My name is James Vang and I am Hmong. I am an American Citizen, but my parents were from Laos/Thailand. I am 20 years old and other than powerlifting I like to b-boy(Breakdancing), watch YouTube videos on lifting weights, help other people lift weights, and watch movies. I'm a pretty nice guy with a wonderful girlfriend and I love to help people out.
I currently live in Winder, Georgia and train at three different places; Quest Gym (w/ Sherman), Oconee Gym (w/ Mark Freeman), and at home (Average Hmong Gym).
Most people probably don't know what Hmong is. The Hmong people were a group of people that helped the United States during the Vietnam War as CIA special agents and because of our help we were able to move to America. Each year we have a Hmong New Year, so if you all are interested in knowing more or just seeing my culture, this website has information on when the next new year is held (http://www.hmonggeorgia.org/events.aspx).
I am a full time student as of right now at the University of Georgia, but I do hope to become a personal trainer or strength coach of some type later on, as lifting weights is my passion.
When I have multiple tests coming along, and I know that each training session is vital to my success as a lifter, it does kind of interfere with my lifting. When I lift weights, I think about studying and when I study, I think about lifting weights. But overall, I have been able to adapt to the circumstances and done good in both areas.
I just began competing since Mid-January 2012.
I have always loved lifting weights from the moment my three older brothers got me into lifting weights. Each of them was pretty strong and I didn't want to be the one left out, so I worked out pretty hard in my garage. Of course I didn't squat or dead lift at the time, the only thing I knew how to do was bench press. After 5 years I was going to call it quits, until some of my friends (Chao Yang, John Vang) and my brother (Johnny Vang) convinced me to help them get stronger and from there on out, I started training again. At the time, there was a powerlifting competition at UGA known as the Strongest Dawg, and I was thinking, "Why not enter.", so I started to learn how to dead lift for the first time in my life (Current bench press at the time: 285, Squat: 405). Four months later, I won that competition with a squat of 440; bench of 290, and dead lifted 475. I was recruited into the UGA powerlifting team by Mark Freeman and Jordan Thomas. I been loving powerlifting ever since.
My best equipped numbers were done at the Collegiate Nationals, Squat: 512, Bench: 352, and Dead lifted: 518 (Total=1832). My best raw lifts at my gym was, Squat: 425, bench 330, and dead lifted 500 (Total=1255, of course these lifts were on separate days, not all on the same day).
So far I have earned the title as the Strongest Dawg at UGA and won 1st place at Collegiate Nationals 2012 in the 148 weight class (67.5 kg).
My training philosophy is simple, train the weakest part of your body so you don't have any weakness. I do this by incorporating bodybuilding phases and then strength training phases. One of the weaknesses I have noticed was my weak shoulders, grip, and back. So I would do a bodybuilding routine for like three months building these muscles along with my other body parts. When this is done and I feel like they developed pretty well, I would train for strength. I have always had pretty well success along with my friends with this type of training. Recently I have been training with Mark Freeman and Sherman for my powerlifting competition and they have helped me learned crucial techniques that helped me win Collegiate Nationals.
I have competed in both, but I would like to learn more about equipped.
I would have to say the Dead Lift is my favorite lift after learning how to do it correctly.
I have only just begun, so no one comes to mind yet.
I don't know many lifters, but I would have to say that I am inspired by watching Mark Freeman, Brooks Conway, and Caleb Williams.
I recently entered Collegiate Nationals and did pretty well. It was an equipped competition where I hit my PR's for the first time wearing suits. I was told that I went too low on my squats, but I was still able to get the weights up. During the bench press event, the judge had us hold the bar on my chest a bit longer than usual, so it was safer to go a bit less than we planned. The dead lifts felt good that day, I think I probably could have done more, but I was happy with 518.
The next competition would be in Florida around October.
Well, as soon as I know that I am going to compete in a certain competition, I already begin setting a certain goal for that event. I also like to watch previous competitions and watch team mates who have competed there and go over and over again in my head. Of course I also ask Sherman and Mark for any tips they can give me for that competition.
I don't really have anything special up my sleeve for nutrition. If I am overweight then I just watch what I eat a bit, but I am usually around lifting weight year round.
Preparation for this competition was pretty successful, but one thing I hope to do next time is to get equipment that actually fits my body.
I don't know too many competitions that are happening each year, so if someone recommends a competition and I am able to go then I will probably try to do it.
I hope I'm not being too cocky by saying that my greatest competitor is myself and my teammates. My goal is to always beat my previous total and if I can, keep up with a stronger training partner.
From the moment I began powerlifting, many people has been giving me tips on how to get better but I would say the most important ones were probably to man up on the knee wraps and learn how to keep the bar close to my legs in the dead lifts. Keeping these in mind has upped my lifts and would probably up any beginner's lifts.
I originally wanted to become a nurse to help people, but ever since I began powerlifting and helping many of my friends increase in their lifts, I finally realized that this is what I want to do for the rest of my life. Powerlifting has made me realize what my passion is.
There were a couple of nice people after the lifting that I have been keeping in touch with.
I competed in order to show my friends that the person who they been relying on for information and training tips has not been wasted. I compete to make my family proud and to show that the Hmong people are here in America and we are strong. I compete to win as I represent UGA's powerlifting team and Team Quest.
My favorite memory was in my first powerlifting competition. At the end of a long day of lifting, I was the second to last guy to dead lift. There were five people a head of me and Mark and Sherman were in the back pumping me up. I didn't know how much weight I was going to lift, but when I was told that it was my turn, I heard them say, "And next is James Vang our current leader in the 148". At this moment I saw the bright lights shining in my eyes and Mark and Sherman hitting me to get me ready. I stepped up and gripped that bar deep into the palm of my hands. I told myself if this weight lifts off there is no way it is coming back down. "BOOM" I blasted that weight off the ground rubbing the baby powder off my shin. When I locked out at the top, I felt like the time stopped and this weird sensation overcame my entire being. I slowly dropped the weight showing my control over the weight and walked off as a champion.
I would like to thank my training partners at home who helped me find the will to lift weights again (Chao Yang, John Vang, Fuji Vang, Sue Yang, Nico Yang, Tony Yang, Deng Vue, Alvin Yang) . I would like to thank Mark Freeman for everything he has done. He has seen me as a nobody and helped trained me to become a champion. He also drove me to Baton Rouge and helped me out with all my lifts, which is more than I can ask for. Cody Leatherwood was a huge help too when I was preparing for each of my lifts. Having teammates to help you prepare is a tough job, probably tougher than lifting itself so he was very important to my success. I would also like to thank Sherman, who has fixed all the little things wrong with my techniques and upped all my lifts. I would also like to thank Brooks Conway for coming out that day when the gym was closed just to help me. Without these people I would have not been able to become the man I am today in powerlifting, and I hope that these people will continue to be with me because without them I would have not been as successful.
Watch out for the Hmong guy in the 148 weight class.

