They make an astonishing concession: they grant Tom Frank's main point. He argues that the Republicans have nothing to offer working people on ECONOMIC TERMS. The conservatives don't seem to disagree. They only argue that the Republicans are worth voting for on cultural terms alone, and seek to demonstrate that this is a legitimate way to vote.
This is new. Conservatives used to argue that they had the most to offer ordinary Americans ECONOMICALLY--and ALSO culturally. Now, on economics, they've simply given up. They've tacitly admitted that, for lower income folks at least, cultural conservatism is the party's sole appeal. A sad day for conservatism, and certainly evidence of its political decline.
And of course none of the conservative reviews can deal with the fact that the cultural battles the Republicans choose are bottomless unwinnable sinkholes. That's why I describe conservatives as having punk'd a nation: they offer their voters nothing in return but therapy.
Rick Perlstein
However, as the author points out, it was precisely the slippage of that ideal that spurred the populist movement of the 1890s in Kansas and throughout the South and West. A largely farming population saw the power of large business interests to control prices and to influence the federal government to maintain hard currency policies as destructive of a way of life as independent produces. They advocated for substantial governmental intervention in the economy to combat this loss of freedom. As the author notes, it was a movement of "producers versus parasites.Read more ›
Never mind the fact that many people -- of all political stripes -- vote for reasons other than pure economic self-interest. But even the economic reality of Kansas is distorted. For example, an earlier reviewer from IL implies Kansas is poor, but Illinois had a 6.4 percent unemployment rate in May; Kansas' was 4.7, almost a point lower than the national rate. Median household income in Kansas is at the national average (2001-2002), while the cost of living is moderate-to-low, depending on exact location, and it costs less to send your kids to college in Kansas than in all but four states -- and they are more likely to graduate than the national average. Only 9 states have a smaller percentage of households living in poverty. We have our problems, but how is that not a pretty good outcome for Kansas -- and particularly the working class that Frank addresses?
Same with this book. He seems more upset that his fellow Kansasians (?)march to a different drummer, or are more patriotic and actually believe in a God and attend worship services. He completely ignores the fact Kansas has some well respected universities and that the standard of living and quality of life is far superior to the élitist areas he prefers.
I am a proud Californian whose family has been here since the 1860's so I am not reading What's the Matter with Kansas as a disgruntled Kansasian but as someone who has traveled the United States enough and love the mid west and its values which are a lot like here in the Mother Lode of California where American flags fly from home porches, where prayer before meals is a habit, and where proud to be an American comes easily off ones tongue. And he admits in interviews that "Kansas" is a metaphor for the U.S.A. He has noted that today Kansas is the sort of place where the angry, suspicious world view typified by Fox News or the books of Ann Coulter is a common part of everyday life. Seems he is mad that what he sells isn't being bought.
He also seems bent out of shape that the folks of Kansas (and in my opinion anyone who isn't of his ilk) don't consider FDR a God, and perhaps value eating dinner together, marriages that last, hot dogs, baseball and Moms apple pie.Read more ›

From the Manufacturer
What is an unlocked phone?
An unlocked phone is a device that is not bound to any carrier or plan. It allows you to choose your phone first and your carrier second. Upon selecting a plan, simply insert the carrier's SIM card into the phone and you're ready to go. If you decide you want to change carriers down the road or want to take an international trip, it's as simple as replacing your existing SIM card with a new SIM and activating your new plan.
What are the benefits of an unlocked phone?
Freedom: Choose the carrier with the best service or price. If you find a better deal later, you have the ability to change to a different carrier.
Travel: Take your phone internationally and use the carrier of your choice. It's as easy as inserting an active SIM card.
Selection: Choose the phone with the features you want, whether or not your carrier sells it, and get more service options without a contract.
How do I set up my unlocked phone?
The first thing you'll need is a SIM card for your desired carrier. When activated, the SIM card will let your phone connect to your carrier's network. If you decide to upgrade to a newer unlocked phone in the future, you can easily remove the SIM card from your old phone and put it in your new phone—just make sure you get the right size of SIM card (nano, micro, or standard) for your phone. If you want to use your phone while traveling internationally, you can easily buy a SIM card for a carrier that operates where you're traveling. As long as it's activated, you can just swap SIM cards when you arrive at your destination.

