"Influence, which is built up alongside standard experience in the PQ can be used to buy goodies from an NPC. As mentioned above, there are three tiers for a PQ. Each tier grants XP and Influence. While there are a number of PQs in any given zone, they are repeatable if you are in need of Influence to buy a certain piece of armor or potion. The influence items are decent loot and it is a good way to gear up your character for the rest of your journey."
Just thought i'd high light some mis print. You don't "buy" influence gear from a vendor. You earn it and lose no money or points for garnering it. The only reward you have to earn and pay a nominal fee for are Renown gear rewards (which are sometime infinately better depending on the way you like to play your toon).
Normally I don't nitpick a correspondant but there's a huge difference between the words 'buy' and 'earn'. It could be considered misleading by those that are not in the game.
I agree that PQs are a nice innovation but you don't seem to have reached the point where you realise that...
1- Their all the same except for the creatures to kill (huge grind first stage)
2- Most people won't be able to do 90% of them because their too hard, not enough population, no population balance across the game
3- The rewards are always the same so if you want to grind for a purple bag you'll get 10x the same green bag beforehand

Well written sir. I have a few issues with the PQ system, but from one correspondent to another, you wrote a very thoughtful, fact-filled story, that even not agreeing with all of it, I enjoyed reading and appreciate.

...Now with that being said, I must say that I somewhat agree with Myrdek. I think the PQ's are awesome, and it's one of my favorite things to do in Warhammer, as, for some reason I don't enjoy the personal quests all that much, and I haven't gotten high enough to really get into RvR. My other favorite is the scenarios, love that experience gaining PvP (I mean, what's there not to love about that?).
However, I do have a problem with the looting system. It is like the Need system with one glitch...everyone in the area needs. So instead of maybe having to compete with 7 hunters in your raid, you have to compete with all 30 orcs surrounding you. I have done the same PQ (trying to build up my influence to get my gear), over and over again and not won once. That can be disheartening. Thankfully, you get the infulence no matter what (and the experience), so it's not a complete waste if you don't get any loot from the quest.
Another problem I have however, is an aesthetical one (if they haven't already fixed this). I am playing Order now, but during Preview Weekend and Open Beta, I was an orc (man I love those orcs...I wish they could be Order). And it really bothered me that when the final boss showed up, that he/she was the same size as any normal mob. So in my zone where there were only goblins, shaman and herders, and all the rest, Black Orcs, running around, there were no less than 15 Black Orcs all piled up on this mob. Man I had no idea what I was hitting, I was just pressing my buttons to hit something. Simply making the boss bigger, as if it were in a raid would fix this minor, but very annoying, issue. I want to feel immersed in the game. I don't want to just be swinging for the sake of doing so.
Other than those few things, I think PQ's are great, and I hope that a lot of other games do adopt this idea.

PQ's are a good idea, but it's definitely "1.0" in implementation. There are massive inherent design flaws, mainly dealing with the fact that you are counting on other players to participate and if we've learned anything about MMOs this far is that you can't predict what players are going to want to do nor force them to do.
On many servers, even the high-pop ones., the PQ areas are dead in many cases. Therefore you can't complete them past the first stage. Sure, you can grind all the influence you want based on just the first stage... but is that really the intention of Mythic in the design of these things? No way.
So IMO at the moment, PQs are failing but that train of thought is a good one and I hope the find ways to improve it.

Hi! My name is paper. Nerf scissors, rock is fine.
Well, it's really the same thing as spending influence. As far as I understand it, influence points are just another form of currency used to get the gear, but not used for anything else. It's just a mini-reputation system like in WoW but with less depth and fewer (much fewer) choices in rewards.

That's a good summary of the Public Quests (PQ). I keep giving my testimony, but I guess I feel it's needed, since there are so many trolls on these forums. I didn't care about the Warhammer IP and I didn't expect to like WAR, since I figured it'd be too influenced by WoW and not enough by DAoC, which was my first MMORPG. I was burnt out on MMORPGs and their community.
I've only been playing for over a week now, so to be fair, I could just have my rose colored glasses still on, but I think after 7 years of playing MMORPGs and playing upwards towards 20, I'd know if I like a game or not. WAR is absolutely fun, I have a hard time logging out when I should, and since we're on the subject of PQ's, they best the hell out of the Instances in WoW in both story and fun. Loot isn't a priority in this game, so you won't see a lot of it during PQ's like you would in a WoW instance, but you get plenty of story and killing, which is fun in the way Mythic packaged it.
The PvE in WAR is above par and is much more fun than WoW's PvE. Best thing about this is the PvP is really fun too.

