I much prefer the Roku interface for Netflix and You Tube over what my blu ray player provides.
Plus Roku's built-in search really is awesome.

With shipping, $99.98 plus state tax
Thousands of 'em, including the surprisingly entertaining WWE channel, which isn't on smart TVs/DVD players yet. Granted, a huge number of those channels are religious oriented, but a lot more are entertainment or news oriented. My Sony BluRay has a pitiful 2 dozen or so apps compared to Roku.
I bought one of these the last time woot was selling them, along with the 2 new units I have purchased. I have an Amazon Prime account, and share a Netflix account along with OTA. I havenn't even noticed not having cable. For the remote issue with the refurbs, open the battery case and push the button, thats it, not rocket science.

I really don't see what all the fuss is about. Most people already have ways to do things like watch netflix, hulu, amazon etc and stream files on their local network. This doesn't even do dlna, obviously, needs plex. I'm not seeing a way within plex media server to add entire folders so I am forced to add each file individually. No way I'd want to do that with terabytes of crap. I guess the roku 3 has a USB slot but only supports a limited amount of file types. No avi I believe? I only paid 25 bucks for mine after two days I am over it. The private channels suck and I already have 3 gaming consoles with much better versions of apps like netflix. Unless I can find some sweet .bundle plug ins on GitHub I will eventually give mine to a friend.
Ps. Plex roku channel now costs five bucks after the trial expires. For free you can add the private channel: rarflix
Works well
The Plex channel is free. To add a folder to Plex, just click on the plus icon, tell it what type of media, and then select the folder. Very easy. It will scan for whatever you told it to. My Blu-ray player does DLNA, but the interface is terrible compared to Plex so I stick with that.
Originally I tried using mine at an apartment. According to the service rep I spoke to, some routers have interference issues. So to completely remove that possibility, I brought it home to my place in the sticks where the only wifi signal was my own. After switching the router to the suggested channel, it was still a complete and utter no-go. Roku sent me a brand new unit that works perfectly. So... be patient... attempt to work through all the issues... don't get too PO'd at the phone rep (who you may or may not be able to understand terribly well) as they have a script to work from. In the end, they WILL make it right... and this is one heck of a deal!

I'm curious as to what Amazons steaming stick and/or box will offer. It is hard to compete with them price-wise usually.
Except that the new Roku Streaming Stick uses HDMI, not MHL. Sure, Chromecast is cheaper (although I've yet to see it on sale), but I plan on tossing mine aside for either this Roku 3 or their stick.
Woot community deal posted for a refurb Roku 2 XS for $48.95 shipped. Same thing but with slightly older processor and minus the headphone jack. Still ethernet and WiFi. Still USB. Still non-IR remote.
All that glitters is sometimes not gold. I bought a Roku direct from their website. In less than six months, I have gone through 3. Two have been defective. Makes you wonder why they are featured on Woot as "refurbished". If buying check the warranty!
I have two Roku 3 units, both purchased new, and love them. I'd like to get another one for my husband but am having a hard time feeling comfortable about a refurb, from so many problems I've read all over internetland about the refurbs. *sigh*
But if it works, like both of mine do, it is really awesome. I also really love the earbuds. I have tinnitus which often causes me a lot of trouble hearing everything going on in a show or movie. With headphones or earbuds I can hear so much better. Earbuds are nice because you can lay down without the bulk of the big wireless headphones.
The sound is excellent and I can walk all around my house without any interference or degradation of sound.
I just wish I could get comfortable with the notion of a refurb. Would like another one but would not like to shell out another $100.
I purchased 2 Sony streaming media players, a SMP-N100 and a SMP-N200. Both were great at streaming shows from Crackle. Then I got a subscription to Netflix. Both Sonys go into an endless re-buffering mode making watching movies on Netflix basically worthless. A 2 hour movie can take 4+ hours to watch. Contacted Sony to find out how to fix this, but was told nothing would help. I also purchased a Roku XD years ago (from Woot) and just hooked it up after all these years. It is infinitely better than the Sony players. It seems to need to re-buffer once or twice, but watching a movie is so much better now.
The Roku Streaming Stick is just $49.99 BRAND NEW at many online stores.
I just got it and it is DANDY! I recommend people get it, if they have an HDMI input on their TV.
Fear no refurb, I have yet to be burned (and I buy a LOT of refurb tech gadgets). No internal moving parts, so if it's working when you get it and you don't treat it like a hockey puck, it should* keep working.
* - if you really want to keep this or any wired gadget with a board & processor happy, use a power filter/surge protector (even better, one with a battery backup). Power fluctuations cause stress over time.
I currently own 2 x Roku 2 XS (refurbed) and 1 x Roku 3 players. I have also since cut the cable cord and do everything on my Roku devices. Their are more than enough channels to keep one entertained and when you combine with the Plex channel, you can watch the local (CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS) channels. I also have Hulu + so I can watch some FOX stuff on their. I can also watch my movies/TV that I own on my Netgear NAS. I wished I had made the switch a long time ago. Best media device on the market, currently, IMO.
In for one... with fingers crossed...
I bought Roku 3 back in Dec 2013 when they had it on woot. It came in and I could not get the remote to pair. Yes I knew about the switch in the remote.... but the remote did NOT have the switch. Also switched out to fresh batteries. No joy.
What made matters worse is the weeks of delay by Woot customer service. Just returned it back to them finally after a month of emails.
In this case if this one doesnt work again I will just work with Roku directly as I really want the Roku 3 ... I just dont have the confidence in Woot customer service the way its been the past year or so. A subsidiary owned by Amazon I expect better.
But Roku is a great product, on all else of the new ones I have purchased (5 total) I only had the one refurb dud from woot, the rest had no problem.
And the wifi is great, I can stream 720p video all the way across the house with metal studs and multiple walls, whilst my other network bridges etc struggle these Rokus do a pretty good job with wifi signal and reception. Of course this Roku 3 has ethernet which is fine as I have a ethernet switch cable drop in the living room for all my media center stuff.
Lets see what happens...

