Time Warner blackout of CBS goes into 2nd day – The Monitor: Business

Time Warner blackout of CBS goes into 2nd day

Posted: Saturday, August 3, 2013 3:42 pm

Time Warner Cable’s blackout of CBS continued Saturday, and neither side indicated a resolution of their dispute over fees is imminent.

Time Warner dropped CBS Friday in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas and several other cities, leaving three million customers without the network’s programs. The issue is fees that the cable company pays CBS to air its programs.

Each has accused the other of making unreasonable demands. On Saturday the two sides even seemed to disagree on the status of negotiations. A Time Warner spokeswoman said Saturday afternoon that negotiations are ongoing. CBS said it expects talks to resume soon, but the decision rests with Time Warner.

Without a deal, Time Warner customers were missing Tiger Woods’ attempt at his 8th win at Firestone Country Club near Akron, Ohio, in this weekend’s Bridgestone Invitational. Woods held a lead of 7 strokes as he played Saturday. CBS fans also won’t see programs such as “Under the Dome” or “60 Minutes.”

Read the complete story…………………

via Time Warner blackout of CBS goes into 2nd day – The Monitor: Business.

The proceeding is a story from The Monitor about Showtime and Time Warner Cable negotiations breakdown.

It looks as though their issues have been made into an issue for each subscriber to Time Warner. I understand TWC standing up to Showtime, but not sure it is the best idea to do it by making its clients suffer.

I would rather see TWC raise the cost and allow the public to decide which provider they wanted to use based on price, convenience and features.

It seems that both sides are using the angry and frustrated emotions of the subscribers to try and stick it too each other. It also seems that the only ones that are getting it stuck to them is the subscribers. – JW

Wicked Audio WI8152 HEADPHONES with Mic

Wicked HeadphonesWicked Audio WI8152 Headphones with Microphone – Where Talk Meets Music

I purchased these headphones over a month ago from Amazon as I needed something I could use as a headset when on a phone call, but could also double as a good set of headphones.

Most of the headphones on the market are really large or very small. The small ones always fall out of my ears and sometimes I do not want to have one side in my ear and the small ones do not do that well.

logo wicked audio shThe Wicked Audio headphones also can fold up nicely. Wish they came with a cool carrying case, but that would jack the price. I used a cool Sephora bag to put mine in as they fold down almost small enough to fit in your pocket, but definitely small enough to fit comfortably in a back pack.

The sound quality is extremely better than any small headphone I have owned… Yes even the expensive ones.

I talk to a ton of people on the phone and I have to turn down the volume as the gain is very high even for the bass… This makes phone calls decent even in a car!

I have not had any complaints on any calls about microphone quality. I used to hear all kinds of bitching about how bad my headsets sounded.

I prefer the in line (no blue tooth) corded headset. Blue tooth is always problematic for me at least. These headphones are crazy comfortable and light weight and not as flimsy as I thought they would be for fold up headphones…

pic wicked audio WI-8151Wicked makes a few colors of these headphones, I bought the black ones. I think they are very stylish and they do not look too old school or too young either.

I went to the Wicked Audio website and could not find these headphones on their site. I hope they have not discontinued them. The are available all over the web in plentiful numbers as of the posting of this article.

So I can say this was a great buy, at a decent price. I want to get an additional pair for working out as I don’t want to wear the one I sweated on for long periods.. TMI? – JW

I have been looking forward to using this product ever since I heard that Apriori Beauty was developing it. I have not been disappointed. The shampoo is highly concentrated so you do not need a lot to get great suds without using SLS.

My hair type is oily but after washing, it was clean without being stripped of essential oils.

The conditioner is very thick and rich and works great. I have also used it to shave and it moisturizes my beard well. I also tried as a leave in conditioner and though it may not be suited for that it did not cause flacking when it dried as have other products I have tried.

Without using the oil treatment, my hair was very soft and manageable, but with a small bit of the oil treatment run through my hair and I cannot stop touching my hair!! This stuff is wonderful. – JW