'Hemlock Grove' Season 2: Netflix Renews Under New Executive Producer
Kevin Fitzpatrick Published: June 19, 2013
Netflix's Eli Roth-produced original horror series 'Hemlock Grove' may not have debuted to the critical fanfare of its predecessor 'House of Cards,' and certainly not the anticipation of its successor 'Arrested Development' season 4, but the streaming service has officially decided to scare up a second season of the supernatural horror thriller for 2014.
"The worldwide fan response to 'Hemlock Grove' was phenomenal" said Executive Producer Eli Roth in a statement announcing the news. "Netflix members loved the potent combination of sexy monsters, mystery, and the dark family soap opera that ended with a huge twist, leaving audiences worldwide totally shocked. Season One was just a warm up for what we have in store for season two. Get ready to be scared in ways you never expected."
Netflix's 'Hemlock Grove' season 2 will debut 10 all-new episodes (down from 13) in 2014 dditionally, and will also see Charles H. (Chic) Eglee ('The Walking Dead,' 'Dexter') join as an executive producer. "In its first season, Eli, Brian, Lee and the team did an incredible job of introducing viewers to a unique world of memorable characters," said Cindy Holland, Vice President of Original Content at Netflix. "Chic's addition to the show, and his experience on such fan favorites as 'The Shield,' 'The Walking Dead' and 'Dexter,' will heighten the intensity of the mystery that grips Hemlock Grove."
For those unfamiliar with 'Hemlock Grove,' the inaugural 13-episode series follows the brutal murder of a young girl at the Godfrey steel mill, while 17-year-old Gypsy/rumored werewolf Peter Rumancek, along with Godfrey estate heir Roman, decide to find the killer themselves. The series stars Famke Janssen, Lili Taylor, Bill Skarsgard (brother to 'True Blood's' Alexander), Dougray Scott, Penelope Mitchell and Landon Liboiron, and was based on the original novel by Brian McGreevy.
Well, what say you? Was Netflix's 'Hemlock Grove' worth a second season? Where would you like to see Eli Roth's supernatural horror thriller go next? Check out the original trailer below, and give us your thoughts in the comments!