Size: In short, it is NOT too big to put up to your face or to keep on your belt 100% of the time or to use one handed. It really does feel like a phone and not a phablet. Compared to my old Thunderbolt, the DNA is thinner, about the same width and about 1/2 inch longer. It weighs exactly the same as my Thunderbolt after you remove the battery and back cover.
Appearance: It is a very nice looking phone. No one who has held it has thought it was too big or too heavy or cheap or boring or whatever. It feels good in your hand.
Speed: There is remarkably little hesitation in responding to my requests. Apps downloaded and installed much faster than my HTC Thunderbolt. Emails with graphics load astonishingly fast. Four core is the way to go. I quickly get frustrated with the speed of my old phone now. The phone is not any slower, my expectations are now that much higher.
Phone quality: It has the best speaker and microphone for making phone calls of any phone I have owned yet. Better than using my $100 bluetooth headset (which was not true of my previous phone)
MHL: They do not mention MHL and I suspect part of the reason is that they use the old MHL 1.0 not the newer MHL 2.0, and as a result, a 1080 screen has issues.
Also, since it is the 5pin not 11pin configuration that Samsung is now using, you cannot use MHL and OTG at the same time.
This MHL adaptor works: ...Read more ›
The camera on this device is fantastic--if you're used to the HTC One X you'll know a lot of the features, but coming from the Rezound it's a massive improvement. It's still 8MP, but HTC's new sensors are amazing. The low-light photos are a huge improvement over my Rezound, and the S3 as well. You can take snapshots midway through recording video, and the continuous shooting mode works exceptionally well, offering a "best shot" option to automatically delete all the other pictures in the series if you only like one of them. The panorama feature works exceptionally well, and I wowed an iPhone carrying friend with its ease and quality.
Simply put, the DROID DNA's display is absolutely stunning. At five inches, 1080p and 440 pixels per inch, you'll be hard pressed to find anything that even begins to come close to this. Watching videos or looking at photos on your favorite photography site/app is an absolute treat.
The Auto Brightness setting works absolutely flawlessly, adjusting to the level of ambient lighting before the display is even turned on. This is a stark contrast from my Galaxy S3, which is often too dim, and frequently changes it's brightness long after I've turned the screen on and began using the device.
The device feels exceptional. The material covering the back is slightly grippy, which adds a feeling of security when you hold the device in your hand. The Galaxy S3's smooth finish is almost too slippery, and makes the device feel delicate and prone to dropping, though I am quite a fan of its curved shape. There isn't a creak or groan to be found anywhere around the device, which is something I've become accustomed to with HTC devices in general.Read more ›
Here are some things I was looking for when shopping for a new phone:
1. It needed to be FUTURE PROOF! I can not stress this enough. Meaning, most people are stuck with their new phones for two years. This means that it is imperative to get the best technology so that in two years, your phone is still churning and keeping up with the best. The Droid DNA has set the benchmark with this. It is the first phone to produce true 1080p screen quality. For those of you that are considering the iPhone 5 because of its "Retina Display", it only churns out about 720p (a little less, in fact). "Retina" is just a made up tech-term by apple (one of the things that is starting to turn me off about apple, but we'll get to more of that later). This is a big deal for me because I take a lot of photos and videos with my phone. It is nice to be able to look at my photos with this gorgeous display. It blows all competition out of the water in this respect. I won't bore you with more technical specs, because you can easily look those up on the internet. I have the DNA and my brother has the iPhone 5, side-by-side, the DNA's screen is a sight to behold. Also, this is by far the fastest phone on the market. Download speeds are incredible and it wont slow you down for a minute.
2. It needed to look good. Yes, this matters. Nowadays, people look at each others phones and pass prejudgements based on their phone.Read more ›