Thanks for the info! I treat my electronics pretty well and have either UPS or surge protectors on everything.
What's the battery life like on the remote when using it with headphones? I can't imagine it would be too good since it's going from needing power to transmit input every now and then to constantly streaming audio, but it's a cool enough feature it may have me interested.
I bought one from Woot and another from Amazon, both refurbished. Both had weak batteries and failed to pair. Put in new batteries and they paired fine. Don't waste time trying to pair without changing batteries. After that, great device!
I bought two of these last time. One had a bad power cord. I was able to switch the good one between the two to confirm this. Woot customer service BLOWS to the point that I will no longer buy from Woot. I sent emails to them and would receive a reply about every three weeks. The first couple replies led me to believe they didn't read my email requests for an operable power cord. Finally...nothing. They never did follow through. They just quit responding. Great device, but Woot has gone so far down hill with customer service they are no longer worth it.
The Wii also has the YouTube channel (free). A few comments--one by a Wii owner--made me think this isn't known. Most people probably do know that they can watch Netflix on the Wii. This is a PSA and nothing against the Roku3, which looks like a good product.
So this is like the 5th time Woot has has offered this item at this price. The reviews and comments on this item are overwhelmingly positive.
Here's what I don't understand: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY REFURBS IF THIS ITEM IS SO GREAT?
This is even the 2nd time this month Woot has had this available. There has to be something going on for so many of these to have been returned and re-sold. WHAT GIVES???

Hah! Indeed great question. I am in for one. I wondered the same as I was placing my order in. hum...
Well, just from reading the complaints, a lot of people couldn't pair the remote to the player, so they sent them back. So what may have just been a faulty remote ended up in a lot of units sent back to Woot that aren't actually faulty.

I have the Roku 3 and I have not used anything else since I got it.
With Roku 3 you can cable cut without any question. put USTV now app for some free networks and youre free as a bird. Can you do that with your Sony ?
I have the Roku 3 and the Sony BR with apps...think Starship compared to a Model T Ford, seriously. The R3 is a world of entertainment available nowhere else. I'm currently watching a channel called ADC, mostly Australian and New Zealand movies and TV, its free as are hundreds of others.
Do yourself a favor, get one.