Not being able to count on other players has NEVER been an issue for me either. I think the issue is that people are so used to doing things on their own that nothing "holds" them there. I've found that as soon as I start inviting people to a group/warband, people hang around even though they've gotten the rep they need so that they can help others out. The community is there, I just think that the people who are a part of it don't reach out enough.
As for the article itself, I have to disagree on two points. One is that the PQ bosses drop good loot. I think maybe once I've seen them drop a green, but otherwise it's just the same trash that any other mob drops. What I have noticed though is that if you use Scavaging on their bodies, more often than not I get a blue or purple from them.
Also, I'm not exactly sure why, but the later chapters that I've played (4-7) have not once dropped bags that have any items over a green. In chapter 3 I managed a great roll and was top of the chart, and got a bag with some purple boots in it. But since then the PQs haven't dropped more than the green bags for players.

I completely enjoy the PQ's (it will be interesting to see how GW2 incorporates this concept for a comparison), and the RvR. There is plenty to do and see in this game. I'm curious as to the replayability of it though epsecially since you turn into chickens if you go down a tier of two. Not to mention you can't go down to help your friends that may just be starting. Oh well...until then I'll just enjoy what is there ;-)

PQ's are one of those things that make me scratch my head and ask, why didn't anyone else think of this? I've played quite a few mmo's over the years and I can't recall having seen this feature before.
So far I think it's an awesome feature. I love it. I've gotten some good rewards from PQ's, both as drops and later when turning in rep to get the rally master rewards.
Another innovative feature, is the ability to click a tab by your avatar and a list then drops down of all groups in your region. You can then self add yourself to a group. That is so nice. In other mmo's I hated to group because it took so long to get in a group, and I experienced many of the same problems grouping as the original poster.
And as far as T1 and T2, I think there are quite a few pve quests. More than enough to keep me busy. I find myself running scenarios a bit, then doing some pve quests which usually leads me across some PQ. Then I do the pq for awhile, and then when I get tired of that, I do some rvr or just explore. In short, I am loving this game.
It doesn't have the socially complex aspect of precu SWG, but in other areas WAR is so much fun. Really, I have not had this much fun since precu SWG, and even then the fun was more spaced out.

The items rewarded for increasing your chapter influence allows people who don't want to earn PvP gear to achieve a comparable level of equipment. In some cases the gear from influence is better.

I am honestly in love with the PQs. What a great way to wander into a small adventure without having to worry about finding a group. Find a PQ, simply join in the fray. Love the concept very much and hope it is expanded upon in the future.

PQs are a nice alternative to doing solo/group quests. They are not designed to be a required completion in order to move on, and it is possible to complete the Influence bar even if you have to 'grind' the various Stage 1 areas. The loot can be nice, but it is often quickly replaced by the time you get to the next Chapter (just via normal quests or loot drops). Even the elite loot bags don't mean much throughout the main body of the game. Maybe by the end game they are more sustaining, but certainly not in the lower tiers.
The PQs can certainly be improved, but by no means are they failing in their current state.
My biggest concerns for PQs:
2. Ensure that Stage 2 and above for all PQs has some form of timer that ensures a reset for Stage 1. PQs need to be reset so that the constantly provide a way for people to work on Influence - and when there are insufficient numbers of contributors in the area, sometimes gaining Influence is only possible within Stage 1 due to the difficulty of Stage 2+. I have seen some PQs that get stuck on Stage 2 because they do not have a timer, and there are not enough folks in the area to effectively trigger the next stage (which then does have a timer).
3. Find an alternate way to complete the entire PQ if insufficient numbers of players are availble. As others have mentioned, playing at certain times of the day (especially as the servers mature) has already become difficult in terms of PQ populations. As the server matures, eventually most if not all of the lower level zones (and their PQs) will become ghost towns. Even now you can see it in some areas and we're not even into the first month. What will the lower Tier Chapter PQs look like in a few months when the first big wave of new players are moved on to the end game?

