General Weather Chat / Major East Coast Storm?
« on: February 28, 2009, 11:29:41 PM »
Sooo...as alot of us probably know, it looks like a major winter storm could be shaping up for tomorrow and Monday. Currently it looks as though some areas could see as much as a foot or more of snow, including some of the major cities. At this point the further east you go, the more snow is expected, with the most expected generally east of the I-95 corridor. But the path of the storm is still uncertain, and if it tracks closer to the shore those heavier amounts will shift further west, resulting in as much as a foot+ of snow across a good chunk of the eastern seaboard.
This could definitely be the biggest storm many of us have seen this winter. It looks like winter is going to try and go out with a bang.

Got a weather question? Ask our very own meteorologist, Patrick! He is our newest member, he has a Master's degree, and has graciously allowed us to start this thread. So if you've got a question, he's got an answer!
Also, I know that Kyle (wxmancanada) and Chuck also have degrees and expertise in weather, so if either of you would like to interject your knowledge, feel free!

General Discussion / Digital Transition
« on: February 17, 2009, 01:02:13 PM »
As we all know, today was the originally scheduled day for the digital transition. Even though it no longer is, some stations are still going to cut the analog signal anyway. Which stations in your market are still going ahead with the transition?
In mine, WBFF (Fox 45), WNUV (CW Baltimore, WBFF's sister), and WBOC (CBS, Salisbury)all will be switching tonight. All other stations have adopted the June 12 switchover date.

TWC Today News / Topic Title Issue
« on: February 13, 2009, 08:41:41 PM »
I've noticed an issue, and its really starting to annoy me. When you post a reply in a thread, please DO NOT change the topic title. This is not only annoying, but utterly confusing as well. aside from that, there's just no need to do it.
Thanks for your cooperation!

General Discussion / iPod help needed....
« on: February 09, 2009, 07:52:19 AM »
Alright, I need some help from the iPod experts amongst us. I got an iPod Nano (2nd Gen) for free a couple of days ago, and I'm having a little trouble with it. I've installed iTunes on my laptop, and yesterday I purchased a USB charging/transfer cable at Wal-Mart. However, when I plug the iPod into my laptop, nothing happens. I thought maybe the USB ports on the laptop weren't powerful enough, so I also tried everything on the desktop, with the same result. The iPod shows that it's charging, so the cable evidently isn't the problem. Is there something else I have to do to get the computer and/or iTunes to recognize the Nano?

Local Forecast / Looking for classic music?
« on: January 25, 2009, 06:35:18 PM »
If your looking for music from TWC's past, I've found many sites that have many of the CD's available for FREE. This is legal, as many of the CD's are so old as to be no longer copyrighted. Others are out of print and cannot be found through any other method. Below are what I have come across:
Devo-http://alltribes.blogspot.com/search/label/DEVO-Contains the ENTIRE Devo discography, including CD's with TWC songs. VERY RARE.
Incognito-http://alltribes.blogspot.com/search/label/INCOGNITO-The entire Incognito discorgraphy.
Spyro Gyra-http://alltribes.blogspot.com/search/label/SPYRO%20GYRA-Many, but not all, of Spyro Gyra's CD's.
Stanley Jordan-http://alltribes.blogspot.com/search/label/STANLEY%20JORDAN-All of Stanley Jordan's CDs.
http://backandon.wordpress.com/page/4/-Contains a few different TWC artists, including Los Lobos.
http://beemp3.blogspot.com/-Includes Tom Grant, Dan Siegel, 3rd Force, Alfonzo Blackwell, Billy Cobham, Bobby Lyle, Bona Fide, Boney James, Chuck Mangione, Craig Chaquico, Dave Grusin, Dave Koz, David Benoit, David Sanborn, Earl Klugh, Earnest Ranglin, Fattburger, Four80East, Gato Barbieri, and much much more.
http://www.jazzmanbrasil.com/-Another site with TONS of stuff.
http://jollyjoke.blogspot.com/-Yet another site with bunches of stuff.
That's all for the moment. Again, I must stress that anything posted here is LEGAL and LEGITIMATE. In addition to the factors I talked about to open this post, many of these sites have actual permission from the artists themselves.
Carlos, I know you are working these sites too. If you have any to add, feel free. Same goes for anyone else who has any to add. I'll add more throughout the evening.

TWC Today News / Need Your Help
« on: January 14, 2009, 12:21:37 AM »
It was brought to my attention tonight that one of our most recent new members is a 7 year old girl (yes, you read that right). Therefore, I need you all to help me out. See, ordinarily having such a young child here is something I'd be very uncomfortable with, perhaps to the point of not allowing it. But AFAIK this forum has no feature like IPB's were you can make registrants confirm their age, so my hands are kinda tied. So, from here on out I need everyone to refrain from using vulgarity of any sort. Since I can't very well l turn her away now, I have to do the next best thing which is to protect her from things she shouldn't see. I hope you guys understand this. This has always been a family oriented forum, so I suspect that this won't be too much to ask.
That said, the member I'm speaking of is sunlightreport. Many of us have dealt with her, and were frustrated by some of her posts. So now that we know the why behind her posts, please do me a favor and be patient. Remember, this is a child. Don't get mean with her, and don't be nasty. If you don't have the patience, then please don't say anything at all.
I appreciate everyone's cooperation.