83jagman wrote:Here's what I don't understand: WHY ARE THERE SO MANY REFURBS IF THIS ITEM IS SO GREAT?
There's a carp load of refurbs for ANY popular electronic device. The amount of refurbished Apple Macs and iPods dwarfs the amount of Rokus. TONS of refurbished Samsung Galaxy devices. Woot has just become obsessed with the Roku for some reason. Something had to replace the Dyson...
Trust the reviews. They're written by people like you and I. Hundreds of random people don't all say the same thing for no reason.
If any of you folks are interested in cutting the cord and getting off cable a guy named Wizwor who is on here sometimes has a very good blog called the beer's on comcast. A lot of integrating roku with simple.Tv devices sold here including some antenna info. Very informative blog with some Roku articles. ... here is link not sure we can link but here goes:
Sorry I'm late. Here are all the answers to all of your questions...
This is a Roku 3. It is the best supported and most powerful Roku. It's not the most recent model, and, in my opinion, it's not the best.
The Good: It's 5x faster processor than the others. It is the best supported model -- the YouTube and Netflix updates hit this model first.
The Bad: No composite out. Even if you do not have an older TV with no HDMI, composite audio is a very cool feature. You can route this audio out to a soundbar, a receiver's aux audio, or even amplified speakers so you can listen to Pandora or Spotify without running your TV.
The Ugly: WiFi remote! To allow you to listen to audio via an earbud jack on the R3 remote, they stream remote commands and audio via WiFi. This causes interference issues including choppy sound and an unresponsive remote. Worse, when your WiFi router is interfered with, it throttle speed to improve connection quality. Of course, if you do plug earbuds into that jack, keep a box of batteries nearby.
Here is a chart comparing the features of all the currently available Rokus including the veneralbe Roku 2 XS which is my favorite...
Here is another chart comparing the processing power of the various models...
It's easy to see that this Roku is much faster than the others, but, since the Roku has been streaming HD for years and the Rokus released after this one reverted to a slower processor, you might wonder what all those extra bogoloops are doing for you.
Back to the questions...
Q. Can this play files from an NFS mount.
A. Maybe. They have to be in the right format and there has to be some kind of server software in the mix.
Q. Is the new stick a Chromecast killer.
A. No it is a really inexpensive variant of the Roku 2 family.
Q. What does this offer that my other streamer doesn't?
A. Whether you have an Xbox, a SMP, or a BD player, it's all about the channels. Compare the content your current streamer can play to what you see at http://www.roku.com/channels. Read the descriptions carefully because the Roku Fox News Channel IS NOT what you get on Comcast.
Q. What do channels and content cost?
A. Some apps (channels) cost money, some apps (Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, MLB.com, etc.) require you to pay a monthly or annual fee for content. Some charge for the app and again for the content. Some require you authenticate with a cable provider. There are some very good, free apps...
Out of the box, your Roku will have THOUSANDS of channels (apps) of programming. These channels may free or you may have to buy them. You may also have to pay a monthly or annual fee for content. Netflix, MLB.com, and Hulu are free apps, but you have to pay for their content. Here are some free apps with free content...
ADC: Free movie channel
Amazon Cloud Player: Play all the free music Amazon sends my way
CNN: Includes CNN International Live for background news and information
Crackle: Sony's FREE version of Netflix
CS50: Harvard Intro to Computer Science course
Comedy Time: 'Play All' makes for good background noise
CBSSports.com: 'Play All' feature makes for a nice sports news channel
CNBC: Streaming business news for news and information
FoxNews: Stream from web site plus clips of popular shows with 'Play All'
Kaplan College Prep: Help your kid with his SATs
Lecture Kings: Librivox audio box is hidden in a channel of university lectures
Nowhere TV
OVGuide: Free movie channel
Popflix Classic TV: 26 Men, Adventures of Robin Hood, The Beverly Hillbillies, Bonanza, Burns and Allen, Date with the Angels, Dragnet, Life with Elizabeth, The Lone Ranger, The Lucy Show, Man with a Camera, Petticoat Junction, Sherlock Holmes, Westerns, You Bet Your Life
PubDHub: The stuff your dad used to reminisce about — ancient cartoons, PSAs, commercials, and movies
Smithsonian: Better than the Discovery channel
TWiT: Steve Gibson, Leo Laporte, and others talk tech
WSJ Live: WSJ had good election coverage
Q. Can I watch live/local television on my Roku?
A. If you like local programming/broadcast television, Aereo [aereo.com] streams these for $8 (one set) to $12 (two sets) per month. Aereo includes a 'cloud DVR' as well. Aereo works well, but many complained about buffering during the Superbowl and it is on-demand, so after watching the Big Bang Theory, you bounce out to their menu and select Two and a Half Men, etc. (In April the Supreme Court will hear a case that may determine that Aereo is not legal; google is your friend)
Q. Why are there so many refurbs?
A. Because Roku is not the same as cable, networking is hard, the internet is getting congested, and the cable guy won't come to your house and make it work. This is not a toaster. A lot of people find making things work a lot harder than expected and the results a lot less than promised. Good for the rest of us, right?
Q. Why don't these have a slot for a cable card?
A. Because they don't.
Q. Is the Plex channel free?
A. No it is not. It's been $4.99 since December.
Q. Should I get a refurb?
A. (Sorry Woot) Some have complained that Woot and Newegg have been really bad with refurbs -- shipping junk and not supporting their customers. I've only ever had one problem with a refurb (R2XS remote) and Roku shipped me a new one right away. Call Roku if you have problems. DO NOT USE their forums unless you need exercise. RokuShawnS et all will have you running around in circles and jumping through hoops.
Q. Can I watch YouTube on my Roku?
A. YES. The Roku 3 (this one) has an official YouTube app. For other models, check out VideoBuzz.
Thanks for the plug inirons and happy streaming to the rest of you!
PS, I think the Mohu Channels is going to be a lot of fun. Be sure to check out their Kickstarter project before it closes!
The new roku stick is HDMI, not MHL, and uses an external power supply. I believe that's just like chromecast.
That means you can decide between the roku stick and this deal based on your favored ethernet transport mechanism and other features.
Im not an expert by any means, but i believe if your NFS has some type of media server or is DLNA compliant, the ROKU media player will play certain audio and video types. I can view videos from my GoPro or from movies ive saved via handbrake. search for more info on the roku media player and you might find the warm fuzzy you're looking for. I was yearning for this capability until the latest Roku media player came out.
bakerzdosen wrote:Maybe (just maybe) someone can answer what Google hasn't helped me with:
Will this play movies from an NFS mount?
I'm leaning towards one of these but no NFS is a deal breaker. I use XBMC for everything else, but would like to try one of these guys if it'll do it.
would this would stream video overseas? I brought a Vizio smart tv with me to Brazil thinking it'd be good for playing netflix, etc. Unfortunately, Vizio's netflix app doesn't work out of the US I came to find out. Thanks!