Alabama EMA: Timing, forecast, preparation helped as winter storm strikes again
Published: Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 10:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, February 13, 2014 at 10:54 a.m.
BIRMINGHAM (AP) — The head of the Alabama Emergency Management Agency says timing, better forecasting and preparation helped the state avoid a repeat of the problems that occurred during a winter storm two weeks ago.
Photo Galleries
Agency Director Art Faulkner tells The Associated Press that many difficulties were avoided because the worst of the frozen precipitation fell late Wednesday and early Thursday instead of during the middle of the day.
Faulkner also says the weather cooperated with the forecast this time. That's different from late January, when the Birmingham area received far more snow than anticipated and thousands of people were stranded in schools, cars and workplaces.
Faulkner says the advance warning helped both individuals and government agencies get ready for the latest winter storm to hit the state.

Aspartame does not break down into formaldehyde; this is an urban myth that has been debunked on several sites, including Snopes.com
Just a little comment about diet drinks/yogurt sweetened with aspartame. Heating it could cause its break down into formaldehyde. Do not use it in baking! But I think diet 7up is safe, but just don't use Sprite =) Haven't tried the recipe yet, but looks very easy!!
I made this with Oregon strawberries & raspberries (both red and golden), an angel food cake mix, and a generic 0-calorie lemon-lime soda. It turned out so good. It's reminiscent of dumplings...and so easy to make.
I used blueberries and peaches and this is so good! I can't believe it could taste so much like the original version with all that butter!
So good and so easy. I didn't have 7Up so I used diet cranberry Sprite. I also added fresh cherries to the fruit. I can see many variations for this great recipe.
Very easy and Very Yummy will make again! I used Strawberries and blueberries!
I made this recipe for PAC and I'm SO glad I did. This was VERY good! I decided to use strawberries and blackberries (I don't care that much for raspberries and the blueberries were too expensive). The cake was wonderful. I've already had 2 servings. I put a dollop of fat-free whipped topping on it when I served it. Mmmmm. Thanks for sharing such a good recipe.
Delicious! Will be making this again,however,next time I will need to cook it a bit longer.
This is an awesome treat!! It's great warmed up with a little ice cream.

Family Friendly Austin
Looking for family friendly neighborhoods in Austin. My wife and two small kids will be relocating to Austin. Our current neighborhood is filled with kids playing in the street and neighbors interacting with each other. We know and hang-out with a lot of our neighbors. We want a neighborhood / community like that in Austin. I know a lot of master planned communities bill themselves as family friendly but a lot of them always seem like ghost towns. Where are the true active / friendly communities in Austin?

Back off Mrs. Kravitz
I recently moved into a 4 unit apartment building. Across the hall lives a single older woman who is proving to be quite the busy body. The girl downstairs from her and she are friends. The young woman that lives down stairs works for some sort of cash advance operation and when my Daughter got a ride home from a co-worker tonight, this neighbor of mine saw and recognized the driver as someone who borrowed from the cash advance agency, but never paid back, and verbally accosted her in the driveway of the apt. building. It was 8:30 at night and she was wearing a nightgown. I found this very unprofessional, and honestly irritating. What I want to know is how can I handle this without it becoming a building war. I've only lived here a month, but her bulldog approach was very insulting to my guest and very inappropriate. The situation could get sticky since the neighbors are pals. Ugh...what to do!

Advice on noisy neighbors. My family just moved. Our immediate neighbors are elderly and hard of hearing, and so the TV volume is quite blaring in the evening, grating for us, but hard on our 2 year old. They seem like nice people though cant understand why our 2 year old needs to go to bed at 8. Wondering the best approach to this? Buy them so wireless headsets? They might not like the gesture nor be able to adapt to the intrusion of this new device. On our end we have tried white noise, but the windows need to stay open with the heat.

Please no Aspas..He's totally out of form and should be bring only as substitute not starter..i'd take this chance to gine Alberto the place in Attacking midfielder position..

