post much, but as an aid to the beginning player, I'd like to repost this link to tswguides.com. Their "Blue Mountain Specials" got me through the beginning game, as they are builds optimized for the early levels. One thing to keep in mind is that, like all MMO's there are many ways to play and have a good time. For instance, I see nobody here has even mentioned that now we have a stage, and stage gear to allow people to put on *plays* in the Secret World. Let me emphasize that I am not just talking about a raised platform to do what you want with, but an area where special stage props can be activated and used to act out a story. Crazy. But great. Inigima is definitely the person to listen to for end game, as, I must confess, have not ran a nightmare dungeon yet, or even finished the last area in Transylvania. It's just too much fun to stay in the lowbie areas running alts and helping out newbies in the dungeons and such. And my favorite alt is running an AR/Pistol build, which is absolutely crap as far as synergies go, but looks way cool. As Ryslin was speaking of, I find it fun to put her through the same dungeons and missions that I have already completed with my somewhat better optimized main (Sword/Fist and Fist/Blood) just to see how she can work it out.
And the End of Days has finally ended, and apparently since pretty much everyone who is prone to such things discovered the glaringly obvious exploit and used it nonstop to score thousands of K'in and thus invalidate the contest, everyone is a winner. We all get the Bird and title. Thanks (/sarcasm). It occurs to me that from my body of posts that it appears I didn't enjoy the End of Days. Actually, I did, but I have developed characters across all "levels." It was pretty frustrating to new characters, and I am glad it is over so I can now guide some of my friends into the game without that constant distraction. Correction: Bug not Bird. The Bug was the award, the Bird you have to buy with K'in
I am glad the event is over. I enjoyed parts of it -- the quests, the Road to Xibalba -- and I got a lot of AP out of farming Mayans in a raid (farming for real, with a tank and healer and weapons, not ward exploiting). But as a whole it was poorly designed. Nonstop Mayan spawning is annoying for established players and potentially lethal for new players, and the K'in prices for the robe and the bird were outlandish. The Harbingers were buggy as hell -- nothing quite like the entire area being blanketed in invisible Filth that instantly killed you. The "top 100 get the ak'ab pet" was always a stupid idea and would have resulted in acrimony even if there hadn't been an exploit. Giving everyone the pet and the title were the best possible resolution. No one gets punished for an exploit Funcom was very closed-mouth about their plans to address, and everyone gets a couple shinies. A friend gave me a bird. That was nice. I can't imagine I would have been able to bring myself to farm that much, farming as much as I did was very boring. I opened hundreds and hundreds of Mayan remains and I still don't think I ever got close to enough to afford the bird on my own. (I did give away 90 or 100 remains to a goon who needed K'in since I already had everything, and sold a few stacks on the auction house. If I had opened all of them I still don't think I would have had enough.) I laid down the law on the offsite goon forums for TSW yesterday. I am really tired of "helping" people through elites and consequently pretty much soloing the dungeons. I took three goons and a pubbie to elite Hell Raised yesterday. One of the goons said he could heal, so fine, I will tank. He showed up wearing about 70% tank gear. The pubbie did 800 DPS or so, most of the goons about 300. The pubbie switched to healing after noticing I was barely getting healed (I'm Nightmare-geared, so we got through anyway), which was nice but lowered our group DPS; Machine Tyrant took forever. Another of the competent goons took some new people to do beginner Nightmares. They pulled DPS in the 400 range. I don't care if you want to try new stuff or whatever, and I don't care if your DPS isn't top-tier, but so help me god I am not going to put up with your shit if you aren't even going to try. We make resources available to these idiots, we make ourselves available to answer questions or help with builds, we do everything we can to help them do well. So help me god I am done propping up 300 DPS morons. My time is too valuable.
All I know of the end of days event was that when I went to Kingsmouth for the first time on Friday I got ganked by some Mayan mummy or something, and I couldn't kill it, and it kept attacking me each time I respawned. So that wasn't much fun at all.
There was a Xibalban that spawned that was immediately hostile; if you couldn't kill that then I don't know what to tell you. It was approximately as dangerous as a fruit fly. It dropped a quest and if you picked up that quest it stopped spawning. After that, the game would continue to spawn Servants of One Death/Seven Deaths/Nine Nights, which were non-hostile unless attacked; if you kept killing them, it would spawn in increasingly strong ones until you started getting ones with 277,000+ HP. Again, all non-hostile unless attacked. Anyway, the event should be over now. No more Mayans.