Lots of problems using outside the country. People use proxies to look like they are in the US, but, generally, this is illegal and unsupported.

229 sec. 1 - Courts & Social Policy (Fall 2014)
Instructor: Malcolm M. Feeley (view instructor's teaching evaluations | profile)
View all teaching evaluations for this course
Units: 3
Meeting Time: Th 2:10-5:00
Meeting Location: 2240 Piedmont
Course Start: August 28, 2014
Class Number (formerly Course Control Number) (Non-1Ls): 49598
The seminar explores legal and political science scholarship that examines both the theory and practice of courts. It explores the politicalization of the judiciary, and the judicialization of politics, that is how courts are used as resources by ruling regimes (including establishing independent courts,) and how the principle of constitutionalism (e.g. written constitutions providing for bills of rights and judicial review) judicializes politics by requiring courts to make important political rulings. The seminar explores the rise of the judiciary in policy making since the middle of the twentieth century, and explores recent efforts to reformulate the nature of courts and their alternatives that have accompanied the decline of the jury trial, the rise of expansive judicial remedies, and the rise of new theories of the judiciary (e.g. restorative justice; problem-solving courts) that seem to transform courts into administrative agency-like institutions. While the focus will be on courts in the US courts, a considerable portion of the readings will explore non-American courts.

Trends, fashion, celebrities, events, music, and all things only Vegas
Earth Day is all about going "green" -- and for buildings, that means ecofriendly and sustainable construction.
In Vegas, though, our green comes in different shades -- mainly gold and silver.
City Center, MGM Resorts International's$8.5 billion mega-complex on the Strip, is the biggest project ever to receive LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) gold certification. Here are some ways you can experience Earth Day at City Center.
Caesars Entertainment Corp. recent expansion of the Octavius Convention Center at Caesars Palace garnered silver LEED certification as well.
Is platinum a color? OK, maybe not, but the Las Vegas Springs Preserve earned platinum LEED certification for its 149,000+ square feet of buildings, making them among the most green in the nation.
MGM Resorts also claims the Strip's only water recycling plant, at Treasure Island. It processes 100,000 gallons of gray water daily. The recycled water is then used in the Sirens Cove at TI, at the Volcano at The Mirage, and for landscaping.

This shirt of yours has such a magical, ethereal quality .
It is obviously VERY carefully done, with plenty of thought and precision in the design work. It is another wonderful example of this side of your repertoire and very deservedly belongs in the top 3.

Six or seven is Superfluos. Said shirt, singularly; said sunset is simply stupendous.

I hope you decide to keep the shirt white, I think for this shirt it is really adding something (all that white space says "silence" to me...)
I hope your resub goes well, It's a hassle but better than the alternative!! I WISH I had seen a show in Austin!

Re: Salty Sea Snack (On Black)
I really like the colors on this illustration and all the detail it has. The thing that bothers me a little is that, to me, the octopus and the ship don´t look they´re ocupying the same space, and his eyes don´t really seem to be focusing on the ship, but rather something else. But maybe that´s just me... Either way, good concept and illustration.

DAYUM girl! Your designs are just getting better and better. I've been a fan of yours since I saw you first submitting, and I can't believe how much your style has evolved in the last few weeks! This looks fantastic! The proportions on the mermaids seem a teeny bit off, but that is not too big of a deal. The colors may be a bit girly as well, but I think they were great choices for an underwater piece! Keep up the good work, snowqueen. I loooove this =)
Also, I am REALLY hoping you get an HM from the "Madness" derby. The Lady in the Woods is my favorite piece of yours, and I hope to see those trees in a future design! They were amazing!

