Thank you, good sir!
My tanks seem to be working again this morning, after yesterday's debacle.
So I looked at my desktop to see what it's running.
Radeon X1600, 2g OCZ ram, Pentium D 3ghz.
despite technically being what the game calls for, it doesn't cut it.
Used to play CS and DOD just fine. can't even run those anymore
lobster was talking last night about there being 'blades of grass' in the game :huh
guess i got a little fps envy
Not doing too well today.....have never had a squad of heavies get rolled up this fast before...leaving me with no support and a squad of flies coming at me from all sides...
Picked up an M4 this morning and won 17 out of 25 for a 68% win rate. Great fun...
So which way next? the easy 8 or the Jumbo?
Both have their fans, but the problem I have with the E8 is that while it has a medium gun, it doesn't really have the speed to get out beside or behind people, where-as at least the Jumbo has armor on the front of it.
That is a square one with an anvil strapped to the shoe...
Things are slowly getting better...
Total Past 24 Hours Past 7 days Past 30 days Past 60 days
Victories 58.82% 57.35% 54.77% 53.14%
Efficiency 1606 1576 1518 1463
...and now upto 19 Brothers in Arms while playing with you hoseheads

Nice, very nice.
PM me for the ADV Teamspeak info if you want to be able to platoon with some of us.
From the user names and his location shown I would guess he is on the SEA server...
Hey look me up if you're on the SAE server. Same user name.
Make that 20 BIA's. Good playing with you Ray
yep thats the one
Yesterday I was a little under the weather, so I played a bit. Did ok during the day.....got my ass handed to me on a platter later that night....good thing I don't care about my W-L rate.
Have you played with the new german light tanks....boy they are fun....not sure if I will keep them all or just buy a new space....I have a hard time selling gold tanks....some I have not played in a LONG time....wish you could gift them to people.
XVM - First Time Install.
For reference, here is the official XVM website in English:
I have seen some of you guys in TS struggling with your XVM install so I thought I'd take a minute to give the steps.
If you have never installed XVM before - you MUST do all of these steps.
You can NOT just copy Brian's folder. You can NOT just click on Dave's link to "XVM Updater".
(unless you are really lucky and happen to have all of the components pre-installed; but it is unlikely for most users).
**CLOSE WORLD OF TANKS** before you start
1) .NET Framework:
You must have the microsoft .NET framework on your machine - chances are that you do have it, so we'll skip how to get it. If you do all these steps and it doesn't work you are missing .NET.... let me know and I'll help you get it.
Here is a little application that will allow you to check your .NET version if you want to:
You need version 3.5
2) Dokan Library:
You must have the Dokan Library Installed. You most likely do NOT have this library installed. to Install it:
You want the file:
Dokan library
dokan-0.6.0 2011/01/10
Here is the direct link to download the file you need:
Just run that exe and follow the steps to install it (all default is good). AFTER you have the Dokan Library installed - you then want to download XVM Stat.
3) XVM Stat
Here is a directly link to the XVM Stat file:
This will save a file (zip) on your hard drive.
Put that file in your World of Tanks GAME FOLDER (usually: C:\Games\World_of_Tanks and NOT your mods folder) and then extract it in THAT folder. This will put two files in your game folder: xvm-stat.exe and xvm-stat.exe.config.
THESE are the files required to run XVM. NOT the xvmconf file.
You can delete the three .txt files that came with the zip if you like.
4) How to Start XVM and WoT
To play with XVM running you now run world of tanks via the xvm-stat.exe file - NOT the world of tanks icon you have used in the past. What I do is right click on this Icon, click "create shortcut" and then I can move/use this shortcut to where ever I like to launch world of tanks (i.e to my Task Bar in Windows 7).
5) XVM Config
Now that XVM is installed - we can talk about the Config file. Everything that XVM does is configured by a Text file called: XVM.xvmconf
It is located in your "World of Tanks\res_mods\[game version]\gui\flash\" folder.
The graphic user interface that has been linked to before - is actually a GUI that is simply editing this TXT file for you so you don't have to do it.
Right now you do not have a XVM.xvmconf
You can make one using this GUI:
Where at the end you would click SAVE and then put that file in your:
If you want to see what the contents of that file look like here is an example:
Another thing you can do is download OTHER user's configurations - they are usually named after the user - like TopGeek's XVM config - basically people who have taken the time to customize that TXT file to a cool way they like and they've shared with the world - there are LOTS of them out there:
...but chances are at this point you just want to play and don't understand what all of those features are - so you just need a sample XVM.xvmconf file to get you started... I'd give you mine but it has been modified extensively for 2560x1600 resolution (PM me if you run that resolution and want to try it).
So lets make a quick/simple XVM.xvmconf file:
Go to the GUI editor:
and click SAVE (in the flash window) - it will open your My Documents most likely and default to the file name XVM.XVMconf. Change to your C:\Games\World_of_Tanks\res_mods\0.8.4\gui\flash folder and save that XVM.XVMconf file there - IN THE FLASH FOLDER.
That's it. You now have XVM installed.
LAUNCH XVM with the SHORTCUT we made earlier - NOT with your WORLD OF TANKS ICON!
Now that it is installed you can start tweaking the GUI with the editor - saving the XVM.xvmconf file each time and updating it on your PC to see the results.
**you must restart World of Tanks between every XVM change**
Some popular XVM configs:
Engiands: http://www.curse.com/wot-mods/worldoftanks/engiands-xvm-config
Grandpas KISS (which ironically it is not simple): http://www.curse.com/wot-mods/worldoftanks/grandpas-kiss-interface-xvm
Roughnecks: http://www.curse.com/wot-mods/worldoftanks/roughnecks-tank-xvm-test-7-5beta
I hope this helps - good luck!