In The Crow: Hack/Slash #1, a soul is brought back… but something is terribly wrong! The resurrected Angeles Cero won't stop killing on a quest for revenge, and the bodies are piling up. Now, slasher hunter Cassie Hack and her monstrous partner Vlad are on the trail of the Crow Killer, wrongly believing themselves in pursuit of a masked murderer they've hunted for years.


Development Plans, Opportunity Area Planning Frameworks and development proposals should contribute to regeneration by tackling spatial inequalities and the environmental, economic and social barriers that affect the lives of people in the area, especially in Strategic and Local Areas for Regeneration.
Boroughs and other stakeholders should develop locally-sensitive policies and initiatives and support development proposals that contribute to the renewal of town centres in Strategic and Local Areas for Regeneration (see Town Centres policies and Annex 1).
There are parts of London where the impacts of inequality and causes of deprivation are particularly concentrated. Based on the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD), many of the city's neighbourhoods lie within the 20 per cent most deprived areas in England. These areas are defined in the London Plan as Strategic Areas for Regeneration. In addition, there are other parts of London where the impacts of inequality are acutely felt, which may not be fully reflected in the IMD; where relevant, these should be identified in Local Plans as Local Areas for Regeneration.
Regeneration can take many forms, and involve changes of different scale and with different impacts, depending on the needs of local communities and the character of the area. Often regeneration will take the form of incremental improvements over a number of years, involving a range of projects and initiatives, such as providing affordable workspace, creating more accessible and welcoming public realm, or investing in training and employment opportunities for local residents. Where proposed, large-scale development in Areas for Regeneration should seek to reduce spatial inequalities.
All stakeholders, communities and individuals have a role to play in tackling poverty, disadvantage, inequality and the causes of deprivation, particularly in places where their impacts are acutely felt. There should be a focus on these areas in strategies, decisions, and bids for funding undertaken by the boroughs, the GLA family and other stakeholders to ensure these areas benefit from investment in strategic infrastructure, social infrastructure, and regeneration initiatives. In order to be effective in improving the lives of those most affected by inequality, regeneration initiatives must be undertaken in collaboration with local communities, involving a broad spectrum of groups and individuals, to develop a shared vision for the area. Successful regeneration requires all stakeholders to operate in a collaborative way, pooling resources and creating partnerships. There should be a shared understanding of how the regeneration area needs to change, and how that change will be secured, managed, embedded within and supported by the community. By taking an integrated, spatial approach to a wide range of issues, Development Plans and Opportunity Area Planning Frameworks have a key role to play in tackling spatial inequalities and the causes of deprivation.
In identifying Local Areas for Regeneration, boroughs should use their local knowledge and that of their communities to identify and understand the particular needs of the area. The individual measures of deprivation that make up the IMD should be used to identify specific areas that are affected by particular issues, and regeneration strategies, investment and the approach taken in Local Plans should be tailored to reflect these. Local Plans should also look closely at the Strategic Areas for Regeneration and the particular issues that affect them and the surrounding areas.
Many of the Opportunity Areas identified in the London Plan intersect with Areas for Regeneration. Where this is the case, Development Plans and Opportunity Area Planning Frameworks should identify the particular needs and character of the area, and identify how investment and development should tackle the specific causes of deprivation that impact on the lives of people in the area, while enriching the qualities of the area that make it unique.
The Areas for Regeneration are home to many established and varied communities, and there is likely to be a strong sense of place, local identity, and character that is reflected in the buildings, streets and spaces in the area, the lives of the people that live there and the activities that take place. Local Plans, Opportunity Area Planning Frameworks, and regeneration strategies should identify, protect and promote the places and spaces that are particularly valued by local communities, including cultural venues, heritage assets, community facilities and social infrastructure, as well as creating new spaces for people to enjoy.
Annex 1 identifies the town centres that are within or intersect with Strategic Areas for Regeneration. Development Plans, Opportunity Area Planning Frameworks, and town centre and regeneration strategies should consider the needs of these town centres and others that are easily accessible from Areas for Regeneration, and set out how town centre renewal and investment will contribute to the regeneration of the area. Town centre strategies and Local Plans should address in detail the particular performance of town centres and their role in providing access to local services and employment opportunities for the Areas for Regeneration.