Discussion in 'Great Skate Debate' started by morqet, Jun 19, 2013.
From COI:
Daisuke Takahashi - SP Sonatina + 'Eye'
I think they need one segment of the familiar music--a beautiful melody--to contrast with the interesting, dramatic, and dissonant rest of the Prokofiev cuts. Ending with dissonance/death is good, but some straight romance in the middle.
I"m glad someone else feels the same as I. Both programs seem rather bare compared even to some I saw at Finlandia this week-end. Ashley's jumps seem badly placed in the choreography . Who choreographed this? I hope these were just bare bone versions of their programs.
Why only "this" competition? It's been the story of his life in just about every competition.
On the contrary: PCS scoring is too consistent, since the vast majority of the other component scores are anchored to Skating Skills. Even Buttle raves about Chan's skating skills -- not just the efficiency of the blade, speed, and power, but all of the bullet points in the SS description -- and has said they're superior. That explains why Chan's PCS are higher than Buttle's, why Chan gets a PCS lift across the board, and why great interpretations and choreography are held down to the SS mark.
I think skaters are supposed to emote ala Liza or project like Joubert to get good pcs, or they can have ss one notch above everyone like Chan. Or else your PCS is stuck in the middle of the road.
Which isn't fair. Good emoting doesn't mean good ss and transitions
Because some people love beating dead horses in irrelevant threads.
I don't know what to think about Ashley's program. On one hand, I'm glad she landed her jumps and went for the 3-3. On the other hand, on first viewing, I hate how the music is put together. It just seems random and loud and doesn't go anywhere. I usually like rarely used parts of familiar pieces, but this is to me.
I agree. I've rewatched Ashley's LP a few times, and I think I understand it and like it more every time I watch it. And I love the inner drama. But one familiar cut/ lyrical cut might be welcome. Ashley actually has it in the middle- and it works better on rewatching. I cannot believe I advocate more conformity, but some lyrical music in the middle can break up the turmoil and frame it better, so it is actually more effective.
Javier What a fabulous program!
Tatsuki Machida skated his short program to "East of Eden" at Carnival on Ice(the gala show of JO). Oh my..this is one of the most favorite Olympic programs in this season, which I've seen so far. Love his artistry!
many thanks to the youtube user
I posted the translation of Machida's interviews at Kinki Regionals in the thread of Japanese skaters. He talked a bit of his "East of Eden".
Thanks! I am going to look for his Beatles program as I think I've only seen a bit of practice.
I really like his skating, but I hope that someone takes care to see that he does not get into the arm flailing territory like we have seen in some other men and ladies programs.
I don't understand Lori's music editing for Dai's LP.
I have expected Dai's Beatles such as Abbott's 'a day in the life' SP feel.
Is Lori too focused on Caro & D10?
I love it! It would be nice if Team Japan swept the podium at Skate America again.
I haven't seen the skates. But I don't agree with it, when its Dai either.
Thanks Seabm7 for the Jeff Buttle video. He made some mistakes but I still feel his artistry is amazing. When Jeff skates, my eyes are just glued to him.
That was absolutely gorgeous!! I think this is my favorite SP thus far as well!
I love Machida
Machida is lovely and I really enjoyed his version of East of Eden. Enjoyed it when Kwan used it and also Machida's version as well.
OMG can we please just give Japan six slots for men at the Olympics already? They are all too good to be left home!
Yes, let's all write a petition to IOC. Give Japan six spots!
Thanks, rosewood, have to check this out, as I love Michelle's version (of course) and Rachael's (ditto).
I agree, t.mann.
I suppose it was because Jeremy Abbott's was such a true masterpiece that I was expecting something similar from Daisuke, another artist on ice, therefore I was a tad disappointed by his Beatles program. However, I am confident that Daisuke can make something out of anything!, so am not too worried.
Daisuke's interview just released today http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpjk...ew-vl&list=PLXpyLYDvslxAGf6yQs0usGIpfPRmhr4LV
Where he explains of his new Free Program saying that at the 4th song out of Beatles Medley, i.e. In My Life, he is figuring a shape "S" in his footwork and do create a heart shape with his arms; and when Lori did this choreography she asked him to thank for his skating life, thank for the history of skating, and thank for the audience when he skates.
When Daisuke was explaining this, he was almost in tear. What a program, thank Lori !!
There is something about EOE that immediately grabs you, and when it is skated to well it is overwhelming .
Are the protocols available yet? Ashley's score (119) is not that much higher than Mirai's at Finlandia (110), so I wonder if she had a few ur's too. She has her work cut out for her imo.
From earlier in the thread:
Wagner had 2 < called: 3F+3T< and 3Lo<+2T.
Here you go:
Credit goes to rosewood from post #83 of this thread:
I have no doubt that AW will correct the UR issues at least on the 3loop. Her 3f-3t was better than I expected but most importantly, she was so happy after the LP. Big psychological barrier overcome with landing a reasonably good 3-3 IMO

On a recent episode of TWiV, we posed the question, 'Can computer viruses evolve'? and asked listeners to weigh in. The author of the blog nostacktrace spent some time thinking about this issue and concludes that the evolution of real computer programs doesn't really work. Software instructions are very brittle. They cary out a specific set of instructions, and those instructions are so densely coded that almost all mutations or recombinations would yield completely non-functional programs. But he agrees that computational evolution might not be impossible.