I'm starting to believe you are either synical, which means you aren't even worth responding to, or you havne't played WAR, in which case, why are you posting here. The quests in WoW require you to do mundane things, that an adventurer wouldn't care about, and those things have no bearing on the world or story. In WAR, the quests have a purpose. The purpose is to fight off the opposing side, and every quest contributes to the story and war effort. In addition, you aren't asked to go collect x number of things from y whatever, which has a poor drop rate. When you are asked to kill and collect something, there is a 100% drop rate. If you are going to sit there and tell me that quests with a low drop rate are better than those with 100% drop rate are better, then our discussion ends here. If you are going to sit there and tell me that doing quests that have no bearing on the story or the game, such as killing all different kinds of animals for parts, with a bad drop rate, for a stew for some farmer is better than doing quests that all pertain to the story and the war and actually have a benefit for your side is better, then our discussion ends here.
Granted there are some story chain quests in WoW, but most aren't, and most of those quests people wouldn't do if they didn't offer great xp. Ask around in WAR why people do quests, when the rewards aren't as good as what you get from RvR and when you can get xp in RvR, and see what they respond with. It was asked on my server, in the area I was in and people responded with that it was fun and serves a purpose.
Every creature you encounter has a semi in-depth description in your tomb of knowledge and there are some Hero creatures that you encounter by accident that actually have a story. Every public quest is an expansion of the story going on around you. You can't sit there and honestly tell me WoW's PvE is more fun than WAR's when WAR offers all of this. PvE in WoW serves no purpose than to level and gear yourself up. PvE in WAR supports the war effort and every quest and every PQ is an extension of the main story.

I play Order on Sea of Malice. I find that PQs (like noob zones in general) are already ghost towns, which rattles me a little, since these weeks should be the PEAK server population. I think at this point, the only way to get over on the last two stages is to spam some announcement in region-wide chat so that all 8-10 people who might be around can show up at the same place instead of stand around in 1's and 2's at individual PQ's.
At least with the Stage system, you can still grind solo to get the points for reward gear in Stage I if you have to (and unless my guild organizes something, I HAVE to). The reward gear have proven to be the staples of my armament.
Also, I think Mythic's weighted random roll for loot is the least-worst option. If I show up at a PQ and see that I'm about the lowest level there, with the current system, I at least know I have a CHANCE to get the best prize. The alternative, where goody bags would already be alotted to the highest levels? Feh. Why bother if I don't need the points?

A highly controversial bill passed this week by the Texas A&M Student Senate that threatened to defund the university's Gay and Lesbian resource center has been vetoed by the student body president.
Student senators voted Wednesday night to approve the "Religious Funding Exemption Bill," which was written to recommend that students have the ability to opt out of student fees which are against a student's particular religious or moral views. It had previously called "The GLBT Funding Opt-Out Bill," and took heat from critics who say it unfairly targeted gay & lesbian students.
A university spokesman says the GLBT Resource Center receives about $100,000 a year, provided by student fees, to provide counseling services and health programs.
Proponents of the bill said it's a question of religious freedom. Opponents, including Student Body President John Claybrook called the bill "damaging."
Debate on the bill has been called nasty. It prompted Texas A&M's President R. Bowen Loftin to email a statement to the student body which in part, read: "This discourse has, in some cases, lacked civility and discounted each individual's right to free expression of their ideas and beliefs.We must commit ourselves to the highest standards of communication to have our beliefs and ideas challenged in respectful and constructive ways."

