Jessica, I gotta agree, they need to advertise, because I only found this all out by accident. Unemployment and boredom leads to clicking on just about everything just to kill more time. And I've been unemployed 5 months, now. It took me 5 months to find this!
It's my estimation that... every man ever got a statue made of him, was one kind of sumbitch or another.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

sj, I did some more poking around. If you want just one photo album to have restricted access, you can go to "edit info" in that album and you can adjust the privacy settings for just that album. Then you select "customize" and "some friends." You can either type in individual names of who can see the album, or if you've created a group, which group/s have access.

House defeats bill to delay digital TV transition
I'm sick of the ads! I've had my converter for a year! Just do it and let the clueless blink and chew their cud at a screen full of snow.
And yes, there are people who can't get the boxes, etc. etc., but really. It's been a year.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
The Most Ticketed Cars on the Road
ISO Quality Planning, a company specializing in helping insurance companies identify risk, has compiled a list of the most heavily ticketed vehicles on the road, and lead feet everywhere can check it out.
The group analyzed traffic data on 1.7 million drivers and established the probability of a driver of a given line of vehicles being ticketed. The Hummer and Scion tC dominated the list, receiving 463% and 460% over the average, respectively. On the opposite end of the spectrum, the Jaguar XJ sedan and the Chevrolet Suburban attracted a mere 11% and 16% of expected tickets. Given that both the Hummer and the Jaguar are high-cost vehicles, it flips the idea that a huge price tag automatically means more police attention.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
but really. It's been a year.
More like four years. I think you reach a point where the people who are waiting until the last couple of weeks are the same people who would wait until the last couple of weeks in June.

And then there are those like me who are dithering on replacing the tv or getting a box, oh and if you didn't have a coupon already, tough because they're out of money.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Most of the lobbying for and against the DTV delay have been wireless companies who bought the rights the 900Mhz spectrum, and their competitors who want to block them from getting the spectrum.
I don't think the actual TV companies care much at this point.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
More like four years.
This. Time to pull the plug!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think you reach a point where the people who are waiting until the last couple of weeks are the same people who would wait until the last couple of weeks in June.
And the people who don't get it won't benefit from extra time either.
I wish people would stop sending pictures of people in flip flops to barefoot.provocateuse.com. What part of barefoot gets confusing? And it's not like there's displayed precedent.
On TV shows (non-reality) do they often mike the actors with a mike pack? I swear I'm suddenly noticing bulky bundles on actors and I don't know why it's getting aired. Am I not supposed to care? Because I do care. Like in my definition of barefoot, I demand purity.