TDs need to move immediately after firing in the open. You were a sitting duck for the arty up on that hill.
Hello, I play on the US servers and mostly play the German TD's. I am mainly looking for others to platoon with on a regular basis.
It was suggested I ask about joining to make it easier to find platoons.

Fired Twice
Bort last edited by
Here's a little story I call "Fired Twice From The Same Company Inside Of A Single Month".
For the last year or so I've been working for a consulting company. The client I was working for was having legal trouble so they had to scale back operations (laid off almost everyone). The leadership of my consultancy got me an interview with another client right away.
The new client is a fairly large company that's known for having one of the most modern technical organizations in the area. (Standards are pretty low) I did the interview and got in immediately. I was feeling pretty proud of myself for having been accepted considering other, even more experienced, consultants from my company failed to do.
The working environment was kind of strange to me: It was clearly a converted warehouse room with no natural light and no dividers of any kind. Between 100-150 people sat in that room. Two to a desk. Desks designed for one person.
They rigorously practice pair programming there - two devs work on a single machine with two monitors, two keyboard and two mice. This is how almost all work is done.
I thought this setup was helpful as I was sort of new to the technology stack and of course to that code base, so I would always have someone to help bring me up to speed.
But I found myself having to ask "what are you doing now?" to my pairing partner several times a day. (We also rotated every few days). They would just type away and ignore me. The one guy had all the keyboard shortcuts memorized for the IDE I had never used. He used them exclusively. He even had some of his own shortcuts and command line aliases set up making it rather difficult to follow what he was doing or why or even how.
Whoever I was working with seemed to prefer to "drive" and I wasn't about to just grab the mouse while they were working because they did that to me and I found it really jarring. I kept trying to bring up the idea that maybe I should be the one driving so I would learn faster but this was basically ignored. I brought up this issue during our scrum retrospective. That thing where you write suggestions on post-its and then they're considered by the group. The scrum master just kind of read it under her breath and stuck off on the side of the board. Was it wrong to bring that up there?
I only spoke to one of the managers once. I said I was excited to work there and was looking forward to all the stuff I was going to learn (Angular, Mongo, Docker...). I did mention that it was kind of noisy in there, but that it wasn't a big deal and I would get used to it. Later that day, I got a message from my handler (guy from my consultancy) that they were worried I "wasn't working out".
A few more days passed and right after they finally got me a laptop, I got another message from my handler "collect your things and meet me down the street at the end of the day". Well, that could only mean one thing, couldn't it?
"[The head manager] said you're not working out. Did he ever talk to you about any concerns he was having? Did any your team lead?"
"Not once. Did he give a reason why I didn't work out?"
"He just said 'he's too quiet' and 'he didn't make enough of an effort to drive'. That's it."
I had never been fired before. I've always been the one who "fires" my boss.
My handler tried to convince me that it wasn't my fault, though I can't help but feel this was a personal failing. Personal, as in, not a skills problem, but a personality problem. I'm too quiet? It's never been a problem before...
The day after getting fired, my handler told me there was another spot under a different manager at a different building for the same client.
I went there to interview and was actually glad to have been kicked out of the other division as this was a nicer environment that offered the same opportunities.
Aced the interview. Half an hour after I left they asked my handler "when can he start?". I was all ready to go the next Monday. This time, I would... Well, I wasn't sure exactly what I needed to do differently... This time, I would never stop talking. I would talk and ask questions and never allow a moment of silence.
Friday at 4:45pm, I get a message from my handler: "You're not going in on Monday. Meet me for lunch and we'll go over it."
"They changed their mind and they're going to pass."
"What happened?"
"Someone went to type your name into the system to sign you up and saw there was already an entry for you. Then they saw that you worked for [previous head manager] just a couple of weeks ago, so they asked him what the deal is. And he told them the same things he told me 'he's kind of quiet', etc and [the new manager] decided to pass."
What's the lesson here? I'm not sure I even know. Be more proactive or something? Was it because I said it was noisy. I could have said much worse things than that (I've left out a lot from this story because it's already so long).
Then fired a second time.
Inside of a month.
From the same company.
For being 'too quiet'... I guess?
On the other hand, you're fired for "too noisy" instead.
If you keep quiet and don't bring your complaint up, you would have been fine.

Managers creates reason to let go whoever he want to let go.
If they have some other reason for wanting to get rid of me, they'll use whatever as the excuse... but what was the real reason, then?
That's what bothers me.
If I did something wrong, am I going to do it again at the next job/client?
The working environment was kind of strange to me: It was clearly a converted warehouse room with no natural light and no dividers of any kind. Between 100-150 people sat in that room. Two to a desk. Desks designed for one person.
Oh, the memory of attending ERP presentation in a major transportation corperation here (I'm not giving out presentation there, merely standby and offer adhoc support in case something went wrong).
The room beside the one we're giving presentation is a conference room with a paper "war room" sticked on the door. The conference desk has been taken out and plain desk and seats are moving in there in similar fashion you described, except there's only around 25 person in that room... feels very crowded.
It makes me shiver to imagine if I have to work in that room for over a year.
They can't fire you just because you make complaint, can they? So they have to make a reason.
Since you mentioned you don't like the environment that is too noisy, the reason they created is not too far from truth, I guess?

Eh who cares. It sounds like they saved you some misery.

The whole "war room" concept kind of works, if you're solving one problem that won't take longer than a couple weeks. If it takes an entire year, then (even if it's high priority) that's not a "war room" situation, that's just work.

Be grateful for not having to work in such a horrible shithole. Off to the next assignment you go, hopefully one where they have a bit more sensible management and staff.

This most definitely sounds like an issue with the company, not you.
Enjoy the fact that you didn't have to end up suffering there for long. If they didn't interact with you and coach you on how to become a better member of the team, that's completely on them.
Count your lucky stars and enjoy the next place.

