I rage-hate more in this game that I ever did in WoW. Now should I quit before I get a heart-attack? (just had a period of insomnia where the longes period I couldnt get any sleep was staying awake for a total of 21 (!!) days.
Heres what I did to get "fun" out of this game: I started to play ONLY Tier 2 Tanks. Some of them are quite fast (65kmt) and you get both magazines and "sniping" guns on them. Very rarely you meet artillery (WOOHOO) and MAYBE 1 out of 20 times you meet Tier 4.
Tier 2 = THE most fun of it all. I can drive in and cause a real havoc due to my skill which suits me PERFECT. I blow up Tanks in east & west with my 3 Tier 2 super fast tanks (BT2, M2 Light Tank & T2 Light Tank). These 3 are absolutely the most fun tanks I ever played. (I do own IS6 and Super Pershing, but I find them absolutely horrible with underpowered guns)

No wonder this only has a score of 7.25 (which in ALL circumstances would make me shy the game as hell; but a friend of mine asked me nice & politely to join him in it since he was "alone" there with no real life friends, and I said yes since my friend had a tough time at that moment.
My friend got better time, while I started to hate-rage. Wonder who won and who lost. Quite a paradox, wasnt it? :/

People want those T5 tanks to be in a narrow range like T3 - T7 ezmode. I'd bet if you could give them truth serum, they would say ideally they would be top tank in each game with everyone else in weaker tank.
The MM criers are why we can't have games with a bit of challenge.

During events everyone jumps on and most have no idea how to play the game. A lot will buy a premium t8 tank and die fast a call the game shit.. or get put into a a game with t5 tanks in their t3...
You just need to learn how to play.. all tanks have weak spots even a t3 tank can take out a t5 if you know how to play, or in that game you could just keep out the way of the t5 tanks and kill other t3 or t4 tanks its simple..
There are websites dedicated to showing all the weak spots of tanks, learn them and only shoot them in those areas..
This is one.
Any t5 tank or above will have a vulnerability button when you click on the tank.. this will show you where to shoot them.
Also thats not the end of it, the WOT combat system is pretty in depth.. you have tank weak spots, you have different types of ammo..
normal, premium and HE all can be brought with in game cash. Use normal most of the time but also take with you 5 premium rounds and 5 HE or maybe more. Use HE on any tank with an open turret or on something your finding hard to pen with normal ammo as HE will damage components of that tank and also possibly kill crew giving you an advantage. IF you come up against a tank that you cant pen no matter what, switch to premium and kill it but only do this when you have no other choice.
Then you need to take into account the angle of the tank, if the tank has sloped armor its going to be a lot harder to pen try and angle your shots so it hits the flattest part of the tank. Also after you have fired do not stand still, move back into cover or randomly wiggle the front of your tank at the person your fighting as this will make it hard for them to hit any weak spots of flat spots.. Some tanks have really good turrets, lots of armor and good angles.. with these tanks either try and hide in a ditch so the enemy can only shoot at the turret or just pop your turret over a hill when attacking and don't show the rest of your tank.
anyway a good basic page to look at.
There is also a randomness to your shots, the higher skilled your crew are the less the affects you but its always there and thats for everyone.. So don't rage when luck goes against you its just a game. Once your crew reach 100% in skill you get to choose a special skill its best to choose brothers in arms first as this will give a good boost to the main skill allowing you to do everything faster....
I started playing WOT before xmas and I now play it most days.. I still only have t8 tanks but i have lots of others that I enjoy playing as well. I have cash into the game.. I pay for premium access most months and I brought the T8 super Pershing as its good for making in game cash and was pretty cheap.. tho the speed and gun utterly suck balls haha.
Anyway I hope the links i put up help some new players a bit but new players need to realize this is not your average fps/tps game where you can run in guns blazing an expect to win its a game of tactics no tank is going to be able to take multiple hits from multiple tanks so don't put yourself in that position..
Also as a side note.. this game is no longer pay 2 win in any way.. everything can be brought with in game currency.

yes its not easy for a T3 tank to take out a T5 but its not impossible.. Just so you know i do think Wargamnig need to look at the match making system to make it 1 level each way but still as it is at the moment its not the end of the world. Most matches will be fine and you will get well tiered only now and then will you get a bad game where there are way more higher tiers than you.

I just started playing this with a couple friends a few weeks ago and its been a blast so far. Its all about strategy in this game, you cant expect to drive through the open field every game in the first 30seconds and expect to live. Its not pay to win what so ever, everything useful can be bought with in game credits. I'd recommend it to anyone looking to blow shit up and have a good time.

What is your point with this?
Also thinking the rating is probably low due to people voting the role playing rating really low as its not a role playing game..

It would be more appropriate to suggest to people that they avoid playing this game like you described. My goal is not to agitate you and have you come at me like you have with others, but to let people know they can have fun in this game. Rushing to the cap is extremely upsetting not just for you because you die quickly. It will frustrate your team also if you die quickly and not help them much in the process.
I agree that the matchmaker can be rough sometimes. It doesn't happen that often for me anymore, but I have definitely felt like I am over my head in some matches. It happens in the game and it happens in life. I hope you can learn to cope with it and be a positive force in society.
I cannot agree more that there is a lot of fun to be had at the lower tiers. When I do play, I find myself going back to playing low tier matches because there is a more even playing field and it is entertaining. There are some skilled players in low tier matches so it is not just a curb stomp festival on the new guys. Totally F2P and have a good time. No money needed. If someone chooses to spend money in the game, that is their choice.
As far as them being "Nazis", I have no experience in their forums. I think it is safe to assume most forums that are properly moderated will remove unfavorable posts if they are derogatory, inflammatory, etc. It should be a concern if they remove truthful posts with constructive criticisms. Is that what happened? BTW, Russians being called Nazis is somewhat amusing to me. Only because WWII was well before my time and I did not have any relatives slaughtered by either of them. Others may invoke Godwin's Law on that though.

BTW, plenty of people complain about not making their money at T8+ with a sub.

