i came here find a quote and meet other like
I'm female, single from the United States and made my book on 24th November 2012.
I haven't bookmarked any quotes at the moment.
I haven't bookmarked any quotes at the moment.
Immature love says: I love you because I need you. Mature love says: I need you because I love you.
To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.
Love's greatest gift is its ability to make everything it touches sacred.
Modern man is frantically trying to earn enough to buy things he's too busy to enjoy.
The highest activity a human being can attain is learning for understanding, because to understand is to be free.
There is nothing that wastes the body like worry, and one who has any faith in God should be ashamed to worry about anything whatsoever.

first off i want to say this thread is aimed at no one on fearnet!
my question is what are your pet peeves with like minded horrorheads?
for example: i hate it when people bang on about Lucio Fulci like they are related to him but have only seen the beyond or zombi2
& i get annoyed with people refering to Asian cinema titles who always say for example ringu/ju-on .... them 2 examples dont annoy me BUT when people say rinne or gin gwai ETC it does because i am english & would rather say the english title for the film! i think people who do this bad habbit are trying to impress BUT it doesnt impress me!
also i dont like people talking about a insainly abstract horror films in the mannor that suggests everyone should know what they are on about ......... it would be for example like if i started banging on about "a teenage hooker became a killing machine" then acting suprised no one has seen it
i also dislike the Argento army who seen suspiria/inferno then bang on about being Argento fans (like with Lucio) then havent seen his other works
am not bitching at all, just wondering if anyone else has peeves like this?

A week ago I was in a pizza place in Baltimore, and I saw two young women at the table near me looking at pictures on their iPhone.
Perfect, I thought. They're preoccupied. They won't notice me sketching them.
I deployed the Moleskine watercolor book and did a very quick pencil lay-in with a #2 pencil. Then I pulled out two Niji brush pens, one with black ink and one with water, letting everything blur together wet-into-wet.
Halfway through, one of them looked up, a little alarmed that I was gazing so intently.
This question has come up before: What do you do now? Pretend you weren't looking? Fold up your book? Stare at something else? That would only make them feel weirder.
Instead, I plucked up the nerve and I marched right over to their table and said, "I hope you don't mind. I'm trying to learn to sketch, and I was drawing your picture." I showed them the half-finished drawing, and even though it looked pretty unpromising, they were immediately interested and glad to cooperate. I told them they didn't have to hold still or pose or anything--just go back to whatever they were doing.
When I finished, I showed them the results and they got a big kick out of it, and they wanted to put it on their Facebook page. Once I told them what I was doing, the awkwardness disappeared. They were happy to be drawn.

Cognitive Therapy of Depression
Aaron T. Beck, A. John Rush, Brian F. Shaw, and Gary Emery
See related items for this product
Aaron Beck voted one of the 10 Most Influential Psychotherapists by Psychotherapy Networker readers!
This bestselling, classic work offers a definitive presentation of the theory and practice of cognitive therapy for depression. Aaron T. Beck and his associates set forth their seminal argument that depression arises from a "cognitive triad" of errors and from the idiosyncratic way that one infers, recollects, and generalizes. From the initial interview to termination, many helpful case examples demonstrate how cognitive-behavioral interventions can loosen the grip of "depressogenic" thoughts and assumptions. Guidance is provided for working with individuals and groups to address the full range of problems that patients face, including suicidal ideation and possible relapse.

Is she still going to skate at the NHK Trophy? Hope she can come back from her disapointing performance at worlds last year.
Is she still going to skate at the NHK Trophy? Hope she can come back from her disapointing performance at worlds last year.
She was in attendance at part of Skate Canada in Windsor and told someone who spoke to her that she would be at the NHK. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Can't skate but love to watch
hmm, I wonder what she was doing there....(was she simply a spectator?)
Also a quick drive from the suburbs where Detroit SC is:
That drive is nothing compared to what she used to face when she lived and studied back home in the Bowling Green/Toledo, Ohio area.
If an international competition is in town, and her coach/skater friends were there competing, then I'd be more surprised to hear that she wasn't there watching (either cheering on her friends, or sizing up the competition).
Renewed Czisny ready to return to ice in Omaha
Some comments on this interview were posted here: http://www.fsuniverse.net/forum/show...=1#post3784781
I assume Czisny will skate in the Detroit Skating Club's "Ice Champions Revue" (pre-Nationals send-off show), scheduled for Saturday, January 12 at 6 pm.

