From The Huffington Post:
Rosa Parks, following her refusal to move to the back of a bus in Montgomery, Ala.
By Keith Rushing
Posted: 10/4/11 01:16 PM ET
Last week, a federal court's decision allowed parts of a law to go into effect that essentially requires police to racially profile people while criminalizing undocumented migrants for being without immigration documents. The law and the decision upholding it shows that Alabama — in passing the harshest anti-immigration law in the nation — is still mired in its racist, segregationist past.
The message Alabama sent to brown people by passing this law — especially those thought to be migrants — is a simple one: Get out of Alabama. We don't want your kind here.
In the 1950s and early 1960s, Alabama was a place of intense racial hatred. Montgomery, Ala., central to the Civil Rights Movement, is the city where, in 1955, Rosa Parks was arrested after sitting in the whites-only section of a city bus, leading to a massive and ultimately successful boycott of the city's public bus system. A year later, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned segregation on public buses nationwide finding that the Alabama law allowing seating according to skin color was unconstitutional.
Despite that success, much of Alabama's white residents were determined to defend their segregated way of life through brutal violence.
In 1961, some 200 white men in Anniston, Ala attacked the Freedom Riders, a racially integrated group of activists on a bus trip through the South. The bus was firebombed and the activists were beaten with pipes and bats.
Alabama is also the state where four little black girls were killed in 1963 in the bombing of the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church.
After years of people putting their lives on the line and going to jail and the help of federal civil rights legislation, Alabama ended legalized oppression of African Americans that barred them from voting, from attending better resourced all-white schools and from many jobs that had been reserved for whites.
But a cursory look at the state's history shows how Alabama was dragged kicking and screaming into accepting desegregation. It took enormous courage, self-sacrifice and the power of the federal government to force change. But by passing Alabama's harshest anti-immigration law, the state has shown that while Jim Crow laws may not exist anymore, the spirit of Jim Crow, which is defined by white supremacy, is alive and well.

This 1993 box-office smash partly adheres to the 1960s TV series on which it is based and partly goes off on several tangents of its own. Harrison Ford stars as Dr. Richard Kimble, convicted of murdering his wife. While being transferred to prison by bus, Kimble is involved in a spectacular bus-train collision (one of the best of its kind ever filmed). Surviving the disaster, Kimble escapes, vowing to track down the elusive professional criminal whom he holds responsible for the murder. Dogging the fugitive every foot of the way is U.S. marshal Sam Gerard (an Oscar-winning turn by Tommy Lee Jones), who announces his intention to search "every whorehouse, doghouse, and outhouse" to bring Kimble to justice. Unlike his dour TV-series counterpart Barry Morse, Jones plays the role with a sardonic sense of humor: when a cornered Kimble screams, "I didn't kill my wife," Gerard shrugs and famously replies, "I don't care." Once the premise has been established, scripters Jeb Stuart and David Twohy and director Andrew Davis pull off several audacious plot twists, ranging from Kimble's rendezvous with a sympathetic lab technician to a jaw-dropping dive into a huge waterfall. The second half of the film offers one surprise after another (including the true identity of the murderer), brilliantly avoiding the letdown that plagues many movie adaptations of old TV series. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
Batman Collection - 4 Film Favorites
Includes - Batman (1989), MPAA Rating: PG-13 Batman Returns (1992), MPAA Rating: PG-13 Batman Forever (1995), MPAA Rating: PG-13 Batman & Robin (1997), MPAA Rating: PG-13 Batman Behind the black cowl, Gotham City superhero Batman is really millionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton), who turned to crimefighting after his parents were brutally murdered before his eyes. The only person to share Wayne's secret is faithful butler Alfred (Michael Gough). The principal villain in Batman is The Joker (Jack Nicholson) who'd been mob torpedo Jack Napier before he was horribly disfigured in a vat of acid. The Joker's plan to destroy Batman and gain control of Gotham City is manifold. First he distributes a line of booby-trapped cosmetics, then he goes on a destruction spree in the Gotham Art Museum while the music of Prince blasts away in the background, and finally he orchestrates an all-out campaign to win the hearts and minds of the Gothamites, hoping to turn them against the Cowled One. Meanwhile, reporter Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) becomes the love of Batman's life-which of course plays right into the Joker's hands. Photographed by Roger Pratt, designed by Anton Furst, and scored by Tim Burton's favorite composer Danny Elfman, Batman was a monstrous box-office hit, making $100 million in the first ten days of release--$82,800,000 in North America alone. Incidentally, Billy Dee Williams' comparatively small role as DA Harvey Dent was originally designed to set up the sequel, wherein Dent was to convert into master criminal Two-Face; but by the time the producers got around to that character in 1995's Batman Forever, Two-Face was played by Tommy Lee Jones. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Batman Returns In this first sequel to 1989's Batman, the Caped Crusader (Michael Keaton) is up against the Penguin (Danny DeVito), the hideously deformed scion of a wealthy Gotham City family. The Penguin plots with evil businessman Max Schreck (Christopher Walken) to become mayor and then turn Gotham into a cathedral of crime. Upon overhearing these plans, Schreck's mousy secretary Selena Kyle (Michelle Pfeiffer) is tossed from a high-rise window by her boss. Rescued by a covey of kittens, Selena transforms into the leather-clad Catwoman. In this guise, she teams with the Penguin and Schreck to divvy up their ill-gotten gains and help discredit Batman-but she also has her own scores to settle. Paul "Pee-Wee Herman" Reubens, Vincent Schiavelli and Jan Hooks play significant bits, while Pat Hingle and Michael Gough make returns as, respectively, Commissioner Gordon and Alfred the Butler. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide Batman Forever Director Joel Schumacher inherited the Batman franchise from Tim Burton and began steering it in the campier direction of the Sixties television show with this third installment. First-time Batman/Bruce Wayne (Val Kilmer), in his only outing as the Caped Crusader, is effectively brooding as he ponders strange dreams about his parents' death and escapes his own near-demise at the hands of Two-Face (Tommy Lee Jones), a former district attorney driven insane and turned into a master criminal when a gangster throws acid in his face. Meanwhile, as sexy psychologist Chase Meridian (Nicole Kidman) tries to analyze and seduce both Bruce Wayne and Batman, Wayne Enterprises employee Edward Nygma (Jim Carrey) reacts badly to getting fired, using his self-invented mind-energy device to transform into the super-intelligent Riddler. The Riddler teams up with Two-Face to bring down Batman and drain the minds of Gotham City residents with his device, while Batman gets some much-needed help in the form of circus performer Dick Grayson (Chris O'Donnell), out for vengeance after being orphaned by Two-Face. ~ Don Kaye, All Movie Guide Batman & Robin This was the third follow-up to Tim Burton's Batman (1989), the original revisionist look at the Gotham City legend, as well as the second in the Batman series directed by J

