I apologize for intervening here, but anyone remember that crazy name to that Icelandic volcano? We were actually discussing it in Earth Science this morning. I thought I had an idea as to how to pronounce it, but I guess I was wrong :P
But anyhoodle (as a formal teacher from last year would say), here's a video that might help:
http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/pronounce-eyjafjallajokull-10392613&tab=9482931&section=1206828&playlist=&page=1


A local reporter here pronounced the name of the volcano verrrrrrry slowly. I should have gotten that on video.  :pinch: but it sounded like he got it right!

Anyone with an iPod having issues synching on the new iTunes? Ever since I updated iTunes before I left for my hometown, all of the sudden I am unable to sync my oldies music or my apps in my iPod. So far the Apple forums aren't really helping me, but I wont give up googling for an answer. :google2:

Have you tried clicking on My Device < Music ? Checkmark "Sync Music" and do the same for Applications. There should be a box next to it that should let you check mark it on Itunes 9.0

Try it again, I edited a revised attachment because I noticed some goof ups with the names at the end of the story.

Story isn't bad. Catfight with Nicole in it? :whistling: Hehe. But 95% of your uses of "your" are wrong.

So it finally worked by having my iPod restore to it's factory settings. Now I have to find all 40 of my Ryan Farish songs and the other 200 songs to sync again. My apps were restored the same way thanks to a back up.

I know, there are other mistakes in there too, like I said in that post it's only a rough draft so I'm still going to revisions on the dialog, different scenes, etc.

Hey Martin, Jen and Mike gave you a little shout-out this morning at around 6:30 Central Time this morning on YWT. They had the camera panned to Norfolk. I'm sure you're used to this, because you're good friends with them all. But I just wanted to let you know that they did. How cool is that?!  B)

Gotta love Comcast, they ended up not adding TWC HD to my system.  :censored:

Edit: Just got off the phone with Comcast and they told me "we see no records of any new HD channels being added for today (4/21) sorry for the inconvenience this problem may have caused"

& get this, Why send a notification bill specifically stating HD channels would be added if it's not in the computer system? I'm flipping mad

Now you understand how I felt when March 26th came and went and I didn't get anything either. I'm over it at this point, but soon I hope, lol

Tip:  get a Twitter account, tweet something with a #Comcast hashtag, and they'll try and help.  I've had two problems and the Twitter people are MUCH more helpful.

WOW! Aww that was soo nice of them :) Thanks for pointing that out. Gave me a chance to clip the video.

Are these channels that other areas have and your area is just waiting for upgrades to get it? Sorry to hear that. Its a common thing for these upgrades to get delayed. In my area some remote counties took nearly a year. I always found those little notices on the bills were just a clever way to get folks to shut up and stop complaining. Really crappy of them

Alex, I don't understand why Comcast has taken so long for you to put up more HD channels like TWC.  I've had TWC HD for two years either by Time Warner Cable when I was in NY or by DirecTV in WV now.  I see all these ads portraying who has the most HD channels, and I'm really starting to wonder what's really true. :thinking:

To my knowledge, DirecTV is confirmed to carry most cable networks in HD. :yes:
