Such an approach is myeloablative chemoconsolidation with subsequent autologous SCT and results in prolonged progression-free survival. Side effects of rituximab are mainly fever and a depletion of normal B-cells. Therefore, these patients are candidates for novel treatment strategies, especially if risk factors like viagra zakup online B-symptoms or large lymph node masses are present. Recent studies attempt to remove malignant cells with immunomagnetic purging or combine high-dose chemotherapy with in vivo purging.
However, consistent data on overall survival are still lacking, and late side effects (secondary malignancies) represent an inherent risk of this approach.

The JW Q&A
After a three hour delay for what our pilot blithely referred to as a "catastrophic failure" of one of our brakes (how fortuitous to learn this before takeoff and not after!), my wife and I are finally on our way to California for a well-earned vacation. Watching flight attendants deal with frustrated passengers at 34,000 feet seems like a good time to spend a few minutes thinking about America's new cult hero, Steven Slater.
Said flight attendant responded to a rude passenger on his Jet Blue flight last week by cursing out the passengers over the loudspeaker system, grabbing a few beers, launching the emergency chute, and sliding his way to freedom (and, ultimately, Queens...why did it have to be Queens?).
Given that a song titled "Take This Job and Shove It" was a huge hit just a few years ago, I guess that in an America where many people feel like they're increasingly being asked to do more work for less money, it shouldn't be surprising that this man has captured the popular imagination. After all, most of us have, at one time or another, harbored a fantasy of telling people that we work for exactly what we think of them (and vice versa, I would imagine).
If Jimmy Carter could admit to lusting after women in his heart, the less "saintly" among us would be hard pressed to deny that we've had moments - or longer- of wanting to launch our own escape chutes from difficult jobs and letting the chips fall where they may.
But here's the thing. Of course we feel like Steven Slater did from time to time. But we don't do what he did. And that makes all the difference.
There is a wonderful rabbinic teaching that says lo hamahshava ha'ikkar elah ha'ma'a'seh... The thought is not the essence of the thing; the deed is.
The ancient rabbis long ago understood that trying to legislate how a person feels or what he thinks is a fruitless enterprise, and they were spot on correct. There is no sin involved in a sinful thought. The reality of sin only becomes a factor when one acts on those thoughts.
Whether one frames those impulses as the Freudian id or the rabbinic yetzer harah, they are part and parcel of the human condition. The healthy person has built-in checks and balances to counter those impulses. Steven Slater's weren't working too well thqt day. His five minutes of unfiltered, crude, and ill advised honesty may have gained him a few hundred thousand friends on Facebook, but they likely cost him his job, and more.
It takes a lot to be able to reign in the desire to tell people what's on your mind, and believe me, rabbis know that as well as anyone. But it's almost always a good idea to count to at least 100 before opening your mouth in anger. Elul is a good time to be mindful of that.
Rabbi Gerald C. Skolnik is spiritual leader of The Forest Hills Jewish Center, a Conservative congregation

So McMann and Tate was from Bewitched, but what about Stephens and Evans?
Maurice (Samantha's father) was played by Maurice Evans.
Evans is the author of the Luann comic.
Maurice Evans played the part of Maurice, Samantha's father.
Anyway, Susan would be a LOT smarter if she facilitated the takeover. The new folk will keep the real talent and shed the rest.
Serious question: do corporates in the USA have Christmas parties on Christmas Day? I mean, Susan should be able to do both on different days, no?
Most companies are closed on the 24th and 25th. Usually in a way to allow for a 4-day weekend. Company Christmas parties are rarely on the 24th, never on the 25th and definitely not if Christmas is a Sunday. Which just proves that Susan's boss is EVIL!!!
Ottodesu, Christmas is a national holiday so most businesses are closed. So the parties take place before hand.
Wow… in one fell swoop Susan proves she's even further into fantasy-land than Lemont is… No way the boss will ever recognize that she saved his company from a takeover; he'll assume it was because of some ineffectual action he took, and give himself a fat bonus as a reward.
Loved the Bewitched reference, just how old are you Mr. Bell?
Susan, not only should you go for it, girl, you should flush that hopeless Lemont out of your life.
You left out Dewey, Cheatham, and Howe.
The taking-over company probably wouldn't know real talent if it came to the door and showed ID. Either they will keeo those who fit their "company culture" without regard to talent, or they are buying Fitzhugh & Fitzhugh to take a tax loss and will run it into the ground.
Don't ask him that. If Lemont's any indication, Mr. Bell doesn't like his age.
I love the Stooges reference!! Go get em Susan.

What's funny is-I have never-not one time-heard a school administrator, or a parent, say a kid was "too poor" to run a 40 yard dash. Or "too poor" to shoot free throws, or get to practice or games. I have said this for years (and one reason I no longer teach), if we treated the students in the classroom the same way we treat them on the basketball court or football field, their performance would go up. Instead, we make excuses for continued ignorance-most of it voluntary.

[19] February 18, 2016 at 1:17pm
The GOP doesn't have a platform to NOT care for the poor. Quite the opposite-the GOP-the vast majority of us-don't want us perpetually KEEPING people poor. We also think it's mindless to pay someone more to stay poor, than to assist them in getting out of it. Prime example-child care is available to those going to school. Yet those funds disappear when that person gets a job-any job. It would make much more sense to gradually eliminate the benefit as their income increases, yet the way the system is set up, it would cost the parent MORE to get a job than to simply stay in school. THAT'S what is ridiculous. We help them get educated to get a job, then penalize them for actually getting it. Liberalism at its finest.
[67] February 17, 2016 at 2:50pm
What's surprising-and perhaps a bit telling about the collective IQ of the American public-is that those who demean and criticize Christians, will at the same time embrace Muslims. Last time I looked, Christians pose no threat-overt or otherwise-to anyone. To openly chastise a tolerant religion to coddle one known for violent intolerance is the height of stupidity.