I raked in money with my T8 IS6 tanks on both the US serever and the EU server. Those were the first tanks I deleted. I have demanded my account permabanned in WoT and told them officialy in the forum that I will continue to kill teammates until my accounts are permabanned. Managed to kill 4 in the first round. When the 2nd game started I was sendt out of the game after only 2 team kills. Damn, thats unfair. There was plenty of double agents during the WW2 and I RP one now while I play the German tank. Well, that got me lousy 2 days of a ban. So I made a thread where I offered my account away to the one who had the WORST reason to have it, not the BEST. I encouraged people to be both creative and to be offensive as I wouldnt mind. Bah, got only 3 days ban for that. Now what the heck should I do to get my accounts permabanned? There is NO way I will do anything illegal, like threatening or try hacking cause that is absolutely not something I ever will support as I detest it. I did however ask if they just couldnt permaban my accounts so we dont have to go through this farce for a long time. I will not give up until accounts are permabanned! Reason: so there are no reason whatsoever for me to return when another friend ask me "please join me, game is alot better this time". Game sucks. So far it was ONLY World of Warcraft that could make me ragehate (I bet alot of you know that feeling). World of Tansk makes me ragehate even more than WoW... imagine that. Gonna call teh bank tomorrow and tell them to block all future transactions to Wargaming.net, so I dont suddenly find out I will give a gift to a friend of mine or anyone else I know who plays it. Which I easily could do because I dont mind other people having fun EXCEPT in World of Tanks.

Each week, gamers around the world log onto digital distribution platform Steam, to get their latest gaming fix, and every week, Player Attack lets you know which games were the most popular.
I spent my weekend doing a spot of housesitting, where "house" also happens to mean "farm". There are cows and sheep and horses and alpacas and chickens and dogs, and I have spoken to, fed, and cuddled just about one of every species. Still, there's other work still to be done, so let's take a look at how well Counter-Strike: GO did this week, shall we? Oh, there's a surprise.
Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO) will expand upon the team-based action gameplay that it pioneered when it was launched 12 years ago.
CS: GO features new maps, characters, and weapons and delivers updated versions of the classic CS content (de_dust, etc.). In addition, CS: GO will introduce new gameplay modes, matchmaking, leader boards, and more.

|Сompany, corporation, person or any other entity who is in charge of the operation of a certain map object
|Group: Properties
|Used on these elements
|Documented values: 7
|Useful combination
|See also
|Status: In use
|Tools for this tag
The operator tag is used to name a company, corporation, person or any other entity who is in charge of the operation of a certain map object.
Often it's useful to describe that a certain map object is operated by a company, corporation or a person in any way.
For example: Due to the emerging of private postal service providers, it may be useful for map readers to know which postal services provider operates a certain amenity=post_box.
In Germany there are already some private companies like PIN or Stadtbrief who install their own post boxes. Who wants to ship a letter has to choose the post box of "his" postal service provider ? Other examples are pubs, restaurants and hotel chains, maybe also streets maintained by private companies where a fee is required.
If the vast majority of a certain object in an area is operated by a certain organization and only very few by others then it may be sufficient to only tag the exceptions.
For example, when nearly all roads in an area are managed by a local authority then it would be sufficient to only tag those that are not with an operator tag.
When choosing the appropriate text field it is beneficial to use exactly the same text, including capitalization across all entries. Please refer to taginfo stats if company name was already used by someone otherwise the title of the associated Wikipedia article for the same organization may usefully be used as a reference for this.
Operator isn't necessarily the owner
As explained above, an operator isn't necessarily the owner of the map feature.
Especially in infrastructure when many transport and communication networks had been built by public administrations and now operated by private companies.
Be sure to use this tag according to this criteria. Have a look to owner=* and ownership=* instead.

Chocolatiers for Baking in NYC
I just ran all over the city this week looking for Valrhona white chocolate, so maybe I can help. I often used WF for Valrhona because their prices were surprisingly decent on it, but for whatever reason, they've decided not to sell the white and sometimes the milk chocolate anymore (at least at Bowery and Union Square; they claim they have it at the Tribeca location but that's out of my orbit). Anyway, frustrated that they select random types of chocolate for random stores, I headed to NY Cake & Baking where they have all types of Valrhona and Callebaut, always on sale. Sliiightly (barely) inflated prices but much less than you'd pay if you mail-ordered from ChefShop.com or the like. So, they have my vote for reliably finding a good range of top-notch baking chocolate. Hope that helps.

There are two types of assistantships available at NIU College of Law: research and graduate assistantships. After their first years, students can be considered for research assistantships in NIU College of Law, or for graduate assistantships within other NIU departments. Assistantships, research or graduate, normally provide waivers in the amount of full or partial in-state tuition, although some provide waivers in the amount of out-of-state tuition.
Normally, assistantship applications are processed during late spring for positions starting the next fall. Applications are processed in the early fall for positions starting in the spring.
Law students should note that tuition waivers affect the student's financial aid budget. The tuition waiver reduces the total student loan eligibility amount.
Types of Assistantships
Research Assistantships
- Research Assistants work with law faculty engaged in scholarly pursuits. They build important relationships with members of the legal academy and hone their research and writing skills. They work for the faculty member for 7-14 hours per week during the academic year. By doing so, they also significantly defray their tuition expenses: they typically receive either a full or partial in-state tuition waiver.
- After their first years, law students can be considered for research assistantships within NIU College of Law. A student should submit a Research Assistantship Application (hard copies are available in the NIU College of Law Office of Admissions & Financial Aid) to a professor with whom he or she would like to work.
Graduate Assistantships
- Many Graduate Assistants also earn a monthly stipend to help offset living expenses. Graduate Assistants work in departments here at NIU Law as well as in offices throughout the greater NIU community (e.g., in the student legal services office, the university counsel's office, the office of the ombudsman, and the student housing office). They work 10-20 hours per week during the school year or up to 40 hours per week during the summer. These assistantships provide tuition waivers in the amount of full or partial in-state or out-of-state tuition and often receive a stipend to offset living expenses.
- Students seeking Graduate Assistantships should contact the Office of Human Resource Services at http://www.hr.niu.edu/ServiceAreas/Grads/.