There were a few reports on the forum about folks who didn't see the remains drop, or didn't pick up the quest because it wasn't overtly in your face. Some even lost the remains because they later paused the quest and did something else. This caused them to be stuck in perpetual loop with the aggro zombie, and if that aggro zombie was around OTHER zombies from the event , you got creamed. I did roll a newbie during the event and the first Xibalban is rough for a literal fresh out of agartha, in fact I died to it. I was -thinks- hammer and .. something. I only had the first two hammer skills. I couldn't kill it til I got to the sherrif and enough ap to have at least 4 skills. Note that I had the entire here are your newbie weapons and gear kit thing, so I wasn't in crap talismans. So I easily identify with those saying that first zombie kicked their behind. You know what annoys me about the exploitness line? There are no less than three different quests 2 of them in kingsmouth that teach you to pull mobs into wards. Why -wouldn't- we try that with these annoying grindtastic mobs? Not to mention that because the bags were sellable, you didn't even have to do the grind yourself. You could get your friends to farm for you, buy them whatever .. open and walla points for you. The points were awarded per bag opened. They best make sure the next event mobs are no where near wards , nor pullable to them. Our pets die at the wards for @#$%@ sake cus our pets are akin to familiars. Exploit my behind... next time don't teach me how to do it Funcom. (for the record the three quests are, pull the zombies into the church. Setup the wards in the graveyard, pull the familiars into innsmouth academy wards.. there are probably more that I am not remembering off hand)
There was another way a newbie could get himself in a bad state. A typical player is going to click on all the new stuff in his inventory to see what it will do, especially if there is not an informative tooltip. One of the items you could get from Remains was, I forget the exact name, Charred Runes? But anyway, if you clicked it, nothing particularly noticeable happened, except that now you were a zombie magnet. All zombies would aggro you instantly. Even some of the newbs that noticed the little icon over their status bar identifying the "buff" didn't know you could just right click it to make it go away. Why would they? Okay. Full disclosure. I did exactly the above, but I was playing a high enough level character that it was an irritation, not a show stopper. I just thought it was how the event was set up. But I got to wondering why *other* people weren't being constantly attacked... And yes, for Funcom to have quests set up that require the same mechanic that could be used to exploit another quest... Has the term "Epic Fail" been overused yet?
That's a good point, I forgot about the Charred Runes. I had asked someone on Mumble about them, learned not to bother using them, and promptly forgot they existed. Fun fact: Charred Runes were supposed to both make zombies immediately hostile and also significantly increase the spawn rate, in order to make it easier to farm them for remains. But instead they only did the first part, because Funcom. So there was only downside to using them, no upside at all.
-burns the dictionary- Look I try , but I am not perfect. Cope. I wrote that half asleep in a rant. That said, The charred runes were supposed to increase spawn? Then the whole darn thing was broke from the start. Not that dealing with the end dude would have been any easier, in a group we were routinely letting him despawn the first day so that we could farm faster. He wasn't worth the fight. Funcom, always something interestingly insane about whatever is going on.
Wow, I only logged on once and played for a night, and the event is over and I get a shiny? Woot! My friend and I are planning on playing one night a week, and that's pretty much all I've got time to spare for an MMO. I haven't really been able to do MMOs because I'm not willing to log on and play every night, or all weekend, so I make friends, don't log on, and the next time I'm on they're 5+ levels above me. Second night of playing is tonight! Back to Kingsmouth, and this time my friend and I know how to group, so hopefully we'll find each other.
Numbers are out, b2p was a success at least for now. Funcom is still combining and restructuring. Starting to feel like that rumor about EA might have teeth.
Which one's that? If it's about EA being poised to buy Funcom, well, my surprise is boundless. Truly.
http://www.gamespot.com/news/funcom-confirms-studio-closures-layoffs-6402231 Now we know why dev hands changed, cant keep Ragnar if there is no norway office.
I must still be missing something. I saw no mention of the Norway office closing. And isn't Funcom based there? Not to downplay this, but this *is* still just the restructuring that was mandated back when TSW tanked. It was no secret it was coming, and, frankly, might end up being a positive thing. Not if you are the one losing your job of course.
