"	They get these extreme voices on that have this kind of hostile toward the West viewpoints towards the world, very extremist. These are the people that they have on. And when I was on the anchor desk, they would instruct you to egg on these guests and try to get them, you know, rallied up, to really fire off their anti-American talking points. Listen, I'm all about exposing government corruption. I'm all about being critical of the government. But this is different. This is promoting the foreign policy of somebody that has just invaded a country, has invaded the country and is then lying about it, is using the media as a tool to fulfill his foreign policy interests. And RT is part of Putin's propaganda network and it's very, very troubling in the wake of what is going on in Ukraine today.[23]	"
Philo does lack the comprehensive app and device support of its rivals. For a long time only Roku, iOS devices, and the Chrome browser were supported, but the service came to the Apple TV and Amazon Fire TV devices in July 2018. Philo claims even more devices are on the way, but for now, the truncated device support is a drawback. That said, if you have a supported device and don't mind skipping sports and the big networks (or can find them with an antenna), Philo is the most affordable way to get live TV. For more on the service, check out our Philo guide.
These services offer the network TV channels you crave: ESPN, AMC, TBS, and a whole lot more. You can subscribe to premium channels like HBO through these same services (they're usually available as add-ons for a set price), and you'll also get major broadcast networks like ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC – though the catch with those four is that they'll be available in select markets only. The major skinny bundles also offer a mix of regional sports networks (in their relevant markets only), meaning you may be able to cancel cable and still watch your favorite local professional and college sports teams.
If you want a power upgrade from the ClearStream 2V, there's the ClearStream 4. The mantra with this antenna is simple: bigger is better. Because of that, the range is bumped up to 70 miles and the antenna is 4K-ready out of the box. Unfortunately, that will make setup a bit harder because of the bigger size, but given its improved performance over its counterpart, that definitely makes up for it.
In 2018 some of the RT staff started a new media project Redfish.media that positions itself as "grassroots journalism".[82] The website has been criticized by an activist Musa Okwonga for deceptively taking an interview from him and then distributing it across RT channels while hiding its real affiliation.[83] Another similar project is In the NOW started in 2018.[84]
Local major network affiliates have their own transmitters, so it's likely that your area gets channels like ABC, CBS, Fox, and NBC free over the air – and that's not to mention other common over-the-air channels like PBS and Univision. How many channels are available and how big of an antenna you'll need to pick them up will vary by region, but getting the answers to these questions is pretty simple. Check out our free over-the-air TV explainer and our complete guide to choosing an antenna and getting free HDTV over the air for more important information. There's a reason that this is the classic solution to the problem of how to watch local channels without cable or satellite.
Playon allows you to stream a wide variety of video sources to your TV via a connected device. If you already pay for and you're fine with Netflix, Hulu and a couple of others you get through your Blu-ray player, you're probably fine without Playon. But Playon would allow you to stream TV shows from networks, some cable networks, and a bunch of other places that you might not be able to otherwise (unless you regularly hook your laptop up to the TV).
You probably want amplification, unless you're living next door to the local broadcast tower. They don't make the signal stronger coming in the house; they make an already low signal strong enough for the TV tuner to use. Even some of the flat antennas have amplification options; but amplification ups the cost. Setup is easy, but you'll have to play with the antenna position to maximize reception—just like fiddling with rabbit ear antennas in the 1970s. Some outdoor antennas can work from inside if they're up high—say in your attic—if there isn't a lot of obstruction.
I currently pay 263.00 per month for cable,internet and home phone. I don't even use the home phone because I have my cell phone for everything.I tried to get the Cable company to take the phone off my plan thinking it would be cheaper but to my surprise my monthly bill would have increased even more. With that said, tomorrow I'm canceling my C*X Cable Service and going with HULU. The only other thing I have to pay for is the High Speed Internet connection. I think paying that much for television is ridiculous and I have been paying this for the last 4 years and I'm done..It's not worth it and it's a rip off plain & simple. I researched many articles on cutting the cord but thanks to this site and it members, I have been convinced and sold. Thank You for the honest article and comments.
We think it's worth the upgrade to the Hopper though, because along with all the other awesome Hopper features, DISH has integrated Amazon Alexa voice commands into its DVR experience. No longer must you sift through the couch-cushion chasms to find your lost remote. You can simply tell Alexa to turn on This Is Us and cry your eyes out with the rest of us.
The options above are ones I have personally found online. What if none of those providers service your location? Luckily, I have partnered with an internet sales solution team that will find available internet in your area. Simply call toll free (855) 432-3254, provide your zip code at the prompt and a sales representative will provide you with available internet offers in your area.
On 19 January 2017, RT stated that it had been temporarily restricted from posting media on its Facebook page until 21 January, after the service claimed that RT had infringed on the copyrights of Radio Liberty's Current Now TV when broadcasting a live stream of Barack Obama's final press conference as president of the United States. Current Time TV denied that it had sent any specific complaints to Facebook, and both RT and Current Now TV stated that they had obtained their feed from the Associated Press. The restriction was removed after about 20 hours, but Facebook did not say officially if this was because of a technical error or a policy issue.[267][266]
1. The good old fashioned antenna. Of course, this all depends on what kind of signal you can get inside your house. In my place here in CO, I can use an HDTV antenna and the channels come in beautifully. But I have lived in other houses where I couldn't even get snow to show up on the TV (New Mexico, I am looking at you). Antennas mounted on roofs tend to be a lot better at pulling in those free signals, but remember that as of 2009 you need a special digital converter box, as the analog signals will no longer be broadcast (in most communities).
Also forgot to mention that there is a great box out called Roku that allows you to stream in HD, and offers other stuff that is exactly like cable but theres only a one time cost of $59.99/free shipping and absolutely no monthly fees. All the movies and shows you want, you might want to check out all the features at roku.com or go to Netflix.com and check out their "watch television instantly" section. You can get more information about it there. Another great little investment to save on cable fees and you can use it on any television even the old analog television! Check it out!
"I realized that I missed my Live TV. I bought an HDTV antenna, however the only channel I could get was NBC because I'm not close to the towers. I researched all of the live streaming options including Hulu Live ($40/month), Sling TV ($20, $25 or $40) and DIRECTV NOW ($35). I got free trials for all three. I liked Hulu Live, however the live user interface took me awhile to get used to. Plus it was the most expensive at $40, still for a bunch of channels I don't watch. Also it did not have Animal Planet or TLC, channels that I watch. Next I was excited about Sling because of the price, however even with Sling's $40 option, you don't get all of the major broadcast networks. So my final selection for live streaming TV is DIRECTV NOW (Live a little package). It has the best value at $35/month with all of the major broadcast networks plus TLC and Animal Planet. Plus I like the user interface for browsing live TV. It has a nice channel guide similar to cable. The only channel that I don't have live and would like is the OWN network, but I'm not going to pay an extra $15 a month for the next higher package that includes it." ― Angela L. Lee
Basically, when you go to your xbox and select to view video, you can view video from the xbox's hard drive (stuff you download from xbox live), or from one of the connected media servers. Playon would be one of the connected media servers (in addition to the built in media server in windows vista -which only has limited streaming capabilities). Does that make sense or did I just muddy the water even more?
Consensus: If you're a PlayStation household, this is hands-down the service to choose for obvious reasons. While Vue certainly isn't worthless to other devices, its packages are slightly pricier than competitors who offer mostly the same channel selection. However, if you value channels like HBO and Showtime, PlayStation Vue's Ultra package is a better deal than purchasing those channels as add-ons elsewhere.