Hello, everyone.
I understand the variations available to a Fett costumer, and I'm learning more and more all the time about costume building, etc. However, perhaps you can answer one question that isn't so easy.
As a first time Fett costumer (not necessarily a first time costumer), which of the Fett variants would you recommend starting with in terms of availability, difficulty of build, etc? For example, is it easier to source, say, Special Edition parts than it is ESB parts, etc? I'm thinking ROTJ, but would value any and all input.

Vanessa at Feministing directed me towards this shining gem from President Obama:
As you know, I'm pro choice. But I think we also have a tradition of, in this town, historically, of not financing abortions as part of government funded health care. Rather than wade into that issue at this point, I think that it's appropriate for us to figure out how to just deliver on the cost savings, and not get distracted by the abortion debate at this station. (Emphasis mine)
What. The fuck.
So, we're giving up the health and independence of millions of women in the name of tradition now? Is that how it's going to be? Where is our History and our Tradition going to get us if all we do is use that tradition to justify oppressive, sexist choices? If we use them to excuse giving into pressure from anti-abortion forces?
Tradition is nice, as a narrative force. As an ornamental facet of government, it helps us to remember our roots and take pride in our national accomplishments. It establishes a sense of continuity. It's a Christmas tree. It's an Inaugural parade. It's a reminder of the past. I'm not against it, but traditions are personal and should only be a significant factor in decision making for individuals.
When it comes to government action, its only use is in rituals and celebrations. Tradition is rooted in how things were, and we need to attend to the fierce urgency of now - the women who need abortions, or might need it, and don't have the privilege that I would have of relying on my family for financial help if needed.
But tradition wasn't acceptable justification for having an all-white all-male all the time government, or in any matter of policy. It's an empty word that is unacceptable as justification for legislation - especially when that legislation constitutes lives lost or saved. In matters or women's lives, in matters of health, it is a trite way to say "wait your turn."
I have a tradition myself. It's a tradition of not being pregnant. I expect his support on that. That's just how things work in the town of my uterus.
Obama has a tendency to justify oppression and unfair acts with tradition, with his religion, and then also make the claim that he's "pro-choice" or "a fierce advocate for equality". It's bullshit. It's bullshit, and we need to hold him responsible when he tries to empty his obligation to the people who voted for him. Obama's tradition seems to consist of using words that mean a lot to us - "pro-choice", "equality" - to garner votes and support, and then bailing when it's time to pay up.
I know it's early in his administration, but we've been losing ground for eight years. Now is not the time to quit pushing or wait or turn. Now is the time for those who support abortion rights to let Obama know that we're not going to put up with this. This is our right, and we need support on it. We're the ones who elected Obama. It's time to let him know, as Shark-Fu said, that the bill is past due, and make our collection calls.
Are you pissed, too? Go here to tell someone about it.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
I've just negotiated the purchase of my second boat. The sellers asking price was very reasonable, and had already been discounted for some needed repairs, so he wasn't willing to accept a lower offer. However, I was able to negotiate some other benefits.
Since I'm buying in the fall, I wanted the boat to remain on his property for the winter. The seller also agreed to shrink-wrap the boat. On top of this, the seller has allowed me use of his mooring for the next season. All of this has added up to several thousand dollar worth of saved storage, maintenance, and mooring fees.
If the asking price is firm, look for other concessions.
This contract has been recommended to buyers several times in different posts on this listserv as a fair contract and I just want potential buyers to realize that it was drafted to protect the broker's and the seller's interests, and not the buyer's interests.
The broker's interests are to earn a commission, to quickly resolve a sale one way or the other, and to avoid being sued, all while protecting the seller, and the contract reflects that.
(I have no quarrel with a written disclosure of the agency relationship, which could more properly be done on a separate form much earlier in the process when the broker first has a substantive discussion with the potential buyer.)
James, I think you're right in your interpretation. However, why would the buyer care, they are all statements of fact.
If you trying to exclude the affirmation of single seller agency so that you may argue otherwise in favor of the buyer, that is unethical. The broker does only represent the seller, unless the seller has hired and paid for their own separately. Taking advantage of not affirming this is the reason these contracts proliferate.
One more complaint about the standard broker contract:
Why is the broker named in the contract when it is not necessary (presumably the seller has a written listing contract creating his obligation to pay the broker when certain conditions are met) and the broker is not a party/signatory to the contract?
At least three explanations could be given, none of which favor the buyer:
1. The broker is getting the seller to reaffirm its obligation to pay a commission for this particular sale;
2. The broker is protecting itself from a claim of dual agency or agency for the buyer by having the buyer admit that the broker works solely for the seller; and,
3. The broker is attempting to make itself a third-party beneficiary to the contract, to lay the foundation for a possible lawsuit against the buyer for a loss of commission due to buyer's breach of the contract, even though buyer does not have an express contract with the broker.

If you want to protect yourself against other smaller things that do not meet the standard of "fraud," (such as suing instead of arbitrating disputes over condition, etc.) I can see why you would want to modify the contract.