Hmm, in criticizing the possibility of electing an openly Christian president, is Joy indicating that our current POTUS is not Christian? Despite his many protestations to the contrary? Interesting.

Not sure where you live, buy my experience has been the exact opposite. I've lived in KY, AL, TN and FL, and for the most part, the "rednecks" I know are exactly as Larry described. Are there some who are indeed racist? Sure. But for the most part, it seems the left likes to group everyone who lives in rural America as their definition of "redneck". I've also lived in Cincinnati and Cleveland, and run into far more racism in those cities. Odd how that works.

Funny thing-we already have a federal law banning automatic weapons. We also have a federal law banning heroin and cocaine (yet I'm sure Whoopi knows dozens of people who readily have both available). We also have a federal law banning illegal immigration. These federal laws have been soooo successful-and yet they feel another one on guns will magically solve all our problems. Delusional-just like every other lib I've ever met.

Some good points there, but we seem to do a poor job these days of teaching our kids appropriate behavior? This kid happens to be from Somalia (I really don't care), but ANY kid in that environment needs to learn appropriate responses. How many stories do we see ( or hear from our kids) of students treating teachers like garbage, and fighting in the classroom, with each other AND the teacher. I'll be the first to admit that the requirements for being a teacher are suspect (and ingrained in our system through the union), but they are supposed to be the authority figure in the classroom, and should be treated as such. Quite frankly, I'm all for a teacher who is assaulted to respond with beating the crap out of the offender, but that's just me.

While this story is tragic, it does reinforce one basic element of human beings, as well as human nature-people do stupid things. Some are stupid on paramount levels. When that happens-as it obviously did here-the current narrative is to blame it on something, or someone else. People need to take ownership of their own stupid actions.On a planet with a few billion people, millions make various degrees of stupid decisions on a daily basis-and pay the price for them. Obviously she did as well.

There is a lynchmob mentality among people, a bloodthirsty, barbaric trait that we can't seem to eradicate, even with all our political correctness and blind devotion to "peace". The sooner we can admit that-and address how to deal with it-the better off we'll be.

It is a threat. Let's face it-historically, Muslims as a rule do not "assimilate". They do not "blend", nor do they accept a role as simply a part of a society. In this case, they are using the laws and politically correct sensitivities of the US against us, and it's working. I'm not anti-Muslim, but the simple fact is, at this particular point in time, they pose the biggest threat to any western nation. I recall commercials for stockbrokers that were required to use the language, "past performance is not indicative of future results.", but in this case, past-as well as present-performance of the Muslim world is ENTIRELY indicative of future results. A bit of prevention and caution is nothing if not common sense.

The Lost Files – The Ultimate Web Design Questionnaire And Checklist (part 7 of 8)
← Build (6/8)41TOC52Launch (8/8) →63
Stage 7: Bug Test, User Test… Just Plain Test
Do you know anyone who enjoys quality assurance (QA)… besides QA people? Unfortunately, it is undervalued in the design and development process.
Bug Testing
Have you budgeted time for testing and fixing bugs? You'll never get it 100% the first time. Nothing's worse than developing right up to a deadline, launching in a rush and then seeing the website crumble immediately. Get people to test features as they are completed, and spend at least a few hours at the end making sure everything looks right and works right in every browser.
Is the client involved in testing? We often cringe when clients get involved in testing. They think of changes and new features and don't understand that the time for that has passed.
They also don't understand how to record bugs in a way that's understandable. Have you ever received a bug report like, "When I click on the 'Submit' button, it takes me to the wrong place"? Which "Submit" button? Where does it take you? What did you want it to do? What browser are you using? What were you doing before this happened? Run through all of the details you would need in a bug report, and set up a bug-tracking system that makes it easy for them.
They're getting impatient to launch, but they need to understand that testing leads to less user frustration. Spend a few minutes identifying specific things that you want them to test (in multiple browsers, of course); this will keep them busy.
Has a third party tested the design? Because you designed it and it makes sense to you, you know the user flow perfectly and would not stray from the path. So, if you're on a small team, swap roles with someone briefly so that you can test the areas you worked on the least.
Have you tested what happens in every scenario? What if I click something and then hit "Back"? What if I click buttons in a random order? You're an advanced user, but the real users won't be, so go wild. You don't need sophisticated test cases for small projects, but you might for bigger ones.
Are you testing browsers in proportion to the user base? You have already agreed on which browsers to support. Designers and developers mostly use new browsers and work hard to make their websites look as beautiful as possible in them. But if 70% of your users use older browsers, then you should spend 70% of your cross-browser testing time in those browsers. Graceful degradation and progressive enhancement are fine, as long as the client has agreed to them.
Quality Assurance Checklist
- Check your spec sheet against the current state of the website. Are the right browsers targeted? Is the target audience represented? Does the layout work at the maximum stipulated font size?
- Try to break the page. Have you covered every possible path that the user could take? Have you tested user paths in all supported browsers?
- Have you checked the quality of your JavaScript syntax against tools such as JSLint?
- Is the website usable without JavaScript or CSS?
- If you're using tools to track testing, have you explained to all testers how to record an issue?
- Is everyone clear about the difference between what's required for launch and what is "nice to have"?
- If it will be a big website with a lot of traffic, have you conducted some load tests?
User Testing
Conducting traditional user testing for small websites is usually not cost-effective. For bigger websites, it's a great way to see whether users do what you expect them to do, before you modify the design. You will be able to test different phrasings, button positions, user paths and more.Even if you don't have the resources for formal user testing, at least install analytics and some basic tracking on the website. There's also software that allows you to do simple A/B testing on a live website easily. Don't use too many, though: the scripts usually slow down websites. When the website is up, conduct a few informal user testing sessions to get solid feedback on the new website. Hearing a live person explain what they like or dislike about the website is much more valuable than trying to glean it from a bounce rate.
- Set up a bug-tracking system
- Test before launching
- Get others to test the design
- Leave enough time to fix big problems
- Test browsers in proportion to their usage rates
- Get the client involved in testing
- Include print and mobile style sheets
- Install some sort of tracking software
- Avoid installing 10 different tracking programs
- Optimize images and pages for fast loading
Testing Checklist
- Have you chosen which pages to test?
- Have you prepared a list of things you need feedback on?
- Have you chosen a method for capturing data (for example, eye movement, mouse movement, voice recording, etc.)?
- Have you set parameters for the decisions you make based on the data?
- Does the user have enough legitimate data on the test website to work with?
- If you're updating a website, have you decided whether to test former users, new users or both? Do you have different tasks for each group?
- After testing and making changes, have you retested?

Can any reasonable and civilized government just stand by and do nothing when a dictatorial Middle Eastern government uses such horrors as chemical warfare upon its own people? Does such inaction then not encourage such actions in the future? Or, even worse, encourage such dictatorships to use even worse biological weaponry, or worst of all eventually, even nuclear weaponry? Of course, this would then depend upon whether or not Assad and his military had actually used chemical weapons or not. Admittedly, the truth of this would have to be very great, or military action of any kind would be unwarranted!!
God help us all…
Can any reasonable and civilized person stand by and do nothing when someone intends them, or their family, harm? If you listen to the government, they should. Why should foreign policy be different?
Who 's inserting themselves to save us from the fatal fundamental change we're going through?

Some Eastern Conference teams may be in for a surprise when they are matched up against the Philadelphia 76ers in round one of the NBA Playoffs.
The Sixers are a team that no one is talking about heading into the playoffs. They are a young team that is playing very well together.
They are playing their best basketball when it matters most—late in the season.
Since Jan. 22, the Sixers are 17-7. That is one of the best records in the league.
During its current stretch, Philly has shown it can play with, and beat, quality playoff teams. Wins over the Knicks, Hawks, Spurs, Celtics and Nuggets should prove that the Sixers can compete.
Here is a list of how the Sixers match up against the Eastern teams, and if they can prevail or not.

Now homemade pickling is making a comeback, and it's chefs (not your grandma) who are today's best pickling practitioners. Whether it's thanks to a boom in farmers' markets, an appreciation for "slow foods" or simply not wanting to waste food, homemade pickling is a welcome return–your average store-bought pickles pale in comparison to the crunchy, bright qualities of the real dill.
Kimchi from Korea, umeboshi (pickled plum) from Japan, giardiniera from Italy, pickled watermelon rind from the American South–chefs relish the world's pickles. "Pickles add a spicy or sweet-and-sour note to smoked fish, roasted meats, and other foods with a lot of fat," says chef Daniel Orr of FARMbloomington in Bloomington, Indiana. Orr employs a quick pickle on everything from ramps to fiddlehead ferns, quail eggs to okra, which he uses in the restaurant's version of the bloody Mary, the tequila-based Prairie Mary. "They cleanse the palate, and you don't get that with fresh vegetables," says Orr.
A few of my favorite pickle dishes around the country:
FARMbloomington/Bloomington, Indiana: Tequila Bloody Mary with pickled okra
Boat Street Cafe/ Seattle: Pickle plate with Padron pepper, chanterelle, Sungold cherry tomato, and breakfast radish
Five and Ten/ Athens, Georgia: Pickled okra, peach, and green tomato
Source/ Washington, D.C.: Warm Maine lobster and pickled daikon roll
Myers + Chang/ Boston: Asian pickle plate with kimchi, watermelon radish, and carrot
Brasa/ Minneapolis: Pork sandwich with carrot and onion pickles
And a few of my favorite artisanal pickle makers:
—Rick's Picks
—McClure's Pickles
—Farmer's Daughter
—Boat Street Pickles
And one of my favorite pickle recipes (from Daniel Orr of FARMbloomington):
Pickled Spring Onions with Balsamic and Red Wine
(Makes approximately 60 onions)
60 red or white spring onions (larger than scallions)
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
3 cups red wine
5 clove garlic- lightly crushed
1 tablespoon peppercorns
1 tablespoon salt
1 bay leaf
2 fresh thyme sprigs
Clean the onions by removing root ends and outer skin. Wash in plenty of room temperature water. Set aside.
Caramelize the sugar to a fairly dark caramel. Break the caramel with the vinegar and wine and stir to dissolve.
Add the garlic, herbs, salt and spices and simmer about 10 minutes. Add the onions and cook and additional 8-10 minutes or until al dente. Cool to room temperature and store refrigerated.

Dogs, horses, lions, mostly, are the heads I have the joy of placing properly in gardens. Don't I have the best career ever?
Heads-up, these dogs, are looking in the correct direction.
If you have a pair of heads in your garden, their correct placement is most often, above.
Oddly, irritates me no end driving thru neighborhoods and seeing heads facing that grand morass-muddle-chaos of the great beyond termed The Public. Wouldn't you rather give a lion's ass to the public? Don't give the power of your garden away, facing heads the wrong way. It's your life, joy, beauty. Beauty. There is a garden design secret I discovered about Beauty. Designing your garden to be beautiful from every window of your home, yes every window, creates beauty in the opposite directions too.
Got heads? Getting heads? Think it thru.

How To Garden with Dogs
Listen to the dog!
Where do they run, lay, dig?
Have drawn dozens of gardens with a running path at the fence, shrubs/groundcovers/trees placed where the dog lets me place them.
Only 1 dog exasperated me, & her owner, I created 'cross' paths where the sweet hellion ran. That garden is on the cover of 1 of my books. Proof, the biggest challenges make the best gardens.

Gardening With Dogs
Georgia red clay, white dog, below, and a contractor
Garden & Be Well, XO Tara
How to landscape with dogs? Pay attention to their habits & assume every plant is toxic. Where a dog runs, digs, lays rarely changes. Incorporate it into the design. Toxic plants? I worry more about little sticks or rocks being eaten and twisting the intestines. If azaleas, camellias and hydrangeas, along with native plants, were extremely toxic the South would be known for a lot of dead dogs. Hence, use plants long known to be used with dogs in the yard.

(Through Tonight) Issued at 315 AM CDT Wed Oct 26 2016 TSRA ongoing ahead of approaching cdfnt continue to move ewd this morning. These shud continue ewd after sunrise and gradually weaken thru the morning as low level forcing weakens. With a relative lull in activity expected thru early afternoon, expect TSRA to become more widespread, mainly across nern portions of the CWA as low level forcing increases again. There may also be some redevelopment of SHRA along the actual cdfnt as it pushes swd, but do not expect much coverage and precip shud be light. Precip shud move out of the area this evening as the fnt continues to move swd thru the area. Expect any precip to dissipate/move out of the area by Midnight tonight. As for temps, trended twd the warmer guidance today. Current temps, even within areas of rain, are still in the mid to upper 60s. With the precip breaking up today, expect temps to warm into the 70s, at least across the srn half of the CWA. Trended twd the warmer guidance tonight across about the srn half of the CWA, while trending cooler across the north. Tilly .LONG TERM... (Thursday through Tuesday) Issued at 315 AM CDT Wed Oct 26 2016 Surface ridge to build into the region on Thursday with temperatures closer to normal, in the 60s, and skies clearing out by afternoon. Surface ridging doesn`t last long though and begins to shift to the southeast Thursday night. This will allow warm southerly winds to return for the first half the weekend. Highs on Friday will be 10 to 15 degrees above normal, in the low 70s to low 80s. Models are a bit slower with next frontal boundary now, with it not moving into northern portions of forecast area til Saturday afternoon due to flattening of upper level ridge. So highs will be well above normal once again, in the mid 70s to low 80s. With little in the way of moisture with this front, it will be a dry frontal passage. Front will take its time moving through forecast area, eventually stalling out over southern Missouri by Sunday night. Then boundary washes out, allowing weak surface ridging to build in, as well as, breezy south to southwest winds, so will have above normal temperatures for the trick or treaters Monday evening, after daytime highs in the mid to upper 70s. Some timing issues among the extended models beyond Monday as next system approaches region late Monday night. Some indication of front stalling out over region and lifting back north as a warm front on Tuesday. Kept mention of showers and storms for portions of forecast area Tuesday afternoon.

MVFR visibilities appear possible with this activity. Front should move through KCOU and KUIN by mid/late afternoon and through the metro terminals by late evening. Winds will veer to the west/northwest behind this boundary with ceilings also lowering into MVFR. SPECIFICS FOR KSTL: VFR conditions still expected through early Wednesday afternoon. Scattered to numerous showers with embedded thunderstorms should affect the terminal roughly between 2000 UTC and 2300 UTC. Front should clear the terminal by late evening.

If you want to see the HD channels listed in the Limited Basic lineup you are going to need the HD DTA. Unfortunately not everyone can get these yet. I am still waiting for these to become available where I live.
I was in the same boat. I had to put the new box. They do have HD boxes now...
I looked closely... HD Channels with Basic Cable are included but HD channel numbers are different.

Hi there,
This is my first post on this community. The reson I am in is that the quality of cable TV is soooo low.
I am only watch SD and they charge more for HD .. its shocking ...
I'm still under 30 day return money ... I am asking for my money back from comcast ..
Pathetic !!!
Disappointer Comcast Customer!!!
The DTA only supports downstream communication, so this box does not allow Comcast to collect any information as to what you are watching.
edpeters wrote: ... I beleive that most (if not all) local network staions that broadcast in HD, also broadcast in SD (so their local non HD TV viewers can see their signal)..
Ed, I don't think so. Checking my local stations in Wikipedia, the listed subchannels agree with what I see OTA, and none of them duplicate their HD subchannels on an SD subchannel. There's an SD version on the Comcast coax line, but that's Comcast's doing, not the station's. Are you really seeing this with your local stations?
As to §76.1904, I literally don't know what to make of it. The wording of that rule is something only a lawyer could love.
Good point, but I checked into my locals and since going all digital, they're broadcast in HD with no corresponding SD channel....that being the case, I still wonder if the Comcast retransmission in SD only is against the regulation 76.1904.

I just unplugged our DTA and went staight to the wall and voila!! Beautiful HD clarity!!!! I had to do a channel search via the autoprogramming tool on the tv (took about 20 minutes) and I only have a few channels (all the major networks plus a few local channels) - but these are SOOOOO Much better than the crappy channels we were getting via the DTA.
I pay a TON of money to Comcast at my primary residence (over $250 per month for everything they offer in 4 different rooms). But we also have a vacation home where we just have basic cable. It's in a condo that has a large number of elderly people as well. Many of these folks have very nice TVs, but about 6 weeks ago, comcast came in and told everyone they had to have the DTA box or they "wouldn't have channels anymore" (a lie). Most of these folks do not understand they can just use an antennae or go straight to the wall to get nice pretty pictures on their new HDTVs.
But I am so glad to be able to watch football and basketball and a couple network shows without everyone looking super wide or watching 4:3 screen on a widescreen TV (my only two choices with DTA - oh wait, I could juse the "zoom" function but then no one has the top of their head). Lol......

Wanted to give everyone an update. After fighting Comcast (calling 4 times) over this HD Technology Fee that I should not be paying (since I only have Limited Basic), I decided to call and cancel my service.
Miraculously, the person doing my cancellation was able to finally remove the HD Technology Fee from my account, refund me all the months that I've been charged for it (since January) and put in my account the $3 rental fee for the HD cable box which is the correct amount.
So at last, I'm getting charged the right amount, it only took 10 months, 4 calls to customer service and 1 call to the cancellation department.
My score on Comcast's customer service? F-
I wish I could get my local channels over the air
720 is considered HD. 480 is considered SD.
An HD box would be needed to get any 720 or 1080 picture outputs.
One link that may help http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/720p
Can some one please explain the difference between 480 and 720? Is 720 considered SD? I get 480 def coming directly through the comcast standard cable boxes? The picture is ridicoulously poor before we were required to have boxes on each television.
All of these topics are discouraging to the basic cable consumer. COMCAST=CONTROL.
Shame om comcast!! The FCC really needs to revise these regulations. Just call Dish or Direct TV.

They should not charge you with a HD technoly fee or fee for transmitting HD signals. It says so on the comcast webpage: http://www.comcast.com/Clu/ChannelLineUp
Qoute: "HDTV broadcast signals are included with subscription to Limited Basic Service".
If you get anything higher then this limited basic service then you do pay a HD service fee.
Quote: "To receive Expanded Basic, Digital Preferred Tier, Sports Entertainment Package or Premium HDTV signals, a subscription to that service and subscription to HD Technology fee is required."
Call comcast and make sure you don't pay $9.95 too much. Good luck.
--The short story--
I live in North West NJ and I have Limited Basic. They sent me a DTA which made the picture look terrible on my HDTV. I ended up keeping the Limited Basic service but they tagged on a $9.95 "HD Technology Fee" so that I could get my local channels on HD.
--The long story--
First I called the 800 number to ensure that I could get HD channels by just getting an HD box and paying the HD box rental ($3). The person who spoke with me said that this was correct, I could either get the box shipped to me (for a fee) or I could go to my local Comcast office and pick it up. When I first went to pick up the HD box, the person at the Comcast office tried up upsell me to a Digital Started plan for much more money, after insisting that I didn't want to upgrade my plan and that HD would work with the Limited Basic, she let me go home with the HD box.
Just to be sure she didn't upgrade my service, I called the 800 number as soon as I got home, and sure enough, she added the Digital Starter package. I wasn't happy to say the least...
I am also unable to get OTA channels with an antenna so this is my only option. $13 for limited basic + $9.95 for the HD Technology Fee.
I'm glad someone understands how the game works. It's corporate greed and monopolization. Which is supposed to be illegal in th U.S. Unfortunately the government is run by corporations who donate to political parties in return for bills and laws getting passed or dismissed that favor said corporations.
That said, I tried setting up a large antenna in my attic but only got one channel, and that was spotty reception too. Not sure if there's too many trees or what. I'm about 45 miles from the transmission stations. Any thoughts?

In what market? Not in mine, where a QAM TV can still receive all of Limited Basic without a box (for the moment).
And where is our government who is supposed to be representing and protecting us on all of this? Oh yes, they are the ones who mandated this mess in the first place...
The FCC required broadcast stations to switch to digital -- there is no "mandate" for cable systems. Comcast's decision to inflict digital signals and encryption on us was its own.
Actually, as of 6/25/2012, a DTA (or whatever the correct term is) box is required for all TVs, including digital, to receive any station via Comcast cable. With their box you will not receive any HD programming - not even local network stations.
So the way comcast has it you: 1. must pay extra monthly fee plus a converter box rental for each tv in your house if you want to view HD content of local network stations 2. the DTA box is old tech from 30 years ago - put your tv on channel 4 in order to receive anything just like vcr's were back in the 80's. So much for HD displays and digital tuners in your tv sets. 3. you are buying a Digital HD TV with a tuner that you will neve use with comcast - you must use their box (which is a tuner) so you might as well have bought a monitor only, like what you buy for a computer.
Why are millions of people buying TVs with tuners to only use cable boxes that replace the tuners? Oh yes, so cable companies can charge for what you could get for free over the air with an antenna.
The problem is that there are too many people who will just live with it rather than deal with switching to an antenna or some other alternative to cable tv. We also have the situation now where, when people get their fill of a product/service and switch to some other company's product/service the same number of people switch from that service to the one you just left. There is no net loss to any of these companies so they have no incentive to change. Its all just "industry standard" pricing and practices that will not change as long as people only switch back and forth between the same players in the industry.
And where is our government who is supposed to be representing and protecting us on all of this? Oh yes, they are the ones who mandated this mess in the first place...
Just thought I would provide an update to my particular situation in case it helps. My issue was resolved by an onsite service technician, who quickly detected that there was an old filter at the outside box, and that was causing an issue with channel availability. (I won't get into all the hoops I jumped to isolate the issue before that. Suffice it to say, the onsite technician was very capable and pleasant.)
Your only alternative is to put up an antenna, or get a full HD cable box from Comcast with the additional
monthly fee.
HD DTA's are in the lab being tested, there is no date on any deployments as a cheaper way to receive any encrypted HD limited basic channels.
I also agree with Jagerwolf. I am now receiving a downgrading product for my money. As mentioned by Jagerwolf, I am no longer receiving my local channels in HD. I now am forced to watch every thing in 4:3 aspect ration (which is annoying when I paid for a nice HDTV ... aka 16:9) and I can no longer use my TV's remote control to control what I watch. I am VERY displeased with what is taking place.
Why is this change happening and why is it negatively impacting the product I now receive?
Are there any CURRENT alternatives that will give me back (atleast) my local channels in HD?
Is there any way to make the signal I receive work in 16:9 without stretching the picture? We are now past SDTV guys!
Disappointed Comcast Customer
Yes, I am with jwolf on this one. I am in the far SW outskirts of the Chicago area. I have two sony TVs with built in QAM tuners. My basic service worked great without a DTA and received HDTV stations straight from the cable. They cut over the system to all digital earlier this month, and sent me DTAs which seriously downgraded the quality of the service. That does not even count the time and aggravation getting them to activate. Now I am getting 1990's analog quality on my 2011 vintage sets. I am packing up the DTAs and cancelling my Comcast service on Monday. I would rather pay nothing for nothing than $60/month for poor quality service.
BTW Nice that their customer service is 24x7 but you have to call 9a-5p M-F to cancel your service.
In order to receive all HD channels on your existing HD package you need a full HD cable box from Comcast along with paying for the HD technology fee each month.
DTA's will get you most of the digtal starter channels in SD.
Hooking up any recent clearQAM HDTV might get you your limited basic tier including HD local network TV stations depending on the system. Some cable systems are encrypting everything including limited basic so nothing will tune in on a TV connected directly to the coax. There are some systems that you can get clearQAM limited basic, but no gurantee of any of those channels in HD, only SD.
Each system or market area will be doing things differently, some are encrypting, some dont, some have HD locals, some don't.
Your only guarantee of getting all your channels in HD is with a HD cable box, paying for HD service, and hooking the HD box to your TV with HDMI or component cables.
You are right. Customer service no help. I'm one of the lucky ones who have a competing cable company in my location. Will not miss all the aggravation Comcast has put me through.
I have limited basic cable and just purchased a digital tv, but without a QAM tuner. Perhaps I need to exchange it to avoid the necessity of the DTA. I ordered DTAs from xfinity but have not completed the installation process yet. There's small print on the xfinity letter stating that access to HD channels requires an HD set-top box. QAM tuner TVs will continue to receive limited basic channels (channel ranges were listed) without a digital device. So, as best I can tell, if I have a QAM tuner TV or DTA device, I will get certain limited basic channels. However, it's looking like I won't get them in HD? With the new digital tv, the only HD signal that I seem to be receiving is the local PBS station. Local ABC, CBS, NBC are coming in at SD. That was a little disappointing. Thanks in advance for any further insights.
There was nothing wrong with crkunselman post. I am still going to answers his/her post. There is no way to get around a DTA or it would of been posted on google. What I mentioned is not really a way around it. It is still an inconvenience to record-when recording I can't use that tv.
I replaced one of my 3 way splitters with a 2 way and that seemed to do the trick.. Thanks guys..
I would also say you can probably get a splitter from comcast for free. I would also agree you might as well have the newest rated splitters capable of 1g. But if i was a betting man i would say it is more likely a case of too many splits rather than a 900mhz splitter.
I can't be sure since i am not sure about your actual cable plant but most cable systems are not 900mhz.
Two things. The splitter should be replaced with one that will pass at least 1 MGhz. I have gotten them straight from Comcast for no charge in the past. Would be an investment for your internal cable setup to have the latest for any provider you may choose. Your choice.
Also Comcast does sometimes change the frequencies of stations around so people using straight connections from the wall need to rescan for channels every once in a while.
@Andre, when I was talking with the Tech that came out to my home Saturday, he was mentioning that bad splitters and even bad connectors can hinder signal. So yeah, it could be your splitter, or it could be the connectors. If the connectors were self-installed with cheap tools, it might be a problem.
I wouldn't invest too much time/effort into fixing this though. As was mentioned, they're going to be scrambling your signal soon.
If I were you I'd call Uverse and see if they have any special packages to offer to "entice" you to switch from Comcast. You might get a better deal.
Interesting to know, Grday. I was indeed picking up a couple of HD channels with this antenna, but it wasn't enough channels to warrant keeping it hooked up.
for now it works, so i will take advantage of it until they do the switch over. So does anyone know whats causing my problem? At that time I will move to another provider like ATT UVERSE...
Over the Antenna should be able to get HD signals. (Note even an old tv antenna is cable of getting HD signals.) The HDTV antenna was just a marketing tool, plus it gave them an excuse to price it higher.
I cant post a diagram on this system. My drawing would look horrible.
Line in--DTA A---------Splitter------------------------------TV 1
Line in--DTA A---------Splitter---------A&B switchbox---TV 2
Line in--DTA B---------VCR 1---------A&B switchbox----TV 2
Line in--DTA C---------VCR 2---------TV3
DTA=Digital Transport Adapter.
1=Room One
2=Room Two
3=Room Three
I have 3 dta & 3 tvs and 2 vcrs. I was going to do the above set up but figured out a different way.
Line in--DTA A---------Splitter------------------------------TV 1
Line in--DTA A---------Splitter----------VCR 1 rf input, VCR audio/video output-to TV 2 audio/video input.
Line in--DTA B---------VCR 1-----------TV 2
Line in--DTA C---------VCR 2---------TV3
DTA=Digital Transport Adapter.
1=Room One (Bed room)
2=Room Two (TV Room)
3=Room Three (Computer Room)
On this set up. All I have to do is go to room one, and set in the channel I want to record. Then go back to room 2 and set the tv on input, turn on the vcr. Turn the vcr itself to channel 3. Then set the time to recorded. Then I hit input or switch the tv back to channel 3 or 4. When watching it through the input it will be a little dim but the recording comes out fine. Note if newer tv. Use the game video & audio input. The newer video/audio input may not work. Then I can watch tv in the TV room, while the VCR is recording off of the Bedroom dta. Yes, I know I could put the vcr in the bed room. We like to watch are tapes in the tv room. Plus there is no room for the vcr in the bed room.
The problem is you have to manually change the dta, to recorded another program on a different station. That kind of hard to do when you are asleep or gone.
I tried that. Bought this antenna from Amazon. It was like $42 at the time. Hooked it up and only a few channels worked. But the channels that did work looked gorgeous. I miss having HD
The transmitter towers are like 30-40 miles away from me, plus I have some trees around me. It's a good thing I don't watch TV hardly at all.
I wish the FCC would not have de-regulated this mess.
Could always use an OTA antenna for the OTA HDs and just use the DTA for the standard def channels...
Bruce and Andre -
This doesn't solve the problem that the DTAs are causing. Comcast is planning to encrypt the signals so even running straight into the TV or switch box will not allow you to get the HD channels that you once got for free (without the DTA boxes). Comcast owns us... there's nothing you can do.
So here is my dilema..
I'm wondering if I have too many splitters or if its because one of my splitters is only rated to 900MHz...
I have the cable feed going straight into my TV so I can watch the HD channels, 5.1,7.1, etc.. sometimes I loose some of the HD digital signals like 7.1 will work, but 5.1 will not. So yesterday I moved the tv so the line was shorter and there was one less spltter in the line. all of the HD signals worked great.. So what could be causing that? Bad signal strength or the splitters or both?
grday wrote: ... I am able to record one program & watch a different programs at the same time. ...
Interesting. Could you describe how to do this? Maybe post a diagram?
There is a way around the vcr issue. It is a pain but it works. I use 3 dta (Since I am allowed that many without any extra fees). I thought I was going to have to use a a/b switch box but I set it up differently. There are a couple problems with that but I am able to record one program & watch a different programs at the same time. It did take some time to figure it out. My writing maybe horrible but I am excellent on configuration.
.....I call this TRIPE......No one on Basic cable. Can afford to: upgrade Tv. from analog to digital, vcrs, dvd/dvr, I will be forced to make some budgetary downsizing...cable, internet, phone, NONTHING?
Thank you for this post. It cleared up several of my questions. After I hooked up 3 DTAs in my house I noticed that I no longer received several of the local HD channels (5-1, 29-1). I called the customer service rep who said it was a signal problem and spent 15 minutes trying various fixes. With no results, she transfered me to a "technician" who said that I had to upgrade to receive the HD channels. When I complained that I had received them "just fine" before connecting the DTAs and demanded to know why their "upgraded" service now left me with no HD -and- a substantially poorer quality picture, he responded: "We're very sorry that you are disappointed by the new service." That was the extent of it. Comcast, shame on you. I had bought a new TV with a crisp clear picture which (because of the DTA) looks about as clear as my 20 year old TV. I'm so angry I can't see straight!
Just as an update, had a tech come out today and he said there was no trap on the line, so he tested some signals and figured he'd better run a new line from the street to the house.
Weird thing is, he ran it on the ground and put in an order for a contractor to come bury it later this week.
The good news is we have good signal on our DTA boxes and have Television again. Albeit sans HD :/
Thanks for your help here.
Awesome. That's what I needed to hear. Yes, we're on limited basic. But we've always run it straight from the wall to the TV and used to get local HD channels.
I remember when they came and put a filter on the line outside at the street. Long ago we used to get a few stray channels in HD like ESPN and such. I'll give them a call. However, I already know how it's going to go down. They're going to tell me to hook up the DTAs, then when they don't work to wait 30-45 minutes and give them a call back. They always give me the same run around.
Also, do you know of any direct lines to get to a CSA instead of having to spend 10 minutes going through the touch-tone recorded messages?
I assume you are on limited service.
You need to call them and tell them to remove the limited basic filter or trap from the pole. So, you can activate your dtas. If that doesn't work, you will have to switch to antenna if you are close to Houston.
I'm in Houston, 77066 area, basic subscriber, and just lost signal last night as well. Tune to channel 2 and it say's "All comcast subscribers must use a DTA box..." or something to that effect.
I had been getting all local channels in SD and HD straight out of the wall into the TV with no problem for a long time until last summer. Then they cut all the digital and HD channels and just allowed SD channels. They sent us some DTA boxes but they didn't even work. The screen constantly says "your service has been inturrupted. It should be restored shortly..." but it never does. Even after trying to activate the DTA several times.
Spoke with a CSR the other night while trying to activate the boxes and told her the above. She said "There's no way you could get HD straight out of the wall." I laughed.
I hope they do something to fix this quick. It's irritating having to take half a day to deal with this with no results.
Its not a cable, its the box, I can fix it in 5 mineuts by REMOVING comcast's DTA... ... put the DTA on.... crappy signal.. take the DTA off.... fine signal... tried 3 differet DTA's on 2 different TV's by 2 different manfacuters .. sorry its Comcast. And I'm not the only one on these message boards who have experience this with the comcast supplied DTAs.
Also .. as an aside, last night all local HD channels went off air for 2 min, when they came back ABC, CBS, NBC, WB ect (all the local HD channels) were replaced with PBS is HD... I rescanned twice, and the local stations are gone.. apparently encrypted.
Tell me THAT wasnt' on purpous...
grday wrote..That not necessarily Comcast as I found out. First make sure you have new type of coax. If using a splitter make sure it goes up to 1000 mhz (950 mhz may work in some areas). Sometimes you get what is called a 4 box screen (Bar at the side & at the top & at the bottom) . That is the station or the station's network not Comcast. I confirmed this with the PBS station. They gave me a technical reason why it was doing that. They said last fall they are going to work on this but haven't yet.
And my PBS station's broadcast engineer said they only send out the coding for start of program, end of program, and aspect ratio. I have seen programs start out on PBS and a few broadcast channels that start out full screen and then switch over to the "windowbox" picture (black bars on all 4 sides). Sometimes they go back to normal. I can watch a repeat of that same show on the same channel later in the day or that week and no windowbox picture. Sometimes I can switch channels and the picture goes back to the original aspect. From what I have read this apparently happens when a SD signal is sent coded for a 16:9 ratio and somehow gets read as a 16:9 ratio, then 4:3 ratio, then again as a 16:9 ratio ( I will need to double check this to make sure I have this correct)
It could be the broadcast station or it could be the AGC on Comcast's system or a combination of both. My local phone company was trying to sell me on their video service. During their demostration at their office I noticed the same picture. I asked them about that. The lady said that was not right and they needed to adjust settings on their equipment.
And I see what jagerwolf said about not being able to see the whole screen on tvs that don't have boxes. Can even see a difference on the SD box when it looks like they are putting the HD feed on the SD channel also. I have to agree that the signal seems to need to go through a HD box so that the box settings for native aspect ratio can be used. Or if there is a way for them to send the SD signal to SD channels and HD to HD channels then it might be getting messed up.
When I then plug in teh DTA provided by comcast, Signal quality goes to down, aspect ratio goes to down, can't see the whole screen. Its not my TV it happens to all three TV's in the house. Its the DTA's provided by comcast.