Room was well presented and homely with an assortment of games and literature. Small food prep area with fridge/microwave. Warm and comfortable we enjoyed... a 2 night break over new year. The pool is a nice touch and is worth booking for private swimming. Located within walking distance of Hadrians wall but just a short drive from haltwhistle. Julie was engaging and knowledgeable of the local attractions and places to eat. The room however has no real cooking facilities other than a microwave and would benefit from a hob of some sort to allow longer stays cost effective (evening meals are not yet offered) All in all a nice little retreat and well worth a stay. by a Hotels.com guest on 01/08/13

It seems her view may be supported by a majority of American Catholics.
According to a survey of American Catholics by the Pew Research Center taken after Pope Benedict announced his resignation, 58% of congregants favored allowing priests to marry. Even so, the figures showed the divisive nature of the debate: Of those who attend Mass regularly, only 46% supported marriage for priests while 66% of those who attended less regularly supported marriage.
One former seminarian, who did not want to be named because he is still active in the church and not authorized to speak publicly, told CNN the vow of chastity was one of the chief reasons he dropped out of the vocation.
"I had strong issues with celibacy and, at that time, wanted the freedom to get married and didn't know why there could be Lutheran pastors that led perfectly normal family lives and also ran their congregations.
"I certainly understood the celibate side to priesthood and had a certain respect for it -- strangely I still do -- but I just felt that you should be given options."
He said the diocesan college he attended in the United States -- a type of minor seminary -- was designed to prepare students for their commitments at major seminaries if they decided to continue their studies.
"They were obviously making changes from the middle of the century -- in the '30s, '40s and '50s - when the seminaries were packed full, but probably after the whole peace revolution and the sexual revolution guys obviously started having a lot of second thoughts," he said.
He said he saw little evidence of the kind of sexual abuses that have recently come to light and derailed the Catholic Church.
"When you're young, growing up in a big, serious Catholic family - and I went to a Catholic grade school, I was essentially raised, socialized and educated by nuns and priests - that has a very deep impact especially if they're good role models.
"I never had any sleazy nuns or priests when I was growing up, at least none that I knew about," he said. "When you've got such good role models, both nuns and priests, who are celibate, that makes a big mark on you."

Dissolutions of Marriage
Vital statistics data have long been Missouri's primary source of health information. Since 1949, the Department of Health and Senior Services has been the official state registrar for dissolution of marriage records (MO Revised Statute, Chapter 193). This long history of collection and recording makes vital statistics the most complete and probably the most accurate of all the sources for Missouri health data. In recent years, the Department of Health and Senior Services has worked to improve the accuracy of vital statistics data and to automate processing of vital records at the original source.
Dissolution of marriage data document some of the social characteristics of a population.

Ten years as a customer, never a delinquent payment, and just spent 1.5 hours with three reps this morning dealing with this issue. Their solution, $10 off my monthly bill. No thanks. Shame on Comcast for treating its customers like a check instead of a person. Goodbye Comcast, hello AT&T.

Wulf wrote:Still waiting and getting more angry each day. I've been watch HBO Go thru my PC just to limit the use of your app! I can cancel anytime since, I'm a 30+ year customer. I need to start seeing some action from these discussions if you wish to keep this customer! I recently changed my phone service from it's 15+ year contract do I need to do the same for Comcast?
Unfortunately, you do. The CEOs at companies like this have a short-term financial perspective that centers around stuffing their pockets. They could care less about what their customers want, which definitely isn't the same rehashed On-Demand content. Besides, most of them who run companies into the ground still get a pretty sweet $everance.
I was so excited when HBOGo was finally released on Xbox that I immediately downloaded it as soon as it came out. At first, I thought that maybe they didn't have Comcast listed as a mistake, so I patiently waited for a couple days to see if there would be any update to the list. Unfortunately it seems as though I'll be waiting much longer to see any support. My contract ends next month and don't think for a second that I'll hesitate switching to another provider. For the record, I have Comcast internet, phone, and cable, all three have been nothing but a headache the last few months. It'll make it so much easier to say goodbye with this going on.
i agree completely. hbo go far surpasses the hbo on demand service in every way. and this does not even go to the fact that xbox and comcast both agreed to launch a horribly buggy app for the xbox. it took 3 days for me to be able to log in and when i finally could, "the server was down."
seriously thinking of switching services to directv.

I am just voicing my opinion like all you other comcast/xfinity customers about hbo go on the xbox. Your decision on blocking is very bad I am thinking of droping your service and going to another provider if you dont allow this service.
They are also blocking HBO Go through Roku too. So now I have two devices that can't get HBO Go because Comcast doesn't want it's customers to have choice.
Free the Internet!!!

That is all you get every time you try to talk to one of the reps. Instead of just saying that they just don't have the correct information at this time they waste your time and leave you feeling empty.
03-31-2012 10:12 PM - edited 03-31-2012 10:14 PM
Nicely done Comcast. Charge everyone close to $200.00 a month for cable and internet and then block a streaming service that should come as part of our subscription to HBO. Your Xfinity app is no substitute, the selection is worse than the B movies available on Netflix streaming.
Keep on driving your customers away. You may not realize it, but many people in their 20s and 30s are dumping cable TV in droves since Amazon, Netflix, and Hulu provide a better selection than the 800 channels of junk you put out. If HBO GO isn't avaiable through the XBOX within the next 2 months, I too will be joining that group.
Incredibly frustrated with this. No excuse for poor service and high prices. Unblock HBO Go immediately.
I am also pretty bummed to find out that Comcast isn't supporting HBOGo through the 360. I just signed up for HBO specifically for this purpose, and am now kicking myself for not downloading the app first (and of course, find that Comcast is not on the list of providers) I sure hope they can get this straightened out soon... might be time to check out FIOS!

Switched to AT&T today. They'll be out next week. Looking forward to having features I will actually use, starting with HBO Go on Xbox. Awful customer service did me in today. Sick of dealing with people who don't care.
I have been contacting all the tech websites about this to see if they will do a story about it. The HBO Go Xbox got some good press so they moght want to follow up.
Unlock HBO Go!!!
I was a Verizon Fios customer for a long period of time. I was extremely excited for the fios service and internet. People complained about it alot but I never once had a problem. They always met my needs (except for the occassional router drop which only happened two times) and gave me an experience unmatched.
The sad day came when my Fiance and I found out we were moving to a location in a few months that only allowed comcast. Needless to say we went ahead and switched everything over last week as to not have to worry about it come move time.
I will also add that for months and months and months i have been waiting for the hbo go app on my xbox. Since they first announced it I could not wait. They continuoulsy pushed the date back and I continually waited patiently. I hate watching videos on my computer i bought a $900 HD tv to use it. I mostly use my computer for music and news. Although I will say I also love having the iheartradio app on the xbox as well.
When i switched I thought great the hbo go app will be released before April 1st. No break in the wait everything will work out great. The day my service was hooked up was the day the Xfinity app and hbo go app were released. I was so excited to get my back catalog experience and drive finally fulfilled until the faithful moment I realized Xfinity was not one of the providers on it. I immediately came to this forum and for the past few days have been following all the posts.
Heres the deal, I will make a solid promise that I will stick with my four local network channels that I get through My tv's built in digital convertor and Hulu and Netflix with a lame clearwire internet service if this problem is not fixed. Your set top box browser is outdated, your dvr manager has already failed me, your program guide is extremely unsavory to say the least, and your xfinity tv iphone app is okay at best. With Verizon I could go into my dvr manager through the app with yours i cannot. Your channel guide has about 3 or 4 of the same channel in HD throughout it (maybe to seem like you have more channels) but your HD line up is skinny compared to other providers who keep it extremely loaded.
Sorry to rant on my already unhappy service throughout this thread. I will keep your service if by the time I move which is June the hbo go app on the xbox is showing comcast as a provider. If not I am going to have to say goodbye to this short lived relationship.
Another unhappy customer.
Completely unacceptable. Comcast, if you can't provide access to HBO go, at least provide the same functionality through the Xfinity app. This is ridiculous.
Good God guys, I was just as astonished to find you are not supporting HBO GO on the Xbox as everyone else here! Brian Roberts needs to stand up and make a command decision to make this available NOW!!! I am sure everyone is like me that wants it for Game of Thrones tomorrow... I am giving you guys until tomorrow night to either make it available or to release a statement that you will have it available by next week or I am dropping my tv service for Dish Network (dish already installed just need to reactivate) Qwest hi-speed is also looking better by the minute... I have paid you guys $170 a month for years and you're still getting your cut from the HBO service but you are going to prohibit the exclusive app access??? God save you if HBO decides to offer their service a la carte in the future, they considered it in 2010 and I think with the outcry from fans of what you are doing to us today that it will help motivate that decision once again...
The balls in your court, Comcast/Xfinity time to IMPRESS ME!!!
well they took down my post that i had up this mourning bout me talking to dish net work for those of you that didnt see it they have a package that give you free hd for life free dvr that works in all rooms and it only about 160 for 200 plus channels. but the big kicker is that you can access hbo go on your xbox. i dont understand how a company could do this to paying customers and force you to download their app if you want to watch hbo on your xbox. why cut on the xbox if i got the same things on my cable box. what are they thinking its kind of unconstitutional to force people into a third party against there will comcast. how do you treat people like this i have been a paying customer for about five years and i hate satilites but if the satilite is not working i can always put on my xbox and watch hbo on it!

