Rogers and AMC



Apparantly, Rogers cable network is threatening to get rid of AMC. That would be incredibly stupid of them, as AMC features programs such as The Walking Dead, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Hell on Wheels among others. I don't know what the legal side of things are, but getting rid of a network featuring hit shows is just plain silly in a nutshell. If you subscribe to AMC and are with Rogers for your TV needs, call 855-KEEP-AMC (855-533-7262), contact Rogers, or go to their Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Rogers?fref=ts .

Hi, this is Mary with Rogers.

We have no intention of dropping AMC.

We're surprised and disappointed they would alarm our customers. We are in negotiations and expect a positive outcome.

Feel free to reach out to us on twitter at @RogersHelps or myself directly @RogersMary

Thanks for the clarification! I saw the news courtesy of "The Walking Dead" on facebook yesterday evening and 'countered' the news with this post, encouraging Rogers customers have an AMC subscription to inform Rogers that they would like to see the network kept.

Hi, this is Chris, and I'm a colleague of Mary's at Rogers.

We have excellent news! We've reached an agreement that ensures our customers can continue to enjoy all of the great programming in the AMC line-up. And they’ll be able to watch original AMC programs in HD format as early as end of March, as well as across multiple screens shortly after the TV debut - something we know our customers have been asking for.

We've shared more details on our Redboard blog here:

The Tolkien Signature Paperback Collection: Master Listing

Image
  Recently, HarperCollins has been re-issuing most of the Tolkien titles in a new paperback style. Since that a vast majority of these share ISBNs with other covers, eventually the older covers will be replaced with the new. I wanted to provide head's up for that. If ordered via Amazon UK, Blackwell's, or Waterstones, you'll very likely have the newer/Signature cover. If possible, it may be best to actually visit  the bookstore so you can see which one they actually have on their shelves.   This post is a Master Post, collecting ISBNs of the titles released in this style. I have made them into 'groups' or 'sets' for ease of reference, as well as possibly assist in purchasing them, if one were to get more than one book at once. Over the course of time, this post will get updated. Once a new title comes to this format, I'll do a separate blog post focusing on that title; and provide it's ISBN, cover art, and description. Enough of these have come out t...

An Update

So I bet you're wondering how The Saga of Kalvel is coming.  It's going well, but slow. I'm not putting into as much time writing the series as I'd like. It's still being thought of in my head, and I'm only able to get to it part time, but I'm still planning and writing at the same time. This weekend I'm hoping to binge through some.  I'm working on the third chapter for one character, and would like to start the first chapter for another character. I begun as early as Dec. 2011, and my deadline is August of 2016, but so far I have approx about 40 completed manuscript pages that I'm thinking of going back to until the first draft is completely done.  Now. That's manuscript pages.  If I were total everything I'd ever written about Kalvel, it would be closer to around 100 (give or takr about 15 either direction, some things are in various states.) I've said before and again that the most difficult vo...