Oh, fuck that noise. You did nothing wrong. Those people are nuts. The SECOND I walked into a warehouse full of "coders" banging away at "paired" coding stations, I would pull a Cartman, flip the double bird and say, "screw you guys, I'm going home."
Yeah, I can see sticking it out while looking for another position. But, seriously, screw that noise. Pair programming is fucking retarded. Programming in a group or team is fine. Sitting side by side with someone and programming together (unless it is a code review, or you asked for help) is beyond stupidity. Seriously, it is as stupid as the hacking they show on those stupid cop shows where they have two people banging away at a single keyboard to try to stop a hacker.
Sane environments provide single workstations for programmers to work in. If they want more collaboration they can use dev leads, team leads, project managers, team meetings, agile meetings, etc. But having people rotate and pair up to program? No. Hard no.
Fuck those people. You are WAY better off without them, and their insanity polluting your mind. Insist to your handlers that they NEVER put you in a place like that again. If your handlers refuse, they don't have your back. PM me and I will put you in touch with some people I have worked with a LOT who WILL have your back.
Stay strong

That pair programming environment sounds like a nightmare. I didn't get into coding so I'd have to interact with human beings all day long. Give me a PC, tell me what stupid crap you want and leave me the fuck alone so I can get to work.
Then fired a second time. Inside of a month.
"Someone went to type your name into the system to sign you up and saw there was already an entry for you.

Meh, potentially you embarrassed that previous head manager with your "too much noise" complaint because it could have been his idea of running that warehouse "to improve collaboration" and "have more instant feedback" thanks to "proximity".
If he's so against you that he breaks up a contract after just a few weeks (maybe even days?) he could as well exaggerated to that new manager just to keep you out of his territory.

City drones: UAV taking on dangerous tasks, giving Calgary police a new view
Not just for hobbyists anymore, the City of Calgary and police have taken to the skies
|Report an Error
Share via Email
Hot on the Christmas list this year for hobbyists, photographers and tech nerds, the powerful toys aren't just for weekend flights.
The City of Calgary and police are both flying to new heights with the small, but useful machines, where they're finding have exciting applications in their everyday jobs.
Imagine a fatal car crash. As police tape off the area to reconstruct what led to the carnage, their crash investigation vehicles are each equipped with a drone. They deploy it and see a birds-eye angle.
"Getting an aerial view of a collision scene, we can see things we can't see at ground level – generally tire marks, paths traveled by vehicles," Calgary Police Service traffic Section Sgt Colin Foster.
He said last year they deployed a UAV for a collision and saw a painted square on the pavement the three investigators had missed.
Of course, police have the luxury of using HAWCS, but Foster points out the helicopter has higher priorities, is costly to operate and often booked up.
So far, officers have mostly used their crafts in the traffic unit, but Foster noted they've successfully deployed their flying machine for a missing persons case, where it was used in a park.
"The biggest thing is, in order for us to fly we have to be able to control the area," Foster said.
Both police and the city have versions of Special Flight Operations Certificates, which allow them to legally operate their crafts. Police's certificate has fewer limitations than the city's because they have the power to secure areas and ensure civilians aren't put in harm's way.
Foster is quick to note that a large chunk of Calgary is actually under the airport's "control zone" – translated as a no-fly zone for most other operators.
But it's not as simple as going up, flying and landing.
Bruce Cullen, director of Corporate Analytics & Innovation with the city explains they have to log each of their flights and notify nearby airports before take-off, reporting back to Transportation Canada in order to keep their certificates in good standing.
His department within the city has a more sophisticated drone, they use it for surveying and data collection, so it's equipped with numerous sensors – including one that can read infrared light.
He said for the city, this machine is delivering value.
"Drones can do certain types of jobs a lot quicker, and more accurately," Cullen said. "We're using it to provide images, location and condition data of assets, landfill, gravel pile volumes and other information to different departments."
They aren't just taking to the skies. For Cullen the city would send two people out in a rowboat to collect samples. But now those employees can safely steer an unmanned boat to collect without once leaving the shore.
It's a small fleet, but as the city finds new ways to use them, their drone army is slowly growing. Cullen said they may be looking into another survey drone, which isn't cheap at approximately $20,000 a pop.
In the parks department, Todd Reichardt said they are continuously exploring new and exciting ways to use their two drones.
Flying can help them take high-quality images of the park's inventory – giving us a view of today's plant growth and types for the historical archives. And it's also good at helping the city keep track of invasive weeds.
He said if the city had had drones in the days or years before Snowtember, they would have a much more accurate view of how much tree cover was truly lost.
"That would be the type of thing we deploy these drones for, especially for a disaster," Reichardt said. "We would want to see the effects right away."
Drone rules you might not know about:
Turns out you can't just buy an unmanned aerial vehicle and launch into flight, gathering cool visuals of Calgary's downtown.
There's actually quite a few rules for hobbyists to obey before they consider taking to the skies.
Nearly three-quarters of the city is actually a no-fly zone because of our proximity to the Springbank and Calgary International Airport. That means regardless of size and weight, you can't fly in the area – and if you do you could face a large fine.
The city also has two bylaws that dictate drones aren't allowed over parks or roads. If caught you could face a $100 fine or court appearance.
You can't fly at night, or if it's foggy out, and it has to remain in sight while in the air.
So, when can you fly? The only advice from the city is to get permission from a landowner (including the city) before taking to the skies.