Predicted Liverpool Starting XI To Face Southampton
Liverpool welcome Southampton to Anfield on Saturday afternoon looking to extend their lead at the top of the Premier League table.
The Reds moved one point clear of second placed Arsenal with a 2-2 draw against Swansea on Monday night to maintain the only unbeaten record in the division.
Brendan Rodgers lost influential attacker Philippe Coutinho that night with a shoulder injury that's likely to keep him out for up to six weeks so Iago Aspas could come in to the team this weekend, although Raheem Sterling is another option for the Northern Irishman.
Daniel Agger is a major doubt after missing the Swans clash so Mamadou Sakho could continue his partnership with Martin Skrtel at the back. There has been talk that Kolo Toure could replace Andre Wisdom at right back but it remains to be seen whether Rodgers will go with this option or stick with the same back-four that played last week.
Victor Moses will keep his place after scoring on his debut on Monday. Here is our predicted team:
What do you think? What team would you pick?

The current refugee crisis is the greatest humanitarian challenge to have faced the European Union since its foundation. Although the outcome of the referendum on 23 June 2016 was that the UK should leave the EU, the UK remains a full member of the EU, with all the responsibilities that entails, until the final withdrawal agreement is ratified. It is vital, both on moral grounds and in order to help maintain good relations with the other 27 Member States, that the UK Government should participate fully in EU action to resolve this humanitarian crisis.
Addis Ababa July 18/2016 The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) and Armauer Hansen Research Institute (AHRI) have signed a 129 million Birr grant agreement that would help the latter carry out better research activities in the health sector.

Stockholm, Sweden | AFP | Tuesday 6/21/2016 - 17:30 GMT
Sweden toughened its rules for new asylum seekers on Tuesday as well as for refugees wanting to join their families in the country, after receiving 160,000 asylum claims last year.
The Swedish parliament voted 240 to 45 for the bill that will suspend for three years the granting of temporary residence permits to asylum seekers as well as limiting the number of refugees who will be permitted to join family members already settled in the country.
(Stockholm, June 20, 2016) – The Swedish Parliament is expected to approve a restrictive new asylum bill on June 21, 2016, that could harm the well-being of migrant children in need of protection and undermine their opportunity to effectively integrate into Swedish society, Human Rights Watch said today. The bill, which will apply to all children and adults who applied for asylum after November 24, 2015, will temporarily roll back some rights currently available under Swedish asylum law.
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has received an additional 30 million Swedish krona (approximately USD 3.6 M) from the Government of Sweden to support the agency's work in Myanmar in the areas of democratic governance, local development and environmental sustainability. This follows an initial contribution of 30 M Swedish krona received in 2014.
UNDP Country Director, Toily Kurbanov said that he was encouraged by the support provided by the Government of Sweden.

Strategic Assessment
The global terrorist threat continued to evolve rapidly in 2015, becoming increasingly decentralized and diffuse. Terrorist groups continued to exploit an absence of credible and effective state institutions, where avenues for free and peaceful expression of opinion were blocked, justice systems lacked credibility, and where security force abuses and government corruption went unchecked.

Accor Deploys HotelInvest's Strategy with Purchase of 97 Hotels
Tuesday May 27th, 2014 - 10:01AM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
PARIS—Accor's HotelInvest business has agreed to purchase two real-estate portfolios representing 86 and 11 hotels respectively for roughly €900 million (or $1.2 billion).
"These transactions send a strong signal of our capability to rapidly implement the strategy of restructuring the HotelInvest portfolio," stated Sébastien Bazin, chairman and CEO of Accor. "They are fully aligned with our selective asset acquisition criteria: hotels located in key European cities and delivering excellent operating performance in our most profitable market segments".
The first portfolio, representing 86 hotels and 11,286 rooms across Germany (67 hotels) and the Netherlands (19 hotels), has been operated by Accor since 2007 under variable-rent leases and the following brands: ibis (29 hotels), ibis budget (31 hotels), Mercure (17 hotels) and Novotel (9 hotels). The total consideration for this acquisition is €722 million. The sellers are two funds, Moor Park Fund I and II, advised by Moor Park Capital Partners, a pan-European real estate private equity investment advisory business.
Accor has also entered into exclusive negotiations with Axa Real Estate for a second portfolio representing 11 hotels and 1,592 rooms in Switzerland. This portfolio has been operated by Accor since 2008 under variable-rent leases and the following brands: ibis (5 hotels), ibis budget (2 hotels), Novotel (3 hotels) and MGallery (1 hotel).
Both acquisitions will be accretive to Accor's EBIT in 2014. Based on pro forma 2013 figures, the relative contribution of owned hotels to HotelInvest's net operating income will increase by around 14 points to 68%, according to the company.
Completion of the acquisitions is subject to the usual conditions for this type of transaction, as well as to regulatory approval.