I've created a 8GB for Swap, 20GB for root and 300GB for /home, so I have honestly no idea what is wrong. I followed some guide to dual boot with Windows 10 and I created from scratch on unused space.
I know this question has been already asked, but my limited knowledge on Ubuntu is too great.
I'm afraid randomly deleting files would only cause me to screw up my Windows installation (been there already).

gparted command as requested

A: You can use the du command to walk the file system and see what is taking space.  The process I use for this is to start at '/' (cd /) and run du -h --max-depth=1.  This will list the space taken by all files and directories in human readable format for the directory you are currently in.  You can then navigate into the largest directories and re-run the command to see the size of their contents.  Depending on what you find taking the space you can then decide what you need to do next.  If its junk than you can just delete the offending files and continue on; if the space consumption is legitimate (you need the files) than you'll have to look at larger partitions as already mentioned in the issue comments.

Newly freed political prisoners at a press conference in Madrid. (AP/Emilio Morenatti)
CPJ Impact
By Lauren Wolfe on July 20, 2010 4:24 PM EDT
News from the Committee to Protect Journalists, July 2010
Cuba begins releasing journalists
For weeks, CPJ staff had been getting hints that Cuba, under a deal brokered by the Catholic Church and Spanish government, would release imprisoned journalists and political dissidents. Some families had been told to buy suits for their jailed loved ones, a sure sign that something was up. After years of painstaking reporting, contact-building and campaigning on Cuba, we were in a great position to move quickly when at last on July 13 the Cuban authorities put six journalists on a plane for Madrid. CPJ Europe Consultant Borja Bergareche was there to welcome the new exiles, the first in what is expected to be a series of releases by the Castro regime. Three more journalists have since been freed. Prior to the releases, CPJ research had identified 21 journalists in Cuban prisons for their independent reporting and commentary. All but one of the journalists had been detained in March 2003, in the massive government crackdown on political dissent and independent journalism that came to be known as the Black Spring.
Imprisoned awardee Tissa free at last
Our 2009 International Press Freedom Awardee from Sri Lanka is a free man. J.S. Tissainayagam, who is known as Tissa, slipped quietly out of Colombo last month. His departure capped nearly two years of intensive advocacy by CPJ and others for the Tamil editor's release. We raised the case with the government during a mission to the island in March. Tissa was met at Dulles Airport by CPJ representative Kamel Labidi, who described him as all smiles and gratitude. Tissa has kept a low profile since arriving in the United States. On May 3, World Press Freedom Day, the government announced that it would grant Tissainayagam a presidential pardon, but six weeks passed before he was handed back his passport. He had been released on bail in January and had lived in seclusion in Sri Lanka until his departure. He was first jailed in March 2008 and eventually indicted under the Prevention of Terrorism Act in August 2008. We hope he will attend our annual benefit in New York in November to receive his award.
Nieman Fellow denied U.S. visa
Hollman Morris, a well known Colombian journalist and TV news producer, has been denied a visa to enter the United States to take up a Nieman Fellowship. CPJ wrote Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urging her to reverse the decision, made under a provision of the Patriot Act, and ensure that Morris can take up his fellowship.
Appeal for help from hospital bed
Ailing Tunisian journalist Fahem Boukadous appealed to the public for help through CPJ from a hospital bed in the Tunisian city of Sousse. Boukadous, who has been sentenced to four years in prison, suffers from acute asthma. Shortly after leaving the hospital, he was arrested. CPJ continues work on the case.
Making the Web safer for journalists
Journalists are increasingly turning to social media to gather and spread news. But useful as these services are, there can often be unfortunate consequences when the intent of the companies involved doesn't match the needs of reporters in the field. The designers of these and many free Internet services are often supportive to the innovative uses, but can be unaware of the consequences of even simple changes to their products or policies.
CPJ's Internet advocacy coordinator, Danny O'Brien, is based in Silicon Valley, and has been speaking to developers big and small about better defending free speech in the early stages of product design. "A lot of individual programmers here want to create code that protects privacy and free speech," O'Brien says, "and with headlines about YouTube removing vital video footage, or Twitter helping in Iran, the companies understand the public impact of getting the balance right before launch, instead of after an incident occurs."
Some of this advocacy takes place behind the scenes, but for the last few months, O'Brien has also been touring the "geek lecture circuit," keynoting at the popular Open Source Bridge conference, and informally answering questions at "hacker spaces" like San Francisco's Noisebridge. It's not just dotcom startups that can help journalists and their readers: media companies can adapt their current websites, too. At the U.K. Guardian's Activate 2010 conference earlier this month, O'Brien spelled out one simple step that any site can take.
"One of my strongest recommendations to both tech and media companies is to offer protected, encrypted versions of all their Web pages (the kind whose address starts with "https", not "http"). It's easier than many developers think, and it has real advantages for journalists and their sources. It makes private communications harder to monitor by government or criminal elements, and makes websites more difficult to censor by state blocks like the Great Firewall of China."
Google has already offered an "https" version of its search engine at https://encrypted.google.com, and now turns on encryption by default for Gmail users. The New York Times and Washington Post also offer encrypted versions of their websites.
If you're interested in having O'Brien speak at your tech or media event, contact CPJ at info@cpj.org. CPJ supporters in the Netherlands can hear his keynote at the open source GUADEC conference on 29th July in The Hague.
Moving into Africa
We're revamping our Africa program in an effort to respond more quickly and effectively to events in a continent where communications are still a challenge. As part of the first phase, our Africa Program Coordinator Tom Rhodes has changed roles. He arrived in Nairobi this month where he will work as our consultant for East Africa. Research associate Mohamed Keita takes on the new role of Africa advocacy coordinator based in New York.
Other highlights from CPJ's advocacy and blog:
Remembering CPJ awardee Pius Njawé who died in a car accident in Virginia this month.
CPJ's Joel Simon live on the "The Kojo Nnamdi Show," to discuss how violence against journalists influences media coverage. Listen here.
Washington representative Frank Smyth at the Global Media Forum in Bonn.
Lauren Wolfe is the director of Women Under Siege, a project on sexualized violence and conflict at the Women's Media Center. While CPJ's senior editor, she wrote the CPJ report, "The Silencing Crime: Sexual Violence and Journalists." Previously, she was a researcher on two New York Times books on the 9/11 attacks.