With the least cable-like interface of the Big 5, Hulu's greatest asset is the integration of live TV with its significant catalog of on-demand content for one price. Unfortunately, the interface frustrations apparent with the standard service are amplified once you add live TV. The app generally confuses "simple" with "incomplete." It technically offers a guide, for example, but it's extremely bare-bones. Another issue is that you'll have to pay extra, a hefty $15 per month, to get the ability to skip commercials on Hulu's cloud DVR.
I'll keep my eyes peeled on you guys and your progress, and try to follow your lead! By the way you have all been most informative,and Peter, thanks for starting the subject you truly have helped my frame of mind. I know I threw in a bit of southern humor to keep you all entertained but buy God I am going to overcome this so-called generational gap and get in there with you all. I won't be a tech. but perhaps I'll learn how to better utilize my equipment…
We cut the cord nearly 10 years ago and have no regrets. My husband built an antenna out of PVC pipe and wire hangers (there are plans online for this) for the last house we lived in, and mounted it in the attic. We got approximately 50 over-the-air channels that way. When we moved, we did use Sling for a little while, and while that was great, we opted to install an antenna on the roof of the current house and cancel Sling. That said, I highly recommend Sling for popular channels. Currently my lineup is Amazon Prime TV (comes with my Prime membership), Netflix, and I pay the $5/month for AcornTV, because I love my British shows. Thanks for summing these up—I've been preaching cord-cutting for a long time, it's great to see a blogger I respect touting the same thing! 🙂
To augment your free supply of live network TV, the next step is to choose your hardware for on-demand programming delivered via your Internet connection. You may already have this capability in an existing device if you own a gaming console like an Xbox 360, Sony Playstation 3 or Nintendo Wii. Or perhaps you've bought a smart TV or Blu-ray player with built-in Wi-Fi.
The ClearStream Eclipse has some of the best-rated performance in its class. The antenna is multi-directional, powerful, and surprisingly versatile. The Eclipse comes in four separate versions: 35, 50, 60, and 70-mile variations, so you'll be able to snag a model that best suits your location. The double-sided adhesive mounting surface is black on one side and white on the other, and it can be painted over so you'll be able to integrate it into any decor. The circular design of the antenna is unique and provides an advantage in being better at picking up UHF signals (a type of HD TV signal) than most other indoor antennas. Plus, it's multidirectional, so finding an ideal configuration where the signal is clearest is easy.
PlayStation Vue is a streaming service similar to Sling TV, offering channels like AMC, TBS, Syfy and much more. However, this service starts at $44.99 per month. Check out this comparison of Sling TV Channels vs. PS Vue for the difference in each services channel lineup. You don't need a PlayStation gaming console to use the service either. While the service is available on PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, you can also use the service with Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Fire TV Stick, Google Chromecast, Android, iPad, and iPhone. Check out my review of PlayStation Vue for more details.
Cable-replacement streaming services work exactly the same as having cable — live channels presented in real time — except they come streaming over the Internet rather than via an analog wire. The upside is that you don't have to give up the channels that you love. Sling TV carries multiple ESPN stations, plus Cartoon Network, TBS, Bloomberg, CNN, History and dozens of others. PlayStation Vue offers SyFy, Spike, USA, VH1, Fox News, Nickelodeon and more. You can also record programs to watch later on PS Vue, just like you would with a cable DVR box.
The most famous of the cheap HDMI brands, Monoprice has dozens of options to chose from. The linked cable is "Premium Certified," which is actually a certification. It basically means the cable is more or less guaranteed to work with 4K and HDR. The Premium Certified logo isn't required for 4K HDR, but if you see a cable that's Premium Certified and has the matching hologram and QR code, it's a pretty safe bet it will work.
Even if you're only going to watch a few of these shows, the only way to do it is with a subscription, so buying just the programs you want to see isn't an option this time. The same is true for another prestige network, HBO, which offers its shows exclusively through cable or a new $15 per month streaming option called HBO Now (unless, of course, you don't mind waiting months to buy the latest of Game of Thrones episodes on iTunes). With these three services in hand, you should be able to fill in any gaps with a few single-season purchases.
General idea: SlingTV has also been a huge player in the cord cutting game as it's one of the more affordable monthly options out there at just $20 per month. But the low price range doesn't mean the channel selection sucks. Even the basic plan offers your favorite channels, including HGTV, Comedy Central, ESPN, CNN, Disney, and BBCAmerica. Our favorite part about Sling is how you can tweak channel options: Aside from the main plans, Sling offers customization options where users can pick and choose extra channels to add on without having to upgrade to the next level. For $5/month each, you can customize with extra channel bundles for kids, sports, comedy, Spanish TV, and more, each with "Sling Orange" or "Sling Blue" bundles for extra picky mixing and matching.
For original programming, it started weak, but upped it a notch with Casual, which got the critics interested and earned Hulu its first Golden Globe nomination. Now it's got a real cool factor thanks to the multi-award-winner A Handmaid's Tale. It's also made itself the exclusive place to watch the entire back catalog of classic shows like Star Trek, South Park, Seinfeld, the original CSI, and a bunch of Cartoon Network/Adult Swim shows. It has a smattering of movies, but really, Hulu is all about the TV shows.
The crown jewel driving this premium streaming service is Star Trek: Discovery (which isn't even that good a Star Trek show), plus other originals like The Good Fight, which can only be seen via All Access, at least in the US (ST:D is on Netflix in other countries). You can also add Showtime programming to watch in the All Access interface for $14.99 per month.
The hardware is nice, even though it's a bit bigger than other similar devices. The remote is also quite good, acting as a minimal, Apple TV-like remote on one side with a mini keyboard on the other. The keyboard makes a huge difference, but doesn't feel like it makes the remote overly complicated. If I had one complaint, it's that the keyboard is a little hard to type on—especially because it requires you to hold down Alt or Shift to get numbers or capital letters, unlike similar keyboards you'd find on phones. It's just a little off-putting at first. But overall, the remote is really great.
Peter i need the book " for dummies" about all that you are teaching. I pay 170.00 a month for basically nothing from comcast. I really want to tell them to go to hell for years now. Need help on step by step on what i need to get, do and understand the easy for dummy way. If you can help with one on one teaching me well i rather give you the payment i give freaking comcast. I HATE EVERYTHING ABOUT THEM, EVERYTHING. PLEASE HELP. KAREN
One notable way in which FuboTV differs from every other service on this list is that it is currently the only service to offer streaming in 4K resolution with HDR10 high-dynamic range. Currently content is limited — so far the service has only shown some 2018 World Cup games on Fox and Fox Sports 1 with 4K and HDR — but this is a major step forward for streaming services. For more info, see the support page on the FuboTV website.
Streaming video on demand is a great way to replace content from TV: you can watch your favorite shows and movies online whenever you want! But is that really the same thing as being able to watch TV without cable? To some people, sure – but others might find that their favorite things about TV are missing. What about brand-new episodes of the latest network TV shows? What about channel surfing and "just seeing what's on?" What about live sports?
Prime ($8.99/mo., $119/yr.): If you shop a lot on Amazon, it's already worth it to pay the hundred bucks a year (or $12.99/mo.) for Prime, which includes the streaming Prime Video service, the Prime Music service, some free Kindle books and free two-day shipping on many products. If you're not big on yearly commitments, you can still get just the video service for $8.99 a month.
Google TV has a lot of weaknesses, and I wouldn't recommend it for most people. Its universal search feature has the potential to be incredible, but its interface and app selection just isn't very good compared to its competitors. However, it has its advantages for a specific niche: f you're looking for a cheap and easy Plex box, or a good box for couch-focused web browsing, this could be a very good option due to its configurability.
Last, download the necessary software. You can download a compatible app for your Mac right from myhdhomerun.com. You can also download the HDHomerun app for iPhone and iPad. On Apple TV, you can use Plex with your Plex Pass subscription or Emby with an Emby Premier subscription, or you could also side load Kodi and use the HDHomeRun add-on. If you don't already use Plex, Emby, or Kodi on your Apple TV, you should probably get Channels for Apple TV (my personal recommendation) or InstaTV Pro.