St. Patrick's Day Toledo-area activity guideWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Blarney to host two-day St. Patrick's tent event
The Blarney Irish Pub is the spot to be for the most happening St. Patrick's Day party in town, pub employees say.
"We have the best food, the best music and the best location. We have the biggest party. We have the most fun," said bartender Beth Golday.
The two-day Blarney Madness party expands on the restaurant's usual pub space and adjacent BullPen to include a large tent on Huron Street.
The fun starts at 6 p.m. March 16 and runs until 2 a.m. March 18. The pop-rock band The Bridges headlines at 8 p.m. March 16. Dragon Wagon plays at 1 p.m. March 17, followed by Bangers & Thrash at 6 p.m. and Skoobie Snaks at 8:30 p.m. DJ Kyle Rickner will play between sets both days.
The weekend includes other highlights like an ice luge for shots, bagpipers at 7 a.m. March 17 and firefighters in kilts.
The party benefits Toledo and Sylvania local firefighters charities. The Blarney frequently works with firefighters, Golday said.
"They're always helping others and risking their lives for other people," she said.
A portion of the proceeds also benefits the Ancient Order of Hibernians, an Irish-American Catholic organization.
A $15 shirt will be on sale at The Blarney. By wearing the shirt, customers can get free entry March 17 and 10 percent off their bills during March.
A Jiggs Dinner with corned beef, potatoes, carrots and celery will be on sale for $9 in the BullPen in addition to a corned beef sandwich and chips for $7, bangers and chips for $6 and a half pound of Blarney Stones (chicken chunks) for $6.
A breakfast of eggs, Irish bacon, potato pancakes and soda bread is available in the pub starting at 7 a.m. March 17 for $7. And, of course, several Irish beers will be available, including Guinness, Killian's and Great Lakes Conway's Irish Ale.
Entry is $5. The Blarney is open from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. March 16 and from 7 a.m. to 2 a.m. March 17. The tent is open from 6 p.m. to 1 a.m. March 16 and noon to 1 a.m. March 17.
The Blarney is located at 601 Monroe St., Downtown Toledo. Toledo Free Press is a media sponsor of this event. Visit theblarneyirishpub.com for more information.

Claddagh's Got Talent contest kicks off March 15
Claddagh Irish Pub will kick off a 10-week Claddagh's Got Talent singing contest at 9 p.m. March 15.
Each week for nine weeks, 10 local singers or bands will perform at the Irish eatery at Westfield Franklin Park, 5001 Monroe St., before three judges. On the 10th week — May 31 — the nine winners will compete in a final round to determine the winner of the $5,000 grand prize.
Judges will include Claddagh general manager JaNeil Mesteller and Chris Hunt, who regularly MCs Claddagh pub trivia contests and other events. The third judge will rotate weekly among local celebrities.
"Audience involvement is part of the judging, so the more people you bring with you to root you on, the better your chances to get through," Mesteller said.
Entry is free and first come, first serve. Entrants can be solo singers or bands of up to three people. Participants must be 21 or older and must provide a photo ID, fill out an entry form and sign a copy of the rules to be eligible. Performances must be in good taste, and music must be submitted for approval before competing. The first week is full, Mesteller said.
"We want this to be a fun, true festival, where people are enjoying themselves," Mesteller said. "We've never done anything like this with such a big purse at the end. It's a pretty significant amount and it could really help out a person with recording or equipment. Toledo in general has so much talent it's ridiculous. For such a small town, we really have a great market to pull from. It's nice to have local people get a piece of the pie."
For more information or to sign up to participate, call Claddagh at (419) 472-1414.

Irish eyes turn to local festivities
Dressed in our greenest finery, Toledo Free Press Star fashion columnist Lauren O'Neill, Face of FOX Toledo Jocelyn Cruz and I hit the town for a pre-St. Patrick's Day pub crawl to find out what Toledo has to offer for the upcoming holiday.
Along the way, we met with fellow Toledoans as well as some visiting out-of-towners, including a Marine on leave from Camp Lejeune and a Cleveland-area bowling team in town for a tournament, all enjoying food, drinks and live music at local bars. We also hung out with members of The Steve Mullan Band, Kentucky Chrome and Toast & Jam.
With a name like O'Neill, you know Lauren is Irish, but you might be surprised to learn Cruz, of Puerto Rican heritage, is 10 percent Irish. Not that it matters —
everyone is Irish on March 17!

When New Orleanians "make groceries" in the Big Easy, chances are they'll be patronizing one of many locally owned, independent grocery stores. Langenstein's, Robert Fresh Market, Dorignacs and Rouses are four great options, each with its own signature style and claim to fame.
Marc and Darlene Robért are newcomers to the party, opening their first Robert Fresh Market in the suburb of Metaire in 1994, now with multiple locations around town, each with an emphasis on local and organic product. Rouses is the go-to spot in the Quarter, with a fancy new location in the burgeoning Central Business District. The store has its roots as the City Produce Company, founded by J.P. Rouse in Thibodaux, Louisiana, in 1923. Dorignac's, opened in 1947 in Metairie, is known for its terrific wine selection and outstanding customer service.
When Michael Langenstein and his sons George and Richard opened Langenstein's supermarket in the early 1920's, their goal was to carry the best meat and seafood in New Orleans. Locals love this place for its amazing quality meats and gourmet prepared Louisiana specialties.
Making groceries N'Awlins style means it stays in the family.

I won't snark about Twilight out of respect for Alysia.
But I will threaten to kidnap Squish if you don't burn the Twilight books still hanging around the house in five years when Anya is done with them.

I won't snark about Twilight out of respect for Alysia.
But I will threaten to kidnap Squish if you don't burn the Twilight books still hanging around the house in five years when Anya is done with them.
As always, PITH made me LOL!
You guys always make me smile.
We had a great time! We all got there around 10 and staked out seats, and Alysia came closer to midnight. She doesn't have much stamina, and is in a lot of pain, so if she'd gotten there early she would have worn out before the movie started. At first it looked like we weren't going to be able to get seats for everyone next to a wheelchair spot (she can walk, but the wheelchair is designed to help her be comfortable and to help with her stamina) but it worked out pretty well.
She has her wheelchair all blinged out with Twilight buttons, so there was no questioning what film she was there to see!
I'm actually a pretty big fan myself, so I was happy to see the way they wrapped it all up. And it was so good to be there with Alysia, it would have been impossible to enjoy it without her.
All in all, it was a good night.
And I will do my best to keep Squish/Bonecrusher away from the novels when his time comes. My 11 year old boy has had no interest, so the boys seem rather immune. Even WITH the vampires and werewolves... Too much kissing, not enough blood I guess.
And, with that and the end of Harry Potter, I am officially out of the midnight opening business. (I know, I know, some other movie madness will start. Let me live in my bubble of denial, please?)
I am a big fam of Kristen Stewart and the other actors but, I refuse to watch a vampire wannabe film made into a soap opera. No disrespect Twilight fans but, let me say a thing or two.
First, who asked Dean Koontz if they could use the title Twilight?
Second, back in Bram Stoker's days, the literary world (of horror) made a set of rules that all vampire art must follow after Dracula, the vampire king. Wooden stake, night activity, sleeping in their coffin, shapeshifting to a bat, wolf, and mist, vampire brides being bi-sexual, etc. Nowadays they have ignored and spit on the roots of the vampire legend because they have no clue to the history. How can you make a vampire film without understanding the history and roots? If I was offered millions to make a vampire film and never studied the history I would be ashamed of myself.
Third, I love you (as a sister) Kristen Stewart.
I'm pretty sure Koontz's book was titled "Twilight Eyes" A good one too.
Dean Koontz can't hold an exclusive on the title Twilight--no author can. Authors can copyright the text of their books to prevent others from plagiarizing the story but not the title.

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
The heart is the hardest working muscle in the human body. Located almost in the center of the chest, the adult human heart is about the size of a fist.
At an average rate of 80 times a minute, the heart beats about 115,000 times in one day or about 42 million times in a year. In a 70-year lifetime, an average human heart will beat more than 2.5 billion times. Even when a person is at rest, the heart continuously works hard.
The cardiovascular system is made up of the heart and blood vessels. It's responsible for circulating blood throughout your body to supply the tissues with oxygen and nutrients.
The heart is the muscle that pumps blood filled with oxygen and nutrients through the blood vessels to the body tissues. It is made up of:
Four chambers (two atria and two ventricles) that receive blue (deoxygenated) blood from the body and pump out red (oxygen-rich) blood back to to it:
The atria receive blood coming back to the heart.
The ventricles pump the blood out of the heart.
Blood vessels, which include a network of arteries and veins that carry blood throughout the body:
Arteries transport blood from the heart to the body tissues.
Veins carry blood back to the heart.
Four valves to prevent backward flow of blood:
Each valve is designed to allow the forward flow of blood and prevent backward flow.
An electrical system that serves as a natural pacemaker and stimulates contraction of the heart muscle.