Alissa is skating at the Fox Valley Invitational in Appleton Wisconsin this Friday (short) and Sat (long). This is her nationals warmup. Only one other senior skater.
Last edited by MarciajsR; 01-09-2013 at 03:25 AM. Reason: spelling
That was a very nice interview on icenetwork. Loved her confidence and how she put her feelings out there about her struggles. What a classy lady. I still remember being at 4CC in 2012, sitting quietly at the top of the section I was in and all of a sudden Alissa silently came and sat down in the seats in front of me to watch some skating. I was stunned at how lovely she was in person and I was just too intimidated at the time to bother her even though she smiled at me in such a sweet way. After the skating was over, two young ones came up to her for autographs and she was so sweet to them. I haven't had the chance to go to live skating events as often as I would like to and every time it amazes me seeing the skaters in person. They are like celebrities to me even though I know most are approachable and appreciative of fan support. Even though I didn't talk to her, I love the memory of seeing Alissa up close and remembering her lovely smile. I wish her all the best in the coming months and hope she can find her redemption. Good luck, Alissa!
Alissa is the embodiment of the REALITY of what so many skaters experience in careers. Ups. Downs. Recovery. Relapse. Life is a journey, and I route the journeymen/persons.
All the best to the sportspeople with passion and commitment.
So glad to hear she will be competing. And doing a warmup competition. This is what skaters should be doing, not just showing up at nationals or worlds (memories of Sasha). Very smart.
Last i saw of her she was great. You've never met a more sincere gracious woman. I would urge you all to watch some of your favorite skaters live if you can. I can pretty much guarantee, that when they have a bad day you wont be tough on them. THEY WORK SO HARD! Their families sacrifice so much. I wish the best for her.
Even if she doesn't make Worlds / 4CCs this season, I still wish she would skate decently for herself. She is such a lovely skater - but one that is probably not meant to be competitive on the elite level and can probably best highlight her strengths in show skating.
I look forward to seeing her on TV at the US Natls and sincerely hope she will be at Worlds. She is a lovely skater.
I am just so shocked at how it does not look like she's been away.

|Tribe Picks Up Sweep In Wild Finish
WILMINGTON, North Carolina - Junior forward Tim Rusthoven swished the second of two free throws with 0.4 seconds on the clock to lift William & Mary past UNCW, 73-72, in a dramatic Colonial Athletic Association men's basketball finish Wednesday night at Trask Coliseum.
The surging Tribe swept the regular season series between the two teams to improve to 13-15 overall and 7-10 in the CAA. The Seahawks dropped their third straight and five games in six outings to fall to 10-19 and 5-12.
Rusthoven was one of three Tribe players with 17 points on the night. Junior guard Brandon Britt and sophomore guard Marcus Thornton each matched Rusthoven's team-high total and junior guard Julian Boatner chipped in 11 points.
Senior forward Keith Rendleman recorded his eighth consecutive double-double and his 19th of the season with 24 points and 11 rebounds to pace three Seahawks in double figures. Sophomore guard Freddie Jackson scored a career-high 16 points and junior guard Chris Dixon had 14 for UNCW.
"I'm disappointed that we came up short for our seniors," said third-year UNCW Head Coach Buzz Peterson. "It would have been nice to get the win for them. It was a game of runs. We felt good about being ahead five points at the half, but they stepped it up and Thornton and Britt have been playing very well lately."
On "Senior Night" at Trask Coliseum, the Tribe appeared to have the game in hand and led, 72-66, when Britt converted a pair of free throws with just 16 seconds remaining.
However, Rendleman drained just his sixth three-pointer of the season with 9.5 seconds left and after Thornton missed the front end of a bonus situation with 8.2 seconds on the clock, junior guard Tanner Milson banged in a triple from the left corner with 1.9 ticks showing.
The floppy-haired Rusthoven, however, slipped behind the Seahawk defense and was fouled while attempting the game-winning shot near the bucket at the opposite end of the floor. The Winfield, Ill., product clanked the first attempt, but swished the second and another desperation three-point attempt by Rendleman went wide of the basket as time expired.
W&M rallied from a 39-34 halftime deficit by attacking UNCW's zone and making the Seahawks pay down the stretch. With Thornton directing traffic, the Tribe scored 13 of the first 16 points of the second half to grab control. Britt had a pair of triples in the spurt and Matt Rum's trifecta from the right wing gave W&M a 47-42 lead at 15:35.
UNCW then outscored W&M, 11-3, over the next 5:36 to take a 53-50 edge. Rendleman sank the first of two free throws and the Seahawks led by three points until the two teams starting trading buckets to set up the wild finish.
Rendleman's second dunk of the game with 1:08 on the clock sliced W&M's lead to 68-66, but the Seahawks were forced to foul Tony Shaver's club and used valuable minutes getting the Tribe into the bonus situation. W&M finally reached the one-and-one threshold with 27 seconds left when Thornton made his free throws to extend the margin to 72-66.
The Tribe came out firing and grabbed an 18-15 lead at the second media timeout of the first half by connecting on eight of its first 11 shots. Five different W&M players scored in the opening minutes as the Tribe set the tone early.
No more than four points separated the two teams in the early going until the Tribe used a 14-3 spurt midway through the half to build a 10-point cushion. Thornton, who did not attempt a field goal in the first 10:38 of the contest, scored six straight points to start the run and his conventional three-point play with 4:52 left staked the Tribe to a 34-24 margin.
The Seahawks came roaring back, however, to score the final 15 points of the first half while holding W&M scoreless over the final 4:52 of the period. Jackson was the catalyst for UNCW, scoring the first seven points in the rally, and making all four of his field goal attempts in the first period en route to 11 points.
Both teams wound up shooting better than 50 percent in the first half. UNCW torched the nets for 62.5 percent on 15-of-24 from the field and W&M made 50 percent on 13-of-16 shots.
GAME NOTES: The Seahawks lead the all-time series by a 40-21 margin...UNCW stands 20-10 against W&M at Trask Coliseum....W&M has won five of its last six games...UNCW wound up shooting 53.8 percent on the night on 28-of-52 field goals...Rendleman went 9-of-13 from the floor and had four blocks and three steals in his final home appearance...There were 16 lead changes in the contest...Rendleman now has 1,492 points and 1,045 rebounds in 122 career appearances...Dixon lead the Seahawks with five assists...Each team had 14 turnovers...W&M made 6-of-8 from deep in the second half...The Tribe made 12-of-15 free throws...UNCW lost its second straight home game and finished 9-5 at Trask Coliseum this season...It was UNCW's second straight one-point loss at home.

Sprint Booster® Power Converter, Throttle Response For Porsche®
- Plug N' Play Performance!
- Three Different Performance Settings
- Available For Manual And Triptronic Transmissions
- 2-year Limited Manufacturer's Warranty
Sprint Booster modifies the signal between the accelerator pedal module and the electronic throttle body. This modified signal forces the throttle body to open 'more' than the stock signal at a given pedal position. In effect, the idle-to-full-throttle pedal travel is reduced. This makes your car 'feel' more powerful because a given pedal input produces greater throttle opening. This is especially evident in the low to mid rpm range where most cars spend their time on the street.

There's gotta be a good joke in here somewhere.
MarbitChow wrote:Please note that Veil (being a low-level spell) is not intended to be used to conceal wounds. It's Bogroll hiding as Parson.
I know that illusionists are typically given a lot of flexibility, which is why we play-test. All spells are only able to do what they say, and no more. Hiya, for example, cannot be used to disarm someone by blasting the weapon out of their hand, and Veil can't make it appear as if the wounds are healed.
It sounds like having illusionary versions of spells could be very useful to you, though, so I'm open to adding an additional skill tree to the Foolamancy structure, where you can purchase a spell that mimics a number of predefined spells from other schools. Spells that stun or calm a target (making him *think* he's acting when he's really standing still) might also be a possibility. Since Foolamancy is your school, please feel free to suggest alterations to it that you think would make it more enjoyable.
The comic has established that foolamancy isn't as effective if the changes being made are observed.

And if so, how am I to make the enemy ever believe that a dozen-odd battle-weary and tattered spearmen are actually a fresh host of elite knights? If I can change the appearance of a unit's nature, does that not include it's state of health? If I can make them appear stronger, tougher, more dangerous, why not healthier as well?
With Foolamancy, I change the appearance of things to deceive, misdirect, and confuse my foe. Now, the question to ask is this: does veiling a unit as an unwounded version of itself not satisfy these criteria? But more importantly for our case, does it do so to too great an extent for a level one spell?

League of Women Voters Hosts Affordable Care Act Panel
The new online health insurance exchanges are prompting a lot of questions among potential users, so various community organizations have been hosting informational sessions to try to clear things up. The League of Women Voters is one of those organizations. But questions posed by the audience had less to do with enrolling, and more to do with politics and policy.
[League of Women Voters members listen as Anne Packham, Carl Patten Jr., and Kim Streit field questions from Orlando Sentinel health reporter Marni Jameson]
The Orange County League of Women Voters routinely hosts luncheons focusing on hot topics- and certainly the hot topic for October is the roll out of the federal government's website Healthcare.gov. A panel of experts was on hand to answers questions about how the online health insurance exchanges work. One person did ask the panel to explain Navigators- those are workers specially trained to help people enroll. But the majority of the questions were a bit more political- things like, why is Obamacare viewed as socialism? And how are Navigators getting around Republican roadblocks? Co-President Michelle Levy says there may have been few questions about coverage because most League of Women Voter members are already covered.
"I have to say that these are political questions, but it has become a political issue, so I'm not surprised that there were some questions that were political. I am surprised that nobody asked about the website, and those issues and those problems," she says.
Levy says the League of Woman voters is concerned about Florida's decision to turn down Federal dollars to expand Medicaid coverage and it is continuing to encourage the Governor to call a special session to readdress the issue.

I'd recommend Gorecki's Symphony No 3. It's a bit melancholy,
borders on depressing at times, but it's also very moving.
My disclaimer for it's not for everyone.
Time is the best teacher. Unfortunately it kills all its students.

Damn you all, damn you all to hell.......

Damn you all! - ATC
I was doing some searching on classical music and ran accross this thread....read Micah's treatise....probably one of the most informative posts in the Club Polk archives.
I'm going to throw out a few discs that you should own:
I've got a few different versions of The Lark Ascending but Marriner has this one cold....I have it on LP and it's superior.
Maybe you like opera...maybe you think you don't. Listen to this though and you'll see what all the hubub about Pavarotti is/was. Nessun Dorma is one of my hifi highlights...
Wagner....ok, I'm not a HUGE Wagner fan. I understand why people do...but, generally, I'm not one of them. However, I DO like the Ride of the Valkyries....and if you really want to hear it, you got to get the Sheffield LP. Leinsdorf and the LA Philharmonic....
I plan for the future. - F1Nut

If my classical music collection were to burn up in a fire, which 5 would I replace first?
Ravel, The Complete Piano Music, Robert Casadesus
Chopin, Poetry of the Piano, Ivan Moravec (complete Nocturnes, Ballades, & Preludes)
Vivaldi, Concertos for Diverse Instruments, I Solisti di Zagreb
Prokofiev, Romeo and Juliet Ballet MusicPhilharmonia Orchestra
Dvorak, Symphony #9 "New World" New York Philharmonic, Bernstein conducting
Then I would check Micah Cohen's list and work from there.
(Nah, I would just start hitting the thrift stores again and buying whatever looked interesting.)
Jimbo...I like that...if my collection were to burn up...I would replace:
1. Same as you - Dvorak 9th conducted by Bernstein. Love the upbeat tempo of the third movement.
2. Brahms Requiem - Conducted by James Levine - Chicago Symphony (Grammy award winner) 2nd movement is a true dirge, and Kathleen Battle does the second greatest Brahams Requiem Soprano solo I have ever heard.
3. Beethoven Missa Solemnis - Both Beethoven and I agree this is his greatest ever composition. The recording is tough - Sometimes the period instruments with Gardiner, sometimes - for sentimental reasons, the Bernstein recording.
4. Beethoven 9th - Conducted by Maazel and the NYP. My favorite recording of this wonderful piece!
5. Verdi's Requiem - Robert Shaw and Atlanta Symphony Orchestra and Chorus - Grammy award winner, with America's greatest choral conductor.

Beethoven- Complete Symphonies (George Szell - Cleveland Orchestra)
Bartok- Concerto for Orchestra, Music for Strings, Percussion and Celeste (Leonard Bernstein - NY Philharmonic)
2001: A Space Odyssey Soundtrack for the Gyorgy Lygeti pieces and the Blue Danube
As much as I love fine recording quality with lush textures, high drama, and ultra-wide dynamics and staging, I have to say that for me the musical performance is more important. I'll gladly give up some sound quality if it's in exchange for a performance that touches, triggers or churns my emotions. I have an HDCD reference recording of Firebird/Rite of Spring that sounds incredible, putting me right there in the room, but the music just doesn't move me the way the performance does with the recording of Stravinsky conducting the pieces.
Great Thread! I'm glad it has the sticky:)

The BluRay player will up-convert standard def DVD's but it can usually do a slightly better job than the TV does because it has access to the digital data on the disk. But I warn you: once you get used to HD TV channels and BluRay disks - it is a painful transition to watch standard def DVD's any more. Even with a up-converting BluRay player. It's not the players or cables fault - standard def is 1940's video technology.
Has anyone ever heard The Planets by Holst. Mars, Bringer of War is almost like heavy metal.
I really rediscovered an interest in classical music when I upgraded my Polk speakers and when I started getting into SACD's.
So far my top classical SACD's are
Massanet - Melodies
Beethoven - Symphonies 1 and 5 (Paavo Jarvi - Conductor)
Multi channel on this makes a difference
Bizet/Grieg - Carmen Suites, Pier Gynt Suite
Arrangements fit well together, great sound
Mozart - Flute Concertos, Symphony # 4 (Jupiter)
Sibelius - The Sound of Sibelius (Swan of Tuonela, Finlandia)
Vivaldi - Four Seasons
Various - Baroque Music for the Brass and Organ
Not strictly classical but a somewhat Jazzy version of Bach:
Best of Play Bach.
I was hoping for CD's but better and I found it.
Front - Polk LSiM 705, Center - Polk LSiM 704c, Rear - Polk LSi 7
Subwoofer - Epik Legend
Receiver (as Preamp) - Sony STR-DA3400 ES
Amplifier - Outlaw 7125
Television - 58" Samsung Plasma PN58B860
Blu Ray - OPPO BDP 83
I may be a purist, but I've found the classical SACD listings a bit on the low quality side. Perhaps great recording, and and technology, but I want to hear the BIG orchestras and the BIG conductors. I want Bernstein, von Karajan, etc. I saw a few Solti recordings - Cleveland orchestra I believe. I am not sure buying a classical sacd with the South Dakota Philharmonic conducted my George's dad will do it for me. That said, does anyone have recommendations of SACD's that may fill my need. I prefer symphonic works, and large choral works, and song cycles by high quality singers.
Any comments on the Solti recordings?
Thanks, and great thread!
EDIT: Also, prefer romantic era music, but will go back as far as Baroque - classical (Mozart, Haydn is hit or miss for me).

James, as you say, SACD certainly isn't a guarantee of performance quality, and it also doesn't necessarily result in superior sound quality. Many SACDs do in fact sound better, but as the tests described in the AES Journal paper by Meyer a couple of years ago indicate, this is due to better recording, mixing and mastering, not any automatic format superiority(the excellent SACDs sounded equally excellent when processed through 16 bit, 44.1KHz ADC/DACs, "downgrading" them to the CD standard).
Now, if you can ease off a bit on the BIG orchestra, BIG conductor requirement and simply enjoy great music in great performances and sound, here's a list of favorite SACDs that should meet your needs: first a pricey, but worth the $22 up cost, Mobile Fidelity Ravel collection ; Carmina Burana ; Debussy orchestrations ; Ilya Murometz ; Vaughan Williams collection . This is all gorgeous and/or exciting music in excellent sound and available from some of the Amazon sellers at a reasonable price.
[QUOTE=TNRabbit;1322631]Duh; only one of the top 5 recommended classical pieces~ OOPs, It is on some of the original posts from 8 years ago. I guess I didn't look back far enough, d'oh!
I got this in the mail today....never heard of the Guy till this week.
Penguin Guide gave it a top award of Rosette and for good reason....it's GREAT!
Very worth while to add to my collection. Cd number 161 for me.

I will start with Wagner's Ring Cycle by the Valencia Orchestra and chorus, Zubin Meta conducting. The sound is authored in 7.1 DTS Master HD audio and is the best I have ever heard for any Ring Cycle. The video is also incredible, especially since the production incorporates lots of projections and unusual costumes and special effects. The creators claim that every Prop that Wagner describes is in the production, but in no way will any one see this as a traditional Ring Cycle Production.
I would be interesed to hear from anyone else who has seen this production.

NCAA Tournament Free Pick for 3/24/13: #15 Florida Gulf Coast vs. #7 San Diego State
Posted March 23rd, 2013 by Chief Handicapper & filed under Basketball Picks.
The darlings of the 2013 NCAA Tournament, the #15 Florida Gulf Coast Eagles are going to attempt to become the first No. 15 seed in the history of the dance to win a second game in the NCAA Tournament. They'll try to beat the March Madness betting lines as 7 ½-point underdogs against the #7 San Diego State Aztecs at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA.
You're not going to find a better story than this one in the dance. Florida Gulf Coast didn't even have a school 16 years ago, and it didn't even play Division I basketball for the first time until six seasons ago. Now add into the mix the fact that the team was only eligible for the first time ever for the dance last season. It truly is a remarkable phenomenon. Not only were the Eagles good enough to beat the No. 2 Georgetown Hoyas to become the eighth No. 15 seed to ever beat a No. 2 seed, but they also did it in dominating fashion. Over the course of the whole second half, it was clear who the better of these two teams were, as FGCU was full of swagger and was knocking down seemingly every important shot that it took.
San Diego State took a far less exciting path to get into the Round of 32. The Aztecs got 21 points from G Jamaal Franklin en route to a 70-55 win over the Oklahoma Sooners. The game was a dominating one defensively for the Mountain West reps, as the team allowed Oklahoma to hit just 39.7 percent of its shots from the field. In the second half, the Sooners only managed 22 points and never really had much of an answer to anything that Franklin and the Aztecs were trying to accomplish.
We're full believers in the magic of March. Generally speaking though, No. 15 seeds don't play well after getting through the first round. In fact, they have never won the next game that they have played, and they are winless from an ATS perspective as well. The darlings of the dance are going to get busted on Sunday night. Take the San Diego State Aztecs -7.5.