These are my second headphones from Riwbox, they are so good, high quality and affordable. These are Bluetooth, easy to connect and also comes with a micro SD reader, very light weight and comfortable, I already test them running and jumping and they stay on place, so they are excellent for workout routines. The sound is great, clear and loud, without distortion. Adjustables and foldable. The only thing is missing it is a carrying bag, but not a big deal. Just what I was looking for.
The Roku is a clever little device, designed to be an easy-to-use, one-stop shop for any streaming service you want—and it does the job well. We tested the top-of-the-line XS model, which is still as tiny and inexpensive as they come, clocking in at only $99. Like the Apple TV, it sits out of the way, unnoticed, and is very easy to use, so even the least tech-savvy friend or family member can fire it up and watch their shows.
Networked Media Device – Like Our Xbox 360: You can get a brand new Xbox 360 for around $100-150 nowadays, sometimes cheaper. We just got our second one for $75 from a friend. Tons of other networked media devices are compatible as well including Ipad, Iphone, Google Chromecast, Playstation 4, HP Mediasmart TVs, and Nintendo Wii and Roku devices. Check the link above to see if your device is supported. – Cost: Free-$200 (depends on if you have one of these already. If you don't have one already, I recommend the uber-cheap $35 Google Chromecast or Fire TV)
The truth is that you have a bunch of ways to watch local channels online and over-the-air. Thanks to the rise in skinny bundles and the resurgence in popularity of over-the-air TV, cord cutters are once again enjoying local news and other local programming without having to go crawling back to traditional pay TV providers like cable and satellite companies. This is our complete guide to watching local channels without cable.
With the exception of Sling, all five services continue to add local channels in an attempt to sign up viewers. Because most local stations, aka network affiliates, are owned by companies other than one of the big four networks in question, they usually require separate contracts with providers like streaming services, cable systems and satellite networks.
Hulu is one of the most affordable alternatives to cable and satellite tv. Not only is there original content, but you can also view shows from local channels and some cable networks soon after they air. The baseline service comes in at a reasonable $8 per month, though you do have to tolerate some highly repetitive ads if you choose this option. If the ads get under your skin, for a $12 a month, you can upgrade to the commercial-free service.
This is pretty cool, especially if you are an AT&T member. If you're an AT&T Mobility customer, DIRECTV will pick up the tab for data to help you achieve all your binge-worthy goals. Data Free TV means you won't use your AT&T mobile data for watching DIRECTV NOW or FreeVIEW in the App. This means that you can watch Direct TV From ANYWHERE for free if you are an AT&T member. (Think long car trips mommas!)
Price: The basic Access plan goes for $34.99/month and provides 49 channels, the Core plan ups the channel selection to over 60 and goes for $44.95/month, the Elite plan provides over 90 channels and goes for $54.95/month, and the top-tier Ultra plan affords the same 90+ channel suite as the Elite plan, while also adding on fancy channels like HBO and Showtime for $74.99/month.
"Being a fan of anime used to mean that you were subject to the whims of media importers or your friend who had a high-bandwidth Internet connection and shady IRC contacts. For years, the only anime I saw was on bootlegged VHS tapes I made myself. Crunchyroll puts all previous methods of watching anime outside Japan (legal or otherwise) to shame. Devoted exclusively to anime and live-action Asian television, Crunchyroll offers 950 shows, over 25,000 streaming episodes, and simulcasting from across the Pacific. It's a dream for fans, so they'll probably forgive its problematic interface. I do."
The interface is great. It's fast, smooth, and incredibly simple. You have all your basic channels on the front page in a grid, letting you access your movies, TV shows, and music from iTunes, as well as streaming channels like Netflix, Hulu Plus, and sports sites like MLB.tv, NBA, and NHL. It even has a list of recent and popular movies along the top if you aren't sure what you want to watch, which is kind of fun. Anything else you want to play can be shot to the Apple TV through AirPlay on an iOS device, or via AirPlay mirroring on a Mac. It isn't ideal, but it'll get the job done for just about anything you want to watch.
Nothing is perfect. I can easily imagine more flexible user interfaces and certainly look forward to more customer friendly and consistent licensing rights for TV episodes. Long term, the good news is that content creators are essentially carrier agnostic. "They've learned the lessons of the music industry and want to get their content in front of viewers on whichever platform they choose to consume it," says Robin Diedrich, media analyst at Edward Jones.
* Offer for new Fios Internet res. customers is non-transferable and has no cash or refund value. Documentation of early termination fee (ETF) for TV, Internet and phone from your prior service provider must be provided w/in 90 days of installation and offer will be fulfilled via bill credit, to your Verizon account, in the amount of the ETF up to $500. You remain solely responsible for paying the ETF to your prior service provider. If you cancel your Verizon service w/in 90 days of installation, the ETF credit will be charged back to your final bill.
By the time you factor in functionality, premium channels, etc., most of these cord cutting options fall short in their ability to even keep up with what Comcast can provide a household. People paying over $200 for cable are also paying for their voice lines as well as their high speed internet, which, mind you, is required to even sustain these cord cutting offerings.
Hi, We have been considering giving up our Directv for sometime, Running across this forum has made the decision for us. I see that a Chromecast would be needed per TV that you want to use. My question is, Does a laptop or computer HAVE to be used to do any of this? We have a PS3, So would I be able to use the PS3 for Hulu, Netflix, Playon, and whatever other channels we find? And the other question is, On any of these options, can you watch the show/movie live or do you have to wait a week or so after it airs? We are more worried about our shows like Outlander, Game of Thrones, Big Bang theory, Homeland, etc??
Hi , I think I might be interested in this because I'm tired of paying high cost of cable which just went up from 90.00 to 140 in about the last 6 months it just kept going up 10.00 every month, with them saying "its a cost of living increase?!?" , whatever. Anyhow I have done netflix in the passed for movies only though, but I do have some questions if anyone can answer them I would greatly appreciate it.
* It is possible to build an antenna for less than $20 that can receive stations from over 50 miles away. Google for "M4 DB4 antenna DIY" for plans and instructions. A home-built antenna can be specificly tuned to the RF channels in your area. My area still has 5 very important stations in the Hi-VHF range – I suspect most metro areas are in a similar situation, though many stations are broadcasting on UHF now.
Usually, the apps themselves are free. However, some networks offer paid subscription options to access certain shows or old episodes. But that doesn't mean the cost isn't potentially reasonable, depending on how many shows you may watch. For example, CBS All Access is available for as little as $5.99 per month (plus tax), which isn't bad in comparison to the cost of cable.
Vladimir Putin visited the new RT broadcasting centre in June 2013 and stated "When we designed this project back in 2005 we intended introducing another strong player on the international scene, a player that wouldn't just provide an unbiased coverage of the events in Russia but also try, let me stress, I mean – try to break the Anglo-Saxon monopoly on the global information streams. ... We wanted to bring an absolutely independent news channel to the news arena. Certainly the channel is funded by the government, so it cannot help but reflect the Russian government's official position on the events in our country and in the rest of the world one way or another. But I'd like to underline again that we never intended this channel, RT, as any kind of apologetics for the Russian political line, whether domestic or foreign."[79][80]
On July 1, 2010, TV Guide Network's scrolling grid was given an extensive facelift; the grid was shrunk to the bottom one-quarter of the screen, the channel listings were reduced from two lines to one (with the channel number now being placed to the right of the channel ID code), the color-coding for programs of specific genres (such as children's shows, movies and sports) was removed, synopses for films were dropped and much like with the featured included in the Amiga 2000-generated grid, a four-second pause for the grid's scrolling function was added after each listed row of four channels. Despite the change, the non-scrolling grid (which was the same height as the restyled scrolling grid) continued to be used for primetime programming for a time. Later that month on July 24, TV Guide Network introduced a new non-scrolling grid used for primetime programming, which was later dropped with providers using the scrolling grid during the time period. On August 3, 2010, the scrolling grid was changed again, with the pausing function being applied to each channel, and size of the listing rows returning to two lines (in some areas, the grid with remained three lines, thus cutting off half of the second listing). On October 17, 2010, the color of the scrolling grid was changed to black the listing rows reverting to one line (although some cable systems still used the previous grid as late as 2014).
We also recommend testing your internet speed at peak streaming hours (between 6 – 10 p.m. weekdays) to determine if your neighborhood struggles under the strain of heavy traffic. For instance, if you routinely get around 10Mbps downloads during the day, but that figure takes a dive to about 3Mbps around dinner time, you'll want to call your internet provider to see if anything can be done. Fortunately, this is an increasingly rare problem outside of rural areas, but better to check ahead.
For me, it means i don't have to have the computer hooked up to my TV, i can stream the shows over the network and have my computer in another room. It also means I can watch the shows full screen, using my remote and/or Xbox controller, to pause, skip, select shows, etc. It's also more convenient for me than having to navigate to a website, and surf around using the keyboard/mouse, and having all that computer hardware sitting on my coffee table.
PlayStation Vue: With the $30-per-month Access Slim plan, you get CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, HLN, Fox Business, and CNBC. In some markets where local broadcast feeds are available, that price jumps to $40 per month for the Access plan. BBC World News requires an Elite plan for $15 per month more. Available on: Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, and PlayStation consoles
Both the EPG Jr. and EPG Sr. allowed cable operators to further customize their operation locally. Among other functions, the listings grid's scrolling speed could be changed and local text-based advertisements could be inserted. Each text-based advertisement could be configured to display as either a "scroll ad" (appearing within the vertically scrolling listings grid between its half-hour cycles)[2] or as a "crawl ad" (appearing within a horizontally scrolling ticker at the bottom of the screen).[3] If no advertisements were configured as "crawl ads," the bottom ticker would not be shown on-screen. The on-screen appearances of both the Jr. and Sr. versions of the EPG software differed only slightly, due primarily to differences in text font and extended ASCII graphic glyph character rendering between the underlying Atari and Amiga platforms.[4]
These lower-cost services have won back some people who quit cable, providing hope for the likes of ESPN or CNN, whose channels are included. But the skinny bundles haven't won back all the departed. They have only about 6 million customers so far. And companies whose channels have been excluded from them have little recourse to make up lost ground.
The commercials are still there—and repetitive to the extreme. Each break may show the same commercials over and over, sometimes the same ad back-to-back, as if they couldn't find any sponsors who believe in streaming. Or perhaps it's to torture you into using regular cable and a DVR (if you get a DVR from Spectrum, the app can be used to program it.)
CBS/CBS All Access: The main CBS app includes the latest episodes of the broadcaster's major news programs, including CBS Evening News, 60 Minutes, and Face the Nation. Those programs can be accessed for free on mobile devices and televisions via Chromecast, though other TV devices require a $6-per-month CBS All Access subscription. Available on: Roku, Amazon Fire TV, Apple TV, Android TV, Chromecast, Xbox, and PlayStation 4
Next, there's the U Must Have HD Antenna for $69.95 (often on sale for as low as $27). It works much like the aforementioned antennas with mounting and scanning for channels. However, when it comes to picture quality, it really shines. As long as you can bring in the best signal within 80 miles, this antenna can output at 4K. Now you obviously need a 4K TV in order to handle that kind of picture quality, but that speaks to the quality that antennas are capable of today.
You will instantly get over 100 channels, and there are tons more that you can add along the way.