Ghana's mixed fortune as a dumping ground for e-waste
05 Dec 2012 22:59 GMT | Sport, Football, Portugal
Fernando Torres rediscovered his goal-scoring touch too late for Chelsea's Champions League hopes on Wednesday, with the English side becoming the first holders to exit at the group stage despite a 6-1 thrashing of FC Nordsjaelland.
Instead Juventus advanced to the knockout stages with a 1-0 victory at Shakhtar Donetsk, who also qualified from Group E, at the expense of Rafael Benitez' side.The Italian champions only had to avoid defeat to progress, and an own goal by Shakhtar defender Olexander Kucher from Juventus right back Stephan Lichtsteiner's low cross into the box in the 56th minute made sure of qualification.Juventus finished with 12 points, two more than Shakhtar and Chelsea. The Ukrainian club went through due to a better head-to-head record. The Blues will instead play in the Europa League."The game ended with the result dictated by the team that wanted to win more,'' Shakhtar coach Mircea Lucescu said.
"Juventus wanted the win more than we did, and they did it. I tried to motivate my players as much as possible."
On a bittersweet night for Chelsea, Torres ended a month-long goal drought by scoring twice in a match for the first time this season.
Wednesday December 5 Celtic 2-1 Spartak Moscow Chelsea 6-1 Nordsjaelland Man Utd 0-1 CFR Cluj Barcelona 0-0 Benfica Bayern Munich 4-1 BATE Braga 1-2 Galatasaray Lille 0-1 Valencia Shak Donetsk 0-1 Juve
Chelsea went ahead in a frenzied spell in which both sides missed penalties before David Luiz scored from the spot in the 39th minute. Torres netted in first-half stoppage time.Although Joshua John pulled one back for Nordsjaelland 20 seconds after the break, Gary Cahill began Chelsea's second-half goal spree with a header. Torres drove in his second before Juan Mata and Oscar added goals.
There was more fortune for Scottish club Celtic though.
Kris Commons smashed home a controversial late penalty to earn Celtic a 2-1 victory over Spartak Moscow and a place in the Champions League's knockout stage for the first time since 2008.The Scottish champions started the match level on points with Benfica in Group G but leapfrogged the Portuguese side, who could only draw 0-0 at Barcelona in the final round of group matches.With the match standing at 0-0 after 81 minutes, Celtic were heading out of the competition, only for Giorgos Samaras to fall easily under the challenge of Kirill Kombarov.
When Commons' penalty went in off the crossbar the Celtic fans went wild as they celebrated a surprising qualification from one of the hardest groups.
"The players have been magnificent - it is a monumental achievement on their behalf," said Celtic manager Neil Lennon.
"I didn't watch the penalty because I've watched our last couple and we've missed them."
Messi felled
Lionel Messi was carried off on a stretcher with an apparent knee injury as Barcelona were held to a draw at Camp Nou.
Messi, who went on as a reserve in the 58th minute, collided with Benfica goalkeeper Artur in the 85th and was in obvious pain from his left knee.Messi is only one goal short of tying Gurd Mueller's 40-year-old record for most goals in a calendar year.Benfica looked the sharper side in the first half, while Barcelona dominated in the second. Barcelona had already qualified for the knockout phase.
"We now have to wait for the results of tests, but the feeling is that it isn't more serious than a knock"
Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova
"It's a bruise which doctors have been having a look at," Barcelona coach Tito Vilanova said.
"We now have to wait for the results of tests, but the feeling is that it isn't more serious than a knock."
A late goal by Aydin Yilmaz gave Galatasaray a 2-1 win over Braga and sent the Turkish club into the Champions League knockout stage for the first time in 11 years.Galatasaray were level on points with Cluj going into the last Group H games and needed a win in Portugal to claim second place and advance behind group winners Manchester United.
Cluj's 1-0 victory over United was in vein as the Turkish club had a head-to-head advantage that sent the Romanian team into the Europa League.Braga finished bottom of the group with three points and are out of European football.
Jonas scored from the penalty spot as Valencia won 1-0 away to Lille, although it was not enough to guarantee top spot in Group F because Bayern Munich also produced a win.
Bayern, who thrashed BATE Borisov 4-1, finished top of the group because of a superior head-to-head record with Valencia - beating the Spanish club at home and drawing away.

It's Time for Montreal to Trade Markov
Posted By Corey Krakower On Jun 22 2010 @ 12:28 pm In Montreal Canadiens | No Comments
Andrei Markov has been Montreal's best defenseman for the longest time. He's a very good skater, he's a force on the powerplay, he is an elite puck mover and he can defend just as well as he can produce offense. It's rare that a defenseman in the NHL can be an impact player in all 3 zones. Most D are slotted as either offensive players that join the rush and play big minutes on the PP, or are asked to play a shutdown role against opposing teams' top lines and kill penalties. Think about it – how many defenseman are actually considered to be well above average at both? Chara, Myers, Keith, Lidstrom, Doughty, Weber, Suter, Pronger and maybe Markov and Erik Johnson. You can make a case for some others, but I doubt your list will feature more than 15 names.
As good as he is, I think the time has come for Montreal to trade Andrei Markov.
Believe me, I think Markov is VERY good, but I don't think it is worth it to keep him around. First of all, he is constantly getting hurt. It's not entirely his fault, but do you really feel like the Canadiens should be signing a long-term contract with a guy that is never healthy when you need him most? A few years ago, when Montreal was the #1 seed, he missed the second round of the playoffs and the Canadiens lost to Philadelphia. One year later, the Habs were the #8 seed facing the #1 Bruins and they were swept, of course, Markov missed all 4 games with an injury. This past season, when Montreal went on their miracle run, Markov was hurt early on in their second round matchup vs the Penguins. He missed the majority of that series (which Montreal ended up winning regardless) and when they were beaten up by the Flyers in 5 games, #79 could only watch from the press box. Going back to my initial point, I don't think its wise to invest another $30 million over 5 years, which is what he will command as an unrestricted free agent, in an asset that is never available during the playoffs.
Despite all of that, Markov is still considered an elite player. He is, however, in his early 30s and his value will without a doubt start to decline. He will still be very good for the remainder of his NHL career, but his trade value will only diminish over time. It's time to sell before his stock plummets or before he decides he will leave on July 1, 2011. The Canadiens are very thin on D prospects with the exception of PK Subban, so I think the Habs would be better off replenishing their organization with some young talent, rather than invest big money in Markov. The ideal move would be to trade him now or early on in the season, so that his contract status (UFA 2011) will not affect the return. I can't stand watching guys like Souray, Streit, Komisarek and potentially Plekanec leave for nothing. It's just bad business. Trade him now so the team can, at the very least, get compensated a little. They will not get a player as good as Markov in return, but they can restock their system with prospects so that in the long run it will pay off.
The question most fans will now ask is "who will replace Markov, if they wont be getting a player of equal value in return?" Take a look at who the Canadiens can invest $5 to $6 million in next year as a replacement for Markov – Zdeno Chara, Tomas Kaberle, Ed Jovanovski or even a combination of players like Chris Phillips, Mark Giordano, Andy Greene, Jonathan Ericsson and Christian Ehrhoff.
None of those players, except Chara, are as good as Andrei Markov; but they are still good players, and at least they will be there when it counts. It was difficult for me to come to terms with the reality of this situation, but I believe it will be for the best if/when Markov does leave the Montreal Canadiens.