WISN-TV off Time Warner Cable "until further notice"
There will be no "Good Morning, America" for Time Warner Cable subscribers in Milwaukee starting Friday. Or "The Bachelorette." Or "Modern Family."
Because ABC affiliate WISN-TV (Channel 12) has been removed from the cable service by the station's owners, Hearst Television Inc.
All other Hearst stations had been removed from Time Warner earlier this week in a contractual dispute over fees paid to Hearst by Time Warner to carry its 29 stations.
But WISN-TV was granted an exception because of a technicality requiring Time Warner to provide the station's signal to Charter Communications.
Charter confirmed it has made other arrangements for Hearst to provide it with the signal.
As a result WISN-TV will be removed from the lineup at midnight Thursday.
The station confirmed this on their 10 p.m. newscast.
The story said they would be "temporarily" off the cable service "until further notice."
The station will staff a hotline to answer questions about the blackout and put its local newscasts on its website starting at 6 a.m. Friday.
According to a statement from Time Warner: "Hearst Television has informed us that they will black out the WISN signals from Time Warner Cable customers tonight at midnight. In spite of Hearst's blackout, we stand ready to continue negotiations and are hopeful that the channel will be returned to the lineup shortly. We think it's wrong to put viewers in the middle of business negotiations."
WISN-TV is still available free over the air, on DirecTV and Dish and from other cable operators.
In an earlier statement, WISN-TV rebutted Time Warner's assertion that Hearst asked for a 300% increase in fees to carry its stations. WISN-TV president and general manager Jan Wade called that figure "inaccurate. We have sought a reasonable increase consistent with the increased costs we have to pay for our highly valued programs."
Meanwhile Viacom channels like Comedy Central and Nickelodeon remain off DirecTV in a similar dispute. When DirecTV advised its subscribers to watch Viacom shows on the Internet, Viacom responded by taking some of its shows off line.
And finally AMC, which was dropped by Dish Network in a similar dispute, will stream Sunday's premiere of "Breaking Bad" for Dish customers who register at AMCtv.Com.