That's an interesting idea, but I'm not sure what to complain about. HBOGO is an added service and thus far, Comcast has simply decided not to add the service. I see a lot of folks saying Comcast is "blocking" HBOGO, but the simple truth is that Comcast and HBO don't have an agreement to offer HBOGO to Comcast customers. I'm not sure if this is something that the FCC would regulate or not. Perhaps if you take the angle that Comcast is unfairly limiting competition by not allowing competing services?
Yep, thanks for the links I have saved them incase warranted action is needed.
I am not sure if the net neutrality law apply but that is what the FCC can decide. One can also file a formal complaint with the FCC but it costs $200. I might have to go that route.

Comcast's exclusion of HBOGO on Xbox is unfair to customers who pay for HBO. Comcast is going against its policy of net neutrality by forcing its customers to go through its own app for advertising revenue, instead of allowing them to freely access HBOGO, a service for which customers pay in subscribing to HBO.
Comcast is clearly limiting how its customers access HBO content, even though they pay to access unlimited HBO content through HBOGO.
Comcast is blocking it becuase they allow Apple to access HBO Go through Comcast.
what do you mean there block xbox live?
Blocking XBOXLIVE alltogather would land comcast in front of a congressional comittee. Can you imagine how many parents with screeming kids would be calling in.
They blocked XBox live from using HBO Go.
Hey Comcast Reps. Been a few days. Let's sit down and have a little talk about this whole HBOGo thing. Grab a cuppa, I'll hold on until you get back.
First, let me say I don't blame you. You're a customer service representative. I've been there. The only thing you're allowed to say is what the boys and girls in the power suits tell you to say. At this point, though, it's clear the "discussions" line is…well…just a line. We've talked to Roku users who got the same response in November with no end result. We've heard HBO imply it's a load. We've seen Comcast not respond to the exposure of the issue in the industry bible, Variety. If it wasn't a platitude, we'd be seeing Comcast falling all over itself to give you a new script, to assuage the fears and onslaught. It hasn't happened, and my time in corporate America has taught me that generally means we're getting a polite version of "shut up and go away" from your executives.
So…let me try to explain the position here.
We're consumers, customers who chose Comcast over competitors, and chose HBO as a premium service. While that doesn't, and shouldn't, give us access to every level of corporate thought, it does give us the right to have an open and honest answer to our concerns regarding what is perceived to be a significant lack of customer consideration on behalf of Comcast. It means we expect, and for our money deserve, to know the actuality of what is going on over there in regards to our concerns. Not getting a line of "corporate speak" that could mean anything from "We're working on the problem and trying to find an amenable solution, and HBOGo will definitely be available on these devices if we can reach one" to "HBO is asking us to do it, and we're saying no." Which is the range now encompassed by the official company line we've been getting.
What's happening here is a basic reminder: Your company serves at the leisure of consumers who ALLOW your company to serve. In return for our consideration in allowing Comcast into our homes, into our lives, into our families, and into our bank accounts, we expect a modicum of respect and forthrightness. Failure to provide this is not only disrespectful to us as consumers that chose your service, but downright insulting to our collective intelligence as people, a base assumption made by your executives that "those mouth-breathers" will swallow the bitter pill and deal with it. Don't you, and don't your bosses, think we deserve more as people who, when given the choice, chose Comcast? Don't you think it would be obvious that we expect to be treated as valuable consumers and not mere monetary units on the company projection charts at a stockholder's meeting?
Your company won't see an immediate impact of these decisions and platitudes, these outright lies and disrespectful responses. Some of the people threatening to disconnect will certainly forget about it when their contracts run out. Unfortunately…we'll also tell our friends about it. We'll tweet, Facebook, blog, and otherwise generally complain. We'll point to the double-speak and meaningless statements, saying how all we got for our money was the same service a competitor could provide with a healthy side-helping of disrespect and belittling condescension from your executives. Others will notice, that market share your company hopes to expand into, and they won't sign up. Or they'll cancel their service contracts. Or they'll decide to advance the cord-cutting trend.