What is measles?
Measles is a disease caused by a respiratory virus that produces telltale red spots on the body. In addition to the spots, symptoms include fever, runny nose, and cough. Measles is a childhood disease that rarely occurs in adults. Measles is also known as rubeola.
Measles has largely been eliminated in the Western world through the availability of a vaccine. It is still common in developing countries, with half of all deaths occurring in India. Measles occurs occasionally in the United States, most often carried by visitors from foreign regions, and may spread among populations of children who have not been vaccinated. Worldwide, there are approximately 10 million cases and 197,000 deaths each year from measles (Source: CDC).
Symptoms of measles typically develop within 10 to 12 days after infection with the virus. The first symptoms are generally a fever, sore throat, cough, and runny nose. The rash develops after a few days and may be associated with high fever. The virus is spread by infected droplets that enter the air when an infected person sneezes, coughs or talks.
Although most cases of measles do not result in complications, encephalitis can occur in one out of every 1,000 cases and may lead to severe brain damage. Seek immediate medical care (call 911) if you, or someone you are with, have symptoms of encephalitis, which include convulsions or seizures, lethargy, fainting or change in level of consciousness, and vomiting.
What are the symptoms of measles?
Symptoms of measles typically begin with fever, sore throat, cough, sore eyes, and runny nose. The characteristic symptom of measles, known as Koplik's spots, appears on the inside of the mouth. Koplik's spots are small white areas that may have bluish-colored centers.
Within three to five days of the onset of symptoms, the skin rash appears. The rash often begins on the face and ... Read more about measlessymptoms
What causes measles?
Measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus of the paramyxovirus family, which infects the lining layer of the back of the throat and nose. You can catch measles through exposure to airborne droplets spread by an infected person when he or she sneezes or coughs. Particles carrying the virus remain infectious for hours, so even touching a door handle or other infected surface can put you ... Read more about measlescauses
How is measles treated?
Although there is no treatment specifically to cure measles, medications to control pain and reduce fever may be given to make the patient more comfortable. Antibiotics may be prescribed if a secondary bacterial infection, such as pneumonia or an ear infection, develops. Patients with measles should be separated from others to avoid exp...

As you read this, the U.S. government owes just a sliver under $14 trillion dollars to various suckers who've lent it money. And it wants to borrow more.
Timothy Geithner warned that a failure to raise the debt limit would mean the government would not be able to make the payments on the current debt in the very near future.
Consult the official record and you'll read that the U.S. has never defaulted on its obligations. That's technically true…but then what about when France's prime minister Charles de Gaulle politely asked the U.S. to hand over the gold it promised was backing the U.S. dollars held by France and other nations?
"No gold for you!" Nixon was heard to say. That's because the U.S. had printed a lot of dollars in order to pay for Lyndon Johnson's social programs and war (among other things). There was no way that the ratio of dollars to gold held by the U.S. was still anywhere near an amount that would support the official $35/oz.
What was the real price of gold with all those extra dollars floating around? Who knows? But when they were allowed to own gold again beginning in 1974 Americans bid gold up to over $887/oz in just six years.
Nixon knew back in 1971 that there was no way the U.S. could make good on the dollar at the official rate. The official rate was a lie. If every yahoo with $35 U.S. were to show up at the gold window then, only a small percentage of them would get their gold. So Nixon "closed the gold window."
But a default by any other name apparently isn't really a default.
And now Mr. Geithner tells us that in order not to default, the U.S. government has to take on more debt.
Remember, there are certain ways government gets purchasing power…
Steal it directly by openly taxing its subjects (on income, payrolls, transactions, imports, exports, etc)…
Steal it sneakily through currency debasement (inflate paper money supply or clip the coins).
Borrow it.
Number three really isn't really income, however. And it often leads to number two.
Geithner just admitted that if the U.S. doesn't borrow more than the current debt ceiling allows, the government wouldn't be able to meet its obligations. When you can't pay for your expenses — including the interest on the debt you already owe — is it really a good idea to borrow more?
Maybe you should cut up the credit card, move to a smaller apartment, sell the car and take public transportation, stop eating out so much…any of these things in any combination would help. Borrowing more to fund your lifestyle doesn't make the list. It just guarantees there will be even more pain to reckon with later.
Borrowing is what got them in this jam. Raising the debt ceiling at this point is about as healthy as having the credit card company extend an individual more credit when he already owes more than he can make in a year.
Some would say not to worry so much. Sure, the national debt is unthinkably high in absolute terms, but as a percentage of GDP the debt isn't as bad as it was right after WWII. And, say, didn't the national debt go to zero briefly under President Jackson?
Today the choices for dealing with the debt are pretty simple…
…They raise income by stealing more in taxes, less money is available for business investment and tax revenues ultimately fall.
…They lower expenditures and the net tax recipients could get violent.
…They default honestly and the dollar falls hard and fast.
…They default sneakily by creating new money to monetize the debt and the dollar falls slowly at first…and then hard and fast.
Or they could just raise the debt ceiling and let the next couple of generations worry about it.
They'll probably just raise the ceiling. They'll put off the day of reckoning. Who wants to contend with currency collapse and hyperinflationary chaos today? Let it be on our children's heads…and that of our children's children.