Yeah, this has been planned for some time. It isn't necessarily a good sign, but it isn't necessarily a bad sign either. For the company, that is, not for individuals.
Ok so I was wrong (Like this is a surprise) .. seems funcom consolidated to Oslo. I am not sure how I feel about that entirely. It seems a good deal of the TSW staff were in Montreal. Que sara.
I think they were only in Montreal because of the significant tax breaks offered by the Quebec government. The logistics of trying to coordinate a split dev team like that must have been truly awful -- this might be a blessing in disguise for them... Oh who am I kidding? Consolidation doesn't mean much when you have lost almost all your devs...
So I'm getting started in TSW and I'm not sure about how to follow the different quest lines. I've done all the ones marked "normal" from the contacts in the police station and the church... am I supposed to tackle a "hard" mission now or did I miss something?
I had the same issue- but it seems that Hard is just sort of harder- as long as your gear gets upgraded as you up your stats, hard is fine- it is those nasty read DEVASTATING ones that will kill you.
Also, while you're out doing quests, you should run into other quests that lead you to other quests, and so on. Things chain all over the place.
Unless something's marked "Devastating" or similar, or you're having trouble, pick up a quest and do it. When you finish you should be no more than 50 feet from another quest. Beta testers were told to report it as a bug if this was ever not true. Also, more info on upcoming Veteran additions to reward subbers/lifers: http://forums.thesecretworld.com/showthread.php?t=66105 Sounds pretty good to me.
Oh, no, I'm not having trouble finding quests in general. I just had this expectation that I should finish all of the "Normal" difficulty quests before moving on to the "Hard" difficulty quests. That's how I play WoW and LOTRO for the most part -- tackle the green stuff, then the yellow, then the orange if I've got any.
It still sounds like you might be missing something. As folks have said above, TSW eschews the hub system embraced by pretty much everybody else, and it can take a while to get used to. You're supposed to circulate around the map instead of doing everything at a particular location. Sometimes it can take a couple of orbits to clear all the normals, and then most of the hards should be shifted down by then. And I've been reading Joel's proposed subscription benefits too. Veeeery interesting....
My friend and I have been circulating around Kingsmouth and done a fair number of quests while ignoring the main story quest. We're at tier 2 of 18 on that one and it just says "Find other survivors and learn about the fog." So last night we decided maybe to make some progress on that one and had no idea what to do. We've talked to all sorts of people. We've been to the airport and the skate park. We've done everything in the junkyard. I suppose we can go back to the hippie campground and do some of those. When we make the story quest primary there isn't an arrow to show us where to go or anything. Also, since my inventory is getting full I tried to disassemble some stuff to no avail. I've got two Chaos shields that won't even go into the slot, and every set of pistols I have won't disassemble. And what's with my starter pistols? I can't sell them, disassemble them, or destroy them. Am I stuck with them for all eternity? And CSPariah, we've done anything that comes our way in terms of quests and had no real problem. We've done Very Hard and been fine. At first we were avoiding things that conned red, but now we know that as long as you don't get mobbed by a bunch of them, you can take down some pretty fierce beasties. Last night I got tired of avoiding the mud men near the airport and just said, "Fuck it, I'm shooting this guy." We took him down without a problem.
I completed that one totally accidentally... I think you might need to talk to all the people who are marked on the map, or possibly just the woman in the far southeast corner -- I ran up to her and that's how I completed it.
When Sheriff Bannerman is starting that quest by telling you to go around and check on survivors, she mentions three names. Unfortunately, those names aren't copied into the Mission Journal so if you just didn't catch them or are skipping the cut-scenes (gasp!!!) you're kind of screwed. All three are folks you'd normally interact with just by running around and following other quests, but it's totally possible to see them and have moved on *before* Bannerman gives you that mission. So, anyway, the names of the three she wants you to check are As a good point, sometimes the main story quest is done best by putting it on the back burner, so to speak. Normally, the other quests will eventually put you in the proper area to notice some little thing that clues you in to the next part. Otherwise you'll just be beating your head against a wall and going, 'How would I have known that??" Oh, can't you delete your beginner weapons? I'll go check, but I was pretty sure you could, maybe after a certain faction level or something. You can always just put them in your bank. And are you sure you are disassembling the other stuff correctly? You put things to break apart in the lowest box, the one you get the results from if you are building stuff. And even if you can't break them down, you can always sell them to Venders.