The Victorian Attorney-General, Martin Pakula, has tabled in parliament the report of the 2015 Review of the Charter of Human Rights. The review was conducted by Michael Brett Young, and took into account over 100 public submissions from individuals and community groups.
The Review also recommends expanding the remedies that VCAT and the courts can provide for breaches of the Charter. It recommends they "should have power to grant any relief or remedy that [they] considers just and appropriate, excluding the power to award damages". The focus should be on practical remedies, such as injunctions, that would improve compliance with Charter rights.
The long report includes a total of 52 recommendations, including strengthening the parliamentary review of bills and making the process more transparent; allowing the Minister to revoke a local council by-law that is incompatible with human rights; and ensuring that allegations of serious human rights breaches by police can be independently investigated.
The Victorian Government has not yet responded to the recommendations.

Q: how to have a ListView of CheckBoxe's in android? I know its a little odd but it will be very useful for my app .
I tried setting the adapter with ArrayList and Array of CheckBoxe's
in both cases codes compiled okay but it doesn't executed in android
I tried these :
Array Attempt :
definitions in the class ,
CheckBox[] listCB ;
CheckBox CB1 , CB2 , CB3 ;
ListView lv ;

overrided onCreate() method :
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    listCB = new CheckBox[2] ;
    CB1 = new CheckBox(null,null);
    CB2 = new CheckBox(null,null);
    CB3 = new CheckBox(null,null);

    CB1.setText("one");
    CB2.setText("two");
    CB3.setText("three");

    listCB[0] = CB1 ;
    listCB[1] = CB2 ;
    listCB[2] = CB3 ;

    lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView) ;

    lv.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<CheckBox>(this , R.layout.listcb , listCB));

}

ArrayList Attempt :
definitions in the class :
ArrayList<CheckBox> listCB ;
CheckBox CB1 , CB2 , CB3 ;
ListView lv ;

overrided onCreate() method :
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
    listCB = new ArrayList<CheckBox>() ;
    CB1 = new CheckBox(null,null);
    CB2 = new CheckBox(null,null);
    CB3 = new CheckBox(null,null);

    CB1.setText("one");
    CB2.setText("two");
    CB3.setText("three");

    listCB.add(CB1) ;
    listCB.add(CB2) ;
    listCB.add(CB3) ;

    lv = (ListView) findViewById(R.id.listView) ;

    lv.setAdapter(new ArrayAdapter<CheckBox>(this , R.layout.listcb , listCB));

}

and the layout which referred to :
    <CheckBox
    xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="fill_parent"
    android:layout_height="fill_parent"
    android:id="@+id/checkBox"
    android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal"
    android:checked="false"
    android:textColor="#ffffffff"
    android:clickable="true">
</CheckBox>

Both of them failed !