Well, it's halfway through 2016, and not much has changed since the beginning of the year. Despite the terrorism acts in Orlando, FL and Turkey, and the Brexit referendum, little has happened to affect the travel industry. Overall, things might have slowed a bit, but a majority of the fundamentals are holding steady, including occupancy, ADR and RevPAR. I've been asked why this cycle has lasted longer than those preceding it. As far as I am concerned, it's due to a single phrase: Never Again.

Hi Pete,
Hi Martha,
You can't address your issues by using inferior products, which is what you've been doing, and expect positive results.
Both mattresses you mentioned contain memory foam, which is the worse upholstery material ever invented.
And, your air mattress provides poor support, relying on displacement.
We do carry a mattress that provides contouring support, much like your Simmons.
However, this mattress is upholstered with all natural Talalay latex, and contains zero memory foam.
It's made by a Canadian company, called "Natura". From their Greenspring line, it would be the "Ultra Plush" model.
The contouring support, combined with the soft latex, will relieve your pressure points and relax your muscles, which in turn will give you the depth of sleep you're looking for.
Here is a link to that mattress.
Ensure better health and well being with the Liberty Ultra Plush Mattress…(aka Laurel). You'll delight in the comfort of natural wool, latex and plant-based foam ...

|Regent of Russia
18 December 1718

(aged 27)
|Alexander Nevsky Monastery
|Duke Anthony Ulrich of Brunswick

|Ivan VI of Russia

Anna Leopoldovna (Russian: А́нна Леопо́льдовна; 18 December 1718 – 19 March 1746), born as Elisabeth Katharina Christine von Mecklenburg-Schwerin and also known as Anna Carlovna[1] (А́нна Ка́рловна), was regent of Russia for a few months in 1740 and 1741 during the minority of her infant son Emperor Ivan VI.
Elisabeth Katharina Christine was the daughter of Catherine, the sister of the Russian empress Anna, and of Karl Leopold, the duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin.[2] Catherine separated from Elisabeth's father and the two escaped to Russia in 1722. Catherine was considered for the imperial throne in 1730 but her sister Anna was chosen instead. In 1733, Elisabeth converted to the Russian Orthodox Church and given the name Anna Leopoldovna, which made her acceptable as an heir to the throne. In 1739, she married Anthony Ulrich (1714–1776), son of Ferdinand Albert, Duke of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel.[2] He had lived in Russia since 1733 so that she could get to know him.
On 5 October 1740, the empress Anna adopted their newborn son Ivan and proclaimed him heir to the Russian throne.[1] On 28 October, just a few weeks after this proclamation, the empress died, leaving directions regarding the succession and appointing her favourite Ernest Biron, Duke of Courland, as regent.[1]
Biron, however, had made himself an object of detestation to the Russian people.[1] After Biron threatened to exile Anna and her spouse to Germany, she had little difficulty working with Munich to overthrow him.[1] The coup succeeded and she assumed the regency on 8 November, taking the title of Grand Duchess. She knew little of the character of the people with whom she had to deal, knew even less of the conventions and politics of Russian government, and speedily quarrelled with her principal supporters.[1]
According to the Dictionary of Russian History,[clarification needed] she ordered an investigation of the garment industry when new uniforms received by the military were found to be of inferior quality. When the investigation revealed inhuman conditions she issued decrees mandating a minimum wage and maximum working hours in that industry as well as the establishment of medical facilities at every garment factory.
She also presided over a brilliant victory by Russian forces at the Battle of Villmanstrand in Finland after Sweden had declared war against her Government. She had an influential favourite, Julia von Mengden.
In December of 1741, Elizabeth, the daughter of Peter the Great, excited the guards to revolt, having already become a favorite of theirs.[clarification needed][1] The coup overcame the insignificant opposition and was supported by the ambassadors of France and Sweden, owing to the pro-British and pro-Austrian policies of Anna's government.
The victorious regime first imprisoned the family in the fortress of Dünamünde near Riga and then exiled them to Kholmogory on the Northern Dvina river. Anna eventually died on 18 March 1746 during childbirth.[2] Her son Ivan VI was murdered in Shlisselburg on 16 July 1764, while her husband Anthony Ulrich died in Kholmogory on 19 March 1776. Her remaining four children (Ekaterina, Elizaveta, Peter and Alexei[3]) were released from prison into the custody of their aunt, the Danish queen dowager Juliana Maria of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, on 30 June 1780 and settled in Jutland, where they lived in comfort under house arrest in Horsens for the rest of their lives under the guardianship of Juliana and at the expense of Catherine the Great: having lived as prisoners, they were not used to social life, and kept a small "court" of 40/50 people, all Danish except for the priest.[4]
Anna Leopoldovna had the following children:
- Ivan VI (1740–1764) (reigning Emperor 1740-1741)
- Catherine Antonovna of Brunswick (1741–1807) (released to house arrest in Horsens in Denmark in 1780)
- Elizabeth Antonovna of Brunswick (1743–1782) (released to house arrest in Horsens in Denmark in 1780)
- Peter Antonovich of Brunswick (1745–1798) (released to house arrest in Horsens in Denmark in 1780)
- Alexei Antonovich of Brunswick (1746–1787) (released to house arrest in Horsens in Denmark in 1780)