Times have changed since the 90's, the time period Comcast seems to be stuck in. We're no longer consumers tethered to your services. Television is a luxury that can be replaced, internet can be had with phone service from the local company. We've stuck with you, remained loyal customers and friends and invited you to stick with us. We've welcomed your programming and service when we didn't have to, even as times became lean and it became more of a luxury than ever before. We promoted your services, and crowed about our provider…and we got nothing but platitudes and disrespect in return when we asked for a real answer. It's simply not acceptable, and I think you, who are on the front lines of this issue, know that more than any of the stuffed shirts above you.
I know you're with us. I've seen your posts, I've seen your desire to help. I know you'd tell us more if you could, even if it was just the simple truth Comcast does not now, nor at any time in the foreseeable future, plan to offer HBOGo access on the Xbox, Roku, or SamsungTV.
So why don't you pass this on up the line, and see if they'll let you return the respect, consideration, and loyalty that we've shown to your company for all this time?
I'm waiting with bated breath.
Unacceptable behavior from a company I've poured thousands and thousands of dollars into over the past 6 years. If you do not allow HBO Go on Xbox Live I will be canceling all of my family's services and moving to a provider who isn't such a proprietary a-hole.
As somebody who has had comcast when it was still Adelphia, I will be switching to U-verse as soon as I possibly can. I am away at college and was so thrilled to finally have a convenient way to use hbogo and ondemand. Much to my surprise I cant use either! If only I subscribed to literally any other major TV service provider I would be able to use hbogo now. This is in addition to the new Samsung TV we got with hbogo that Xfinity doesnt support. My family has 2 comcast accounts for 2 homes and at least 5 boxes in each-I'm sure AT&T will be thrilled to get our business. I can watch hbogo on my cell phone but not on my xbox which has the app. A large majority of the early users of xfinity on demand would be college students who don't get to choose their service provider. So even if I wanted to watch certain episodes a day later than hbogo with a much smaller selection, I can't do that. I think Xfinity is begging us to switch to u-verse or fios.
thanks for the info I think we will be switching as well half price really??
I just got off the phone with a Comcast rep who told me that they will be supporting the HBO Go app on XBOX 360 by later today....
I'm not sure if he just wanted to get rid of me or if that's the truth but I guess we'll see. He said he just went and asked his manager and that's what he was told to say.
If it's not working by the end of the month I'm definitely switching to AT&T. All of my friends already have and love if, I honestly don't know why I've stuck around this long. I guess sometimes you just need something like this to show you how bad a company really is.

In my experiance comcast thinks that devices like Roku and PS3 and XBOX are a SMALL NICHE market.
I pounded them for years to get into the game console market. I told them how awsome Netflix was and how simple and versatile it is. All i got back was I wanna put Netflix outa business. I tried to tell them about all the media center customers there were. People who DONT want all these boxes in the home. They want the Media Center Experiance. I tried to tell them customers want customizable guides listing ONLY the channels they wanted without all the other channels they dont like. I can understand this attitude to a point. Sure If i were in there position i would want to make a product people want more and just as easy and versatile.
However it seems other SMARTER companies have beaten them to it and much like the record industry Comcast doesnt know what to do. If i were comcast I would offer folks a yearly plan for just HBO or STARZ or Showtime. Heck I just payed i think like 130 bucks for an entire year of MLB.TV. I never got to watch the Phillies LIVE anyway so it works awsome for me. I get every game 90 Minutes after it ends locally or live on away games. I subscribe through ZUNE to the shows i watch. I pay to OWN the shows in HD.
I Dropped cable LONG ago. However if Comcast did Offer a yearly Sub to HBO and HBO GO separately without the need for a BOX I would subscribe....
You hear that down there at Market Street in Philadelphia? You guys are missing the boat here.
Trust me folks unless there are MILLIONS of people on facebook and twitter complaining Comcast wont do anything till they have found a way to doit with out loosing absolute control over who sees what and how.

Dear Comcast, ComcastJoe and every board admin that might get to read this
We the subscribers are tired to be treated as a number and are tired of your empty promises as a company to provide a service that we have long since been expecting and patiently waiting for. The release of HBO Go on the 360 and the XFinity app were a grand opportunity for you as a company to provide great service to your customers and start changing the stigma that this is a corporation out to rob their customers for every dime they can however, how you handled this situation was very poorly and that is a modest description of the issue.
I have talked to many representatives and spent 2 hours daily trying to work with your teams to get these issues resolved and honestly this is just ridiculous and absurd the amount of trouble your customers have to go through to get the level of service you proudly advertise on your commercials but rarely offer. I even went to the extent to talk to the Corporate Escalations team to get some light on when will we see HBO Go come through for Xbox users and the answer I received was that there were no plans for this in the near future. I understand that you are afraid of losing revenue (I don't see how you would lose it) by extending this service to your customers however; this would in reality expand customer relations and satisfaction (you sometimes have to give to receive however, at this point Comcast only takes). What is worse and is under your immediate control is the artificial limitation that restrict the customers that pay for premium internet customers that do not want to have the 250GB cap from having access to any of these On Demand services. If I can get them through my iPad and iPhone why can't I use the Xbox app, and when was that communicated to us as customers that we would face these problems? The only solution offered at this point is adding an additional basic internet service to my bill at my expense to address the issue that you as a corporation have created, to top it off you are not willing to provide any form of credit to offset the additional cost that you are creating because of your artificial limitation.
Now I know you call these items features however, these are features that are part of the package offerings and the lack of availability of these offerings do constitute a breach of contract and allow your subscribers to detach from your service without ETF's, sadly not a lot of people are aware of this.
Subscribers, here is the number for the Corporate Escalations 651-493-5900 team, might be regional but these are folks above the standard call center people that don't have call scripts, these are the folks that we should really be directing our frustration and lack of satisfaction specially since as of Friday afternoon according to the rep that took my call this was the first call they had received regarding this issue (which I find impossible given the traction in the forums). Given that they claim that they haven't heard our demands I would suggest we let them know how they are affecting their customers and how unsatisfied we are with these situations so they can't claim that they are not aware of the issues. Next step is a complaint to the FCC!
So ComcastJoe or ComcastEric, no response for any posts since Friday morning. Nothing for us? Not even the copy and paste "Comcast and HBO are in discussions to increase HBOGO access" line anymore? Can't even dignify us petty customers with a response? Come on now, even the CEO of Netflix (a company who you have a deal with) is asking where the HBO GO is, and not even a statement? We're still waiting.
All we can say at this point is that Comcast and HBO are still in discussions and we'll let you know when there's more to report. Your patience is appreciated while we work to come to a resolution that we hope will be to the satisfaction of our customers.
Eric, does this include Roku and Xbox?
I don't have any information yet as to what will be included but will let you know as soon as I know more.
If you go to DirectTV via their website and talk to someone in a chat, they will let you lock in the price for the entire two years of your contract. You can get their xtra package for two whole years at 61.99 per month.
And you can use HBO Go on your Xbox. I will most likely be making that switch myself.
Just make sure you do the order online, as that is where they will give you the 2 year deal instead of 1.
Comcast should lose tons of subscribers for pulling this with the HBO Go app.

Sega secures new "arcade game machines" trademarks
Sega recently filed two software trademarks in the U.S. and Europe called Ringedge, Ringwide and a third, which is a mysterious logo with rings.
Both Ringedge and Ringwide have been trademarked for "stand alone video game machines, and arcade game machines with built-in screens" according to Siliconera.
Maybe this means we will start seeing more coin-operated machines at our local grocery stores again. Maybe.

Hydration station
25 May 2013 - 8:49pm
Hydration station
I'll never forget back in the fall of 1999, when our staff of directors got to vote on whether to take a step no other park had dared to try.
Free soft drinks.
I remember like it was yesterday, because it was a dramatic moment. (For me, anyway.)
Right before we voted, Will made sure we all understood: "This is for keeps. If we do this, we can't ever take it back."
Inside, I did a happy dance. Knowing we wouldn't pull the plug a few years after offering such an amazing perk put me at ease.
The vote, as I recall, was unanimous. And the room was very quiet.
The next month, at our annual theme park trade show, lots of park CEOs got in Will's face and asked with great emphasis, "Are you NUTS?!"
That was our Will.
Like a fox.
A year later at that same expo, Will was given an award for what amounted to the industry's "best new idea."
That's not to say we haven't tweaked around on the program from year to year.
First we added more diet soft drinks. Then Gatorade. And this year a yummy no-calorie peachy green tea.
Here's the full offering you'll find around the parks:
- Pepsi
- Caffeine-Free Diet Pepsi
- Mountain Dew
- Diet Mountain Dew
- Caffeine-Free Root Beer
- Orange Crush
- Pink Lemonade
- Caffeine-Free Sierra Mist
- Dr Pepper*
- Diet Dr Pepper
- Fruit Punch Gatorade
- Orange Gatorade
- Diet Peach Green Tea
- Water
*A little punctuation trivia: Dr Pepper does not have a period after the "Dr"; really.
Additionally, we have brewed tea (sweet and unsweet) at Kringle's Kafé, Alamo, and Plymouth Rock Café plus coffee at Kringle's Kafé and Mrs. Klaus' Kitchen.
And what is our most popular beverage? That would be ... Gatorade.
Please stay hydrated this summer - and don't forget to use our free sunscreen. We want you to be safe, comfortable, and happy during your visit.
What about free coffee? Gotta love the free coffee!
Where is Brisk Sweet tea? We
Where is Brisk Sweet tea? We did not see it at any of the stations we went to last weekend. Looked to us like it had been replaced with the diet peach green. I'll be so excited if I just missed it by going to the wrong stations :)
We are traveling to your park in late July and I cannot tell you what a neat concept this whole "free beverage" thing is. Kudos to all of you. Who wants a park full of thirsty kids and adults that are trying so hard not to spend the typical outrageous prices just for a cold sip. We recently experienced this in Florida and it just makes everyone grouchy. Cannot wait to experience Holiday World for the first time. Great Service!
Free Drinks ROCK
The free soft drinks is such a bonus!! I was very impressed on my visit last summer. I just wonder about all the waste the cups generate. Are they biodegradable? Looking forward to our visit this weekend!!!