I was very disappointed when the NBC-based channel US Sports went to cable on January 1st. I used to enjoy the gymnastics and skating there. Now, in an Olympic year, they decided to move from the free NBC channel 5.3 to a paid cable channel. It's like those certain sports events are only available on paid cable, or video reruns on USsports.com. It's really lousy in an Olympic year!


Hyaluronate is a natural occurring chemical that helps joints work properly by acting like a lubricant and shock absorber. It is similar to the lubricant that is typically found in the joint. The amount of this chemical is often depleted in people with arthritis. This medicine is injected directly into the knee, hip or shoulder to relieve osteoarthritis pain.
Who may benefit from Hyaluronate injection?
People with mild to moderate osteoarthritis of the knee, hip or shoulder may obtain significant relief with injection of hyaluronate, particularly if they have not had relief with anti-inflammatory medications or tylenol.
Are there different forms of Hyaluronate?
Yes, the medication comes in different doses and strengths. Synvisc, Hyalgan, Suparz, Gel-One, and Euflexxa are just a few of the many forms of this medication.
What do I need to do to prepare for injection?
Not a thing, the injection is a simple procedure. Patients may drive afterwards and do not need to significantly change their diet or activity.
For the first 48 hours you should avoid strenuous activities or prolonged activities that put a stress on your joints. After that, you may resume all normal activities.
First you will rest on an examination table. The treatment area will be numbed with a local anesthetic to assure there is no discomfort. Then your doctor will use advanced ultrasound image guidance to place the medication in the desired area. Then skin will be cleansed and a Band-Aid will be placed on the injection site. That's it. Although most skilled physicians can successfully inject a joint without the benefit of ultrasound guidance, numerous studies suggest that the procedure is more accurate, less painful and more effective when using ultrasound guidance.
Are there any risks with the injection?
People who are allergic to eggs, chicken or chicken products may wish to use non-avian sources of Hyaluronate. As with any injection, there is a risk of infection, bleeding, allergic reaction or failure to alleviate pain although these complications are exceedingly rare.
How long will my relief last?
On average our patients receive up to 6 to 12 months relief from a single injection. Each person is unique and the duration of relief is dependent upon the severity of the arthritis, patient's age, weight and general activity level.
If you have any concerns or questions following your procedure, please do not hesitate to contact your physician.
Hyaluronate is found in the extracellular matrix. It is the largest polysaccharide found in vertebrates and is a major component of our synovial fluids. It helps increases the viscosity of this fluid by forming hydrated matrices. Hyaluronate is used as a viscosupplement, administered by injection into joints, to treat osteoarthritis. It is FDA approved specifically for the knee. Hyaluronate provides relief by recovering the viscoelasticity of the articular fluid, and by stimulating new production from synovial fluid. It is thought to be anti-inflammatory as well.
Sodium hyaluronate is used as a surgical aid in variety of procedures performed on the eyeball including cataract extraction. It is used in plastic surgery to reduce wrinkles on the face. It can be used as a hydrogel for regenerative scaffolding.
Hyaluronate is available in pill form, but there is little evidence that this route of administration works. There is not much reason to think it should either.

I'm generally pretty shocked and offended by the celebrity-worshipping, anti-facts tone of much of this thread. When the claims of a participant contradict things that are established, proven, on the record, it is our responsibility as music historians to ask why. That is all.
Where, "on the record" of Brother Records, Warner Records, or Epic Records releases does it say who is singing lead on "Sail On Sailor"? The LP of 1993 and the CD of 1985, plus the single 45 and demo promos on 45's only says it's the Beach Boys singing.
On the "Holland" LP jacket and the CD booklet and all insert notes only say that Blondie is the author and co-writer of "Leaving This Town." Nowhere can I find Blondie connected with SOS. You would think that if someone other than an established Beach boy is singing on a new song, the record company would tell you on the jacket or years later on the CD booklet.
Many years ago I bought the "Holland" LP. Since no credits are given, I always thought Carl sang the SOS lead. It sounds like him and not Michael, Al, Bruce Dennis or Brian. Up until these posts started I never considered Blondie could be the singer. But where is the proof? the "established, proven, on the record" proof? All I can find out about Blondie is on the internet -- that's not proof.
So will you or someone tell me where the record company says, on any official release of SOS, that Blondie is the singer of that song? or Carl.
HeyJude
I didn't wade into this issue previously, but let's be clear: It's Blondie Chaplin singing "Sail on Sailor" on every commercially released copy of the "Holland" album, and any other commercially released album/compilation that includes the Beach Boys' recording.
I'd have to pore through every BB album release, but I don't think every single album has a lead vocal credit for every song.
That being said, I think there are liner notes accompanying BB releases that mention that Blondie sings SOS. For instance, the '93 Good Vibrations Boxed Set:
CD #4 opens with one of the best Beach Boys songs of the last twenty years, Brian's comforting "Sail On Sailor." It wasn't a big hit, although it charted twice, once in 1973 and once in 1975, it never got any higher that #49 in Billboard.
The lead singer on "Sail On Sailor" is guitar player Blondie Chaplin, one of two black South Africans (drummer Ricky Fataar was the other) who were with the Beach Boys during much of the first half of the decade. They had been introduced to the Beach Boys world when Carl Wilson produced an album by their family group, Flame. In early 1972, when Bruce Johnston left the band, Blondie and Ricky became official Beach Boys. (It's interesting to note that the Beach Boys, with little fanfare, integrated what many consider to be the quintessential white pop group.)
I'm all for new insights into seemingly iron clad facts. Some folks didn't know for years that certain Beatles were missing from certain Beatles songs. BB fans are still debating "Be Here in the Morning." Dennis singing part of a line on IJWMFTT was staring us right in the face for decades and few noticed it for years and years.
But there is zero evidence that anybody but Blondie Chaplin is singing the lead on the released version of SOS. Every BB has said so. Every time he was on stage with the BBs, Blondie sang the song. And, if you *know* Blondie Chaplin's voice (and the other BBs for that matter), it's patently obvious that Blondie Chaplin is singing the song.
I absolutely understand this whole thing has been a delicate situation and that it hasn't been easy to just be unequivocal about everything. But it's 100% ridiculous and embarrassing to try to finagle some scenario where, contrary to every piece of evidence, the lack of a specific lead vocal credit on 1973 pressings of "Holland" means that it's actually plausible that it's not Blondie singing the song.

c-man
The official Warner Bros. promo booklet issued at the time of Holland's release in January 1973, and available for free at places like Tower Records, says this about SOS:
"Sail On, Sailor" is a Brian Wilson-Jack Rieley song with writer credits suggesting informal assistance from a wide range of characters, among them Van Dyke Parks. It takes the composers sense of rueful sorcery to a politically radical plateau, accompanied lyrically by one of the more blunt statements of the quality of being ever uttered by the Beach Boys. Blondie Chaplin sings lead, and Carl Wilson produced.
So, there IS an official record company credit for Blondie's lead, and a contemporaneous one, no less. Plus, Blondie has talked about the recording session in many interviews since then, including how he sang the lead in two takes after both Dennis and Carl tried and gave up.
John Brode
There are a lot of lead vocals that get debated around here. Some of these are hard to tell, and what was initially thought has changed as different evidence has been presented. For example, a lot of people who initially thought Brian sang the verses on BHITM have come around, and now the majority belief is that it's Al Jardine. However, Sail On Sailor is not one of these songs. The boys can all sound pretty similar, but not a single person has doubted the lead singer of this song until this whole issue. I think we can all agree it's Blondie.
The liner notes of 2000 two-fer reissue of CATP/Holland also says as follows:
Blondie Chaplin stepped up for another magnificent vocal performance (Dennis had a go at first, but left for the beach before getting it right!)…
Also, in the same liner notes, Tom Petty says:
It's Blondie takin' the lead vocal here on Sail On, Sailor.
SWD doesn't claim to be a historian. He is not interested in conveying that aspect of his work with the Beach Boys. He can only recall events as he remembers them. If you disagree with a point of his, I doubt he cares that much. But it is those among us who want to browbeat him with their point and want him to acknowledge their absolute correctness that has put this thread and his website in it's current condition.
I have my opinion about SOS. But in the light of everything that SWD has brought to this forum, I could not careless if he said Dolly Parton sang it.
Just move on and let the man do his thang.

I have mentioned this elsewhere but it bears repeating that this is not why his website is in its current condition.
Its in its current condition because Mr. Desper is concerned that a potential controversy over a long-held belief about who sang the song could lead to him no longer having the permission to use the music at all. If we dropped this whole conversation entirely, the music would go back up eventually.

Have you considered that maybe Mr Desper was told to take it down by BRI? Stephen himself cast aspersions on who was singing the lead on the released SOS (he has deleted those posts on here). Maybe the powers that be didn't take to kindly to that, or unreleased material being on there, such as the Fourth of July demo.

In all honesty I am just sad that I didn't get a chance to see it.

We had ourselves a real smasher of a storm come through in the night that left tree limbs down & our whole area without power from about 4 to 8 a.m. this morning. A few roads closed due to fallen trees. The lightning was non stop as were the continuous sharp claps of thunder. Torrential rains had water running down our driveway. Been a long time since we had a severe storm like that go through.
Kelly headed off to Cambridge early to see her daughter & two 'Grands.' I was hoping to begin painting the porch steps but they were too rain soaked from the overnight storm.
Little Cora & I hopped into the Jeep & headed for Goderich & a few groceries. A drive down to the harbor, a stop at the beach & we were home again by 11. The heavy humidity began settling in around noon & that was enough of being outside for me.
It seems Google has been busy while we have been sleeping. You might want to check your Blogger Dashboard if you haven't done so recently. For some of us, maybe not all, that Dashboard has changed. It is all part of changes at Google & you can read about it here... BLOGGER REDESIGNED. I stumbled across the change by accident Monday night & the total redesign threw me for a loop because nothing was like it was. The night was late & I didn't have the patience to try & re-familiarize & figure everything out then but I sat down & had a second look at it today. Everything is still there but now you have to find it & re-acquaint yourself with it again because the format is completely different. I would suggest folks do that now before you have a problem down the road & have to go to the Dashboard......& find it all ker-fuddled. Only thing I don't like is the lighter printing on white backgrounds, etc. I find dark bolder printing on a slightly colored background much easier to read.
I almost hate to mention this for fear of jinxing myself but I am about to enter day 4 of, 'no peanut butter & honey sandwiches.' In my last two trips to town I went right by McDonalds & Tim Horton's & I've been working at changing some other eating habits as well. Just gotta get rid of this excess weight & that's all there is to it!!
So far, my dashboard remains the same, but now I'm prepared to be agravated. :) Google did give me fits this morning when I tried to do some commenting. It wouldn't let me. Ugh!
My dashboard is the same too. It is my entry point and I check other blogs using my reading list.
The weather this season seems to be very ominous. Heat here just outside Atlanta has been in mid 90's over a week with no change in sight.
Glad you had no damage to your home with all those storms.
love the sailboats!!!..how peaceful it must be to be out on the water with nothing but the wind to move you!..
The sailboat photos are stunning! Thanks for sharing.
I'm going to have to keep that groaner to use on my grandkids...love it!!
I always thought peanut butter was a health food!
Peanut butter and honey with maybe a banana thrown in once in awhile. Oh yes. We had a terrible storm go through last night - three tornadoes touched down but they were all out in the country (about 15 miles) and didn't do much damage. Thank goodness. Loved your weather statistics. That was fun reading.
Those sailboat pictures sure make me feel nostalgic.
It seems that nothing can remain the same for any length of time. Blogger, like the rest of the world seems to think that change is always better than the status quo.
Absolutely beautiful photos! I particularly like the second pic down, must be the framing that catches my eye, very nice. Glad you put the weather facts up, really interesting.
I am sorry to hear you have stopped eating the Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches Al; we Honey producers need you back on our team.
Loved the weather info! Sure wouldn't want to live in Astoria, Oregon!
Enjoying your blog! I grew up just across the lake from you (Sandusky, Michigan -- 15 miles in from Port Sanilac) and now live in Tucson, AZ.
We agree with John about your second picture -- from what I understand, it is just about techically perfect - level horizon at the one third level, main subject at the proper 1/3 X 1/3 point, and heading into the picture, color stunning! Our Blogger dashboard hasn't changed yet - we can wait. Since you've stopped the peanut butter and honey sandwiches, now it is time (maybe?) to switch to peanut butter and onion -- fewer calories, fine taste!
I sure hope we don't get HAIL. That brins us to our knee's in a new York minute..
Nice Blog and Pictures AL!!
Al, just remember.....peanut butter and honey are both natural healthy foods....especially if it's Jif peanut butter!! I like peanut butter on my waffles, and also on my pancakes. My grand kids think that's weird.....but not as bad as ketchup on pancakes, which I sometimes have!
Please don't be smitten with the "thin is in" idea! You'll have to buy a whole new wardrobe, and that's just not right!! I firmly (well, maybe not so "firmly") believe that we've all been given our fair share of "fat cells", and it's our responsibility to use them as best we can, since they just won't go away!! I've read several studies where experts have agreed that it's quite easy for most people to lose weight....but they just don't keep it off. If that's the case, then why bother to lose it in the first place! I used to struggle with losing weight, all the time. Now, I've finally reached the point that I'm so old and fat that I'm never going to be "in style" again, so what difference would it make anyway?!?! I say.....as long as I can still get in and out of the motorhome door, I'm doing alright!!


Order: In the Matter of Christina Harper et al.
II. that any exemptions contained in Ontario securities law do not apply to the Respondents.

DATED at Toronto this 14th day of June, 2010.


The latest manifestation of Microsoft's database management system offers developers some interesting new advantages - particularly in its use of XML.
SQL Server 2005, which has just been made available in beta form to developers, is the latest incarnation of Microsoft's enterprise database management system (DBMS). We looked at the second beta release.
The package runs on Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 or Windows XP. Although the "official" minimum hardware requirement for the 32-bit version is a 600MHz processor and 256MB RAM, anyone familiar with heavy-duty database packages will know that the more processing power and RAM you load in there, the better it'll fly. There's also a 64-bit flavour of the package, by the way, which cites a RAM requirement of 1GB, but the same rules apply – the more the better. We ran our installation on a 1GHz PIII with 1GB RAM and Windows 2000 Server SP4.
The installer for SQL2005 is much nicer than that of its predecessor – instead of having to install components individually, everything's in a single installer and you pick the bits you want. We chose to install everything, for which the installer estimated we'd need about 600MB of our 20GB disk.
The first thing you notice with SQL2005 is that key items that were implemented as bolt-ons to SQL2000 are now an integrated part of the system – no surprise, then, that XML-structured data repositories are natively handled alongside traditional relational datasets. The inclusion of XML data structures in a database server is an interesting one, because it deviates somewhat from the de facto "standard" approach of using relational tables with foreign keys linking the elements: XML is, by nature, a hierarchical structure, and so it gives hope to those with hierarchical datasets that are a pain to map onto a traditional relational database.
The T/SQL programming language that's used to write user-defined functions and stored procedures has also grown somewhat. We can no longer curse about its below-average error handling, for instance, and the new version also includes event triggering and handling, the ability to write hierarchical queries (no shock there given what we've said about XML above), improved trigger handling (making functions run when something happens, such as an update or insertion in a table) and a concept called Common Table Expressions (a very handy way of expressing complex queries that refer to the same subquery multiple times).
The main "real" new feature in SQL2005 is its tight integration with the .NET framework. This didn't happen with SQL2000 simply because it pre-dated the .NET regime, but now the two worlds have been united to provide much closer integration between high-level program code and low-level database queries.
From the user's point of view, the various applications you get with SQL Server are slightly different from SQL2000. The first thing you notice is that Enterprise Manager and Query Analyzer are no more, since the functionality of these tools has been combined into the new SQL Server Management Studio. This is a good idea (as anyone who spends their life ALT-TABbing between the two worlds under SQL2000), and the GUI and shortcut keys of the combined version are similar enough to their predecessors for the transition to be painless. Alongside the management studio is a number of other tools, including the Business Intelligence Development Studio (part of the Analysis Services suite), the Database Tuning Advisor (a tool that helps non-experts design an efficient indexing and partitioning scheme) and the Profiler (for tracing the execution of procedures and queries in order to diagnose problems or find out why something's not behaving as it should).
Although not explicitly stated in the current product blurb, SQL2005 is likely to be available in "standard" and "enterprise" versions, just like SQL2000. As with the earlier product there's also a free version; with SQL2000 we had MSDE, but with SQL2005 it's been renamed "SQL Server Express". This is a cut-down version (it's only capable of exploiting a single processor and has a restriction, albeit a fairly generous one, on the maximum database size) that costs nothing to use and which can be redistributed under some very lenient licence terms.
SQL Server 2005 is a genuine step forward for Microsoft's DBMS product line and, as such, ensures that Microsoft will continue to compete successfully with the likes of Oracle.
As with most Microsoft products, the majority of users will probably defer an upgrade from the current version to the new release until they're happy there are no hideous problems.

Q: How to get Visual Studio to automatically include JS files compiled from Typescript? I've just began with Typescript in Visual Studio. I notice that when I save the TS files, Visual Studio compiles the JS files and they are resided in the same folder as the TS files. But Visual Studio does not reflect those compiled JS files. In other words, Visual Studio did not include those files into the project. The JS files are only visible when I open the folder in Windows Explorer.
And even if I manually include those js files into Visual Studio, they don't appear under the TS files as a subfile of theirs, like they are linked.
How can I get Visual Studio to include the JS files compiled from the TS files automatically?

A: You can use VSCommand plugin http://vscommands.squaredinfinity.com. This plugins adds many useful commands and one of them is the Group items in the Solution Explorer right click menu.
I use that and then WebEssential to minimize the map the result js files.

A: Advances in Visual Studio mean that as of VS2015, generated JS files are deployed despite not being in the project, and dragging the TS file onto a web page in the editor will insert a link tag referencing the generated JS file.

The Department of State (DOS) notes in the Visa Bulletin for March 2007 that little if any forward movement in the employment third preference category is expected in the near future. Recent discussions with both U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Department of Labor indicate, the DOS said, that the demand for numbers with pre-August 2002 priority dates is likely to be extremely high in the coming months as both agencies continue to work on their backlogs. This could easily cause a retrogression of the current employment third preference cut-off dates if that demand begins to materialize at USCIS offices during the spring and summer months.

Multinational tech company Intel has unveiled its latest development in collaboration with Brazilian startup HOOBOX Robotics, an AI-powered toolkit named "Wheelie 7" to provide enhanced mobility for the quadriplegic community.
According to Intel, using the Wheelie 7 technology, a wheelchair can be operated with facial expressions. To achieve this, the kit integrates the Intel RealSense Depth Camera, Intel core processors and Intel's OpenVINO AI toolkit to "to accelerate the inferencing of facial recognition software and provide immediate responsiveness".
HOOBOX Robotics CEO and co-founder Dr. Paulo Pinheiro said: "The Wheelie 7 is the first product to use facial expressions to control a wheelchair. This requires incredible precision and accuracy, and it would not be possible without Intel technology."
The new AI-powered toolkit aims to provide independence to people with reduced mobility. Approximately 288,000 people in the US are living with spinal injuries and there are around 17,700 new cases every year, according to The National Spinal Cord Injury Statistical Center.
The Wheelie 7 kit eliminates the need for invasive body sensors which are traditionally required for operation of wheelchairs and can be downloaded within seven minutes. "Taking just seven minutes to install, the Wheelie 7 kit allows users to pick from 10 facial expressions to control their motorized wheelchair – moving forward, turning and stopping."
"We are helping people regain their autonomy," the company claimed.

Roy Lichtenstein 1923-1977
Purist Painting with Dice, 1975
Oil and magna on canvas
20 x 16 ins
50.8 x 40.64 cm
Signed and dated "rf Lichtenstein '75" on the reverse
Roy Lichtenstein was an American Pop artist best-known for his large-scale paintings resembling comic-book series. Lichtenstein studied at Ohio State University, taking time off to serve in WWII and later returning to complete his studies after the war. Lichtenstein also completed a M.F.A. at Ohio State and was then hired by the university to teach art. During this time, he lived in Cleveland and frequently traveled back and forth from New York for exhibitions. At this point in his career, Lichtenstein's style lay between Cubism and Abstract Expressionism. It wasn't until 1958 that he started to incorporate comic-inspired images into his work.
In the 1960s, Lichtenstein became famous for his large scale, hard-edged figures composed of Ben-Day dots. When asked about his change in style, Lichtenstein remarked that Abstract Expressionists, "put things down on the canvas and responded to what they had done, to the color, positions and sizes. My style looks completely different, but the nature of putting down lines pretty much is the same; mine just don't come out looking calligraphic, like Pollock's or Kline's." By embracing comic book illustrations, which was thought of as 'low' art at the time, he became one of the leading figures in the Pop Art movement with his signature use of Ben-Day dots as his code of communication. Lichtenstein sold his first million-dollar painting in 1989, and his prices have since climbed from $5 million up to $50 million. In 2013, his portrait of Dora Maar fetched $50 million, meaning his index has grown 152% in the past decade.
Lichtenstein's work is featured in the permanent collections of the MoMA in New York, the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the San Francisco MoMA, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Columbia Museum of Art, the MCA San Diego, the LACMA, the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, El Museu d´Art Contemporani de Barcelona, the Tate Modern in London and the Tehran Museum of Contemporary Art in Iran.