I would rather have WISN than 90% of the useless channels TWC carries. For years now I have been waiting for Time Warner to carry the NFL network, and they don't even make an attempt to carry it. "Time" for this monopoly to be broken up.Hide replies
You're wrong; Time Warner has continued to approach the NFL from time to time for carriage of the NFL Network. However, as far as anyone has heard, the NFL has held steady on their demands, asking one of the highest per-customer rates of any cable network, and they are mandating inclusion on a standard tier of channels instead of a specialty sports tier. They are not willing to negotiate on either point, so Time Warner doesn't have much choice; they could cave to the NFL's demands like other providers, or stand firm. For the limited scope of the network, I hope they continue to stand firm.
As far as a monopoly, they aren't. There is competing services from AT&T in many areas, as well as Dish and DirecTV (who, BTW, is in the middle of their own carriage squabble).
Time Warner still charges more for less than AT&T and AT&T has the NFL Network, whats that say about TWC?
I have ATT U200, 12 Mbps internet, 2 cable boxes (ability to record up to 4 shows) for less than $115/mo and get NFL Network.
TWC told me to get anything close to this would be closer to $180/mo and no NFL Network.
Or, TW could get rid of 20 of those 45 shopping channels, 10 of the 23 cartoon channels and provide NFL network which actually has programming people want to see.
That will change,just wait.
AT&T is still relatively new to the area and is trying get more customers with lower prices.
TWC was a lot cheaper and as they got more customers they're prices started going up.
The same thing will happen with AT&T
Unless you want to keep looking for deals and changing providers you'll pay more.Eventually the market will be saturated and everyone will be paying about the same.
BSB.... you just might be right about that.
Yeah cuz in 3 years my bill's went up $7 total. When I was with TWC they wanted to jack me from $84 to $132 in one year.
Football is king....end of story. TWC needs to come to terms with WISN,and the NFL....ASAP...so I don't have to keep missing games. There is no reason not to have the NFL Network now!
3 games on Sunday and MNF is not enough football?
@FoS - Football might king to you...to many other TWC customers it's not. And I personally don't want to see my rates go up because you demand that they carry the NFL Network.
brstolper, welcome to the Republican party. I agree that no one should have to pay more so someone else can get something for free (i.e. "spread the wealth"). Again, a hearty welcome...
One correction, Duane: Hearst doesn't dispute the 300% increase. They dispute the "characterization" of the increase. There's a big difference. The latter to me sounds like they don't dispute the facts, just the way they sound coming from Time Warner. (They also say that they dispute that they are blacking out the network, even though they clearly are, so they aren't exactly a real trustworthy source in this whole mess.)Hide replies
ITA, the "300%" needs to be put into better context. A percentage alone is meaniless and inflammatory.
What is the current rate TWC pays Heart per cable TV subscriber? Is it ten cents and Hearst wants thirty cents? Or is it five dollars and they want fifteen? Would be nice to have more specific information.
No loss in my book. Wonder if Time Warner will the pass the savings onto customers? HAH!
Um, WISN-TV is still on the air? Guess I won't miss them.Hide replies
If they brought back Jerry Taft, you'd miss it.
The name is JERRY TAFF. Jerry Taft is hi sreal name but used JERRY TAFF on the air.
It was Jerry Taff
People like freedomofspeech7 that don't know ANYTHING yet they sit back and spew mis-information to stir the pot!Hide replies
The pot is stirred my friend....tell your TWC buddies I am sick and tired of them not having the NFL Network. I have to leave my wife and kids on Thursday nights to watch football at the bar, because I can't watch the game at home. Enough of Swamp People, and Pawn Swamp People....I want football and I want it now! Football is king.
@freedomofspeech7 .... i bet your wife and kids are thrilled that you have to leave the house on thursdays
Freedom............wow what a wonderful husband and father you are. Leave them at home so you can watch your precious football. Really??????
Don't forget Super Swamp People and Super Swamp People Who Pawn Stuff....
This is such childish behavior by these companies. What happened to the public owning the airwaves. Obviously that adage no longer applies, probably because this medium is transmitted by either satellite or cable. But to me the same principal applies and their ought to be some sort of accountability here to the public for using subscribers as pawns. Back in the day, this would never have happened, especially to a key local TV station. I can guarantee you that there won't be any credits coming your way on bills. Would these companies like to see the FCC step in or be more heavily regulated - I don't think - so but there might have to be some sort of governmental action to prevent this because it is becoming all too commonplace now. I am a DirecTV subscriber and my kids are deeply upset that Nickelodeon is off the air. Perhaps the only way to prevent this is to call up the company and threaten to take your business elsewhere.Hide replies
The public can indeed watch Channel 12 "over the airwaves", they just can't watch it on Time Warner Cable.
But who actually watches Channel 12 over the airwaves now. To do that now you better have a digital TV - good luck getting the signal without some sort of antenna or converter that no one has. Most people have had cable or satellite for years and won't know how to go about tuning it in anyway.
I do. Got rid of cable/sat years ago. Small HD (less than $50.00) antenna in the house and I get all the major channels with great reception. Don't miss cable/sat at all. Free at last, free at last, free at last.
Actually, plenty of people have the converter - I do in one room that does not have a cable outlet. Most of my neighbors do also. You just go to walmart and pay about 12 bucks for a box. You get some extra channels too that are not available on cable. Rather nice I might add and the reception is fine.
Jose, The public may own the airwaves but Hearst and it's affiliates own the right sto the programming.
I believe my comments reflect the realities of 21st century TV viewership that most people have either cable or satellite. I have satellite - 4 TV's strong with a number of other devices attached - and thus would not unplug one of my boxes to watch Channel 12 over the air. I'd merely tune to one of the other stations in town or go to a national network to get news. I read somewhere recently that Milwaukee had the lowest cable/satellite viewership of larger markets in the country. No surprise there - we know how "frugal" most Milwaukeeans are. I for one would go stir crazy watching the half dozen or so crap local channels that might be on over the air TV. So if you don't have either cable or satellite, all the power to you - enjoy.
But we're no longer in the 1950's. Most people in the area will be affected by this since they have cable.
Great point.
Been considering looking elsewhere.. Might get serious this time if TWC cannot produce... We pay enough for plenty of years...Hide replies
Yep & you'll be paying more if TWC caves to Hearst's demands.
Want to go to Directv? they just lost: Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, MTV, BET, VH1, CMT, Logo, Spike, TV Land, MTV2, VH1 Classic, Palladia, Nick Jr., NickToons, TeenNick, Nickelodeon West, Tr3s, Centric, MTV India, Nickelodeon HD, Comedy Central HD, MTV HD, BET HD, VH1 HD, CMT HD and Spike HD.
On second thought.
Darn I will really miss Channel 12, I cannot remember last time I watched the station or good morning America.
Yet another reason to ditch these crooks -----so sick of Time Warner Cables monopoly of the system....they are way over prices, thier service sucks, and now i have to go without Ch 12 because they cant pull thier greedy heads out of thier as&*$!!!!!Hide replies
Why do they have a monopoly?
There is Direct TV,Dish and AT&T.
By the way Direct TV and Dish have also dropped stations.
It's simply part of the game if you want Cable.
Channel 12 is going to be hurting a lot more than TWC-bad move on Hearst's part.
AT&T sucks. We tried it right after we moved to tosa- 6months - couldn't take the problems. pulled the plug and went with time-warner. no issues.
I agree.
I've had cable since the early nineties and the cable,Internet,Digital phone bundle since 2007 and no issues at all.
The price goes up but what doesn't.
U-Verse is the best. You get ALL the channels for less money. Also don't have to worry about losing the signal every time it thinks about raining hard outside. Time Warner is overpriced and TERRIBLE.
I think thepiratebay.org could help these people out.Hide replies
yes, with trojans, and worms