7. Waiting For A Train |
8. Loan Me A Dime |
9. Sweet Release |
"Boz Scaggs" is another candidate for the greatest overlooked, unjustly forgotten album of the classic rock era. It wasn't overlooked in its own day. Back when FM radio was "free form" and could play 10 minute-long cuts, the amazing "Loan Me a Dime," a delicately soulful blues wail that evolves into a monstrous Allman guitar workout, was a staple, especially at night. But the whole album is as good as that climactic moment. "I'll Be Long Gone," which Tracey Nelson also memorably covered, is an emotional inspiration. There are many other highlights--"Look What I Got" has the emotional directness of the Band; "Sweet Release" is heavenly soul. The album is sequenced beautifully; it is almost flawless.
A lot of fans of this album like to bemoan the fact that Boz Scaggs seemed to "go commercial" in later years, especially with "Silk Degrees." I think this is the wrong way to look at his career. This album is so complete, so rich, and so thoroughly occupies the territory, what else could he have done with it? Scaggs obviously loves the whole wide expanse of soul, blues and R & B, and feels no need to settle into a single groove within that broad category. So, with each album, he explores a sound as thoroughly, creatively and thoughtfully as he can, and then, on his subsequent album, moves on to explore another aspect.
Read more ›The opening track is a beauitully crafted version of the Jimmy Rogers classic, "Waiting For A Train", that sets the tone for what's to come. "Now Your Gone" features Duane Allman on dobro, in a virtuoso performance on an instrument he played far too seldom. By most accounts "Loan Me A Dime" is the albums standout. Perhaps that's because it was featured in the first Duane Allman anthology. No doubt this is an inspired performance by all and showcases Duane's incomprable prowess on electric slide guitar.
On a personel note, I first listened to this album on the day I learned of Duane's passing and felt compelled to play it over and over again. I remember holding the album cover and looking at that great picture of Duane, standing .... and covering up his genitles, wearing nothing but those outrageous mutton chops and a huge smile. Along with the album cover, I had tickets in hand for an Allman Brothers concert at Carnegie Hall on Thanksgiving Day 1971, (it was the first concert performed by the ABB without Duane). This wonderful album by Boz Scaggs is further testment to the enormous talent that was Duane Allman. There's hidden beauty here and another side of Duane and Boz, many have never heard. Like two good ole' country boys sittin' back with some great musicians pickin' and singin' just for the fun of it.
That's a shame, because this is Boz at his best - soulful, expressive, at times joyous and playful, at other times blue to the point of tears. "Loan Me a Dime" is the centerpiece of the album. Boz' voice, the Muscle Shoals rhythm section, and Duane Allman's no-holds-barred guitar combine to make the song soar and cry. "Finding Her" is a quiet, romantic contrast to the mournful pyrotechnics of "Loan Me a Dime", it's a little gem that gives Duane a chance to swoop and soar (turn the volume up at the end to hear his trademark "twitter"). "Waiting for a Train" is a lovely tribute to Jimmy Rodgers, Boz sings it with a woeful, resigned tone while Duane inserts little dobro fills and echoes; Barry Beckett does a nice little saloon-piano break in the middle.
The rest of the songs are good to excellent. No "filler" and not a "clinker" in the bunch, they're all worth listening to.
Don't pass this CD up when browsing the racks or surfing thru this web site. If you were listening to FM radio during the era when this came out, you'll be nodding your head and flashing back as you hear each song. If you weren't, this CD will give you a sense of what was being played in those days.
P. S. If you have the Duane Allman Anthology Vol 1 CD, you HAVE to get this CD.

