Good Morning.

Mornin' all..

Huzzah it's all-day sales meeting time.

Morning, comrades!

It's my birthday, and I'm not wearing any pants.

Happy Birthday Tri!!!

Must be catching. My brain is almost totally unresponsive this morning. Even after multiple infusions of caffeine.

Oh....Happy Birthday Tri!!!



But at least the power is on.....cowers in fear as I just get a display driver error

*grunt*

Of course, the drawback in being the house chef is that I have to cook my own birthday dinner. (but we're going out Sunday.)

So we have Supremes de Volaille a Brun, a garden-fresh Ratatouille and buttered noodles....

And of course an award-winning California Riesling cooling its heels in the fridge already.

So posing an idea for next year - Any one ever heard of GISHWHES?

Registration is closed for this year but it might be fun to put together a team for next year.

Good morning, folks. Up a little early because I have to be in at 1 PM to work the Mets game in SNY today.

And of course, Happy Birthday to TriSec.

Nah that's just because its a transient area. Fans like the players they hate the owner, they used to love the owner when it was the very colorful and not very appropiate Jack Kent Cook.

At least I know once Momma goes off Current TV just before it becomes Al-Jazeera America, I can still listen to the show on XM which went back to carrying the whole show live on satellite radio. Now, I just hope I get the channel that will pick up her show after.

Interesting although at 8 AM, Free Speech TV airs Democracy Now! Live. Adding Momma to the lineup would move it to a delayed telecast at Noon. Free Speech TV already airs Thom Hartmann so it might make sense for it to pickup the other progressive talk simulcasts.

Since I've lost my taste for Krispy Kremes I don't know what we would debate Tim Horton's vs Dunkies vs local bakeries?

Comment by TriSec on 08/08/2013 15:42:06
Ah, if there was a Tim Horton's in closer proximity, I would go there.

I've found one in South Portland (ME), and a handful on the South Shore probably a good 30 miles from here.

It's easier to go home to Kane's.

They have Tim Horton's in Penn Station and I think there's one near the Nassau Coliseum here in the Metro area.

Comment by livingonli on 08/08/2013 15:47:54
I do know that we do run a lot of Tim Horton's ads on our Buffalo Sabres telecasts because there are I guess plenty of them in the Buffalo area and not just because it's a short hop to Canada.

Not many people do. Most of its distribution is through DirecTV and Dish Network. Outside of Burlington Telecom in Vermont, few if any cable providers carry it.

FSTV is a public interest channel so it has to be in the most basic packages on satellite. Only thing with DirecTV is it's on satellite with the HD channels, so it won't be received by those who haven't upgraded to HD (although most new subscribers are on HD).

Comment by Raine on 08/08/2013 16:09:48
So it's interesting as we are one of the few outlets that has been carrying Al Jazeera English. I can't see Comcast carrying that AND Al Jazeera America.

Maybe once Current becomes AJA they'll switch AJE to FSTV. A gal can hope, huh?

In the DC area, it comes from a WNVC sub-channel (here on FiOS, I get it through a WRNN sub-channel), so that's probably going to be a WNVC call since I have heard that Al-Jazeera English may be pulled from US distribution once Al-Jazeera America launches so WNVC would probably replace it with another international news service since they are the ones also providing DC homes with France 24, Euronews, and RT.

The Ken Cuccinelli for Governor staff pushed Marston to choose between us and them since they thought that it could become another example of Cuccinelli’s backward view of a woman’s role in society.

This looks to be interesting.


A draft Defense Department memo obtained Wednesday by The Associated Press says the department instead may provide up to 10 days of leave to military personnel in same-sex relationships so they can travel to states where they can marry legally.

The memo from Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel to top defense leaders, if implemented, would reverse an earlier plan that would have allowed the same-sex partners of military members to sign a declaration form in order to receive limited benefits, such as access to military stores and some health and welfare programs.

The recent Supreme Court decision extending federal benefits to legally married same-sex couples eliminates the need for such a plan, Hagel said in the draft.