Cant disassemble any quality level 1/2 quest rewards. This was done to prevent folk from inadvertently screwing themselves. They may have gone a step further with the unable to delete. I know you cannot sell the initial weapons given and thus have to drag it out and manually delete. The rule of thumb is there should be some sort of quest wherever you END a previous quest. It might not be immediately obvious that it is there, and by the time you get into the desert the whole concept of hub gets very thin. I find that as you get there you are led along more by small kill all of X quests that are found on whatever might be laying around. Or you get a deliver this to X... to take you to someone. My original routine for Kingsmouth is to literally circle it. I pick up something from the sherriff, I head in that direction say I got the get supplies that takes me down to the shore .. I can grab a box to be delivered, and a severed hand wile I am down there.. wander over to the diner, then I am heading back up tword the church. Three out of four times the mail from that post vehicle down there will send you to where you need to be.. for instance if you are significantly along in the local quest it will send you to where you haven't been.. maybe out to the junkyard or to the OTHER side of the bay. The whole game sorta works on that principle. Find something ..follow it, something along your route or at the end will take you somewhere else. You may feel that you aren't progressing the story but you are , well as long as you went into the sherriff's office and got the next stage (find people.. dawning of an endless night p2)
Should be able to at least delete them by dragging them out of your inventory. If you can't, petition a GM with /petition and they'll sort you out. Watch out for Nightmare and especially Lair mobs. They'll have buffs on them, you can see in advance; the Kingsmouth Lair is just north of the airport. You can handle most things that are a bit above you, but I promise you you cannot handle Lair mobs.
And they added this intense warning when you enter a lair, your screen goes funky, loud noise and it feels -very- dangerous all of a sudden
I won't copy the whole Game Director Letter here, since most of it is stuff we already know, but I have to say I was somewhat surprised to hear the creative team was being relocated to Raleigh, North Carolina. Nothing wrong with Raleigh, really (some disclosure here, I'm a southerner but not from North Carolina -- got family there though), but I hope these guys are ready for some culture shock. And I hope they like BBQ.

Phil held the top management position in NCCI's $26 million Y2K program office — leveraging offshore programming resources to remediate its applications and onsite staff to execute Y2K testing, effectively creating a round-the-clock remediation process.
Phil joined Giga Information Group in 1997 as an industry analyst, covering the Y2K phenomenon, and he was promoted to the position of managing director of research for its e-practices group. Since Forrester bought Giga in 2003, Phil has been bringing his broad technical and managerial experience to bear on application and IT management topics that concern Forrester's diverse client base.

The U.S. Postal Service Wednesday announced it will stop delivering first-class mail on Saturdays, expecting to save about $2 billion a year. Given the rapid rate of decline in letter mail and the loss of revenues, this is a welcome cost-cutting move.
But this change will not make the Postal Service sustainable for the long term.
Cost cutting would not have made the horse and buggy business sustainable in the dawning age of the automobile. The same is true of typewriters during the advent of word processors, or slide rules when calculators arrived. There is a natural limit to how far costs can be cut, and to how much that can help the Service survive in the new communications marketplace.
The Postal Service's business model needs fundamental change for it to thrive and avoid liquidation. Those reforms must focus not only on reducing costs, but also on allowing the Service to generate new sources of revenue from its existing assets. The experience in other countries suggests that this is possible. Following that lead, the first steps should include corporatization and de-monopolization.
First-class letter mail -- by far the Postal Service's most profitable type -- has fallen by a stunning one-third since its 2001 peak, while overall mail volume is down by almost 25%. Revenues have also dropped which, when combined with high costs, have created the Postal Service's own fiscal cliff.
The service lost almost $16 billion in 2012 and is now losing about $25 million per day. It has hit the limit of its $15 billion credit line with the U.S. Treasury, and has only enough cash for a few weeks of operations.
Given the explosion in cheap, instantaneous, electronic communications, none of this is surprising. Mail delivery is now like offering transportation by horse in the dawning automobile era.