Just curious. Anybody out there interested in the Middle Ages? From King Arthur to the Templars to the Wars of the Roses, any interest? I'll start thing out by saying that the Middle Ages have long fascinated me, and that after mistakenly reading a book about Richard III when I thought I was getting a book about Richard II got me hooked on the whole Wars of the Roses thing, and turned me into a staunch Ricardian. So much so, that I am a "card carrying" member of the American branch of the Richard III Society (even though I secretly love Shakespeare's play, especially Olivier's film of it! I also read a lot about research into the search for the "real" King Arthur, whether he was one many or an amalgam of many. So, anybody else like this era? |

Spent years reading medieval and Renaissance English history. That was my major field of interest til I made a left turn at a sign that said Pea Ridge next left. I have read several books on War of the Roses, Actually Queen Maud is my favorite historical person. Then Eleanor, then Elizabeth the first. Spend years and money on clothing to go to Renaissance Faire here in Southern California where the orginal one started in the 60's . I just gave my niece some of the clothing as I don't go anymore, too much time spent going to reenactments now for Civil War. I have shelves of books on the period . Love Shakespeare too and love the histories although I know they are written for a Tudor Queen. Susan |

A Knight's Tale? Ugh. LOL...Not one of my favorites. Browner, yes, I've seen Lion in Winter many times. One of my all time favorites. Have you seen Becket? Peter O'Toole reprises the role of Henry II, and Richard Burton is Thomas Becket. I agree that Arthur was, in all likelihood, a combination of mythic/legendary characters as well as a real person (or two...or three). As far as "Hollywood" goes, I think the two best Arthurian films are Excalibur, for the mythic side of things, and King Arthur, for at least an attempt at some historical accuracy, although some events in the movie are just a bit too far-fetched even for me to believe, and I love the movie! As for King Alfred? Bernard Cornwell's got a great series going about Alfred and his struggles against the Danes. I've read the first three books and expect to get the fourth (latest) in the series for my birthday later this week. |

Yep, a lot exaggerated in the movies. With my job, I live, breath and eat CW history, so I love to catch the discussions going on. It was nice to hear about my first history love though, however brief it might be. Not too many people I run into day to day like talking English history that far back. It usually stops at the book "Cousins War" for most. |

There are so many mistakes in Bravehart and don't even get me started on Knight's Tale. lol . Henry II was an interesting period in English history. I have seen the play and the movie verison of Lion in Winter . Eleanor was an amazing woman. Medieval history has been my interest since college. Most of my history classes were in European history. It is a very interesting period of history . Violent and Brutral at times. But amazing people. One of my favorite books is by Eileen Powers called Medieval People a book about several people who stand out in the time period. Alison Weir also has some interesting books on the Little Princes , Eleanor and Elizabeth 1. Fast interesting reads are the Uppity Women series Uppy Women in the Middle Ages is one of many. Susan |

wonderful kj. Thank you! Haven't heard of that series. Will look into that quickly!!! You are right. Burton was a great Beckett. I know even that was some exaggerated because they now think Beckett was actually Norman, but it is a great story anyway. I am so excited about the series you mentioned. It is strange that the only English King to be called Great is so little known today! |

Becket is a great movie. Not totally accurate but still good. I love the musical Camelot too , I first saw it as a student production some of my friends were in in College then I have seen it several times, plus the movie. Love Excalibur too. I have read both fiction and history of the periods. I read the Brother Cadefel series, and the a mystery series about a medieval nun who is related to Chaucer . One of my favorite fiction series starts with There Be Dragons by Sharon Kay Penman. Actually that was the first in the series when I read it , but she wrote prequels later. She also wrote two mysteries with Eleanor as a main character . I mostly read nonfiction about the War of the Roses , and Elizabeth 1. Susan |

Like those books too. I think I have read them all including her mysteries. I have the Brother Cadefel series on hand but have not read them yet. I Like reading books on Elizabeth and the War of the Roses too. How do you think the recent movies on Elizabeth held up? 2 other movies I wonder if you liked? Anne of the Thousand Days and A Man for all Seasons? |

As much as I am consumed with CW history, I've never been able to have just one interest. Medieval history has long been a passion of mine, as well as Ancient Egyptian history. Akhenaten, Tutankhamen and the Eighteenth Dynasty, anyone? I love the Brother Cadfael series, as well as the Sister Fidelma books. Sharon Kay Penman is a favorite author of mine as well. I got introduced to her through her first book, about Richard III, called The Sunne in Splendour. Excellent book, well researched, and very well written. That it gives a sympathetic portrayal of Richard makes it just that much better, IMHO. |

I might have to give the Cornwell books a try as I've only really read Sharpe (I gave up on Nat Starbuck after the first volume). It might be a good entry to the time as the medieval world was so different to ours. For example, medieval dynastic politics does my head in! I was reading a book on the power struggles during the Wars of the Roses and was having to constantly check back to the extensive family trees to understand quite why marrying so-and-so might have been advantageous.