A: Of course, it doesn't work! You need specify parent for your checkbox, now your checkboxes just contain in array (for example, as strings or other objects), it is not attached to GUI hierarchy to Android draw and handle it.
I think that better write custom adapter.

A: package com.windrealm.android;

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.List;

Weekend Mailbag: Jim Wyatt Answers Questions From Titans Fans
Jim Wyatt
Senior Writer/Editor
NASHVILLE – On to Week 6.
The Titans leave Music City for Mile High on Saturday, and they'll face the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
It's time to change the subject.
And it's time to start another Titans mailbag…
John Clark from Knoxville, Tennessee
Question: Hey Jim!!! It's me again John Clark retired Navy veteran. First let me say I apologize for putting the blame on Mariota he's only 15 percent of the problem. I still think he holds onto the ball too long but our offense line really has some serious issues. I thought getting Saffold from the Rams was gonna make our O-line tuff to penetrate but so far it's been the complete opposite. I think the other issue that's not getting addressed is our WR's and TE's not getting the separation needed for Marcus to deliver the ball. I seriously feel for him all the criticism he has taken especially from me. I pray coach Vrabel makes some serious adjustments on the offense line and penalties are hurting us and costing us touchdowns. I'm still keeping hope and faith that we can make a playoff push but we must beat the Texans, Colts and Jaguars when we face them as well as win against teams I think we should beat the rest of the season. Honestly I wouldn't be as frustrated as I am if I could seem improvements on the offense side of the ball our defense is playing at its best getting a turnover every game but the offense can't produce any points off of them and our 3rd down performance is horrible. Defense is getting burnt out by the 4th quarter from being on the field too long. Coach Vrabel and Tennessee Titans staff we believe in y'all and this team we support y'all to the fullest please make the minor adjustments and y'all will see major improvements. Titans fan through the ups and downs thick and thin. Titans for life John Clark "FOR THE BOYZ"
Jim: Hey John. Good to hear from you again. Appreciate the feedback and for coming clean. Across the board things definitely need to be better. It's hard to pin the problems on one thing, because it's not one thing. Mariota as 15 percent of the problem is lower than some folks in here have projected, I'll say that. I'm not sure what the real percentage is, but I can 100 percent tell you Marcus knows he needs to play better. I know this: I'm ready for another game.
Michael Mosely from Phillipsburg, New Jersey
Question: I'm going to be in Denver for the upcoming game. Is there going to be a Titan fan party on Saturday night like they did in Atlanta?
Jim: Hey Michael. Well, there's not a Titans sponsored party but the guys with Two-Tone Blue Nation are holding a get-together at Rhein Haus at 1415 Market Street #1706 in Denver, starting at 7:30. So that sounds like a place to start!
Morgan Reynolds from Melbourne, Australia
Question: G'day again Jim! The roller coaster continues but inconsistency is the dominant consistent for our team. A shame the offense couldn't match the defence, even with some pretty outrageous calls going against us. Even for me, as a newcomerr thought Cairo shouldn't have had to make those kicks to keep us in the game, ideally he would have extended leads or made the Bills have to fight harder. With his release, and the return of Succop not allowed for a few more weeks, can you shed any light on how Ryan is going with his injury recovery/rehab? I am hopeful that all signs are good for his eventual return in week 9, but I am just not sure where he is at.
Cheers mate
Jim: G'Day Morgan. I'm with you on Cairo. He let the team down by not doing his job, but the offense let him down by not doing theirs – those drives should have ended with touchdowns, not field goal tries. As far as Succop goes, all indications are he's making good progress. You're right that he's not eligible to return until after Week 8.
Johnathan Rolin from Marseille, France
Question: Hey Mr. Wyatt, I appreciate the voice that you give us fans by answering our questions. Many times they are more verbal processing than questions but you still answer them.
My first question is a simple one. I saw recently that Titans fans are considered the worst in the NFL. Do you think this is true? I have never seen as much animosity towards a team before. I'm frustrated too but most fans are livid now. There is no grace. I've been a Titans fan since they moved to Tennessee so I get it. Oftentimes, I've compared it to a bad relationship. I'm just not sure how to encourage other fans to hang in there. It seems like jumping ship is becoming more popular. Secondly, have you heard anything about the Titans coming back to London? I'd love to see them play. Thanks again for taking the time to hear us out and answer our questions.