Pingback: A Debt That Will Never Be Repaid « Defund & Disobey()
I have a web site where I cover stocks under ten dollars so I like to try and remain positive about things. about the article concerning the national dept. believe it or not I think it would be a good thing if moody or standard & poors downgraded the credit rating of the united states this would finally force are law makers to make drastic cuts in the budget and bring spending under control.
I think we all recognize that after a few loud discussions on the Sunday talk shows the debt limits will be raised. It's the American way!
This "extension" works fine at the $2 Trillion level, but not so well on $14-20 trillion. These numbers are too big in the face of falling tax receipts. A default is coming soon. What will trigger the default? Who knows, but it's done and over. The dollar as we have known it will move to the fiat money graveyard. I don't think anyone I know will be the slightest bit surprised or unprepared. We've been reading W&G for years now, nothing shocks us anymore!
"believe it or not I think it would be a good thing if moody or standard & poors downgraded the credit rating of the united states this would finally force are law makers to make drastic cuts in the budget and bring spending under control."
Do you really think that alone could even phase congress? They will simply start printing money faster when nobody will loan it to them. To cut the budget is to make voters back home unhappy, or at least the half that don't pay any taxes. It would be political suicide, ain't gonna happen.
Nothing hurts like the truth.
Excellent article, base in fact. The future of the U.S. financial system looks bleak !
'Default honestly and the dollar falls hard and fast'
I've thought about this one a lot and I'm not sure that's what would actually happen. If the US globally defaulted (is that force majeure?) then it would have NO MORE DEBT! It would still be the superpower, it would still have the currency, and it would be one of the few countries without debt. Being unlikely to default again anytime soon, it's currency would shoot upwards in value.
I don't know this would happen, but considering market perversity, it just might.
An analogy I recent read, I think, sends this message home:
Imagine for a moment that you've chosen to smoke cigarettes all your
life. You've ignored the warnings about them that appear all around
you. Then, eventually, and unfortunately, you get diagnosed with lung
Luckily, you've caught the disease in its very early stages. The doctor presents you with two choices.
First, you can enter chemotherapy. The road to recovery, the doctor tells you, will be harsh. You'll suffer extreme nausea. You'll hardly be able to swallow from the ulcers you develop in your mouth. In short,
you'll go through hell in an attempt to beat the disease. But because you caught the disease after the first symptoms appeared, you have a high chance at a full recovery.
The doctor also offers a second alternative. He's worked out a deal that allows you to rid yourself of the disease instantly. No pain. No suffering. No hell. All you have to do is agree to give the disease to your 2-year-old grandson.
In a few weeks we will see who is the coward, what senator will give the disease to their children and grandchildren in order to save themselves. It's time for a true test of character!
I think that you're forgetting something. Nations don't pay their debts!
If our marketing/partner nations (like China) don't extend us more credit…we won't be able to buy their stuff!
If we can't/don't buy their stuff…their Economy goes under!
I sure that, in some way, our creditors will find a way to "write off" the debt so we can continue to be a customer.
If you think I'm wrong, try to find another nation (outside of the Euro-zone) that has repaid its debts!

Many of Rihanna's fans feel conflicted over her rekindled relationship with Chris Brown. While wanting to give her space and respect her decisions in her personal life, a great many of her supporters have voiced their obvious concern about returning to the man who harmed her four years ago. And reportedly one of those concerned is her good friend and fellow mega-celeb Katy Perry, and now rumors are circulating that the former besties have fallen out!

Kris Humphries Turned Down Kim Kardashian's $10 Million Divorce Settlement Deal
We didn't fully realize until today just how angry Kris Humphries was about whole Kim Kardashian divorce drama. How mad, you ask? Mad enough to turn down $10 million. So yeah, that's pretty mad. According to RadarOnline, Kim offered the Brooklyn Net a $10 million settlement to end the legal stalemate in their divorce. Yes, $10 million. But Kris turned her down, because he's not out for money, he's out for some cold courtroom vengeance.
"After Kim filed for divorce, she offered Kris a $10 million payoff with the agreement that he would not continue to pursue an annulment to their marriage on the grounds of fraud," and insider told the website. An annulment is basically the marriage-equivalent of a "freebie oops" card (that's a thing, right?), which voids a marriage in any spiritual or religious capacity. "He wants to be able to marry in a church again, with a clear conscience, when he finds someone special. Kris is deeply religious and he believes that the only way he can do that is if his marriage to Kim is annulled."
Taylor Swift Gets Blown Off By Ex-Boyfriend Harry Styles During Her Trip To England
It sounds like Taylor Swift's attempt at a reunion with ex-boyfriend Harry Styles was unsuccessful. The love-lorn songstress flew to England earlier this week allegedly for work, but there were loud whispers that the journey was actually to try to win back the heart of the One Direction star, who reportedly dumped her because she was "asexual and wouldn't put out." Charming.
"Taylor was desperate to meet up with Harry in London, but he totally ignored her," a friend close to the two told RadarOnline. "He told her he had too much going on, even though she purposely arranged to stay at a hotel that wasn't too far away from his home." The source went on to add that Harry was a little freaked out by Taylor's intensity, which probably isn't helped by her habit of purchasing real estate near to her suitors. "Harry found Taylor a little too full-on and scary, and he was put off by how serious she was about him after such a short period of time."
Report: Kelly Osbourne Has Been Secretly Engaged To Matthew Mosshart Since Christmas
Kelly Osbourne is getting married! At least according to a report in Us Weekly, that is. And we owe her a long overdue congrats, because apparently she's been engaged to boyfriend Matthew Mosshart since before Christmas! "Kelly is the happiest she's ever been," a source told the magazine today. "Her career is going well, and she's in a healthy relationship with a wonderful guy." A summer wedding is planned in Britain, with friends saying that the two are "really excited." Well let's hope so!
Kelly met the at Kate Moss's wedding to Jamie Hince in July of 2011, and they started dating soon after. She credits her vegan chef beau for her recent 60-pound weight loss! "I love Matthew and we love to work out together – we motivate one another," she said in an interview published in the Daily Mail. "I go on the treadmill every day for half an hour and do two hours of exercise if I have a special event." There's no official word yet from their pair's rep about the plans to wed, and it's worth noting that Kelly wasn't rockin' any kind of new engagement rock on the Golden Globe red carpet last week. But we'll be sure to keep you posted.