In medical terms, cataract is defined as a condition that develops in the eye lens. Though cataract is curable, to the poverty stricken people of Bangladesh, it means a lot of suffering. They define it as a cloud of black lens that overshadows their life, make them paralyzed and turn them into burden for their family. A cataract treatment requires a lump sum of money which is beyond the reach of these people. The result; Most of them remain untreated carrying the burden of blindness with them throughout their life. From the day their eyes become victims of cataract, their contact with nature is disrupted as they are deprived of witnessing the beauties of nature. We, at Touching Souls International understand their problem and that is why this non-profit organization has undertaken an eye development project for them. The project is known as'Sight Restoration and Blindness Prevention Project'.
Since the inception of this project, this non-profit organization had successfully completed 978 free of cost cataract surgeries along with lens implant in many Districts of Bangladesh. But what matters more to us is their smile of joy getting back their lost vision.
Without eyes, humans are not only vision less but get alienated from their surroundings. The all pervasive darkness seems to draw a line in their life which they feel they are forbidden to cross. With a successful cataract surgery, they get an opportunity to live their lives once again. Their fear driven minds go fearless; the joy of witnessing the beauty around them makes them content. Now they are no different than any other person like a boy next door who goes to school regularly, or the man who carries her daughter to school on a cycle.
Eradicating cataract in Bangladesh is the mission of the non-profit organization, Touching Souls International. You can join hands with us in imparting vision to these poverty stricken people.
Donate to a charity and can use online donation organized by Touching Souls International, a non-profit organization who is actively involved in all sorts of charity work. Be a part of their projects and donate now..

Stress relief
I have often wished for a stress brick. This comic was inspired by the real Stress Brick, which is all soft and safe, but I couldn't help but wonder if an actual brick would solve more problems.
Maybe if it was a half brick in a sock.
I'm on the final stretch with my novel. I think I've been saying that for a while but there always seems to be something new to do. Every time I make a change that change ripples through the reality of the novel and involves changing other things which make their own ripples…it's enough to make you wish the rats in the walls would chew your face off.
I am once again bound by the limited spacetime dimensions (not to mention contents) of my wallet to ask you to check out our Patreon page to see if you can help support the comic.
That's all for today everyone, until next time may your enemies forever be stuck in the same pair of underpants.

Gordon Reid clinched his first singles title of 2017 on Saturday after securing his second successive ABN AMRO World Wheelchair Tennis Tournament crown in Rotterdam with a 6-2, 6-1 win over Nicolas Peifer of France.
World No.3 Reid secured early breaks in both sets of the ITF 1 Series final and took the last three games of the opening set, serving out the with a forehand down the line. He took a commanding 4-0 lead in the second set and a Peifer double fault set up match point, with the Frenchman knocking a forehand into the net to give 2016 ITF World Champion Reid the victory and the latest title for a Brit on the Tennis Foundation's Wheelchair Tennis World Class Programme.
"I'm very pleased with how this week went for me in Rotterdam. Not just the results, but more importantly the performances were massively improved from how I started the year in Australia," said Reid, who completed the Rotterdam event having beaten Australian Open champion Gustavo Fernandez of Argentina in the semi-finals and Australian Open runner-up Peifer in the final.
Paralympic gold medallist Reid began his singles title defence in Rotterdam with a 6-0, 6-4 victory over fellow Brit Alfie Hewett in another rematch of their Rio 2016 men's singles final. Hewett was also a finalist in the men's doubles in Rotterdam, partnering Fernandez.
"It's always a big opportunity to play alongside and ATP event, so I'm happy to have showcased some of my best tennis on the way to defending my title here. I'm looking forward to a good lengthy training block at home now before getting back to competing in April," added Reid.

Me and some gfs were catching up a few weeks back, and I was shocked to find out that a lot of them wouldn't "allow" (or, approve of) their fiances having a bachelor/bucks night if they were to get married. I found it bizarre? Please note: I do not condone cheating at these parties, but the idea that women actively prevent their men from having them is kinda crazy to me?
I don't see them as "grieving over a loss of freedom", I see it as turning a page and celebrating that growth. Or, even better, having a final boys' night as a 'single' man.
So girls: what is your opinion of them and guys, what's yours?
Most Helpful Girl
ok... so unlike the guy said... if youve ever been to one theyre not typically sex involved. its a cliche. I'm all for it! have one final time out to have fun with your friends as a "single" (not married) man or woman! because you're about to be committed to one person for the rest of your life! and as exciting as that might seem its just as frightening. so I am all for this for both the male and female. as you said though I as well do not condone cheating.11|00|0

When Anthony is working as a communications coach he does something unusual. He attempts to get executives to be more like, well, themselves. This counterintuitive approach helps executives communicate authentically, and in the process, makes their messages ring true and connect deeply with their audience.

Articles about Spirituality
When you feel like life has beat you down and you don't feel like you can ever get up again, consider improving the aspects of your spirit flow. Anything that impedes your spirit flow should be kicked out of your thoughts. A thought can trigger a number of emotions. These emotions can trigger a number of other thoughts. If you feel like you've become trapped in those thoughts and emotions, slow down, take a deep breath and rejuvenate your spirit.
Harboring a Grudge
Nothing stifles a person's spirit flow more than not forgiving past wrongs. As long as you hold onto that angry feeling, your spirit flow will be dammed up. Whenever you harbor an ill-feeling toward a past experience, you give away a portion of your own spiritual power. That portion binds your mind to something in the past. The only way to reclaim that spiritual power and leave the grudge harbor, is by letting go of the offender's wrongdoing and forgive them. Letting go may sometimes include confronting that person and telling them how their wrong made you feel, telling them that you forgive them and then never looking back.
Negative Thinking
Erase the word "can't" from your vocabulary. Just like the snow on a mountain eventually makes its way to the ocean, you can increase your spirit flow capacity by becoming a problem solution thinker. Whenever a problem presents itself, thank the universe for the problem and then earnestly search the collective intelligence for solutions. The collective intelligence is the culmination of all those who have gone before you. There isn't a problem on earth that doesn't have a solution. There isn't a problem that your facing that hasn't been experienced by someone else. Recognize this to rid yourself of negative thoughts that would otherwise hold back your spirit flow.
Seeking Instant Gratification
Be happy with what you have. When you begin to recognize and find gratitude for the little things that you take for granted, the flood gates will be opened and positive spirit flow will happen in your life. Let go of any "I'll be happy when" kind of thinking. Be happy now with what you've got and let tomorrow take care of itself. If you base the measure of your happiness on what you don't have, you'll spend your life wanting more, never enjoying what you have in the moment. Enjoy the journey as you travel toward those presumed gratifying destinations -- when you get there, you won't be let down.
Unrealistic Expectations
Nobody can make you happy. Happiness starts with you. Give of yourself before you ask others to give to you. Your spirit flow travels from the inside out, not from the outside in. Everybody is on the same river of life wanting nothing more than to be happy, fulfilled, loved and accepted. Never expect more of others than you do of yourself. Look at yourself in the mirror each morning and embrace who you are. Be content with your lot in life and the stress of daily expectations will subside. Expect too much of any one thing, person or place and the reality won't be able to appease your fantasy.