The Federal Aviation Administration has announced Easterwood Airport's tower is one of 149 that will close effective April 7.
The Texas A&M's airport tower is one of 13 in the State of Texas that will close as a result of the sequester.
The FAA announced 24 federal contract towers that could have been cut will remain open.
Around 20 airport managers in Texas whose towers were on the chopping block recently met in Austin with TxDOT officials as the sides worked to find possible solutions to the funding issues.
Statement from Texas A&M University President R. Bowen Loftin
"We are obviously disappointed by today's announcement by the Federal Aviation Administration to close the air traffic control tower at Easterwood Airport, just as we are sure similar concerns are being expressed by other areas impacted by the decision. We will ensure procedures are in place to maintain a high level of safety and continued commercial airline service for our community. Air service is absolutely critical for a vibrant and growing community such as ours—and particularly for one that is home to a top research university. In the interests of public safety and our local economy, we are considering all options to maintain ongoing air traffic service for Easterwood."
Federal Aviation Administration Press Release
WASHINGTON – Today, the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) reached the decision that 149 federal contract towers will close beginning April 7 as part of the agency's sequestration implementation plan. The agency has made the decision to keep 24 federal contract towers open that had been previously proposed for closure because doing so would have a negative impact on the national interest.
An additional 16 federal contract towers under the "cost share" program will remain open because Congressional statute sets aside funds every fiscal year for these towers. These cost-share program funds are subject to sequestration but the required 5 percent cut will not result in tower closures.
"We heard from communities across the country about the importance of their towers and these were very tough decisions," said Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. "Unfortunately we are faced with a series of difficult choices that we have to make to reach the required cuts under sequestration."
"We will work with the airports and the operators to ensure the procedures are in place to maintain the high level of safety at non-towered airports," said FAA Administrator Michael Huerta.
In early March, FAA proposed to close 189 contract air traffic control towers as part of its plan to meet the $637 million in cuts required under budget sequestration and announced that it would consider keeping open any of these towers if doing so would be in the national interest.
The national interest considerations included: (1) significant threats to national security as determined by the FAA in consultation with the Department of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security; (2) significant, adverse economic impact that is beyond the impact on a local community; (3) significant impact on multi-state transportation, communication or banking/financial networks; and (4) the extent to which an airport currently served by a contract tower is a critical diversionary airport to a large hub.
In addition to reviewing materials submitted on behalf of towers on the potential closure list, DOT consulted with the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security, and conducted operational assessments of each potential tower closure on the national air transportation system.
Some communities will elect to participate in FAA's non-federal tower program and assume the cost of continued, on-site air traffic control services at their airport (see Advisory Circular AC 90-93A.) The FAA is committed to facilitating this transition.
The FAA will begin a four-week phased closure of the 149 federal contract towers beginning on April 7.