Drawing is a form of visual art that makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium. Instruments used include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoal, chalk, pastels, various kinds of erasers, markers, styluses, various metals (such as silverpoint) and electronic drawing.
Despite their apparent similarity, keyboard instruments of different types require different techniques. The piano hammer mechanism produces a louder note the faster the key is pressed while the harpsichord's plectrum mechanism does not perceptibly vary the volume of the note with different touch on the keyboard.
Dance is a type of art that generally involves movement of the body, often rhythmic and to music. It is performed in many cultures as a form of emotional expression, social interaction, or exercise, in a spiritual or performance setting, and is sometimes used to express ideas or tell a story.
A person's writing created with a writing utensil such as a pen or pencil. The term encompasses both printing and cursive styles and is separate from formal calligraphy or typeface.

The Buffalo Sabres dropped their third straight contest on Sunday, and did it without top scorer Thomas Vanek because of a muscle strain. The forward suffered the strain in the second period of the team's home game against Carolina on Friday night. Vanek temporarily left the contest, but later returned in the third period.

"I hit it and then I saw the right fielder moving more towards left field," said Flack, a sophomore from Forest City (N.C.). "I got past second and didn't want to slide past third. The adrenalin was just running.
"When the pitch went past the catcher, I got a real bad start off third base. I knew that I had to slide and that's what did it. I got my hand on the outside corner of the plate."
OSU coach Pat Casey, perhaps trying to ease the sting of the 4-3 loss with Paterson and several other players seated beside him at the post-game press conference, referred to Flack's heroics as just a result of a pitching "mistake."
But Casey's statement was far from the truth.
"I looked up at the replay after he slid into third and saw the pitch that he hit – that was a tough pitch to even foul off, much less hit down the line," UNC coach Mike Fox said. "But Chad has been getting big hits for us since he stepped on campus, so that doesn't surprise me what he did there."
Earlier this month, Flack capped his stellar run through the second half of the regular season with homers in back-to-back at-bats which lifted Carolina past Alabama on June 10 in the Tuscaloosa Super Regional.
His dramatic ninth-inning blast flew high over the wall in right field and sent the Tar Heels to Omaha in their first trip to the CWS since 1989.
So when is a triple better than a four-bagger? When it puts your team within one game of its first NCAA baseball title in school history.
"Tonight was better," Flack said. "Definitely, tonight."
After a 4-for-4 effort Saturday, Flack has five consecutive hits going back to the win over Cal State Fullerton on Wednesday. The CWS record for consecutive hits is eight. He matched a career-best effort with his four hits pushing his total to 109 hits on the year.

My first gum paste teacup. I followed the tutorial at SugarTeachers by Jacque Benson. The violets were printed on wafer paper (because I can't paint to save my life ? lol) and highlighted with petal dust to soften the cut edges. I am very pleased...