Many wanted to laugh at the Raiders' new GM Reggie McKenzie for firing the coach, Hue Jackson yesterday after one season of 8-8 football. From where I sit it looks like it could be entirely reasonable. Granted, a lot will depend on who the Raiders hire and what they do next year, but given our own experiences with the Browns and Mike Holmgren, it doesn't look totally crazy to me.
Mike Holmgren has all but admitted that he wasted a year by keeping Eric Mangini around for an extra season. Ultimately by hiring Pat Shurmur and pretty consistently referring to this past 4-12 campaign as "year one," Mike Holmgren is basically saying that he started his project a year later than the one in which he arrived.
Now in fairness to Eric Mangini, I don't think we can call his second year with the Browns a total waste. It was another year where Mangini reinforced what it meant to practice and play with discipline in the NFL. On the heels of Romeo Crennel's reign I would have a tough time just calling it a waste.
That being said, the team only won five games and they gave valuable playing time to guys like David Bowens and others who were never going to be a part of the Browns future. They didn't give playing time to Jayme Mitchell meaning that Tom Heckert didn't know as early as he could have that Mitchell is a backup at best for the Browns. Finally, they gave guys like Colt McCoy and Mohamed Massaquoi experience in a system that they eventually wouldn't even be running. From that perspective outside the control of Eric Mangini and assuming that Holmgren would eventually run the West Coast Offense and a 4-3 defense, the Browns absolutely wasted a year.
That's just water under the bridge now at this point for Browns fans, but keep it in mind with regard to the Raiders. I know that team has been something of a joke toward the end of Al Davis' life. They became a laughing stock due to some of their moves. The move that most recently raises the eyebrows though was executed by Hue Jackson after Al Davis' death.
Coach Hue Jackson was scared about the future after losing QB Jason Campbell to injury. In what terrified Browns fans due to its overwhelming help to the Bengals, he traded his 2012 first round draft pick and a conditional 2013 first rounder for the Bengals' disgruntled QB Carson Palmer. To think that we complain about the second round of the 2009 NFL draft that Mangini botched with Brian Robiskie, Mohamed Massaquoi and David Veikune.
So Reggie McKenzie made a difficult decision in removing a coach who delivered an 8-8 season. McKenzie, who comes most recently from Green Bay, presumably has a plan that he hopes to enact that runs differently than Hue Jackson. In that respect it actually takes a bit of bravery to remove a guy who seemingly had the team on a path to relevancy now with a new QB and coming off of a 500 season.
Sometimes leadership is hard because the right decisions aren't always easy to make. We'll see if McKenzie made the right decision in Oakland removing Hue Jackson, but we already know that given his goals, objectives and ambitions Mike Holmgren failed to make the hard decision in Cleveland upon his arrival. It cost the Browns at least one year. As every year looms larger and larger the further we get from 1999 it appears all the more wasteful.

Over the weekend, reports came out that Lance Armstrong would admit to doping in an interview with Oprah Winfrey. The interview, which is scheduled to be aired on Thursday but taped today, was preempted by a brief Armstrong visit to Livestrong, the foundation from which he resigned in November. According to an anonymous source, Armstrong apologized and shed a few tears, but did not admit to doping outright.
Via the Associated Press:
"Stripped last year of his seven Tour de France titles because of doping charges, Armstrong addressed the staff Monday and said, 'I'm sorry.' The person said the disgraced cyclist choked up and several employees cried during the session.
The person also said Armstrong apologized for letting the staff down and putting Livestrong at risk but he did not make a direct confession to the group about using banned drugs. He said he would try to restore the foundation's reputation, and urged the group to continue fighting for the charity's mission of helping cancer patients and their families."
Whether or not Armstrong comes clean with Oprah, it's still pretty clear that he's quite the sneaky and conniving guy:
"Armstrong still managed to slip away for a run Monday morning despite the crowds gathering outside his house. He returned home by cutting through a neighbor's yard and hopping a fence."

Very impressed by the Mexican Venice!
Mexico City Travel Blog› entry 1 of 13 › view all entries
And this is how the adventure starts. I woke up very early today to take my flight to Houston and then to Mexico City. Everything went out as planned. I couldn't sleep very well the night before because my advisor had me working until late, but I guess the excitement of the trip took over because I wasn't feeling tired at all! Since I had 12 hrs before my flight to Santiago, I had agreed to meet with my TravBuddy Toño at the airport of Mexico City, and so we did. From the very beginning I knew it was going to be a great day. I had never been to Xochimilco (a series of canals where you can rent a small boat –trajinera- for a tour –often the place has been called the Mexican Venice), so I was very excited that we would go. As soon as we arrived there I knew it would be great.
After so much fun in Xochimilco, time for lunch had arrived, but we still had another activity before that. Toño suggested we visited the Dolores Olmedo Museum, which contained not only the personal art collection of Dolores Olmedo, a Mexican philanthropist, but also some of the most important paintings from Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera.
In the outside of the museum you could see several Xoloitzcuintles –the Aztec dog, and only dog species originary from North America. They are black, thin and hairless, and were pretty impressive to see! Aztecs used to eat them, and some ppl says that they are still eaten unnoticedly by the customers of some taquerias in the area… -just kidding of course-.
After that, we went to Coyoacán, one of the most picturesque delegations of Mexico City. We took several pictures there, enjoyed the delicious weather and I had some snacks and Toño dinner. Food is never a problem in Mexico! Then Toño brought me back to the airport so I could catch my flight to Santiago. I had a great time in Mexico City! What a great way to take advantage of a layover! Now, here I go, South America!