Thursday, February 20, 2014
Last spring, the Cane Bay Cobras were picked to finish last in the region.
Same story this spring.
The question is can this bunch do what the Cobras pulled off in 2013, finishing well ahead of the curve in second place.
We want to exceed expectations again, Cane Bay coach Shane Todd said. Last years team overachieved and finished second after being picked last, so the challenge is there once again. Hopefully the hard work and dedication of these young men will pay off for them. We want to put ourselves in a position to win a championship.
The Cobras have a number of players returning with experience, but only bring back two everyday starters in seniors BJ Thompson at third base and Trey Burdette at shortstop. Both were also used on the mound last spring and will be expected to handle that role again as key relievers.
They were also team leaders offensively last year. Thompson batted .358 with 12 RBIs and eight stolen bases. Burdette hit .283 and stole a team-high 14 bases in 15 attempts.
The strength of this years squad should be pitching depth. The Cobras have eight capable arms that should be able to keep them in ballgames, Todd said.
Todds team has four left-handed starters in senior Cody Maw (1-1, 2.58 ERA), junior Billy Detyens (0-2, 18.67 ERA), junior Chris Hitchman and sophomore Tanner Coleman (0-3, 6.76 ERA). The group combined for 54-plus innings last season.
We feel comfortable handing the ball to any one of them and knowing they will go out and battle, Todd said.
Thompson and Burdette are righties with good velocity on the fastball.
Juniors Bryce Singletary and Johnathan Bowman will also work out of the bullpen as well.
Defensively, the Cobras are aiming to fill six of the everyday positions with new starters. Sophomore Cameron Rozal will anchor the defense from behind the plate. He had significant playing time last year as a freshman and Todd said he is expecting Rozal to continue his growth as the field general.
Detyens or Hitchman will man first base and serve as designated hitter most of the time.
Two or three players could see action at second base depending on who has the hot bat and who is on the mound. Senior Christian Dutton will get the first opportunity with Thompson a possibility as well. Todd said Junior Luke Paez has improved great with his hard work in the weight room and will be pushing for playing time.
Third base will be held down by Thompson but Singletary could see a large amount of time there as well.
Burdette won the shortstop position in 2013 and has improved his hands in the offseason. The competition there will be to see who fills in when he is on the bump, and there are a number of candidates.
The outfield is an area with some good athletes so the Cobras have good depth out there. Senior Cody Maw is working in left field with Coleman and senior Jacob Page working in center field. Page is coming off ankle surgery from football and he should hold down center field when fully healed. Coleman will then man right field. Bowman, Dutton, and Thompson could all see time in the outfield depending on our pitching situation.
Offensively, the Cobras will once again rely on small ball to be successful.
We have some athletic young men who are aggressive and we intend on putting pressure on the defense by trying to create scoring opportunities, Todd said. We have a team approach to offense that has worked for us in the past. We dont have to be great hitters, just tough outs. Each batter has to have the attitude that he will do whatever is needed for us in that at bat.
The Cobras took advantage of the new South Carolina High School League rule that allowed fall practices.
Our coaching staff worked fundamentals in the fall and we believe we will see the fruits of our labor here in the spring, Todd said. We feel this groups chemistry and work ethic will be the cornerstones for the season.

This time we get a first look at it compared to the E46 3 Series, against which the 2 Series has often drawn a comparison.
We also see more of the M235i in Alpine White and Mineral Gray.
Auto Motor Und Sport recently had some studio time with the M235i Coupe and they took the opportunity to bring it together with the iconic 2002 Turbo for a photoshoot and comparison look.
What we're looking at is a 1973 2002 Turbo powered by a 2 liter turbo 4 cylinder (the first turbocharged production car in Europe) with 170 HP and 180 LB-FT torque. The 2002 Turbo weighs just 2,381 pounds. 0-60 MPH took 6.9 seconds.

Production of the 2 Series Coupe officially begins today at BMW's Leipzig plant, which also builds the X1, F20/F21 1 Series and the i3 electric car (i8 will also be produced at the same plant in 2014).
Initially, 720 2-Series will be produced per day, but that figure may be increased if needed. So far, the 2 Series lineup includes M235i, 228i, 220i, 225 and 225d coupes. The 2 Series convertible will join the lineup next year.

An imaginative look at the BMW M2 Coupe, M235i in different colors and with different wheels, as well as the M235i with M Performance Parts.
The first official 2 Series video teaser posted nearly two weeks ago previewed not only the M235i, but also a cinematic short-film featuring the car.
The complete short-film has now been posted. It's essentially a gratuitous car chase scene, but what better way is there to get more looks at the M235i in action? Click inside for a look (may take a few seconds for video to appear).
This may not be a direct apples to apples comparison since the M235i is currently only available in 2-door coupe form while the CLA45 AMG has 4 doors and a higher price tag, but the M235i will compete in the same segment as the CLA45 AMG and the performance figures are not far off. This is the best comparison we can make until a M2 comes along…
BMW insider Scott26 shares some info on the upcoming BMW 2 Series Gran Coupe 4-Door Sedan.
A 4 door model of the 2 Series has been conceived as part of an expansive compact model strategy. And make no mistake BMW are interested in such a model because it adds consistency to the Gran Coupe series and would be a successful profit unit as well as establishing a RWD narrative for this exciting new segment.
The car is viable because of the modular architecture within the platform.