They just arn't relevant to the real-world boat buying process, I would expect if you tried to introduce an open liability for the seller (not to mention the broker) for defects in a used boat, which they may or may not know about, you would find yourself unable to buy a boat.
I think this tread was about how the boat buying process does and does not work, and someone taking your reservations to a deal would at least result in a lot of spinning wheels and legal battling to probably no gain.
If these comments not only theory, can you share an actual boat purchase contract reflecting them?

The big issue in these cases (or any case concerning the sale of a physical object) is fraud or misrepresentation concerning the condition and quality of the vessel. It seems the buyer has to pay to discover whether the seller and broker are honest, and if they are not, then the buyer can only recover his survey costs and he may have to force the issue by paying for arbitration.
Most people are honest and act in good faith. In most transactions, the written contract is never tested.
If the seller or broker are dishonest and I suffer damages as a result, I want to be able to sue them for fraud. The fear of being sued, and particularly being sued for fraud, does keep some folks honest. Unfortunately, industry practices sometimes conform to the standard forms used, and in this case, there is little incentive for the seller and broker to honestly disclose the true condition of the vessel.
Obviously, this contract was drawn up to protect the interests of the broker and the seller, and not the buyer. It would be difficult to amend the form to alter the basic structure of the transaction, with its reliance on the buyer's "acceptance" for final formation.
Look at the recent posting by the buyer who bought a boat only to discover that it had severe damage from a grounding that would cost him thousands of dollars. It is difficult to believe that the seller or broker did not know about that damage and failed to correct it or reveal it. A buyer can spend a lot of money buying a boat, not only for the survey, but also airline tickets, hotels, meals, valuable time lost, etc. At a minimum, the buyer is out the cost of a haulout and perhaps a survey.
"Buyer beware" should not be used a license to the seller and broker to act dishonestly, and the standard form that is used in the industry should not provide cover to the seller and broker to commit fraud with impunity.

Any official on this? This would prevent some illegal distribution of files if I'm the first who upload my files there, or not?
It's in their Terms of Service:
8. Our service may automatically delete a piece of data you upload or give someone else access to where it determines that that data is an exact duplicate of original data already on our service. In that case, you will access that original data.
So by 'delete your file', I think it's perhaps more of a space saving technique? Then again, I'm not sure how it would work if one of the users deletes their file? I'd imagine, it would be an empty action as it cannot be deleted (as other people still access it). Similarly, I wonder who has legal responsibility over the files (i.e. which uploader).
It's nice to be able to actually read a terms of service agreement without getting confused with the copious amounts of technical and legal jumbo too. A ToS that people can actually read, understand and comfortably agree to.
They may record some kind of checksum. Both files having same size and same checksum could be assumed to be the same. Unless you know their checksum formula and intentionally create 2 same sized but different files producing same checksum, chances are those files are the same i guess. So if one of the files is zipped, it is considered a different file.
Small files could produce same checksums so maybe they do this only for big files to save space.

How addicting is Maple Story? On a scale from 1-10? I would say it is about an 8. I like setting in game challenging goals which kind of keeps me addicted. What do you think, how addicting really is Maple Story?

for me probably 2, endless grindfest isn't very fun. But since big bang changed the xp rate by a ton i might come back to it.
Overpowered classes are stupid :P
Fun for the first 120 levels, but that's about it :/

"We live in a very special time: the only time where we can observationally verify that we live at a very special time." -Lawrence Krauss
I played it up to level 40 back when it was still hard to level (I played it 6 months to get there!) and although it was just a boring endless grind, I played it for this long, so it might be quite a bit addiction.
Though now that I've played WonderKing, the controls in MapleStory feel so slow and crappy...
Pre BB: 3. It's a game that is awesome at start, but became slow when you hit 20's and had to do the PQ constantly from 20+
Post BB: 4. With a faster start, you breeze through and the grind doesn't hit until where it should, the latter levels where you actually have decent skills. Fighting for a common grinding spot and listening to a bunch of 12 year olds with their classical teenage "I'm right, you're wrong; I know everything - Therefore I am priority, NOW STOP KSING ME NOOB", or the alternates of "u nob kser u TROLLOLOLO ME HAHA am so original ^^"
Both of those though, movement is not so fun compared to WonderKing and fighting in general.
Got addicted to it for 2 days after that I never touched MapleStory.exe again. Thats what happens to me everytime I try a new game.
Sorry but I don't like this game. The quests are boring and annoying. A bit too much for little kids. My friends say that this game is so great! I hardly tried it three times because I trusted them and I tought I only knew the dark side of it. So sorry but No.
It's one of the MMORPGs that I always go back to. I now play the private servers, but I play GMS (Nexon's Maplestory) every year for awhile.
Personally, I would give it a 8/10. It's a game that looks like it's for kids, but once you play it start it's hard to stop. It's one of those games you just go back to when you dont know what to play.
I did enjoy the game for a little bit of time but after level 80 I just got so bored, I still play it when I'm really bored but for the most part the addiction to it died for me.
My opinion is that Maplestory is outdated and either needs improvement, or they need to remake it

text: My first year hives seem very strong, but my screened bottom board trays indicate that they have Varroa. I have vaporized with several rounds of Oxalic to try to knock them back and noticed significant drop. I was just wondering how the remaining Varroa survive the winter if your queen quits laying?...do they just winter on the bees, or do they leave dormant eggs in the cells, or ? Just curious.-Mike