Jim: Hey Johnathan. Glad to give fans a voice in here. I appreciate the passion of the fan base, and to see where these questions are coming from. Back-to-back questions from Australia and France show the range of the fireball. I don't know who came up with the stat that Titans fans are the worst in the NFL. I think that's crazy. The Titans have a lot of loyal fans that keep showing up on Sundays no matter what. Hopefully they'll be rewarded with something special in time. As for returning to London, sign me up! That was among my favorite moments covering the team, which dates back to 1999. But I haven't heard anything about a return trip. I didn't hear about last year's trip until days before it was announced, so it's not like I'd get a long advance notice.
Rick Smith from Union, Kentucky
Question: Hey Jim, Thanks for all your work to keep us fans out of town, up to date. Short story, I live 20 miles south of Cincinnati in KY I supported the home town Bengals although my favorite team was the Oilers. Living through the good years with the Bengals in the 80s and the bad (well from then on for the most part) I was ecstatic when the Oilers moved to Nashville. My favorite team in my favorite town and only 4 hours away how perfect! We call Nashville our 2nd home. We are there for the games, the Draft, Uniform unveiling, anything Titans, you get my point. I bashed MM8 a few weeks ago out of frustration, I do not want to comment on each player you already have your share of them. When I leave a game to head back home I listen to the radio has long as I can, I read your mail bags every week I watch the press conferences, The Mike Vrabel Show etc. My concern is this, when I hear "We have to get better" (no kidding) "We have to work harder" (how about working smarter) and when they start a comment with " I Think" instead of I know. This may sound ticky tack but it is comments that are made by losing teams. Bill Belichick may be rude and dry but he does not make up excuses. He will sit a guy if he does not do his job, we run them back out there week after week and point out the good things. They get paid to do good things! it is not a bonus. Do you get paid extra for showing up to work on time? Just once I would like to see Vrabel meet Lewan or Conklin at the sideline after one of their many penalties and get nose to nose with them and sit them for a while. We have won with and without them. I am starting to get a sick feeling like my old Bengal days. I don't even want to drive down there for the LAC game after being silenced by the Bills fans, but I am sure I will. This team has got to get it together and take Titan Up for what it means. These 4 hour drives back home feels like 10 after a loss. We get no respect because we have not earned it. Please Titans get it together!! Thanks for your time Jim and have a great day.
Jim: Appreciate you sharing your story, Rick, and for your loyalty and commitment. Hey, I feel your pain. The first two home games have stunk. I'm not going to waste your time telling you things are going to get better. I can't promise you that, even though I think they will. I also understand fans are tired of hearing it, so it's time to deliver.
Jacob Butcher from Fairfield, Illinois
Question: The offensive line has been a liability and least improved unit on the team. If this trend continues through the next 2-3 games, what are some options for correcting this? It is very disappointing to see most of the pressure coming from Saffold. Do you believe the current line needs more time to play together before any serious measures are taken? Very thankful for your work and for keeping this impatient fan base in the loop.
Jim: Hey Jacob. Overall, the o-line play has been a disappointment. My thinking is it will improve as Nate Davis gets more comfortable at right guard, and as left guard Rodger Saffold and Taylor Lewan get used to playing side-by-side on the left side. If not, then the most realistic option would be to get Dennis Kelly on the field in someone's place. His most natural spot is right tackle, where Jack Conklin plays, but Conklin hasn't been the biggest culprit in my opinion.
Connor Scully from Erie, Pennsylvania
Question: Hi, Jim! Usually there is a lot of negatives after a loss, so I wanted to try to draw on the positives we have seen. Marcus is definitely my favorite player in the game, so I may be biased, but I think he has played very well recently, especially in the hurry up scenarios (still not perfect, but a nice strong start). I also think the defense has been playing mostly great, and Jeffery Simmons is still recovering and can hopefully play this year. The biggest thing I have seen is the offensive line play. Sometimes it looks like they just get bullied (needs to be fixed), but other times it looks like a lack of communication with each other, so hopefully time together will help them. Even with all of the bads, though, we are still only one game out of the division lead (though I would love to leave 9-7 purgatory). My question is where do you think is the biggest issue so far? Thanks, and hopefully you can survive the usual onslaught of negativity this week!