Linden Lab Acquired by Investors
Linden Lab Acquired by Investors After Months of Rumors, Layoffs & Sansar's Sale; Second Life to Still Expand, Official Announcement Promises
I've heard rumors by various insiders that Linden Lab was looking to be acquired for the last few months, and now that prim-based shoe has finally dropped:
Linden Research, Inc. announced today it signed an agreement to be acquired by an investment group led by Randy Waterfield and Brad Oberwager. Closing of the acquisition is subject to regulatory approval by financial regulators in the U.S. related to Tilia Inc.'s status as a licensed money transmitter as well as other customary closing conditions. Upon closing, Mr. Waterfield and Mr. Oberwager will join the Board of Directors of Linden Research, Inc.
This announcement follows fast upon the recent acquisition (in March) of Linden Lab property Sansar by a little known turnkey operation called Wookey. In fact, that's when I heard rumors of Linden's coming acquisition — just as I did when Linden Lab made a round of layoffs last February. In retrospect, both moves appear to be in preparation for this purchase.
However, the overall gist of this announcement is very much: Don't worry, Second Life will continue and grow. Which may or may not be true, but that's definitely the intended theme:
"We're excited for this new chapter to begin. We see this as an opportunity to continue growth and expansion for Second Life and our money services business Tilia," says Linden Lab CEO Ebbe Altberg. "We're grateful for the ongoing support from our community, business partners and investors. Now more than ever, there is increased recognition of the value and utility of virtual worlds to bring people together for safe, shared, and social online experiences."
"Both the company and its virtual world community have a unique culture and creative energy that remain important to the long-term success of Second Life," says Brad Oberwager. "There's a bright future for both Second Life and Tilia and we're excited to help fuel these growth opportunities."
"Since its inception 17 years ago, Second Life has been a pioneer in the concepts of virtual societies, land and economies," says Second Life founder Philip Rosedale, who is now CEO of High Fidelity. "I've known Brad for 14 years personally and professionally, and I'm confident he will bring his passion and proven strategies to help Linden Lab achieve new heights in distribution, scale, and quality while remaining true to the original vision, creativity, and community that makes Second Life unique and special."
Read the rest here. As with the corporate executives of Wookey, neither Oberwager or Waterfield have any apparent experience in game development, so it's unclear as yet how they plan to implement the "bright future" the announcement speaks of.
I have of course reached out to Linden Lab about this, and hope to update this post soon.
Update, 3:50pm: As a possible hint of Linden Lab's future, Randy Waterfield is the Chairman and CEO of the Waterfield Group, which has this its business mission:
The Waterfield Private Equity Fund(s) I, II, & III; as well as The Waterfield Family Office, invest in conservatively run companies with strong free cash flow, proven management, and a platform we believe can add value to the global economic community. We prefer basic businesses with a few years of proven, conservative growth. We avoid companies that are growing too fast. We believe slow and steady makes the race… We strive to be a good partner to existing management, are passive with regards to general managerial issues, and work hard to help our CEOs and their families' realize their vision. We have no defined exit plan, and tend to own companies for generations.
I.E., translating the business speak: We buy companies that make a decent profit and help keep them running for years and years, and that's basically it.
So I'd speculate — and this is only my speculation — that Linden Lab's original investors pushed for this acquisition to finally have Linden's long-awaited liquidity event. I.E., "We invested in you over 15 years ago, you've been profitable for about 13 years, so now where's the return on our fricking investment already?"

Want to Understand What Linden Lab's Acquisition Means for Second Life? →


This entire month I have been talking about toys/play rooms/kids' stuff, so I felt it only fitting to share effective ways for organizing and decluttering kids toys like a pro. The kids' toys can seem like a mountain to tackle, but I promise once you start it does get easier! The entire process can seem daunting because of all the toys. But I break down my steps for how you can organize and declutter toys for good!
See that big giant pile sitting in the middle of your room now?? Allow that feeling of overwhelm to sink in. I say this because it will help with deciding what to keep and what to let go during the decluttering kids toys process. Take a big, deep breath and start working your way through the pile. Grab one toy. Whatever that toy is, that is your first category. Set that toy aside and find a few more of toys that belong in that category. See another category of toys? Start grouping them together as well. Continue this process until that massive pile is sorted. Keep a garbage nearby to dump anything that is just plain gross and garbage-y.
Now we get to go through our pile again! I know what you are thinking… why would I do that? Well, I suggest going through each individual category to check to missing pieces/parts. Make sure everything in said category is worth keeping. And that everything is actually in the correct category.
Same goes with games, doll clothes/shoes/accessories, etc. I make sure to check everything. Why hold onto one piece when it will never be played with? I also create piles for sell and donate as we go through the piles again. This is a really easy way to make sure you can visually see all the toys your children have accumulated and what you can part with while decluttering kids toys. Once everything has been given a second look, remove the donate and sell pile from your work space. We are only going to be focusing on putting away the remaining toys that you are keeping.
So getting everything sorted and categorized is easy for most of my clients…but the tricky part is where to actually store them. I like to start by creating zones for kids toy storage ideas. I ask my clients where do the kids play at different times during the day. This greatly impacts where I store toys. When I hear clients say the kids play all over the home, I try to get them to narrow down specifically where and when.
Use these questions to determine where to place toys. Let's say your kiddos play in their bedrooms while you get ready in the morning. Make sure you keep an ample amount of toys in their bedroom for them to play with. After school tends to lead the kids to the basement for games and some down-time, then make sure you keep those types of toys in that space to allow them to relax after a tough day of learning. Keep toys at their level so they can easily find and put away toys once they are finished! Kids like to mimic you cooking? Keep your play kitchen with play food near you while you cook meals. It will actually reduce the amount of "extra" toys that make their way into the kitchen during meal time. Hiding toys around the living room can also be super helpful in creating kids toy storage solutions.
Now it is your turn to set the date to actually start organizing and decluttering kids toys once and for all! Start by collecting every single toy you have in the house/car/etc. Then sort and categorize the giant pile. Go through all the categories again to make sure you have all the pieces/parts. Store the toys in areas around the house that make sense with where they play. And label everything.
