Sitefinity CMS is a modern business platform utilizing the latest and greatest technology within the Asp.Net Framework. Unlike most of the solutions out there, Sitefinity caters the needs of all the stakeholders in an IT project, providing slick, intuitive UI for the business users, drag-and-drop layout builder combined with mobile ready designs features for designers, and great integration and customization flexibility for developers (check the Benefits section).
Sitefinity powers more than 10,000 commercial websites, community portals, and intranets worldwide with a particularly strong presence in Financial Services, Government, and Education. Global brands such as Kraft Foods, Dannon, Magna, BASF, Toyota, Chevron, and Yale School of Management rely on Sitefinity every day. For a sample list of sites that run on Sitefinity, please refer to our customers section.
Sitefinity can switch freely between Web Forms and MVC. Each Sitefinity template has 3 modes: Web Forms, MVC and hybrid mode - where MVC controllers and Web Forms controls can exist on the same page. Sitefinity's MVC implementation is fully aligned with Microsoft's and existing MVC code works 'as in' in Sitefinity. Read ASP.NET MVC in Sitefinity whitepaper
Sitefinity allows you easy management of unlimited number of websites, hosted in a single Sitefinity application. This unique approach allows for content and template reuse across multiple websites. Different modules can be enabled/disabled for the different websites, thus every site can have its own configuration. Contact us to find more about the multisite licensing model.
Sitefinity CMS is the only CMS that is naturally mobile friendly, effect achieved by incorporation of Responsive Design directly into the content management experience. A website designed with Sitefinity would be successfully delivered across an endless variety of browsing devices.
The Sitefinity Software Development Kit (SDK) includes how-to tutorials, sample projects, Visual Studio templates, and comprehensive documentation. The SDK is designed to increase the developers' productivity when meeting project requirements and developing Sitefinity extensions for the Marketplace. The SDK is open source and available for download on GitHub.
Different training services are provided exclusively by our Sitefinity certified training partners. Check our Trainings page for more information on the trainings available.
There is also online self-paced developer training and certification for Sitefinity. Details available here.
You can review the Sitefinity documentation here.
The Sitefinity licensing model is domain-based, meaning that with a single license you can register a given domain name (mywebsite.com). Sitefinity will allow you to register unlimited number of sub-domains for non-production purposes such as development and testing. We've packaged Sitefinity in five different editions tailored to different solutions. Most notably, the versions differ in the number of concurrent CMS editors and feature sets. A complete comparison table of all editions is available on our Pricing Page. All Sitefinity licenses are onetime fee (perpetual), with annual service subscription fee for access to product updates and support service.
The number of users who are authorized to access the Sitefinity administration and who are logged in the same time. These users may include content editors, administrators, web designers, publishers, etc. The total number of users/accounts that may be registered in the system is unlimited; however only a certain number of users may log in at the same time depending on your license. As soon as someone logs out, another user can log in.
No, all editions come with a predefined number of concurrent CMS users and the only way to add more is to upgrade to a different edition.
Yes, administrators can log out users at any time. If the concurrent user limit is reached, administrators can see which users are logged in and decide if someone should be logged out.
There are two cases when you can have several domain names all pointing to the same website:
1. Domain Alias is a domain name that is used as an alternative name for another domain. For example, if the primary domain name is "original.com" and a Domain Alias is registered for "alias.com", then "http://www.original.com" and http://www.alias.com will take visitors to the exact same pages of the "original.com" website. Furthermore, http://original.com/somefile.html will bring visitors to the exact same page as http://alias.com/somefile.html.
2. Domain Forwarding (URL Redirect) allows redirection of web requests for the parked domain name to content hosted on a different server. In case of Domain Forwarding when a visitor attempts to access the forwarded domain, the web browser automatically redirects to the specified website.
In both cases you would NOT need separate Sitefinity licenses for each domain alias/forwarded domain. In the case of domain aliases, please contact email@example.com with the list of domain aliases, and we will generate additional license keys for you. Please, note that in order to register a domain alias, you need to have a license with active support subscription. Prior to issuing of the new domain name licenses, you will need to sign an Annex to the Sitefinity EULA. In the case of domain forwarding, it would be sufficient if you generate the Sitefinity license key for the primary domain name only.
No, you don't need to purchase additonal licenses because every Sitefinity license comes with unlimited number of sub-domains for used non-production purpose such as development, testing, staging, etc. Please, contact us and we will issue you the respective license keys. Note that you can use the localhost domain for development purposes with any license key.
A support incident is defined as a single support issue with the SOFTWARE and the reasonable effort required to resolve it. A single support incident is a support problem which cannot be broken down into secondary issues. A single support incident may involve several emails and offline work in order to be resolved. The Customer needs to provide Telerik with detailed information about the problem encountered. Though Telerik Support Engineers will make reasonable efforts to resolve the issue, Telerik does not guarantee any problem resolution.
All bug reports and product feature suggestions are not considered to constitute support incidents
No, you are not allowed to use the included additional Telerik products outside of the scope of your Sitefinity project. If you would like to use these products for other projects, you may purchase them from our online store.
Yes, upgrades from one Sitefinity edition to another are seamless. All you have to do is replace the license file, once you have purchased the upgrade. The Sitefinity project will not be affected and you will not lose content or modules, configurations will also be preserved. The upgrade terms are time sensitive (check the Renewals and Upgrades page).
The Sitefinity early (pre-expiry) subscription renewal costs 30% of the license list price. Late renewals will cost 40% of the license list price and are available only within 60 days after your subscription expires. You can see the renewal and upgrade options for all Sitefinity license editions on our renewals and upgrades page.
Yes. Attaching an add-on to your Standard or Professional edition will increase your subscription fee. The new yearly fee will be calculated based on the price of the new package (list price of license plus list price of an add-on).
The Sitefinity DEC Basic Plan is included with Sitefinity CMS Online Marketing and Enterprise editions. It is available for free to all Sitefinity customers with these editions that have an active license maintenance. The Basic plan includes the following:
More contact profiles, cloud users and data sources can be purchased by contacting us at email@example.com.
The basic plan allows only for website data collection. Integration with third party systems such as Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) is supported in the Advanced and higher Sitefinity DEC plans.
A contact profile represents a single record for a person in your customer journey database who can be an anonymous website user or a known contact.
If the same person visits your website from three devices, the system will create three unique profiles for him or her, but once the person provides identifiable information (e.g. email address) or authenticates from these devices, the system will consolidate all three profiles into a single one.
Personalized page views are approximately equal to the total number of views for all personalized website pages, which make a call to Sitefinity DEC to determine the user segment (e.g. Persona) in order to personalize the page for them.
In more detail, we count the number of such personalization API calls to Sitefinity DEC per day to determine the total number of personalized page views. Views to personalized pages that don't rely on Sitefinity DEC and views to non-personalized pages do not make any API calls and therefore are not counted towards the limit.
You don't need worry about it, everything will continue working as normal. However, if you consistently go over the daily limit within the month, we will review your account and contact you to discuss your case.
No, the limit on contact profiles is per end customer and it doesn't depend on the number of Sitefinity CMS domains or licenses you have purchased. To purchase more contact profiles please contact our sales team at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Sitefinity DEC Basic plan is supported through the support package of your respective Sitefinity CMS Online Marketing or Enterprise edition.
All other Sitefinity DEC plans have a separate support package with 24-hour guaranteed response time and phone support.
Yes, if you are a non-profit or government organization, you are qualified for a discount from our list pricing. Please contact our sales department for more info at email@example.com
The fastest and easiest way to obtain Sitefinity license is through our online store or just give us a call and we'll process your order over the phone.

Mugabe's Last Stand
He's destroyed his country; now he's going begging.
Aug 1, 2005, Vol. 10, No. 43 • By ROGER BATE
ZIMBABWEAN PRESIDENT ROBERT MUGABE IS a man of contradictions. He held an election to show the world that Zimbabwe was a modern democracy but sent his army to run the polling stations and make sure everybody voted the right way. He fancies himself a hero in the continuing struggle against Western imperialists, but his favorite saying is reportedly: "Absolute power is when a man is starving and you are the only one who can give him food."
Mugabe should know. His own desperate clinging to power has brought the once buoyant Zimbabwean economy near collapse, so that now even he cannot feed the starving. He has turned to his old comrade from the anticolonial wars and the leader of his strongest neighbor, President Thabo Mbeki of South Africa, to request a billion-dollar loan in order to buy emergency food and fuel supplies for the people he has led to ruin.
Even in this there is an element of blackmail. For if South Africa can't help--or, more likely, Mugabe refuses to comply with the condition attached to a South African loan, that he stop attacks against opposition supporters--he has another card to play. At this writing, Mugabe is off again to Beijing to ask his new friends the Chinese for the money. They will probably pay the billion dollars, in return for what remains of Zimbabwe's once highly profitable tobacco industry.
But this outrageous bluff may come too late to save him. His slum-clearance program, Operation Murambatsvina--variously translated from Shona as "Clean up the rubbish" and "Remove the filth"--is Mugabe's latest attempt to break the solid support enjoyed by the opposition Movement for Democratic Change, particularly in the major cities of Harare and Bulawayo. The main features of the campaign are the bulldozing of townships, the burning and looting of property, and the corralling of people in the clothes they stand up in to be trucked to unsanitary holding camps outside the cities.
Archbishop Pius Ncube of Bulawayo, fresh from an audience with the pope in Rome, was in Britain recently to lobby G8 leaders. The archbishop continued his forthright public criticism of Mugabe and of those doing too little to stop his depredations. Ncube provided a full report and eyewitness account of the results of Operation Murambatsvina. Thousands are now dying weekly of AIDS, malaria, and malnutrition. Food supplies are almost out, and there is no fuel left in most parts of the country.
President Mbeki, who also met with G8 leaders, may finally have been persuaded that he can no longer watch and wait for the octogenarian Mugabe to die. Last week, days ahead of a U.N. report expected to be highly critical of Zimbabwe and possibly to call for Security Council action on Zimbabwe's abuse of human rights, Mbeki sent his deputy to strongly advise Mugabe to stop persecuting his people and to start talking to his political opponents, sources in both countries say. As one diplomat put it to me: "We're approaching the end game on Zimbabwe, and Mbeki wants to make sure he's not on the wrong side." Pressure has also come from Nigeria's president, Olusegun Obasanjo, to bring Mugabe to the negotiating table.
Moving millions of people into the countryside ensures that they are utterly reliant on government-controlled food aid for survival. But there may also be a more subtle motive. Many squatters now being forced out of towns and shunted into the country are former farm workers made redundant and homeless by seizures of white-owned farms. Mugabe is perhaps hoping they will soon return to work on farms now occupied by yet another set of tenants--his new Chinese friends, who are increasingly replacing whites as business owners and producers.
Mugabe is claiming that his actions are intended to clean up the black market in goods and services and the illegal trade in foreign currency, which he blames for causing the downfall of the economy. Indeed, there is a black economy, but this is a result of economic collapse, not its cause. Official unemployment is around 75-80 percent, so many Zimbabweans work informally. Many also receive foreign currency sent by friends and relatives working abroad. Most of this money is untaxed and does not pass through banks, but officials estimate it amounts to 60 percent of the economy. Since the demise of Zimbabwe's export-earning tobacco production, to say nothing of its tourist industry, the country is desperate for hard currency. It seems inevitable that Zimbabwe will default on an international loan, which will probably cause the IMF and World Bank to expel the country from its list of recipients any day.

The 11 youths taken Friday from a private Valley Center school, Rainbow Ranch, have been released from the county's Hillcrest Receiving Home and turned over to their parents while the investigation into allegations of abuse at the school continues, officials said Monday.
Lana Willingham, deputy director of the county's Department of Social Services, said investigators "are looking at the appropriateness of the parents' response to the situation once they learn of the sort of discipline that occurred at the ranch."
Two boys who ran away from the school complained to The Times that the school's Christian education was "brainwashing" and that those who resisted were harshly punished.
Willingham said her department is working with sheriff's deputies and state licensing agencies in the investigation.
"As near as we can determine, the facility was not licensed, but we're still trying to determine who has authority over the school," Willingham said.

The Iron Queen (Harlequin Teen) (edition 2011)
by Julie Kagawa
Work details
The Iron Queen by Julie Kagawa
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Plot: The world created by Kagawa is amazing and magical. The detail that she gives about this imaginary world really helps the reader understand and even care about where her characters are from. Iron Fey are completely unique to this series and I don't think I've ever read anything about or like them before. The plot is filled with action, romance and suspense. There is never a dull moment and our heroic trio is always on the move. There are a lot of twists and turns throughout the story and even some unexpected endings. I can't really say much more about it without giving away important details and events, so you're just going to have to read and find out.
Characters: It amazed me how much the characters grew from the beginning of the series. Meghan, once an an insecure 15 year old, turns into a strong, confident young adult. She is ready to take on anything that is thrown her way and is not afraid to sacrifice herself for the ones she loves. She has quickly become one of my favorite heroines. Ash and Puck are also back for this book; it wouldn't be the same without them. The two boys realize that they need to put their differences aside in order to help the girl they both love. Along with all the returning characters we also get to meet some new ones: Glitch, Razor, and the Clockmaker.
Cover: Once again, I loved the cover. So far they have all been similar, yet different and I love it when books in a series have a certain theme to them.
Overall Impression: AMAZING! Great ending to an even greater series. I am dying to read Ash's story, The Iron Knight, which comes out later this year.
The Iron Queen is the third installment in the Iron Fey series by Julie Kagawa.
The Iron Queen picks up right after the end of The Iron Daughter. Meghan, daughter of the Summer King and Ash, son of the Winter Queen were exiled from the Nevernever for falling in love, something that is forbidden by the two courts.
Ash and Meghan are thinking what their future will held in this new life in the "real" world far away from the intrigues and life of the Nevernever. Meghan wants to go back home to Louisiana, she dreams of being reunited with her mother, step-father and brother and live a normal life in company of Ash, but when she gets close to their house she realizes that her family will be at risk just for her been there with them.
She also realizes that for her and hers to be ever at peace the False Iron King has to die. She decides to start training with Ash. Puck has followed them, in consequence he is also exiled from the Nevernever. Ash is helping Meghan with her fighting skills and Puck is helping her with her training in glamour.
While Meghan is doing some progress with her trainings she is offer a deal from her father King Oberon and from Ash's mother Queen Mab, they offer to lift the exile for her, Ash and Puck, giving them full pardon for their crimes if she returns to the Nevernever and goes deep into the Iron Realm and kills the False Iron King before the Iron realm overtakes the Summer and Winter Realms.
Though she doesn't like that they are considering and treating her as an assassin, she knows she has to do it and for her failing is not an option.
Meghan grows Page by page, she is a different person emotionally and physically. She knows what she has to do and nothing will stop her because she's willing to do whatever is necessary to obtain it.
Ash show us his heart in this book and what a heart he has. I liked him in the previous books but I loved him in this one. I ❤ him.
Ash and Meghan relationship gets cemented in this installment, they are good for each other, they laid bare their emotions and show us that their love is beautiful and pure, their devotion to each other is a real bliss.
Puck also proves his love for Meghan and even though he's deeply in love with her, he's knows that she loves Ash and respects that, because her love for her is so great that he wants for her whatever makes her happy.
Grimalkin also makes an appearance in this book. I'm a cat lover and he's a perfect example of a cat, he does what he wants when he wants. He is a great help along the way even though he behaves like he doesn't care and things are not his business. I love this character.
The end of the book left my heart hurting and wishing tomorrow was November to get my hands in the next instalment, The Iron Knight.
I love this series, but The Iron Queen surpassed my expectations. Ms. Kagawa is an amazing writer, I love the world created by her, it's so vivid and rich in detail that I just need to close my eyes to see it and feel it in front of me.
I don't have anything negative to say about this book, the only thing left for me to tell you is that if you haven't read this book you shouldn't wait more, go get it NOW! You won't regret it.
If you haven't read this series I recommend you to read it in order.
My favorite quotes:
"For better or worse, I'm afraid you're stuck with me now" (Ash to Meghan)
"I have always loved you, princess," Robin Goodfellow promised, his green eyes shining in the darkness. "I always will. And I'll take whatever you can give me"
"I won't let anything happen to you," he murmured. "You are my heart, my life, my entire existence." (Ash to Meghan)
"And in the quiet stillness before dawn, on the brink of a war that could tear us apart, our auras danced and twined in the darkness, coiling around each other until they finally merged, becoming one."
This is by far my favorite book in this series so far. I love that Meghan finally grows her spine out and finally starts wanting to do things for herself. I was so happy when I started reading this book. It is excellent. I hated how, yet again, the fairy monarchs needed her to come to their rescue, and as usual, she stood up and did what was right.
I love seeing the relationship between Ash and Meghan grow as well as the many other relationships we see in this book. I also have to admit to tearing up at the end of this book. There is definitely not a cliff hanger at the end but it's not a HEA...there is definitely still more to this story and I can't wait to read it.
The way Ms. Kagawa formats and executes this book is flawless and beautiful. It wasn't predictable and I loved it. Can't wait to read The Iron Knight.
I am always intrigued at the way imaginary lands creatures carry over from one story to another. This series by Julie Kagawa is an excellent example of that.

The first book - The Iron King - takes place partly in the our world and partly in the world of Faery - where King Oberon has had a half faery daughter named Meghan who figures out on her 16th birthday when she figures out her 4 yr old brother has been switched with a changeling. As the Faery sight begins to emerge she realizes that her great friend Robbie is actually her protector Puck or Robin Goodfellow...sound familiar? It's Midsummers night dream tied in to today's world.
But that isn't the only twist - the faery world of NeverNever is slowly dying due to a strange new fey of iron. Iron is the killer of all faery creatures - one touch is deadly. Who knew?! And there is a king aiming to take over the entire world of NeverNever.

Meghan crosses path with Ash, the hunter from the winter court and sworn enemy of Puck and Grimalkin the Cait Sith (that is a fancy way of calling him the cheshire cat from Alice). This group comes together to defeat the Iron King and in so doing Meghan finds a part of herself she had no idea existed.
Iron Daughter picks up right where Iron King ends. I love books that do that!
image from LibraryThing
But - I really felt like each of the next books didn't have quite the build up the first one did. As a reader, the excitement Meghan felt as she was discovering her identity was gone. Instead, it was a slow smoldering romance. I wasn't as interested...but I can't seem to stop in the middle of a series. I wanted to know how Meghan overcomes the obstacles that her father and Mab the Winter Queen throw in front of her. I wanted to know if her relationship grows with Ash and if he decides what his real priorities are and if he and Puck continue the feud. And probably most importantly I wanted to know how Meghan defeats the false Iron King.
And that took us through the next two books.
The Iron Knight was completely different. Ash was the main character on a quest to become human so he could be with Meghan and the Iron Fey. When I started this one I just wanted it to be over. It felt like the final season of ER - I just really didn't care anymore - but I had put enough time in that I didn't want to quit. At least that is how I felt at the beginning. It did draw me in. I did care about Ash and Puck. I really didn't like Ariella though. But - my favorite characters were Grimalkin and The Big Bad Wolf. They were great!
So - I really liked these books. I thought they were interesting and a new twist on the fairy tales we know. Great ideas!
My reviews of Iron Fey books 1 and 2 were all over the place. This time around, I decided to take notes in the event that I forgot things when review time came around. I now have a list a mile long. Sigh. Here goes.
While this book was marginally better than its predecessors, there is still a whole lot of silly goings ons. I am unable to fully immerse myself into these stories and it's so unbelievably frustrating. I want to immerse myself. I want to believe. Is that not the purpose of reading fiction and fantasy? Alas, it eludes me with this series.
When I read other reviews, I'm astounded. There are a slew of 5 star reviews. How can so many people see this as a 5 star book? Is it that I'm special and I hold books to a higher standard? Nah. I conclude that people love to love books and often ignore glaring discrepancies. People also love to click that 5th star. Anywho, on to the gripe fest.. This is likely to be long.
- The "Sudden & Misplaced Rage Syndrome." Meghan does it again. That misplaced RAGE at slights that she takes not a moment to try and understand. Coupled with the displacement of supposedly adored people in her life. "You did what?! I instantly hate you and can't believe that everything we've ever shared has been a farce! I don't care if you die right now!" (NOT a direct quote in the slightest.) Dang, girl. Take it easy.
- "The Way Meghan Perceives Grim." Constantly. Constantly! We are bashed over the head with how selfish and cunning this cat is. How he'd take advantage of anyone and everyone to get ahead. Constantly. Even still in book 3. Wtf. Let's really look at Meghan's history with Grim. In the very beginning, Grim did coerce her into making a self-serving deal. He wanted a favor owed from the Summer King. True that. What has he done since? Nothing but help her and save her ass countless times without asking anything in return!!! He has even used favors owed to him by other fairies to help her!!! And still Meghan is constantly going on about how selfish and sneaky the cat is and how he'd sell anyone out. Shut the fuck up, Meghan! You ungrateful twit!
- Direct quote: "On the second day, we reached the edge of a vast desert, a sea of sand dunes, rising and falling with the wind. I'd never seen the ocean, but I imagined it must be something like this, only with water instead of sand..."
Wait. So, the desert is just like an ocean, but devoid of water? In other words, not like an ocean at all, but more like a DESERT. So, essentially, you're saying that the DESERT is like a DESERT. Sigh. Am I the only one bothered by nonsense like this? Yah. I nitpick.
- Ariella. How many times are you gonna bring this ghost up, Ash? I swear, if my boyfriend compared me to Ariella even 1/4 as many times as Ash does Meghan, I'd scratch his eyes out. Stfu, Ash! This is an A & B relationship, so Ariella, C ya!
- I'm all for progression and shit, but
- "The Scooby Doo Villain Reveal" was especially stupid. How could she not have known? I read the whole book knowing who the villain would be, but her whole, "You?!" How could I not have realized it'd be YOU?!" bit was supremely Scooby Doo.
- The "I Suddenly Realized Syndrome". You mean, you've been fighting logic throughout this entire story and in the last few pages, you suddenly realize everything you need to know/remember/do and we are to revere you for your wisdom and growth? (Eyes roll out of face.)
I know. It's a lot of griping, but I can't not see these things. That's why I don't understand the slew of 5 star ratings. Because I've torn this book a new asshole, allow me to touch upon a couple of positives, though I'm unsure of their significance in light of the next book being Ash's POV:
- Meghan is stronger than ever before. She's trying to come into her own and I'm glad for that. She's just not there yet for me and as this was the last book in her POV, I really needed to see that.
- The introduction of new memorable characters. I was happy to see new, interesting characters introduced, but I'm concerned they won't be prominent in Ash's book.
- I liked where Meghan's story ended and despite my gripes, I liked the direction she was heading. I thought she ended strongly.
- I give credit where it's due - Kagawa's world-building is, as always, strong. She definitely creates very interesting side characters. It's only her MC's that are lackluster to me.
- That's it.
I'm gonna go read Summer's Crossing now and keep my fingers crossed for The Iron Knight. I'm too far in now to give up. All I can do is hope for the best and brace for the worst, as it's obvious I cannot go by the reviews for this series.. =/

|Printable auction results for all items in the 2009 April-May Cincinnati, OH (CSNS) US Coin Auction.
The 1796 15 Stars VF30 half dollar in this lot displays soft golden-gray patination accented with whispers of deeper bluish-gray. The design elements are nicely centered on the planchet and exhibit excellent detail. The dentilation is strong on both sides, and the surfaces are remarkably clean for a coin having seen moderate circulation. Indeed, we are hard pressed to locate pedigree markers. A minute field mark just above the tie ribbon will aid in this purpose, as will a light toning streak in the middle of Liberty's portrait. The diagnostic crack visible on most 1796 15 Stars specimens extends from the obverse rim at 5:00 through the bust-drapery to stars 15, 14, and 13 to the rim at 3:00.
This is an extremely pleasing, original example of this piece of Americana, and as such is sure to elicit spirited bidding. It is not often that circulated, problem-free Small Eagle halves appear at auction. The advanced type or date/variety collector will not want to miss out on this infrequent opportunity.

Sales Tax information | NGC Coin Grading Guarantee | Terms and Conditions
The Draped Bust Half Dollars of 1796-1797 by Jon Amato is the culmination of more than 10 years of research into the Draped Bust Small Eagle half dollar series, one of the most coveted type coins in American numismatics and one about which remarkably little has been written.
This work will be the premier reference for 1796-1797 half dollars for years to come. Institutions having an extensive numismatic library or coin cabinet will find it a valuable complement to their holdings, and catalogers charged with writing up specimens for auction can now have an indispensable source of background and pedigree information. Likewise, coin dealers seeking to purchase one or more '96 or '97 half dollars for a client or for inventory, and collectors who own, have owned, or desire to own one will want this important reference work for their libraries.

Day 44: Football resumes, Time Warner plays hardball, blackout continues
The start of the NFL season Thursday on NBC went unseen by subscribers of Time Warner Cable, where the blackout of Journal Broadcast Group stations, including WTMJ-TV (Channel 4), entered its 44th day.
Despite expectations that the football season, and the fall network prime-time season, would help the two sides resolve their dispute over fees paid by the cable service to carry the station's programming, Journal Broadcast said the cable company's claim that it has sold WTMJ's dial location "is not acceptable to us." »Read Full Blog Post(78)

Fresh off of Vice President Joe Biden's "they'll put ya'll back in chains" comments yesterday in Danville, Virginia, Mitt Romney hit back at the Obama campaign, hard, telling President Obama to take his campaign of division, hate and anger back to Chicago.
"He is intellectually exhausted, out of ideas and out of energy."
"The President is taking things to a new low. His campaign and his surrogates have made wild and reckless accusations that disgrace the office of the presidency."
"This is what an angry and desperate presidency looks like. President Obama knows better, promised better and America deserves better."
"His campaign strategy is to smash America apart and then try to cobble together 51 percent of the pieces."
Some Republican strategists were worried Mitt Romney may not fight hard enough against the Obama machine, I think it's fair to say he's proven them wrong.
Not surprisingly, the Obama campaign is still defending Biden's comments and calling Romney's response "unhinged."
Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt said, "Gov. Romney's comments tonight seemed unhinged."

Schröer (1886) it is a compound of Hebrew mephitz "destroyer" + tophel "liar" (short for tophel sheqer, literally "falsehood plasterer;" cf. Job xiii:4). Klein writes that the names of devils in the Middle Ages "are in most cases derived from Hebrew."

if someone gave you nothing in a box full made out of something would you still get nothing ?? do you know ? the answer is a face full of disappointment that will eventually turn into a crap long comment being written by someone who made a account just to type it.

You get a box which can be a present in and of itself. There are so many things you can do with a box. You can put stuff in it, make it in to a hat, make a diorama, make several masks depending on the size of the box, or use it as a canvas(es.) See, an empty box isn't just an empty box.

Wings' Babcock: We have to be better
Updated: May 2, 2011, 5:33 PM ETBy Pierre LeBrun | ESPN.com
DETROIT -- Mike Babcock spent three-plus hours on the flight home from the Bay Area watching video Sunday night. Then he got on the phone Monday morning with his buddies from the coaching fraternity.
They confirmed what he had already figured out by watching film.
"We were better in Game 2, but in saying that, I still don't think we skated at a high enough level," the Detroit Red Wings head coach told ESPN.com on Monday. "To me, they're skating better and winning more races ...

Manufacturer: Wyoming Saddlery/Montana Mountain Horse (View all products by Montana Mountain Horse)
Model: MHD5 - Crossover draft (View all MHD5 - Crossover draft reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I bought this saddle on the internet. I paid 884$ for it. 48$ for shipping a saddle tree back and forth from Pennsylvania to Oregon, and 253$ for shipping the saddle three times across the country. My horse is a draft cross with a short, broad, curvy, low withered back. I ride long hours in rough terrain. The saddle I had fit him fairly well, but he was getting white spots on his back, and taking shorter strides. I needed a better fit.
Likes: You get to pick a basic model, and then modify it as you wish, which is fun. Basically, you get to design your own saddle. I think you get exactly what you pay for, a medium quality saddle for a medium price. The tooling is very nice. It is comfortable, a balanced ride, and pretty if you don't look too closely at the details. It is a pleasure to heft such a light saddle after 25 years of a 50 pounder. I went for the leather upgrade, which I would definitely recommend.
Dislikes: Even after doing their saddle fit program, and mailing the saddle itself back, it doesn't fit as well as I would like. If you are undecided about your seat size, get a larger one. I always ride a 16, but this 16 is a hair small. I am 5'8" and the stirrup leathers and fenders are too short. The blevins buckle is right down at the stirrup, and that is with the rivets at the top of the fender almost showing. My husband will not be able to ride this saddle. I think the rigging is set too far forward, closer to a full, rather than a7/8s.
Quality: The leather is decent. I think it is sturdy and will hold up well. It is clumsily built. it looks nice on the top side, but when you really look you can see how they manage to make a "custom" saddle at that price.
Summary: It is a pretty, comfortable saddle that doesn't fit my horse like I had hoped. I can't tell that he changed the saddle at all for 150$ worth of shipping. The testimonials on the website are misleading, as they date from before the business was sold from Melissa to Bill and Beverly Graff. I wish I had gotten to deal with the helpful Melissa described in the testimonials. I am trying to be fair here, but I wish I had never heard of Wyoming saddlery.

This is where we can get some ideas from Lomography. For instance, put your film in a dishwasher: http://www.lomography.com/magazine/t...the-dishwasher
Or, you can try chemicals, like bleach, making film soup, roasting in the oven, or many other ways to torture your film. http://www.lomography.com/magazine/l...emical-cowboys
I have not personally tried these, but the results are interesting.

Over at the website 'The Mittani' (http://themittani.com/), there was an article by 'The Mittani' on newbie zones in EVE Online;
It is opinion piece that 'for the good of the game' new players deserves an exception to the cut-throat nature of EVE online.
For those who play EVE, it is a decisive opinion to have. EVE is famous for having a learning curve that is more akin to a cliff with molten hot lava pouring from the top and only those who 'brave' the elements are worthy to play the game.
It also goes against the whole 'give us worlds not a game' vision that pro-sandbox players have in this forum.
So lets discuss, if CCP or any other game company sacrifices their vision of 'creating worlds / sandbox elements' for newbies, are you okay with it?
If your mantra in this forum is 'give us worlds', do you think it is acceptable for exceptions to be made for new players?
It technically breaks the whole 'world' aspect and is that okay? Or is it not okay and you'd rather have a whole cohesive world where the same rules apply?

Most games do that to one degree or another. It's very common in themepark-style MMOs, so it makes sense to have it in MMOs that require a greater learning curve.

For those interested in the infamous images floated around years ago regarding the learning curve:
If you look at the first comment after the entire post, I think it would work out much better than handing out exceptions to newer players:
From a lore/blah perspective, an EVE newbie zone dosn't even need to be in "Real" systems, just have the whole shebang set inside "simulator spaces", hidden from view in the same way we can't see wormhole systems on the map.
Then, at the end of the tutorial toss all the newbies into racially aligned teams and into a 4-way newbie-ship bloodbath in a simulated 0.0 system at the end of the tutorial experience, with their final tutorial objecive: DIE (While explaining how self-destruct, clone updates etc, work).
Then, after they die at the hands of another fresh newbie or self-destruct their pod, they wake up in the real bit of EVE.
I think a lot of the decisions that went into the NPE (new player experience) was first and foremost to impress upon the players that New Eden is a harsh and unforgiving place. There isn't anything wrong with that but I would agree that it's a little abrupt and could use some finesse in order to more gently integrate new players into this type of game world.
They have made a lot of improvements to the NPE from removing learning skills, which dramatically reduced the amount of time needed to enter the real game, to re-working the tutorial for new players including a mission in which you cannot win and inevitably die, thus teaching new players how to feel/react to ship destruction.

Or maybe Mittani could have his corp stop constantly acting like a bunch of toxic assholes to newbies... and everybody else, for that matter? There's a thought.
CCP has already sacrificed much of their 'vision' to keep the current narrow-minded player base happy, and they also do pretty much whatever the Goons want them to. In other words, I smell a newbie zone incoming, though I'm sure he and his ilk will be right there camping its exit.
AN' DERE AIN'T NO SUCH FING AS ENUFF DAKKA, YA GROT! Enuff'z more than ya got an' less than too much an' there ain't no such fing as too much dakka. Say dere is, and me Squiggoff'z eatin' tonight!

An internal hordeolum (plural: hordeola) is an inflammation of the
oil glands inside the eyelid. Also called a stye, an internal hordeolum starts
as a sensitive, red, swollen area just beneath the surface of the eyelid along
the eyelash line.
An internal hordeolum develops from a blocked oil gland inside the
eye, which prevents the pore from draining and leads to inflammation. The
blockage often is the result of rubbing or using irritating products near the
eyes, both of which can transfer bacteria to the area. An internal hordeolum
usually comes to a head (clear or yellow fluid collects in the stye) in about 3
days, breaks open, drains, and then heals in about a week.
Usually, home treatment is all that is necessary to treat an
internal hordeolum. This includes not wearing eye makeup or contact lenses;
allowing the hordeolum to break open by itself; and applying warm, wet
compresses to the eye area. A hordeolum that does not heal on its own should be
evaluated by a health professional.

AM in Mulege.
Ever since the shitty road to Cocos I've been noticing a rattle/banging somewhere on the bike that I can actually feel in the pegs of the bike. I only hear it on bumpy terrain and being on the throttle makes no difference. After finding nothing from a quick inspection I figure I might as well start taking the bike apart as clearly the problem was a cracked frame or some other horrible injury. Before I get a chance to pull the first piece of plastic off, Kowalski comes out and rather casually observes that there's a bolt missing under the bike that might be the problem and then goes back to his tea.
I had to conceal my joy and sense of relief as my pride took a shot in the ribs over something I should have caught after scouring the bike up and down. I convince myself it's not because Mike's an engineer of some kind, it's just because he's built closer to the ground and has a better view... Ahem. Now knowing the problem, the three of us set off across town to the hardware store and to grab breakfast.
Said bye to baby kitties
Found him a new pal
And left the two to play together
New guys coming into the Hacienda as we walked out.
Walked to the other side of town and found a fantastic breakfast spot.
If it has homemade chili, you order the chili.
Easily their best photos of the trip. Breathtaking.
Hardware obtained
On the way back we notice what looks like a castle on the hill so we hike up to investigate.
Turns out it's the old state prison. We walked up and P started a conversation with the lady that takes care of the place, 15 pesos later we're getting tour of the prison.
The tour was very professional and remarkably informative from what Mike and I could discern as neither of us speak Spanish. This unfortunately also made the tour also very boring which led us to sneak off to take this picture while the tour went on.
Temperature is getting hot already, time to head back to the Hacienda, fix the bike and head to the coast.
Helpful kitties
We pack up, say good bye to the family that runs the hotel, say bye to the kitty, and hit the road. Today is a shorty ride to the coast in search of a place to beach camp. Mike pointed out a couple spot on the map that might be a good place to look and P and I had some placed highlighted as well.
2 miles out of Mulege has us on the transpeninsular highway skirting the Bahia de Concepcion passing a number of beach campsites. We pulled off at each one and found flaws at each. Some were too windy and others had way too much trash. So we keep looking.
Take a beer break before continuing.
Finally we come around the corner and find what we're looking for. Plus there's a restaurant on the beach complete w bar :)
We set up camp and head to restaurant
We arrived before dinner, started drinking, stayed for dinner and kept drinking. A couple of guys pulled up on KLRs and joined us for a few beers. I'm probably going to screw up where they're from, but I know Andy is from Canada and Dane I believe is a Kiwi that now lives in Australia. The two of them are riding from Canada to Costa Rica where they were meeting their girlfriends before flying home and shipping their bikes. Great guys.
As the beers stacked up the evening fades away and I find myself heading to bed early to sleep it off. Stellar day.
Last minute wind precautions
Goodnight Bahia de Sandflies

UPDATE - 6/30@4:20PM: Here's a review and photo gallery from Brooklyn Vegan.
UPDATE - 6/30@12:54PM: Some great video of song x with guest musician from last night's show (thanks Thomas P) along with some other takeaways from the show below the fold ...
UPDATE - 6/30@10:06AM: Here's gallery of photos from Cygnus-X1.net.
Date/Time: Monday, June 29th @ 8:00PM
Show Number: 23
Venue: Madison Square Garden
Place: New York, NY
Twitter: #R40NYC | #R40Live
Instagram: #R40NYC
YouTube: New York Rush R40 Live Tour
Setlist: Version F
Photos: Cygnus-X1.net | Brooklyn Vegan
Reviews: Brooklyn Vegan
UPDATE - 6/30@8:39AM: Clockwork Angels stringer Jonny Dinklage and his brother actor Peter Dinklage were at the show as seen in this side stage photo (thanks Kelly D).
UPDATE - 6/29@11:12PM: That's it for tonight and for the 2nd leg. Rush will return on July 9th in Kansas City. The NYC crowd saw the first appearance of the F setlist, and the 3rd ever appearance of that special song. Get the full setlist here. Good night New York!
UPDATE - 6/29@9:53PM: It looks like they are going with the A set for the 2nd half. So with the exception of the insertion of the special song in the first set, the show is following setlist A. Full setlist so far here.
UPDATE - 6/29@9:23PM: It's intermission time! Some discussion on the new F setlist and expectations for the second half below the fold.
UPDATE - 6/29@9:09PM: ... And there it is - the special song with the same guest musician from Saturday night's show in Newark.
UPDATE - 6/29@8:48PM: Setlist F! They are 5 songs in and we have a new setlist. It looks like they are playing a variation on the A/C set to complement the B-based set that was played in Newark. But they left out that 2nd song, which means we should get the special song with musical guest.
UPDATE - 6/29@8:27PM: The show has started and they are 2 songs in. They've been dropping the normal 2nd song to make room for that special song, and that's exactly what they did tonight. So it looks like we are getting some variation of the D/E set tonight as expected. Follow along with the setlist here.
UPDATE - 6/29@7:38PM: The show will be getting underway in a little over half an hour from now. We are still expecting that special song with the guest musician, with the rest of the set being a variation on A or C... or we could be totally wrong. :) Follow along with the setlist here. Hello New York!!
Rush makes their way to the Big Apple tonight to play Madison Square Garden in New York City for what stands to be another epic show to close out the 2nd leg of the R40 Live tour. They'll then take a well-deserved 11-day break and pick things back up on July 9th in Kansas City. The band returned to their standard 3-setlist rotation last week for the 3 shows following their stint in Toronto, and it was expected that they'd start the rotation over again by playing the A setlist in Newark Saturday night. But they instead decided to surprise everyone by playing a variation of their B setlist with one very special substitution - that same extra song they played in Toronto, but with a different guest musician. For all the details on this new E setlist, check out the SPOILERS in the Newark thread. So what will they have on tap for the New York crowd? Rumor has it that they will be playing that special song once again (likely with the same guest musician as Saturday night), but it's not clear whether they'll play the D, E or some other variation of the set. It's also possible that the band might pay tribute somehow to Yes bassist Chris Squire, who passed away over the weekend. For more discussion on the potential setlist along with a preview of the show, check out the pre-show SPOILER review below the fold. Tonight's show has an 8PM start time listed, so Rush will probably hit the stage at 8:15-ish. For everyone going to the show tonight, have fun, stay safe and be sure to share your reports, reviews, photos and video with us. Russhhhh!!!

One of our world's most stunning features, they cover more than 70 percent of the planet, comprise 99 percent of its habitable space, and house the greatest diversity of major plant, animal, and microbial species, from the simplest to the mightiest on earth.
Their importance to all life cannot be underestimated. Oceans regulate the climate, produce half of the earth's breathable oxygen, and are a huge source of food. For the one billion coastal humans who depend directly upon them, the oceans are life itself.
And because of some pretty careless industrial human activity, our oceans are in a lot of trouble right now.
We've made significant progress to turn the tide towards ocean conservation, but a lot more needs to be done in a short time. By working together, we can save the oceans.
The problems taxing the ocean are caused directly by what's available at the seafood counter. As demand for fish grows, destructive fishing and aquaculture continue to increase to meet the demand. We are working to change seafood choices made at a wholesale level by working with supermarket retailers to make sustainable seafood the only choice available. Read more
Tuna is one of the world's favorite fish. It provides a critical part of the diet for millions of people, as well as being at the core of the world's luxury sashimi markets. But, did you know that globally tuna stocks are under threat, or that the tuna industry is one of the main drivers behind the shark fin trade?/p>
Our appetite for tuna is pushing several species of sharks, turtles, and tuna closer and closer to extinction. As more and more people consume tuna there has been a surge in the number and capacity of tuna-fishing vessels across the world. Read more
A few countries, namely Japan, Norway and Iceland, continue to ignore a 1986 moratorium on commercial whaling—every year they kill thousands of whales to feed a black market of illegal whale meat.
For more than 40 years Greenpeace has been at the forefront of the fight to end this needless slaughter of one the most magnificent creatures on the planet. We are working to ensure that the Obama administration uses their diplomatic leverage to close the loopholes and end all commercial whaling. Read more
The waters of the Bering Sea-—between Alaska and Russia— are a rich marine environment that's home to a diverse array of wildlife. Polar bears, seals, sea lions, walruses, whales and millions of seabirds make their home here.
The Bering Sea is also one of the most productive fishing spots in the world. But, the fragile ecosystem cannot sustain this level of commercial fishing without paying a price. Read more
In order to protect the world's oceans, portions of it have to be left alone. A marine reserve is like putting a giant "Do Not Disturb" sign around an area of the ocean. These protected areas are so important to the future of our oceans—giving wildlife a safe haven free from danger.
We are working to convince governments and the United Nations that marine reserves are critical to the oceans' future. We are advocating for setting aside 40% of the world's oceans as marine reserves. Read more