Would you be willing to pay more at the pump, have a tracking system on your car that taxes you by the mile, or see tolls on state highways? Those are just some of the possibilities looming as Massachusetts looks to erase the state's transportation system's deficit.
The Boston Globe reported that Gov. Deval Patrick will ask lawmakers to raise taxes in order to pay for a transportation system—from the MBTA to roads and bridges—that continues to operate in the red. The administration will present a specific proposal by Jan. 7.
One option is raising the gas tax, a route Patrick sought in 2009 only to be rebuffed by the legislature. Patrick sought a 19 cent increase while business groups endorsed a 25 cent increase. Ultimately, the state Senate voted down two budget amendments, one which would've increase the tax by 19 cents as requested by Patrick and one that would have increased it by a more modest 12 cents.
Massachusetts' gas tax of 21 cents a gallon, unchanged since 1991 except for a 2.5 cent increase imposed to clean up underground contaminants according to the Globe, ranks 29th in the nation according non-partisan tax research group The Tax Foundation.
Another option according to the Globe is taxing miles driven, which could require tracking devices installed on all registered cars in the state.
WBZ pundit Jon Keller said that the state should "try to spread the pain around" by putting open-road (a.k.a. high-speed) tolling on interstate highways. In a live chat on Patch in September, Patrick asked a reader whether he'd support high-speed tolls in response to a question about toll fairness.
Keller also said the state could require license fees for bicyclists, whom he said have "been the beneficiaries of a lot of recent public spending."
Other options, according to the Globe, include using future casino revenue and transferring MBTA debt to the state's books.
"At this point, everything remains on the table," state Transportation Secretary Richard A. Davey told the Globe.
Would you support a higher gas tax, high-speed tolls, a tax-by-mile program or licenses for bicyclists? Tell us in the comments which plans you'd consider to make up the transportation system's deficit and which options you consider off the table.

Totally not trying to put words in BLAND's mouth, but I totally get what he's saying... Turnamancy, as witnessed thus far, is remarkably powerful in just about every aspect of the comic. Skipping past Kingsworld (a few posters may have started having seizures upon reading that) and the enhanced speed for production (which is major, regardless of Shmucker-spending)... We're now getting a better look at a third major application of Turnamancy; the ability to convert units. En masse, at that!MarbitChow wrote:But why does the effort involved in 'turning' the person matter to the story?
In a world where "mind control" is real (including Earth), why does turnamancy / mind control need to be nerfed for the sake of the story?
We're past the point of converting a single Warlord (Duncan) who may, or may not, have had a low Loyalty score... We're now to Vanna being able to turn an estimated 12.5 units on a given turn. Maybe another 12.5 on a second turn? Even if we say it takes three turns, that's 25 units who could've had a very high Loyalty and now? Now they're loyal to a totally different side through a sparkle of some finger-tips. Bam. That's all.
It actually brings up some interesting questions about Archons... If Charlie was so worried about Gobwin Knob getting a hold of his secrets, are we correct to assume no one has ever captured or turned one of his Archons? I'd wanna say it'd be easier to turn a single unit then to turn twelve-point-five of them.
I believe the character development after having said control "lifted"/the Turnamancy-spell being 'undone' would be great, but isn't that what we're getting to see through Decryption? Besides, who's to say there is any sort of 'lifting'? Duncan seems true-blue-FAQ... lol, rhymes... So who are we to say that it'll ever lift? If it takes a turnamancy-spell to turn a unit, who's to say it wouldn't take another turnamancy-spell to turn the unit back? For me, it just strikes too close to Decryption - but the difference is, Decryption is meant to be broken/overpowered.MarbitChow wrote:Wouldn't what occurs after the control is lifted have the potential to be as interesting?
You made the comment that cheaply converting characters makes the notion of character useless.
Couldn't their rationalizations while under it, and the their reactions once it's lifted add to their character?
So I dunno; I just feel like it devalues a character's loyalty/devotion/Loyalty (uppercase 'L') to their side when a simple spell or two can undo it all. I mean, are the characters even able to resist it? Could Don have Bunny cast three or four Turnamancy scrolls on Caesar with his back turned, and bam: Loyal as the day he was popped? Could Vanna (or any other Turnamancer) cast a few spells on their ruler to make their Overlord/King/Queen totally loyal to them-self? Perhaps Charlie is a Turnamancer, given the powers of a Thinkamancer by the Arkendish, who used enough magic on his ruler to give himself control over a side? Oh, sorry, my tinfoil hat was on!!
Okay, I totally love the idea of a character who's been turned so many times between sides that they're mentally unstable, but in any other case? Why bother? If a character wants to turn to an enemy side, let 'em. If a character doesn't/wouldn't want to turn, why make 'em? ... Or better yet, why make it that easy? Make it a gradual process that takes dozens of turns. Not a small handful with seemly no repercussions. It just seems superfluous. Suuuuuuperfluuuuuous. Fun word.MarbitChow wrote:I guess I don't see why mind-control / -manipulation as a story-telling device cheapens the character at all.
If anything, it could add depth (reactions once manipulation is broken adding additional motivations) or pathos (we know the character is screwed, but the character can't see it themselves) or any number of complications that can advance plot.