It all started in 1993 when we built our first tents for the USDI wilderness firefighters. We needed a name for our tents and, with our facility located on the banks of Catoma Creek, we thought it was a natural fit, so Catoma was born. Since 1993, we have continued to design and build tents for the fire service, US military and other specialized customers.
Over the years many of our customers asked, "Do you make a consumer version of this?" So we decided it was time to start making tents to fit your backpacking and camping needs. Using our own back packing experiences from the A.T. to the high Andes of Bolivia, listening to our customers and applying your input to our designs, we have been having a blast creating new products and making our existing tents even better.
Thank you for your loyalty to Catoma Adventure Shelters. We love our customers and we believe in you. After all, you are a part of every product we make.

Jiuquan Iron in foreign alliance talks
Mainland steelmaker eyes strategic investor as it plans to inject all its assets into Shanghai-listed subsidiary
Jiuquan Iron & Steel Group is in talks with a foreign steelmaker on co-operation that may make it a strategic shareholder of the mainland firm before Jiuquan's planned asset restructuring.
Jiuquan, the largest steel group in the mainland's northwest, also planned to inject all its assets into Shanghai-listed unit Gansu Jiu Steel Group Hongxing Iron & Steel by 2010, group chairman Ma Honglie said on the sidelines of the National People's Congress.
'We are discussing with an investor, a foreign one, on some co-operation but I can't disclose its identity,' he said.
'We may introduce it as a strategic investor.'
This comes as the planned 2.09 billion yuan acquisition of a 38.41 per cent stake in a larger rival, Shandong-based Laiwu Iron and Steel, by the world's largest steelmaker Arcelor Mittal was stalled due to regulatory hurdles.
The stake was reportedly sold at a price considered by the National Development and Reform Commission to be too low, based on preliminary findings received by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, which owns the largest state enterprises.
Beijing has become more cautious in granting approval to stake sales by key state-owned industrial enterprises amid public outcry that state assets were sold too cheaply to foreigners.
The central government has made it clear in its steel industry policy that it would not allow foreign companies to have majority stakes in domestic enterprises, although it welcomed foreign companies to join domestic ones to consolidate the country's fragmented industry with more than 800 players.
Jiuquan Iron, the mainland's 16th-largest steelmaker, will follow the footsteps of its bigger domestic rivals in Shanghai, Wuhan and Liaoning province to float all its assets by selling them to their mainland listing vehicles.
The group saw crude steel output grow 17.4 per cent last year to 6.64 million tonnes, according to the China Iron and Steel Association.
Gansu Jiu Steel, 61.91 per cent owned by the group, early last year said it planned to produce 4.46 million tonnes of crude steel for the year.
Mr Ma said Jiuquan Iron planned to expand capacity to about seven million tonnes this year and eight million tonnes next year.
It started building of a 1.5 million-tonne-a-year cold-rolled steel production line last week, according to the China Industry Daily.
Scheduled to be completed in April next year, the line will manufacture products used to make home appliances and vehicles.
Gansu Jiu Steel posted profits of 343.15 million yuan in the first nine months of last year, down 31.4 per cent, due to higher energy and raw material costs and lower product prices.
It has not announced its full-year earnings for last year.

Fiscal conservatives around the country are outraged at the release of the latest NASA video, a five year time lapse of the Sun. The video, featuring stunning footage of the surface of the sun, is being universally criticized. "Five years?! Really?" says Senator Horntooter, in a hastily called press conference at the Capital. "This has cost the American taxpayer tens of millions of dollars for four minutes of footage. This is an outrage! If this had been done by private industry they could have done it for a tenth of the cost and time!" Senator Backpocket added, "My nephew has one of those GoPro cameras. He could have done this for free. Instead, we're using tax dollars that could be spent on the military or the helping out Wall Street and instead squandering it on high falluten' ambitions like inspiring humanity, instilling a sense of wonder, awe, and respect of the natural world to today's youth, and other useless things that don't increase shareholder value one cotton pickin' cent. Besides, didn't anyone tell NASA that photography is dead?"
Senators Horntooter and Backpocket are calling for a special sub-comittee meeting to radically defund NASA and replace "these obscenely expensive and useless videos" with GoPro footage from Red Bull.

Lanes 1-5: We primarily keep designed for any type of high power caliber rifle or shotgun. Handgun shooters may also shoot in this bay, however, the noise from long guns is significantly louder and may be unpleasant for some shooters.
Lanes 6-10: These lanes are used specifically for pistol shooters of all variants. They are designed with the same ballistic grade dividers, but are intentionally designed to be about 6" wider, so shooters can have more room when wearing holster gear and drawing from a holster.
Our motorized target carriers rapidly move your target down range on a steel track to provide an improved shooting experience. Unlike most facilities who use rope or cable to move targets, our steel tracks provide a level line of sight without the common "target sag" you see with other products. Controlled by a shooter-operated toggle switch in each lane, you can run you target out to the 25-yard mark in a matter of seconds.