The Last and Funniest Running Race of the Year in Madrid.3 13 Share Tweet
I'm not what you'll call a sporty lady, so I asked two top cheerleaders to came with me to the race to cheer on the runners while I did some photos.
Here's a nice way to get ready for the New Year's Eve festivities. How about a 10Km running race on December 31st through the streets of the Spanish capital, Madrid: San Silvestre Vallecana Running Race
Here's my mother and my aunt ready for the race:
We saw a few boring runners:
But when I say it is a funny race, I mean it! Look at these runners, they are the spirit of the race:
We saw superheroes:
And other amazing creatures running and running and running….
So, now you know a great way to spend New Year's Eve. You can run 10k. in one hour, like my brother did (I gave him a special medal made by me :D):
Or have fun encouraging the runners:

How I Got Around Time Warner Cable's Modem Rental Fee
I am not a big fan of getting charged for something that I don't think is justified. One case in point is the modem rental fee that Time Warner Cable charges its customers. I have only been a TWC internet customer since I cut my cable. About a year ago, Time Warner Cable (TWC) decided it wanted to charge it customers $3.95 a month to rent their cable modem. Most people that use have internet service probably "rent" these cable modems from their providers. I had been a TWC customer for near 8 years and never once paid this fee or at least they didn't break it out on the line items.
I was upset when I learned that I needed to pay a nearly $4 monthly charge to rent a modem that was technically not up to par with the internet speeds I was receiving. They wanted me to pay to rent an old and used modem from them. I wasn't happy, so I called them up. After speaking kindly to someone about the issue, I was able to get my monthly bill reduced by $3.95 to offset the cost.
Well, Not Anymore!
At the end of July, I received a little postcard from my favorite, cash hungry, internet provider. TWC sent a little inconspicuous card that said they would be upping the fee to $5.99 a month. Really TWC! Now you want me to pay more for an outdated modem? That is a ridiculous request……
I called them up and talked with another person there. It appears that I wasn't going to get out of this one. I either needed to pony up the extra cash or buy my own modem. Hmm…..I am technical enough to handle my own modem, so why not look into it?
Find the Right Modem
If you want to buy your own modem in order to not pay Time Warner Cable's ridiculous rental fee, then you have some choices. TWC put together a nice little page of the tested and approved modems that you can use. You need to purchase one of these modems in order for your service to work. You should pick a modem based on your current speeds that you are paying for. I went with a DOCSIS 3.0 modem because it is well worth the money.
Sticking It to the Man
I jumped on Amazon to find which cable modem that is approved by Time Warner had the best reviews. After some searches, I found that i wanted to get the Motorola SB6141. I would highly recommend this modem for you setup. It was easy to purchase (Amazon Prime, baby!) and super easy to setup. I was able to get the SB6141 for less than $90 and I think it will be well worth it.
If you don't purchase your own modem, here it the breakdown of your costs.
The current price on Amazon is $86.99 with free shipping. If you live in a state where Amazon charges sales tax, then you have to add that. One year of the TWC rental fee would be $71.88. In order to break even on the cost of the modem, you would need to keep it for about 1 year and 3 months. That cable modem should last longer than that.
If you are tired of paying extra fees for old technology, then take matters into your own hands. Remember that you do have to return the rented modem back to Time Warner, but that is a small price to pay. I am happy that I don't have to pay the extra rental fee and I will gladly recommend it to anyone else. Don't let TWC tell you that you will have issues because 99.99% of the time, it would be their service issue, not the modems.
It's time to tell Time Warner "No" to their extra fees!

We've got our own modem as well. It's lasted us over 5 years now and was definitely worth the cost. With stuff like that, it's always worth at least looking into the possibility of getting it yourself for less. You have to assume they're trying to make a nice profit off it.
Ugh rented modems are the worst! I bought my own as well and avoided the rental fee from the get-go.