Unlike horse transportation, however, it's possible for mail delivery services to remain viable, innovative, self-sustaining businesses even in the electronic age, as posts around the world have shown.
For the Postal Service to survive and thrive, however, Congress needs to step up, and soon. Congress must determine what level of physical mail service, if any, is necessary for government to ensure when there are many electronic alternatives. Second, it must decide how it (as opposed to the Postal Service) plans to pay for that service level.
Dimensions of such guaranteed service include the geographic area to be covered, what rate will be charged (and whether it will be uniform across areas), and how frequent mail service will be.

Compton falls as England build
10:37pm Saturday 9th March 2013 in National Sport News © Press Association 2013
England lost centurion Nick Compton but were still on course to save the first Test against New Zealand as they moved towards parity at the University Oval.
Compton (117) augmented his maiden hundred by 15 runs on a sunny final morning before he was lbw to Neil Wagner in the tourists' 275 for two.
Nightwatchman Steven Finn made the early running and is on course to improve his career-best twice in the same match, after his first-innings 20.
Compton had to wait until the fifth over before he could add to his overnight 102, but did so in style with a trademark extra-cover drive for four off Tim Southee.
He was to be the only casualty before mid-session drinks, though, falling over slightly in front-foot defence as left-armer Wagner found just a hint of inswing.
Compton's 310-ball vigil was therefore over after almost seven hours at the crease, mostly in company with his captain Alastair Cook in an opening stand of 231 yesterday. Thanks almost entirely to them, England's prospects of closing out a stalemate on a pitch showing no signs of deterioration were becoming ever more obvious.
That, of course, would be a highly favourable outcome after their first-innings collapse to 167 all out.

Max Chilton insists that he is ready to compete in Formula One, despite his tag of a pay driver.
The Briton has been promoted to a race-seat by Marussia after serving as the team's reserve driver for the last six races of 2013.
"I wouldn't have wanted to make the step up if I wasn't ready," Chilton told Sky Sports News.
"I believe after my last year in GP2 with two wins and two pole positions I am ready and when I got behind the wheel in Abu Dhabi for practice I felt comfortable and that is the main thing - I know I can do it.
"After three long, hard seasons in F1 the team are yet to score a point and if I can score their first points then that will be an incredible feeling. Hopefully if testing goes well we can get that done early on in the season and then I can change my targets as we go."
The 21-year-old believes that fitness will be key to being successful at the highest level and as such as spent much of the off-season focusing on this.
"You are at the top of the sport - so everything has to be perfect," he explained.
"You have to focus on every little bit of fitness as F1 is very physical so you have to build up the neck muscles more because of g-force and the races are about 40 minutes longer than what I am used to, so I have to build up the endurance levels."

DETROIT LIONS NOTES: Ndamukong plays best game, Alphonso Smith cut
ALLEN PARK — Ndamukong Suh is one of those pro athletes who fans love if he's on their team and hate him if he isn't.
The Detroit Lions defensive tackle is still working on winning over all of the Lions fans, especially the ones who scan the stat sheets.
On Sunday, Suh had one tackle in the 34-24 loss at Minnesota. The previous week he wasn't on the score sheet, didn't have a tackle or a hit.
Despite lack of gaudy numbers, Lions coach Jim Schwartz complimented Suh's play on Sunday.
"I thought Ndamukong Suh might have played the best game since he's been here. Was dominating at times,'' Schwartz said. "Unless they doubled him in pass protection, he was in the quarterback's lap the whole game.
"Like I said, we had a few mistakes that overshadowed some pretty good performances. But I thought our guys inside did very well with only a few exceptions. You know Ndamukong did a really good job verses some trap blocks that had haunted us earlier in the season. First time we played these guys and he shut that part of the run game out. On our perimeter, we weren't as strong."
Suh had 66 tackles and 10 sacks in his rookie season. So far after nine games he has 14 tackles and 3.5 sacks.
Nick Fairley started in place of Corey Williams (knee) and also was noted by Schwartz.
"Nick had two rushes that sort of got out of his assigned game and we paid for both of them. One was a quarterback scramble, the other was a step-up,'' Schwartz said. "That being said, Nick had one of the best games he's played since he's been here. But a lot like the rest of our team, a couple of mistakes overshadowed the good things that he did. I thought he played very well in the run game. Used his hands very well, made tackles for losses. Sacked the quarterback, was around the passer, and was very, very active.''