Regarding the tagline you are thinking about: What activities or action helps people know the truth, regardless of the message in marketing or advertising?
When people ask "why are you successful" the response should be "isn't it obvious?"
This topic relates to almost anyone, not just entrepreneurs. If you have a job and a quota, this can still work. Entrepreneurs have a harder time because there is no one standing over their head holding them accountable. Entrepreneurs create their own obstacles since feelings, emotions and comfort levels can have a more dramatic impact until a personal commitment and discipline takes over.
The trick to content:Don't think.Listen to the questions.Answer them.Done.
Those who think before they listen can get lost in the possibilities.The deeper they think, the bigger the possibilities.It's not that they are wrong, but it quickly becomes a buffet of opportunities without focus.
So "think first" is not the mindset. It is "listen first" and "serve" which means you may have to Unthink. Like those in this video:

I love to sing. (Though you will rarely find me singing now)When I was in 8th grade I took choir class in junior high school.Found out I wasn't as good I as I wished for.Couldn't read music well, could not sing a note on request.And so I copied the person next to me.I became an expert at listening to the person to my right and immediately matching their pitch. I believed no one noticed... at least no one said anything.It was the best I could do. By being a fast imitator and keeping up, I passed the class.
--- Which could be referred to as mimic, copycat, impersonator, parodist, pretend, fake, simulate, replicate or duplicate. Most of which are not words to be proud of.
You are invited to connect and network with the four CEOs of Talking Rain, Holland American Group, Port of Seattle and Alaska Air Group along with other Washington business leaders on May 15th at Caribbean inspired Member Reception at the World Trade Center Seattle.

A 17-year-old was detained on multiple charges on Saturday after assaulting his mother and the family dog, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
John Schifferli, of St. Charles Way in Graniteville, was charged with two counts of third-degree assault and battery, animal cruelty and vandalism. He was placed in the Aiken County detention center, where he remained on Monday afternoon.
Schifferli's mother told deputies her son woke up "irate" about a crying baby, according to the sheriff's report. Schifferli began to curse and scream at her for no reason and asked for his mother's car keys, which she refused, according to the report.
At that point, Schifferli tried to take his mother's purse, police said. A struggle followed, during which Schifferli broke a computer desk in the home and assaulted his mother, causing scratches to her left hand, according to the report.
Once his mother got her purse away from him, Schifferli then grabbed a hammer and tried to hit a 22-year-old male victim with it, the report stated. The male victim was able to wrestle the hammer away from Schifferli, at which point Schifferli reportedly began "assaulting" him.
The report did not indicate a relationship of the 22-year-old to Schifferli and his mother.
After assaulting the male victim, Schifferli began punching the family dog in the head repeatedly and then fled the scene, according to the report.
An officer spoke with Schifferli on the phone and convinced him to return home.

Ultra Soft Elastomer:
The Virtue® Crown™ "lid-less" feed system makes reloading easier than ever while. No more opening the lid. No more paintballs spilling out or feeders popping off. The Crown's patent pending hinged elastomer design allows paint to flow freely into the hopper while preventing paint from coming back out -- no more how hard you shake it or dive.
Guaranteed to Feed Faster & More Securely
The Crown for the VLocity JR includes 3 parts: Locking Ring, Crown, and the VLocity JR Lid Adapter. All 3 parts are necessary.
Key Features:
The Crown is available in two types of Elastomer. Neither is "best", decide based on your style of play.
Ultra Soft Elastomer:
The fastest reload with a low chance of paint coming out. Ultra Soft Elastomer keeps paint from coming out under most conditions, but vigorous shaking may lose a few balls.
Standard Elastomer:
Offers a quick reload with NO chance of paint coming out. Rigid, but flexible Elastomer lets NO balls out, even with the most vigorous shaking.

Comments about Bindaboo Retractable Pet Gate and Spacers:
Works great and is gone in a second if you need it to be. Since it comes with the two sets of hardware I also use it outside on my deck. If it gets dirty I just hose it off!! It did take a little time to install though... about 10 minutes per place I mounted it so 20 minutes total.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