I am glad I have way too many other things to do than be obsessed with making a 17 year old have a baby after what some would call a sin, or force a rape victim to carry to term.
Let's say that a pregnant woman decides she wants to have an abortion. Our law says that she's within her rights to kill the baby. Now, let's say that the pregnant woman is murdered on her way to the abortion clinic. The murderer can be charged with two counts of murder - one for the woman, and one for the unborn baby.
And as far as convicted repeat murderers,the expense does not have to be that great.Injections are cheap.So is hanging. After they have their day in court,we do not need to keep them for thirty years.
Quoteand I can hear differing opinions without calling someone stupid. no you can't. you are a liberal. you can pretend to hear what others say, but because you believe your intentions are the best, your opinion is all that matters to you. you believe that you have the moral high ground and everyone else and their opinions are trash to be swept up.just what biology are you talking about, BTW?
and I can hear differing opinions without calling someone stupid.
When someone opines that rape CANNOT produce pregnancy, that's completely untrue, I will call them stupid, and I feel no need to try to see the world the way they do.
When abortion comes up, I keep inviting people to take in 5-10 unwanted children. It is so, so, SO easy to argue against abortion and then turn a blind eye to the 100s of 1000s of unwanted children who don't have much of a chance in life. I am seeing this very up close and personal right now, so I feel strongly about this, and not just hypothetically.
So please don't tell me that I "pretend" to hear what others say. Perhaps most of the conservative commentary on here is so offensive and abrasive that it's harder to listen to than the people I normally talk to.
Okay, looked it up--Akin, and on the Hous
What about those who don't commit crimes but suffer every day of their lives
"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."
"If it's a legitimate rape, the female body has ways to try to shut that whole thing down."the part of the statement that got him into trouble was the legitimate rape part. i know exactly what he meant and so did everyone who heard it. this is the way of the left. when one of theirs says something stupid, they excuse it. when a conservative says something...not even stupid, but which can be twisted to fit their needs, they are all over it. you say you lose track of which republican said which crazy thing, but i'd be willing to bet that if you make lists of stupid comments, the list for the left would be far longer....but hey, as long as they mean well....it's all good.

You can have a girly baby shower in just about any theme, especially with the right planning and party decorations. The trick is mixing the right amount of pink and girl themed party favors with your desired decorations. Some of our favorite girly baby shower themes include:

In our opinion, this is the area where you can easily add that touch of pink to your theme. One area where a lot of people have fun with decorating for a girly baby shower is wall decorations. Don't be afraid to purchase baby shower themed balloons, banners, and pink streamers to decorate the walls and different area around your chosen venue.

10% alcohol, under screwcap.
Very pale straw in colour with shy aromatics that slowly open and evolve with air to show citrus fruits, guava, herbs, seawater and rocks. Very light, bone dry and precise in the mouth with flavours of cucumber, lime and guava lifted by bright acidity and a intense stony mineral character underneath. Finishes long and refreshing, lovely wine.

Instead of wearing white, some brides will wear a colored wedding gown. Instead of having the flower girl or ring bearer throw petals or hold a pillow, some brides choose creative items for them to carry. Instead of having a wedding, some couples decide to elope. What other tradition can a bride test the limits of? No cake! Here are our top surprising desserts that are in while three-tiered confections are on their way out:
Macarons: If you're looking for endless possibilities of flavor at your dessert table, incorporate these French sweets. Just to name a few, you can choose between flavors such as s'mores, dark chocolate ganache, cotton candy, orange creamsicle or pistachio.
Cake Balls: First, came cupcakes. Second, came cake pops. Third, came cake balls. Of course, third time's a charm, right? Well, cake balls are merely cake pops without a stick, and you most likely will not have the willpower to eat just one.
Mason Jar Cupcakes: Imagine a cake that is prepared, and even baked, inside the mason jar they are eaten from. All your guests need is a utensil, which means easy cleanup! Add gift tags or labels with your names and wedding date, and you have favors to pass out to your guests at the end of the night.
Mini Pies: Perfect for any rustic or ranch wedding, mini pies will make your guests feel right at home.
Donuts: Forget the candy bar and have a donut bar. Provide take home boxes, and guests will have breakfast for the morning after!