Rihanna Gets Dissed By Lena Dunham For Reuniting With Chris Brown, Smoking Weed
Newly-minted Golden Globe winner Lena Dunham made some unfortunate headlines recently following some unkind remarks about her from shock-jock Howard Stern. Luckily that all ended peacefully, but now the multi-talented Girls star is throwing some shade of her own: At pop goddess Rihanna! Oh girl, didn't you read our post about Riri's most vicious Twitter slams? This could be bad news, you guys.
Lena appeared on Alec Baldwin's podcast Here's The Thing (lulz) and admitted that she "used to be really into" Rihanna. But lately she feels that her DGAF attitude has gone a little too far, and worries about the effect that she's having as a role model on her young fans. "I don't want to ever throw stones from my glass house, but I follow her on Instagram and I just think about how many little girls beyond what I could even comprehend are obsessed with Rihanna," Lena explained. "Like you know, she left Barbados, she's had this amazing career, she's won a Grammy. She's talented."
She cites Rihanna rejoining Team Breezy as a major turning point for her. "Then she gets back together with Chris Brown and posts a million pictures of them smoking marijuana together on a bed. And it cracks my heart in half in a way that makes me feel like I'm 95 years old." Many of Ri's Navy are starting to wonder if her "good girl gone bad" shtick isn't just an act, and fear the way she's influencing children who look up to her.
Kim And Kourtney Kardashian Diss Kris Humphries On Letterman, Khloe Fires Back At Paternity Rumors
They've been split for well over a year, but things haven't settled much between Kris Humphries and the Kardashian Klan. His ex-wife Kim and her big sis Kourtney appeared on David Letterman last night to talk about a baby she's having with a dude that's not Kris, and to essentially discuss why he's being a dick. So we imagine Kris probably switched over to Leno.
Kris has been complicating the legal actions to dissolve their marriage because he insists that the relationship was a sham and that Kim only married him to get a television special out of the deal. This sentiment is echoed by many detractors of the famous reality family, but Kourtney offered a particularly good comeback. "I think if she was going to do it for publicity, she'd pick someone that people knew," she shot back to her haters. BOOM! Even Letterman seemed taken aback by the excellent point.
Rihanna Calls Chris Brown "Stupid" And "Not A Man" On Twitter (We Think)
To be honest with you, we're getting to the point where we really think that Rihanna is using her Twitter feed exclusively to mess with us. Oh, and to tweet bikini selfies. But otherwise it's mostly to keep us guessing about the state of her relationship with Chris Brown. Days after accidentally sharing a night club with Breezy's ex Karrueche Tran, something seems to have gone down between the controversial couple, because Rihanna set her Twitter feed on fire with some furious tweets.
"Boys will be boys!!! Cause they can't be men," she wrote this morning, and yesterday she posted a picture on Instagram with text that read "I have to stop saying 'How stupid can you be' I think people are starting to take it as a challenge." A second one soon followed that read "You can have results or excuses not both," with a caption simply saying "Choices." We're not sure what's up, but Riri seems pissed!
More Rumors We Hate: Harry Styles Dumped Taylor Swift Because She's "Asexual And Wouldn't Put Out"
Whoa now, Taylor Swift and Harry Styles are never ever ever getting back together! At least if the rumors that the One Direction heartthrob threw her over because she "didn't put out" enough are true. Damn son, that's pretty cold. If Joe Jonas got that song written about him when he famously broke up with Taylor over a 27-second phone call, Harry's gonna get a full fledged country-pop opera!
According to a report from RadarOnline, the couple known as "Haylor" crashed and burned because they just weren't "sexually incompatible." For example, he apparently wanted to have sex, and she wanted to…talk about antiques? Whatever floats your boat, we guess. "Harry found Taylor a little sexually uninterested," says a friend of the British boyband. "While it was clear she obviously had a thing for Harry, Taylor didn't want to put out as often as he would've liked. Harry is a young boy, with ladies throwing themselves at him and has had a string of relationships with older women. It's no secret he's sexually active and is enjoying his fame at the moment. But Taylor just wasn't up for it as much as he is."
Justin Bieber And Selena Gomez Break Up Again, Maybe This List Of Their 6 Cutest Moments Will Reunite Them
We know one guy who hasn't had a very happy New Year so far: Justin Bieber. The Biebs reportedly split from his long time girlfriend Selena Gomez. If you're getting deja vu, it's not just you. The two broke up back in November following his alleged dalliance with Victoria's Secret Angel Barbara Palvin. They got back together soon after because (let's face it) who could stay mad at that Bieber face? But sources are now saying that this time the bust-up is for real.
Apparently it all went down on December 30th, when the couple were vacationing in Puerta Vallarta, Mexico for the New Years holiday."They had another huge fight, and Selena won't forgive him," an insider close to the pair told Us Weekly. In fact, she stormed out of the villa and flew back home to Los Angeles, leaving poor Biebs without a New Years kiss! We have a feeling that he found someone happy to help out. However, a friend insists that he's understandably blue about his single status. "He's been really down about the breakup," they say, even citing it as the reason for his recent "acting out," which we take to mean "smoking the reefer."
Awww, poor guy. He's a wreck without ya, Selena! Give him another shot. We've assembled a list of your five cutest moments to try and reignite the spark!
6. He Bought An Entire Flower Shop For Her
He apparently had multiple trucks deliver the entire contents of the store in order to "fill her house with flowers." Let's hope she doesn't have an allergy.
Awkward: Rihanna Parties At The Same Nightclub As Chris Brown's Ex, Disses Her On Twitter
You'd think that there would be enough exclusive Hollywood nightspots to make awkward encounters pretty hard to come by. But we guess run-ins do occur, as Chris Brown's ex girlfriend Karrueche Tran can definitely tell you. The model rolled up to the LA nightclub MyStudio on Sunday for a night of fun with her friends, including Christina Milian. But things got significantly less fun when she learned that her love-rival Rihanna was already inside! According to Hollywood Life, Karrueche stayed for only 15 minutes before understandably bouncing, tweeting "What a night." Hmmm, sounds awkward as hell. Let's hope she got her cover charge back at least.
Rihanna responded with a tweet of her own, which doesn't reference Tran by name but definitely seems like a sideswipe. "B—h don't kill my vibe," she captioned an Instagram'd picture with some intense text:
There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. Surround yourself with people who make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down is part of life, getting back up is living.