"A sixth person has died in Sacramento County as a result of ingesting pills made to look like a prescription painkiller," reports KCRA in a newscast and article released on March 31. Officials from the Sacramento County Division of Public Health confirmed the six fatalities, as well as 28 other cases of individuals who became sick after taking the street-bought drug.
Illicit street drugs have been a hot commodity for many years allowing easy access for anyone searching for a pill to relieve pain and anxiety, or just to take the edge off. However, people cannot determine the true makeup of a pill unless they manufactured it themselves and, as a result, pills are now laced and mixed with extremely dangerous ingredients, resulting in addiction, overdose and death. Street pill mills are a cash business and it can be very lucrative as well as illegal. One 80-milligram pill of OxyContin can go for $80 on the streets of L.A., according to a recent CNN Money news report, which also states that this street pill industry is becoming a billion dollar industry and can incur felony charges if individuals are caught.
Facts about fentanyl
Classified by the Drug Enforcement Agency as a Schedule II drug, fentanyl is stronger than hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine and heroin. It is rarely, if ever, prescribed on an outpatient basis and is generally used for patients who are in severe pain in the hospital due to cancer or a major surgery or who are on hospice care.
Fentanyl comes in many forms, including pills, injections, patches and even lollipops. People have been eating fentanyl off the patches, resulting in overdose and death, showing the extreme measures that addiction to this narcotic can cause. Therefore, if fentanyl is this strong of a pain medication and is only prescribed under very limited circumstances, it is no surprise that, when milder painkillers are laced with this lethal narcotic, people are becoming sick and even dying.
Mistaken for Norco pills
The illnesses and deaths in Sacramento occurred because fentanyl pills were sold on the street to mimic Norco pills, a much weaker narcotic. Norco is a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen and is commonly prescribed in the outpatient setting for mild to moderate pain. Hydrocodone is classified as a Schedule II drug by the DEA and has the same addiction and overdose potential as other narcotics and, unfortunately, is overprescribed by many physicians. It is still unclear whether the consumers in Sacramento knew they were receiving fentanyl pills or Norco pills, as investigators are still looking into this matter.
"Toxicology reports Tuesday show the pills are actually fentanyl pills made to look like Norco tablets. The health department said the test results showed signs of hydrocodone and acetaminophen," according to another KCRA news report. "Fentanyl is being produced to a large extent in China. We believe from there it is being shipped to Mexico to drug trafficking organizations who are smuggling it into the United States," said Special Agent Casey Rettig with the DEA in an interview with KCRA.
Know the dangers
One pill can leave people on life-support in the hospital and eventually result in death. One pill can cost lives. Law enforcement agencies and politicians have been trying to stop drug trafficking for years, but people find new innovations to smuggle drugs across borders and to sell them on the street for a profit.
It is imperative to educate the consumers of these products on the potential dangers of taking a pill sold on the streets. In reality, nobody knows what ingredients are in that pill or how it was made, regardless of whether it seems authentic or not. Drug dealers are famous for lacing pills with unknown substances and the consumers of these drugs are the ones who are harmed. Just because a pill says "Norco" on it does not mean it is pure, unless it is prescribed by a physician and picked up by the pharmacy; otherwise the consumer is at risk of ingesting an unknown substance that can be lethal. Hopefully this tragic event in Sacramento can raise awareness to the public across the United States.

Fantasy baseball blog news and notes
I just saw the list of Home Run Derby participants. How's this: I'll take Giancarlo Stanton, and you can have everyone else. He's going to crush them.
Trevor Cahill's mediocre outing last night dropped our streaming starter record to 50-39, and officially puts us in a slump. Tonight's pick is Jon Niese (owned in 35.9 percent of FOXSports.com leagues) against the Phillies, while Wednesday's choice is Baltimore's Chris Tillman (0.1 percent owned), who makes his first start of the season in Seattle. Tillman used to be a big prospect, but he's flopped in a few chances with the O's. However, he's still just 24, and had some solid numbers (3.68 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, 92K/30BB in 89 1/3 IP) at Triple A this season. I'm intrigued.
On to the news:
Reds 1B Joey Votto missed another game Monday due to inflammation in his left knee, according to the Cincinnati Enquirer. Votto and manager Dusty Baker don't seem to think the star first baseman will need a trip to the DL, but the fact that they're even discussing it should make Votto's owners err on the side of caution in daily leagues. Until you know he's in the lineup, keep him on your bench.
Intergalactic superstar Mike Trout was scratched last night due to a bruised right pinkie, but he's expected to return to the lineup tonight. Trout owners can step back from the ledge now.
Rockies OF Dexter Fowler missed Monday's game due to a sore left knee, according to the Denver Post. The injury doesn't sound serious, but Fowler's status for tonight is uncertain.
Glen Perkins got Monday's save for the Twins, but the team's website reports that Matt Capps is slated to return coming out of the All-Star break as long as his rehab goes well.
The Red Sox aren't sure if 3B Will Middlebrooks (hamstring) will go on the DL, according to the Boston Globe. The Sox seem to lead the league in the will-they-or-won't-they DL category this season.
In other Red Sox news, OF Cody Ross' status is TBD for today after he left Monday's game with an ankle injury, and Daisuke Matsuzaka left the same game due to a combo of ineffectiveness and a stiff neck.
Both the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and the Cardinals' website report that 1B Lance Berkman hopes to return to the lineup next Friday without going on a rehab stint. Berkman has missed nearly six weeks due to a knee injury that required surgery, and you should proceed with caution in mixed leagues. When Berkman comes back, the Cards' roster will be crowded, with Carlos Beltran, Allen Craig, Matt Holliday, Jon Jay and Berkman available for four positions. This will be interesting.
In other Cardinals' news, Chris Carpenter had a throwing session postponed yesterday. Stay tuned for an update later this week, and once again, don't count on Carpenter for anything.
Dodgers 3B Juan Uribe left Monday's game with a sprained ankle, according to True Blue LA. We should know more about Uribe's prognosis later today.
The Tigers' website reports that Max Scherzer has been scratched from his Tuesday start due to a hamstring injury. There's no word on when he'll be back on the mound.
Rangers SP Derek Holland threw five scoreless innings in his latest Triple-A rehab start on Monday. Then he gave up five runs (on three homers) in the sixth – ugh. Holland appears healthy, but the Dallas Morning News reports that he'll probably get one more rehab start before returning to Arlington after the All-Star break.
Is anyone else as excited as I am about tonight's Andrew Cashner-Trevor Bauer matchup?
The Houston Chronicle reports that the Astros are taking it easy with 3B Chris Johnson, who hurt his back on Sunday. Johnson was given Monday off, and you shouldn't be surprised if he sits out for another day or two.
The Rockies' website reports that SP Jhoulys Chacin hopes to come off the DL in 2-3 weeks. It's uncertain if Chacin would go into the Rox' four-man rotation, or become one of their "piggyback starters." I bet you didn't plan on having to deal with that phrase when you were drafting your fantasy team this year.
The Cubs' website reports that SP Ryan Dempster is on target to come off the DL next weekend, which should set him up nicely for a trade. In other Cubs' news, 3B Ian Stewart is expected to miss the rest of the season following upcoming wrist surgery.
The Orioles' website reports that 2B Brian Roberts missed Monday's game with a sore groin; it's apparently not serious. Teammate Nick Markakis (wrist) hopes to begin a rehab assignment later this week, with the goal of returning to the O's after the All-Star break.
I'll make my weekly appearance in the FOXSports.com fantasy chat room today at 2 p.m. ET. Make sure to send questions!
The Marlins and Brewers get an early start today, with the first pitch scheduled for 4:10 p.m. ET. Set your lineups accordingly.
The Fourth of July might be a holiday for you, but I'll post a blog entry here, as usual. If I'm getting up at 5:15 a.m. to write something on a national holiday, you'd damned well better get up to read it.
See you back here tomorrow morning.