I just bought a cable modem so I can switch from DSL to cable. Comcast charges $7!
I did buy a used one off Amazon (after checking for compatability from Comcast's website) and it only cost be $35. That's a ROI breakeven of only 5 months!
Of course, the money I'm saving from switching from CenturyLink DSL, who refuses to offer a new promotional price, to Comcast Xfinity at a promotional price, I'm actually paying for the modem in only a month and a half!
I'm convinced that all internet providers suck. Modem renting fees are stupid anyway.. They will come up with anything to make more money!
I think I need to look into this, because I think this fee is such a waste.
I have Optimum Cable internet (subsidiary of Cablevision) and they are one of the last companies yet to charge for cable modem rental. I'm just awaiting for that to happen so I hope like TWC, they can recommend some options to buy.
Well done! We had Cox Cable for 7 years and always had our own purchased modem. We recently changed to Verizon (earning $1000) http://igotouttadebt.com/2013/02/03extra-money-cable . However, Verizon requires you to have their own modem. No way around it. I'm sure that when our 2 year contract expires, and their promotional rate expires, we'll shop around and see what Cox can offer. You can bet, we'll look at getting our own modem.
Good for you Grayson! Feels great to take control of a situation like you have. I recently bought off Craigslist for $60 a digital cable box, which our provider rents for $3.95 per month. The only question is will enough time pass before I ditch cable totally to have made the purchase worthwhile! But I figure I can re-sell the cable box, so it's all good.
Grayson, Definitely it is good way to save money by having your own modem instead of paying the rental fees, which are high for some providers. We did the same last year. well done !
I'm going to look into this. I assume I'm paying a rental fee and I never though much about it. But you're right, you have the initial upfront cost but over time, you end up saving money (potentially even a lot!) buying your own modem. Convenience is nice but it can't be that hard to set-up your own modem. Have a great weekend, Grayson!
One thing I would suggest before buying a modem to replace your rented one, call the cable company and ask someone in a higher level support position if they have a recommendation. Generally they will tell you if certain modems work better than others. I realize it shouldn't matter, and with larger companies like TWC, it may not. However, with smaller providers it may. I had an experience like this a few years ago, where my Motorola Surboard would have intermittent connectivity issues. After weeks of talking to customer support, I finally got an upper level tech to tell me that they had their signal provisioned a certain way, and my modem was basically non compliant. I then used their provided modem without a problem until they were bought out by another company. Once the new company started to charge me, I called up, and got a tier 2 tech. He told me point blank what he would buy instead of paying the rental fee.
Modem fees are silly that's like buying the car and you don't get the keys to start it. I've never paid and if I did I managed to get a reduction like you did. These companies will soak us dry any chance they get as if their internet fees aren't already high enough. If I had to I'd look into buying though.
Good for you, Grayson. $5.99 (and even $3.95) a month is ridiculous! Seems to me I'm going to have to scrutinize my phone/internet bill more seriously from now on.
I loathe Time Warner Cable. We have horrible cable service and every time I call in they want to blame it on my router because it isn't their equipment. We're ditching cable and phone with them in the next couple of weeks. Just bought an HD antenna. We will save about $165 each month. That's serious money!
Those cable companies will try to stick it to you any way possible. I have had my own modem for years. Funny thing is when I moved the cable guy was like something is wrong with you modem. Long story short he was trying to get me to upgrade to a newer more expensive one. Not happening. Come to find out it wasn't working because "somehow" it was reset. Not going to point fingers but I didnt reset it. I am seriously looking at ditching a lot of the crap I have.
Great story on finding the cheapest long term solution!
If you've been a customer that long, I'm sure you'd be able to negotiate a cheaper rate overall – especially if there is competition in your area.
can i connect any wifi router (ex linksys ) to sb6141