Jim: Hey Connor. Biggest issue imho has been on the oline, where protection hasn't been up to snuff. There have also been too many drops, and I do think the quarterback needs to rise up and make more plays. Yes, he hasn't turned the ball over and he hasn't been the biggest issue by any stretch, but he can play better. The same goes for a lot of guys. The defense has been good, but it's given up too many big plays as well at inopportune times. And the kicking game has hurt – the Titans could be 4-1 if not for misses vs. Indy and Buffalo.
Chris Wardlow from Murfreesboro, Tennessee
Question: First time ever asking a question here, but I was just wondering why does it seem like our offense never lines up in an I formation to give Henry a lead blocker to follow in the backfield? Have we used the I formation any this season? It seemed like it worked pretty well when Stocker was with us and he would line up as a fullback in the I. With Stocker being gone, I feel as if Jonnu could fill in that gap as an occasional fullback really well. I feel as if there's so many things that we can do out of an I formation and a Power I, such as misdirections and etc. Also, with the way our offensive line has been getting bull rushed, wouldn't it be helpful to run more screens to get the defense to ease up on their pass rush? Thus giving the offensive line a better chance at protecting Marcus, which in turn, should give him enough time to progress through all his reads while giving the receivers a chance to run their routes? I feel as I the screen to Jonnu in the Bills game was probably the best offensive play call all game. It took advantage of the defense's aggressiveness for a big gain. Thank you for reading. Titan Up!!!
Jim: Hey Chris. Not making any promises here, but I suspect you might see that some moving forward. In fact, new running back Rod Smith has some experience playing some fullback. Jonnu is another guy who could do it with more regularity.
David Siler from Thousand Oaks, California
Question: So I was just reading on NFL.com they rank the Titans offensive line as 4th worst in the league. Do the players ever read those articles and take it personally?
Jim: Hey David. I don't think the players are motivated to prove anyone wrong based on the press clippings. As they say, "the film don't lie," and that's what players are trying to fix. Statistically the Titans are ranked 27th out of 32 teams in total offense, so there's that…
Chris Gunter from Nashville, Tennessee
Question: Hi Jim. It Chris can you plz try to get some new wide receiver plz like Dez Bryant plz? Also, can you try to get Jay ajayi plz" Thank you. Have a nice day.
Jim: Chris, this has to be a joke…
Gary Loyd from Thompsons Station, Tennessee
Question: Hi Jim! First time asking a question. I am a huge fan of the Titans and was wondering if the team has considered playing Dennis Kelly at right tackle if Conklin continues to struggle? Thanks!
Jim: Hey Gary. I don't think anything is imminent, but as I mentioned earlier, it's certainly an option.
Ludwig Kerlegand from Mexico City, Mexico
Question: hi, who will be the new kicker for the team and when Succop will be ready to play? tanks!!
Jim: Hola Ludwig. Cody Parkey is the new kicker – he was signed this week to take the place of Cairo Santos. As for Succop, the earliest he could return would be for Week 9 at Carolina.
Tyler Harrell from Carterville, Illinois
Question: Tyler here from Carterville, Illinois (Not anywhere near Chicago). Huge Titan fan and I appreciate all that you do as well with providing news on the team. I have a whole lot of thoughts and opinions about this team (positive I should add) but I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Titans fans we are still in this and there's still a lot of football to be played so hang in there. My one question is can we get an update on Jeffery Simmons please? Have a nice day Jim and Thank you! TitanUP!!!!
Jim: Hi Tyler. Well, the news on Simmons is he's making great progress and he's eligible to return to the practice field as early as Monday. There's a scenario he could even play in the team's Week 7 contest against the Chargers. A lot will depend on how Simmons does in his first practice week since his college days at Mississippi State. But there's a reason to be optimistic, even if he doesn't play at the end of his first week back.
Scooter Kelly from Ocala, Florida
Question: First I want to say that I live right around the corner from Jonnu's high school lol. My question is off topic. Can you and Mike Keith grow a mustache like Vrabel? Maybe for "NoShaveNov"?
Jim: Hey Scooter. This is a great suggestion … for Mike. I couldn't pull off a mustache, but I'm betting Mike Keith could. I'll try and find the right time to broach the topic. It's a hairy subject, ya know? ….