Fairley finished with a sack, three tackles for loss, two quarterback hits and four tackles. Continued...
Sammie Hill, who rotated in at defensive tackle, had four tackles.
Avril's pressure play
Cliff Avril's force of a loss of 15 yards on a pass completion Sunday was the largest loss on a completed pass play in the NFL since the San Diego Chargers forced a 20-yard loss against the Cincinnati Bengals Dec. 20, 2009.
Avril batted a pass from Christian Ponder back to Ponder's hands and then tackled him for a loss.
Avril could not finish the game due to a concussion. It sounds like it's not too severe.
"Cliff has been fighting a leg/back/whatever you want to call it thing for a while. He's missed some practice with that,'' Schwartz said. "The concussion kept him out, but he was much improved after the game, probably more so than a lot of the other concussions that we've had so he'll have to go through a protocol to return, but he presented different at the end of the game than some other guys have.''
Alphonso Smith released
Cornerback Alphonso Smith, who was signed on Oct. 18 for depth due to injuries, was cut on Monday. Smith played on special teams on Sunday, but took no snaps on defense.
According to reports, the Lions were awarded cornerback Patrick Lee off waivers from the Raiders.
It's expected they will make another move to make room on the roster for cornerback Drayton Florence who is eligible to come off the short-term physically unable to perform list and has been cleared to play. Continued...
"We've missed (Florence) on the field. He's a good veteran presence particularly with the injuries that we have in the secondary,'' Schwartz said. "It would be good to get him returned."
Florence broke his arm in the second game and has practiced the last two weeks.

The objective of this stock thread is to provide a single space for CAN SLIM investors (new and experienced) to discuss and learn about various William O'Neil teaching. I hope to help provide some further detail about his teachings through examples of both Fundamental and Technical analysis. I've encouraged other investors on this forum to also participate, so hopefully it won't be just I posting every day or week.
I believe the mantra for this thread can be summed up in the following saying: "If you give a man to fish he'll eat for a day, but if you teach him to fish he'll eat for a lifetime". Basically, the objective isn't to have folks throw out various stock symbols and the experienced investors give their opinion on the stock based on a 5 minute fundamental and technical checkup. It hopefully will be a place where CAN SLIM investors can ask questions or post information that is relative and informative for everyone on this board.
I've already outlined how I build a CAN SLIM watch list in another thread on this forum. For those that are interested you can find it by typing "How 52 wk Etable Scan = Watch List" into the Search box at the type right of the forum page. What I hope to provide, at the minimum, is weekly updates of my observations on the market and what stocks from that Watch List are nearing potential buy points. Someone suggested that this could be like a Forum Watch List, which could help drive a lot of the discussion. I think that's a great idea and I imagine a lot of the context surrounding this list will revolve around stocks that are either nearing potential buy points and even new stocks that have been recently added to the list. Other Subjects Could Include:
Fundamentals Subjects:
1.) Spotting a potential winner based on Fundamentals. Really a continuation of the 52 week scan, but pointing out the important issues to look for such as rev/eps growth, ROE, Debt %, Cash Flow Per Share, Fund Ownership. Where to find them and what numbers are acceptable/good and what is bad.
2.) Why Analyst Estimates need to be adjusted when projecting future price targets.
3.) How to Build an Earnings Model To Project Future Growth
Technical Subjects:
1.) Different base patterns, healthy and unhealthy, based on current stocks on the Forum Watch List
2.) Past Mistakes - I have a bunch of old charts I could show where I made bad decisions. Maybe this would be a great area to have others post their charts to show their mistakes, so we could all learn from them.
3.) How To Review Past Decisions – I'm thinking this could be a "How To" topic on how I create the charts within the forum with notes and other diagrams.