Editorial ignored danger of corruption
Published: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 8:59 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 at 8:59 a.m.
I appreciate your publication opening the dialogue on bills filed by Sen. Conrad Appel and myself providing for the forfeiture of the publicly funded portion of pension benefits payable to public officials upon conviction of specified crimes related to and committed while holding office. I would urge all to read the bills (HB 69 and HB 73), which can be accessed at www.legis.state.la.us.
Although your editorial recognizes that breaches of public trust perpetuate the public's mistrust of government, you do not elaborate on the serious consequences that such mistrust or perception of corruption in government have. At a time when economic development issues dominate, I cannot help but think that states exhibiting that they are serious about preventing crime by public officials, such as extortion and bribery to name a few, will have an advantage in keeping and attracting businesses. Crimes perpetuated by public officials, particularly premeditated crimes of greed, create an odor of corruption and serve as an impediment to business development thus hurting our entire state. Loss of jobs and resultant negative effects on our economy cannot be overstated. The effects of such acts permeate well beyond the crime itself.
For example, think about the business owner who has put in a bid for a public contract but does not get the contract simply because a public official accepted a bribe from another bidder on the project. In a worst-case scenario, the loss of the contract could result in that innocent business owner being unable to sustain his or her business and having to close down with employees loosing their jobs in these tough economic times.
Sen. Appel and I crafted the bills in a way that does not penalize innocent surviving spouses, minor children and physically or mentally disabled children by allowing survivor benefits to be paid upon the death of the employee. Full consideration has been given to property-rights issues as well.
Many states have adopted pension-forfeiture provisions as has the U.S. Congress. I believe it is time that we follow suit.
It would be my hope that such a law would act as a deterrent to premeditated crimes of greed and that no one would ever be faced with the consequences of it.
However if the public trust is breached and the official faces such consequences, it was the official's decision to so act.
We must prioritize the interest of our taxpayers, many of whom may not have the benefit of a pension, and our many hardworking and honest public officials who are tainted by the acts of a few.
I will certainly look forward to discussing these issues during public debate as these bills go through the process.
Tony Ligi
State Rep. District 79

Much like Steve Jobs, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz is a masterful manipulator of the media, carefully polishing his public image and seeking to put a positive spin on his company's actions. That's fine as long as Starbucks keeps growing, writes Paul Pendergrass, but if the coffee giant stumbles, then Schultz's patter might come in for closer scrutiny. "Schultz is a true business visionary. ... It would be a shame if he ends up being remembered more for empty words than his real and substantial accomplishments," Pendergrass writes.