The Prince George's County government stayed open Wednesday, a calculated risk that appears to have paid off as the predicted massive snowstorm appeared to bypass many close-in Washington suburbs.
Each shutdown costs the county government about $1.5 million, said the county's chief administrative officer, an expense that is difficult to bear in the $2.7 billion annual budget.
Brad Seamon, the top aide to County Executive Rushern L. Baker III (D), said safety is the top factor in decisions to remain open or shut down. Wednesday's shutdown of the federal government in the Washington area actually made it easier to keep the suburban government open, he said.
For Wednesday, the prediction was that the snow was to be heavy about 11 a.m. or noon, falling at an inch or so an hour. That meant that at 4 p.m., quitting time for some county employees, there would be two to five inches of snow, he said.
That did not seem too daunting to Seamon, especially because when the county was deciding about 4 a.m. whether to open on time, officials already knew that the federal government would be shutting down.
"That means there will be less people on the road. The question was how bad off will we be, and the answer was probably not that badly off. It was not going to be a major safety hazard (to open the county government). "It was a combination of people not being on the roads and the crews being ready, which allows them to clear the roads off faster," Seamon said.
The Prince George's government allowed liberal leave for its 6,000 employees; Seamon did not have an immediate estimate of how many workers stayed home.
Meanwhile, the county's courts and the school system were shuttered.
Seamon said that whether or not the schools close doesn't really affect his thinking.
"There are times when the schools probably should be closed when we shouldn't be, because you are talking about kids." He said safety is the first consideration, and the risk of opening the schools — and then having a midday shutdown which would cause parents at work to try to scramble to get their kids — is something the county wants to avoid.
"That's a big deal," he said.
The county also weighs the risk of a midday shutdown, which is what happened during Carmaggeddon. "If you open, you have to be committed to staying open," which this time the county was, he said.
He said the county government last shut for Hurricane Sandy. That too was a calculated risk for a storm that largely bypassed the Washington region. He said he had no regrets, saying it is easier for local governments to deal with snow than other weather such as hurricanes.
"In retrospect, the weather did not warrant closing, but based on the facts that we had and potential public safety issues, it was a risk to close but it was worth the risk because you are talking about Mother Nature and a hurricane, which is often worse than snow," Seamon said.
"There is also nothing you can do about a hurricane, but with snow, you go out and you plow. With storms, you go and rescue people and deal with bad stuff that has already happened."

Having tried to sign Sergio Ramos this summer, Manchester United will reportedly try to sign his Real Madrid partner Raphael Varane next summer.
Varane was one of a host of Real players United tried to sign in the summer and, at just 22, would be a more ideal addition for the central defence than Ramos, who turns 30 next year.
France international Varane seemed set to join United in 2011 but, according to who you believe, United dropped their interest in him to sign Phil Jones or Varane rejected United for Real.
One problem: Varane signed a six-year deal with Real last season.
And more than 20 clubs are keen on United striker James Wilson.

"Our row house has been on the market for 40 days and we have not received a single offer"
"Dear PoPville,
Our row house has been on the market for 40 days and we have not received a single offer. I think our proximity to the metro and its Capitol Hill location are great, but it seems that the closed floor plan and the lack of A/C are turnoffs. I thought we were priced right, but am now wondering if we need to do another reduction. I would love to get feedback from the PoP Community."
The listing says:
"New price! Instant equity! Open House Sunday 6/12 1-3pm. Historic charm meets modern living on a tree-lined street on Capitol Hill! Fall in love with the tin ceiling and hardwood floors.

text: OK, I've bought 12 Toki's in the past month or so... all with the flower face qee. Which I think is just about the ugliest thing ever. Escpecially compared to the cute, cute bags. I've got 12 of these darn things sitting around. What the heck should I do with them? I've never sold anything on eBay or anywhere else and can't imagine it's worth the time & effort to bother. And if I ever do decide to sell a bag, I'll want to put the qee back on, of course. Do you love 'em or hate 'em? What do you guys do with your qees?


text: This is actually pretty easy. All you need is a glass jar with a tight lid, three vanilla beans and vodka. Slice the vanilla beans down the center. Put them in the jar. Cover with vodka. Put the lid on. Waite about 2 months. Shake periodically in the mean time.