Community housing has a proven track record in providing good quality housing for households across NSW. The housing services available tend to fall into three categories:
Community housing is good quality, secure, affordable housing for households who are eligible for public housing. This means that that anyone applying for community housing should meet the income criteria and have a housing need. Quite often, households applying for community housing also have other needs that gives them a housing priority.
In addition to general housing, the Community & Private Market Housing Directorate also funds housing for people who are homeless, at risk of becoming homeless and who are in crisis. These can be short-term crisis housing for people who are in immediate crisis or are at great risk of becoming homeless. This may be because of domestic violence, abuse, mental health illnesses or other reasons.
The Community & Private Market Housing Directorate also funds other, medium term transitional housing. This housing is for people who have been in crisis and are ready to move on to more stable accommodation.
If you are in crisis, or know someone who is in crisis and would like some help, please contact your nearest Housing NSW Office. Alternatively, you can contact:
For a lot of people, public and community housing is unnecessary, in the wrong place or an option not available. For these households, renting privately is a suitable housing choice. However, renting privately, particularly for the first time, can be difficult. To help households who wish to rent privately, the Community & Private Market Housing Directorate funds some very useful services.
Rentstart assists people to rent privately, by giving them some financial assistance at the start of their tenancy. To be eligible for Rentstart you have to be eligible for public housing.
Rentstart is administered by Housing NSW. For more information about how to apply and eligibility please contact your local housing office.
The Tenancy Guarantee is a product developed by the Community & Private Market Housing Directorate. It is designed to encourage private sector landlords and estate agents to grant tenancies to people who might otherwise be denied access to the private rental market.
A Tenancy Guarantee provides up to $1,000 (including GST) compensation to landlords/agents over and above the rental bond, for rent arrears and property damage, subject to certain conditions.
A Tenancy Guarantee can help overcome barriers to accessing the private rental market resulting from lack of a tenancy history (e.g. young people, DV victims, new migrants, refugees), a poor tenancy history, or discrimination because of age, race, sexuality, disability, gender or family composition (single parents or large families).
Tenancy Guarantees are currently issued by nine Community Housing Associations. These are:
Operating in Penrith, St Marys, Blue Mountains and the Hawkesbury.
Operating in Fairfield, Liverpool, Campbelltown, Picton and Camden
Operating in Bega, Eden, Merimbula.
Operates nationally
Operating in Nowra, Shoalhaven and St George's Basin
Operates in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie, Gosford, Wyong, Maitland, Port Stephens, Cessnock, Singleton, Scone, Muswellbrook and Broken Hill
Operating in Maclean and Grafton.
Operates in Lismore, Grafton, Tweed Heads
Operating in Albury and Deniliquin
Private Rental Brokerage Service project officers can also issue Tenancy Guarantees to their clients.
Tenancy Guarantees are available to people who:

The two clubs have been in talks over Erik Lamela's imminent move to London, but they also discussed swapping left-backs.

© Copyright 2015 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. -- Those who subscribe to the theory that writing is an effective form of therapy may use Albany author Bill Lightle's latest book, "My Mother's Dream: Baseball with the Bankers," as source material.
In his third book, made available to the public last week, Lightle uses his father's involvement with a semi-pro baseball team in Indiana as a means to explain the concepts of family and friendship as they've been handed down through three generations of Lightle men.
It's a poignant story of another time that offers a window into the soul of a man who searched his and his father's past to understand his and his own sons' present.
"This is my story; this is who I am," Lightle said of the book, released through Mill City Press. "I wanted to tell about my father, about his relationship with his friends and my mother in post-World War II America, and the best way to tell it was through his time with the Bankers.
"For me, this book was all about telling this story. I think it expresses a man's love for his family and his friends. And while it, of course, involves baseball, I think any time we have the opportunity to celebrate those very important qualities, it's a positive for all of us."
Lightle grew up in tiny Gas City, Ind., and he celebrates his time there as batboy/first-hand observer for his father's semi-pro baseball team, the Twin City Bankers, in "My Mother's Dream."
Lightle introduces the easy, 140-page read with the telling line "I will always be that little boy in the dugout," and that sentence is the thread that runs from beginning to end of the book that he said grew from a 2008 visit to his hometown.
"A couple of years ago I went to Indiana to visit family, and Rick Atkinson (one of the primary figures from the book) gave me a Twin City Bankers hat," Lightle said. "That was where the idea to write this book started to take shape.
"That, plus the dream that my mother actually had that I told about at the start of the book, was my inspiration."
In the summer after his father died, Lightle returned to Gas City, to visit the men who had been his father's friends and teammates and to walk on the field where he'd been nurtured. The stories that he heard became the basis for "My Mother's Dream."
"It was a very personal thing to do, and when I was writing the last chapter where I described my father's death, it became very emotional," Lightle said. "I had to put my pen and paper away and just walk away from it for a while."
The author, who moved to Albany when he was 9, worked as a journalist for eight years before he started a teaching career that is in its 22nd year. He was an Albany Herald reporter for six years before working a year each at the Greenville (S.C.) News and the Florida Times Union.
Lightle currently teaches at the South Georgia Achievement Center in Albany, is an adjunct history professor at Albany State University and teaches a leadership class at LaGrange University's satellite campus in Albany.
He has written two other books: "Made or Broken: Football & Survival in the Georgia Woods" from 2004 and "Mill Daddy: The Life & Times of Roy Davis" from last year. All three works are available at his website, www.blightle.com, and at Amazon.com.