For those that need a refresher on CAN SLIM, here is what it stands for:
C – Current Quarterly per Share: The Higher Growth, The Better
A – Annual Earnings Increases: It's not just about 1 or 2 qtrs., but sustained growth
N – New Products, New Management, New Highs: Don't forget the New Highs part
S – Supply and Demand: This is where technical analysis (chart reading) comes into play
L – Leader or Laggard: Buy what's leading the market and best in breed in an industry
I – Institutional Sponsorship: Big funds (mutual/hedge, pensions, banks) drive the market, so buy what they buy (or at least buy what the good funds buy)
M – Market Direction: Often the most overlooked, but probably the most critical to success
That's the introduction for what I and others (thanks Frank(fallen)) have envisioned for this thread. If others have suggestions about topics they'd like to learn about then please throw them out and hopefully I or someone else will be able to help.
My first post will immediately follow this introduction.
The most important part of CAN SLIM is not stock picking, but understanding the direction of the market. I believe that is important at this point in the market rally. I'll provide more detail as to why below.
M – Market Direction
Here is the very beginning of Chapter 7 (pg 48 & 56) from "How To Make Money In Stocks":
You can be right on every one of the factors in the first six (letters of CAN SLIM), but if you're wrong about the direction of the general market, three out of four of your stocks will plummet with the market averages and you will certainly lose money big time.
The best way to determine the direction of the market is to follow, interpret, and understand what the general market averages are doing every day. It might sound overwhelming at first, but with patience and practice, you'll soon be analyzing the market like a pro. This is the most important lesson you can learn.
To detect a market top, keep a close eye on the daily S&P 500, Dow 30 and Nasdaq Composite as they work their way higher. On one of the days in the uptrend, volume for the market as a whole will increase from the day before, but the average itself will show stalling action (significantly less price increase for the day compared to the prior day's price increase). I call this "heavy volume without further price progress up." The average doesn't have to close down for the day, but in most instances it will, making it much easier to see the distribution (selling) as professional investors liquidate stock.
Normal liquidation near a market peak will usually occur on three to five days over one, two, or three weeks. In other words, the market comes under distribution while it is advancing! This is one reason so few people know how to recognize distribution. After four or five days of definite distribution, the general markets will almost always turn down.
Four days of distribution, if correctly spotted over a two or three week period, are often enough to turn a previously advanced market into a decline.
Below is the current chart of the Nasdaq. Although, the distribution has been subtle it certainly is worrisome to see 4 days of distribution since the follow through day 3 weeks ago. Also worrisome is the historical precedent of bear markets beginning with double tops or where the market corrects for 5%-8% from a peak then reverses and moves up to the previous highs before finally capitulating and diving lower.
I hate for the first post on this thread to be non positive on the market, but right now caution is important. If more definitive distribution days start showing up over the coming week then raising cash levels will be prudent.
----------------On 4/17/2007 5:01:51 PM donkeypox wrote: First off, I think that this is a wonderful idea williamsj55. This should be extremely helpful to everybody, particularly newer investors. I have made several "IBD educational" posts on other threads but they seem to get buried and lost after one or two replies. Hopefully this provides more of a textbook approach that can be read from start to finish at any point in time. I am amazed at how many discouraged investors I have encountered in this forum over the last few weeks. With regard to your second post on the health of the Nasdaq chart, I do have a question. Distribution days #1 and #3 are clear to me and are noted as such in IBD's Big Picture. However, IBD does not seem to recognize days #2 and #4 as distribution days if I am correct. Day #2 because the volume was incredibly light and the session followed a holiday shortened session. Day #4, today, because the Nasdaq was only +/- 2 points. Is this incorrect? Looking at the number of new highs and the number of stocks making new highs on volume 50%+ greater than average, the market looks healthy to me at this point {although, as noted before, I'm not sure that the economy looks healthy}. One thing that did concern me today was that some leading stocks in leading groups suffered big losses in heavy(-ish) volume. Of course, some were due for a pullback.Regards.----------------

If a stock like GE goes up $2.00 the DJIA will rise something like 50 points. That is not an accurate gauge of the market.One thing CANSLIM does not cover which WON addresses in his book (How to Make Money in Stocks) in chapter 10 is when to sell. In this current environment, what do you do if you have a profit? It seems difficult to leave money on the table right now! ----------------
Perhaps one of two courses of action would be appropriate, depending on one's tolerance for risk: 1) take it off the table (with the possiblity of missing a move), or 2) put a tight trailing stop on your profitable trades to minimize your profit loss, yet allow it/them to run up add'l profit.......