Keeping yourself entertained is probably costing you more than it should. In previous posts, we've looked at electronics and bills you pay too much for, so now we are hitting the fun stuff. Check out the details on how you can trim your monthly entertainment budget!
If you pay for a full-price ticket to Hollywood's latest blockbuster, you're paying too much. There are plenty of ways to save on the cinema (and I don't mean by going to a matinee). For starters, be on the lookout for movie voucher deals. At BradsDeals, we're always watching for these, and we pass the info on as soon as we get it. For instance, you might be able to get a voucher for 2 AMC gold tickets for $10. Those are redeemable at any movie at any AMC-brand theater in the country (3D and Imax carry an extra charge). If you can't find any vouchers, another great option is available to Visa Signature Cardholders. You can order buy 1 get 1 free movie tickets from Fandango every Friday of the week. If you don't have a Visa Signature Card, we'd recommend applying for this one.
Another option to save is through your local movie theater's loyalty program. For example, my favorite local theater has movies for $6 after they've been out a few weeks. Every Thursday they email me with the movies that will be available in the next week. I just present my card for any showing (even Friday night), and everyone in my party gets their ticket for $6.
Ready to rock out at a concert or support your favorite team, but wincing at the prices? It is possible to save on your tickets. ScoreBig allows you to buy tickets at up to 60% off the regular price with no extra fees. Plus, BradsDeals almost always has an extra percent-off coupon to apply to your order. Check out our latest offers here.
eReader prices keep dropping, but the eBooks can really add up. How can you save? Check out your local library's website to see if they loan eBooks. Using your library card, you can download eBooks to your Kindle or other compatible device for free just like borrowing a real book. The restriction is that the libraries pay for a digital copy (or a number of copies), but each can only be checked out by one person at a time. That means there may be a waitlist to read the book you want.
If you need something to read while you wait for your eBook from the library, or if you just want to catch up on some classics, check out 40,000 public domain books available in eReader formats at Project Gutenberg. These ebooks are free, legal, and include some truly entertaining literature, like The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Pride and Prejudice, Moby Dick, and A Tale of Two Cities.
Feeding your gaming addiction can be an expensive job. Trim costs by subscribing to Gamefly. The first month is currently free, after which the membership is $15.95 for one game out at a time or $22.95 for 2 out at a time. The benefit here is you can try out a game to see if you like it, or play games that have a limited number of hours of game play without spending $50.
Also, you don't have to pay full price for your Xbox Live membership! We've seen a 12 month membership, normally $59.99, for as low as $34. The best deal we could find at the time of the posting was $46.99, but check this link for other offers that may become available.

Akin Praised, Reviewed Unit of Militia Group He Recently Claimed He Had Nothing to Do With
Todd Akin defended Moore's group and said that the young movement could be an asset to federal law enforcement (Akin said this, by the way, a month after the Oklahoma City bombing).
"There's a lot of potential for good; on the other hand, if you let the thing be infiltrated by a bunch of Skinheads; that would be a problem," he told the Springfield News-Leader, referencing popular perceptions that militia groups were actually fronts for hate groups, like the Ku Klux Klan and neo-Nazis.
Akin also told the News-Leader that he met with Moore and "checked out the unit." Guess he forgot about that five years later, when he told Eric Stern of the Post-Dispatch, that he turned down an invitation to speak at a militia conference because he was uncomfortable with the 1st Missouri Volunteer militia.
"I did not want to speak there," Akin told Stern in 2000. "I didn't want to have any part of it."
Akin's campaign spokesman Rick Tyler resolutely denied that the congressman has or ever had any realtionship with the 1st Missouri Volunteers.
"There's no connection here," Tyler, a former spokesman for Newt Gingrich, said on Wednesday afternoon. "Congressman take lots of meetings with lots of different kinds of groups, at least hundreds, sometimes thousands per year."
When asked if Congressman Akin was ever interested in the militia movement, Tyler said his candidate "has explicitly said that he never wanted anything to do with these people."
This development follows a recent string of revelations about Akin's past connections to fringe groups. Last week the Post-Dispatch revealed that Akin had been arrested four times with a far-right pro-life group that believed in blockading abortion clinics. He was also one of Tim Dreste's very few donors when the controversial activist ran for a seat on a St. Louis County board in the 1990s.

'True Blood' actress bites back at Sarah Palin
By Joshua Fechter : July 28, 2014

Clinton said she refused.

AUSTIN --An actress on HBO's vampire show "True Blood" shot back at Sarah Palin for the former vice presidental candidate's remarks about a recent episode that inflamed conservatives.
Palin slammed the show in an interview with right-wing news outlet Breitbart News after the episode depicted a slaughter at a fictional fundraiser held for U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas. She derided the show's portrayal of Republicans and said she's glad she turned down an offer to appear on the show.
"The brilliant minds of 'True Blood' were brazen enough to ask me to do a cameo on their show, apparently so they could insult a conservative woman in person instead of just all conservative women in general," Palin said. "Their offer wasn't presented in any negative way, perhaps to benefit from a surprise factor after the guest appearance. I turned them down anyway."
"True Blood" actress Kristen Bauer van Straten fired back at Palin at a San Diego Comic Con panel, according to The Wrap.
"She'll weigh in on anything," van Straten said.
The actress, who considers herself an animal rights activist, objected to Palin's pro-hunting stance and referred to her as the "wolf-killer lady."
"It's sweet many, many years later that I've made her angry, I had fun doing it," van Straten said.

On this, the last day of summer (known to some as the end of the bus chick high season), I came across a minor bus/truck fender bender in Pioneer Square. Luckily, the bus was headed to base, so no passengers were displaced–unless, that is, I got there after the riders had already been booted. If they were, I'm sure it only made them stronger. You haven't earned your true bus chick stripes until you've been kicked off a "disabled" bus in the rain.
Bus Chick, Transit Authority
Carla Saulter has been living without a car—and using public transit as her primary form of transportation—since March of 2003. Though she gave up driving because of concerns about the detrimental effects of car culture (pollution, traffic, sprawl), the decision has profoundly and positively changed her life. Some of these positive changes include: enforced exercise, time to read, reduced expenses, and contact with her community on a level that would never have been possible in the isolated bubble of a single-occupancy vehicle.

Blake Lively's new ads for Gucci Première have surfaced, and they look…familiar.
In the Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott-lensed Gucci ads, Lively looks longingly out of a window, and her face is reflected. As the Daily Telegraph points out, in one of her Chanel Mademoiselle ads shot by Karl Lagerfeld, Lively stars into a mirror, which also shows off her flawless reflection.
While the ads seem similar at first, both images do give off different vibes. In the Gucci ads, Lively exudes Old Hollywood glamour sporting Veronica Lake waves in a backless dress, while she gives off a younger feel with tousled strands in the Chanel ads.
So, what do you think — are the ads too much alike? Check out the gallery, and tell us below.
